"What is this doing, why is it so fragrant?"

Chang Xiwang smelled the fragrance, immediately put down the farm tools on his body, and ran directly into the kitchen. As a result, as soon as I entered, I saw Chang Xile sprinkling things into the pot, and I knew what was going on at a glance, and the whole person was a little confused.

"Joy, you, what are you doing here?"

Chang Xile turned around and smiled at him, "I made a pig's trotter and snail pot, you should hurry up and wash your hands and try my craftsmanship." I'll give some advice and see if I can sell it for money. ”

Chang Xiwang was completely stunned, he didn't have the concept that Chang Xile would do these things in his mind, although Chang Xile no longer wears cloth clothes and caftans at home now, but his temperament is still different from their mud legs.

Chang Xiwang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned around and ran out, shouting loudly: "Dad, mother, Xile personally cooked delicious food!" ”

The corners of Chang Xile's mouth twitched, this movement was noisy, and those who didn't know thought something big had happened!

For the three rooms of the Chang family, this is really a big deal, and everyone put down what they are doing and rushed over.

"What? That fragrance was made by my uncle just now? How did he cook it himself? Cao's second sister-in-law reacted the fastest, shouting as she walked into the kitchen.

Sister-in-law Wang was full of anxiety and worry, and scolded Huaizi with her head and face: "Huaizi, are you lazy, relying on your young age to go to work uncle!" ”

Huaizi originally focused on the pot of pig's trotters and snails, but when he heard this, he hurriedly jumped up from the grass mound, "Mother, I didn't, it was my uncle who wanted to do it himself." ”

Chang Xile also hurriedly explained, "Sister-in-law, don't blame Huaizi, it's my idea." ”

Sister-in-law Wang suddenly didn't know how to put her hands and feet, "This, how can you do this kind of thing, this, this is not suitable......"

Chang Xile smiled: "What's inappropriate, I will do it when I have time, isn't our family like this?" ”

Seeing that everyone had come in, he said: "Besides, this is what I said before, and I will sell it outside in the future, I knew before that Fang Zi had never done it personally, so I have to try it to teach you." Father, mother, brother and sister-in-law, you all come over and try it, and see if this thing can be sold for money? ”

Grandma Sun looked distressed, "Your hands are used for writing, where are they used for this kind of rough work." ”

Although Father Chang also felt that it was inappropriate, he was not like Grandma Sun, who was eager to provide Chang Xile and prevent him from contaminating the slightest work at home. He felt that no matter who it was, he had to be able to do this kind of housework, and whether he usually did it or not was another matter.

"What's wrong with doing it once in a while, after having this craft, I'm not afraid of starving to death."

Grandma Sun was not happy, "Xiao Wu is a talent, and he doesn't have to rely on this to live, he is a Wenqu star in the sky, how can he do these pickled things." ”

This is really not moving, and it belittles everyone present, although this world also pays attention to 'everything is inferior, only reading is high', but it does not mean that people who are engaged in 'inferior' things will like to work hard and become a pickled thing in other people's mouths.

Chang Lao's face sank, Chang Xi saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly interjected, "Dad, mother, you hurry up and try your son's craftsmanship, I don't have a score in my heart, I have to listen to your opinions, and everyone is hungry." ”

When Daddy Chang heard this, he didn't get angry on the spot and asked everyone to sit down for dinner.

Those present were already hungry for this pungent fragrance, and they all sat down happily when they heard this. Originally, I was hungry when I came back from a day's work, and when I encountered such a good thing, where could I still stop it.

Cao's second sister-in-law said happily: "I can eat more today, this is made by Xiucai Gong himself!" If we don't ask for food, we can be as smart as Xiao Wu, and it would be great if we could be more sensible. ”

Second sister-in-law Cao wanted to say something nice, but Mrs. Sun didn't appreciate it and glared at her, "I can't stop your mouth if I have food!" ”

Grandma Sun disagreed with Chang Xile doing such a right thing in her heart, and couldn't help but wonder if it wasn't for an accident, where would her son fall to such a point. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that God was unfair, and my eyes turned red.

Originally, everyone was very interested in this pot of things, and they couldn't help but want to get off the chopsticks, but when they saw Grandma's attitude, they suddenly lost their appetite.

Daddy Chang was even more annoyed, and directly dropped his chopsticks, "If you don't want to eat, go out!" Save yourself from losing everyone's appetite here. ”

Only then did the grandmother stop.

Chang Xile wanted to help his forehead, although he could guess that everyone would oppose him cooking, thinking that it would mean two sentences, and not letting him move in the future, he didn't expect it to be like this at all. He didn't say that he would continue to do this job in the future, and he didn't bury Xiucai's identity because of cooking a meal, as for it!

Chang Xile once again realized the helplessness of the original body, everyone really held him too high, and separated him from the members of this family, so he couldn't hold on as soon as something happened.

At this moment, a head suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and a pair of big eyes were full of worry.

