Chapter 131 Getting Familiar with the Environment
Song Sanniang ran to the kitchen and asked Song Ersao, "Mother, why don't I see Si Niang and the others?"
Mrs. Song smiled as she worked and replied, "Your uncle and his friends came to deliver goods a few days ago, and they were bored here.
Just go back to the village with your uncle and his family to play with your little cousins for a few days, and then come back when your uncle and his family come to deliver the goods next time."
"Why are uncle and his men here? Didn't they deliver the goods by boat?"
"It was a boat. Your uncle and his family missed their child, so they came to visit by boat."
Only then did Song Sanniang turn around and go back to her room.
Not long after she returned to the room, her aunt came to call her to take a shower.
So she took her clothes and prepared to take a shower. Before taking a shower, she told Qin Yuanyuan that Qin Haodong and his room were next door, so she could go there to find Qin Haodong and his room.
Qin Yuanyuan smiled and agreed. She didn't have much stuff, so she put it away quickly. She left the room and went to check on Qin Haodong and the others.
The door of Qin Haodong's room was open. When they saw her coming, they quickly let her in.
Qin Yuanyuan walked in and found that the furnishings in their room were the same as those in Song Sanniang's room.
There was also a bunk bed, a wardrobe, a desk and a chair. Their room was much emptier than Song Sanniang's room, probably because they didn't have many things.
However, there were a few stacked wooden stools in the corner, and on the desk in Song Sanniang's room, in addition to pens, inkstones, and paper, there were also many children's toys and ornaments.
"I thought your room was a mess, so I was planning to clean it for you, but I didn't expect you to make it so clean." Qin Yuanyuan said with a smile.
Qin Haoxi pulled her to sit on the chair, and then he and Qin Haodong sat on the bed. "Sister Jixiang asked brother to teach us. Everyone will study in our room. We have to keep the room clean, otherwise it will be so embarrassing."
Qin Yuanyuan asked curiously, "Do you still need to study?"
"Yes, at night, after we clean the store, those who can't read will listen to our brother's lessons. After studying for a while, we will go back to the dormitory to take a shower and sleep." Qin Haoxi replied seriously.
"Will those aunts learn together?" Qin Yuanyuan asked again.
"If you want to learn, you can come and learn. If you don't want to learn, that's fine too. But for the little ones like us, we must come and learn. This is Sister Jixiang's rule."
Qin Yuanyuan nodded, thinking that this was a good idea. She also followed Qin Haodong and squeezed out time every day to learn to read, and gradually she was able to read through the article.
Song Sanniang had finished her shower. When she returned to her room, she didn't see Qin Yuanyuan. She knew that she had gone to Qin Haodong's room, so she wrapped her head and went to the next room to look for her.
The backyard is so small and there is no hair dryer, so everyone wraps their hair like this after washing it. Everyone is used to it and doesn't think it's a big deal.
"I'm done, it's your turn." Song Sanniang said to Qin Yuanyuan. Qin Yuanyuan stood up and went to take a bath.
However, when she returned to the room, she found that she didn't have a bath towel. Song Sanniang saw that she only took clothes, so she took out a new bath towel and gave it to Qin Yuanyuan. Qin Yuanyuan thanked her before going to take a bath.
After everyone took turns to take a shower and then took a nap, it was already afternoon and the store was still very busy.
After waking up, Song Sanniang was energetic and ready to work. She first checked the account book of the store and found that during her absence, the business was as usual, with an income of more than thirty taels every day.
Then she remembered Master Tan, so she found an errand boy to tell him to pick her up the next day to discuss cooperation.
Qin Haodong also came to the front desk to help. Qin Haoxi was still young, so his sleep quality was better. He was still sleeping.
Qin Yuanyuan didn't know what she was supposed to do, so Qin Haodong asked her to follow him to the front desk to learn about the store's sweets and condiments, and then learn the store's various processes.
Seeing the brother and sister like this, Song Sanniang decided not to disturb them. She wrote a message that the store would close early tonight and posted it outside the door. After all the customers left, the store would no longer receive any customers.
After the customers in the restaurant left one after another, the kitchen started to prepare today's dinner. Now, including Qin Yuanyuan, there are a total of eighteen people in the restaurant. Song Ersao and the others discussed at noon to make a total of twelve dishes.
The 12 dishes include boiled chicken, soy sauce chicken, steamed tilapia, braised lion's head, salt and pepper prawns, braised pork trotters, steamed spareribs, stir-fried pork offal, garlic choy sum, stir-fried lettuce, hot and sour cabbage, lotus root and sparerib soup,
We closed early today, and there were still some skewers left, so we added a skewers feast.
The food was ready. Song Ersao and the others took turns to bring out the dishes. The two round tables were filled with dishes. Everyone helped themselves to the food and took what they wanted to eat.
Qin Yuanyuan was a little reserved, so Qin Haodong took her bowl and filled it with food for her.
Everyone introduced the people in the store to her while they were eating. There were so many people in the store that she was a little confused.
Among all the aunts, she remembered Second Sister Song because she was Miss Song's mother and was the easiest to remember.
Then there are the aunt, Aunt Cuihua, etc. Because they are the same age and dress the same, it is really confusing at first.
Like Liu Zezheng and others, their age, height and clothes are similar, so it's hard to tell them apart.
But everyone knew that there was no rush, so they all kindly told her who they were before talking to her. Qin Yuanyuan became less reserved as she ate.
But she was still shocked, because even when her parents were at home, they didn't have so many dishes.
Even in the Su Mansion, there were only two meat dishes and one vegetable dish. Seeing Qin Haodong pick up a bowl of food for her, she felt her scalp tingling.
Because she couldn't eat that much normally, and because of nervousness, her appetite was not very good,
She quietly asked Qin Haodong, "Brother, do you usually eat so many dishes?"
Qin Haodong smiled when he heard this and said, "No, this is specially made to welcome you. We usually only have five or six dishes, but the amount of food and rice is enough. Haven't you seen how tall and strong I am? Haoxi has grown taller too."
Qin Yuanyuan nodded. She looked at the food in her bowl with some distress and whispered, "Brother, I'm full. You gave me too much food."
Qin Haodong looked at her bowl and felt that it was untouched. He asked with concern, "I see that your food seems to be untouched. Why don't you eat more? You look so thin now."
Qin Yuanyuan frowned and said, "I'm really full. I don't usually eat much, but you gave me so many dishes."
Upon hearing this, Qin Haodong could only pour the food in her bowl into his own bowl. This one action instantly made both of them feel like they were back home, because in the past at home, Qin Haodong would help Qin Yuanyuan finish the food she couldn't finish.
Although Qin Yuanyuan didn't eat much, she was the star of the show. After the meal, everyone didn't leave immediately. There was still some leftover sweet soup in the store, so everyone picked out what they liked and ate it.
Qin Yuanyuan also drank a bowl of the sweet soup that Song Sanniang prepared for her at her recommendation. Qin Yuanyuan didn't eat much during the meal, but she felt that the sweet soup was very much to her liking, so she finished the whole bowl.
After she finished eating, she said to Song Sanniang in admiration, "No wonder the store has so much business. This sweet soup is really delicious. It is different from the sweet soup we drank before. I didn't eat anything like this when I was at the Su family."
Song Sanniang was quite proud. She smiled and said, "Is that so? If I asked you to be the shopkeeper of a branch store, would you have the confidence?"
Qin Yuanyuan shook her head a little unconfidently and replied, "I don't know."
Song Sanniang nodded in understanding, "Okay, it's okay, you can help in the store and learn first."
Qin Yuanyuan nodded in confirmation, and that night, everyone happily spent a lively dinner together.
