The grand lady who time-traveled became a hot mom

Chapter 62

Although Xiaoyang and Xiaoming were very hungry, Fang Yumin taught that no matter what, when there are guests and outsiders, meal etiquette must be followed.Therefore, the two children dined in a leisurely, generous and elegant manner.It didn't look like a farm kid of a certain age, and the shopkeeper Zhang couldn't help but secretly marveled at it.

Do the Chinese really want to discuss business at the dinner table?I saw that the shopkeeper Zhang first dealt with Fang Yumin politely, and he would prepare the four treasures of the study without eating two bites.Fang Yumin hurriedly picked up half a bowl of rice to pad his stomach.

"Miss Lin, how much money are you going to sell for this braised rabbit meat recipe?" Shopkeeper Zhang stroked his beard and asked with a smile.

Fang Yumin took a sip of tea, smiled softly, and said, "Not much, the price is the same as hot and sour noodles: 100 taels of silver."

"Oh? If you provide Q fans to Changji, do you also supply rabbits to us?" Zhang Zhang asked with a smile.

Fang Yumin looked at Shopkeeper Zhang with a smile, and said, "Shopkeeper Zhang is really a man with many faces. Although you can find the source of rabbits yourself, you don't have to use ours. However, the rabbits I raise are fat and tender, and I choose three to four. It would be best if the adult rabbits of the month come to braise in soy sauce. If Zhuji decides to buy this recipe of braised rabbit meat, one of the conditions is to sign a one-year rabbit purchase and sales contract with us. After one year, if you Zhuji don’t want to buy from us It doesn't matter if you buy it."

"The lady of the Lin family is really good at doing business. Please tell me about the terms of this contract."

"There are no terms, but Zhuji has to promise to buy 50 rabbits from us every month. Our price for each rabbit is 4 yuan a catty." Fang Yumin said while signaling Lin Qiulai to take the contract drawn up last night. Come out and show shopkeeper Zhang.

"4 renminbi a catty is too expensive, and Orion only sold it to us for 3 renminbi a catty." Shopkeeper Zhang said with a frown.

"How can wild ones compare with domestic ones?" Fang Yumin lobbied, "Wild rabbits have almost no fat at all, and when the season is not right, they are almost skinny. These are best used for stewing soup. Domestic rabbits Because it is raised in captivity, there is less exercise, and it is served with delicious food and drink, so it naturally grows fat, so it will be so fat and tender when it is braised in soy sauce!"

Fang Yumin took a sip of tea and continued: "Besides, the hunters went to the mountain to dig a trap and caught the rabbit. It didn't cost a dime, right? But the rabbit would fall into the trap every day? If this Caihong How do you guarantee the origin of the rabbits?"

"The lady of the Lin family is really good at talking." Shopkeeper Zhang said with a smile.

"I'm just telling the truth. I brought ten rabbits here today. I just roasted two in soy sauce, and there are eight more. If you agree, these eight will be given to your bamboo book, and I will tell the guests about your bamboo. Ji will launch a new dish, how about trying to see how everyone responds? If yes, we will send rabbits tomorrow."

Shopkeeper Zhang stroked his beard and pondered for a while, then said, "Okay. I bought the recipe and contract for braised rabbit meat from you personally, but after signing, you can no longer sell it to others."

"Naturally, shopkeeper Zhang, please don't worry." Fang Yumin couldn't help but look at this shopkeeper Zhang differently.

The two reached an agreement and quickly signed the contract and confirmed it with their fingerprints.Shopkeeper Zhang handed over the 100 taels of silver notes to Fang Yumin, and Fang Yumin also handed over the recipe to Zhang.

"It's still lunch time, Mrs. Lin, let's have some more braised rabbit meat."

"No problem." Fang Yumin said with a smile, "There are some spices in it that you probably don't know what they are. How about this, I'm cooking here, and you send a smart person to follow my husband to the market to buy spices, so you can identify them. In the future It’s up to you to buy it yourself.”

"Okay, Ah Liang, you follow, and you must remember it well."

"Don't be nervous, we will come back tomorrow. If you really forget, you can come to Linjiacun to find us at any time, but it is quite far from here to Linjiacun." Fang Yumin said with a smile, now that the money is in hand, she is smiling very brilliant.Coupled with the fact that her husband and two sons looked at him with admiration, he was even happier.

"Okay, okay, that's the decision." Shopkeeper Zhang said with a smile.

It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon after Fang Yumin taught the cooking methods and spices to Chef Li appointed by shopkeeper Zhang.Lin Qiulai had already taken the two children for a stroll, and now Xiaoyang and Xiaoming were sitting in the restaurant with a bunch of candied haws, waiting for their mother to come home.

Fang Yumin was very happy, because the guests of Zhuji Restaurant responded enthusiastically to the dish of braised rabbit meat.Under Fang Yumin's suggestion, shopkeeper Zhang gave guests four pots of braised rabbit meat for free, and those who were not satisfied after eating a piece or two said they would eat it tomorrow.Once shopkeeper Zhang was happy, he asked Fang Yumin to sell all the three or four-month-old rabbits in the family to Zhuji.

