The day of rebirth and elopement: caught by the military officer husband
Chapter 24 Mother-in-law is more powerful than my own mother
The next day, Shi Zhenli returned home happily in the sunshine.
Her cheeks were as rosy as peach blossoms and her eyes were shining with pride.
Lin Xiaoxue saw the clue at a glance, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which was self-evident.
Mother Lu, on the other hand, had other thoughts. She was busy in the kitchen but would cast scrutinizing glances at him from time to time.
She muttered quietly: "This second son's wife is always not motivated to work, but she is quite active in being lazy."
But before she finished speaking, Shi Zhenli had already taken out the heavy order form from her bag.
"This... 30 kilograms?" Mother Lu took the order in surprise. "Your harvest yesterday was quite good. I thought you would just play outside and wait for pie to fall from the sky."
Lin Xiaoxue also walked closer to take a closer look: "Hey! It's really awesome!"
She showed a rare look of approval, "Second sister-in-law, you actually thought of going to the factory to sell your products. That's really amazing."
Shi Zhenli's face became even more radiant when she heard the compliment.
"Actually..." She stammered, "This idea was thought up by Jingshi."
The implication is nothing more than showing off how capable one's man is.
Mother Lu nodded after hearing this: "No wonder! It turned out to be Jingshi's idea. But it's great that you can get the order back."
There was a hint of praise in his tone.
At this time, Lin Xiaoxue noticed the huge number of orders, "Mom, the radishes grown in the village are almost harvested! To meet so many orders, we have to go to nearby villages to purchase them."
"Then I'll take care of it now!" Mother Lu said she would be responsible for the matter and walked out.
She is well-known in the surrounding area. The vegetable purchase in this village is coming to an end, and now we have to turn our attention to the neighboring villages.
Just as she found her old sister and started to prepare for harvesting vegetables, a familiar but unwelcome figure came into view.
"It's Li Cai'e." Mother Lu narrowed her eyes and looked at that utterly bad relative who was knocking on every door in the village.
Although Lin Xiaoxue had severed ties with him long ago, as an elder she decided to keep her distance and did not step forward to say hello.
Driven by curiosity, Mother Lu followed quietly behind.
Li Cai'e announced loudly: "Everyone! We in the Lin family are going to collect radishes, cabbages, etc.... all for making pickles! Who of you is willing to sell them to me? You can even help me sell them after they are ready!"
Hearing these words echoing in the air, Mother Lu felt alarm bells ringing.
"It is true." Mother Lu said to herself, "The Lin family really needs to follow the trend and start the pickled vegetable business."
Thinking of this, she immediately changed her strategy: since Changgan Village has been targeted, she will change direction and go to other villages to harvest vegetables!
He then turned around and left Changgan Village, searching in several nearby villages.
Lu's mother was familiar with the surrounding area. In a short period of time, she mobilized people from several surrounding villages to actively participate in the supply of radishes and cabbages.
By the time the Lu family had lunch, the yard was already filled with villagers who had come to deliver goods.
When Lin Xiaoxue was directing the workers to load, sort and store the goods, she noticed Lu's mother with a complicated expression.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you tired?" Lin Xiaoxue walked over and asked with concern.
"Nothing." Mother Lu waved her hand, "It's just that I encountered a little incident when I went out today."
Lin Xiaoxue asked: "Mom, what little episode could make you frown?"
Mother Lu said with a hint of displeasure: "Nothing, I just saw your mother Li Cai'e when I went to the next village."
Lin Xiaoxue's eyes rolled, and she seemed to have the answer in her mind. If it was just a simple encounter, it would not make her mother-in-law frown and worry.
She said, "Isn't it possible that Mom saw her picking vegetables? Does she want to make pickles too?"
Mother Lu patted her thigh and raised her voice a little: "You are amazing! How can you guess everything? That's right, it's this! The Lin family wants to make pickles, and it's obviously targeting you. What's your countermeasure?"
She was very anxious. She finally had a profitable business and she didn't want it to fail in an instant.
Lin Xiaoxue smiled and said confidently and calmly: "I know too well what kind of character that so-called biological mother is. Let her do it. Business is not suitable for everyone. Besides, I have long expected that some people will be jealous and follow suit."
She paused and said, "We have already seized the initiative and set up a workshop. We will launch other food series in the future."
Mother Lu listened attentively, "You, you will launch other foods, what are they?"
She became interested.
