I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 772 Inviting Xie Yu

A plate of duck slices was quickly cleared, and several people smacked their lips with relish.

"Mom, how did you think of eating duck like this?"

"Do you like it?"

Everyone nodded. It was the first time they saw this way of eating, so how could they not like it.

"I read in the food notes that in addition to roast duck, there is also gourd duck. Gourd duck is more difficult than roast duck, so I won't make it. This is relatively simple, but it's also labor-intensive."

Bai Yunxi said, looking at Xiao Si,

"I started thinking about this when you started raising ducks."

Xiao Si was stunned, his eyes warmed, it turned out that his mother had already started planning for him. No wonder every time he asked, his mother looked mysterious, that's it.

"It's the first time for mom to make it, and some places need to be improved, just like the first two, the roasting time is a little longer, and the color of the skin is a little dark..."

Bai Yunxi said, pointing to the two drying next to it, which were a little burnt.

"I have taught you the techniques and production methods. The taste is OK. You need to figure out the rest by yourself. It's best if you can improve it, but you must not reduce the steps. When you are proficient, we will rent a shop in the county to sell roast duck and make a fortune before the New Year."

"Don't worry, mother, I will do my best." Xiao Si's eyes were firm and full of energy.

In the next few days, Xiao Si was busy like a top, constantly practicing techniques and improving the heat. Hard work paid off. Until the seventh roast duck was served, everyone finally stopped making suggestions and nodded with shining eyes.

"I succeeded." Xiao Si rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes were red.

"Tomorrow morning we will go straight to the county and find Xiao Wu to rent a shop to open a roast duck restaurant."

Bai Yunxi wiped her hands with a handkerchief and made the decision directly. According to the previous management, the house was still left to the daughter Lao Er to take care of Li and the children, and Shu Ren was watching the duck factory.

She and Wen You took Xiao Si and Du to the county together.

There is still more than a month before the Chinese New Year. As long as the business opens smoothly and the first shot is fired, the orders for the Chinese New Year alone will be enough to make a profit.

"Mom, how much do we plan to charge for each duck?"

As soon as this was said, everyone's eyes fell on Bai Yunxi, waiting for her answer.

Looking at the expectant eyes of several people, Bai Yunxi smiled, "Why are you in a hurry? You will know after you go to the county."

Needless to say, things are naturally expensive because they are rare. The money earned from roast duck is from rich people, so the price will naturally not be low.

The next morning, several people packed up their clothes and some items needed for roast duck and daily necessities, as well as a few roast ducks that had been slaughtered, and drove the carriage all the way to the county town with Wenyou.

After entering the county town, they stayed at Nanshan Inn as usual. Thinking that the roast duck business would continue until the end of the year, Bai Yunxi thought it would be more appropriate to rent a farmhouse.

After settling down, Bai Yunxi took Wenyou out to Zaoshu Hutong to find Aunt Hu.

That person is a gossip. Whether it is renting a yard or a shop, you will definitely get information if you ask her. Besides, when I left last time, I not only gave her a little more money, but also left some food. Aunt Hu walks around the streets every day. She is also a person of appearance and knows what is good and what is bad.

In the deepest alley of Zaoshu Hutong, there are two thatched houses. Aunt Hu lives there with her grandson. She lives by renting the old yard to make money.

When the old lady saw Bai Yunxi, she was stunned, "Sister, it's so cold, why did you go out?"

"Sister Hu, I'm here to bother you again. I want to rent another yard. I know you have a wide range of information, so I came to ask."

Bai Yunxi said, handing over a box of cakes,

"Snacks for Goudan, don't complain about the small amount."

"Oh, no, no. Sister, come in and warm up quickly. You must have been freezing all the way to find a yard in such a cold weather."

As she said that, she let Bai Yunxi into the house and hurried to pour water for her.

Bai Yunxi sat down next to the door. The house was very dark in the daytime, and because it was old, it was damp, similar to the shack they lived in a few years ago.

Old Lady Hu handed over the hot water, "We don't have tea leaves at home, please forgive me."

Bai Yunxi didn't care at all, took it and took a sip, "You're polite, hot water is good, don't we just want a hot drink when we go out?"

The smile on Old Lady Hu's face became even stronger for Bai Yunxi's attitude.

"Speaking of which, we are also predestined. You came by chance. My yard is not rented out. If you want to rent it, just move in. It's still the same as before, nothing has been moved."

Hearing Old Lady Hu's tone, Bai Yunxi was stunned. When they moved out, the old lady said that they had found a tenant. Could it be that something went wrong again?

However, she couldn't ask about this matter. When she heard that the house was still vacant, she immediately agreed happily.

"It's better to come at the right time than to come early. This time I plan to rent it for three months, and it will be after the New Year."

"Okay, okay, you can rent it for as long as you want. Just tell me in advance so that I can be prepared."

When the old lady heard that she wanted to rent it for three months, her eyes lit up. During the New Year, many people would cancel their leases and return to their hometowns. Unexpectedly, she could still meet the tenant. It was considered that her grandparents and grandchildren were lucky and could have a good New Year.

After paying the rent and taking the key, Bai Yunxi and Wenyou went directly to the yard, cleaned it a little, filled the tank with water, and then went back to the inn.

As for the guest room, if you didn't stay for a full day, you had to pay the fee for one day. Bai Yunxi didn't care. After checking out the guest room, she moved directly into Zaoshu Hutong.

With the diligent Du taking care of things, Bai Yunxi took Wenyou to the street to buy vegetables. When they came back, the house was already warm.

They brought all the items, including bamboo charcoal for heating.

"Mom, I made sour cabbage soup and steamed buns. Let's fill our stomachs first and cook formally tomorrow."

Du wiped her hands and brought a pot of sour soup with sliced ​​meat to the table. She wasted a lot of time organizing things today, and cooking was a bit tight.

"It's okay, don't get tired. I bought all the vegetables for the past few days. You can cook them as you like."

"Hey~,"

After a simple meal, it was already dusk. Except for Xiao Si who was still preparing his things by lamplight, Bai Yunxi and the others went to bed early.

The next day, they built a grill under the shed. Xiao Si started to develop ducks while the charcoal fire was baking.

This time, Bai Yunxi did not participate in the whole process and left it to him to take care of it.

Just as she was about to take Wenyou out, Xie Yu came with Xiaowen.

"Godmother, why didn't you come to me when you came to the county? Did my son offend you?"

Looking at Xie Yu who suddenly appeared, thinking of Nanshan Inn, Bai Yunxi slapped her forehead and forgot about it.

"You and Xiaowu are both in the critical period, sprinting for the next year's examination. Why did I come to the county to make a small fuss and provoke you?"
