Joe's Farming

Two days later, the new house was completed before noon. Qiao Yu specially prepared two meat dishes for everyone to celebrate the completion. The next step was to paste oil paper on the installed wooden windows, light a brazier to dehumidify the house, and leave it empty for a few days before moving in.

On this day, Qiao Yu invited Wen Ge'er's family, Shi Daniang's family, and Li Li's family to use the stove in the new house to see if there were any problems. The stove in the new house can cook four pots at the same time, which is very powerful. Qiao Yu made a pot of stir-fried pork with green peppers, a pot of lotus root with oil residue, a pot of stir-fried tofu with green onions, and then two full pots of kelp soup.

The rice was still steamed at Aunt Shi's house. Two large steamed buns were prepared. In case there was not enough for so many people, a bowl of white flour cakes was also baked. Twenty-five catties of pork were bought alone. The cost of the dishes alone was seven hundred coins. All the food was placed on the large stone table that had just been built in the yard of the new house. You could take as much as you wanted.

Everyone was very happy with the meal. Gu Feng went to the old winemaker in the village and bought two jars of wine. The helpers' eyes lit up when they saw it. They were busy for almost 20 days. Those who loved to drink didn't drink at all for fear of missing work. They immediately took out the bamboo cups that Qiao Yu usually gave them for tea and filled each one. Those who didn't usually drink were also infected by the atmosphere and filled their cups as well.

Qiao Yu, Gu Feng, Wen Ge'er and others sat together and asked Gu Feng to pour him a cup. Qiao Yu raised the bamboo cup and knocked on it with chopsticks, but the sound was too small, so Qiao Yu laughed out loud. Gu Feng curled his lips and wanted to know what he wanted to do.

It was Wen Ge'er who glared at Wang Jie, who immediately understood and said loudly, "Everyone, don't say anything yet. Mr. Gu has something to say to everyone."

After hearing this, everyone stopped and looked at Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu felt a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "It's nothing. It's just that everyone has worked so hard for so many days to build a house for our family. The house can be completed so quickly. I am really grateful to everyone! This glass of wine is for all of you! I'll drink it, you can do whatever you want!" After that, he drank the glass of wine in one gulp.

"it is good!"

"Mr. Gu has a good alcohol tolerance!"

"Next time you have work, come to me. I will definitely come!"

Everyone drank the wine and had new thoughts about Gu Liehu's husband. Originally they just thought he was cheerful and gentle, but now they thought he was an open-minded man who could accomplish great things. He was a perfect match for Gu Liehu.

Gu Feng snatched the cup from his husband's hand and asked in a low voice: "Are you okay?"

Qiao Yu opened her eyes wide: "Great, it couldn't be better." This ancient wine is not irritating to the throat at all and is quite delicious, but the taste is a little light.

Gu Feng felt relieved: "Well, don't get drunk."

"Don't worry, I know what to do." After saying that, he went to clink glasses with Wen Ge'er again. Everyone thought it was fun and followed his example and clinked glasses with others.

The three kids were not allowed to drink, so they filled bamboo cups with water and played with it. Uncle Wang hadn't drunk for many years, so today he had a good time.

The meal ended when the sun was setting. Although they had only worked half a day, no one paid them a full day's wages. Everyone thanked Gu's family and left.

Gu Feng called Zhang Shan and said, "Brother Zhang, there is still a lot of food left. If you don't mind, take some back."

Zhang Shan was stunned. Every day before, the boss specially asked him to bring a bowl of food back. Today was the last farewell dinner, and he had originally thought of not bringing anything today. But the boss specially called him over, and his eyes immediately turned red: "Boss..."

There was no extra expression on Gu Feng's face: "If you want it, take it quickly so that we can clean it up."

Zhang Shan hurriedly said, "Hey, hey, hey, thank you, boss."

Qiao Yu watched with a smile on her face, her husband was truly...

Gu Feng turned around and saw Qiao Yu, and smiled: "What are you looking at? You are smiling so happily."

