Chapter 568 Persimmon Deliciousness
The person Ning Mianmian admires most in her heart is still Shen Yueyao.
So she thought that if she had any ideas, she could just ask her sister and find out.
After dinner, it was dark.
Ning Mianmian lit the oil lamp in front of the table.
In the past, people would go to bed after dark to save money on oil lamps.
But since the family started making money and their conditions improved, the two of them got used to lighting an oil lamp for a while before going to bed at night.
Either we read a book, or we chat and discuss things about the hot pot restaurant.
Even if we just stay alone quietly for a while, we can still feel the companionship of each other.
They feel that lighting oil lamps or candles at night and having people and smoke inside the house creates a warm atmosphere.
Ning Mianmian still likes to read vernacular stories.
She especially liked to read storybooks by lighting an oil lamp at night, as she felt that this allowed her to immerse herself in the stories.
Shen Shaojing looked at her and said, "You are still reading storybooks."
Ning Mianmian nodded and said, "Of course, the story is so interesting."
Shen Shaojing said: "Those stories are all fake."
Ning Mianmian said, "Some of the stories are quite heartwarming and interesting. Reading them can help kill some time."
"I bought these books at the bookshop over at the pier."
"That bookstore is owned by my sister. I use the membership card she gave me, and the books are even cheaper."
"But the regular price of books is much cheaper now than before. My sister told me it's because of printing technology."
Ning Mianmian didn't know what printing technology was exactly.
But she does appreciate the benefits.
"The money I used to spend on one book can now buy five books. It's a great deal."
"After I finish reading these books, I can take them to our hot pot restaurant and let people who come to eat there read them."
"Or if you have time, you can ask a storyteller to tell you a story."
Ning Mianmian and Shen Shaojing opened a hot pot restaurant. During festivals or events, they would invite storytellers to tell original stories or stories written by the storytellers.
The customer response has been very good.
At that time, even though there were many people queuing outside, everyone didn't feel the queue was long because they were listening to the stories.
Shen Shaojing saw that Ning Mianmian liked to read storybooks, so he didn't interfere too much.
In fact, this is also due to the influence of his sister.
This made him feel that it was good for women to have things they liked and wanted to do.
In the past, Ning Mianmian stayed at home while he went to take care of things in the store. Sometimes when he came home, he would not only bring some snacks for Ning Mianmian, but also like to bring her storybooks.
Shen Shaojing reads management books.
This is the book his sister gave him.
He will study it carefully.
He also had some paper in his hand, and he would write down some ideas on the paper.
If there was something he didn't understand, he would write it down and find time to ask his sister.
However, perhaps because of his rich experience in running a store, Shen Shaojing can understand books on economics and management.
Also very inspiring.
These books were all taken out by Shen Yueyao from the space study.
Now that the space has been upgraded, the books in the space can be changed to the handwriting and typesetting style of today's era.
It won't make people feel there is anything wrong.
So Shen Yueyao took it out to show Fourth Brother so that he could learn more.
Shen Shaojing also often kept his sister's words in mind.
After reading for a while and seeing that it was getting late, the two of them washed up and went to bed.
When it was time to go to bed, Ning Mianmian felt a little uncomfortable lying in the quilt.
Seeing that she was not asleep, Shen Shaojing said, “Can’t you sleep in a strange place?”
Ning Mianmian shook her head and said, "No, I just miss our hometown. Although the climate here is much warmer than our Xinghua Village, it has a damp and cold feeling, which is different from the dry and cold weather in our north."
"Although it doesn't snow much here in winter, I still like the north where it snows. I feel that snow in winter makes it feel like winter."
"The most important thing is that I'm used to sleeping on a heated kang. I'm not used to sleeping on a bed like this in such a cold weather."
"Especially when I hear the dogs barking in the farmyard outside, I can't help but miss home."
At this moment, Ning Mianmian couldn't help but miss home.
I miss the warm kang at home, the snow at home in winter, and the lively atmosphere in the village.
Yes, because the vermicelli workshop business is so hot now, the number of vermicelli workshops has expanded several times.
Now, not only people from Xinghua Village go to the workshop to help, but many nearby villagers also go to work in the workshop and receive wages every month. Everyone is very happy.
So now, Xinghua Village is very lively every day.
Some people even set up small stalls next to the workshops.
There was no market in their Xinghua Village, but now a market has spontaneously formed.
There were only a few stalls at the beginning, but later on there were more and more stalls.
Everyone works in the workshop, gets paid, and when they have money in their hands, they are happy to buy some things.
It’s not like before, when I was reluctant to spend a penny and wanted to spend it in two halves.
At the beginning, many people went to work in the workshop, and they were very frugal and brought their own lunch.
Later, after everyone earned their wages, they would occasionally buy something at the workshop door.
But things are cheap too.
Later, a market spontaneously formed there, and they now also go to the workshop to buy things.
It's in the village, so it's very convenient to get there.
Villagers from nearby villages also like to come to the market in Xinghua Village to buy things.
Ning Mianmian really likes the lively atmosphere in the village now.
And it’s really comfortable to sleep on a heated kang every day.
I didn’t feel cold at all in winter.
Shen Shaojing said: "I like our hometown too."
Xinghua Village is where he grew up and he has feelings for the village.
Therefore, he bought most of the vegetable ingredients he needed for his chain store in Fucheng, a county town, from the villagers.
Now the villagers of Xinghua Village are spontaneously growing some fresh vegetables in their vegetable fields and yards to supply the hot pot restaurant.
The living conditions of the villagers in Xinghua Village are much better now than before.
…
The next morning, after breakfast, Shen Shaojing and Ning Mianmian went back first.
After they returned by carriage, it was already noon. The two of them went to find Shen Yueyao and told her about the situation in the farm.
When she heard that there were persimmons here, Shen Yueyao's eyes lit up.
"It's great to have persimmons. We can make persimmon cakes, dried persimmons, persimmon jam, persimmon wine, and so on. We can make a lot of delicious food with them."
“Are there really that many persimmons over there?”
Shen Yueyao was very excited at this moment.
If there really were a large area of persimmons in Xilin Town, we could plan and develop it here.
Ning Mianmian nodded and said, "Yes, a lot of persimmons."
"But sister, we don't know how to cook these delicacies."
Shen Yueyao said: “If you want to open a workshop and make such delicious food, I can teach you.”
Ning Mianmian was touched, "Sister, you are so kind to us."
Ning Mianmian was also wondering what persimmons could be used for.
I didn’t expect that my sister already had a solution.
Yes, you can open a workshop.
Shen Shaojing said: "But can we come here?"
Shen Yueyao said: "You can arrange a trusted steward to help manage the workshop."
Shen Yueyao believed that when Shen Shaojing was doing business in the early days, he already knew how to train his subordinates.
I believe he has a lot of people available now.
These people can be arranged to manage the workshop.
Anyway, the workshop business belongs to fourth brother.
As for employing people, I believe Fourth Brother has his own set of rules and regulations.
