    I have to say that it is good to have someone to help. Usually Liu and Chen Nianguan take at least an hour to prepare the ingredients, and they clean up in half an hour.

    In the kitchen, Chen Nianguan had already cooked rice on the earthen stove in the courtyard, and returned to the kitchen to put the bones into the earthen pot to cook soup with Chinese cabbage.

    For hard dishes, Chen Nianguan is going to make Braised Chicken with Shiitake Mushrooms.

    So when she was processing the ingredients outside, she prepared the ingredients. After Mrs. Liu picked up the two chickens, she cut them into pieces, marinated them with salt, soybean paste and green onions, and asked Mrs. Liu to chop the mushroomsWhen the pieces are in the pot, heat the oil in a large pot, put the sauce into the chicken pieces, and then add the shiitake mushroom pieces and stir fry. After the chicken pieces change color, add the water submerged in the chicken pieces, add spices, salt,Bring to a boil.

    The aroma soon permeated the kitchen. Liu Chi and Liuhe, who were helping to watch the fire in the courtyard, swallowed after smelling the fragrance, and even Zhang Yulang, who was copying books in the west chamber, couldn't help but look into the courtyard again and again., absent-minded.

    Chen Nianwan asked Liu Ye to turn the firewood down, and after it started to simmer slowly, he uncovered the lid and put some spicy and other spices to process the zucchini.

    Tonight's vegetarian dish is zucchini scrambled eggs.

    So prepare the ingredients first, first beat the egg liquid, then prepare ginger, onion, garlic, oil, salt, sugar and sesame oil, etc., then cut the zucchini slices, add an appropriate amount of soybean oil and mix well.

    After the stewed chicken with citrus mushrooms is ready, remove the whole cauldron, fry the egg liquid with the hot oil in the wok used for rice noodles, leave the oil in the pan, pour in the ginger, onion and garlic until fragrant, add the zucchini slices, add salt and sugar to adjust the taste, then add eggs and stir fry evenly before serving.

    Once the dish is cooked, it is ready to serve.

    Due to the large number of people, we put it in the courtyard, the square table, and then take out the rectangular table from the stall.

    The clay stove was turned off early, leaving charcoal fire to warm the rice, a crock pot of steaming hot soup was placed on the square table, stewed chicken with mushrooms and scrambled eggs with zucchini were placed on the rectangular table.

    Before eating, each person drinks a bowl of hot soup.

    After eating the fragrant and thick broth, the whole person is warm and comfortable, dispelling the chill.

    When it was time to start the meal, Zucchini Scrambled Eggs were neglected. Except for Chen Nianguan, everyone went for the stewed chicken with mushrooms.

    Although Chen Nianguan had estimated the food intake of the three cousins before cooking, now he watched the three young men feasting on the food, and took a spoon to scoop chicken and shiitake mushrooms into the pot from time to time, eating so much that he couldn’t even lift his head.The rice in the crock dropped layer by layer quickly, and I knew that I still underestimated their appetite.

    They are still teenagers, how can they not have a big appetite when they are still growing up?

    Seeing how her nephews were eating, Mrs. Liu thought to herself that fortunately there was a lot of rice today, so even if they let their stomachs eat, it would be enough.

    Chen Nianguan looked at Zhang Yulang who was sitting beside him.

    No matter how bold and unrestrained the cousins were, they remained unmoved. They quietly ate with their bowls in their hands, and their gestures were elegant, which was very pleasing to the eye.

    In fact, Zhang Yulang also wanted to be as reckless as the guys from the Liu family, because the stewed chicken with mushrooms was really delicious.

    Not to mention the spicy and tender chicken, the mushrooms are cooked soft and rotten, full of strong chicken and spicy flavors, sweet and spicy in the mouth, which makes people want to stop after touching their index fingers.

    In the end, the full pot of stewed chicken with mushrooms was finished, and the sauce was wiped clean.

    The broth was the same, even the dregs of the soup were gone, and there was not even a bit of meat foam left on the bones.

    As for the scrambled eggs with zucchini, it was Chen Nianguan, Mrs. Liu and Zhang Yulang who ate it together.

    Liu's cousins still couldn't get enough, licking the corners of their mouths and said, "Cousin/cousin, when did your cooking become so good? We don't even know!"

    "Hey, I was originally talented, and later I was taught by an expert, so my cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds, as you can see now, real ingredients!" Chen Nianguan finished speaking without changing his expression, lookingLooking at Liu Shi, she said, "Aniang, do you think so?"

    "That's right, your cousin is usually very good at cooking, it's just that she was not able to cook before." Liu Shi nodded, helping her daughter.

    "It's no wonder my cousin's hor fun can be made. If the taste is as good as the dishes here, how can anyone not like it?" Liu Chi was very moved when he said this.

    Chen Nianguan and Liu Shi looked at each other, and smiled knowingly.

    On the second day, Zhang Yulang and Xuan Xuan stayed at home with Liu Ye, while the three Liu brothers followed Chen Nianguan and Liu to the pier in a donkey cart.

    A day later, the Chen family's pho stall was amazing.

    The three Liu brothers were shocked when they saw the full line.

