Blessed woman in the farm gate

Chapter 109

On the morning of the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, I heard a letter from the old house.

It was said that Mrs. Liang had given birth to a boy, but Mrs. Zheng, who had been displeased with Mrs. Liang before, was overjoyed.

In this regard, Li Fuyue just watched and smiled without saying a word.

She doesn't want to talk about whether the third room is red or green, because the Li family's move is scheduled for the 29th of the twelfth lunar month of this year.

Old man Li actually disagrees with Erfang's plan to move quickly. According to the older generation, moving twice a year is unlucky and affects luck.

But Li Shu didn't care. Now in Liufeng Village, who can say that his luck is bad?
Besides, the old woodland house is not my home after all, and living in my real home before the new year is called happiness, not unlucky.

Fortunately, there was no formaldehyde in the new houses in ancient times. Today, Li Fuyue is wearing a red pair of jackets embroidered with the word "Fu", carefully sewn with rabbit fur on the side, and covered with light blue muslin cloth. He is seven years old, and his face has grown a bit. His eyebrows are neither thick nor light, and his eyebrows are curved. His eyes are still black and bright as before. Although they are still immature, they can see a good future.

At this time, Li Fuyue was very happy carrying her small belongings, and followed behind her two sisters step by step. Li Yayue and Li Miaoyue, who were also wearing good new clothes, were also happy, walking in the village, I just feel that my back is straighter, even though it is cold winter, I can't resist the joy in my heart.

In just one year, the situation of their family has changed greatly.

When they brought their things to the new house, Lu Yuan had already put away his books properly, and walked out to go back to the old house in the woodland. Waiting to go back together.

After these months of recuperation, Lu Yuan is not quite the same as the overly shy and nervous boy back then. His originally thin and frail body is also somewhat healthier, and this person is very fair. The way he stood quietly with his eyes turned out to be a bit confusing.

Of course, the person who was deceived was Li Miaoyue herself, although she didn't admit it.

"Hey, nerd, what are you doing here? Have you finished your stuff?"

Lu Yuan smiled slightly: "It's almost time to move, I'll count on you. You should be back soon, so I want to wait here for a while."

Li Yayue and Li Fuyue were familiar with the way they got along. After looking at each other, Li Fuyue followed Li Yayue into the new house skillfully.

Because Mrs. Yu estimated that it would be these two days since Mrs. Yu launched the move, Mrs. Yu did not participate in the move with the rest of the people, but came to the new house ahead of time. At this time, she was sitting in the yard choosing vegetables. I wanted to stand up and help clean up, but my stomach was in the way.

Li Yayue hurriedly stopped: "Mother, you'd better sit down, don't be in such a hurry, and be careful not to fall."

Yu rubbed her stomach, also afraid: "I don't know when this child will come out, and I will just toss my mother in the stomach. By the way, when will your father come?"

The small things of the Li family can be brought here by manpower, but the big things are not, so Li Shu went to the village to borrow a bullock cart so that the things could be brought here.

"It should be soon. Dad said that an ox cart probably needs to run several times, so I asked someone to borrow it from the next village, and try to move it before lunch."

Only then did Yu feel relieved. She was always a little anxious in the past few days after she was due to give birth, for fear that something might happen to her family.

Li Fuyue guessed that this was probably some manifestation of prenatal anxiety, and it was difficult to comfort her with words. Only when Yu realized that nothing would happen could she feel at ease.

Li Fuyue asked from the side: "Mother, let's pick up my aunt and uncle to our house, shall we?"

Yu Shi's eyes brightened, and with his sister and brother accompanying him, he felt more at ease.

Li Yayue took this matter down.

The scale of the Li family's move is not small, but there are actually very few things that Li Fuyue needs to move. The remaining Yayue Miaoyue and Lu Yuan can move all the small things when they go back again, so they put their own things in the room. After recovering, Li Fuyue lay on the kang, drowsy.

No way, this weather is really suitable for sleeping.

And kids just snooze.

Li Yayue also knew that she was very sleepy. Seeing her loitering in the bed, she knew that her little sister was sleepy, so she covered the quilt and put it on. An ugly and cute doll that she sewed, fell into a long dream.

