Chapter 275: The Storm in the Village

After that, business became even more prosperous. Ye Lulu kept cooking the Malatang. She did not stop until the sky darkened in the afternoon. All the ingredients had been sold out.

There were still three babies at home, so Ye Lulu did not wait any longer. She put away the stall and, like Mother Rong, spent money to place the wooden cart at the carriage station. Then, she rushed back to the mountain.

That’s right. She did not wait for Mother Rong to return. When she reached home, Father Guan looked at her in surprise and asked, “You didn’t manage to sell it?”

“They’re all sold out,” Guan Chixi replied. Ye Lulu quickly went into the house to see the three babies.

“You’re back?” Old Aunt Xu was in the house, watching over the babies. When she saw Ye Lulu enter, she looked up and asked her.

Ye Lulu nodded. “It’s sold out today. I had to trouble you to take care of the babies for me. I’ll give you Xu Huang’s salary now. For the first month, the salary will be distributed daily.”

She was taking care of Old Aunt Xu and Xu Huang. This was because they were most cash-strapped now. She should pay their wages daily so that they could have money in time.

Old Aunt Xu let out a cry and said in fear, “This… this isn’t good…? Or should it be distributed monthly? You can choose not to as well…”

After all, she and Xiao Huang were already relying on the Guan family to eat and drink.

“It’s alright. Let’s do daily…” Ye Lulu waved her hand and took out thirty copper coins to give to Xu Huang, who had followed her in.

Xu Huang and Old Aunt Xu were stunned.

“This… this is too much…”

Ye Lulu said, “It won’t be this much every day. Let me calculate. Xu Huang’s salary is twenty copper coins a day. Today—it’s because of special circumstances.” She looked at Xu Huang and said, “Old Aunt can ask Xiao Huang. He knows today is special, so there’s an additional bonus.”

Although Xu Huang and Old Aunt Xu didn’t know what ‘bonus’ was, Xu Huang’s salary was really beyond their expectations. Even an adult man would only earn ten copper coins a day working at the docks…

Ye Lulu was in a hurry to be intimate with the babies. When Xu Huang saw how she was earning money today, he didn’t say anything else. He silently received his salary and swore to work hard for Ye Lulu in the future. Then, he went out with Old Aunt Xu and went home to prepare dinner.

After Old Aunt Xu and the rest left, Ye Lulu rushed forward and picked up the three babies.

As soon as they saw her return, the three babies waved their hands and feet vigorously. Their reactions were especially big and they even started to cry loudly. Their voices were especially loud!

It was obvious that they missed Ye Lulu. The babies had never been apart from Ye Lulu for so long. No matter how extraordinary they were, they were still babies.

“My babies, were you obedient today?!”

Ye Lulu also missed the babies to death. The moment she saw them, she almost cried. She ran over and casually picked up the eldest son. She hugged the soft body tightly.

The eldest son opened his beautiful eyes. As he was hugged by Ye Lulu, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, “Mother.”

It was shouted very clearly!

It seemed that the eldest son missed her! Ye Lulu’s heart melted. She hugged the eldest son and lowered her head to kiss him a few times. Then, she carried another baby. The second son could not wait anymore. He opened his little hands and rushed into Ye Lulu’s arms. He shouted, “Ma-ther! Mother!”

Ye Lulu hugged her second son and kissed him a few times as well. Her second son kept hugging her and did not let go. After she was done with her second son, Ye Lulu picked up her youngest son as well.

The youngest son glanced at her with his glass-like eyes.

He did not make a sound. He turned his head and leaned his face against her shoulder weakly.

However, Ye Lulu had heard her youngest son making muffled sounds when he saw her enter the house.

Ye Lulu also lowered her head and kissed her youngest son a few times. She even hugged him and walked around the house.

After being intimate with the three babies, Ye Lulu was a little hungry.

Since Mother Rong and the rest were not back yet, she would have to prepare dinner first tonight. What should they eat? The ingredients she had brought out had all been sold. Ye Lulu carried her youngest son out and carried the second son on her back. The remaining eldest son was carried by Guan Chibei.

After walking out of the courtyard, Ye Lulu walked around a few times. At this moment, Guan Chixi walked over and asked her a question carefully, “When did our family have a shop?”

“Not yet,” Ye Lulu said.

“?” Guan Chixi asked, “Then why did you say that you wanted to open a new shop today?”

“Yes,” Ye Lulu said. “It was decided immediately.”

Guan Chixi slowly said, “You’re saying that this was what you decided at that time?” Guan Chixi revealed an incomprehensible expression as the corners of his lips twitched uncontrollably.”

Ye Lulu nodded happily. “Yes, why?”

Why…

Guan Chixi looked at her in disbelief and held his chest.

Nothing. It was too… too exciting…

In fact, Ye Lulu had really decided to open a shop at that moment. This was definitely the last step.

She had originally planned to set up a stall to earn money for a while and familiarize herself with the market situation at this stage. However, she did not expect to welcome a big customer today.

That noble madam had given her ten taels of gold to buy the Malatang recipe and other silver. This money was enough to buy a shop!

Therefore, she had reached the heavens in a single step. At that time, she calculated the money and felt that she could really buy a shop. Therefore, with a thought, she decided to open a shop.

It was decided in a second.

Mother Rong and the rest only returned when the sky was completely dark. As soon as they entered the house, they said, “After we closed the stall, we even went to look for you guys. We thought that you were still selling. We didn’t find you before learning that you had long returned. Business was so well today?”

Eldest Brother Guan said calmly, “We sold well today. When I was serving porridge, I heard someone say that there was a Malatang stall by the river.”

“We’ve been to your stall,” Ye Lulu said. “We wanted to see you too but when we left, there were too many people in front of the stall. We didn’t manage to squeeze in and left.”

Mother Rong beamed with joy. “That’s true. There were really too many customers today! On the first day of opening the market, there were so many people who came! Some people had bought our family’s food before it snowed. They waited for a winter and had said that they would come and buy it immediately after the voyages start. They said that they had been waiting for our family for a long time!”

Mother Rong had already set up her stall steadily, so she brought more ingredients.
