I kept this in mind, but with the house construction imminent, time seemed to be running out.
We need to make money quickly so that after building the house, we can take care of my elder brother and sister-in-law's health.
Xiao Kai and Liu Jie both ate two bowls of rice, and they were both a little embarrassed.
"I'll bring a bag of rice tomorrow."
Xiao Kai took the initiative to say it, otherwise I would have felt really embarrassed.
The eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother all spoke at the same time.
"No!"
"You're too kind! When have we ever been treated unfairly at He Family Restaurant?"
"That's right! They even lent us a donkey cart before!"
......
Although the Ruan family said so, they also mentioned that they were preparing to build a house...
That's a huge sum of money!
Even though they recently made some money from He Family Restaurant and Xinglin Hall, it's still barely enough to buy land and build houses.
Xiao Kai secretly wondered if he should discuss the Ruan family's difficulties with Manager Yu when he got back.
Although we agreed to settle the accounts together in half a month, if the Ruan family can settle down sooner, there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future!
This was Xiao Kai's first time eating flying fish. The third brother told Xiao Kai about the characteristics of flying fish, which his sister had described. Xiao Kai, who was born and raised in the area, was amazed.
As for the steamed seafood with egg, Xiao Kai and Liu Jie absolutely love it!
It was an ugly thing that the islanders wouldn't eat, but in Ruan Meng's hands, it became a delicacy!
"I'll bring the eggs again tomorrow or the day after!"
Ruan Meng smiled; she had just fallen in love with steamed sea urchin with egg and was placing a reservation for the dish!
Ruan Meng had reserved a few sea urchins and a few flying fish, but only made one serving and had Xiao Kai take it back.
Xiao Kai asked proactively, "Is there only one copy?"
If we distribute it to Xinglintang, wouldn't the manager be missing out on one of the dishes?
Ruan Meng smiled, "I'll go into town later to sell medicinal herbs at Xinglintang. I'll bring the portion for them myself."
Xiao Kai recalled that Ruan Meng said she had something to do in the afternoon, probably to collect medicinal herbs on the mountain and then go to the city to sell them later.
Xiao Kai saw that Ruan Meng hadn't rested since she arrived in the morning. She went up the mountain in the afternoon and then into the city, so she probably wouldn't get back until midnight.
If it weren't for the need to return the soup, Xiao Kai would have waited two hours to give Ruan Meng a ride.
He always felt that the people in the restaurant, including Manager Yu and himself, were very hardworking, but he felt ashamed of himself compared to Ruan Meng.
Without further ado, Xiao Kai and Liu Jie left immediately.
Ruan Meng took her elder brother's pulse and found that it was much stronger than when he first arrived in the South Island.
Besides acupuncture and massage from Ruan Meng and her sister-in-law, dietary therapy should also be effective.
Ruan Meng and Lao San went up the mountain.
She likes to have a backup plan when doing things.
Although he was confident in his negotiating leverage, he heard that with the young master of the He family restaurant now in charge, the other party might not accept all of his suggestions.
But building the house is urgent, and we need to raise two or three hundred taels of silver in a short time...
If He Family Restaurant fails, Ruan Meng can still rely on medicinal herbs.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law went up the mountain to discuss with the village chief their need to expand their land use...
Later, they will also visit the Song and Fan families to discuss the proposal to build a house together.
The second child was left to guard the house and cook in advance.
"Let's go, Third Brother!"
"Today, let's dig up the big ones!"
Ruan Meng smiled and said.
With each subsequent ascent of the mountain, Ruan Meng now ventures deeper into the mountains.
Compared to the messy and barren area at the foot of the mountain, the deep mountains are covered with vegetation and are full of treasures.
Feng Xi once explained that because the main labor force in the village went to work on boats or in mines, the elderly, weak, women and children at home were afraid of the dangers on the mountain, so few people went up the mountain.
They would only go up the mountain to find some herbs when a family member was sick, just to get by, but the herbs they actually knew were very limited.
That's why the herbs on the mountain have been so well preserved.
They were practically sitting on a gold mine, yet the villagers were completely unaware.
Since her goal was to make money, Ruan Meng abandoned ordinary herbs and focused her main efforts on highly poisonous and profitable herbs.
In three hours, she caught two venomous snakes, eight scorpions, and more than a dozen centipedes...
When she turned around, she saw her third brother looking up, swinging a hoe at a large tree.
Seeing her younger sister turn around, she asked with a smile, "Little sister, this tree is so tall, is it the iron holly from last time?"
Seeing the white liquid splatter from the hoe, almost splashing...
Ruan Meng's blood almost froze!
