Chapter 42: A Blind Date

 The Yueyang preserved egg and salted egg shop jointly opened by the Li family and sister-in-law Yin, has been open for a month, and they happily conducted their first inventory.

This month’s business is very good without taking stock.

The preserved and salted eggs they serve at Yueyangxing are indeed very delicious. According to Sister-in-law Yin: The preserved and salted eggs in Pingjiang City are similar to theirs in terms of taste, but none are as good as theirs!
Preserved eggs and salted eggs taste good, so you don’t have to worry about selling them.

In addition, on the first day of opening, Wangfu Bieye came over and ordered preserved eggs and salted eggs. With Sister-in-law Yin's vigorous publicity regardless of the occasion, everyone knew about it in less than half a month.

Including Sansi Houya, at least half of the prominent families in Pingjiang City went to Yueyangxing to order preserved eggs and salted eggs.

This segment accounts for at least half of Yueyangxing’s sales.

These sales were beyond Sister-in-law Yin's expectations. Fortunately, Sister-in-law Yin responded quickly, and Li Jinzhu and Li Yuzhu are both capable and able to endure hardships. The Zhang family also strongly supports Sister-in-law Yin's business.

Zhang Da and Mr. Zhang, together with Li Wenliang, were very busy, helping to hire people, buy materials, and find another workshop. Finally, they expanded the workshop in time and sold goods.

The profits that were counted have been invested in expanding the workshop a long time ago. Several people did not see a big sum of money. They only looked at the numbers on the books and it seemed that they were not enough.

Sister-in-law Yin suggested going to a restaurant to have a banquet and celebrate.

Li Jinzhu and Li Yuzhu calculated how much copper money they would make themselves after buying chicken and fish, and how much copper money it would cost to go to a restaurant. There was a big difference. Li Jinzhu and Sister-in-law Yin suggested: Let's make it ourselves.

Sister-in-law Yin laughed and nodded.

When it comes to life, she admires the Li sisters.

The celebration banquet was held at the Li family. Sister-in-law Yin went home, changed her clothes, took her son Dabao, and carried a jar of five kilograms of red wine into the Li family.

Sister-in-law Yin is a considerate person, so she thought that the Li family must not have a wine pot, a wine glass, a small charcoal stove with hot wine and charcoal, so she put them in a basket and asked Dabao to carry them over.

Li Xuedong took Dabao and carried the charcoal stove to the kitchen to burn charcoal and put it into the small stove. Li Xiaonan helped Sister-in-law Yin break the seal on the wine jar, poured the wine into the wine pot, and put it on the charcoal stove to warm.

Chef Li Jinzhu, Li Yuzhu took over, and Li Yinzhu started the fire. The dishes were quickly cooked and the table was placed in the main room.

Fried chicken, steamed fish, freshly bought duck in sauce, braised pork, homemade preserved eggs, vegetables grown in the backyard, the whole table is full.

The Li siblings must let Sister-in-law Yin take the seat, but Sister-in-law Yin declined a few words and became rude.

There are seven people at a table, and she is the oldest, so she should sit at the head of the table.

Sister-in-law Yin’s son Dabao is accompanying her in the last seat.

Li Xiaonan put the cup on the table and picked up the pot to pour the wine.

Li Yinzhu first picked up the cup, smelled it carefully, then stuck out his tongue and licked it.

This is her first time drinking.

"How does it taste?" Sister-in-law Yin asked with a smile.

"Weird." Li Yinzhu said.

"Master Xiu Cai, give it a try." Sister-in-law Yin and Li Xuedong laughed.

Li Xuedong has been a scholar for half a year. He drank a lot of wine at banquets and social gatherings every now and then. He picked up the cup, took a sip, tasted it, nodded quickly and said: "This wine is delicious, you must have it."

It’s been a few years, right?”

"Our scholar, Mr. Yin, is a good judge of things." Sister-in-law Yin laughed, "This is my daughter Hong, who has been married for more than thirty years."

When Li Xiaonan heard about it, she hurriedly picked it up and took a sip.

"How is it?" Sister-in-law Yin looked at Li Xiaonan and asked with a smile.

"Well, it's really good!" Li Xiaonan took another sip.

"Drink slowly and eat the vegetables first. This wine is very strong." Sister-in-law Yin said with a smile.

