"Qingqing, look, even grandma dislikes me, you have to take responsibility."

Ruan Zheng's words stunned Yu Qing. The eldest brother who used to be serious about words now knew he was joking?

"How do you want me to be responsible?"

"How about you partner with someone else in your barbecue restaurant? Why don't you partner with me in the provincial capital? Or you can show me a clear path."

Yu Qing was silent for a moment, then asked: "Well, it's not a big problem, but brother, can your funds be turned around?"

"Your eldest brother, I don't have a partner, I'm not married, I don't have any money to spend, and I've been saving all the money I've earned recently." Ruan Zheng was ashamed, and now he said it as if not having a family was his advantage.

"Haha, brother, just do whatever you want. If you have nothing to do tonight, you can go to the barbecue restaurant and check the situation. If you really want to open a barbecue restaurant, I will provide you with seasonings."

In fact, Yu Qing has a better way to make money, but it is obviously too late this year. We will wait until the second half of next year.

In the evening, Ruan Zheng drove Xiang Yisen's diesel car to the barbecue restaurant. Yu Qing, who was pregnant, chatted with Grandma Ruan for a while and then went back to the room to sleep.

The next day, when Yu Qing got up, Ruan Zheng told her his decision and started to open a barbecue restaurant after returning home.

Yu Qing readily agreed to bring him a batch of seasonings back this time.

There were many things going on at the end of the year, so Ruan Zheng did not delay in Yicheng. He checked out all the goods requested by several stores that day and took the train back to the provincial capital that night.

Ruan Zheng returned to the provincial capital. Except for Mi Xin who went to work, Yu Qing, Grandma Ruan and Li Xiaoju were the only ones left at home. In addition, it has been rainy these days and it is very cold outside.

Even though they can't go out and there's nothing to do at home, Grandma Ruan and Li Xiaoju can chat, but they can't chat non-stop every day, right?

Yu Qing wanted to find something for them to do so that they would not be bored. So she ordered a lot of flour, glutinous rice flour and japonica rice flour from the Internet, and also ordered pork from a pig at a local pig shop.

The pork arrived first, so Yu Qing took advantage of a break when it wasn't raining to go out and hire someone to deliver the pork to her home on a tricycle.

Grandma Ruan looked at the two baskets of pork in astonishment: "Qingqing, where did you get so much meat?"

"Yes, girl Qing, what are you going to do with so much pork?" Li Xiaoju also asked. She had only been with Yu Qing for a few days, and she really couldn't figure out her acting style.

Yu Qing walked around the two baskets containing the meat, looked at the two elders and explained with a smile: "I asked an acquaintance to get the meat from the countryside. Now that the winter solstice has passed, it is just right to make bacon. We will make more this year."

Hang some in the kitchen and smoke them, and you can use them to say goodbye to relatives at the end of the year. You can also take some more with you when grandma goes back, which is very good for entertaining guests or eating by yourself during the New Year."

When she first built the kitchen, she built a firewood stove. Even if she didn't use the firewood stove for smoking in the kitchen, she could still use wooden boards to build a shelf in the yard and hang the marinated meat on the fire to smoke directly.

"This...if I buy it at the meat joint factory, how many meat tickets do I need?!" Li Xiaoju was shocked. This was the first time in her life that she had seen someone smoke bacon so brutally, directly smoking a pig!

Grandma Ruan glanced at her granddaughter with an incomprehensible look. Without saying a word, she turned around and pulled out two knives from the knife rest. She handed one to Li Xiaoju, "Since the meat has been bought, let's keep some fresh meat."

Just eat it for these few days and marinate everything else."

The meat that was delivered was too big, and Grandma Ruan only wanted a piece of three to four kilograms. So all the meat had to be cut.

Li Xiaoju took the knife and nodded: "Okay, then it's all marinated."

The next day, the various noodles ordered online arrived, and Yu Qing placed them in a vat in the side room. The meat had already been marinated, and it would take two days before it could be smoked.

It was raining lightly outside, and the three of them had nothing to do at home. Yu Qing told Grandma Ruan and Li Xiaoju, "Auntie, we have flour, glutinous rice flour and japonica rice flour at home. Watch what we cook at home."

?”

Grandma Ruan and Li Xiaoju looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

"Grandma, do you think we should have nothing to do and make some rice dumplings and noodle dumplings?"

Grandma Ruan nodded happily, "If you want to make some, just make more. There is a refrigerator at home, so you can store it in the refrigerator. It will be enough for breakfast for a while."

The two of them took action as soon as they were told, one making noodles and the other chopping meat.

Yu Qing wanted to wear a bamboo hat and go to the yard to cut a few leeks, but was stopped by two elders.

Li Xiaoju snatched the sickle from her hand and said, "It's inconvenient for you to do anything with a big belly, so just stay at home and I'll cut the leeks."

When it was time to hold the lantern, when Lu Jinzhong came back with Mi Xin on his motorcycle, Li Xiaoju was cooking dumplings.

"Comrade Lu, let's have dinner at home tonight. We made a lot of dumplings today. I know you are from the north and you must love dumplings." Grandma Ruan invited him to stay for dinner. In the past few days, she watched the young man go there twice a day.

I felt a little bit sorry for running here.

Lu Jinzhong did not refuse. It was really difficult for him to cook alone when he went back. He usually spent more time eating in restaurants.

On the dinner table, there were a lot of dumplings made of flour and rice dumplings made of rice flour. Everyone was satisfied with the meal.

Yu Qing was a little full after eating, and walked around the living room to eat, "Lu Jinzhong, do you want to bring some back for breakfast tomorrow if you need it when you go back later?"

"No, it's too much trouble. Why don't I just come over for breakfast tomorrow morning." Lu Jinzhong shook his head while eating. Anyway, he would come over to pick up Comrade Mi Xin tomorrow morning.

Grandma Ruan: "Then it's settled, Xiao Lu will come over for breakfast tomorrow morning."

The next day, Yu Qing brought a bucket of peanut oil and suggested using glutinous rice flour to make glutinous rice sticks today. If you make more, you can save it to eat later or entertain guests.

Xiang Yisen returned to Yicheng from Yangcheng. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he smelled the aroma of fried food.

He asked Li Xiaoju who opened the door: "Auntie, what are you frying? It's so fragrant."

"It's been rainy these days, and we can't go out. We have nothing to do at home, so we're frying glutinous rice sticks."

They have been doing business for a few days and have saved up a lot of inventory. They will have something to repay the favor when Yu Qing leaves after her confinement.

Yu Qing was sitting in front of the wood stove to light the fire. She accidentally looked up and saw Xiang Yisen coming in from the kitchen door.

She looked at him in surprise: "Why did you come back today? I thought you wouldn't come back until tomorrow!"

"The things were done in advance, and I came back early just thinking about you." After saying that, Xiang Yisen noticed Grandma Ruan and called out affectionately: "Grandma, when did you come?"

"I'll be here as soon as you leave." Grandma Ruan smiled happily and asked Xiang Yisen to come over and warm up by the fire, and then go to rest after having something to eat.

Xiang Yisen said happily, "That's really unlucky. I'm sorry, grandma, I haven't entertained you personally these days."

Grandma Ruan handed him a plate of glutinous rice sticks and said, "I'm not that stingy person. As long as you treat my little girl Qing well, I'll be satisfied."
