The grand lady who time-traveled became a hot mom

Chapter 61

The family suddenly lost three children, and Lin Qiulai's family was not used to it.For many consecutive days, Lin Qiulai walked into the next room every day and saw two or three empty beds, and would be in a daze for a while; Fang Yumin habitually cooked breakfast for seven people every morning; When I went out to go to school, I would call a few times before realizing that they were no longer there, and it was just the two of them going to school...

But life still had to go on. After more than a week, Lin Qiulai's family finally got used to it.

"Autumn is coming, there are nearly 100 adult rabbits in the family, and several litters of baby rabbits have come out. Tomorrow, you and I will go to Nantou County to find a restaurant to sell." Fang Yumin said, looking at the lively rabbits in the rabbit shed.

"Okay. How do you plan to sell it?" Lin Qiulai asked.

"First sell a recipe of braised rabbit meat to the restaurant. One of the conditions is that the restaurant has to sign a contract with us to buy at least 50 rabbits from us every month."

"50? After this batch of rabbits is sold, will they be able to raise them in a month?" Lin Qiulai asked worriedly.

"Don't worry. You see, there are more than 30 rabbits that have grown for more than two months over there, and more than 40 rabbits that have grown for more than a month. Rabbits that are more than three months old are the best, tender. Now it happens to be rabbits again During the breeding season, it will definitely work." Fang Yumin said confidently.

"Okay, what do you want to prepare?" Lin Qiulai smiled.

"There is nothing to prepare. It's just that I can't prepare the rabbit meat and take it to the restaurant in hot weather. I'm afraid it will taste bad before it arrives. Take Xiaoyang with you, I don't dare to kill rabbits."

"Then what should he do when he goes to school tomorrow?" Lin Qiulai asked.

"I can only ask for one day off. We are going to discuss cooperation with the restaurant this time. It is not good to let the people in the kitchen help butcher it. It is best to do it yourself. Or, take Xiaoming with you? Let It's good for the two children to see the scene."

"Okay, how many rabbits are suitable for catching?"

"Ten. You pack them in two cages."

"Okay." Lin Qiulai nodded, "Then I'll go to the corn field. Xiao Min, you still have a way. Our corn grows really well. Although the quantity is small, it's big."

Fang Yumin lifted her chin triumphantly: "That's right, remember to break some corn and cook it."

"Got it. Then I'll go."

"Well, remember to bring mint tea."

After Lin Qiu came and left, Fang Yumin started drying winter melons again.Winter melon is harvested in this season, and it is very sweet to drink when dried in the sun. It is also good to be used as hot pot soup in winter.

After drying the winter melons, Fang Yumin picked up her needle and thread and began to sew autumn clothes.This is the only time I'm free, and in a month's time it will be the autumn harvest period, when that time comes, let alone making clothes, I may not even have time to cook.But her female celebrity is really not good. Even if she has Fang Xiaolian's memory, she can only do it well.

Old cotton quilts loosened with sticks were drying on the bamboo poles in the yard. Fang Yumin planned to buy cotton and make three more beds when he came back.Some felt that the cotton had been pressed too hard, so Fang Yumin disassembled them to make boots and gloves.

The winter here is also very cold, and it snows.There is no need to think about heating, Fang Yumin is really afraid of being poisoned by burning charcoal, now she really doesn't know how to keep warm?I asked Lin Qiulai, and he said that if the family has money, it will burn charcoal for heating, and if the family has no money, it will burn firewood.

Seeing that it was almost time, Fang Yumin put down her needle and thread and prepared lunch.Sure enough, Lin Qiulai picked more than a dozen corn cobs, some of which were still green and smelled very sweet.Fang Yumin washed it with water and bit it directly. The green and yellowed corn just wanted to be eaten fresh.It is really tender and sweet.When Lin Qiu came to see Fang Yumin eating happily, he couldn't help but also ate one.

Wash the four corns, peel them and cook them with rice, and put the other four corns in the big bone soup and stew them with carrots.After the children come back, if they want to eat, they will go to the field and break a few and come back.

As usual, Xiao Yang and Xiao Ming came back with two bundles of tender grass on their backs. During the meal, Xiao Ming said, "Mother, I didn't see Brother Xiao Zhu today. Brother Da Bao and Brother Xiao Bao said that he would help the family with work, and he was not free."

"Well. Every family has a difficult scripture to recite. You should study it carefully. In the future, if brother Xiao Zhu wants to learn it, you can teach him." Fang Yumin had expected that this would be the case. The boys in the farm family grew up to be eight or nine years old. It's already a labor force.

"Mother, brother Xiaoyang and I have been studying hard all the time." Xiao Ming stopped his chopsticks and looked at Fang Yumin and said bluntly.

"Mother knows, mother knows. By the way, mother has something to ask Xiaoyang for help." Fang Yumin said, looking at Xiaoyang with a smile.

"What is it?" Xiaoyang also looked at Fang Yumin and asked.

"Tomorrow mother is going to sell rabbits in the county, but mother doesn't dare to slaughter them, so she has to take Xiaoyang with her. So neither of you can go to school tomorrow." Fang Yumin said, "What's more, tomorrow mother and father will go to the restaurant When negotiating, you have to study hard on the sidelines, don't panic, and be generous, understand?"

"Yes, I understand."

"That's good. You can do what you have to do after dinner."

"Yes."

Lin Qiulai looked at them with a smile while eating, wishing to have more children in the family.She couldn't help turning her head to look at Fang Yumin, she had to find a time to take Xiao Min to see a doctor, even if she couldn't give birth, she had to take good care of her body.Otherwise, in winter, my hands and feet will be cold and I will not be able to sleep well.That day was hard.

