My delicate husband

Brother Xia and Brother Wu stayed in Lianhua Village for three days and then returned to the county town. During that time, Zhang Xiaomo and Brother Wu had many private communications. Lan An was also a little curious about why they had such a good relationship.

"An An, are you jealous?"

"I'm just a little curious. I don't like Brother Wu very much. He's too upright."

"An An, believe me, he is from the same group as us."

Guo Ge'er also stayed at home. He had not learned the rules well enough, so Lan An kept him at home. The main reason was that Lan An was not very reassured about the relationship between Guo Ge'er and Song Hanzi.

The rice bed and hand-cranked rice blower that Brother Xia brought were left in the threshing yard. Lan'an handed them over to the village chief for safekeeping. Everyone in Lianhua Village could use them. After all, the rice had been harvested at home, and these things were not of much use to Lan'an.

The village chief and villagers were very grateful and said they would work for Lan'an for free in their future free time. Lan'an politely agreed.

Brother Xia left with a smile on his face and took away all the saltpeter from Lan'an. Of course, he did not forget to give Lan'an two hundred taels of silver. Lan'an did not say much and accepted it with a smile.

Brother Wu looked a little heavy when he left. He talked to Zhang Xiaomo alone. Lan An didn't know what they talked about, but Zhang Xiaomo lost control more than he had in a long time. Lan An had to rest in bed for two days before he could get out of bed.

"An An, let's talk?"

"Brother Xiaomo, what's wrong? I always feel like you're worried about something."

"Do you like your current life? An An."

"I like it very much."

"So you want power?"

"Do not want to."

"But I think An An likes money very much and likes to make money."

"I don't like money, Brother Xiaomo, but I want to give you the best, so I work hard to make money. I hope to give you everything I have to the greatest extent.

This world is not a good place. I am a very selfish person. I have to pay a lot to gain a little power and make friends with many people I don’t want to make friends with. There is no need for that.

I just hope that our family can be together well. I am living a good life now and I don’t want to be disturbed by many things.”

"An An, if I want to pursue a career in politics, will you support me?"

"Brother Xiaomo, I think I will support you, but we will definitely not be happy. My heart is very small, I only care about you, I want all your care and love, I don't want too many things to distract you.

Actually, I'm very selfish. I don't want to be an official at all. I hate trouble. I just want us to be well. I don't really care about anything else. I'm very cold-blooded."

"An An, you are very good, always very good. Will you regret staying with me in this small village for the rest of your life?"

"Of course not. You are the only reason why I stay in this world."

"An An is so nice."

Zhang Xiaomo collected his thoughts. His An An was too outstanding and too many people coveted her. He didn't want An An to leave the village at all, nor did he want An An to worry about others. He now felt that Xia and Wu were too annoying, but in order not to let Lan An worry, he could only endure it. However, he would not let those two take An An away.

He clearly felt Lan An's resistance and boredom with officialdom. Lan An would not let anyone force him to do anything he did not want to do.

"Brother Xiaomo, do you still remember my spicy skewers?"

"I remember everything An An said."

"I want to start preparing now and then go to the county town to sell it. What do you think, Brother Xiaomo?"

"I don't want you to work so hard. We are not short of money now. An An."

"I know, I just want to make you something delicious in an open and honest way. Besides, doesn't Brother Guo like doing business?"

"Okay then, I support whatever An An wants to do."

The two discussed some details together, and once everything was confirmed, they planned to notify the rest of the family during dinner.

Dinner was made by Lan Euan, and there were cold tomatoes, hot and sour lotus root slices, scrambled eggs with leeks, vegetable soup, shredded pork with green peppers, braised pork ribs, shredded chicken with peppers and sesame, and corn and pork ribs soup. They were all dishes that went well with rice, and the lotus root slices were still as sour and spicy as usual.

"Angel, what do you want to tell us?"

"Brother Guo, do you want to do business?"

"I do, but An Ge'er, why are the lotus roots so sour and spicy lately?"

"Really? I think it's great. What about you?"

"Little boss, it's quite delicious."

"Yes, I think it's normal."

Guo Ge'er didn't care too much, since he didn't like vegetarian food anyway. But Zhang Xiaomo always felt it was weird. However, it wasn't that easy for Guo Ge'er either. He was just overthinking it and really wanted to have a little An.

"I discussed it with Brother Xiaomo, and we plan to continue selling food, specifically spicy skewers. We'll leave this to you four, Brother Guo, Brother Xue, Brother Han, and Brother He."

Lan Ean explained his plan in detail, and no one had any objections. Guo Ge'er was still very interested. He found doing business more interesting than studying and learning rules.

"There are quite a lot of things to prepare, and there are quite a lot of dishes. Brother Guo, you need to discuss it with the villagers in advance. Brother Xu will be responsible for purchasing the dishes."

"Got it, Ange'er, are we going to do this for a long time?"

"No, I plan to try it for a month. If it's good, I'll hand it over to someone else. I have other ideas."

"From what you said, do you have the right person?"

"Yes, Aunt Wang and her family. They helped us a lot."

"Angel, can't I?"

"Brother Guo, this is quite tiring and not very profitable. I don't think it's suitable for you. Besides, I will show you a variety of trades and then you can choose the easiest and most profitable one. I think you are still young and it would be best to experience more life."

"Okay, I'll listen to An An."