Lin Xiaoxue shared her plan, "Mom, don't we have a hundred duck eggs saved up at home? I plan to try making some salted duck eggs and preserved eggs."
Mother Lu was stunned for a moment, "I haven't heard much about these."
"It has been available in other cities for a long time, but we don't see it very often in our town." Lin Xiaoxue explained: "Young people like new things, and it is very popular among them. We launch new products every once in a while to give consumers a sense of anticipation."
Although Mother Lu was not very familiar with this, she felt relieved when she saw her daughter-in-law being so confident.
Anyway, those duck eggs and chicken eggs were all laid by our own chickens and ducks. We used to save them and sell them to the supply and marketing cooperatives.
Now the Lin family has made some money from the pickled vegetable business, so they don’t need to sell it anymore.
The eggs can be eaten at home to supplement nutrition. As for the duck eggs, Lin Xiaoxue can make whatever she wants with them.
She nodded in support, "Okay, you can do whatever you want with the duck eggs!"
"Mom, thank you." Lin Xiaoxue gave her a grateful smile.
She is grateful to have a good mother-in-law who supports her in everything. If she were in the Lin family, she would definitely be poured cold water on and scolded for having wild ideas if she proposed to do business.
Thinking of this, her heart really turned cold. Some people who were obviously blood relatives were indeed worse than strangers.
However, some people who are not related by blood are better than family members.
She had no choice about her original family, but she chose her in-laws’ family in this life herself, so she will definitely be happy there.
Soon, Mother Lu came with a basket of duck eggs, all of which were evenly sized, round and plump.
She gently put down the basket, found a shady spot in the yard and began to wipe each duck egg.
Lin Xiaoxue saw this and smiled: "Mom, there is no need to wipe it. There is no need to be so particular when making salted duck eggs and preserved eggs."
"Huh?" Mother Lu stopped and looked at her daughter-in-law in confusion.
"I need yellow mud." Lin Xiaoxue explained: "Yellow mud can better seal the flavor of pickling."
Mother Lu suddenly realized: "So that's it!"
She then turned to her eldest son who was busy in the yard and shouted, "Jingshu! Go to the mountain and get a bucket of yellow mud."
A distant voice responded, "Okay, Mom!"
After Lu Jingshu agreed, he picked up an iron bucket and walked towards the small hill outside the village.
Lin Xiaoxue began to prepare the preserved eggs.
She first mixed wood ash, salt and quicklime in proportion, then coated the duck eggs one by one with the thick mixture, and carefully placed them in a ceramic jar and sealed them for preservation.
Just when the preserved eggs were almost processed, Lu Jingshu returned home covered in sweat, carrying a bucket full of moist yellow soil.
"I'm back!" he shouted.
"Brother, thank you for your hard work." Lin Xiaoxue said gratefully.
Lu Jingshu scratched his head in a simple manner: "Don't be polite, these are just small matters. If it's not enough, I'll get more."
"That's enough." Lin Xiaoxue responded hurriedly.
Next is making salted duck eggs.
Lin Xiaoxue sprinkled the duck eggs with salt water solution and then slightly dried them in the yellow mud. Each egg must be wrapped tightly and seamlessly to ensure that it can fully absorb salt and other spice ingredients during the burial process.
Finally, these soil balls that look like seeds waiting to germinate are neatly arranged into jars and sealed.
Lin Xiaoxue also marked the date, and faced everyone's curious eyes, and explained: "You can enjoy the delicious food in about twenty days."
Hearing her say this, Mother Lu couldn't help but look forward to it: "My daughter-in-law is really amazing, how come she knows everything? I'm already old, but I still haven't tasted this kind of taste."
She had never imagined that there were so many ways to cook duck eggs. It really broadened her horizons.
Lin Xiaoxue smiled and said, "Then when it's ready to eat, let mom taste it first."
Mother Lu smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits, and her heart was warm.
"Xiaoxue, you are such a caring and good daughter-in-law. It is a blessing for the third son to have a daughter-in-law like you."
Then he added, "I will collect some more duck eggs tomorrow, you can make more. When Jing Ting comes back to visit his family, let him bring some back to the army so that his comrades can have a taste."
Well, actually, what Lu’s mother wanted to do was to tell her comrades that her son had found a good wife.
But Lin Xiaoxue didn't know that her abacus beads were about to jump onto her face.
Just hearing these words, two red clouds appeared on his face unconsciously.
