Chen An Nian returned home and carefully tasted the hot sauces that Qin Yunxiang brought over. Finally, he picked one. Together with the one he brought over yesterday, he had two hot sauces in total.
She bought a pheasant from the mooncake factory, and took out two pounds of meat from the space, cut it into meat sauce, mixed it with chili sauce, stir-fried it together, simmered it with spiritual spring water, and added chopped peanuts.
The fragrant and spicy smell wafted over, making everyone drool.
She also made mooncakes and added Lingquan, making more than forty in total.
Part of these things were sent to Shen's father and mother on the farm. It is estimated that they will last for two months and can also help them recuperate.
Another part is to be sent to Qin Zhengqi. He is working hard in the army, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. I want to send him something so that he can also taste the flavor of his hometown.
Mother Qin came over to look at her and asked, "What are you still busy doing at this hour?"
"Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and Qin Zhengqi will be spending the holiday alone. I want to send him some chili sauce and mooncakes, and also send some to my parents."
When Qin's mother heard her words, she really didn't know how to praise her.
This kid is really thoughtful.
"If the third brother knew that you cared about him so much, he would be very happy."
Chen Annian blushed and smiled, "Mom, I have improved this hot sauce. Please try it and give me some suggestions."
Qin's mother knew that Qin Yunxiang was looking for hot sauce, and now seeing her still busy with this late at night, she was very confused.
She brought back so many things just to make hot sauce for the third brother?
She always felt like she was going to do something.
Mother Qin took the chopsticks handed over by Shen An Nian and tasted the hot sauce. It was fresh and fragrant, much better than the original hot sauce.
"When you add meat, the hot sauce has more flavor, but it's a little salty."
"This is eaten with rice, so it needs to be a little salty."
Mother Qin asked her, "Just so the third child could have something good, you asked your second sister to find all this chili sauce and even tried it all yourself?"
"The things are indeed to be sent to him, but I have other ideas."
Mother Qin was very curious, "What's your idea?"
"I want to try and see if this hot sauce can be sold."
Mother Qin was startled. "You want to sell this hot sauce?"
She felt that this matter was a bit unreliable.
Nowadays, every family has some pickles, so how can you sell chili sauce?
Shen Annian naturally saw her doubts, but she hadn't experimented yet and didn't know what the effect would be, so she didn't dare to promise Qin's mother.
“I’ll try it first, and then let Manager Yang taste it when I send the mooncakes to Heng City.
If Manager Yang thinks it's a good idea, that would be great. If we can't reach an agreement, we won't lose anything."
Qin's mother thought she really dared to do it.
But this is also a good thing. If she really succeeds, it will also be an income.
“Even if someone buys this hot sauce, they may not teach you how to make it.”
"I don't plan to learn it myself. Since this hot sauce is from Huangzhuang, even if I open a factory, it should belong to Huangzhuang."
Mother Qin was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time. "Then why have you been tinkering with it for so long?"
"I'd be happy if the folks in Huangzhuang could make money just like the folks in Dahe Village."
Mother Qin was shocked after hearing this. She couldn't imagine this was the reason, and she couldn't figure it out.
When she returned to the house and saw Qin's father, she told him about this.
She had never seen such a person who didn't make money himself but pushed it away.
After hearing this, Father Qin was silent for a while before saying, "The third daughter-in-law is a person who can do great things."
She didn't know whether it was a big deal or not, but the thought of letting others make money made Qin's mother feel uncomfortable.
"What does the third daughter-in-law think? She's been busy with her feelings for half a day, but all for others?"
"Isn't this a good thing? We farmers have to dig for food from the land, and our lives are so hard.
If we set up a mooncake factory, the lives of our fellow villagers will be better. If Huangzhuang can open a factory, the people there will definitely live a good life. What a great thing."
"It's a good thing, but think about it, she gave away such a factory for nothing, and I don't know how many people would be jealous.
This time she helped Huang Zhuang, and also the nearby villages. If she can't help them, won't she be hated?"
"Don't think too much about it. This is a good thing. Let her do it."
"I didn't mean to stop you, I just wanted to tell you something.
Tell me, what's wrong with the third daughter-in-law? Why haven't we thought about selling the hot sauce?"
"What is a smart person? A smart person is one who can accomplish things that others can't imagine.
The eldest brother came to me yesterday and told me that when he went to Heng City this time, he met an acquaintance of the third brother’s wife and had a quarrel with him.
I heard that the father of the third son's wife, our relative, is a capitalist-roader.
The third daughter-in-law has a lot of business skills, which she probably learned from her in-laws.
Mother Qin thought about the Shen couple being taken to the farm below and said worriedly, "The third daughter-in-law is planning to open a factory. Will she be okay?"
"What could possibly happen? The factory was approved by the commune. Even if someone wants to cause trouble, they can't use this as an excuse."
Mother Qin was relieved, "I'm glad you're okay."
"Go to bed early, you have to get up early to work tomorrow."
Mother Qin was worried about Shen Annian and the report made by the educated youth, so she didn't sleep well.
Although Qin's father said he was not afraid even if they reported it to the commune, Qin's mother was afraid.
These educated youth were educated people, and they could even say that the dead were alive.
But they are just farmers digging for food in the mud. They don’t have as much knowledge as the educated youth, and they are not as eloquent as the educated youth. How can you win the argument with reason?
Looking at Qin's father sleeping soundly beside her, she felt even more worried.
This old man is so careless. Even when his life is in danger, he can still sleep so soundly.
She felt a little tired when she woke up in the morning. Looking at Qin's father who was still sleeping, she felt so angry that she had no place to vent.
She was worried and upset, and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for her family.
When she came out with the porridge and saw Shen Annian, she complained to her, "Your father is too careless. The educated youth said they would report him, but he acted like nothing happened and hasn't woken up yet."
"Mom, Dad isn't worried, doesn't that just prove he's confident about this matter? Don't worry, it's okay."
Mother Qin was infected by her calmness and felt much more at ease. "It would be great if it could be like you said."
Little Stone ran over and asked to eat mooncakes.
When Shen Annian was making mooncakes yesterday, she promised the children that each of them could have a mooncake this morning.
Little Shitou has been thinking about this matter all the time, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to ask her for something to eat.
Shen An Nian waited until all the children were present before giving each of them half a mooncake.
After breakfast, everyone went to work or school, leaving only my fourth brother's wife and Qin Xiaomei with three children who were still young and could not go to school yet.
Shen Annian and the others went to work at the food factory and waited for the arrival of the commune leaders.
In the afternoon, people from the commune really showed up.
