Chapter 364 Touched
Dabao and Erbao ran in excitedly, saying happily, "Mom, it smells so good."
"Mom made something delicious."
Both the eldest and second child are excited and looking forward to it.
Mrs. Meng looked at her two grandsons' lively appearance and smiled happily.
Shen Yueyao was very patient when dealing with the two children.
Explain to them that I made sausage.
Dabao and Erbao were curious and wanted to take a look, but the pot was covered with a lid, so they couldn't see. But because there was a fire, steam came out from the gaps in the lid, and a fragrant smell wafted out.
Shen Yueyao said: "Don't worry, it will be ready to eat in a while."
Dabao and Erbao nodded obediently.
"Mom, let me help you light the fire."
"Mom, I can work too."
Shen Yueyao couldn't help but kiss them on the cheek when she saw their soft and cute appearance.
Shen Yueyao couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the two babies had such good skin that it would bounce back even if blown.
Perhaps it is because they have enough nutrition, and because they drink spiritual spring water every day, the two babies not only have good skin, but also white skin.
"It's okay. There's firewood in the stove. You don't need to add more firewood now. The pot will be ready in half an hour."
I made a lot and steamed a full pot, which is enough for the whole family to eat for a while.
During the Chinese New Year, you can also stuff some sausages.
In this way, everyone talked and waited for time to pass.
When it was almost done, Shen Yueyao opened the lid of the pot and a stream of hot steam rushed out.
Shen Yueyao has her own skills when opening the pot lid. She only opens it halfway to avoid getting burned by the steam.
After it was no longer so hot, Shen Yueyao put the lid on the pot.
Everyone came over to look.
When Su Daya and Su Erya saw the red and plump sausages in the pot, they were surprised.
It really makes people feel hungry just by looking at the color and smell.
Dabao and Erbao were about to move forward, but Shen Yueyao held them back and said, "Be careful, don't get burned, and don't worry. Mom will cut the slices soon and we'll eat together."
Shen Yueyao used chopsticks to pick up a sausage and placed it on the chopping board, then cut it into small pieces with a knife.
This way the temperature cools down quickly and is convenient to eat.
Then, Shen Yueyao took a fork and said to everyone: "Mom, Da Ya and Er Ya, use your forks to eat, don't burn yourself."
Only then did Mrs. Meng give the fork to Da Ya and Er Ya, and then picked up the ham slices to eat.
A little hot.
Su Erya said, "I'll go to the yard for a while, then we can eat."
When Shen Yueyao heard this, she thought, yes, she could put it in the yard where it would be a little cooler.
Then Shen Yueyao picked up a few sausages with chopsticks and put them on the plate, and then took them to the yard to cool down.
The temperature in the yard was very low, and after a while, the ham sausage was at just the right temperature, and it was just right to eat when I brought it back.
At this time, Su Daya had just taken a piece of cake and was so excited that she didn't speak for a while.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the sausage. She was really shocked that there was such a delicious thing.
She couldn't describe it, but she thought it was delicious.
"Aunt San, this sausage is so delicious."
Madam Meng was also shocked for a while, "I didn't expect there would be such delicious food."
Her daughter-in-law is really amazing. She can make such delicious food.
She had never seen or heard of this method or this kind of food, let alone eaten it.
Dabao and Erbao were also eating excitedly.
The dimple moved, "Mom, it's delicious, delicious."
"It's delicious, Mom, you eat it too."
Su Erya was amazed again and again, "Wow, Third Aunt, I admire you so much, this is the real New Year's goods, it tastes amazing."
Su Erya gave a thumbs up as she spoke, but of course she didn't forget to eat.
Shen Yueyao felt relieved when she saw her mother and the others said it was delicious.
She also ate a few pieces and nodded in her heart, thinking that the taste was indeed well-seasoned.
"If you like it, let's eat more these days. Tomorrow we'll make noodles and add fried eggs and ham. The taste will be very different."
