The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

Tang Yichen stopped and looked at her calmly: "Is there any water?"

Qin Huiyin's gaze lingered on his forehead. She took out a handkerchief from her waist and handed it to him: "Yes, I'll pour it."

By the time Qin Huiyin poured out a bowl of water, Tang Yichen had already wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

He took the water and drank it down with a gulp.

After Qin Huiyin took the bowl, he said, "If the matter of fifty taels of silver is not resolved this time, you can still leave."

"We won't leave." Qin Huiyin said, "If we can't find any evidence, then we'll work hard to make money."

Tang Yichen glanced at her and continued to grind the mill.

He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms. As he exerted force, veins bulged and he burst out with powerful strength.

When Qin Huiyin saw that he didn't say anything, she knew that this was a signal from her to show her loyalty.

She worked with Tang Yichen, pouring the soaked peas into the millstone and watching them turn into pea juice bit by bit.

Qin Huiyin usually didn't grind much, and would stop after grinding thirty kilograms. But today, there was a free laborer who ground sixty kilograms at once.

Actually, the previous one hadn't been used up yet, so it didn't need to be sharpened. She just felt that it was better to be prepared in advance so as not to let down at the critical moment.

That night, Qin Huiyin cooked mushroom and pork soup, cut a plate of braised meat, and fried eggs with wild leeks. She also cooked white rice today, and everyone's bowl was full. It was truly a luxury.

Tang Yichen carried Tang Dafu out and placed him at the head of the table. Next to him sat Li Taohua. Next to Li Taohua sat Qin Huiyin, followed by Tang Lvwu, Tang Yixiao, and finally Tang Yichen. Tang Yichen sat next to Tang Dafu, facing Qin Huiyin.

This was the first time the Tang family had such a complete gathering. Even when Tang Dafu and Li Taohua had just gotten married, Tang Yichen had gone to the city early the next morning and did not have dinner with them.

Tang Dafu looked at the people at the table with emotion and said, "Eat, don't be polite."

Everyone: "..."

Haha, this is your own home, who should be polite to you?

Tang Dafu felt a little restrained.

Too many things have happened recently. As an elder, he not only failed to take care of the younger generation, but also made these children worry about him. It is really embarrassing.

Tang Luwu lowered her head and picked up some rice grains.

Seeing that she didn't touch the food, Qin Huiyin picked up a handful of leeks and eggs with chopsticks and put them into her bowl.

In this family, Tang Lvwu's status was the lowest. Even when Tang Yichen was at home taking care of them, he often ignored Tang Lvwu's needs.

Tang Luwu looked up and smiled shyly: "Thank you Yinyin."

Qin Huiyin was touched by Tang Luwu's shy smile.

In the eyes of others, she is one year younger than Tang Luwu, but in fact her soul is already that of an old aunt. When she sees a cute girl like Tang Luwu, she always can't help but love her more and treat her as a younger sister.

"You're too thin. Eat more." Qin Huiyin continued to pick up food for Tang Luwu. "Today's braised meat is more fragrant. Try it."

Tang Dafu saw that his two daughters were getting along so well, and looked at Li Taohua with joy: "Wife, the two children are like sisters."

Li Taohua didn't want to pay attention to him.

On the morning of the second day, all the members of the Tang family rode into the city in Mr. Tang Sanye's ox cart.

Tang Yichen helped everyone set up the stall and entertained the guests for a while. When it got light, he parted ways with them.

He has an important mission today.

Li Taohua watched Tang Yichen walk away and said to Qin Huiyin, "Chen Zhongyi has money and connections, so that nerd won't suffer any loss, right?"

"Mom, it seems that you don't care so much about the people in the Tang family!" Qin Huiyin teased her.

"Didn't you say you wanted to live a good life in the Tang family? I'm tired of running around for so many years. Since you like the people in the Tang family, of course I want to live a peaceful life."

"Tang Yichen is very smart and won't let himself suffer any loss." Qin Huiyin said, "Let's just do our part and not worry about others."

Today's business was obviously much worse than yesterday's. It was only then that Li Taohua believed Qin Huiyin's words that the number of customers would decrease.

Fortunately, with everyone's joint efforts, they still sold out the 200 servings of jelly they brought. Now only the braised pork was left, but braised pork was expensive, and no matter how much people liked it, they couldn't eat it every day, so sales were particularly slow today.

"Today we launch a new product, the Magic Feet. If you have tried it, you will want to try it again. If you buy five cents of braised meat, you can try a piece for free." Qin Huiyin shouted loudly.

"What's that magic foot?"

Qin Huiyin took out the braised pork trotters that she had prepared long ago, deliberately circled them in front of the guests who had come to watch the fun, and said, "Here it is."

Of course she could have put the pig's trotters into the braising liquid, but everyone had tasted braised meat recently and it lacked its novelty, so she braised it.

She deliberately cut off the pig's trotter, leaving only the middle part, then chopped it into small pieces, boiled them until they were rotten, and the flesh and bones separated in one bite.

Whether in ancient times or modern times, people are always interested in things that have gimmicks. She deliberately kept it a secret, and sure enough, so many people came to join in the fun.

"smell good!"

"Give me five cents of braised pork, and I'll take this fairy foot."

"I also want."

Li Taohua was so happy as she collected the money. Seeing that all the food she brought was sold out, she didn't even have time to clean up her messy hair.

"We're sold out here, and Tang Yichen hasn't come back yet. Should we wait for him?" Li Taohua asked.

"Wait a minute!" Qin Huiyin said, "Let's go to the grocery store to see if there are any new seasonings."

There were many people blocking the entrance to the government office. When Qin Huiyin and others arrived, it was already so crowded that they couldn't squeeze in.

"Master, what happened?"

"The government office posted a notice saying they were going to build a dam and asked every family to provide a young man. If they didn't, they had to pay two taels of silver."

"We're constantly plagued by droughts and floods here. If we build a dam and store water, it would certainly benefit our crops," said the middle-aged man next to him. "But this is something that benefits both the country and the people. Why doesn't the court allocate funds for construction, and instead ask us ordinary people to contribute manpower and money ourselves?"

"If we provide people, we won't have to pay. It's written on the notice, and we won't be left with nothing. We'll get three hundred coins a month."

"Three hundred wen isn't much."

"Three hundred wen isn't much, but it includes food and lodging. The money I earn is in my hands, and I can use it to support my family."

The Tang family was worried.

The Tang family only had one strong man, Tang Yichen. But Tang Yichen wanted to study, and the dam couldn't be repaired overnight. If Tang Yichen left, there would be no hope for the next imperial examination.

Qin Huiyin saw Tang Yichen in the crowd, pulled Li Taohua, and pointed in the direction of Tang Yichen.

Everyone crowded towards Tang Yichen's position.

"We have closed our stall. How are things here?" Qin Huiyin asked.

"I have a clue. I can go back today."
