Reborn farming life

Chapter 41 Preparation
I received a notice from the editor today, and it will be on the shelves tomorrow. To be honest, I didn’t expect it to be on the shelves so soon, and I feel a little uncertain.The editor encourages me to have self-confidence. What I want to say is that my self-confidence comes from the support of the students. Maybe my writing style is not very outstanding, but I am constantly working hard to improve and want to write an article that everyone is satisfied with.Not much nonsense, I just hope that everyone will continue to support this article and nature in the future, and the future plots will be more exciting!
Li Yu went home and told Lian'er and Granny Liu about today's situation, the excitement was beyond words.But as he was talking, Li Yu suddenly realized that he had forgotten one important thing - "ingredients".Li Yu suddenly patted himself on the head, which startled them, Lian Er hurriedly asked, "Miss? What's the matter with you? Why did you hit yourself?"

Li Yu looked at Lian'er in frustration and wailed, "Ah! I forgot to buy ingredients." After hearing this, Lian'er opened her mouth and looked at her young lady. Granny Liu also looked at her suspiciously. It just feels like everyone despises me.So he lowered his head and scolded himself, "I'm so excited and confused. I have forgotten such a big thing. It seems that I can't open tomorrow." Thinking of this, Li Yu suddenly felt like a chicken blood. Jumping up, he muttered, "No, I have to go to Aunt Liu to discuss it."

Before Lian Er could react, Li Yu ran out of the house like the wind. The three people in the yard had different reactions. Lian Er didn't expect her lady to run so fast. It's my sister who went out to play again, why didn't she bring Tuantuan with her?But Granny Liu was thinking, this child is too reckless, it seems that he should teach him well in the future.

Of course, Li Yu didn't know the reaction of the three of her family, and now her mind is full of two words "material~material~" Li Yu can be said to have run to Aunt Liu's house, and she was still out of breath when she saw Aunt Liu. Yun, stumbled and began to utter words, "Auntie. Son. I." Li Yu was really panting, and after talking for a long time, he just uttered these four words.

Aunt Liu was very surprised to see Li Yu like this. In her impression, Li Yu was always steady and orderly. She had never seen such a gaffe like this one before. He could only caress Li Yu's back and say, "Slow down. Slow down, wait until your breath is smooth, look at you in such a hurry, what's going on?"

Li Yu took a rest for a while, and managed to catch his breath. He took Aunt Liu's hand and began to pour out beans, "Auntie, I, I forgot to buy ingredients, and I can't open it tomorrow!" "Huh?" Aunt Liu listened I was taken aback for a moment, and then I couldn't laugh or cry, "What am I supposed to do, you, you usually seem to be a prudent and calculating person, why do you know you're panicking now?" Li Yu looked at Li Yu embarrassedly Then I said again, "Okay, it won't matter if it opens a day later at worst, but what ingredients do you need? Auntie will also help you calculate the total."

Aunt Liu's words were exactly what Li Yu wanted, and now Li Yu was impatient to open a shop and stopped saying polite words, "Auntie, I want some eggs, hard beans, some chickens, some vegetables, and some rice noodles."

Aunt Liu groaned for a while and said to Li Yu, "The things you want are not difficult, and we can buy them all in our village, but for this vegetable, there is nothing to eat this winter, so I can only get some cabbage and potatoes. , do you think it’s okay?” Li Yu also knew that in this day and age, there are no vegetables in winter, and even if there is such a price, the price is too high for others, and he can’t afford it, so he nodded and said, “Auntie, if you have cabbage, potatoes are enough. It’s ok. But I have to trouble my aunt to help me buy it.”

Of course, Aunt Liu had no objection, "Okay, this matter will be left to Auntie, and you will go to each house with me to collect it in a while. I guess you can't finish it today, but it should be fine tomorrow. By the way, I have always wanted to ask you , what do you want those hard beans for? Can you sell them and eat them?"

"Well, of course you can eat it, but it's hard to say now. I'll invite you to try it when it opens, okay?" Aunt Liu laughed and said, "Okay, wait for Sister Yu to make it for Auntie to eat!"

