After Xia Qingyuan and Lin Dongxiu returned home, they took a short rest and started working again.
Shen Yilin came back from playing outside. He saw many snails in the pond and shouted happily.
"Sister-in-law, where did you touch them?" He stretched out his hand and pulled at them: "There are so many!"
Xia Qingyuan said: "I told you before, there is a river outside where we live, and my mother and I touched it there."
After hearing this, Shen Yilin's eyes sparkled: "I'll go there next time too!"
Xia Qingyuan nodded: "Okay.
When we went there today, we also found a lot of small fish.
When the time comes, you can use the whole net and we will catch the fish."
When Shen Yilin heard this, he was already imagining him flexing his muscles in the river.
He responded: "Okay! I'll go right away!"
After saying that, he ran out again to get fishing nets!
Xia Qingyuan said this because she didn't want to coax her children. She had already set her sights on these fishes when she and Shen Yizhou went to the river last time.
These fish are elongated, about ten centimeters long, two fingers wide, and have flat bodies.
This kind of fish usually only grows to this size, so it's best for frying.
The bones of the fish are also fried until crispy, not to mention those thin spines.
Then mix it with the seasoning she made, it makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
Moreover, these fish are plentiful and can be sold.
As long as you want to make money and dive in, where will there be no way to make money?
After Xia Qingyuan finished talking to Shen Yilin, she turned around and went back to her work.
Their dish today is very large, so they need to hurry up and prepare it.
I have to say that although Lin Dongxiu is a bit soft-tempered, she is a good hand at work.
Xia Qingyuan only went out to work in her previous life, worked in a restaurant, and learned the craft.
But in terms of strength and hard work, she really can't compare to Lin Dongxiu.
Lin Dongxiu took her with her, blanched the bracken in boiling water, soaked it in a basin, put her palms together, and started rubbing it carefully.
There is a layer of fine hair on the surface of bracken, some of which will be washed off when cleaning, and some will also fall off during the blanching process.
Finally, the rest needs to be rubbed manually.
Although it was okay not to do it, since it was going to be done, Xia Qingyuan wanted to do the best.
When customers buy food from her, they hope they will feel as clean as their own homes.
This is also a concept she has always adhered to when doing food business.

In the afternoon, Xia Qingyuan and Lin Dongxiu prepared cold dishes and set off to the vegetable market.
But they set off earlier today.
On the one hand, it was because they had a large portion today, and on the other hand, Xia Qingyuan wanted to go to the store Shen Yizhou mentioned in advance to take a look.
She took a good seat, said something to Lin Dongxiu and Jiang Peilan, and then followed the place.
Only then did Xia Qingyuan realize that the location of this shop was not far from where they sold cold dishes, about a hundred meters away.
Opposite it is the entrance where pork and vegetables are sold. People who enter the vegetable market to buy vegetables will pass by it.
The shops next to it are also grocery stores, so it won't be too out of the ordinary for her to make cold dishes.
It can be said that this location is very good.
The door of the shop was ajar, with the words "For Rent" posted on the door in big letters.
Below the large characters, there are a few lines of small characters written, which are requirements for future tenants.
Xia Qingyuan browsed it quickly and found that what was written above was exactly the same as what Shen Yizhou said.
She walked forward and knocked on the door: "Is anyone here?"
She stood at the door and looked inside.
I found that the store was in the shape of a horizontal rectangle and was not very big.
There is a small door at the back, and a window is also opened in the wall, so you can see the yard behind.
Xia Qingyuan thought, that was probably the kitchen and backyard that Shen Yizhou was talking about.
Xia Qingyuan fell in love with this shop as soon as she saw it.
Soon, an old woman came out from behind the door.
She had silver hair, meticulously combed back.
The old lady also wore very neat clothes and looked like a refined and neat person.
When she saw Xia Qingyuan, she asked, "Are you here to rent a shop?"
Xia Qingyuan nodded, smiled at her and said, "Yes, Auntie."
Hearing this, the old woman looked her over and asked, "Have you seen all the things posted on my door?"
Xia Qingyuan nodded: "I've seen it."
Dell's expression on the old woman's face softened a little, and she said again: "Are you sure you can fulfill my request?"
It's not like she hasn't tried before. She made good promises when renting a shop, but as soon as she got the shop, she didn't keep her promise.
Her last tenant broke up because of this reason.
Xia Qingyuan was not angry: "No problem.
I am in the cold vegetable business, and when the weather gets cooler, I will make braised vegetables.
So I think it can basically meet your requirements.”
"Cold dishes?" The old woman raised her eyebrows: "Just the two girls at the entrance of the vegetable market?"
Xia Qingyuan didn't hesitate and responded: "Yes."
The old woman nodded: "My old man went to your place to buy your cold dishes, and they were pretty good."
Xia Qingyuan didn't expect that she would meet her guest.
She smiled and said: "I happened to make a lot today, and I will send you some later."
After hearing this, the old woman waved her hand: "No, no, no, I'll just tell you."
She turned around: "In this case, I will talk to our old man.
One month's rent is 160, non-negotiable.
If you can accept it, see when you are free and complete the procedures."
Xia Qingyuan didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
The price of 160 is quite a compromise.
She hurriedly said: "If it's convenient, I can do it tomorrow!"
Hearing this, the stern old woman also had a smile on her lips: "Little girl, are you so anxious?"
Xia Qingyuan was not embarrassed at all: "A good store must move quickly."
The old woman couldn't help but laugh: "You are the first person to say that my shop is good."
As soon as the others saw her request, they basically started to argue with her.
I wish I could reduce the store to nothing so that she could lower her requirements. How can I praise her store?
Therefore, she also had a better impression of Xia Qingyuan.
So the two agreed to come over the next day to go through the formalities and pay the rent.
The lease term is one year, and the first payment is three months, and the subsequent payments are one month.
Shen Yizhou's previous bonus of 800 yuan was still in the bank. When she returned to Xinghua Village, she gave another 300 yuan to her family. She only had the cash she had earned during this period.
She did the math and found it was almost 600 yuan.
Once you pay the rent like this, the 600 yuan you have is almost gone.
Really, once we go back to before liberation.
Xia Qingyuan was not discouraged, but instead became more confident.
She believes that with the store, she will definitely earn more money!
