Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 56 Shop
Steaming skin and gluten is not troublesome to do, but the members of the Yuan family are ancients after all, and their ability to accept is not so strong, so it took Chunqiu a day to teach them all. Of course, there are also excellent performers here. , just like her eldest sister Yang Chunni, who can do it after just one pass. Sure enough, this is also very talented.

Her aunt is very good today, Chunqiu reckons it might be because of what her uncle said to her last night, which caused her aunt to behave very normally today, even Yuan Shi told her the ten-day cycle of each family, Gu Shi just nodded in response He said a word, but there was no rebuttal.

After handing over the Liangpi, what do you do next?
At the beginning of August, the late rice was about to be planted, so when everyone was done with the Liangpi, Mrs. Yang and Li called her to plant rice early the next morning. The rice seedlings were ready a few days ago, because the Yang family would meet in a few days He was very busy, and he didn't have the time to farm, so Mrs. Yang and Mr. Yang worked together to plant rice a few days in advance.

But this has nothing to do with Chunqiu, just when the adults of the Yang family were planting rice and the children were struggling to catch loach, Chunqiu was already on the bullock cart and on the way to the shop with Mrs. Yang and Li.

As for why?Or it was because of the decoration of the store. After all, it was just a grocery store opened by Gao Qing before. It didn't have the tables, chairs and layout of the restaurant, and there was no special thing for making Liangpi. For these.

The ox cart was delivered to the gate of Heishan Town, and Mrs. Yang and Li went back to Old Man Yang. After all, the ox cart was used to grow rice, and the grandparent and grandson walked into the city like this.

Because it was not the market time, there were not as many people in Heishan Town as before, but there were still all kinds of stalls on both sides of the street, and the voice of yelling was endless.

"Ma'am, come and try the sweet-scented osmanthus cake? This is fresh sweet-scented osmanthus cake, just out of the oven..."

"Little sister, do you want to buy some candy? This fruit candy is the favorite of your children. Auntie, buy some for my little sister. It's cheaper for you..."

"The new rouge powder is on sale, ladies and gentlemen, you can go to the shop behind and have a look, it's not expensive but it's easy to use..."

Chunqiu listened to the cries coming from his ears, and looked around curiously. Although his little hand was held tightly by Mrs. Yang Li and walked forward, he still couldn't stop Chunqiu's curiosity. There was a place to live in the shop, and the two of them There was no rush to go home.

Chunqiu looked up at Yang Lishi's side face, "Grandma, then shall we live in the town today?" Chunqiu thought in his heart that there are many things to do in the town, and it is really impossible to go back on the same day.

Li Shi Yang lowered her head and smiled when she heard this, and replied, "Yes, my dear granddaughter, don't be afraid, the shop is safe, and there are food shops around, we will go back when we finish the shop."

Chunqiu smiled and said, "Qiuer is not afraid"

"That's great, what does my granddaughter like to eat? Grandma will buy it for you later." Thinking of lunch, Mrs. Yang lowered her head and asked Chunqiu beside her.

Chunqiu thought for a while, looked at Yang Li and said, "You can eat anything, Qiu'er likes it all."

"Well, then let's go to the steamed stuffed bun shop next door and eat something first. Tonight, grandma will take you there to eat. How do you think?" Yang Lishi lowered his head and thought for a while, then remembered that there was a shop next to the Gao's shop. The steamed stuffed bun seller just happened to go to inquire about it, and it will be easy to get along with when the shop opens in the future.Mrs. Yang Li thinks a lot. The opening of the shop will have a certain impact on the surrounding pavements. They can't be united.
Chunqiu looked at her grandma's pensive look, nodded and said, "It's ok." Although she didn't know what her grandma was thinking, but her grandma was so smart, she would definitely not suffer.

"My dear granddaughter, look, we'll be there soon." Mrs. Yang and Li pointed at the intersection not far away, holding Chunqiu's hand tightly again, "My dear granddaughter, let's hurry up and wait until the shop is in the middle of the road." "Xiexie" It can be seen that Chunqiu is already exhausted, Yang Li can't help it, thinking about going faster and arriving earlier can rest.

Chunqiu wiped the sweat off his cheeks, gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely, "I know, grandma, let's go quickly." After Chunqiu finished speaking, he walked forward with his already sore legs.

Yang Li didn't speak, but put most of Chunqiu's weight on her body, and supported Chunqiu's shoulders with both hands.The two hurried forward as soon as possible, it was getting late, and there were still a lot of things to do in the afternoon, and Yang Li was also in a hurry.

Chunqiu couldn't walk a long time ago. After riding in a car for more than an hour, he walked from the edge of the town to the town again. His two short legs were so sore that he couldn't lift it up. Now he was dragged by Mrs. Yang and Li.

