Ye Muyu’s pickled cabbages were the kind that could be eaten directly. They could already be used as a dish. The main thing about pickled cabbages was not its taste but its fragrance.
Ordinary pickled vegetables only needed to be salted, but Ye Muyu used a lot of seasoning to make the pickled cabbages.
“Mother, you can also make some ordinary pickled vegetables.” Ye Muyu thought that if the condiments in those restaurants were too complicated, ordinary pickled vegetables would not destroy the original taste of the dishes.
“Alright, whatever you say.” Old Madam Ye knew that the pickled vegetables could earn money, so she trusted Ye Muyu even more.
Madam Liu also called Ye Muyu back to rest. Although her cooking skills were not as good as Old Madam Ye’s, since there was someone who was good at it here, she naturally would not let go of this opportunity to learn.
After Madam Zhang knew that she could earn money, she did not ask any more questions and buried herself in work.
Chu Qingxiang had eaten the fish with pickled cabbages with Ye Muyu earlier. She had wanted to ask how to make the pickled cabbages, but she did not want to offend Ye Muyu, so she kept it to herself.
She did not expect that Ye Muyu would sell the recipe for the fish with pickled cabbages now. She could even learn how to make pickled cabbages for free.
Chu Qingxiang did not think much of Madam Ye at first, but with the food that Ye Muyu usually gave her, her contempt for them lessened a lot.
She wanted to ask her Third Aunt, who she was not familiar with, but even the elders did not dare to ask Third Aunt to stay. She hesitated for a while and did not say anything.
On the other hand, it was imaginable how shocked Madam Wang was.
During the busy tarming season, she rarely went to the old residence. There were not many people in her family, and she was not willing to hire short-term workers. Halfway through, she even went to the mountains to pick Wild Fan flowers and fruits, and other medicinal herbs. She had already done her best to be able to finish the work and collect the wheat at home when the busy farming season ended.
Therefore, she had no idea that Ye Muyu had made a dish of pickled fish.
This news was heard from Madam Zhang when she saw a fish dish on the table during lunch.
The fish with pickled cabbages was really delicious, Madam Wang said silently in her heart. Although Ye Muyu often sent food to the old residence, she was a little unhappy that her second family was so unfilial.
Even if she had a good dish, she would have to send it to the old residence. She felt a little reluctant.
However, now that the pickled cabbages could be sold for money, she could no longer feel disgusted with Ye Muyu.
The reason was very simple. Her family could have good vegetables because of the money they earned from the medicinal herbs. They were only willing to buy meat because they had earned three to four taels of silver more than in previous years.
Therefore, she knew that the reason for the improvement in living conditions was that Madam Ye had discovered that medicinal herbs could be sold for silver.
She also took advantage of this.
Now, she also had a share in learning pickled cabbages.
Madam Wang decided to speak less and do more in the future. Although she was not very smart, she could see that as long as Madam Ye cared about the old residence, her family could benefit from her parents.
Although it was a little embarrassing to rely on her parents and bask in the light, thinking of the real benefits that their family had received, Madam Wang could not resist the temptation. The temptation of getting more meat in a month was much more important than the so-called face on the surface.
Besides, she had never heard anyone in the village gossip about her family. For the first time, Madam Wang realized that she might have been overthinking.
Ye Muyu did not know that the sensitive Madam Wang had been completely subdued by her.
Ye Muyu did not stay for long. She drank the medicine and prepared to go into the house to rest.
Ye Muyu had not even had time to catch his breath when he saw Chu Heng following him in.
“Did something happen?” Chu Heng stood in front of her and asked. Ye Muyu glanced at him and lowered her head. “I’m fine..”
