Dressed as a blacksmith

On the second day, Aunt Wu took care of delivering meals to Mrs. Qiao Wang. She went to Mrs. Zhang's house early in the morning to cut the meat and bought a big stick bone.

Seeing this, the people around couldn't help but ask, "Oh! Aunt Wu, did the family get rich? Cut the meat early in the morning."

Aunt Wu just wanted others to see her cut meat. She said: "How can our family be so rich? Brother Yuan honored his grandma and asked me to cook meat for her grandma every three days. Burn bone soup for drinking, and even pay me!"

When the people around heard that it belonged to the Yu family, they couldn't feel sour, because the gap was too big, and they had to eat meat every now and then.

Then someone asked again, "Why doesn't he do it himself?"

Before Aunt Wu could say anything, someone said first, "Brother Yuan is doing business in the county! How can he have time? His mother-in-law is at home, but there is no reason for her to cook for his grandma, right?"

The people around heard it as well, but they turned sour on Aunt Wu's job.Don't they cook a meal every three days? They can cook it every day.Why didn't such a good job fall on me, it seems that I usually have to walk more with the Yu family.

Everyone had different thoughts, but Aunt Wu didn't care about it, and went home humming a little tune.The first meal cooked for Aunt Qiao must be delicious!

Xu Xiuhua smelled it in the yard, and spat: "It's really powdered into the coffin, and eating meat!"

Her youngest son, Qiao Lifan, cried and said, "Mom, I want to eat meat too!"

Xu Xiuhua slapped him twice on the buttocks angrily, "What to eat! The food in the house is all soaked in water, and your father still doesn't bring money home, wait to drink the northwest wind!"

Ever since Qiao Yuan got married, she had to do all kinds of work at home, and her temper became worse.She was so angry that she turned her head and saw that Qiao Yingying was still combing her hair. She became even angrier and shouted, "What kind of comb do you comb? Who will you comb it for? Hurry up and come to work!"

Now that there is no Qiao Yuan at home, when Xu Xiuhua is angry, she always likes to pick up Qiao Yingying to vent her anger.

Qiao Yingying muttered: "Didn't I just finish the pot?"

"Do you still dare to say it?" Xu Xiuhua put down the things in her hands and came over to pinch her, she was still cursing, "You really think you are the eldest lady of the county? You lose money! How did you get out? It's actually not as good as that little bastard! I don't think that Zhang Wensheng is coming to look for you anymore!"

Qiao Yingying was about to explain that Brother Wen Sheng was too busy studying, so Aunt Wu and her daughter-in-law came to the door with meat.

The first time Xu Xiuhua saw the Wu family coming to the door with things, pretending to be begging her for something, and was about to taunt her, she realized that the Wu family was going to the east wing.

She hurriedly said: "The Wu family! What are you doing?"

Aunt Wu was not afraid of her, she held the dishes steadily and said loudly: "Brother Yuan is filial to his grandma, please ask me to bring them here."

Xu Xiuhua was furious immediately, whether the old man was short of food or drink at her house, and Qiao Yuan needed to send something to eat, didn't this slap her in the face?

She was about to go forward to reason madly, but suddenly smelled a smell of meat, rolled her eyes, and turned to the east wing and shouted loudly: "Mother, Brother Yuan brought you something to eat."

She went on to say: "From the Wu family, it's fine if I come, you can go back."

Aunt Wu sneered, "That can't be done, I have to watch Brother Yuan and his grandma finish eating. Otherwise, if it gets into someone else's belly, how can I tell?"

"What do you mean?" Xu Xiuhua wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Wu Erping's family.

Qiao Wang just came out at this time, "Wu's family, why are you here?"

Aunt Wu said with a smile: "Auntie, you are blessed! The meat cut by brother Yuan, he has no time to spare, let me make it for you to eat!"

She gave Wu Erping's family a wink, and Wu Erping's family hurriedly helped Qiao Wang back to her room. As she walked, Aunt Wu said loudly: "The grandson is filial to grandma. It would be heartless if someone stopped him." !"

