Mrs. Mu sat alone in the living room, with a dignified demeanor.
When I turned my head unexpectedly, I saw a little girl of three or four years old appearing at my feet. She had two small buns and round eyes. She looked like a glutinous rice dumpling and was very cute.
"Auntie~" the little dumpling called in a baby voice.
Mrs. Mu was a little overwhelmed. She originally hated children and found them annoying, but when she looked at Sanbao, her heart trembled with cuteness.
She looked left and right, and seeing no one was around, she reached out and pinched the little dumpling's chubby little face.
In the yard, Wei Qing was sawing wood to make toys for the two little babies.
Mu Xiuwen also looked at it with great interest.
"Brother Wei, can you teach me?"
"what are you up to?"
"Make a gift for my wife." Mu Xiuwen said.
Made it for his wife?
Wei Qing had been indifferent to him, but after hearing this, he became a little more patient.
"I made this for the child. Women and children have different preferences. What do you want to make for your wife?"
Mu Xiuwen thought about it and quickly made a decision: "My wife likes to grow flowers, I will make a flowerpot for her!"
"Okay, let's make flower pots then."
Wei Qing used a saw to cut off two pieces of wood and gave one piece to Mu Xiuwen.
"We use this to hollow out the middle."
"Uh-huh!"
The two started working.
Mu Xiuwen was very serious, but he was clumsy, digging out the crumbs bit by bit. Then look at Wei Qing, his big hands were very nimble.
"Brother Wei, you are really amazing."
"Hmm." Wei Qing accepted his compliment.
"Does your wife also like to grow flowers?"
"Yes, my wife is like a delicate flower, so she likes to grow flowers. Look at this patch, it's all grown by my wife."
"This doesn't seem to be a flower, it's an insect repellent herb."
"Oh, it's grass. But my wife grows it, and the grass looks so good."
"My wife is also very capable. Now the Mu family is managed by my wife. I am a gigolo."
"Hehe, my wife is also very capable. Before, when I broke my leg, my wife also took care of me."
Wei Qing, who had been silent at first, suddenly opened up. The two of them were talking enthusiastically, each praising their own wives.
"After hollowing it out, use this to drill holes at the bottom. The roots of the flowers need to breathe so they can grow better." Wei Qing said.
Mu Xiuwen couldn't help but praise again: "Brother Wei, you are really amazing."
When it was done, Mu Xiuwen excitedly presented the flowerpot he made to Mrs. Mu.
Mrs. Mu looked at the "flower pot" that was dug into holes, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
"Ma'am, do you like it?"
Madam Mu was about to say something harsh, but when she glanced at Mu Xiuwen's red and swollen hands, her heart warmed.
"like."
Mu Xiuwen looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he stole a kiss on Mrs. Mu's face.
Madam Mu's face, which seemed to be frozen for years, melted and turned red. She glared at Mu Xiuwen and said, "Stop it!"
Tangli has already prepared lunch.
Tangli prepared six dishes and a soup: braised pork, steamed pork ribs with rice flour, steamed fish, tofu and eggplant, homemade roast chicken, stir-fried meat with alfalfa, and a potato chip. The soup was Tangli's specialty, winter melon and pork ribs soup.
These six dishes and one soup are very simple considering the Mu family's meal.
Mu Xiuwen was very excited.
Because Wei Qing praised his wife to the sky, Mu Xiuwen was successfully brainwashed and thought that the dishes cooked by Wei Qing's wife were also delicious.
Mrs. Mu was not very interested.
But as soon as she entered the dining room, Mrs. Mu sniffed and found it a little... fragrant.
"Auntie, sit down~" A little kid of five or six years old pulled out a chair and invited Madam Mu to sit down.
Mrs. Mu looked at the baby's trembling cheeks and her hands itched.
The feel of the little ball, who was just three years old, was so fascinating.
However, because there were other people around, she did not take any action. Her expression remained cold as she sat down on the chair.
Mu Xiuwen sat down next to her.
Wei Qing sat down next to Tang Li.
