The grand lady who time-traveled became a hot mom

Chapter 40

Fang Yumin asked Lin Qiulai and Aunt Chunhua to sit down in the back room, and then said to them seriously: "At first, I thought that three people would be more than enough to manage our noodle stall, but I didn't expect the business to be so good. Now you, Ah Qing and I are still too busy to work together. Moreover, the round trip is too long and time-consuming. We only borrowed a mule, and we can only bring a cart. When we sell out hot and sour noodles every day, there are still many people who want to eat but can’t eat, I thought, if we can ship more to sell at a time, the utilization rate will increase, and the cost will be lower.”

"Ah?" Lin Qiulai and Aunt Chunhua could still understand the front, but the latter could understand but couldn't understand, and just looked at Fang Yumin with open eyes.

Fang Yumin patted her head annoyedly, and said: "Actually, what I mean is to bring an extra truckload of hot and sour food to sell every day. In this way, our cost will be lower and we will earn more. But if we expand the sales volume , we are severely understaffed. So, I just want to talk to you about what to do next?"

"Okay, Xiaolian, tell me." Aunt Chunhua and Lin Qiulai both looked at Fang Yumin.

"I'm going to ask Uncle Damin and Asheng to help. I've thought about it. It's the slack time for farming. It would be even better if Uncle Damin and Asheng could go with us. After all, they are strong and we can do more. Push a cart to set up a stall. However, because we agreed to share all the proceeds equally between the two, if Uncle Damin and A Sheng also come to help, they can only withdraw every day as we agreed before. cost."

Fang Yumin paused at this point, looked at Aunt Chunhua and said, "10 Wen is Ah Qing's wages, Uncle Damin and Ah Sheng are 20 Wen a day, Aunt Chunhua, do you think this is appropriate? Or, you can go back and talk to Da Min." Uncle Min, should we discuss it? Now we can only take advantage of the slack time to make more money, and when the autumn harvest comes, we won't have time to set up stalls."

"Okay, I'll tell them when I get home." Aunt Chunhua agreed without even thinking about it. What did she think?It made her nervous for a while, after all, Xiao Lian's mother-in-law just came to make a fuss yesterday and asked his uncle and uncle to join in. Just as Xiao Lian said that there were not enough people, she was so scared that her little heart was raised in her throat.

"That's good. I really hope that Uncle Damin and Ah Sheng will join in. How about this, you will build a few more tables and chairs in Qiulai, and Aunt Chunhua will ask Ah Qing to make more wooden bowls and chopsticks. Even if Damin Uncle and Asheng are too busy to be separated. Let's go, we will see if we can hire someone to do a few days of labor, these things will come in handy."

Lin Qiulai and Aunt Chunhua nodded to express their understanding, and Fang Yumin also took the opportunity to announce that she would quit the frontline work: "There is another thing, my Xiaoming is still young, so I won't follow you to set up a stall in the future, just stay at home Dry the sweet potato flour with Xiaohong."

Aunt Chunhua was shocked when she heard this: "Ah? Xiaolian, are you not going? Can we just do it?"

Lin Qiulai also nodded at the side. They have always set up noodle stalls with Fang Yumin as the backbone. Now that Fang Yumin suddenly said that she would not go there in the future, Lin Qiulai and Aunt Chunhua felt a little uneasy. Fang Yumin, it was Fang Yumin who came up with the food tasting event.

Fang Yumin hurriedly encouraged them: "You can do it. I will take you to set up together for another two days. The catering industry, um, the purpose of opening a snack stall is to entertain customers with a smile on your face. They will have a good time eating Come again next time. Also, don’t be stingy, and the portion must be large. It’s not easy for everyone, they just want to eat. We cook delicious and cheap, and if they help, more money will go into our pockets .”

"Okay. Let's remember it all." Lin Qiulai, Aunt Chunhua heard that Fang Yumin would go together tomorrow, and finally let go of her hanging heart.

Fang Yumin smiled, and she said: "Let's leave the work of seasoning to Aunt Chunhua tomorrow, as long as you are proficient in doing it."

"Row."

This matter is here for the time being, and everyone will split up.Aunt Chunhua ran home first to discuss with Lin Damin and A Sheng about joining in the help; Lin Qiulai went to work in her own field with a hoe; Fang Yumin was also busy with housework.

