After separating from my mother-in-law, I raised my children, built a house, and filled the granary

Daya walked on the streets, asking every household, and she looked at everything that was in stock at home.

She would ruthlessly reject anything that had even the slightest flaw.

"Daya, why are my sesame seeds not doing well?" Aunt Zhang asked.

Her family has been saving sesame seeds year after year, and she is reluctant to eat them. She only takes them out now because the price is so high.

"Auntie, these sesame seeds are not from this year. They have a smell and cannot be used to make skin-beautifying pills. Skin-beautifying pills are for the enjoyment of noble people. How can we use old sesame seeds?"

"It doesn't matter whether the sesame seeds are aged or not. You are just using chicken feathers as a weapon to target my family."

Daya couldn't help but roll her eyes. It turned out that she still knew about the bad things she had done before.

She had been dissatisfied with Aunt Zhang for a long time, and now she would not accept the sesame seeds even if they were good!

"Big, if you have anything else at home, I'll come over and take a look."

Daya ignored her and went to look for the next house.

If there is not enough in the village, she has to go to the town to buy some.

We collect it in the village first because we want to provide more income to the villagers.

When they arrived at the Lin family, Old Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin Jiang were already waiting at the gate, waiting for Daya to come.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were extremely reluctant. Shen Yunwan actually believed in a young girl and was unwilling to let the Lin family participate.

But before they could make any move, Lin Xiangdong came back.

"Dong'er, why did you come home today?"

"Grandma, mother, I heard in town that my aunt is going to open a shop. So I asked for leave from my employer today and came back to see if there's anything I can do to help."

"If you want to help, people should appreciate it. Look, she handed the task of receiving the goods to a young girl. If she had our Lin family in her heart, she would not forget you and your third uncle!" Lin Jiang rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction and muttered.

"Mom, think about how our family treats your aunt." Lin Xiangdong was speechless.

His relationship with his aunt had eased somewhat after his aunt had asked him to bring things to Madam Meng several times.

Although he was a servant of the Meng family, deep down he still wanted to do business.

Now that his aunt is planning to open a shop, he hopes to learn some business tips from her.

"Grandma, mother, you know I've always wanted to do business. Now my aunt is about to build a high-rise building. If you still treat my aunt like this, don't even think about letting her employ us. I guess everyone in the village will be building houses made of blue bricks and tiles in the future, while we'll still be eating wild vegetable cakes."

"If you still want to live a good life in the future, just listen to me!"

Lin Jiang looked at her tall son and didn't dare to say a word. She would have to rely on her son in the future, and she didn't want to hold him back.

"Dong'er, we won't go against Shen Yunwan anymore."

Lin Jiang kept nodding beside her.

"Hey! Daya is here." Lin Jiang changed her usual arrogance and greeted Daya warmly when she saw her from afar.

"Aunt." Daya nodded.

Old Mrs. Lin quietly took the moldy bags back.

After checking them one by one, Daya found that they all met the requirements.

He wanted to carry it back to Shen Yunwan's home on the spot.

"Daya, let me take it for you." As he said that, Lin Xiangdong picked up two sacks and walked towards the end of the village.

Daya was not polite either.

……

"Auntie, where do you put these?"

Shen Yunwan was a little surprised to see that it was Lin Xiangdong.

She didn't spend much time with her nephew, but she was always polite to her.

"Put it in the storage room." Shen Yunwan pointed to the west.

"Okay."

After putting them away, Xiangdong saw that the storage room was full of things and the hall was full of medicinal herbs.

He volunteered, "Aunt, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Aren't you still working for the Meng family?" Shen Yunwan frowned.

"I can stay and help if you need me."

Lin Xiangdong really wanted to learn something from Shen Yunwan.

Shen Yunwan looked at him meaningfully, then nodded gently. "Okay, I'll go tell Madam Meng. The shop is currently in the preparation stage. You'll get the same salary as Daya, 600 wen per month. We'll adjust the details after the shop opens. Is that okay with you?"

"Okay, thank you, Auntie. What can I do now?"

"Go and clean up with Daya. Daya will teach you later."

She also needs to negotiate with the shopkeepers in the town, but no one is willing to cooperate with them to open a shop.

Even if the first month's rent is free, no one is willing to...

"The grocery store is located in a remote area with almost no traffic, so it's understandable that the shop owners are unwilling to take risks."

Lin Chengfeng looked at the woman who had a sad face recently and analyzed.

"However, we do have other options, such as choosing the right opening time. During the Lunar New Year period, there is no farm work, and people who make a living outside return home, while most shops in town are closed... There must be a way."

Lin Chengfeng was responsible for decorating the shop according to the drawings.

"Yun Wan, do you need so many candles? It's just a daytime opening, right?"

After the hour of Chen, most shops in the town are closed, so there is no need for so many.

"In order to attract people, our shop closes an hour later than other shops in town and is brighter than other shops."

“Attracting people?”

Nowadays, supplies are scarce, shopkeepers have a very high status, and people are used to spending money and being bullied.

But if there is a place that treats them as guests of honor, where they can spend the same money and still feel respected, what does it matter if it is a little far away?

Lin Chengfeng was surprised, but soon he figured it out.

Then he thought of something else, "Yun Wan, have you thought of a name for the shop?"

"Well...just call Ke Lai An!"

"it is good."

"The goods sold at Kelai'an must be strictly screened. The supply in Ping'an Village is limited and unstable, so we still have to find reliable and stable suppliers."

Shen Yunwan started thinking about opening a shop again.

"Well, we have to make good labels to prevent people from counterfeiting." Lin Chengfeng thought about the beauty pills. If they could really expand their market share in Beijing, they would inevitably be surrounded by many herbal medicine shops.

After Lin Chengfeng's reminder, Shen Yunwan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Before Lin Chengfeng could react, she walked into the bedroom.

Shen Yunwan didn't come out of the bedroom until the sun set.

Lin Chengfeng went to the carpenter's house to discuss the shelves and has not returned yet.

The shop also needs food, and Shen Yunwan thought back to the noodles she had eaten at the noodle stall that day.

It might be nice to have a bowl of it when the weather is cold.

Thinking of the bowl of hot noodles, Shen Yunwan came to the kitchen.

Seeing Chunhua busy picking vegetables, she discovered that compared to her second daughter who loved medicinal herbs, Chunhua preferred to stay in the kitchen and cook.

"Mom, I'm going to cook."

"Chunhua, bring more rice."

Lin Chunhua didn't ask and responded quickly.

Shen Yunwan went to rinse the pig's feet. Now that the weather was much cooler, the meat she bought in town in the morning could be saved for the afternoon.

Heat oil and add sugar. After the sugar melts, pour in the pig's feet, add star anise, bay leaves, etc., add salt and soy sauce, stir-fry until fragrant, then add water to cover the pig's feet and cover the pot.

Half an hour later, the soft, glutinous, salty and fragrant braised pork feet were out of the pot.

Lin Xiangdong and Daya were about to go home when they heard Shen Yunwan inviting them to dinner.

"No, I'll go back and eat."

Daya was also anxious to go back.

The smell was obviously meat, so they couldn't stay for dinner.

No matter what Shen Yunwan said, they insisted on going back.
