    Chen Nianguan didn't know about this, and hurried to the pier, seeing that Liu's was collecting money in an orderly manner, loading fish curd, adding sauce, and handing them to the diners, and he didn't look overwhelmed, he was greatly relieved.

    Now the business of fish curd has stabilized at about one hundred a day, plus twenty for the noodle shop, it is one hundred and twenty.

    You can earn one hundred and twenty coins a day steadily.

    Making money is making money, but getting up at three o'clock every day to hunt fish paste and egg liquid is too tiring.

    After finishing the strenuous work, have to continue to stand out of the stall for another morning, which is fine for a short time, but Chen Nianguan fears that if this continues for a long time, both she and Mrs. Liu will not be able to bear it.

    She had to think about how to allocate manpower for this job to be reasonable.

    Back in the courtyard, after counting the copper coins, Chen Nianguan found that their daily income had reached a small peak.

    There are a total of one hundred and sixty-six Wen coins.

    Of course, the fifty coins among them were provided by the big patron Man Yuelou who joined today.

    Looking at the mountain of copper coins, Liu held them in both hands and smiled happily: "Wan Wan, a lot of money, a lot of money."

    Seeing Liu's rare childish side, Chen Nianguan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

    Although Chen Nianguan has been integrated into this era and this family, she calls Liu's Auntie on her lips, but in fact, Liu is only a few years older than her modern self. Except for the same name, she actually regards Liu as a woman in her heart.girlfriends.

    "Sister, a lot of money, a lot of money." Xuan Xuan also followed Liu's example, stretching out her thin hands to embrace those copper coins.

    "Well, we will make more money in the future, more and more money." Chen Nianguan also said, and saw Liu's mother and Xuan Xuan's mother and daughter nodding at him.

    After Liu calmed down from her joy, she slowly sat up and looked at Chen Nianguan, "But, Wan Wan, then Granny Lu and Aunt Hua won't let us use the shared kitchen, what will we do tomorrow?"

    "One day off, don't leave the stall?" Chen Nianguan said.

    "How can I do that?" Mrs. Liu was in a hurry. She lost more than 100 yuan a day without going out of the stall, which is too bad. Also, "Today is the first day of Yueman Building's opening, and you only offered fish for one day.If you give them rot, they will sell out of stock, will they think you have no integrity in doing business?"

    "That's true." Chen Nianguan thought for a while, "Since they don't let us use the shared kitchen, can we just build a private kitchen?"

    In fact, as long as a stove, an iron pot, a kitchen knife, a cutting board, and some firewood are enough.

    Sister-in-law Wang's house happened to have an iron pot, as well as a kitchen knife, which was a valuable item they brought with them when they fled from the northwest to famine, and agreed to lend them.

    "In addition to the stove, chopping boards and firewood are readily available in the county."

    Liu felt that what Chen Nianguan said made sense, "But, where is it?"

    "Just next to our wing?"

    The West Wing room that Mrs. Liu and the others rented was on the other side of the building, close to the door.

    There is an open space beside the wall, which is usually used by the Liu family to dry dry goods such as beans and dried vegetables, so it is not impossible to use it.

    "A simple stove can be built with a few bricks and some mud," said Chen Nianguan.

    This method was still found in the original body's memory.

    When Yuan went to his uncle’s house in the countryside for a wedding, there were so many people that cooking in the kitchen was too late, so he temporarily built an extra earthen stove in his courtyard and started the fire at the same time. After the banquet was over, the earthen stove was dismantled..

    "Auntie, what do you say?"

    Of course Liu Shi nodded in agreement.

    So, he immediately collected the copper coins and entrusted Xuan Xuan to Mrs. Wang, and the two went to buy them.

    When they came back from buying all the things, Brother Wang also came back from work, so he asked him for help. First, he built a simple earthen stove with the bricks that had been brought back, and then put the big pot that he bought on it, and it was stable.Sure enough.

    Brother Wang's Leizao technology is top-notch, and Chen Nianguan couldn't help giving him a thumbs up.

    That night, Chen Nianguan boiled a pot and cooked a dinner outside the house. He invited Brother Wang and Sister-in-law Wang to eat together, and thanked the couple for their help.

    It happened that there were still four fish left from Master Ming Hai's gift, so made one steamed fish and one braised fish.

    There is also a soup made from fish heads and fish bones in a crock pot. Fish curd and chives are added at the end, and the strong fish fragrance will permeate.

    Brother Wang and Sister-in-law Wang had tasted the fish curd made by Chen Nianguan, and they knew that Chen Nianguan was a good cook, but it was the first time to eat her cooking. After just one bite, they were convinced.

    Everyone enjoyed this whole fish feast.

    When cleaning up the mess, Mrs. Liu used the stove she built to boil water. After entering the room, she smiled and said, "Wan Wan, it's really great to build this stove. We can also boil water separately from the people in the yard, which is convenient."too much."

    Chen Nianguan also thinks his idea is good.

    When the mother and daughter were chatting, Aunt Hua came uninvited and made them quiet down suddenly.

    "That, Mrs. Chen San! Miss Chen Si is here too!" Aunt Hua smiled awkwardly, holding a bamboo basket in her hand, which contained a handful of dates, a piece of lotus root, and a handful of amaranth.

