Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

I was so tired at noon that I was still tired at night.

Some evenings after lunch came again, and it was so busy that Du Chong came even after dark. Mao Xiaosui put the table where they were eating in the backyard for him to sit.

Du Chong was also a cook, and his hands itched when he saw Li Yunshan grilling him. After eating two skewers of meat, he pushed Ding Pingshun away and cooked it himself. While baking, he asked Mao Xiaosui, "Is it your idea again?"

Mao Xiaosui asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Li Yunshan doesn't have this brain. He is honest and can endure hardships. He can't talk about these weird things.

Li Yunshan smiled.

Du Chong added, "Your cooking skills are really good. Do you have any other ideas like this? Give me some tips too."

Qin An asked him, "Your restaurant is running well, why do you want to change it?"

Du Chong sighed, "If the business is not good, we can still make ends meet. Who doesn't want to earn more money?"

Mao Xiaosui hesitated, "Open a teahouse?"

Du Chong said "Hey", "Who keeps drinking that stuff for nothing? I'm a cook, so Ansheng should cook my food."

Mao Xiaosui smiled and said, "Yes, there is. Our small store will change it as soon as it is told. It would be a bit risky for a restaurant as big as yours to really change it."

"You tell me first and listen."

Mao Xiaosui asked him, "Do you know where there are sheep farmers? The ones that raise a lot of sheep."

Du Chong: "We have it in the county, but it's much more expensive than pork. Ordinary people in our small place don't eat it."

Mao Xiaosui: "As long as you have it, you can try hot pot and barbecue."

"Barbecue?" Du Chong passed the skewer in his hand forward, "This barbecue?"

"No."

"Use pork bones and hens to make soup, and cut the meat into very thin slices... This takes into account the chef's knife skills. When the time comes, it will be scalded in the soup and it will taste delicious. You can customize the kind of baking pan and pot that are integrated Pot... But this thing is not suitable for summer, it is suitable for cold weather, and other things are not suitable for a restaurant like yours." As for the dishes... Mao Xiaosui could think of a few, but none of them had seasonings.

"That's okay." Du Chong said, "I'll do it together."

Mao Xiaosui laughed. "It's true, but I still suggest you don't do it when it's hot in summer. After all, it's a charcoal fire. If it's too hot, it will affect the business in the entire building."

Du Chong agreed and said, "You two are very interesting. You are not hiding anything."

Mao Xiaosui smiled, Du Chong was a good person, and she was happy to help anyone she liked. Furthermore, their family's main business is the breeding farm. They open a restaurant just for fun, and they don't rely on it to support their family.

After finishing the work, the old lady helped clean up and went back with Qin An. Li Yunshan put out the charcoal fire and Mao Xiaosui started to check the accounts.

The best items sold today were pork skewers and vegetarian dishes. Excluding the odds and ends like ingredients, seasonings and rent... I made a total of more than ninety taels.

This nine taels does not include the principal amount of rabbit meat, so the net profit is eight taels.

In the past two years, I have made a lot of money and I don't actually feel anything when I hold it in my hand, but it feels good to be exhausted but also very at ease.

They didn't do it too late. The Qiansheng family was still busy when they sent Qian Yiyi back.

Mao Xiaosui gave her today's money, said "see you tomorrow" and left.

Li Ruyi was still a little excited at noon, but now she was a little sluggish, but Li Yunshan was carrying Li Ankang, who was sleeping, on her back, so she walked by herself and did not let Mao Xiaosui carry him.

After coming out of the alley, Li Ruyi asked Mao Xiaosui, "Don't I have any wages?"

"Yes." Mao Xiaosui said, "For two coppers a day, I can buy you a very beautiful dress."

Li Ruyi laughed, "Then I will share my wages with Ankang, otherwise he will be unhappy."

Mao Xiaosui laughed, "Then I'll also buy some clothes for Ankang."