"And it can be baked. Tomorrow morning, I can make sesame cakes. Adding ham, eggs, and chicken fillets to the sesame cakes will make them taste different."
"You can also eat it like this, it's delicious even when it's cold."
“This can be eaten hot or cold.”
"You can use ham to make fried pancakes, fried skewers, or stir-fry vegetables..."
Just saying this, Shen Yueyao can say a lot.
Su Erya felt like her saliva was about to flow out just by listening.
"It's good that Third Aunt is back. We can eat delicious food."
Shen Yueyao looked at her with amusement and said, "Your cooking skills are also very good. You can also make delicious dishes in different ways."
Su Erya shook her head and said, "My cooking is still not as delicious as Third Aunt's. Even if the steps are the same, the food is still different."
"Besides, Aunt San can always come up with new ideas that I can't think of."
At most, she remembered the cooking methods taught by her third aunt, but she couldn't come up with any new delicacies.
It was something like ham sausage, which she felt she couldn't think of.
This stuff is simply delicious.
Shen Yueyao took out a plate for everyone to eat, and the food in the pot had to be cooled before being put away.
After Shen Yueyao finished, she took six sausages and put them on a plate, then took it to the study for Su Xueyi to eat.
When Shen Yueyao entered the room, she saw Su Xueyi writing something with great concentration.
She looked at Su Xueyi's serious profile and always felt a sense of refinement and nobility.
He said he would study step by step when he got home, and it was true.
But when she got home, she could take good care of him.
On weekdays, Shen Yueyao would at most call Su Xueyi during meal times. On weekdays, Shen Yueyao would not come to disturb him when he was reading.
But this time she made something delicious, so Shen Yueyao wanted Su Xueyi to try it as soon as possible.
Hearing the footsteps, Su Xueyi put down the brush in her hand and turned around.
The moment she saw Shen Yueyao, Su Xueyi's gaze softened involuntarily.
It was a tender and gentle light, and just one look at it could warm one's whole body.
Shen Yueyao brought the plate to the table and said, "This is freshly made ham sausage. Try it and see how it tastes."
Su Xueyi looked at the six sausages on the plate, smiled elegantly, and said, "Yao Niang, do you think I can eat so much?"
Shen Yueyao knew that Su Xueyi didn't have the habit of eating snacks on weekdays, so he would eat more during meals.
I don't eat much.
Especially in the morning and at noon, Su Xueyi will control her diet and not eat too much.
In Su Xueyi's words, if you eat too much, you will feel sleepy the moment you are full.
In order to ensure that she is still clear-headed enough to read and study after meals, Su Xueyi always eats until she is 60% to 70% full.
Shen Yueyao felt sorry for him, so she would usually make something delicious at night.
If he read until very late, Shen Yueyao would make him some midnight snack.
However, Su Xueyi has a good physique, and no matter how much she eats, her figure will not change, and she still has a graceful figure.
Shen Yueyao looked at Su Xueyi with soft eyes and said, "You have to use your brain to study. It will be very hard. You need to eat more and replenish your body."
"I seasoned this ham sausage myself, so you can eat it with confidence."
"Besides, it's already the twelfth lunar month, and your college is on vacation. You don't have to study so hard. You should take a break."
Su Xueyi shook his head helplessly and laughed a little. His mother Yao was always worried about how hard he was studying and was trying to persuade him to rest more.
However, just by looking at Yao Niang, Su Xueyi became more determined in her goal.
Even if not for the Su family, he would still work hard for Yao Niang.
"Okay, let's take a rest today. I'll try it, but I believe that what Yao Niang cooks must be delicious."
Seeing Su Xueyi praising her and trusting her so much, Shen Yueyao smiled with her eyebrows curved.
"You haven't even tried it yet, and you already know it's delicious!"
Su Xueyi said with a smile: "Just now, Dabao and Erbao couldn't sit still after smelling the scent, which shows how strong the fragrance is. But the smell is indeed different from other foods."
