    ?

    It was very dark outside, and it was still raining, but it was much lighter than last night.

    After Chen Yaozu had a quick wash, he put on his coir raincoat and went out with a bamboo hat oiled with tung oil.

    Yuzhi finished cooking the bucket chicken and tidied up everything before opening the door to let out the rich smell of meat in the room.

    After finishing all this work, she closed the door, went back to the room and fell asleep.

    In a daze, Yuzhi heard Wang's going out, so she sat up from the bed, closed her eyes for a while, and then got out of bed.

    It's raining today, so it's probably going to be cold, so I need to find some thicker clothes to wear.

    She rummaged through her suitcase, and found that there was not a single piece of thick clothes that fit, let alone old ones. What's more, these clothes were all too small!

    After being stunned for a moment, Yuzhi picked out an old green cloth jacket and put it on, looked at the snow-white wrists that were exposed, and then took out a black skirt to tie it on¡ªin fact, the skirt was a bit short too!

    Mrs. Wang walked over quickly from the stove, holding a tray in her hand: "Yuzhi, breakfast is ready!"

    Yuzhi stepped forward to take the tray with a smile, saw two bowls of salted spinach and corn porridge, and said in a low voice: "Grandma seems to really not plan to spend the money to buy food. Daddy bought some cornmeal, so we can only eat it."  It's cornmeal every day!"

    Now that Mrs. Wang has money in her hands, she also has the confidence. She sneered and said: "They have always only entered but not exited. If it goes on like this, it will only be a hardship for our eldest room and third room. The three of them will take it for themselves."  Money secretly bought meat buns and hot pot noodles to eat, anyway, we won¡¯t be hungry. We¡¯re okay, with you supporting us, what about Sanfang? In the end, it¡¯s Yuhe, the kid who suffers!¡±

    Yuzhi set the dishes and chopsticks, and said in a low voice: "Mother, let's have breakfast first, let's go to the street after breakfast!"

    Mrs. Wang agreed, took a mouthful of corn porridge, and said, "Yuzhi, you marinated the chicken with bamboo shoots yesterday. I smelled very good. Otherwise, let's marinate some more chicken, duck, and fish and sell them together."  , which is richer!"

    Yuzhi smiled, and said softly: "Mother, we are a small business, it's better to focus on it. When selling stewed meat, we specialize in selling stewed meat. Make the stewed meat the best in Xihe Town, the best in Weishi County, and even the best in Ganzhou."  Okay, that¡¯s it, why bother to be greedy?¡±

    She thought about it for a while, and finally confessed to Wang: "Mother, I remember that the guest who taught the craft of making brine said that this brine can't easily be marinated with other things, and the taste will change!"

    Wang felt that what her daughter said was too reasonable, so she stopped asking.

    After a while, she remembered something again, and looked up at Yuzhi: "Yuzhi, since you can't marinate other things, then you¡ª"

    Yuzhi smiled sweetly: "Why should I marinate the chicken with bamboo shoots? Right?"

    She smiled and said: "There is a trick to preserving brine, that is to brine one or two chickens every once in a while to increase the freshness of the brine and clean up the blackness of the brine!"

    Mrs. Wang didn't understand Yuzhi's words, and stared at Yuzhi with wide eyes.

    Yuzhi stretched out her white and tender index finger and put it on the cherry lips, hissed, and said with a smile: "Mother, this is our mother's secret, don't let others learn it!"

    Wang smiled: "That's natural!"

    Although Yuzhi is only thirteen years old, she is much smarter than her mother, and much more reliable than Chen Yaozu's father, so she naturally wants to listen to her daughter!

    After breakfast, the mother and daughter rinsed their mouths and cleaned up. They put on the coir raincoat and the bamboo hat with tung oil on them, put on the cage and went out together.

    Their charcoal stove, casserole, brine, and chopping boards were taken to the street by Chen Yaozu's ancestors, and the rest of the odds and ends were carried by Wang Shi and Yuzhi in backpacks.

    Chen Yaozu was guarding the side of the stall. When he saw Wang Shi and Yuzhi coming, he came over and helped Yuzhi take off the cage first, and then helped Wang take off the cage.

    Seeing that two large tarpaulin umbrellas had already been propped up on the booth, which could cover the rain, Yuzhi began to busily set up the booth.

    After everything was finished, a layer of sweat broke out on Yuzhi's back, and then she realized that she was tired, so she sat down on the stool and waited for the customers to come before getting up.

    After finishing talking about the housework, Wang and Chen Yaozu were about to ask Yuzhi if she wanted to buy some oil paper, but found that Yuzhi had fallen asleep sitting on the stool.

    Chen Yaozu looked over, only to find that the clothes on Yuzhi's body were very small, a lot of wrists were exposed, and the skirt seemed to be too short.