Li Yinzhu imitated Li Xiaonan, took a sip, took a breath, and quickly grabbed a piece of braised pork.

Sister-in-law Yin seemed to have a good drinking capacity. Holding a cup, she served the five Li siblings one by one.

The table was full of food and the plates were in a mess, and the jar of wine was almost full.

Li Yuzhu was swaying, clearing the table with unsteady steps. Li Xuedong dragged Dabao into the yard to test how well he had memorized the book from the day before yesterday.

Li Yinzhu drank too much, hugged Li Jinzhu's arm, and called her "eldest sister" one after another.

Li Xiaonan didn't expect that her drinking capacity was quite good, but she was just a little dazed. She stood up and thought about it, took a teapot, boiled water in the kitchen and made tea. Strong tea can relieve hangover.

Sister-in-law Yin drank the most. She dragged a chair next to Li Jinzhu, patted Li Jinzhu and kept talking.

It doesn't matter how big or small the fire is for boiling water. Li Xiaonan boiled the water, made tea and brought it into the main room.

"...Amei, let me tell you, I am holding back a lot of anger in my heart! I have been holding it in for more than ten years, and finally!"

Sister-in-law Yin giggles beautifully.

"Amei, I'm telling you, I think I can let out my breath now, so I don't have to hold it back!"

Li Xiaonan poured a few cups of tea and left them to dry. She dragged a chair and sat between Sister-in-law Yin and the eldest sister, holding her chin and obeying.

"Amei, do you know why I named our preserved egg shop Yueyang?"

Sister-in-law Yin leaned forward and got in front of Li Jinzhu. Before Li Jinzhu could speak, Sister-in-law Yin leaned back and giggled.

"Do you know the name of my mother's preserved egg shop?"

"Old name of the Yin family?" Li Jinzhu finally answered.

"No! That's because people knew my maiden name was Yin, so they called me by my surname. The Yin family's old nickname was Xingyang Laohao, so I named our preserved egg shop Yueyang Hao!"

Sister-in-law Yin gritted her teeth and patted Li Jinzhu on the shoulder.

"Do you want to overpower the old number in Xingyang?" Li Xiaonan raised her head and asked.

"Look, our grandma is so smart! I just like this child! I just like smart girls! What's wrong with my grandma! Look at our grandma, how good she is! What's worse than her male cousin? You

Tell me! What’s worse than a male servant!"

Sister-in-law Yin gritted her teeth again at the end.

"Sister-in-law has a younger brother?" Li Xiaonan asked clearly.

"I am an only child, how can I have any younger brothers! Bah!" Sister-in-law Yin sighed.

Li Jinzhu looked shocked.

Sister-in-law Yin obviously has a younger brother...

"I have been an only child for seventeen years. From the age of three or four, I learned to make preserved eggs and salted eggs from my father. When I was seven or eight years old, I went to the shop to look after accounts and learn how to do business. My father said all day long that although his daughter

She is a daughter, but she is doing well and doing business well, so she is much better than her son."

Sister-in-law Yin paused for a while, then let out a long sigh.

"Then why did you adopt a younger brother?" Li Xiaonan asked.

"Look at our grandma, how smart we are." Sister-in-law Yin pinched Li Xiaonan's cheek.

"Sister-in-law's parents?" Li Jinzhu hesitated, not daring to ask.

Sister-in-law Yin is probably like them. Without her parents, she can only be bullied by others.

"That's great!" Sister-in-law Yin snorted, and said with a bit of a yin and yang tone: "In the past ten years or so, I was confused by lard, but later I realized that a fake son is also a son, and a real daughter is still a daughter.



"When our business grows, let's go to Gaoyou and buy the old Xingyang store." Li Xiaonan looked at Sister-in-law Yin and said with a smile.

Sister-in-law Yin burst out laughing, raised her hand and patted Li Xiaonan on the head, pressed it on Li Xiaonan's shoulder, and stood up unsteadily.

"Okay, it's time for me to go back. We have to get up early tomorrow. We have to buy more eggs quickly. It's the twelfth lunar month and eggs are getting more expensive day by day.

"If our little grandma wants to buy an old store in Xingyang, we have to plan carefully and make more money!"
