Rebirth: Farming Skillfully with a Mrs.

Chapter 54 Sister Lanhua's Heart Is Broken

Although the amber was sold for 200 silver, the house would soon be built and the savings would bottom out, so the stewed meat business could not stop.

But with the need to build a house, and the summer harvest season is coming soon, there is really no time and energy to go to the city to buy goods every day.

After much deliberation, he came up with two methods and officially told Yan Mo today.

"I plan to develop franchisees, and I won't deliver goods to my door in the future." Nian Xiaomi put a piece of stewed beef in Yan Mo's bowl.

"What's a franchisee?" Yan Mo asked while holding his hand.

"That is, the other party can come to our house to buy stewed meat, and then take it back to sell. However, Haizhou City can only be given to the shopkeeper Xue's family, and other villages and towns can only be sold to one family, not two. Let me say this, you Can you understand me?"

In fact, his idea is very simple, that is, to develop franchisees in other villages and towns, and of course the formula will never be sold.

In this way, when summer comes, Yan Mo doesn't have to run outside every day in the scorching heat, and secondly, it is also convenient to expand the small business.

Yan Mo was stunned for a moment, "Is this possible? Will people be willing to buy it at home? What about the purchase of raw materials for pigs?"

Nian Xiaomi smiled, apparently thinking everything through.

"Whether they come or not, we have nothing to lose. I just want to see you running to the city before dawn. It's too hard. I also plan to ask Aunt Liu to help with the stewed vegetables. I will make the stewed ingredients myself. I can do it at a time." Thirty packs are enough for a month. It’s just that the butcher shop is a little troublesome, and people may not be willing to come to the village to buy goods every day..."

"What about the second method?" Yan Mo asked.

Nian Xiaomi is now going to the village, and everyone no longer treats him as a fool, but greets him friendly.

Of course there are exceptions, such as the village head's family, but Nian Xiaomi doesn't care, they are all from the same village, and getting along in harmony is more important.

In fact, he also has a purpose to establish a good relationship with the villagers, because he wants to open a grocery store in the village.

"Our Sunset Village is far away from the city and the county. If we open a grocery store in the village, people from our village and neighboring villages will also come here to buy things and earn a lot of money!"

"But you need a storefront to open a shop? How can there be any vacant storefronts in our village?" Yan Mo scratched his head.

Nian Xiaomi laughed, her eyebrows curved like crescent moons, "Why not, Grandma Qi's old house!"

There are three other villages next to Sunset Village, namely Taohua Village, Liushu Village and Xinglin Village. The old house of Grandma Qi’s family is just at the intersection of the village. .

"We'll start working on the grocery store when we're done with the house!" Nian Xiaomi added another item to his future plans.

Just as he was talking, Xie Yongqiang, a craftsman from the village, ran in.

"Have you thought about what kind of house to build?"

Nian Xiaomi shook his head. He didn't intend to design according to the traditional way of the ancients, but to combine modern design concepts to create a unique farmhouse.

He made an appointment with Xie Yongqiang to pick up the drawings the next day.

After lunch, Nian Xiaomi began to put away the things at home, knowing what to take away when moving.

When he was tidying up the kitchen, he found an old altar in a corner. When he opened it, it turned out to be stinky pickles.

Yan Mo covered his nose and exclaimed: "Ah! It stinks! What are you doing looking through that, throw it away quickly. It was the pickles that Aunt Liu helped me pickle last spring, and I kept forgetting to eat it."

Nian Xiaomi took a closer look, and found that the pickles were all rotten, leaving only a jar of old water.

Although the smell can kill people, but he said like a baby: "This is a good thing, I just want to use this to make a particularly smelly delicacy."

Although Yan Mo is very assured of his wife's cooking skills, he still has doubts when he hears that he wants to cook with stinky pickle water, "How can I eat this water if it stinks like that? What if someone eats it badly?" all?"

Nian Xiaomi is full of confidence, because he is going to make a peerless snack - stinky tofu!

In modern times, chemicals are added to everything, or it is a black-hearted workshop, which will definitely eat bad people.

But it was different in ancient times. The stinky tofu soaked in old altar water tastes 100% authentic, and it is safe to eat after high-temperature frying and sterilization.

"Master, don't worry, you will definitely be able to feast on your food in autumn."

Early the next morning, Yan Mo took Xiaoyong into the city to pull bricks, and happened to meet Gu Yunfeng, who insisted on helping, and Nian Xiaomi also jumped into the donkey cart, planning to go to Fulai Restaurant to talk to shopkeeper Xue about joining in person.

Along the way, the green leaves of poplar branches fluttered in the wind, and wild flowers of various colors bloomed in ditches and field ridges. In the fields, villagers were using hoes to loosen the soil along the wheat ridges, and the fields were filled with soil mist.

Nian Xiaomi suddenly discovered that Xiaoyong and Gu Yunfeng were either looking at me or me, there seemed to be a trace of affection between them...

When he arrived in Haizhou City, shopkeeper Xue heard that he was going to suspend his business, and he was very sad. If he missed one day of selling, he would lose a lot of money.

"Master Nian, why don't you sell me the formula." Xue Zhanggui laughed.

Nian Xiaomi took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Uncle Xue, this formula cannot be sold anyway, this is my bottom line, I believe you have been in business for so long, and you understand the reason, right? "

After speaking, I toasted him with a cup of tea, and spoke neither humble nor overbearing.

