Chapter 18 Dragging Zhang Ying and his wife into business
As night falls, the family sits down in the main room.
Lu Lin, who had run into the kitchen several times to eat secretly, immediately picked up a handful of dried fish and stuffed it into his mouth as soon as it was served.
Wang Xiuqin slapped her second son on the head, "You still eat it. Your third sister-in-law put a lot of chili peppers and ate too much. If your throat hurts tomorrow, don't cry."
"Mom, why are you hitting me? If you want to hit me, just hit Sister-in-law San. Who asked Sister-in-law San to make the fish so delicious?" Lu Lin rubbed his head angrily, then turned his eyes to the spicy strips. While Wang Xiuqin was picking up vegetables, she picked up a spicy stick and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Is your third sister-in-law cooking it for you to eat alone? You don't know how to exercise moderation, and you want your third sister-in-law to take the blame for you... Damn boy, I told you, you still eat it if you can't remember it."
"Yeah! It's delicious. Fourth brother and Yaomei, try it quickly. This is even more delicious than dried fish." Lu Lin quickly picked up a spicy stick and put it into Lu Bei's bowl. "Third sister-in-law, what is this? Meat ?"
“Hmph! Didn’t you ask the second aunt to hit me?” Ning Xi snorted pretending to be angry. How dare you use her as a shield?
"Third sister-in-law, I was wrong." A certain kid admitted his mistake aggrievedly. After admitting his mistake, Ning Xi still refused to pay attention to her, and tugged at Lu Nan's clothes. "Third brother..."
"Why are you still acting like a child?" Lu Nan rubbed Ning Xi's head lovingly.
Ning Xi pursed her lips and gave Lu Nan a roll of her eyes. She didn't know who said she was a child, but now she blamed her for acting like a child.
“Sister-in-law, what is this? It’s delicious.” Lu Bei ate a spicy stick and liked it very much.
“This is called spicy strips, made of rice.”
“You two should eat less, otherwise you’ll get angry if you eat too much.” Lu Nan warned, and gave Ning Xi the fish in his bowl.
Ning Xi looked down at the fish in the bowl, her face began to turn pale in a daze.
She has a shadow on the fish.
In her previous life, Shen Dazhi once got drunk and grabbed the fish bones on the table and stuffed them into her mouth. He also used chopsticks to force the fish bones into her throat.
Her mouth and throat were full of fish bones. She couldn't even open her mouth after vomiting blood. It took doctors more than ten hours to pull out the fish bones in her mouth one by one.
Lu Nan grabbed her hand that was placed under the table and squeezed it gently. "The thorns were picked out."
She raised her head and looked at him. He knew that he was afraid of eating fish?
Zhang Ying chuckled, "Look at how considerate our Xiao Nan is. I don't have anyone to help me pick out the fish bones."
"Are you still young?" Lu He was drinking. When his wife said this, he rolled his eyes at her speechlessly, but he also gave her a piece of fish in a polite way.
"Thank you, Brother Nan." Ning Xi lowered her head and smiled mockingly. How could he know that she didn't eat fish? He was just afraid that she might get a bite, so he picked out the fish bones!
Lu Nan was like a tireless picker, picking at fish bones with great pleasure. He didn't stop until Ning Xi put down the bowl and chopsticks, and ate slowly.
After dinner, Ning Xi, Wang Xiuqin and their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat in the yard to enjoy the shade.
Zhang Ying put the spicy sticks that she had finally grabbed into her mouth, and while chewing, she praised, "Xiao Xi, your cooking skills are also very good. It's the first time I've ever seen a small fish cook so well. This spicy stick is the same, just..." A bowl of rice can actually make something so delicious, and the pickled fish is also delicious. Your cooking skills are better than those cooked by the chefs in state-owned restaurants." Wang Xiuqin also smiled, "Xiao Xi is. Keep it secret, if anything happens at home in the future, you will be in charge."
Ning Xi smiled slightly, "Second aunt, second sister-in-law, do you think it would be okay if I took the spicy strips and spicy dried fish to the market to sell?"
Zhang Ying nodded immediately, "Of course, no one dislikes such delicious food."
