The purchasing team caused a sensation as soon as they returned to the village.
As soon as Mo Yuan left, Yu Xiu'e couldn't help but brag about it.
After all, this is such a big event; for the first wedding in Xiaomozhuang Village, people need to buy "three turns and one sound" (a set of three round watches, one watch, and one radio).
For many people in Xiaomozhuang, there are many things they can't fully explain about the "three turns and one sound" (referring to the three essential items of a watch, ... and a watch).
Not to mention the dowry of 288 yuan.
Nowadays, Yu Xiue can practically walk around the village with her head held high. Whenever she goes far away, a group of old women surround her, chattering and asking endless questions.
Yu Xiue became quite flattered by the compliments and praise she received.
Of course, he said everything!
So everyone in Xiaomo Village knew that Mo Yuan had taken Lin Xue to the county town to buy a sewing machine for their wedding.
So everyone crowded around Yu Xiu'e and led her to the small square at the east end of the village, where there was a large locust tree and a large millstone under it.
It was both the activity center of Xiaomo Village and an intelligence hub.
Because it's located on the only road leading into the village, groups of people often gather here to chat and joke.
As soon as Mo Yuan entered the village, he immediately heard a group of children noisily surrounding him and making a fuss.
"Here we go!"
Mo Yuan and Lin Xue immediately became the focus of the entire audience.
"Oh, this sewing machine, it's brand new! It looks great. Lin Zhiqing, if your aunt ever needs to use it, could I borrow it from your house?"
Before Lin Xue could answer, she realized how incredibly embarrassing that was.
However, someone immediately came to her rescue.
"Fifth Aunt, look at you, so capable! Do you even know how to use a sewing machine? You've got a sewing machine, and you can't even sew a shoe sole properly!"
"I can't learn it if I don't know how, so I can learn it. It's perfect that Lin Zhiqing can teach me, right, Lin Zhiqing!"
"Uh, I... I'm not really good at it either..."
Lin Xue was only fourteen or fifteen when she was sent to the countryside, and she had never even touched a sewing machine before.
However, Yu Xiu'e had already learned to protect her own, and seeing Lin Xue's somewhat embarrassed...
Immediately, she impatiently tried to disperse the crowd, "Alright, alright, you've seen the excitement, let's go. Lin Xue is smart, she'll learn this in no time. We'll have her teach you later. Anyone who wants to learn can come! But we have to wait until their wedding is over, I'm busy these next few days!"
Immediately, everyone started to cheer again.
"Oh, yes, yes, the wedding is just around the corner! Tell me, isn't that wonderful!"
"Mo Yuan is a lucky guy. Even Lin Zhiqing is staying with him instead of going back to the city!"
"That's because Lin, the educated youth, has good taste. Tell me, with this kind of setup, even the county magistrate's daughter is worthy of it! I've really opened my eyes today!"
A group of children joined in the commotion, shouting, "Give out wedding candy! Give out wedding candy!"
Mo Yuan had no choice but to distribute a batch of wedding candies in advance. Only when no one received a single candy did he leave satisfied!
And so, adults and children alike left satisfied, offering their blessings.
Mo Yuan led the shy Lin Xue home!
They put the sewing machine, radio, and other items inside first, and everyone gathered around to watch.
The eldest sister-in-law was engrossed in the sewing machine, while the eldest brother and the dog were studying the radio.
Mo Youshanhe and Yu Xiu'e looked at the two pots on the car with some confusion!
What's the purpose of such a big frying pan?
That's strange. It looks like it was custom-made. Mo Yuan must be up to something.
Mo Yuan didn't intend to keep them in suspense. Although he was busy preparing for his wedding with Lin Xue these past few days, he planned to return to his normal life afterward.
He still needed to make money, so he sold his fish soup business to Mo Yougan.
This has caused some concern within the family regarding the future prospects of starting a business.
This is a good opportunity to reassure my family and let them know that I have plenty of skills, so there's no need to worry.
I'll also make some first so my family can taste it and give me their feedback.
What Mo Yuan planned to make in this large flat-bottomed pan was the famous pan-fried buns that would later become popular in southwestern Shandong!
This has been proven by later generations to have a flavor that suits local tastes.
In the future, many breakfast shops selling pan-fried buns will spring up like mushrooms after rain.
It has become an important part of everyone's breakfast.
Mo Yuan wanted to capitalize on this early opportunity to reap the initial benefits, without needing a monopoly.
By simply taking advantage of the time difference, one can earn some money in advance to accumulate some wealth and lay a foundation for the future.
But when everyone knew that Mo Yuan was going to make a new dish, they immediately got involved!
Mo Yuan didn't stand on ceremony with his family and immediately started giving orders: his sister-in-law was to chop the meat, and Gouzi was to go to the field to pull up scallions and cut chives.
He then soaked the sweet potato noodles he had just bought that day, preparing to use them later.
The second sister was kneading the dough. Lin Xue wanted to help, but his cooking skills were limited, so he could only assist her.
Mo Yuan is making two kinds of fillings today: one with pork and scallions and some vermicelli, and the other with chives and eggs.
Seeing Mo Yuan crack so many eggs at once, Yu Xiu'e felt a pang of heartache.
She wanted to blurt out that he was a spendthrift, but she held back. These days, her youngest son had been very successful, and since Lin Xue was here, she had to give him some face.
Soon, Mo Yuan put the newly bought frying pan on the stove and first greased it with oil.
Then I started making pan-fried buns!
Soon, as the aroma spread, the first batch of pan-fried buns with chives and eggs was freshly made.
Looking at the pan-fried buns, soft on one side and golden brown on the other, they looked incredibly tempting.
Everyone gathered around curiously, some with bowls and some with plates, and the first pot was quickly devoured!
Mo Yuan then cooked a second pot, this time with pork and scallions.
After it was cooked, it received unanimous praise!
Mo Yuan watched as everyone ate with such gusto.
Unable to resist asking, "Don't just eat it, tell us what you think! How does it taste? Give us your feedback. Will there be any problems selling this later?"
"Delicious! Delicious!"
"No problem, no problem at all! This stuff is so delicious, selling it will definitely be a good business!"
The most excited were the second sister and the dog.
I originally thought I wouldn't be able to do business anymore.
Now it seems that these pan-fried buns alone are enough to crush Mo Yougan's business!
This stuff is great! It's delicious and filling!
They were both so excited that they couldn't wait to set up a stall at the oil mill gate the next day and challenge Mo Yougan to a duel!
They could already imagine Mo Yougan's utterly defeated expression!
Everyone started to look forward to it.
However, they also knew that this matter had to wait until Mo Yuan and Lin Xue got married before they could discuss it further.
After eating and drinking his fill, Mo Youshan picked up his pipe and started smoking.
"Mo Yuan, Lin Xue, come here and let's discuss your marriage."