After lunch, Lin Qiu came to pick up the sand, and Ah Sheng also came to help.A lot of strong logs have been piled up in that field, and the foundation is just waiting to start digging after the autumn harvest.

Early the next morning, Fang Yumin prepared the spices and ingredients, and cooked more than a dozen corn cobs and sweet potatoes as dry food.Lin Qiulai also packed two cages of rabbits, and took Xiaoyang and Xiaoming to Nantou County in a bullock cart.

As soon as Fang Yumin arrived in Nantou County, she went directly to Zhuji Restaurant.She planned to go to the shopkeeper Jin of the restaurant where the fish was sold last time if she couldn't reach an agreement here.

"Qiulai, you and Xiaoyang Xiaoming are waiting for me here. I'll go in and have a look, and I'll come out to find you later." Fang Yumin asked Lin Qiulai to wait for her in the alley outside Zhuji Gate.

"Okay, be careful." Lin Qiulai was confident in Fang Yumin, but still instructed.

"Well. I'll go in then."

Fang Yumin walked into the Zhuji restaurant, and was about to ask the oncoming Xiao Er to see the big shopkeeper, but saw a middle-aged man who looked like the shopkeeper came over and smiled at her: "Is it the lady of the Lin family?"

Fang Yumin was taken aback, nodded and smiled without thinking about it, and said, "Yes, you are the big shopkeeper of Zhuji."

The man smiled: "Well, my surname is Zhang."

Fang Yumin hurriedly shouted: "Hello, shopkeeper Zhang."

Shopkeeper Zhang asked with a smile: "I don't know if the lady of the Lin family has any secret recipes to sell to Zhuji?"

Fang Yumin was taken aback, blinked and asked directly: "How does shopkeeper Zhang know? Could it be that shopkeeper Zhang knows divination?"

Shopkeeper Zhang stroked his beard and smiled, and said, "Your secret recipe of hot and sour noodles was sold to Changji. Changji's business is booming, and we at Zhuji can't keep up with it. Now seeing the lady of the Lin family coming in empty-handed, full of ambition, I guessed it." Do you have a secret recipe to sell to us?"

"Shopkeeper Zhang really has a good eye!" Fang Yu sighed sensitively: "I really have a recipe that I want to sell to Zhuji. When I sold hot and sour noodles to Changji, I just thought that the taste of the noodles was too strong, and it was not the same as your store. The sweet soup base didn't go well with it, so I didn't come to ask."

"It's okay, let's talk, this way please." Shopkeeper Zhang stretched out his hand to the side, wanting to lead the way.

Fang Yumin hurriedly stopped her and said, "Master Zhang, we farmers always speak with facts. I'm not good at eloquence, and I can't tell you anything. Today I want to sell you a recipe for braised rabbit meat, rabbit and ingredients. I have already brought it. The rabbit I chose is three to four months old, fat and tender, and I want to make a pot for you to taste. If you think it is good, I will sell it to you for 100 taels."

Shopkeeper Zhang smiled and said, "Sure enough, I came prepared. Then I will invite you from the kitchen."

"Okay, my husband is outside, I'll tell them to come in." Fang Yumin also smiled, she didn't expect things to go so smoothly.Maybe the hot and sour noodles are selling too well? !

Fang Yumin and Xiao Ming didn't enter the kitchen when the rabbits were slaughtered, and Fang Yumin brought the spices in after the two fat rabbits were slaughtered.

As before, the spices are prepared and mixed together, and the amount and ingredients are unpredictable for those who want to steal.The shopkeeper Zhang and Zhuji's chef were all watching. Fang Yumin didn't save oil like he did at home, because the rabbit meat had almost no fat, and Fang Yumin even overcooked the oil.

I don't know what Fang Yumin put in, the pot of braised rabbit meat was so fragrant that the shopkeeper Zhang, the chef and even the people in the kitchen were salivating.In this sweltering weather, everyone loses their appetite, but the braised rabbit meat made by Fang Yumin easily arouses everyone's appetite.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Fang Yumin calmed down.

The rabbit is tender, and it doesn't take long to cook it.Fang Yumin opened the lid of the casserole, sprinkled a handful of coriander to garnish, and it was ready to serve.

Fang Yumin greeted: "Come on, Shopkeeper Zhang, come and try the taste."

"Okay, Chef Li, you can try it too."

The two picked up a piece of red rabbit meat with a fragrant sauce with chopsticks, and put it into their mouths regardless of the heat.Fang Yumin's eyes lit up when he ate, seeing their expressions, he knew that they were very satisfied. It seemed that they could go home early today.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Fang Yumin asked with a smile.

"It's delicious, I don't know what these powders are from Mrs. Lin's?" Chef Li was very curious about the brown powder.

"That's the secret recipe, you can't say it." Fang Yumin smiled mysteriously.

Shopkeeper Zhang ate another piece of rabbit meat, and Fang Yumin said, "Miss Lin, please come into the box to talk."

"Okay." Fang Yumin nodded, and was about to walk out of the kitchen following shopkeeper Zhang.But I heard shopkeeper Zhang turn around and order Xiaoer: "Bring the braised rabbit meat, serve with some side dishes and rice."

"Yes."

Fang Yumin brought Lin Qiulai to sit down in the box with Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang.Shopkeeper Zhang also sat down, and waited for Xiao Er to arrange all the dishes before saying, "Come, let's talk while eating."
