Chapter 233 Treat
"Boss, why do I feel like it's not as delicious as what we make ourselves?"
Liu whispered in Boss Zhou's ear.
"Look at you, you can't shut up even when you're eating. Eat first and talk later if you have anything to say." It would be so embarrassing if the boss heard it.
They are all in the food business. If a customer says the food is not tasty in front of him, he will not feel good.
"I just said it casually. Forget it, let's eat first."
Wang Fugui and Zhou Laoer were nibbling at the rice in their bowls. The taste was actually okay, but it was just that their family’s cooking skills were too good, so the comparison between the two was a lot worse.
There was a rich variety of cold dishes on the table, with several kinds of vegetables in it. The taste was good, but it was a little lacking in spiciness.
Zhou Laoer was eating the dumplings in the bowl, thinking that it would be nice if he could dip them in some chili.
I feel anxious if I don't eat this meal.
After the meal, Wang Fugui took a clove of garlic from the shop and ate it in small bites. It was obvious that he was still not satisfied.
"Uncle Fugui, are you full? If you're still hungry, let's go buy some more cakes."
"Come on, come on. I think you have no place to spend the reward money. Go home quickly. I'm already full. No need to buy anything else."
Wang Fugui chewed the garlic in his mouth. The taste was so delicious that he hurriedly urged the boy from the Zhou family to go home.
All the work has been done, the meal has been eaten, and all the things have been bought, it's time to go home.
When Boss Zhou heard the village chief's urging, he chuckled, whipped his donkey, and started off home.
Wang Fugui in the car hugged his small wooden plaque tightly to prevent it from being damaged in any way.
It was mid-afternoon when they arrived at Lianglin Village. Passing by the village chief's house, Wang Fugui jumped out of the car first and took down the small wooden plaque.
"Shou Ren Shou Hou, I will ask my boys to come to your house to find you later. Make the tool as soon as possible so that it can be used sooner."
"Okay, Uncle Fugui, thank you very much today."
"Why thank you? Look, I got some benefits too~"
Wang Fugui pushed the small wooden plaque in his hand forward, and the meaning was obvious.
Everyone understood, so Boss Zhou smiled and drove the donkey cart home.
As soon as I entered the house, the two children, Zhou Mingyuan and Zhou Minghua, surrounded me.
"Uncle, is there anything delicious?"
"Uncle, is there anything delicious?"
"Hahaha, two foodies. Yes, yes, I'll get it for you later." Liu smiled and took the backpack down from the car.
Fortunately, there were some snacks given by the master in the backpack, otherwise the two children would be disappointed.
Hearing the noise, Old Mrs. Zhou came out of the house.
"Mom, this has been done. The county magistrate said this thing is very useful, so he kept the wooden board. I will ask the carpenters and blacksmiths to produce it in the next few days. By then, every village will be able to get a few."
While Boss Zhou was talking about what happened in the county, he handed the reward money to Old Lady Zhou.
Old Mrs. Zhou took it and looked at it. It was another ten taels of silver, wrapped in red cloth, which looked very festive.
"Okay, okay, that's great, let's offer it up!" She smiled, rewrapped the silver, walked into the house and stuffed it under the old man's tablet.
People say that the family is so rich because the old man has accumulated good deeds in the underworld.
Although Old Mrs. Zhou didn't quite believe these rumors, she still went to pay her respects as well, thinking of the principle of "it's better to believe it than not to believe it".
"Have you had any meal in town?"
"Mom, we've already eaten it, but it's just like what San Ya said before, the food in the restaurants in this county is not as good as what we cook at home."
Boss Zhou scratched his head and said with a smile.
Mrs. Liu next to her took out all the cloth she had bought and introduced them in bundles.
"Okay, the colors I bought are all very nice, and I can make clothes in a few days."
Old Mrs. Zhou touched the cloth in front of her and smiled so much that her eyebrows flew up.
"Do it for the children at home first. We adults don't need to worry. We can make do with the old ones as replacements."
On the contrary, the children in the family grow fast.
"Yes, yes, good. I bought some for Sidan and will send them to Hongyu right away. Children's clothes are easy to make. She can make them when the child is asleep."
"Okay, thank you for being thoughtful and thinking of this."
"It's not me who is thoughtful, it was the second brother who chose it."
"Oh, no wonder." Her second child has always been more meticulous since he was young.
Zhou Mingyuan brought the plate to the table and shared the pastries given by the county magistrate with everyone.
Zhou Mingshu took a piece and ate it slowly. Oh my god, it was so sweet!
She needs to drink some water to calm down...
"Sandan, do you still want to eat some pastries?" Looking at the half piece of pastry left next to him, Zhou Mingshu didn't want to eat anymore.
She is not a person who likes snacks, so it would be better if someone is willing to share the burden with her.
"Eat, what's wrong, sister?" Zhou Mingyuan chewed the delicacy in his hand in small bites.
"I don't like this cake, it's a bit too sweet, why don't you eat it for me?"
It was not long after she had dinner, and she was not hungry.
"Aha, that's great!" Zhou Mingyuan was happy to eat what his sister left.
After Zhou Mingshu sent the things out, he continued to busy himself with prying the corn in his hand.
When she learned that the county magistrate had left her a wooden board, she wondered whether she should make two more, which would make things faster.
Without waiting for her to make any move, Zhou Mingzhi ran to the next room and it was obvious that he was going to make tools.
Not long after, a few people came to the door.
Zhu stood up to greet them, and when she got closer, she saw that they were the village chief's sons, holding some wooden boards and bamboo tubes in their hands.
"Sister-in-law, let's ask Shouren and Shouhou to make something."
"Okay, you guys go to the small courtyard. Dazhi is working on it right now, just follow and learn." Zhu took them to the next door, where Dazhi was making tools, making the clanging sound.
This is a good thing, only those who use it will know.
After several days of busy work, every household in Lianglin Village used the tools.
The Zhou family, who had prepared in advance, had already pried open the corn.
After an autumn rain, Old Mrs. Zhou, her son and daughter-in-law turned over the remaining vegetable fields and planted all the autumn vegetable seeds.
"Mom, now that I have some free time, I feel uncomfortable sitting at home all day. I really miss the days when I sold jelly on the street."
Liu had a sad look on her face and threw the vegetable seeds in her hand.
Old Mrs. Zhou and a few maids nearby smiled when they heard this.
"Look at you, can't you just sit back and relax for a while? Now that we have money at home and there's not much work to do in the fields, wouldn't it be nice to take a break?"
"It's not bad, but I just don't have the energy anymore. I feel weak all over. If I continue to rest like this, I'll have to rest until March next year. Just thinking about it makes me feel dizzy."
"Aunt, I have an idea. Why don't we start another business, selling hot food in winter and cold food in summer. By combining the two, you will definitely not be idle."
Zhou Mingshu thought of a business that was very suitable for winter.