    Before leaving the stall, Chen Nianguan thought it was troublesome to eat rice noodles. Instead of fried rice noodles, the three brothers ate soup rice noodles. They already thought it was delicious. Seeing the diners who came over on the spot, as well as the cousin/cousin who hooked the fire, which attracted the exclamation of many diners, and also made them lose their color and shouted.

    Because there are three brothers helping today, and it is estimated that the stall will not open for a day, it may attract more diners today, so brought 50 more servings of rice noodles than usual.All sold out.

    The three brothers of the Liu family who have been squatting by the side to watch, have automatically and consciously recruited guests, helped tidy up the tables and chairs, packed the dishes and washed them at the back of the donkey cart, and now when they helped put the cart and tables into the donkey cart, they finally couldn't bear it.Zhu said to Liu Shi: "Auntie, we want to follow you to do this."

    "Yes, aunt, we also want to learn fried rice noodles." Liu He said, and couldn't help but glance at Chen Nianwan, "cousin, teach me!"

    Chen Nianguan smiled: "Let's talk later."

    Back to Yanlai Lane, the first thing you do when you enter the door is to count the copper coins.

    In order to try their best to convince Liu's cousins that this business is worthwhile, Chen Nianguan and Liu didn't hide it from them. They gathered around the table in the main room and asked them to help separate the fifty copper coins.

    Chen Nianguan and the Liu family naturally knew about today's revenue, but they just deliberately let the Liu brothers count the copper coins for fun, and by the way shocked them, making them realize that following them in this business is a profitable way.

    In this way, it will be much smoother to discuss employment cooperation with them.

    Sure enough, after counting today's income totaling two to eight hundred wen, the three Liu brothers were stunned, and it took a long time to come back to their senses: "Auntie, how much money is this pho?"

    "Ah, but today is an exception. It is only because of your help that I earn so much. In addition, the cost, labor cost, and booth fee have not been deducted here, but there is a net profit of two taels of silver. This jobIt's hard work."

    "We are not afraid of hard work, aunt, cousin, tell me, how do we work?" Liu He asked directly.

    The fourth room of the Liu family, the eldest uncle Liu's family and the fourth uncle Liu's family needless to say, the parents are still alive, and the aunt of the second uncle Liu's family is also there, so there is still a backbone, and Liu Chi has an older brother who is said to be a piece of material for studying, the second room has something to look forward to, but Sanjiu Liu's family, the father is gone, and the third aunt had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to her third child.It's like losing the backbone.

    Twelve-year-old Liu He is the eldest child in the Sanfang family, and takes up the burden of the eldest brother to look after a younger brother and a younger sister.

    Fortunately, Liu's family is considered to have an upright family style, and now relying on the help of the elders, they are able to get by. Liu He is also sensible, and he knows how to make a living with Liu Chi at a young age.

    "Cousin, I ask you to be my teacher, you can teach me my unique skills!" Liu He is young, but he is smart. At the booth today, he saw that Chen Nianguan's hot performance was the one that attracted the customers, so he immediately caught him.Stay focused and go straight to the point.

    Chen Nianwan smiled.

    With the arrival of three helpers, her life will finally be easier in the future.

    Immediately set the employment conditions for three months during the slack period, including food and lodging, and after being proficient at the stall, the person who sells the stall will receive 200 Wen per day, and the person who prepares the rice noodles and ingredients and stays at home will receive 100 Wen per day.At the end of the month, depending on the performance, another copper coin will be rewarded.

    But because there are three people, there is only one stall quota, and they can only take turns every day.

    The three brothers of the Liu family didn't think it was too little because they earned two taels of silver a day and their wages were only two hundred wen, but were shocked by the amount of two hundred wen.

    It's not that they didn't go to the county town to find work during their slack, but it was usually manual work. The highest wage, Liu Chi, was only paid twenty-five cents a day, and now the minimum wage is a full fourtimes.

    If each person works ten days a month, he can earn one or two taels of silver. Such a good job cannot be found even with lanterns.

    All three of them were knocked unconscious by the dizzy big pie, and it took a long time to recover, swallowed, and rubbed their hands in unison nervously, "Auntie, no, cousin/cousin, give us such a high-quality car."Salary, isn't it good?"

    One day after setting up the stall, they discovered that the aunt's house was run by a cousin/cousin.

    "What if we screw up?"

    "It's okay, I will take your aunt with me, so we won't mess it up." Chen Nianguan saw that they were not dissatisfied because they made more profits and less wages.If you are tired, you must be able to endure hardship."

    In fact, she paid according to the monthly payment of the head chef and sous chef of the restaurant, and for the sake of relatives, the daily profit of pho is deducting their wages, and there is almost two taels of profit, let alone them.After adding in, this profit will further increase.

    You also have to consider that after your own business grows bigger, you will continue to hire cousins to start a business together. How can you not get enough sweetness from the beginning?

    In the future, drawing big cakes is to make them believe, and we must also pay attention to a little reality.

    The high salary is the sincerity she shows, and it is also the temptation for them.

    "Don't worry, cousin/cousin, we can endure hardship!"

    Chen Nianguan nodded. After all, it was her family, she didn't miss it.

