Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chen Afu introduced Chu Hanyan, "This is brother Yang, and this is sister Yang."

Yang Qian is more than a month older than Chu Hanyan, and she is also the younger sister.

Chu Hanyan is now only used to getting along with her three children, Dabao and Luo Mei. As soon as the Yang brothers and sisters entered the room, her little face tensed up and her little mouth pursed tightly.

People don't like them!

Chen Afu was not only not angry when he saw the little girl's performance, he was also very happy. She finally knew how to express her thoughts, even if she didn't speak and just made an expression, it was progress.

The younger brothers and sisters of the Yang family didn't feel that they were being disliked. Yang Chao was talking lively with Dabao, Qiqi and Huihui.

Yang Qian is even more familiar with her. As soon as she saw Chu Hanchu, she fell in love with this beautiful sister. She took off her shoes and climbed onto the kang, sat opposite Chu Hanyan, looked at her and said, "Sister, you are so beautiful, let's play house."

Seeing that Chu Hanyan ignored her, she added, "Then let's play hide-and-seek, okay?" Seeing that Chu Hanyan ignored her, she was not discouraged and said, "Then let's recite nursery rhymes."

Then, regardless of whether others agreed or not, he clapped his hands and started to memorize:

Cart pusher, cart grinder,

Send your brother to school.

My brother studied for three years.

A test to become a scholar.

I worship my father first, then my mother.

Bye bye, let’s go into my wife’s room.

Gold locks the key and opens the silver box,

There was light in my wife's room.

Although her speech was not very clear, she memorized it in a precise and serious manner. As soon as he finished reciting it, Chen Afu and Miaoer in the room, as well as Mama Song and Yang Qian's wet nurse Mama Huang outside the door, made them laugh.

Chu Hanchu didn't react at first, and looked at Yang Qian blankly, maybe because he thought this little girl was so ridiculous. Seeing that everyone else was laughing, she thought it was very funny even though she didn't understand what the little girl was carrying, so she also started grinning.

Yang Qian was very happy when she saw her sister smiling, and said, "Sister, carry it." Seeing that she only smiled but did not recite it, and was not angry, she took out the handkerchief from her arms and said, "Then let's play folding handkerchiefs."

Then, he rubbed the handkerchief a few times, then put the handkerchief into Chu Hanyan's hand and asked her to fold it. Then he took the handkerchief back, rubbed it a few times, and then put it into Chu Hanyan's hand.

Chen Dabao will attract Chu Hanyan's attention again. He is also a little boy and too mature to play like Yang Qian's little girls.

Although Luo Mei was a little girl, her superiority and inferiority made her dare not treat Chu Yanhan like that.

The little girl Yang Qian was very novel to Chu Hanyan, and she no longer rejected Yang Qian. She watched the little girl Yang chatting happily with herself.

Chen Afu was very happy and cultivated her well, and the little girl Yang who was familiar with her was the little girl Chu's little handkerchief.

Maybe Song's mother thought so too, and her smile towards Huang's mother was much kinder than when they first came in.

At noon, Chen Ming asked A Lu to invite Chen Ye, his son and Gao Lizheng over to drink with him. In a short time, Hu Laowu's dog nose could smell the smell of Chen's wine and ran over, carrying a jar of wine.

Chen Ming disliked this person very much, but even if he came, he could not drive him away. People say it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. It’s best not to offend people like Hu Laowu.

Chen Afu took the time to make a dish of golden smooth pork. This dish was the children's favorite. Even Sister Yan actively pointed to "that" dish.

Yang Chao, whose mouth was full of oil after eating, said again, "Aunt Chen, the chefs in my restaurant don't cook as delicious as you."

Chen Afu smiled and said, "If you like it, eat more."

After the meal, several children were sleepy. Chu Hanyan and Yang Qian, who were holding the big swallow doll, slept in the east room bedroom, while Dabao, Luo Mingcheng, and Yang Chao slept in the west room.

Chen Afu asked Luo Mei to sleep in the east room with the two girls, but the little girl shook her head and said, "No, the slave must serve the master."

Chen Afu smiled and said, "You sleep next to my sister. If she needs it, you get up and serve her."

After hearing this, Luo Mei obediently slept on the outermost corner of the kang.

Chen Afu heard that they had finished drinking and Chen Ye and others had left before going to the old courtyard.

After lunch, Chen Ming was in poor health and a little tired. He drank some wine and went to the west room to sleep.

Manager Luo and Yang Mingyuan were arranged to rest in the east room.

Yang Mingyuan had something to do, so he came to wait for Chen Afu under the eaves.

He was wearing a long camel-colored cotton brocade robe, with a medium build, and his facial features were not handsome, but the shrewdness and calmness in his eyes gave him a lot of points, making him feel at ease.

Chen Afu didn't have much contact with him, but through his two children, Chen Afu felt that he must be a good person. If the child is taught so well, it must be because of this father.

He saw Chen Afu coming from the side door and smiled at her, "I have a business deal. I wonder if Mrs. Chen is interested."

It turned out that Yang Mingyuan wanted to open another restaurant in Dingzhou Prefecture, and felt that with the special dishes of nine-flavor fresh braised pork and fine bran fried food, he should be able to gain a foothold in Dingzhou Prefecture where there are many restaurants.

Some time ago, he went to Dingzhou. As soon as he found the address of a restaurant, he went to visit a friend who opened a wine shop.

It was evening, and smoke was rising from every house's chimney. When I was still far away from my friend's liquor store, I saw a lot of bustle in front of his house. When I got closer, I smelled a nice smell of marinade. After squeezing in, I saw a large pot on an earthen stove. Some bamboo sticks were warming in the pot, and meat and vegetables were skewered on the sticks. The appearance was very strange.

My friend said these were Chen San braised skewers, so he bought all the braised skewers left in the pot and invited Yang Mingyuan to eat them.

Yang Mingyuan feels that this kind of braised skewers is a bit like his own Jiuwei Fresh Braised Sauce, but the taste is slightly lighter than Jiuwei Fresh Braised Sauce. However, people's way of eating has changed. They are dressed in skewers, which is very unique and tastes more delicious. Moreover, rich people like to eat it, poor people can afford it, and children like it even more.

I heard from friends that this kind of food has become a famous snack in Fucheng in a short period of time, attracting many people to try it, not only because of the good taste, but also because the owner of this restaurant is smart and his method of selling braised skewers is very special.

It turned out that after Chen San became famous for his braised skewers, he found six more "sales points". Instead of renting a shop, I would find a good wine shop with a good port in an area where there are many wealthy people, and pay a high price to rent a small space in front of the shop to sell Chen San Lu Chuan, and the rent would only apply for an hour. If it rains or snows, move inside the shop.

Of course the wine shop owner is willing to do this kind of thing. It doesn’t affect my own business and I can still make money. Later, I discovered that even the wine business was much better than usual, which was an unexpected surprise.

However, Chen San stopped renting it after eight days, saying that most of the money he earned went into the liquor store and it was not worth it. The wine shop owner was unwilling to let them go. The price dropped again and again until Chen San was satisfied with the price before continuing to cooperate.
