Chapter 296: Sister-in-law is right, but that doesn’t stop us from feeling jealous!

As expected, the Xu family had dumplings for dinner that day.

The meat is freshly slaughtered on the farm, chopped into minced meat with 80% lean meat and 20% fat.

The first batch of leeks are just cut from the greenhouse vegetable garden, chopped finely and mixed with the chopped meat. Before the skin is wrapped and put into the pot, you can smell the fresh fragrance of the leeks when you get close.

Sang Zhixia rolled out the dough very quickly. The round dumplings were turned into shape in the hands of Xu Wenxiu and Aunt Xu San, and were neatly arranged in a row.

Bring water to a boil in a pot, put the plump white dumplings into the pot and blanch them three times in cold water, then take them out and put them on a plate, steaming hot.

Just bite into one, and the hot steam will spray into your mouth with the richness of the gravy and the fresh fragrance of the leeks.

There is nothing fancy about it, but the simplest ingredients mixed together make it taste delicious enough when you put it in your mouth.

Sang Zhixia looked at the little ones who were grinning and gasping from the burns, and suppressed a smile and teased: "Are you satisfied now?"

Xu Yanran ate in an elegant manner. When she heard this, she said without even looking up, "Okay, we forgive sister-in-law."

"forgive?"

Sang Zhixia raised her eyebrows, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and asked in confusion, "What on earth did I do wrong to make you guys so angry?"

Those who knew that she had just given two pens to a child outside, but those who didn't know, seeing the jealous look on the faces of these little ones, thought that the child who took the pens was her own!

"Sister-in-law is right, but it doesn't stop us from enjoying the taste!"

Xu Mingyang swallowed a dumpling whole, holding up his chopsticks and said confidently, "We already have so many children at home, why are you still trying to hook up with other people's children, sister-in-law? Is it because we are not good-looking?"

Sang Zhixia blinked weakly.

Xu Mingxu silently raised his head from his bowl: "Third brother, that's not how you hook up."

Xu Mingyang said without hesitation: "That's teasing!"

"We are so well-behaved, sensible and considerate, sister-in-law, why are you still touching other children's heads? Isn't it better to come back and touch my own?"

"Touch yours?"

Aunt Xu, who had just come in in the evening, changed her clothes and came out. Without thinking, she glared at Xu Mingyang: "How dare you say that?"

"What's so good about touching your dog head that's always covered in mud?"

Xu Mingyang got off to a bad start and was hit by his own mother. He widened his eyes in shock and grievance: "Mom..."

"Don't call me."

Second Aunt Xu said disdainfully, "I don't know what happened when I gave birth to you. I forgot to bring your brain with me."

"Is this how you use words like flirt and flirt? Whose teacher taught you that? If your big brother hears this, watch out for your dog ears!"

Xu Mingyang was ignorant but had absolute confidence. He waved his chopsticks nonchalantly and said loudly, "Even if I have a dog head and dog ears, I was born by my mother!"

The humiliation that was on the tip of Aunt Xu's tongue was stuck.

Xu Mingyang chuckled: "Mom, I..."

“Ahhhh!”

"I taught you to be so smooth-talking!"

"cough."

The old man had been having fun for a while, but when he saw Xu Mingyang had been hit, he reminded him, "We're eating. How can you deal with a child at the dinner table?"

Xu Mingyang covered his ears and nodded frantically: "Yes, yes, grandfather is right."

The old man looked at his grandson's chubby face and smiled lovingly: "There's still time to clean up after you're full."

"Just got home after a busy day, let's eat first and talk later."

Xu Mingyang couldn't believe what he heard and tried to struggle.

Sang Zhixia quickly grabbed his head and said, "Boy, don't forget the homework you gave to your grandfather this morning."

A short piece of homework made the learned old man so angry that he stayed in his study for half a day.

In the end, Xu Mingxu rushed over urgently and demonstrated his extraordinary talent of photographic memory, which barely made the old man forget the complicated thoughts he had been having for half a day.

