Chapter 252
When the brother and sister returned home, they happened to run into Lin Ercheng who was picking up the baby.
Seeing that they had just arrived home, Lin Ercheng couldn't help but be a little curious: "Why did you come back so late? Are you going to buy meat?"
"I met a thief on the road and sent him to the government." Lin Yicheng pinched his son's face as he spoke.
Lin Zihan had already been pinched by his father and felt a little disgusted: "Dad, I am already a big baby!"
Disliked by his son, Lin Yicheng was a little frustrated and looked at Lin Jian and Shen Zhiyu aside.
Lin Jian knew what his uncle was going to do, so he jumped to the kitchen with his legs, leaving Shen Zhiyu there in a daze.
"Oh, let uncle take a look at our little jade." Lin Yicheng softened his tone when he looked at the little baby who was still there, and picked him up.
"Zhiyu, do you miss your uncle?"
"Uncle, your beard pricks me." Xiao Zhiyu giggled and waved her little arms.
Nanzhi carried the meat to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Mother Lin was chopping vegetables, and Chen Qiulan was sitting in front of the stove, waiting to light the fire.
"Aniang, sister-in-law." Nanzhi called someone and pulled Lin's mother aside.
"Auntie, you go out and have a rest. I'll do it. Let's eat beef today." Nanzhi put the beef on the vegetable pile and rolled up his sleeves.
"How are you and Miaomiao doing today?" Mother Lin did not refuse, but stood aside and asked her daughter if her day was going well.
Naturally, it was too late for her to be happy that her daughter was filial to her.
"Everything is going well today. We have only hired two cooks now. I guess we will have to hire more. There will also be a small laborer and a dishwashing woman." Nanzhi smiled and exchanged greetings with his mother-in-law, but his subordinates He started to handle the beef neatly.
"That's fine, that's fine. If you need help from our family in any way, just tell me. Don't spend too much money." Although Mother Lin was pleased, she still couldn't help but worry about her daughter.
Even if Wen Chen gave his daughter money, he couldn't just squander it casually. It was better to save some money.
Chen Qiulan sat in front of the stove and listened to her mother-in-law and sister-in-law talking without saying a word. She was just thinking about what Sun Cui said at noon today.
Naturally, she was looking forward to opening a shop, but it was her sister-in-law's ability to open a restaurant. She had saved dozens of taels of silver in the past two years. Although she could not afford to buy a shop, she could still rent it.
Thinking about the fact that she was often too tired to lift her arms just by running a food stall with her mother-in-law and younger siblings, Chen Qiulan still gave up the idea of opening a shop with her mother Lin.
After all, life is going well now, and Doudou is studying again, so why should she bother.
Nanzhi was in a good mood, and made another cumin beef dish in the evening. Speaking of what she cooked, it wasn't very delicious, but as long as she added the cumin spice, she was pretty good at making some stir-fried griddle dishes. .
Everyone at the dinner table expressed unanimous praise for the cumin beef. Seeing that everyone was full and full, Nanzhi smiled and said, "Father and mother, brother and sister-in-law, everyone ate this cumin beef today, and everyone also I think it tastes pretty good, and I plan to focus on cumin dishes after the restaurant opens."
Father Lin nodded after hearing this. The cumin beef was spicy and made him sweat easily on his forehead. If he were a drinker, he would probably like this dish.
"Fat girl, this beef is more expensive than pork. If you sell it in a restaurant and add some cumin, it will be more expensive." Although Lin Ercheng thought this dish tasted good, he was still a little worried. After all, he could listen People say that the cumin outside is now being sold for three taels of silver per pound.
If you ask him, it would be better to sell the cumin directly. After all, Zuitingxuan and Hongfulou already have cumin for cooking. A small plate of meat sprinkled with cumin would cost eighty yuan. Although my sister originally bought it for only 150 Wen per catty, if the price of the vegetables was low, wouldn't she just openly challenge others?
"I've already calculated this. It's profitable. After all, this dish doesn't just add cumin. It requires ingredients. Once mixed, the cost can be much lower."
"But if that dish is sold cheaply, I'm afraid someone who cares will remember it..."
"I'm worried about this too. If it's expensive, there will be fewer people willing to come to eat. If it's cheap, it's easy to get into trouble." Nanzhi was also worried about this. She picked up the missing dishes and went to the restaurant. If they only sold food normally, those people wouldn't be there. You have to know how to cause trouble for yourself.
But if I didn't set the price, I would be ruining others' business.
"If it doesn't work, just sell the cumin, and the restaurant will hire a few chefs to make some special dishes." Lin's father suggested.
"But if there is no outstanding dish, who would go to Fat Ya's place to eat? She runs a restaurant, not a small stall." Mother Lin rolled her eyes at her husband, but Sun Cui beside her was a little restless. I just thought my mother-in-law was talking about me.
"Forget it, let me discuss this matter with the accountant I hired tomorrow." Seeing that his parents were about to quarrel, Nanzhi hurriedly spoke.
"I, I'm going to clean up the dishes."
Sun Cui stood up uneasily and put away the dishes on the table. Lin Ercheng was confused by his wife's actions. Everyone hadn't gotten off the table yet. What happened to her?
Mother Lin's face also turned cold. Nanzhi was afraid that something would happen again, so she quickly took Mother Lin's arm and said, "Mom, I have something to ask you. Let's go to your room and talk. Go to your room and talk." .”
Mother Lin originally wanted to say a few words, but she stopped talking when her daughter said something was wrong and followed her back to the house.
As soon as Lin's mother and Nanzhi left, Sun Cui felt a little wilted. Chen Qiulan saw that she was still thinking about what happened at noon today, so she only said a word to Lin Yicheng.
Hearing his wife's words, Lin Yicheng was a little unhappy. Chen Qiulan pinched his arm again, and then he said: "Ercheng, you take your brothers and sisters to rest for a while. Your sister-in-law and I will take care of things tonight." That’s it.”
I could tell that something was wrong with my daughter-in-law. When my elder brother said this, my sister-in-law nodded again, and then she quickly thanked her and brought Sun Cui into the house.
"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you today?"
As soon as Lin Ercheng asked, Sun Cui was so aggrieved that she lay on his chest and cried.
Entering the house, Mother Lin looked at Nanzhi with some worry: "What's up, my dear, what's the matter with you?"
"It's nothing, don't worry, Auntie." Nanzhi sat beside Mother Lin, shook her head, and then spoke in a low voice.
"Auntie, do you want to open a shop?"
As soon as Nanzhi finished speaking, Mother Lin's expression became colder.
"Are you trying to speak for your second sister-in-law?"
"Auntie, what are you talking about?" Nanzhi shook Mother Lin's arm and said coquettishly: "What do you mean by speaking for my second sister-in-law? I just thought that my father would open a carpenter shop with his eldest and second brother. You If I could lead my sisters-in-law to open a small shop for food business, then I wouldn’t have to carry bowls and chopsticks back and forth every day.”
"You girl." Mother Lin glanced at her daughter and sighed again.
"Of course I have thought about this. Your two sisters-in-law have not lived a very good life since they married into our Lin family. Although life is better now, they are busy with me all day long, and I also It’s not distressing.”
"Then why are you still angry with your second sister-in-law?"
"What do you know?"
