Chapter 101 -
Sending off the families of the two guys, Nian Xiaomi was furious!
He kicked over the vegetable basket on the ground.
"Eighty percent of it is Yan Lao Si who did it!"
Yan Lao Si is Yan Mo's fourth uncle, the owner of Yan's Restaurant in Haizhou City.
Yan Mo pulled him back.
"Daughter-in-law, don't get angry, or you will hurt yourself. Open the door to welcome guests first, and I will solve it."
Nian Xiaomi opened the store door and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I'll go out first, don't worry."
Yan Mo smiled and said, handsome and handsome.
"Then you must be careful and teach them a lesson this time."
Nian Xiaomi wasn't very worried about Yan Mo's skills.
Yan Mo nodded and left in a hurry.
Nian Xiaomi glanced at Liu San who was washing vegetables, "San'er, are you scared?"
Liu San chuckled and threw the vegetables into the vegetable basket.
"I have nothing to fear. I don't know the formula. There are only two bosses who know the formula."
Nian Xiaomi nodded, thought for a moment and said:
"In case someone troubles you in the future, you can push it on us and let them come to me and the little boss."
Since the opening of the store, he and Yan Mo have personally handled all the core formulas, and none of the three shop assistants knew about them.
"Okay, but... Tian Wu and Wang Fulai are not here today, I'm afraid there are not enough people."
Just as he was talking, a "moo" sound came.
Xiaoyong and Gu Yunfeng jumped off the bullock cart.
"Why are you here? Didn't you go to the fishing ground to help?" Nian Xiaomi asked in surprise.
"There's nothing going on in the fishing ground for the time being, but when my brother's shop just opened, Sister Lanhua asked us to come and help." Xiaoyong laughed.
Nian Xiaomi told him about the beating of the buddy.
Gu Yunfeng picked up the wooden stick in the corner and was about to go out, but was stopped by Nian Xiaomi.
"It's a different village here, so be careful. You can go and help elder brother, but be careful not to kill anyone. Your elder brother should be at Yan's Restaurant opposite shopkeeper Xue."
Xiaoyong also wanted to follow, Nian Xiaomi smiled and said, "Don't go, stay and help."
About an hour later, Yan Mo and Gu Yunfeng came back smiling.
Nian Xiaomi had the bottom line in her mind, but she still asked:
"How is it?
"It's resolved."
"It's all resolved?"
Xiaoyong and Liu San also looked over curiously.
Yan Mo nodded.
"How did you solve it?" Nian Xiaomi asked.
Yan Mo smiled without saying a word, sitting down and holding the fish balls.
"How did you solve it?"
Nian Xiaomi's curiosity was aroused, like being scratched by a cat.
Yan Mo still didn't say anything.
Gu Yunfeng said with a bald mouth:
"I stopped his fourth uncle at the entrance of the alley and beat him up!"
……
Business is still brisk on this day.
Before the evening, all the ingredients were used up, and the store was closed.
Nian Xiaomi and Yan Mo planned to visit two shop assistants, so Xiaoyong and Gu Yunfeng were asked to go back first.
By the time the visit was over, it was already dark.
The moonlight shines on the country road, soft and light.
Nian Xiaomi suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Is it my illusion? Why do I feel that someone is following the donkey cart?"
He and Yan Mo are the only ones on the country road at this moment.
The dark dense forests on both sides were silent, and the owl's crowing sounded occasionally, which was indeed a bit intrusive.
"There is someone." Yan Mo said calmly.
Nian Xiaomi was shocked.
"People who covet the secret recipe?"
"don’t worry."
Yan Mo pressed his hand lightly, pulled the rein, and the donkey stopped.
The sound of the wheels rolling disappeared.
It was quieter under the night sky, which seemed a little weird.
A gust of night wind blew, and Nian Xiaomi couldn't help shivering.
Yan Mo motioned him to stay in the car, while he jumped out of the car lightly, walked to the middle of the road, and looked behind.
Nian Xiaomi suddenly thought of scenes from previous martial arts TV dramas:
The moon was dark and the wind was high, a martial arts master was standing in the middle of the road, suddenly several men in black flew out from both sides...
Seeing Yan Mo's calm expression, Nian Xiaomi was relieved.
Finally, footsteps came from behind.
Nian Xiaomi looked back and saw four burly men approaching quickly with the wooden stick in their hands.
Seeing Yan Mo standing in the middle of the road but not running away, the four of them looked at each other.
After a moment of hesitation, several people stopped not far away.
"The two people in front, I think you also know why we came here. If you are wise, hand over the secret recipe and let you live!"