If Xu Mingyang had not been the only bitter melon produced in his family, the old man would probably have doubted his life and not wanted to teach anymore.

Each blow from Xu Mingyang was greater than the last.

After such a negotiation, it was very kind of the old man not to do it himself.

Xu Mingyang blinked guiltily and stopped talking.

Sang Zhixia sighed, patted the raised heads of several small dogs one by one, sat down and said, "Second Aunt is back today, but is there something wrong with the shop in the county town?"

Sang Zhixia is a quick-witted person who does what he says.

Since I have decided to open a shop for soap flowers separately, I have to prepare the shop while slaughtering pigs, extracting oil and making soap.

She had just returned from the county town the day before yesterday, and had to ask Aunt Xu to help keep an eye on the new shop. She subconsciously thought it was the shop's business.

Second Aunt Xu waved her hand and said, "Everything is ready over there. I just wanted to come home and take a look today because I had some free time. I also wanted to ask if you've decided on the inscription for the shop plaque."

When a store is set up and opened for business, in addition to attractive items on the shelves, a good storefront is also essential.

Good plaques must be customized long in advance, otherwise it will be too late.

Aunt Xu couldn't help but say when she thought of this: "Soap flowers are different from other things. We can't just mess around with them like we do at the grain store."

When they first opened the grain store, Sang Zhixia just said she didn't know what to call it. Xu Mingxu casually said, "Isn't my sister-in-law's surname Sang? Since it's my sister-in-law's store, why not split it into three parts and call it Sanyou? That way, everyone knows it's my sister-in-law's store!"

Everyone thought Xu Mingxu was just a kid's mischief and nothing to worry about, but unexpectedly Sang Zhixia took these two words and went to make a plaque.

On the day of the grand opening, the red silk was pulled open, and what was clearly visible was the Sanyou Grain Store.

Xu Wenxiu also remembered this and quickly glared at Xu Mingxu, who was eager to try, "Don't talk nonsense this time."

Xu Mingxu held the small bowl in his hand and said unconvincedly, "I'm not talking nonsense."

"My sister-in-law clearly liked the name I chose last time!"

Xu Wenxiu said coldly: "Even if you like it, I can't let you take it anymore."

"That's right, it's our turn now!"

Xu Mingyang raised his hand unwillingly and said enthusiastically: "Sister-in-law, look at me! I..."

"You can't either."

Aunt Xu grabbed her son back with an expressionless face and said to Sang Zhixia seriously, "Soap flowers are sold to the nobles of wealthy families. Only when the name is elegant will people come."

They sell things to these people for their money, so naturally they have to cater to their preferences.

If these two bastards really come up with a vulgar name that is not up to par, it will be difficult to raise the price.

Sang Zhixia has no shirking responsibility for other matters, but when it comes to naming...

Sang Zhixia was silent for a while, then shook her head frankly: "I don't know."

This is something I'm really not good at.

Xu Wenxiu said anxiously, "Oh, if you can't think of it right now, just think about it slowly. Anyway, don't be careless."

Aunt Xu also sighed with regret: "It's a pity that your third uncle is not at home, otherwise if you invited your third uncle over, he could pull out more than ten for you in a day."

Uncle Xu loves literary works the most.

Uncle Xu even classified all the types of wine in the winery into many categories.

One part is true and nine parts are false. They made up a lot of legends that sounded plausible. For this reason, the winery priced its wine higher than other places. Because these made-up nonsense spread, everyone who heard it believed it to be true.

Sang Zhixia felt secretly regretful when she thought that Uncle Xu, who could easily come up with allusions, was still outside the Great Wall.

Sang Zhixia tentatively asked, "How about waiting for Xu Yu to decide?"

"This is your property. What will it look like if he decides on it?"

The old man interjected calmly and chuckled, "Your mother-in-law is right. If you can't think of something right now, just think about it slowly. There will always be good things."
