The grand lady who time-traveled became a hot mom

Chapter 99

The children settled down, and the two little ones, Xiao Ri and Xiao Xing, helped with light housework, feeding chickens and rabbits, etc.; the other three boys followed Lin Qiu to do some heavy work, and followed Xiao Hua Learning by doing in the sauce garden; the two girls, Xiaoyue and Xiaoyu, followed Xiaohong to learn female red knitting, and they did all the sewing and mending at home.

At the beginning, the children were a little timid, and their words and deeds were very cautious, but after spending a few days with Lin Qiulai's family, they slowly let go.These children did not expect that they would dress so well when they sold to the Lin family, eat so much delicious food, and live in a room with big quilts and warm, which is many times better than before, so they started to work Also do your best to do your best.

Lin Qiulai suddenly had seven more children at home, and gossip appeared again.From time to time, there were people walking around near my house, pointing at the children, and even some three aunts and six wives asked Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang, who were temporarily living in Linjia Village, to ask questions.

Fang Yumin stroked her forehead helplessly. Although life in this rural area is good, there are too many things, and there are almost no secrets at all.

Lin Qiulai comforted her and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Min, we will move to Nantou County after the Chinese New Year, and they can say whatever they like."

"Still here to celebrate the New Year?" Fang Yumin whispered: "When the New Year's Eve is over, we will have a family reunion dinner at my elder brother's house, and your mother will definitely not allow us to bring these children there. Otherwise, let's celebrate the New Year in the Confucian Garden ?”

"This, isn't this good?" Lin Qiulai was very embarrassed. The New Year is a big event, and the ancestors of the Lin family have to be worshipped.

Fang Yumin seemed to have thought of this too, and the room fell silent for a while, looking at each other without speaking.

"Or else," Lin Qiu said, "there's nothing to do at home. You take Xiao Ming, Xiao Yang, and Xiao Yue and Xiao Yu back to the Confucian Garden to live, and the rest of us will stay here. Wait until the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Are you coming back?"

"Ah? Doesn't this require us to live apart?" Fang Yumin was unwilling.

Lin Qiulai was puzzled: "Separate the two places?"

Fang Yumin nodded seriously: "Yes, you live here and I live there. Isn't this separating us? What if your mother introduces another girl to you and I'm not here, what should you do if your heart softens for a while? ?”

"Then what do you say? We all listen to you." Lin Qiulai looked at Fang Yumin with a wry smile, and said that such a thing would never happen again. Why does she keep bringing this up?
Fang Yumin was also helpless, she raised her eyelids to look at Lin Qiulai, and said weakly: "What can we do? Let's eat cold salad. Let's move after the new year. By the way, your mother hasn't come to trouble us for a long time "Speaking of Zhang Cuihua, Fang Yumin suddenly found out that Mrs. Zhang hasn't come to her door after so long, which is too strange!

"Is this not good? Or do you want to fight her again?" Lin Qiulai was speechless, "Okay, I'll go and see if the charcoal is ready. It's cold outside, so don't go out."

"Okay, take Xiaofeng with you." Fang Yumin picked up the cotton vest and put it on Lin Qiulai, and said: "Our family will use a lot of charcoal in the future, so you can tell everyone that if they come out with more charcoal Sell ​​it to us at market price."

"okay."

Lin Qiulai put on his hat and gloves, hugged Fang Yumin and went out.

Fang Yumin was half lying on the bed in a daze. Since there were seven more children in the family, she didn't need to touch the housework. Every day, she just thought about what to eat?Then I went to the kitchen to direct the children to wash, season and even cook.The dishes in winter are stewed, boiled, and stewed. As long as the ingredients are fresh and the flavors are well-packed, a pot of delicious food will be cooked slowly and carefully.

All kinds of spices are very dry under the autumn wind, this kind of weather is most suitable for making various seasonings.Thanks to last year's experience, all the materials and spices are well prepared this year.Fang Yumin was not in a hurry, she worked slowly and meticulously, and she brought Xiaochen and Xiaolu by her side to help and study.The girl Fang Yumin is not going to teach them anymore. In Fang Yumin's heart, Xiaoyue and Xiaoyu will marry after all, and when they get married, they will obey the three obediences and four virtues. At that time, these production methods are likely to be leaked out.

The room was very warm, and Fang Yumin felt a little drowsy just thinking about it.Before falling asleep, she was still thinking about what Zhang Cuihua was doing?Why didn't you come over to trouble her?
Zhang Cuihua is bored and angry at home these days.She couldn't wait to come to Fang Yumin's house to make a theory.But in terms of eloquence, Zhang Cuihua is not as good as Fang Yumin, and every time she goes home because of her defeat.Last time, she just wanted to persuade Fang Yumin to let Lin Qiulai take a concubine to have children, but Fang Yumin brought back seven children in one go. This, this... Just this matter, Lin Qiulai annoyed her, Lin Daniu taught her a lesson He offended her, and also offended Miss Liu Biao and Xiao Ju.Now she has mixed feelings in her heart. She wants to show off her mother-in-law's authority, but she also knows that Fang Yumin won't buy it.After many defeats, the matter of Lin Qiu's coming home has already deviated from the track she knew, and Zhang Cuihua is also a little disheartened.

