The rain did indeed get lighter on the second day, but it was still raining non-stop. Yiren didn't cook anything, but she still went to the county restaurant to deliver mountain goods. By the way, I wanted to ask how the roasted goods were doing.

In the morning, Aunt Li came over with an umbrella and picked up Xiaotuanzi. She was mainly worried that Yiren didn't have a good umbrella and Xiaotuanzi would get sick if she got wet.

Yiren followed Uncle Qing's bullock cart into the city. As soon as she arrived at Hongwu Street, she saw Chef Zhang and Chef Zhou standing at the door of Desheng Restaurant. I don't know what Chef Zhang said, but Chef Zhou rolled up his sleeves and left.

.

But he didn't go back to the restaurant, but stood on the other side of the restaurant.

Yiren looked at the two of them, one of whom was standing on one side of the restaurant, like a doorman in a modern five-star hotel. Both of them were blustering and staring, and couldn't help but laugh.

When the two heard the laughter, they turned their heads together. When they realized that the lady was coming, they both came forward to greet her.

"Yiren, have you brought the mountain goods?"

"Yiren, do you still have any stock of roasted seeds and nuts?"

The two of them spoke together.

"I asked first!" Shopkeeper Zhou spoke first.

"Then it's me who introduced this girl to you! You can't thank me for this friendship!" Chef Zhang said not to be outdone.

"Two chefs, you are standing at the door...waiting for me?" Yiren asked belatedly.

"Isn't it?" The two said in unison.

Yiren didn't understand what these two were doing. They were angry with each other early in the morning and said cautiously: "You two chefs, what... do you want from me?"

"I want roasted seeds and nuts. The sales were very good yesterday. Every time Jinbao comes home from now on, that is, every seventh day, each kind of roasted seeds and nuts costs thirty kilograms. If it's inconvenient for you, just ask Jinbao to bring them back!" Chef Zhang glanced at Yiren's shop.

Belly, said.

Thirty kilograms of each kind of roasted seeds and nuts is almost as expected by Yi Ren!

"We need mountain products every day, no less than thirty kilograms! You can't have his roasted seeds and nuts, and you can't have mine! And let me tell you, the quality must not be bad!" Chef Zhou said angrily.

Yiren now understood that these two people were afraid that she would be too busy and would send out one less product or reduce the quality!

"You two can rest assured about the quality and quantity! There is no ambiguity!" Yiren stepped forward and stood under the eaves of the restaurant to save herself from the rain. "You two, please unload this mountain goods first, and let me, the uncle, come in and sit.

?”

"Jinbao!" Chef Zhang turned around and shouted toward the restaurant. "Get someone to unload the goods!"

Jinbao came over with a few waiters and moved the local goods into the restaurant in one trip.

Because she was not sure whether it would rain tomorrow, Yiren didn't buy any meat. If it rained and she couldn't leave the stall, the meat would be spoiled.

So after settling the account, I got one hundred and fifty coins, and after drinking another cup of tea, I got on the bullock cart with Uncle Qing, and returned to the village wearing an oilcloth.

By noon, the rain gradually decreased and stopped after a while. Aunt Li led the three children to the door. Yi Ren was saying that she would go with them today when she heard a shout from the door of the courtyard: "Yiren

elder sister!"

They are Qiu's two younger brothers, San Mao and Si Mao. These two children took two penny home yesterday, but they just brought some flour, and they felt uneasy. It rained again today, and it finally stopped, so they hurriedly

Came running over.

"You two are here just in time. Let's go to the back mountain together so that I can tell you about the selection of mountain products and what to pay attention to!"

"Yiren, don't go. You're feeling heavy. It just rained and the mountain behind is muddy. Stop slipping! Just let me teach you about mountain goods. Didn't you teach me before? You take these two little ones to my house.

, and your sister-in-law Sujuan will be my companion, and I will take Cui Xi and the Qiu family boys up to the back mountain!"

Unable to resist Aunt Li, Yiren took the two oxen and the dumplings, then a basket and a lot of white flour and eggs, and headed to Aunt Li's house.

"Sister-in-law Sujuan! Auntie helped me go up the mountain behind. I'll make dinner!" Yi Ren said to Sujuan, the eldest daughter-in-law of Aunt Li who came out.

"I can do it!" Sister-in-law Sujuan looks ordinary, but has a gentle personality, and her face always gives people a shy and kind feeling. "Mom, I still bother you to run away!"

Sujuan knew that her mother-in-law could earn more than ten or twenty copper coins from Yi Ren every day, and she felt happy. It was not too late to thank Yi Ren, how could she think that her mother-in-law had left her to help Yi Ren!

