“You silly boy, go to read books already! By the way, where’s Tiewa? Why didn’t I see him?”
Ling Jingxuan threw him a stare helplessly, and then remembered his adoptive son who was supposed to take a noon nap with them and be here now.
“He hasn’t woken up yet. Dashan said he was too excited and went to bed late last night. So brother Yan asked us not to wake him up.”
It was Ling Wen who replied. Ling Jingxuan nodded, “Well, then let him sleep longer, remember to send him some food later.”
“Daddy, don’t worry, I know.”
Tiewa was not an outsider, Ling Wen had always taken him as his own younger brother, and cared about him.
“Let’s go.”
While they were talking, Chu Ci and his son also finished theirs. They got up and bent over at the old man, and then gave Ling Jingxuan a nod and turned to leave with the two little buns. When Ling Wu left, he still turned back now and then while drooling at others’ bowls, making some sucking sound. One could imagine that funny scene.
“Jingxuan, how to make the sour and spicy rice noodles? It tastes really not bad. Even I want to eat a few more bowls like Xiaowu.”
After Chu Ci and his son left, the atmosphere in the central room instantly got a lot relaxed. Lady Want handed the empty bowl to Sister-in-law Song. Those sour and not only the spicy rice noodles were delicious, but also the soup was good, both sour and spicy, really appetizing.
“Ha ha… The making method is actually very simple. Later I will ask Sister-in-law Song to teach you. Big uncle, what do you think of doing this business?
With a gentle smile, Ling Jingxuan turned to look over at Wang Jinfu. He was sure that if they really set up a stall to sell sour and spicy rice noodles, they’d have a fiery business, at least better than digging food in the field. After he earned enough money, he could rent a shop in winter and open a small hot pot restaurant. Wouldn’t the silver run into his pocket?
“Not bad, but I still need to trouble your maids to teach us how to make it. As for the stewed food, I don’t think it’s necessary, what do you say? You know, pork is expensive.”
Wang Jinfu nodded happily. After tasting it himself, he finally knew why had so much confidence. But he denied the stewed food. And the main stewed food was pork and offal. The cost would be high and it wouldn’t sell well. And on such hot weather, they were easy to go bad.
“Who said that stewed food could only be meat? We can’t make some stewed vegetables, like stewed dried tofu, lotus root, gluten and other things. But meat is necessary. Big uncle, think about it. Those on the wharf are mainly businessmen who do business on ships and the workers. The sour and spicy ride noodles are some appetizing food. One bowl is not enough for sure. But two bowls are too much. But with some stewed food, isn’t it just good? We can make the price of the vegetable food a bit higher and the price of meat a bit lower, and limited supply. If you have the intention, you can sell some alcohol and sugar water or what. The income would be quite considerable.”
If it weren’t for the fact that he already had a jam business, he would really like to open a shop in the town by himself. As long as he got good word of mouth, there would be numerous regular customers, and maybe he would have a chance to compete with Xinyuan restaurant in the future.
“What you said is reasonable, but Jingxuan, if so, I still have to beg you for the recipe of making stewed food. The stewed food you made today is a lot better than that we made. If we decide to do the business, our food should have our own unique taste. I think your recipe is not bad.”
That was his nephew. Why feel embarrassed to ask for a favor? Since Wang Jinfu could think of doing business in town, he should have a smart brain.
“Hehe…Big uncle, what are you talking about? Since I brought it up, I never planned to hide anything from you. Later I will ask Sister-in-law Song to make a small pack of the seasonings. You just need to do as how you stew meat usually. Remember. The used stewed soup should be boiled and then store it in the basement, better dig a huge pit in the basement and put the iron pant storing the stewed soup in it. As for the sour and spicy rice noodles, big aunt-in-law, you go to the kitchen with Sister-in-law Song. She will teach you. It’s simple and easy to learn. You can take the guard ladle strainer used to make the rice noodles home to use temporarily. Some other day, I will ask Brother Zhao to make a bigger one for you.”
“Hmm. Sorry to bother you them, Jingxuan.”
Seeing that he was so thoughtful, Lady Mu smiled and became more contented with this big nephew, while others’ eyes burned even hotter. The Wang family hadn’t divided up the family. So one should say that’s their whole family’s business rather than say that’s the big son’s business. If the big son could earn money, it means that they could also have a share. How could they not feel overjoyed?
“We are family, so don’t say those polite words. Second uncle, third uncle, and little uncle, and aunts-in-law, you are all my mother’s brothers and sisters, my closest relatives. Just let me know if you need anything. I will definitely help you as long as it’s within my ability.”
Ling Jingxuan turned his eyes around them. Actually he could directly give them money, but money would be used up sooner or later. As the saying goes, help someone in emergency but never someone poor. Rather than help them for some time, why not teach them some money-making method? As for whether they could really earn money, it depended on whether they’d like to endure the hardships. If you don’t work hard, you could never earn money.
“Hmm.”
A few elders nodded spontaneously. The old couple who were sitting at the main east saw the whole family was in such harmony, they also felt satisfied. People at their age, what would they expect? Just a harmonious family!
They started dinner quite early. So the Wangs only left after eating some food. Ling Jingxuan also asked the maids to prepare a lot of food for them. And Lady Wang also gave some copper coins to each kid. Even Wang Yunya who claimed to stay to take care of the old couple had her share. For this, Ling Jingxuan and his two younger brothers all had no objections. It was reasonable that the elders gave the juniors money. And they didn’t care about that little money, as long as their mother was happy.
“Grandpa, grandma, go to bed early, I’ll take the kids to sleep now.”
The sky went dark, Yan Shengrui and Ling Jingxuan, holding a kid each, said goodbye to Wang Ping’an and his wife and went back to their own room. And the old couple also left under the support of their two daughters. When Wang Yunya left, she still kept peeping at Ling Jinghan who were chatting with his two cousins, with undisguised admiration and affections in the eyes.
“Second brother, why the way Yunya looks at you so weird?”
After they all went back to their own rooms, Ling Jingpeng asked, frowning. He thought it wasn’t a thing when their mom allowed Yunya to stay. But the whole afternoon, she always peeped at his second brother, so he felt something strange.
“Hmm, I also noticed it. Second cousin, is it possible sister Yunya has feelings for you?”
Zhang Yang, who was a few years younger than them, nodded while teasing him. Zhang Qing immediately slapped him in the face and said, “What do you know? Don’t take nonsense! If people hear it, brother Jinghan and sister Yunya’s reputation will be totally ruined!”
After all Zhang Qing was a little bit bigger, so he thought things more.
After he said so, Zhang Yang no longer said anything, only mischievously stuck out his tongue while apologetically looking at Ling Jinghan, “Sorry, second cousin, I was just kidding. Don’t take it to your heart.”
“It’s fine. It’s just…”
Someone is really plotting against him!
But Ling Jinghan didn’t say it out, but only looked over at the room with candlelight darkly. Although he had never gone through a relationship, he could see how his big brother and brother Rui showed their affections to each other, and the way they looked at each other, he was so familiar. So his second aunt-in-law let Yunya stay, plus, she was still unmarried, isn’t it obvious what she was up to?
