Chapter 107: Bear
Zhao Qingzao finally persuaded Grandma Niu that the order was completed, so that he could focus on hunting.
At this time, Chu Xingshan also came back, Zhao Qingzao greeted him, and continued to discuss the improvement of the trap with Chu Xingshan, she had some ideas, and wanted to discuss it with Chu Xingshan, but she didn't know if it was feasible or not.
As soon as the two chatted, they were very devoted, and before they knew it, time had passed, and when Zhao Qingzao came back to his senses, the time was not early, and hurriedly said goodbye to Chu Xingshan and Grandma Niu, she was a family person, and she had to hurry to make dinner before her husband went home, so as to save her husband from starving and sick.
Grandma Niu sent her out, watching her back disappear quickly, obviously in a hurry to go home, and she felt a little emotional, how could such a good girl not be her daughter-in-law?
I don't know what kind of daughter-in-law Xiaoshan will marry in the future, if there is a general Zhao Qingzao, she will be satisfied.
This night, Zhao Qingzao was in a state of excitement, lying on the bed and still tossing and turning, until Shen Changting couldn't stand it anymore and took the person into his arms.
Early the next morning, the genius was bright, Zhao Qingzao automatically opened her eyes, she slept late this night, and after falling asleep, she had no dreams all night, and she was very tired when she dealt with the whole bear yesterday.
However, when I woke up in the morning, I only felt a hundred times more energetic, and I did not feel tired at all. She looked at the sky, it was still early, and the restaurant was not open at this time, and she couldn't see Steward Li when she went.
Shen Changting beside him was breathing for a long time, obviously still asleep, and he didn't want to wake him up. If you are not in good health, if you can't even sleep well, it's a big taboo.
So Zhao Qingzao, who had nothing to do, had to open his eyes, stare at the window, and look at the sky outside, as if this could make the dawn faster.
At last it was dawn, first there was a crisp birdsong, a dog barking or two in the distance, and gradually there were voices, and the early risers began to work, and the sleeping village woke up.
The people here still keep the ancient system, and after getting up, they go to work in the fields before going home for breakfast. Zhao Qingzao is from modern times because of the special situation, Zhao Qingzao is from modern times, there is no such habit, and Shen Changting is weak, so their family has always gotten up directly to eat breakfast, and then acted separately.
At this time, hearing someone's voice, Zhao Qingzao couldn't bear it, and planned to get up quietly and make breakfast first.
As a result, Shen Changting has always slept lightly, although he has been a little better recently, but he has always slept less, and he was about to wake up at this time, Zhao Qingzao took a moment, and he noticed it.
Zhao Qingzao secretly finished dressing, and when he turned around, he found that Shen Changting had woken up, looked at her with his eyes open, and was startled, patted his chest and said, "It's scary in the morning." You're awake? You're noisy? It's still early, let's go to bed again, I'll make breakfast first. ”
I didn't listen to an answer when I said that, and went out directly.
Shen Changting stared at the direction she left for a moment, and slowly followed.
Zhao Qingzao quickly made some pancakes and fruits, and made an egg drop soup, today she was in a hurry to go out, and she had no time to make porridge. Picked up a pancake fruit, and while biting, he advised: "Eat this in the morning, I have to go to the restaurant to find Steward Li, and I will make something delicious for you in the evening." ”
After saying that, he went out, and after Shen Changting finished washing, he ate cakes and drank soup silently.
When Zhao Qingzao arrived at the door of the restaurant, he saw Steward Li talking to a guy at the door, and when he saw her coming, he nodded his head. Zhao Qingzao didn't bother, he could still afford to wait for this time.
After Steward Li finished explaining, he walked to Zhao Qingzao's side: "Your guest is coming, I said why there are magpies calling in the tree this morning, is there any good news for the old man today?"
Zhao Qingzao smiled: "This is really what you said, I really came with good news." ”
"Oh?" Steward Li was just a joke just now, the order for preserved eggs has only been over for a few days, the new batch must not have been pickled yet, and the recipe has only been newly written, Zhao Qingzao should not come out with her family wealth for a while, her good news can't be guessed: "What good news?"
Zhao Qingzao pretended to smile mysteriously and gestured: "This is a big guy, and you must be interested." ”
Hear her say so. Steward Li is really starting to be a little interested, and he has a little understanding of Zhao Qingzao's temper after working together twice, knowing that she is not a person who talks about it.
Zhao Qingzao no longer sells Guanzi, or rather, she really can't help it, she was in the excitement of catching a bear all day yesterday, and it was time to accept the results.
"I hunted a bear," she said, "I wonder if Steward Li is interested in accepting it?" Although the words were interrogative, she was not worried at all, this kind of large prey, ordinary restaurants are specially acquired, and now it is sent to the door, how can it be turned away.
Sure enough, after Steward Li heard this, in addition to being a little surprised at first, he was quickly covered with joy: "You mean a bear? Where did you hunt it?"
Zhao Qingzao said: "That's right, not only is it a real bear, but it is also very strong and sturdy, especially suitable for a restaurant as magnificent and full of guests as you are." Now that I'm still at my house, I think we've worked together, and Steward Li is a good person, so if you have good things, you will naturally keep them for you first. ”
"That's natural, we have always been very happy to work together, and we will continue to cooperate in the future, and my price here is definitely not less than others. Steward Li was patted on the back, and he was in a good mood, he had a good impression of Zhao Qingzao, and he favored her even more at this time.
