The Shit Carrier Village Girl

Chapter 176 Plans to Open a Kiosk

When Jiang Zhennan and the others returned home with hoes and shovels, they saw Lin Yuelan and Zhou Wencai chatting and laughing at the stone table in the courtyard.

They selectively ignored Liu Jiaying. Doctor Zhang continued to concern himself with the medicinal plants in the courtyard.

Jiang Zhennan felt that Zhou Wencai was ruining the scene the moment he saw it.

‘Why is this man's skin so white? And where are his fox-like eyes? Why is he laughing so hard?’ In short, this was the first time Jiang Zhennan had felt annoyed at someone during their first meeting.

As soon as he entered, he walked to a familiar corner and placed the hoe and helicopter in his hand. Then, he walked up to Lin Yuelan and asked loudly, “Nona Yue ‘Er, is everything done?” He was talking about buying land. He did this to hint to the man that he was close to Lin Yuelan.

Lin Yuelan nodded and replied, “Yes, it's done!” As he spoke, Lin Yuelan picked up the teacup on the table, poured a cup of tea for Jiang Zhennan, and handed it to him.

Jiang Zhennan took it and drank it like a buffalo.

Zhou Wencai looked at the four to five men who entered one after another. He frowned a little. He had doubts in his heart. It was somewhat out of place for the five men to live with a young woman. Besides, they were all big and stocky. They also have the presence of a murderer. Could they be bandits?

Zhou Wencai studied the man whose tea Lin Yuelan poured. When he saw the mask, his pupils constricted, and his heart pounded.

‘This man..’.

He was tall and burly, wearing a silver mask. The ferocious and aggressive aura in his body was something that ordinary people did not have. Even assassins would not have such a powerful aura.

‘Could it really be him? But he should be far away in the capital. Why was he confined to the mountains, doing farm work with a hoe and a shovel? Shouldn't he be on the battlefield, defending the country?’

Although Zhou Wencai's father was only a small county Judge, the Zhou family was a large family with strong roots. They have a place in the capital.

Although Zhou Wencai was a descendant of the Zhou Family side branch, the main family would hold a family meeting every year. Sons and daughters of the main family and branches must be present.

This was to cultivate the sons and daughters of the Zhou Family. Girls will be married off, and boys will be built as future leaders. The useless will be removed from the family.

Zhou Wencai was the one chosen. Therefore, he was aware of some of the information gathered by the Zhou Family in Beijing.

A few months ago, he heard that the man had returned to the general's residence from the border. So how could someone so similar suddenly appear in Lin Yuelan's courtyard? Was the news he received fake, or was there indeed a doppelganger in this world?

Zhou Wencai wanted to find out the truth, but he felt a little confused and uneasy in his heart. His intuition told him that it was best not to have such curiosity.

Zhou Wencai suppressed the confusion and uneasiness in his heart. He picked up a cup of tea on the table and brought it to his mouth. However, his slightly pale fingertips denied his nervousness.

Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan caught this clearly.

Jiang Zhennan's eyes under the mask shone with a sharp light, and then he continued to drink.

Lin Yuelan also held onto the teacup. He lowered his eyes and gently blew on the tea, causing small ripples to appear on the teacup. Then, he took a little sip.

The atmosphere between the three of them was a bit strange. Nothing seems to be happening, but in reality, they each have their own thoughts.

Doctor Zhang is an expert at tinkering with herbs. His pair of thoughtful and astute eyes quietly glanced at Zhou Wencai, who looked externally calm but internally confused.

The most confused and helpless person was Liu Jiaying. Earlier, Doctor Zhang told him that there were some men living there.

However, when the burly man with the bare chest and the towel around their neck came up with a hoe and shovel, he was shocked.

There are two reasons for his surprise. One of them was that they looked ferocious and terrifying, and Liu Jiaying was a well-protected child. He knew nothing about the world and could not adapt to the sudden appearance of outsiders.

Second, a man and a woman will sit at different tables after they are seven years old. Many young women from large families did not even come out of their doors after seven o'clock. They should even avoid meeting men in their own families as much as possible.

Although Liu Jiaying did not confine herself in the house, she would be accompanied by her brother or servant every time she left. Because of this, he rarely came into contact with other men.