As she spoke, Su Xueyi picked up the chopsticks with her slender white fingers, and then picked up a sausage to eat.
Even when he was eating, his movements were very elegant.
Shen Yueyao was watching from the side and found it pleasing to the eye.
After Su Xueyi took a bite, Shen Yueyao looked at him expectantly, as if silently asking him if it tasted good.
After Su Xueyi ate it, his eyes lit up and he was a little shocked. However, looking at Yao Niang's expression, he said with a smile: "It's delicious. The taste is very unique, different from other foods."
As Su Xueyi spoke, she looked at Shen Yueyao deeply, with tender affection in her eyes.
Shen Yueyao was startled by the look on her face, and felt a little embarrassed. She explained, "This is the food from my time. I like it very much. It tastes good whether it's grilled or fried."
“So this isn’t something I came up with.”
Su Xueyi ate a few bites, put down her chopsticks, then reached out and pulled Shen Yueyao into her arms and sat down.
He reached out and gently hugged Shen Yueyao and said, “Niang Yao, there is no need to be humble. Even if it is the food of your time, you can’t make it if you don’t know how.”
Just like some of the delicacies here, the secret recipe is still in the hands of some people, and others may not be able to make it even if they know it.
Shen Yueyao couldn't help but raised the corner of her mouth and said: "It's good that I am in your heart like this."
"Yeah, very good."
Shen Yueyao leaned in Su Xueyi's arms and could smell the scent of ink on him, which was clean and refreshing.
There is a scent of books.
She said, "Since you think it tastes good, then eat more."
Su Xueyi said, "Let's eat after dinner."
Su Xueyi has strong self-control and self-discipline. No matter how delicious the food is, he will control himself and not eat too much.
In other words, the self-control that he was proud of would be useless only when facing Yao Niang's affairs.
Shen Yueyao said: "Well, I plan to make fried pancakes for dinner. Didn't I make pancakes for lunch? It's just right to make them and eat them. This method is actually very simple."
"By the way, I'm also planning to stuff sausages. Sausages are different from hams. You'll know how they taste when you try them."
Su Xueyi thought for a moment and said, "Is it similar to bacon?"
Shen Yueyao shook her head and said, “It tastes different from bacon.”
Su Xueyi asked, "Do you have time to do this now?"
The workshop will be closed in about ten days, and Yao Niang is going to give everyone a bonus.
Shen Yueyao rubbed her head with her hand and said, "This time we are going to give everyone bonuses. The year-end bonus is larger than the usual bonus. The managers will get more than ten taels of silver, and ordinary employees will also get a bonus of seven or eight taels of silver."
Su Xueyi said softly, "I think everyone will be very happy and grateful to you."
For the farmers, a bonus of seven or eight taels of silver is really a lot. You can imagine how excited they would be.
Shen Yueyao said, "I've said before that the workshop is doing well and has good profits. I will give everyone bonuses based on the workshop's business revenue."
"Everyone has worked hard, so we gave everyone bonuses so that everyone can use the money to buy New Year's goods and have a good New Year."
She thought that during the first month of the lunar year, everyone would visit relatives and buy gifts, which would cost money.
"Well, you have the final say on the matters concerning the workshop. Yao Niang, is there anything I can help you with?"
Shen Yueyao smiled and said, “You, as long as you don’t tire yourself out from reading, you’ll be helping me.”
"If you get tired, I'll feel bad."
Shen Yueyao said this seriously.
Su Xueyi was tired, and she really felt distressed.
She probably understands now that sometimes feeling sorry for someone is an involuntary feeling in her heart.
Su Xueyi touched Shen Yueyao's hair lovingly. Although he didn't say anything, he knew how deep his feelings for Yao Niang were.
Ever since the Su family got into trouble, he has become disgusted with the world.
If it weren't for his family, he might not have persisted until now.
