Chapter 241: Rice Flavor Fish Fat
Qiao Lan was busy with the harvest on the West Bank, and she also had to take care of the money and land, so she couldn't take care of the family's affairs for a while, so she would take this opportunity to hand over the power of the family to Chen Yueya.
In the future, the Qiao family's external affairs are bound to become more and more complicated, she can't always take care of both inside and outside, decentralization is a must, and she has high expectations for Chen Yueya, in addition to her own need someone to share some things, she also hopes that Chen Yueya will marry into her husband's family in the future, even if she is not the head of the family, she does not need to be in charge of the whole family, she can also take care of her own affairs. Now the back house of the Qiao family is not complicated, it is suitable to be handed over to Chen Yueya to practice, and with Mama Lin to help her, I am not afraid that she will not do well, even if there is a mistake, there will be herself in the back.
knows, only when the two sisters work together and support each other.
If you don't know, you can't help but think about it. Chen Yueya, to put it nicely, is the godsister of the head of the family, but there is an extra word "dry", in the end, he is an outsider, how can he manage the house, is Qiao Gongzi big-hearted or has another purpose.
Qiao Lan's decentralization of power, in the eyes of some people, has become a prelude to cultivating a housewife.
Liang Maohua worships the Buddha all day long, does not ask about the world, hearing this, she is worried and happy, she also feels that "Qiao Gongzi" fell in love with the little girl, otherwise she would not hand over the power of the family to the little girl, she is worried that the door is not right, the little girl will suffer in the future, and she is also worried that others will take the identity of the little girl as "Qiao Gongzi's sister", but thinking that the little girl is now in charge of the family, in the future in front of the wife and concubine of "Qiao Gongzi", she will not fall into the inferior ......
After figuring it out, Liang Maohua already regarded Qiao Lan as her son-in-law in her heart, and she didn't go out because of her. Qiao Lan didn't come to her either, otherwise, the mother-in-law would look at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at it, the more interesting it became, and she might recognize her.
Chen Yueya, who was in the center of public opinion, didn't think about it so much, she was very happy to be able to help Qiao Lan share one or two, in the past, she annoyed Mama Lin a lot of rules, but now, she took the initiative to move forward. I'm afraid I can't do it well.
Before. Qiao Lan doesn't like the things in the housekeeper's house, she has to get by, and her subordinates are very lax in doing things, but after Chen Yueya takes charge of the house. According to what Mama Lin said. There was a lot of reorganization. Who is Mama Lin? The people who came out of the palace had many rules and strict discipline. The descendants of the Qiao family were shocked. Gone are the loose days.
Because Baozhu was greedy, he went to the kitchen to cook and eat without permission, and was taken out by Mama Lin to kill chickens and monkeys, and hit the board, and Cheng Fatzi was also fined a month's money for joint and several liability.
Yu Dana and Ye Feitian have also been named many times, because they have no dignity and humility, and they even call themselves "me" in front of the head of the family, Qiao Lan.
Qiao Lan ran out every day, and no one dared to chew her tongue in front of her, and found that people were much more restrained, and she couldn't care about it, but she didn't know that the mansion was full of complaints because of the sudden high-pressure policy. It wasn't until Ye Feitian deliberately called himself a "minion" in front of her that she sensed that something was wrong and asked one by one.
Afraid that something would go wrong, Qiao Lan had to go to Yueyuan to find Chen Yueya, but was told that she was in Fuyuan. Then, she learned that Chen Yueya followed the rules of large households, morning and dusk, that is, the juniors went to greet the elders once a day in the morning and evening.
She touched her nose, she originally wanted Chen Yueya and Mama Lin to take it easy, take your time, don't push the subordinates too hard at once, at this moment, she was a little helpless. Chen Yueya has done this, she can't hold back, and besides, changing the order is not conducive to Chen Yueya's family.
Qiao Lan failed to succeed, but that night, she still summoned Mama Lin to her, saying that Yu Dana and Ye Feitian didn't have to call themselves "slaves" in front of her.
Mama Lin also thought that the recently promulgated family rules were too strict and wanted to interfere with it, and she had already thought of a statement when she came, but she didn't expect it to be just this matter, although it didn't agree with reason, but the master pardoned, and she couldn't say anything.
Last year, the Qiao family had asked six people to help buy dogwood, pepper, ginger and other condiments, and they didn't bother the two masters.
During the rice harvest on the west bank, Cheng Fatzi and Zhang Niangzi were not idle, and began to configure a large number of seasonings used for pickling dried fish, and when the rice fish was caught, they began to make spicy dried fish.
The yield per mu of rice is about four stones, and the yield per mu of the west bank is only three and a half stones, but it is not a reduction in yield, because the west bank has not been cultivated for more than ten years, and the land is barren.
The rice of the Yang family's big Zhuangzi is also being harvested, and after more than half of the harvest, the average yield per mu reaches five stones, an increase of a quarter, and that is the final result.
Zhu Qishan has been waiting for a long time, although he negotiated with Feng Qixiang to leave a piece of trial and second harvest without success, but the joy of the harvest diluted this little unhappiness, seeing the mountains of grain, laughing so hard that his teeth were blind, and he didn't know that he was the master of Zhuangzi.
Not long ago, his own people made out chutney, and the chili peppers had a real place to go, for the rice flower fish, the old trick of the housekeeper Tong was repeated, looking for someone to pickle the dried spicy fish, but the result was not ideal, I was worried, Feng Qixiang typeset decided to give all the fish to Qiao Lan, Qiao Lan only needed to give him a thousand catties of dried spicy fish.
