Aunt Yang sat for a while and then left. Shen Yunxi wanted to leave some food for her, but she didn't agree.
After eating, Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin began to plan how to make the recipe!
Of the four acres of land, one and a half acres are used to build a house and a large yard, including a large kitchen. Shen Yunxi said that he would build an earth kiln oven in the kitchen in the future.
Mu Chenglin knew that it was used for baking food, but it seemed to be of greater use in Shen Yunxi's hands.
The main hall should be spacious. From now on, the reception of people and things cannot be placed in the yard. The bedrooms should have four master bedrooms, and each master bedroom should have a bathroom. Mu Chenglin had seen this approach before, but farmhouses were rarely built like this. .
In addition to the four master bedrooms, two small bedrooms are reserved for spare use, and one is reserved for storing sundries.
The remaining two and a half acres were used to build workshops to separate each ingredient.
The vinegar brewing workshop has a separate stove, rice and sugar jars, etc. Each jar is separated by a date.
The rest of the pickled cabbage shop, bean sprout shop, tofu shop, soy sauce shop, etc. are all arranged in this way.
Shen Yunxi also plans to keep a ledger in each workshop to determine the approximate profit from each recipe.
In addition to the existing workshops, there are two remaining workshops: the preserved egg workshop and the wine brewing workshop.
After getting rich in the past few days, Shen Yunxi began to collect preserved egg powder and liqueur koji.
She had been making tofu and soy beans these past few days, and she also felt Mu Chenglin's strange eyes. If she secretly added the fermentation in the wine, she would really lose her vest!
The process of making liqueur koji is not easy and requires relatively high temperature. She and Mu Chenglin have started making it in the past few days before the weather has completely cooled down!
If the business grows bigger later, the land next to it will be purchased and the workshop expanded.
After discussing this, Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin took the drawings to Lin Shugen.
They were not very familiar with the situation in the village, so they handed it over to the village chief, who supervised the work.
Because the village chief had not yet gone to the county to apply for the land deed, he notified the villagers first and would start construction three days later.
Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin discussed that the salary would be twenty cents a day and they would take care of the food!
Because the rice harvest is coming soon, we can’t delay the start of work. Otherwise, when the rice harvest is over and we have to plant wheat again, it will be really cold by then!
The village chief was happy to serve them. He issued a notice in the village, and those who wanted to work could come to him to sign up.
In addition, the Xia family's carriage came to Mu's house every morning to bring goods, and for a while, the entire Mu family became a topic of conversation after dinner in Qingmu Village.
The ones who regret the most are Liu and Shen Pingping. They struggled for a long time and found nothing. Shen Pingping's reputation was ruined and Liu was beaten half to death.
Now the Mu family is going to build a new house. I heard that the house is very big, not smaller than the Shen family. In addition to the house, there is also a workshop.
The most aggressive person was Mrs. Shen. If she had known that Shen Yunxi would be determined to stay in the Mu family, she would definitely not have accepted only a hundred and twenty taels as a betrothal gift!
It’s really a loss!
When it was time to start work, Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin were getting busier and busier. Fortunately, Shen Yunxi's health had recovered. She had eaten well at Mu's house these past few days, and she had also raised some meat. As thin as before.
Mu Chenglin cooks the food, and Shen Yunxi, Aunt Huang, and Yang Xiaomi serve as assistants.
Mu's mother wants to help, but there are still many jars at home, and Shen Yunxi is worried that when they are not at home, jealous people will come to cause trouble.
These jars now are not the same pickled vegetable jars that were broken by Mrs. Shen. Some of these jars are almost ready for pickling, while others have taken a lot of effort to make.
On the first day of work, Mu Chenglin made fried tofu, stir-fried bean sprouts, pickled fish and stewed meat for everyone. The staple food was white rice.
Except for the stewed pork, the other three dishes were all new dishes, and everyone ate them very well. Smart people have already guessed that the business of the Mu family and the Xia family should be related to these new dishes.
Old Mrs. Shen also went, taking Shen Wenjun with her. She was not here to eat and drink, but she felt uncomfortable and wanted to take a look.
But Shen Wenjun's sharp eyes saw the stir-fried bean sprouts on the table.
The day before he came back from town, he heard about a new dish at Qingfeng Restaurant, so he tried it, leaving him with no money to take a carriage.
She didn't expect to see this dish at the banquet where house construction was started in the village. Shen Wenjun was shocked at all!
Therefore, the bean sprouts in Qingfeng Building should be provided by the Mu family.
Look at the fried tofu and pickled fish. He has never seen these two dishes before. Could it be that he has been out of town these days and the Mu family is new?
In order to test this idea, Shen Wenjun clamored to go back after dinner.
Mrs. Shen felt very distressed. Her son had only been back for a few days, and he still had to go back to study before he had eaten and drank well!
This time Mrs. Shen was cruel and gave Shen Wenjun twenty taels of silver!
After the workers finished eating, Shen Yunxi and the others ate. After the meal, Mu Chenglin went back to deliver the food. Shen Yunxi and Aunt Huang Yang Xiaomi cleaned up together and prepared the evening meal at the same time.
