"Hey, I'll go right away." Mother Su wiped the tears from her eyes, "Are you craving for meat? How about I fry you a bowl of soy sauce meat?"

"Okay." Su Ziling supported Grandma Su and took the time to reply, "Don't you have a bowl of broccoli? I'll fry a bowl for everyone."

"Okay! I'll go get the mushrooms." Hearing her words, Father Su stood up and took a basin to hold the mushrooms.

"Look at your father, he is quite enthusiastic when it comes to eating." Looking at his back, Grandma Su couldn't help but said with a smile.

"It's the first batch of mushrooms, just for the sake of freshness." Looking at the black soy sauce meat hanging on the fire pit, Su Ziling looked at Su's mother, "You didn't eat any of it?"

"I've eaten it, tried it a few times, and I eat pickles every day. I have to buy fresh meat from time to time. I'll keep as much bacon as possible. And it's only April. Who told you to eat bacon in April?"

Su's mother cut a piece of meat and washed it. Wang Anan took the wild onions placed at the foot of the wall and said, "Pick some wild onions here. The wild onions fried with soy sauce and meat are very fragrant."

Su Zizhong didn't let her choose, "Just sit still, I'll do it."

Last year, we slaughtered two pigs and had a lot of meat. The ham was hung up, and the belly meat and pork belly were soaked in soy sauce.

Add salt to the soy sauce, add a little water, then add chopped onions, garlic and chopped turnips. After the soy sauce is ready, put the meat directly into the bucket to soak it.

Marinate for about three days and then hang the meat. At this time, the meat will be completely colored and no longer have any fishy smell. It will exude a fragrance from the inside out.

The meat soaked in this way tastes much more delicious than bacon, with the right amount of saltiness and a hint of soy sauce. It is very fragrant when used to stir-fry peppers, garlic sprouts, and wild onions, or it can be simply boiled and not be greasy.

Father Su came back very quickly. He picked the small mushroom buds with plump white flesh. It must be said that when it comes to eating, no one can catch up with him.

Su's father peeled the roots and washed them before sitting back down. Su's mother quickly finished frying the vegetables and prepared all the ingredients for stir-frying. Su Ziling was then responsible for frying them.

After the two dishes were served, everyone started eating again.

Mother Su placed the mushrooms in front of Su Ziling and reminded Wang Anan, "Xiao An, don't eat these mushrooms. Eat the porcini or chicken mushrooms instead. Don't eat the green mushrooms. Wait until you give birth."

"Don't worry, Auntie. I know what's going on."

"Mother, stop busying yourself and sit down to eat, otherwise the food will get cold." Su Ziling pulled the stool out a little and called Su's mother.

"Here it comes," Su's mother wiped the water from her hands and picked up the bowl before asking, "What good thing did you just talk about?"

"I went on patrol and visited many villages. I happened to visit a village a few days ago and picked up a bunch of chicken mushrooms on their stalks. They said that there were a lot of chicken mushrooms there, in large patches."

"I'm thinking of building a few workshops there so that we can harvest mushrooms from the surrounding villages together."

"There are also restaurants in the county. Business is booming. There is no room for everyone. Every day, many people cannot eat because there are no seats. Even though there are only a few people every day, we have lost a lot of customers in this month."

"Plus, mushrooms are about to be released one after another. When fresh mushroom hotpot is available, there will be even more customers. So I asked someone to help ask for the restaurant opposite to be bought. Then, it will be used to sell mushroom hotpot and rice bowls."

After Su Ziling finished speaking, she found that no one was too surprised. When she first started speaking, everyone stopped and listened carefully. When they heard that it was about building a restaurant and a workshop, they decided to eat and drink.

Su Ziling blinked, "Grandpa?"

"Grandma?"

"Father? Mother?"

"Big brother..."

"Okay, are you planning to call everyone? Eat quickly, aren't you hungry? Eat quickly and talk after you're done." Su Zizhong interrupted her with a smile.

Perhaps because he was about to become a father, his facial expression softened a lot.

"No, why don't you tell me what you think? If you guys don't say anything, how can I eat this meal?"

"You silly girl, don't you understand this?" Su's mother nodded her head gently.

Su Ziling curled her lips, "Mother, as the saying goes, thunder doesn't strike people who are eating, why did you do that?"

"I'm telling you seriously, this restaurant is a bit big, it probably won't be cheap to buy it, and there's also a workshop, although it won't cost much, but we'll need to buy things later."

"It is also a big expense to hire villagers. In addition, I plan to build one in each county first, and then consider expanding it if the amount of mushrooms is large."

Mr. Su suddenly asked, "Who do you plan to let manage it?"

"Ah?" Su Ziling was stunned.

Mr. Su added, "Even if a new workshop is opened, you definitely can't run it alone, and you don't trust others to take care of it. You should find someone of your own to take care of it, right?"

Su Ziling nodded, "Yes, let's build three for now. I want my second uncle and his wife to look after one of them. Aunt Liu has been working in the mushroom workshop for two years. She knows the procedures well. It's best to let them look after it. But we still need to teach them how to keep accounts."

"I plan to let Uncle Yonghe take the other position. He has been in charge of the sweet potato workshop for two years and has enough experience. I still need to think about the other candidates."

Hearing her arrangement was quite reasonable, Grandpa Su had nothing to say. Grandma Su looked at her and said, "You took Yonghe away, what about the workshop at home?"

"I plan to let Uncle Yongning take over. He's quite clever. I think it will take about a while for Uncle Yongning to help take care of the food."

"And Ah He," she was stunned when she mentioned Ji Yun He, "I thought about letting her go there to be the shopkeeper after the restaurant opens. Brother and sister-in-law may have to trouble the valley. Sister-in-law is not in good health now, so brother has to take care of it alone. From now on, you two will take care of that place."

"Will it be unsafe for Ah He to be alone? She's a girl and I'm afraid someone might cause trouble." Grandma Su was very thoughtful.

"I thought about this, so I was a little hesitant."

The same goes for Liu Guilan and the others. The couple has no means of self-protection, and she is worried about letting them go so far away.

If a conflict arises and the people in the village join in to force the emperor to abdicate, the two of them will really be helpless.

Just when everyone was thinking about the problem, Twenty spoke up, "Well,"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he smiled and said, "I have a suggestion. If it's not suitable, just listen to it."

"Hurry up and tell me, why are you keeping me in suspense?" Su Zizhong glanced at him.

Twenty cleared his throat, "As everyone knows, our Great Zhou adopts a universal conscription system, and the service age is between twenty-three and fifty-six."

"So many veterans and wounded soldiers have retired and returned to their hometowns to retire. After so many years in the military camp, they have some physical problems, but their skills are no problem. I thought, if you need people with martial arts skills, you don't have to hire those people. It's actually the same if you hire them."

"Besides, their wages are much cheaper, and they also provide two meals a day, whether they are provided or not, and they just need a place to live."

After he finished speaking, seeing that no one responded, he smiled awkwardly and said with a laugh: "Well, I just said it casually. If it doesn't work, then just treat it as..." I didn't say that

"Okay! Why not!" Su Ziling put the bowl on the table with a "pa" and his face turned red with excitement.

"Wages are not a problem. The main problem is that it's hard to find people. So, you can ask around. No matter if you are old or injured, anyone who is willing to come here is welcome."
