On this day, Xiao Mu went to the county town to clean up the shop again, while Ye Luoxin was at home drawing decoration plans for the braised meat shop.
They have almost bought all the seasonings and so on. When the decoration is completed, their shop can be opened.
In Ye Luoxin's plan, the front shop was divided into two parts.
The outer third is used for the counter, and the inner two thirds are used for the kitchen.
The kitchen and front room are completely separated, keeping the outside clean and clear.
Another house can be built in the back yard to serve as a warehouse and temporary residence together with the original two.
She was painting seriously when Dahua approached gently and brought her a bowl of grape cake.
The grapes were the same ones they picked last time. Because they were too sour, Xu Zhengxiang made them into grape cakes.
The specific method is to mash the grapes, then filter out the grape skins and grape seeds with fine gauze, boil the retained grape juice in a pot, wait until the water is almost evaporated, add a little tapioca flour and sugar, and it is ready. A thick grape paste.
The grape paste made in this way is sweet and sour, and after cooling, it has a unique flavor.
"Girl, grandma told you to try it quickly. If it feels sour, she will add more sugar!"
After arriving at the Xiao family, the names of Dahua and Xiaohua changed several times. In the end, they followed the example of the rich family and called them girls. I thought it was more smooth, so they settled on it.
Ye Luoxin doesn't care much about this, but she can call it anything.
She put down the pen, picked up the spoon and took a bite of the grape cake, and immediately narrowed her eyes in soreness.
"Mom, did you put sugar in this? It's so sour!"
"Then I'll go tell grandma quickly." Dahua said and left.
Ye Luoxin stopped her, "Don't worry, we'll go later."
With that said, she stood up, took out 30 coins from the drawer, and handed it to Dahua.
"Girl, what is this?" Dahua took the money and was a little at a loss.
"Didn't I promise you that I would sell the patterns you embroidered?
I didn't think about it before, so I finally went to the embroidery shop yesterday to ask about it. Five embroidery samples were sold for a total of 30 cents. Because the embroidery thread and embroidery cloth you used are very cheap, they can't be sold at a high price. "
"Thank you, girl! This is already a lot!" Dahua was very grateful, but the next moment, she reached out and handed the copper coins back: "I am now a servant of the girl's family, and the girl does not need to give me any more money."
Ye Luoxin didn't take it back and pushed her hand back:
"This is different. You have made this embroidery pattern before, and I have promised you that you will keep the money you have to collect. But I will not pay you any more for what you do after coming to the Xiao family. "
"I know. The girl bought me and Xiaohua to save our lives. We are willing to work for the girl. We don't want any reward, as long as we have a bite to eat." Dahua said quickly.
"Okay, what you're doing now is very good, but I have more important things I want to leave to you.
There are some ripe rabbit skins in the warehouse. I want to use these to make some small purses. You can think about it and see if you can make them. "
"Rabbit, rabbit skin!" Dahua pursed her lips.
"What? No?"
"No, girl, I was thinking, rabbit fur is so expensive, what if I damage it."
"I know you are handy, so I can rest assured if I leave the things to you. Don't worry about it. I'll get the rabbit skin to you later. Now you go and ask your mother to add sugar to the grape paste, and by the way, add more to my bowl. "
"Hey!" Dahua responded immediately.
She was carrying the bowl and wanted to go to the kitchen. As soon as she walked into the yard, she heard someone outside the door asking, "Excuse me, is this Xiao Changhe's house?"
The door was open, and Dahua looked back at the two people standing at the door.
A village woman in her 40s and a girl wearing silk clothes.
Dahua replied: "This is Grandpa Changhe's house. Who are you?"
"We are Ye Luoxin's family, Luoxin should be at home." The two of them said and walked into the yard.
"The girl's mother-in-law?" When Dahua heard this, she ran to the kitchen without even bothering to add sugar to the grape ointment. When she saw Xu Zhengxiang, she hurriedly said: "Grandma, it's the girl's mother-in-law who is here!"
Xu Zhengxiang was startled.
For a moment, I didn't realize who Ye Luoxin's natal family was.
She walked to the kitchen door and saw the two people standing in the yard, and she understood immediately.
It was the shameless Zou and Ye Qingqing.
No wonder Xu Zhengxiang couldn't think of it.
For someone like Zou, who treated Ye Luoxin like that before, who would have thought that she would still dare to come to her door!
"Whose dog is barking, get away from me quickly, or I will close the door and beat the dog!" Xu Zhengxiang stood at the door, holding a spoon dipped in grape paste in his hand.
Rarely, Mrs. Zou was not annoyed when she heard this. She took a step forward and shouted affectionately: "Mom, it turns out you are at home. I am here to give you a gift today!"
She said, raising the paper bag in her hand.
"Bah!" Xu Zhengxiang spat hard.
"Who is your biological mother? Isn't it bad luck? I bought our Luoxin for 50 taels of silver and has nothing to do with your family at all!"
"What did my mother-in-law say?" Zou said quickly: "No matter what, Luo Xin's surname is Ye, and she turned into ashes. She is also a member of the Ye family, right?"
"I am a member of the Ye family, but not Ye Dacheng's family. My father is Ye Huaixing and has nothing to do with your family!" Ye Luoxin also walked out of the room.
"Luo Xin is here too. What do you mean? When you met your sister and mother, you didn't ask us to sit down and give us a cup of tea?" Zou asked.
"Our tea is only for people to drink, not for dogs!" Xu Zhengxiang pointed at the two people with a spoon and said to Dahua: "Dahua, get out of here!"
"Why!"
Dahua has already noticed that these two people are very unpopular.
She stepped forward and said to Zou and Ye Qingqing: "My girl and grandma don't want to see you, so you should leave quickly."
Neither of the Zou family moved.
"If you don't leave, then I will have no choice but to push you out." Dahua said and was about to take action.
"You little girl, do you know the rules? How dare you attack your elders!" Zou said and pushed Dahua to the ground.
"You dare to do anything when you come to my house. I think you are impatient!" Xu Zhengxiang said and was about to move forward.
At this moment, a big broom suddenly rushed out from the backyard.
No, to be precise, it was Xiaohua who rushed out of the backyard carrying a big broom.
The broom was so big that it almost blocked half of her body.
She aimed the broom at the Zou family and swept over them, shouting: "I'll let you bully my girl, let you bully my sister! I'll fight with you!"