Qiao Yu chuckled: "Look at you~ My husband is so handsome, people can't take their eyes off him." When Gu Feng heard this, although his face didn't show it, his ears turned red. When did his husband become so bold that he dared to say anything? Noticing that there was no one around, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"The shop opens tomorrow, and our whole family should go, okay?" Qiao Yu was afraid that Gu Feng would go into the mountains to hunt as soon as he finished his housework.

Unexpectedly, Gu Feng's face turned a little unhappy: "That's what I originally planned. Why do you think I will do other things?"

"Uh... I was wrong. I thought you wanted to go up the mountain." Qiao Yu immediately admitted his mistake.

Seeing that his husband was so nice, Gu Feng smiled and said, "My husband's affairs are the most important affairs of our family. You don't need to discuss it with me. I will definitely agree to it."

Qiao Yu smiled with her eyebrows curved: "You too, if you want to do anything, you must tell me, I will definitely support you."

Taoyuan Town, opening day

The snack bar's sign was a bright red one with yellow letters, stretching in the wind like a flame.

Each table was decorated with fresh yellow flowers, which matched the blue and white plaid, making it more elegant than other shops. Qiao Yu specially changed into the robe that Gu Feng had made for him. It was moon-white and elegant. Gu Feng himself wore a dark robe, and the children also wore festive red jackets, with their hair combed meticulously. The old man wore a dark blue robe with dark patterns, which suited his age very well.

Today, Lin Da and Lin Er also came. They came to send Wen Ge'er and his friends here because the carriage couldn't hold so many people. They prepared firecrackers to celebrate the new shop.

The crackling sound of firecrackers attracted passers-by, and even many people got off the moored boats. Regular customers at the dock had been waiting since early morning. Many people knew that the store was open and the dishes were half-price. Some of them didn't even have breakfast, just waiting to come and taste the braised food.

Not all snack bars serve braised food, so Qiao Yu spent two days at home making it. As she didn't have fermented black beans and butter, she modified the recipe and made two flavors of skewers: spicy braised and spicy and hot.

The old customers cupped their hands and congratulated Qiao Yu: "Boss, business is booming, business is booming."

Qiao Yu smiled brightly: "Thank you, thank you."

When the three children saw people coming, they immediately led them to the wooden rack for selecting dishes: "Customers, please choose your dishes here, and then hand them over to Aunt Li at the stove."

The three children were smart and clever. Even Gu Xiaoyan, who was usually shy, became much bolder and followed his brother and sister to lead the way smoothly. Qiao Yu took a look from time to time and when he found that there was no problem at all, he left it to them and helped flexibly.

Gu Fengwen and Wang Jie were responsible for helping to serve the dishes. The blanched dishes were placed in a ceramic bowl containing the bottom of the pot. The ceramic bowl was charged separately, but you could choose not to use it and just put the skewers on the plate.

As soon as the guests entered the restaurant, they were shocked by the dazzling array of dishes on the wooden shelves. There were not only seasonal vegetables, but also various soy products, as well as pork belly, pork tongue, spare ribs, pork stomach, pork lungs, and the restaurant's signature braised pork intestines, as well as chicken, chicken offal, chicken skin, pig skin, and pig blood, which was simply unheard of.

In order to open the store smoothly at noon, Qiao Yu and Wen Ge'er started preparing last night. The soy products were made by Aunt Shi in the middle of the night.

More and more people are waiting outside the shop, waiting for feedback from the first person to try it out.

In order to attract those who have difficulty making choices and are short of money, Qiao Yu also made a set meal. A skewer of meat and vegetables plus a bowl of rice only cost 18 cents. In order to make it easier to wash the dishes, the set meal was served on a large plate. Qiao Yu also taught the customers to put the rice in a bowl and turn it upside down on the plate. The dishes in the set meal did not need to be skewered. They could be cooked directly with a bamboo colander, put on a plate, add some soup, and the presentation was very appetizing.

The first guest who ordered the set meal sat at the table outside and couldn't wait to take a bite. Delicious!