One of them threatened with a stick.
Nian Xiaomi understood that this group of people should be the murderers who hurt the shop assistant.
Needless to say, it must have been sent by Yan Laosi.
Yan Mo's figure flashed, and Nian Xiaomi heard a scream before he could see the movement clearly.
Rubbing and looking.
The big man who had just uttered wild words just now knelt softly on the ground, his face twisted in pain, and the stick flew into the distance.
Nian Xiaomi looked at Yan Mo approvingly.
I saw him wiping his nose and flicking his long hair, very arrogant.
Yan Mo lives alone in the mountains, and has long practiced martial arts so that he can defend himself against wild beasts.
Coupled with Nian Xiaomi's massage and infusion of spiritual energy later, his strength and resistance greatly increased, making him even more powerful.
The remaining three people panicked and did not dare to go forward for a while.
While hesitating, Yan Mo tapped his feet lightly, and the man flew forward.
There is no specific description of the subsequent screen...
(After all, it is a farming novel, not a martial arts fantasy novel, and Da Da does not like martial arts scenes of fighting and killing...)
All three lay on the ground, hugging their heads and howling.
Nian Xiaomi got out of the car and came to the leader.
Kneeling down, he asked coldly: "Did Yan Xuehai send you here? Last time my two buddies were also beaten by you?"
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yan Mo geared up and stepped forward again.
He just nodded quickly...
After finishing the four guys, Yan Mo continued to drive.
"Daughter-in-law, why don't we hire an accountant? Then we won't have to work so hard every day in the future."
Seeing Nian Xiaomi falling into his arms so sleepy, Yan Mo said distressedly.
He still likes to see Nian Xiaomi galloping freely in the fields and leaping over the mountains and grasslands.
I don't want to see him dealing with oil fumes every day, trapped in a small shop.
Nian Xiaomi hesitated.
"It's not that I'm reluctant to hire someone, it's just... what if the accountant is greedy for money?"
"Sell yourself a contract." Yan Mo said indifferently.
Nian Xiaomi was taken aback.
What?
A contract of sale?
He stared blankly at Yan Mo for a long time.
What is he thinking?Can you think of such a thing?
However, it was soon relieved.
This is an ancient feudal society, and selling one's body is too normal.
So Nian Xiaomi went to do as the Romans did, no longer hypocritical, no longer thinking about human rights and freedom.
"Then hire someone, oh no... buy an accountant, and we'll just come over every two weeks."
Yan Mo said with a smile: "That's right, besides, the autumn harvest and planting will soon be over, and Yunfeng's marriage has to be taken care of."
Although there are fishing grounds and shops, the inherent thinking of the ancients still requires farming.
Farming is like social security and medical insurance for modern people, which will give people a sense of security.
Nian Xiaomi nodded.
"In the future, the ingredients will be packaged separately and delivered once every half a month."
The next day, the two went to the dental office and hired a man in his 20s.
This person is called Jiang Dong, with a gentle personality, can write and count, and looks extremely simple and honest.
It's just that anyone who can read is not cheap.
Nian Xiaomi finally spent 20 taels of silver to get Jiang Dong's contract of selling himself.
Nian Xiaomi also observed secretly for a few days. This Jiang Dong was heavy and careful, he was methodical, and he was very responsible. He would often help Liu San with work.
Nian Xiaomi was completely relieved, and handed over the store key to him, and asked him to be a part-time shopkeeper and responsible for the purchases.
Jiang Dong is very grateful to his boss for his trust and reuse. Since then, he has been more serious and responsible in his work.
Nian Xiaomi and Yan Mo completely let go.
He returned to his once free life.
They only came for ten days and half a month to deliver the seasoning packets, to look at the books and so on.
After Tian Wu and Wang Fulai recovered from their injuries, he hired another assistant.
However, this person was born in martial arts, he is a trainer, he is full of tendons, and his martial arts are also strong.
In addition to doing odd jobs, he is also responsible for the security of the store.
So far, with a cashier and four assistants, Nian Xiaomi's store has started to get on the right track.
Of course, he also gathered strong men such as Sister Lanhua, and came to Fourth Uncle Yan Mo's restaurant.
Not much nonsense!
Just hit the door!
The whole restaurant was smashed to pieces.
Yan Laosi reported to the official!
Fortunately, Nian Xiaomi and the governor are already very familiar (often giving some silver taels, which is regarded as bribery...).
Yan Laosi suffered from being dumb, and the restaurant never recovered.
On the days when she doesn't go to the store, Nian Xiaomi still stays at home, writing a plan to make a fortune in the future.
