Hearing her father's depressing words, Liu Yuniang did not shed tears or feel depressed. Instead, she consoled her with a smile: "Don't worry, father, take good care of yourself. I and I are at home!"
She is only about the same age as Su Qingluan. She looks thirteen or fourteen years old, but she is leaner and looks very capable.
Caring for a sick father is not an easy job. Although Yagyu's upper body can still move, and he can more or less use his strength to make Liu Yunniang's help in turning over as easy as possible, after all, Yagyu is an adult male.
What's more, as a former "trainer", Liu Sheng's physique is stronger than ordinary people. Even if he is bedridden for a period of time, his weight is heavier than ordinary people, which makes Liu Yuniang's activities of caring for patients more difficult.
"Hey...it would be great if Yun Niang had a brother..." Mrs. Xi sighed.
It wasn't that they were patriarchal, but she felt distressed and guilty when she saw the thin girl taking care of Yagyu alone, while Mrs. Xi could hardly help because she was out on business.
And isn’t that what Yagyu’s complaint is?
He has always been the strongest man. As long as his family's life is better, he can bear it no matter how hard or tired he is. As long as you think about your own little family, you will have the strength to do anything.
But God is blind, and he specializes in breaking the hemp rope at the smallest point. He is the backbone of the whole family, but an accident happened, and the couple fell from a high altitude while juggling.
He used his body to protect his mother-in-law, and Mrs. Xi was spared serious injuries. She only had some bumps, but she recovered in three to five days. However, Yagyu was seriously injured and could no longer feel anything below his waist.
Mrs. Xi and her daughter Liu Yunniang were naturally very anxious and sought medical treatment everywhere.
However, a medical clinic is not a charity hall after all, and seeking medical advice costs money. In the past few months since he was injured, in order to allow Yagyu to move freely again, mother and daughter have sought medical advice everywhere, and even prayed to gods and Buddhas.
For this reason, the family lost all their savings and had to move into this dilapidated alley on the outskirts of the county. Mrs. Xi had to shoulder the burden of the entire family, and her daughter was busy taking care of the patient Yagyu all day long.
But no matter how painful and tiring it was, even if they lost weight visibly, the mother and daughter never said a word of complaint in front of Yagyu Sheng. Only Yagyu Sheng himself saw it, was anxious in his heart, and even resented that he had become a drag on the entire family.
Seeing the look of self-blame on her husband's face again, Mrs. Xi quickly changed the topic: "Speaking of which, our bakery business has been particularly good these days!" She put down the burden she was carrying with a smile and pointed. He pointed inside and said, "Here, we don't even have to beat the closing drum, we're all selling!"
When her daughter Yun Niang saw what her mother was talking about, she quickly joined in and asked, "Oh, God, how much did this one sell for today?"
"I increased the price of the cooking cakes to three cents for two and two cents for each. I sold them for more than five hundred cents. The net profit was at least two to three hundred cents!" In total, the net profit doubled than before. More!
Now, Yun Niang cheered up and smiled a little more sincerely: "Oh, that's a lot!" Not to mention Yun Niang, even Yagyu Sheng's tightened brows relaxed a lot.
"Isn't it?" Mrs. Xi sighed, "I was wondering before, is the soybean oil used for lighting lamps really edible? Unexpectedly, I only slightly changed the cooking method of the cakes, and it became even more popular!"
Moreover, Mrs. Xi also found that the cakes made with the new method have a firmer, firmer texture and are very tough. The fundamental reason is that there is less water.
This even has the added benefit of easier storage.
Ordinary cooking cakes whose dough is fully fermented will go rancid in just three to five days if not stored properly in summer. But this kind of hard cooking cake can be stored for half a month even when the weather is hot.
"Auntie, did the old pancake maker tell you the recipe?" Yun Niang asked curiously.
"What kind of master is he?" Mrs. Xi shook her head, "That kid is only about the same age as you, but he is quite famous in the town - you still remember the 'Book of Fortune' from before, right?"
When Yagyu and his daughter heard the words "Juan Baicai", their eyes lit up.
They had "robbed" it once, and the burrito tasted really delicious. It was the most unforgettable of all the burritos they had ever eaten.
So when they learned that the sales of "Juan Baicai" were temporarily suspended, many neighbors sighed with regret. Other burritos may be of high quality and low price, but none can really match the taste of "Juan Bai Cai".
Madam Xi sighed: "That roll of wealth, and the sewer soup I mentioned, are all the craftsmanship of that young lady! Let's look at the improved recipe of this cooking cake... The young lady of the Su family is indeed very skilled in craftsmanship. ah!"
Liu Yunniang sighed: "Where did this little lady learn such skills? If I can learn a little bit, we can open a restaurant by ourselves!"
"How can it be so easy!" Liu Sheng shook his head, "Any master craftsman who has a good craftsmanship has some unique skills that should not be passed on to others. If that young lady is really someone's disciple, how can she just ask like this? Not to mention that someone is willing to give the whole recipe. Tell us, and that means giving us our jobs!"
Yagyu's wife has been performing jugglery all year round, so she is naturally considered a "craftsman", so she understands that many skills are "not taught to outsiders".
Because of this, Su Qingluan told them the method of improving the cooking cakes without any concealment, and they were so grateful and surprised - after all, if they meet such stingy masters, if they hear their disciples leaking their proud craftsmanship, they will be easily offended. If you do this, you will be punished, and in severe cases, you may be expelled from the school and cut off all contact with you.
"When we travel in the world, the most important thing is 'loyalty'." With the support of his daughter, Liu Sheng struggled to sit up. "Besides, because the cake business is good, our whole family will benefit from it. We must never forget other people's loyalty." Kindness.”
Su Qingluan didn't know at this moment that Mrs. Xi's family wanted to "repay the favor" because of her few words. She now had another thing to worry about.
Looking at her sister Su Xueyan, who was shedding tears and looking at her with watery eyes, trying to "get by with being cute", Su Qingluan was a little speechless: "You know how to cry now?"
"Sister...I didn't mean it..."
"If you did it on purpose, I would not stand here calmly and listen to your explanation now, but I would slap your hand directly!" Su Qingluan shook off the book in his hand that was obviously wet with water.
Although the book has now returned to a dry state, the entire book is now in a bulging and wrinkled state. What's even more terrible is that this book is not a modern graphite printed paper, but a handwritten book.
Now, because the handwriting on the handwritten book has been wet, a considerable part of the writing has begun to be blurred. Even some words with more strokes have become blurred and difficult to read.
"So," Su Qingluan stared at her sister's crying face, "I put the book away, how did you turn it out and sprinkle it with water?"
