Chapter 124

Of course, the requirements of his wife and daughter were more important. Ming's father almost gave up the work at hand and hurriedly made the trolley that Mingxiu and Ming's mother asked for.

Although it is said to be a small cart, the sparrow is small but well-equipped. Mingxiu made it based on the street food carts in previous lives. It can be pushed by humans or pulled by animals.

Mingxiu and Mingmu were so fast that they could hardly keep up with the seasoning preparation.

Mingxiu plans to set up a Malatang stall on the street. It is not difficult to operate. Anyone who can cook can easily operate it, but it is also difficult to steal the skills.

After all, they still brewed the pot at home. Outsiders can only smell the aroma, but they cannot know what materials are used for the alcohol or how it is made.

Although Mingxiu didn't mind a simple recipe of spicy hotpot, Ming's mother was very concerned about it.

Since it is the mother's request, what should I do?

Just get used to it.

The mother and daughter, together with Aunt Peng's family, pushed the trolley toward the city.

Aunt Peng kept chatting with them along the way.

We are all from the hometown, and Aunt Peng was invited to work at their house. It is always difficult for Mingxiu and Ming's mother to talk to each other. They have already spoken, but they still don't answer, right?

"Is your girl not engaged yet?"

After Aunt Peng found out the important news, her eyes lit up. She looked back and forth at Mingxiu, as if she was planning something.

"It just so happens that my kid isn't engaged either, otherwise..."

Before she said the rest of her words, Ming's mother made a sad look, "There is only one girl in my family, Xiu'er, and there is no boy to support the family. I will discuss this with her father, or else I will recruit Xiu'er.

Let a son-in-law come to your door."

This is a common choice for many families with a little family and only one daughter.

It is not uncommon even in border towns, and it is even said to be the capital city.

Aunt Peng's expression suddenly stiffened.

Although she was very tempted by the conditions of the Ming family and Mingxiu's potential wealth when she got married, it did not mean that she was willing to let her son be her son-in-law.

Even a poor family with no money to eat would not let their son become their son-in-law if they were even a little bit angry.

That would be no different than marrying a son.

From now on, no matter whether you have a child or a daughter, you will have to take the wife's surname. Not only that, the wife will make the final decision on all matters at home. Men have no autonomy at all. Even if they want to go back home, they have to go to the daughter-in-law or the wife's family.

Only if you agree.

Although Aunt Peng loves money, she also loves her children. There is only one girl in the Ming family, Mingxiu, and she only has one son, Peng Hao. Everyone is the darling of the family.

"That's it..." Aunt Peng sneered and stopped answering.

But Ming's mother didn't let it go so easily, "What did you say just now? Your brother Hao isn't engaged yet, so otherwise..."

"My brother Hao is still young. His father and I were thinking that we have to improve our family's conditions before we can get married. It would be hard to wrong the girl."

Aunt Peng just wants to cover up the matter under the name Hahaha, but she can't let Ming's mother get entangled in this matter anymore.

Ming's mother smiled in understanding and did not press any further.

In her opinion, Peng Hao is indeed a good young man, but his family members are average.

If the person in front of me were Mingxiu's mother-in-law, she would definitely be difficult to get along with.

The marriage of children is not just as simple as looking at the offspring.

We arrived in the capital talking and laughing.

The urban management in the capital city is very different from that in the border towns. Mingxiu first chose the location and then paid the management tax, so they could set up a stall here.

There is a dedicated person responsible for taking care of the hygiene here, and there are also government officials patrolling around to ensure that there are no gangsters.

Initially, Mingxiu thought the management fee was a bit high, but after seeing the benefits, she felt much more comfortable.

After the stove is turned on, the delicious aroma of Malatang wafts out.

It was still early at this time, and it was not yet time for lunch. Mingxiu was not in a hurry, so he threw in some things that could withstand cooking first, and waited for the rest of the fresh vegetables to be cooked when guests came.

Originally, Mingxiu thought that there would be customers at least near the lunch spot, right?

But what I didn't expect was that after the stall was set up, people started to come up and ask questions.

"What is this?"

"This is called Malatang, we make it at home."

"How to sell it?"

"Meat dishes cost three cents per skewer, and vegetarian dishes cost one penny per skewer."

This price has been discussed between Mingxiu and Mingmu a long time ago. Although there is not much profit after removing the pot, this thing is about small profits but quick turnover.

Many people asked, but no one came forward to buy.

Neither Mingxiu nor Ming's mother was in a hurry, but Aunt Peng was a little anxious.

If their business is not doing well, what will happen to her job?

If the mother and daughter can handle it themselves, do they still need help?

Even if it's for herself, Aunt Peng still wants the business to get better.

"Try it, it's delicious."

Although she had never eaten this food, she felt it was very delicious when she smelled it.

Still no guests stayed.

Mingxiu motioned to her to calm down.

"You must be hungry when you come out early in the morning. Why don't we eat something first?"

Aunt Peng also wanted to taste what this new thing was like, but she was hesitant.

She came to help sell things, but before the business even opened, she started eating by herself. Is that okay?

Seeing Aunt Peng's worry at a glance, Mingxiu smiled kindly and said, "It won't be included in your wages."

Only then did she eat confidently and boldly.

Although he looks bold and bold, he is still quite measured.

After just a brief taste, I put down my chopsticks.

“It’s just cooked like this and it tastes so delicious?!”

Aunt Peng was very surprised. At this time, not many people even knew about chili peppers, and naturally not many people had tasted the delicious taste.

Although there are also ways to eat hot pot at this time, most of them are clear soup.

The rich and spicy red soup base, even though Malatang is different from hot pot, is still very delicious.

"That's the key, the soup in the pot." Mingxiu pursed her lips and smiled. The small chili peppers found on the hillside of Tubao Village had been screened several times and the taste was somewhat similar to those of later generations. It was a pity that it was too late.

The days are still short, and Mingxiu cannot cultivate the spiciness that makes people want to stop.

But this taste is exciting enough for ancient people who rarely eat spicy food.

Aunt Peng nodded. She really wanted to know how the soup base was made, but her reason still made her hold back her words.

Everyone has already said this, so it is naturally her family's secret recipe. If someone asks her to hand over her recipe for braised pork for no reason, Aunt Peng will naturally be unwilling to do so.

The conversation between several people not only attracted customers, but also attracted the attention of the surrounding vendors.

There were many people selling snacks at this time, and snacks from all over the capital could be found.

But Mingxiu’s family is the only one who can make something unique.

"Bring me two skewers of meat."

Although people in the capital are living a pretty good life, money cannot be squandered carelessly.

Taste it first to see if it tastes good.

After all, he was his first guest, so Mingxiu treated him very carefully.

Not only did he prepare the food he wanted, but he also gave him a bunch of vegetarian dishes as a friendly gift.

The taste of Malatang can stand the test. After trying it, the customer quickly asked for a lot, saying that he wanted to take it home and give it to his family to try.

Once you open one, the rest will be easy to handle.

The ingredients were consumed very quickly, and eventually all the ingredients were sold out before lunch was over, leaving nothing to sell.

Several people decided to close the stall and go back, and many customers told them to prepare more ingredients tomorrow.

Originally, Mingxiu was prepared to fight until night, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

"It's a pity that our vegetable plot hasn't harvested yet."

The land has just been cleared and fertilized but the seeds have not been planted yet. Otherwise, the cost could be lower if we use our own vegetables.

"Don't worry."

They have to set up a stall for a long time until they have earned enough money to open a food shop before they can make any other plans. During this time, their vegetable plot will definitely be harvested.

But Ming's mother's words reminded Mingxiu that it would be too late to buy meat in the city every day.
