Chapter 40 The chicken wants to stew mushrooms

"Dad, this craft is quite good!" Li Mingzhi first scooped up a bowl of mushroom soup to drink.

Old Man Li said proudly from the side: "It was your mother who was there to guide me."

"Pfft, cough, cough, cough, I want to drink water." Li Mingli suddenly coughed.

Old Man Li: "Look at you, you haven't eaten for hundreds of years!"

Li Mingli took a sip of water and said slowly, "Dad, no, try this dish, it's too delicious."

Zhao Yunlan and others took off their chopsticks one after another and said, "Lianluo, it is indeed very leisurely!"

Everyone drank water, and Li Mingzhi joked: "Dad, this was also taught by my mother!"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense. Your father is so virtuous. He listened to me well at first. After the two dishes were finished, he was so proud! He had to drive me away. I didn't want to see him like that, so he left.

Yes, the next few dishes are his own creations."

"Hahahaha, dad, our family can't afford to eat salt like this now." Li Mingyi also joked.

Old Man Li blushed and had a thick neck: "I can't stop your mouths even if you eat. Hurry up. If you don't like it, don't eat it."

The children couldn't hold back their laughter, so Zhao Yunlan had no choice but to take the dish and rinse it with water before putting it back into the pot.

Old Man Li was sulking: "Hurry up and finish your meal. After cleaning up, let's talk about today's situation."

By the time everyone sat in the main room again, Old Man Li was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear because of today's income.

"Hahaha, I'm almost close to two taels of silver today." Old Man Li said.

"Well, dad, our tea eggs have been prepared a lot today, plus the old customers brought new customers yesterday, basically everyone knows that our hot and sour noodles in the past three days cost three pennies, and everyone wants to catch up on the bargains these days.

The price. Today’s pot helmets are also selling well, and many of them are packaged and taken back.” Zhao Yunlan said about today’s situation.

Li Mingli responded: "Yes, we can't even sit at the table today, and there are quite a few people waiting outside."

Li Mingyi: "My arms twitched when I kneaded the dough today."

Mrs. Wang felt sorry for her children: "Well, you should go back and rest quickly! You have to get up early tomorrow."

"Mom, sister-in-law, I'm thinking of setting up a bed in the cash box after I've been busy these days, and I'll rest there at night. Otherwise, I'll have to carry a pot of eggs there every morning, and I'll have to get up early in the morning."

Zhao Yunlan: "Can I sleep there?"

Li Mingyi: "I've seen it. I can barely sleep alone. This way I can sleep a little longer in the morning and you don't have to rush here in such a hurry."

Zhao Yunlan thought for a while: "Well, that's good too."

In ancient times, it took only an hour or two to go to a town, and most of the time was spent on the road.

Zhao Yunlan thought that after repaying the village chief's money, she asked Old Man Li to look at the cows, so that he could help with the farm work.

One night, I stayed in bed again.

When Li Mingyi got up, his arms seemed to be more sore than yesterday. Zhao Yunlan and the others did not get up, so Li Mingyi had no choice but to knock on the door to wake people up.

Going up to the room, Mr. Wang's old man Li was still woken up.

A world where Xiaobao is the only one sleeping soundly.

Zhao Yunlan only made a hundred tea eggs last night. Zhao Yunlan also told Li Mingyi that after today, only sixty eggs will be supplied every day. After all, eggs are sold and given away these days. Yesterday's

One hundred and twenty is just right. In recent days, everyone is trying to find fresh flavors to sell so well.

Moreover, there were no breeding farms in ancient times, so it was really inconvenient to buy eggs, as one had to collect them from family to family.

Hey, hey, hey, breeding farm.

Zhao Yunlan was so excited that she almost fell off the bullock cart.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Li Mingmei asked, everyone looked at her.

"I thought of another idea, but I won't tell you yet. Hahaha, I have to work hard today." Zhao Yunlan cheered everyone up happily.

"come on!"

In the afternoon, Zhao Yunlan and others packed up and closed the shop.

"Sister-in-law, today is easier than yesterday." Li Mingmei said, after all, there was no wrong payment today.

"Well, there are indeed fewer customers today. After all, no matter how cheap it is, you can't eat it every day. Also, we are more proficient today, and we will clearly feel the decrease in customers tomorrow."

"Today, several large merchants came to buy pot helmets and tea eggs." Li Mingli said.

Li Mingyi: "Yes, these big families have many people. They can buy dozens or twenty of them at a time."

Li Mingzhi: "Hey, I've been busy these three days.

Zhao Yunlan: "Second brother, I told you to call your brothers over to eat rice noodles, but I have been so busy these days that I didn't even ask you."

Li Mingyi: "Well, it's the opening day. A few of them saw that I was too busy to come in. I'll invite them to eat tomorrow."

Zhao Yunlan: "Well, after all, I came here and was busy cleaning the shop. You should go home tonight and pick up your things before staying here tomorrow."

Li Mingyi: "Yeah! Let's go, I'll lock the door."

The country road was windy and sunny, and the five of them were chatting and laughing along the way, accompanied by the mooing of the old cow.

"Mom, Dad, we are back." Li Mingyi shouted, these three days were really fulfilling.

As soon as Li Mingmei entered the room, she said: "We earned 1,500 Wen today. Our income in these three days was more than 40 Liang. Excluding the cost of buying tea, seasonings, eggs and the cooker and stove in the store, we made a net profit of 22,800 Wen."

Zhao Yunlan: "Well, the third brother will be at home tomorrow to take care of the family. My little sister and I will help out for a few more days. Then the second brother and the fourth brother will have a harder time on you."

Mrs. Wang: “Having said so much, let’s eat first!”

Li Mingzhi: "Isn't it my father who cooked today's dinner again?"

Old Man Li, who was originally happy, immediately collapsed when he heard this and said angrily: "I won't kill you~"

Zhao Yunlan tasted it: "Today's dish is okay, the taste is moderate."

Li Mingzhi quietly stuck out his tongue. In this world where Old Man Li was the only one injured, everyone else was happily eating.

After dinner, Zhao Yunlan went to find Wang: "Mom, when I come back tomorrow, I will go to the village chief's house to pay back the money. Then I will ask my father and mother to come forward and talk about the sweet potato noodles."

Mrs. Wang: "Yes, I know. You can buy some wine in the town tomorrow and buy a piece of meat that will be thicker."

Zhao Yunlan: "Yes, okay, mother."

Zhao Yunlan originally wanted to talk about the breeding farm, but after thinking about it, she realized that it was too big a step to take, so she had to wait. She was afraid that she would not be able to protect her when the time came because she did not have support at home.

No problem! Zhao Yunlan chuckled: "Mom, which family in the village has chicks? Let's catch a few and raise them. The old hens at home can no longer lay eggs." They are suitable for eating. Zhao Yunlan didn't say the last sentence.

Come out, but Mrs. Wang can also understand that the two old hens have been laying fewer and fewer eggs recently, so they can only kill them and eat them.

Zhao Yunlan thought about the chicken stewed with mushrooms and that mouthful of fresh chicken soup. She felt her stomach and felt hungry again.

Wang looked at Zhao Yunlan's exposed expression and guessed what he was thinking, and quickly stopped Zhao Yunlan from fantasizing: "Er Gouzi's house seems to have chickens. I haven't been out for a long time and I don't know. You let your brother go and have a look."

Zhao Yunlan was interrupted from his fantasy and nodded in response.
