I open a small shop to support my family

When he got home, Yu Jinhuai just pushed open the door, the two dogs of the family rushed inside first, then Yu Zhining kicked his legs to get down, Yu Jinhuai took advantage of the situation and put him down, as soon as his feet touched the ground, he immediately ran home impatiently.

After talking with his little friends in the village all afternoon, he was so thirsty, he ran to the clay stove, and walked around the clay stove anxiously, always remembering what his little uncle and his uncle said, So he just stood by the tan stove, waiting for Yu Jinhuai who had finished washing his hands to come in, picked up the kettle on the tan stove and poured water for him.

Holding the bowl, Yu Zhining took a sip, drank in a hurry, some water appeared from the corner of his mouth, and flowed down his chin to his clothes. After a while, the piece of clothes under his chin was quickly wet, and he drank one after another. Two bowls of water, Yu Zhining didn't put down the bowl in his hand until his belly was round, pulled a small stool and sat under the eaves, resting his chin with both hands and looking up at the sky.

A few dark blue clouds were floating in the sky, among which were mixed with pink or orange-red clouds. Yu Zhining shook his head, and moved the tassel on his hairband to the front, holding the tail of the tassel with his fingertips, listening From the kitchen room came the voices of the little uncle and the little uncle talking, squinting his eyes happily, and quietly blowing the evening breeze.

Dahei and Daqing were lying on the ground beside his feet, with their chin resting on his feet, and the other was lying under the jujube tree in the yard, staring at the kitchen with wide-open eyes, with suspicious crystal water dripping from the corners of their mouths. stains.

The smell coming from the stove made Yu Zhining's nose twitch involuntarily, and his head turned to that side. He opened his eyes and looked at the figures walking in the stove.

He smelled it, it was the aroma of hot and sour powder.

But... when did the little uncle make the powder?The vermicelli made at home was obviously finished, Yu Zhining, who couldn't figure it out, shook his head,

Not long after, Meng Yunshu stood at the door of the kitchen, rolled up his apron to wipe off the water on his hands, and said to him, "Ah Ning, go and do it, it's time to eat."

Yu Zhining responded, obediently got down from the stool, ran to the washbasin under the eaves, and washed his hands.

As soon as he moved, Daqing, who was pillowed on his shoe, also moved, following his steps closely, until Yu Jinhuai called them with the dinner for them, then Daqing turned and followed behind Yu Jinhuai.

After dinner, the Yu family put out the oil lamp early and got on the kang.

I thought about packing up Yu Jinjiang's room for Yu Zhining to live in, but they are going to Fucheng later, and the west wing room has also been packed up for Yu Zhining, but there is still a lack of furniture in the room. You can let Yu Zhining sleep alone, and still sleep with them during the time in Cangnan Village.

Meng Yunshu leaned in Yu Jinhuai's arms, his heavy eyelids were fighting up and down, and fell asleep after a while.

The bright moonlight came in through the uncovered windows and shone on their quilts. The sleeping Yu Jinhuai habitually reached out to wrap Meng Yunshu in his arms, and they embraced and fell asleep.

On the next day, Yu Jinhuai, who was thinking about something in his heart, woke up early, and Meng Yunshu was awakened by his movement.

"Ayun, it's still early, sleep a little longer." Yu Jinhuai said softly as he ran down his hair, pressing down a lock of hair on the top of his head.

Meng Yunshu, whose eyes were half-closed, shook her head in his arms, put her hands around his waist, rubbed against his clothes like attachment, and said in a hoarse voice: "No, I want to get up."

After saying that, he pulled Yu Jinhuai to sleep under the quilt for a while and then sat up. The messy hair and his half-closed eyes made Yu Jinhuai's heart move, and he stretched out his hand to rub his hair again. Knead, so it looks more messy.

Meng Yunshu didn't make trouble, just pulled his hand to stick to her face, then yawned and said: "I came back yesterday, and I saw that the spring planting in the village was coming to an end. I heard from Aning that the village head was sitting in the middle of the village yesterday." Watching them play, I think all the land in his house has been planted."

"You don't go until you have breakfast today." While talking, he yawned again, forcing a few drops of physiological tears from the corners of his eyes, looking at him with moist eyes.

When Yu Jinhuai saw him, he couldn't help stretching out his arms to hug him, kissed his forehead, and said yes.

