I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 772: Recruited Xie Yu

Don’t empty the plate of duck slices quickly, as some people are still not satisfied and want to smash it into their mouths.

“Mom, how did you think ducks can be eaten like this?”

 “Do you like it?”

Everyone nodded. This was the first time they saw this way of eating. How could they not like it?

“From my food notes, in addition to roast duck, there is also gourd duck. Gourd duck is more difficult than roast duck, so I won’t make it. This one is relatively simple, but it is also very labor-intensive.”

It goes without saying that things are more valuable when they are scarce. Roast duck is a thing that earns money from rich people, so the price will naturally not be low.

On the second day, they set up an oven under the shed, roasted it over charcoal fire, and Xiaosi began to cook the duck.

 “I’ve been thinking about this since you started raising ducks.”

 Speaking, he let Baiyun Xi into the house and quickly went to pour water for others.

When the old lady saw Baiyun Xi, she looked stunned and said, "Sister, why did you go out in such a cold weather?"

Baiyunxi said, pointing to the two hanging next to them, which were a bit burnt.

"Godmother, why didn't you come to the county to find me? Could it be that your son has offended you?"

After paying the rent and taking the keys, Bai Yunxi and Wenyou went directly to the yard, cleaned a little, filled the tank with water, and then returned to the inn.

“Sister Hu, I’m bothering you again. I want to rent another yard. I know you have a lot of information, so I came here to ask.”

There are two thatched houses in the deepest alley of Zaoshu Hutong. Mrs. Hu and her grandson live there and make a living by renting the old yard.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Baiyun Xi, waiting for her answer.

Bai Yunxi said, looking at Xiao Si,

After settling in, Baiyunxi took Wenyou out and went to Zaoshu Alley to find Aunt Hu.

“Mom, don’t worry, I will do my best.” Xiao Si’s eyes were firm and full of motivation.

Baiyun Xi didn't care at all and took a sip. "You're welcome. Hot water will be great. Don't we just want a hot sip when we go out?"

Hearing Mrs. Hu's tone, Bai Yunxi was startled. When they moved out, the old lady said that the lessor had been found. Could it be that something went wrong again?

“It’s okay, don’t be too tired. I’ve bought all the food you’ve eaten in the past few days. Just watch and cook it.”

 Having a simple meal, it was already dusk. Except for Xiaosi who was still burning the light to prepare his things, Baiyunxi and others went to bed early.

“It’s better to come sooner than later. This time I plan to rent it for three months until after the new year.”

“This is my first time making it too. There are some areas that need improvement. Just like the first two, the baking time was a little longer and the color of the skin was a bit dark…”

 “I succeeded.” Xiao Si rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes turning red.

 There is still more than a month before the Chinese New Year. As long as the opening is successful and the first shot is fired, the New Year orders alone will be enough to make a profit.

“It’s a deal, it doesn’t matter how long you rent it, just tell the old lady in advance so that I can be prepared.”

 Two hundred five. Two hundred and thirty-four. One hundred and forty-six. Seventy-five

Just as she was about to take Wenyou out, Xie Yu came to the door with Xiaowen.

But it was not easy for her to ask. When she heard that the house was still vacant, she immediately agreed happily.

“Mom, are we going to sell one and charge more for it?”

This time, Baiyun Xi did not participate in the whole process and left all the power to him to take care of it himself.

  They brought all the necessary items, including bamboo charcoal for heating.

"I have already taught you the techniques and production methods, and the taste is okay. You need to explore the rest by yourself. You can improve the best, but you must not reduce the steps. When you become proficient, we will rent a shop in the county and specialize in roast duck. Hurry up and make a fortune before the end of the year.”

 Early the next morning, a few people packed up a change of clothes and some items needed for roast duck and daily necessities, along with a few slaughtered roast ducks, and Wenyou drove the carriage all the way to the county town.

Mrs. Hu handed over the hot water and said, "I don't have any tea at home. Please forgive me."

That person is an inquirer. Whether it is renting a yard or a shop, you will definitely get information if you ask her. Besides, when I left last time, I not only gave him a little more money, but also left some ingredients. Mrs. Hu walks around the streets every day, and she is also a show-stopper and knows what is good and what is good.

Baiyunxi sat down next to the door. The house was very dark in broad daylight, and because it was old, it smelled of moisture. It was similar to the shack they had a few years ago.

 She and Wenyou took Xiaosi and Du to the county.

After entering the county town, they stayed at the Nanshan Inn as usual. Thinking that the roast duck business would continue until the end of the year, Baiyunxi thought it would be more appropriate to rent a farmhouse.

“Tomorrow morning we will go straight to the county and find Xiaowu to rent a shop and open a roast duck restaurant.”

The old lady’s eyes lit up when she heard that the house would be rented for three months. During the Chinese New Year, many people returned to their hometowns. She didn’t expect to meet the lessor again. She considered her grandparents to be lucky and could have a good New Year.

Xiaosi was stunned and his eyes became hot. It turned out that his mother had already started planning for him. No wonder my mother looked mysterious every time he asked her, so that was it.

Bai Yunxi said, handing over a box of pastries,

"Don't bring too little snacks for Goudan." "Oh, don't worry. Sister, hurry in and warm yourself up. It's a cold day when you go out to look for the yard. You must be freezing all the way."

“Mom, I made pickled cabbage soup and steamed buns. Let’s satisfy our stomachs first and start cooking tomorrow.”

In the next few days, Xiaosi was as busy as a spinning top, constantly proficient in techniques and improving the heat. His hard work paid off, until the seventh roast duck was brought to the table, everyone finally stopped raising their opinions. He nodded with bright eyes.

Baiyunxi wiped his hands with a handkerchief and made a decision directly. According to the previous management, the house is still left to the daughter and the second child to take care of Li and the children. There is Shuren watching over the duck factory.

Du Shi wiped her hands and brought a basin of sour soup with meat slices to the table. She spent a lot of time organizing things today and was a little nervous about cooking.

At the guest room, even if you didn’t stay for a full day, you would have to pay a day’s fee. Baiyunxi didn’t care, so he checked out the guest room and moved directly into Zaoshu Hutong.

Regarding Baiyunxi's attitude, the smile on Old Mrs. Hu's face became even thicker.

“Speaking of which, we are also destined, and it’s a coincidence that you came here. The yard of my house is not rented out. If you want to rent it, you can just move in. The decorations are still the same as before.”

With Du as a diligent person in charge, Bai Yunxi took Wenyou to the street to buy vegetables. When they came back, the house was already warm.

Looking at Xie Yu who suddenly appeared, and thinking of Nanshan Inn, Baiyunxi slapped his forehead and forgot about this incident.

“You and Xiaowu are both in a critical period, preparing for next year’s exams. I came to the county to make a small fuss, what am I going to do to provoke you?”
