The grand lady who time-traveled became a hot mom

Chapter 32

This time to go to the market, Fang Yumin and Aunt Chunhua only brought Ah Qing.Lin Qiulai was ordered by Fang Yumin to build a stable poultry shed next to the cowshed, and she planned to raise rabbits in it.

Rabbits eat vegetables and grass, which is low cost.A female rabbit can give birth to 6-8 litters a year, and each litter will give birth to a litter of rabbits BB.And the growth period of rabbits only takes about three months.

Thinking of a female rabbit giving birth to so many rabbits in a year and growing them so quickly, Fang Yumin was very happy.If there were a few more female rabbits, wouldn't it be a large group?Thinking of the fact that there will be another low-cost food seller in the future, and the white money flying into her pocket, Fang Yumin can almost laugh out of a dream.

Therefore, when Lin Qiulai finished making the noodle stall tools, Fang Yumin assigned him two tasks: building a rabbit shed and catching breeding rabbits.

On the day of going to the market, Fang Yumin got up early in the morning, carrying a bamboo basket on her back and wearing a pocket, and went down to the banyan tree at the head of the village with Aunt Chunhua, Aqing, under Qiu Lai's earnest instructions and Xiao Ming's reluctant eyes.

As soon as she arrived there, Fang Yumin was stared at by three aunts and six wives who gathered there to gossip and gossip about right and wrong.

It's not their fault. The most popular gossip in Linjiacun recently is the inside story about Lin Qiulai's family of three who went away in good spirits and came back disappointed.But because the parties did not mention a word, the neighbors only heard a few words, and more importantly, there were no witnesses!There are actually several versions that have been passed around, and I don't know which one is the real one?hateful!
"Chunhua, Xiaolian, you guys go to the market too."

"Yes, Aunt ABCDE, it's really early for you."

"I heard that your mother-in-law hasn't troubled you recently, has she?"

"Uh."

"Xiao Lian, your mother-in-law speaks ill of you everywhere in the village."

"Yes yes yes."

"Oh."

"You went to your parents-in-law's house that day, did nothing happen?"

"Isn't something going to happen?"

"Xiao Lian, come and listen to me, we support you."

Bala bala...

Everyone squeezed away Aunt Chunhua, and they all surrounded Fang Yumin with eager eyes shining with the desire to hear gossip, come on and cry, let's speak more sensationally!Otherwise, how can we have entertainment?Qiulai daughter-in-law, come on, come and cry!We have prepared cloth towels and hugs for you!

Fang Yumin rolled her eyes wildly in her heart. Although Zhang Cuihua is hateful, she is also Fang Xiaolian's mother-in-law, Xiao Ming's grandma, and Lin Qiulai's old lady!According to Chinese ethics, it is acceptable for a mother-in-law to bully a daughter-in-law in the eyes of everyone, but in exchange, if the daughter-in-law says that the mother-in-law is not, she will be pointed at the back and scolded as unfilial and wicked.Fang Yumin is not stupid enough to push herself to the top of the wave of ethical right and wrong in order to satisfy everyone's gossip mentality.

So, Fang Yumin showed a look of shame, and said in a low voice: "Perhaps my mother-in-law really treats me as her own daughter. She loves and hates me deeply. She must have a little hatred for me in her heart." , I hate that I can't meet her requirements in life and deeds, and I have failed her old man's expectations."

"Ah?" Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this. Why did they react like this?Cheating~ They want to see dog blood, right?Wasn't Fang Xiaolian and Zhang Cuihua extremely incompatible before?The two of them were about to fight, why is Fang Xiaolian reacting so innocuously now?

"Little Lian, don't be afraid, we are all on your side."

"Yes, Xiaolian, if your mother-in-law has done too much to you, you have to tell us."

"She won't threaten you, will she?"

Bala bala...

Fang Yumin rolled her eyes again unladylike, if you are so righteous, why didn't you lend a helping hand to Fang Xiaolian before?Also, our family is finally calm now, why do you still tell about your family affairs to provide you with entertainment?If that woman Zhang Cuihua comes to make trouble again, won't my family never have peace again?
"No, really not, thank you for your concern." Fang Yumin smiled brightly again, sincerely thanking everyone for their concern.Those three aunts and six wives Fang Xiaolian defended her mother-in-law so embarrassingly, but they couldn't ask any more questions.

What Fang Yumin didn't expect was that what she said today reached Zhang Cuihua's ears, and she actually calmed down.He neither troubled Fang Yumin nor spoke ill of Fang Xiaolian, which was unexpected by Fang Yumin.Maybe Zhang Cuihua is not as bad as she imagined?

The ox cart over there has been loaded with goods, Uncle Gui yelled: "Ready to go. Qiu Lai's daughter-in-law, come and sit here."

"Okay, thank you Uncle Gui." Fang Yumin was very happy that Uncle Gui called her over at this time, just in time!
Fang Yumin smiled at everyone and called Ah Qing to get on the bullock cart together.Aunt Chunhua carried a load of baskets and walked to Nantou County as usual.

