Chapter 6 Persuading Luo Mu to Plant Rice

Liu Wangcai also agreed, and Chen Xiaomei said: "Well, pick a few trustworthy people to learn cooking from me!"

After saying that, he went out.

Liu Chen looked at Chen Xiaomei's back and sighed: I didn't expect that a woman could know so much? This little woman is not only beautiful, but also quite interesting! She couldn't help but take a few more glances.

When the cooks heard that they were going to learn how to cook new dishes, they were all very excited. After all, there was none in Qingshi Town! Once you learn it, it becomes your own skill. In the end, Liu Wangcai picked 6 trustworthy people and divided them into groups of two.

, learn new dishes from Chen Xiaomei.

After teaching the dishes, Chen Xiaomei and Luo Wenhai walked out of the restaurant.

As soon as he came out of the restaurant, Luo Wenhai excitedly said to Chen Xiaomei: "Sister-in-law, you are so awesome. If mother knows about it, she will be very happy. Then mother will not say anything about you anymore."

Chen Xiaomei said to Luo Wenhai: "Don't tell my mother about this yet, I will tell her when the time comes. This is our secret!"

Luo Wenhai said incomprehensibly: "Why didn't you tell mother? Sister-in-law."

Chen Xiaomei said: "When we make money, we can directly give it to my mother. Wouldn't she be happier that way?"

After hearing this, Luo Wenhai thought it made sense and happily agreed.

Chen Xiaomei said excitedly: "Let's go over there and buy some meat buns from Yu Mian and her mother to take back. They haven't eaten meat for a long time."

I could smell the aroma of steamed buns from afar, and the owner of the steamed bun shop said, "Would you like to buy steamed buns?"

Chen Xiaomei said: "How much does one cost?"

“It costs 2 cents each, and the dough is filled with fillings. It’s so delicious!”

"Then give me five!" Chen Xiaomei said firmly!

After buying the meat buns, I bought some brown rice and black flour and took them home.

When Luo's mother returned home and saw the meat buns bought by Chen Xiaomei, her face turned dark immediately.

He said to Chen Xiaomei: "How much can you sell this honeysuckle for? Just start buying meat buns. You really spend money without blinking an eye. How can our family have so much money? It's hard to sell some money and we won't save it well. When the time comes,

How can I pay back the 30 taels of silver?"

Chen Xiaomei had a dark look on her face. She suppressed the anger in her heart and said, "You don't need to worry about this. Didn't I tell you? I will definitely give you 30 taels back within three days."

Luo Wenhai also said beside him: "Mom, my sister-in-law told me not to let you worry about it, so don't worry about it. Since my sister-in-law has bought it all, she has good intentions, so just eat it quickly!"

When Luo's mother heard what her youngest son said, she said, "Mom, you're not hungry. You and Yu Mian can eat."

Luo Wenhai said: "My sister-in-law and I have already eaten two buns on the road. These are specially reserved for you. You should eat them quickly and don't refuse any more."

Mother Luo couldn't resist, so she picked up the bun and took a bite. Tears immediately flowed down her face.

Luo's mother said: "In the past, when your father was here, we could eat meat buns once a month. Later, after your father passed away, life was not as good as before. Now that your brother is gone, what will happen in the future?"

I’m afraid life will be even more difficult.”

Hearing this, Chen Xiaomei said: "Mom, don't worry, I will not let you have a hard life in the future."

With that said, he went to bed.

Early the next morning, Chen Xiaomei wanted to go to town by herself. Luo's mother thought that her daughter-in-law couldn't be so defensive all the time, so she let her go by herself.

After Chen Xiaomei came to town, she was shocked when she walked to Liu's Restaurant.

At first she thought she had gone to the wrong place. Unexpectedly, the business on this day was so much better than before. The store was full of people, it was really packed!

When Liu Wangcai saw her coming, he quickly ran over with a smile and said, "Oh, Mrs. Luo, your new dish is really popular. My business has never been so good."

Chen Xiaomei smiled and said: "It will definitely be better than this in the future."

Then she went to the kitchen to teach two new dishes.

After the lesson, she ran to Liu Wangcai and said, "Boss Liu, can you advance me 40 taels of silver? I know it's a bit inappropriate to say this, but I really need it urgently. I have no choice but to ask you."

"

After hearing this, Liu Wangcai said: "Okay, I will advance you 40 taels of silver. Maybe you can earn this much with your share of these two days."

Chen Xiaomei said: "Aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?"

Liu Wangcai said: "I believe I will not misjudge the person! Since I cooperate with you, I will believe you."

Chen Xiaomei didn't show any pretense and resigned from Boss Liu after taking the money.

After leaving Liu's Restaurant, she bought some rice seeds in the town.

After returning home in the evening, Luo's mother had already cooked. When the family was eating, Chen Xiaomei took out 35 taels of silver and put it in front of Luo's mother.

Luo Mu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Where did you get this money?"

I stutter a little when I speak!

Then Luo's mother's face sank again and she said, "Did you do something shameful?"

Chen Xiaomei was speechless and said to Luo's mother: "Don't worry, I earned this money myself!"

Luo's mother said: "How can you earn so much?! Then tell me how you earn it? Just by selling honeysuckle?"

Chen Xiaomei said: "How can Honeysuckle earn so much? I have learned a few dishes from others before. That day I went to a restaurant in town and taught the cooks, and the boss bought the recipes."

Luo's mother heard this and said, "Really?"

Before Chen Xiaomei could say anything, Luo Wenhai said, "Yes! Mom, I saw it with my own eyes!"

Luo's mother was very happy after hearing this. Her attitude towards Chen Xiaomei changed and she was no longer as harsh as before.

Seeing Luo's mother happy, Chen Xiaomei said to Luo's mother: "Mom, I heard people say that in the far, far south, people plant two or even three crops of rice a year, which means that they can grow rice twice a year or even three crops a year.

Plant for two seasons, and some can plant for three seasons. In this way, you can harvest at least five days of food a year. And you can also raise fish in the paddy fields, so I also want to give it a try."

Seeing that Luo's mother didn't respond, she continued: "When we made a bet before, we said that I would plant two acres of paddy fields. Now I feel that two acres of paddy fields are too little. How about we see if the villagers want to trade with us. Let's take it.

Is it okay to exchange four acres of dry land for paddy fields?"

When Luo Mu heard this, she immediately got angry and said, "Are you stupid? Who still cultivates paddy fields now? Everyone knows that paddy fields are not profitable, but you are still going to find someone else to replace them. You also said that rice can be grown for two seasons? I

After so many years of farming, why have I never seen rice that can be grown in two seasons? I look at you, don’t mess around, we can just grow brown rice honestly like in previous years.”

Chen Xiaomei said: "Then if you don't let me try, how do you know it won't work?"

Luo Wenhai also said to Luo's mother: "Yes, mother, please let your sister-in-law try it. My sister-in-law is very good now, maybe she will succeed!"