And the family was extremely happy to see him at leisure again.
Because he has time to make novel ingredients again, so that his family can feast on it.
On this day, he came to the pond in the backyard.
The pond in summer has become a beautiful landscape of Nianjia.
Nian Xiaomi also has deep memories of the pond.
Because there is also a pond in front of his hometown.
On hot summer days, Nian Xiaomi often jumped into the pond, chasing small fish, catching frogs, picking lotus pods, digging lotus roots, picking lotus leaves, and picking lotus flowers...
That's why when planning a new home, he first thought of building a big pond.
At this moment, the rippling pond is full of beautiful lotus flowers.
Nian Xiaomi thought of a delicacy that is very suitable for drinking in summer - lotus leaf porridge.
"Hmm! At noon today, I will use both lotus leaves and lotus root dew in the pond!"
Picking lotus leaves is very particular. If the lotus leaves are too tender, they will not have a clear fragrance, and if they are too old, they will be bitter.
Therefore, what Nian Xiaomi picks is round lotus leaves that are moderately old and tender, with clear veins.
In addition to the lotus leaves, he also went down to the shallow pond area and dug a few lotus roots.
Go back to the yard and clean it up.
After the rice is washed, put in water, cover the lotus leaf directly, close the stove door after boiling on high heat, and cook on low heat.
The steam scents the lotus leaves, and the stove will soon be filled with a faint lotus fragrance, and the lotus leaves will turn from green to yellow and become soft and floppy.
When the porridge boils, it will naturally be dyed a beautiful yellow-green color.
After the lotus leaf porridge is cooked, it is fragrant and refreshing, with a light green color and a slight sweetness. Drinking it is very refreshing and refreshing.
In addition to lotus leaf porridge, the remaining lotus leaf Nianxiao rice is also used.
Fish out the frozen broiler chicken from the well, remove the chicken skeleton and split it in half.
Sprinkle with soy sauce and other seasonings and marinate for half an hour.
Aunt Liu couldn't help asking: "Is this braised in soy sauce?"
Nian Xiaomi smiled and said, "No, I'm making lotus leaf chicken today."
"Chicken in lotus leaf?"
The name is very novel, but I don't know how it tastes.
When the chicken is marinated, deep-fry in oil pan until golden brown, take out and wrap in lotus leaves, put it in a stew pot and simmer.
"At this time, you must add sugar and seasoning, otherwise it will be bitter after cooking." Nian Xiaomi explained while cooking.
When fully cooked, this summer vegetable has a tangy lotus aroma, crispy, tender meat and a delicious taste.
Next came the lotus root.
There are many ways to eat lotus root. Nian Xiaomi’s favorites are stewed pork ribs with lotus root, braised pork trotters with lotus root, glutinous rice balls with lotus root and lotus root powder.
Today, I have made lotus leaf chicken. Nian Xiaomi gave up greasy ingredients such as pork ribs and made a soft, glutinous and fragrant lotus root glutinous rice ball.
At noon, these delicacies made of lotus leaves and lotus roots once again beautified the stomachs of the family and warmed the hearts of the family.
Nian Xiaomi drank lotus leaf porridge and ate lotus root balls, and couldn't help but sigh, how lucky she was to be reborn in the countryside!
Because I lived in a concrete city in my previous life, it is difficult to see the lotus pond full of green and fragrant flowers.
After lunch, it was time for the sun to shine on the earth.
The family members have taken a nap, but the children are unwilling to take a nap.
Yan Shubai's private school is tentatively scheduled to start after autumn, and he and his younger brother also moved from the boring woodshed to the ancestral hall.
Even though Nian Xiaomi repeatedly asked the two brothers to move to the courtyard, Yan Shubai was always stubborn and refused.
He always felt like he was going to move there, like marrying into a family...
It seems that his traditional concept has not completely changed.
However, Nian Xiaomi insisted that the two brothers come over for dinner.
Therefore, Yan Mantang also joined the army of Nian's children.
Yuhu is naturally the king of children, besides Mantang, Ergouzi from the Tong family and Huahua, the little girl adopted by craftsman Xie Yongqiang.
The five little guys sneaked out of the yard and came to the lotus field in the village.
The three boys grabbed a few bamboo sticks, hooked a touch of light green, and pressed them to the ground.
Then, with a dexterous tap, taking advantage of the swaying branches and leaves, he struck with a pole, and the lotus pod like a small bowl fell to the ground.
Then they let go of the bamboo sticks and looked for the next target again.
Niuniu and Huahua squatted on the ground and put the lotus pods in the basket.
