It’s summer in a blink of an eye.

Lu Ming clearly felt that the atmosphere at home was tense.

It will be autumn in two months, and my uncle and father are thinking about something silently while eating.

Mrs. Zhao burns incense at home every day and prays that her children will go to high school.

Fortunately, after inspection by Li Xiuxiu and Zhao Mianmian, the group of cooks they found were ready to start cooking.

Li Xiuxiu is not afraid of others stealing the recipes, but they are basically home-cooked dishes.

As a consultant from her old boss, Li Xiuxiu enthusiastically explained the recipe without hiding it at all.

The recipe is one thing, making it is another.

The skill and touch coupled with the dishes exclusively provided by Zhao Family, Wuweizhai has a taste that cannot be copied by others.

The supply of vegetables was even greater. All the vegetables from the vegetable fields of the Niu family and the village chief's family were given to the Zhao family, except for keeping some for themselves.

Of course, the seeds were still provided by Lu Ming.

But the Zhao family has no time to take care of their own vegetable plot.

Mrs. Zhao asked the village chief to take the lead and handed over the land to the Xu family for management.

Vegetables were also planted in the Xu family's vegetable plot, thus maintaining the supply of Wuweizhai.

The Xu family are all honest people, and the orphans and widowers moved from other places.

After Xu San saved Qian Erniu, he didn't take credit or seek benefits. He was an honest person.

The vegetable plot was handed over to the Xu family, and Mrs. Zhao was relieved.

The Zhao family gave generous money, and the Xu family's life became better because of it.

At least they have enough food and clothing now. There are only three people in the family, and they have a small child. Xu San is basically the one doing the work.

He is indeed capable, he doesn't talk much, he is strong, and he can do everything neatly.

Now I don’t have to worry about eating, and my face is smiling when I see people, no longer gloomy.

Without the expression of bitterness and hatred, even the Xu family has become more integrated into the village.

Things are getting better too.

All preparations continued, and the family discussed the opening of the branch.

Mr. Zhao turned over the almanac and found that there were no suitable days in the past two months.

The nearest day is the day before Qiu Wei, otherwise we would have to wait half a month.

Qiu Wei is an important day. Mr. Zhao chose Qiu Wei without even considering the exam.

"Let's set this date on the tenth day of September."

The rest are meaningless, and it doesn't matter if you wait a little longer.

When it came to Qiu Wei, Zhao Laoer asked, "Dad, the eldest brother and the third brother are going to Lin'an City to attend Qiu Wei."

"According to the distance, it takes three days."

"Isn't it time to prepare something?"

Although Jiangcheng County belongs to Lin'an City, it is on the edge. It is closer to the capital and the journey to Lin'an City is far away.

Those who go over mountains and ridges have a hard time walking.

Everyone was thinking about this matter, and neither Mr. Zhao nor Mr. Zhao was embarrassed to ask for fear of disturbing them.

At this moment, Zhao Laoer opened his mouth and started to discuss.

"Yes, it's a long journey, so you need to prepare dry food and clothing."

"I heard that there are no rooms in the inn if I arrive late, so I have to book an inn early."

Chen Jingzhi said, "Don't worry about this. I've found a house right next to the examination room."

"Food and accommodation have been arranged."

"When I went to prepare the seats, I didn't expect Mr. Qin to have already prepared them."

"I asked, they are all good locations that are a little far away from the huts for ventilation and shade."

"The carriage for the journey has been prepared. All we need to do is prepare clothes."

It seemed that there was nothing to worry about. Zhao Laoer scratched his head and asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.

"Who are you going with?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Zhao eagerly.

Old lady, it’s clear on her face that I want to go.

Mrs. Zhao wondered: "You all want to go?"

Everyone in the Zhao family nodded.

"I want to accompany you. This is the top priority in the family."

Mrs. Zhao said with a smile: "Second brother, Xiuxiu, you two want to go too?"

Zhao Laoer said with a matter-of-fact expression, "Of course, my elder brother and younger brother are going to take exams, I will definitely accompany them."

Li Xiuxiu also thought the same, "I'm going to cheer."

Needless to say, the children definitely want to join in the fun.

"What about Wuweizhai and Lailu Pavilion?"

Now Wuweizhai cannot do without Li Xiuxiu, and Luge cannot do without Zhao Laoer.

Li Xiuxiu and Zhao Mianmian looked at each other and smiled.

"Mianmian and I have already made arrangements."

"Just in time to test the chefs we have trained, I will post a notice when the time comes."

"It should be okay to walk for half a month."

Zhao Laoer: "I've made arrangements too."

The two of them have been preparing and making arrangements for a long time.

Neither Mrs. Zhao nor Mr. Zhao interfered in the family business. The two principals had said so, and they had no reason to object.

Chen Jingzhi smiled and said, "That's what I guessed."

"Four carriages are prepared, enough for the whole family to go together."

Zhao Laoer put his arm on Chen Jingzhi's arm and said, "You didn't ask me to accompany you this time. It seems you are going too."

Chen Jingzhi nodded with a smile, "Of course."

Now that the discussion was settled, the Zhao family became busy again.

This time, Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao, who used to be leisurely, became busy.

This trip will only last for half a month. It may be long or short, so my family must be well prepared.

Mrs. Zhao prepared clothes for everyone, and Mr. Zhao helped pack the books.

The children were also sensible enough to help.

The most noisy Zhao Boyao is also sensible

He didn't make any noise or make any noise in the yard. I don't know what Zhao Mianmian told him.

When the little guy passed by the study, he walked quietly and slowed down, for fear of making any noise and disturbing his uncles, which made Mrs. Zhao laugh.

While Li Xiuxiu was busy, Mrs. Zhao kneaded the dough and prepared to make some dry food.

Her cooking skills had been neglected for several years. After Li Xiuxiu came in, Mrs. Zhao had not cooked much.

It was a bit unfamiliar at first, but I gradually found the feeling.

"Grandma, do you want pancakes?"

Mrs. Zhao rolled up her sleeves and kneaded the dough.

"This is a craft taught by grandma's parents. It's most suitable for making dry food on the road."

"You haven't eaten it yet. I'll give you a taste later."

The journey takes at least three days, and the mountain roads are rugged and not as convenient as at home.

If there is heavy rain on the road, it will be impossible to cook with a pot. To avoid starvation, always prepare convenient dry food.

You can eat it with a little heat. If you don't have the conditions, you can eat it directly with water. It's better than going hungry.

The pancakes are baked dry and smell fresh from the oven.

Zhao Changan blew a few anxious breaths and then stuffed it into his mouth, inhaling from the burning pain.

Mrs. Zhao quickly handed over a glass of cold water, "You kid, why are you in a hurry?"

"Did you burn your tongue?"

Zhao Changan drank a few mouthfuls of cold water to calm down, then stuck out his tongue to show Mrs. Zhao.

"Grandma, it's not burned."

"Delicious! So chewy!"

The pancakes are thin and fragrant, with only salt added and a very pure grain aroma.

Other children also gave positive comments after eating it.

It is different from the oil cakes or white flour cakes I had before. It is thin and dry. It requires a little more effort to chew. The more you chew, the more delicious it becomes.

Lu Ming's teeth were not even long, so it was difficult for him to chew.

Zhao Nanzhou carefully opened it little by little.

Give it to Lu Ming again.

Now that it can be chewed, Lu Ming also enjoys it.

“Grandma’s cakes are delicious!”

Mrs. Zhao was so elated by the praise that she became more and more energetic.

"Grandma is making some pickles, which taste better with pancakes."
