The grand lady who time-traveled became a hot mom

Chapter 103

Lin Qiulai was overjoyed by the news of Fang Yumin's pregnancy. Fang Yumin became more considerate and gentle, and didn't even want her to go outside the building again, for fear that she would be too tired.Naturally, Fang Yumin would not agree, it would get moldy every day at home, but she was still capable of making plans and collecting coins.And it’s also good for prenatal education.

Lin Qiulai couldn't hold back Fang Yumin, so he had to ask Xiaochen to collect the cash with her.Although Lin Qiu said that he didn't mind having only Xiao Ming as a child, in fact, who wouldn't want to have more children in their family?There is no entertainment here, only so much at night, and the medical conditions are poor. It is not like modern times where you can wear a condom and eat a small ball to prevent pregnancy. If you are healthy, a couple will have a football team. It is not a dream!
The busy and fulfilling days passed quickly, because of sufficient nutrition and proper rest, Fang Yumin's body became plump instead, and there was no vomiting of pregnant women. It was unexpected that she could be pregnant so easily.Fang Yumin felt that the child in her womb was either a caring girl in a padded jacket, or a well-behaved boy like Xiao Ming, and the size of the children also changed very quickly, almost changing every day.When they grow up, they will be more capable. Both Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin are much more relaxed.

The prosperity of the building outside the building will naturally attract the jealousy of other restaurants and restaurants.Fang Yumin and Lin Qiulai didn't want to attract hatred, so the business hours of the building outside the building were set from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm.The order will be cut off at two o'clock in the afternoon, and other restaurants and restaurants can't say anything about such a behavior of leaving room.

In addition, the group who are thinking about the building outside the building are not so easy to provoke. They are ruffians and local snakes. They will go to whichever store they do well to ask for protection money.do not give?hit!Give?Will want more and more, greed is their nature, this is their source of income!

Fang Yumin had already thought of a countermeasure, and she knew it when she and Aunt Chunhua and Ah Qing set up a stall selling hot and sour noodles in the West Market, so she wanted to curry favor with that old fox in Lizheng.Local snakes and the government, that is, the underworld and the police, of course Fang Yumin chooses the police.

Lin Zhuxin has a good friendship with the county lord, as long as he mentions it to the county lord, he will also give the moon silver donated by Fang Yumin.The county lord would not refuse either, as long as he said something, the county government servants patrolling the food street in the eastern district would naturally pay more attention to the buildings outside the building.

Of course, it is not enough to pay more attention. Fang Yumin also wants to give some benefits to those patrolling yamen servants, such as giving them steamed buns, shortbread, and spiced tofu as snacks for them to eat while patrolling; Take it home and eat it.Anyway, these are not worth much. If the hooligans come to ask for protection money or smash the tables and chairs, the loss will be even greater.

In this way, with the temptation of free delicious food, there will be more government servants vying to apply to patrol the building outside the building, and almost all of them are walking around the store.This is equivalent to inviting the county-level police!If the people don't fight with the officials, no matter how strong the underworld is, they won't dare to force the police, right?Therefore, the building outside the building is still quite safe, and the food street in the East District also has fewer hooligans coming to make trouble, and the reputation of the county government has also improved because of this.That's another story.

Under Fang Yumin's wise leadership, with Lin Qiulai and Xiaofeng Xiaoliang's cooking skills becoming more and more proficient, and with everyone's smiling service, the business of Louwailou is not the most prosperous, but only more prosperous.

In a blink of an eye, it is almost the season of spring flowers and March, and spring plowing will start in half a month.Fang Yumin made a prompt decision, and the duck cooking started before the end of the rice field fish harvest.

Duck is cold, so it is not good to eat in autumn and winter, but it is most suitable to eat in spring and summer, especially summer.The completely different taste makes diners who have eaten fish dishes for more than a month turn to those roast ducks, stewed ducks, and sauced ducks.At this time, Ah Qing took the little ones to distribute leaflets, attracting a new round of diners.

Ducks are selected from two to three catties, and the meat is tender and not too fat.Although the ancients or people who seldom have the opportunity to eat oil love to eat fatty meat, the mouth full of oil feels so good and very fragrant, so they can't stop.But Fang Yumin still felt that too fat duck would taste greasy, which would affect diners' desire to order another dish.Making money, and making as much money as possible is the most important thing.

It was Fang Yumin's long-awaited plan to make duck dishes in Louwailou.The duck tastes strong, Fang Yumin doesn't want to eat it at home, but Aunt Chunhua, Lin Xialai and the others don't mind, as long as they can make money.The fat and water don't flow into outsiders' fields. Since Fang Yumin wants to do this business, Fang Yumin naturally asks the two families that have a good relationship with her.

