Chapter 270 The Feng Family Receives Wages and Prepares to Leave

How can the noodles be pulled so apart and taste so chewy?

He doesn't like eating noodles very much, but he particularly likes this stewed noodles.

And the corn tortillas made him very satisfied with the meal.

Of course, he also saw business opportunities.

"Sister-in-law, if you don't sell your braised pork recipe, you can sell this fried chicken recipe, right? I want to make this big plate of chicken, and the pulled noodles just now, and these peanuts. When your land produces, I will buy them."

Bai Shao thought that this big plate of chicken was really good. A plate of chicken plus the stewed noodles could fill several people up. It was economical and affordable and would definitely attract a large number of people.

"That's fine, but I still have to keep the potatoes here for seedlings, so I'm afraid I won't be able to do this business this year."

Su Wanwan responded with a smile.

This big plate of chicken is not difficult to make, it's just that there was no stewed noodles in that era, and stewed noodles are just a bit novel. I originally thought that there was a sister-in-law in the village who wanted to do this business for the villagers, but I thought that the villagers would be very busy in the future, and I was afraid that no one would go to the town or somewhere else to open a store. The key is that they don't have the ability to do so for the time being.

"That's great. It's settled then. When we come to harvest potatoes next year, I'll ask for this recipe. Sister-in-law, you must keep it for me. The price is negotiable."

Bai Shao was happy, thinking that the trip was not in vain.

Lin Wenyue laughed at him:

"Cousin, I asked you to come here, didn't I? I told you that the food my sister-in-law cooks is especially delicious."

Bai Shao couldn't help but nodded.

Only Shen Yuan silently picked up food for his wife, while Zhao Qinghai just kept eating.

"Mom, I like this candied sweet potato. It's so sweet and has sugar on it."

Xiao Yue'er has already eaten several pieces. The sweet potato is even stretched into strings when picked up, which is very interesting.

Xiao Yunyi also nodded, he also liked candied sweet potatoes.

"Sweet potatoes are sweet enough, and with a layer of syrup on top, they must be even sweeter."

Su Wanwan nodded:

"That's right. This dish uses too much sugar. Most people wouldn't cook it this way. Sweet potatoes are best when they're roasted."

Everyone nodded, saying that sweet potatoes are really good.

Rich families use various cooking methods, while ordinary people just steam or bake it.

Everyone was very satisfied after the meal. Su Wanwan fried a lot of sweet potato balls, so she packed some for them to take back.

Lin Wenyue didn't hesitate and gave it to Sister Ye to taste.

Now that she has her cousin to protect her, she can also stay at Sister Ye's place for a few days.

Sister Ye has now moved to the neighboring Wanggang Village, which is also very convenient. Sister also said that once she is stable there, she will also come to Daliushu Village for a visit.

Zhao Qinghai was quite busy, so he returned immediately after dinner. Bai Shao and Lin Wenyue also said goodbye and left.

Not long after they left, Feng Shi and Feng Xiaorou came over together.

Su Wanwan felt a little reluctant to leave when she saw them.

Although Zhao Yuanyuan was annoying, the mother and daughter were not only hardworking but also kind-hearted, especially Feng Xiaorou, whose temperament she liked.

But precisely because of their kindness, they couldn't let Zhao Yuanyuan leave alone, after all, she was a family member.

Shen Yuan wisely avoided the two of them and took Yun Yi to the workshop.

The Feng family is leaving, and only two families are left. There is a shortage of manpower in the workshop, but fortunately it is almost finished, so we can find two more people in the village to help.

Su Wanwan did the math. There were four people in the Feng family. Feng's husband was a simple and honest man, and he was also hardworking and willing to endure hardships. Before the rain, he earned five copper coins a day. After the drought ended, he received a normal salary of twenty copper coins a day with one meal.

Feng and Feng Xiaorou were laborers, earning ten copper coins a day.

Feng Xiaorou also has a younger brother who is only ten years old. However, he is also very diligent. Although he is young, he does a lot of work and earns ten copper coins a day.

Su Wanwan did not leave Zhao Yuanyuan behind. Although that person was rather lazy and did less work, it was already agreed upon in the beginning, so she was also considered a laborer, and like Feng Xiaorou, she was also paid for what was due.

She also prepared a bag of coarse grains for them, asking them to make dry food tonight and eat it on the road.

Thinking about how so many people from the same village died during the escape from famine, they were lucky to have met the Dong family, which gave them a chance to survive. Feng couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, and she knelt down and kowtowed to Su Wanwan.

Feng Xiaorou also knelt down. In fact, she liked this lady very much, a kind of liking that was admiration.

The lady was the most capable woman she had ever met.

Su Wanwan was a little uncomfortable. In modern times, I am the boss and you are the worker, and paying wages is a normal thing.

But she also knew that this was ancient times.

Being able to have something to eat in years of famine is a life-saving grace.

After letting them kowtow, Su Wanwan immediately asked the two of them to stand up.

"Keep the money. Apart from the children, Uncle Feng is the only man among you. You must be careful on the road and don't show off your wealth. You should buy things in your local area. It's inconvenient to carry them with you."

They have been here for nearly two months and have been paid quite a bit.

At this time, although the refugees had all returned home, the journey back was mountainous and they were afraid that some of them would not be able to survive and would become bandits.

Speaking of this, Feng felt sad again.

What a nice lady.

In fact, they also thought that if they went back this time, they would miss the opportunity for the refugees to return home. They were afraid that the journey would not be peaceful and they did not know whether they could arrive safely.

Moreover, so many people left the village at that time, and many people died. I don’t know if the heavy rain that happened just after the drought destroyed their homes.

Even if it wasn't washed away, they haven't been back for so long that people might think they were dead and have no idea whether the house and the land are still there.

"Thank you ma'am, we will be careful."

Feng Xiaorou responded.

She didn't cry, as she felt crying was useless.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of my cousin. Thank you, too. I know that if it weren't for you, we wouldn't be here until now."

Feng Xiaorou said out loud what she had been holding back for a long time.

When she first came to Daliushu Village, she knew that Zhao Yuanyuan’s first target would be the boss. The lady must have known that.

Given the boss's temperament, if the lady hadn't stopped them, they would have been kicked out long ago.

"I wish you and the Dong family good health and longevity, and everything goes well. If we have the chance to meet again in the future, Xiaorou will definitely repay your kindness. Farewell."

Feng Xiaorou knelt down again and kowtowed hard. She couldn't hold back any longer and her eyes finally turned red.

At this moment, Su Wanwan actually hoped that she would stay.

She is in great need of people here. Feng Xiaorou is different from those ordinary girls from farmers' families in ancient times.

Not only does she have the qualities of hard work and dedication like those girls, but more importantly, she has a cheerful personality and is obviously a career-oriented person, not the kind of person who just wants to resign herself to her fate and get married when she reaches a certain age and waste her life.

But she also knew that if she really stayed at this time, she would not be able to bear the thought of her parents and brother leaving.

"Xiao Rou, let's put it this way. When you have settled down in your hometown, if you want to come, you are always welcome to my workshop. Of course, if you want to stay now, that is also possible."

Su Wanwan gave her the choice.
