Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 457 Confidence

Meng Xiuer listened to what An Yue said and had no idea what An Yue was up to.

She looked back at An Yue, smiled and said without hesitation: "Of course I will hear the good news first."

"The good news is that Nian Nian has passed the provincial examination."

After hearing this, she widened her eyes in surprise and asked, "What? Are you saying... this time the provincial examination was passed every year?"

An Yue also smiled and nodded.

Meng Xiuer quickly put the feeding ladle in her hand into the empty bucket and said excitedly: "Very good, very good, Nian Nian is really great."

At this time, the eldest aunt Zhang came towards the two aunts and sisters-in-law, teasing Xiaobao and saying, "That's right! Our An family finally has a real scholar!"

"In the future, it would be great if our Xiaobao could be as good as his uncle Nian Nian." The aunt said, smiling as she reached out to hug Xiaobao.

Meng Xiuer walked up to An Yue carrying a wooden bucket, "Mom, don't worry! With his uncle Nian Nian as a role model, Xiaobao will definitely not be too bad."

The aunt held Xiaobao in her arms and walked towards the eaves while asking Xiaobao: "Okay, okay, Xiaobao, are you good at home today?"

Meng Xiuer put the wooden barrel in the kitchen, came out to clean it, and suddenly remembered something.

Then he asked, "Oh, by the way, Yueyue, you just said there is another piece of bad news, what is it?"

An Yue sat in front of her aunt, teasing Xiao Bao while saying, "The bad news is that we went to the restaurant to order a big meal to celebrate passing the Nian Nian Palace Examination, and you were at home and couldn't go with us."

"Oh! I thought it was nothing! This is not bad news. I can't go out with Xiaobao, so I can just cook some food at home."

The eldest aunt smiled and softly interrupted, "Haha, this girl hasn't forgotten you and Xiaobao. Before we even started eating, she was already clamoring to pack it up for you first."

An Yue stood up, walked over and took her sister-in-law Meng Xiuer to the eight-immortals table in the main hall, and opened the food box to show Meng Xiuer.

She said, "I don't know what dishes my sister-in-law likes to eat, so I picked a little bit of each dish and put it in the food box."

"I like it, I like it very much. As long as Yueyue cares about us, I will like it even if it is sorghum brown rice."

"Then sister-in-law, please eat quickly! It's still warm now."

As An Yue spoke, she took out all the food from the food box and placed it on the table.

Meng Xiuer looked at the dishes on the table and was deeply moved.

She held Anyue's hand and said, "Yueyue, it is my blessing to have a sister-in-law like you."

An Yue smiled and waved her hands, saying, "What are you talking about, sister-in-law? We are a family, and we should take care of each other."

At this time, Xiaobao watched his mother preparing to eat, and made "ya ya ya" sounds with his mouth, as if he wanted to find his mother.

Aunt Zhang carried Xiaobao to the table, and Xiaobao raised his hands and smiled at his mother.

Sister-in-law Meng Xiuer picked up some soft dishes and put them into Xiaobao's mouth, saying lovingly, "Little greedy man."

As she said this, she took Xiaobao from her mother-in-law.

The mother and son sat on a bench, enjoying the delicious food that An Yue had specially packed back.

Time passed by, and night fell quietly.

......

The next day.

After the family had breakfast.

An Yue said to Chun Zhi, "Chun Zhi, you go to the shop to collect money and do the accounts today. I won't go."

Chunzhi tilted her head and asked curiously, "Okay, Miss. But you are staying at home today to catch some piglets?"

An Yue shook her head: "I want to stay at home and study cakes, and then I want to discuss something with the village chief."

"Well, okay, let's set off now." Chunzhi said, and walked out of the yard gate with Daniu and the others.

After they set out for town, An Yue began to prepare to make the cake.

She walked towards the kitchen and said to Meng Xiuer who was washing dishes, "Sister-in-law, are there any sweet potatoes left from breakfast?"

"Yes, yes, Yueyue, are you going to make cake again?" Meng Xiuer said, handing the remaining sweet potatoes to An Yue.

An Yue took the porcelain bowl of sweet potatoes and said, "Yes! I want to open another pastry shop, so I have to do some research."

"You spend all day thinking about how to make money. Our life is already very good now, why do you have to work so hard every month?"

"Nowadays, our family is indeed much better off than before, but who would complain about having too much money?"

"Sister-in-law, don't forget that passing the provincial examination every year means more places to spend money in the future."

"Yes, yes, Yueyue is right. Buying books, paper, pens, ink, and tuition will cost more money as time goes by."

"When we sent Nian Nian to school, his teacher said that Nian Nian is a rare talent that can be cultivated. If conditions permit, let us send him to the school in the county town."

As An Yue spoke, she peeled the skin of the cooked sweet potatoes and mashed them into fine sweet potato puree with the end of a rolling pin.

"Then according to what Yueyue said, we have to live in the county town every year from now on?"

"Yes! So I thought about opening another pastry shop in the town to try. If everything goes well, I will open a spicy hot pot shop and a pastry shop in the county town in the future."

Meng Xiuer nodded and said, "Well, the old saying is right, 'People go to high places, and water flows to low places.'"

"Niannian is a good kid in our family. At such a young age, he has come this far step by step with his own abilities. It is extremely difficult."

"Our family members can't hold us back. I support your idea, Yueyue."

Just then, a few loud cries came from the east ear room. It was Xiaobao who woke up and looked for his mother.

Sister-in-law Meng Xiuer rushed to the east ear room.

An Yue was alone in the kitchen, cracking eggs one by one and separating the yolks and egg whites one by one.

First, pour homemade low-gluten flour and a small amount of oil into a small ceramic bowl with egg yolks, then add the mashed and filtered sweet potato pulp.

Finally, after mixing all the ingredients evenly, cover with a lid and set aside.

Then start adding sugar to the egg whites, take out the egg white beating tool, and start beating the egg whites.

......

An hour later, the cake was ready.

An Yue cut a portion and put it on a plate, tasting it lightly.

The appearance is soft and fluffy, and the taste is sweet but not greasy.

An Yue took another bite and was confident in the pastry she had carefully made.

Now that I have completely mastered the skills of making cakes, I am just waiting for the pastry shop to be sorted out, and then I can launch cakes and rice cakes for trial operation.

Just then, someone knocked on the door outside the yard.

An Yue put down the plate in her hand and ran to open the door.

"Is Yueyue at home?"

As soon as An Yue heard the voice, she knew it was the village chief's wife, Qin.

An Yue opened the door and responded, "Aunt, I'm home."

Qin said with a smile: "Hey, I finally caught you at home today!"
