Yingbao and her mother, Wang Yitong, watched Ye Tianyong putting on a show of being wronged, as if they wanted to coax him.
But the two of them wouldn't take the bait. Seeing this, Ye Tianyong could only temporarily suppress his grievances and said, "Can't you two just coax me a little?"
"What are you doing, acting all girly? You're a grown man." Wang Yitong said bluntly.
"Her father is such a scoundrel!" He's just looking for trouble, wanting to get his mother to scold him!
Yingbao wondered whether she should go out and hide for a while to avoid being implicated and scolded by her father, or stay where she was and watch the show unfold.
I thought about it for a long time...
After making a ruckus for a while, the three of them finally stopped and remembered the important matter of making money in business.
Finally, it was decided that Father Ye Tianyong would be responsible for purchasing the tools and materials needed for doing business; Yingbao and Mother Wang Yitong would be responsible for researching and discussing the base sauce for braised skewers.
The three had a clear division of labor, and each performed their duties!
To make braised skewers, you first need to prepare a spice packet. Yingbao asked her father, Ye Tianyong, to buy "star anise, fennel seeds, bay leaves, cloves, fennel seeds, thirteen-spice powder, cinnamon, angelica root, cardamom, galangal, white peppercorns, Sichuan peppercorns, and ginger." Yingbao planned to take out the other ingredients from her spatial storage.
Ye Tianyong spent the entire afternoon and evening trying to memorize the seasonings Yingbao needed, but he struggled and couldn't get it right no matter what he tried.
Having no other choice, Yingbao went to her older brother Ye Yuanhang for help again, "Big brother, can you write something for me? I need it."
Seeing Yingbao's anxious look, Ye Yuanhang didn't ask anything. Then Yingbao recited a word, and he wrote it down. The brother and sister worked together perfectly and finished writing in no time.
After finishing writing, Yingbao took it away without even saying goodbye to her older brother. She ran out, went to her father Ye Tianyong, stuffed it into his hand, and told him to make sure he read it.
Although Yingbao can write, she is only four and a half years old and cannot reveal it, otherwise her family will become suspicious of her.
Therefore, Yingbao can only speak, not write. She only learned to speak because her second aunt, Zhou Xiayun, taught her in her spare time. Otherwise, she wouldn't have thought she was so clever!
It seems she needs to get her second aunt to teach her to write, otherwise getting things done will be too much trouble!
Writing should definitely be put on the agenda.
Yingbao was making plans in her mind.
Before Ye Tianyong arrived at the county market, he opened the little note his daughter had asked him to read in a secluded corner.
After reading it, I carefully put it away and then went to the spice shop. I asked the owner for half a catty each of Sichuan peppercorns, salt, star anise, fennel seeds, fennel seeds, cinnamon, angelica root, and cardamom.
Ye Tianyong then bought half a jin of each item at a shop some distance from the market.
Ye Tianyong is a bit naive and rebellious in front of his family, mischievous and outspoken, but he's not like that outside.
Seeing that he was cautious and thoughtful in his work, he even bought seasonings from different shops, just in case someone found out and learned his methods, causing his daughter "Yingbao" to lose money.
To be honest, Yingbao had already thought of all this, so there are other seasonings that I haven't written down, and I plan to take them from my space.
But Ye Tianyong didn't know that. He just did everything he could think of and do as his father could.
After making the purchase, Ye Tianyong did not go home immediately, but instead went to a deserted courtyard.
Why is it described as desolate and uninhabited?
Because the weeds in the yard are all taller than Yingbao, if she were here, she probably wouldn't be able to see her head at all.
