Chapter 60 Opening a Store (1)

Just after the hour of Wei, the sun gradually sank to the west, and Mujia Village was shrouded in a soft sunset glow. Above the village, smoke curled up and smoky clouds filled the air. Each family began to cook dinner.

After Mrs. Du, who was helping with cooking at Zhou's house, finished her work, she returned home. Before she entered the yard, she smelled a strong aroma of barbecue in the air. When she entered the big house, she found that it was her children who were happily surrounding the charcoal basin. The eldest daughter was holding a few long dry branches with small pieces of meat on them. She was roasting them on the charcoal fire, fanning them with a fan, and occasionally sprinkling some seasoning on the meat.

Seeing Mrs. Du coming back, the children all greeted her happily: "Mom, come and eat the skewers, the skewers that my eldest sister grilled are delicious!"

Mrs. Du followed the mouth-watering aroma and walked over, holding Wu'er in her arms, sat down, and asked curiously: "What are you doing?"

Caiwei fanned the fire while handing over a skewer of grilled meat, saying: "Mom, don't ask, just try it and see if it tastes good or not?"

Mrs. Du took it and saw that the meat on the skewer was roasted golden and crispy, and various seasonings were wrapped around the meat, with a little oily sheen. The fragrant aroma came in waves, making people salivate and their appetites grow!

Put it to her mouth and took a bite, and she felt that this taste should only be found in heaven, and it is rare to see it in the world!

"Hmm, delicious!"

Mrs. Du, who had never cared much about her appetite, was surprised in an instant.

Several children each took a skewer and ate it with big mouthfuls, leaving a circle of oil around their mouths.

After eating a skewer, Mrs. Du thought it was delicious and asked, "What is this? Why is it so delicious?"

Caiwei said concisely, "Grilled meat skewers!"

Mrs. Du was a little puzzled, "How did you know this?"

Caiwei said calmly, "I thought of it when I was free, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious!" Then she asked casually, "Mom, have those people from the Zhou family left?"

"Yes, they left. The carriage your uncle Zhou hired for them was hired from your uncle's family. They said they went to the town!"

Hearing the topic raised by Caiwei, Mrs. Du talked more.

"I'm so lucky today. I met that noble man and got a hundred taels of silver for free. Our family will be much more relaxed in the future. That young man is really generous. He not only gave me, but also your Aunt Zhou a hundred taels of silver! Oh! By the way, he ate your crystal jelly and praised it highly. He also wanted to meet you! But mother thought that although we are poor, it is not easy for a girl to meet outsiders, so mother refused!"

"Oh!" Caiwei felt much more relaxed.

Secretly: It's good to leave. She doesn't care whether that monster praises her or not. As for wanting to see her, she only hopes that she will never meet him again in this life!

Women love to nag, and so does my mother. Because she was in a good mood, she talked more and kept on talking: "Do you know? There was a tiger in our back mountain. Your Uncle Zhou and Jiujin decided not to hunt anymore and were going to find a way to make a living..."

Muttering, Mrs. Du ate a few more skewers. If she wasn't afraid of indigestion at night, she would have eaten more.

Caiwei stopped what she was doing when she heard what her mother said, and asked: "Mother, do you know what Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou want to do for a living?"

Mrs. Du said: "The whole family is planning it, and it hasn't been decided yet!"

As the mother and the daughter were talking, Aunt Zhou's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Sister Du, are you home?"

"Oh, as soon as you mention the devil, your Aunt Zhou is here, mother will go open the door!" She stood up and went out to greet him.