Li Fuyue was awakened by the smell of food. She rubbed her eyes and opened them in a daze. She smelled so much like a roast duck. Li Fuyue never treated her stomach badly. After putting on her coat, she followed the scent. Go to the kitchen.

The brand-new kitchen room is very spacious. At this time, standing in the kitchen room is Mrs. Yu with a big belly, Lu Yuan, two sisters Li Yayue and Li Miaoyue, who are helping to light the fire, and Mrs. plum tree.

The three of Yu's attention was on the pot, and it was Li Shu who noticed Li Fuyue first: "Fu Bao, it's time to wake up, are you hungry, come and eat this crispy duck!"

Li Fuyue naturally walked towards the pot, and saw a scorched-yellow tempting duck in the pot, and some oil stains were evenly distributed on the skin, Li Fuyue took a closer look, only to find that it was nothing Oily, smells a bit sweet.

With the precious spirit of asking when she doesn't understand, Li Fuyue tilted her head and pointed at the sweet color: "Sister, what is this?"

"It's honey!" Li Yayue's eyes sparkled with excitement, "This crispy duck was brought back from the town by my father. When I came out, I accidentally got honey, but I didn't expect the taste to be not destroyed, but it was even more fragrant and craving."

Things like honey originally existed only as a precious "medicinal material" or snack, and few people used it as an ingredient, but Li Yayue saw the value of honey as an ingredient from this small mistake , let alone other things, just the meringue duck, did it become more fragrant and delicious shortly after touching the honey?Moreover, the color looks much better, and the value has more than doubled.

After Li Fuyue listened to Li Yayue's explanation, she instantly understood that her sister and parents had learned the essence of "Honey Baking" without a teacher!
Because of poor material conditions, people in this small mountain village generally lack innovation in cooking, and few people are willing to try new methods, because if they fail, food will be wasted. For these crops that depend on food For Han, wasting food is really the most shameful and unforgivable act.

This roast duck was originally roasted, and with the addition of sweet honey, the smell is even richer.

Duck legs are much bigger than chicken legs. Li Yayue cut up the two duck legs. After thinking about it, she put the honey aside. If someone likes something sweet, it can be used as a dipping sauce.Of course, Li Fuyue did not have such benefits, because when she was teething, even the small snacks she ate on weekdays had been replaced with salty ones, so Li Fuyue ate only a thin layer of honey on the duck legs, Can only taste the sweetness.

"The taste will be more fresh after adding honey!" Li Shu is a person who can't say any good words. When he is satisfied with the food, he often has a few comments, delicious, fresh, fragrant, and good taste.Although he couldn't say anything good, his expression was very rich. At this time, he was eating the duck leg and nodding vigorously.

Li Miaoyue did have some other thoughts in her head, and she became more confident in her heart.

During dinner, Li Shu talked about opening a restaurant in the town at the dinner table: "I have several places in my fancy, and I have thought about it myself. In the end, there are only two places left, one is On the street of Gold and Silver Street, there is a newly renovated store, which used to sell jewelry, but the owner’s family is going to move out, so they sold the store together with the land deed.”

"The second place is on the side of the old street. The location is a little bit out of the way. It is a wine shop run by an old couple. They also do some small food business. This couple is also a child and has become a local official. Well, that's why I plan to bring my parents to take care of me."

"The first one is in a good location and newly decorated, and the owner is not in a hurry to sell it, so the asking price is a bit higher, 71 taels of silver, while the second one is in a remote location, and it is an old shop that is in a hurry , so the asking price is low, only 40 taels of silver, what do you think?" Li Shu was a little embarrassed as he spoke, but he didn't expect that one day he would say "only 40 taels of silver".

Everyone at the dinner table was lost in thought, Yu Shi and Li Yayue were not mentally retarded, so they just ate and waited to see what the rest of the family thought.

Li Miaoyue is also thinking deeply, in fact, with their family's savings, both shops can be sold, but the concept of saving as much as possible is included in the three views of every reliable banker.

After thinking for a while, Li Miaoyue said: "Actually, I think the second one is pretty good."