"Meow—"

Chang Xile suddenly laughed and nodded Chang Yu's forehead, "Little guy, when will you speak?" Meow all day long, I really think of myself as a cat. ”

Chang Yu saw Chang Xile smile, knowing that he was no longer unhappy, he arched his head in Chang Xile's arms again.

Although the atmosphere was not very good at the beginning, when everyone began to eat with chopsticks, they were all conquered by Chang Xile's craftsmanship.

Just because poor people don't pay attention to eating doesn't mean they can't eat well. Everyone first divided the pig's trotters inside, and the pig's trotters were bitten in their mouths, and the taste instantly exploded in their mouths, so delicious that they didn't know how to describe it.

"This, this tastes good! It's completely different from the pig's trotters I've eaten before, or I would almost not recognize them as pig's trotters! Chang Xingwang's eyes lit up.

Although the Chang family has not been able to eat meat for a long time, they still have meat to eat. Especially when a woman gives birth, even if she grits her teeth, she will also stew her own pig's trotters in the confinement for the mother.

Cao's second sister-in-law also said: "Why does this taste so good, the chefs of the drunken fairy buildings in the county are not so good, and the uncle is really good at everything!" It's just a little spicy. ”

Cao's second sister-in-law said while sighing, obviously it was a little spicy and unbearable, but she didn't want to eat the other side without chili peppers.

In order to let the children eat it, Chang Xile deliberately left half of the dogwood sauce without putting it, and the taste was lighter. It's delicious, but it's obviously not tempting to put dogwood sauce.

But it's still a great delicacy for the children, and they have no time to talk when they eat with a mouthful of oil. Chang Yu also ate with a satisfied face, and his expression was obviously much more enjoyable than usual.

"Spicy is good enough! Sweating all over, the day's hard work is gone, and my stomach is very hot! It would be even more beautiful if there was wine. Chang Xiwang said with some regret. Especially if there are too few pig's trotters, one person can eat so many two pieces, and he can only stretch out his hand towards the snail.

"It's spicy because of dogwood, right? Why is there no bitter taste? Daddy Chang wondered.

The others just reacted, yes, why is there no bitter taste?

Chang Xile smiled: "That's why I cooked it myself today, I have to try to get rid of this bitterness, and I have to retain its original taste." ”

"Hey, why is this snail so delicious! It is fresh and fragrant and has no earthy smell, and the special flavor is that the meat is a little less. ”

Chang Xiwang couldn't help but exclaim, and kept admiring, the speed in his hand was very fast, and he could eat meat by sucking it. Words and actions make no secret of their satisfaction, and definitely belong to the chef's favorite customer.

The snail is very inconvenient to eat, and you can eat the meat directly by sucking it directly, but if you don't have the ability, you can only use a bamboo skewer to slowly tie it, and you can't make one for half a day. Most of the people who can't get it out are children, and Huaizi showed a sense of responsibility for the eldest son and grandson at this time, obviously he was also greedy, but he was very patient to help his younger brothers and sisters pick snails.

Chang Yu saw it, and he also grabbed Chang Xile and wanted him to help.

Chang Xile didn't pay attention to him, and said: "Let's eat this snail after eating, that thing is good to eat as a pastime, and it's too troublesome to eat as a dish." Let's add some more water to this pot, I have soaked the dried rice noodles at home, and after a while, I will blanch it and pour this soup on it, plus pickles, green vegetables or something, and the taste is amazing! ”

Pumpkin Province is rich in rice but does not grow wheat, so it is popular to eat rice noodles instead of noodles. However, most farmers rarely eat it on weekdays, mainly because it is troublesome to make zuò and it has to be good white rice, so most of them will make it themselves during the New Year's holiday. There are also rice noodle stalls in Daoxiang County, but probably to save costs, it is simply cooked and put some oil and salt and scattered green onions, and the taste is very average.

This time, everyone did not let Chang Xile do it himself, but let Sister-in-law Wang and Second Sister-in-law Cao do it for them.

First, put the rice noodles soaked in advance by Chang Xile into boiling water to soften, then take them out and put them in a bowl, and then pour the pig's trotters and snail soup just now, put in the blanched vegetables, and fry the shredded bamboo shoots, capers and dried radishes in advance. The pickles are all stir-fried with dogwood sauce, which is very fragrant. These pickled products were pickled by the previous sisters-in-law, and it is very popular in Daoxiang County to make zuò and eat these pickles, and then sprinkle some shallots, and the simple version of snail noodles will be freshly baked.

Everyone looked at the oily and tempting rice noodles, and ate them without saying a word as soon as they got their hands, the taste was spicy and fragrant, and they couldn't stop eating while sweating. The children also squinted so much that they kept pulling into their mouths.

Chang Yu has no way to do anything about chopsticks at present, and they are all fed by Chang Xile little by little. Chang Yu ate quite satisfied, sucking and sucking a big mouthful, Chang Xile couldn't catch up with him, this was the first time Chang Yu was so interested in food other than meat.

