"You guys are back. How's the shop going today? Are you able to handle it?"
When Lin's mother heard a noise in front of the courtyard gate, she hurried out and saw that it was indeed Lin Yunchu and his companions who had returned. She then helped to move the things off the ox cart while asking questions.
The shop launched new food today, and she had been a little worried at home all day, fearing that they would be too busy to handle it.
As soon as he saw a few people coming back, he began to ask Lin Yunchu anxiously.
If she really can't handle it, she and the child's father will go to help tomorrow. Having more people can slow down the process. Anyway, the work at home and in the fields doesn't need to be done in one or two days.
Seeing the worried look on Lin's mother's face, Lin Yunchu knew that she was worried about them, so he quickly picked up the backpack from the ox cart and followed her into the yard.
Walking with Lin's mother, he explained softly, "It's nothing, mother. We can come here to help. Today, my uncle and aunt closed their stalls and came to help us."
The two put the things in the main hall, and Lin Yunchu continued, "It's just that the cold noodles we prepared today are all sold out. I asked my uncle and aunt to come to the shop tomorrow to try the cold noodles."
Lin Cuizhi and others who followed the two into the house nodded to Lin's mother when they heard Lin Yunchu's words.
The business in this shop is really good today, it is almost the same as the day when the shop first opened.
Thinking that many people have not eaten the cold noodles in the shop today, I am afraid I will have to be busy all day tomorrow and have to prepare more ingredients.
Hearing that the business was good, Mother Lin was happy, but at the same time she felt sorry for the children who were exhausted today, so she hurriedly urged them:
"You must be exhausted today. I've already prepared dinner. Let's eat first and then go back to have a good rest. I'll prepare the food for dinner."
There are many people at home, so these children just need to go back and have a good rest. They will be responsible for preparing the ingredients. They have seen it many times in their daily lives, so they naturally know how to do it.
Lin Yunchu nodded, turned around and looked at Lin Cuizhi and the others. He saw that everyone looked a little tired. It would be better for them to have dinner early and go back to rest.
Lin's mother had always watched the ingredients for spicy hot pot and cold noodles, so she naturally knew how to prepare them, and she had nothing to worry about.
Besides, she is here too, so she can just help with the preparations later. The others can go back and rest first, as they will probably be busy for another day tomorrow.
After Lin Yunchu and his companions had moved all the things off the ox cart, his aunt-in-law Yao had also prepared dinner and they had dinner.
After Lin Yunchu's persuasion, Lin Cuizhi, Lin Changping and others finally agreed to go home and rest.
After dinner, Lin's mother and Yao finally persuaded Lin Yunchu and the others to go back to the house, and then they began to prepare the ingredients needed for the next day.
Lin Yunchu had taught them these things before, and they would lend a hand when he was too busy on weekdays, so it was not difficult to do them at all.
Lin Yunchu said that the cold noodles prepared today were very popular. In the end, many customers rushed over and didn’t get to eat them. They all said that they must go to Lin’s shop to try it tomorrow.
According to Lin Yunchu, Lin's mother and Yao prepared some more according to today's quantity, thinking that it should be enough.
As the stars twinkled in the night sky, Qingxi Village gradually became quiet, as if the whole village had fallen into a deep sleep.
When Lin Yunchu woke up again, Pan Xiuxiu and Lin's mother were already busy in the kitchen.
Because there were many customers in the Lin family shop yesterday, Lin Qingshan told Lin Changping and Zhao Chunxi to go with them to the town to help today.
Lin's mother was afraid that Lin Changping and the other two would still refuse to have breakfast at the Lin family, so she baked a few more wild vegetable pancakes and boiled a few eggs for them to take with them and eat on the road.
This time Lin Changping was not polite and accepted it with a smile.
Although the pancakes baked by Lin's mother were made of wild vegetables, they tasted really delicious. He could finish a few more.
"Go slowly on your way. I've made plenty of boiled eggs, enough for you to eat. Don't go hungry."
Lin's mother stood in front of the courtyard gate, shouting and instructing the group of people who had already run away for a distance.
The Lin family is living a good life now, and they have enough eggs to eat. Mother Lin usually saves the eggs laid by the chickens in their backyard.
The Xie family would send some eggs from time to time, and now there were quite a few eggs at home. Mother Lin was worried that they would be hungry when they were busy working in town.
So I just made some more wild vegetable pancakes and steamed buns, and boiled two eggs for each person. It’s okay to eat more so that you won’t be hungry. We have some at home anyway, so it’s no problem to eat boiled eggs every day.
On the ox cart, Lin Yunchu waved to his mother Lin at the gate of his yard, then turned around and distributed a cake to everyone on the ox cart.
"Eat something first. I'm afraid we won't have much time to eat when we get to town."
Many customers didn’t buy cold noodles yesterday. Based on Lin Yunchu’s experience, those people would probably come to the shop early today.
If they eat more, it will be easier for them to work later.
Lin Changping was not polite and took it with a smile. He brought it to his mouth and took a big bite. Immediately, the aroma of the wild vegetable pancake spread in his mouth.
It smells so good!
Although Zi'er had just eaten a bowl of porridge and some side dishes at home and was half full, he couldn't help himself when he saw the pancake made by Lin's mother.
Lin Yunchu was right. They would be busy when they got to the town. They had nothing to do on the ox cart now, so they could take advantage of this break to eat something full so that they would have the energy to work later.
Seeing his cousin Lin Changping eating with such relish, Lin Yunchu couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and handed him another boiled egg, encouraging him to eat as much as he could.
Lin Changping ate the pancake in his hand, grinned, took the egg handed to him by Lin Yunchu, and laughed foolishly twice.
As the sun slowly rose higher, the group arrived at the shop and began to get busy.
When Lin Changting opened the door of the shop, he saw several familiar-looking old customers waiting in front of the shop.
When they saw Lin Changting open the door, they immediately stood up with a smile and said to Lin Changting:
"Oh, you finally opened the door. I've been thinking about this all night."
After a man finished speaking, he smiled in a naive manner, scratched his head and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He really worked hard to deal with his stuttering. If he told others about it, he would be laughed at by others.
As soon as he finished speaking, several people around him nodded in agreement.
"Of course not. I also came too late yesterday and didn't get to eat. But I heard from Old Li next door how delicious it was, so I came here early to wait. I must eat it today."