"Go quickly." Seeing him kissing once and wanting to kiss again, Meng Yunshu pushed him away and said in a low voice.

-

The Yu family's breakfast was very simple. Meng Yunshu made steamed buns before going to bed yesterday, and only waited to get up the next day to make wheat rice.

After one night, the steamed buns were soaked soft. Meng Yunshu took them out and put them in the basin prepared in advance. He added salt and oil to them. After stirring well, he put the rice on the grate in the pot and washed his hands. Sitting in front of the stove, he lit the hay in his hand with a torch, stuffed it into the stove when it was almost done, and then hurriedly added fine firewood to it.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Meng Yunshu turned around and saw Yu Jinhuai sitting in the yard poking the mud under his feet with a branch, he went to the river, and there were freshly picked mints in the bamboo basket beside him, all with roots, These are Meng Yunshu's plans to plant on the farm later.

"Brother Huai, do you want to stir-fry or chop pickles?"

Meng Yunshu stuffed a handful of hardwood into the bottom of the pot, stood up and leaned against the door frame, and said to Yu Jinhuai in the yard.

Yu Jinhuai got up and took a few steps, the soles of his feet finally felt lighter, and he said, "Anything is fine."

Hearing this, Meng Yunshu nodded, turned around and entered the kitchen.

There are still some pickles left at home, and I just finished eating them this time.

Then Yu Jinhuai turned around and went into the main room, and when he came out again, he was sitting in the courtyard studying the drawings drawn by Meng Yunshu last night.

On the drawings are the tools for extracting oil, and at the bottom is the drawing of the distillation equipment that Meng Yunshu bought from the canteen.

Yu Jinhuai held it in his hand for a while and changed it to the blueprint of the distillation apparatus. The blueprint clearly marked the data and required materials. After reading this, Yu Jinhuai folded it and put it back.

What A Yun said is right, the distillation equipment is really something they can't make at this stage.

However, when he was in the military camp, he heard a centurion mention that the soju his general drank was said to be steamed. Thinking of this, Yu Jinhuai's mind flashed.

Could it be that the steam in the centurion's mouth is the distillation that Ayun said?

If this is true, shochu is distilled, then it is not impossible for Ah Yun to distill essential oils.

Yu Jinhuai suppressed the fluctuations in his heart for the time being, he didn't intend to tell Meng Yunshu, he would talk to Ayun after Weiping Mansion found out the method of distillation technology, otherwise it would be a joy for nothing.

At this time, Meng Yunshu's voice came from the kitchen, "Brother Huai, the meal is ready, go and wake up Ah Ning."

"En." Yu Jinhuai responded, then got up and went to the bedroom.

Which kang is it? Yu Zhining sleeps soundly in a large font, and can hear him snoring when he gets close.

Yu Jinhuai sat on the edge of the kang, stretched out his hand to lift his quilt, and directly hugged him out, then pinched Yu Zhining's nose, who was still unwilling to wake up, and after a while, Yu Zhining, who was having difficulty breathing, opened his eyes in a daze. The big eyes looked back at him with a layer of water mist, then reached out and hugged his neck and rubbed it, muttering: "Little uncle, let Ah Ning sleep for a while, Ah Ning is so sleepy."

Yu Jinhuai didn't hesitate to hug him and put on clothes for him. Meeting Yu Zhining's aggrieved eyes and seeing his pouted lips, Yu Jinhuai paused and said, "Sleep after eating, the barley rice made by my uncle , you are not the favorite to eat."

Hearing the word "Maifan", Yu Zhining was not sleepy in an instant, his eyes were dark and bright, and he was full of energy.

"A-Ning is not sleepy anymore, A-Ning wants to eat."

Yu Jinhuai stroked his soft hair and praised, "Good boy."

Yu Zhining, who was praised, laughed happily.

When he went out with Yu Zhining in his arms, the two wolfdogs at home had already started eating their bowls with their paws, and their meals had already been placed on the table. Meng Yunshu came in with chopsticks and spoons.

"Wake up? Eat."

Yu Zhining ate two small bowls of wheat rice. After eating, he walked around the yard a few times holding his round belly. After digesting, he took off his coat and climbed onto the kang to sleep.

Yu Jinhuai patted the ashes on his body, went out to Ye Chongshan's house, was stopped by Yu Shizhong when he passed by Yu Jinyue's house, and asked him to wait for a while, and then his uncle and nephew went to Ye Chongshan's house together.

