Chapter 369 Too Shocked
Shen Yueyao took the candied haws from Su Xueyi and smiled sweetly.
Her eyes are already beautiful, and when she smiles like this, her eyes are clear and bright, with a hint of sweetness, like sweet glutinous rice candy.
"It's so kind of you!"
The voice was so sweet that it touched Su Xueyi's heart.
Seeing Shen Yueyao's happy expression, Su Xueyi's heart softened.
He just wanted to keep her smile and her happiness.
Su Xueyi doesn't care what others think, as long as Yao Niang is happy.
There is no such thing as eating on the street being indecent.
That was not the case with him at all. He was willing to treat her like a little girl.
Mrs. Meng was very pleased to see that her son had become more understanding.
She will feel relieved as long as her son and daughter-in-law have a good relationship.
Shen Yueyao ate two and found them really delicious. She didn't know whether it was because the candied haws themselves were sweet or because she felt sweet in her heart.
She passed the candied haws to Su Xueyi's mouth and said, "Have one too."
Su Xueyi looked at Shen Yueyao's expectant eyes, smiled indulgently, and then really ate one.
He was not keen on eating these things, but if it could make Yao Niang happy, he would be willing to eat them.
Dabao and Erbao were quietly eating the candied haws in their hands. They were automatically immune to the love and affection between their parents.
Su Xiuye looked at the good relationship between his third brother and his wife. He was happy for his third brother, but he also looked a little dazed.
After experiencing some things, Su Xiuye realized that people should really cherish the people around them.
It’s a pity that he didn’t understand when he was young.
It was only after the Su family was exiled that he realized how good Yang Yanran was.
But now that Yang Yanran is doing well, he feels relieved about many things.
Just some emotion.
Su Daya was eating candied haws and looked back. She saw her father looking at her third uncle and aunt with a dazed and envious look.
She looked at her father's figure, and for some reason, her heart ached.
I feel a little sorry for her father, and it makes me feel a little distressed.
Su Daya slowed down her pace, walked to the back, and said to Su Xiuye, "Dad!"
Su Xiuye came back to his senses and said, "Daughter, what's wrong? What do you want to eat? Dad will buy it for you."
Su Daya shook her head and said, "I don't need anything. Third Aunt bought it all for me. But Dad, I want to tell you that you should find someone to take care of you. Someone who knows how to take care of you. As long as she treats you well, I will recognize her as my mother."
Su Xiuye was shocked and couldn't believe that these were the words of his daughter.
Su Xiuye looked at his daughter's eyes that showed she loved him, and his eyes reddened. His daughter had grown up and become sensible, and she knew how to feel sorry for him as her father.
"My daughter, Daddy is fine. Daddy just wants you to be well. You also..."
He also wanted to find a good young man for Daya who would love and care for her.
But he was afraid of irritating Daya, so when some words came to his lips, Su Xiuye paused and didn't dare to say them.
Su Daya felt a little uncomfortable when she saw her father being cautious and not daring to speak.
Only now did she realize how paranoid and stubborn she had been in the past, and how she didn't care about other people's feelings when she spoke. At that time, her words were very hurtful to her father.
So her father didn't dare to say some things to her. Even though they were words of concern, he was afraid that she would be unhappy.
She felt that she was a little unfilial.
"Dad, just tell me what you want to say. Don't worry too much."
"I know what you mean. Don't worry. I believe in love and feelings. I will get married soon. You don't have to worry."
Su Daya is very grateful to her uncle and aunt.
Influenced by her parents, she may have been a little paranoid since she was a child, but after spending more time with her third uncle and aunt, her heart seemed to be healed.
Seeing the relationship between her third uncle and aunt, she believed in love even more and had more expectations.
"And Third Aunt told me that she would help me take a look when she went to the capital. But I think, after what happened before, many wealthy families probably have opinions on this. This kind of thing can't be said to have no impact at all. I do have a little inferiority complex in my heart, so I thought I don't care about family background, as long as the person is good and treats me well. I can learn more skills from Third Aunt, and I can also earn money, so I will definitely live a good life."
After hearing Daya say this, Su Xiuye felt much more relieved.
He was really afraid that Daya would get stuck in a rut.
"That's good, that's good."
As a father, he naturally hopes that his daughter will live a good life.
"So Dad, you have to think about yourself too. I'm your daughter, so naturally I want you to live a good life."
After listening to what Daya had just said, Su Xiuye felt grateful to his third brother's wife from the bottom of his heart.
He knew that it was because his third brother's wife was a very good-natured person with a broad mind and vision. With her guidance and care, Daya had broadened her horizons and was able to say such words.
Su Xiuye nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you too."
Su Daya smiled and said, "That's right."