If it was usual, the grandmother must have felt distressed when she saw it, how could her best son do the work of feeding the child, but now she can't take care of it at all, and the unhappiness before has been eaten away by this delicacy.

Since Chang Xile was injured, the Chang family has been eating without taste, and now they suddenly encounter such a delicious thing.

Chang Yu took a few bites and pushed the chopsticks to Chang Xile's mouth, Chang Xile smiled and took a bite, Chang Yu also squinted and laughed when he saw this.

Chang Xile is not too satisfied with this taste, there is still a certain gap between what he did in his previous life, and he can only barely pass. However, compared to the food stalls in the county, it is still much more delicious, and he is happy to see everyone eating so happily.

"Originally, there should still be brine, but boiling a pot is too expensive, and now it's not time to do business, so we can't usually eat so much, so we don't do it. If you put that, it will taste better. We went to inquire before, and there should be a lot of outsiders coming by then, and if they are not accustomed to the water and soil, it is most suitable to eat our rice noodles. There are dozens of herbs in the brine, such as grass fruit, fennel, pepper, hay, cinnamon, cinnamon branches, licorice, etc., all of which are designed to treat abdominal pain, indigestion, vomiting and diarrhea. ”

Everyone widened their eyes when they heard this, "So exquisite?!" ”

Chang Xile said: "If you want this rice noodle to taste good, the important thing is that this pot of soup and brine." We are going to do the business of the stewards, and if we don't show some skills, these people will definitely not buy it. ”

"How many bowls do you have to earn back?" Chang Xingsheng was a little worried, things are good, but if the cost is too high, this business may not be successful.

"I did the math, not counting firewood and labor, a bowl costs about six yuan, and we have to sell it for twelve yuan."

"It's so expensive!"

Now everyone's voices are louder than before, and a bowl of rice noodles sold in the county is only five cents.

"Who wants to buy it if it's so expensive?"

"Yes, this is also ruthless, I think a bowl of eight cents is enough."

Grandma Sun couldn't speak for Chang Xile anymore, and it was too expensive in her opinion.

Chang Xile said: "The place where the river is dug is far away from the populated place, and it is not easy to eat something good. Besides, our play means that it is good and fresh, and it is worth the price. The reason why I made the flavor so strong was to change the taste for those people. When the time comes, won't it taste better to take this thing and eat it with their own dry food? There are also snails and pig's trotters, which will be sold separately at that time, and a plate will be sold at this price, which is the most suitable for those little stewards to send wine to eat. ”

Now everyone is no longer angry, although they still feel expensive and a little suspenseful, but they don't feel as incredible as before.

Daddy Chang pondered for a moment and said: "This price is indeed not expensive, and there are many things that are more expensive than this one outside, and they can still sell well." As long as those little stewards have some spare money, they will be willing to give it. We are used to being poor and think it is expensive, but it is nothing. ”

Even Daddy Chang said so, and everyone thought that it might be possible.

Chang Xile said: "This soup can also be used to scald vegetables, drainage, chicken and duck feet, etc., these are also sold separately, and they are all good items with dry food." It's not easy for us to go there, and we will definitely have to borrow an ox cart to go over when the time comes, and if we get up early and be greedy for darkness, if we sell it too cheaply, it won't count. ”

"We're not afraid of hard work, I'm afraid that no one is willing to pay for it, as long as I can sell it for money, I don't sleep for a day!" Cao's second sister-in-law said that if she can really do business, she will be happy to let her work hard. One bowl can earn six wen! If you can sell ten bowls a day, it's sixty Wen! There was no one in that place to collect rent or anything, and it was all net profit. It's ...... in a month

Second sister-in-law Cao hurriedly shook her head, no, I can't think about it, I feel like I'm going to drop money in the sky when I think about it. If you can't do it, it will be like losing your money.

Everyone also has the psychology of Cao's second sister-in-law, and they are looking forward to it, but they feel a little unreliable. After all, none of them have ever done such a business, and they are very bottomless.

"You have to try to know, so we don't have to rush for the first month, we have to see what the situation is there, so that there are fewer detours, after all, we can't afford to toss. If the stewards complain that the food is unpalatable, we have a chance. At the beginning, we did less, if we really didn't have business, we should add our own food, and we could improve the food for the eldest brother in those days. ”

Chang Xixing heard this, and hurriedly said: "No, it's important to sell money, I can eat the dry food that is issued." ”

Chang Xiwang said: "I want to eat!" This business must be successful, and when it is my turn, there will be delicious food! ”

"Look at your little bit of talent!" Father Chang glared at him angrily, but he was not angry in his words, and said: "If this business is really done, whoever digs the river, his daughter-in-law will go to sell food for a while." But it's okay to say, when the time comes, you can't give all the good things to your own man, and if the business loses, all your wages for digging rivers will have to be deducted. ”

As soon as these words fell, everyone immediately laughed, although they didn't know what the business would be, but everyone felt more energetic in their hearts.
