Su Ming picked up the handkerchief and wiped his nose, then took a breath. Doesn't it look like he caught a cold?
Always feeling like someone was talking about him behind his back, Su Ming tightened his cloak.
"It's probably because the weather suddenly turned cold. By the way, there are a lot of people ordering hot pot these days. Please tell the chef to prepare more dishes."
Su Ming said to the waiter who moved the brazier to the desk, and the waiter responded.
Seeing the waiter leave the room, Su Ming looked at the account book again with a headache.
Although the hotpot business is booming, after the snow fell at the same time, there were many fewer types of edible vegetables.
With fewer things for customers to iron, they naturally make less money!
Nowadays, the store can barely survive by selling vegetables grown in the owner's farm with a hot spring.
But if you want to sell this hot pot business in all branches across the country, it's impossible for every branch to have a hot spring bath, right?
The most important thing is that this vegetable can only be planted near the hot spring, and it cannot be grown far away.
As a result, there are naturally fewer and fewer vegetables available.
Ning Pengpeng didn't know that shopkeeper Su was also worried about the lack of vegetables!
Although Ning Pengpeng did this, she didn't know if it would work out.
However, God obviously felt her sincerity, and also Ning Laoer's sincerity. Ning Youshou treated these pepper seedlings like precious eggs, and brought the charcoal basin in on time every day to keep the bamboo shed warm.
At night, cover the pepper seedlings with an extra layer of straw to keep them warm.
After half a month of this, these pepper seedlings bloomed!
"Ask Mian'er to borrow her brush. Remember, use the brush to point these flower buds and click them all over."
The snow is getting heavier and heavier. Now every morning when I wake up, the snow is one foot thick.
Therefore, in this winter, even if the peppers bloom, without bees for pollination, the peppers will not bear fruit!
Fortunately, Ning Pengpeng had heard about artificial pollination.
Anyway, whether it works or not, let’s try this operation first and then talk about it.
In other bamboo sheds where peppers were not grown before, Ning Pengpeng divided two types of rapeseeds and scattered them.
One is the commonly eaten cabbage, and the other is taro.
In addition to these two things, Ning Pengpeng actually wants to grow one more thing, and that is mushrooms.
Who can eat hot pot without eating mushrooms?
It's just that this thing seems to be really hard to find here.
Wait until she goes to shopkeeper Su to talk about the straw curtain, then talk to him.
After all, the owner of Chunfeng Tower could even find the peppercorns and butter. It must be easy to find the mushroom she wanted.
However, except for mushrooms, she unexpectedly found no sweet potatoes, potatoes, or yams here.
Forget the first two, it’s really strange why there is no yam!
In addition to yams, there is also spinach.
Spinach, in particular, is the most convenient to grow in a greenhouse and is also a must-eat vegetable for hot pot.
Unfortunately, maybe because it is too remote here, I have never seen it.
Ning Pengpeng is not sure whether these dishes, which are very common in modern times, are available now or not.
Anyway, whether there is one or not, let the owner of Chunfeng Tower help you find it!
This time, it was Pei Yan's turn to sneeze hard at home.
"Ayan, after the Chinese New Year, are you still going to Mingzhou Mansion?"
Pei Zhao put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Pei Yan.
"Brother, I am not a person who can stay with you.
There are too many people in the capital who dislike me. If I stay here, others will be unhappy and I will feel uncomfortable too.
It's better to go to Mingzhou Mansion and be alone and carefree."
Pei Yan had such a bohemian look on his face that Pei Zhao couldn't help but frown.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Don't worry, big brother. In my heart, you will always be my big brother, and we are brothers.
Others belong to others, and you belong to you.
There are some things that others won’t believe even if I say them.
So, I just need to be clear about it myself.
As long as I leave the capital, everyone will be at ease, why not?"
Pei Yan knew that Pei Zhao wanted to talk to him again, so he immediately raised his hands and begged for mercy.
"Sir, Mr. Yuan, the Minister of Guanglu Temple, would like to see you."
Before Pei Zhao could say anything, followers came from outside the study to report.
"Okay, brother, you can get down to business!
I will go back to my yard first, and when I leave, I will have a good drink with my eldest brother and have a long talk."
When Pei Yan heard what his entourage said, he quickly stood up, held hands with Pei Zhao, and quickly opened the door and walked out.
Pei Zhao had no choice but to look at Pei Yan's back and sigh.
As a junior, even if he knew what he was doing was wrong, he couldn't say much about his elders' affairs.
Pei Yan finally got out of his eldest brother's study. He was just walking towards his yard when he was stopped halfway.
"Second Young Master, the eldest lady invites you."
The smile on Pei Yan's face slowly disappeared and he stared at the gray-haired old woman in front of him.
She is the dowry maid of Mrs. Shen, the head of the Pei Mansion, and is now Mrs. Shen's right-hand man.
Mrs. Shen is also Pei Yan’s aunt.
How dare he not go when his aunt-in-law invites her?
But, thinking about the promise I just made to my eldest brother, I’m afraid I have to break the promise!
Sure enough, when Pei Zhao was busy and asked about Pei Yan, he found out that this time Pei Yan didn't even have a New Year's family dinner and left with his servants!
After learning the news, Pei Zhao locked himself in his study and did not come out for a whole afternoon.
Today's Pei family is like a burning fire cooking oil and flowers blooming in brocade.
Every step I take is the possibility of falling off the single-plank bridge at any time.
It's a pity that no one in the Pei family, except his second brother Pei Yan, can understand and understand the anxiety in his heart.
Now that his mother was treating Pei Yan like this, Pei Zhao couldn't help but wonder whether his filial piety was correct.
"Second Young Master, Madam has gone too far. How could she not even let you attend the New Year's family banquet and just kick you out!"
Wang Dong, Pei Yan's follower, looked unconvinced.
This side of the capital is definitely colder and better than the side of Mingzhou Prefecture.
The second young master brought a lot of good things when he came back this time.
But I didn't expect that these people in Pei's house would still treat the second young master in the same way after taking things. They didn't show mercy at all because they took things!
This is what Wang Dong is most angry about. Since he looks down on him so much, if he can, he shouldn't accept the gift from the second young master!
"You also said that she is the eldest lady and my aunt.
My father didn't say anything, but since my aunt has spoken, if I don't obey, wouldn't it be disobedient?"
Pei Yan smiled, looking used to it.
In fact, since he became sensible, he has known that his status is embarrassing.
Later, the two brothers Pei Zhao and Pei Yan, at a young age, made the Pei family feel what it means to have two scholars in one discipline.
It's a pity that Pei Yan's intelligence is what the mistress of the house, Shen, least wants to see.