    Mrs. Wang was a little sad, and said softly: "Yuzhi doesn't even have any clothes that fit her body, and this set of old clothes her sister-in-law doesn't want"

    Chen Yaozu also recognized it at this moment, and he was really impressed¡ªJiaoniang has always been overbearing, and she refused to let Yuzhi buy clothes.??Give this old suit to Yuzhi, but ask him to blackmail him for a new suit.

    He didn't speak for a long time, and finally said: "Yuzhi grows too fast, if she doesn't grow so fast, she can wear Jiaoniang's old clothes."

    Wang: ""

    She no longer hoped that Chen Yaozu would take the initiative to spend money to buy cloth for Yuzhi to make clothes, or what Yuzhi said was right, women still have to rely on themselves, since they have money, they can buy whatever they want!

    Mrs. Wang sighed, took her old jacket over, and put it on Yuzhi's body.

    Seeing that it was almost noon, Chen Yaozu and Mrs. Wang went home for dinner.

    As soon as they left, Han Xing came again.

    This time he didn't ride a horse, he was wearing a rain hat and an oilcloth rain poncho, strode over, put a wine jar on the stall, took off the rain hat and held it in his hand: "Cut another five catties of stewed pork, and another five catties of braised meat from yesterday.  Plant marinated pork ribs and buy another five catties!"

    Yuzhi smiled and said: "There are all kinds of stewed meat, but the stewed pork ribs are specially made to honor Mr. Xu, so there are not many!"

    Han Xing was about to speak, but Yu Zhi conjured up a bamboo basket with oiled paper inside, and two oiled paper bags on it: "Brother Han Xing, what do you think this is?"

    The oil paper was wrapped tightly, but Han Xing still smelled the tangy fragrance, and his slender eyes looked at Yuzhi: "This is¡ª¡ª"

    Yuzhi's big eyes narrowed into crescent moons, she was very cute: "These are two special little bamboo shoot chickens that I honor Mrs. Xu today!"

    Han Xing couldn't help laughing, and glanced at Yuzhi: "You little girl is really smart!"

    Yuzhi smiled and said: "Master Xu supervised the construction of the fortress for our Dazhou and for the people of Xihe Town. I have no other skills. It is also my duty to make some delicious food to honor Master Xu!"

    Han Xing saw that Yuzhi had said this beautifully, so he didn't say any more, and said directly: "Then just five catties of stewed meat, I'll take these two little bamboo shoot chickens for adults to taste!"

    Yuzhi filled five catties of stewed meat, and while using the meat with a razor blade, he chatted up with Han Xing: "Brother Han Xing, do we, Mr. Xu, like to drink wine and eat chicken?"

    Han Xing didn't expect Yuzhi to be so good at hitting snakes with sticks. After a while, "Master Xu" became "Master Xu".

    He glanced at Yuzhi and said, "Which man doesn't like wine?"

    Yuzhi saw that Han Xing didn't like to talk about these things, so she didn't ask any more questions, and quickly cut up the stewed meat, wrapped it in oiled paper, tied it with paper string, put it in the bamboo basket containing the stewed chicken and bucket chicken, and wrapped the bamboo  The basket was handed over to Han Xing, and he scooped up the stewed chicken gizzards, stewed chicken liver, and stewed chicken feet with bamboo chopsticks, wrapped them in oiled paper, and offered them up with a smile: "This is my snack for you, Brother Hanxing!"

    Han Xing found that this girl named Yuzhi looked like the snow-white pear blossoms on the branches in spring, she was white, tender, delicate and lovely, but she didn't seem to realize her beauty at all, and she worked hard to curry favor with others.  It's like old fritters.

    He took a look at Yuzhi, reached out and took out a purse and threw it on the stall: "Our adults said, the extra is your reward!"

    Yuzhi smiled and bent her knees: "Thank you, Mr. Xu! I will definitely respect Mr. Xu in the future!"

    Han Xing finally couldn't bear it anymore: "According to the age of us adults, he really can't be your father without your 'filial piety'!"

    Yuzhi was quite educated, nodded, and said solemnly: "Thank you brother Hanxing for your advice, I will try to curry favor with Master Xu in the future!"

    Han Xing: "then you should be filial!"

    Yuzhi couldn't bear it anymore, and laughed with a "puchi".

    Watching Han Xing walk westward with a wine jar in one hand and a bamboo basket in the other, Yuzhi reached out to pick up the pouch he left behind, weighed it first, then squeezed it, the smile on her face could no longer be restrained  That's it-although it's all broken silver, it's almost a tael!

    She laughed again.

    I have to save enough four taels of silver, and I have successfully shortened the distance with Han Xing¡ª¡ªHan Xing is getting closer, but will Mr. Xu be far away?

    Yuzhi lowered her eyes and thought to herself, "When I have a crush on Mr. Xu in the future, how can I ask Mr. Xu about Ah Qin?"  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
