I came back early today, talked to Shen Nian about today's business, and then went to wash the clothes.
For dinner, Xiatian steamed rice and made four dishes and a soup: braised pork ribs, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, stir-fried green beans, and eggplant with garlic. The soup was tomato and egg soup.
I've been so busy these past two days that it feels like I haven't had the leisure to cook and eat like this in a long time.
When she arrived the next day, Xia Yang and his friends had already prepared everything for the stall, and the 150 kilograms of braised pork belly that Yunlai Restaurant had ordered in the morning were also braised.
She tasted the braised pig intestines and pig head, and hmm, the taste was right.
Three people went out to set up a stall.
Xia Tian stared at the stall for a while, and seeing that Xia Yang and his wife were organized and handled things with ease, he said goodbye and went back to the yard.
Meat was being braised in the kitchen while Xia Yue was watching the fire. Her mother and two children were turning the soil at the corner of the backyard, preparing to plant some vegetables.
Xia Tian went to the kitchen to talk to Xia Yue.
"Sister, have you set a date for your wedding?"
"It's settled, August 16th." Xia Yue said embarrassedly.
"Does anyone know about the division of the family?"
Xia Yue shook her head. "I don't know. I've been busy these past few days. How can I think about this?"
"Well, it's still early, no rush. But I'd better find time to tell them in the next few days. Also, you've moved, so you should tell them too."
"Well, I'll tell Mom about it then."
As they were talking, they estimated that the time was about right. Xia Tian inserted chopsticks into the meat to test it. It was cooked, so he took it out of the pot directly.
Xia Yue took out the meat and put it in a basin to dry.
I tried it in the summer and it tasted the same as the one she braised.
It seems that everyone has already gotten started.
She could finally relax a little.
The braised meat was ready, and seeing that Xia Yue had nothing to do for the time being, he took her to the stall to exchange for Xia Yang.
It was Xia Yue’s first time to come to the town market, and everything she saw was new to her.
This is also the reason why Xia Tian brought her here. It is good for her to see the world, so that when she gets married, she won’t have to stay around the stove at home every day.
When they arrived at the stall, Xia Tian took over the work from Xia Yang and asked him to deliver the goods to the restaurant first.
Xia Yue was helping out on the side.
She took the time to look at the bucket, which was empty. It seemed that only what was left was in the basin.
The three of them sold out in a short time.
Today we prepared two more pig intestines and pig heads than yesterday, and 50 kilograms of dried tofu, all of which were sold out.
Xia Tian saw that Sun Maimiao was sweating, so he handed her a cloth and said, "Sister-in-law, wipe your sweat quickly. Have you been busy all the time?"
"Well, there are a lot of people here today, so we have been busy." Sun Maimiao took the towel and said while wiping the sweat off his face.
"Have you paid the management fee today?"
"I paid it and got some braised food as a gift."
"Well done! Don't feel bad about the braised food. You can set up a stall here and send some to them every day to go with their wine. If anything happens to our stall, you can always have a say."
"Yeah." The two nodded.
"There's a saying that goes, 'The mouth that eats is grateful, and the hand that takes is soft,' and there's another saying that goes, 'It's easier to deal with the King of Hell than with the devils.' Don't underestimate anyone. In business, harmony brings wealth."
"Fourth sister, I've taken note of it all." Sun Maimiao replied seriously.
She knew that Xia Tian was teaching her, and she was grateful in her heart. Without Si Ya, they would not have their current life. Not only did Xia Tian pay them wages, but he also taught them how to do things. He even made Xia Yang a partner and gave them half of the profits.
Xia Yue was also listening carefully and silently keeping these words in mind.
Xia Tian drove all the way, and when the three of them got home, Xia Yang also came back.
He recorded today's cash flow in the account book, instructed Yunlai Restaurant about delivering the goods in the afternoon, and gave Xia Yang ten taels of silver as payment.
Just leave the rest to them.
Xia Tian went for a walk on the street and bought some food to store in her space. She also bought some kelp and dried shrimps from a vendor. She suddenly remembered that there was a sea where she was, but it was just far away from Qingquan Town.
Seeing that there was nothing to buy, I went straight back to Liujia Village.
Today, she arrived home before noon. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Mu Feng and Shen Nian practicing martial arts with sticks in the yard. She was slightly surprised, "Brother Shen, you also know kung fu?"
Shen Nian threw away the stick, walked to the table and sat down before replying, "Yeah, a little bit. Why are you back so early today?"
"I came back because I thought there was nothing wrong." Xia Tian went over and poured himself a glass of water.
"Sister-in-law, I caught a rabbit today. Let's see what to do with it?" Mu Feng also threw away the stick and walked over.
"You went to the mountains?"
"Well, I'm bored, so I'm going to take a walk in the mountains."
His sister-in-law wasn't at home to braise the meat these past two days, so he didn't have to help with the processing of pig intestines or anything like that. When he had nothing to do, he would go to the mountains to chop firewood, or stay at home and chop bamboo with his master.
The split bamboo strips are enough for the master to weave for a month.
Xiatian got up to look at the rabbits. "So many?"
She thought there were only one or two rabbits? But there were already eight rabbits here. Did he kill the whole family?
"Yeah, I just happened to meet you." Mu Feng felt embarrassed. It was because he was too idle that he could only go up the mountain to hunt small animals. His master was at home, so he couldn't go deep into the mountains. In case anything happened, he could come back in time.
"Then let's have dry pot rabbit for lunch!"
"Anything is fine."
"I'll go prepare the ingredients, you take care of the rabbits. I need two."
"Okay, sister-in-law."
There are three people in my family, and they all have big appetites, so I decided to make two to ensure they have enough to eat.
Xia Tian went to the kitchen to prepare ingredients such as onions, ginger, and garlic. Mu Feng's rabbit was also prepared. She took it and chopped it into small pieces. After blanching it, she put it in the pot and stir-fried it. When it was almost done, she added water and started stewing it.