Now that he had suddenly seen so many tall and strong men in his friend's house, he was a little overwhelmed.

Liu Jiaying nervously grabbed Lin Yuelan's hand and whispered to her, “Yuelan, who are they? They look very fierce.” At Lin Yuelan's request, Liu Jiaying changed the way she summoned Lin Yuelan from sister Yuelan to Yuelan.

To be honest, he wanted to ask Lin Yuelan if it was appropriate for them to stay with him. However, he did not know how because this was Lin Yuelan's personal matter.

Lin Yuelan said to Liu Jiaying indifferently, “they are only my friends.” He did not introduce them because there was no need. They were there as friends.

Zhou Wencai secretly sighed in relief when he heard Lin Yuelan. ‘No matter what, this person is here as Miss Lin's friend. I shouldn't ask about things I shouldn't ask.’

Therefore, he treated everything as usual. That is what a wise man would do!

Lin Yuelan glanced at Zhou Wencai from the corner of her eyes. Seeing that he seemed to be sighing in relief, the corners of his lips curved up. He was satisfied with Zhou Wencai's ability to adapt to the situation.

However, when he saw Jiang Zhennan's masked face, he frowned again. He had to make her take off the mask or everyone who came to her house in the future would suspect her true identity. Then, news of his whereabouts might reach the ears of that person. But to do that, he had to remove the scar on his face first.

Jiang Zhennan suddenly felt a chill on his back. He wondered who had the design on him.

Liu Jiaying listened to Lin Yuelan's introduction, and the corner of her mouth twitched.

“Hmm. What's that smell?” Liu Jiaying did not know what to say, so she changed the subject. He turned towards the scent …

“Brother Guo, you are too bad.” Little Six picked up a pair of chopsticks and went to Guo Bing, who was holding a bowl, trying to snatch the dumplings in the bowl. “Not many dumplings left last night. You're the one who took the rest for yourself.”

Guo Bing turned his body to the side, and Little Six missed. However, Guo Bing managed to guard one but not the other. Before he could relax, Little Three took Guo Bing's dumpling and put it in her mouth.

Zhou Wencai and Liu Jiaying were stunned as they watched this group of people scramble for food.

Liu Jiaying looked at the crystal-clear dumplings and swallowed her saliva. He asked excitedly, “Yuelan, what are they eating? It looks good.” The skin of the dumplings was thin, and when the dumplings were boiled, the skin became transparent, like crystal.

Lin Yuelan looked at the large bowl in Guo Bing's hand and raised her eyebrows. “That's dumpling!”

“What is dumpling?” Zhou Wencai asked excitedly and excitedly as he stared at the dumplings in the bowl while smelling the scent emanating from the dish. “Can I sample?”

Those dumplings look really delicious.

Lin Yuelan looked at Liu Jiaying, who was staring at the bowl in Guo Bing's hand and was almost drooling. Lin Yuelan gently touched her forehead and said, “They ate the leftovers yesterday. If you want, I can make it for you during the day.”

Since he had so many guests, Lin Yuelan had to make more cakes. Liu Jiaying's eyes immediately lit up, and she exclaimed, “Is that true? Yuelan, that's good. ”

Lin Yuelan looked at Liu Jiaying's excited expression and could not resist. He nodded and said, “ya.”

Lin Yuelan saw that it was late, so she got up and went to prepare.

Liu Jiaying followed behind him, and she asked, “Saudari Yuelan, what dumplings are made of? Do we need to make preparations? ”

Lin Yuelan was very patient with Liu Jiaying. He said, “You don't need to prepare anything. You can only follow me. Twelve small, prepare wild vegetables! ” Last sentence addressed to twelve small.

“Good!” The twelve small ones responded immediately. He put down the chopsticks and bowed out of the food fight. After all, Miss Lin will make more cakes. He did not have to fight for the rest of the food.

Liu Jiaying watched as Lin Yuelan poured flour and mixed it with water. He asked curiously, “Saudari Yuelan, what are you doing?”

“I'm making her dough,” Lin Yuelan explained, “To make dumplings, we have to roll up her skin and add the fillings.”

Liu Jiaying was interested. He asked, “Can I try?”

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, “No. Your strength is too small, and the skin will become uneven.”

