Group favor + Lucky Golden Finger + Female protagonist focused on career, male protagonist offering support. The impoverished Niu family, so poor they couldn't even afford to open a pot, picked...
They had experience running restaurants, so opening a restaurant wouldn't be a big problem. However, such a large restaurant would be a huge undertaking, and the Niu family simply didn't have that much money.
"We can't open it for now. Let's plant these three plots of land first and make money slowly!" The Niu family had already earned over a thousand taels of silver and owned three hundred acres of fertile land, two grain shops, and three plots of land, living a prosperous life.
However, if such a large restaurant were actually built, I'm afraid even five thousand taels of silver wouldn't be enough just for the construction.
Little Fu Bao smiled and said, "I'll make lots and lots of money!"
Niu Da, the eldest son of the mute Niu, ran over again and said, "Uncle Niu, my family invites you to our house for lunch tomorrow!"
Chen Yu asked, "Is there some happy occasion in your family?"
“Auntie, there’s nothing particularly joyous about it. A few months ago, you gave our family some ginseng roots, right? My dad and I took them to my mother to eat, brewing a little bit every day.” “Today, she can actually see again!”
"That's a joyous occasion!" Chen Yu exclaimed with a smile. "It's definitely worth celebrating!"
Although Niu Yaba is a few months younger than Niu Da, he got married earlier than Niu Da, so Niu Da is three years older than Niu Cuihua and is fourteen years old this year.
Because of his poor academic ability, he stopped going to school last year and started learning blacksmithing from a blacksmith in town.
"Good" Niu Avenue.
After Niu Da left, Chen Yu said, "With so many things, it might attract covetous eyes. There are probably no people in our Niu Shan Village who would dare to do that, but I think it would be better to deposit it in the bank tomorrow!"
“It’s been almost three months since my little sister was born, we should go and see her! I’ll catch two chickens to nourish her!” Chen Yu said.
Niu Xiaomei is four months away from her wedding.
In summer, even at night it is extremely hot. Before dawn, Chen Yu and Niu Da took Xiao Fubao, who got up early, along with Niu Yong and Xiao Heng to the money exchange.
They stored all the gold and silver treasures away.
When Ke'er and Qiao'er saw Niu Da and Shen Yu arrive, they quickly put down their medical books, lifted their skirts, and ran over.
"Eldest uncle, aunt, second uncle"
The cousin in question is Xiao Heng.
Fifth Sister Niu Ke'er and Qiao'er surrounded Xiao Fubao, saying, "We haven't seen you for over ten days! We missed you so much!"
Little Fu Bao smiled and said, "Little Fu Bao misses you all too!"
Xue Huaimin quickly welcomed Niu Da inside, but the clinic was already crowded with patients. Niu Da said, "We've come to see our little sister."
When the maid led Chen Yu and Niu Da and the others inside, Niu Xiaomei's mother-in-law, Xiong Shi, was talking to Niu Xiaomei in the room.
When Xiong saw that Niu Xiaomei's family had arrived, she quickly got up to serve them tea.
Chen Yu observed that although Xiong Shi was a capable mother-in-law, she was not difficult. Judging from the way she chatted and laughed with Niu Xiaomei, she seemed to be easy to talk to.
"Little sister, how are Huaimin and your in-laws treating you?" Chen Yu asked.
Niu Xiaomei smiled and said, "It's great!"
"Good, good, good! Little Fu Bao, come here, tell me, is it a little brother or a little sister in your aunt's belly?"
Little Fu Bao said, "Little sister."
“No, say it again!” Chen Yu said.
"My little sister!" Little Fu Bao exclaimed, "It's my little sister!"
"You silly child, you want a little sister so badly, but Mom thinks your aunt is definitely having a little brother!" "Please pray that this time you'll have a son!"
The path to sinking fish.
Actually, Shen Yu thought both men and women were fine, but she was frightened by the Huang family member in front of her, and was afraid that if Niu Xiaomei had another daughter, she would be treated like that again.
“What does it matter if it’s a boy or a girl! Our family doesn’t care about that. If people in the world don’t want to have girls, then who will be a daughter, a wife, and a mother?” Madam Xiong said with a smile, carrying some snacks in her hand and leading the maid who was serving tea into the room.
Niu Xiaomei smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, my mother-in-law often says that it is already difficult for women to stand on their own two feet in this world. If we don't take better care of ourselves, how will we survive?"
Shen Yu laughed and said, "That's true!"
Madam Xiong handed a piece of pastry to Xiao Fubao, who ate it with gusto. "Grandma in-laws, your Jade Hibiscus Cake is so delicious! It's so cool and refreshing! Grandma in-laws, did you add ice to it?"
“There is ice, but it’s not added inside; it’s placed in the ice chest,” Xiong said.
Little Fu Bao was slightly disappointed.
"Brother and sister-in-law, haven't you had breakfast yet? I just had the kitchen make some breakfast, and I've also asked them to prepare lunch. Why don't you stay for lunch?"
Xiong said.
"No need for lunch. We already had an appointment with someone else. After breakfast, we need to hurry back home. There's still a lot of work to do!"
The path to sinking fish.
"Then I won't insist you stay!" said Madam Xiong.
The Xue family's breakfasts are all medicinal dishes, which make people feel refreshed and their blood circulation is much smoother.
After returning home, Chen Yu noticed that there weren't many vegetables left to make pickled dishes, so she went to the field with Niu Meihua to pick some. They washed and shredded the radishes and sweet potatoes and dried them in the sun.
Most of these were ordered by You Sanmei at the beginning of the year, and Niu Cuihua will sell some of them.
This is the third time I've made braised pork, braised fish, braised chicken, braised duck, and braised goose.
We're just waiting for autumn so we can deliver these things to the homes of those high-ranking officials and nobles!
Niu Da, Niu Cuihua, Niu Yong, Sang Yu, and Xiao Heng planted peanuts and watermelons on the land they bought from the Tan family.
We had lunch at Niu Yaba's house.
The dishes at Niu Yaba's house were more plentiful than in previous years, with both meat and fish. Little Fu Bao, meanwhile, was circling around a bronze-like object and asking, "Brother Da You, what is this?"
"Oh, that one isn't ready yet! I see your family grows melons and fruits, and I was thinking that if we could make it into something like bayberry juice, lots of people would love to drink it!"
Niu Da continued.
Little Fu Bao's eyes lit up, and she said, "Big Brother Da You is so amazing!"
Niu Da also noticed the copper juicer. There are juicers on the market that are like a tiger bench, but they are surprisingly slow and waste a lot of fruit.
Few people use it.
"How did you make this thing? How do you use it?" Niu Da stood up, looked at the bronze object, and asked.
"It's just a combination of a winnowing fan and a threshing blade used for threshing rice. This thing has two layers, and there's also a mesh screen inside to filter out impurities from the fruit."
Zhang Min laughed and said, "Dayou, you're just not good at studying, all you do is tinker with those weird and strange things all day long."
Little Fu Bao said, "Big Brother Da You's idea is great!"
Niu Da scratched the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "It's still a little short. All I need to do is polish and color it."
Niu Da laughed and said, "After you're done, try it with the fruits and vegetables from my garden and see how it goes!"
