Lin Xiaoyue snickered, her godfather is so thoughtful!
However, in order not to let the old man think too much, she said honestly: "Most of this place was bought by Brother Liang, who is doing business with me. Because we are now opening a teahouse in Yangming Town and will soon open a new restaurant, so we have a lot of manpower.
It wasn't enough, so I wanted Yunyun to go over and help me. Brother Liang said he was here to invite people, so he couldn't be more polite, so he added a lot. These are all Brother Liang's thoughts, so please accept them, godfather."
Finally figuring out what was going on, Chen Maowu had new worries in his heart, "I'm just saying, Yueyue, why did you suddenly buy so many things? It turns out that I wanted Yunyun to help you. Of course, it's okay, but Yunyun hasn't been able to read since he was a child.
Yes, what can she do to help you? Don’t let her help you or hold you back when you get there!"
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and said: "How could it be? I will teach Yunyun myself. It is what I asked Yunyun to do. I wonder if you agree with it, godfather?"
Chen Maowu asked curiously: "What happened?"
Lin Xiaoyue knew that in ancient times, merchants had the lowest status among scholars, farmers, and merchants, and the status of a storyteller should still be acceptable, so her godfather would not be very resistant to letting Yunyun be a storyteller.
She explained patiently: "There are storytellers in the teahouse every day. Now I am wearing men's clothing and telling stories to the guests on the stage. Because I have to open the restaurant again soon, I don't have time to tell stories, but this story is very important to me."
It's very important. I also want to use it to make money by selling books. I don't have any trustworthy friends in Yangming Town, so I thought of this. My godfather, you and your family are all people I can trust. I wonder if godfather agrees?"
Chen Maowu didn't have much resistance, he just didn't have much confidence in his daughter's ability.
"Is this really okay? I haven't even let her go to school. Basically, I know a few words and she only knows a few words. Isn't this really going to delay your business?"
Lin Xiaoyue saw Chen Yunyun blushing and lowering his head in silence. She knew that Yunyun was embarrassed by her godfather, and she felt a little sad. She held up Chen Yunyun's face and said firmly: "I believe in myself."
My vision is so smart, I can definitely do it!"
Chen Yunyun felt that she had no confidence in herself, but she didn't expect that Lin Xiaoyue believed in herself so much. Her remaining confidence was ignited again!
"Really? Sister Lin, can I really do it? But I don't know a few words, so don't you want to teach me from the beginning?"
Lin Xiaoyue thought it wouldn't be so troublesome. Before the invention of human writing, wasn't it all recorded and circulated by oral narration?
"I will teach you how to read and tell you stories. As long as you write down what I tell you every day, and be more courageous when you go on stage, there will be no problem at all. Brother Liang has many subordinates. He
People will keep you safe."
To be honest, Chen Yunyun was excited at first, but later hesitated because Chen Maowu didn't have confidence in her, so she lost confidence in herself.
Now Lin Xiaoyue has re-established her self-confidence, and she feels that she can do it again!
"Well, I want to give it a try! Although I don't know how to read, my brain is not stupid, and I can remember things clearly. Dad, do you support me?"
Chen Maowu looked at his daughter's expectant eyes. He couldn't help but nodded and said: "Support! Yueyue, if we go to your place like this, we will trouble you more. You should be stricter with her, so as not to embarrass you."
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and said: "Godfather, don't worry!"
At this time, Zhu Cuihua walked in with a steaming meal and said with a smile: "It's time to eat, Yueyue. Just have some at noon. I'll let your godfather kill the chicken in the evening."
Lin Xiaoyue stepped forward and took the food from her godmother's hand, "Okay, godmother, please sit down and eat."
Zhu Cuihua put two large pieces of eggs into Lin Xiaoyue's bowl, "I think everything in this room was brought by you, Yueyue, right? I went to the street to pull two pieces of good cloth and made two clothes specially for you.
Jacket, winter is coming soon, please dress warmly. Dongyuan Town is relatively poor and does not have particularly good cloth, so don’t dislike the old-fashioned style."
Lin Xiaoyue was moved in her heart. Her godmother really regarded her as her daughter, so she thought about buying more clothes for herself when the weather got cold. Unfortunately, she was clumsy and could only spend money to buy something to honor her godfather and godmother.
"Thank you, godmother! I like everything you cook. I'll try it after a good meal!"
Zhu Cuihua was happy and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay!"
The time at Chen's house was always relaxing and short. Lin Xiaoyue felt that apart from trying on the clothes made by her godmother, she helped Chen Yunyun pack his luggage in the afternoon. She seemed to have done nothing, but in the blink of an eye, the sun set in the afternoon.
At this time, Zhu Cuihua had washed the killed chicken and stewed it in a large iron pot. The whole yard was filled with the aroma of chicken.
The weather was getting colder. Lin Xiaoyue and Chen Yunyun rushed to sit on the firewood behind the earthen stove to keep warm. Lin Xiaoyue smelled the smell and her mouth watered. I have to say that the chicken stewed by the godmother was not firewood at all, it was very good.
eat!
Zhu Cuihua saw the two little greedy cats eagerly waiting to eat the chicken. She smiled and cut the chicken gizzards into cubes, then set up a small coal stove outside, and poured two large bowls of chicken soup from the big iron pot.
Put it in an iron pot and bake it, then pour some wheat flour into an empty bowl, add water, stir well and pour it into the iron pot, then add the chopped cubes, and soon a batter will form in the pot.
Before coming out, Zhu Cuihua sprinkled some more pepper and chopped green onion, and a large pot of steaming chicken gizzard batter came out.
"Don't just sit around, come in and eat the batter!" With that said, Zhu Cuihua took the iron pot to the main room and filled out two large bowls of batter.
Lin Xiaoyue can guess how delicious the batter is by smelling it!
She scooped a spoonful and put it in her mouth, nodded repeatedly, and praised: "Godmother, the chicken gizzard batter you made is so delicious! Try it quickly!"
How could Zhu Cuihua be willing to eat it?
She quickly shook her head and said, "I won't eat it. I've already eaten it when it was made. You two each have a bowl and eat it while it's hot!"
Lin Xiaoyue knew that her godmother was obviously lying. As soon as her godmother walked in, she and Chen Yunyun followed behind. How could her godmother have a chance to eat?
She went to get a bowl from the cupboard, divided one bowl out and handed it to her godmother, "Godmother, you have worked so hard, you should have a bowl! One bowl is enough for Yunyun and I, and the rest is for
Godfather keeps it!"
Zhu Cuihua's nose was sour. She knew that Yueyue was not that easy to fool. "Oh, you kid, I saw that you were very greedy, so I made chicken gizzard batter, but you gave it to us two."
Eat. Is that enough for you?"
Lin Xiaoyue covered her mouth and snickered. Adults always think you don't eat enough, they think you are cold, they think you have lost weight. In fact, why don't you eat enough?
She and Chen Yunyun looked at each other, smiled, and said in unison: "That's enough, that's enough! I'm going to eat chicken soon. If you eat too much, you won't be able to eat any more chicken!"