Xue Xuanran smiled and nodded, "You are really good at doing business, hey...it's a pity, braised vegetables are so popular now, and suddenly they are no longer sold, regular customers will definitely scold me!"

It was only then that Nian Xiaomi explained the purpose of coming today without any haste: "Who said it won't be sold? Sell it! It's just that the method has changed, and we need to join."

Then he explained the joining in detail.

Xue Xuanran stroked his beard, "Is my family still the only one joining Haizhou City?"

"Actually, to tell you the truth, many people have approached me, including the fourth uncle of Yan Mo who is opposite me, but I was thinking of our old friendship, and I didn't agree. As long as you sign the franchise agreement, everything written in black and white must be run by your family alone. , as long as there is a second family in Haizhou City, you can take the paperwork to the Yamen and sue me!"

Hearing what he said, shopkeeper Xue was completely relieved. He has a lot of tricks and has a few carriages. It is not a problem to buy goods in person every day, so he readily agreed.

Nian Xiaomi came prepared and had already written the franchise agreement. After the agreement was postponed, the first franchise store was established.

Nian Xiaomi also specially found someone to make a signboard and hang it at the entrance of the restaurant, with red letters on a yellow background and a circle of beautiful patterns embroidered on the side, impressively embroidered: Nianjia Luxiangfang.

The reason why the signboard is put up is for long-term development considerations, so that their own stewed meat can make a name and create a brand as soon as possible.

Before leaving, he also entrusted shopkeeper Xue to help publicize if there are people in other villages and towns who want to join.

Xue Xuanran thought about it carefully, as long as he didn't open a second home in Haizhou City, he wouldn't lose anything, and he immediately thought of one person - his sister Xue Yourong from Houcun!

Because Yan Mo and the others went to Houcun to pull bricks, shopkeeper Xue sent his staff to take him back to the village in a carriage...

The next day, Nian Xiaomi left the courtyard in her spare time.

When I passed Sister Lanhua's house, I saw him holding a pot and standing in the yard feeding the chickens.

"Sister, where are you going?"

Nian Xiaomi stopped, pointed to the north, "I'll go to Grandma Qi's to make tofu."

"Betch tofu? Then wait for me, my father just said that he wants to eat tofu today!" Sister Lanhua bounced back to the house to get a basin.

After taking out the basin, Sister Lanhua took his arm affectionately, "Let's go."

In the previous life, if a man took him to go shopping like this, he would be very embarrassed, because people don't fully accept GAY.

But it was different in ancient times, he was no longer afraid of other people's eyes and gossip.

On the way, Nian Xiaomi asked, "How are you and that Xie Yongqiang doing?"

Speaking of this, Sister Lanhua, who was smiling like a flower just now, suddenly became frowning,

"Every time you flirt with him, he doesn't seem to respond..."

"Then have you ever thought that he might not like boys?" Nian Xiaomi asked.

Sister Lanhua was thoughtful, and then said: "Next time we meet, I will ask him personally!"

The two chatted like this, and soon arrived at Grandma Qi's house.

Before I went inside, I could smell the aroma of soy milk wafting in. From the outside, it was foggy.

Sister Lanhua was not afraid of Granny Qi, she dragged Nian Xiaomi inside, "Grandma Qi, let's buy tofu!"

Before the words were finished, Granny Qi came out with a smile, "It's iron, I haven't been here for so many years!"

Sister Lanhua shyly said: "You can call me Lanhua, I have just returned to the village not long ago, and I will definitely come to visit my mother-in-law often in the future."

Seeing the intimacy between him and Granny Qi, Nian Xiaomi's heart was also relieved.

"Grandma Qi, today I want to buy some thin dried tofu."

"Okay, wait!"

She was holding a round wooden tray in her hand, covered with a wooden plank, and after a short while, the plank pressed the dried beans into shape.

Nian Xiaomi looked at the thickness. Although it is made by hand, it is not as beautiful as the one made by machine, but the taste is the most natural.

Nian Xiaomi filled a whole earthen basin.

When he got home, he moved the old altar of stinky water into the courtyard. The sour smell was stronger than the smell of stinky socks in the university dormitory before, and it made him cry.

Fat Monkey also came over curiously, chirping about why it was delicious, but as soon as the lid was lifted, he slipped away with an "oh".

Sister Lan Hua also jumped to the side like a monkey, covered her nose and said in a low voice, "My mother! It stinks, what are you doing!"

Nian Xiaomi added some salt and water to the jar, put the washed dried tofu in, and waited until the smelly water submerged the dried tofu before closing the lid and sealing it.

"Sister Lanhua, help me dig a hole and bury the jar."

Sister Lanhua had already found a piece of clothing from the house to tie on his face, took a shovel, and helped him dig a hole in the corner of the yard.

At this moment, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and the tall and heroic Xie Yongqiang came to fetch the blueprints. Sister Lanhua saw him, threw the shovel aside in a hurry, and tore off the clothes on her face.

However, according to Nian Xiaomi's observation, he really feels like a buddy to Sister Lanhua, and he can't see the look in his eyes at all...

Just as Nian Xiaomi took out the drawings that he had been drawing in the middle of the night, he heard a burst of "giggling" laughter and the sound of a carriage.

It was Shopkeeper Xue and his widowed prodigal sister, Xue Yourong, the owner of the brick kiln, who came here.

And when Xie Yongqiang looked at her, he was stunned, and the drawings almost fell to the ground...

Sister Lanhua's heart was broken when she saw his expression.

Xie Yongqiang likes women? ...
