Chapter 131 The person who was following me disappeared
Hu Zi's mother and the others looked at her in disbelief: "Still, there's still wages?"
"Why not? This illness is not something you can control." Wen Zhenyi turned to look at Zhu Tao: "You too."
"I also get paid?" Zhu Tao looked at her in surprise.
"You don't have any wages, how are you going to pay me back?"
Zhu Tao was stunned. What she said was right, but also seemed a little wrong.
Old Lady Wen had no objection to her granddaughter's actions: "If you don't have any other problems, go back and discuss it with your family."
Hu Zi's mother said somewhat awkwardly, "Aunt Wen, Hu Zi and the other children are still young, can they be brought here?"
Old Lady Wen turned to look at Wen Zhenyi: "Yiyi, can you bring him here?"
"You can bring them here, but I have to make it clear. This is a town, not a village. Don't let them run around. They must be accompanied by someone when they go out. If they run into a beggar, I'm afraid it will be too late to cry."
"We know. Let's go back and discuss it with our family. If there's no problem, we'll come back tomorrow with our things."
Wen Zhen nodded: "Okay, stay here for lunch today."
"No, we have to go back."
Old Man Wen looked at it and said: "In this case, let's go back. If you want to come tomorrow, we will send you here again."
"Thank you, Uncle Wen."
Mrs. Wen saw that all the vegetables were washed clean, and they couldn't help with the rest: "Then let's go back."
"Grandma, after the autumn harvest, you can rent out the land and come to town."
"Okay, wait until after the autumn harvest. We can't rent it out now."
Wen Chengwen saw them off and left the yard, then began to busy himself with the herbal tea he was going to make at noon.
Wen Zhenyi looked at Zhu Tao and said, "Little Taozi, help me cook the red beans and mung beans."
"Okay, I'll go now."
Wen Zhen started preparing lunch by cleaning the crabs, peeling them and removing their gills.
Quarter the crabs and set aside.
Now that Zhu Tao is back, she is given the job of cutting the seasonings and practicing her knife skills.
Zhu Tao cut all the seasonings according to her requirements, and checked the red beans and mung beans cooking in the pot from time to time.
Ma Yinghe and his wife are making coconut milk. Today they are going to sell Qingbuliang. Qingbuliang was well received by everyone yesterday, and they hope to have it again today.
The previously chilled lemon passion fruit honey is now edible and tastes much better than before.
We also have corn silk herbal tea today, which is very cheap. Basically, you can drink three bowls for just one penny.
Ma Yinghe gave all the money collected today to Chen Hanxing and asked him to do the accounting.
Shen Hanxing and Xiao Abu were keeping accounts in the yard, recording the income from today's sales and how much they bought in the notebook.
Wen Zhenyi turned to look at Ma Yinghe: "Mom, have Grandpa and the others replied?"
Ma Yinghe took out a letter from her bosom: "It was delivered this morning. I haven't had time to read it yet. Take it to Han Xing to show it to you."
Wen Zhenyi wiped his hands, took the letter and walked out of the kitchen: "Brother Shen, can you help me see what is written in the letter?"
Chen Hanxing put down the pen in his hand, took the letter from her hand, opened it carefully, took out the letter inside and read it: "It says that your uncle has been busy with official business recently and can't spare time to come, and your aunt's stall business is also busy and can't come."
"Did you say anything?"
Shen Hanxing shook his head: “I didn’t say.”
Wen Zhenyi glanced at Little Abu beside him and asked, "Could it be related to his situation?"
"It's hard to say, but when we were buying groceries today, we noticed that the person who was following us had disappeared."
"I've also discovered that, maybe the situation has changed."
"We don't know yet. We have to wait a little longer. We don't have any news right now." Shen Hanxing folded the letter and put it back into the envelope.
"Wait a little longer, it should be a good thing for them to leave."
"I should have some news coming back in the next couple of days. Grandpa is also asking his former classmates, so I think there will be news soon."
Wen Zhen nodded: "Since my uncle and the others are not coming, I plan to prepare a feast for Master Cheng and then officially open the business."
"I think it's okay. Do you want to prepare in advance?"
"I have to order the menu."
"Have you decided what to cook? I'll write out the menu for you."
"I originally wanted to use fruit in the dish, but the fruit is too sweet, so I have to cut back on the amount."
"It's too sweet and I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it after just a few bites."
"Yeah, so it needs some changes." Wen Zhenyi said, looking at Chen Hanxing: "I'm considering mainly home-cooked dishes."
Chen Hanxing thought for a moment: "I think it's okay, it will be more heartwarming this way. After all, there are only Mr. Cheng and his son, and the number should not be too large."
"I'm going to make seven dishes: Eight Treasure Tofu, Song Mansion Baked Chicken, Lotus Pod Wrapped Fish, Waist Rich, Small Chrysanthemum and Mugwort Double-Sided Steamed Buns, Ice Flower Fried Dumplings, and Spring Water."
Shen Hanxing looked at the seven dishes on the menu: "It sounds like I've never eaten them before."
"Wait until I make some more and bring it back for you to eat together."
Little Abu looked at the two of them and asked, "Can I eat too?"
"I definitely can't forget you."
Wen Zhenyi didn't need to spend any money to prepare what he was making this time. He could just buy the ingredients on the same day: "I'll go prepare lunch."
"Sister, are we having soy sauce rice today?"
"Yes, I'll remember it for you." Wen Zhenyi got up and went to the kitchen after saying that.
Little Abu looked at Wen Zhenyi's back and said, "Whoever marries my sister will be so happy. There will be delicious food every day. I wish I were the same age as my brother."
Shen Hanxing raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "You have no chance in this life."
Little Abu's face fell: "If there is no chance, there is no chance. Brother may not have a chance either, huh!" After saying that, he ran away.
Shen Hanxing raised an eyebrow and looked at his fleeing figure: "At least I am closer than you."
Wen Zhenyi steamed some rice and started preparing today's lunch.
The crabs and seasonings were ready. She planned to make some stir-fried eggplant with soy sauce, a steamed egg with tofu, and a bowl of loofah soup.
There aren’t many varieties, but the portions are generous.
Wen Zhenyi first cooked the loofah soup, then cut the tofu into small cubes, spread them flat on a round plate, added beaten eggs on top, and steamed them in a steamer.
Zhu Tao's red beans and mung beans have been cooked and placed in a bowl.
"Xiao Taozi, you come and cook, I'll tell you how to do it."
Zhu Tao put down the basin in her hand and walked over: "Okay, you go."
"Pour hot oil into the pan. The eggplant will absorb the oil, so add a little more. Then add the minced garlic and then the bean paste."
Zhu Tao followed the steps she said, step by step.
Wen Zhenyi felt a little regretful that there was no pork, and the dish would be missing minced meat: "It's a pity there is no pork, otherwise it would be delicious if minced meat was added."