Her mother treated her and her father like that, she no longer cared about her mother, she only wanted her father to be well.
But don't be influenced by her mother.
"When the time comes, I must ask Third Aunt to help me take a look. Third Aunt has the best eyesight, like a piercing eye. She can tell whether it's a human or a demon at a glance."
Su Daya's words were a joke, but they were also the truth.
Anyway, the person she trusts most is her third aunt.
Shen Yueyao seemed to have heard something, and turned around and said with a smile: "Daya, what you said has turned me into a magic mirror."
Su Daya ran a few steps to Shen Yueyao and said, "I just think Third Aunt is amazing."
Shen Yueyao touched Su Daya's hair and said, "You are very good now. You have learned so many things. It is also great that you know how to calculate more now. Be more confident."
Su Daya nodded and said, "Yeah."
She was actually very self-conscious and didn't dare to go out at first, but with the care and guidance of her Third Aunt, she gradually let go of the past and her temperament improved.
When she thinks about her past temper now, she wants to slap herself hard.
"Look, there's a lion dancer over there."
"It's at the entrance of the restaurant."
"Let's go and take a look."
Everyone just happened to see a lion dance, and then firecrackers were heard.
Su Xueyi and the others followed over to see.
In order to attract customers and promote New Year's Eve dinner, the restaurant invited lion dancers to attract customers.
Su Erya said, "This restaurant is really good at business. They know how to use this method to promote the New Year's Eve dinner."
Su Daya said, "I heard that many large stores now know how to do sales promotions, and many of them learned from Aunt San."
Shen Yueyao listened, and the corners of her mouth twitched. This is also called involution.
Dabao and Erbao's eyes lit up with excitement as they watched the lion dance.
However, there were many people in front, and Su Xueyi was tall, so holding Dabao would allow Dabao to see more clearly.
Even when Shen Yueyao was holding Erbao, she couldn't give him a better view.
Su Xiuye saw this scene and said, "Come, Erbao, uncle will carry you."
Erbao wanted to watch the lion dance, but he also looked at Shen Yueyao. Shen Yueyao said, "Your father can only hold one person. There are too many people now. Let your uncle hold you, then you can watch the lion dance better."
Su Xiuye and Su Xueyi are both tall, which is a great advantage in such a busy place.
Have a broad vision.
Su Xiuye naturally carried Erbao on his shoulders.
The two babies giggled excitedly, and were very curious and excited watching the lion dance in front of them.
During a break in the lion dance, the restaurant owner came out and bowed to everyone, saying loudly, "Welcome everyone to our restaurant to order food. We have just launched several new dishes, including hot and sour noodles, hot and sour potato shreds, and stewed chicken with potatoes..."
"These are all fresh dishes. Everyone is welcome to order. The quantity is limited, so first come, first served."
Shen Yueyao was stunned for a moment, and Madam Meng said, "It seems that the owner of this restaurant is a smart person. He probably ordered potatoes from the villagers, so he used this to promote the dish."
Su Xiuye said, "Several villages near our village grow potatoes, but they haven't been promoted elsewhere. They don't exist elsewhere, so people are looking for something new and will probably order their food from here."
Su Xueyi nodded and said, "There is also a restaurant like this in the capital city. It should be a restaurant that wants to attract wealthy families to order dishes."
Many people don’t know what potatoes are. When they ask what they are, the shopkeeper gives them a mysterious smile and says that you’ll know when you go to the store and try them.
Shen Yueyao knew that although the potato yield was high, it was not easy to promote it comprehensively.
First, there must be potatoes, and then everyone must know how to grow them.
Moreover, even though the potato yield is high now, there are not enough potatoes to share among the families in the village, and many people have to leave some potatoes for their relatives to plant in the spring.
You can't eat as much as you want.
It is estimated that it will be promoted to other places later.
Tired of shopping, they decided to find a restaurant to eat.
We rarely visited the county town before, so we don’t know much about the restaurants there.
Shen Yueyao asked Madam Meng, "Mother, what would you like to eat?"
Madam Meng said, "Just eat something to fill your stomach. We'll be back in the afternoon."
When they came, they took a horse-drawn carriage. When they arrived at the county town, they parked the carriage in the backyard of the hot pot restaurant. When they left, they just drove the carriage out.
Shen Yueyao asked Daya, Erya and the others.
They also feel like eating something casually.
In the past, if they were buying New Year's goods before the Lunar New Year, they would at most buy some necessities for the New Year in the town, and would not dare to buy anything else.
Not to mention going shopping in the county town, all they think about every day is just surviving.
Thinking of those things and that time, Mrs. Meng felt a little sad.
After making the comparison, they cherish their current life where they have enough food, clothes and money.
