After talking for a while, everyone went back to the house.
After taking a bath and lying on the bed, Luo Jianjia said, "If I start making porridge tomorrow, my husband will have to find another ten people for me, and a shop has to have two people who cook and serve porridge."
Chu Wei gave her a cold look and said nothing.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Luo Jianjia asked, "Huh? Can't find it?"
She has asked Chu Weilen to find nearly a hundred people for her, and she is afraid that there is no suitable person.
"No. I think the lady is really kind." Chu Wei Leng said what was in his heart.
Luo Jianjia knew that she was just an ordinary person, with no lofty and great ideals, and no ability to achieve what kind of ambitions. All I want is to eat and drink enough every day and live in peace. If you say what your current pursuit is, it is to make more money and provide yourself with more protection in the age of strict hierarchy.
The truly kind and ambitious person is Chu Weilen.
"You are overrated." Luo Jianjia said.
Chu Wei Leng felt that his wife was fine in everything, but sometimes she was too modest and didn't like to take credit for herself.
Giving porridge is one thing, but it also solves a major event in his mind.
"I used to worry about how the soldiers who retired from the battlefield would survive, and how would the elderly who lost their sons survive. I often helped them, but this method could not fundamentally solve their problems. Now the lady is solving a lot of problems for her husband. With a job that makes money, their life will be better."
Not to mention the manpower to cook the porridge this time, dozens of people were used for the greenhouse vegetables alone. As a result, a hundred or ten people had to find work, and there were not many people left.
Hearing this, Luo Jianjia pondered in his heart and said, "Well, if more and more shops are opened in the future, there will be more opportunities."
"Thank you madam." Chu Wei said sincerely.
Looking at Chu Weilen's eager eyes, Luo Jianjia felt a little uncomfortable.
She was just an ordinary person, and she didn't do anything major. Even cooking porridge and arranging staff didn't cost much money.
She couldn't compare with Chu Wei's coldness in what she did, so she felt ashamed.
"Your Excellency is being polite. It's getting late, rest." Luo Jianjia timely changed the subject.
"it is good."
In the early morning of the second day, after Chu Wei Leng found someone, Luo Jianjia set out to arrange the porridge.
After the arrangement is made, the rest will be left to Zhao.
Zhao Shi still had some distressed money for porridge, but when he returned home in the evening, he had a smile on his face.
She met a lot of people this day, listened to a lot of compliments, and helped a lot of people. She felt more and more that this thing was worthwhile and meaningful.
After serving porridge at the back door of the shop for a few days, Xu Shi's reputation has improved, but there are more customers in front than before, which is an unexpected gain that everyone did not expect.
Afterwards, the shop in the south of Mala Chuancheng also opened.
Although the two shops are not next to each other like the one in the north of the city, they are not too far apart, they are separated by a street.
As soon as the shop opened, the customer flow was dispersed, and there were finally fewer customers in the shop in the north of the city.
As the weather turns cold, the sales of vegetables in the spicy skewer shop are much higher than before.
At the end of the month, when the accounts were calculated, the monthly income actually reached 700 taels, which was more than Zhao's estimate last month.
"It's just so good to have just opened two stores. In a few months, we won't be able to make more than a thousand taels a month?" Zhao Shi said.
Hearing this number, everyone had a smile on their faces, and they looked forward to the future a little more.
Tomorrow will be the twelfth lunar month. Since it snowed a few months ago, it has not melted until now.
The snow fell one after another, and it got thicker and thicker.
After returning to the house, Chu Wei Leng immediately took off his outer padded coat and sat on the kang wearing two layers of underwear.
The inner layer of underwear is thin, and the outer layer is slightly thick, but it is by no means particularly thick.
This thickness is what Luo Jianjia wears in spring and autumn.
Even so, he still felt hot, and took off the outer layer of underwear.
Although there is a kang and a flue on the wall, it is not so hot.
It can't compare with the heating of later generations.
She wanted to install a radiator in the house, but it was really troublesome to do, and she didn't know if it could be done.
She prefers to install floor heating, she remembers, this technology has already existed in ancient times.
However, if they were to install it now, they would have to move to another house, and it would be very troublesome to start construction.
And it's not too cold now.
So she thought that if she felt cold in the future, she would do it after winter.
If she was indoors now, Luo Jianjia would still wear a thin coat.
Sometimes she envied Chu Wei's coldness. He was so hot in winter that he didn't even need heating.
"Are you hot?" Luo Jianjia asked.
"It's okay." Chu Wei said coldly, taking a sip of herbal tea.
"Then are you taking a cold shower today?" Luo Jianjia asked again.
Chu Wei's hand holding the tea paused slightly, raised his head and glanced at Luo Jianjia, then lowered his head to look at the herbal tea in front of him, coughed lightly, and said, "Cough, not necessarily."
Luo Jianjia didn't think much about it. He drank herbal tea and took cold showers in the winter.
