Boil the thin noodles in a large pot until they are eighty-cooked, then take them out. Immediately drain them twice with cold well water, take them out, pour sesame oil on them and mix well to prevent them from sticking.

There is ready-made fried sauce at home. She has made it in advance. It is hot and she has no appetite for eating. Make more fried sauce and it will not go bad if left. It is good to mix with rice, noodles, or steamed buns. choose.

Cut some shredded cucumber, pound some minced garlic, sprinkle some chopped dried chili peppers, fried peanuts, drizzle with a little hot oil, mix it like this, it won't be too fragrant at all.

The two maids were cooking noodles in the kitchen, Shen Hui prepared the side dishes, Huo Lin and Shen Changfu set up the table in the courtyard, Old Man Huo had just put the ducks into the cage, and when he came back after washing his hands, two basins of noodles were already placed on the table. , a stack of bowls.

Grandma Shen invited him to eat, and served him a bowl of noodles, a spoonful of fried sauce, and some side dishes.

"Enough is enough, I can't eat too much."

Grandma Shen also became familiar with the old man during this time, and advised: "There are a lot of noodles, eat as much as you can. In a few years, your teeth will be bad and you won't be able to eat even if you want to."

Uncle Huo took the bowl with a smile, "Go to bed on the kang as soon as it gets dark at night. If you eat too much, your stomach will bloat, so it's better to eat less."

Shen Qing looked at him and said: "After you have eaten later, just walk around me. Anyway, it's getting dark late now. It would be nice to come back for half an hour to take a shower and sleep. But don't go too far. It's also dark outside now." It’s not peaceful.”

Sun Xi was beaten so badly that Sun Zi Ming would definitely not give up. There were old and new grudges between them, so there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be another night attack.

It seems that from now on, their family will have a night watchman.

Shen Yan had something on her mind. No matter how delicious the noodles were, she couldn't eat them.

Knowing that Shen Qing was going to have a showdown with her parents, she had been following Shen Qing just now, trying to find an opportunity to intercede with her, but she must not say it too harshly and give her some room.

Earlier in the backyard of the restaurant, Qian's mother had spoken to her sincerely. After hearing this, she was deeply moved.

It is not easy for a mother with nothing to do for her son.

Moreover, Qian’s mother also promised her that if they really have feelings for each other in the future, it’s not impossible for them to be equal wives. It’s better than being a peasant couple, right?
Isn't there a saying?

I would rather be the concubine of a rich man than the wife of a poor man.

She also felt that it was so unreasonable for someone like Shen Qing to think about making money all day long and not consider getting married at all.

The daughter's family will eventually marry as a wife. Instead of regretting it when she gets older in the future, it is better to plan for herself now.

"Yan'er, why don't you eat? Is it hot? Or is the food not to your liking? Hey, I see you have lost weight. Are you not used to living here? Let's stay one night today and go with my mother tomorrow morning. Go back, our fields have been sorted out, your father said he wants to replant sweet potatoes, get the seedlings from Shen Qing, when you go back tomorrow you go to the fields with your mother and plant them quickly so that I can fall asleep at night." Zhou Laidi. I am very worried. In their hometown, if they want to make a living, they still have to farm, but it would be even better if they could do some small business with Shen Qing.

After she said the above, she didn't care what her daughter thought, and looked at Shen Qing, "Girl, how is your roast duck business lately? Are you short of manpower? If you are short of manpower, you must tell me. We are your own family. How much do you give to others?" Just give me the salary as usual, no matter how much it is, I don’t have any objection."

Shen Changfu stopped eating noodles in embarrassment, "She has enough people here, and we still have a lot of work, how can you come here." Zhou Laidi glared at him, "What we have at home is just some replanting work, you are alone You can do it. When Yan'er comes back, just ask her to help you. Our family is short of money now. If we don't think about ways to find new opportunities, we won't be able to get it in the future."

Shen Changfu stopped talking. This time, they had to pay taxes and grain because their family didn't have enough grain, so they had to pay for it with money.

Many families in their village did not have any money to save, so they had no choice but to sell their livestock, and some even sold their cattle.

If you don't sell it, you won't make it. If you can't get enough money, you will have to be arrested in a temporary jail in the town. When the money is almost collected, you will be taken to the county jail together. We will figure it out when the time comes. In addition to making up for the taxes and grain, you also have to pay fine.

As soon as these words came out, the people lamented and complained.

Some people refused to accept the order and came out to make trouble. As a result, they were beaten by the policemen. Not only were they injured, they couldn't even get any medicine. I don't know what the root of the disease was later!

The situation in their village is pretty good, but I heard that some villages are about to flee.

Granny Shen was also anxious, "Girl Qing, your second uncle's family is having a hard time. If I can, help you, or find a way for them to make money. You always have an idea."

Shen Qing pondered for a moment, "Then I will leave the spicy fish nuggets recipe to the second aunt. The second uncle will go fishing, and the second aunt will make it at home. Shen Yan can also help. Once it is done, I will pick it up and sell it in the market. If The quality is good, and you can take it to a restaurant, but you have to run it yourself, and I won’t care about what happens next.”

Zhou Laidi was about to be happy after hearing the beginning, but the more she listened, the faster the smile on her face faded, "Ah? Didn't you have connections before? You also had business dealings with the shopkeeper of Hongfu Restaurant. Can you help me?" If we just say something, can't it be done? Your second uncle doesn't know how to speak, so let him find a way. How can he be that good?"

Shen Hui felt unhappy and said on behalf of her sister: "Second aunt, what you cook is what you cook. Although the recipe is the same, the taste of each family's cooking must be different. This is like saying that we all know how to cook, but I see Which restaurant's food tastes the same? So you make the food, take it to the restaurant, and ask the shopkeeper to try it. If he thinks it's good, then keep it. If he thinks it's not good, you can just forget it. Don't worry about Qing'er. Banner, you must know in your mind whether a favor is good or not."

Shen Qing was not very happy either. He was always jealous when he saw others making money. When it was his turn, he was afraid of wolves and tigers behind him. He only wanted to take advantage and did not want to pay.

She also lowered her tone and said, "My sister is right. Anyway, I have told you how to do it. It's up to you whether you want to do it or not. At most, I can guarantee that your family will not starve to death." It was really a desperate situation. She would reach out and give him a hand instead of watching the second wife fall, as that would be bad for her.

Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, she was about to start talking.

On the kang in the east room, the Shen family gathered together, except Shen Feng, who couldn't sit still and went to play with Huo Lin.

Granny Shen and Aunt Zhou were sitting cross-legged on the kang, twisting cotton threads. Shen Hui moved a small stool and sat on one side to collect the soles of her shoes. Her sister ran around all day, and her shoes were very worn out. She basically had to make a pair for her every month.

Although there are two more handy girls in the family now, she still has to make her sister's personal belongings with her own hands.

Shen Yan stood against the door with her hands behind her back, looking embarrassed.

Second Uncle Shen squatted aside. He wanted to smoke a dry cigarette, but he didn't dare to do it in front of Shen Qing. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