Xu Xiuhua wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qiao Yingying.

When Aunt Wu and Wu Erping's family entered Qiao Wang's bedroom, Xu Xiuhua turned her head and slapped Qiao Yingying, "What are you stopping me for? Eating the inside out!"

"I'm just... just because I'm afraid that it will affect our family's reputation!" Qiao Yingying looked at her mother who had loved her so much in disbelief, and ran out with her face covered in grievance.

She is going to find her brother Wen Sheng and ask him to marry her quickly!

In the room, Qiao Wang began to cry after taking a bite of meat. How long has it been since he had the smell of meat?When the family was in good condition a few years ago, there was still a smell of meat from time to time. Although Xu Xiuhua always had a weird look every time she served it to the table, she still had the smell of meat at any rate.But ever since Qiao Liye failed the boy's exam three times, Qiao Guangzhi didn't want to go home, and the family's situation deteriorated day by day.

Aunt Wu also felt sad when she saw it, so she hurriedly coaxed her to be happy and said, "I'm afraid your teeth are not good, and this meat will be rotten if you stew it, you should eat more."

Qiao Wangshi wiped away her tears, and said a little worriedly: "The Yu family won't say anything, right?"

"How can people say that? Brother Yuan bought it with his own money!" Aunt Wu relented her heart.

Qiao Wang was puzzled, "Brother Yuan earned the money?"

Seeing that she didn't know, Aunt Wu told Qiao Wang about how Qiao Yuan did business to make money recently.She also admired Qiao Yuan, a little brother, for being so thoughtful.

After hearing this, Qiao Wang finally laughed, "Brother Yuan is just like his father, he is a promising man."

When Qiao Yuan came back from the shop in the afternoon, Aunt Wu showed him the weaving basket and told him about it.

This was already in Qiao Yuan's expectation, no matter how angry Xu Xiuhua was, he couldn't stop him from delivering food to Qiao Wang, he smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm sorry."

Aunt Wu waved her hand and said that this is what she should do with the money, and the two turned to talk about the basket.Qiao Yuan ordered three kinds at Wu's house, one is for cakes like a tray, the other is for baskets on the shelves, and the other is for small bamboo boxes for seven or eight inch steamed buns.Aunt Wu's basket weaving skills are really good, and they all suit Qiao Yuan's wishes.

He then said: "Auntie, I want twenty for the tray, which is calculated at five Wen each. The other two kinds need ten each, is it possible to count at Ten Wen each?"

"That's all right?" Aunt Wu was surprised, she didn't expect things to go so smoothly, she subconsciously asked, "How much is it in total?"

"Three hundred Wen." Qiao Yuan immediately gave her the answer.

Aunt Wu is ecstatic, weaving baskets is not tiring, and there is no capital, isn't this a net profit?Moreover, her family knows how to weave this kind of baskets, and they can definitely make them in at most three days.Now is the slack season, it is not easy to earn this money!

Qiao Yuan first paid her two hundred Wending money, and then told her to pay attention to the fact that there must be no barbs on the outside of the basket.Aunt Wu promised again and again that she would definitely get things done, and then happily ran home with two hundred copper coins.

Today I'm going to try making millet crisps and multi-flavored peanuts, Qiao Yuan deliberately came back early, and Yu Dameng is still in the shop.

"Which of you two is going to call Mother and Brother Liu?"

Qiao Yuan sent the twin brothers, Yu Shanwu was so focused on the delicious food that he didn't want to move, he was kicked by Yu Shanwen, and then Yu Shanwen went to call someone by himself.

Yu Shanwu actively expressed: "Brother Yuan, what can I do to help?"

Qiao Yuan arranged for him a job of grinding seasoning powder, and cleaned the millet and soaked it first.

To make crispy rice, millet needs to be soaked for an hour in advance, so Qiao Yuan started to prepare for making multi-flavored peanuts.