But because of Yao Niang's existence, he has love in his heart, and he is willing to love this world.
…
In the blink of an eye, it is already the middle of the twelfth lunar month.
It snowed lightly that day.
As soon as Shen Yueyao saw Xiaoxue, she called Su Daya, Su Erya, and Aunt Qiu to come to the workshop and gather everyone together.
Shen Yueyao said, "I gathered everyone together today because the Chinese New Year is coming soon. I know that during the Chinese New Year, everyone needs to buy New Year's goods and make a lot of food, which will be very busy. We also have to visit relatives and friends during the first month of the lunar year, so I plan to give everyone a month's vacation. After the vacation, everyone can come back to the workshop to work after the 16th or 17th day of the first lunar month."
"Everyone has annual leave this month..."
When Shen Yueyao finished saying this, everyone was shocked.
No one could believe that their employer would give them a month-long vacation. They simply couldn't imagine it.
They had originally planned to buy some New Year's goods and prepare everything they needed during their day off.
I never thought that my boss would give me a holiday directly.
Someone was so excited that he couldn't help asking, "Dong, Dongjia, is this true?"
"The workshop will not be open this month. Will we be back to work on the 17th day of the first lunar month?"
Some people were nervous, afraid that they had heard it wrong, and wanted to ask again to clarify.
Shen Yueyao smiled and nodded, "That's right, so don't worry or be nervous, it's arranged like this every year."
Everyone felt relieved after hearing Shen Yueyao's affirmative words.
At the same time, they all looked at Shen Yueyao with excited and grateful eyes.
They felt that the boss was so nice and was so good to everyone.
So if someone tries to find out what they do in the workshop on a daily basis, they won't be stupid enough to reveal it.
The boss said that if there was anything, they could tell him, but if anyone betrayed or leaked the information, according to the contract, not only would they have to face the authorities, but any of the boss's businesses would no longer employ them or their relatives.
So everyone strictly regulates themselves.
Most villagers are down-to-earth people.
They may not have read many books, but they stick to the most basic principles.
There may be some people who usually care about trivial matters, but that was because they were poor in the past. Now that everyone can make money, their mentality will naturally change. They are willing to be more tolerant and no longer care about trivial matters.
Moreover, Shen Yueyao stipulated that no gangs were allowed in the workshop, and fighting, swearing, or ostracizing others were not allowed.
Once they find out, they will be kicked out of the workshop.
So everyone is afraid.
Everyone working in the workshop is quite honest.
They also know that their bonuses are linked to the performance of the workshop, that is, the better the products made in the workshop sell, the more bonuses they will get.
So for the bonus, they all work hard.
Shen Yueyao saw all of this.
Shen Yueyao said: “Although I don’t come to the workshop often, I know everything about the workshop.”
"If you all do well, I will naturally not treat you unfairly. If you violate the workshop rules, I will not be merciful either."
"But while giving everyone a holiday, we will also give everyone a year-end bonus."
When the word "year-end bonus" was mentioned, everyone was shocked again.
Everyone's heart was beating wildly with excitement.
They couldn't describe the excitement and anticipation they felt.
They all looked at Shen Yueyao with burning eyes.
Everyone wanted to speak, but was afraid that they had heard it wrong.
I wanted to whisper, but I didn't dare.
They could only look at Shen Yueyao with burning eyes of expectation. At this moment, everyone was concentrating intently, fearing that they had misheard any key information.
Shen Yueyao looked at everyone's eyes and probably understood what they were thinking.
She said loudly: "You heard it right, I will give you all your year-end bonuses later."
"The year-end bonus is different from the usual bonus. It is paid according to the performance of the whole year."
"This bonus is also calculated based on attendance and work performance..."
Shen Yueyao explained briefly.
Anyway, if everyone works hard, doesn't come in late or leave early, and doesn't ask for leave, there will be more.
Everyone understands the company's rules and regulations.
