The eldest sister-in-law became rich by farming in the mountains

Xu Yingtao's trip was a fruitful one.

When we got home, the mother and her two daughters were already fetching water to wash the leaves.

Tomorrow morning we have to prepare the jelly needed by twelve households including the Zheng family. It is a huge project. Now we just wash the leaves clean and we only need to rinse them with water tomorrow morning.

Xu Yingtao first selected the jujubes, then washed her hands carefully, and then used the carefully preserved brine to marinate eggs and dried tofu.

As long as the stew is properly stored, it will never go bad and will become more fragrant and delicious as it ages.

After tasting it in the evening, the whole family praised it highly and said it tasted better than meat.

Xu Yingtao thought to herself, of course.

In addition to meat and soy products, lotus root slices, edamame, kelp, fish tofu, etc. can all be braised. On a hot summer night, watching TV series with an ice beer is like being a living god.

Unfortunately, except for edamame, all other ingredients are not available here.

what a pity.

Seeing that Xu Yingtao had stewed a large pot, Jiang said with some concern, "Yingtao, this is too much. We can't finish it all."

Xu Yingtao smiled and said, "It's okay if you can't finish it. I can take it to town tomorrow."

Xie Bai's eyes lit up: "Sister-in-law, are you planning to sell it in restaurants?"

"clever."

Xie Li stared at the stewing pot, wishing her eyes could fall into it.

Xu Yingtao deliberately said: "Want to eat? Recite the multiplication table for me. If you recite it, I will reward you with a boiled egg."

"Then I won't eat it!"

Xie Li let out a howl, turned around and ran away with a look of grief and anger as well as despair, making the three of them laugh so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.

Just after the hour of Yin the next day, Mrs. Zhou knocked on the gate of the courtyard with her two daughters-in-law and eldest granddaughter.

Xu Yingtao and Jiang had been up for a while. Upon hearing the sound, they hurried to the door with oil lamps to greet people.

When Zheng Yan saw Xu Yingtao, as expected, she instantly perked up and kept calling her "Sister Cherry", which was so sweet that it touched people's hearts.

Such a cute and sweet girl, I wonder whose boy she ended up with.

Several people rubbed the leaves in unison. Xiao Zhou smiled with satisfaction and said, "It's the family of Zhao Lizheng from Qingshui Village. It's a good match."

Xu Yingtao remembered that the last time Village Chief Zheng introduced her to the nearby villages, he emphasized Qingshui Village. After all, that was Zhao's maiden village.

As expected, Zhao quickly took over the conversation: "Although our Qingshui Village is not rich, the Zhao family is a very good family. If Yan'er marries there, she may even have a brother-in-law who is an official to support her in the future!"

"What do you mean?" Xu Yingtao became curious.

Zhao was very excited when she talked about gossip: "The village chief Zhao has a little son who just turned twelve this year. He is very smart. He was sent to a private school in town two years ago. I heard that he plans to take the examination for Tongsheng next year. After passing the Tongsheng examination, he will naturally continue to take the examination for Xiucai and Juren. In the future, he wants to be an official."

Xu Yingtao didn't say anything, but she was really worried about Zheng Yan.

The tuition for a private school is six taels per year, and the money for buying the four treasures of the study and books is calculated separately.

If a farmer family wants to support a scholar, they must mobilize the entire family to support him.

As long as the brothers have not separated, Zheng Yan will have to work hard with her parents-in-law to make money to support her brother-in-law's studies as soon as she gets married.

Seeing Zheng Yan smiling shyly and her eyes full of longing for married life, Xu Yingtao couldn't do anything to break up the couple.

Besides, it’s not her turn to take care of this matter.

She could only smile and say, "Yan'er, please be more diligent recently and save more money for yourself before getting married."

That was all she could do to help the sweet girl.

Zheng Yan agreed with a smile.

While Xu Yingtao and Jiang went to the kitchen to prepare cold noodles, Mrs. Zhou started to scold her family again.

"We have to keep the skill of making green jelly for Cherry. If anyone asks us, we won't know. Remember?"

"Mom, don't worry, we won't cheat you on the cherries."

"Grandma, I will never tell anyone about this."

At noon, the sky began to brighten in the east and members of the Liangfen Group came to the door one after another.

Yesterday, everyone had agreed that in order to avoid the lack of experience in first-time sales and the fear of not being able to sell them, each person only ordered 50 pieces of green jelly and 20 pieces of ice jelly, without the sauce for the time being.

Xu Yingtao was originally worried that Xu Erlai would be lazy and go back on his word, but unexpectedly he turned out to be the most active one.

The reason is simple. With the big pie of getting married hanging in front of them, even the laziest man can unleash endless potential.

When it was bright, Xu Yingtao took her whole family and went to the town with Zheng Wu and his wife.

They hadn't set up their stall for three days in a row, and the old couple from the bun shop were so happy to see them that they helped move stools and fetch water without Xu Yingtao even asking.

Although they have only known each other for half a month, ever since Xu Yingtao set up a stall in front of their shop, the sales of buns have increased a lot compared to before.

The old couple agreed that Xu Yingtao brought good luck not only to herself but also to others.

The old diners in the town were also eager to eat this dish, and as soon as the stall was set up, they rushed over.

Those who are not short of money can have a bowl of cold noodles, and those who are thrifty can have a bowl of jelly. In short, it is up to each person to decide how much he or she wants.

In just half an hour, all the food in both stores was sold out.

Zhao was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. When she learned that Xu Yingtao and her family were going to the restaurant to discuss business, she was surprised and admired.

"Cherry, if you need our help, just tell us. We can't do anything else, but we can definitely give you courage."

Xu Yingtao smiled and said, "Of course, there is no need to be brave, but I don't know how long this conversation will take. I will have to trouble my aunt and uncle to help us take these bowls and utensils back."

"You don't need to tell me that." Zhao quickly loaded all the things into the car, and repeatedly reminded them to be careful, then she and her husband pushed the cart away.

Xu Yingtao took her mother and her two daughters, carrying the soy products and braised eggs that they had braised the night before, and went into a nearby restaurant.

Inside Hongbin Restaurant, Shopkeeper Sun was treating the guests to a good meal when suddenly a waiter came up to him and asked in a low voice, "Shopkeeper, there's a young lady outside looking for you. She wants to discuss business with you. Do you want to see her?"

Shopkeeper Sun rolled his eyes at him and was about to curse when he heard the waiter add, "It's the young lady selling cold noodles on the street."

When he heard the words "cold noodle and jelly", Shopkeeper Sun's not-so-big eyes suddenly widened.

Yes! Of course!

As early as several days ago, he learned from neighbors and diners that a young lady had come to the town recently and was selling fresh food that no one had ever seen before.

At first he didn't pay attention.

Until a few days ago, a few diners sent the waiter to buy a bowl of cold noodles. The jade-white dough, paired with the rosy and shiny sauce, and a pinch of green cucumber shreds as garnish, was extremely tempting in appearance alone.

Seeing the diners eating so intoxicatedly and forgetting themselves, Shopkeeper Sun felt very moved.

As soon as lunchtime was over, he immediately called the waiter to buy a bowl, but he learned that the cold noodle and jelly were extremely popular and could not be bought later.

Shopkeeper Sun did not give up, so he asked his waiter to wait there early the next day, and sure enough, he bought three bowls.
