Before leaving, Gu Xinyu cut a bundle of leeks, asked Chunmei to call Aunt Du Er, and everyone ate leek boxes together at night, Mama Wang and Aunt Du picked and washed the leeks, put them on the curtain to control the water, Xinyu beat more than a dozen eggs, stirred evenly, poured soybean oil into the big iron pot, and when the oil was hot, poured in the eggs, kept stirring, and soon, the eggs became broken grains one by one.
Everyone had never heard of this kind of food before, and at this time, under Gu Xinyu's command and requirements, the work to be done was done one by one.
At this time, the noodles have woken up, the second aunt kneaded the dough, kneaded into a round small dough cake, Wang Mama has already adjusted the filling, the smell of leeks is diffused in the stove room, roll the dough into a circle, wrap a batch according to the way of dumplings, sprinkle oil on an iron pot with a slightly flat bottom, put a row, flatten it with a spatula, wait for one side to fry golden, turn over and fry the other side, wait for both sides to be golden, the leek box is baked.
Even Fu Shu, who was recuperating in the outer courtyard, got up, stood outside the door, listened to the voices of the people in the courtyard, smelled the fresh fragrance that he had never smelled, his body felt a lot more relaxed, and his heart was warm, this may be the little day that the people say!
Freshly baked leek box, take a bite, crispy outside, fragrant inside, the special fragrance of leeks stimulates the tongue bud, eat a bite and want to eat a second bite, several people are busy, branded pot after pot, and so on Uncle Wang They come back from work, shredded meat millet porridge has been boiled, with spicy cabbage and vinegared radish, a few people in the hall of the outer courtyard eat fragrant, after a tired day back, can eat such delicious food, San Lang They feel that the current days are like fairies.
Fu Shu was eating with these peasants for the first time in the past few days, although those people looked ugly, gobbled up, and there was a stinging sound when drinking porridge, but all this made him feel inexplicably relieved.
Because no one here will assassinate themselves, and no one will poison the food, sandwich a chopsticks of spicy cabbage, take a bite of the yellow leek box, and drink a mouthful of shredded meat and millet porridge. You can chew as confidently and boldly as those people opposite!
Such a day he had never dreamed of before!
As soon as the sky was still bright, Gu Xinyu woke up, rubbing his eyes and yawning, although the temperature outside has risen, it is still very cold indoors at night, and the bed is hot, I really don't want to get up, the charcoal in the charcoal basin has burned out, at this time, Gu Xinyu stretched out his jade feet, and shrunk back, hey, I really want to be able to live in a house with ondol and geothermal heat now!
If you want to have these, you have to work hard and pay, Gu Xinyu is cheering for herself in her heart!
Quickly dressed, Chunmei pulled Gu Xinyu's hair and washed up. The two put on jackets and walked towards the greenhouse, Wang Bo and Xiao Tao were already there, the preparations had been done, Gu Xinyu asked everyone to separate a short distance when pulling cabbage and shallots, so that the rest of the continued growth will also grow thick because of the larger living space, and the leeks can be cut in rows, because leeks are root vegetables, after cutting this stubble, the next stubble will soon grow.
Soon these dishes were picked, Gu Xinyu and Chunmei were responsible for cleaning, the water in the water tank was full yesterday, and now it is just warm, and the washed vegetables are neatly stacked in wicker baskets, which are exactly six baskets. Straighten your waist, wash your hands in the conservatory, Chunmei carefully smeared the balsam for Gu Xinyu, the green onion and white jade fingers have not become rough due to daily labor, and the hands are a woman's second face!
Back to the main courtyard, after eating the breakfast carefully cooked by Mama Wang, a few people packed up and prepared to go, Uncle Wang called Du Sanlang, there are still about thirty acres of land that have not been cultivated, let San Lang take a few people to continue to turn the ground in the morning, these people are very excited these days, they have never used such a good Quyuan plow, the soil is deep, easy to control, and it is not difficult to turn around, but a few people were warned by Uncle Wang in advance, for this kind of farm tools in the farm is not allowed to be leaked, otherwise the contract will be terminated immediately, these people know the benefits, But at the same time, I am proud to work on such a farm!