They laughed, danced, and were as happy as a group of elves.
At noon, I harvested a large basket of lotus pods.
Blissfully peeled off the lotus pod, revealing the lotus seeds, then pinched the flesh of Bai Shengsheng, picked out Lianxin, and put it in his mouth.
When they are full, they always keep a few in the pillowcase at the head of the bed.
At night, I fell asleep soundly with the fresh lotus fragrance.
These are the fun that children in the city can't enjoy...
On the second day, just after dawn, Yan Mo got up.
He kissed Nian Xiaomi who was still asleep, and then went into the city.
The strange thing is that today he didn't drive, but went to ride in Lao Li's ox cart.
until just before lunch.
Nian Xiaomi, who was picking vegetables in the vegetable garden, suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes from a distance outside.
"Miss Yourong is here."
He smiled and got up and walked out of the yard to meet him.
Looking around, I saw a handsome man in a blue short shirt, riding a bay red horse, coming from the front.
When the man saw him, the corners of his mouth became wider and wider, his eyes were as gentle as pools of water, and he was so handsome that people couldn't help but fall in love.
It's Yan Mo!
Immediately, he was full of heroism and full of energy.
The horse's hair is all red, without a trace of variegation, smooth and shiny like silk.
Nian Xiaomi ran forward happily.
Yan Mo pulled the reins, and the horse neighed and stopped firmly.
"Did you buy the horse?"
Nian Xiaomi had wanted a fine horse for a long time, so it would be much faster to enter the city.
He stroked the horse's mane excitedly, ecstatic in his heart.
What is a horse in this world?
The horse is comparable to the BMW and Mercedes-Benz in the previous life!
"Ah."
Yan Moli got off his horse and handed him the whip.
The horsewhip was woven by Yan Mo himself from tree bark, and it was tanned very soft.
"What you've been messing with these days is the horsewhip?" Nian Xiaomi exclaimed.
There is a wooden handle under the whip. Nian Xiaomi looked at it casually and found three small characters engraved on it.
"Gift to my beloved wife".
He smiled sweetly, and his heart was like a honey jar being knocked over.
His bright smile made Yan Mo's mood bright.
"do you like it?"
"I like it." Nian Xiaomi said with a smile.
However, he soon thought of the real problem.
"How much does it cost? Do you have private money?"
Yan Mo shook his head, "100 taels of silver, but it didn't cost us our own money."
After speaking, he took out another 100 taels and handed it to Nian Xiaomi.
Looking at the huge sum of money, Nian Xiaomi was completely confused.
"What's going on?"
At this time, several children ran out excitedly when they heard the sound, and were very excited around the horse.
Yan Mo scratched his head and said:
"Today, I went to the store to deliver materials, and suddenly a few people in official uniforms came. I heard they were from the capital! They dropped 200 taels of silver for no reason!"
"What?!" Nian Xiaomi could not close her mouth in surprise.
"Did they...didn't say anything?"
Yan Mo scratched his head again, "Say, what are you talking about... Take good care of the little boar... Our family didn't buy a boar..."
"Little boar? Pooh! Is it the little princess?"
"I asked again later, but they left without saying anything."
Nian Xiaomi fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, he turned his gaze to Niu Niu.
Is it!
Could it be that the princess they were talking about was actually Niuniu...
Niuniu is the daughter of the current emperor or which prince?
But there is no such possibility!
If they knew that Niu Niu was a princess, why didn't they take her away...
Nian Xiaomi's brain is getting bigger.
It was Yan Mo who interrupted his thoughts.
"You mentioned several times that you want a carriage. I had planned to buy a horse for a long time. It just so happened that I got 200 taels today, so I decided to buy a horse myself."
When Nian Xiaomi heard about it, she didn't blame him.
Although the horses are super expensive, the money is also a fortune from heaven, just like buying a lottery ticket.
As for whether Niuniu is a princess or not, he didn't think about it.
The only thing he was worried about was, if one day, officers and soldiers really came to the house and took Niuniu away, what should I do...
Yan Mo got on his horse and stretched out his hand to him.
Nian Xiaomi handed him her hand, Yan Mo pulled it lightly, and supported his waist with the other hand, Nian Xiaomi sat firmly in front of him.
"drive!"
Yan Mo clamped the horse's belly, and the horse galloped away.
Nian Xiaomi's mood soared.
The wind whistled in my ears, and the scent of flowers was faint.
When they were away from the compound and there was no one in the field, Nian Xiaomi turned her head and pecked Yan Mo's side cheek.
