A small peasant girl's home is bare, but I have a spiritual space

Chapter 57 Discussing Tea Business with Shopkeeper Cheng

At dawn the next day, Lin Yiran was awakened by the alarm clock. She opened her eyes and saw that it was five o'clock in the morning. She quickly got up and dressed. She was going to make wontons for everyone to taste this morning.

After Lin Yiran got up, she simply cleaned up the fruit peels and plastic packaging bags left over by the little idiots yesterday. She saw a bag of dog food biscuits dropped on the ground, so she bent down to pick it up and put it on the table.

Suddenly remembering that the mother and cub fox had not eaten yet, he took two bags of dog food biscuits to the woodshed.

It was quite dark outside at this time and the courtyard was silent. Lin Yiran opened the door of the woodshed and saw a big and a small cat snuggling together, looking at her excitedly with their narrow fox eyes. Their owner had finally come to see them.

Hongyu happily circled around Lin Yiran, and when she saw the bag in her hand, she asked curiously, "Master, what are you holding?"

"It's dog food biscuits. Bring them here for you to try. These biscuits are delicious and have meat in them."

When Hongyu heard that there was meat inside, she was immediately delighted.

Lin Yiran tore a hole in the packaging bag with his hands and poured one third of the biscuits into their food bowls.

"Okay, you two have a try. These two bags of dog food biscuits are enough for you to eat for three days. Lieyan, keep an eye on Hongyu. Don't eat too many of these biscuits, or you'll have a stomachache."

Lieyan nodded, "Okay, Master, I'll remember it."

Lin Yiran smiled and patted its head. "You are so good. I am sorry for both of you two. I will scoop some water for you to drink later. You can come out after the guests leave."

Lieyan and Hongyu nodded their heads obediently, "We are not wronged, we are living happily every day now. It is our greatest blessing to meet the master in this life."

Lin Yiran looked at the two animals, one big and one small, with a smile on her face. "That's good. I'll go cook first. When I'm done, leave a few for you to try."

"Thank you, master," Hongyu and Lieyan hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

After watching their owner walk out of the woodshed, the two cats, one big and one small, began to eat the dog food biscuits in the bowl.

"Mom, this cookie is so delicious!" Hongyu was so busy eating that she didn't even bother to raise her head. The cookie in her mouth was crunchy from her bite.

Lieyan also agreed that this dog food biscuit was indeed delicious.

at the same time.

Lin was still busy in the kitchen in an orderly manner. She first kneaded the dough into a smooth ball and put it aside to wake up.

Take out another piece of pork belly, cut it into pieces, chop it into minced meat, soak the chopped ginger, green onion and a pinch of peppercorns in clean water for a while, filter out the seasoning water and set aside.

Beat an egg into the minced meat, then slowly add the filtered onion and ginger water into the minced meat three times, stirring evenly in a clockwise direction.

Thinking of Liu Yu’s injuries, he added a little spiritual spring water to the meat filling.

By the time Lin's mother got up and went to the kitchen to cook, Lin Yiran had almost finished wrapping the wontons.

When Lin's mother saw her daughter got up early and had almost finished cooking, she felt distressed and hurried forward to help.

"Mom, I'm almost done wrapping it. You can help light the fire and cut a plate of braised beef."

Lin Yiran knew what her mother was thinking just by looking at her expression. If she wasn't given some work to do, she would definitely be sad.

"Hey, Mom will go to light the fire right away." Upon hearing the voice, Lin's mother hurried to the woodshed, tied a bundle of firewood, and ran back to the kitchen.

After the mother and daughter finished cooking, the family members got up one after another.

Lin Yiran placed a large bowl of wontons in the middle of the table. Manager Cheng helped Liu Yu sit next to the table. Lin Yiran deliberately observed Liu Yu's expression.

There was a hint of blush in his cold white skin. After a night's rest, his mental state was much better and he was more eye-catching.

I sighed in my heart, this person is really a favorite of God, his skin is the cold white skin that I have longed for.

Yesterday I thought his face was so pale because he lost too much blood, but I didn’t expect it was congenital.

Tsk tsk, I wonder how brilliant his parents must be to give birth to such a son.

"Brother Yuhua, did you sleep well last night?" Lin Yiran asked with a smile.

"Very good, thank you sister Raner for your concern." Liu Yu replied seriously.

Shopkeeper Cheng standing by: ...

"You slept well, but I'm still sleepy," Shopkeeper Cheng felt his scalp tingling when he thought about last night.

I had been planning to sit on a small stool all night, but for some reason my master let me sleep in the same bed with him yesterday, which was unprecedented.

The two of them were squeezed into one bed and everything was fine at first, but in the middle of the night the master kicked him off.

His old waist is still aching a little!

Lin Yiran took another look at the two conspicuous big bags under the eyes of Shopkeeper Cheng.

Shopkeeper Cheng didn't sleep well! Lin Yiran thought that there was only one bed in the main room, and it was still a bit crowded for two grown men to sleep on it.

She felt guilty. Her family was in such a poor condition. There was nothing she could do. She could just wait until their new house was built.

"You're welcome, Brother Yuhua, Uncle Cheng, you guys can try the wontons I made later."

Lin Yiran quickly changed the subject.

Only then did Manager Cheng notice the pot of steaming food that Ran Yatou brought over, which looked like dumplings yet not like dumplings.

"Ran girl, is this another food you developed?" asked Manager Cheng with shining eyes.

“Well, it wasn’t really my idea, it was something my mother and I came up with together.

Uncle Cheng, you also know the situation in my family. It is not easy to eat dumplings. I just want to put less meat filling so that I can make one more dumpling and just taste it.

I think you two don’t lack meat for daily life, so I thought of making wontons for you to taste. Although the wonton filling is a little less, I rolled the skin very thin.