Seeing that the matter was settled, Li Yu was also relieved, only to realize that Aunt Liu seemed to be alone at home, looking around, she couldn't help asking curiously, "Auntie, why are you alone at home, where are Uncle Liu and Erya?" Li Yu's face changed slightly, and he looked a little annoyed, and finally sighed, "Isn't it? My niece just came back and insisted on going out for a walk, so I asked Erya to accompany her to the village. , your uncle was worried, so he followed."

Seeing that Li Yu was listening, Aunt Liu also wanted to pour into the bitter water, pulled Li Yu and continued, "Originally, this is a family matter and I shouldn't say it outside, but ah, auntie, I'm holding my breath in my heart, tell your uncle, he I only know about smoking cigarettes, and talking to that child Erya is useless, so my aunt can only talk to you."

"Auntie, just tell me what you have, and I'll help you out with ideas. If it doesn't work, I can help you relax. It's not good to be bored all the time!" Li Yu was not a troublesome person, but for Aunt Liu It's different.

"Isn't it just my niece Xiruo? It's such an embarrassment. I even regret that I agreed to her to come. In fact, I have always wondered that our two families have not communicated with each other more than ten years ago. They left their way." Yangguandao, we are our single-plank bridge, each house is another house, and no one can control the other."

Aunt Liu probably remembered what happened back then, and her face was a little ugly, "But it's been decades, and Erya and the others didn't exist at that time, so I didn't take my anger out on Xiruo, after all, there was no I won't say anything about her, but who would have thought that she has such a temperament, and she has only been here for a few days? She is picky all day long. Xinxin always tells Erya to help her do this and that. My daughter is not her maid, so I am reluctant to order him around. Forget it, but she's fine, and she's getting more and more arrogant, as if we are their servants. Do you think I can't be angry?
After listening to Aunt Liu's words, Li Yu felt that this woman was really a top-notch woman. She could become a host if she was a guest in someone else's house, but Li Yu didn't know what to say. Could it be that Aunt Liu drove her away?So I can only say some comforting words, "Auntie, don't be angry, it's not worth it to make my aunt angry because of her. In the future, if she has any requests in the house, just ignore her. This kind of person will beat a snake to a stick .Leave her alone."

"Hey! I don't want to talk to her either, but I just can't help the anger in my heart and really want to send her back." At the end, Aunt Liu was still a little bit aggrieved, and Li Yu finally coaxed Aunt Liu well by saying some comforting words. .

"Hey! Look at me, let me tell you this so that you can help me worry about it too. Okay, let's not talk about it, let's go to each house to collect the ingredients." Aunt Liu had vented enough, so she dragged Li Yu to collect the ingredients.

After a day and a half of hard work, Li Yu collected a total of one hundred eggs, five chickens, three big bags of hard beans, thirty catties of potatoes, one hundred catties of cabbage, fifty catties of medium rice, fifty catties of fragrant rice, and white flour. Fifty catties cost seven hundred Wen in total.Li Yu, Aunt Liu, and Lian Er hired a car and took Li Yu's two large baskets of sweet potatoes, a large bag of peppers, and a stone mill to the town.

Afterwards, Li Yu went to the town to buy oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar and some seasonings, which filled the store's kitchen.Li Yu looked at the sky and wanted to take Lian'er to make some preparations, but Aunt Liu also insisted on staying to help.Then the three of them got busy. Li Yu first soaked a large pot of hard beans, and asked Lian Er to kill a chicken first, and the rest were kept in the backyard for the time being.Aunt Liu helped make the noodles, and Li Yu went to cook thirty eggs.

After all these were done, Li Yu went to the counter and began to write the name of the dishes on the prepared wooden sign with a brush. Vegetarian dishes cost one penny each, meat dishes cost four pennies each, assorted skewers cost three pennies, and rice pennies a penny. A bowl of money, a steamed bun for a penny, a bowl of fresh soy milk for a penny, and a plate of shredded sweet potatoes for ten cents. Write each of these on a wooden board, and then tie it with a red cloth and hang it on the wall behind the counter.

After Li Yu finished writing, he looked around his store. The more he looked at it, the more he was satisfied, and his heart was full of strength. Finally, he finally had his own store. I hope that tomorrow will have a good start.At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun shone in, and Li Yu felt warm and comfortable all over his body in this cold and windy winter day.
