    In fact, Chen Nianguan had another purpose for his trip back to Funing County before the ice shop and sugar shop were completely remodeled this time.

    She wanted to take Liu Shi and Xuan Xuan to the Prefecture City when it opened, and start the opening ceremony with her.

    The ice shop is a partnership between her and Jiang Yu, and the partners of Nianyun Tangshui shop, apart from her owning 50% and Liu Yun's 20%, Liu's and Xuan Xuan's each own 15%.

    That is to say, Nianyun Tangshui Shop completely belongs to the four of them.

    As the owner of Tangshui Shop, of course he should be there when it opens.

    Mrs. Liu listened to her eldest daughter talking about buying a store in Prefecture City, building an ice cellar, and opening a shop. She heard them go to the Secret Road all night, busy for nothing, angry and laughing, and took a few copies of Nianyun from her eldest daughter.Tangshuipu's partner contract, asked her to sign and press her fingerprints as herself and on behalf of Xuan Xuan, her face moved slightly, and her eyes moistened silently.

    "Aniang, I went to the rice noodle shop to see it today."

    Now the Chenjia Pho shop is running well, and Liu He manages the whole shop in an orderly manner. No matter who the guys in the shop are, they are very hardworking and motivated.

    Liu's main management now is the receipt and delivery of sauces, as well as allocation management.

    But the sharing management can be temporarily handed over to Liu He, and the sauces are received. Well, since Zheng Erge and Zhuzi are both competent in the back kitchen, it is not impossible for Liu Shan to come over and take over for a while.

    "In this way, Ma'am, you can safely bring Xuan Xuan and me to live in Prefecture City for a period of time." Chen Nianguan told Liu Shi about his plan, "Ma'am, if you are really worried, you can buy it after the Tangshui shop opens., just go back to Funing County! How about it?"

    Mrs. Liu smiled and asked, "Then do you know that the cold hor fun noodles with scallop sauce in the store are very popular?"

    Chen Nianguan nodded.

    She has seen today that the scallop sauce jelly powder has been officially launched and has become a signature product in the store.

    "Not only that, there are many people who want to buy directly from us after tasting this sauce." Mrs. Liu said, and when the wealthy businessman Li sent someone to deliver something to Chen Nianguan, he originally ordered a new sauce.A batch of oyster sauce, after trying the scallop sauce cold noodles, I immediately placed an order to buy a batch of 100 cans of scallop sauce.

    "Spicy ones and non-spicy ones, I need 50 cans each. If the response is good, I will order it later." Liu Shi said, "There is also a merchant at the pier who has tasted this scallop sauce and wants to go directly to it.Let’s talk about business, tell me, will you sell it or not?”

    "Sell, of course." Chen Nianguan nodded excitedly, and then hurriedly asked: "Auntie, have you informed the first aunt and the fourth aunt to make this scallop sauce as soon as possible?"

    "Of course I have been notified." Mrs. Liu counted her fingers and told her about the demand side of the scallop sauce one by one: the ones used for mixing rice noodles in the main store and the ones used for retail sales, and the branch stores naturally have to keep a batch. Master ZengI ordered 50 cans, and rich businessman Li ordered 100 cans. A few days ago, several branch partners who came to pay dividends to Chen Nianguan each made several batches...

    "The order went to the fourth aunt, and the person who delivered the letter back to Liujia Village said that both the fourth aunt and the eldest aunt were overjoyed."

    "Then can they make it in time?"

    "I can make it in time, of course I can make it in time." As Liu Shi said, she stood up, turned on the lamp, and signaled with her eyes, Chen Nianguan followed her to the back of the main room and entered the small barn: Then under the dim light, he saw aNeatly packed jars of scallop sauce.

    This is a product she priced at 250 Wen a can.

    Silver, all silver!

    Chen Nianguan's eyes lit up.

    The first aunt and the fourth aunt are really capable!

    "Look, there should be five hundred cans here." Liu said proudly, "Is it enough to meet the first batch of orders?"

    Because when Chen Nianguan taught them how to make the sauce, they had the expectation of selling oyster sauce like before, so the fourth aunt and the first aunt were always ready, and usually began to contact fishermen and wharfs who could buy seashells., consciously or unconsciously taught a few trustworthy villagers to be familiar with the process.

    As soon as the order came, everyone immediately set up the stove for making oyster sauce and started to work.

    No, the first batch of 500 cans was made so quickly, and now the village is probably hurrying to make the next batch.

