The two wrote a few words and looked at them. It was clear that Fan Chao, who had been exposed to writing since childhood, wrote more neatly.
As for why she didn't write it herself, Pei Yuezhi had little experience with calligraphy, so it wasn't really suitable for her.
Pei Yuezhi told Fan Chao about the menu layout and the names and prices of the dishes.
When they encountered some characters they didn't know how to write, Pei Yuezhi wrote them down and showed them to them.
“Mother, Chao’er knows why you stopped writing yourself,” Fan Chao said, looking at the words Pei Yuezhi had written on another piece of paper.
Pei Yuezhi immediately understood what he meant: "You mean my handwriting is bad, right!"
"Chao'er wouldn't dare."
......
The menu was finished in no time. Then Pei Yuezhi remembered something and asked Fan Chao to write down the current prices of the boxed meals. She then left with the few pages of paper, quite satisfied.
"Ding, mission complete. Rewards: 1 free shopping voucher and 1 50% off shopping voucher."
Kaka is mine!
We're not starting to cook any dishes yet, so there's no need to post them for now; it's all about completing the task.
It wasn't too late, so Pei Yuezhi bought a wooden plaque from the mall, intending to carve it herself. The wooden plaque was inexpensive, and it wasn't expensive to buy. Luckily, she was quite skilled with her hands, so she would carve a couple whenever she had free time.
Take the signs to the child's room and let him write the names of the dishes on them, so that it will be easier for her to carve them.
The next day, after the two children went to school, I went to the shop and posted the price list for the boxed lunches that I had written the day before.
The dishes I made today were all ones I had made before. After Grandma Liu and Liu Yuanyuan arrived, we started working.
......
The rain stopped today, and the guests started to return to their previous routine. After what happened yesterday, Pei Yuezhi and Liu Yuanyuan were worried that someone might come again.
Fortunately, everything is normal.
However, there were unexpected guests today: the original owner's cousin's wife brought her nephew.
"Sister-in-law is here! This must be Rui'er. She's grown so tall. Why didn't she go to school today?" Pei Yuezhi asked.
The original owner's cousin, Fan Rui, is twelve years old this year and attends the same school as Fan Chao.
My cousin's wife replied, "This child is playful and caught a cold, so he didn't go to school today. He's feeling unwell and wants to eat meat, so I brought him here to eat. This is your Uncle Xiuyuan's aunt; greet her."
Hello, Auntie.
"Okay, Ruier, come and choose your dishes. The dishes are all pretty good today."
There was no room in the front hall, so Pei Yuezhi told her sister-in-law and her daughter to eat in the courtyard.
By midday, people were arriving in droves, and Pei Yuezhi, Liu Yuanyuan, and Granny Liu all got busy.
My cousin's wife was especially kind and came over to help tidy up the table.
It made things much faster.
"Thank you so much, sister-in-law," Pei Yuezhi said gratefully.
My cousin's wife is a very generous and down-to-earth person: "Oh, this is nothing. You're quite busy. You've sold out of boxed lunches, but you can still sell a few servings of fried rice."
As she spoke, she took out some money from her pocket and placed it on the counter: "I ate two vegetarian dishes, and Fan Rui ate two meat dishes. It cost twenty coins in total, and I'll leave it here."
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? You even helped me clear the table. We're really close relatives."
"It's precisely because we're true relatives that I can't take advantage of you. If you don't accept it, I won't come to eat here again."
Pei Yuezhi stopped refusing and accepted the money.
My cousin's wife was finally satisfied and said, "You're about to eat, right? I'll go back with the kids first."
Just as they were about to say goodbye, Fan Rui grabbed his mother's hand: "Mother, Mu'er and I haven't finished chatting yet."
"What are you talking about? I haven't eaten yet. Do you think I can chat with you on an empty stomach? I'll bring you here this afternoon, okay?"
After my cousin's wife and son left, the group began to eat.
Something else happened during that time.
When Grandma Liu got up to get more rice, she was too scared to move and it took her a while to recover.
I guess he's worn out his back from washing dishes and doing odd jobs every day.
Grandma Liu rested for a while and slowly sat down: "Oh dear, I'm really getting old. I haven't been working for more than a few days and my back is already hurting."
Liu Yuanyuan said worriedly, "Mom, why don't you stop working? What if you ruin your health?"
Pei Yuezhi felt the same way. Granny Liu was quick and efficient at her work, but she was also more likely to tire herself out, especially since she was getting old.
Perhaps she was truly exhausted and powerless. I had thought I would try to persuade her for a while, but after pondering for a moment, Grandma Liu said, "Okay, I'll stop for now."
"Actually, my back has been hurting for the past few days, but I didn't think it was a big deal. I'm getting old, and I'm not as useful as I used to be."
Liu Yuanyuan was good at comforting people, and with Fan Mu's sweet talk, Grandma Liu felt much better.
Pei Yuezhi told her not to leave today, but to stay here for the night and that she would cook something delicious for dinner, but Granny Liu disagreed.
After seeing her off onto the oxcart, the group went back to rest.
“Yuanyuan, Grandma Liu’s health isn’t so good right now. We can’t let her stay in the village by herself. I think we should try our best to move to a new house and bring her here as soon as possible, okay?” Pei Yuezhi said while carving the dish name tags in her hand.
Liu Yuanyuan nodded repeatedly: "Great, great! She was already so pitiful. Her husband and son are gone, and all she has left is her daughter-in-law and grandson. And they're not even by her side. It would be wonderful if we could take her in."
"I'll help you carve it, and we can speed things up."
"Okay, be careful. I'll find you a small knife."
......
In the afternoon, I would go to the shop as usual to see if there were any customers and prepare the materials.
I had just taken the ingredients out when my cousin-in-law actually came over.
"Sister-in-law, I'm bothering you again. This child asked me if I was coming to see Mu'er. I thought I'd come over since I already agreed. He can play with Mu'er, and I can help you with something."
Pei Yuezhi felt a little embarrassed. The other person had helped with the work at noon, and she hadn't even treated them to a meal. How could she ask them to help her with the work again?
"There's nothing much to do, sister-in-law. Mu'er hasn't arrived yet. She'll be here soon. Why don't you play with her two kids?"
"It's just kids playing, why should adults get involved? You don't have any chores, so I'll chop some firewood for you. I can't stay idle."
"Really, no need. Why don't you help me wash the vegetables?" I didn't want her help, but I couldn't very well ask her to chop wood; it would be too tiring.
The two of them washed vegetables together, chatting as they worked, and even talked about how to do business with Liu Yuanyuan.
Not long after, Liu Yuanyuan arrived with Fan Mu, and the two boys also finished school.
After exchanging greetings, Pei Yuezhi told the two of them to go find Fan Rui and Fan Mu.
The three adults were working together and chatting when they started talking about the troublemakers who had come yesterday.
Hearing this, my cousin-in-law frowned: "What kind of people are these? Using such despicable methods to smear someone is just too low."
My cousin's wife was so angry that she started swearing and cursing several times.
Pei Yuezhi, the victim, even had to offer some words of comfort to her cousin-in-law.