After walking staggeringly for two hours, we finally arrived in Nantou County.Same as last time, when waiting in line to enter the city, Fang Yumin took out the scallion pancakes she had baked, and ate them with Aqing and Aunt Chunhua while waiting, which was considered lunch.As soon as they entered the city, Ah Qing went to sell baskets, Fang Yumin and Aunt Chunhua searched for spices from stalls selling spices everywhere.

There are really not many stalls selling spices.Fang Yumin used charcoal pen and paper to record each purchase, and then asked the owner when he would come to sell again?

Most of the spice stall owners are family members who go up the mountain to pick and dry. When will the goods be available?This is seasonal, usually the selling price is not high, and few people buy it.Really won't be in stock.

If there is no source of supply, Fang Yumin will set up the next trading day with the owner and ask them to sell the spices to her; if there is supply, Fang Yumin will negotiate a long-term cooperation agreement with them, lower the price by the way, and then negotiate a fixed-day transaction.

It took Fang Yumin a lot of time just to buy spices. Aunt Chunhua didn't speak all the time, she just followed Fang Yumin and watched her do things.

Aunt Chunhua admired Fang Yumin's quick negotiation, but at the same time she was also very worried: If the noodle stall's business fails, Fang Yumin ordered so many spices from the owner, what will happen then?But now Fang Yumin was talking with the businessman and she couldn't interrupt, so she had to wait patiently.

"Thank you, it's such a pleasant decision, thank you." After discussing with the owner, Fang Yumin put the spices into her own and Aunt Chunhua's bamboo baskets and left.

"Little Lian, why do you still order so many spices? What if..."

"Don't worry, Aunt Chunhua, these spices can be stored for a long time. Not to mention whether the noodle stall is open or not, my family also needs to use a lot. Don't worry, I will buy all these spices first, and wait for the noodle Once it is on track, it will be included in our cost.”

"Xiaolian, Aunt Chunhua is not stingy, it's just..."

"Aunt Chunhua, you are worrying too much. My family will really use these spices for a long time. It is also your first time doing business, so I understand these worries. I don't know what kind of temperament you are? Hehe."

"That's fine, that's fine."

After the spices were sold out, Fang Yumin and Aunt Chunhua moved to the pork stall.It's not too late at this time, and it is estimated that we can't get a good price.But Fang Yumin and the others' targets were pork belly, pig offal and big bones.

Fang Yumin stroked her hair, tugged at her clothes, and went into battle with a wide smile.

"Brother, do you still have pork belly for sale?"

"Uh, someone bought it. Why didn't the lady come earlier? Pork belly is very popular."

"I'm so disappointed, thank you, brother."

"No, no thanks. Next time my lady will come earlier, I'll save it for you."

"Okay, next time I'll definitely come over to Big Brother to buy it earlier. Well, Big Brother, how much are your big bones and pig offal?"

"Ah? Big bones don't need money, but pigs have two coins. Seeing that you are a young lady, I will charge you a penny."

"Really?" Fang Yumin was pleasantly surprised, and smiled sweetly at the pork guy: "Thank you so much, big brother."

"No, no need. Miss, remember to come again next time."

"Definitely, definitely." There is an advantage, why not come?

Fang Yumin happily put the big bones and pig offal into the basket, and patted and saw Aunt Chunhua who was stunned again.Then wave goodbye to the pork guy with a smile, and move on to the next pork stall...

In the beginning, Fang Yumin mainly dealt with the pork guy to negotiate prices, and then Aunt Chunhua also joined.Naturally, she couldn't follow Fang Yumin's way of negotiating, let alone the pork guy would vomit, she would vomit first.Aunt Chunhua has a bright personality, and the way she deals with pork guys is the way of men, straightforward and neat.Pork guys are generally heroic, so they have an appetite for them. After this, the record is also comparable to that of Fang Yumin.

In this way, Fang Yumin and Aunt Chunhua's record is actually very strong.There are seven pairs of pigs, two pig stomachs, eight pig feet, and a big basket of pig bones.

It doesn't cost 50 coins to add up, so you can make a lot of money!

Fang Yumin was very happy, thinking about going home to make stewed ribs and braised pork, so she bought three catties of pork that fits all.Aunt Chunhua also bought two catties. At this time, Ah Qing came to find them after selling the baskets.So I divided the booty into three parts, and then went to the grocery store to buy seasonings together.

Because they bought too many things, Fang Yumin only bought a little vegetable oil, salt, vinegar, wine and soy sauce.In the future, Fang Yumin plans to call Lin Qiu to buy them. That man has a lot of strength, so it's not for nothing.

"Aunt Chunhua, Ah Qing, let's go to the snack stall over there and try their noodles." Fang Yumin suggested.

Aunt Chunhua and Ah Qing nodded in agreement.The noodle stall they are cooperating with will open soon, so I have to go and see how their peers operate, and try their noodle stalls to see if their own is delicious?
After storing their things in the grocery store, Fang Yumin and Aunt Chunhua took Ah Qing to the so-called snack street in Nantou County with only the spices on their backs.

