Qianqian said coquettishly.
"Alright, you guys have fun, I'm going out for a stroll."
Wei Yuyan wanted to go out and see if there were any veils for sale, as the ultraviolet rays were too strong in this weather.
Buy a hat to protect yourself from the sun.
"Delicious steamed buns~ Mushroom and meat sauce steamed buns~ Two for three coins~".
Not far from where Wei Yuyan walked, she heard someone selling steamed buns, the same kind as her own, mushroom and meat sauce buns.
"I wonder if they taste better than my own steamed buns..."
Wei Yuyan thought for a moment and went over to see how business was going.
Upon closer inspection, I discovered that business wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either; people were coming in to buy things one after another.
"Give me two."
Wei Yuyan handed over three coins; this steamed bun shop wasn't far from her own shop.
If the food tastes good, their business might be threatened.
"Okay."
The owner warmly wrapped the buns and handed them over. Wei Yuyan looked at the buns and saw that the surface was still quite soft.
However, the steamed buns didn't look as nice as our own, and when I took a bite, the mushroom pieces inside were clearly visible.
It didn't taste as good as the ones I make at home because the mushrooms weren't cooked until they were dry and didn't smell very good.
Wei Yuyan was relieved; nothing tasted as good as her own.
Wei Yuyan ate one but couldn't eat anymore, so she casually gave the other one to a beggar on the roadside.
"Thank you, Madam. Thank you, Madam."
The beggar never dreamed he would get to eat white bread today.
Wei Yuyan browsed around and bought a pink veiled hat, which was quite pretty. She wore it back to the shop.
"Sister-in-law, you're back. This hat is so pretty."
After resting, Sister-in-law Xiuhua cleaned up the dishes and utensils in the lobby.
"Hey, Sister-in-law Xiuhua, I'm about to head back too. You guys probably haven't gone back yet, have you?"
Wei Yuyan noticed that there were still some steamed buns left to sell.
"Okay, I'll go with you. The three of them can take their time."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law also wanted to go home early, and since her younger brother's wife had come, she would have company on the way.
"Okay, Xiaolei and Qianqian, let's go."
Wei Yuyan put on the veil.
The four of them walked along the path back to the village. The path was shaded by trees and was cooler than the main road.
"Sister-in-law, I see your rice is ripe. When are you planning to harvest it?"
Let's pick a day when there's no market day and have Lifu and Licai cut the meat for you, while my sister-in-law and I sell steamed buns."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua had already thought all this through.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, thank you for thinking so much, but you all work hard enough selling steamed buns, so I'll ask someone else for help."
Wei Yuyan never intended to ask them to help her with both harvesting and planting; harvesting only rice would be simple.
The key is to cut the branches one day and plant the new ones the next.
"Oh, right, I forgot to ask you, where are the seedlings being grown this time?"
When Sister-in-law Xiuhua remembered this, she realized that all the paddy fields in the village were planted with crops, so where could her younger brother and sister-in-law raise the rice seedlings?
"It's right behind my vegetable garden. Xiao Lei and I dug up a small plot of land to plant wheat."
This came in handy just in time; it's actually quite good-looking.
Wei Yuyan responded.
“Oh, I see. That’s good. Sister-in-law, let Lifu and Licai do the rice harvesting and planting. Hiring people is a waste of money.”
Besides, we also have an acre of land that needs harvesting and rice planting.”
Xiuhua's sister-in-law was still unwilling to give up and didn't want her younger brother and sister-in-law to spend more money.
“Sister-in-law Xiuhua, now you have two choices. First, I will hire Brother Lifu and Brother Licai to do the work and pay them wages. Second, I will hire someone else to do the work.”
Wei Yuyan thought that she would be even happier if Li Fu and Li Cai worked for her, but she couldn't work for free.
"Of course, let the two brothers do it. They'll make sure the rice is cut cleanly and the transplanting is done well."
Xiuhua believes that there are not many young men in the village who can work better than her husband and older brother.
Besides, it's inconvenient for a woman like my sister-in-law to hire a man to do the work.
"Okay, fine. Since you've said that, if I still don't agree, you'll just ignore me."
Wei Yuyan smiled helplessly. Of course she knew they were doing a good job, but she just felt that it was too hard on them.
"Hmm, that's more like it. Good that you know. Also, which day of the month do you want to harvest? How about the first day?"
Sister-in-law Xiuhua thought that since there were only three days between the beginning of the month and the market day, the work wouldn't be too tiring.
"No, the seedlings aren't ready yet. Let's harvest them on the tenth."
Wei Yuyan's rice seedlings are less than ten days old, how can they be planted? Let's wait.
"Okay, we started our seedlings early, so we'll harvest them on the first day of the lunar new year, not with you."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua was thinking.
"There's one more thing."
Wei Yuyan remembered something again when she reached the fork in the road.
"What is it? Speak."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua was in a hurry to get home and feed the chicks.
"The next market day will be the last market day of this month, which is the day we get paid."
Come to my house together this afternoon, and we'll have dinner there tonight.
"Let Li Cai's children come too. Please tell them for me that I don't usually see them."
Wei Yuyan now stays at home leisurely, reading books and cooking. She rarely goes out and only sees Sister-in-law Xiuhua often.
The chili peppers needed for stir-fried pork buns were picked by Sister-in-law Xiuhua from her own garden when she wasn't going to the market.
Those who need more will come to Wei Yuyan's place to pick, otherwise her family won't have enough chili peppers, as they don't grow enough.
Sister-in-law Xiuhua would bring money after each market day; she basically entrusted everything to Sister-in-law Xiuhua.
"Sister-in-law, I know I've been paid. We came over that afternoon, so let's skip lunch. You're going to cook a whole table of dishes, and I don't want you to spend money."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law felt embarrassed that she was always eating at her younger brother and sister-in-law's house, even though she was already receiving so much money.
"You have no choice. I'm the boss. You'd better come early to help wash and chop the vegetables."
Wei Yuyan knew that Xiuhua's sister-in-law was like that, so she had to be tough.
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely go there first thing in the morning."
After finishing her sentence, Sister-in-law Xiuhua hurried home, as her dog and chickens were already hungry.
Wei Yuyan returned home and began preparing the pork belly for today.
Wei Yuyan wanted to try something different; today she suddenly craved fried meatballs.
"Sister-in-law, it's so hot!"
Qianqian was preparing chicken feed, and she was sweating profusely as she chopped the food.
"Where's my brother?"
Wei Yuyan wanted to call Xiao Lei to tear the vegetable leaves, but she didn't see him.
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to pick vegetables, what's up?"
Xiao Lei returned carrying a vegetable basket containing chili peppers, cucumbers, and tomatoes.
"Qianqian said it's so hot, why don't you go and do something for a while?"
Qianqian is the one in the family who is most afraid of the heat, while Xiaolei is the one who is most resistant to the heat. I guess men aren't as afraid of the heat as women, because their skin is rough.
"good".
Xiao Lei took a bowl of vegetable leaves from Qianqian and told her that all she had to do was tear them into pieces.
Wei Yuyan chopped the pork belly, added a little flour and chopped green onions, heated oil in a wok, and then dropped the small meatballs into the wok one by one.
"It smells so good."