In the evening, Mu Chenglin cooked fried bacon with sour beans, fried pork slices with dried vegetables, and white steamed buns with rice porridge.
The helpers, who had been tired for a long day, ate happily. They all praised the Mu family for being so generous, as every meal was filled with meat!
After dinner, Shen Yunxi divided the remaining food between Aunt Huang and Yang Xiaomi, because until now, neither of them wanted to ask for wages!
"Yun Xi, you have just started to live a better life, so you need to save some money! Auntie's family is not short of food!" Aunt Huang advised. She saw that both dishes for dinner today were meat, and her heart ached as if she was cutting her flesh.
Similar!
"Yes, Yun Xi, making money is not easy. You should be more leisurely when spending money. Make less food tomorrow, make it worse, and just have enough to eat!" Yang Xiaomi also advised her, did she eat today?
She was short of meat and wanted to keep a piece of it to take back to her brother, but she didn't know how to keep it for fear of being seen. Shen Yunxi would definitely give her more meat.
Her life has just started to improve, so I'd better not cause any trouble to her!
"Aunt Huang, Xiaomi, you won't negotiate wages with me, and you don't want these leftovers, then I won't need your help tomorrow!" Shen Yunxi said angrily.
These days, no one has anything to do with their own affairs. These two people helped here for free all day, out of good intentions.
But this house can't be built in a day or two. She can't let them come here every day to work in vain, right?
"Besides, how many of these dishes have you ever eaten at home?"
At this time, Aunt Huang and Yang Xiaomi were both stunned. Indeed, they had never heard of these dishes today, and they tasted amazing!
"Wouldn't it be better to take it back and give it to your family to try it?"
Seeing what Shen Yunxi said, the two of them didn't push each other and went back with their food!
When the Mu family built a house, the food was very special and delicious, and word of mouth among the helpers spread throughout Qingmu Village.
On this day, Shen Xiujuan was wandering on the field ridge and smelled the aroma of Mu family's food from a distance.
Today Mu Chenglin cooked stir-fried rabbit meat, spicy diced chicken, etc. The smell of chili mixed with the aroma of the meat spread far and wide with the wind.
Not to mention Shen Xiujuan on the field ridge, even everyone else in the village kept swallowing their saliva.
If the village chief hadn't been here to supervise the work, some people would have been tempted to step forward and ask for a bite to eat.
Shen Xiujuan was so greedy that she ran to Shen Yunxi and asked for the stuttering food. Shen Yunxi said that these were for those who worked, and those who did not work were not qualified to eat.
Shen Xiujuan raised her head and looked at the helpers, all of them looked at her with evil expressions. She, a weak woman, could not beat these stinky men, so she had to leave in despair!
After returning home, Shen Xiujuan, who was so greedy, couldn't wait to pick up a piece of meat. It was tasteless. The smell was not as good as what she smelled.
Shen Xiujuan wanted to vomit, but she couldn't bear it. This was meat! Don't eat it. The meat had been eaten by others, and she was unwilling to do so.
After having such a boring meal, Shen Xiujuan went to the field ridge again, wanting to smell more of the smell.
At this time, she saw Yang Xiaomi and Aunt Huang walking out carrying food boxes.
Since the first time I brought the leftovers given by Shen Yunxi back, everyone in the family ate with gusto. Yang Xiaomi and Aunt Huang were no longer polite. Shen Yunxi would ask them to go back every day for the leftovers at noon or evening. Send one to your family.
The stir-fried rabbit meat and spicy chicken diced food eaten today were particularly fragrant. Yang Xiaomi couldn't wait to take them back for her brother and family to try.
Shen Xiujuan stared at the food box in Yang Xiaomi's hand and swallowed.
She didn't dare to rob Aunt Huang because she was the elder after all, but she didn't care about Yang Xiaomi. In terms of age, Yang Xiaomi was one year younger than her!
Yang Xiaomi walked quickly on the road. She didn't notice Shen Xiujuan. She just wanted to send the dishes home quickly so that she could come back and continue to help Shen Yunxi work.
Shen Xiujuan was hiding in the grass. When she saw Yang Xiaomi approaching, her fat body directly pushed Yang Xiaomi down. The food box fell from Yang Xiaomi's hand and the dishes inside were scattered on the ground.
When Shen Xiujuan saw that the vegetables had fallen out, she immediately got up from Yang Xiaomi, picked up the diced meat on the ground and started eating.
Yang Xiaomi didn't react. She stood up blankly and watched all this helplessly.
There was no one on the field ridge. There were many people working around and witnessed all this with their own eyes. However, everyone was shocked by Shen Xiujuan's actions.
The Shen family is not short of meat, so Shen Xiujuan would actually snatch leftovers from others?
It was difficult for Yang Xiaomi and the people around to react. By this time, Shen Xiujuan had already eaten and her mouth was full of oil. She could no longer care that the diced meat was covered with mud and stuffed the whole thing into her mouth!
At this time, a stray dog ​​came over. When it smelled the meat, it stepped forward and licked it. Shen Xiujuan chased it away and quickly put the piece of meat into her mouth.