    When she went to Prefecture City, she had already handed over the follow-up of the sauce to Liu Shi. She didn't expect them to handle it so smoothly.

    "Aniang, you and the aunts can do a great job!"

    "That's not true! You are so capable, and it came out of my stomach. How can I lose to my daughter as a lady?" Liu said proudly.

    Chen Nianguan couldn't help but hugged Liu Shi and laughed.

    "Aniang, why don't you go to Prefecture City and see the sugar water shop opened by your capable daughter!"

    Liu Shi looked at her coquettish daughter and finally softened her heart.

    No, now the nephews are able to take charge of their own duties one after another. They can fully support the business of the rice noodle shop. In terms of sauce making, there will be no mistakes if there is a sister-in-law and four younger siblings. Take Xuan Xuan and Liu Ye to Prefecture City to seeLook, it is also a good thing to let the two girls walk out of the county to open their eyes.

    Therefore, Liu Shi finally agreed.

    The next day, Uncle Dou and the little Shuan brother who sent Si Ya over found Yanlai Lane. After Liu Shi and Chen Nianguan greeted them, they brought the recipe of sour plum soup and ten cans of scallop sauce to Dou.Brothers' shop, and then have time to go to Zhang's house next door.

    Yes, Zhang Zhai.

    This time when Chen Nianguan came back, Zhang Erlang had already moved away from Chen's house and moved to the house next door.

    In the middle of the walls of the two houses, a moon door has also been opened, and the two families can communicate with each other at any time.

    The Moon Cave Gate used to be a newly paved gravel road, along which one can walk all over the Zhang residence.

    On the side of Chen’s house, the side near the moon cave gate is the kitchen and dining room. As for the side near the main house, a small pavilion was built with stone tables and chairs inside, and planted trees around it.flowers and trees.

    In addition to the original flowers and trees in the courtyard, many green plants have also been transplanted throughout the courtyard. In front of the main house is a row of newly planted green trees.

    Because there is no land for a small warehouse at the back, the courtyard of Zhang's house is much wider than that of Chen's house, and the area of the main room and the main house are also larger.

    Zhang's house is also the same as Chen's house, with a main room and two main rooms with a side room each.

    In addition to the two wing rooms in the west wing of the Zhang residence, there are also two more inverted rooms, which are temporarily vacant because no one lives there.

    Zhang Erlang is now living in the main house, with only a manager named Qimu and a guy named Daohe pretending to be a book boy and running errands, and Liu's helped him buy it from a tooth shop, because old man XuHe had previous experience in taking care of flowers and plants, so he often let old man Xu follow Zhang Erlang, pretending to be a gardener and a coachman.

    In addition to reading and resting, Zhang Erlang used to eat with the Chen family, the Liu family and others in the past, and the servants of the Chen family were also responsible for taking care of Zhang's house. Xuan Xuan and Liu Ye even liked to run when they had time.Come over here and play.

    Zhang Erlang was the same as usual, still running between the academy and Yanlai Lane, focusing on the upcoming scientific examination.

    After all, he said in advance that if he passed the exam, he would get married, and the date of marriage was also set on September 12th, which happened to be not long after the announcement of the Qiuwei Guibang, so he couldn't do it if he didn't work hard.

    However, even if he is dedicated to studying, after hearing that the Liu family will go to Fu????? City with Chen Nianguan in two days, Zhang Erlang is still a little injured.

    Doesn't this leave him alone in the house?

    But he didn't want Chen Nianguan to be embarrassed, and he didn't want Chen Nianguan to feel that he couldn't do it alone, so Zhang Erlang still nodded and smiled.

    The June exam will be here soon, and then he will also go to Prefecture City.

    The day when can see her will come soon.

    After explaining to Zhang Erlang, Chen Nianguan went to the noodle shop to teach Liu Shan and others how to make honeysuckle tea and sour plum soup.

    Since Liu Yuntiao came to Prefecture City, now the main kitchen staff in the main store are mainly Liu Shan, Zheng Erge and Zhu Zi, which can be regarded as a very stable kitchen team.

    Second Brother Zheng was recruited by Liu Shan from the beginning, he is from the cousin's natal family. With experience in this field, he is naturally good at cooking.

    As for Shuanzi, he is also from Liujia Village, he is very dutiful and diligent, that's why he was audited by Liu He and Liu Shan and put in the back kitchen.