As for whether they can return to the capital in the future and what they can do, they haven't thought about it too much yet.
They are now shopping in the county town, thinking about what delicious food to eat.
The next thing is what good things to buy for the New Year.
Anyway, Third Aunt prepared new clothes for them. They liked them very much and were reluctant to wear them. They planned to wear them during the Chinese New Year.
Su Daya and Su Erya have also eaten all kinds of delicious food made by their third aunt. They didn't crave any food when they came to the county town for shopping. They just liked to feel the excitement of buying New Year's goods. They also had a meal outside to feel this lively atmosphere.
As for what to eat, they think it's all fine.
"Aunt San, we'll listen to you."
Madam Meng also nodded and said, "Mrs. Yao, you can make the arrangements. We just need to go out for a stroll and join in the fun."
Everyone also listened to Shen Yueyao's opinion.
She said everyone should eat whatever they want.
In fact, Shen Yueyao didn't know what was delicious in the county town.
There are naturally noodle shops, wonton shops, and dumpling shops in the county town, and of course there are also hot pot restaurants.
It’s just that the queue at the hot pot restaurant is very long. If you don’t want to queue, you can go to Si Ge’s hot pot restaurant for dinner.
But now hot pot restaurants are so popular, and they can eat at home, so they don’t want to join in the fun.
"Let's take a look first. There are quite a lot of delicious foods on this street."
Shen Yueyao couldn't think of what to eat for a moment, so she took everyone for a walk.
Suddenly she saw a small shop with the words fried noodles and fried rice written on it.
Shen Yueyao's expression changed and she said, "I didn't expect there is a fried noodle shop here."
Shen Yueyao guessed that the fans might have been bought from her parents.
Erbao said, "Mom's fried pancakes are delicious."
Dabao and Erbao can both read. When they saw the plaque above, they thought of the fried pancakes made by their mother.
Indeed, Madam Meng and the others had eaten the fried cakes made by Shen Yueyao, but they had never eaten fried noodles.
Previously, they made hot and sour noodles, duck blood noodles and other foods with the vermicelli that Shen Yueyao brought back from her mother's home. They were all foods with soup. They had never eaten this kind of fried noodles.
Shen Yueyao looked at everyone's curious expressions and said, "Let's go in and try it."
When they heard Shen Yueyao say this, everyone laughed. They really wanted to come in and try it just now.
But everyone is used to listening to Shen Yueyao's ideas.
Of course, Shen Yueyao knew what everyone was thinking by looking at their eyes, so she took everyone to have a taste.
If she likes it, she can make it at home.
Su Erya came up to Shen Yueyao and whispered, "Aunt San, are fried noodles made with vermicelli?"
Shen Yueyao said: "That should be the case. Let's see if their store is like this."
The shop is not big, with only eight small tables in the front. It is a bit crowded and everyone can barely sit down.
When they went in, there was just a seat available.
Shen Yueyao looked around and suddenly saw a painting on the wall, which showed fried noodles and fried rice.
Although they are all painted with pen and ink, they can still give people an intuitive feeling.
Shen Yueyao couldn't help but marvel in her heart. People in ancient times were also good at doing business. Even if there were no photos or watercolor or oil painting materials, they would use brushes to draw the specific appearance of the food so that customers could see it more clearly.
The proprietress was entertaining guests at the front desk. When she saw Shen Yueyao and the others arrive, she quickly smiled and asked enthusiastically, "What would you like to eat, my dear guests? Our signature dish is fried noodles. We also have臊子面 and 酱面炒饭. We have just introduced fried rice noodles, and customers say they are very delicious. Would you like to try it?"
Shen Yueyao glanced at the proprietress and felt that she was quite good at sales.
No wonder the shop is not big and is located at the end of the street, but the business is still pretty good.
Shen Yueyao smiled and turned to look at Madam Meng and said, "Mom, what do you want to eat?"
Madam Meng looked at the paintings on the wall and said, "Just have a bowl of fried noodles."
Su Daya and Su Erya also ordered fried noodles.
Su Xiuye also said he wanted to try a bowl of fried noodles.
Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi also ordered this, and naturally ordered fried noodles for Dabao and Erbao as well.
There were quite a lot of people in the group, so they made two tables.
Shen Yueyao, Su Xueyi, Dabao and Erbao sat at the same table, while Madam Meng, Su Xiuye, Daya and Erya sat at the same table.
They ordered fried noodles.
After a while, the proprietress brought it up from the kitchen.
A big bowl is quite filling and you can feel full just by looking at it.
While they were waiting for their meal, the guests at the other two tables finished their meals and left, and soon more customers came to eat.
It can be seen that there is a constant flow of customers and the business is better than expected.
