The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 117 Making trouble

When Ye Xinran walked out of the room.

Xiao Huaian was making a fire in the kitchen.

He held a ladle of washed rice in his hand and wanted to put it into the pot, but seemed to be hesitating.

"what happened?"

Ye Xinran asked.

Xiao Huaian was a little embarrassed, "I was wondering how much water would be appropriate."

"Let me do it."

Ye Xinran knew that Xiao Huaian was not good at this, so she reached out to take the ladle from his hand.

Xiao Huaian didn't let go, but said: "How about you teach me? Now you are busy with all the housework, I feel like a gigolo."

In the past, he felt that he had given money to Ye Xinran.

He is at least the financial support of the family.

But now, Ye Xinran can earn hundreds of taels of silver a day, and his little money is nothing at all.

He has to take the initiative.

"You want to learn how to cook? That's fine. Then you won't have any food to eat when I don't have time in the future."

Ye Xinran still took the ladle from Xiao Huaian's hand, scooped out all the water in the pot, added a little water again, and put the rice in.

"Measure it with your hand. Remember the height of your finger in the rice. Use this height to measure the water. As long as the height of the water and the rice is the same, it will be fine."

Oh I see.

Xiao Huaian put his finger in according to Ye Xinran's instructions.

There was less water, so he added a little more.

There was more water, so he scooped out some more.

Only when the water and the rice were at the same level did he stand up and ask Ye Xinran, "What next?"

"Then put the lid on the pot. Remember not to make the fire too strong. After the water boils for a while, take out the firewood and let the fire die down."

"Ok."

Xiao Huaian is full of confidence.

It turns out cooking is so simple.

Why didn't anyone tell him in such detail before?

The rice was already in the pot, so Ye Xinran decided to take it one step further and ask Xiao Huaian to cook the dinner as well.

"You rarely cook, so don't make it too complicated this time. Let's just make scrambled eggs with tomatoes and some potato chips."

"Okay, then you teach me."

Xiao Huaian humbly asked for advice.

He did it step by step according to Ye Xinran's instructions.

Ye Xinran was watching from the side.

“You don’t need to put so much oil!”

"Put a little more sugar in it."

"Stir fry quickly, or it will get mushy."

After the meal, Ye Xinran felt a hundred times more nervous than when she cooked for herself.

The scene was a mess, but fortunately both dishes were cooked safely.

“It seems a bit difficult.”

Xiao Huaian reached out and picked up an egg with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, "But it tastes good!"

He picked up another piece of food with chopsticks and gave it to Ye Xinran.

Ye Xinran also tasted it and said, "It's really good."

Dinner is served.

The three children picked up their bowls and started eating as usual.

However, after taking the first bite of the dish, the three of them looked at each other at the same time and nodded in tacit understanding.

"what happened?"

Xiao Huaian looked at the three of them nervously.

"Nothing!" Changsheng tried to cover up.

Changping has already said it:

"Today's dishes seem a little salty. But they are still delicious."

He added another sentence.

"I think it's delicious too. Today's dish was made by your second uncle himself!"

Ye Xinran took a bite and said.

"Second uncle?"

The three little ones looked at the food on the table in disbelief.

Is this really done by my second uncle?

Not mushy! Cooked! And tastes good!

"This is what your aunt taught me!"

This was the first time Xiao Huaian was so nervous in front of three children.

It seems like a student who is about to be tested.

“Although it’s not as delicious as what my aunt made, it tastes really good!”

Changan took a big bite.

"Second Uncle is really awesome!" Changsheng also echoed the praise.

When he arrived at Changping, he said in a serious tone: "Although my second uncle is very good, the best one is my aunt. Have you all forgotten how my second uncle cooked before?

To get my second uncle to cook the dish like this, my aunt must have put in a lot of effort.

So the most powerful one is my aunt!"

Changping rarely said such sensible words, and the two brothers agreed with him.

A meal is still eaten cleanly.

Xiao Huaian never thought that he would find satisfaction from this kind of thing.

I don’t know if it’s because I stayed in the mountains for too long.

Maybe it's time to get in touch with the outside world.

……

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye.

During these ten days, Ye Xinran sent a total of 200 cans of Snow Face Cream to Yongletang.

These ointments were quickly sold out.

The purchasing power of Yuntong County is limited, so so many ointments must have been stored by someone.

Or, it was sold somewhere else.

Ye Xinran thought.

Things seem to be getting more interesting.

On the other hand, because there was a letter from the capital asking about the prescription, Manager Cai decided not to wait any longer and planned to take action in advance.

On this day, Yongle Hall had just opened for business and there were not many customers yet when two women suddenly came.

The women covered their cheeks with black veils and said they were looking for the shopkeeper when they entered the door.

"You're looking for me? Have you two been to our Yongle Hall before?"

Li Qiao looked at the two women, and no matter how he looked at them, they didn't look like people he knew.

"Are you the owner of this clinic? You don't know us, but you must know this!"

A woman held out two red jars.

Li Qiao is most familiar with this jar, it is the jar of Snow Face Cream.

"This is the best Snow Face Cream we sell in our store right now. Would you like to buy it?"

Li Qiao asked enthusiastically.

"Still buying it? Do you know how badly this ointment of yours has harmed us?"

The taller woman slammed the can on the counter.

"Harm you? Impossible! You two can follow me to the inner hall and tell me the situation in detail."

Li Qiao thought to himself that this was not good, and that someone might have come to cause trouble.

While he led the two women to the back hall, he gestured to the waiter in the store, asking them to go to the backyard to find the owner.

It was obvious that the two women came prepared, and he was probably not able to handle them alone.

The woman saw that Li Qiao was a little scared, so she became bolder.

"We are all women, how can we follow the shopkeeper to the inner hall? Anyway, there are not many customers in the store now, so let's talk here."

She heard every word clearly, and the people who came to the store to buy medicine immediately realized what had happened.

Everyone pricked up their ears and listened.

Those who were curious would even run out quickly and call their family members to come over to watch the fun.

"say what?"

Seeing that they were not leaving, Li Qiao had no choice but to ask.

"Boss, let me ask you a question.

We believed what your store said and spent a lot of money to buy your ointment.

But now, not only did you fail to heal the scar on your face, but you ruined it. How are you going to compensate us?"
