Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 187: Transformed into the Best Brother-in-Law (6)

Ma Cui'er was unhappy and Ning Shou was also uncomfortable.

When Ning Ning's new home was almost in order, Ning Ning invited everyone to a restaurant in town for dinner. Everyone agreed with a smile, but the couple refused, saying that they had things to do at home. They hesitated for a few words and left.

Looking at how anxious they are, it seems as if there is a whip whipping them from behind!

On the way back, Ning Shou said nothing. Ma Cuier stole a glance at his face and whispered, "Actually, it's not difficult for us to move to the town. We just have to find a way to make more money."

"You make it sound easy, but how can we do it?"

Ning Shou said something sternly, but Ma Cui'er was not annoyed at all. "Actually, I can also make braised pork. I learned it from my great aunt. She said that it was the way rich families eat it. How can we peasants eat it often? So, she only made it a few times, but I learned it from her. You can earn more by making braised pork, but you also spend more money."

If it were in the past, Ning Shou would definitely not agree.

He was not adventurous by nature and thought that it was good enough for Ma Cui'er to make some money by making pastries. It would be unnecessary to do anything else!

But he was provoked today and simply gritted his teeth and agreed.

Ma Cui'er first bought some meat and various seasonings, and made a few dishes for Ning Shou to taste according to the methods she learned in later generations.

The aroma wafted out before the braised meat came out of the pot, and Ning Shou was so greedy that he started drooling.

He couldn't wait to grab the meat and put it in his mouth. He didn't even have time to take the chopsticks when Ma Cui'er handed them to him. "Yeah, not bad, it's really good. You can make more and sell them. I think it's okay."

"Why don't you come with me? The two of us can take more things, and I can do more each time. Besides, I always go out very early, and sometimes there are not many people on the road. You know, to go to the town from here, we have to go through a forest, and I feel really scared."

She looked at Ning Shou coquettishly, but Ning Shou was unmoved. Instead, he looked at her strangely, as if she had said something excessive. "What about our land?"

"You can rent out the land like Ning Ning and the others did. If the cakes and braised meat sell well, you can earn much more than you earn from farming."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Ning Shou stopped chewing the meat and glared at her in dissatisfaction, "If we don't farm, what will we eat? Can you make money by selling these foods? If not, you still have to rely on me to farm for food! It's ok for a grown man like me to help you occasionally, but you make me spend the whole day with you to deal with these things! You don't feel ashamed, but I do! Besides, what is there to be afraid of? Isn't there someone guarding the forest? It's just that Ning Shuan, the orphan in our village, is hunting all day long. If you have any problems, just shout at me. What's there to be afraid of!"

He walked away without hesitation, but he did not forget to take all the braised food away, leaving nothing for Ma Cui'er.

"Hey, you, this person, are such a jerk."

She didn't dare to speak loudly and could only curse quietly.

After traveling through time, she looked down upon Ning Shou even more.

In fact, Ning Shou's words and deeds were not excessive among the men in the village.

Everyone is used to farming and instinctively hates other changes. Moreover, they are all patriarchal and believe that men should farm and do the most tiring work, so the delicious food at home should be eaten by men, and all household affairs should be decided by men.

Ning Shou had no bad habits. He didn't gamble or drink. He worked hard and rarely beat Ma Cui'er. He was also good-looking, so he was considered a good man in the village.

Even when Ma Cui'er got married, her younger sisters were envious of her.

But after being exposed to the ideas of later generations, Ma Cui'er no longer agreed with them.

She felt that not only Ning Ning was an excellent brother-in-law, but Ning Shou was also an excellent husband. Not only could he not be a help to her, but he would only hold her back.

Obviously, making braised meat and selling cakes are good ways to make money, but she has to spend a lot of effort to please Ning Shou before she can do it. Ning Shou doesn't help, but takes it for granted to enjoy the results. He is such a scoundrel!

The journey to town every day is quite long, and she has to carry a lot of things. Although she makes money, it is really hard. She wanted Ning Shou to help, but Ning Shou flatly refused!

You think it's shameful for a grown man to work with a woman? Bah, he can't make any money in the first place, how can he be a grown man!

From this point of view, Ning Shouyuan is not as good as...

Oh, what are you thinking about? All she needs to do now is to make more money and live a good life.

Ma Cui'er put her mind to it and worked hard on making braised food, which she sold on the market and was very popular.

There was no specialized store selling braised food in the town before. It was sold by the restaurants in the town. The taste was not as good as Ma Cui'er's, so naturally it did not sell as well as Ma Cui'er's.

After hearing about this, Ma Cui'er went to find the owner of the restaurant and offered to consign some of the braised meat to him and share the proceeds. The owner readily agreed.

When someone comes to eat, they will help recommend food, so that Ma Cuier can earn more.

Seeing the money, Ning Shou no longer tried to stop her and agreed to take out all the money in the house so that Ma Cui'er could buy more meat and seasonings and make more braised food to sell.

They also gave some braised food as a thank you gift and specially borrowed a cart, which Ma Cui'er pushed to sell.

Although Ma Cui'er's business was successful, Ning Shou felt complicated. He was still unwilling to give up farming. Only after Ma Cui'er urged him repeatedly did he reluctantly help Ma Cui'er and go to the town once.

After a few times, Ma Cui'er stopped begging him and gritted her teeth and pushed the cart forward. No one knew how she, a woman, managed to persevere.

Just as the business was getting better and better, something unexpected happened.

Ma Cui'er was pushing a cart and selling braised food that day when two yamen runners suddenly came over with their chests puffed out and looked down on her.

"You are Ma Cui'er?! We ask you, since you sell braised food here, have you changed your household registration to business?"

"Oh, no, I haven't. My Lords, this is just some meat from my home. I'm afraid it will go bad, so I'm selling it as braised food. It shouldn't be necessary..."

"How dare you! It's not up to you to decide whether it's right or wrong! You are such a shrew!"

"I was wrong. Everything is decided by the adults. Oh, I have some stewed food here. I'll present it to you two adults."

Originally, the yamen runner could not be called an adult, but in order to flatter him, Ma Cui'er naturally spoke in a nice way.

But the two yamen runners pouted and threw the braised meat aside, "Don't give us that crap, someone told us that this is not your own meat, but it's sold to be made into braised meat, and you even sent it to the restaurant for consignment. If this isn't doing business, what is it? Since you're doing business, how can you still be a farmer! Humph, you bitch, come with us, these things will be confiscated!"

The regulations of the time stated that if you wanted to do business, you had to register as a merchant. But if you registered as a merchant, not only did you have to pay taxes, but your descendants for three generations could not take the imperial examinations to become officials. So even those who were engaged in business would try every means to avoid being registered as a merchant.