    Chen Nianguan didn't know what Aunt Hua was here for, and when she opened her mouth to say, "What happened in the kitchen today, I misunderstood Third Sister Chen."

    Oh, you brought such a small amount of things to make an apology?

    Why?

    Chen Nianguan believed in being courteous for nothing, rape or robbery, Aunt Hua was the one who hated her and Liu Shi in the first place, wishing they could be banned from using the common kitchen, she understood the reason after a little guesswork.

    There is always a kind of person in this world who just can't see you living better than her.

    It's fine if you can't get in touch with this kind of person, hello, they have nothing to do, they can only take advantage of their tongues and curse a few words.

    But if this kind of person is by your side, they can't wait to do everything possible to prevent you from making progress, and they can't wait to pull you down and fall into the mud and trample on them.

    In short, you live better than them, but you can't.

    Aunt Hua is such a person.

    She's happy when you're having a bad day.

    You live well, she is going to find fault.

    In the morning, took Granny Lu to the common kitchen to attack her and Liu Shi. guess heard about their fish curd selling from somewhere, and knew they made a good profit, so got jealous.

    The original body did not like Aunt Hua, and never dealt with Aunt Hua.

    Chen Nianguan is also naturally allergic to this kind of person, so he confronted Aunt Hua when he first saw her.

    Now that Aunt Hua has suddenly changed her sex, there is absolutely nothing good about it.

    Sure enough, without talking to Mrs. Liu, Aunt Hua was asking about Yufu.

    "Sister Chen San, we all live in the same courtyard, and we usually help each other, and if something goes wrong, there will be a caretaker, right?"

    "Sister Hua is right."

    "That's it. You see, I'm fine staying in the yard all day long. Seeing how hard Sister Chen San is juggling so much, I just want to help you when you're a neighbor." Aunt Hua smirked, looking like me.Very bodhisattva-hearted and kind, "When you make fish curd, I can help you. I must do whatever my sister asks me to do. Don't be polite to me."

    Chen Nianguan could hear it clearly, knew that Aunt Hua was thinking about fish rot, and seeing Liu's sullen face, but he didn't know how to refuse, so he sneered.

    For a person like Aunt Hua who knows how to take advantage of others, if she doesn't speak clearly, if she has the cheek to stick to it once, there will be a second time. It's better to speak clearly at the beginning and let her die.

    "Aunt Hua, to tell you the truth, the method of making fish rot is a secret family tradition, so it's not easy to spread it to the outside world. We appreciate your kindness." As for other things, let's do what we should do!

    Chen Nianguan put on a stinky face of not telling you that you are not welcome here, chasing customers with sharp eyes.

    Aunt Hua saw Chen Nianguan, a little girl who didn't give her face so much, she was so angry that she wanted to explode on the spot, but it looked like it was in someone else's land, and Liu Shi was still staring at it, glaring at Chen Nianguan bitterly.After one glance, he turned around and left, not forgetting to take the little thing he brought with him before leaving.

    "Tsk, rare!" Chen Nianguan curled his lips.

    "You!" Liu looked at her daughter and shook her head.

    "Auntie, did I do it wrong? Aunt Hua is clearly asking about how to make fish curd, and wants to steal our livelihood!" Chen Nianguan hugged Liu Shi, "This is the foundation of our life, ahMother, you must not say it."

    "Ma'am, do I look like someone with such soft ears?" Liu Shi also gave Chen Nianguan a reproachful look.

    After finally learning how to earn a living, seeing that life is about to get better, who would give up the roots of their livelihood?

    Thinking of the income of 150 Wen a day starting tomorrow, Mrs. Liu slept very soundly that night, dreaming about the scene of counting copper coins at the end of the month and getting up, only to realize that it was notDreaming, my hands are really soft.

    "Mother!" Chen Nianguan beside him yawned and rubbed his arm.

    Because have never done hard work such as chopping fish meat on weekdays, if get up to do such errands every day before dawn, untrained arms are overworked, soft and painful, and almost can’t lift them up.

    Although taking precautions, the mother and daughter would smear medicinal wine on their arm joints every day before going to bed, but the sequelae could not be completely eliminated.

    This is also a point of concern for Chen Nianguan.

    Seeing Liu's climbing out of bed carefully, and getting dressed a lot slower, Chen Nianguan couldn't help but ask, "Ma'am, can I do it?"

    "Okay, of course it can be done." Thinking of the copper coins that can be earned from today, Mrs. Liu thought that if she can't do it, she can do it.

    Just as the two mother and daughter were getting ready in the house, there was a strange sound of thud, thump, thump, thump, thud, thump, thud, thump, thud outside.

    Chen Nianguan and Liu Shi were so scared that they held their breath and listened.

    Could it be a thief?But have lived here for so long, and have never met a thief!

    After hearing clearly that the sound was coming from the side wall next door, Chen Nianguan changed his face, opened the door and ran out, turned to the side wall to have a look: the earthen stove that was built yesterday had already been completely dismantled, and the earthen jar andThe iron pots and so on were all overturned to the ground, and even the firewood bought back was not spared, and was scattered everywhere.

    Standing beside Chen Nianguan, Mrs. Liu clenched her fists: "Who did this?"

    Who did it?Naturally, it was done by the people in the yard who disliked their mother and daughter!

    Chen Nianguan was trembling with anger, how can a person's heart be so bad?
