Under the adoring eyes of his daughter-in-law, the house town said in a fluttering manner: "I arrived last night. Because it was too late, I rested in the town. I went to the pier early this morning, and was aroused by the smell of your family's braised vegetables. After hearing the report, I hurried back. During the few days I went to the capital, I missed my daughter's cooking!"
Yu Xiaocao pretended to have a sad face, sighed, and said, "Godfather, I don't know that you came back early, and the ingredients are not prepared enough, what should I do?"
Fang Fangzhen couldn't see how unhappy his daughter was, so he hurriedly comforted him: "Daughter, whatever godfather you like to eat! Like lettuce in oyster sauce, braised eggplant in oil, scrambled eggs with tomato... you can do whatever you want. If you pick a few vegetables from the rice, my daughter can cook the supreme delicacy."
Yu Hai looked at the two of them looking like a loving father and daughter, and felt sore in his heart, as if his most beloved treasure had been snatched away. In fact, it is not bad for the daughter to recognize her brother-in-law as her godfather. One more person who loves her and defends her like this. Sigh... My own daughter followed him and hardly enjoyed a day of happiness. He is so useless, he can't even protect his daughter!
Xiaocao seemed to feel her own father's depressed mood, turned around and gave him a bright smile, and said, "Father, why are you back so late today? Could it be that the stewed vegetables are not selling well?"
Yu Hai hurriedly collected his emotions, smiled at his daughter, and said, "The stewed vegetables were sold out very early. Didn't you meet Brother Fang on the pier? Thinking that there was no good food at home, I went to the market to buy a few." A catty of pork belly, and your favorite ribs."
At this time, when people buy meat, they will buy meat with a lot of fat. The ribs are all bones and not much meat, if Yu Xiaocao didn't like it, Yu Hai wouldn't buy it. Fortunately, the price of pork ribs is not high, and one catty of meat can buy more than two catties!
"There are pork ribs! That's great, I'll have sea sausage pork rib soup for lunch today! The soup is so delicious that you will definitely want to eat it again!" Yu Xiaocao pretended to be happy and wanted to help her father out of his depression mood.
Yu Hai's face stretched slightly, and he said softly, "Sea intestines? By the way, how are you digging sea intestines today? How is the result? Xiaocao has never dug sea intestines before, isn't it difficult?"
Xiao Lian smiled from the side and said, "Father, you underestimate my little sister. She digs more than me. We are the ones who dig the most in the village, and we sold it for more than two taels of silver! It's better than you at the pier." Busy all morning, earning more!"
Yu Hai looked at the pair of young daughters approvingly, and said with a smile: "My daughter is really capable!"
"That's it! It doesn't matter who the girl is!!" Yu Xiaocao raised her small head, her nostrils upturned, and she looked arrogant.
Fang Fangzhen laughed loudly, and said: "Yes, yes! You are indeed my daughter of Fang Fangzhen! Follow me!"
Yu Xiaocao deliberately pretended to be disgusted, looked at his bearded face, wrinkled his face, and said, "Godfather, why don't I think you are praising me? Whatever you say, I will Can you still watch it?" As he spoke, he touched his own face, full of worry.
Her funny demeanor and funny words amused everyone. Fang Fangzhen laughed the loudest, and said unconvinced: "Girl! Do you know why your godfather and I have to grow a beard? I think your godfather was also handsome and talented when he was young. He was called 'Jade Face' on the battlefield." Young General'. I think this nickname is too feminine, and my face is not intimidating, so I grew a full beard. Once your godfather shaves off this beard, he will definitely not be inferior to your Uncle Zhao!"
"I don't believe it! Empty words are nothing, just shave off your beard to see the truth!" Yu Xiaocao's distrustful expression of "you're bragging" shocked the house so much that he almost shaved off his beard on the spot!
Talking and laughing, they returned to Yu's old house. Yu Hang, who had just finished watering the melon fields, put down the pole in his hand, and turned around when he heard laughter. With a gentle smile on his face, he said, "Uncle Fang is back! Sit down and drink a glass of water."
Xiaocao carried the basket containing the sandworms to the well in the backyard, ready to clean it up for lunch. Mrs. Liu, who was washing clothes by the well, saw a basket of fat and fleshy bugs, and her hairs almost stood on end. She whispered reproachfully: "What are you digging up these bugs for? They look scary!"
Grass flicked the wriggling sandworms in the basket like a baby, and said with a little excitement: "Mother, these sandworms look uncomfortable, but they taste very good. Besides cooking, they can also be made into dried sandworms." , Grinding it into powder will make the dishes more delicious! I'll find some bamboo sticks, and I'll teach you how to clean the sandworms!"
Yu Xiaocao ran back to the front yard and asked her father to help him cut a few bamboo sticks that were half as thin as chopsticks, pulled Xiaolian up and ran to the back yard. Yu Hai shouted behind her: "Would you like me to help!"
"No! You can sit and drink tea with godfather!" Yu Xiaocao's crisp voice came from the backyard.
