"Youxue, I don't want it. I don't need much silver. Your grandfather and your father give me a lot of silver every month, which I can't spend all." Huang Lijuan refused immediately.
"Yes, Youxue, Second Aunt doesn't want it either. Besides, Second Aunt doesn't know how to do business." Su Shanshan also refused.
"Mom, Second Aunt, this is just pocket money, not a lot. Fruits are not available all year round, and not all fruits can be made into preserved fruit, so this pocket money won't make much in a year?
Besides, a woman needs to have her own business and her own private money to feel confident so that dad and second uncle won’t dare to bully you.
"Or, you could use some of this money to honor your grandparents; or use it to support your mother's family, so your second aunt's family doesn't need to; or save it for your daughter's dowry." Yang Youxue told her mother and second aunt that a woman must learn to be self-reliant in order to gain the respect of her family.
"In that case, this business should be given to your grandmother. Your second aunt and I will help her manage the business." Huang Lijuan felt that her daughter was right. Women should be self-reliant. She felt that it would be more appropriate to give the business to her mother-in-law.
"Mother, grandma also has her own business. This is for you and Second Aunt. When Third Aunt comes in the future, she will also join in. We really can't make much money, so don't worry." Yang Youxue said to Huang Lijuan.
"Youxue, my dear granddaughter, what business are you going to give grandma?" Lu Guihua asked Yang Youxue curiously, wanting to know what business she was going to give her.
"Grandma, doesn't she like to cook? I'll teach her how to make cakes and some pastries. Then we can open a cake shop, and it will definitely be very popular." Yang Youxue thought about cakes and pastries. If she could have saltpeter for making ice, she would even want to make ice cream.
"Cake? What kind of food is that?" Lu Guihua became particularly excited when talking about cooking. Cooking was her favorite thing, but unfortunately her family was poor and there was no money for her to become an apprentice.
"We'll know tomorrow." Yang Youxue said mysteriously.
"Youxue, do you have any business for grandpa?" Old man Yang asked Yang Youxue in a flattering manner.
"Grandpa, you are the head of the family. Apart from our personal business, all family businesses belong to you men." Yang Youxue said to Old Man Yang.
When Old Man Yang heard that there was no private business, he suddenly lost his mood.
"Also, eldest sister, you can continue to run the puppet shop. It will be your business from now on. Second sister, I plan to open a clothing store. This is for you. Fourth sister's business will be a milk tea shop. As for Qingyi's business, I will think of a business suitable for her when she is five years old.
"If there are men in the family, their business is the family business, not their personal business. What do you think, Grandpa and Grandma?" Yang Youxue said.
"We have no objection, but, Youxue, what is milk tea?" Old Man Yang and Lu Guihua asked Yang Youxue curiously, and the other people in the Yang family looked at Yang Youxue.
"Grandpa and grandma, this can only be made after we get the milk?" Yang Youxue said to Old Man Yang and Lu Guihua.
"Milk? Is it milk squeezed from a cow? The village chief's cow gave birth, and I saw the village chief's wife squeezing out milk." Lu Guihua told Yang Youxue this.
"Grandma, tomorrow, go to the village chief's house and buy some milk. I will make milk tea for you." When Yang Youxue heard that there was milk, she danced with joy.
"Okay, it's decided. Let's do whatever we need to do tomorrow. Now let's go back to sleep." After the discussion was over, Old Man Yang let everyone go back to sleep.
Old Man Yang and Lu Guihua lived in the first courtyard, Yang Zhongyi and Huang Lijuan lived in the second courtyard, Yang Qingman and her five sisters lived in the third courtyard, Yang Zhongcheng, Su Shanshan, and Yang Qingyi lived in the fourth courtyard, and Yang Zhongxin lived alone in the fifth courtyard.
The five courtyards of Yang Youxue's house are different from the five courtyards in ancient times. Each courtyard has a separate door and is not connected to each other. It is a bit like the residential housing in the previous life.
There are four suites in the first entrance, each suite has four rooms, a living room, and a toilet with flushing function. There is also a dining room, a living room, and a study.
The second, third, fourth and fifth courtyards have five suites, and each suite also has four rooms, a bathroom and a hall.
There are three-meter-wide roads on all four sides of the five-story courtyard to facilitate the entry and exit of carriages. There is a barn behind the fifth courtyard, which is specially used to store carriages.
When I bought the land to build the house, I bought ten acres of wasteland and built a three-meter-high wall on all four sides. Only people with martial arts skills could get in, and ordinary hooligans and bandits could not get in.
Everyone went back to sleep, and Yang Youxue also fell asleep on the bed.
The Yang family got up at dawn.
Yang Youxue went into the kitchen and started to teach Yang Zhongyi how to make spicy hot pot. First, she made the spicy hot pot base, then boiled some water, put some vegetables and meat into the water, and after boiling, picked them out, put them in a large basin, poured the spicy hot pot base on them, and served them out for everyone to taste.
Then make the hot and sour noodles. Add the prepared noodles to boiling water, scoop them into a large bowl, then pour in the soup. The hot and sour noodles are ready.
"Dad, have you learned it? If not, I'll teach the chefs when we get to the county town later." Yang Youxue asked Yang Zhongyi next to her.
"Youxue, Dad is too stupid to learn, so why don't you teach how to cook?" Yang Zhongyi touched his head embarrassedly, smiled and said to Yang Youxue.
"Okay! Wait a minute, we'll go to the county town to teach.
Let’s go out and eat spicy hot pot first and see how it tastes.” Yang Youxue said to her father.
Yang Zhongyi brought out the hot and sour noodles. Old Man Yang and his friends had almost finished the spicy hot pot, so Huang Lijuan served some to the two of them.