Liu Jiaying looked a little disappointed, but when she heard Lin Yuelan's next sentence, she immediately rejoiced.

Lin Yuelan said, “but you can learn how to fill the dumplings later.”

After Lin Yuelan finished pouring the correct water and flour, she shouted, “Kakak Tiga, you will make the dough!” He added, “Little Guo and Little Six, you will roll up his skin!”

Work is completed faster, with many people contributing. Then, people are assigned to roll the dough, make stuffing, and so on.

“Miss Lin, how much meat do you want to use this time?” Twelve small asked.

“Two catties of fatty meat and one catties of lean meat!”

“Good!” After he replied, he walked towards the basement excitedly and came out with three catties of meat. After washing it, he cut it into pieces and stirred it with wild vegetables in the basin.

Jiang Zhennan sat there in a daze, while Zhou Wencai was dumbfounded.

He believed that a man should stay away from the kitchen. But now, a group of men were squeezed into this small room for cooking.

‘Shoppers! Can weeds be eaten?’

After Doctor Zhang finished preparing the potion, he sat down at the stone table and sipped his tea. Then, he said to Zhou Wencai with a smile, “Young master Zhou, Lan ‘Er is an impatient person. Please don't take it personally. Oh, right, I'll give you some advice. When food is served, it is better that you fill your bowl quickly! ”

‘I don't even know what dumpling is!’ Zhou Wencai was confused.

“Wow, Yuelan, these things look like Yunbao. They are so beautiful!” From the moment Lin Yuelan made the first dumpling, Liu Jiaying exclaimed nonstop. Then, he wanted to make his own dumplings, but it seemed to be out of shape. The dumpling is open or squeezed into a ball. Liu Jiaying grumbled with a slight annoyance, “why can't I do it?”

However, he was not a person who gave up easily. As the failed dumplings piled up, he became even more determined.

Zhou Wencai watched from the outside as Lin Yuelan's nimble fingers turned her stuffing and skin into a white and fat Yunbao. He's very curious. However, he still believed that a scholar should not enter the kitchen.

Therefore, he hesitated. He's just too curious.

Jiang Zhennan looked at the time. Then, he put down the teacup and walked towards the kitchen. He rolled up his sleeves, bent down, and lit a fire.

He first added water to the pot, then closed the lid and skillfully added firewood to the stove.

Zhou Wencai was stunned!

He became increasingly suspicious in his heart. ‘Is this really that guy? That person is of high status and very noble. He will not bend in the small kitchen to light a fire.’

This time, they used less time than the previous day to complete the manufacturing of the dumplings.

In no time, the first pot of dumplings was ready.

Doctor Zhang unceremoniously picked up his own bowl, filled it, and started eating.

The dumplings taste just as delicious as yesterday. Zhou Wencai was dazed. ‘Can this be eaten?’

After smelling the alluring scent, Zhou Wencai swallowed his saliva and was eager to eat it. But why didn't anyone offer him a bowl? Is he supposed to find a bowl for himself or eat with his hands?

Zhou Wencai refused to do both.

He was a young master born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Wherever he went, there would be people who would serve him. But now, he had to serve himself. It was very awkward for him.

However, he could not just watch others eat.

Therefore, Zhou Wencai turned his gaze around, hoping that someone would notice his predicament.

It's a pity that the dumplings just came out of the pot. Who will pay attention to the young master?

Liu Jiaying had to eat because Lin Yuelan scooped him a bowl of dumplings and even gave him a small plate of vinegar. “Ying ‘Er, try this. Dumplings are better with vinegar!” Lin Yuelan said.

Liu Jiaying tried it and immediately shouted, “Yuelan, these dumplings are so delicious! I have never eaten such a delicious meal in my life!”

These words sound a little exaggerated. However, Lin Yuelan knew that she was telling the truth.

Recently he learned that the cooking standards in this world are so low that they do not even know how to cook ordinary fish. They do not know how to use spices other than oil and salt. No wonder every time he cooked something, these people would be shocked.

Lin Yuelan stuffed a few more into her bowl and said with a smile, “If you like it, you should eat more!”

He was somewhat speechless as he looked at the young master, who was obviously hungry but was waiting for someone to serve him. He had no idea what Zhou Wencai was thinking. Even at a time like this, he was still waiting for people to notice him.

