Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 416 The Difficult Matter Is Coming

My sister-in-law Meng Xiuer put on her big cotton-padded jacket and went to the kitchen to find my aunt and grandmother.

......

In the kitchen.

My aunt and grandmother were just about to lie down to sleep when Meng Xiuer suddenly came to the kitchen, surprising them.

The aunt looked up and asked, "Xiu'er, it's so late, what are you doing out here?"

Meng Xiuer said with a smile: "Mom, Grandma, Yueyue agreed to let you move in with us."

"Really?" My aunt sat up excitedly.

Meng Xiuer nodded and said with a smile, "Really? The earthen kang bed made by Yueyue is wide, big and warm."

"Yes, yes, as soon as I walked into that room, I felt like it was spring or autumn." The aunt rubbed her hands excitedly.

"From this, we can see that Yueyue still cares about her grandmother and mother."

Grandma lay on the floor without saying a word, lost in thought.

"Mom, get up quickly, let's move to that room and sleep! I don't want to stay on this floor bed for even a moment longer."

Grandmother Zhou asked Meng Xiuer with a serious face: "Did she say anything else?"

Meng Xiuer scratched her head and recalled: "They said you could move over there and help take care of Xiaobao occasionally."

After Meng Xiuer finished speaking, she smiled and continued, "Grandma, mother, since Yueyue said so, she is actually worried that you will be cold."

As she spoke, Meng Xiuer bent down to help take the things on the floor.

After listening to Meng Xiuer's words, Zhou stood up and prepared to get the bedding.

An Yue, who was sleeping, seemed to hear a slight sound beside her ear.

Because my eyelids were too heavy, I couldn't open my eyes.

......

Day two.

The whole family got up early.

Chunzhi was making breakfast in the kitchen, while Annian was passing firewood under the stove and reading a book in the morning by the firelight.

My aunt and grandmother feed the poultry and livestock together.

A'le carried a basket down to the cellar and picked up a basket of potatoes.

Da Niu led Ba Shi to the field with torches to pick some spinach, cabbage and winter vegetables, preparing to take them to the shop.

A few quarters of an hour later.

Breakfast is ready.

The family began to sit together for breakfast.

At this time, the sky was slightly bright.

Several people carried the things they had prepared in advance and prepared to go to the shop in town.

An Yue was thinking about it. She heard from others in the town two days ago that the government had sent people to the villages in other towns to collect taxes a month ago.

It is reported that in the past, villagers had to carry their own grain to the town to pay taxes, and officials only had to wait at designated places in the town to collect taxes.

But now, we have experienced various natural disasters.

The villagers worked hard to grow some corn, but it was only enough to feed their own families, but the government was plundering them one by one.

It is said that in the next two days it will be the turn of several villages in Shijing Town.

An Yue always placed her hopes on Gu Mingchuan.

But now, there is no news from him, and no one knows whether he is dead or alive.

If the government comes to collect taxes this time, and it's freezing cold everywhere, and there's no food to eat at home, who knows how many people will starve to death.

......

Before they knew it, they had arrived in town.

An Yue opened the shop and everyone started to get busy.

As soon as she arrived at the shop, An Yue checked the ingredients that needed to be prepared every day.

An Yue found that there was not much pork left in the shop.

So she put on her backpack and went to the butcher shop across the street to buy some pork and pork bones.

The bone broth base for the spicy soup must be freshly boiled every day to ensure that it is fresh and fragrant.

Soon, An Yue bought back more than a dozen fresh pork bones.

Daniu cleaned the pig bones one by one and put them into the pot to boil.

Grandma was passing firewood under the stove, cooking the soup base for the spicy hot pot.

An Yue looked at the oil jar again. The essential ingredients for making malatang are sesame oil flavored with spices and secret chili oil.

An Yue saw that the oil could be used for another two days.

So she went to work with An Nian.

An Nian peeled potatoes, and An Yue cut them into slices.

Ale picked the vegetables from the field, selected them and washed them with clean water.

Chunzhi and her aunt-in-law brought hot water to the dining room and carefully wiped all the tables with hot water.

A'le washed all kinds of vegetables, and Chunzhi and her aunt went to get hemp ropes, preparing to divide the vegetables into small bundles, and then tie them up and put them in a wooden basin.

Then they are placed one by one in the food selection area for customers to choose.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Chenshi.

All the ingredients are already prepared.

An Nian slung a cloth bag over his shoulder, changed into a light blue scholar's robe, walked up to An Yue, and said, "Sister, it's getting late now, I should go to school!"

An Yue walked over and straightened his clothes, then said, "Go ahead! Remember to come to the shop for lunch."

"Okay." Having said that, An Nian walked out of the shop.

Just as An Nian left, a man's voice suddenly came from the shop door.

"Boss, are we here early enough today?"

An Yue looked around and found that they were the two customers who missed the trip yesterday.

What An Yue didn't expect was that they actually came to the shop early today to eat spicy hot pot, and it seemed that there were two more people.

An Yue hurried forward and greeted them warmly, "Good morning, brothers! We just prepared the ingredients today, so feel free to pick and choose."

As she spoke, An Yue raised her hand and motioned for them to go to the food selection area.

"Please choose your favorite dishes in the food selection area."

"Once you have chosen your dishes, you can take them to the counter to pay, and then hand them over to the kitchen for cooking."

The man laughed and reminded, "Haha, okay, okay, boss, don't forget what I said yesterday."

An Yue returned to the counter and said with a smile, "Of course I can't forget it. I promised to give each of you brothers an omelette as a gift."

......

It’s just the Si hour.

There was a constant stream of people coming and going in the shop.

Everyone was busy and sweating profusely.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from the door of the shop.

"Miss An Yue, I didn't expect it was really you?"

An Yue looked over when she heard the voice and found that it was Boss Wang from Wanfulou.

An Yue hurried forward and greeted him warmly, "Welcome to Shopkeeper Wang in person. Please take a seat."

"This morning, I heard from several servants that a very popular shop has opened in this town."

"After some inquiries, they said the shop was called 'An Jia Mala Tang'."

"When I heard the name of the shop, I guessed it was you. So I just came over to check it out."

"I came over to take a look. I didn't expect it to be Miss An Yue!"

"I should have gone to meet the shopkeeper in advance, but the shop just opened and I can't leave. I have no choice!"

"I, Wang, am aware of your situation. Seeing that your business is so popular, why don't you cook a bowl for me to try?"

An Yue secretly said in her heart: [I have already opened this shop, you can't force me to give you the secret recipe of spicy hot pot, right? ]

"Come on, come on, welcome Manager Wang to give us some advice and suggestions."