Daily wages are also calculated according to these, so no one will have any objections.
They originally thought that a month's annual leave was already a surprise, but they didn't expect there would be a bonus as well.
Even if the bonus is only one or two taels of silver, it is a very exciting thing for them.
Because year-end bonuses needed to be distributed and there were many people working in the workshop, not only did Old Madam Meng and Su Daya, Su Erya, Su Xueyi and Su Xiuye come to help, she also arranged for a few trustworthy people to help.
If you follow the procedure, there won't be any problems.
Shen Yueyao said according to the list: "Li Qiuju!"
"arrive!"
Mrs. Li, the wife of the village head, came out excitedly.
On weekdays, the first wife Li helps the Su family the most. Now she is the head manager. Shen Yueyao usually lets Li do some things.
This is Li's name.
Li didn't expect her name to be called first.
Shen Yueyao took out twelve taels of silver and gave it to Li, saying, "Aunt Li, take a look at this and check the bonus list again. If you are sure there is no problem, mark it."
Li looked at the twelve taels of silver in her hand and her eyes widened in shock.
“This, this…”
She cupped her hands together, her lips trembling, and she was unable to speak.
My tongue is spinning.
She never expected the year-end bonus to be so much, it overturned her imagination.
Just holding this silver, her hands were shaking with excitement.
Li couldn't believe it, and after a while she found her voice and said, "Boss, this...is this too much?"
Shen Yueyao smiled and explained, "It's not much, Aunt Li. You're not only busy with the workshop, but also do a great job when I assign you to do something. I don't have to worry about it that much. This is what you deserve, so just take it."
"If you're sure it's okay, just draw it."
Li naturally knew how much silver she had, and she also recognized the Arabic numerals on the bonus form.
Now everyone in the workshop can recognize Arabic numerals.
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master."
Li bowed deeply in gratitude.
Although Dongjia is young, it does not prevent her from being grateful and admiring him.
She was willing to bow to her boss.
Now their family is living a better life, all thanks to their boss.
Even though she was the head of the village, her conditions were only slightly better than those of the other villagers. She was reluctant to buy things or eat meat or white flour rice, and her family could not have enough to eat every meal.
But now it’s different. Not only have they saved money, they can also eat meat and white flour every meal and still be full.
Both sons learned the skills from him.
The boss asked Lin Hong to learn the job of making the kang.
Since Lin Hong learned it, it has become a skill.
Many people asked him to take people to make the kang.
Lin Hong made a lot of money for this.
Having this skill really gives you freedom and a lot more income.
Besides, the boss trusts them and usually asks Lin Hong to do any construction work.
The youngest son is now in charge of the business side of things.
Her daughter-in-law also worked in the workshop.
The grandchildren are now half grown up and can take care of themselves.
If something happened at home and her grandchildren came to call her, she would tell her employer, and the employer would be very understanding and let her go home.
She knew that the boss took good care of them.
And although she works in a workshop now, she is respected in the workshop because she is the manager and is valued by the boss.
She looks forward to coming to work every day and doesn't feel tired.
The most important thing is to earn wages and bonuses, which makes me motivated.
Sure enough, the boss was really good to them.
You are really generous.
Now I can have a good New Year and buy more things.
Li's eyes were red, and he drew a line behind his name with trembling hands.
The people queuing at the back looked at Li's expression after she came over from the front and felt a little strange. They didn't understand why her eyes turned red.
Shen Yueyao didn't waste any time and continued to call the names of the people below.
Call everyone over one by one and let them come to collect their prize money.
The bonus is at least seven or eight taels of silver.
Everyone was so excited.
Everyone then understood why Li had that expression just now.
Even they were so excited and moved that they were speechless.
Some of them even began to wipe away their tears quietly.
"Thank you, Boss."
"Boss, you are so kind to us."
Everyone was grateful to Shen Yueyao from the bottom of their hearts.