As soon as Lin Cuifen brought Brother Liu, the peanuts were quickly peeled.

There is no oven at home, so they can only use fried ones. Qiao Yuan said while frying peanuts: "When the shop is finished, let the mason come to build an oven at home, and I will make roast duck for you to eat."

Brother Liu was so greedy that his mouth was watering when he heard it.

Lin Cuifen smiled and said, "Okay, when the oven is ready to use, I'll go buy two ducks and pack them in advance."

The family is no longer in debt, and she has earned a lot of money this time, and she is more and more willing to eat.

After Qiao Yuan fried the peanuts, he boiled the sugar into syrup, then added the seasoning he asked Yu Shanwu to grind, stirred well, put in the peanuts until they were fried dry, and the multi-flavored peanuts were ready.

Yu Shanwen tasted one and said, "No wonder it's called a multi-flavored peanut. It has sweet, salty and spicy flavors."

Yu Shanwu and Brother Liu can only praise the food.

Lin Cuifen also found it delicious, and she said, "This is good with wine."

Seeing that the small pot they tried was about to be caught by them, Qiao Yuan said: "Then make another pot, and Dad will come back later to have a drink."

Lin Cuifen and brother Liu Yu Shanwen peeled the peanuts, and Yu Shanwu continued to grind the seasoning for the rice crust.Qiao Yuan crushed the soaked millet, added flour, eggs, salt and pepper and kneaded it into a dough.After waking up, roll it into thin slices, slice it, and deep-fry it slowly over low heat until it is golden brown. When you take it out of the pan and sprinkle the ingredients, the millet crispy rice is ready. Once you bite into it, it is crunchy, and everyone loves it.

Qiao Yuan mixed the two into four bowls and asked Yu Shanwen and Yu Shanwu to send one bowl each to the village head's family, Zhang Tuhu's family, Wu's family and Qian's family, all of whom had helped pave the cobblestone roads for them before.

Zhao Laifu was very happy when he received it. All the dishes made by Uncle Yuan from the Yu family were delicious.Grandma poured it into his own bowl for him, and he couldn't stop eating.

The village head was puzzled, the family usually didn't miss the grandson's delicious food, right?So, he pinched a multi-flavored peanut and tasted it, and then the bowl came into his hand.He lovingly patted his eldest grandson's head and said, "I'll save Grandpa for a drink later, and I'll buy you candy cakes tomorrow."

......

Lin Cuifen and Qiao Yuan waited for a long time to prepare the meal before Father Yu and Yu Dameng came back.

"Why did you come back so late today?" Lin Cuifen was a little anxious, afraid that something had happened.

Father Yu said: "There have been more orders for graters and paring knives in the past few days. Da Meng and I want to catch up with more work, so that the money will not be earned by the Ma family."

Qiao Yuan snatched the basket from Yu Shanwu's hand, pinched two peanuts and stuffed them into Yu Dameng's mouth, saying, "Money is endless. Dad, you and Dameng can figure it out, but you must do what you can, don't get tired Broken body."

Yu Dameng was full of sweetness in his heart, staring at Qiao Yuan with bright eyes and smirking.

Now, it's completely dark.

But today he is sixteen, bright, and the meal is still served in the yard.

Father Yu really likes to eat multi-flavored peanuts, and he specially asked Yu Shanwen to go back to the old house and bring him wine.

The family couldn't help talking about the shop again, Qiao Yuan said his plan, "The shop hasn't been installed yet, and I have to continue trying to make dim sum in the past few days. It would be a rush to open it before coming to the guest building. I plan to wait Take care of the business of the guest building, get the final payment, buy two buddies, and open the business after you are fully prepared."

Father Yu and Lin Cuifen nodded. Their daughter-in-law is much smarter than them. If they don't understand, they try not to interfere with their children's affairs.

Yu Dameng didn't understand either, but he felt that what Fu Lang said was right.He thought to himself that if Fu Lang worked so hard to make money, he must work harder.
