Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

After hearing this, Chen Aman nodded obediently. She is only a few months younger than Chen Aju, but she is much more sensible.

Chen Shi also knew about the fate that the old monk had given to Chen Afu, and saw that Chen Afu's dementia was really cured and he was very capable. He sighed, Ah Fu is lucky. My second brother and second sister-in-law will be able to enjoy the blessings in the future.

After Chen Shi and his wife put away their things, they came to the yard to chat. When a shopper shouted in the shop, Chen Shi went to sell things. After the sale, I ran to the backyard to talk.

Several people talked about Chen Ayu and Chen A's cousin. Chen Ayu had no talent in studying and could not learn well. Chen Shi meant that it would be enough to finish studying this year and follow him in business from now on. Next year when Chen Ayu turns fifteen, it's time to say goodbye. Their family is now stepping up their efforts to save money. If the marriage goes smoothly, they may get a wife the year after next. Chen Aman is also twelve years old and is planning to get married. Several family members came to propose marriage, but the conditions were not good...

As the sun set, a burst of children's noises could be heard. Mrs. Zhang said that it was time for the Zeng clan to finish school.

Their house is directly opposite the back door of the Zeng Clan Academy. Mrs. Zhang proudly said that her youngest son Chen Atang studied in this family. Because this family school is so famous, many children besides the Zeng family want to study there. If the children of outsiders want to enter, they not only have to know the people in charge of the clan school, but they also have to pass the examination, and the training is also more expensive.

Chen Afu has long heard that Chen Atang is like Chen Ming, easy to learn and somewhat talented.

He asked, It's so noisy. There are a lot of people in the clan school, right?

Chen Ming said, There are more than a hundred people. Then he said to Mrs. Zhang, Go, it's time to make dinner.

Mrs. Zhang agreed and got up and entered the kitchen with Chen Aman. Wang and Chen Afu wanted to go in to help, but Zhang pushed them out and said, You have been riding in the car for so long. You are tired. Please take a rest.

Not long after, Chen Atang came back first. He is one year younger than A Lu, has a fair face, and his facial features are more like Zhang's. After greeting everyone with a smile, he started playing with Alu, Dabao, Qiqi and Huihui.

Then Chen Ayu also came back. The private school he went to was farther away, two streets away from here. He looks more like Chen Shi, a very handsome young man. After he greeted everyone, he took the money given by Chen Shi and went to Qian Street to buy braised meat.

It can be seen that the children in Chen Shi's family are well educated.

In the evening, there were no outsiders, so both families sat at the big Eight Immortals table in the living room to eat. The vegetables were brought over by the big house, and he also fried a plate of peanuts, a dried tofu, and bought half a catty of braised pork head and half a salted duck.

Chen Shi kept serving braised pork and duck to A Lu and Dabao, and Zhang kept serving Wang and Ah Fu. Chen Atang looked at the meat and vegetables for a few times, swallowed his saliva, and didn't eat anything. Ah Shi ate more peanuts with his wine.

Wang and Chen Afu gave the meat in their bowls to Atang and Aman. They looked at their father's face before they dared to eat.

Although there were not many dishes on the table, there was constant chatter and laughter.

Chen Afu said to Chen Shi, Uncle Third, your house is next to a clan school, so you can earn money from the students. In his previous life, not only were the houses near the school expensive, but there were also many shops and hawkers specializing in earning students' money.

Chen Shi said, Opening a Wenzhai requires a lot of money, but the third uncle's family does not have that much capital.

Chen Afu smiled and said, We don't sell pens, ink washers, and inkstones. We can sell small books for food.

Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said, Those students all go through the front door. The street in front is much bigger, and there are two candy shops. Besides, the third uncle and the third aunt don't know how to make delicious food to attract them.

Chen Afu smiled and said, The food I'm talking about is different from what they sell. Seeing the embarrassed look in Chen Shi's and his wife's eyes, he added, Don't worry, it won't cost much for a small business. And you have everything you need at home. , just buy some ingredients. You can also take care of it while doing chores.

Chen Afu really wanted to help them.

Chen Shi secretly thought that once Ah Fu's mental illness is cured, the life of the second brother's family will be easier. She must be a capable person.

Then he smiled and said to Mrs. Zhang, Let's listen to Ah Fu.

Chen Afu said, Tomorrow is just to test the waters and do less. If the third uncle thinks it works, he will continue to do it. If it doesn't work, he will stop it. Then she said what she wanted Chen Shi's family to do.

Chen Shi and others are quite novel and think they should be able to make money.

After the meal, Chen Afu asked Chen Shi to find more sticks or bamboos to take home and cut into long and thin sticks. Chen Shi and Chen Ayu both suffered a lot, so they cut the sticks until midnight.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Wang accompanied Ms. Zhang to the market to buy marinade. Chen Afu asked them to go to the drug store to buy some grass fruits and tangerine peel. By adding only these two things, the taste can be different from other braised food, and it is not exactly the same as the Jiuxiang braised food at Xile Restaurant, so it does not violate the agreement. He also specifically told Chen Shi and his wife not to tell these two things, as this was a secret recipe.

At the same time, buy some inexpensive pork skin, lean meat, pork liver, pork intestine, quail eggs, and more dried tofu, bean tendons, bean skin, lotus root, and kelp.

It’s a pity that there are no potatoes in this era.

After buying the things, a few people were busy packing them out. Except for the large intestine, which takes a long time to cook, these things need to be boiled first, and other things must be braised directly in the afternoon.

After lunch, Chen Afu asked Chen Shi to take out the small stove in the penthouse and place it by the door of the shop. She had already fried the marinade in the kitchen, poured a pot of water in, and took the big iron pot outside to continue simmering, letting the aroma of the marinade spread everywhere.

I was afraid that others would see the marinade, so I wrapped it in white cloth. After about a while, put the meat, peanuts, soy products, vegetables, and quail eggs into the pot one after another.

The fragrance is also more intense.

Take the big pot and cutting board outside the shop, take the food out when it's cooked, and cut it into small pieces. Cut meat, pork liver, large intestine and other non-vegetarian vegetables into small pieces, cut vegetarian vegetables into larger pieces, and pierce several pieces with a skewer. Chen Afu was responsible for cutting, and others dressed, including Dabao. If the peanuts can't be worn, just put them on the plate.

Chen Afu calls this skewer braised skewers. The barbecue in the previous life was more complicated, so let’s do this simple one first.

Chen Aman and Dabao each tasted a bunch and both exclaimed, It smells so good.

As they cut and wore them, the scent attracted many passers-by and neighbors. What makes these people even more unexpected is that vegetarian dishes can also be braised.

Meat skewers cost four cents per skewer, and two skewers cost seven cents. A string of plain strings costs two cents, and a string of three cents costs two cents. The price is not expensive, one or two skewers will make your mouth delicious, and a few more skewers will satisfy your craving.

Living here is not a very easy life. You can eat some fragrant braised food for just a few pennies. Everyone likes it. It soon attracted several buyers, some buying one bunch and some buying two bunches. After a while, there were repeat customers, and gradually the number of people increased. Some adults are reluctant to eat it themselves, so when their children ask for it, they buy them a bunch.

Some people like the taste and just weigh it if they buy more.