Zhao Qingzao said: "In this case, Steward Li sent someone to go home with me to get it, this thing is to be eaten fresh, if it is left for a long time, the taste will not be good." ”
Steward Li said: "Exactly, exactly, I'll arrange it, you wait a while, go in and have a cup of tea, and I'll go with you." Have you eaten breakfast? Ask the kitchen to cook some for you. ”
"No, I've eaten, thank you Steward Li. Zhao Qingzao hurriedly excused himself.
Steward Li turned around and was busy sending someone, he asked about the approximate weight and volume, and simply pulled a car over, ready to use the car to pull the bear back.
The two got into the car and went all the way to Zhao Qingzao's house.
When he arrived at the door of the house, Zhao Qingzao jumped out of the car and saw that the courtyard door had been closed, and it seemed that Shen Changting had already gone to work. She opened the door and led Steward Li to the place where the bear was placed.
Zhao Qingzao said before that it was a big bear, but the bear was originally big, and Steward Li was only as usual, and he was deeply surprised when he saw it with his own eyes: "This, such a big one, is this really what you hunted?"
Even ordinary hunters can't hunt bears alone, in the woods, the bear blind man is an absolute beast that even a tiger dares to rush up, and generally no one dares to move, but he didn't expect to be hunted by a weak woman.
Zhao Qingzao didn't want to attract too much attention because of this matter, after all, this place is different from the modern era where she acts with her ability, if a woman is too capable, she will be excluded, and if there is too much gossip, it will bring trouble to their lives.
Regarding the rhetoric, he had already thought about it, and said with a smile at the moment: "What kind of business do I do alone, I went with others, and I didn't catch it, I dug a trap, and this one just fell into the trap and caught it." ”
This excuse sounded very convincing, and Steward Li didn't have any intentions, he looked at the bear meat, it was very complete and fresh, and he was satisfied, and immediately said: "We want this bear in our restaurant." I'll pull it back, and you will come with me and find the shopkeeper to count the money. ”
Zhao Qingzao said: "Of course this is no problem, I originally kept it for you first." You also know that I have encountered something now, and I urgently need money, but I can't wait. ”
Steward Li said: "Don't worry, I will tell the shopkeeper, weigh it, and calculate it directly." ”
Zhao Qingzao said happily: "That's great, thank you Steward Li." ”
The people brought by Steward Li brought bear meat into the car, they drove the car, many villagers on the road saw it, I don't know what it was, this is to see such a big bear, they are all amazed, around the side to see rare.
Several people who were familiar with Zhao Qingzao came up and pulled Zhao Qingzao to ask non-stop, and Zhao Qingzao said the words he had made up before, and everyone believed it a little, and they were still amazed on the side.
The bear pulled to the restaurant, and the shopkeeper was shocked when he saw it, this kind of beast, they haven't received it in the restaurant for a long time, it seems that the restaurant is going to be on fire again.
As if seeing the diners coming, the restaurant was full of people, and the silver of the white flowers continued to flow into his money bag, and the shopkeeper who was in a good mood readily agreed after hearing that Steward Li said that Zhao Qingzao asked for cash settlement.
After two discussions, the restaurant finally bought the bear for five hundred taels of silver. The shopkeeper's movements were fast, and Steward Li was also helping to urge on the side, so he quickly wrapped up the honorarium and handed it to Zhao Qingzao to be counted, and the money and goods were both paid.
Zhao Qingzao held the heavy silver, and his heart was happy, this is a lot of money, it was really worth it after being tired for so many days before, and the previous sales of preserved eggs did not add up to this fraction.
Originally, she just thought that the large prey could be sold more, but how much could be sold, in fact, she didn't have a number in her heart, the five hundred taels were really beyond her expectations, regardless of whether the restaurant could make more money, but for the current Zhao Qingzao, it really helped her a lot.
Thinking so, she simply iced on the cake and took the initiative to say: "I still have a few recipes for cooking bear meat here, if you don't dislike it, you should give it to the restaurant." ”
When the shopkeeper and Steward Li heard this, they naturally couldn't ask for it. The recipes I got from Zhao Qingzao before, almost every dish was very popular, and now it is the signature dish of their restaurant. Just relying on such recipes, the business of their restaurant is thirty percent better than before!
Other restaurants are staring at them every day!, the shopkeeper thought proudly. Hearing that Zhao Qingzao was willing to come up with a new recipe, and it was a special ingredient such as bear meat, it was strange that he would refuse.
Zhao Qingzao is not hidden, anyway, this kind of recipe is not often used, it is just a favor to the restaurant, there is nothing to be reluctant to, and the restaurant is really good to her.
She turned the pen and paper handed over by the shopkeeper, thought about it a little, and wrote a secret bear paw, a slippery bear meat, and a bear meat skewer, all of which were very novel, and the shopkeeper saw that these recipes could bring a lot of income to the restaurant.
Both sides were very satisfied with this transaction, and Steward Li sent Zhao Qingzao out, and Zhao Qingzao carried the bear meat set aside in advance, ready to take it to everyone in the county government to taste it.
This is a rare and rare thing, which can not be eaten at any time every day, so let's fill your mouth today.
When it was time for lunch, a group of people really moved their index fingers, couldn't stop eating, and kept praising them, and someone asked: "What kind of meat is this, it doesn't taste like the cows, sheep and pigs that you usually eat, it's so delicious, is it human meat?"
The other snatched a piece from the side and said vaguely: "It's so delicious, no matter what kind of meat it is, even if it's human flesh, I recognize it." ”
The master was appetized by them, and one person went over with an eye knife, and they were all honest. The county magistrate was also curious: "But this taste is indeed a novelty, I seem to have eaten it somewhere, and I can't remember it for a while." ”
Among the group, only Chu Xingshan knew the origin of this meat, and he was smiling and smiling beside him, waiting for Zha to say it early in the morning to startle them.