The West Market in Nantou County is not as tidy as the East Market. The people who come here to sell or buy things are ordinary people, and their families are not rich. They spend money only if they want to break a copper plate into eight petals. I don’t care too much about what I use, as long as it’s affordable and delicious.

Fang Yumin and the others looked at it for a long time, and finally chose a small food stall that looked okay and had a lot of diners and sat down.Aunt Chunhua and Ah Qing stepped forward to look at the soup and ingredients tumbling on the stove, and then sat down beside Fang Yumin.

"Sister, here is a bowl of wontons, a bowl of meat noodles, and a bowl of plain noodles." There are only a few of these snack stalls. Fang Yumin ordered a bowl of each, and suddenly saw the next table eating a bowl of yellow-yellow noodles that looked like gnocchi. Something, couldn't help asking curiously: "Hey, what is that?"

"It's corn dough, this one is very hungry. Would you like a bowl?" The noodle seller is also bold, too, how can such a delicate person set up a stall outside and let go of her throat?

Fang Yumin glanced at Ah Qing and said, "Okay. Let's have a bowl."

"Little Lian, three bowls are enough." Aunt Chunhua took Fang Yumin's hand and said.

"Ah Qing can eat three bowls by himself, okay, that's it."

"Okay, girl, the four bowls of noodles are worth [-] Wen."

Fang Yumin was speechless, wontons only cost five cents a bowl?

After giving the money, Fang Yumin quietly leaned into Aunt Chunhua's ear and said, "No wonder so many people eat this noodle stall. I didn't expect this wonton to be so cheap. The meat is not cheap!"

Aunt Chunhua smiled and said, "You'll find out soon."

Ah Qing also looked at Fang Yumin and giggled.

The proprietress moved quickly, and all four bowls of noodles were served in a short while.Fang Yumin first shared the wontons and noodles with everyone, leaving the cornbump noodles for the last.

Everyone is really hungry. The scallion pancakes that were eaten at ten o'clock are now more than one o'clock.Fang Yumin picked up a wonton and couldn't wait to open her mouth to swallow it. Aunt Chunhua and Ah Qing even stopped to look at her.

Fang Yumin looked at them strangely, chewing back and forth, her eyes widened, she hardly felt the taste of meat.Quickly picked up a wonton and observed: such a big piece of skin, such a small piece of meat!

Aunt Chunhua and Ah Qing couldn't help laughing when they saw Fang Yumin's appearance. Aunt Chunhua said, "Just this wonton wrapper is made of white flour, and it only costs five yuan, which is enough to pay back the fare. You still want to have bread in it." A big piece of meat? Haha."

Fang Yumin showed a look on Fang Yumin's face that I really thought there was a big piece of meat in it, and Ah Qing couldn't help laughing again, and he said, "That's why, Aunt Xiaolian. We only eat those two kinds of food, and they are delicious. It will definitely sell well."

"Okay, I accept your words!" Fang Yumin put all the wontons in her bowl into Ah Qing's bowl.

Then everyone ate the other three dishes. How should I put it? Compared with the hot and sour noodles and cold noodles, the soup is less clear and tasteless.

Then the three went to try another noodle stall that seemed to have a lot of diners, and the taste was almost the same, even worse than the first one.Fang Yumin, Aunt Chunhua and Ah Qing were even more confident.

After going to the grocery store to pick up things, the three of them walked towards the gathering place on the city wall.Fang Yumin calculated while walking, and said, "Aunt Chunhua, shall we prepare 100 bowls for the first day?"

"Aunt Xiaolian, do you mean hot and sour noodles with the 100 bowls? What about cold noodles?"

"No, it's all together to prepare 100 bowls. The first day is trial operation, um, it's the first day when we open the stall. We mainly do publicity. Let everyone try our pig offal, hot and sour noodles, introduce and promote .If you taste it delicious, you will come to buy it the next day. Those who taste it but can’t buy it, or those who haven’t tasted it at all, will feel itchy and want to eat a bowl, but It just happened to be sold out. People’s psychology is very interesting. The more they can’t eat it and hear how delicious it is, the more they must eat it. This effect is what I want. If the response is good, we will eat it the next day. I just plan to sell more. Tell me, is this good?"

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Aunt Chunhua actually didn't quite understand what Fang Yumin said, but Ah Qing half-understood.They felt that it was not easy to come to the county, and it would still take two hours to do more or less, so they thought it would be more affordable to do more, but what Fang Yumin said made some sense, but they couldn't explain why. In the end, he decided to listen to Fang Yumin in everything.They felt that Fang Yumin knew a lot more than they did.

Back at the meeting place, Fang Yumin and the others' shopping spree naturally aroused everyone's commotion.Uncle Gui even helped Fang Yumin bring back a pair of free pigs.

One pair of pork belly can make about 50 bowls of noodles, and eight pairs is 400 bowls.Wow, the small kitchen needs to be expanded, and at least four large stoves are enough for the stove.

Well, let Qiu Lai build the fire dragon by the way, the spring here is several degrees lower than the south where Fang Yumin used to live, and it will probably be very cold in winter.
