Chapter 7 Charter
Seeing the glittering silver hairpin, the three wives' eyes turned red.
Yu Chaosheng felt proud and took out three small cloth bags.
"This is what Yingying asked me to bring to my three sisters-in-law. Thank you for taking care of my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Zhang, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Pan family, said, "How can this be so embarrassing? This is what we should do."
Having said that, his hands moved very skillfully.
When she opened the cloth bag, Zhang exclaimed in surprise. Inside was a pair of leaf-shaped silver earrings.
The second daughter-in-law, Liu, opened her cloth bag and also gasped.
Her maiden name is Juhua, and my younger sister actually gave her a pair of silver earrings in the shape of chrysanthemums, which shows that she put a lot of thought into it.
The third daughter-in-law, Xiao Zhao, also received a pair of plum blossom-shaped silver earrings.
Zhang quickly stood up and said, "Brother-in-law, you came here so early. I guess you haven't eaten yet. Please sit down. I'll serve you some food."
Pan Dajin gritted his teeth in anger. His wife had never served him a meal! But he couldn't afford the silver earrings, so he had to hold it in.
"No need, sister-in-law. I have to rush back to cook for our Yingying. I won't keep any more. You guys can enjoy your meal."
After Yu Chaosheng finished speaking, he ran away without waiting for the Pan family to try to stop him.
Pan Dayin complained in a low voice, "This kid!" He turned around and saw his family members gathering over to look at the pile of things, so he hurried over too.
In addition to the two pieces of cloth, there was also a piece of pork, two dried chickens, a dozen packages of various snacks, shoes of Pan Dajin, Pan Dayin and Pan Datie, and old man Pan’s pipe, which was even carved with flowers!
Mrs. Zhao couldn't stop smiling. Today her daughter and son-in-law brought honor to her and her old man at home.
Soon she would go out wearing the silver hairpin, to see which gossipy woman dared to say that her daughter had not married well!
When Yu Chaosheng returned to the yard, Pan Yingying had not yet woken up, so he simply took off his shoes and climbed into bed to sleep.
Having money and free time, life is really great!
He doesn't have to be lectured by the old man all day long. Anyway, he has two capable brothers. When he comes here, the old man may be secretly happy in his heart, because finally no one in the family will cause trouble.
After thinking about a lot of random things, Yu Chaosheng fell asleep in a daze.
Pan Yingying was awakened by the sound of a tractor in a daze. She thought she had returned to modern times, but when she opened her eyes, she saw the same tattered mosquito net.
She sighed and glared at the culprit outside the "38th parallel" separated by a quilt.
Yu Chaosheng looks like a decent guy, but he snores like a tractor. She hasn't slept well in the past few nights.
Thinking of this, she stretched out her leg and wanted to kick him, but remembering that this guy had stayed up all night last night, she felt guilty and put her leg down.
Such a cute guy when he was young, but he became so hateful when he grew up, bah!
Pan Yingying waved her fist half a meter away from his head and turned over and got out of bed.
She still has business to do today.
There must always be a job at home that is visible. She wants to buy a carriage, but she cannot do without a legitimate income. After thinking for a long time last night, Pan Yingying decided to set up a stall at the dock to sell things.
After getting up and packing, she searched the mall for a long time and finally found the marinade and its recipe.
A pack of marinade costs one tael of silver, but the recipe for the marinade costs one hundred taels of silver. Pan Yingying hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't bear to spend the money, so she simply bought five packs of the prepared marinade.
The next step is to follow the instructions step by step to learn how to make braised food. Pan Yingying bought a whole pig in the mall and braised the pig's head and two strips of fat and lean meat.
Yu Chaosheng was probably born in the year of the dog. He came here when he smelled the smell and was still rubbing his eyes when he reached the kitchen.
"What are you cooking? It smells so good!" He walked to the stove and sat down to watch the fire.
Pan Yingying was satisfied with his insight and poked the pork in the pot with chopsticks. Just then the alarm clock rang, so she took out a piece of meat and cut off a slice for him to try.
The thin slice of braised meat exuded a rich aroma. Yu Chaosheng didn't care about the heat. He raised his head and opened his mouth wide, motioning Pan Yingying to let him eat it.
Pan Yingying rolled her eyes at him, blew on the meat until it was a little cooler before stuffing it into his mouth.
"How does it taste?" She was a little nervous. This was her first time cooking seriously. Where would she have the time before?
She spent all her time cleaning up the mess made by this second-generation rich guy!
The braised meat was very tasty and not greasy. Yu Chaosheng excitedly gave a thumbs up and praised it generously, "It's amazing!"
After getting his affirmation and waiting for a while, Pan Yingying felt relieved to see that he was looking at her eagerly and wanted another piece. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with the braised meat. She then cut a piece for herself to taste, and found that it was delicious as he said.
She fished out the pig's head and put it on the chopping board. She raised her chin towards Chaosheng and said, "Hurry up and get ready for dinner. It's still early, so we can go for a walk in town."
Yu Chaosheng received the order and immediately started to set the table, but he regretted that there was no wine because the woman would not let him drink.
The two of them had a very satisfying meal of braised pork head, pickled mustard and white rice.
After dinner, they put their things into the space, changed into their best clothes, and tried to fix their hair in front of the mirror. Then they went out carrying the basket.
Yujia Village is not far from the town, but it takes one and a half hours to walk there, or three hours.
Pan Yingying looked at her matchstick-like legs, took out a string of copper coins from her purse and handed them to Yu Chaosheng, "Go to the village and hire an ox cart."
Yu Chaosheng shook his head and returned to his old, second-generation rich dog look, "You don't need to pay for this little money, brother will treat you!"
Pan Yingying took back the copper coin and bowed to Yu Chaosheng in a strange way, imitating the women here, "Thank you very much, Mr. Yu San."
Yu Chaosheng was given goosebumps by her. Whenever this woman called him "Master Yu San", something bad was bound to happen.
When was the last time I called him "Yu Sanye"? Oh, right! He left the company two hours early to go to a nightclub with his friends, and was tricked into stepping on a sewing machine. That time, the old man used family law to almost break his legs!
Fortunately his leg was not broken, but he was unable to get out of bed for a week and was laughed at by his two brothers for half a year!
It’s all this woman’s fault!
He raised his hand and snatched the copper coin that Pan Yingying had just put into her purse, "No more treat! I want to spend all your money!"
Pan Yingying: ???
No, what's wrong with this kid?
He went to the village angrily to hire an ox cart. The driver, Old Man Yu, was probably Yu Chaosheng's cousin. When he heard that Yu Chaosheng and his wife were going to the town, he refused to take any of his copper coins.
Yu Chaosheng never thought that there would be a day when he would not be able to spend his money, so he stuffed the twenty copper coins into the old man Yu's arms without saying a word.
"I'll book this car today! Just follow me!"
Old Man Yu cursed in his heart, "Prodigal Son", but he didn't insist any longer. It only cost him two cents to take someone to the town, but Yu Chaosheng gave him twenty cents at once, which made him a big customer.
