Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11505

Yang Huazhong said: "Although each of our families went to congratulate according to their own circumstances, everyone had to prepare a few basic things because these are the standards for gifts."

"Noodles, sugar, fish, meat, etc. In addition, red envelopes and other things are arranged by each family."

"Uncle San, it's a good thing you reminded us. We were young when Qing'er opened the shop and we hadn't even started a family yet. It was our parents who took care of the gift-giving. We had no experience in what to give." Yang Yongzhi and Yang Yongqing said, "You should teach us later about the necessary gifts for opening a shop. Otherwise, we will be laughed at for not doing things properly."

"Okay, let's discuss the specific items and quantities later. Also, let's discuss which people will go and how many carriages will be needed..."

After some statistics, it turned out that except for Yang Yongqing who was still to be confirmed, everyone else from the Yang family had to go that day.

The reason why Yang Yongqing was undecided was that it was the busy farming season. He had rented over a hundred acres of land from Yang Huazhong's family. Although there were farmhands working there, he had to wander around the fields every day and act as a supervisor.

The Luo family.

Sun brought the results of the discussion at the Yang family over to Yang Ruoqing so that she could have some reference.

Yang Ruoqing was taking care of her nails. After hearing what Sun said, she smiled and said, "Our Luo family is simple. Even if we go to drink empty-handed, my aunt and uncle will be happy."

Ever since Yang Huamei gave birth to her baby, the Luo family has provided a lot of support, both overtly and covertly.

For example, a few days ago, when they were passing through the town on their way back from the county, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang went to visit Yang Huamei and her son. They brought a lot of clothes for their three children and even stuffed a big red envelope with five taels of silver.

Aunt Mei'er and Uncle Xu Yuanming are both sensible people. The kindness shown by the Luo family far exceeds that of other branches of the Yang family.

"Of course, the opening of a new store is a big happy event, and we can't really go to drink empty-handed." Yang Ruoqing added, "But the gifts I send are different from those of the others. I'm a married girl, so Tang Yazi and I will order two opening flower baskets and send them to their shop."

Soon, it was March 20th of the lunar calendar.

Early in the morning, everyone in the Yang family gathered in the large courtyard of Yang Huazhong's house to count the gifts from each family. Four horse-drawn carriages were parked in a long row on the roadside at the door.

There is also a separate carriage on Yang Ruoqing's side. Wang Cuilian and Shaoyao will be carrying their two children in this carriage. By then, if the children from other branches of the Yang family want to be with Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, they will probably have to squeeze into this carriage.

Luo Fengtang would not accompany Yang Ruoqing and the others to the town today. He was going to the camp to find Luo Baobao and inform her that he would be going to Huguang County in a few days to celebrate Old Madam Zuo's birthday.

A trip to Huguang County, including the round trip and the two or three days of playing there, would require six or seven days of free time, so Luo Fengtang went to inform Luo Baobao in advance.

"Is everyone here?" Yang Huazhong walked from the first carriage to the last carriage next to Shun'er, asking back and forth two or three times.

When they were sure that almost everyone was present, Yang Huazhong climbed onto the carriage, and everyone set off for Qingshui Town.

At the same time, in Qingshui Town, a red carpet was laid on the ground in front of the door of a shop at the innermost part of Wa City. On both sides of the red carpet were placed a large flower basket half a person's height. The flower baskets were draped with red silk, on which were written auspicious words such as "Good luck in opening the business" and "Abundant wealth and prosperity".

On the lintel of the shop, there is a black plaque with "Sanbao Roast Duck Restaurant" written in large gold-plated characters.

Because it was morning, many people came to Wa City to buy vegetables. Although the store was located at the innermost part of Wa City and the location was not very good, you might not even find that there was a store hidden here if you didn't go inside. But today, because the new store opened, the red carpet extending from the inside of the store to the door, the big flower basket, and the aroma of the freshly baked roast duck all attracted everyone's attention, so many people gathered at the door of the store to watch the fun.

Wearing the same apron, Xu Yuanming and Yang Huamei came to the store door together. Xu Yuanming held a large plate filled with candies. He threw candies at passers-by who were watching the excitement at the door and greeted them: "We have just opened a new store. We hope that all neighbors will take care of us!"

"You sell roast duck in this shop?"

"Yes, freshly baked tea oil roast duck. Sister-in-law, would you like to try one? Our tea oil roast duck is delicious. It is roasted with the best tea oil on Mianniu Mountain. The taste is unmistakable!"

"How much does it cost per pound?"

"We sell roast duck by the piece, 30 cents each. Today we open, 25 cents each, and give away two braised eggs for free!"

"Twenty-five cents, that's too expensive, it can buy two kilograms of pork..."

"..."

Xu Yuanming smiled and did not argue with the person who said this. Instead, he greeted other people with a smile on his face. Fortunately, not all the onlookers were like the person who spoke earlier. There were still some people who were willing to walk into this new store and try the taste of tea oil roast duck.

Xu Yuanming hurried over to greet everyone else and invited them into the store.

Yang Huamei was standing next to Xu Yuanming before, her face red and a shy and reserved smile on her face.

She was different from Xu Yuanming. Xu Yuanming was very relaxed, but she had never stood in front of people to solicit business like this before, so she was very uncomfortable.

Not only that, when she heard someone in the crowd question the price of the discounted roast duck today, Yang Huamei's emotions almost showed on her face.

Fortunately, Xu Yuanming arrived in time and quietly pulled her sleeve to remind her. She then took a deep breath, tried to maintain the open-minded smile on her face, and followed Xu Yuanming into the roast duck shop.

Xu Yuanming took out a plate of duck that had been cut into small pieces in advance and invited potential customers who were willing to come into the store to try it.

Yang Huamei stood by and observed. There were probably about 10 to 20 people trying the food, but only three or five decided to buy it.

Among the three or five men, only two bought a whole one, while the others bought half one.

A whole one costs twenty-five cents, and half one costs thirteen cents. A whole one comes with two braised eggs, and half one comes with one braised egg.

There are also many small ingredients on the side, such as the sauce prepared by Xu Yuanming himself, chili powder, ground cumin powder, fried white sesame seeds, sesame oil, chopped green onions, etc.

"Mei'er, don't be stunned, collect the money!"

Xu Yuanming gently touched Yang Huamei's elbow. Yang Huamei came to her senses instantly and found that a customer had already handed her a counted copper coin.

Yang Huamei quickly picked up a brand new fine-mesh sieve that she had prepared in advance, took the copper coins handed over by the other party, and began to count them carefully. After counting them accurately, she took the braised eggs and gave them to the other party.

She bowed slightly to the other party and said, "Thank you for taking care of your business. Please walk slowly and you are welcome to come often."