But she felt cold, and she didn't want to talk about shutting down the flue on the wall or not burning the kang.
Looking at the thick snow outside, she suddenly thought of a food.
I don't know if it can be made, but in two days, I can buy the ingredients and try it.
The two sat for a while and then went to rest.
On the second day, the sky was gloomy, and in the second half of the day, snowflakes began to float in the sky.
Due to the cold weather, I prepared to eat hot pot in the evening.
Although there are fewer people eating here at the border, it does not mean that there are none.
A few days ago, Luo Jianjia went to the shop to order a mandarin duck pot, and the master was also knowledgeable and knew this kind of thing. Luo Jianjia also proposed some areas for improvement, and the master made one after a while.
After it was done, Luo Jianjia had not used it yet, but I just used it today.
The vegetables at home have almost grown up, and there are more varieties that can be eaten.
They prepared Chinese cabbage, spinach, small rapeseed, lettuce, etc., and cut white radish, potatoes, and winter melon into slices, and also prepared a lot of mushrooms.
In Zhenbei City, vegetables are rare in winter, but meat is abundant.
Luo Jianjia prepared a lot of chicken, pork and mutton, and also sliced some fish.
And made a lot of meatballs with meat, chicken meatballs, pork meatballs, fish meatballs and so on.
In addition, I went to the shop to get some fried foods, such as meatballs, crispy pork, and lotus root clips.
The base material is from the spicy skewer shop, as is the bottom of the pot.
For clear soup, prepare well. For red oil pan, Luo Jianjia added some more peppers according to Chu Weilen's taste.
Zhao Shi was very relieved to know that her daughter-in-law was specially prepared for her son.
The family is prosperous, and the son and daughter-in-law are no longer in trouble. A good life is better than anything else.
Now that my son is getting ahead, the family business is booming, and everything is going in the best direction.
However, the Zhao family is not without worries.
If there is anything bad, it is that the daughter-in-law's stomach has been quiet.
In a family as big as a son and a daughter-in-law, if they were earlier, their children would all go to school, and if they were later, they would be able to run off to the ground.
Also don't know where the problem is.
It's not good for her to ask her daughter-in-law directly, for fear that she will be unhappy.
It's just that she has been holding back this matter for a long time in her heart, and it is uncomfortable not to say it.
After thinking about it for a long time, Mr. Zhao asked tentatively, "Jianjia, do you like children?"
Suddenly being asked such a sentence, Luo Jianjia glanced at Zhao Shi and said, "I like it."
She really likes children, she is soft and waxy, very cute, and often says things that adults don't expect.
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Shi couldn't help but blurt out a sentence: "Then when do you and Brother Leng plan to have a child?"
Hearing Zhao's straightforward words, Luo Jianjia was a little stunned.
When will I have a child with Chu Weilen...
this…
She hadn't thought about it.
Although she didn't hate children, she never thought about having a child right now.
However, if there is really a soft and white fat child, it would be very good.
It's just that having a child is not like doing business, it's not something she can give birth to alone, she needs Chu Weilen's help.
But what Chu Wei Leng wants to help is...
Thinking of this, Luo Jianjia, who has always been calm, suddenly became restless, and her face turned red all of a sudden.
Looking at Zhao's expectant eyes, Luo Jianjia suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
Since this matter could not be done by her alone, she unkindly pushed the matter to another party.
Luo Jianjia whispered, "It depends on the husband."
After saying that, he lowered his head and turned to leave the kitchen.
Seeing her daughter-in-law's behavior, Mrs. Zhao immediately understood that it was her son's problem!
The daughter-in-law is so kind to her son and reacts like this, she must be willing.
Since the daughter-in-law is willing, it must be the son who is not willing.
When her son comes back at night, she has to talk about him well!
Ask him what is going on in his mind, why doesn't he know how to cherish such a good daughter-in-law.
Chu Wei Leng, who was far away in the military camp, sneezed suddenly.
"Ah!"
Seeing this, Wang Qingjue, who was standing beside him, winked at him: "Brother Chu, did you take a cold shower again last night?"
Seeing Wang Qingjue's meanness, Chu Wei Leng regretted telling him about it.
Before, he took cold showers almost every day, and he was worried that doing so would not be good for some aspects.
But this matter was too private, he was embarrassed to ask the military doctor, and he was afraid that the military doctor would publicize it to him.
After thinking about it, I asked the experienced young master of the Hou Mansion from the capital.
He didn't expect Wang Qingjue to be so sharp, and he guessed the whole story in just three or two sentences.
Since then, he has been teasing him about it every once in a while.
"In the winter, it's not good for your health. Brother Chu, you are a man. Be brave!" Wang Qingjue patted Chu Weilen's shoulder and said.
Chu Wei's cold face was a little darker than the naked eye.
This is not something that can be done by being brave or not.
