Huanxi Farm: Pick up a husband for farming

Chapter 32 Thriving and Prosperous
The cool golden autumn is about to pass, and the withered and yellow leaves are gradually falling from the treetops, leaving only the bare tree poles on the side of the road pointing straight at the sky, like a sharp sword splitting the sky.

At the same time, the hoarfrost in the morning is getting thicker and thicker. When I go out in the morning, I take a breath, and what comes out is a thick white mist. The wild geese that lined up in the sky to fly over the hills to spend the winter in the south gradually disappear and hide. up.The water flow in the river is bitingly cold, and there is no longer the behavior of playful little boys soaking in the water in order to cool off.

All these indicate that the temperature is dropping, the solar terms are changing, the golden autumn is over, and the early winter is coming.

If it was in previous years, the Rong family at this time would be worried about how to survive the winter. They would not have enough clothes and food to eat. Although the family is harmonious, the problem of food and clothing for survival has not been solved.

But this year's Rong family, under the leadership of Rong Shui, first dug out the first pot of gold in life by digging Ruyi fruit, and then used these funds as preparations to open the first fried chicken restaurant in the town. Shi also took Rong Wan and Rong Xiaomei to start the chicken farm at home. Rong Qing is doing his best to prepare for the next year's Spring County Examination in order to win fame. It can be said that the industry is booming and thriving.

The Rong family's fried chicken shop has also been open for more than a month. When the bill was settled at the end of the month, Rong Qing was called to settle the account. The gross profit was nearly 200 taels. After deducting those seventy-eight taels, the net profit was more than 100 taels.

Rongshui took the money, and the first thing she did was to ask for the house to be refurbished. She and Rong Ming basically live in the backyard hut, but she feels that no matter what happens, the house is the first in the eyes of the Chinese people. The most important thing, she really doesn't want to go back and share a bed with the three of Rong Wanrong...

In the countryside, wood is cheap, but masonry is more expensive, and you have to order it from someone who specializes in making bricks. It takes a month to burn the bricks, but as long as you have 40 taels of silver, you can rebuild a building. It's a nice house.

After a family meeting, the Rong family decided not to renovate the house, but to build a new one on the original foundation. Because there are three girls in the family who are going to get married, they originally planned to build a new house. The house that they entered twice will be reserved for Rong Ming and Rong Qing to marry their wives in the future.

However, Rong Qing said that it is all thanks to Rong Shui that the family can live such a good life, and she must be rewarded. In the future, she will be married, whether it is Rong Wan or Rong Xiaomei. , Going back to her natal family to visit her relatives, they all have their own houses.

Rong Shui smiled and thought, I don't know if I would like to marry in the future.It's just that this is something for later, and it's meaningless to say it now, so she didn't mention it, and agreed with Rong Qing's statement.

In the end, it was Rong Zheng who made the final decision, and set aside 60 taels of silver to build a new house with three entrances, next to the chicken coop!
After making this important decision, Rong Mingrong returned to the town to continue their fried chicken business.

Rongshui only makes a limited amount of fried chicken every day. Sometimes it is sold out in the morning, and sometimes it may be sold out in the afternoon. Sometimes it is early and late, but it is the same every day. It is sold out, and when it is sold out, it is polite to close. Please come back early tomorrow.

She racked her brains on marketing, and sometimes baked a cake specially and divided it into several pieces to give to customers who claimed to have another birthday at home, saying that they would eat cakes on their birthdays.

Sometimes some customers buy a lot, and she will send two pairs of carefully roasted honey-glazed chicken legs, chicken wings, etc., and no one who has eaten it is full of praise.

Rongshui has also gained a sense of accomplishment from this career, and has also developed an interest in cooking. He usually sells out fried chicken in the morning, and spends his afternoons tinkering in the kitchen, learning to cook dishes that he has only heard of before, or simply cooking. Create new recipes yourself.

There are still too few cooking techniques in this era, only the four most basic methods of frying, boiling, and steaming.Moreover, this method of frying was a new thing invented by the previous dynasty less than 200 years ago, and this method of frying was brought over by her.

In her previous life, she was a big foodie country that accumulated thousands of years of accumulation. She was absolutely impatient with eating, and she had 12 points of patience.In the era of her life, even she, who was not interested in cooking at that time, knew that there were more than 20 kinds of cooking techniques, such as sautéing, simmering, roasting, braising, stewing, stewing, simmering, stewing, roasting, smoking, Cold salad, etc., it is difficult to list.

Dishes made with different cooking techniques, even if the ingredients are the same, will have great differences in taste and taste, which will bring many novel feelings to people.

Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching says that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. When she was immersed in the world of cooking, she also realized many philosophies of life, and realized that she was too upright in her previous life, did not know how to adapt, and did not leave room for herself to change , so in the end he ended up with a tragic death.

Therefore, Rongshui made fried chicken and sold it all day long, and added a few new dishes. When Junli slipped down the mountain, he would specially leave a delicious meal for him. Every day was busy and fulfilling. In her spare time, she hopes that the bricks will be fired soon, and she must go back to live in the new house for two days after the new house is built.

However, nothing is good for three days. After a few days, it doesn't stop. Some people are jealous that Rong's family opened a fried chicken restaurant, and a lot of money goes into the account every day. The envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts, That crooked thought popped up.