I added some small shrimps to the soup and it tasted very fresh.”

Liu Yu looked at Lin Yiran with admiration in his eyes. He had heard from Old Cheng yesterday that the thing called soap that Old Cheng asked him to pass on to his mother was invented by the little girl in front of him.

He remembered the surprised and touched expression on his mother's face when she saw the soap. She even praised him for being filial. No matter how many pearls, jade, and gold jewelry he had given to his mother before, he had never seen her praise him like this.

This little girl is amazing. Not only can she invent soap, but she can also make such delicious meals. Even the tea I drank yesterday...

Recalling the taste of those cups of tea last night, Liu Yu didn't dare to think about it any further.

If even the tea was made by her, then how amazingly talented she must be.

Where in the world can you find such a woman?

Liu Yu didn't know what words to use to describe her.

For the first time, he felt admiration for a little girl.

At this time, the Lin family's father and son walked into the room together. Liu Yu and Manager Cheng stood up and greeted everyone one by one before sitting down again.

After everyone was seated, Lin Yiran served two bowls of wontons to Cheng and Liu Yu, and one bowl to Lin's father. When the second and third brothers saw their little sister's attitude, they quickly covered their bowls and said, "Ran'er, we can just do it ourselves."

"Okay, then I'll go call mom to come over for dinner." Lin Yiran put down the spoon in her hand and trotted to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Lin's mother had just mixed a dish of cucumber, black fungus and tofu skin.

Seeing Lin Yiran come in, Lin's mother quickly asked her to take out the plate of prepared cold dishes.

She carried a plate of braised beef in soy sauce, and the mother and daughter entered the main house one after another.

Seeing that everyone hadn't started eating yet, Lin's mother quickly said, "Eat quickly! No need to wait for us, these wontons are best eaten while they're hot.

"Yes, everyone is here now, let's start." Father Lin also echoed.

Shopkeeper Cheng looked at the wontons floating in the soup. The skin was as thin as paper, and the pink meat inside was faintly visible. It looked very appetizing.

He picked up one with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. The wonton skin was extremely smooth and tender, and the meat filling was fresh, salty and delicious. There was not a single bit of meat tendon to affect the taste. It was smooth, tender and chewy.

After finishing a bowl of wontons, Manager Cheng quickly served himself another bowl. Seeing Liu Yu's unhappy expression, he quickly served him another bowl. Seeing that his master's face looked better, he sat down and continued to eat like crazy.

Liu Yu looked at him with a helpless expression, as he looked like a starving ghost.

This is the owner of the famous Xiangmanlou. Who would believe this if I told others?

He secretly complained about the way Manager Cheng ate and shook his head. He lowered his head, used a small spoon to scoop himself a wonton, put it to his lips, blew on it twice, and put it into his mouth.

As soon as he took a sip, his eyes widened.

Then, he ate in an even more exaggerated way than Shopkeeper Cheng, completely forgetting that he had just complained about Shopkeeper Cheng's eating style.

After breakfast, Manager Cheng looked at Lin Yiran and said solemnly: "Ran girl, can you also teach Xiang Man Lou how to make wontons?"

"Of course you can. I told you last time that as long as my mother and I come up with new dishes in the future, we can provide them to Xiang Man Lou for free."

When Lin Yiran heard that Manager Cheng was interested in her wonton recipe, she was very happy. The more Xiangmanlou used her recipe, the more she would earn.

"That... Ran girl..." Shopkeeper Cheng looked at Lin Yiran nervously, hesitant to speak.

"Uncle Cheng, just say what you want to say. We are all family." Lin Yiran said seriously.

"Then let me be frank. Ran, the pot of tea you brought us last night was very delicious. I want to ask where you bought the tea from?" Shopkeeper Cheng asked tentatively.

"I fried it myself." Lin Yiran said proudly.

"Sure enough, it's this girl." Shopkeeper Cheng's mood at the moment was extremely complicated. The little girl in front of him gave him too many surprises and also gave him an illusion. Could this girl be sent by God to save their country?"

"Ran girl, Uncle Cheng wants to cooperate with you in the tea business. If you agree, let's draft a preliminary charter now."

"Oh, Uncle Cheng, we are going to the same place!"

As soon as Manager Cheng opened his mouth, Lin Yiran instantly became excited, with an astonishing light shining in his eyes.

"Does this mean we are in perfect sync with each other?" Shopkeeper Cheng smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits.

"Of course!" Lin Yiran said with a smile.

"Uncle Cheng, I don't have much tea leaves now, only less than fifty kilograms." Lin Yiran made a preliminary estimate of the output of the golden willow branches in the valley, plus the output of the wild tea forest, which was about fifty kilograms. She also wanted to keep some to give to others.

When Manager Cheng heard this number, he was a little dissatisfied. It was too little. But then he remembered that this was not the south, and having so much tea was already a pleasant surprise.

I don't know where Ran found the tea trees. He was getting more and more curious about this little girl. "Okay, fifty kilograms is fifty kilograms. I hope there will be more next year."

"Ran girl, how do you want to cooperate?" Shopkeeper Cheng asked straight to the point. Lin Yiran pondered for a moment and made a decision, "Uncle Cheng, you have a wide network of contacts. I will provide you with tea and you will be responsible for sales.

Let's split it 30-70, I'll take 70 and you'll take 30, what do you think?"

Shopkeeper Cheng was still hesitating when Liu Yu bumped into his arm.

Shopkeeper Cheng took a look at Liu Yu's movements and saw him nod slightly, and he understood instantly. "Okay, I'll do as you say, Ran." Shopkeeper Cheng agreed readily.

Seeing that the cooperation had been reached, Lin Yiran was in a good mood and gave him a sales suggestion.