"Oh, dear granddaughter, what's the matter? I can't walk anymore? Grandma is on her back." Yang Li also noticed Chunqiu's abnormality, turned her head and squatted down with her back to Chunqiu, and said to Chunqiu with distress.

"No, Grandma, Qiu'er is fine, look, I'll be here soon." Chunqiu looked at her grandmother's thin body and shook his head, then pointed to the Gao's shop not far ahead.

"Are you all right?" Yang Li looked at Chunqiu's sweaty face, feeling a little distressed.

"It's okay, grandma, let's go quickly." Chunqiu wiped the sweat off his face with a smile, and helped Yang Lishi up from the ground. Her grandma is so old, how can she still carry her on her back.

"Okay, our grandparents and grandchildren will be able to rest after taking two quick steps." Mrs. Yang and Li saw that Chunqiu was sensible, so she didn't say anything, but smiled deeper.

Chunqiu responded, stretched out his hand to support Mrs. Yang and Li, and the grandfather and grandson walked forward...

The Gao’s grocery store was no different from when he came here before Chunqiu. Looking at the two locks locked in the store, Mrs. Yang and Li pulled out a bunch of keys from his waist, clicked forward a few times, and put the keys on the side. The doors and gates are all open.

"Good granddaughter, come in and have a rest, and then grandma will buy you food later." Yang Lishi pushed the door open and greeted Chunqiu with her hands back.

"Hey, here we come." Chunqiu ran in.

The layout of grocery stores is different from that of food stalls. When Chunqiu entered the door, he saw rows of shelves, but they were all empty. Not far from the door was a counter, which was used to keep accounts and collect money. Mrs. Yang and Li went to After entering the backyard, Chunqiu walked around the wall twice in his free time. After figuring out the layout of the entire shop, Chunqiu sat on a free stool beside him and began to think seriously.
First of all, if they want to eat, they must have tables, chairs and benches, and some necessary pots and pans cannot be missing.There are also sieves for making Liangpi, iron pans for steaming Liangpi, jars for seasoning and so on.On top of that, the kitchen in the backyard also needs a makeover.

When Mrs. Yang and Li came back from the backyard, she saw Chunqiu sitting on the stool in a daze, "My dear granddaughter, you must be hungry, so be good, don't worry, grandma will buy you steamed stuffed buns."

"Grandmother, our tables, chairs and benches can be customized at Uncle Wang's. Where can I buy the leftover jars?" Chunqiu looked at Mrs. Yang and Li, wondering where he could buy so many jars.

"Go to the alley at the back, there's something for sale there, let's go there after we finish eating. Don't worry, dear granddaughter." After Yang Li finished speaking, she turned to the next door after leaving the door.

Next to Gao's grocery store is an early morning shop, which only sells morning and noon meals. When Yang and Li came here, it was time for meals, and the shop was very busy.Yang Li stood in line in the crowd.When she arrived, he smiled and said to the woman selling buns, "I'm busy, lady boss, here are five buns."

"Hey, take it away or eat here, do you want meat or vegetable stuffing?" The woman was dressed in blue flower rags and wrapped her head in a square scarf. Put a bowl on the table.

"Five meat buns, take them away, we're next door." Mrs. Yang smiled and pointed to the shop beside her.

"Hey, you are new here next door, so we can be neighbors in the future. Let me know, what kind of business are you going to do?" The woman asked casually while picking up buns from the cage.

"Sell some cold noodles, it's easy to sell in summer now." Yang Li's face was wrinkled with a smile.

"Cold noodles? That's really good. This business is easy to do. We don't have any around here. You look a little older than me, so I'll take advantage of it and call Big Sister, Big Sister, this is your steamed stuffed bun. Don't worry about returning the bowl." Come and sit down when you have time." The woman smiled even brighter after hearing what Yang Li said, and after a while, she called Yang Li's sister.

When Mrs. Yang came back, she was holding a bowl in one hand. Chunqiu saw it and hurried up to greet her. Mrs. Yang handed the extra one to Chunqiu, and the two of them sat on the stool beside them and started eating .

Chunqiu didn't eat much, and he was full after eating two. Seeing that there was one bun left in the bowl, he picked it up and handed it to Yang Lishi.

"Good granddaughter, don't you want to eat?" Mrs. Yang and Li looked down at the buns in the bowl.

"Grandma, I'm full, I'll give it to you," Chunqiu said with a smile.

"By the way, good granddaughter, grandma has already cleaned up all the houses in the backyard, and then good granddaughter can live directly." Yang Li looked at Chunqiu with a smile.

"Grandma, eat quickly." Chunqiu pointed to the steaming steamed buns in the bowl, signaling her to eat.