When the ducks weighed 2-3 catties, Fang Yumin gave priority to buying them from the two of them.Then came the other villagers in the Lin Family Village, and finally the poultry market in the county.

When Zhang Cuihua found out about this, her face turned dark, and she was in a terrible mood.Fang Yumin eccentrically went to the horizon, she took care of Lin Xialai's family to such an extent that she not only taught them how to raise rabbits, but also helped them build a new house, taught Xiaohua how to make soy sauce, and now even bought ducks from his family !
That's fine, after all, Lin Xialai is also his own son, but what is going on with taking care of Lin Damin's family?Don't they have a big brother named Lin Chunlai?Why don't you take care of your elder brother?

Zhang Cuihua was upset, and Hu Shi was even more upset.Seeing that Lin Qiulai's family has changed from poor to landlord in just over a year, her family is still the same.Driven by Fang Yumin, even her second uncle's family, which she had always looked down upon, became rich, and her own family remained the same.Originally thought that before the Chinese New Year, Yu Min would benefit from accepting her three children, but it turned out to be the same. How could she not be envious and jealous?
The Hu family in the village and outside the village began to say bad things about Fang Yumin, such as a hen that doesn't lay eggs, a short-lived ghost with the same face, etc. She spoke vigorously, but the listeners became impatient.The villagers who followed Fang Yumin to raise rice field fish and made a fortune, and the villagers who made more money by exporting sweet potato flour knew very well that Mrs. Hu was the jealousy of Hong Guoguo, and her character was so bad that this program was also the best. up.Didn't his family benefit from these?How dare you say such vicious words?
After doing this several times, Mrs. Hu became Mrs. Xianglin, but everyone didn't even bother to say a few perfunctory words, and hurried home as soon as they saw her speak.There's still a lot of work to do at home.

Everyone unanimously refused to mention these horrible things to Fang Yumin, fearing that it would affect her mood and be harmful to the fetus.In fact, Fang Yumin didn't take these gossips to heart at all. She was already mentally prepared when she asked Aunt Chunhua and her second sister-in-law He to raise ducks.Anyway, their family moved to the county after a few years. Even if Zhang Cuihua and the Hu family rolled around on the ground and scolded her in the village, it had nothing to do with her.

When duck dishes have completely replaced fish dishes, Lin Qiulai's spring plowing will begin.Fang Yumin discussed with Lin Qiulai, and decided to take Xiaofeng back to Lin's Village, and He also went back to help Lin Qiulai cook lunch for the villagers hired to work.

"Let's hire a few more people to work, and you'll come back as soon as you finish your work." Fang Yumin said to Lin Qiu when she saw Lin Xialai coming to pick her up in a bullock cart.Xiaofeng stood behind with a bundle.

Lin Qiulai held Fang Yumin's hand: "Okay, you also need to rest more, if you are tired, let Xiaochen do it, don't force yourself."

Fang Yumin smiled: "I know this well, don't worry. Xiaofeng, you have to study hard with the master, and ask more if you don't understand."

Xiaofeng quickly nodded and replied: "Yes, ma'am."

Lin Qiulai and Xiaofeng went back to Linjiacun, and there were two chefs missing in the kitchen. Fortunately, they are now cooking duck dishes. Fang Yumin decided to make duck dishes that can be made into semi-finished products in advance: Eight Treasure Duck.

Eight-treasure duck takes a lot of effort to make, but it can be made in advance. When it is ready to eat, put it in the fire and then simmer and heat it.The longer the duck is stewed, the softer it will be. In fact, there are no ingredients, but Fang Yumin put together all the ingredients that Fang Yumin can get together, including mushrooms, bamboo shoots, ham, diced meat, shrimp, millet and glutinous rice. There are no lotus seeds here. Fang Yumin added peanuts instead and made a few. I hope the taste will be the same.

The duck needs to be marinated overnight with cooking wine, soy sauce and salt, and the ingredients to be stuffed into the duck's belly must be sautéed until fragrant before being stuffed into the duck's belly and then sewn up with needles and threads.Heat up the oil, scoop up the hot oil with a spoon and drizzle it over the eight treasure duck until it is golden brown, then it is ready to be steamed.

These tasks can be done after the store is closed, so even if there are two chefs in the kitchen, it will not have a big impact on the business of the store. Instead, the eight-treasure duck is ruddy in color, complete in shape, and the duck meat is crispy. , plump and fragrant, juicy and delicious, it is more popular with diners.It is worth mentioning that, because most of Louwailou's products are stew pots, the takeaway business is quite good.

Lin Qiulai's family has more than thirty acres of dry land and three acres of rice fields.It's not the right time to plant rice seedlings now, but Lin Qiu came home to level a seedling field early on, and covered the rice field with a film, so the temperature inside is much warmer than outside.The rice seeds had been sown earlier and tender seedlings have already emerged. Looking at the length, it will be possible to transplant rice seedlings in a few days.