Wang Xiuqin was obviously more experienced. After a pause, he asked, "Xiao Xi, do you want to do business with these two things?"
"Yeah! I have this plan. I can earn more money to treat Brother Nan's leg." Ning Xi didn't say anything nonsense. Lu Nan's leg can't be cured in a short while, and it's impossible for her to be pregnant. I have been going up the mountain to collect herbs. In the later period, I had to buy medicinal materials.
Wang Xiuqin glanced at the people who were still drinking in the hall and said in a low voice, "That boy is a stubborn donkey. When he first came back, he took him to Dr. Chen from Renxintang. Dr. Chen said that there was no chance of his leg being cured." He can only give it a try, but once he heard that he could only give it a try, he refused to let him get treatment. He refused to listen to us no matter what we tried to do. If you want him to have his leg treated, he might not agree. "
“I said I wanted to treat his leg today, but he didn’t refuse.” He didn’t refuse, and even asked her to buy a silver needle, which was a tacit agreement that she would treat his leg.
"You treat him?" Wang Xiuqin's eyes widened in disbelief. She heard something, no, no, she must have heard it wrong.
Being suspected, Ning Xi was not angry and said with a smile, "Second Aunt, I started studying medicine when I was in junior high school."
"Xiao Xi, you actually know medical skills. Then show it to my sister-in-law. My appetite is very bad these days. If it weren't for the food you cooked tonight, I wouldn't be able to eat a few mouthfuls." Zhang Ying was simple-minded, and Ning Xi said she Yes, she believed it, and because she was really not feeling well, she wanted Ning Xi to take a look.
Ning Xi asked Zhang Ying to reach out and check her pulse, "Second sister-in-law, you must have been constipated these days!"
"It's obvious." Zhang Ying smiled awkwardly. Who has the nerve to talk about constipation? "I haven't been to the toilet for a few days. I feel terribly uncomfortable. My mother asked me to get some medicine. I I felt so embarrassed that I didn’t go.”
"You can't even get out of the toilet, how can you eat? Second sister-in-law, wait for me for a while." Ning Xi got up and walked home to grab a pair of herbal medicines for Zhang Ying. Fortunately, she left the herbs she might need. , otherwise Zhang Ying might have to hold it in all night.
"Sister-in-law, take this medicine and drink half a bowl of it. It will solve the problem of constipation at night. Take this medicine first, and then I will give you two pieces of medicine to regulate your stomach. You should probably drink water. If it’s not caused by it, you still need to drink more water in the future.”
“Sure, I’ll go get it done in a moment.” Zhang Ying hurriedly took the medicine and brought up the previous topic, “Xiao Xi, you really want to go out to do business.”
Ning Xi nodded, "Yeah! I want to give it a try."
Wang Xiuqin was silent for a while, "Xiao Xi, have you ever thought about other issues? How many fish can you net by yourself? It's enough to feed yourself in one day. How much can you sell it for? The same goes for the spicy strips. What's the price?" Wang Yu wants to make spicy strips again, how much time do you have to make them, and how many can you make? What if you, a little wife, get into trouble when you go out to set up a stall? "
"So I need help!" Ning Xi stacked a small stool next to Zhang Ying and said, "Second sister-in-law, if you believe in my business, let's go out to set up a stall together. You and I will be responsible for setting up stalls in the town in the morning." stall, the second brother is netting fish at home, and Brother Nan is helping to make spicy strips at home. In the afternoon, we come back from the market, go out and help the second brother net fish for a while, and then come back to make the dried fish and spicy strips we will buy the next day. "
Zhang Ying’s eyes were bright, and the more she listened, the more feasible she became.
"We'll do it like this at the beginning. When the business gets better later and we don't have enough supply, we can ask Er Aunt, Xiao Bei, Xiao Lin, and Xiao Yu to help. Since we're doing business, we can't let their help go in vain. We'll take care of it for them. Salary, it’s summer vacation right now, Xiaobei and the others have nothing to do at home, why not come here to earn some pocket money.”
After Ning Xi finished speaking, Wang Xiuqin thought for a while and said, "You two really want to do business, so Auntie 2 will help you for free."
