We have separated, what does it have to do with me if my husband's family eats bran?

Chapter 74: One Day of Being Broken Down by the Village Head

He hired the people, and although he doesn't have to pay them, he is also responsible for supervising them. If anyone doesn't do their job well, he won't get any of the good things next time.

I just came up and took a look around when I saw Cheng Yue's family of four busy in the fields. I thought of asking if there was anything I could help with.

As a result, I saw a basket of black seeds and didn’t know what they were, so I asked.

To avoid planting something inedible. Wasting the land is a small matter, but it will be troublesome if poisoning occurs.

Cheng Yue thought: That’s such a big eater!

Steaming, stir-frying, deep-frying, stewing, mixing with cold dishes, using them as stuffing or starch, pan-fried baby potatoes and spicy and sour potato shreds, these are just the small details, there are many more advanced methods.

Cheng Yue wanted to name the dish in her mind, but she could only reply, "This is called potato. I bought it from a traveling merchant. I don't know where they brought it from. They said it can be used as food.

I think this piece of land is just lying there, so I might as well plant something. If I can’t plant sweet potatoes this year, I’ll plant potatoes. If they are edible, it will be a good way to have more food.”

Well, Chen An’s excuse was very suitable for the three children and the village head.

The village head looked at the potatoes in his hand again and nodded, "We don't go out much, so there are many things we haven't seen. Maybe they are really food from somewhere else."

He knew that Chen An's family had no sweet potato seeds when the family was divided. It's not that he didn't want to share the seeds, but Zhao had ground all the sweet potatoes in the house into flour, so he only got a little sweet potato flour.

Cheng Yue is right. If the land is not planted, it will go to waste. You can't tell what the potatoes are good for just by looking at them. Only after you plant them will you know whether they are edible.

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "If it's edible, I'll ask Uncle Li Zheng to plant some next year."

I am serious. There are so many things that can be done with potatoes. Only if everyone starts growing them can some business be done.

"Okay, you plant it first, and we'll plant some if it's edible."

The head of the village knew what kind of person Cheng Yue was. She always thought about who was good to her, so he immediately agreed with a smile.

Moreover, the peddlers said they were selling grain, but they were all farmers, and who could resist the temptation of grain?

There are only a few kinds of food they can eat, so having one more kind of food would just be a change of taste.

"I'll call your two sisters-in-law to come up and help you later."

The head of the village looked at the two baskets of potatoes and wondered how many more Cheng Yue would plant. There was still a lot of dry land nearby. If she planted all of them, she would be exhausted taking care of her three children.

Cheng Yue hurriedly stopped him, "Uncle Lizheng, no need, we can handle it. We didn't buy a lot of seeds, just these, we just need to plant this piece of land."

Since we are buying from traveling merchants, we cannot buy too much at one time. Besides, there is no main labor force in our family, so we will be too busy to plant too much.

After she grows the potatoes and lets the villagers taste them, I believe many people will be willing to grow them too, and then there will be no worries about having no potatoes.

She was thinking about doing business, and leaving the farming to others.

The head of the village looked around and realized that the land was indeed not big and it would take about half a day to finish the work, so he didn't offer to help anymore and walked down the mountain leisurely with his hands behind his back.

The headman's idea was not bad. With two baskets of potatoes, the family dug holes, gathered soil and watered the plants. They were all planted in less than half a day, which still sped up the process.

The sun is getting stronger and stronger now. Even on a sunny day you feel hot when you go out, let alone working in the fields. Your back will be sweaty in a short while.

After returning home, the mother and her two children each went into the house to wash themselves and change their clothes, feeling a lot fresher.

All the vegetables had been planted, and Cheng Yue had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she took a break for half a day.

However, she could only rest for half a day, because the next day, Cheng Yue went to the county town again.

The shop has been completely tidied up, even the table at the braised food window is newly made, and all that is missing now are some pots, pans, and utensils.

Cheng Yue parked the ox cart in the yard, and she and Chen Lin carried the baskets on their backs and walked to the next street. This street was for buying daily necessities. It was close and had a complete range of items.

Cheng Yue first went to the carpenter's shop and bought seven or eight restaurant serving trays. They were polished very smoothly and then covered with oil paper, which would be perfect for serving braised food.

Next to the carpenter's shop was a blacksmith's shop, which sold freshly made iron pots. This time, Cheng Yue ordered one without hesitation.

To make braised food, you first need a pot. Now that you are opening a shop, you can’t just use the pot at home.

The pot in the space is a bit small, definitely not enough. Besides, she doesn't want to cook anything in the space. The marinade will smell delicious when it comes out.

The same principle was used when selling noodles in the past, which is why they had to be cooked fresh.

Thinking that she would need to buy other things later and there was no one in the shop, Cheng Yue asked the two bosses to deliver the things to the shop in fifteen minutes.

When the two bosses heard that it was the newly opened Chengji Braised Food Shop, they both said they would go to support it on the opening day.

Cheng Yue was naturally full of gratitude, thinking that the advertising effect was quite good.

After buying these things, Cheng Yue went to buy the commonly used bowls and chopsticks and two quilts.

There is a room in the backyard, so these things can be prepared in advance. It’s hard to say whether we will eat here often in the future, but it’s possible that we will just sleep here for a few nights.

Not long after Cheng Yue returned to the shop and was packing up, the goods arrived.

The mother and son packed up and went straight to Mrs. Wu to buy a pig's head, a set of offal and two pig's trotters.

Leaving the town, we went to Wangshan Village.

The opening date was set, and she had to notify the delivery time, and added a few chickens and ducks to the original plan.

At the beginning, we didn’t do any hunger marketing. The more customers we had, the more money we made, which was just the right publicity effect. After all, only after people had tried our products would they continue to buy them and become repeat customers.

The first batch of chickens and ducks did not need to be sent home, Cheng Yue took them directly home. The braised food had to be prepared on the first day of opening, and it would definitely be too late on that day.

However, she wanted to go there on the opening day, as it would be quite troublesome to go there every day.

Make the first pot of braised food at home, throw the marinade into the space, then take it to the shop and continue braising for the next day.

The opening day soon arrived. Early in the morning, the three siblings were either rubbing their hands or stamping their feet. They made many small movements and it was obvious that they were nervous.

Chen An was in the same mood. Cheng Yue was the only one in the family who was slightly calmer, but only slightly.

Opening a shop is different from setting up a stall. After all, it’s my first time. It would be a lie to say I’m not nervous.

Since it is the opening ceremony, the whole family has to go together. At times like this, seeing it with your own eyes will make you feel at ease.

After the family washed up, changed into new clothes, and set out at daybreak.

As soon as I got down the mountain, I saw Li sitting on the stone pillar at the gate of his house.

Cheng Yue greeted, "Uncle Village Chief? You're up so early!"

The head of the village stood up, smiling, and said, "We are opening today, you can go and rest assured. I will take care of the chicken coop at home."

The village chief was waiting here. It turned out that he had said this to them on purpose. Chen An and Cheng Yue were moved and said, "Uncle village chief, thank you."

"Grandpa Village Head, thank you!" The three children were also very touched. Their biological grandmother didn't say this. Oh, now she is not their grandmother anymore.

The village head smiled and waved his hand, "Don't be polite, just go!"

The ox cart moved forward slowly. Cheng Yue and Chen An looked behind them and saw the village head still standing at the door. They felt relieved and grateful.

Today is another day when I was broken down by the village head.

"We made some stewed food, but we haven't let our family taste it yet. When we come back today, we'll give some to our parents, and to Uncle Village Chief and the others."

"Okay!" After hearing Cheng Yue's words, Chen An and the three children all nodded heavily.
