When Mrs. Qi entered the house, Yan Yu had already coaxed Mrs. Qi into smiling.
"...Whatever you want to do, just tell your two sisters. They will win all the flowers that come and go. If you want to give money, just give it to them. They will earn it and spend it themselves..."
As Mrs. Qi was talking, she heard familiar footsteps and smiled at the figure: "My boss is back."
"Alas! Mother!" Mrs. Qi responded.
"Grandma Qi, Aunt Qi, I'm going home." She hasn't finished her homework yet, woo woo woo!
"Go back. If your mother starts to attack, send someone to shout." Mrs. Qi ordered.
Yan Yu nodded repeatedly and winked at the two sisters of the Qi family.
When the two sisters followed her out, they were stuffed with two strings of copper coins, which were very heavy in their hands.
"Grandma Qi has already spoken, but the two sisters continue, hehe, I heard that Yongning City is very lively during the Chinese New Year. At this time of year, there are many things for sale on the street. You can't even bring it home if you call me.
My eldest sister, let’s go shopping one day.” Yan Yu invited.
The two sisters subconsciously looked towards the house behind them.
Yan Yu stamped her feet: "Oh, my sisters are too honest. Didn't Grandma Qi say it all? When we enter the city, we should also learn how the people in the city live. If we don't go out and stay at home when the weather is bad, then
You might as well live in our village, it would be more interesting to go up the mountains and down the river..."
The two sisters from the Qi family said to themselves that it is you, Xiaoer, who likes to go up mountains and down rivers.
"I have a plan." Yan Yu has some ideas for the first New Year in Yongning City based on the principle of not stealing money... no! spending money will not delay making money.
"Let's take a good walk first, visit all the lively places in the city, and come back to see if there is any small business we can do, so we can make a small fortune during the Chinese New Year!" Yan Yu was full of confidence.
Said with satisfaction.
When Cheng Lezhou mentioned red paper just now, she thought of Spring Festival couplets.
There must be many people in the academy writing for sale.
Yan Yu is different. She not only wants to write Spring Festival couplets, but also has some ideas for window grilles.
She was taught it in the primary school handicraft class, but she didn't know how to do the difficult ones. She had no problem with the simplest word "hi".
Fold the red paper, draw the lines, and then just cut it without thinking.
Of course, it’s not appropriate to have a haircut during the Chinese New Year.
But the principles are similar.
The two sisters of the Qi family and her eldest sister all learned how to draw flowers from Mrs. Tian. They found a few simple patterns that were easy to draw and easy to cut, and then each of them had a pair of scissors.
I can't make much money, but as a little girl's pocket money, I'm rich enough.
"What kind of patterns do sisters draw well?" Yan Yu asked.
"Everything is common." The eldest girl of the Qi family asked, "We have pieces of cloth, do you want to see them?"
"Let's go and take a look." Yan Yu said.
Mrs. Tian's patterns also have similar patterns. Yan Yu has seen them. The patterns are more complicated and have a better sense of design. The patterns in the hands of the two sisters of the Qi family are all ones that they can complete and they agreed with Mrs. Qi that they are OK.
, two sisters embroidered one piece and kept one piece.
The pieces of cloth vary from old to new, and the patterns on them range from easy to difficult.
Yan Yu sighed secretly while flipping through the pages.
Look, how difficult it is to learn a trade.
These are all testimonies of the sisters of the Qi family who have been learning arts since childhood.
So she wanted to give the leggings to her godfather, so it was right to decisively place an order for the sisters of the Qi family.
She can dance with the iron rod as she pleases, but this little embroidery needle is hard for her to kill!
"There are magpies, fish, and flowers...enough is enough, just have these."
…
When Yan Yu returned home, she found her eldest sister.
"Sister, when Brother Cheng comes back later, help me ask him if there are any other colors of paper besides red paper?"
Yan Yu happily showed her a piece of paper with the word "福" cut out: "The sisters of the Qi family are so skillful with their hands. They cut the painted paper very quickly. I wrote the word "福" to them and it was cut out.
, Haha, it’s exactly the same as what I wrote. This is the first one, the simplest, and there is a round word "福" at the back. When I left, the sisters of the Qi family were thinking about adding a few more flowers..."
She just expressed her thoughts, but she didn't expect that the two Qi sisters had such strong execution ability.
"You want another color?" Yan Qianchu was puzzled.
"Hmm, red alone is too monotonous. It's better to match it with other colors, colorful and colorful to look good." The colors are so eye-catching that you can see them from a long distance.
It was still an idea before, but now Yan Yu has decided that the small stall during the Chinese New Year will sell Spring Festival couplets and window grilles.