Liu Shi looked at the fleshy sandworms, resisted the discomfort in her heart, picked up one, and asked, "How do I get rid of this thing? Just wash it in water?"
"No! Sandworms have gizzards and sand in their stomachs. If you don't clean them, you can't eat them. I have the most convenient way to clean sandworms. You see, first put the sandworms into the water and use a bamboo stick to clean them. Poke in from one end, poke out from half of the place, and slowly turn the half of the sandworm over. Then poke in from the other end, poke into the same cut, and turn over the other half. Look, there is sand inside. Internal organs, etc., just wash them in water!" Yu Xiaocao demonstrated while explaining. Her little hands fluttered deftly, and quickly cleaned a sandworm.
When Xiaolian was demonstrating, she had already picked up one in her hand, imitating her appearance. Although the movement was a bit clumsy, he still completed the task of digging out the internal organs of the sandworm, and cleaned them carefully with water.
Mrs. Liu is not a hypocritical person, she quickly overcame the obstacles in her heart, and turned the sandworm quite smoothly. The three mothers are quick-witted people, and quickly finished cleaning the three catties of sandworms. Yu Xiaocao was afraid that the sand inside would not be cleaned, so she rinsed it several times with clean water.
When she appeared in the front yard again, she found that there was another person in the yard. Taking a closer look, it turned out that it was Zhou Zixu, Young Master Zhou who hadn't seen him for a long time. For more than a month, he has been soaking in the dock construction site, and he is tanned. However, his hard work and efforts were not in vain, and the building of the oyster sauce workshop was finally completed. After a simple renovation, it should be ready for use next month.
"Third Young Master, what a rare visitor! What brought you here today?" Yu Xiaocao joked with him.
Fang Fangzhen looked up and down for Young Master Wednesday like he was guarding against thieves. What does this little boy have to do with his daughter. The girl's attitude when talking to him is so familiar
Shao Shao laughed on Wednesday and said, "Authentic northwest wind! I rushed back from the pier, and our workshop will be up and running soon. I must share this good news with you as soon as possible. What is delicious today? Yes, I stepped on it!"
brat! Talking so casually to my daughter, wouldn't it mean that she has something wrong with her? no! Such a good girl, he has to watch closely!
General Fang, you think too much. Xiaocao is only ten years old, what kind of evil thoughts can a little Douding make people think? Not a pedophile!
Fang Fangzhen put up the official score, coughed twice, and said: "You are the third young master of the Zhou family who built a factory at the dock? Did you get approval to build a house at the dock? Now the dock is being rebuilt, everything must follow the plan..."
Zhou Zhou was able to achieve his current achievements in the mall at a young age, so he naturally has his own connections. Knowing that this person in front of him is in charge of port construction, he hurriedly bowed to greet him again, and said, "The location of the boy's workshop is within a distance of There is still a certain distance from the pier, which does not conflict with the pier reconstruction.”
"Oh? How do you know that your factory will not affect the planning of the new port?" Fang Fangzhen looked at the young boy who looked like a chicken, and decided to make things difficult for him.
Young Master Zhou wondered, when did he offend the imperial envoy? He seemed to be picking on him on purpose. He still said respectfully on his face: "Before the boy plans to build the workshop, he has confirmed with the county magistrate again and again, so..."
Fang Zizhen frowned, and said, "Your workshop should have started construction a few months ago, right? At that time, the detailed rules for the port reconstruction hadn't been issued yet. Who gave you the confidence that your workshop would not affect the construction of the port?"
When Young Master Wednesday was sweating from being questioned by the imperial envoy, Yu Xiaocao in the kitchen heard a few words and poked her head out to ask, "Godfather, our workshop hinders the planning of the port? What should we do then? It was finally built, so do we have to wait several months to rebuild the factory?"
Our workshop? What's the meaning? Daughter, this is the rhythm of elbows turning outward! No, we must kill the bud in the cradle!
Fang Fangzhen came over and whispered to Yu Xiaocao: "Girl, what does it matter to us if someone runs a workshop? Don't worry about it!"
"How can it be none of my business? I have 20% of the shares in the oyster sauce workshop! One day later when it starts production, I will get the dividend one day later! Godfather, you should think of a way!" During this time, Yu Xiaocao really There is no shortage of money. The sweet-scented osmanthus duck at Zhenxiulou sells well, and she gets at least a thousand taels of share every month. But, who thinks too much money bites the hand? Of course, the more money the better!
Fang Fangzhen glared angrily: "What a boy, he gave his daughter a 20% dividend for no reason. If he said there was no conspiracy, no ghost would believe it!" If he wanted to use a mere 20% bonus, he would cheat his precious girl away, there was no way! Not only doors, but also windows are impossible! !
Fang Fangzhen glared at Young Master Wednesday, bent down and said earnestly: "Girl, we can't take the shares that some inexplicable people give away for free! If you are short of money, godfather will have it here! When the port is built , Godfather is in the best location and will buy you a few shops. If you want to open a shop yourself, or rent it out to collect rent, it’s up to you. Let’s not take the shares, shall we?”