As for the dry land of more than [-] mu, Fang Yumin meant to grow peanuts and soybeans. Even the corn that used to take up more than half was only planted with two mu of land. The other mung beans and red beans were grown for their own food. serving size.

As soon as Lin Qiulai returned to Lin's Village, Zhang Cuihua came looking for her.Without him, I want Lin Qiulai to benefit her and Lin Chunlai.

"Mother, I really don't have time right now." Lin Qiulai was speechless to Zhang Cuihua who came to block him early in the morning.

"Then give me money!" Zhang Cuihua said forcefully, "You earned so much money from opening a store, why don't you be filial to your father and mother? Is it easy for your mother to drag you to such an age and help you marry a wife? "

Did you help marry the daughter-in-law?Didn't you cheat your mother-in-law ten taels of silver because I want to marry Xiao Min?Lin Qiulai complained in his heart, but kept his mouth shut.He knew that once he opened his mouth to refute, his mother would roll to the ground and howl so that the whole village would know.

Lin Qiulai said to the stunned Xiaofeng who was standing beside him: "I have already notified Brother Damin and the others, you go to Xiaohua's house and tell me that there are twelve people having dinner at noon today."

"Twelve people? You prodigal!" Before Xiaofeng could answer, Zhang Cuihua jumped up first.Last year, Lin Qiulai hired six or seven people to work in the fields under the instigation of Fang Xiaolian. The daily wages were tens of yuan per person, but now he hired twelve people!How good is that money for her?
Xiaofeng was startled by Zhang Cuihua's loud voice, but she was not his master, so Xiaofeng still ran to Xiaohua's house calmly after responding to her fierce eyes.No wonder my wife moved to the county, there is a wicked mother-in-law!
Lin Qiulai turned around and closed and locked the door, ignoring Zhang Cuihua who was sitting on the ground patting her thigh and howling. Work was important.And he and Fang Yumin never treated their father and mother at a disadvantage.Since the business of Louwailou stabilized, Fang Yumin asked Lin Qiulai to give 500 Wen to Lin Daniu every month, and gave it to Lin Daniu in front of Zhang Cuihua, which was regarded as their family's filial piety to their parents.Not satisfied yet?Or reach out for money?Lin Qiulai never dumped her.

There is great power in numbers!In less than four days, Lin Qiulai's 38 acres of dry land had been sown and watered and covered with film, and the three acres of rice had been dug deep and built a high field foundation. As long as the weather gets warmer, You can transplant seedlings and put fry.

Because he was concerned about Fang Yumin who was pregnant and the business of the building outside the building, Lin Qiu came to see that the work was almost done, so he sent Xiaofeng and Mrs. He back to Nantou County.

Lin Qiulai knew that the main dish he was going to sell was also rabbits.This is what Fang Yumin has decided on long ago, to choose suitable ingredients that are good for the body to eat according to the season.

Although Fang Yumin doesn't like his elder brother Lin Chunlai's family, in fact, he just doesn't like the Hu family.After Lin Qiulai thought about it, he still took several pairs of breeding rabbits from his own rabbit shed and gave them to Lin Chunlai to raise.Of the three brothers in my family, one of them is always biased towards the bad, and the village will also gossip.Although I moved to the county, this is my hometown after all, and I have to come back to worship during the New Year.

Brothers don't always talk a lot between each other, just pat on the shoulder and look at each other to know what you want.Lin Qiulai ignored Zhang Cuihua's cursing, and together with Lin Xialai, they took a few cages of ducks and rabbits back to the building outside.

Fang Yumin took Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang, and Xiao Lu followed behind with the hot eight-treasure duck to find the shopkeeper Jin.Before that, they had already visited shopkeeper Zhang.

In the name of giving Babao Duck a taste, it is actually to maintain relationship with customers.How should I put it, he is still a big customer of her family.As far as the income of the building outside the building is still not as rich as that of the sauce, and the restaurant restricts the place, the source of customers is like this, but the sauce can be sold all over the country.But first of all, you have to grasp the customers in your hands before you can find other potential customers.

"Treasurer Jin, try it." The steaming eight-treasure duck was wrapped in lotus leaves. Xiaoyang untied it neatly, and cut open the belly of the duck with a knife, revealing the fragrant, soft and glutinous ingredients. The duck flavor also exudes a tempting meaty aroma.Without Fang Yumin's signal, Xiao Yang used a knife and a large spoon to scoop a duck leg and stuffing onto the plate of shopkeeper Jin.