Normally, when it’s very cold, people like to drink some soup when they go out shopping.
Just when Shen Yueyao was confused, the proprietress brought them the prepared fried noodles.
After a while, the proprietress brought a few more bowls of hot soup.
The lady boss enthusiastically explained, "Sir, eating fried noodles alone might be a little tough. Now that the weather is cold, we have prepared hot soup for everyone, free of charge."
"If it's not enough, then add more for free."
Shen Yueyao suddenly realized that this proprietress really knew how to do business.
It is true that if you only eat dry rice, you will feel a little thirsty after you are full.
It was so cold that even the water you brought would have gone cold, but the store had hot soup, which tasted different.
This soup is called soup, but it only has a little egg drop and some vegetables. The soup is relatively thin, but it can be drunk as hot water. It can quench thirst and warm the body. It is really good.
Shen Yueyao thanked them, and everyone started eating.
I have to say, it tastes really good.
Although the fried noodles only contain vegetables and a little egg, they taste good, are delicious to eat, and smell good.
Even the eldest and second babies ate with spoons and enjoyed it very much.
After shopping for a whole morning, everyone was indeed tired. They felt very relaxed to be able to sit here and eat some of their favorite food.
After eating for a while, Dabao felt less hungry and said to Shen Yueyao, "Mom, are these vermicelli made by grandma?"
Shen Yueyao said: "Maybe, but maybe others will also be fans."
Shen Yueyao felt that the taste was that, but she couldn't guarantee that it came from her parents' vermicelli workshop.
The boss lady heard what was said and said, "Hey, young lady, are your family members fans?"
Shen Yueyao looked at the proprietress's enthusiastic smile and had a good impression of her. She nodded and said, "Indeed, my parents opened a vermicelli workshop and made vermicelli."
The proprietress was stunned, as if she had thought of something, and said excitedly, "Young lady, I may be a little presumptuous, but I wonder if it would be convenient for you to ask, do your family members know anyone from the Ning family?"
When Shen Yueyao heard the name, she was also stunned, "Boss, do you also know the Ning family?"
The proprietress looked at Shen Yueyao's expression and knew that she must know him. She said happily, "Oh, young lady, my last name is He. My cousin's husband is from the second branch of the Ning family. I benefited from the favor of the eldest daughter of the Ning family. I bought vermicelli from her in-laws and got a discount on the vermicelli. It was they who told us that we could make fried vermicelli and gave us some suggestions. That's how our store got better. I'm grateful to them from the bottom of my heart."
"But now that I've heard what the young lady said, I realize that despite our relationship, I feel a sense of closeness in my heart."
The proprietress seemed to be speaking from the heart.
Shen Yueyao also had a conversation with the proprietress. When it was time to eat, the proprietress refused to take any money, saying that it was fate that they met by chance, and she would not accept a penny.
Shen Yueyao felt a little embarrassed.
Shen Yueyao said, "Sister He, can you please excuse me for a moment and talk?"
"sure."
Boss Lady He followed Shen Yueyao to the side.
Shen Yueyao said, "Sister He, the taste of your fried noodles is indeed good, but the seasoning can be improved..."
Shen Yueyao made some key suggestions, and the proprietress's eyes widened with excitement.
She looked at Shen Yueyao, and seemed to have figured something out in her mind. Her lips moved excitedly, as if she wanted to say something, but because she was too shocked for a moment, she forgot to speak.
Shen Yueyao said: "Not only can we make fried noodles, we can also make fried pancakes. They both taste good. Fried pancakes can be made like this..."
Shen Yueyao explained all the methods.
The proprietress excitedly grasped Shen Yueyao's hand and said, "Big sister, if I'm not mistaken, you are the rumored Madam Shen, the magical Madam Shen that the Ning family said was so famous?"
"I know you researched these fans."
Shen Yueyao was stunned. She had never thought that she could become famous.
"Amazing, I don't know, my last name is indeed Shen."
"Sure enough, it's you, Madam Shen. I'm so excited to see you today. I can brag about it for a long time when I go back."
The proprietress held Shen Yueyao's hand, her eyes red, and she forgot about doing business.
"Madam Shen, to be honest, our store's business was very average before, and we were almost unable to continue. You don't know how worried we were. It was thanks to my cousin's relationship with the Ning family and the guidance of the Ning family's eldest daughter that we were able to open this store. If it weren't for their help, I wouldn't have known about the fans, and I wouldn't even be able to buy them..."
The proprietress said a lot and her eyes were red.
Shen Yueyao sighed with emotion and said, "Your shop drawing is also very good. It makes people understand it at a glance."
"If possible, you can also make a vertical picture and put it at the door so that everyone can see it at a glance."
"Yes, yes, why didn't I think of this idea?"
