Watching the other party building a snowman, she handed him the tools; while the other party was having a snowball fight, she handed him the kneaded snowballs.
But the numb expression is like a tool.
Especially when I returned to Xiao's house, after dinner, I saw my silly biological father again.
After having dinner for the night, helping her clear away the dishes, and returning to the courtyard in the mountain, Qian Daniu took her to talk alone.
"little girl."
Da Niu Qian didn't say anything, she just buried her head in burning the kang.
Qian Daniu: "After my father regained consciousness, he couldn't bear the blow of the family separation, especially the death of my grandfather and grandma was related to my father... He is such a filial person, but he has thoughts of committing suicide. We must understand him."
Qian Daniu: "He is still alive, which is good enough."
"……Um."
Qian Daniu: "As long as we are in Xiao's house, people in the village will not dare to point fingers at us."
"What about you, brother?"
Qian Daniu subconsciously turned his head away, not daring to look at the big girl, but he recalled what his father did during the day. What is the difference between him now and his father who escaped from reality?
After feeling disgusted with himself, Qian Daniu met Da Niu's eyes and said, "Niu, I never told you because I didn't want to be looked down upon by you. But now that dad is like this, I can't hide it from you anymore.
I sold myself to the Xiao family as a slave."
Seeing that Da Niu was not very emotional, the other party must have known about it. Qian Daniu breathed a sigh of relief and said at the same time: "Niu, you are still free. When the time comes, I will save enough money and find you a good family.
Don’t worry, the Qian family won’t drag you to death..."
Qian Da Niu interrupted: "What kind of good family?"
"Of course he is a good family who loves you and protects you."
"Farmer?"
Qian Daniu frowned and misunderstood the other party's meaning, "With our current situation, if you want to marry into a rich family, you can only become a concubine. No matter what, a straight lady is better than a maid or a concubine.
Sister, listen to my brother, I would rather marry a husband whose family is poorer, and then work hard to get ahead. Brother will help you then."
"So brother, what do you mean, when I get older, you can give me a poor family, as long as they love me and love me? It doesn't matter that I will go back to eating glutinous rice, and I won't finish my first meal in the middle of the night.
Are you often woken up by hunger, and you don’t even have the ability to drink enough water in the summer?”
Qian Daniu was asked.
Qian Da Niu: "Brother, why are you so pedantic?"
Qian Da Niu: "Do the people in Jiuli Village know that you sold yourself to the Xiao family? I have heard more or less that they are angry that even with our family background, we can climb up to the old lady, and we can also be beaten by the old lady.
Take a fancy to.
What does our family have? Is it my father who can fool anyone before he is cured, or us who are helpless? When you sell yourself to the Xiao family, all you lose is your freedom, what do you get? New clothes, food
A full belly. Compared with these two things, what is freedom?
What is integrity? Is it more important than having enough food?
Brother, we have all been hungry. I never want to recall the experience of being so hungry that my stomach was filled with acid. Whatever the Xiao family wants, we will give it to them. What is more important than being well fed and clothed? I really want to get married.
Well, I’m the one who should regret it the most!”
Qian Daniu opened his mouth, but didn't utter a single word for a long time. Finally, he said: "So, you don't mind that my brother is now a slave in the Xiao family?"
"...Are you stupid? Have you ever seen a servant of a wealthy family who is so well-fed and well-dressed? If you really were a long-term worker recruited by the old lady, you should work with them, but now you have no choice but to follow some Xiao
During the fifteenth year of practicing your skills, Master Xiao Zhongli gave you guidance from time to time. Have you ever done any heavy work? Oh, yes, chopping vegetables... what kind of heavy work is this?
Brother, I don’t believe you haven’t realized yet that the Xiao family wants to train you.”
"...I can see it." He originally thought that his sister would mind his status as a slave, but now it seems that he is the one who cares more about him?
His sister is more liberal than he thought?
In fact, Qian Da Niu comforted him in turn: "You're good, I'm good, it's good for dad to be like this... He was living in pain when he was awake, and we might have to distract him to take care of him. At least now he doesn't have to think about anything.
, live in your own world, carefree.”
"But dad is easily deceived!"
"That was when dad was just sick!" Qian Da Niu: "Brother, haven't you found that dad now listens to you more? We can restrain dad. As long as he doesn't have contact with outsiders, maybe those bad things will not happen.
occur."
Qian Daniu: "I'll ask the old lady tomorrow how to draw up the charter."
He and Danniu Qian can't keep guarding their father all the time.
The next day.
Tang Zangyue heard the other party's intention and said: "Then let your father work with the fourth child first. There is no news in the wine cellar yet. I also have people watching in the dark. No one needs to be guarding during the day.
Otherwise, it will arouse suspicion. However, I heard that your father would be deceived when he first got into the accident, but you have restrained yourself a lot by controlling the food supply?"
Qian Daniu nodded, "Yes, Madam."
"You can start from this aspect and be able to control your father more mentally... It may be difficult in the early stage and cruel to your father, but it will be beneficial to your family in the future."
Qian Daniu opened his mouth, thought carefully, and then said: "Okay, madam, I will think about it carefully."
…
Soak the pepper seeds in warm water until they germinate and then plant them at the end of the month.
As for the restaurant's signature dishes, Tang Zangyue provided recipes, and Aunt Liu experimented repeatedly. Each dish had to be cooked dozens of times to control the taste to the best before settling on a dish. A total of fifty or sixty dishes were experimented, which cost a lot of money.
There are countless ingredients, how exaggerated...
After eating too much of one dish, even Tang Zangyue, who was trying it, had a grimace on his face, let alone the rest of the Xiao family.
In the end, Tang Zangyue made the decision and regarded the experimental products and failed products as welfare and gave them to the long-term and short-term workers of the Xiao family. During this period, the Xiao family's great achievements set off a wave of enthusiasm in Jiuli Village.
Of course, the recipe was finalized.
They are all home-cooked dishes belonging to the north.
The three delicacies of Di Sanxian, Guobao Pork and Pork Stewed Vermicelli are the signature dishes. The reason why Di Sanxian is on the list is that it tastes really good, and it is completely vegetarian but has a lot of oil and water, and the price is not high, so ordinary people can afford it.
Affordable.
The signature dishes that were not selected do not taste bad, but are not as good as these three dishes. However, they can be written on the menu to attract diners.
The restaurant is not big and the space is limited. It is expected that there will be packing activities, so she prepared the brocade boxes early. There are two types of brocade boxes, with the consumption of ten taels of silver as the dividing line. Those exceeding ten taels are naturally precious gold brocade boxes
.The price of the brocade box itself is one tael of silver.
Braised noodles can also be set up outside the restaurant, but the noodles are eliminated and can be packaged, but guests need to bring their own pots and bowls.
Everything is carefully arranged, and the New Year's Eve will arrive at the end of the month.
Tang Zangyue sealed the New Year's money for his children early.
Boys and girls were treated equally and were given ten taels of silver. Only Xiao Zhonglu, Xiao Zhongli, Xiao Yuechun and the three older children were each given one hundred taels of silver.