"Hey, grandma, let's eat now." Yang Lishi smiled all over her face, picked up the buns in the bowl and put them in her mouth...

After lunch, the two fell asleep feeling sleepy. After they woke up, they got dressed and locked the shop, ready to go out.

The Wang family iron shop has not changed from the previous Spring and Autumn period, except that the person who opened the door this time is not the young man before, but a kind middle-aged woman in a blue dress.

The middle-aged woman opened the door calmly at first, but when she looked up and saw Mrs. Yang and Li, she became enthusiastic and greeted with a smile, "Oh, isn't this Aunt Li? Why is Auntie still free to come over today?" Already? It’s a rare visitor.”

"Oh, so the sister of the Wang family is at home? It's not a rare visitor. My aunt is going to ask Master Wang to help me fix some tables, chairs and benches. By the way, is Master Wang at home?" Yang Li said with a smile, and looked inside glanced.

"I'm here, I'm here, look at my memory, come in quickly, auntie." After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she made a way in front of the door and let Mrs. Yang and Li pass by.

When Chunqiu entered, the woman took a look at Chunqiu, raised her head and said to Mrs. Yang and Li in front, "Oh, this is my aunt's granddaughter, she looks really good."

"Yes, yes, she's so cute, I like my wife too." Hearing the woman's words, Mrs. Yang and Li showed a chrysanthemum face, and her smile was so bright.The two women just praised each other one by one, and Chunqiu pretended to be dead. Anyway, she couldn't intervene in the conversation of this kind of elder.

Compared with the previous one, the corridor this time looks much cleaner, and there are not so many irons and woods. The few people walked quite easily. After seeing an open area, the few people went to the yard.

"Old Wang, Auntie is here" the woman yelled inside, then she turned her head and explained to Mrs. Yang and Li with a smile, "Old Wang is making a pear branch wooden bed for Landlord Wu's house in the house, and he needs it urgently."

"It's okay, it's okay, Auntie is not in a hurry." Yang Li waved his hand.

"Hey, if you don't say that my aunt is sensible and understands us. Auntie, sit down for a while, Lao Wang will come out in a while." After the woman finished speaking, she moved two stools to Yang, Li and Chunqiu.

"Hey, we'll just wait a while, girl, let's go get busy." Sitting on a stool, Yang Li said to the woman beside her.

"That's all right, auntie, I'm going to help too, don't worry." After the woman finished speaking, she also left in a hurry. It is estimated that there are many things this time.

The two of them didn't wait long before the door opened. Chunqiu looked at Master Wang who was not far away, with the obvious blue and red blood under his eyes, he knew that the other party hadn't rested for a long time.

"Aunt Li is here. I've been busy recently, and I haven't entertained you well. I hope Aunt Li will forgive me. What is Aunt Li trying to do?" Master Wang sat down across from the two of them.

"It's okay, we want to make eight tables, and the chairs are enough. It's just a square one like a restaurant." After Yang Li gestured, he glanced at Chunqiu, and Chunqiu hurriedly continued, "It's still two." The flat-bottomed iron pot has the same area as the pot at home, and there are three sieves before, and a strainer and some..." After Chunqiu finished speaking, Yang Li said with a smile, "There are only so many for now, you don't have to worry , a few days later is fine."

"Then I'll thank you, auntie. Hehe, if that's the case, come over in seven days." Master Wang lowered his head to make an estimate, and gave Mrs. Yang and Li an approximate time.

"Okay, then I'll come back in seven days. This is 300 Wen, the deposit." Mrs. Yang Li took out a small rag from his pocket, opened it, and handed the copper plate inside to Master Wang who was beside him.

"Hey, okay, take your time, auntie." Master Wang sent Yang and Li out of the blacksmith shop and said standing at the door.

"Let's go back." Yang Li stood at the door and waved his hands, pulled Chunqiu who was beside him and left.

"Grandma, where are we going next?" Chunqiu tilted his head and looked at Mrs. Yang and Li.

"Go to West Alley, there are a lot of bowls and jars sold there, and then we can buy them all in one go." Mrs. Yang and Li pulled Chunqiu to the west.

West Alley is not an alley, but an open-air market located on the west side, and most of them are vendors selling pots and pans, so it is called West Alley after going back and forth.

The two of Chunqiu came not early, many vendors in the west alley were already closing their stalls, Yang and Li didn't care about the vendors around, just dragged Chunqiu straight to a small stall inside.

"Have you confiscated the stall yet?" Mrs. Yang and Li greeted a young man who seemed to be a bit mischievous.

"Hey, isn't this Aunt Li? When I saw the magpie announcing the good news today, I knew my aunt was coming. How dare my nephew close the stall? Isn't this waiting for my aunt to come?" The young man looked at Yang and Li with a brisk tone, and said An aunt shouted, say good things without money.