"Sister, let's go to the streets tomorrow, find a suitable place, and set up a stall before the year!"
"What about the business in the store?" Yan Qianchu asked subconsciously.
"It won't affect me." Yan Yu counted on his fingers: "There are only a few days until the Chinese New Year. Well, just start setting it up from the 25th. It doesn't take long every day. We can't prepare much anyway. When we are busy, we can watch the stalls.
When we are not busy, we take turns shopping on the street... We have enough people."
"Set up a stall? Our maltose is not there yet. You have so much confidence in your father that you are considering setting up a stall before we even meet him?" Yan Laoer put the medicine box in his hand on the counter and then turned back.
Go to the bullock cart to move other items.
"Dad! Where is Mrs. An Xiao? Why do you only have things?" Yan Yu also went out to help.
"I met an old man who fell down on the road. Dr. An touched his bones. Fortunately, he didn't break it. But the safest thing is to take some medicine and eat it. Now, he went back to prescribe medicine. Let me think about it.
Let the guy who feeds him go over here first, and I will go back to pick him up later, otherwise this day will drag on for a whole day, and when will he be able to live in our house." Yan Laoer said.
Dr. An had promised to come here long ago, and he didn't break his promise. It was just that it was too cold this year, many people were sick, and the hospital was crowded with people. As long as he was there, he had no time to spare, and he often visited the clinic at night.
thing.
"Dad wants to discuss with you, can you spare a space in the shop in front of you for Dr. An, so that he can stay at our house for a while and do a consultation or something."
Yan Laoer had good intentions. They invited Dr. An here and waited for his daughter-in-law to give birth without asking him to do anything. It was unreasonable to think about it.
Yan Yu can understand her father's thoughts very well.
"Why not, I'll pack it up right now." There's nothing in front of me, so there's a lot of room left to put it away.
"It's just this place. Dad, you think it's okay? I'll move the counter and replace it with tables, chairs and benches. I'll also clear out the shelves in the back for Dr. An to put the things he needs. When you go to pick up people again, you have to
Why don't you ask if it's convenient to bring some medicinal materials?" Yan Yu had an idea after taking a look around.
As for moving and lifting, that's not a problem.
Yan Laoer clapped his hands, his face full of approval: "It's not good, I didn't think of it. I also brought the medicine that your mother may need, so as to save you from being anxious... Uh, just in case.
It’s best not to use it.”
"Dad, let's take action now!" Yan Yu said and walked out: "Quickly, let's go together. I just want to buy ink sticks. It's cheaper in the south of the city. Let's finish buying the ink sticks together.
Go pick someone up and I can help you."
Yan Laoer nodded repeatedly: "That's right, you go with dad, no matter how many things there are, you won't be afraid, hey, hey! Our waiter has the strength..."
I accidentally let out my inner thoughts.
…
When Mr. Yan and Mr. An come back together in the evening, it will be like moving.
Li Xuemei stood in the yard and watched Yan Laoer direct the hired oxcart to unload the things in the yard.
I don’t even have enough for my own oxcart, so I hired one. How much does it cost...
Each square wooden box is neatly stacked.
You can see writing on it from a distance.
Are all the medicine shelves here for others?!
Li Xuemei is really convinced!
She didn't take care of it at a glance, how could these two men be so tormented!
It was a fuss to ask Dr. An to come and stay at our house, but now we actually gave him a place to sit in the clinic, and even provided medicine...
Listen to what the two men said.
We also need to hang a sign outside the shop to prevent people from knowing that Dr. An is here to treat patients...
The two men discussed in full swing.
One idea after another.
Endless!
Those who didn’t know better thought that their Yan’s Shop was going to be turned into Yan’s Medical Clinic...
Li Xuemei couldn't listen anymore and turned around to go back to the house.
She was tired. She was a pregnant woman who was about to give birth and needed a comfortable and comfortable environment.
As for the two of you, just do whatever you like.
…
Invite Dr. An to his home, and Yan Laoer will come with him the next day, feeling refreshed!
Yan Yu: "Dad! You look very different today. Well, the dark circles under your eyes are lighter, and you look more energetic!"
"Don't tell me, there is a doctor living at home, and he feels very safe. Your father has never slept better than last night." Yan Laoer said in a low voice.
"I regret it! Why didn't you invite Dr. An earlier?" He slapped his thigh hard and sighed: "You're too quiet!"
Yan Yu: Poof!
I choked on a mouthful of soy milk.
The cat jumped away before she squirted out, then tilted his head and stared at her with a pair of amber cat eyes. His tail swayed less, making it look like he would jump again if she squirted again.
