My humble days in ancient times

After dinner, Xu Ruyi considerately asked them to go into the house to rest for a while, and said that she would tell them her plans after she woke up.

After everyone woke up from their rest, Xu Ruyi said to them, "Here's my plan: Lei Da and Lei Er will go to the county town shop to learn how to cook. Du Lei and his family will live in this new house and learn how to make chili oil. Do you have anything to say?"

Lei Da and Lei Er looked at each other and said in unison, "We will follow the eldest lady's arrangements."

Du Lei was filled with gratitude when he saw his family was able to be together. He said, "We will listen to you, Miss. We will do whatever you arrange."

Xu Ruyi looked at them and said firmly, "Maybe things will change in the future, and I might have to separate you. After all, I want to do business and open more shops. But you don't have to worry about it now. You can live together for the time being."

They pondered for a while, and Lei Da took the lead and said, "From now on, we will follow the arrangements made by the eldest lady. We two brothers have no objections."

Du Lei and his family also nodded in agreement.

Xu Ruyi continued, "I will give you money every month. Although I am just an ordinary villager now, I will definitely make sure you all live a good life in the future. Don't doubt or distrust me just because I am young. I will work hard to earn money. I hope we can work hard together and strive for our future together."

Xu Ruyi believes that sometimes it is necessary to paint a rosy picture.

They didn't expect that a little girl in her teens would have such great ambitions. Although they still doubted her abilities in their hearts, they had no choice in their current situation.

They couldn't understand why the older brothers, four siblings, had to obey their younger sisters, and the oldest brother was only twelve, while the younger sister was only ten. But then they thought, they had built a house in the village, earned enough money to open a shop, and even had the money to buy them out, so they must have been quite capable. For now, that was all they could think to comfort themselves.

They were at ease with the four siblings. After all, they were so young, so they wouldn't hit or scold them, and they didn't even have any bad intentions towards them. But they were too young. Could they really support a family and support themselves?

They were somewhat unsure, and Xu Ruyi knew this clearly. After all, they had only known each other for less than a day and knew very little about each other.

Although they didn't say much, Xu Ruyi could still guess what they were thinking.

Xu Ruyi said to Xu Qinghe, "Brother, go back and get all the ingredients for the chili oil. We'll produce chili oil here from now on."

Xu Qinghe nodded without hesitation, turned and left.

When Xu Qinghe brought over the ingredients, Xu Ruyi called Du Lei, Song Ping'an, Du Dazhui and Ye Mei to come and learn together.

Xu Ruyuan was lighting the fire in front of the stove, while Xu Ruyi personally taught them.

Xu Qinghe took Lei Da and Lei Er to move the tank over.

After Xu Ruyi patiently taught it once, he asked Song Ping'an to do it himself. Although Song Ping'an was a little nervous and his hands were shaking slightly, he still did it completely under Xu Ruyi's gentle guidance.

Xu Ruyi asked, "How does it feel after doing it once?"

Song Pingan showed a relieved smile on his face and said, "It's not difficult if you don't know how to do it, but it's not difficult if you do it. After doing it once, I found it quite simple."

Xu Ruyi nodded in agreement and said, "That's right."

Xu Ruyi continued to work hard and let them all try it. After that, they basically all mastered the key points.

Xu Qinghe and Lei Dalei moved all the vats into the kitchen. The kitchen was quite large, and even with the vats in it, it still felt empty.

Song Ping'an carefully poured the prepared chili oil into the jar and then sealed it carefully.

Xu Qinghe said to them solemnly, "The chili oil business is currently very stable. We are currently producing 1,000 kilograms a day. Once the market opens up completely, we will see more and more demand."

Xu Qinghe paused, his eyes slowly sweeping over them, and then continued, "This unique chili oil was created by Ruyi. It's one of a kind in the world. And the delicious egg pancakes and rice balls were also Ruyi's idea. Everyone, just stay put and settle down. I won't let you go hungry in the future."

They were silent for a moment, yet their hearts were filled with turmoil. It was unbelievable that such novel and popular things could be made by a teenage girl. But this was also a good thing; at least the owner had the ability to make money. Having money was good; they didn't have to worry about making a living.

Xu Ruyi continued, "From now on, the Du Lei family will be responsible for the production and sales of chili oil. Remember to keep accounts. Lei Da and Lei Er will be in charge of the store and also keep accounts. By the way, can you read?"

As soon as Xu Ruyi finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that there are still quite a lot of illiterate people in this era.

Lei Da scratched his head and said, "We two brothers know a few words."

Du Lei also quickly said: "I went to school for two years when I was a child."

Thank God, Xu Ruyi's alarm was false.

Xu Ruyi nodded: "Very good, let's do this."

Xu Ruyi asked Xu Ruyuan and Xu Qingyan to stay at their grandparents' house for the next few days. She and Xu Qinghe took Lei Da and Lei Er to the shop in the county town.

Xu Qinghe brought all the ingredients for making egg pancakes and rice balls. Everyone packed up the items and cleaned the shop.

Then the brother and sister bought some pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

In the evening, Xu Ruyi began to teach Lei Da and Lei Er how to make omelets and rice balls. They learned how to make the salty sauce for the omelets and how to soak the rice for the rice balls in advance.

Lei Da and Lei Er got up early in the morning, full of energy.

Xu Ruyi smiled and said, "Why don't you sleep a little longer? I'll wake you up when I get up."

Lei Da Lei Er rubbed his head, smiled innocently, and said, "I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd get up early to help."

Xu Ruyi and Xu Qinghe began to busy themselves in the kitchen, steaming rice, frying shredded potatoes and bean curd, while Lei Da and Lei Er watched curiously, without blinking.

Then he began to mix the batter, his movements skillful and neat. Finally, he packed up the things and carried them to the front of the shop, arranged them neatly, and waited for students to come and buy them.

Xu Ruyi specially set off firecrackers to celebrate the official opening of Ruyi Fast Food Restaurant.

Sure enough, when the time came, the school gate opened and everyone came out to have breakfast.

Many students were curious when they saw the sign that said egg pancakes and rice balls, and they gathered around.

A student with small eyes ran over and asked, "Is the omelet delicious?"

Xu Ruyi smiled and nodded, saying, "I guarantee you'll want more after you eat it."

The student with small eyes said, "Then make one for me!"

Xu Ruyi was very quick and skillful. She quickly prepared one and handed it to him. He immediately took a bite and said, "Oh my, it's so delicious."

He said this in a loud voice, attracting many students to come over curiously.

A chubby student asked him, "Is it really delicious?"

The student with small eyes passed the cake directly to his mouth: "Take a bite."

The fat student took a bite and said, "It's really delicious."

The fat man turned around and bought one without hesitation. The students around him saw this and followed suit. For a moment, the shop was bustling with activity.

Xu Ruyi and Xu Qinghe were busy in front of the shop, while Lei Da and Lei Er could only stand there at a loss, wanting to help but unable to do anything.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Xu Ruyi quickly made two egg pancakes and handed them to them.

Lei Da and Lei Er took the omelet and ate it with big mouthfuls, their faces full of surprise, and they both thought it was delicious.

Lei Da's mouth was full, and he mumbled, "It's delicious."