    Therefore, Chen Nianguan arranged for the Liu family to conduct pre-job training for the three Liu family brothers immediately, while she went to Zhang Yulang to draft the employment contract for Liu's cousins.

    When they arrived in the west chamber, they found Zhang Yulang sitting on the bed, holding Xuan Xuan in his arms, with Liu Ye lying next to him, and the two little girls were watching him write.

    "What are you doing?"

    "Sister, big brother is teaching me how to read."

    "That's right, sister, this brother is amazing and knows a lot of words."

    Seeing Chen Nianwan coming in, the two little girls hurriedly climbed down from the couch, while Xuanxuan said to Zhang Yulang without moving her buttocks, "Brother, continue to teach me!"

    Seeing Xuan Xuan's look of seeking knowledge, Chen Nianguan realized, yes, Xuan Xuan is almost six years old.

    Six years old, in the modern age she lives, it should be the age to go to school.

    Chen Ming did not despise her because she was originally a daughter, and taught her to read one after another when she was four years old. When Xuan Xuan was four years old, Chen Ming passed away, and the family was poor, so she forgot to teach Xuan Xuan how to read.

    Children in this era usually seem to be six years old when Kai Meng is born, fortunately it is not too late.

    There happened to be a good candidate in front of me. Then, Zhang Yulang is a guy hired by the family. Can he teach Xuan Xuan?

    Chen Nianguan watched Zhang Yulang ask Xuan Xuan to go out to play, and came back after a while before looking at her: "Miss Chen?"

    "That's right, I want you to do me a favor by drafting six employment contracts for me." Chen Nianguan said.

    The trick is to use it at this time.

    Zhang Yulang listened to Chen Nianguan's explanation of the purpose of coming, and she said the terms and conditions. When he silently wrote it down, he suddenly asked: "One person will take turns to open the stall once every three days?"

    Chen Nianguan looked at him, not believing that he had a better way to deal with the three guys.

    "I think the rice noodles are doing a good job, maybe we shouldn't stick to selling them in one place." Zhang Yulang said, "Since there are enough people now, why don't you consider opening another stall?"

    Chen Nianguan's eyes widened slightly.

    "You know, you now rely on the flow of people coming and going from the wharf to set up your stall. However, in winter, when the river freezes, the boats will enter the winter break.Business, naturally there is no way to maintain a living."

    Zhang Yulang said, "It's mid-September, and there are still about two months before the pier will be shut down. Ms. Chen doesn't want to rely on this time to open an additional booth, and make good use of the regular customers at the pier to attract traffic or promote word of mouth to accumulate popularity?"

    One word awakens the dreamer.

    The author has something to say:

    The next chapter is V!

    Thank you cuties for being so generous to me, and the cuties who silently supported me, I am really grateful, I will continue to work hard!!

    Preorder "The Orion and His Lady"

    The boss of the last days, Han Mu, was stabbed in the back and killed, and once passed through the body of a daughter of a family surnamed Han.

    Han Mu cherishes the hard-won stability and peace, and just wants to enjoy the prosperity and wealth, and live a leisurely life.

    As for the fact that the original owner couldn't see her cousin robbing her good marriage and throwing herself into the river angrily, it didn't exist for her.

    Marriage will only hinder her peaceful life, wouldn't it be nice to be a single nobleman?

    What kind of man or marriage, whoever loves it, takes it, she doesn't care at all!

    It's a pity that the court was chaotic and the war broke out. The Han family fell apart, and Han Mu and his family left their hometown and became homeless.

    A dude Yutuanzi brother was left by his side, but he settled down in a mountain village in desperation.

    Boss Han Mu had to fight again, planning to save some money, build a small house, and then continue to lie flat!

    Utilizing the skills of survival in the last days and showing the quality of a qualified hunter, Mr. Han took Yutuanzi to roam the mountains and forests all day long.

    Catching rabbits, hunting wild boars, hunting foxes, and hunting roe deer, don’t think about anything other than eating meat every day.

    But the days passed without her knowing it!

    —————

    Cheng Yingying was reborn.

    In her previous life, she had a hard time fleeing and died in poverty. In this life, she didn't want to follow in the footsteps of her previous life and stole her cousin Han Mu's marriage.

    Because she knew that her cousin-in-law in her previous life was the founding minister of the new dynasty and would be a first-rank official in the future.

    Unexpectedly, Han Mu would seek his own death because of this, and after being rescued, he would not fight or grab?????, and would not be angry or complain.

    Cheng Yingying felt no guilt in her heart, and became a beautiful official wife.

    N years later, Cheng Yingying was busy fighting for pets in the backyard. When she was devastated, she had to help her husband find a future.

    Physically and mentally exhausted, the description is dry, and people are getting more and more haggard day by day.

    Looking at Cousin Han Mu again, not only is she living a good life, but she is also radiant and carefree!

    In this regard, Han Mu just lay lazily on the fox fur couch, sipped some side dishes and wine, and said happily: Everyone lives in peace!

    Then take my younger brother to continue to watch the spring blossoms and autumn fruits, and enjoy the summer lotus and winter snow!

    Leisurely salted fish life, you are worth having!
