Chapter 11605

"Yes, Mr. Fourth, why do you envy our Mei'er?" Tan also asked Liu for the first time.

In Tan's opinion, Mei'er has something that makes others envy and jealous, and this is the source of Mei'er's pride. It must be singled out and discussed and promoted, and it cannot be hidden.

The others at the table also looked at Liu curiously.

Only the corner of Yang Ruoqing's mouth twitched slightly. If it was as expected, Liu's envy and jealousy should be about the food and drink.

Instead of Aunt Mei'er working on her career and giving birth to triplets, a boy and a girl.

Compared to eating and drinking, these things are nothing to Liu. Eating and drinking always come first.

As expected, Liu looked Yang Huamei up and down, and said sincerely, "I envy you for having a roast duck restaurant, with endless roast duck and roast chicken every day!"

"What? You envy this?" Yang Huamei thought she had heard it wrong and her eyes widened.

Tan curled her lips, a little disappointed with Liu's answer. After all, she was still a greedy person. She was like mud that could not be used to plaster a wall. Even if she was given a chance, it would be useless. She was destined to not be able to eat more than four dishes in her life!

"Isn't this worth envying?" Liu asked Yang Huamei.

"What's there to envy?" Yang Huamei asked back, "You don't know, we who make roast duck smell like that every day. It feels like we're about to turn into a roast duck!"

"Hey, what's the big deal? The roast duck smells so good, it's so wonderful just thinking about it!" Liu said with a smack of her lips. In her eyes, Yang Huamei seemed to have turned into a big fat roast duck that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!

Yang Huamei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Fourth sister-in-law, you should buy a roast duck occasionally to taste it. It tastes delicious."

"But if you stay in that smell every day, you'll vomit!"

"Even if you go home, take a shower, wash your hair, lie down on the bed and sleep with the quilt covered, the quilt is full of the smell of roast duck, especially in this hot weather, raw duck has a fishy smell, the oven for roasting duck is so hot, every day in the shop, the smell of roast duck oil mixed with the smell of sweat on your body, oh my god, it's so painful just thinking about it, there's really nothing to envy!"

Everyone was touched by what Yang Huamei said.

Especially those like Sun and Yang Ruoqing who like to be clean and tidy feel it deeply, because everyone likes to keep themselves dry and clean.

Just passing by people, there is also a faint fragrance...

No one wants to be greasy from head to toe and become a free-walking roast duck.

"Mei'er, you really don't know how to appreciate the good things you have," Liu said, "So what if you smell? You can eat roast duck every day!"

"It's so delicious! I would eat it every day and never get tired of it!"

"Especially when it's hot, the unsold roast duck can be eaten at home. How great is that? I'll eat as many duck legs and duck necks as I can get!"

Yang Huamei just listened and shook her head, not giving too much rebuttal, because she knew that even if she refuted, Liu would not listen.

"Fourth Aunt, how about you switch with my aunt someday? You can let her live in the village with the kids, and you can go to her shop to help out for a few days. It just so happens that their shop is recruiting. What do you think?" Yang Ruoqing asked jokingly.

Liu's eyes lit up and she looked at Yang Huamei, "How about it, Mei'er? Do you want to switch?"

Yang Huamei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, I promise that you will cry and beg to come back before you stay for five days!" "No, as long as you have enough roast duck and let me stay in the store to help out, I'm fine!" Liu seemed to be full of expectations for the new exchange life in the future: "When the time comes, I will go to the town's tile market with Kang Xiaozi and others in the morning, and come back with them in the evening. As long as you provide food and drink, I will do it for no wages!"

Everyone thought Liu's words were just a joke and no one took them seriously.

After all, Liu has always been a perfect combination of greed and laziness, especially in such a hot day. Let alone asking her to serve roast duck by the big charcoal stove, even if she was asked to go to the vegetable garden, she would scream with heat.

At this time, Yang Ruoqing spoke.

"Aunt Si, you only see that my aunt has endless roast duck, but you don't understand what it means for all that roast duck to end up in her mouth."

"It means that the roast duck was not sold. It means that the cost of the duck, the cost of the charcoal stove, and the cost of various seasonings... were not recovered, let alone making money!"

"The roast duck seller hopes to sell out all the ducks, and the meat seller is reluctant to eat the meat himself, only the bones and brains. Similarly, Fourth Aunt, you used to sell vegetables and fruits, wasn't it the same for you?"

Yang Ruoqing's words immediately awakened Liu's memory from many years ago.

Liu's face was filled with regret as she said, "That's right. When I was selling vegetables back then, I had to put the freshest and most juicy vegetables on the stall and sell them to others. I could only eat the leftover leaves that I couldn't sell."

"As for fruits, let's not even mention them. Although I sell fruits, I have never eaten a single intact fruit. I always eat rotten fruits that cannot be sold. Alas!" At this point, Mrs. Liu suddenly stopped talking.

She raised her head and glanced at Yang Huamei with a complicated expression.

Suddenly I understood Yang Huamei's living conditions. The reason why she had roast duck to eat every day was because the weather was hot and roast duck was not easy to sell.

"Mei'er, how is your business? Can it survive?" Liu was serious for a rare moment and asked very seriously, with concern in her tone.

Yang Huamei was also a little surprised, but she still smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Sister-in-law. Don't worry, the business is still going well and I can still support my family."

She glanced at the other people at the table. Facing the concerned eyes, Yang Huamei continued, "Actually, the business a while ago is about the same as it is now. It's just that the weather has been hot recently and the ducks are not easy to preserve, so the cost is relatively high."

"However, by the time autumn or winter comes, costs will drop and losses will be lower, so we should be able to even out our losses."

Liu nodded. "Then you have to grit your teeth and hold on. It will be fine once you get through this."

Yang Huaming also said: "When doing business, sometimes you just have to endure it!"

Old Yang and Yang Huazhong nodded, indicating their agreement.

Tan's focus has always been on other things. She silently changed a bowl of hot rice for Yang Huamei and said, "Mei'er, don't delay your meal by talking. If you eat cold food, your stomach will hurt."

Yang Huamei smiled and nodded.

Yang Ruoqing greeted everyone: "Let's continue eating. We can talk while we eat."

Just as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly rushed in from the gate of the third room. Before the person ran into the main room, his voice could not wait to be heard: "Third uncle, third uncle, is my mother at your house?"
