As soon as he had an idea, he immediately put it into action. Guoer began to prepare bean paste, red oil, pepper, wolfberry, rock sugar, star anise, cinnamon, white wine and many other condiments. Then he went into the kitchen and started tinkering with Yueniang.

, within a few days, the fragrant hot pot base was fried.

After the most difficult base material was obtained, Guoer ordered people to take out the frozen and hard mutton. He specially selected a few young servants to carefully cut the mutton into very thin slices with knives, and then cut the meat from the fat sheep.

Cut the tenderest part into mahjong-sized pieces and marinate with seasonings.

In the middle of winter, there were no more abundant green vegetables, so Guoer prepared some more spinach.

Wash and cut the cabbage, tofu, radishes and other side dishes that can be obtained during this season, and make all the preparations. In the evening, I started to order a family to eat a delicious meal of boiled mutton and roasted mutton.

When the long-lost taste filled his lips and teeth again, Guoer's nose felt sour and she almost shed tears with excitement. It had been a long time since she had tasted this familiar taste.

This mutton feast made the whole family's eyes glow red. They had never eaten such delicious mutton, and they immediately felt that the previous way of eating had completely ruined the meat.

After Yao Sanzhu had eaten and drank enough, he lay on the chair and burped lazily. He stretched his neck and said to Guo'er:

"It's so damn delicious! Guo'er, why don't our family open a restaurant after the New Year? If nothing else, just eat these two things, we will definitely make a lot of money, and we will be the only one by then."

After hearing this, everyone else agreed and looked at Guo'er and Yao Erzhu.

When Guo'er saw the eagerness of the guys to try, her heart started to boil with excitement, but when she thought about it again, how could it be so easy?

Apart from anything else, this mutton alone is not easy to supply for a long time. This is not a local domestic sheep. If sheep like this running on the grassland want to supply mainland restaurants, it will not work without a long-term and stable caravan running to the north. Silence

The sheep he sent were said to have been specially brought to him by his military friends in the North.

There is also this hot pot base. Guoer put together a pot of stew based on the memory in his mind. In fact, there are still many things that need improvement. It is better to wait for the opportunity to treat someone to eat it. If someone also opens a restaurant

Then everything will be easy to discuss. As long as the problem of mutton supply is solved, it will not be too late to open the restaurant.

When Yao Erzhu set out to do accounts abroad a few years ago, Guoer specially made a pot of hot pot base ingredients, attached a recipe for mutton-shabu-shabu and roasted mutton, and asked him to bring it to someone.

After doing this, Guo'er put the matter behind her for the time being. In addition to the mutton, there were other good things waiting for her to deal with.

Bai Qiaoer gave birth to a child, and Yao Sizhu returned to the village for more than half a month. He is a restless person. During this period, in addition to staying at home with his wife and son, he also goes to the old house to help in the workshop, and returns from the old house in the evening.

Rush back.

After finishing his work for the day, he was about to go back when Mai Sui called him from behind:

"Four Pillars, wait a moment."

Yao Sizhu turned around: "Sister, what else can you do?"

Maisui stepped forward and looked at him, as if thinking about what to say.

Yao Sizhu said in confusion: "Sister, if you have anything to do, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will definitely handle it for you."

Maisui shook his head: "It's not my business. I just want to ask, have you met Lanzi again in the past few days?"

Yao Sizhu's heart skipped a beat. He really let his sister talk about it. He seemed to meet him every day these days, but the two of them didn't exchange a few words. There were only a few roads in the village, and there were always people walking on the road.

When I met an acquaintance, I would either go up to him and talk to him, or someone on Lanzi's side would stop and ask a few words, so the two of them never had a chance to be alone together.

Maisui knew what was going on by looking at his expression. She lowered her face and said:

"Sizhu, Lanzi is not a simple woman. I heard that something happened to her husband's family. Stay away from her. Don't get entangled and make yourself embarrassed. Don't forget that you have a wife and children now."

Yao Sizhu suddenly blushed: "Sister, what are you talking about? How could I...that, I know it well."

Maisui: "Just be aware of it. It's getting late. Go back quickly. Don't keep your wife waiting."

Maisui knew that her younger brother was a stupid person, so she saw that he knew what he was talking about, so she stopped talking and let him go home.

Walking alone on the road, Yao Sizhu was thinking about whether his son should go back to the shop for about ten days before he was full moon, and wait for his son to come back before he was full moon. Seeing that the new year was approaching, the business in the shop was booming.

Although I had arranged for capable people to watch, and his third brother was watching from the side, I still felt that it was better to take the time to go back and work for a few days to feel more at ease.

As I walked and pondered, I was unexpectedly blocked by someone.

Lanzi took off the scarf wrapped around her face with her hands, looked at him excitedly and said:

"Brother Si Zhu, I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

Yao Sizhu looked around in panic. Fortunately, it was getting dark now and few people in the village came out for a walk. He looked at Lanzi again and said in a stiff tone:

"Lanzi, what are you waiting for if you don't stay at home on such a cold day? It's getting late, and I have to go back to see my wife and son."

After that, he wanted to go around Lanzi and continue walking, but Lanzi stood in front of him angrily, forcing him to stop.

Yao Sizhu had no choice but to lower his voice and said: "Lanzi, if people see you like this, it will bring bad reputation to you. Why do you have to wait for me? You tell me, I'm listening."

Lan Zi's eyes turned red: "Brother Si Zhu, what reputation do I have now? I am a person who was divorced by my husband's family, and I am despised by others wherever I go."

