"Mom, the mud has dried completely, can I do another one?"
The little fish was munching away happily. Before it had even swallowed the beef jerky in its mouth, it held up its little index finger and asked in a grandma-like voice.
With beef jerky in his mouth, his speech was unclear, making him even more adorable.
"Woof woof woof..."
Upon hearing that Xiaoyuzai had requested another one, Qibei quickly lifted its head from its dog bowl and barked at Fang Yan.
If there's one more little fish, it wants one too.
"Okay, but only if none of you have any other snacks today."
Fang Yan would indulge the child in everything.
Occasionally, she would let them make their own choices.
Sure enough, Little Fish and Qibei began to think about it seriously.
After all, this wasn't the first time they'd made a choice like this.
I'm very skilled at it now.
Moreover, they all know that once a choice is made, it cannot be changed.
I can't say anymore, I chose beef jerky first.
After finishing the beef jerky, she can then beg for snacks.
This wouldn't work with my mother.
Because both Xiaoyuzai and Qibei have tried it themselves, and it was completely useless.
So now, whenever they need to make a choice, they consider it very carefully.
"Woof woof woof..." Qibei was the first to decide, and it patted the unfinished beef jerky in the bowl with its paw.
Fang Yan understood, "Qibei chose beef jerky."
Little Fish frowned and hesitated for a moment. He wanted to eat cookies and beef jerky at the same time. What should he do?
"Mom, I want beef jerky too."
Finally swallowing the beef in his mouth, Little Fish made his choice.
Beef jerky is so delicious, this is the first time he's ever eaten it.
I wonder if we'll even have food to eat in the future?
If the cookies run out, Mom will make more.
Since we moved to Grandma De's old house, Mom has made it for him many times.
But this is the first time I've made beef jerky.
Also, Mom said beef is so hard to buy, and she doesn't know when she'll be able to eat beef again.
So of course, I'd choose beef jerky.
Wow, at such a young age, he already understands the art of weighing options. No wonder he became an outstanding entrepreneur and made a fortune when he grew up.
Because of her stepmother's upbringing, she became too "grateful," turning into the female protagonist and her children's personal "money bag."
Fang Yan gave each of them a piece of beef jerky, saying, "Sit here and eat obediently. Mommy will go and take the beef jerky to Grandma De."
"Woof woof woof..."
"OK."
The furry kid and the mischievous kid agreed in unison.
Fang Yan gave Zhang Zongde a small half-jin (250g) and also gave Aunt Wang a small half-jin (250g).
They all gave it a wonderful review, saying, "Third brother's family, how did you make this? It's not dry or hard, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes. It's so delicious!"
Zhang Zongde and his aunt are both elderly and have poor teeth, so this pot of food was specially prepared by first braising and then roasting it, so that even if their teeth are not strong enough, they can still eat it.
"Your great-uncle drank a couple more glasses of wine today with the beef jerky you gave him. While eating, he kept saying that before meeting you, the third brother must have been incredibly lucky to marry such a virtuous and capable wife as you."
Aunt De held Fang Yan's hand and said with a smile.
Unfortunately, the men in their family were either too old or too young; none of them were suitable for Fang Yan.
Otherwise, they would definitely want to marry such a wonderful girl into their own family as soon as possible.
Fang Yan's lips twitched slightly. She thought to herself, if she said this to Zhang Jizhou's face, that straight man would probably only feel wronged. He was clearly the one with better conditions, but he got the blame for stepping on someone else's bad luck.
"Exactly, if he hadn't stepped on a dog's ass, he definitely wouldn't have been able to marry me."
Fang Yan joked with a cheerful smile.
Regardless of age or gender, everyone was "captured" by the beef jerky. Fang Yan became even more confident that Captain Liu and the others would definitely like it too.
I packed all the things I wanted to give them at home and stored them in the space.
Then you definitely need to go out and do business to make money first.
This time, buying beef really cost her a large portion of her savings.
However, Fang Yan didn't feel heartbroken at all. Compared to Captain Liu and Grandpa Wei, who were able to do their best in that situation, running around and making the right judgments in time to save her life, she was willing to spend any amount of money.
But once the money is spent, it needs to be earned back quickly.
Fang Yan has always suffered from financial anxiety.
Yes, the clinical manifestation of this disease is that she feels very insecure once the money in her wallet is less than her budget.
Furthermore, she may have to join the army at any time.
I don't know what the environment is like in the Northwest, or if there are any ways to make money there.
Therefore, making money is of utmost urgency.
Fortunately, thanks to the special properties of the spring water and Fang Yan's superb culinary skills, her fan base is growing day by day.
No matter how much braised food she prepares each day, she can sell it all out within an hour and a half.
After selling all the braised food like it was a battle, Fang Yan had just finished packing up when she saw Chu Chun coming over. "You've come at the right time. Take the food and meat back with you later. I'm going to deliver some things to Captain Liu and the others."
"OK."
Chu Chun was a very diligent and capable little helper, and she helped Fang Yan pack her things with great effort.
The two of them first went to the market to buy the meat they would sell the next day.
There were too many things; one person couldn't carry them all in early spring.
Fang Yan, along with Xiao Yuzai and Qi Bei, first helped her deliver the goods to the oxcart gathering point.
"How was your computer test today? Are you more proficient now?"
Fang Yan occasionally inquires about Fang Yan's study progress.
In early spring, I was timid and had low self-esteem. For the first three days after arriving at the small workshop, I didn't dare to use the machine.
First, I got pricked by a sewing machine needle.
Secondly, she was afraid of damaging the sewing machine and not being able to afford to pay for it.
For the first three days, she sat in front of the machine, not knowing what to do with her hands and feet.
The proprietress was furious, fearing that Chu Chun was the one who would ruin her "Guaranteed Learning" brand.
"Today the boss praised me for the fine and solid stitching, and said that after two more days of training, she would teach me how to make turns and how to make curved lines."
Chu Chun's eyes lit up as she excitedly spoke.
Catching the hint of expectation hidden beneath the excitement, Fang Yan praised relentlessly, "Really? You've improved so quickly! I knew it. You're clearly a smart and brave girl. You'll definitely overcome all obstacles and learn real skills."
"Sister Chun Chun is awesome!" Little Fish also gave Chu Chun a thumbs up.
"No...it's not that amazing."
Being praised by her favorite and most admired aunt, Chu Chun was so happy that her mouth stretched from ear to ear.
She smiled shyly.
They chatted and laughed all the way to the meeting point, gave Grandpa Niu two big meat buns, and asked him to help Chuchun carry the things to the courtyard.
After everything was arranged, Fang Yan led Xiaoyu and Qibei towards a large courtyard...
