Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

the other side.

After seeing off the county magistrate, the lights in the tavern were still brightly lit.

The only person left in the lobby was the burly man, who was concentrating on eating noodles. After seeing the two men leave, he looked up in confusion and asked, "Boy, do the guests at your restaurant have such interesting nicknames for each other?"

Wen Yuan was stunned: "Title? No."

"Then why did I hear you calling that man 'Sir'?"

How dare you shout like that? The county magistrate came to this little shady shop in the middle of the night to get ripped off.

Wen Yuan did not hide it: "That's because one of them is the county magistrate of this county."

With a click, the chopsticks in the sturdy man's hand fell onto the table.

"Sir, please be careful. This pair of chopsticks costs five hundred coins. They are quite expensive."

The strong man silently wiped his chopsticks clean and continued to eat noodles with his head down and grunting.

Since the county magistrate has come here to eat, it seems that the price of one hundred coins for Yangchun noodles is not bad.

After eating three bowls of plain noodles, the strong man paid the bill and walked out of the tavern, shedding tears of regret.

Three hundred coins were enough for him to listen to a courtesan sing a little song in the small restaurant next door.

That's not right. He seemed to be planning to go in for something.

……

Finally, the last customer left. Wang Ze walked into the kitchen with a gloomy face: "These people really can eat! They really can eat!"

"It's okay, Master Wang. I remember we made quite a lot of pig's head meat today. There should be some left."

Erya had been helping in the kitchen, so she knew the remaining dishes. Since it was the first day of opening, the prices were set high, so she didn't dare prepare too much braised meat.

Wang Ze said with a sad heart: "Six large plates have been sold. I remember that I only prepared ten servings today. There are so many people at home, it's not enough for me at all."

Even County Magistrate Wang, an old man with half his body buried in the ground, could eat two large plates, so how could he not have enough to eat!

"Okay, there's still a lot of pig's head meat left, I guarantee you'll enjoy your meal." Yun Zhenzhen brought a piece of cut pig's head meat and placed it on the table.

Erya followed closely behind, bringing the second serving and other braised meats.

There was a large bowl of Huadiao drunken chicken in the middle of the table.

Wang Ze wanted to pounce on them, but he still remembered that he had a godmother: "Godmother, come here quickly, let's eat together."

"You guys eat first, I'll go to the back and make some plain noodles for us." Yun Zhenzhen went straight to the kitchen.

Wenyuan had been watching these people out of the corner of his eyes. The people brought by the new boss all had outstanding looks and did not look like villagers at all.

Looking around, it seemed as if he was the only one who was ignorant.

Soon everyone was gathered and ready to start eating.

"Xiaoyuan, come over and have dinner with us."

Wen Yuan waved his hands a little embarrassedly: "Boss, this isn't very appropriate."

After all, the new owner is a seventh-rank Anren appointed by the emperor. Although he was born in the countryside, he is now a person of rank. How can he, a waiter, eat and drink with a noble?

"In a tavern, there's no distinction between these things. Everyone has been busy all day, so let's sit down and have a meal together."

After hearing her say this, Wen Yuan walked over and sat down.

“Let’s eat!!”

Wang Ze was the first to reach out and pick up the pig's head meat he had been longing for with chopsticks.

Qin Li was not to be outdone, and he stuffed the pig's head into his mouth with lightning speed.

Xu Ling'er was not polite at all and directly grabbed the best position.

Erya was so anxious that she kept shouting, "Don't worry, Auntie San hasn't even started eating yet, oh no -"

Ling'er stuffed a piece of pork head into her mouth with a chopstick.

Erya's eyes widened as she chewed the pig's head quickly. Then she silently reached out her chopsticks and took her second bite. "Sure enough, grandma is right. Eating is more delicious if you eat with big mouthfuls."

Wenyuan - Wenyuan no longer wanted to say anything, he just buried his head in his food.

Yun Zhenzhen couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips as she watched everyone eating happily. Then she picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and started eating it with a slurp.

The noodles are chewy and tasty, and the soup inside is extremely delicious. It is dozens of times better than those sold outside.

In her previous life, she had thought about opening her own small shop one day, selling some wine, and drinking it herself when she had nothing to do. That kind of life would be so carefree.

Yun Zhenzhen looked outside the door. The night was long and dark, with thousands of lights on. The winter moon was still as desolate as usual.

I finally have my own little shop...

Sudden.

The noise at the dinner table suddenly became louder.

Wang Ze and Qin Li were using chopsticks as knives to fight for the last piece of pork head on the table. Xu Ling'er, who was standing by, took advantage of the fight to quickly pick up the pork head and stuffed it into her mouth.

Wang Ze was immediately heartbroken and sighed.

Ling'er glanced at them proudly.

Humph, what's the point of fighting so fiercely? I'll just get the advantage.

Erya didn't even pick up her chopsticks, because she knew she would lose the fight in front of so many people. She whispered to herself, "It's okay, it's okay. It's good enough to have meat to eat. We can have meat again tomorrow."

Wen Yuan couldn't help but ask Yun Zhenzhen, "Boss, are our other braised beef dishes as delicious as the pig's head?"

If he had known that an ordinary pig's head could be so delicious, he would still be worried about losing business. What a groundless worry!

Even if there is really no business, he can buy it to eat, or if the boss allows him to eat it to his heart's content every day, he doesn't need to be paid.

Yun Zhenzhen looked at him with a smile: "It's delicious. You can taste it tomorrow."

Wen Yuan swallowed silently, with only one thought in his mind: "He will be a waiter in this store for the rest of his life!"

There were only two tables of guests today, plus the table for our family. Several people worked together and soon packed up everything and took it to the kitchen.

Yun Zhenzhen and Xu Linger went to the kitchen to help Erya wash the dishes. This girl had been preparing dishes and serving plates from morning to night, and she had to clean the tools in between, and she was so busy that she was dizzy.

"Aunt San, Sister Xu, you guys go sit outside and have a rest. I can wash these things. It will be quick." Erya took the responsibility and promised with a pat on her chest.

Yun Zhenzhen looked at the pitch-black sky and said, "It's not a lot of stuff, but it's not a small amount either. It's getting late, how long will you finish washing? Let's get started together and finish quickly so we can go home and rest."

After cleaning up, Ning Zigui took out today's account book: "Today's opening is auspicious. Although there are not many customers, the total income is 17 taels of silver. After deducting the expenses of food and labor, the net profit is about 10 taels..."

Yun Zhenzhen took the account book, looked through it, and said to everyone, "In order to make our business more prosperous in the future, if you think there are any shortcomings, please feel free to give us more suggestions and see what can be improved."

"I have an opinion!" Wang Ze was the first to speak.

Everyone's eyes turned to him.

"Our tavern isn't very big, so I don't think we need too many people. Plus, there aren't many customers, so our family can handle it. Wenyuan doesn't need to help tomorrow."

If there is one less person snatching the pig's head, he can eat a few more bites.

Hearing this, Wen Yuan was shocked and stared at Yun Zhenzhen in a daze.

"You're right." Yun Zhenzhen nodded.

Wen Yuan's face suddenly turned pale.
