Chapter 119 Sun Family
With the oxcart crashing, Lin Jiang stumbled forward, the pig intestines in his hand smeared all over his face, and the braised sauce stained his clothes...
When the two arrived at the backyard of Ping An Restaurant, they carried down several jars of sesame paste.
When Manager Xue delivered the money to the brothers, he smelled the braised meat on Lin Jiang.
They wouldn't let them leave no matter what, and insisted that he tell them what he had eaten.
Lin Jiang couldn't say anything either, and it was only after Lin Yu's persuasion that Manager Xue finally let them go.
After that, I went back to Lingwu Village with the brothers.
Sure enough, before anyone could even taste the first pot of braised meat prepared by Sun Xing, it was all taken away by Manager Xue.
Manager Xue was quite a talent. To avoid trouble from his competitors, he distributed the braised meat to two other reputable restaurants in the county.
Qinghe Restaurant sells braised chicken dishes, and Yumanlou sells braised duck dishes. Of course, they don't give you the whole duck; they give you the whole duck.
Now, when Dongfang Jin thinks about those two restaurants, she realizes how farsighted Manager Xue must have been for the Ma family.
No wonder Ma Wencai said that his grandfather would rather believe Manager Xue than his own sons.
Qinghe Restaurant was owned by the emperor when he was the crown prince, while Yumanlou was owned by Prince Dun.
Do you think this Manager Xue is an ordinary person? With these two powerful figures as his backers, how could these two families not treat him well?
Would anyone from other restaurants dare to bully him?
Dongfang Jin looked at Yang Zhu: "How was my method of hatching chicks?"
“I watch it every day. My mother-in-law found an old hen and put it in a separate area on the kang (heated brick bed).
You didn't see? My two mischievous kids are much more sensible now, they don't come near me anymore.
In the past, the more you forbade them to do something, the more they would insist on doing it.
This time, when their dad said it was a family experiment to hatch chicks, the two brothers were very obedient; neither of them stepped forward to join in.
"If you can control the temperature on the kang (heated brick bed), you can put an old quilt inside, and the eggs can hatch into chicks."
Upon hearing this, Gu Chenglin recalled the time when he delivered eggs that could hatch chicks to his third brother's family, and how his third brother's mother held those eggs with a pained expression, refusing to let them be hatched no matter what.
"Hehe, Fourth Aunt is worried about those eggs, take your time."
Dongfang Jin also thought of that matter and smiled: "I understand."
To put it bluntly, it's all because of poverty.
I heard that even getting food at Sun Xing's maternal family's place is a problem now.
Yang Zhu pouted: "My aunt also said that in the spring, there will be plenty of people coming from all over the streets to sell chicks and ducklings."
"If we can't hatch the eggs ourselves, they're wasted, and then they say we're fooling around."
"In the spring, quite a few people come to sell chicks and ducklings, but how many can they actually raise?"
Those chicks were lively and energetic in the peddler's cart, but once we bought them, they started to wilt after a couple of days, and then one after another they died.
Not many survived, and most of them were roosters. The chickens I raise at home are mostly bought from the market.
Seeing that she said that, Dongfang Jin didn't say anything more.
She really didn't understand this.
Gu Chenglin discovered this while browsing videos on Ruyi Realm, and later he searched for more related information himself.
In the end, they chose the most primitive method of incubating the eggs.
Anyway, every household has a heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed).
Hens don't lay eggs in winter, and some people keep old hens that don't lay eggs, but they are reluctant to sell them.
Just in time, we found a suitable place to incubate.
Sun Xing's father had three brothers, plus his great-uncle's family, making a total of five brothers. His father was the fourth oldest in his family.
The head of the Sun clan was Sun Xing's biological grandfather.
Gu Chenglin said that the next clan head of the Sun family plans to choose one of his second and third uncles.
Why isn't it his biological uncle?
Because his aunt's current energy is somewhat reminiscent of Granny Gu.
Because Sun Xing's eldest cousin, Sun Hu, had three daughters, and his younger cousin, Sun Hua, had two daughters.