Lanzi has been staying at her parents' house recently, and she goes out to the village almost every day. As time goes by, the aunts and ladies in the village will naturally ask about her, so soon word spread in the village that something happened to the Jin family and she was divorced by her husband's family and returned to her parents' house.

Yao Sizhu frowned even more: "I heard about the Jin family, but I can't help you with this matter."

Lanzi said with a tearful voice: "I don't want to ask you to take care of the Jin family's affairs. Brother Si Zhu, I am so miserable. When I was in the Jin family, the family was not a human being. They were mean to my daughter-in-law. Now I have returned to my parents' home."

, and I have to look at my brother and sister-in-law’s faces every day, and I don’t know who to talk to about the pain in my heart.”

Lan Zi really shed tears while talking.

When Yao Sizhu saw her crying, he immediately lost his mind: "Stop crying, what's the use of telling me this? If you are seen like this, people will think that I did something to you. This misunderstanding will be huge."

Come on, stop crying, huh?"

As he spoke, he looked around nervously, fearing that he would be caught by the villagers and unable to explain clearly.

Lanzi just lowered her head and wiped her tears, and her voice became even more aggrieved:

"Brother Si Zhu, I know I was sorry for you back then, but who can understand my pain? I was forced by my parents and brother back then. I actually didn't want to separate from you. They were interested in the five taels of betrothal money from the Jin family.

You forced me not to see you, and I really wanted to run away from home. I wanted you to take me away from here, and we both ran far away..."

Listening to her grievances, Yao Sizhu's heart suddenly became cold. He remembered that when he heard the news about Lanzi's other engagement, he rushed to find her in a hurry, but he saw with his own eyes the unbearable thing he looked back on in the woods.

scene.

At that time, he clearly saw Lanzi being held by the man, looking at the man with a shy smile on her pink face. That scene hurt his eyes, and he was so angry that he rushed over to fight with the man regardless.

, in the end, he suffered the harshest revenge and became lame in one leg.

While he was lying on the kang unable to move, Lanzi sat on the sedan chair and became someone else's bride.

Thinking of the unbearable past, Yao Sizhu's heart felt even more like falling into an ice cellar. He closed his eyes and said in a rather impatient tone:

"Okay, don't mention the past anymore. It's getting late and I have to go home quickly."

As he said that, he took another step to the side and tried to go around. Lanzi saw that his move was a little hasty, so she grabbed his arm and cried sadly:

"Brother Si Zhu, don't leave."

Yao Sanzhu, wearing a warm sheepskin cloak, walked swaying from another road. He soon noticed the two people chatting in front of him. It sounded like a woman was calling Si Zhu's name.

Yao Sanzhu took a few steps closer suspiciously. When he saw the two people in front of him clearly, he couldn't help blurting out:

"Fourth, Lanzi?

What are you two doing? Are you not afraid of being seen, having sex in broad daylight?"

Yao Sizhu was startled by the sudden intrusion of his third brother. He took a few steps back convulsively and gaped:

"No, no, third brother, I was just going home when I bumped into him."

Lanzi finally caught someone, and she wasn't afraid of being bumped into by someone, but she didn't expect it to be Yao Sanzhu. Seeing that Brother Sizhu was eager to clear up the relationship with her, she felt secretly resentful, so she said:

"Brother Sanzhu, the two of us didn't do much, we just talked a few words."

Yao Sanzhu walked up and looked at the woman sideways, and sneered in his heart:

"It turns out to be Lanzi. I heard that several men from the Jin family were sent to prison for killing people. You were divorced by your husband's family? Oh, this is not a glorious thing. You have to feel aggrieved and go home to your mother.

Please tell your sister-in-law, why are you crying here with a grown man who is beyond your reach? People who don’t know think that you just got divorced and returned to your parents’ home, so you can’t wait to find a new home.

But that’s not right. If you’re looking for a new home, you should look for bachelors. My fourth child just had his son recently, so I don’t have time to help you with this.”

Yao Sanzhu spoke without any scruples and in a loud voice, which soon attracted people next to him to come over to see what was going on.

Lanzi felt embarrassed and embarrassed by what he said. She looked at Yao Sizhu with aggrieved eyes, as if she was hesitant to speak.

Yao Sanzhu didn't give her a chance to speak, and said directly to Yao Sizhu:

"You haven't stayed outside enough in the cold weather. You forgot that your injured leg doesn't get cold. Be careful when you lie on the kang at night and it hurts so much that you can't sleep. Let's go back together."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and put his hand on Lao Si's shoulder. Yao Sizhu no longer wanted to stand here. Hearing this, he hurriedly stepped back and followed the third brother back without looking at Lanzi again.

Seeing that Yao Sanzhu actually mentioned Yao Sizhu's injured leg, Lan Zi couldn't help but shuddered with guilt. He didn't dare to raise his head until the two brothers were far away.

As the two brothers were walking on the road, Yao Sizhu opened his mouth to explain:

"Third brother, it was really not me just now..."

Yao Sanzhu: "Come on, it's useless to explain to me. Why is that woman Lanzi always looking for you these two days? I don't believe you don't know. Don't blame Third Brother for not reminding you. That woman caused you to become lame in one leg.

Our family has a feud, don’t be so stupid that you can’t figure it out!”

Yao Sizhu: "I know, I have no intention of paying attention to her, I..."

Yao Sanzhu was too lazy to listen to him and interrupted:

"No, just stay away from that woman. By the way, do you know that your third brother was entangled by Widow Liu in the village?"

Yao Sizhu nodded. This matter was widely spread in the village at that time, so he naturally heard about it.

Yao Sanzhu: "Fourth brother, I don't believe why Lanzi is looking for you. You don't know. If you don't want to make a mess like your third brother, be careful." Chinese website