"The hot pot base will be given to you when the time comes, but you'll need Brother He's help. I plan to sell it on a large scale and may cooperate with Brother Xia to open a store. We'll see how things go."

"What is hot pot base? Is it profitable?"

"You'll know how much you earn later. Study hard, and I'll give you and Brother He two percent of the money you earn."

Brother He and Brother Guo were very happy to hear the news. The others were a little envious, but they were still happy for them.

"I will consider everyone who finds a suitable one, and I will increase their monthly salary if they do well. Brother He, everyone's monthly salary will be increased by 500 wen this month."

Everyone was very happy to hear this. Brother Xu now receives three taels of silver a month, Brother He receives two taels, and the others receive more than one tael.

Lan'an asked Guoge'er to go to the resettlement house to ask Xiaoluotou to help make bamboo sticks. He planned to go to Brother Xia to make a cart, and he also needed to make a stove. Now that it was hot, he could sell cold pot skewers and braised meat. It would be nice to sell cold pot skewers when it was cold.

The vegetarian dishes include beans, eggplant, carrots, taro, lotus root slices, lettuce, spinach, amaranth, potatoes, and corn, which are quite rich. The meat dishes are pig offal, pork, and meatballs, which are all very common. Complex ingredients cannot be made without blue eucalyptus.

Lan'an plans to harvest some soybeans and try to make tofu, so that he can have more vegetables when he has nothing to do. He can also grow bean sprouts. There are too few vegetables here in winter.

Lan An asked Brother Han to invite Uncle Zhang, Aunt Wang, and Wang Daniu to come together, intending to ask them if they wanted to do it. If they were willing, he would teach them. If not, he would go to the resettlement house to hire someone to do it, and he would pay the money. Although there were enough people at home to do these things, Lan An still felt that it was tiring and troublesome and unnecessary.

Everyone arrived quickly. Lan An expressed his idea of ​​starting a business. Aunt Wang agreed without hesitation. She also wanted to find a stable job for Lin Ge'er, and she believed in Lan An. Wang Daniu and Sister Lan also agreed readily. Uncle Zhang took on the task of harvesting vegetables, and Brother Xu didn't mind going with Uncle Zhang. Lan An planned to start in the next two days to test the waters first.

Everyone agreed immediately, and the task of buying pig offal and pork was given to Brother Man. Lan An planned to teach Aunt Li and Xue Ge'er first, and then let them teach Guo Ge'er, Lan Saozi and Aunt Wang. After Lan An taught them, he would not care about them anymore. He was lazy and would not do anything if he could avoid it.

Whether it is braised meat or cold pot skewers, the most important thing is the soup. Lan An taught for a day, and Aunt Li and Xue Ge'er learned it. They taught the others for two days, and everyone except Guo Ge'er learned it. Guo Ge'er really has no talent in this area.

After three days of making bamboo skewers, I had almost a thousand of them, which was more than enough.

Lan Euan teaches everyone how to use bamboo sticks to thread vegetables. Use one bamboo stick to thread five beans, cut potatoes, eggplants, carrots, taro, lotus root slices, and lettuce into round slices and thread three slices on one bamboo stick, spinach and amaranth use one bamboo stick to thread four, and corn one. It looks full, but there is actually not much.

"Ang'er, what are these yellow round lumps? I've never seen these yellow grains before."

"Ah, I found this in the back mountain. It's edible and tastes pretty good. These are potatoes, and we can plant them right away. The corn will have to wait until next spring."

"Three skewers of vegetarian dishes for one cent."

"Angel, isn't it a bit expensive?"

"It's not expensive, don't worry."

The pork offal was cut into thin slices, with three pieces skewered on one, which looked like a lot. The meatballs were made with one bamboo skewer each.

"Meat dishes are one penny a skewer. The meat skewers are tapped with a brush and then scored three times with a knife, making them easy to distinguish. Pay attention when you pay."

"Okay, Ange, but it's not easy to eat full like this, right?"

"Brother Da Niu is right. Just make some more scallion pancakes. You can try them when they're ready. They're two cents each."

Blue eucalyptus was made for everyone to try. Of course, Zhang Xiaomo ate it first. He wanted to listen to opinions and see if he wanted to make any changes.

"An An, is this made with the chili oil you made?"

"Brother Xiaomo is awesome. Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious, An An, I want to eat potato chips."

"I'll make it for you tomorrow. Tomato flavor?"

"I want some coarse salt too. Can I have spicy food?"

"can."

Everyone has given good reviews to the cold pot skewers. Brother He also really thinks that this young boss has some ability, but he is too Buddhist. Everything he makes is delicious.

"Little Master, everything you cook is delicious."

"Little Master, these potatoes and corn you found are delicious."

"We don't have much corn and potatoes left at home, so we'll only buy them for two or three days."

"Anger, this is so delicious, isn't it?"

"It's so comfortable to eat this in the summer, and it's still cold, it's amazing."

“This scallion pancake is so fragrant and crispy.”

"An An's cooking is really delicious."

"What a shame, it would be perfect if it had something to drink."

Lan Euan thought about it and thought it would be nice to make herbal tea. It was a pity that there were a lot of wild chrysanthemums in the fields. It would be nice to dry them and make chrysanthemum herbal tea. But it was too late now. She could only boil bamboo leaves with tea leaves to make bamboo leaf herbal tea.