Yan Mo's heart trembled, he hugged him tightly, kissed his earlobe lightly, raised the reins, and the steed galloped faster.
Sister Lanhua was mending her nets at the fishing ground when she suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes passing by.
Looking up, he saw the handsome figures of two people on horseback.
"Oh my god! Where did the horse come from? Let me ride too..."
His voice was quickly drowned behind him...
The villagers hurriedly gave way when they heard the sound of horseshoes.
The eyes of some young juniors are also full of envy.
Yan Mo deliberately passed by the Yan family's ancestral house, and Cuilan, who was choosing vegetables at the door, naturally saw it.
Sparks of envy and jealousy burst out of his eyes.
She cursed and vented her anger on Yan Gui.
"You are useless, you can't even be the village head! You know how to eat and sleep every day, and when you sleep, you can buy me a horse?"
The horse ran around the village and finally ran into the Nian's compound.
Under the children's begging, Yan Mo took them a few more times one by one.
After lunch, Nian Xiaomi thought of her horse and gave up her lunch break.
Thinking that the sun was just right, he moved him out of the stable and came to the well.
"What is this?" Yan Mo asked when he saw it.
"Give it a brush and feed it something."
After speaking, he took out a few big red apples from the small basket beside him.
Yan Mo nodded, stepped forward and pulled the rein, "Go to the creek ahead."
So the two came to the creek at the door.
Nian Xiaomi took an apple and fed it. The horse sniffed it and began to bite.
Nian Xiaomi clapped her hands and said happily: "I knew it likes to eat apples!"
After feeding the apple, Nian Xiaomi rolled up her sleeves and brushed it.
Ma'er squinted his eyes enjoying it, and kept rubbing his head against him, which attracted Nian Xiaomi's love even more.
Yan Mo moved the horse to the stream and began to brush its hair, "I'll teach you how to ride a horse later."
"Okay."
Nian Xiaomi is so happy!
A few days later, it coincided with the grand temple fair in summer.
Nian Xiaomi has been looking forward to it for a long time.
It is one thing to join in the fun and experience the rich local customs, and more importantly, he wants to use the temple fair to promote braised pork and hot pot!
The temple fair is held in Xiaomiao Town between Haizhou City and the county seat.
This small town is deserted on weekdays, but it is very lively when it comes to the temple fair.
Nian Xiaomi planned: "The temple fair is a good place. It happens to be able to promote our food to the county, and we will also set up a stall at that time."
Aunt Liu was puzzled and said, "This temple fair only lasts for two days. What can we sell in two days?"
Nian Xiaomi laughed: "There are many people coming to this temple fair from all over the world. There will be a lot of people. Let's use bamboo sticks to skewer some stewed meat and spicy soup for people to taste for free."
Yan Mo was anxious when he heard that, "Isn't that a big loss?"
Naturally, the ancients did not understand modern marketing techniques.
Free tasting, buy one get one free, bundle sales and so on...
"This business, how can we not suffer at all? Let's give them a taste. If it tastes good, I'm afraid they won't rush to buy it!"
Shui Yunyan said with a smile: "I think Brother Nian is right, you don't get small money, you don't get big money, you have to give up your money for everything!"
Nian Xiaomi smiled at him.
"Yunyan is still the most business-minded, and I will take you to the temple fair when the time comes."
When the children heard this, they all clamored to go.
Nian Xiaomi could only smile and agree one by one.
"However, we can't use the bamboo sticks from the hot pot restaurant, so if we want to go, we have to help cut the bamboo sticks."
So, under the leadership of Xiaoyong and Gu Yunfeng, several children helped to cut the bamboo sticks.
Finally came the day of the temple fair.
As soon as the morning star rose, Nian Xiaomi, Yan Mo, Xiaoyong, Shui Yunyan, and Gu Yunfeng put the tied things on the carriage and set off for Xiaomiao Town.
Yuhu, Niuniu and Mantang were also sitting in the car.
"Hey, where's Sister Lanhua?" Gu Yunfeng asked curiously.
How can such a lively occasion be without him.
Shui Yunyan smiled and said: "He went to Li Dabai's in Liushu Village last night, and he didn't return all night."
When everyone heard this, they all laughed.
From a distance, this group of people were talking and laughing.
It's not like going to set up a stall, it's more like going on an outing...
Passing by the door of Cuilan's house, she was washing clothes.
Seeing the carriage approaching, he said contemptuously: "A large group of country people go out, as if fleeing from a refugee, and they are not afraid of being laughed at!"
Her voice was not loud, just in time for Nian Xiaomi to hear her.

Thank you all babies! ! !
