The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Song Yuntang touched his nose and coughed awkwardly.

"it's me."

Xu Wencheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"I thought it was Big Brother!"

He had previously thought that his elder brother had taken a fancy to the girl and had the nerve to propose the engagement, but he didn't expect that it was his sister-in-law who proposed it.

"When did my sister-in-law become interested in the marriage proposal proposed by my eldest brother?" he asked again.

Song Yuntang thought about it.

"After he saved me the second time, I felt that although he was a bit serious and old-fashioned, he was also brave and resourceful. And judging from Huang Heyu's expression, he seemed quite afraid of him, so I mentioned this matter to him."

Xu Wencheng looked at her and asked, "So, your sister-in-law wanted to get engaged to my eldest brother just to get him to protect you?"

Song Yuntang didn't want to hide it.

"I did have this thought at the time. Plus, my family was anxious to find me a husband. I thought that instead of marrying someone I didn't know, I might as well marry your eldest brother. I cured him, and he also saved me. At least after we get married, we should be able to respect each other."

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case.

After living under the same roof for a while, I found that although Xu Qingye was a little too upright, there was nothing wrong with him in other aspects.

Xu Wencheng was a little puzzled.

My sister-in-law proposed marriage to my eldest brother not because she liked him?

Before my eldest brother fell ill, many matchmakers came to our house to propose marriage, but he said that his studies were more important and he didn't want to get married too early, so my parents rejected those proposals.

"What about my eldest sister-in-law now? Is she still not interested in my eldest brother?"

Xu Wencheng suddenly became worried that his elder brother would be abandoned by his sister-in-law in the future.

His sister-in-law is so nice, he doesn't want her to leave this home.

Song Yuntang smiled and did not answer the question.

"What are you thinking about? I'm already your sister-in-law."

"That's right..." Xu Wencheng looked at her and continued to ask, "What was my eldest brother's expression when my sister-in-law proposed marriage?"

Song Yuntang thought for a moment, "He was quite surprised. He probably didn't expect me to say something like that out of the blue."

Xu Wencheng nodded in agreement. "If I were him, I'd be shocked by you too. How could a girl be the first to speak about something like this?"

Song Yuntang looked at him dimly.

"What? Do you think I'm thick-skinned?"

Xu Wencheng waved his hands quickly. "No, no, that's absolutely not what I meant. I just think Big Brother is too tactless. He should have brought up this matter first."

Song Yuntang supported his chin with one hand, looking thoughtful.

"I think if I didn't tell him, he probably wouldn't mention it."

Xu Wencheng nodded.

"That's right. Big Brother is a slow person. Even if he brings it up, it will be at least a year or two later."

In a year or two, my sister-in-law might even have a child.

By the way, in a few days, it will be a month since my eldest brother and his wife got married. By next year, he should be able to hold his nephew in his arms, right?

Song Yuntang took out small change from his purse and put three coins in each person's hand.

"I'll leave the Huang family's affairs to you."

The three nodded and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. The Huang family deserves what they got. We will start collecting evidence of the Huang family's crimes tomorrow."

……

Early the next morning, after Song Yuntang delivered the prepared pills to the farm, he went directly to the tavern.

The four flat-bottomed iron pans that Xu Wencheng had taken to the blacksmith shop to order were already made and placed next to the stove in the backyard of the tavern.

After Song Yuntang arrived, he had kneaded five pounds of flour with rice wine and warm water and covered it in a large basin.

"Miss, are we going to serve new food again?" asked Mrs. Tao.

Song Yuntang nodded.

"Lotus root isn't always available. It'll be gone in a couple of days. I'm just trying to keep it fresh. What I'm going to make is called Sheng Jian Bao (Sheng Jian Bao). If you come early, I can make it and sell it at the door. It should attract a lot of customers."

She looked at Tao and asked, "Have you learned the dough-making technique I just mentioned?"

Tao nodded.

"I've memorized it, but I don't know if I can do it well."

Song Yuntang looked calm.

"If you can't do it well, you will know after trying more."

"How can I really try more than once? That would be such a waste of time. I need to think about it more carefully. It would be best if I could succeed right the first time." Mrs. Tao said, looking at her with a smile, "I've noticed that your temper has changed a bit since you got married."

Song Yuntang was a little surprised.

"How has it changed?"

Tao smiled and said, "It's getting softer and smoother."

Song Yuntang raised the corners of his lips slightly and asked deliberately, "Are you trying to say that I've become cunning?"

Tao waved his hands hurriedly.

"No, no, how should I put it?" She thought for a moment and looked at her again. "Maybe after being with my son-in-law, the girl has become more confident and more at ease in dealing with people. Anyway, she's getting better and better."

Song Yuntang smiled and looked at Sun who was washing dishes. "Auntie, please help me wash an iron pot. I'll need it later."

"Hey, right away."

After Sun finished speaking, she immediately got up and went to wash the pot.

"You can knead it before going to bed and cover it to let it rise. You can bring it to the wine shop the next morning and use it directly."

While Song Yuntang continued to instruct Tao, the shopkeeper Miao from next door came hurriedly with Miao Dong.

"Miss Song."

Seeing the expression on Manager Miao's face, Song Yuntang knew that he had something to say, so he asked Chen Xier to make a pot of tea, and he led his uncle and nephew to the private room upstairs.

"Shopkeeper Miao, what does he want to see me about?"

Shopkeeper Miao sighed helplessly and pointed to the Feicuixuan next door.

"Miss, you know this street isn't suitable for a large restaurant like the Jadeite Restaurant. I've been the shopkeeper at the Jadeite Restaurant for five years. Although business hasn't been booming, it's not too bad. After deducting various expenses, we can make around 70 or 80 taels per month during the peak season, and around 20 or 30 taels during the off-season. That's not bad for this street."

Song Yuntang nodded.

What Manager Miao said is indeed correct.

I just didn't know what his purpose was in saying this, so I didn't say anything and continued to listen patiently.

Then Shopkeeper Miao spread his hands.

"Not long ago, I bought the roast duck recipe from you. Business is booming now. We've earned nearly two hundred taels of silver in the past two weeks. Even people from the county have heard the news and are coming. My boss's wife's nephew has come to take over. I've been working hard for five years, finally finding an opportunity to build up the restaurant business, but now someone else has reaped the rewards. I really can't swallow this!"

As he spoke, he slammed his palm on the table.

Seeing that he was full of resentment, Song Yuntang asked inconspicuously.

"What does Shopkeeper Miao want to do?"

Seeing that Song Yuntang seemed to have seen through his little thoughts, Manager Miao chuckled.

"Ms. Song is indeed the boss. I can't hide my little thoughts from her."

He leaned slightly closer to Song Yuntang and whispered, "When you sold the roast duck recipe to Feicuixuan, didn't you say it was only for Cile Town? I wonder if you're interested in opening a restaurant in the county town?"
