Rebirth: Farming Skillfully with a Mrs.

When Cuilan heard this, she wondered, "What? The ancestral house? What do you mean?"

She and Yan Gui have been making wishful thinking:

As soon as the old lady passed away, the two younger brothers would be kicked out and the ancestral house would be monopolized.

It's exactly the same as when the Yan family drove away Yan Mo back then.

But times have changed, and the Nian family is in charge!

How could Nian Xiaomi let this happen again!

He took a sip of the honeysuckle tea and said with a smile:

"Hehe, that's right, it's time for us to settle the old and new accounts together!"

Cuilan raised her eyebrows coldly, "What's new and old? I don't understand!"

"That's right if you don't understand! It just so happens that the old patriarch and some villagers are here today, so let's talk about it on the stage."

He counted deliberately with his fingers.

"Yan Mo, he was kicked out of the Yan family when he was six years old, and he is 22 years old this year, so you have occupied the ancestral house for 14 years!"

Yuhu whispered in his ear secretly:

"Second brother, I made a mistake, it's 16 years."

Nian Xiaomi smiled awkwardly, "Yes, 16 years!"

Yan Gui was puzzled and said, "So?"

"So, I want to take back his part for Yan Mo."

Cuilan originally planned to monopolize the ancestral house, but hearing what Nian Xiaomi said, she was shocked!

Standing up and akimbo, he said angrily, "What do you mean?"

Nian Xiaomi smiled lightly: "It's reasonable not to speak loudly, what I mean is, let's redistribute the ancestral house!"

"What... how to allocate?" Yan Gui was nervous for a while.

"The Yan family's ancestral house has a total of eight rooms in two, not counting the kitchen room, firewood room, and warehouse. They are divided into four families, and each family gets two rooms."

Yan Gui was confused:

"Four families? How come there are four families? Me, Shu Bai, Man Tang, are there three brothers, Bu Cai?"

Yan Mo is a blockbuster:

"And I!"

"You?!" Yan Gui was stunned.

Nian Xiaomi said righteously: "That's right! In addition to the three of you, Yan Mo's share must also be counted!"

Cuilan roared, "Why?"

"Why? Just because of your Yan family's insatiable greed!" Nian Xiaomi was not polite.

Cuilan was not too scared when she heard about the division of the ancestral house.

Even if the three brothers divide up, the ancestral house will still be theirs in the end.

But if this color and ink are mixed in, it will be troublesome!

Yan Gui was panting with anger: "I just don't understand, why should we separate? We are not bad to our younger brother."

Sister Lanhua didn't want to be too aggressive today because of Li Dabai's presence.

He has been holding back.

But at this moment, he couldn't bear it any longer, stood up suddenly, pointed at Yan Gui and cursed:

"You cruel brothers and sisters-in-law who don't have eyes when you give birth to a child! How dare you say it! You have eight rooms, but you have driven the two brothers to live in a dark woodshed. Is this not bad for them? How dare you You really dare to say anything..."

As soon as the swear words came out, he quickly covered his mouth and looked at Li Dabai with a red face.

And Li Dabai was holding his chin, fascinated by it.

He just likes Miss Lanhua's sloppy look...

So cute!

Even the swear words sounded like the sounds of nature...

Cuilan resigned, and her cousin couldn't step down in front of so many people?

She walked over and wanted to fight.

Xue Yourong stood up and came in front of her.

"Yo! What? Want to fight?"

Cuilan was really a little scared of Xue Yourong.

Xue Yourong's pungentness is also well-known in ten miles and eight villages.

Seeing her aggressiveness, Cuilan immediately shrunk a bit.

At this time, the old patriarch lit the dry cigarette and waved his hand.

"Let me be fair. I also see the grievances and grievances of the Yan family. The four brothers of the Yan family, the eldest passed away, the third stepped in the door, and the fourth went to the city. It’s written evidence, but the boss’s lineage never said that he would give up the ancestral house.”

Cuilan and Yan Gui were sweating profusely when they heard what the old patriarch said.

The old patriarch coughed and continued:

"This line of the boss of the Yan family is now Yan Mo. If he wants to get his own share, it's only natural."

After all, the old patriarch was highly respected in the village, and Cuilan didn't dare to do anything wrong.

But asking her to obediently give up the ancestral house is unfavorable no matter what.

"Nian Xiaomi! I knew you were not a good person! Yan Mo is such a fool, even if he was killed, he would not be able to think of dividing up the ancestral house. You are behind the scenes!"