    When Chen Nianguan went to the backyard of the store, he happened to meet Brother Jian who came back from purchasing. As soon as he saw her, Brother Jian smiled brightly: "Hey, Master Chen is here!"

    Chen Nianguan nodded.

    She has always liked capable migrant workers, so she took out the raw materials for making honeysuckle tea and sour plum soup, and handed them to Brother Jian, "Brother Jian, please make another trip and buy all the above things."

    "this is?"

    "New products in our store!"

    "Alright, I'll go right away after unloading the donkey cart."

    Chen Nianguan nodded, and after he taught Liu Shan and the others how to make it, the main store soon began to give away the first cup of iced sour plum soup for free, which bought the hearts of many diners.

    Especially brother Jian, when he is busy outside in hot weather, he brings a pot of sour plum soup with him, and takes a sip when he gets thirsty, ah, it is like drinking nectar!

    After the main affairs were ready, Chen Nianguan began to count the things to be brought to Prefecture City after instructing Liu He and Liu Shan respectively:

    I want to send a batch of oyster sauce to the West Store, and have it.

    I also have a batch of scallop sauce for the West Store.

    I have a batch of jerky in sauce for the West Store.

    Also, uh-huh, master Li sent someone to send over fifty catties of saltpeter in batches, which is amazing.

    ...

    As for the people who want to take to the Prefecture City, I, Xiao You, Si Ya, two big beasts, A Niang has Xuan Xuan, Liu Ye and Xiaoyu, and two guards.

    From this point of view, only one donkey cart may not be enough.

    Then rent a carriage!

    After making such a decision, Chen Nianguan grinned and went to look for Mrs. Liu, but Mrs. Liu reached out and handed a jar of red lumps to her: "We're going to the Prefecture City, so what should we do with this? Don't you plan to use it to make money too?"of?"

    Chen Nianguan took a closer look, ah, it's Nanru!

    Ever since making zongzi, Chen Nianguan found out that this sauce was missing. Chen Nianwan bought a few pieces of tofu and bought red yeast rice at the pharmacy. Oh, this time it is called Danqu, and it is marinated with cooking wine, sugar and other ingredients.Put it in a small warehouse at low temperature and try to ferment.

    After that, went to Liujia Village to solve the oyster sauce problem. Before went back to Prefecture City, saw the first batch made, but it failed. So made a few more cans before left. Now almost forgot about it.

    Nanru is also a kind of fermented bean curd, but the method is different. From a professional point of view, fermented bean curd belongs to white recipes, while fermented bean curd belongs to red recipes.

    Ordinary fermented bean curd is white and can be used to mix noodles with rice at any time; while fermented bean curd is red because it uses Danqu, it is generally used as an ingredient in dishes and snacks, and cannot be eaten directly.

    Fermented bean curd is put in low temperature after the tofu embryo is formed, and then it is moldy and covered with mycelia, and then it is marinated in salt. In addition to salt, other fermented bean curds, including red yeast rice, are also added.Several toppings.

    The taste of fermented bean curd is only salty, while Nanru is richer than fermented bean curd, salty and sweet, and has a stronger aroma.

    Chen Nianguan looked at the red lumps of southern milk, it seemed that it had been fermented successfully, but how would it taste?I found a pair of chopsticks and tasted them, my almond eyes were bent, Nais, it was a success.

    Then sweetly said to Liu Shi: "Aniang, today I will use this milk to make something delicious."

    After Chen Nianguan was in the kitchen, Xuan Xuan and Liu Ye knew there was something delicious, so they all ran to the kitchen and rushed to help her.

    Find a few pieces of tenderloin among the meat refrigerated in the small warehouse, put them on the cutting board after thawing for a while, and cut them into thin slices with a knife.

    Cut the green onions that Xuan Xuan and Liu Ye helped to choose and clean into small pieces, mince the garlic cloves into a puree, then mix them with salt, oyster sauce, and some minced peppercorns.

    Take out a few pieces of southern milk, crush them with a spoon, pour some of the juice inside, mix well with the previously prepared ingredients, pour it on the sliced meat, mix well and marinate,

    The next step is to prepare corn flour, crack an egg, pour a spoonful of soybean oil, add an appropriate amount of water and stir it into a paste, then pour it on the marinated meat slices, so that the meat slices are evenly stained with batter,

    After the preparatory work is ready, start the pan, put the oil and heat it up, put the batter-wrapped meat slices into the oil pan one by one, and wait until it is golden red and golden red, and the crispy pork is ready.