Li Ruyi nodded and said, "Ankang's clothes are not good-looking, and they are not as beautiful as mine."

Mao Xiaosui said "Oh", "I want to buy him colorful clothes, but he won't wear them."

Li Ruyi chuckled.

The business of the barbecue restaurant slowed down after three consecutive days. It opened near noon and closed in one to two hours. After another half an hour, it was time to prepare for the afternoon.

Although I can't take any time off, I'm not very tired either. It may not be about supporting the family. They can open the door or not, so there's no pressure.

Ding Pingshun helped in the shop for a few days before going to the farm. Qin An looked at the shop in the morning, came to the shop for a meal at noon and helped grill skewers, looked at the shop in the afternoon, and ordered grilled skewers for dinner in the evening...

—

This year's rain was much less than in previous years. By the end of June, people had already started to go to the fields one after another. There was not much planting on the farm. A group of people finished cleaning it in one day, and the remaining threshing work was done after dinner in the evening. I also finished cleaning up bit by bit, without even delaying my work.

In early July, Qin An and Ding Pingshun went to Changsu County again to deliver meat to the Jia family.

This time we only drove mules, so we could get back quickly without doing any business.

The days passed day by day. In the morning, Mao Xiaosui and Li Yunshan strolled to buy meat as usual. When they arrived at the stall, they saw a very familiar person.

After taking a closer look, I discovered that it was the old lady of the Yin family, with her hands on her hips and scolding the woman selling meat.

Why do you mean to charge her more money...

It was only when I was coming and going that Mao Xiaosui understood the whole story. Mrs. Yin took the meat home and said it was not enough for the scale, so she ran back and asked the stall owner to pay for it.

The stall owner was not a vegetarian, so he immediately scolded the old lady from head to toe, from one life to the next.

Mao Xiaosui was enjoying watching the excitement when he heard the stall owner say, "Well, Li Xiuping has left your family and now she is making a lot of money and is handsome. Your family is not blessed. Whoever gets it will be unlucky. Get out of here, otherwise I will." But no matter how old you are, I will still slap you."

Old Mrs. Yin fell silent when she talked about Li Xiuping, and finally took the meat and left.

The stall owner said "Bah" heavily and cursed a few more times.

After shopping, I returned to the barbecue shop and the old lady had already washed the beans and mushrooms.

She took the meat, fish and shrimp and went to process them, while Mao Xiaosui braised the pig's trotters.

I'm not going to braise the dried rabbit today. I'll just moisten the fresh rabbit with oil and salt and roast it directly.

While they were cleaning up, a little girl with a dirty face came in. This girl was no stranger to them. She was Xu Xiaohong from Widow Qian's family.

Mao Xiaosui had no ill intentions toward her, but he didn't like Widow Qian either, so he asked, "Is something wrong?"

Xu Xiaohong asked in a low voice, "Can I come to your house to earn money?"

Mao Xiaosui: "No."

Xu Xiaohong glanced outside, nervously picking her hands, but still said, "I don't want much money..."

Mao Xiaosui ignored her. Seeing that she was still standing, Li Yunshan pushed her out. When he came back, he said, "There is a man waiting for Xu Xiaohong not far from the door."

Mao Xiaosui didn't care and asked him to skewer fish and shrimp.

Mao Xiaosui cooked and ate their own food before doing business at noon. They were tired of eating barbecue for many days, especially she herself got angry, but Qin An still liked it very much. One stew for rice, one for barbecue, eat by yourself, bake by yourself.

Mao Xiaosui said casually, "The mutton tastes better when it's roasted."

Li Yunshan immediately replied, "There are sheep in the town. Do you want to buy one?"

Mao Xiaosui was also very greedy. "Then you go buy it, keep some for sale, and divide the rest. This way it won't spoil easily."

"Okay." Li Yunshan said, "I'll go there in the afternoon and I'll bring him over tomorrow morning."

Mao Xiaosui nodded.