The price of dried spicy fish is three taels of silver a catty, a thousand catties is three thousand taels, and the peach blossom fish of Da Zhuangzi is definitely not more than 10,000 catties, which is converted to more than 300 wen a catty, and the fish on the market is only a few tens of wen a catty, only perch, mandarin fish and other rare and particularly delicious fish will exceed 100 wen.
Qiao Lan agreed to such an obviously loss-making transaction, but there was one condition, the place to dry the fish was in Da Zhuangzi, and she couldn't stand the smell.
Rice fish, as the name suggests, eat the fish that grew up in rice flowers, compared to the average fish, not only the meat is delicate, but also the taste is fresh and fragrant, the steaming and boiling soup are all of the best quality, and the dried spicy fish is also excellent. The size of the rice fish is not big, generally only the size of a palm, two or three are only a catty, the fish on the west bank and the big Zhuangzi add up, about 20,000 catties, made into dried fish, there will be a little more than 10,000 catties.
The west bank began to hunt and kill the rice fish, and after smearing the material, it was salted into wooden barrels, and then transported to Yangjia Dazhuangzi in Lishan County, where it was dried after being tasted.
The west bank is filled with a strong fishy smell, and people can smell it when they stand on the east bank of the Yaoshui River. Others only think that Qiao's family slaughters the fish in the canal, but it is strange how many fish can cause such a heavy smell, and what the Qiao family does when they kill so many fish, but they don't know that in the west bank, the long-term workers, the nursing yard and the long-term workers kill the fish until their hands cramp, and it took three days to finish processing the fish.
Fortunately, the mansion on the west bank is built high, and the smell has faded a lot when it goes to it, otherwise, Qiao Lan, who can't smell the fishy smell, is estimated to go back to Wuli Town to live for a few days.
From late July to mid-August, the West Bank was busy with a series of big moves, and others were not unaware of it, and wanted to explore, but they were never allowed to enter. When the autumn harvest of the country officially started, the autumn harvest on the west bank has come to an end, however, the matter is not over, the pepper has entered the harvest period, and it needs to be picked and dried every day.
After being busy for so long, Qiao Lan was a little reluctant to go, and revealed through Yu Dana that everyone could receive an extra monthly payment after the autumn harvest.
As soon as the news came out, the people who were so tired that they couldn't do it seemed to have taken a panacea, their waists were no longer sore, their legs were no longer painful, and they were more energetic in their work.
It is said that the landlord Zhao followed the trend and planted several acres of peppers, and saw that he had begun to hang red, but he didn't know how to go next, if he couldn't find a way out, he would be blind. He had a few friendships with Tang Wenqiang, and only then did he know that peppers have a lot to do, in addition to pickling spicy cabbage, they can also be cooked, they can be made into sauces, and so on, and so on, but these practices are all made up by the Qiao family themselves, and others don't know.
While trying to make friends with Qiao Lan, Landlord Zhao secretly hated her for covering her too tightly.
With the rise of the Qiao family, more and more people pay attention to the Qiao family, and more and more invitations are handed over. After Chen Yueya took charge of the house, she attended on behalf of the Qiao family several times, and there were always a few ladies or ladies who embarrassed her for one reason or another. Zhao Qingli once spoke up and helped Chen Yueya break the siege, and the two girls became friends.
Qiao Lan, who had no intention of monopolizing, took the opportunity to return the favor to the landlord Zhao and told him some of the mysteries of peppers, especially in cooking.
If the landlord of Zhao got the treasure, he found a few cooks to develop pepper dishes, and really developed several dishes. He specially pulled the cook to the house in Qingshan Village, made a table of dishes, and invited Qiao Lan to taste them.
I heard that there is something delicious, and Dr. Zheng wants to go together.
Just out of the North Bridge Gate, I met Feng Qixiang......
The reason why the scoundrel is called a scoundrel is that ordinary people can't help it at all, when Qiao Lan arrived at the mansion of the landlord Zhao in Qingshan Village, he was followed by two oil bottles, old and young. Fortunately, Landlord Zhao didn't mind, and he couldn't wait to raise his hands to welcome Feng Qixiang's arrival.
Eight new dishes have traces of peppers, braised cinnamon fish, spicy tofu, and stir-fried chicken...... One by one, a table was set up, like Sichuan cuisine in later generations......
Looking at these familiar dishes, she was a little dazed, thinking of her grandfather Hua Yongzhi. Hua Yongzhi is a native of Sichuan, and under his influence, Qiao Lan also likes Sichuan cuisine.
Qiao Lan began to taste with the psychology of tasting, these dishes are still a little worse than the real Sichuan cuisine, but they are more than enough than the top, and it is not easy to do this with color and fragrance, and the picky such as Feng Qixiang has also eaten a lot, not to mention the foodie Zheng Shenyi.
The best daughter opened two altars, and for a while, the staggered plans were staggered, and the guests were happy.
After the banquet, the confident landlord Zhao once again received praise from Qiao Lan's mouth, and spoke his thoughts openly and honestly. Originally, he wanted to introduce these dishes to some restaurants to sell peppers, but after actually tasting these dishes, he changed his mind and decided to open a restaurant specializing in selling pepper dishes......
Qiao Lan secretly wondered, thinking that Landlord Zhao was also a talent, and he could think of such an idea. As soon as Landlord Zhao's restaurant opened, he might have visited it from time to time.
She was about to congratulate Landlord Zhao on his success and prosperous business, so he reversed the topic and invited her to join in and open this restaurant. Tonight, tasting food is still secondary, and cooperating with Qiao Lan is the ultimate goal of Landlord Zhao. (To be continued.) )