"Don't be so talkative, I'm talking about Da Zhuzi, if you do this again, I'll go back and talk to your mother." Yang Li felt relieved when she heard this, but she threatened him with a straight face.

"Oh, I said auntie, isn't this Zhesha's nephew? If you tell my mother, my mother will have to whip my skin..." The young man showed a bitter face and looked at Yang and Li pitifully.

"Pfft..." Chunqiu beside him couldn't help laughing after being teased by him.

Hearing the laughter, the young man noticed Chunqiu next to Mrs. Yang and Li, and said curiously, "Oh, this is not Qiu'er's niece, she has grown up so much, she really looks like my second sister-in-law, she looks so pretty." ,hey-hey"

"Okay, I'm not doing anything right. Auntie is here to buy things. Tomorrow, take me to the Gao's grocery store." Yang Li glanced at the young man before revealing her purpose.

"Auntie is here to take care of my nephew's business? My nephew will definitely deliver it tomorrow." The young man looked at Mrs. Yang and Li with a smile on his face.

"Okay, hurry up and work." Mrs. Yang and Li didn't hold back, and were also happy.

"Qiu'er, this is the pillar of your third grandfather's family, the youngest son, you can just call him Uncle." Yang Li explained to Chunqiu.

"Hey, I know." Chunqiu nodded, thinking that he was the child of the third grandpa's family, Chunqiu looked at the lively person in front of him, he was really lively.

"Auntie, these are all, which one do you want?" Da Zhuzi took out all the bowls that had been put away and placed them on the ground.

"Well, for this kind of half-sized one, you need 100 first, and then this kind of one that is a circle larger than it, and then you get 100, and then you get 20 of this kind of jar, matching chopsticks, and 15 for the pot. If you want these, and if you don’t have enough, come to my uncle to get them.” Chunqiu calculated it, and said it according to his own prediction.

Dazhuzi glanced at Mrs. Yang and Li when he heard it, and nodded when he saw Mrs. Yang and said, "That's okay, these are not enough today, so I'll send them over before Si time tomorrow."

Yang Li nodded and said, "Well, let's do this first. I will give you the money when it is delivered tomorrow. Auntie is leaving first. Remember to go home and see your mother when you are free. Your mother said she missed you before."

"Hey, go slowly, auntie, go slowly, Qiu'er and niece." Chunqiu looked back at the uncle who was waving at the booth, smiled and waved, then turned around and walked back.

In the evening, the two of them ate Huan Huan at the side stall, because there was no rice noodles in the shop, and Mrs. Yang and Li couldn't cook, so the grandparent and grandson simply ate outside before coming back.

When Chunqiu was lying on the bed at night, she was still a little unbelievable. She didn't expect that she would even open a shop in less than half a year after her arrival. Their family's life will definitely become more and more prosperous in the future!

Because she was really tired yesterday, Chunqiu fell asleep until the sun was high, and when Chunqiu came out rubbing her eyes and yawning, her uncle had already delivered the things.Standing at the door, Chunqiu saw Mrs. Yang and Li were arranging and holding the bowls and chopsticks.

"Grandma, what are you doing today?" After Chunqiu finished speaking, he yawned again, oops, I'm really tired.

"Well, the person who will change the stove will come later, let's change the stove, and then put those useless shelves in the front in the backyard, it's almost done, let's go home tomorrow" Yang Li explained, and then Then moved the dishes.

"Grandma, I'll help you," Chunqiu said, then picked up the bowls and chopsticks and walked to the back kitchen.

Just after noon, two people came to repair the stove, Mrs. Yang and Li led them to the kitchen, and Chunqiu talked about some ideas for the renovation of the stove, and then the two officially started working, and they left with 100 Wen At that time, it was already unitary time, that is, around five o'clock in the afternoon, and Mrs. Yang and Li cleaned up the stove again before they were done.

By the time the third night came home from the ox cart, Chunqiu didn't want to move at all, he was so tired!
Mrs. Yang and Li also felt sorry for Chunqiu, so she was happy to buy delicious food for Chunqiu in the town these two days, and when she went back, she asked old man Yang to hurry up, for fear of making her good granddaughter look bad.

When the two arrived home, the sky was already full of stars, Chunqiu rubbed his sore legs and got out of the car, and was directly carried back to the house by her father.

Mrs. Yuan was in the room. Seeing her daughter being carried back, she quickly reached out to take Chunqiu from Yang Weibo's hand, and laid her flat on the kang. After calling her up, he took the quilt aside and covered him, stroked Chunqiu's hair distressedly, and motioned to the tiger beside him not to disturb Chunqiu, and then continued to work...

　Thank you Meimei Yang for your reward~
