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

Tang Yichen saw the confusion in Qin Huiyin's eyes and thought she would ask him privately, but she didn't.

He couldn't see through this little girl. She was younger than Luwu, but she had a very high vision, a broad mind, and knew how to manipulate people's hearts.

Tang Yichen's injury requires a few days of rest, so Master Tang's class start time will depend on his physical condition.

"Brother, we want to write a sign on the cart. This task is given to you." Qin Huiyin put her draft on his desk.

Tang Yichen picked it up and looked at it, muttering, "'Smiling' restaurant. Why is it this one?"

"First, this word represents a kind of blessing. Who doesn't want to be happy every day? Second, this sign is unique and eye-catching. We shouldn't write these words in a rigid manner. We should make use of the words 'smiles always open'. For example, the 'mouth' can be drawn to look like a smiling mouth, and the smiling head can be drawn in the shape of a human..."

Tang Yichen looked at her with strange eyes: "Where do you get so many weird ideas?"

"I've seen this before and thought it was interesting, so I took a closer look. From what I can see right now, our push-cart restaurant is definitely unique. But it won't be long before imitators appear, and then push-carts won't be unique anymore. While push-carts are easy to imitate, we can create our own unique style."

"Put a sign on the cart and a menu below. It would be best if there were a picture next to the dish name so that illiterate people can recognize what they want to buy at a glance."

Tang Yichen looked at another draft. This draft detailed the price of each dish, and there were vivid drawings of the food next to the dish names.

"Do you know painting?"

"I know a little bit. I think I can't draw as well as you, so I won't show off my skills." Qin Huiyin said, "We don't have any paint at home, so I won't paint now. I'll go to town and buy some paint. My main task today is to draw the sign and menu."

Officials came to urge the men who were working on the dam to report. They took a household register and counted the people from house to house, taking one away as they were counted.

The village chief gathered everyone in the village and ordered everyone to step forward when the officials called. Of course, some scoundrels tried to get away with it, but the officials were unyielding and threatened to seize their land unless they could get out. For the farmers, their land was their life, so they dared not confront the officials head-on. They could only pack up their belongings and leave in disgrace.

"Sir, that's not right. The person who built the dam in our family was Song Ruize, not my son Song Tiegen." Aunt Song shouted unwillingly.

The officer took the household register and looked at it, sneering, "Song Ruize is a one-person household. What does he have to do with yours? And you're trying to use him as a shield? Do you think everyone else is stupid and you're the only one who's smart? If that works, won't our government be hampered by these unruly people like you and be unable to move forward with our work?"

"Then why is Song Ruize's name not there?" Second Aunt Song's little plan failed. She couldn't protect her own son, and she couldn't stand to see others doing well.

Everyone looked at Aunt Song with strange eyes.

The Song family is really trying to drag someone down with them when they're in trouble. I don't know what good this will do them. Could it be that by dragging Song Ruize down with them, their son wouldn't have to go?

However, no matter how much everyone disliked the behavior of the second branch of the Song family, they had no intention of taking the initiative to stand up for Song Ruize.

"He has already reported for duty. As the only young man in the town who took the initiative to report to the authorities and register, the Water Conservancy Supervisor admires him very much."

Everyone was surprised again.

While others were still worried about the dam construction, he didn't shy away from it; he actually took the initiative. Is this brat stupid? With his small frame, could he really endure the hardships of dam construction? Ultimately, he's just too young to recognize the darkness of society, let alone the seriousness of this matter.

The government sent people to the village to arrest people today, so they naturally had to complete the task. So after counting the number of people, the officials took the men in the village to the county town.

Of all the people in the village, apart from the old bachelor Mr. Tang Sanye who paid for the spot, only the Tang family paid for it. Therefore, when the villagers saw the Tang family, they were jealous.

Qin Huiyin continued to teach her family how to cook. The cart was large enough for one person to be responsible for one area.

Malatang only requires preparing the soup in advance. They can prepare ingredients that can be cooked for a long time, and the longer they cook, the more fragrant they become. This part is left to Li Taohua.

Making Roujiamo wasn't very difficult. She taught the technique to Tang Lvwu, and if she was too busy, Tang Lvwu could make Roujiamo by herself.

Then there's the grilling. This actually requires some skill. She can't delegate this to anyone else; she's in charge of it herself.

Finally, there is the part about jelly, cold skin, cold noodles, and braised meat. She will prepare these things in advance, and Tang Yixiao only needs to be responsible for the sale of these things and collect the money and give the change.

Qin Huiyin took a ox cart to the town to buy paint and a batch of bowls and chopsticks.

She asked a carpenter and his son to make four folding tables and chairs so they could be easily taken away. Of course, she also paid off the money she owed.

Tang Yichen completed the part about food paintings.

In addition to the bowls and chopsticks used for the stall, they also bought a batch of bamboo bucket bowls from villagers so that customers who don’t have enough time can buy them to take away.

After they finished the preparations, a few days passed and they decided to take a day off before reopening.

After all, he had been spending money all this time without making any money, and the original deposit of nine taels of silver was now only seven taels.

"We're having Jiangxiang pancakes again tonight." Qin Huiyin brought the Jiangxiang pancakes into the room and said to Tang Yichen, who was painting, "It's getting dark. Don't paint anymore. It hurts your eyes."

Tang Yichen put down his brush, took the bowl from her hand, and said, "Everyone is busy, I can't be idle. These paintings may sell for some money."

"I saw you paint so many paintings, and I thought you were in a particularly good mood today, but I didn't expect that you were thinking about making money. There is no need for you to do this. Didn't I tell you before? Your current task is to study and take the imperial examinations, and leave the money-making matters to us. Don't think that you have no contribution to the family now, because you will have the time to contribute in the future." Qin Huiyin said, "If you like painting, then paint. If you just want to make a living, then don't ruin your spiritual energy."

"We agreed that I would be responsible for Carpenter Zhang's debt, but you used it as collateral. As your eldest brother, I didn't take good care of you, and now you're the one taking care of me."

"You can return it to me later. Don't worry, I won't argue with you. We are family, so internal accounts are easy to settle, but it's better to settle external accounts as soon as possible."

Tang Yichen looked at the girl in front of him, the corners of his mouth raised: "Can I call you little sister from now on?"

"Am I not your little sister?" Qin Huiyin grinned, her smile so sweetly.

Tang Yichen chuckled: "Yes."