Aunt Chunhua's personality and actions are really hot and fast. Fang Yumin hasn't even finished watering the vegetable garden, she has already brought the whole family over, as well as the delivery staff - Xiao Ming's children's shoes and two puppies.

Fang Yumin put down the gourd ladle and smiled: "Aunt Chunhua, it's so fast."

Aunt Chunhua waved her hand and said, "After we've settled this matter, we'll start working again. Otherwise, I'll keep thinking about it."

"Uncle Damin, Ah Sheng, you all go into the house, and I will tell you more."

"it is good."

Everyone sat around the dining table, Fang Yumin explained the arrangement again, and asked Lin Damin: "Uncle Damin, Ah Sheng, what do you think?"

"Okay. 20 Wen a day is not a lot. Now I go to the county to carry goods, and I can only carry 20-30 Wen a day. Qiu Lai's daughter-in-law, you can count us as father and son. But, this mule has to wait more Go borrow one." Lin Damin agreed.

Ah Sheng smiled honestly, and said, "My family has a scooter, Brother Qiulai doesn't need to do it."

Aunt Chunhua said from the side: "Ah Sheng, you and Ah Qing can make wooden bowls. If we can borrow a mule, we will need a lot of wooden bowls tomorrow."

Fang Yumin asked again: "Is there enough sweet potato flour?"

"Enough!" Lin Damin said: "Last time you told Chunhua to buy more sweet potatoes to make flour, and Ah Sheng and I bought a lot of them and ground them into flour. You can come to my house and have a look, now my sundry room is completely empty. Most of them are sweet potatoes and sweet potato flour."

"Okay, I'll go to your house to have a look." Fang Yumin also smiled and said, "If things go well tomorrow, I'll buy more sweet potatoes. This stuff can be kept for a long time after it's made into powder, and it's also delicious. .”

"Okay." Lin Damin also smiled, the sweet potatoes are so cheap, and they don't choose them, they buy them both big and small, and the price is also lowered.

Fang Yumin suggested: "Uncle Damin and Ah Sheng are also busy, why don't we buy some in the county and ship them back? You don't need to buy too much, just buy a load every day. Wait until June and July when our sweet potatoes are harvested, and when we arrive It will be cheaper in time, let’s buy in large quantities.”

"Okay, that's the decision."

Fang Yumin was the happiest when Lin Damin and Ah Sheng joined.It would be even better if I could rent a shop in Nantou County, without having to travel back and forth.But it's too early to talk about it now, let's talk about saving more money.

It was decided that all the two families would be dispatched. There were a lot of things to do, and everyone was busy again.

People in the village are very interested in Fang Lin Qiulai's hot and sour noodles. Who doesn't want to make money?In the countryside, everyone depends on the weather for food, not to mention tiredness. If the weather is bad and the harvest is not good, even food and clothing will become a problem.

For the very profitable hot and sour noodles made by Fang Xiaolian and Chunhua, they are all kinds of curious, envious and jealous.If he had liked Fang Xiaolian back then, wouldn't they have been able to make a fortune with her like Chunhua's family did?

So, Lin Qiu, who rarely came here and was not in the village, came home. From time to time, villagers walked around outside, looking out to see what they were doing?
Seeing that Lin Damin's family hadn't come out of Lin Qiulai's house for a long time, someone with good intentions quietly ran to inform Zhang Cuihua.They just don't like other people's kindness, so when they have nothing to do, they choose right and wrong to watch dog blood.

But these people's calculations are doomed to fail. Zhang Cuihua's mind is now full of the fact that the seven acres of fertile land have not changed the title deed, and that her youngest son wants to take them back after the autumn harvest.She can neither discuss it with the old man, nor tell the eldest daughter-in-law.I had to be alone in a hurry, and I couldn't sleep well if I couldn't eat well.

Zhang Cuihua was afraid that when Lin Qiu came, she would really go to Lizheng to exchange the land. How would she face her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Hu?And when the time comes, everyone in the village will know, how can she go out to meet people?
In the past, Zhang Cuihua was not afraid of Lin Qiulai's rebellion. This youngest son has always been docile, except for a time when he was stubborn when he married Fang Xiaolian, but she also gained a lot of benefits at that time.But now he has changed, and Fang Xiaolian has also changed, and she doesn't even know her anymore.What's even more frightening is that even the old man in the family has changed. Before, he didn't care about things and let her mess around.But now he hummed and snarled in front of her every now and then, as if she didn't like her. She wanted to yell at first, but when she thought of those two big slaps, Zhang Cuihua felt apprehensive.