"Cough...cough..." Yan Yu quickly found a rag to wipe the kang. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and turned around in time, otherwise the breakfast on the kang table would be ruined.
"Dad, my biological father, my biological father! Next time when we have dinner, please don't say such ridiculous things. You might scare the cats."
Yan Laoer waved to Maomao, with a very kind smile on his face: "Maomao, come here and pet me, touch your fur, you won't scare me..."
Li Xuemei put down the spoon silently and drew circles on her belly with her hands.
These two men!
So early in the morning, my intestines felt like they were in knots...
Maomao stared at Yan Yu for a while and found that she showed no signs of squirting any more. She changed sides and lay next to Li Xuemei again, sticking her tail to Li Xuemei's body. Occasionally she would leave a little, and then stick to her again.
As for Yan Laoer, he was completely ignored.
Yan Laoer turned his head and looked at Youzu who was grinning and laughing on the ground.
"Stay here."
He waved and came over, looking at him and then at Yan Yu.
"Get closer." Yan Laoer couldn't reach the dog's head.
"Gou Zhu was walking around on duty at night, and he just got off work. He was waiting for me to wash his paws." Yan Yu explained and greeted: "Gou Zhu, please step forward and pat my father's head."
Gouzhu happily waggled his tail and stepped forward, leaning the dog's head towards him, lifting his chin, and the dog's eyes narrowed.
Yan Laoer finally petted one of the furry animals at home and was very satisfied.
"Stay good, I'll wash your paws later." Ordinary domestic pets are rewarded with food, but this was definitely not the case in his family, so he had to find another way to express his full heart.
Gou Zhu was very ungrateful.
With an aggrieved whimper, he put the dog's head back and looked at Yan Yu eagerly.
"Hehe! I don't want you if I have to live here. Dad, hurry up and see if the malt has grown. Okay, hurry up and boil the sugar. We will be ready before the 25th, and we will set up a stall to sell it on the day." Yan Yuyan
There is light inside, and it depends on her father whether she can make a fortune from the wheat harvested by her family.
Yan Laoer:......
"Okay! I'll do it after dinner."
You have to work if you are destined to work.
Another day when I was disliked by cats and not comforted by dogs.
When Yan Laoer came out of the house, Yan Yu said, "Mom, do you feel anything today?"
Li Xuemei shook her head.
"Mom, don't be nervous, we are fully prepared." Don't be so nervous like her father, you can see it on your face.
Li Xuemei hummed.
"Mom, have you eaten enough? I'll pack it up when you're done?" Yan Yu asked.
Li Xuemei nodded and said: "I've finished eating, take it all down."
Yan Yu quickly cleaned up.
Li Xuemei said to her heart that if you, my daughter, had trouble walking, I would definitely feel more secure.
She exhaled and looked down at her belly.
Erbao, why are you so trustworthy? You still don’t want to come out?!
…
Yan Laoer saw that the malt had grown to a good length, so he started to prepare pots, pans and various other things.
The battle was set up and the sugar boiling began.
First wash the malt clean, then control the water. When the water here is almost controlled, start chopping on the cutting board.
When this end is chopped and the other end is drained, repeat the previous steps.
In short, not a single piece of malt can leave Yan Laoer's cutting board intact.
While Yan Laoer was chopping malt, Yan Yu had already washed Gou Zhu's paws and came over to help her father.
She was familiar with the steps of making maltose, but this was the first time she had seen it with her own eyes.
Her father is very confident, saying that the steps are simple and you can understand them at a glance. He is an experienced chef, and he still doesn’t understand this part of the job?!
That’s called confidence!
Yan Yu also felt that her father could succeed in one attempt.
The glutinous rice was steamed in the pot, and Yan Yu watched the fire on the side.
She said she was watching, but actually it was Grandma Rong who supervised it, and she was the one who put the firewood in it.
Everyone is right. After several months of study and experience, Yan Yu now knows how to make fire.
It's a pretty good burn.
Chopped malt and steamed glutinous rice were mixed together, and Yan Laoer stirred vigorously. After just a few stirs, the mixture reacted.
He turned around and called his daughter.
"Xiaoer, come and help dad stir things up."
"Okay!" Yan Yu trotted over, and as soon as he got started, his attitude was completely different from that of Yan Laoer.
Yan Laoer clicked his tongue, feeling sour in his heart.
Commanding: "It has to be mixed well. You don't need to use so much strength. Take it easy and use skillful strength. Yes, hardness and softness are combined into one. This is the strength!"
Yan Yu couldn't help complaining: "Dad, you are practicing martial arts here, and you still combine hardness and softness..."
