After leaving Manfulou, Zhang Hulan bought a few pottery jars, which she would use to store pig brains.
Zhang Hulan and Zhang Hujun were walking on the way home in the afterglow of the sunset, and Zhang Hujun was very happy.
"Big sister, you are amazing. You earn three or four taels of silver a day. If you continue like this, you will be able to earn a fortune of ten thousand taels in a few years."
Zhang Hulan said with a smile: "Brother, this is just the beginning. I will help you make a lot of money in the future."
Zhang Hujun smiled foolishly and said, "Okay, from now on, I'll listen to my elder sister. We'll do whatever my elder sister says."
When I got home, Wang and the others had already cooked the meal.
After dinner, Zhang Hulan paid the workers sixty cents for the two days' wages.
Zhang Hubing and Xiang Chunhua took one hundred and twenty coins. Holding the one hundred and twenty copper coins in their hands, Xiang Chunhua was very happy.
Sometimes they would still go up the mountain to dig Polygonum multiflorum in the morning, but they could only dig a few pounds. They would still go to the mountain to look for it whenever they had time. One pound cost 15 wen, and a few pounds would cost dozens of wen.
Now that she has an extra sixty cents income every day, Xiang Chunhua feels that her life is full of hope.
Zhang Hujun and Li also paid 120 wen.
Zhang Hulan also gave 60 cents to Zhang Dahahua and Zhang Xiaojun respectively.
Zhang Dahua and Zhang Xiaojun were both a little excited, "Aunt, we have one too?"
"You guys also worked, so of course you get paid."
Zhang Dahua and Zhang Xiaojun took the copper coins and gave them to Li.
Xiang Chunhua felt a little jealous when she saw Zhang Hulan gave Zhang Xiaojun and Zhang Dahua 60 coins each. But she just felt jealous and didn't dare to say anything.
She had some understanding of Zhang Hulan's temper. If she dared to say anything, she would definitely be scolded, and her job of 30 cents a day might even be ruined.
Wang also had sixty cents.
Wang waved her hand and said, "I'll forget it."
Zhang Hulan forced the copper coins to Wang, "How can we just let it go? You also helped with the work, so of course you have to pay me."
Zhang Hulan then said: "From now on, I will not settle wages every day, but settle them all at the end of each month."
Everyone had no objection, and they were not worried that Zhang Hulan would run away.
In the evening, Li said she would help Zhang Hulan prepare the braised meat for tomorrow morning, but Zhang Hulan asked them to go back. She only needed to light the fire and stew it, and she could do it herself.
county seat.
Shopkeeper Hao was counting on an abacus at the counter, with an unconcealable smile on his face.
Manfulou's business tonight was much better than before. Some people came to eat at noon and then brought their families or friends to eat in the evening. Some people heard that Manfulou's braised meat tasted very good and came to try it. The braised meat that Zhang Hulan sent in the afternoon was almost sold out.
Diagonally opposite Manfulou, there is also a restaurant called Zuixianglou.
Ding Mingao, the owner of Zui Xiang Lou, looked at the booming Manfulou diagonally opposite with an expressionless face.
The waiter said, "Boss, half of the people eating here are gone tonight. They all went to eat braised pork across the street. Is the braised pork that delicious?"
Ding Mingao said, "You will watch the door tomorrow. If you see a man and a woman driving a donkey cart to the door of Manfulou, call me immediately."
The waiter asked in confusion: "Boss, who are you waiting for?"
"Just watch it if you're told to. Why are you asking so many questions?"
The waiter's head shrank, and he quickly said, "Okay, shopkeeper."
In the backyard of the county government office, Wu Deyong and Ye Hongyun had already finished dinner.
After tasting the braised pork, Wu Deyong also said it was delicious. He ate one piece and then went for the second piece. When he got the third piece, Ye Hongyun took the plate away and didn't let him eat more.
Ye Hongyun didn't eat much herself and gave the plate of braised meat to the maids and servants.
I am taking a walk to help digest my food. This is what Zhang Hulan requested, saying that "If you walk a hundred steps after a meal, you can live to be ninety-nine."
Wu Deyong touched his big belly and sighed. He could gain weight even by drinking water, let alone eating meat.
Ye Hongyun said, "Master, today Zhang Hulan taught me a set of exercises that can help you lose weight. You can follow me and do it later."
"Aerobics that can help you lose weight? What are aerobics?"
Ye Hongyun didn't know how to explain it to Wu Deyong, so she said, "You'll understand when you do it with me later."
Wu Deyong said: "Then don't wait, do it now. It would be great if it can really help you lose weight."
Ye Hongyun said, "It's only been a while since we had dinner. We have to wait a while before we can do it. Otherwise, it will be bad for our health."
Wu Deyong said with a smile: "Madam, you know a lot now, and you have also studied the way of keeping in good health. Madam, you have been worrying about me all these years. I am so lucky to marry you!"
Ye Hongyun rolled his eyes at Wu Deyong and said, "You idiot! You're the only one who can talk!"
Wu Deyong said proudly, "If I didn't know how to tell you, how could I have persuaded Madam to come home? There were many young men who wanted to marry Madam back then. Fortunately, I acted quickly, otherwise I would have missed out on such a good wife like Madam, and I would have regretted it for the rest of my life."
Ye Hongyun pinched Wu Deyong and said, "Humph! You still want to deceive me with sweet words? I am not the girl who was so easy to deceive as I was back then."
Ye Hongyun then sighed and said, "I miss Yang'er a little bit. I wonder how he is doing in the capital? I don't know if he misses me. Master, I want to bring Yang'er here."
Wu Deyong said, "That brat must be missing his wife. But it's not the right time to bring him here now. Let's wait until the beginning of the new year. When we go back home after the New Year, we can bring him here together."
Ye Hongyun said: "I'm afraid that my parents won't let us take Yang'er away."
Wu Deyong said, "It's okay, we'll just leave quietly then..."
The couple walked side by side in the garden, followed by their maids and servants.
The maids and servants were very envious of the relationship between their master and mistress, which was truly stronger than gold.
But this warm scene did not last long.
After walking for a while, Wu Deyong was dragged by Ye Hongyun to do some exercise. Don't get the wrong idea, it's a serious exercise, not a bed exercise...
Wu Deyong's physique was even worse than Ye Hongyun's. Ye Hongyun did two sets of movements before saying it was no good, but Wu Deyong didn't even finish one set before he said it was no good.
Wu Deyong took a break and then continued to do it for a while. In the end, he could only do three movements and could not hold on any longer.
Ye Hongyun didn't force Wu Deyong to complete the whole set of movements. Zhang Hulan also told him to proceed step by step and increase the amount of exercise a little bit every day.
The next day, Zhang Hulan got up early.
Bring the braised meat in the pot to a boil and heat it up, and cook the pig brain at the same time.
The cooked pig brains were placed in a clay pot with some brine added. Shopkeeper Hao only needed to ask the cook to heat it directly in the clay pot.
As soon as Zhang Hulan arrived at the door of Manfulou, the waiter from Zuixianglou opposite immediately went to inform Ding Mingao.
