Chapter 24: Stall Preparation



I weighed two pounds of lean meat to cook for dinner and then prepared to go home.

Passing by a tofu stall, I saw dried tofu for sale, so I weighed two pounds of dried tofu and spent ten cents.

This braised dish tastes just as good as meat.

I'm going to set up a stall tomorrow. Xia Tian will prepare the stew at home tonight and bring it over to sell tomorrow. She can cover it and put it in a space. It should still be warm when she sets up the stall in the morning.

This way, there is no need to open fire, which saves a lot of trouble.

There was nothing to buy, so I found a noodle stall in the summer and ordered a bowl of plain noodles. I ate it slowly before walking back.

It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon when I got home. I said hello to Shen Nian and hurried to the village carpenter's house to order a table, a wooden barrel and a wooden basin.

You don’t need to use fire to set up a stall, but you can’t sell directly on the ground. It’s cleaner to put a table on it.

Wooden barrels and basins can be used to store braised dishes separately.

The carpenter had the items ready at home. In the summer, I asked for a square wooden table, two wooden barrels and a large wooden basin, paid for them, and had them delivered directly to my home.

I'll see what else is missing tomorrow and add more then.

It’s getting late, so we quickly take out the large intestines and pig’s feet, light a fire and start braising.

Shen Nian watched Xia Tian busying around, but didn't disturb him. He just sat quietly in the yard and cut bamboo.

Ever since Shen Nian's health improved, he has become very interested in bamboo weaving and sits in the yard to weave when he has nothing to do.

Now there are a lot of backpacks, bamboo baskets, small stools and other things at home.

But it’s a good thing that Shen Nian has something to do, it’s good to kill time.

In the summer, we braise pig intestines and other things. Since it’s getting late, we clean up and start cooking dinner. Now the cabbages in the field can be eaten.

She stir-fried some Chinese cabbage, fried some lean meat with dried chili peppers, made some egg drop soup, and had rice as her staple food, then prepared to eat.

After dinner, turn down the heat and continue to simmer for a better flavor.

Xia Tian took the cloth to see Sister Yao and asked her to help make clothes, paying her ten cents for each piece of clothing.

Mrs. Yao happily agreed.

Come to think of it, there will be a lot of people on Uncle Liu’s ox cart at the market tomorrow.

I went to Uncle Liu's house again and told him to pick her up at her door in the morning. She had a lot of things and it would be difficult for her to carry them all by herself, so I would charge him double the money when the time comes.

The next morning, Xia Tian got up early, prepared breakfast for Chen Nian and warmed it in the pot, and then ate some himself.

It was probably around five in the morning when Uncle Liu arrived. Xia Tian moved the table, wooden barrels, and wooden basins onto the ox cart, and also brought a small stool woven by Shen Nian.

The wooden barrel was covered with a lid and only contained a small amount of things. The rest was placed in the space and then quietly transferred to the barrel when it arrived.

Load the things into the car and drive directly to the village entrance.
