The grain tax has been collected, the banquets have been laid out, Lu Sheng's vacation is about to end, and it's time for the Lu family to pack up and go to the county town.
Boss Lu and Mrs. Xu have been packing their things in their free time these days, and have already packed what they want to take away. This year I planned to take all the food away, but I didn’t take it with me when I left. Lu Yan said she would come back after eating. Mrs. Xu wanted to take more with her, but Lu Yan felt sorry for the donkey. It was better not to make the donkey so tired. The four of them weighed [-] kilograms in total. Plus miscellaneous food and [-] kilograms of grain, the donkey was exhausted. Anyway, it’s not far away. After eating, you can come back to pick it up. You can pick up three to four hundred kilograms at a time, and it only takes half a day to go back and forth.
"Just bring something you can use." Lu Yan said, "It's not like we won't come back in this life. This house will never be able to escape here."
A few people packed up and went to the county seat the next day. The donkey cart ran all morning and stopped at the gate of the courtyard. Before the door opened, Yinzi heard the noise and rushed over to scratch the door.
As soon as the door opened, Yinzi flew out, threw Lu Yan to the ground and licked her. Lu Sheng tried to pull Lu Yan down but was also knocked down with a claw. Yinzi greeted its owner with enthusiastic wrestling skills. By the time Yinzi stood up and waved his tail to welcome Mr. Xu and Mr. Lu, these two adults had already slipped into the room in advance.
The three cats lying in the yard have also grown up and have shown different personality traits. The only little female cat, Sanhua, was sitting on the ground with her head tilted and looking curiously at the people who came in; the fighting king among cats, Little Lihua, stood up and showed a nervous and alert posture; the cow cat was indeed the psychopath among cats. , its attention was not at all on the incoming person. It looked at Cihua as it stood up, as if it had finally found a chance, and kicked off the tree with its hind legs, sliding over and tripping Cihua. The civet's hair exploded, and he pounced on the cow and the cat and beat them, but it was Yinzi who pulled them away.
Boss Lu and Mrs. Xu packed their things, and it was time for lunch. In fact, we didn’t do much in the morning but took the bus. Now everyone is in a state where they are not very hungry but not very hungry, but not very hungry yet still a little hungry. Lu Yan looked at what was in the kitchen at home, and sure enough, there was nothing left, only a basket of eggs and a basket of potatoes.
Since everyone was not too hungry, Lu Yan decided to use the basket of potatoes to make a delicacy that was once popular at night markets, potato shredded pancakes.
Peel and grate the potatoes, put them in a basin and add salt to drain out the moisture. Remove the water from the potato shreds, add seasoning powder to taste, and add two tablespoons of potato starch and mix well. Heat the oil in a pan, add shredded potatoes when the oil is [-]% hot. The essence of potato pancakes is that the potato shreds must be spread thickly, about half an inch thick, so that the potato pancakes will be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Pour a layer of oil on top and cut into pieces after a while. Fry slowly over medium-low heat, turning slightly, until the bottom turns brown, then turn over piece by piece until both sides are crispy, and the potato pancakes are ready.
Potato shredded cake
The potato shredded pancakes can be eaten as they are, or you can brush them with sweet bean paste and sprinkle with chili powder. They are crispy on the outside, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They are so delicious.
The potato shredded pancake really conquered the Lu family, and Mrs. Xu, who kept saying she wasn't hungry, also ate a whole piece.
After dinner, it was time to get down to business. Boss Lu decided to go to the street to find if there were any carpenter shops recruiting workers. He still wanted to find a place to work in his old profession.
As for the Xu family, Lu Yan initially planned to let her be the accountant, but recently she had a new idea.
"Mom, let me ask you," Lu Yan came to Xu's side: "I definitely want you to help me, but do you have any ideas? For example, do you want to settle accounts? Do you want to learn how to cook and eat with me, or do you want to do something else?"
Mrs. Xu quickly waved her hand: "I really don't have any talent in eating, so I'll settle the score with you."
But Lu Yan had other plans: "Mom, actually I have an idea. Do you like making clothes? Many people praised the clothes you made for me. What do you think of designing clothes?"
Xu was stunned for a moment and repeated hesitantly: "Making clothes? Me?"
Lu Yan nodded: "Our family has this condition. My aunt's family is in the fabric business. I want to discuss it with my aunt's family first and add a display area for ready-made clothes in the store. If anyone likes it, they can come to you to customize it. Let's It doesn’t cost anything. When I don’t have any orders, you can help me in the store. When there is business, you can go home and do the work.”
Xu's heart was crazy: "Is this really possible?" She really likes to make clothes and has some inspiration in needlework.
"I will go to discuss cooperation with my aunt in the afternoon." Lu Yan said, "From now on, you and Huang Hui will be in charge of the store."
Just do it, Lu Yan agreed with Mrs. Xu and went directly to her aunt's house.
The aunt was very surprised to hear Lu Yan's intention, and after careful consideration, it was indeed feasible. She heard Huang Hui say several times that the clothes her aunt made for sister Yan'er were very beautiful and were made of her own cloth. Adding an area for displaying ready-to-wear clothing in your store requires almost no effort.
The aunt took Lu Yan directly to the store. The two of them discussed where the display area should be, notified the uncle and signed the contract. The fabric used to display the clothes is provided free of charge by Huangji Cloth Store. The price of the ready-made clothes is jointly agreed between Huangji Cloth Store and Xu's, which includes the cost of fabric and handicraft fees. If a customer orders ready-made clothes, the fabric part will be fully borne by Huangji Cloth Store. Huang Kee was responsible for supplying the fabrics and keeping all the profits. In the handicraft part, Huangji Buzhuang and Xu family were divided into three and seven. Huangji Buzhuang got three points and Xu family got seven points.
After the Xu family's matter was settled, Lu Yan came out and went to Lu Ji. With Huang Hui and Spring Equinox and Winter Solstice here, the kitchen has been opened in the mornings these days. Since the county school is on holiday, there is no need to cook at noon, and Bai An has already learned all the other chores of Spring Equinox. I couldn’t make it on the equinox in the evening, so I closed the shop.
Lu Yan said before that if there is a diner who wants to eat even if Lu Yan is not around, then cook it for him. If you really can't do it well, I'll give it back. More practice is a good thing.
Now that Lu Yan is back, she can drive for another day.
When Lu Yan came back, she told Huang Hui about the Xu family and asked her to take the Xu family with her. I originally planned to let Huang Hui go after this for a while, but now I feel a little reluctant to let her go.
Lu Yan asked her: "Logically speaking, when mother comes, I should let you go. Are you still willing to stay with me? Or do you want to go home?"
"I don't want to go back." Huang Hui blurted out: "Sister, let me stay here. It's too boring to stay at home. How can there be any fun in the store?"
"Okay." Lu Yan nodded: "Then you take your aunt with you. You two usually help out in the store. If your aunt has any work at the clothes shop, please be more busy. I will give you each one a month. Two halves of silver.”
Huang Hui nodded happily.
