Cheng Yang and Cheng Feng, who were washing their faces in the yard, came out immediately after hearing the noise.

Cheng Yang said with a smile on his face: "Little sister, why are you here?" Then he saw the ox cart behind him, "Oh, this ox is so strong and handsome!"

Sure enough, all men are the same. They can't walk when they see a cow.

Cheng Feng also shouted, "Aunt, cousin, cousin!"

Although he had the impression that he met his aunt and cousins ​​very few times, his grandparents talked about them every day, so he didn't feel strange at all, but instead felt very close to them.

The three Chen Lin siblings grinned, "Uncle, cousin!" They were a little reserved at first, but when they saw people they felt happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Cheng Yue took out a bag of buns from the ox cart, handed it to Cheng Feng and said, "Xiao Feng, take it, you will have a big meat bun later."

I was so busy competing with my mother along the way that I forgot to take out this bag of buns. Now they are getting a little cold.

Cheng Feng looked into the bag, his mouth opened wide, and he said in surprise: "It's white bread!"

His eyes were shining, and it was obvious that he had never eaten it before.

Cheng Yue was puzzled. The last time her parents came over, she had filled half a bag with rice and flour. Could it be that they couldn't bear to eat them and sold them all?

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Seeing Cheng Yue's eyes, Mrs. Wu immediately knew that her daughter was overthinking, and immediately explained awkwardly: "White flour is so expensive, I want to save it for the New Year."

Cheng Yang and Liu both looked noncommittal, and Cheng Yue felt sad and helpless.

She knew in her heart that although her parents earned some money from selling pork, the family had a scholar to support, so there would be nothing left. What else could she do but live frugally?

If the noodle stall business was established, my parents' lives would definitely be much easier. Thinking of this, Cheng Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said coquettishly, "Mom, I'm starving. I want to eat white flour cakes."

Wu knew what her daughter was up to at first glance, but since her daughter had been acting like a spoiled brat, she couldn't bear not to satisfy her. She snorted, "Isn't it enough for you to do it?"

Liu smiled and said softly, "Take a rest, mother. I'll do it."

They don't have the habit of eating lunch, but the sister-in-law can't go hungry when she brings the children back to her parents' home.

It’s just a white flour pancake, what’s the big deal? Even the white flour was given by my sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, wait a minute, let's go together." Cheng Yue called Liu, took out most of the meat in the basket, and secretly took out a dozen eggs from the space.

What's the point of just eating white flour pancakes? If you want to make something, just make a big meat pie and serve it with egg soup.

Cheng Yang was dumbfounded and said, "What kind of good day is today..." The piece of meat must have weighed at least 20 to 30 kilograms!

Even though my parents sell meat every day, there is no meat in their family’s meals. The last time I ate meat was when I went to my younger sister’s house.

"Xiao Feng, bring the buns in. We'll heat them up and eat them together later."

"Oh, good!" Cheng Feng ran into the house, his heart pounding with excitement. It was good that his aunt-in-law was here, and he could eat meat!

Cheng Yue and Liu walked in front, while Chen Lin followed behind, pulling the ox cart towards the yard.

Chen Tong and Chen Ning pulled Cheng Yang, who was in a daze, and said mysteriously: "Uncle, you will definitely be able to eat meat every day in the future."

As long as you listen to your mother, you can eat meat. That's how they do it.

"Ah?" Cheng Yang was even more stunned.

Cheng Yue and Liu cooked together. Both of them were quick and skillful and finished the meal in no time.

Looking at the table full of greasy white flour meat patties, plump meat buns, and soup with only egg drops but no vegetables, the family was so upset that they almost burst into tears.

It smells really good, and it hurts really bad.

Cheng Yue ignored everyone's annoyed expressions and said, "Eat quickly, we can talk after we finish eating."

She wasn't overthinking it. If she said it now, everyone would definitely be choked.

Knowing that Cheng Yue had something to say, the family didn't delay any longer and started eating with bites of pancake and sips of soup.

It would be better for the girls to finish their conversation as soon as possible and go home early, otherwise it would be troublesome if something goes wrong when it gets dark and the road is not safe.

After the family finished their meal, they all looked at Cheng Yue.

Cheng Yue didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "I'm going to the county town to do business. I can't take care of the noodle stall, so I want to leave it to my eldest brother and sister-in-law."

"What? We're going to the county town to do business?" Wu exclaimed. My goodness, the stall in the town has only been set up for more than half a month, how come it has expanded to the county town all of a sudden?

Cheng Yue told the whole story again. The family was confused after listening to it, but finally they were convinced that Cheng Yue was really going to the county town and that they had not been deceived. Only then did they feel relieved.

The daughter's craftsmanship is indeed good, Cheng's father and others know it. As for why it is so good, it must be because of the training she received from that evil mother-in-law Zhao!

Cheng Yang frowned and said, "Little sister, we only know how to farm and work hard, we don't know how to do this kind of craft work!"

He had tasted the noodles made by my younger sister, but how could they make it taste like that? Cooking is all about taste, how can you do business if you don’t do it right?

Liu also nodded. Doing business is not like feeding chickens and ducks. Anyone can do it. What if her sister's hard-earned stall is ruined by them?

Cheng Yue said: "Sister-in-law, I know how to cook. This is nothing. I can prepare the recipe. You just need to stir-fry the stew. The taste will be good. It's not difficult."

Mrs. Wu thought a lot and disagreed, "My daughter, this won't work. If your husband's family knew that you gave such a lucrative business to your brother and sister-in-law, they might accuse you of subsidizing your family. How can you hold your head up in the future?"

Cheng Yue knew what Wu meant. A daughter who is married off is like water spilled, and everything belongs to her husband's family. This is common in modern times, let alone in ancient times?

Although Wu and the others didn't think so, they always had to consider Cheng Yue's situation.

"Mom, the stall is mine, and I have the final say on how to decide. Besides, we have already separated and have torn our relationship with them a long time ago, so why should I care what they say?"

Father Cheng asked anxiously, "What does the son-in-law think?"

Cheng Yue smiled and comforted him, "Your son-in-law has the same idea as me, and wants you to live a better life."

After hearing what Cheng Yue said, the whole family felt much more at ease. Since Chen An agreed, no one would say anything more.

The daughter was thinking about them, and the son-in-law also cared about them, so Father Cheng and Mrs. Wu felt very comfortable.

Cheng Yang and Liu exchanged a glance and were about to say let's give it a try when Wu pulled Cheng Yue and asked quietly, "Daughter, tell me the truth, how much can this stall earn in a day?"

The girl said that the big bag of silver was earned in one day, but she really couldn't believe it, so she had to ask clearly.

If they earn little, they can just give it to their own family. If they earn a lot, they certainly cannot take advantage of the girls, they must give them some money.

Cheng Yue spoke frankly, "The noodle stall is doing a stable business now. We make 30 kilograms of noodles every day. After deducting the cost, we can make a net profit of 500 wen a day."

Five hundred wen a day?! Or pure profit? That would be fifteen liang a month.

The family counted on their fingers and found that their mouths were wide enough to fit eggs. Liu was even more panicked, "Little sister, we can't take this stall!"
