After dinner, Chen Yan ate sapphire grapes while listening with great interest.

Cui Yunzhu started from the very basics and explained the different races, including white people with blond hair and blue eyes, as well as black people with strong limbs and great athletic talent.

They are of the yellow race.

As he said this, Chen Yan held his chin and stared at her intently, and even poked her fair face with his fingers.

"Wife, I don't think you are yellow!"

There was a "pop".

The finger he stretched out was gently slapped away by her. She suppressed her laughter and said, "Don't you even look at yourself!"

Chen Yan looked down at his own tan skin, and as soon as he looked up at his wife's face, they both started laughing.

Haha, he is really dark compared to my wife, but he is not black...

It's really ridiculous to ask yourself this question.

"You've never seen a blond-haired, blue-eyed white person. She's so pretty, and her facial features are very three-dimensional."

Cui Yunzhu said seriously.

“Like the people from the North?”

"Girls in the north also have thick eyebrows, big eyes, and high nose bridges."

When Cui Yunzhu heard this, the grapes in her mouth suddenly tasted wrong. "Why, have you seen the girl from the north? You can't forget her like that!"

Chen Yan hurriedly explained, "No, no, I heard it from Erzhuzi."

"Didn't his sister marry and move to the north? Sometimes she would mention it in her letters..."

Not wanting to talk seriously, Cui Yunzhu began to make up stories about foreigners for him.

It's not really nonsense, it's just like telling a fairy tale to this adult baby.

She only picked up some dark fairy tales for him to read. The more Chen Yan listened, the deeper his frown deepened. Why were foreigners so weird?

Later, when we talked about serious fairy tales, I finally heard something that I could accept.

It's another story about a vicious stepmother persecuting a beautiful princess, and then the prince coming to rescue her.

Since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, which princess did not choose her husband with pride?

Oh, the foreign princess is so frustrated!

As Cui Yunzhu told more and more stories, he slowly realized that something was wrong. How could foreigners be as tall as a house?

Can it be only as short as a bench?

How can these two people, one tall and one short, coexist at the same time?

What if they cross the so-called ocean and come here step by step?

Only after hearing what happened did I realize that I had been fooled.

He didn't want to spoil the fun and continued to listen happily to his wife's nonsense.

In short, this morning, Cui Yunzhu used these messy fairy tales and some basic knowledge to greatly shock Chen Yan's worldview!

.........

Also early this morning, Yunji's shop assistants started shouting loudly outside the shop.

"Yun Ji's new peanut candy!"

"Dear guests, don't miss it if you pass by. The peanut candy is cheaper than rice cakes!"

“Delicious and crunchy peanut candy!”

Several women passed by with their baskets, and one of them said disapprovingly, "Tsk! They're selling it so cheaply, there must be only peanuts and no candy."

The waiter disagreed and said, "Sir, come in and try it. If it's not sweet, you don't have to pay."

"Our shopkeeper said this is a new product trial, everyone can try it."

When we heard that we could try the food, we immediately became interested. You held my arm and I pushed you, and we went into Yunji together.

After coming out, everyone was holding a large oil paper bag in their hands and talked one after another.

"You know what, this peanut candy is really delicious. I didn't know peanuts could be made like this!"

"That's right. Things grown in the fields can actually be made into such delicious cakes. Why didn't I discover it before?"

"No, I'll go back and do it myself."

Another woman covered her mouth and teased her, "Yun Ji used sugar, would you be willing to use so much sugar?"

"Besides, these peanut candies are not expensive. We can buy some for the children as snacks from time to time, and we adults can enjoy them too."

"Yes!"

It spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

Yunji Peanut Candy became famous for its low price and sweet taste.

........

The same is true for Heshun Restaurant at this time.

Shopkeeper Zhang assigned a waiter to sit by the counter and stir the peanut candy, which made a child drool.

The child's family is well-off. His parents often bring him to Heshun Restaurant for a meal, so he is quite a familiar face.

The child would be full after eating vegetables for a while, but now when he sees sweets, he can't move and says, "Dad, I want to eat that!"

His chubby little hand pointed at the maltose and refused to leave.

His father had no choice but to go up and pay six cents to buy one. The child happily ate it.

Immediately asked for another one!

Shopkeeper Zhang came over and introduced, "Boss Li, this is the new maltose in our store. It's perfect as a snack after dinner!"

"This candy is made of grains, so it's safe to give it to children."

"Not only the children, your wife can also try it."

Since they were all regular customers, Manager Zhang asked his waiter to mix a cigarette for Mrs. Li for free.

When Mrs. Li saw that her son said the dish was delicious, she also became interested.

After she took one and tasted it, she waved her hand and asked Manager Zhang to pack ten for her!

It just so happened that her mother was going to bring her nephews and nieces over today and let the children try the new candies from the restaurant.

Six cents per person was not expensive for their family.

Moreover, this candy tastes solid, has a novel shape, and can save a lot of face.

Boss Li saw how happily the mother and daughter were eating and asked for one to try as well. Then the family of three left the house very satisfied.

After the nephews and nieces from my mother’s side had eaten the candies, they would show off to their familiar playmates that they had eaten such delicious candies.

As a result, the malt sugar from Heshun Restaurant gradually became popular among customers.

If you bring your children to eat, I will buy one or two for them; if you don’t bring your children, you will get a headache because of the children’s yelling, so you will take a few back after dinner.

Sales are booming, so there’s no need to worry about selling.

Shopkeeper Zhang originally thought that Yunji also sold malt sugar that could be mixed and eaten, but when he asked, he found out that they didn’t sell it at all!

Only then did I realize that it was something that Madam Cui and Yun Ji had agreed on!

I couldn't help but feel grateful. This business is not big, but her approach is heartwarming. Shopkeeper Zhang also admires her vision.

.......

In the yard of the new house, Cui Yunzhu and Xiao Zheng were waiting for Chen Yan and Chen Ping to bring the wheat.

The two of them carried nearly 100 kilograms of wheat each along the way and were sweating profusely from exhaustion.

As soon as they entered the door, Cui Yunzhu handed over two towels and asked them to wipe them clean. Just as the two men took a break, they were asked by the wives to wash the newly arrived bamboo sieve.

Although the two did not take a break, they were still full of energy.

Especially Chen Ping, who made so much money in one go. It was not just washing bamboo sieves. Every step forward he took was equivalent to picking up a penny.

"Did Mom ask you?"

Cui Yunzhu asked, afraid that Zheng would find it strange to buy so much wheat.

"My mother asked me about it, but I told her I was going to use it to make something, and she stopped asking."

Chen Yan answered truthfully. His mother actually knew the whole story. His second brother and his family were not at home these days and only came to his place.

Zheng should have figured out what they were doing, but it was just like what he thought at the beginning.

This is a good thing for both sons. She will not interfere too much, nor will she tell others about it.
