The call of "Jiahui's brother-in-law" made Xiang Yuanfang blush.
"Xiaoxue, his name is Liu Yixue. He's my classmate and also my boyfriend."
"Oh my god, it's only been a while since we last met, and you're all getting married or looking for boyfriends. I'm so envious!"
Chen Ruxue teased again.
Fortunately, Huang Jiahui and Zheng Liqing both knew her well, and neither of them took her seriously.
"You guy, we can't compare to you. Who can compare to my brother-in-law's looks?"
"Okay, let's not talk about it for now. Sister Li Qing and I asked you to come here today mainly to see you, and also to bring them here for you to see. By the way, we'd like to have a meal with you."
"Eating isn't easy. I'm happy today, so I'll cook for you myself."
Mother Ye had just sent her children away and was feeling lonely. When she saw Huang Jiahui and Zheng Liqing coming over, she was quite happy.
Busy preparing lunch with Chen Ruxue.
Huang Jiahui and Zheng Liqing naturally felt it was not convenient for them to just stand by and watch, so they also did some simple work like picking and washing vegetables.
Everyone worked hard for a long time and a sumptuous lunch was ready.
During the meal, everyone was talking and laughing.
"Auntie, the food you cook is really delicious. If you open a restaurant someday, your business will definitely be booming."
Huang Jiahui's mouth was full from eating, and she didn't forget to compliment Ye's mother.
"Jiahui is such a sweet talker. My cooking skills can't compare to those of the chefs at other restaurants."
"Auntie, what I said is true. Xiaoxue, do you think I'm right? With Auntie's cooking skills, if she opened a restaurant, she would definitely make a lot of money."
Chen Ruxue, who was named, did not nod blindly, but thought about it carefully before saying, "Mom, I think what Sister Jiahui said makes sense.
With your current skills, you might be able to open a small shop."
Mother Ye shook her head and didn't take it seriously, "You kids, all you do is say nice things to coax me, an old woman.
Nowadays, all the restaurants outside are government-owned, so we are not allowed to work alone!"
"That's not necessarily true! Auntie, let me tell you, outside our school and at the factory gates, there are often people setting up stalls there.
There are people selling sweet soup, special snacks, and even clothes. I’ve come across them many times.”
Huang Jiahui spoke very seriously, and what she said was indeed the truth.
"Is there such a thing? Xiaoxue, have you seen it?"
"Mom, I haven't seen it around our school, but I have seen it in other crowded places."
When Ye's mother heard this, she became interested and wanted to ask more questions, but was interrupted by Ye's father, "Okay, let's eat quickly, otherwise it will get cold!"
"Yes, eat first, don't stop, eat quickly!"
What followed was basically just the sound of gurgling swallowing, mixed with the clinking of dishes and chopsticks.
After seeing off Huang Jiahui and the others, Ye's mother pulled Chen Ruxue over to the side and said, "Xiaoxue, do you think it would be okay if I also made some food to sell?"
"Of course I can. Damn, your cooking skills are beyond the reach of most people."
But, Mom, why are you asking this all of a sudden? Do you want to go out and set up a stall too? " Chen Ruxue suddenly realized something.
"Mom, we have enough food and clothes at home, so there's no need for you to suffer that hardship!
If you really want to do something, I suggest you wait another year or two. By then, you will probably be able to open a shop privately.
I will pay for you to open a small restaurant when the time comes."
“No, it’s not.
Xiaoxue, you misunderstood. Actually, I'm just a little bored staying at home every day.
You see, Dabao is getting bigger and bigger now. You basically don’t have to take any care of him as long as you give him some food.
Tuan Tuan and Qiu Qiu can now walk and have started learning to talk, making them less troublesome to take care of.
I just thought I couldn’t stay at home like this all day, and it would be nice to do something to kill time.”
After saying this, Ye's mother stole a few glances at Chen Ruxue.
In fact, the main reason why she wanted to cook and sell food was to add some income to her family.
After being in Beijing for such a long time, whether it was her son, her, the old man, or Dabao, all of them relied on Chen Ruxue for their survival.
Although she knew that Chen Ruxue's family was wealthy, Ye's mother always felt a little uncomfortable living like this for many years.
Just today, when she heard that someone was setting up a stall outside to make money, she had this idea in her mind.
Dabaozi has to be sent to school in the second half of the year. We can’t rely on Chen Ruxue, the second daughter-in-law, to pay for the tuition!
That's totally unacceptable!
Chen Ruxue was very smart and easily guessed what Ye's mother was thinking. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She wanted to say that the money she had now was enough for them to spend.
But she also understood that Ye's mother was thinking about her. Thinking of this, Chen Ruxue spoke again, "Mom, if you really want to make something to sell, why don't you make some braised food first!"
“Compared to stir-frying, braised food is relatively simpler and more convenient.
We have space at home, so we can buy some offal and braise them, then sell them directly."
"Yes, my skill in making braised offal is quite good. When I was in Donglin Brigade, every time I made this at home, the whole neighborhood would drool at the delicious smell.
But how do we sell it, and where do we sell it? That’s the problem.”
Ye's mother was a little worried.
"Mom, don't worry about this. In a few days, Haonan and I will go get a rickshaw and buy a big iron pot and a coal stove.
In short, you don’t have to worry about it, we will prepare a complete set of things for you.”
"That's great. I'll ask your dad to go to the butcher shop and buy some pig offal. I'll be responsible for braising it at home, and your dad will be responsible for selling it."
After getting the guarantee, Ye's mother happily returned to the kitchen to continue cleaning.
Chen Ruxue went to find Ye Haonan, "Brother Nan, Mom wants to sell braised food. We need to help her buy a rickshaw."
"Mom... I know, Mom did it all for Dabao and me.
I'll take some time tomorrow to go out and see if I can buy a tricycle."
Chen Ruxue naturally understood what Ye Haonan meant, "Then you must be careful."
At night, after coaxing the two little ones to sleep, Chen Ruxue and Ye Haonan leaned against each other and talked, "Actually, I think it's good for Mom to have something to do.
Besides, haven’t you noticed that ever since what happened with Tuantuan and Qiuqiu, Mom always felt like she owed us.
Once they get this thing off the ground and have some money, maybe things will get better.”
Chen Ruxue told Ye Haonan about her discovery.