Shopkeeper Jin sniffed it first, and then laughed loudly: "Smell, it's really fragrant! I've heard that the eight-treasure duck in the building outside the building is crispy and tender, but before I had time to taste it, you sent it over, Mrs. Lin. "

"We only cook some home-cooked dishes in the shop. After going back to Linjiacun in the autumn, there are two chefs missing in the shop, so I just wanted to make some stews for a few days. I just didn't expect it to be popular with everyone." Fang Yumin said modestly : "Look, it's all done by seeing it. If your chef cooks it, it will definitely be more delicious and authentic than ours."

Shopkeeper Jin glanced at Fang Yumin with a smile, tried a few mouthfuls, and asked, "Do you mind if I do the same?"

Fang Yumin waved his hands and said with a smile: "I don't mind, I don't mind. Even if your family doesn't make it, other restaurants may do it. After all, it's just a lot of trouble, but it's not difficult. It's just that the duck must be marinated overnight with soy sauce, cooking wine and salt. Otherwise, the duck meat will be delicious."

Shopkeeper Jin looked at Fang Yumin with a smile, and Fang Yumin also looked at him with a smile.The two knew it well, but didn't say anything.

Shopkeeper Jin turned to the two children and asked them about their homework, but he was very approachable.Xiao Ming was a bit introverted, and was a little shy at first, but with his mother and brother around, Shopkeeper Jin was not a stranger, and soon he was able to talk and laugh freely.And Xiaoyang is older, he used to be the head of the children, he has leadership skills, he can chat with shopkeeper Jin about everything, and he has a good eloquence!
Fang Yumin brought the children out to let them have more contact with successful people and get used to the aura of the superior.Although Shopkeeper Jin and Shopkeeper Zhang only run restaurants, they are indeed successful people who can open a restaurant in this East City and gain a firm foothold and become the best restaurant in Nantou County.

"Your store hasn't sold roast duck recently." Shopkeeper Jin said suddenly.

Fang Yumin chuckled and said, "That's because our roast duck is not as good as your restaurant's. People will know if it's good as soon as they eat it. How dare I do it again?"

Shopkeeper Jin smiled: "Miss Lin can really talk."

It is true that Lou Wai Lou rarely cooks roast duck, but mainly stewed duck and sauced duck.The soup of the stewed duck is eaten together with the freshly baked flatbread. It is a delicious and filling dish.It's also very popular.

The two talked for a while, and Fang Yumin left.Clients stay connected but don't have to be overly enthusiastic.

It's no problem for the shopkeeper of Babao Yajin to do it, because Lin Qiulai has already put several cages of rabbits in the store.Their Louwailou will launch a new dish soon - Rabbit Cuisine.

When Lin Qiulai saw Fang Yumin, he hurriedly went up to meet him: "Xiao Min, why did you go so long?"

"It's not long, didn't we just chat for a while?" Fang Yumin took his hand and went to the living room to sit down.

"Daddy doesn't see mother for a moment like three autumns." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Lin Qiulai poked Xiao Ming: "Did you use a typo?"

"No." Xiao Ming lifted his chin: "I just want to emphasize the deep affection between father and mother."

Xiao Yang, who was walking behind, couldn't help laughing, and the other children also laughed.It's not embarrassing for Lin Qiulai to be laughed at by the children, let alone Fang Yumin, she is beautiful in her heart.

The store is closed today, and all the children are in Confucian Garden.Fang Yumin decided that the building outside the building would have one day off every week, and if it happened to be a market day, it would be postponed by one day.

Seeing that Fang Yumin had rested enough, Xiao Ming hurried over and asked, "Mom, what should we have for dinner tonight?"

"What do you want to eat?"

Without even thinking about it, Xiao Ming said, "Scrambled eggs, tofu soup, and bacon rice."

Xiao Yang even nodded, saying that he wanted to eat too.

Fang Yumin blinked and immediately understood.Since the opening of Louwailou, the whole family eats in the store, and they eat whatever the store sells.Although every dish is delicious, the taste is heavy, so if you eat too much, you will naturally want to eat some light side dishes.

"Qiu Lai, let's have some light side dishes tonight. Everyone is tired of eating big meals." Fang Yumin said to Lin Qiu with a smile.

"Okay. We can eat whatever you want." Lin Qiulai smiled softly, and the others nodded too.Everyone knows that Fang Yumin has always been the eldest in the family, and now that she is pregnant, she is even the queen.

That night, Fang Yumin was in charge of the kitchen, and Xiaofeng and Xiaoyu were in charge.Boiled chicken, scrambled eggs with shallots, steamed pork with dried fish and peanuts, stewed tofu with pork ribs, shredded potatoes with vinegar, stir-fried vegetables with garlic and a big pot of chicken soup.

There are a lot of people in the family, and the portions are very large. Everyone is very satisfied. This is home-cooked food, which is very different from the ones in restaurants.