Li Shu also nodded: "That's true, the second one is much cheaper."

Li Miaoyue shook her head: "Father, this is only one of the advantages. The second point is that the old couple originally ran a liquor store and also sold some food. They have been in business for a long time, and there must be many regular customers. If we change After taking over, these old customers will show their face and take care of them out of habit, so this is our opportunity. Let’s look at the third point, since the old couple was taken by the children of the officials to enjoy the blessings, they are in a hurry Come out, we sold the store at this juncture, which can be regarded as having some relationship with this official, and it can also be regarded as expanding our personal network."

In this way, the advantages of old stores are actually great.

The rest of the Li family woke up like a dream, yes, there is still such a thing, if they can get in touch with the official, it will be a great benefit!This is not something that can be exchanged for a few taels of silver, and the old shop is even cheaper.

Li Miaoyue's words solved a big problem.

Li Shu's expression became much more relaxed: "Miaoya, you are still clever."

Li Miaoyue blushed slightly after being praised.

In this way, the Li family set up a wine shop on the old street, and it is also easy to renovate and decorate. The new house of the Li family has just been built, and Li Shu and the craftsmen in the town are still very familiar with it. Being able to call someone, I was shocked by the craftsmen who were invited to decorate. They are building a new house and setting up a shop in the town. The second room of the Li family is amazing!
Fortunately, these craftsmen have seen the world, and they have a good relationship with Li Shu, so they didn't gossip around the town.

However, Li Shu had trouble with another matter, which was what to call the store.

Nanyun Town is not a very affluent town, which also determines that the names of the shops in Nanyun Town do not have any technical or literary content. They are usually the names of a certain store of a certain family, which is very down-to-earth.

When Li Shu asked this question, Li Miaoyue, who had already learned some characters, was eager to try, but the shop names she came up with were all selected from the characters she knew, and what she was learning at this time were mostly poems. This is why Li Miaoyue's names are too literary and artistic. The average rough person probably doesn't know what it means, and it is really not suitable for a small restaurant in this small town.

But Lu Yuan is very reliable, but the proposed store names Li Shu also feel confusing, and they are in the same way as Li Miaoyue.

Didn't expect to be stuck here.

Just as the family was scratching their heads thinking about the name of the store, Li Fuyue added innocently: "Daddy, why don't we call it Haowei! Everyone knows it's a place to eat!"

This is indeed a good idea. Li Shu himself wanted such a straightforward store name, but Li Miaoyue felt that the name was too common, so Li Fuyue said again: "Can I change it to something else delicious?"

Li Miaoyue just felt a flash of inspiration, isn't the small restaurant just a catering business after all?Good taste is a bit too straightforward, why not call it good food!Li Miaoyue has always been a person who thinks about it, so she immediately told the rest of the family, and the rest of the Li family agreed, and Lu Yuan also gave an appropriate evaluation, which was neither vulgar nor high-minded.

That's how the name of the restaurant was decided.

And just as the wave fell, another thing happened again, that is, Yu Shi, who was pregnant, had an attack.

Yu's first child was told by the doctor that it was not easy to give birth, so the whole family took the tension very seriously. Yu's side just started to hurt, and Li Shu had already gone to Wen Po to come over there.

Li Yayue was boiling hot water in the kitchen room, and the weather in December made her head sweat. Li Miaoyue was very nervous, and she and Li Shu were always on standby outside the delivery room, afraid that Mrs. Wen would not be there when she sent someone. It was the first time that Li Fuyue, who had always been calm and composed, had seen such a tragic and bloody scene. Her already fair complexion was even paler at this moment. She tightly pinched the corner of her clothes, her pupils shrinking slightly.

It has always been said that giving birth to a woman is like wandering around the gates of hell. Li Fuyue received basic education in her previous life, and knew that there are many variables in giving birth to a woman, and in such an ancient society where production technology is particularly backward, giving birth to a woman is even crueler.

Li Fuyue looked at the blood that kept pouring out, and listened to Yu Shi's miserable cry in the room, what she could feel at the tip of her nose was the faint smell of blood that still lingered in the air during the cold months.This is the second time she has faced the cruelty of the feudal society.
