"Mom, I'm back."

Meng Huifang called her grandson Lin Xiaobao over, and looked him up and down for a long time, making sure that he was not bumped or bruised, and then she started to criticize Yang Lizhen -

"You've been out buying groceries for so long. Look at what you're wearing, with an open collar and lots of makeup. Who are you trying to seduce?"

Yang Lizhen put down the dishes in her hand and explained, "Mom, you misunderstood. I dressed up nicely when I went out because I didn't want to embarrass you and Zhichong. Outsiders laugh at me for being a country girl, but I have to dress up and look energetic to let people know that I am living a good life after marrying here, don't you agree?"

This sophistry made Meng Huifang calm down a little. "Okay, hurry up and cook. Don't you see what time it is? Be quick when you go out next time. Why are you dragging your feet when buying vegetables?"

"Hey, I'll go right away!"

Yang Lizhen immediately went into the kitchen, put on an apron and started working.

After the meal was ready, Meng Huifang took her grandson Lin Xiaobao to eat first, while she went to serve her husband Lin Zhichong.

“The rice is steamed too soft.”

"The potatoes were a little bland."

While enjoying her feeding him, Lin Zhichong was picky. Yang Lizhen smiled and promised to pay attention next time.

By the time Lin Zhichong was full, the grandmother and grandson outside had also finished eating.

A pot of braised pork with potatoes and a pot of sauerkraut vermicelli soup, only the leftovers were left.

Seeing Yang Lizhen quietly clearing the dishes, Meng Huifang peeled pears for Sun while squinting her eyes and scolding her: "Who told you to be slow and dawdling? You can't blame others for not having food to eat."

"That's right, Mom."

Yang Lizhen agreed and went to the kitchen.

Meng Huifang looked at her back and felt relieved.

Before Yang Lizhen came into the family, she had inquired about her and knew about Yang Lizhen's bad habits of being lazy and gluttonous at her ex-husband's house, so she made up her mind to keep her under control.

Humph, that's all.

I was happy for less than two minutes before I smelled the aroma of cooking oil wafting from the kitchen.

Meng Huifang hurriedly stuffed the pear into her grandson's hand and quickly went to the kitchen.

"What are you doing?"

Yang Lizhen cracked the eggs and put them into the hot oil pan, then turned around and smiled and responded to Meng Huifang: "I'm frying eggs."

After saying that, he cracked another egg into the pot.

Meng Huifang was furious.

"There's still rice in the pot. I'll fry two eggs to make do with it. I'll cook more dishes in the evening so we don't have too much to eat."

Yang Lizhen said this as she flipped the eggs.

Meng Huifang glared at her for a while, then turned and went to Lin Zhichong's room, and closed the door after entering.

Yang Lizhen glanced at the closed bedroom door and sneered in her heart. If you want to control her, you can't do that! ...

"…The man surnamed Lin was in a car accident last year and became paralyzed. He will have to lie in bed for the rest of his life. His ex-wife divorced him and left him. Yang Lizhen was supposed to be his nanny, but she ended up marrying him after only a few months."

After Shen Hongmei finished speaking, she added, "She doesn't care about food or drink, and she's willing to marry a paralyzed man."

Shen Mingzhu didn't want to comment on Yang Lizhen's choice. It was a two-way fight, so there was nothing much to say.

After chatting about gossip, Shen Hongmei also talked about business. "I talked to Huang Ju and asked her to start working as an assistant with Qiuxia as an intern tomorrow. She was so happy that she kept asking me if I was teasing her."

How can I not be happy?

Shen Mingzhu's two assistants, one became a human resources manager and the other became a cashier, both important positions with real power.

Being able to be Shen Mingzhu's assistant means that you will be valued in the future.

When it was almost time to get off work, Shen Mingzhu received a call from Feng Huiying.

When Shen Mingzhu arrived at the train station, Feng Huiying and Han Zibin were standing next to a pile of flat square bamboo noodles.

"Mr. Shen."

Both of them were very happy to see Shen Mingzhu.

"Sister Feng, Xiao Han, thank you for your hard work!"

Shen Mingzhu was equally happy, and immediately walked to a bamboo shoot, opened the lid and took a look -

The bamboo shoots are densely packed with hairy crabs with green shells and white bellies, each of which weighs half a pound.

"We did as you said. We first put a layer of straw in the beetroot, then put mud, and then put some sesame seeds and beaten eggs. We put ice under the beetroot and watered it every five hours."

Feng Huiying said happily beside her: "Xiao Han and I have checked, there are almost no dead crabs."

Shen Mingzhu picked up a hairy crab. From the claws showing off their teeth, one could tell that it was very fresh.

Shen Mingzhu immediately asked someone to load the bamboo shoots onto a truck and transported them to Shen’s two stores.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

She had hired someone to do the construction work in order to build a water pond.

When unloading, Shen Mingzhu counted the crabs and found that thirty-seven out of a thousand hairy crabs were dead.

This loss rate is completely acceptable.

All of these hairy crabs were carefully selected from Yangcheng Lake, and each one weighs more than half a pound.

The time when Feng Huiying and Han Zibin disappeared was when they were doing this.

Although Fengcheng also has hairy crabs, the taste is far inferior to that of Yangcheng Lake.

The water in Yangcheng Lake is clear and rich in various natural minerals. The hairy crabs raised here are very sweet and have delicate meat, making them the best hairy crabs.

That night, Shen Mingzhu picked out ten hairy crabs and added the pickled crabs she had made earlier, and set a table to welcome Feng Huiying and Han Xiaobin.

I have to say that the hairy crabs from Yangcheng Lake are really delicious. Even Shen Mingzhu, who has tried all the delicacies in the world, was still not satisfied with them.

But she couldn't bear to eat them, because these hairy crabs were her magic weapon to attract customers during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The next day, the team led by Julie for training returned to Fengcheng smoothly.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Ji reopened.

The Mid-Autumn Crab Feast grandly launched by Shen Mingzhu has been widely praised and recommended by customers, and the private rooms are fully booked every day.

In addition to the hot customer flow brought by the new dishes, Shen Mingzhu also noticed that the mental outlook of the employees who returned from the training in the capital was very different from before.

He walks with his head held high, works actively and enthusiastically, and while peeling crabs for customers, he can also chat with them about what he saw and heard in the capital.

This positive energy has also invisibly infected other employees, and the overall working atmosphere has improved significantly compared to the past.

Only when you are in danger can you survive.

The setbacks did not bring Shen Ji down, but made it stand more firmly and taller.

…

"It's late at night, and you're running out again before you even have time to sit down. Is there a demon outside who has seduced you?"

Seeing Shen Xiangnan about to go out after taking a shower, Jia Yuemei scolded him angrily.

"You go to sleep. I have an appointment to play cards with someone."

After saying that, Shen Xiangnan walked out.

Jia Yuemei stared at his back, feeling uneasy. He was just playing cards, taking a shower and changing clothes.

And this situation has been going on for some time.

After glancing at Erya sleeping on the bed, Jia Yuemei took the key, locked the door, and chased after Shen Xiangnan. (End of this chapter)
