Chapter 37 Competing for invitations

After hurriedly returning home, Qin Lu saw that there was not much food at home, so she went to pick vegetables with Qin Tieniu. When they came back, Qin Erzhuang was already collecting firewood in the yard.

Seeing Qin Lu and the others carrying vegetables from afar, Qin Erzhuang felt doubtful and stood up to take the vegetables, "Lulu, what are you planning to study again?"

During this period of time, he had figured out his daughter's behavior. As long as she started to get ingredients, she would definitely be researching and cooking new foods, and they would be delicious every time. No matter what she did, he would support her.

"Dad, this dish is too much. We can't finish it and it will go bad easily if we can't sell it. So I plan to pickle it and wait to eat it later so that you can take it with you when you go out to chop firewood. It's delicious.

"

"Really, that's good." Qin Erzhuang smiled honestly and put the vegetables in the yard, "What do you need dad to do?"

"Dad, just take a rest. I'll just come with Tieniu." Qin Lu didn't want Qin Erzhuang to be too tired. She originally thought that if she came with Qin Tieniu, Qin Erzhuang could have a rest, but he answered and went directly.

Playing with dry firewood.

Qin Lu shook her head helplessly, but did not stop her. She just asked Qin Tieniu to start washing the picked vegetables and then began to dry them.

In addition to going to town to sell snacks these days, Qin Lu spends the rest of her time making pickles. Originally, their home was in a more conspicuous location in the village, but now she is going back and forth making vegetables in and outside the courtyard, which naturally attracts the attention of passing villagers.

, especially those village women who have nothing to do at home, are even more curious every day.

Some people passing by will also chatter a few words, "What do you think this girl is doing?"

"How could I know this?"

"Anyway, she has been acting weird during this time."

"that is."

The sound gradually faded away. Qin Lu shook her head and chuckled, continuing to make pickles without being affected at all. However, Qin Tieniu's face became gloomy because of their words, "Daughter-in-law, they talked about you."

"It's okay, Tieniu. It's okay to talk to other people. It doesn't matter what other people say." Qin Lu knew that sharing the same knowledge with them would only waste her time. She might as well use the time to make her own pickles.

Qin Tieniu was enlightened by Qin Lu, and he ignored the doubts of people passing by and concentrated on helping with the dishes.

That day happened to be when she was making pickles in the yard. The neighbor's aunt on the other side of the low wall was talking to the daughter-in-law from the village who came to visit. The two of them saw Qin Lu putting vegetables in the jar. They couldn't help but look at each other and whispered:

"These two young girls from the Erzhuang family have been busy working in the yard every day. The bells are clanging. What are they doing?"

"I saw her cooking. Could it be that she is making something to eat?"

“Can you still eat the food after it’s been made like this?”

The two of them really couldn't understand, so they went straight to Qin Lu's yard with doubts.

"Lulu, what are you doing?"

Qin Lu was rolling up her sleeves and lowering her head to put vegetables into the vat. When she heard the sound, she stood up holding the edge of the vat and said, "Auntie, why are you here?"

"You are busy working every day, and I don't know what you are doing. We are just curious."

Hearing the curiosity in their words, Qin Lu smiled and said: "Make pickles. These pickles can be kept longer and are easier to carry. When they are ready, my father can take them with him when he goes up the mountain to chop firewood."

After Qin Lu gave a brief explanation, the neighbor's aunt was so surprised that she couldn't speak. "Is it really edible?" or the little daughter-in-law in colorful clothes asked. Qin Lu nodded slightly, "Of course it is edible, and it's delicious."

Qin Lu took a vowed look at the two of them and saw that they were stunned in place. She didn't say much and continued to pickle the pickles.

When she finished sealing the jar, the aunt smiled awkwardly and said, "Then we won't bother you." Without waiting for her reply, the aunt dragged her daughter-in-law away and walked out of her yard. The two of them murmured: "Yeah.

I don’t know if it’s really edible.”

"Didn't Qin Lu say that we have to wait for a few days? Then we'll just see."

"Um."

They all wanted to see what Qin Lu's pickled pickles would look like in the end. She didn't care at all and still enthusiastically picked up the remaining vegetable roots on the ground. These were good things and she didn't waste them at all. She and Qin Tieniu were fussing over it again.

, to put them away.

Originally, she planned to put the pickles in a glass container, but she couldn't find any glass products either in the village or in the town, so she had no choice but to use a jar. This jar was indeed suitable for pickling pickles, but she couldn't see it.

The change of pickles can only come by counting the days.

The two of them worked hard for several days and finally got all the vegetables into the vat. Looking at the two large vats in the yard, Qin Lu looked at Qin Tieniu with relief and said, "Tieniu has worked hard for you these days, I will give you to you later."

You make delicious food."

"Daughter-in-law, I'm not tired, but I want to eat the food you cooked."

"good."

When Qin Lu saw Qin Tieniu's honest smile, the smile in her eyes became even stronger. Facing the setting sun, she looked at the lively courtyard and felt very satisfied. This comfortable life gave her the feeling of home. If only her life could be better.

Some would be better.

The story of her making pickles spread like wildfire in the village, and the villagers wanted to see what she could do in the end. She still ignored most people's attitude of watching the show and continued to go with Qin Tieniu at her own pace.

The town sells snacks and other snacks. If there is any difference from before, it should be that after the Han family's incident, everyone in the town knows that she is very good at her craftsmanship.

Everyone said that her skills were outstanding and that she was a rare good cook in the world. Many people even came here because of her reputation, hoping that she could work as a cook in their own restaurant.

Faced with the invitations from these shopkeepers, she did not completely reject them. After all, it was okay to take the time to cook and make some money, but she did not intend to go there as a permanent employee.

As Qin Lu's reputation grew, some people couldn't sit still. This person was the restaurant manager. The shopkeeper who looked down on her and wanted to deprive her of her secret recipe for snacks was now worried and frowning.

Looking at the sparse guests in the restaurant, there were a lot less than before. He knew that those guests had gone to other places. Now Qin Lu went to which restaurant to cook, and the people in the town went to eat at that restaurant. At first, he still

He used Qin Lu's snacks to attract customers, not wanting everyone to know how good they were as soon as they ate, and gradually there were fewer customers.

"Shopkeeper, today's turnover is 10% less than yesterday."

"Okay, I understand." The shopkeeper impatiently waved to the cashier to leave quickly. He frowned just in time to see Aunt Liu. The dim sum she made was okay, but it was far behind Qin Lu. If I had known this,

, he would have kept Qin Lu no matter how much money he spent, but now he regrets it to death.

He knew that continuing like this was not the answer, so after much thought, he finally decided to go find Qin Lu.

When he arrived at the market, he happened to see Qin Lu and Qin Tieniu closing the stall. His gloomy face instantly turned into a smile, "Miss Qin, what a coincidence, why are you here?"