The Rong family's fried chicken shop opened in the west of the city, and as a result, fewer people came to buy fried chicken that day. Rong Shui took it to heart, and gave a freshly fried fish steak to a frequent customer, and told him After saying a few sweet words, he brought up the topic and asked him tactfully what happened today.

The customer was also loyal and told her the whole story: "You still don't know? There is also a fried chicken shop in the east of the city, called Luo's Fried Chicken Shop, and they said they would compete with your Rong's Fried Chicken Shop! Today is just the opening day, and I am also learning from your previous practice. For the top [-], you can buy one and get one free. No, many people run away in order to try something new and want to have free fried chicken. Let's watch the fun. I'm my grandson, and I want to eat your fried chicken, so I'm too lazy to go."

After hearing what the guest said, Rong Shui's heart sank, but his face remained calm, he said goodbye to the guest politely, and gave her a small bag of newly developed spicy chicken chopped into small pieces, and the guest smiled He thanked her all over his face and left with his things.

That day was the first time since they opened the store that the morning was over and half of the quantity had not been sold.

The two brothers and sisters looked at each other, and they could see the heavy heart in each other's eyes.

Sure enough, when the shop barely opened until Youshi, an hour later than usual, there were still a lot of fried chicken left.

Rong Shui closed the door and said angrily: "Seeing that we have made some money, we jumped out to follow suit! It's really shallow and hateful! Alas, it's a pity that there is no way to register trademarks in this era, otherwise , Li Gui or Li Kui, we will know immediately!"

Rong Ming also had a gloomy face, and said sullenly: "Second sister, what do you think about this? In the past, only our fried chicken restaurant was the only one, and our business could be so good, but this Luo's fried chicken restaurant has opened. The fried chicken restaurant can be opened as soon as it is said, and in a few days, Liu's fried chicken restaurant and Chen's fried chicken restaurant will all open! Then what business do we still have?"

Rong Shui gritted his teeth with hatred, his mind was racing with thoughts, desperately trying to think of a solution, but he didn't have a clue for a while, and finally had no choice but to say to Rong Ming: "Brother, people in this town don't know Sister. When I go back today, I will bring my elder sister over, disguise myself, sneak in among the diners, and follow me to see what Luo's Fried Chicken Shop is like, so as to know their background."

Rong Ming nodded, Rong Shui knew that the leftover fried chicken must not be kept until the next day, the taste of the fried chicken that has been left for a long time is not as good as before, the diners are not fools, they can taste it once they taste it, and they can't spoil their own food Rongshui would never do such opportunistic things.

But with so many fried chickens, I was really reluctant to throw them away, and my heart ached so much, Rong Shui thought about it and came up with an idea.

She brought the fried chicken to the town, accompanied by Rong Ming, who went to look for those beggars and vagrants, distributed the fried chicken to them, and told them that it was produced by the authentic Rong's fried chicken shop, those beggars With the free chicken to eat, everyone burst into tears with gratitude, bowed their heads to the two, and said that Rongshui is the reincarnation of Guanyin, and she is merciful and compassionate to save the suffering.

Rong Shui winked at Rong Ming, and Rong Ming said: "Brother is absurd, how can my sister be the reincarnation of Goddess Guanyin? Big brother, don't say that, you don't have to hurt my sister. But my sister was indeed there In my dream, I had to be taught by Goddess Guanyin, otherwise my Rong family would not have lived such a good life. There are rumors in the village that my sister is the reincarnation of a dragon girl under the goddess of Goddess of Mercy. How can my sister be able to climb high?"

Ever since Rong Ming opened a fried chicken restaurant and was forced to be a salesperson, his eloquence has become much better than before.He speaks well, looks handsome, and is tall. The Rong family has now gotten rid of poverty and become rich. The family is well-off, with a lot of money, and I don't know how many girls are secretly in love with him.It's a pity that Rong Ming is very slow in this aspect, and he didn't notice it at all, causing those girls to give their smirks to the goose, and they all complained endlessly.

Besides, the beggar listened to Rong Ming's words, how could he say what he wanted, and shouted loudly: "Thank you Dragon Girl Boy for your kindness! The kindness of a meal, I will never forget it!"

With his shouting, more beggars and homeless men were attracted. Rong Ming guarded Rongshui and handed out fried chicken one by one. The beggar at the beginning told everyone that Rongshui was a dragon The girl was reincarnated, so the scene was a bit uncontrollable for a while, some people even knelt down and wanted to kowtow to Rong Shui, but she stopped it with all kinds of words.

Seeing that the timing was almost ready, Rong Shui began to plan to evacuate, but even though she left, those beggars spread the good reputation of Rong's Fried Chicken Restaurant by word of mouth and spread it to a wider area.

It is said that the two brothers and sisters of the Rong family gave free fried chicken to charity on the street, and two of them hid in the ruined temple and watched, drooling, but they didn't dare to go forward to ask for it, they just waited for a certain beggar to place an order After that, he rushed over to snatch it, wolfed it down and stuffed it into his mouth, catching the beggar by surprise and wanting revenge, but he was not a match for the two, so he had to leave angrily after being severely beaten.