Nian Xiaomi laughed out loud:

"You really flatter me, am I as smart as you? It's all counted on my two younger brothers!"

At this moment, Shui Yunyan stood up.

"It's not right to divide the house like this!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, even Nian Xiaomi looked at him suspiciously.

Shui Yunyan said leisurely:

"There's one thing I haven't said all this time, and it's also about the ancestral house."

When Cuilan heard this, an ominous premonition emerged.

"Before the village head died, he wrote a will and testified at the village office. The old patriarch should know about it."

Yan Gui was dumbfounded.

"A will? What will? Why don't I know?"

Sister Lanhua secretly covered her mouth and laughed, then looked at Shui Yunyan with eyes full of approval.

This doll is not for nothing!

It turned out that when the village head was sick, Sister Lanhua once taught Shui Yunyan not to leave the house without knowing it.

Then he was taught to use the beauty trap again on the bedside, so that the village head would willingly write down the will...

Everyone looked at the old patriarch.

The old patriarch nodded, "There is indeed such a thing. The copy of the will is still kept in the village office."

Cuilan asked anxiously, "The will...what did you say?"

Shui Yunyan cleared her voice:

"Eight wing rooms, after Yan Xueli passed away, four of them were left to Shui Yunyan!"

"Ah! This dead father-in-law! Keep this hand after death!"

Cuilan cursed loudly, and then threw herself at Shui Yunyan.

"I knew you were a vixen, you have no good intentions! I'm going to tear you apart today!"

Before rushing forward, Gu Yunfeng took a stride and grabbed his collar.

"You mother-in-law, you have been bullying Shui Yunyan all this time, and you should pay back the grievance for him today! It's just that I don't hit women, sister You Rong..."

Xue Yourong understood, and smiled: "You don't hit women, then let me do it."

Word down!

Pa Pa Pa several slaps on Cuilan's face.

Cuilan was beaten and wanted to fight back.

But seeing the three sisters of the Tong family rushing forward, as well as women such as Tong's wife and Xiaoqing, all of them were aggressive.

She didn't dare to make a mistake, sat on the ground and patted the ground, crying loudly.

Xue Yourong ignored her, snapped his fingers to make up his mind, and happily leaned forward and backward.

"So, calculated in this way, Shui Yunyan gets four rooms, and the remaining four rooms for Yan Gui and his wife can only get one room."

Cuilan pointed at the crowd and cursed:

"Wow you guys! My mother is not dead yet, so the family property is going to be divided up..."

Nian Xiaomi smiled and said, "Don't worry, not for the time being, we will separate after your mother leaves."

Yan Gui was also so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, and he pointed at the courtyard and said in a trembling voice:

"Nian Xiaomi, your house is so big, why do you still want to see my house? Don't be too extreme!"

Nian Xiaomi said seriously:

"Absolutely? I should tell you this! Besides, the size of my house is one thing, and the ancestral house that needs to be answered is another thing!"

Yan Mo got up, his face darkened:

"No delivery!"

The owner is driving away the guests.

At first, he was puzzled:

According to Nian Xiaomi's temper, Yan Gui and his wife would not be invited in for dinner.

After a long time, he has another purpose!

Haha, this cute clever ghost, I love him to death, give me a treat tonight, baby...

Yan Gui helped his daughter-in-law, and walked out of the compound in despair.

Cuilan kept cursing all the way, "Dividing the ancestral house? Pooh! You don't even want to get every single brick!"

Although there was this episode, it did not affect the complete success of the hot pot feast.

Nian Xiaomi has strengthened her determination to open a hot pot restaurant.

After the guests had dispersed, Nian Xiaomi came to the main room and found that Yan Mo was lying contentedly on the rattan chair and rubbing his belly, like an old man.

"do the washing up!"

Nian Xiaomi walked over and sat beside him, leaning her head on his arm.

Yan Mo muttered lazily:

"Let me sleep for a while." Then snore.

I don't know if it's real or fake...

Preparing for a day's banquet exhausted Nian Xiaomi to death.

So, leaning on him also fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up, he was already lying on the bed.

Yan Mo was fanning him with a cattail fan, eyes full of love.

Nian Xiaomi got up.

Yan Mo asked softly, "What's the matter? Did I wake you up?"

Nian Xiaomi scratched her head in confusion.

"Take a shower..."

