Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

Lan Qiyan quickened the pace of his hands, "Hurry up, we need to set up the stall quickly."

"Aunt, is anyone eating this? There's not much meat, what's there to eat?" Feng Qi asked while holding a pot of spicy crabs.

"It's delicious. A bowl costs three cents. It's a snack to go with wine. After a hard day's work, they are happy to eat it."

"Aunt, this conch is not delicious. It is very bitter." Feng Xi said with a frown.

Lan Qiyan put down the rolling pin in his hand, picked up a conch and began to demonstrate, "You have punctured its gallbladder. The hard part is its liver, which we don't eat. Eating too much will make you dizzy. The rest of the body is edible."

"Try it, dip it in my secret dipping sauce." She specially made this with vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and chili peppers. She spent one or two taels of silver to buy the raw materials, but the sauce could only be used for five days.

Feng Xi followed her instructions, dipped the snail meat into the sauce and put it into her mouth, nodding her head, "It's really delicious."

Seeing this, the other children took one each, and Fengnian also touched one.

After eating, Old Lady Feng took it away and said, "Save it for selling, eat less."

"Mom, it's okay, let them eat, we'll make more if there's nothing left."

Feng Nian took another one, "Mom, I'll go pick up another bucket later."

"We're going to set up a stall at the pier soon. Please keep an eye on it. I've already told the village chief, but we still have to pay the stall fee."

"how much?"

"Ten cents a day."

"So expensive?"

Old Lady Feng glared at him and said, "Keep your voice down, be careful, the walls may have ears."

Feng Nian was not satisfied at all. He walked to his wife and whispered, "Wife, the village chief's family is too overbearing. Our village only has this one big pier, and the stall fees are all paid by them."

Rouniang didn't think so. "Think about it, the whole dock is protected by Fenglong. If they are not there to maintain order, then whoever wants to occupy the dock can occupy it. We may not even have a place to pay the ten cents. Their family has taken good care of us. Don't be so troublesome."

Feng Nian refuted for the first time, "That was saved by my father's life. If my father hadn't died early, my family wouldn't be living like this.

Alas, life is so difficult. You have to look at other people's faces when doing anything. Wife, don't treat them as good people. How can you be so easily deceived? "

Rouniang is angry. Can this guy speak?

If you offend the village chief in Xiaoyugou Village, you will have no place to stand.

Isn't it all for the sake of the family that I say this?

He also taught himself a lesson.

Fengnian saw that his wife was angry and immediately said a few nice words to her.

Lan Qiyan placed the dough divided into small portions on a tray and covered it with a piece of cloth.

In the evening, she stood in the yard and shouted, "Okay, let's go. The cart is not ready yet, let's take the tables and chairs first. Brother, you carry the tables, I'll carry the pole, Fengqi, you move the stools, mother, you take them to serve the noodles and seafood, sister-in-law, you stay at home."

Rouniang smiled helplessly, "Little sister, no one has taken the stove and pot yet."

Lan Qiyan looked at the stove and the pot. The two most important things had not been taken yet.

"Don't worry, little sister. I'll send the table over first, and then you guys can watch it. I'll come back to get the stove and pot later."

"I'll get the pot, and the stove will be back later."

"I can get it. Wait for me, little sister. I'll lock the door."

"Sister-in-law, you might be pregnant. Stop doing these things and just rest."

Rou Niang couldn't believe it, "I don't feel anything at all."

"No, you vomited when you ate fish." Lan Qiyan had been observing for several days. Rou Niang vomited whenever she ate fish. It couldn't be that she had a bad stomach.

Fengnian was so happy that he walked forward with big strides, carrying the stove in one hand and the table in the other.

Lan Qiyan couldn't help but sigh that human potential is unlimited.

When everything was ready, Old Lady Feng and Feng Chuan started to shout that a bowl of seafood hand-rolled noodles would cost ten cents, and everyone would rather endure the hunger and go home to eat.

However, I am still quite interested in the small seafood for three cents a portion. At least it can be used as a snack to go with wine.

Feng Yao was responsible for teaching them how to eat conchs, starfish and octopus.

Old Lady Feng saw that the small seafood was very popular, but no one was interested in the hand-rolled noodles. She was a little anxious, "My daughter, are we going to lose money today?"

Lan Qiyan comforted her, "Mom, our seafood noodles are not for sale to the people in our village, but to the people on the cargo ships passing by here."

"But why did the cargo ship arrive so late today?"

"Don't worry, it will be here soon."

Old Mrs. Feng watched patiently as all the small seafood was sold out. They only sold one portion of hand-rolled noodles, and they prepared twenty bowls today. Is this okay?

Lan Qiyan was thinking about adding a garlic-flavored and spicy clams dish tomorrow, which would also be three cents a bowl. After deducting the one cent cost of the ingredients per bowl, he would make a net profit of two cents per bowl.

A bowl of hand-rolled noodles costs ten cents, and you can earn three cents.

After all, it uses fish soup and various seafood meats.

After waiting for a long time, it was finally dark and the cargo ship docked steadily. Groups of men got off the ship.

Old Lady Feng also perked up. "Young men, do you want to try some noodles? Purely handmade noodles, chewy and tasty, delicious and inexpensive."

Lan Qiyan felt that she had a special talent for business, and sold four bowls with just this one voice.

Then Feng Qi and Feng Yang brought Feng Chuan to shout together, and Lan Qiyan's wrist was sore from rolling the noodles.

Feng Xi was counting the coins and smiling from ear to ear.

Twenty bowls of noodles were sold out in just half an hour. The family quickly packed up their stall. They were exhausted and wanted to go home to rest.

Today’s stall was perfect, which shows that this is a good business project.

At this time, on a super large cargo ship, two crew members were fighting over a bowl of hand-rolled noodles and were about to fight.

The captain came over and scolded them, "You are so old, and you are still fighting over a bowl of noodles. Just go downstairs and buy another one. This is on me."

"Captain, they have sold out and have closed their stalls. The next time we pass by here will be half a month later."

“How delicious can it be?”

"It's delicious, very fresh, Captain, please try it."

The man was skeptical. After taking a bite, he threw a tael of silver to them and took the noodles away.

The two of them were so desperate that they could not even cry, so they decided to just eat half each.

The captain was eating noodles in his room when there was a knock on the door. "Zhu Peng, the Third Master is calling you."

"coming."

Zhu Peng finished the soup and noodles in no time at all before leaving.

When he reached the door of a room on the second floor, he raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Third Master."

A voice rang out in the room, "Zhu Peng, come in."

Zhu Peng opened the door and said, "Third Master, you are looking for me."

"Take a few brothers and go to the small fishing village to ask if there are any strangers who have come recently, especially women."

"Yes." Zhu Peng knew that the Third Master wanted to inquire about the news about the Eldest Princess. Alas, this place is tens of thousands of miles away from the capital. How could he possibly come here?
