Chapter 160 Making and Selling Braised Food



Hu Shi naturally didn't want to ask for help, but since the schooling was being held at the village school, it was a village matter. However, for some reason, she still had to talk to Yin Shi about it, as if it was the teacher's idea. Hu Shi was particularly unhappy about this.

The next day, Yin Lan went into the city with Chen Yourun again.

Yin Lan made some more jelly and sent it to the Prince's residence.

I also bought fifty bolts of cloth.

In addition, now that Yin Lan has money, she went to a restaurant in the county town and bought a portion of all the snacks and dried goods that were on sale.

And you know what? The food was really expensive. She didn't eat any of it; instead, she packed it up and took it home for everyone to eat together.

In addition, Chen Yourun went to buy rice, flour, and oil. After winter, even with Yin Lan's careful additions, there wasn't much left.

In the end, Yin Lan said she was going to deliver goods to someone, which were those tattered clothes. In fact, Yin Lan had already sold most of the tattered clothes. Now she was just in a corner, taking all the remaining old clothes to the system to sell, and she got another four taels of silver.

After returning home, she took out all the money she had saved, a total of more than twenty taels of silver notes, and showed it to Chen Yourun.

She was extremely pleased with herself.

“We can do this once or twice; it’s not a long-term solution,” Chen Yourun cautioned.

Yin Lan had also prepared her explanation: "I only found out today that this person is actually a middleman. He helps the pilgrims with their work and needs a lot of old clothes and items. He even told me today that there are not enough items and asked me to exchange some more."

There is indeed such a custom nowadays. When something happens to a wealthy family, they will use this method to pray for the person who is in trouble, or to pray for the whole family during festivals.

Since things could still be done, Chen Yourun didn't say anything.

The two of them pulled the cart full of things back home.

The rice, flour, and oil were carried into the house. In the past, Da Wa would have tried to count every single grain of rice, but he couldn't count them back then. Now, after such a long period of learning, counting is no problem at all. However, Da Wa, who has become accustomed to eating rice, will not do such a thing anymore.

He's very busy now, studying, practicing martial arts, tutoring others, and helping his mother with chores.

Every day she ate and drank well, but tonight's dinner was different. Yin Lan bought a lot of dishes from a restaurant in the county town, which cost her three taels of silver, and she was very distressed.

However, doing this is also for the purpose of knowing oneself and one's enemy.

Wang Yun glanced at it and lost interest. She was tired of these things, and none of them tasted as good as what Sister Yin made.

Liu Jing wasn't interested either.

However, the eldest, second, and third children's eyes widened. "From the county town? Wow! It must be super delicious!"

They had never eaten anything from the county town before, and they never imagined that one day they would be able to eat at a restaurant in the county town!

So after Yin Lan gave her permission, he couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth.

After chewing two, his enthusiastic face slowly fell.

All three kids ate it.

"How is it?" Yin Lan asked.

"It doesn't taste good."

"It's not as good as my mother's cooking."

"I don't like it." The three children gave almost the same answer.

"The restaurants in the county town are never as good as your cooking," Wang Yun concluded.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have stayed here for so long.

Yin Lan and Chen Yourun tasted it, and sure enough, the taste was very ordinary.

When it was time to rest that night, Chen Yourun scooped Yin Lan up with one hand. His thick arm held Yin Lan so tightly that she couldn't move at all. Just as she was about to turn over,

Yin Lan spoke first, "What do you think, how about we go into business?"

Chen Yourun stopped what he was doing. "Pig offal?"

Yin Lan's eyes sparkled. "Mmm."

She was worried he might disagree, but Chen Yourun said directly, "I went to inquire today. Renting a shop in the county town costs about 500 wen a month. It's more expensive in a good location and cheaper in a less desirable one. If we rent it, we'll need to do renovations and buy tables, benches, pots, pans, and other kitchenware..."

Yin Lan pressed down his hand, "Let's not go all out at first, let's take it one step at a time. Besides, the world isn't very peaceful right now. If something happens, we might lose all our money. And we need to save some money for ourselves."

Chen Yourun smiled, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "You're right."

Seeing how enthusiastic she was, he had considered this possibility beforehand. However, things shouldn't get chaotic in the short term. So, she was determined to do it and was full of confidence. Chen Yourun was also full of confidence, so he thought he should sit up first. If something unexpected happened, the loss of money wouldn't be too much.

But he didn't expect that his wife was also a cautious person.

If we're talking about caution, no one in the whole village is as thoughtful or daring as she is.

But when it comes to doing things, he does them step by step, which is... somewhat like him.

Chen Yourun's heart softened as well.

"I'll do whatever you say."

Yin Lan smiled. Fortunately, this man didn't think it was wrong for a woman to do these things.

She pushed his hand away. "You'll listen to me? Then I don't want tonight."

Chen Yourun's sharp gaze caught a fleeting glimpse of cunning in her eyes.

The next second, he was already kissing her, blocking her path.

His breath was hot and scalding, and his words were muffled.

"This won't do."

He concluded by saying...

Now the two of them have this entertainment activity every night, and Yin Lan has gradually found some interest in it.

Initially, Yin Lan couldn't do it. She would get tired easily if she did it continuously, and she couldn't stick to it for long. So Chen Yourun devised an "exercise plan" for her.

He really did make her run every day. In winter, he would sweep snow outside the small courtyard to make a path, and he would take her to run around the small house forty times at a time!

He also said that this is the minimum amount of exercise!

Yin Lan almost vomited blood.

Later, forty laps really became a piece of cake for her, and even the kids found it very interesting. The whole family of five would often chase each other around the track.

Now that the weather is warmer, I can go for a run around the village. The area is larger, so it won't be so boring.

Now that Yin Lan has fully developed her physical strength, she can play however she wants without fear.

Therefore, the two of them would have at least one in-depth conversation every day.

The next day, Yin Lan went to the Chen family and told Chen's third son's wife, "Find five reliable and meticulous people to start cleaning pig offal today."

The third son's wife immediately took care of things perfectly.

Yin Lan was unfamiliar with the customs of the villagers, but the third son's wife often interacted with them, so she immediately went to find five people to come over.
