Zhao Yue, the fourth aunt of Lin who had been silent the whole time, also said: "Sister-in-law, stop complaining. Just look at the cooking skills of the second sister-in-law. When Yang Liu brought it in just now, I smelled it and was greedy.
If you want to return it, I won’t agree. I didn’t eat enough of the braised meat that Lin He brought to town last time.”
Mrs. Lin complained helplessly: "Look at how greedy you are."
Several nieces and nephews were standing by and watching everyone joking and laughing.
Only one young woman smiled and said, "Mom, you've all tasted Second Aunt's cooking, but I haven't. Is it true that a daughter who's married off is like spilled water?"
Following the voice, Li Yu looked over and guessed that this was probably Zhong's daughter - Lin Xing.
He looks like the Lin family, but it seems his personality is like that of the Zhong family.
Hearing this, Li Yu also laughed: "It seems that my sister-in-law is going to incur public wrath."
Wang laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back. "Sister-in-law, be careful that your niece and niece's wives will blame you. Hahahaha, they all want to eat the dishes cooked by their second aunt."
The angry Zhong slapped her and called her "you funny ghost".
As we chatted and laughed, the dishes were ready and everyone started to eat.
There were three tables in total. Li Yuzhi sighed and said, "What a prosperous family!"
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much, and as expected, Li Yu's cooking skills were praised again.
After eating, everyone sat together and chatted for a while before going home.
After all, Li Yu's family has to set up a stall tomorrow, and Lin He has to go to school.
Lin Ziran and his family also had to leave before dawn. He had to go to the cloth shop, his eldest son had to work, and his youngest son had to go to school. There was no time to delay.
Li hadn't been to town recently, as she was busy working on her manuscript at home. So she had no idea her book had become a hit in the storytelling community.
Everyone was speculating about who this relative was, especially Mrs. Zhou, for whom Li Yu's book had touched her heart.
When old people get older, they like to listen to stories about gods and immortals.
It is also very popular among young people. The protagonist encounters various ghosts and monsters during his travels. This type of story is widely loved by young people.
The response from young women was also good. Although there was no love line that girls liked, the story was easy to understand, and the customs and people of various places that the protagonist visited became the favorites of these girls who basically never went out.
This situation led to people coming to Yunshang Book Pavilion every day to ask if there was any stock of the book "The Peak of Cooking".
There are still many people who urge for updates.
I ask Chen Zongwen every day when the next one will be on the shelves.
Chen Zongwen has been feeling both happy and sad recently.
He was happy that his vision was right. This "Top of Cooking" became a huge hit. Even his Yunshang Bookstore became popular. Recently, people from the capital city have been asking to buy this storybook.
Sadly, the manual copying process was too slow. Even with the temporary addition of two copyists, only three books could be produced per day. The previous 200 copies were sold out on August 15th.
As for the latter part of this book, I don’t know how much Sister Li has written.
Someone comes to ask every day.
Ah! Sweet burden.
Of course, Li Yu knew nothing about what happened in the town.
She recently wrote in the morning and taught Lin Mei how to process wool in the afternoon.
The wool they buy is freshly sheared and untreated.
Thanks to a certain audio video in his previous life, Li Yu roughly knows how the ancients processed wool.
The wool must be washed first: use clean water and alkaline solution to wash the wool to remove impurities and grease. Li Yu uses wood ash.
Then use a cotton fluffing machine to fluff the washed wool to make it fluffy and soft.
Finally, the fluffed wool was spun into yarn. This step required a spinning wheel, and fortunately, Li Yu had an old spinning wheel at home, probably used by the previous owner.
In ancient times, the process of processing wool was relatively simple, without modern equipment and chemical reagents, so it required more manual labor and skills.
So Li Yu and Lin Mei have been very busy recently. They often stay busy in the house for an entire afternoon. It took them five days to spin 200 kilograms of wool into yarn.
Li Yu planned to start by teaching Lin Mei how to knit a simple scarf, letting her practice first, and then move on to sweaters, trousers, gloves and the like.
Yes, that’s right. Li Yu plans to let Lin Mei do the sweater and wool felt business.
But there was no rush for wool felt. Dolls didn't sell for much in a small town like Qingyan. After Lin He passed the exam, he could start this business. Right now, all he needed to do was let Lin Mei hone her skills.
Li Yu can't always follow Lin Mei, so she has to rely on herself to recruit people and teach skills in the future.