Nian Xiaomi is a clean person, especially in summer, how can she go to bed without taking a shower?

Yan Mo smiled indulgently.

This clean little guy never forgets to take a bath when he sleeps.

So she held him in her arms.

"Go, brother will take you to take a bath."

Nian Xiaomi was like a well-behaved little sheep at the moment, spitting out small bubbles, and then fell asleep again.

I didn't wake up until I felt the waves rippling.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Yan Mo's big guy...

So, the two took a mandarin duck bath.

However, seeing that his beloved baby seemed a little tired today, Yan Mo let him go and didn't bother him anymore...

A good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, Nian Xiaomi felt refreshed.

After going downstairs, Yan Mo brought steaming meals from the kitchen.

With hands behind his back, Nian Xiaomi strolled forward to review.

Shredded chicken pumpkin porridge, pickled cucumber, a plate of marinated chicken feet, corn buns, fried eggs.

Well, not bad!

Nian Xiaomi nodded in satisfaction, sat down and waited for Yan Mo to bring the bowls and chopsticks...

Until dawn, shopkeeper Xue asked the guy who bought the goods to bring a message:

His friend, the owner of the store in the city, has returned to the city.

So, Nian Xiaomi and Yan Mo drove to Haizhou City again.

After meeting shopkeeper Xue, the three of them came to a commercial street in the central area.

Beside the stone arch bridge, there is a pavement that is not very big, but the open space at the door is quite spacious.

The owner had been waiting for a long time, exchanged pleasantries with Nian Xiaomi and others, and then took them on a tour.

The shop is not big, but it should be no problem to arrange five tables.

There is about five or six tables in the open space at the door.

In addition to the entrance hall, there is a kitchen and utility room at the back.

Nian Xiaomi nodded, feeling that the size was just right. If it really looked like a restaurant, he and Yan Mo might not be able to do it yet.

Nian Xiaomi looked at Yan Mo inquiringly.

Yan Mo also nodded.

Nian Xiaomi made up her mind and said with a smile, "Okay, this is the one! How about the rent? I plan to rent it for a year."

After the adjustment of shopkeeper Xue, the rent was finally set at 4 silver per month.

Nian Xiaomi was very satisfied, signed the paperwork, went through the formalities, and got the key.

Haha!

This is the first shop in the city that he owns!

It is not easy to open a shop in the city, much more trouble than in the village.

Decorate storefronts, fill kitchen equipment, hire staff, shop promotion, etc.

Because the small shop is still clean and tidy, Nian Xiaomi didn't spend much effort on the decoration.

Just asked Yan Mo to make some bamboo pieces and hang them on the wall.

One is decoration, and the other is to cover some small holes in the wall.

He also specially made a pair of couplets to hang on the wall:

"Green Ant's new grain wine, a small red mud stove. It's going to snow in the evening, can you drink a cup?"

This is from Bai Juyi's "Ask Liu Nineteen".

In addition, the tables and chairs are all newly built, so it looks brand new.

On one side of the wall, he built a wooden shelf with small bamboo baskets, which contained vegetables and meatballs skewered with bamboo sticks.

As for the type of business, Nian Xiaomi decided to add Malatang in addition to hot pot.

This was also his favorite food in his previous life.

With the prototype of the store, the next step is publicity.

Nian Xiaomi named the store "Haidilao", and then took drawing paper, and spent a day drawing more than a dozen posters.

The posters are very realistic, and you will have an appetite just looking at them.

In addition to the store entrance, they also posted posters in conspicuous places in the city.

Nian Xiaomi was still rejoicing when she posted:

Fortunately, no one cares about posting small advertisements in ancient times, otherwise, according to Nian Xiaomi's behavior of posting it downstairs at the city gate, she would definitely be arrested...

Although Xiaomi didn't sell the hot pot in her shop, shopkeeper Xue didn't get angry at all.

After the promotion of new dishes, he was too busy to manage hot pot anymore.

Nian Xiaomi planned to go to the dental shop to hire a buddy, but shopkeeper Xue introduced one for him.

His name is Liu San, and his family lives in the city. Although he is only 16 years old, he is very clever and can speak well.

The monthly money is [-] Wen per month, and there will be rewards if you do a good job.

Nian Xiaomi had inquired about it, and the monthly payment was already quite high.

But he doesn't mind being generous as long as the guy is hardworking.

Except for Yan Mo and Nian Xiaomi, the family members came to help prepare.