When Lin Qiu came to buy spices with Zhuji, he also bought a lot of spares, and went to the grocery store to buy seasonings such as oil, salt, vinegar, wine, etc., and even bought some pork belly, pork bones, and pork.As long as Fang Yumin is fine, he can leave for home at any time.

"Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang, have you been waiting for a long time? Let's go home." Fang Yumin happily walked up to Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang, patted their heads and said with a smile.

"Okay, mother, father, let's go home." Xiao Ming jumped off the chair, walked up to Fang Yumin and said.

Back to Linjia Village, the sky is already full of sunset clouds.Fang Yumin hurried to cook, Xiaoyang and Xiaoming went to feed the chickens and rabbits very sensiblely, Lin Qiulai also went to the field with a hoe to look at the crops.

After dinner, Fang Yumin asked Xiao Yang and Xiao Ming to go back to their room to study, and she and Lin Qiulai separated the rabbits to be sold tomorrow.

Fang Yumin suddenly remembered that Lin Qiulai said with a lonely expression that his family was like a stranger to him now.A flash of impulse flashed in my heart, wanting Zhang Cuihua to raise rabbits too.But the words still didn't come out.It's not a technical job to raise rabbits. After one year, Fang Yumin doesn't know if she can renew her contract with Zhuji.Forget it, let's talk about it later, for now, it's more important to take care of your own little family.

Early the next morning, after Xiaoyang and Xiaoming went to school, Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin sent nearly a hundred rabbits to Zhuji, earning one tael and more than 400 coins.

Fang Yumin was still instructing the cooking in Zhuji's kitchen. Lin Qiulai went to the market to buy some lime and oilcloth, and also bought a few handy farm tools for the autumn harvest.

On the way home, Fang Yumin was a little worried about what would happen to the seven acres of land at home?So I discussed with Lin Qiulai: "There are only two adults in our family, and I am useless for farm work. How about this, we ask two small workers to help harvest the rice and corn. As for those soybeans Potatoes were planted late, so they haven’t arrived yet, and when everyone is free, they are probably going to be harvested again, so it’s good to ask the villagers to help harvest them. But it’s busy farming season, can we hire small workers?”

"Then you have to prepare early, and it shouldn't be difficult to tell people a good day." Lin Qiu said, but he had a face of disapproval: "However, I harvested by myself in the past, so why pay for a small worker? "

"Harvest early and do other things earlier. You still have to make ash clams yourself. It's decided like this." Fang Yumin thought of the pile of clams, and estimated that building a fence would be enough.

Lin Qiulai turned his head and smiled at Fang Yumin: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"The four pigs at home are really fat. Xiaoyang takes good care of them. I don't think I can sell them before the New Year." Fang Yumin really didn't expect that such a cute piglet would grow up It has to be that virtue.But aren't all pigs fat?
Lin Qiulai also smiled, showing his white teeth: "Yes, you have saved a lot of food for them to spend the winter. Why don't you catch two piglets now?"

"Are you busy?" Fang Yumin asked hesitantly.

"Okay. I hired someone to do all the work in the field, so I can't be too busy just raising pigs and rabbits? It's decided like this. I'll buy two piglets tomorrow."

"Okay, it's just that Xiaoyang has to take care of it again. The pigsty is too smelly, and I feel disgusting when I smell it there." Fang Yumin said disgustedly.

"Disgusting? Xiao Min, don't you have it?" Lin Qiulai turned around in surprise and asked.

"There's your head! When I was an aunt, I smelled it and it made me sick. Is there a baby at the same time as an aunt?" Fang Yumin poked Lin Qiulai's chest and said, then looked up at him seriously and asked: "You Do you really want a child that much? What are you going to do if I never get pregnant?"

Lin Qiulai became anxious when he heard that, and hurriedly explained: "That's not the case, Xiao Min, don't think about it. I am satisfied with Xiaoming and one son, but I think it will be happier if he has some brothers and sisters. There will also be a care in the future. But now he already has a big brother Xiaoyang. In fact, it is my fault. If you can confine yourself to the confinement, it will not be like this. After the autumn harvest, we will go to the doctor to give Take care of your body. Otherwise, in winter, your hands and feet will be cold and uncomfortable."

Fang Yumin nodded and didn't say anything. In fact, she didn't want to conceive a child that much.In the ancient times when medical treatment was backward, giving birth to a child could kill two people.When she thought of not being able to give birth by caesarean section, when she thought about not being able to get birth control injections, and when she thought about not being able to get blood transfusions for rescue, she felt terrified.What's more, to give birth here is not to ask for a doctor, but for a steady wife.It's a stable woman, the chance of death of the child has increased a lot.

The two talked for a while about the busy farming, digging the foundation, and building the house, and before they knew it, they returned to Linjiacun.

Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang had already finished school, they had already made rice and sat in the room studying while waiting for Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin to come home and have lunch together.
