Chapter 259 - 259 Rice Noodles
259 Rice Noodles
It was Xue Erfu who picked them.
Xue Yan was still holding Jiang Yue’s hand. She didn’t say anything, and neither did Xue Yan. Wufu just needed an audience to listen, and he was too happy to care if they responded or not. They just listened.
Everything would be fine after Wufu’s excitement died down.
When he got home, he put the piglet in the pig pen, closed the pig pen, and threw some wild vegetables for the piglet to eat before he went to build a cattle shed.
Erfu, Sifu, and Wufu were all back. They didn’t need so many people to help them build a cattle shed. Erfu took Xue Yan’s small bundle of thatched grass. Xue Sifu didn’t lead the cattle anymore. He picked the last thatched grass in the family and went to the village, leaving the cattle to Wufu.
Wufu was extremely excited. He jumped everywhere like a monkey. He jumped right in front of the cow’s head, not afraid that the cow would use its horns to nudge him.
Jiang Yue and Xue Xiao followed beside him. At first, they were a little worried, but after seeing that the cow was not only strong but also very docile. No matter how much Wufu jumped, it didn’t nudge him, so they were not worried anymore.
When they reached the cattle shed, Xue Wufu tied the cattle to a tree and let it eat grass while he went to help with the cattle shed.
The cattle shed was built right next to Tian’s cattle shed, so only two pillars were needed. However, Xue Dafu and the others were afraid that it would not be strong enough, so they built four pillars to make it especially strong.
Xue Dafu and the others were all older than Xue Wufu, so they were more or less experienced with construction. In the end, Xue Wufu, Liu Guixia, Li Hehua, and Xue Dafu handled the thatched grass. Everyone had their own division of labor, and their tacit understanding of their roles was very good.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan just stood aside and watched. If they went over, they might get in the way.
Jiang Yue first looked at Xue Dafu and the others who were building the cattle shed, then at Tian’s cattle shed and the cattle inside. She then looked at the cattle that they had bought today.
The two cattles were very close to each other, so the contrast was even more obvious when they compared the sizes. The cattle that they had bought today were much stronger and taller.
Suddenly, she remembered that Xue Sifu wanted to start a small business and she had an idea. She lowered her voice and said to Xue Yan, “I didn’t hear Xue Sifu mention any businesses today. Xue Sifu must have been busy buying cattles and pigs in town today. He didn’t see what other small businesses he could start.”
“Yes.” Looking at his Xue Sifu, Xue Yan said, “The last time Xue Sifu was eating noodles in town, he seemed to be very interested in the opposite stall. He wanted to do that, but there are already so many noodle sellers in town.”
“There are all kinds of noodles. Even if you can make money by selling noodles, you won’t make much money.”
“Xue Sifu can definitely tell. Perhaps, we can figure out some good noodle recipes that the town doesn’t have.”
He was quite familiar with Xue Sifu’s business routine in his previous life.
Xue Sifu was still the same. It didn’t make sense for him to change his way of doing business in this life.
“The price of the rice flour is reasonable here.” Jiang Yue said indifferently. “But in that case, the taste of the noodles will be different. There are too many types of noodles in the town. If you think about it again, the competition will be too strong. It’s better to make rice noodles.”
Rice noodles?
“Is that the small business you thought of for Xue Sifu?” Xue Yan turned to her.
