Chapter 101 - Pocket Money

At this time, Mrs. Lin had already boiled the water, but she couldn't reach the stove, so she could only let half of her head out. She had no choice but to let her grandma put the vermicelli into the pot like she did when she first arrived.

The starch took shape as soon as it was put into the boiling water, and white vermicelli rolled in the pot. Seeing this, Wang smiled happily and said: "It's done, it's done, it looks pretty good, and it looks really delicious!"

The three sisters-in-law also gathered around the pot, looking at the vermicelli in the pot, they all had smiles on their faces, as expected they got up early in the morning to get busy.

Strain the boiled potato noodles into a clean pot, then pour the mutton broth left over from last night into the pot and bring it to a boil, before pouring the potato noodles in and cooking them together for a few minutes, and a rich, warming meal of potato noodles in mutton broth will be ready.

Putting the mutton soup powder into the food basin, a big basin full of mutton soup powder, bringing the dishes into the hall, the others happened to have finished washing up, sitting at the dining table, looking at this big basin of mutton soup powder, swallowing their saliva.

The old man asked: "Is this the potato flour you made with potatoes last night?"

Mrs. Wang said: "Yes, try it and see how it tastes!"

Xiaoliu couldn't wait to taste the potato flour.

Mrs. Lin gave Xiaoliu a bowl and urged him to eat slowly and not to burn himself.

Xiaoliu picked up a stick of flour with chopsticks and blew it, then put it into his mouth and chewed it a few times. His eyes lit up and he mumbled out a few words: "Yummy, delicious!"

The others were no longer polite and began to use their chopsticks to put vermicelli in their bowls, scoop out a spoonful of mutton soup with meat, and began to eat happily.

Each and every one of them sucked the flour and made a "squeaking" sound without even raising their heads. From this, you can see how much the family likes to eat this potato flour.

The big bowl was really eaten clean, not even the soup was left.

The old man wiped his mouth, touched his stomach and said: "This powder suits my taste. It's soft, glutinous, smooth and chewy. It tastes really good. Wife, please make more next time. I haven't had enough!"

Mrs. Wang laughed and scolded: "You know how to choose. Although this flour is said to be easy to make, it takes time to make!"

Qibao suggested: "Grandma, we can make more, then carry it on bamboo sticks, dry it outside and store it. Next time you want to eat it, you can just take it out and cook it!"

Mrs. Wang said: "Can it still be dried? Not bad! Let's make more in the next few days and save some for the New Year!"

Mrs. Zhang agreed: "Yeah, I like the taste too. Let's make more of it. We don't have anything important to do at home anyway, so I just want to make more potato flour. If you want to eat it in the future, you can just grab it. It's convenient!"

Uncle Xu said: "It's getting late now. We have to send the children to school. If it's later, it will be too late!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law received the empty bowls and pots of food on the table into the kitchen to be cleaned, and the elder brother and the others all went to the academy, and in an instant the house was quite empty.

After cleaning up the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law four people began to continue to make potato flour. The two brothers, Xu and Lao, alternately helped with grinding. They made several large buckets and placed them in the kitchen to settle. Qibao saw that there were no mistakes in what they made, so she entered the space and started making pills.

...

Half a month later in the capital, in a low-key study full of scholarly atmosphere, Jing Chen was writing something unknown with a brush.

Ye Feng walked in, cupped his fists and saluted: "Master, there's a letter from Huamen Town!"

Jing Chen's eyes lit up slightly, he took the letter and opened it, and read the contents. He felt a little disappointed in his heart. After reading the letter, he told Ye Feng: "Notify me and ask the people in the pavilion to fully cooperate with Shopkeeper Tong. Does my cousin know about this?"

Ye Feng replied: "Young Master Su has been notified."

Jing Chen asked again: "Have you found out what I asked you to check?"

"My subordinates are incompetent and haven't found any clues."

Jing Chen was not disappointed, as if he had already guessed it, he nodded and said: "Get out!"

"Yes!"

Looking at the letter sent by shopkeeper Tong, everything about the Xu family's pill making has been written down in detail, including the girl's proposed share.

Jing Chen knew that the pill was probably made by that girl. It was probably because of the addition of water that the medicine was so amazingly effective.

He knew she was different, but he clearly wrote a letter to her, why didn't she reply...

......

Today is the day that Qi Chuyun came to Xu Jia Village to haul vegetables. The vegetables in the greenhouse are already covered with branches.

Xujiacun was busy again. The old man asked: "Brother Chu Yun, I wonder how these vegetables are sold in other restaurants?"

Qi Chuyun smiled and said: "To be honest, old man, I delivered vegetables to various restaurants, and I went to the capital last, so I rested for one night in the capital. The news had already spread that day, and there was an endless stream of customers who came to try them. When I left the next day, I heard from the shopkeeper that many officials or wealthy families sent servants to pack up some dishes for their families to try, because the restaurant couldn't accommodate them! So they had to send servants from home to pack them up and go back! "

The old man smiled and said: "That's good. I wonder if the vegetables were damaged when delivered?"

"It's not even close, it's sent over all watery and fresh like it's just been picked from the ground! Not to mention, that nutrient solution in your house is really impressive!"

The old man said: "Without that diamond, we wouldn't be able to do the porcelain work. This nutrient solution is precious! Brother, you must be careful!"

Qi Chuyun nodded solemnly, then took out the silver and said: "The vegetables are also loaded, I have to go deliver the vegetables earlier, this rush will take more than half a month at the earliest, so it's better to leave early."

The old man didn't stay long, watched the convoy go away, and handed the banknote he received to Wang.

Mrs. Wang happily counted the banknotes. This time there were three thousand taels more than last time, so she shouted loudly: "Daughters-in-law, come out quickly and give out your pocket money!"

When the three sisters-in-law heard the mother-in-law's shout, they walked out of the house with smiles on their faces.

Mrs. Wang said: "Everyone in the family has contributed. This time we have more money than last time, so each person is given fifty taels and keeps it for herself!"

The three brothers next to her heard that they had fifty taels. Xu Laosan rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Mom, my wife has fifty taels, do I have any? I also do a lot of work!"

"Yes, yes!" Two echoes came from behind.

Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes and said: "Well, you brothers have worked a little harder during this time, so let's do an extra five taels per person!"

Xu Erbo said anxiously: "Why did you give my wife 50 taels and give us 5 taels? Mother, isn't that too little?"

Mrs. Wang said angrily: "Okay, since you think it's too little, then don't ask for it. I won't give you even a tael. If you have the ability, go find your own wife and ask for it!"

As soon as the three brothers heard this, they stepped forward and took Wang's arm and said: "Mom, a lot, a lot, we want it!"

Wang snorted and said: "I did it for your own good, these men once they have money, they will become evil. You three should learn from your father, as long as your father took the silver back, never put it on his body to cover the heat, come home and give it to me for safekeeping!"

The old man blushed a little when he was told that. He coughed slightly and stopped Mrs. Wang from talking.

Mrs. Wang didn't say anything more, just to show respect to the old man, she counted fifteen taels of silver from her hand, distributed it to her three sons, and told them not to spend it arbitrarily...

The three brothers nodded bitterly.