Besides, seeing that the third son Lin Qiulai became rich, and the second son Lin Xialai's family got close to Fang Yumin, they even built a new house in just one year.Now the family not only raises rabbits, but Xiaohua is also working with Fang Yumin in that soy sauce garden, which is probably a profitable job.Thinking of this, Zhang Cuihua felt like grass had grown in her heart.She also hoped that Fang Yumin would help her eldest son, Lin Chunlai, but they had always been incompatible, so how could they speak up?Repairing the relationship does not happen overnight, so this time Zhang Cuihua made up her mind to lock herself at home.

The days are going on without a hurry, this winter is very cold, Lin Qiu comes to the house to eat hot pot almost every day.Oftentimes, Fang Yumin invites Xiaohua's family to come over to eat together, and it is happiest to eat hot pot with more people.Every time the good villagers passed Lin Qiu to come home, they could hear the happy laughter coming from inside, and they felt envious and jealous in their hearts.

After all the jars of soy sauce were sealed, Fang Yumin asked the children to paste the red paper "Fang Ji Soy Sauce" written by Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang on it.Then move it to the room and store it.

The hot and spicy sauce, Zhuhou sauce, garlic bean sauce and hawthorn sweet and sour sauce prepared during this period were also labeled and put away by category.

"Qiu Lai, send these sauces to Zhuji and Jin shopkeepers tomorrow. Here is the price list, show them. If you think these sauces taste good, you can pick them up at our house." Fang Yumin handed over a stack of papers Give it to Lin Qiulai, and say, "Tell the shopkeeper Jin that this price is for Zhuji. We don't have the same friendship with him. If you sell it to his restaurant, you will get a [-]% discount."

"Understood." Lin Qiulai looked at Fang Yumin with a smile and said, "Actually, we can talk to Shopkeeper Jin after he comes over."

Fang Yumin shook her head and said, "We still have to pay this price for the open transaction, and we can't let others see it. It would be better for us to give the discounted money to Treasurer Jin privately."

Lin Qiulai had an epiphany: "It's still the lady who is thoughtful."

Fang Yumin smiled at Lin Qiulai, thought for a while and said: "You take Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang, and let them see the world. Pen, ink, paper, and red paper are waiting for you to buy some. This year, let them both Let’s write a couplet, don’t bother Lizheng.”

"Okay, their handwriting is pretty good too." Lin Qiulai was also very happy.

"Also, find a way to buy a few piglets back." Fang Yumin thought of the roast suckling pig, and hurriedly instructed Lin Qiulai.

This dish of roast suckling pig has already become a famous dish in Nantou County, and those who want to eat it have to make a reservation.The market in the county basically does not supply piglets. Those who want to raise pigs all order from sow farmers in their own villages. It is still a bit difficult to really want to buy.Now that the roast suckling pig is famous, there are butchers who specialize in buying and selling it, collecting it and selling it to these two restaurants, so the supply of the piglet is even less.

Fang Yumin just wanted to give a roast suckling pig to the old fox Li Zhenglin Zhuxin.Lin Qiulai only sold sweet potato flour outside in the spring, and did not do any follow-up work, but Lin Zhuxin sent money over according to the conditions negotiated at the beginning.Although not many, Lin Qiulai didn't do much work after graduation. Fang Yumin had some feelings for Lin Zhuxin.

The ledger that Lin Zhuxin showed to Fang Yumin was a very orthodox ledger here, with numbers all in uppercase.Headache!Fang Yumin thought for a while, then replaced the uppercase numbers with Arabic numerals, and drew a copy according to the modern ledger format, ready to hand it over to Lin Zhuxin.Judging by his appearance, he probably wants to promote it to the whole country, right?

This time her family bought seven children, and Lin Zhuxin didn't say anything.Fang Yumin remembered that when Xiao Yang first came to her house last year, Lin Qiu said that Lin Zhuxin was very close to the county magistrate, and she had even flirted with them.Now that her family is going to open a restaurant, Fang Yumin suddenly remembered this relationship.

Well, Fang Yumin admits that she is vulgar.This practice of being able to cover oneself with acquaintances in the government is very common in modern times. Although I don't know how much it can help, it is still necessary to please first and give some benefits.

Lin Qiulai took Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang to Nantou County, and Fang Yumin continued to train the children at home.In addition to food that is delicious in color, fragrance, and taste, a restaurant also needs to have spring-like service.

The building outside the building has been renovated, and it can start business after the Lantern Festival.The curtains, tablecloths, and uniform aprons for the waiters in the store have all been completed.Now Fang Yumin not only teaches the children some basic etiquette, but also teaches them to read and write. At least ten Arabic numerals must be learned, and the names of dishes must also be recognized.There are also Xiaohua and Taohua in this group of children, and they are all serious about their studies.