Liu San took Yuhu, Niu Niu, and Shui Yunyan, walked around the city with a gong and shouted:

"Haidilao will open tomorrow, and you will get [-]% off all delicious Malatang and hot pot!"

Sister Lanhua and others stayed in the store, helping to make bamboo sticks, skewer meatballs, and take care of vegetables.

An hour later, Liu San and the others returned to the store.

"We're back."

Nian Xiaomi smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. There is ready-made honeysuckle tea on the table. Pour some yourself."

"Thank you little boss."

Nian Xiaomi glanced at him and corrected:

"Remember in the future, I am the big boss, and he is the little boss."

Liu San was taken aback, and looked at Yan Mo, feeling suspicious in his heart.

Yan Mo laughed naively, "That's right, he is the big boss."

Nian Xiaomi looked terrified!

"Yes, boss Nian."

Liu San responded with a smile, and helped Xiaoyong and the others wash the vegetables after drinking the water.

The kitchen has a back door leading to the backyard, where there is a well, so it is very convenient to wash vegetables.

"Liu San, don't wash it, come here and I'll teach you how to make Mala Tang."

Nian Xiaomi called him over and pointed:

"There are two types of dishes, meat and vegetables. Meat skewers cost two cents, and vegetarian skewers cost one penny. When paying the bill, the amount of bamboo sticks shall prevail..."

Later, he taught him how to make big bone soup.

"Our food is not suitable for eating in the morning, so we open before noon every day, and we will bring the dishes in the morning. From now on, you will be responsible for boiling the bone soup in the morning, washing and stringing the vegetables. Waiting for the guests to open after opening, I see you are working hard today , stay in the store to eat tonight."

Liu San was overjoyed, thankful that he found a good employer.

"Thank you two bosses!"

After a busy day like this, when I got home, it was already dark.

The next day the rooster just crowed, and the two drove the donkey cart to the city again.

Liu San is a hard-working guy who came earlier than them.

At noon, Yan Mo lit the firecrackers and together with Nian Xiaomi took off the "Haidilao" plaque.

So far, the second small store has officially opened.

Only this time it was opened in Haizhou City.

There are a total of five specially-made tables in the store, each with an inlaid charcoal stove in the middle, which is specially used for eating hot pot.

There are six tables set up in the open space outside the store to entertain guests who eat Mala Tang.

A large iron pot was placed at the door, and there was a hot and spicy soup in it.

The thick soup with various spices was boiled, and the strange fragrance drifted with the wind, attracting many passers-by to watch.

In addition, yesterday's publicity was very effective. After a while, the shop was full of people.

Liu San's voice was very high-pitched, "Delicious Malatang and hot pot! I guarantee you will enjoy it and want to eat it every day!"

This sentence is not false at all, he just ate it yesterday, and wants to eat it again today.

He guided the guests to the wooden shelf and handed over the small basket.

It was the first time for the guests to see such a free way of picking up food, and they put the food in the basket with great interest.

The tables at the entrance were filled quickly, and the hot pot inside was also overcrowded.

The collision of spicy and delicious, the red oily spicy soup is bubbling by the charcoal stove, and various ingredients release the original flavor in it.

After a while, the shop was full of seats.

Nian Xiaomi looked at it with a smile, and her heart was full of joy.

Some customers who bought Malatang were very disappointed when they saw that there were no seats.

Nian Xiaomi had an idea, and said with a smile on her face:

"In this way, everyone choose the dishes, and then go outside to heat them up and eat them directly in your hands."

Hearing that it is still possible to eat like this, many people gave up waiting for a seat, directly pick and boil vegetables, check out and pack them, and eat while walking.

Soon, the spicy smell of Malatang was everywhere on the street.

Nian Xiaomi has a business acumen.

Because this is called - walking advertising!

The packed scene lasted until the evening.

By the time the store closed, it was already dark.

Nian Xiaomi counted his income today, and he made a total of [-] taels!

Two months' rent was easily earned back.

However, he also found a problem.

That is a serious shortage of manpower!

Yan Mo asked tentatively:

"Why don't you hire another guy?"

Nian Xiaomi made the final decision, and made a decision under his crotch, "Tomorrow, invite two more guys, Liu San, and you will only be responsible for making soup and collecting money from now on."

It's only a tael of silver for two more guys, which is a good deal!

Put the money into the purse, lock the store door, drive the donkey cart, and drive home in the twilight.