Yu Jinlan, who wore a beautiful blue silk flower and a rabbit hairpin on her head, was holding the door frame of her home with both hands, looking out at the distant figures of his father and second brother.

When the villagers passed by her house, they noticed the silk flowers and hairpins on her head, and asked with a smile, "Xiao Lan, the flowers on her head were brought back by your second brother from Fucheng."

Yu Jinlan shook his head when he heard the words, met his aunt's suspicious eyes, hesitated for a while, and then said, "My father bought it."

In fact, Yu Jinhuai also bought it for her, but she prefers what her father bought for her.

The aunt in the village widened her eyes when she heard the words, and said jokingly, "Silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about, your father is long gone."

The aunt muttered, "Still lying to me."

Yu Jinlan immediately retorted: "That's not true, it's my father. My brother said that he is my father, and my second brother also said that he is my father."

"Hey." The aunt muttered in disbelief: "Is it really back? Didn't die?"

Thinking about it, she hurried towards home with the basket on her arm.

Yesterday, I heard from the head of the family that when Yu Jinhuai came back, there was a masked man behind him. Could it be Yu Shizhong, the second child of the Yu family?It would be really strange if it was really the second child of the Yu family.

No, she has to have a good talk with her good sisters.

Seeing her leaving in a hurry, Yu Jinlan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that by the afternoon, the village should know that her father was back, and from then on, she would no longer be a wild child.

Meng Yunshu wrote down the methods of making small snacks and cakes that he knew, and also brought a method of one or two tea fruits.

At noon yesterday, he asked Yu Jinyue and Yu Jinping if he wanted to go to Weiping Mansion with them to do the shampoo business. Now, they are even more reluctant to go far, Hua'an County is just right.

Relatives will always have some nasty things in the same business, not to mention that they can guarantee it now, but in the future, in the long run, who can guarantee that the money will not move people's hearts, they are making money in the food business, and Yu Jinping also said , he planned to co-author with Yu Jinyue to do business for another year or two, so he separated to do it alone.

Hearing what they said, both Meng Yunshu and Yu Jinhuai felt relieved, so Meng Yunshu told them, and then taught them some snacks, which they could choose by themselves, and then he and Yu Jinhuai would contribute some money as a shareholding. In the future, they only need to get dividends.

But Fangzi still has to pay the money. They can give less in the early stage, a little in two months, and when they earn money later, they can pay the money in one lump sum.

All the agreements were written in a deed and fingerprinted. Yu Jinhuai happened to be going to the county today, so he took the deed with him. After finishing the official seal, he can give the deed to Yu Jinyue and Yu Jinping.

When he said his thoughts, the two agreed.

So now Meng Yunshu is writing recipes, which are divided into two types, one is Western-style desserts, bread, etc., and the other is Chinese-style refreshments, it depends on how they choose, these two kinds of snacks are served in the same place There is no conflict at all.

Putting down the pen in his hand, Meng Yunshu picked up the paper and blew on it, and put it in the canteen after it dried.

They all said that after a few days, Yu Jinping and Yu Jinyue set aside an hour in the afternoon to study with him, and the two changed their studies, and before they left, they had to hand over all these things to them.

Just about to get up to see if Yu Zhining woke up?Suddenly, I heard the wind chime from the commissary.

Meng Yunshu ran to the gate and locked it from the inside, and went directly into the canteen in the yard.

As soon as he entered, he saw Na Ritu's figure, "Boss Meng." Na Ritu was still the same as before, greeting him with a silly smile.

"That Ritu." Meng Yunshu jokingly said, "Why don't you see Mr. Hua following you?"

That day, Ritu's face changed suddenly, he hooked his lips stiffly, scratched his head helplessly, stood there in embarrassment and stared back at Meng Yunshu blankly, he didn't know how to answer for a while, until he noticed the teasing in Meng Yunshu's eyes , suddenly realized, and smiled at him flatteringly.

Hastily asked: "Boss Meng, have you seen Mr.? Is Mr. a relative? Is Mr. okay?"

He asked three questions in a row when Meng Yunshu laughed straight. After he finished speaking, he replied: "Yes, Mr. is my husband's second uncle. We brought him to the village. He remembered everything when he saw his child." gone."