After explaining some trivial matters one by one, Xiao Tao drove the carriage to Rongcheng, passing by Linshui County, in the largest restaurant in the county sold two catties of cabbage, one catty of shallots and leeks, priced at one or two silver per catty, no bargaining, because the scarcity is expensive, wait for two months, it is estimated that no one wants a penny, Uncle Wang and Gu Xinyu have the same idea, if you don't buy it, you will leave directly, just kidding, such a rare green leafy vegetable is sold to you to give you face, not to mention that the quality and quality of the vegetables are first-class!
When I entered Rongcheng, it happened to be the sergeant, the sergeant looked at these fresh vegetables, and then looked at the kid who was worried about grabbing Ganoderma lucidum last time, and was a little curious about this family, this season can grow such fresh and tender vegetables, it seems that this family is not simple!
Waving his hand and letting him go, Gu Xinyu was no longer worried about being robbed, he smiled with the sergeant in a friendly way, and the carriage continued to move, and after a while, he came to the largest restaurant in Rongcheng, the cyclamen.
Rongcheng is the largest and most prosperous city in the north, the width of the central street is 50 meters, every day here here are merchants and travelers from all over the country, the street is lined with shops, and the pedestrians are also bustling. There are no less than 20 famous restaurants here, and there is no worry about selling these vegetables.
Sure enough, when the cyclamen entered, the enthusiastic young man invited the shopkeeper to come, and when he saw these small dishes, the shopkeeper's eyes widened. This season, there are such tender green vegetables, I don't believe that I take out a small cabbage, wide green leaves, and a fragrance of cabbage comes to my nose. Then he looked at the few people in front of him, neither humble nor arrogant, and his attitude was indifferent, so he also put away his heart to take advantage, and did not hesitate to set the price of one or two silver per catty, and with a wave of his hand, he directly left two baskets of leeks and two baskets of cabbage, and the shallots weighed twenty catties, which made Gu Xinyu very good, so he gave a friendly gift of leek boxes, and the old shopkeeper's happy eyes narrowed, and he wrapped a large bag of cyclamen jujube cakes for this boy with red lips and white teeth.
These vegetables are a total of 260 catties, Gu Xinyu put away the silver ticket, put it in his pocket, refused the old shopkeeper to leave the food, and promised to send the dishes to the cyclamen as soon as possible when the food was delivered five days later, and the old shopkeeper was satisfied with the farewell to everyone. Looking at the tender vegetables in the big kitchen, this season with such a tender and green side dish as a gift, it is more popular than giving gold, silver and jewelry.
It is not as green as Gangnam, and it is only half a year that you can see green.
Thinking about how much the Guogong Mansion sent, how much the prefect sent, and some other customers, the rest was used to cook, remembering what leek box the half-sized boy provided just now, and walked over to see that the master had already branded it.
Clip one, bite it gently, the old shopkeeper is stunned, and the face master is worried, what's wrong? I smelled it just now. Seeing that the old shopkeeper no longer hesitated, he ate a leek box in a few bites, and the old shopkeeper nodded with satisfaction, delicious, it seems that the restaurant is going to make a small profit again.
Besides, Gu Xinyu and a few people came out of the cyclamen and came to another restaurant, and the shopkeeper without suspense wrapped up the remaining shallots, and repeatedly instructed them to remember to come here next time they came to sell vegetables.
Look at the sky is still early, go to the West Market to buy some meat and eggs, Gu Xinyu thought about it, the five young men in Dujia Village are still wearing the cotton jacket when they first came, now the weather is already hot, it is time to change it, a few days ago I mentioned it to Wang Bo, only to know that the poor here only have one set of clothes all year round, this cotton jacket and cotton pants will be dismantled in a few days, take out the cotton and put it away, and wait for the winter to go in, and then wash the pulp and wash, this cotton jacket will become a single clothes. Gu Xinyu was stunned for a while.
I happened to enter the city today and went to the ready-to-wear store, these five people and Xiao Tao are about the same figure, and bought a set of durable black cotton shirts for each of the five people, and bought several batches of cotton cloth, ready to let the second aunt make shoes for them. Gu Xinyu thought about it, and bought two sets of azure shirts for that Ashu, in fact, Ashu's temperament is suitable for wearing long shirts, but it is better to follow the customs, so it is better to avoid it.
Get on the carriage and everyone will return with a full load!