Yan Mo raised his whip with his right hand, and held Nian Xiaomi in his arms with his left...

In this way, half a month has passed.

Until the sweet-scented osmanthus in August.

The business of Haidilao is still booming.

In addition to Liu San, Nian Xiaomi hired two more staff members. Sometimes when she was overwhelmed, shopkeeper Xue would send one or two people to help.

In addition, Nian Xiaomi discussed with the owner of the grocery store next door to occupy the open space in front of his house and set up four tables.

The boss originally disagreed, so Nian Xiaomi offered a venue fee of [-] yuan per month. In addition, he knew how to be a man, so he brought a bowl of delicious Mala Tang from time to time.

The boss finally smiled and nodded in agreement.

The name of "Haidilao" is getting louder and louder.

Even the governor (mayor) of Haizhou City came to taste it in person and became addicted.

Nian Xiaomi naturally didn't take any money.

This is also his cleverness. To do business, it is not enough to have money, but also to have some background...

Fourth Uncle Yan Mo also opened a restaurant, just across from shopkeeper Xue's house.

He saw Nian Xiaomi's hotpot restaurant becoming more and more prosperous, and he was extremely envious and jealous!

In addition to his family, there are two other restaurants that are also trying to make Malatang and hot pot.

It's a pity that no matter how they toss, the most important thing is that the taste of the soup is too bad!

After the guests ate once, they never went again.

Fourth Uncle Yan Mo also came to Nian Xiaomi again and again, wanting to buy the secret recipe, but Nian Xiaomi refused without hesitation...

The money is earned, and people are naturally not as leisurely as they used to be.

Nian Xiaomi and Yan Mo have to run to the city every day, leaving early and returning late, which is very hard.

The autumn harvest will be one month away, and Gu Yunfeng and Shui Yunyan's wedding is imminent...

This morning, Liu San had already boiled the soup and was putting vegetables and meat skewers on the shelves.

But the other two guys were late.

Nian Xiaomi frowned and asked, "Why haven't Tian Wu and Wang Fulai arrived yet? Are they on vacation together?"

Liu San shook his head blankly, "I don't know?"

Nian Xiaomi looked at the little boss who was carrying the cauldron out again.

Yan Mo also shook his head: "They didn't tell me they wanted to take a vacation."

"These two guys are usually very hardworking. What's going on today? They have no organizational discipline at all! They deducted double wages today!"

Nian Xiaomi was very dissatisfied.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door, Nian Xiaomi thought it was the two of them, and hurried to open the door.

I saw an elderly woman walk in.

She hunched over and supported the wall with a slightly uneasy expression on her face.

"Are you Boss Nian?"

"Exactly!"

Nian Xiaomi walked forward suspiciously, "Auntie, what's the matter?"

Then the old woman said with tears in her voice:

"Boss Nian, my grandson Tian Wu can't come to work today. He was beaten up last night, saying that someone forced him to ask for some secret recipe..."

Nian Xiaomi's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Yan Mo.

Yan Mo's eyes also turned cold.

Just as Nian Xiaomi wanted to ask more questions, a middle-aged man ran to the door.

"Are you the owner of the shop? My younger brother Wang Fulai last night..."

"Being beaten too?!"

Nian Xiaomi answered and asked.

The man froze for a moment, then nodded quickly.

"He didn't come back all night. When his sister-in-law and I went to look for him, we found him lying in an alley with a sack on his head. He was injured all over his body and was lying on the couch."

When Liu San heard this, he was secretly glad.

There are not enough visitors at home these days, so he temporarily lives in the store and escapes the catastrophe...

When Nian Xiaomi heard this, she was furious!

Yan Mo even punched the table hard!

However, Nian Xiaomi quickly calmed down and ordered Liu San to take out ten taels of silver.

"Ms. Tian, ​​Brother Wang, I'm really sorry that this happened because of a small shop. The ten taels of silver, five taels from each of your family, is used to see a doctor for two children."

The two family members froze for a moment.

Five taels of silver!

That’s equivalent to a family’s annual income!

"We...we are not here to ask for money, but to inform..."

Nian Xiaomi smiled and said:

"I know, but you have to accept the money no matter what, and tell the other two that you can rest assured and recuperate. You are welcome to come back when you recover. Please rest assured that this matter will not be let go easily, and we will properly resolve it!"

The two looked at each other and accepted the money hesitantly.