Listening to his words, Ritu was also happy for Mr. Hua that day, and then his eyes flashed a trace of loneliness. Now that Mr. has found his relatives, he will never go back to Mobei, and he will never go back to their tribe. .

Meng Yunshu saw his expression in his eyes, and when he was about to comfort him, he saw that he quickly adjusted his mood and returned to his smiling face. Seeing this, Meng Yunshu gave up his thoughts .

The main purpose of Ritu's visit this time was to inquire about the husband, and then to sell the goods.

"Boss Meng, I want some vermicelli and noodles." That day Ritu quickly reported what he needed, and explained: "After I ate it last time, people in the tribe have been thinking about it, but it's a pity that the canteen can't eat it every day. Come in, if you can buy dried noodles in Mobei."

"Yes, Ritu that day." Meng Yunshu said.

At first he wanted to start the business of handmade dried noodles, but now that he has the business of soap and shampoo, he no longer wants to do the handmade dried noodles. He fears that they will be too busy selling them to the villagers. When their business gets on the right track, I'm afraid that Hua'an County is their raw material base, so the business of handmade noodles will not work.

How about giving it directly to Lu Ru'an, and let him promote it in other villages in Chang'an City, so that everyone can eat and dress warmly.

After making up his mind, Meng Yunshu discussed with him after paying the bill to Na Ritu: "Naritu, there is a business that I don't know if you will take it or not?"

"What business?" Ever since Meng Yunshu gave them the wool and sweater business, the people in the tribe had no worries about food and clothing. Now that they heard Meng Yunshu's words, Ritu got serious and asked.

Meng Yunshu didn't make a joke, instead, he said plainly that his business was selling some gadgets, and he just needed wool, so he thought of that Ritu, but he needed them to send the wool to Weiping Mansion.

After Meng Yunshu finished talking about the pros and cons with him, she didn't urge him, but asked him to discuss it with his father after returning home.

Who knows that Ritu only thought for a while before agreeing.

Seeing his resolute attitude, Meng Yunshu didn't insist anymore, and said: "Next month, you will send three carts of wool first. There is a wharf in Weiping Mansion. You can drive the carriage to Qingning Mansion first, and then take a boat along the Yuhe River directly to Weiping Mansion. Pingfu, in this way, it can be faster, and there is no need to worry about the loss of goods."

This road is what Yu Shizhong told him. The land road is not only time-consuming but also easy to encounter yellow sand, but this road is different. Most of the ships are funded by the government, even if they are private. To walk by water, you also need to obtain traffic regulations from the government before you can walk.

Passing regulations are not easy to obtain. Not only do you need to check the three generations, but you also need a person to prove it as a guarantee, which is comparable to the imperial examination.

"Okay." Naritu agreed.

"How about signing the contract when you come?" Afraid that he would think too much that day, Meng Yunshu added, "I will pay you the deposit."

Ritu shook his head that day and said, "No, you taught us how to make wool and sweaters, Boss Meng. I'm not worried that you will break your promise."

Even so, before Ritu left that day, Meng Yunshu still gave him a deposit of five taels.

After processing two orders, Meng Yunshu left the canteen.

He was very accurate in timing, Yu Zhining woke up as soon as he entered the bedroom.

Leading him to sit in the yard, Meng Yunshu spread a bamboo mat on the ground, took out the Yu family's old cotton-padded clothes and quilts, and put the cotton in the basket, so that he and Yu Jinhuai could wash it together the next day, and then Send them to the cotton workshop in the village, play them again, make new bedding, put some at home, and bring the rest to Fucheng.

Yu Jinhuai won't be able to come back for a while. Before he left, Meng Yunshu brought him money to treat the county magistrate and several village chiefs to dinner, so he and Yu Zhining were the only ones in the house, and they used the leftover rice for lunch. Scrambled with eggs and spring vegetables.

When he was in the orphanage before, he had eaten shepherd's purse and egg dumplings. It was more than March at that time, and the spring planting in the village would be over in two days. After these two days of busy work, he went to look for shepherd's purse.

When I arrived in Fucheng later, it would be troublesome to eat fresh shepherd's purse.

When it was Youshi, Yu Jinhuai hadn't come back yet, Meng Yunshu couldn't help but think about it, lit a lantern and hung it at the door, and sat at the door looking at the road, only thinking about seeing his figure in the next moment.