    This small crispy meat is golden red and golden red. The color is so outstanding, naturally it is because of the redness of the milk!

    This snack is crispy on the outside, but the meat inside is delicious. In his last life, Chen Nianguan often made this snack at home. It can completely replace the fried chicken nuggets and chicken popcorn at X Arch!

    Divided some for Si Ya, Aunt Lian and others, and left a bowl for Zhang Erlang. Chen Nianwan took a large bowl full of small crispy meat, went to the pavilion of Zhang's next door, and brought a pot of iced meat.Sour plum soup, eating crispy meat while drinking cold drinks, that feeling is simply enjoyable!

    Eating small crispy meat with Liu Shixuanxuan and Liu Ye, Chen Nianguan has already flashed countless delicacies that can be made with southern milk: fried fish with green onion in southern milk, stewed pig's trotters in southern milk, arhat in southern milkZhai, crispy roast chicken with southern milk...

    Yay!

    Listen, who is the glutton screaming in his stomach?

    So Chen Nianguan decided to bring this jar of southern milk to Prefecture City.

    The next day, a carriage and a donkey cart set off from Chen's house in Yanlai Lane and headed directly to Prefecture City.

    In the carriage in front were Liu Shi, Xuan Xuan, Liu Ye and Xiaoyu, followed by two guards, while Chen Nianguan was sitting on the shaft of the donkey cart behind, Xiao You was driving the cart, Si Ya was sitting next to her, the donkey cartOn both sides are Liuhu and Liubao.

    There is no way, the donkey cart is full of important supplies, and she doesn't feel at ease if she doesn't take care of it herself.

    It was Si Ya's first job, and she seemed very excited.

    Before she came to Funing County, her cousins told her that Master Chen didn't dislike her for being young, nor did she dislike her big appetite, and was willing to give her a chance to be a guard.Well done.

    So Si Ya has always wanted to find an opportunity to perform and show her abilities.

    It's a pity that along the way, the water is still and the river is flying, and there is no movement. When she was in the escort agency, she heard from other escorts that she encountered robbers, villains, etc. on the way, and the danger of the escort team heroically killing the enemy isNot a single trace appeared.

    Halfway through the journey, Si Ya was very disappointed.

    "Boss, why haven't we met robbers? Don't you have bandits here?"

    The corner of Chen Nianguan's mouth twitched.

    Please, she hired guards just in case, who wants to encounter bandits and robbers wherever they go out?It's a good thing if these bad things don't happen, why Si Ya still expects them to happen?

    Si Ya was also very wronged.

    She just came here because she wanted to show off her skills. She thought that Master Chen was in a dangerous situation and would encounter crises all the time, so she could finally use her skills. In the end, that's it?

    At that time, Si Ya didn't want to do it anymore. How is this different from being a slave for others?

    Si Ya agrees that you are the boss, that you are obedient and do not cause trouble, but if you don't agree with it, you have an attitude of "who are you", and the stubborn eight cows will not be able to pull back.

    "Of course it's different." After understanding Si Ya's thoughts, Chen Nianguan patiently explained to her. In the end, seeing that Si Ya looked a bit recalcitrant, he also had a headache.

    "Well, you've come here, and I don't feel at ease just returning to your hometown county like this. I'll send a letter to your cousin. When they come to pick you up in person or send someone, you can go back.OK?"

    Si Ya is still hesitating, Chen Nianguan is afraid that she will leave Uncle Dou and brother on the way as if she came to Funing County, and she can't afford it if something happens.

    "I heard from your cousins that your family was poor and you ate a lot, so they sent you to the escort agency when you were young. Now your family is short of money, right?" Chen Nianguan could onlylure.

    Si Ya is the fourth child in the family. She is only twelve years old this year. Not to mention many brothers and sisters, heard that there are several younger children waiting to be fed.

    At the beginning when the Dou brothers changed their faces to make a living with rice noodles and didn’t stay in the escort agency, Siya’s parents were afraid that their first business would not be reliable, so they insisted on letting the young Si Ya stay alone in the escort agency, just for the one hundredWen's Yuefeng.

    "You haven't earned any money as a guard for me, so if you go back empty-handed, isn't that a waste of time?"

    "Then tell me, what should I do?"

    "At least you stay for a month. You don't have anything else to do. Just follow me. Wherever I go, you go wherever I go. If I am in danger, you take action. If you have nothing to do, stay there. I will give you five taels of silver and wait for a month.Rear……"

    "Five taels of silver?" Si Ya's tone changed.

