“I heard that Lin Yuanshan only entered Class A last season. He seemed to be in Class B before. Previously, that old lady from the Lin family had been showing off to the neighbors!”
Upon hearing the name, Liu Shi and Lin Xiaoyue’s expressions changed.
Aunt Jiang also noticed it and did not dare to continue.
“Hehe, Qing’er is great! Next year, if he really passes the examination, he’ll bring glory to Daishi Village!”
“Xiaozhi will also be amazing in the future!”
It had been two years since Daishi Village produced a scholar.
They had only heard of two from nearby villages.
“Thank you for your kind words!” Lin Xiaoyue replied with a smile.
Liu Shi also smiled and thanked Aunt Jiang.
After chatting for a while, Aunt Jiang brought Jiang Juhua back.
Aunt Jiang glared at her daughter.
Jiang Juhua felt a little wronged.
She wanted her to get closer to the Liu family.
Besides, she was not the one who mentioned the Lin family just now.
On the other side, Lin Xiaoyue asked Lin Xiaozhi to play by himself while she followed Liu Shi to the big tree.
The mother and daughter looked at the kitchen in tacit understanding. Then, they sat down on chairs.
“Did anything happen to Aunt Jiang and the others?” Lin Xiaoyue lowered her voice and asked Liu Shi.
After Hei Gang acknowledged her mother as his godmother, she and Li Xiao had gotten married in a high-profile manner.
She realized that Aunt Jiang s attitude towards her family was different.
She didn’t spear as casually as before. Instead, she sounded more respectful.
Actually, it was not a bad thing, at least Lin Xiaoyue thought so.
However, she was worried that her mother would not be used to it.
After all, in Daishi Village, her mother was closest to Aunt Jiang after Aunt Wang.
“No.”
“It’s not so warm anymore these days. There are fewer cold cakes sold in town, and Shuanzi’s business is not as good as before.”
“We don’t have to work overtime in the workshop now. We might even need to let some of them go soon.”
“Aunt Jiang is worried. She was afraid that you would let the four of them go. The wages for four people a day is quite a lot.” Liu Shi said to Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue paused and smiled.
“Yes, it’s true that we won’t be able to sell a large number of cold cakes in the coming days. When winter comes, only the restaurants and our shop in town would need some.”
“At that time, it’s considered good if we can sell 20 buckets a day.”
When winter came, Wang Shuanzi and Li Laishun’s business would stop. There was no need for her to set up a stall in the market too.
It was only in restaurants that customers might still want to eat cold cakes after eating greasy food.
However, they would probably only order one bowl and not pack some home like before.
They might still sell some in the eatery.
She could sell them together with her spicy skewers, but they would only be sold to dine-in customers. As a result, the sales volume would not be high.
Liu Shi frowned.
“Less than io%?” She looked worried.
Liu Shi’s expression became even more solemn when she thought about how she would not be able to sell any cold cakes in the village.
“It’s okay. When the cold cake business is not good, we can do something else.” Lin Xiaoyue grabbed Liu Shi’s hand and comforted her.
“The chilies in the field have already borne fruit. In a few days, when the red chilies come out, the kitchen will not be so busy anymore.”
“I’ll ask Aunt Jiang, Juhua and Xioahua to pick the chili peppers. We need manpower to pick, dry and process them.”
“Also, while the family is not so busy, i also want to make some pickled vegetables, pickles, and spicy cabbage. When winter comes, you can use it to cook.”
Thinking of pickled fish, pickled pepper fish, pickled pepper shredded pork, and other dishes, Lin Xiaoyue drooled.
The house was more relaxed during the winter, so she would have more time to cook.
She liked to cook delicious food, but she liked to eat delicious food even more…
Eh, she’s suddenly looking forward to winter.
Liu Shi glanced at her daughter, but her expression was still a little worried.
“Aiya, mom, don’t worry! I’m confident!” Lin Xiaoyue patted her chest..
