In the book, I was fed by my sister

The new county magistrate's surname was Ma. Not long after he took office, all kinds of unorthodox practices began to become active again.

Su Xiaoxiao also took this opportunity to get her own close-up photos.

She looked at the photo again and again. It cost her twenty taels of silver to get it, and she wished she could have it tattooed on her body.

"Hehe, I never thought that Prosecutor Su would go this way."

Now that she had legal status, she could buy land and build a house.

Song Ran and her family lived at the end of the village, where there was a lot of vacant land, so she decided to build her house nearby.

The sun is shining brightly today, a rare sight in winter.

She passed by a stall selling candied haws, with strings of bright red candied haws stuck on bamboo poles.

Su Xiaoxiao was in a good mood, so she waved her hand and bought everything, even the bamboo poles.

When she drove the donkey cart back to the village, a group of children were playing at the entrance of the village. When they saw Su Xiaoxiao holding the candied haws, they all gathered around her.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, have you started selling candied haws?" asked Li Zi.

Sister Xiaoxiao is a capable person, this is what Li Zi's mother said at home. Mother said that their family worked in the fields for a year, but they still couldn't make as much money as Sister Xiaoxiao came up with.

When she saw Sister Xiaoxiao holding a candied haws, she subconsciously thought that Sister Xiaoxiao would start selling candied haws in the future.

Su Xiaoxiao pinched Li Zi's chubby face and said, "Little fat girl, here's one for you."

When the remaining dolls saw it, they couldn't wait to ask, "Sister Xiaoxiao, can I have one?"

"Okay, okay, don't crowd, come one by one."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the group of children and smiled: "Grow up quickly, and work for me when you grow up."

Return to the Lin family.

As soon as Lin Shiji saw Su Xiaoxiao coming back, he couldn't wait to bring out a big pot.

"Sister! I drew the blueprint according to your request and asked a blacksmith to make this pot. This is the mandarin duck pot you mentioned, right?"

Now, the Lin family's boys have completely shifted their admiration for their eldest brother to Su Xiaoxiao. They all take Su Xiaoxiao as their center and obey her every word.

"Yes, you guys have a really good understanding ability! Have you tried this pot?"

"I've tried it and it doesn't leak." Lin Shiji answered confidently.

Su Xiaoxiao picked up the pot.

"Sister, let me do it. Where do you want to put the pot?"

"I'm going to Song Ran's house."

Song Li carefully took out two duck eggs from under the duck's butt, which were still warm from the mother duck's body temperature.

These four wild ducks have now become very docile. They are no longer as vigilant and aggressive as when they first arrived. They often swim leisurely in the pond outside the backyard with the ducks at home.

All the chickens and ducks raised in the summer are still alive today, and the ducklings’ feathers have grown full and shiny.

The four chickens have begun to show their different gender characteristics. The roosters begin to declare their territory with loud crowing, and the hens begin to lay eggs in a month or so.

Song Li was full of expectations for these livestock. Every day, she would feed them with fresh leaves catalyzed by her supernatural powers, and watching them eat with gusto, her heart was filled with joy.

She could feel the flow of life in these small livestock, a force full of vitality and energy that made her feel more deeply about the world.

She put the duck eggs in a basin and put some rice husks underneath.

I counted them and there were almost twenty duck eggs.

Song Ran was making sausages and bacon at this time.

Twenty pounds of meat, 60% fat and 40% lean, cut into small pieces, add enough salt, appropriate amount of white wine and pepper.

During the pickling process, Song Ran was not idle. She began to prepare the casings and bamboo slices.

Put the casing on the half bamboo piece. This process requires great care because the casing is very thin and will break if you are not careful.

The meat bulges out little by little inside the casing.

Prick the packed sausages with a needle.

Su Xiaoxiao stood at the door of the Song family and shouted to the busy Song Ran: "Ran Ran, help me move these things."

Song Ran put down the work in her hands and moved the things in. She looked at the strange pot on the table.

This cookware is very special. The iron pot is cleverly divided into two parts and placed on a square iron box.

Su Xiaoxiao explained: "The beauty of this pot is that you can put soup on the top and charcoal fire on the bottom. You can cook food and eat at the same time. It's very convenient."

After hearing Su Xiaoxiao's explanation, Song Ran immediately understood the purpose of this pot and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is really an interesting pot. What dishes can we blanch in it?"

Su Xiaoxiao answered enthusiastically: "For meat, we can choose fish, mutton, beef, pork, etc. For vegetables, we can choose radish, chrysanthemum, mushrooms grown in the greenhouse, bean sprouts, etc. With this greenhouse, if we can satisfy the guests' desire to eat, we can definitely sell them at a good price."

Although the place they were in was a county town, it was located in a fortress. Su Xiaoxiao found that the people here lived a rich life and had a high pursuit of food.

With her experience of doing business here in the past six months, she is well aware of the market potential here. Even an expensive restaurant like Xunzhenlou can thrive here.

Song Ran continued to ask: "What is the soup base used for blanching vegetables? Is it simple water, or a rich pork bone soup or chicken soup?"

Su Xiaoxiao opened the small jars one by one and said to Song Ran, "Come and take a look at this."

Song Ran stared at the jar curiously. Inside was a paste that was half solid and half liquid, and some red lumps. But overall, they all smelled delicious and made people want to taste them.

Song Li held up her face and watched Su Xiaoxiao opening the lids of the jars one by one as if she was presenting treasures.

She also had no idea how Su Xiaoxiao became rich later on. The book was as thick as a brick. She was not very literate at that time, so she just tore out the chapters where her sister's name appeared and carried them with her.

But she knew roughly that this thing was exchanged by Su Xiaoxiao in her space.

Song Ran tasted it and his eyes lit up: "Did you make all of this yourself? The aroma is so rich!"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled slyly and said mysteriously, "The mountain man has his own ingenious plan."

"So why did you come to me with these bottles, jars, and strange pots today? Is there something wrong?" Song Ran asked.

"I'm planning to open another store! A hot pot restaurant!"

"Hot pot?" Song Ran opened his mouth in surprise. This store already kept Su Xiaoxiao busy like a top, but he didn't expect that she wanted to open another one.

Su Xiaoxiao explained, "Winter is here, and we're not selling as many stewed dishes as before. Plus, my sweet soup shop is running smoothly now, and I don't have to keep an eye on it every day. The three guys in the shop can handle it. So, I think it's time to start a new plan."

"So how big is your shop this time? Where in the city will it be opened?" "So where do you plan to open your new store? How big will it be?" Song Ran asked curiously.

"Hehe, I plan to open this hot pot restaurant in the south of the city. It will have two floors and its scale will be comparable to Xunzhenlou."

"Are you going to compete with Xunzhenlou?" Song Ran was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and said with a smile: "How can this be considered a competition? They sell vegetables and I make hot pot. The two are unrelated."