Seeing that everyone had a bowl of dumplings in their hands and he still had nothing, Zhou Wencai ignored his booking. He stood up and headed straight for the kitchen. Then, he found the bowl and chopsticks and clumsily picked up the dumplings in the pot.

He was unfamiliar with his equipment, and he ended up getting a bowl for himself. However, the bowl was immediately snatched away by Guo Bing. Guo Bing thanked him with a smile, “Thank you Young Master Zhou for serving us!”

Zhou Wencai was annoyed, but he was too polite to say anything. He took another empty bowl and filled it.

This time, he was more careful. When he saw someone coming, he immediately guarded his bowl and looked at the newcomer vigilantly.

Little Three was confused. “Do not worry. I won't snatch your food.” Then, Little Three filled her empty bowl. After Little Three left, Zhou Wencai sighed in relief. He noticed that there were not many dumplings left in the pot. He sped up and filled his bowl to the brim. He finally understood why Doctor Zhang had advised him to fill his bowl first. These people are like bandits when it comes to food.

Zhou Wencai could not wait to taste his dumplings. The dumpling exploded with juice. It's very fragrant.

Zhou Wencai widened his eyes and looked at the dumplings in the bowl in disbelief. ‘How can this be so delicious?’ Then, he focused on eating.

“Yuelan, did you find a method to cook these dumplings?” When he was already 80 percent full, Liu Jiaying asked.

“Ya.” Lin Yuelan replied.

“You are very smart.” Liu Jiaying praised sincerely, “You can not only defeat the tiger, but you can also cook.”

Lin Yuelan smiled but did not reply.

Zhou Wencai moved and asked Lin Yuelan, “Nona Lin, can this be sold at the inn?”

His family does not have a restaurant. He asked on behalf of Liu Qi. Liu Jiaying was simple-minded and would never think of this business opportunity.

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, “I plan to sell this myself.”

“What?”

“You will sell dumplings?!”

Some people screamed in disbelief.

Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “Of course. Not only will I sell dumplings, but I will also sell spicy hot pot, hot pot, and barbecue.”

Other than Zhou Wencai, the others focused on unknown foods.

Zhou Wencai frowned slightly. He asked puzzledly, “Nona Lin, didn't you promise to cooperate with Yuelai Inn and give Brother Liu a new recipe every month? If you sell this yourself.” Zhou Wencai did not finish his sentence, but Lin Yuelan understood it.

Lin Yuelan's lips curved up, and her voice was clear and loud as she said, “Young master Zhou, don't worry. Since I work with Liu Qi, I will not oppose the agreement.”

He explained, “The shop I want to open will not conflict with Yuelai Inn because I plan to start a small restaurant.”

“A small restaurant?”

Everyone is confused. No one knows what a small restaurant is.

Lin Yuelan explained, “A small restaurant usually sells snacks. For example, these dumplings are also snacks. They are not to fill someone's stomach. It's for people to finish their snack desires. ”

Those people nodded with half understanding.

Guo Bing swallowed the dumplings with a gulp and asked, “So, Miss Lin, you mean you will make a better snack in the future like spicy hot pot and so on?”

Instead of asking about the small restaurant, she focused on the food. She really is a real foodie.

Zhou Wencai quietly sighed in relief for his friend.

Fortunately, Lin yuelan did not breach the contract. Otherwise, the Yuelai Inn would have suffered heavy losses.

Zhou Wencai immediately said, “Miss Lin, if you need my help, please feel free to ask. I'll do my best to get it done for you. ”

She was happy to help Lin Yuelan if it meant that she could eat her delicious food every day.

When Jiang Zhennan heard that Lin Yuelan wanted to open a small restaurant, her heart immediately warmed. This meant that he would have more opportunities to help her in the future.

But then his eyes darkened again. He thought of the mask and the scar on his face.

Wearing a mask will attract too much attention. If he doesn't wear a mask, he's afraid he'll scare women and children.

Jiang Zhennan hesitated for a moment, then she made up her mind and said, “It has been decided. I will ask Miss Lin to remove this scar!”

Only by removing the scar could he be by Lin Yuelan's side to help her in the small restaurant.

He had been told to stay at home while the other people went to the city with Lin Yuelan. Jiang Zhennan was a little jealous.