    Hey boy, can you earn five taels of silver a month as Master Chen's guard?

    Si Ya's eyes were burning brightly, staring at Chen Nianwan almost to burn.

    How much does it cost her to work in the escort agency for a month?It's only a hundred pennies, this Master Chen is so rich, and he pays five taels of silver when he makes a move?

    She, she is so big, she has never touched a tael of silver!

    No wonder the cousins want to do business with Master Chen.

    "I, I, I, I'll be with you for a month." Si Ya immediately changed her words and patted her chest, "Master Chen, if you have any orders, just tell me."

    "Okay." Chen Nianguan heaved a sigh of relief, and finally he was able to keep the person temporarily??????

    Si Ya suddenly became happy and stopped complaining, sitting quietly beside Chen Nianguan, her legs dangling.

    Xiao You, who was driving the car, glanced back at Si Ya, and then at Chen Nianguan, with resentful eyes.

    Chen Nianguan met his gaze, and she immediately understood what had been a laborer.

    Ah, Si Ya and Xiao You are both guards, and they both get the same money!

    But one is willing to work, and the other is willing to work hard.

    One newcomer and one senior, they have the same monthly salary?

    Chen Nianguan seemed to hear the resentment of the former workers, and smiled and mouthed to Xiao You: "Go back and add money to you."

    Xiao You seemed to understand, nodded slightly, then turned around and continued driving the donkey.

    Soon, they arrived at the gate of the Prefecture City, and then entered the Prefecture City.

    Like the first time Chen Nianguan came to Prefecture City, he made a hick "wow", then Xuan Xuan, Liu Ye, and Si Ya were all the same as she used to be, looking at the pavilions, staring at the pavilions, they all let out a "wow""!"

    "Sister, it's so big here." Xuan Xuan and Liu Ye both came to Prefecture City for the first time, their faces flushed with excitement.

    "Hmmmmmmmmmm, when we're settled down, let's ask Brother Liu Feng to take you around the city, okay?" Chen Nianwan said to the little girls like this, showing that he had seen the world calmly.

    Xuanxuan, Liu Ye, and Si Ya all nodded repeatedly.

    Although Si Ya is longing for a career as a bodyguard, she has never been to a bodyguard, nor has she been to a bustling place like Prefecture City, so she was lost for a while.

    With so many people coming at once, living is a problem.

    Fortunately, Chen Nianguan was usually cleaning up the main house on Five Willow Lane, and Carpenter He and Wang De also rebuilt the backyard first, so the backyard of the shop is actually liveable.

    So Chen Nianguan asked the two guards who couldn't live in Liuhua Lane to live on the other side of Five Willow Lane first, and let the two beasts take them there, and remove the fifty catties of saltpeter by the way.

    With so many people, it's impossible for all of them to rush into the store, hindering the business, so greeted little uncle and second aunt, and everyone went back to Liuhua Lane.

    Although she just glanced outside, Xuan Xuan was still very excited: "Mother, sister, that's the rice noodle shop opened by our family!"

    "Yes, our family opened it." Chen Nianguan looked at this small shop.

    It's not easy to be a partner of two, no, three shops at a young age.

    "Well, that store is bigger than the ones in our county, sister, you are amazing." Xuan Xuan looked at Chen Nianguan adoringly.

    Chen Nianguan's small chest puffed up: "That's it, am I your sister? Of course it's amazing."

    Xuan Xuan covered her small face and laughed.

    "Ming'er, my sister will take you to see something even more powerful."

    Xuan Xuan nodded, looking forward to it.

    Liu Ye was extremely envious, and looked at Chen Nianguan with red eyes.

    She also wanted such a powerful sister.

    Liu Shi looked at her two daughters, one big and one small, with a smile.

    It wasn't the first time she came to Prefecture City, but it had been a long time since the last time she came to Prefecture City.

    Before the eldest daughter was born, she came with her husband when he came to Prefecture City to rush for the exam.

    The shop in Prefecture City started from renting a shop, and heard family Wan Wan keep mentioning it. watched the Pho shop in Funing County open with own eyes. Wan Wan came to Prefecture City to do it by himself.She remembered many details of the sudden reduction!

    Now seeing the branch opened by her daughter with her own eyes, Mrs. Liu only feels honored.

    This girl clearly said that she came to Prefecture City to open an ice shop, but she turned around and told her that she also opened a sugar water shop. She couldn't stop, and the money on hand must have been spent again, right?
