Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 234 Business

"Mother, who are they?"

As soon as Yuan Shi entered the door, she was blocked by Chunqiu's question.

Yuan Shi was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a complicated expression, "Children, what are you asking about? Take a break, I don't know who kept yelling at noon and was tired."

Yuan did not answer Chunqiu's words directly, but said something else.

If this is an ordinary child, he might be distracted, but he is not young. Although she understands the meaning of her mother's words, she is very helpless. After all, her mother doesn't want to say it, even if she asks, she can't ask. Come out.

Thinking about this, Chunqiu replied with a negative attitude, "Mother, I know" these few words were weak.

Yuan Shi looked helplessly at her pouting daughter, wondering why her daughter likes to inquire so much, but just now... Yuan Shi's thoughts turned wildly, and she turned and went up to the second floor.

In the morning, almost all the people came. In the afternoon, there were not many people in Meiyan Pavilion. Seeing that there were few people, Yang Meijuan had already returned home. Now only one child, Chunqiu, was busy on the first floor, but fortunately she was alone. People can cope with the people who come in from time to time.

When Chunqiu was busy on the first floor, many people came to the second floor, but those who came were usually middle-aged ladies, the kind of legendary boudoir lady, Chunqiu really didn't see it.

"...Welcome to come again next time" Chunqiu showed a standard smile and stood at the door of Meiyan Pavilion watching the last guest leave.

"Qiu'er, pack up, let's go home." Yuan Shi came down from the second floor, and opened her mouth to greet Chunqiu who was beside her to leave.

Chunqiu turned around and said with a smile, "Mother, what shall we eat today?"

"Huh? Little clever ghost" Yuan Shi smiled at Chunqiu, "What do you want to eat? Buy all of them back today." Yuan Shi still doesn't know the little girl's thoughts, and she probably got greedy for something from another Alright.

After being touched by her mother, Chunqiu directly opened the corner of his mouth, "Mother, I want to eat Wang Ji roast duck. I heard that today, Master Wang cooks it himself, and the cooking is delicious." The woman said that the woman had just come out from Wang Ji's place, and she was still holding the fragrant roast duck in her hand.

Chunqiu was already hungry, and smelled the aroma of roast duck, so he couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly inquired with the woman, and finally found out about these things.

"Mom, let's go, we'll be fine if we go late"

Chunqiu is now full of roast duck, and his tone of voice is a little urgent.

Yuan Shi nodded Chunqiu's small nose, and said with doting eyes, "Okay, okay, okay, let's go, my mother will be sad if I don't go too late."

"Hehehe, mother, it's a little itchy." Chunqiu hid from her mother's palm with a smile, and rubbed the tip of her itchy nose vigorously.

"Okay, didn't you leave anything behind?" Yuan patted Chunqiu's small shoulder, and looked into the shop before locking the door.

Chunqiu shook his head, "No, I have all the clothes and pastries." Looking at the remaining pastries in his hand, Chunqiu was in a great mood, not only had roast duck to eat today, but also pastries.

Yuan Shi directly locked the door of the shop, put the key into her bosom, Yuan Shi put on the clothes in Chunqiu's bosom, then took the pastry in Chunqiu's hand and pulled Chunqiu to go home.

Wangji Roast Duck is on the same street as Meiyan Pavilion. When the mother and daughter arrived, the door had not yet closed. Yuan Shi dragged Chunqiu in and bought the remaining two roast ducks along the way.

The roasted duck made by Master Wang has thin and crispy skin, delicious meat, and moderate fatness. I heard that this is a family handed down skill for many years. In Chunqiu’s previous life, he was also a person who had eaten Peking duck. Compared with the two sides, it is actually comparable. Sure enough, In terms of studying food, the wisdom of the ancients is infinite.

After returning, Yuan Shi deliberately cut the two roast ducks into slices with a kitchen knife, and put them on a plate for the convenience of Spring and Autumn and Huzi.

Chunqiu took out his special bean paste from the kitchen, poured some into a bowl, and ate as he dipped.

After dinner, Huzi went to study in the study room. Before leaving, his mother Yuan Shi stuffed a bag of pastries, saying that he would eat some cushions when he was tired from studying. Huzi was very happy when he heard that, and cheered Holding the pastry, he ran out the door.

Chunqiu watched the tigers go away, and she also planned to go back to her room to rest. Although she also rested for a while at noon today, she was still a little tired after all.

As a result, as soon as Chunqiu reached the door, she was called back by her mother, Yuan Shi. While cleaning up the dishes on the table, Yuan Shi turned her back to Chunqiu and said, "Niu Niu, go to your mother's room. Let's check today's account book." right"

Chunqiu turned around, thinking about the ointment sold at Meiyan Pavilion today, and just wanted to talk to her mother, Chunqiu immediately responded, telling her mother that she would go first, then turned and left.

When Yuan Shi entered the room, Chunqiu was lying on the table bored laughing, greeting her mother with tears in his eyes, Chunqiu straightened up and stretched himself.

Yuan Shi saw the sleepy little eyes of her daughter, and said distressedly, "Niu Niu, are you tired? Go back and rest, it's fine for the mother to come here by herself."

Chunqiu smiled, and comforted, "It's okay, mother, we two can hurry up." After saying this, Chunqiu stretched out his hand to cover his lips, for fear of yawning.

"...Okay, let's finish checking soon." Yuan didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out the account book of Meiyan Pavilion from the side, and took out an abacus from the cabinet at the side.

Chunqiu knew characters at the age of five, and now he is eight years old. Chunqiu almost knows all the simple simplified characters in ancient times. Like the words on the account book, Chunqiu can read them out. The mother and daughter read and calculate alone. Soon, today's The bills for Beauty Pavilion are all out.

Chunqiu closed the account book, glanced at her mother's abacus, and asked, "Mother, how much did we earn today?"

Thinking of the several boxes sold short today, Chunqiu felt that the income must be quite a lot today.

Sure enough, her mother spat out a number, which shocked Chunqiu. Chunqiu's eyes widened, with an unbelievable expression on his face, "Mother, what you said is true? Are there really so many?" Chunqiu covered his mouth, He whispered like a thief.

Yuan Shi nodded, "Well, but it's only today, after a while, it won't be sold." Yuan Shi restored the beads of the abacus to normal and put them aside.

"Mom, I took a look today. Our shop sells the most mid-range ointments, shall we make more in two days?" Chunqiu originally thought that low-end ointments would sell the most, but he didn't think so. The best one was the mid-range ointment, which sold two more wooden boxes than the cream.

Yuan Shi said, "Okay, the ointment in the shop can last for two days, and your father will come back in just two days, and ask him to bring two carts of flower petals, and the ointment can't be made without flower petals."

Chunqiu said again, "Mmm, mother..."

The mother and daughter talked about taking the ointment for a long time, until Chunqiu couldn't control it and yawned several times in a row, and then she was sent back to the room to sleep by her mother...