"You beat me a lot more than I did! You should rest!" Yiren let the two children go to play, put down the white-flour eggs, and followed Sister-in-law Sujuan into the house. "Ah! Sister-in-law, you embroidered this?"

So beautiful!”

From the memories Yi Ren inherited from the original owner, she knew that her childhood playmate Qiu Guifen and sister-in-law Sujuan were both good at embroidery, but as a modern person, she rarely even saw machine embroidery, let alone hand embroidery.

The only machine embroidery I had ever seen was a female classmate of Yiren's when she was an undergraduate at university. She especially loved wearing Hanfu, so she only knew a little bit about it.

At this time, I saw the embroidery placed on the Kang table. Although it was an ordinary flower and bird pattern, the flowers were brightly colored and the petals had distinct patterns. The feathers of the birds were lifelike, and their wings seemed to be flapping as if they would fly at any time. The details were very detailed.

, the color matching is also very coordinated.

"What does this mean?" Sujuan blushed and was a little embarrassed by her lover's praise. "Guifen's craftsmanship is much better than mine! There is no other craftsman like her in ten miles and eight villages!"

"It's all good! I really can't learn your craftsmanship! This is handicraft work!" Yi Ren had great admiration for those craftsmen who inherited the intangible cultural heritage before Chuanshu.

"Sister-in-law Sujuan, are you embroidering a quilt cover?" Yiren took the embroidery support and looked over it repeatedly, fearing that her rough hands would scratch it, so she did not touch the embroidery surface.

"Yes, this is the magpie's announcement. A wealthy family in the county is planning to marry off his daughter, and will give the embroidery work to the embroidery workshop. I will take over the work of the embroidery workshop!" Sujuan felt relieved when she saw that her beauty did not touch the embroidery surface.

Yiren thought of all kinds of modern bags. If such a beautiful pattern was embroidered on the bag, it would really be a "cure for all diseases"! But I don't know if women of this era would like it.

Yiren looked through it for a while, then handed it back to Sujuan and went to cook. When the meal was almost done, Aunt Li came back with Cuixi and the two boys from the Qiu family.

"Sister Yiren, can you come and see me and the three children?" Si Mao shouted to Yiren. He was only seven years old and still had the heart of a child.

Yiren's food was almost done, so she followed him and walked over to look at the wild products in the basket. She saw that the wild products were not only sorted according to type, but had even been cleaned and muddy. Looking at the size and skin, it was obvious that they were also

Selected.

"San Mao Si Mao and Cui Xi are both so awesome!" Yi Ren praised. "Quickly, wash your hands and let's eat!"

Sanmao and Simao hesitated, and Aunt Li hurriedly greeted them: "Your sister Yiren brought these, not that my old lady wants to keep you to eat! Come here quickly!"

The two children then sat down. Today, Yiren made a large pot of pimple soup, using lard and eggs. She also plucked a handful of cabbages from Aunt Li's vegetable patch. They were floating green, making people look at them.

Very appetizing.

There are also garlic eggplant and loofah egg soup. The steamed eggplant is covered with a thick layer of garlic paste and chopped green onion, and the lard is heated and the aroma is fragrant. The loofah egg soup is thick, white and mellow, salty and delicious.

"Yiren, how do you make this noodle soup? It's so delicious!" Sister-in-law Sujuan couldn't help but asked curiously after taking a sip of the hot, soft and glutinous pimple soup.

"Pimple soup is made of white flour, lard and some side dishes. If sister-in-law wants to learn, I will teach you another day!" Yiren said without hiding anything.

"No, no, I'm just asking!" Sujuan knew that many of Yiren's delicacies were unique and profitable, so how could she ask for the formula?

Yiren understood Sister-in-law Sujuan's worries and explained: "It's okay, sister-in-law. This soup won't taste good if it's been left out for a long time. It has to be made while it's fresh. It tastes hot when it's hot. We can't set up a stall to sell it."

Yes, it won’t be a big deal if I teach you!”

After the meal, Yiren gave Aunt Li fifteen coppers as usual, and gave Cui Xi an additional four coppers. After some evasion, Aunt Li and Sujuan's sister-in-law let Cuixi accept it, and also gave her thirty cents and forty cents.

After giving him his wages, he took the small dumplings and thirty-four cents and a few people, some carrying baskets on their shoulders or carrying baskets, went to Yi's house at the entrance of the village.

When the two boys from the Qiu family left, Yiren warned: "Don't talk to anyone about working in my house, and don't mention anything! This way my business can last longer, and you can get more money, understand.

What!"

Sanmao nodded heavily: "Sister and mother have already told us that if we tell anyone, we will tear our mouths apart!" Sanmao made a gesture of tearing his mouth apart, making Yiren laugh.