The second uncle's (Sun Xing's great-uncle's eldest son) family, Sun Zhi, has two sons and one daughter.
My third uncle's family has three sons, my second cousin Sun Wei has three sons, and my cousin Sun Hao has two sons.
Sun Xing has two sons, and his younger brother Sun Yang has a son and a daughter.
My uncle (the youngest son of Sun Xing's great-uncle), my cousin Sun Yuan has two sons, and my cousin Sun Hui has one son.
Isn't Sun Xing's own aunt jealous?
She gave birth to two sons after marrying into the Sun family. If it weren't for the fact that she hadn't been pushed down by her sister-in-law when her second son, Sun Hua, was one year old, causing her to miscarry and harm her health, she would have been in serious trouble.
She's not infertile.
Now, she personally chose both of her daughters-in-law.
These people's mindsets are deeply ingrained, and it would be difficult to change them overnight. As Gu Chenglin said, we should take it slowly.
Sun Xing changed the subject: "Your scissors are really good."
He held a pair of pruning shears and, while trimming the grapevines, spoke to Gu Chenglin.
Gu Chenglin: "I found this at the dock. I heard that these shears are specially used for cutting tree branches, so I bought them because I thought they were interesting."
These scissors belonged to his wife's online space. Thinking back to what his wife had done last night, he was still shaken; it was too shocking.
If he could control weapons like his wife controls seeds, would those Xiongnu dazi be so arrogant?
"By the way, Third Brother, what do you think of that method I mentioned for increasing wheat production?"
Sun Xing felt a little embarrassed when he heard him say that: "Each of our families only cultivates three-tenths of an acre of land. The Lin family cultivates the most, but it's only one acre."
Cheng Lin, they'll only believe it if we show them results.
Gu Chenglin nodded, he had expected this: "I know, but that's how we plant all eighty acres of land at home. Let's see how it goes next year."
Sun Xing asked in surprise, "You've planted them all?"
"Yes, the people we hired were all former tenants of Master Tang's family."
Xiao Jin gave them extra money and also implemented a contract system for them.
The company that finishes the job the fastest gets a prize.
"Hehe, you guys didn't see those people, their enthusiasm was absolutely astonishing."
Sun Xing...
That's all because of money.
Seeing Chenglin like this now, he was genuinely happy for him.
Thinking of his former wife, and then looking at Chenglin's new wife, he was extremely satisfied.
Compared to the previous one, this wife is far superior.
He narrowed his eyes as he thought of what Chunsheng had said to him.
Are they still alive? So what?
He recalled how, when she was pregnant with Caiwei, his wife would secretly bring her food.
They said thank you one minute, and then cursed at them the next after finishing their food.
He said the food was too strong-smelling, which caused her to be scolded by her mother-in-law, making his wife cry for a long time after she came back.
From then on, his wife never brought her any food again.
Later, her mother saw her beating and scolding Shitou and Caiwei, who was just a month old, by the river, and went over to say a few words to her.
Although he didn't say anything at the time, he later beat and scolded the two children even more severely, while indirectly cursing their mother for meddling in his business.
No matter how any of them treated her during those years, none of them received any favors from her.
They also said that if it weren't for them, she wouldn't have been able to give birth to the child, suffer like that, and the child would have been branded as a bastard by that family.
He felt resentful whenever he thought about these things.
In retrospect, it was for the best that person left. Otherwise, if Cheng Lin had come back and faced her again, their lives would still not have improved.
Seeing my brother, who used to be quiet, now talkative and with a smile on his face.
I sometimes joke around with them; that's what makes me seem like a normal person, isn't it?
The four of them were working here, chatting and laughing, when Lai Bao, the eldest cousin of Sun Xing, came running over, panting, carrying a basket on his back.
"Third Uncle...a fight broke out. The Gu family...Gu Xiaohua's family, a lot of people came."
They beat up...the father of Gu Xiaohua.
Yang Zhu took the kettle and poured him a bowl of water: "Tell me slowly, what happened?"