"Mrs. Mu, Mr. Mu, please start eating." Tang Li said with a smile.
When entertaining guests, it is natural that the guests should start eating first.
"Ma'am, come and eat."
Mr. Mu handed the chopsticks directly to Mrs. Mu.
Mrs. Mu picked up a piece of meat from the alfalfa fried meat. The meat was soft and tender and tasted very good.
Mrs. Mu couldn't help but take another bite. Suddenly, her taste buds opened up and the fragrance spread between her lips and tongue.
Even the best cook in the Mu Mansion can’t make food taste this good.
It smells so good.
"Madam Wei, how is this piece of meat made?" Madam Mu couldn't help but ask.
"Marinate the meat with cornstarch and salt for a quarter of an hour first, and the meat will be more tender," Tang Li explained.
"Why is this braised pork not greasy at all?"
"To make this dish delicious, you need to add more seasoning. I made a homemade seasoning packet for braised pork, which can remove the fishy and greasy smell and make the braised pork taste better."
"This steamed fish actually retains its original fragrance and is much better than braised fish."
Madam Mu praised every dish she ate, and her way of addressing Tangli changed from "Madam Wei" at the beginning to "sister-in-law" later.
After the meal, Mrs. Mu's stomach was full and she still felt a little unsatisfied.
"Mrs. Mu, if you like these dishes, I can write the recipe for you." Tang Li said.
Mrs. Mu looked at Tangli and liked him more and more.
This little girl is such a good cook, she is smart, and runs a rouge shop, which is just what she wants.
Tangli's suggestion really touched Mrs. Mu's heart.
Mrs. Mu loves to eat, but she is not as thick-skinned as her husband and cannot stay away. Tang Li gave her the recipe. If the cook in her house learned it, she would be able to eat such delicious food every day.
It’s beautiful when you think about it.
Moreover, Tangli is such a good cook, if he opened a restaurant, he would definitely make money, but he was willing to share his recipe with me...
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so polite. My maiden name is Jiang Yuelan, you can just call me 'Sister Lan'."
"Okay, Sister Lan, I'll go write the recipe then."
Madam Mu's following behind Tang Li was even more pressing than Mu Xiuwen's clinging to Wei Qing.
Tangli wrote down the recipes for those dishes and handed them to Mrs. Mu.
"Sister Lan, here you go."
"Sister-in-law, I have something I want to discuss with you."
"Sister Lan, go ahead."
"I have a restaurant in Yaoshui Town called 'Shuiyuexuan'. I'd like to sell the dishes on your menu at Shuiyuexuan and give you a 10% commission. How about that?" Mrs. Mu said.
Shuiyuexuan is the largest restaurant in Yaoshui Town. Tang Li had dined there last time and it was always busy and doing brisk business. Shopkeeper Zhang had said that the restaurants in Yaoshui Town were all owned by a few of the town's largest families, so it wasn't surprising that the Mu family, as the largest family, opened this largest restaurant.
Even though it’s only 10%, for such a big restaurant, this 10% is actually a lot of money!
If she were to open a restaurant herself, it would not only cost her time and money, but she might not even be able to make that much money.
Mrs. Mu’s proposal is equivalent to taking the money directly, with no risk at all.
"Sister Lan, there's nothing wrong with selling this dish in a restaurant, but isn't the 10% price too high?" Tang Li said.
Madam Mu was smiling.
She never owed anyone anything, so after taking Tangli's recipe, she wanted to give something back. Selling this recipe at Shuiyuexuan was a win-win situation for both parties.
She likes to deal with smart people. If it were an ordinary person, he might think that this 10% is too little. Tang Li knows how much this 10% is and says it is a lot, which shows that she is not greedy.
Mrs. Mu doesn't care about money, but she hates greed.
"Not much. Xiu Wen calls Wei Qing 'brother', and you are our brother-in-law. We are all family, so don't take it to heart."
Tang Li was still embarrassed. She thought for a moment and said, "Sister Lan, how about this? I'll make you a new dish every month?"
Madam Mu nodded: "Okay, it's settled!"
