Chapter 119 The pepper is ripe
"Really? The shop is already being renovated. Once the renovation is complete and a group of people are trained, we can open a shop here."
"That's great."
Mu Ziqi thought about writing a letter to Tang Yuhe when he got back and telling him the good news.
"Sister, do you want to open a bakery?"
"Yes, next time Lei Lei goes to Bofeng County, he can also buy bread."
"Does Leilei have a bakery at home?"
His home refers to Changling Mansion.
"Yes." Huang Mulin scratched his little nose: "Your father has already gone back to arrange for the opening of a bakery."
Tang Lei's nose felt a little itchy from being scratched by her, and when he heard her say that his father had gone home to sell bread, he chuckled happily.
The atmosphere in the carriage is great, and the scenery outside the carriage is also great.
Everything is fine.
When they arrived at the county seat of Qiling County, Yang Lijun and Huang Mulin got off the carriage, Yu Ze also stayed, and Old Wang took Mu Ziqi and Wan Wenfang and their son back to Linhai Town.
Yang Lijun and others did not go to find Boss Zhang, but went straight back to their house in the county town. They were a little tired after sitting in the carriage for a whole day, so they planned to wash up, eat, and rest, and arrange the purchase of people tomorrow.
Old Wang came back in the evening.
On the second day, Boss Zhang happily received Yang Lijun and others.
He has been working as a broker for a long time, but in Qiling County, no other family is so generous as to buy people in waves.
After selecting the people, Old Wang went to settle the bill and took them back to Nanny Tian, then came back to pick up Huang Mulin and others to return to Linhai Town.
Huang Mulin returned home and was surprised to find that all the peppers under the windowsill of her room had ripened in just a few days since she was away!
She originally thought that it would take at least a month for him to mature, so she entrusted him to her family to help take care of him during the few days she was away.
Including Lingyun and Fentian.
Lingyun is a cat and Fentian is a bird.
Originally, Huang Mulin looked for some cute reduplicated characters to name them, but the strange scenery she saw in the evening of the second day after she brought them back changed her mind.
The sunset that day was particularly beautiful, dyeing the sky red, a rare sight in winter. She was just about to go downstairs for dinner when she looked up and saw a cat and a bird on the windowsill.
The cat was lying on its stomach, looking into the distance, very similar to the posture of the cat she had seen in the Buwang Embroidery Shop. The difference was that the cat she raised had no eyes for anything.
It's the kind of arrogance that makes it feel like nothing can catch its eye.
The little red bird half nestling on the cat's body almost blends into the fiery sunset, as if it wants to catch fire.
Not losing a bit of edge.
Based on her feelings at that moment, she browsed and searched many names after falling asleep at night, and finally decided on one.
Cat, Lingyun.
Bird, burning the sky.
It was a very imposing name, but it was seriously inconsistent with their current image. Even other people were a little surprised when they knew the name she gave it.
But, she likes it, they like it, that's fine.
"Mother~"
Huang Mulin ran to He Huiniang's room.
"Have the peppers been watered and kept warm as usual these days?"
"Yes."
He Hui Niang answered, and then added: "He has grown very fast these past few days, and he looks very different every day."
She was just wondering.
I used to accompany my daughter in her care every day, but I didn’t notice that she grew so fast.
When the girl was away from home and entrusted to her care, the peppers grew so fast that she was shocked. She thought the peppers were sick and was worried for several days, but after observing them day by day, she found that there was nothing wrong except that the flesh had grown bigger, changed color, and became shiny.
"What is the problem?"
"It's a bit strange, how come it matured in just a few days..." Huang Mulin looked at her mother hesitantly: "Mom, did you secretly use some magic on the peppers without telling me?"
Seriously doubtful.
"You girl!"
He Hui Niang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"If I knew magic, would the rice seedlings in our fields have lived so miserably in the past few years?"
"...makes sense."
"Come on, it's not a bad thing."
Because her daughter often had some magical things suddenly appear, He Hui Niang had long been immune to it. She just thought that the chili peppers had become a little magical because of her care. Anyway, they were fine, right?
"Makes sense."
Huang Mulin confirmed it again and stopped hesitating. He asked He Huiniang for a pair of small scissors and said he wanted to go back to cut peppers.
He Hui Niang was worried and wanted to go together.
She cut the peppers one by one according to Huang Mulin's request, then took a dense cloth, cut the peppers open, took out all the pepper seeds, and put the pepper flesh into a large bowl beside her.
After only getting a small part, Huang Bo and his sons came back.
"Oops, I forgot to cook."
The two of them were so busy that they forgot to make dinner.
At noon, Huang Mulin, He Huiniang, Yang Lijun, and Yu Ze all ate together. They ate fast food like the guests. Deng Da and his wife, the old women, and the servants all ate fast food to avoid the hassle of eating again.
At Huang's Bakery, when there are fewer customers around noon, someone will be arranged to come and take the day's fast food back to the bakery, and then return the dishes after eating.
Every day, Deng Da and his wife, as well as the maids and servants, would wait until all the guests had left, clean up and tidy up, then close the shop and return to their house on East Street.
The people at the bakery finished work early. They were responsible for buying vegetables and doing some simple processing while waiting for Dengda and his wife and the kitchen maid to return to prepare.
Naturally, their wages will be higher than others.
The more you work, the more you get.
Fang Zheng ate with Huang Bo in Xiushan Village at noon every day. After sending Huang Bo and his son back to the Huang family canteen, he drove the carriage back to the house to park the carriage, and then had dinner with everyone else.
Basically, by the time he returned to the house, Dengda and his wife had almost finished cooking.
Huang Bo and his sons closed the shop and walked to the backyard. They were wondering why the first floor was dark. Usually at this time, He Hui Niang and Huang Mulin would be waiting for them on the first floor to come back for dinner.
"Master." He Hui Niang just came out of Huang Mulin's room. She looked down and saw her husband and sons. "Sorry, sorry. Mu Mu and I were cooking peppers and forgot to cook."
"Oh, it's okay, I'll do it."
Huang Bo rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen.
"Dad, let me help you."
Huang Qilin followed him.
As for Huang Jinlin, he rushed upstairs when he heard his mother say that she was preparing peppers.
Huang Haolin and Huang Xilin were also very curious, so they went upstairs together.
He Hui Niang found two pairs of scissors and put them in the hands of the second and fourth sons, while Huang Xilin and Huang Mulin spread out the chili seeds to dry.
The few people worked quickly, and when Huang Bo called them to eat, the peppers were basically processed.
The main reason was that Huang Mulin was unsure at the beginning and didn't dare to plant too many, fearing that the peppers would not grow well in the later stage and the seeds would be wasted.
Secondly, I want to know what varieties of peppers I can grow.