Greeting people with a smiling face is the best way to win the favor of others. Fang Yumin suggested that children start learning from the side, smile to the people around them, be polite to the people around them, speak tactfully, and get used to it naturally, and then they will be able to do it naturally.

Fang Yumin carefully explained how to distribute leaflets, how to introduce the dishes in the store, how to place an order, how to pass it to the kitchen, how to serve food, how to wipe the table, etc., and even conducted a simulation practice at home.

The whole family had a great time, not only fun but also delicious food.Because Fang Yumin's provisional menu was made one by one for everyone to taste, and the two oldest boys, Xiaofeng and Xiaolu, also followed Fang Yumin into the kitchen as apprentices to learn how to cook these dishes.

"The secret of our cooking lies in the seasoning and sauce." Fang Yumin said while watching the two disciples cooking, "What you need to master is the order and timing of the flavors, and the last is the heat. It's too early to taste , it will dissipate after a long time, so you must have a timetable in mind.”

"Yes!"

"We don't have a specific menu. You should pay more attention to it and learn how to make good use of various ingredients to make fresh and delicious food." Fang Yumin knows that her cooking is better than her own experience. In fact, what she cooks is home cooking.If the positioning is novel and homely, then innovative dishes are very important.

"Yes!"

At this time, Aunt Chunhua's loud voice came from outside the door: "Xiao Lian? Xiao Lian, are you at home?"

"Yes, here we come." Fang Yumin roared loudly.I don't know why, every time she talks to Aunt Chunhua, she unknowingly raises the volume, as if they are talking in a competition, whose voice is louder?

Welcoming Aunt Chunhua into the living room, Xiaoyue served hot tea, and then withdrew.Xiaori and the others were still practicing in the kitchen, so she waited outside the door.

Fang Yumin looked at the happy Aunt Chunhua and joked, "Look at your happy face, are you going to marry your daughter-in-law?"

When Aunt Chunhua heard this, she laughed and clapped her hands and said, "Hey, you really hit the spot!"

"Really?" Fang Yumin said pleasantly, "Congratulations! That's great, you've been looking forward to it for a long time."

Aunt Chunhua laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth. She took out a piece of paper from her pocket, and Fang Yumin said, "I didn't come here today to talk about this. Look at this."

Fang Yumin took it with a puzzled expression, opened it and asked, "What is so mysterious?"

Aunt Chunhua leaned over her head and lowered her voice to Fang Yumin: "It's the secret recipe for having children. I found it after a lot of trouble. They told me, Ling!"

Fang Yumin's forehead was full of black lines, and he shook out the neatly folded paper to have a look.have to!It is a prescription for nourishing blood and nourishing yin.Fang Yumin also moved her head and said to Aunt Chunhua mysteriously in a low voice, "I already have it."

"Ah?" Aunt Chunhua was surprised, then overjoyed: "Really? How many months?"

Fang Yumin said slowly: "I mean, I have this prescription, but my stomach hasn't moved yet."

Aunt Chunhua frowned, and looked Fang Yumin up and down: "You look very good. It's been a year since the treatment, why haven't you moved yet? I'm so anxious!"

"Qiu Lai and I are in no hurry."

"Hey, Xiao Ming is the only child in your family. In the future, you will suffer if you don't have brothers and sisters to help you." Aunt Chunhua pulled Fang Yumin and said, "I've heard it all. You have brought Xiaohua with you now."

Fang Yumin blinked: "Xiaohua is my nephew, what's wrong with me taking him by my side? I don't understand!"

Aunt Chunhua leaned over again and said softly, "Your home is a bit far from the village, and you don't know that you often go to the village. Now it's spread in the village, saying that you want to please Xia Lai for the sake of helping Xiaoming in the future." One family. Not only did they spend money to build a house for them, but they often brought Xiaohua with them. Now they bought so many children and came back, saying that you want them to give you a 'tape'."

Fang Yumin's mouth widened when he heard this. The villagers in Linjia Village had so much imagination that it was unimaginable.She really admires how such incongruous things can be connected into a story.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of hot tea, Fang Yumin looked at Aunt Chunhua and asked, "Do you believe it?"

Aunt Chunhua laughed: "Believe it or not, it won't affect you, right? I just got the prescription, so I'll come over to talk to you."

Fang Yumin stroked her forehead, she really couldn't live here anymore.Who knows what else the villagers will say?
Thinking of this, Fang Yumin leaned over again and asked, "I also miss August [-], what other rumors have you heard?"

Aunt Chunhua looked at Fang Yumin and said, "Your mother-in-law wants to repair the relationship with you, and wants you to help Chunlai. But she doesn't know what to do, so she went to your aunt for advice. Has she come to you?"

"No, I've never been to the door." Fang Yumin was extremely surprised, Zhang Cuihua actually wanted to reconcile with her?
"Remember to tell me what she said then?"

"Okay!" Fang Yumin readily agreed, she also wanted to know what Zhang Cuihua would tell her?Really been waiting!