Therefore, when those three aunts and six wives quietly came to ask her about Fang Xiaolian's family and Chunhua's family, even though Zhang Cuihua was dying of curiosity and maddened with jealousy, she was screaming in her heart to run over to find out what happened. Thinking of the seven acres of land, he clenched his fists and resolutely refused to go out.

Fang Yumin wanted this effect, as long as Zhang Cuihua didn't come to make trouble, it would be useless for those eight wives in the village to stir up trouble, and it was none of their business.

Cows are very precious in the countryside. Now that the farming is slack, if you want to borrow them, there are some.But Lin Damin didn't dare to borrow it, and he might not be willing to lend it out.In the end, Lin Damin borrowed a little mule from another household in the village for a fee. As soon as the news got out, the village exploded again: borrowing a little mule for 10 cents a day, how much money did Fang Xiaolian and Chunhua make in a day? ?
When all the pork offal and dried beans were stewed in the stove, it was already dark.Aunt Chunhua brought Xiaohong back home, Fang Yumin sat on a chair and stretched her arms and legs to rest, Xiao Ming obediently squeezed her shoulders and beat her back behind her, Lin Qiu came to fetch water by the river.

At this time, Ah Sheng brought a newly made wooden bowl and wooden chopsticks in a basket: "Aunt Xiaolian, we only made these today."

"It's hard work, just put it on the table." Fang Yumin was still sitting on the chair, suddenly remembered something, sat up straight and asked: "Ah Sheng, do you know who will go up the mountain to catch a rabbit with a pheasant recently? I want to raise rabbits, but your brother Qiulai has been very busy and has no time to catch them."

Ah Sheng thought for a while and said, "Xiaoping often goes hunting with his father. His family makes a living from hunting. When I get home, I'll stop by and ask him to take care of catching a pair of breeding rabbits for you."

Fang Yumin was very happy to hear that, and even temporarily forgot about being tired: "That's great, I'm sorry to trouble you, Asheng."

Ah Sheng scratched the back of his head embarrassingly: "No trouble, no trouble, but, Aunt Lianzi, the rabbit has no meat, the skin is thin and not fat, and it tastes like bones, so it can be stewed and drunk. You raise rabbits It’s not for sale, is it? The price is very cheap.”

"Oh?" Fang Yumin's eyes widened: "I haven't seen anyone selling rabbits in the West Market."

"Most of Orion's are sold in restaurants, and ordinary people don't buy them."

"How much is one?"

"3 liters and 4 liters. I bought it in restaurants and used it to make soup."

"That's cheap."

"Aunt Lianzi, do you still want to raise it?"

"Of course I have to raise them. Just ask me, and I'll buy them at the market price. I'll buy as many live rabbits as there are in Xiaoping's family." Fang Yumin grinned happily.

After Ah Sheng left, Xiao Ming asked Fang Yumin: "Mom, do you want to raise rabbits to play with?"

Fang Yumin spread out on the chair again, and the uncle enjoyed Xiao Ming's service generously: "Of course not, it was raised for food."

"..." Xiao Ming's paws suddenly stopped moving. He glanced at Xiaobai and Xiaohei who were sitting not far away, and asked cautiously, "Then Xiaobai and Xiaohei, you raised them to eat, didn't you?"

"No, no, Xiaobai and Xiaohei are going to help us watch the door, and they are all your good friends, how can we stew them and eat them?"

"Oh, that's good."

"If they are lazy and let people in who shouldn't come in, I will still stew them to eat."

"No, no, I will train them more." Xiao Ming waved his hands hurriedly.

"Then this important task will be entrusted to you."

"Mother, don't worry." Xiao Ming tried harder to kill Fang Yumin.

When Fang Yumin thought of spicy rabbits, braised rabbits, and stewed rabbits in the future, he would be all kinds of happy, salivating, and couldn't help laughing at the two puppies, which shocked Xiao Ming, and hurried over to Xiaobai and Xiaoming. Heidu rushed to the house.The way my mother looked at the puppy was terrifying.
