The women of the Yan family were busy making braised meat and spicy skewers. The ingredients here were plentiful, so the spicy pot base could be made, so Chen Xun asked them to make spicy skewers.
Of course, in addition to spicy skewers, you can also make skewers with clear soup. They are all for sale anyway, and they are made according to everyone’s favorite taste.
As for braised food, which farming or food article does not include braised food?
Braised meat is the biggest weapon. In addition to braised pig heads, braised pig trotters, braised pig offal, and braised eggs, Yan's braised meat also has braised tofu, dried tofu, yuba, mushrooms, etc., as long as it can be braised, whether it is a meat dish or a
Vegetarian dishes are available.
People here in Lin County can still eat spicy food, and the spicy skewers that Chen Xun asked Su to make are not very spicy, so the business is also very good.
Chen Xun also asked her natal family to help open up sales. Her natal family's father is the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and the braised food delivered to the restaurant is also a very good market.
The women set up stalls selling braised meat and spicy skewers, while the men did carpentry and sold toys. After gradually opening up the market, the Yan family's life became much better.
The Yan family's business has improved, and the people in the village have also benefited.
After all, cooking requires a lot of ingredients. The Yan family's vegetable patch does not have that many vegetables that can be sold for such a long time, so they have to buy them from other families in the village.
There are also fish. The villagers catch fish and sell them to the Yan family. Then they make fish balls, fish cakes and the like and sell them, which makes a profit.
Although the Yan family makes money for themselves, they have not left the villagers behind. In addition, the Yan family is also considered a relatively large family in the village, so some people can't do anything even though they are jealous, they just say mean things behind their backs.
And Yan Lizhou also educates the Yan family about illiteracy every day, so that they will not be unable to read a word or even arithmetic.
Although the Yan family is very busy during this period, Yan Lizhou will not relax at all when it comes to learning. He asks them to spend half an hour every day to learn reading and arithmetic with him.
The entire Yan family, from father and mother in their fifties to nearly sixty, down to the two or three-year-old baby, all had to learn to read from Yan Lizhou.
In such an atmosphere, Chen Xun lived very comfortably.
Although the Yan family's house was not as big as Prince Ning's mansion and she had to squeeze in a smaller room with Yan Lizhou, she didn't dislike it very much.
After all, the other rooms are not just for two people.
You should also know that the unmarried girls all live in the same room, and the nephews who are still young and not yet married also live in the same room.
She and Yan Lizhou were able to have separate rooms because Yan Lizhou was favored.
In addition, now that the idea given by Chen Yu has made money, the Yan family has become more friendly to her and did not say harsh words about her and Yan Lizhou having separate rooms.
The women's food business is doing well, and the men's business is gradually getting back on track. The drawings of toys Chen Xun gave include toys for children and adults - such as billiards and table tennis.
As for other ball sports equipment, she couldn't come up with it.
But even so, the men also made a lot of money.
Yan Sanzhuang, Yan Erqiang and Chen Yu taught them carefully, and they learned more advanced woodworking and carving skills, while the others just took it easy.

The Yan family was prospering, and Chen Xun, her eldest brother Chen Ying and her second brother Chen Cang also developed their own careers at her suggestion.
Time flies by very quickly. With everyone from the Yan family and the Chen family working together, the new year has passed quickly, and Yan Lizhou participated in this college examination.
Unlike other examinations, the time and place of the college examination are not specified. Basically, they are not certain.
As for this year's college examination, the county magistrate has set it in March. At this time, it is not too cold in Lin County, and the candidates can have a better time in the examination room.
Yan Lizhou studied hard for half a year and finally entered the examination room.
"What should I do? Can Kuro pass the exam?"
"Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about? Our Jiulang has made rapid progress, he will definitely pass the exam." After hearing what her man said, Yan's mother patted him unhappily.
Her Jiulang is a literary star, so how could he not be admitted as a scholar?
Father Yan looked at his wife who blindly trusted his son, turned his head helplessly, and then looked worried again.
My son has been studying for so many years. After passing the Tongsheng test before, he has never been a scholar again. He is worried that this time will be the same as the previous times.
Chen Xun looked at Yan's father and Yan's mother's worried expressions and did not express any opinions.
She still believed in Yan Lizhou. After reading for so many years, if he couldn't even pass the scholar examination, then all his reading would be in vain.
And in the past six months, she has often given Yan Lizhou supplements, and there are a lot of elixirs on the second floor of her space supermarket.
Although those elixirs may not necessarily improve IQ, they are still very effective in improving some memory.
It was just a college exam, and Yan Lizhou would definitely pass it. As for where he would get in the exam, that was all a matter of how well he performed, and she couldn't guarantee it.
In the past few days when Yan Lizhou was going to take the exam, Chen Xun followed her to the county seat and went back to live with her parents' family.
Because of the ideas proposed by Chen Xun, both Chen Ying and Chen Cang have developed well, and her two sisters-in-law have no objection to her returning to her parents' house for a few days.
They all hope that this sister-in-law can give them some advice. They don't expect to earn as much as the Chen Ying brothers or the women of the Yan family, but they also hope that they can have some income.
"My sister-in-law's female beauty is very good, why not make some fabrics?" Chen Yu looked at her eldest sister-in-law and said.
Her eldest sister-in-law also has a background. She is the daughter of the shopkeeper of Cloth Village in Lin County. Her natal mother also worked as an embroiderer back then, so her eldest sister-in-law is quite good at female red embroidery.
If that's the case, her sister-in-law has connections and skills, so she should be pretty good at making some embroidery or making dolls or something like that?
Chen Xun's second sister-in-law's family is not as well off as her elder sister-in-law, but she is the daughter of a scholar. She has also learned accounting and painting from her father since she was a child. Although she is not technically very good, she is not incompetent either.
Chen Xun was thinking, if possible, her eldest sister-in-law and her second sister-in-law could join forces to start a business together. The eldest sister-in-law would provide the skills and connections, and her second sister-in-law would take care of the accounts?
Anyway, it was up to them to decide how to discuss it specifically. Chen Xun just made suggestions and told her sister-in-law and second sister-in-law about her ideas for dolls, animal pajamas, cute children's clothes, etc.
"Muniang, you are really smart." Sister-in-law of the Chen family couldn't help but praise.
Of course, they won't complain about why the girl didn't tell them this when she was still in her parents' family. They think she only learned about these things after she got married, under the guidance of her husband.
Anyway, Chen Xun and Yan Lizhou cooperated very well. On the Yan family's side, it was because Yan Lizhou was influenced by Chen Xun, while on the Chen family's side, it was the other way around.
The couple worked together very well, so the Chen family and the Yan family did not doubt them, and were very grateful to them for helping everyone so much and making everyone live a good life now.
"It's all because my husband is smart." Chen Xun said with a smile. She didn't feel guilty at all when she threw the pot to Yan Lizhou.
After hearing this, the eldest sister-in-law of the Chen family and the second sister-in-law of the Chen family also praised Yan Lizhou. They used to think that their sister-in-law was just looking at her appearance.
They thought that a person who had been studying for nearly twenty years but had not even passed the scholar examination was not that smart. Unexpectedly, how long had it been since their sister-in-law was married? She actually became smarter as well.
Chen Xun smiled and did not explain. It was okay for others to think whatever they thought, as long as they did not doubt that she was a different person.
