Chapter 33: First Acquaintance

"Village Chief, don't worry! Young Master Situ, please come here, the child's mother has already prepared a meal at home. ”

Li Anfu hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

"Yes, Young Master Situ, this is something we haven't arranged, and we're causing you trouble, but if you go to another place to collect medicinal materials, there is not as much as us, and there is more than this kind of medicinal material on the mountain on our side, and more varieties will be developed in the future, and the medicinal materials will be guaranteed to be good, maybe we will also develop the cultivation of medicinal materials, and develop our Lijia Village into a medicinal material production area, I think you will also know the convenience of this."

Li Hui mentioned the benefits of buying medicinal herbs in the village.

The young master of a big family like this will definitely not be a straw bag, after all, many big families are cultivated from a young age, otherwise how can they be a hundred years old and endure.

What the businessman pays the most attention to, of course, is the profit, come to the village to collect medicinal materials, not only the distance is much shorter, the transportation is convenient, but also the interests of the intermediate medicinal material dealers are exempted, why not do it.

At this time, Situ Rui couldn't help but look at the black and thin little girl in front of him, he was angry, the people in the village only knew how to plead, but the little girl in front of him knew how to impress herself with benefits.

That's right, as the future head of the family, Situ Rui's first consideration is the interests of the family.

"Dad, you are busy here, I will take Young Master Situ home to rest."

Li Hui saw that the medicinal herbs at home had not yet been sold, so she automatically took on the responsibility of leading the way.

By the way, you can go home to your grandmother and mother and give them some advice, there are all kinds of things in modern times, although there is a lack of materials in ancient times, but you can have new ideas.

Situ Rui took a serious look at the little girl in front of him, her dark and bright eyes were bright, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't look like a little girl who had never seen the world in a peasant family.

There is also the tone of speech, shouldn't the little girls in the countryside not understand anything, go up the mountain to climb trees, go down to the river to fish, or do housework at home.

"What's your name?"

Situ Rui asked.

"My name is Li Hui, and this medicinal herb business was negotiated between our family and the pharmacy."

It turns out that this is the little girl Uncle Zhang said, I heard that this Yin Chen was discovered by the little girl in front of him.

Why is it that no one has known about medicinal materials for thousands of years, this little girl who looks a few years old can find it, I heard that she also knows other medicinal materials.

Situ Rui couldn't help but want to find out, he hadn't encountered such an interesting thing for a long time.

Don't you want to be so boring, Situ Rui decided to stay here for a while, and then go back to the capital after having enough, anyway, when he went back, he was either forced to marry by his mother, or he had a chance encounter with various young ladies on the street, which was simply annoying, and he could avoid it here for a while.

"Young Master Situ, my house has arrived, and my home is simple, I hope you will forgive me."

Li Hui knew that a young master like this might have never seen such a humble house in his life, but he had nothing to feel inferior to, and one day he would rely on his own hands and efforts to break out of the sky in this ancient world.

Standing in front of this rickety fence door, which felt like it was about to fall at any moment, Situ Rui firmly did not believe that such a peasant family could give birth to a person with such wise eyes.

Seeing those thatched huts standing alone in the courtyard, Situ Rui had a messy feeling in the wind, and he couldn't believe that this was a place to rest, but seeing that the village was like this, there was nothing to pick.

"Oh, Hui'er, who is this?"

Niu, who was busy sorting out medicinal materials in the courtyard, was extremely surprised to see Li Hui leading a young master standing at the door.

The person who came was dressed in white, his face was like jade, his long hair was flying, he was wearing a jade crown, and he was holding a folding fan in his hand.

"Grandma, this is the eldest young master of our medicinal herb family, Young Master Situ, who is eating at our house today!"

"Young Master Situ, hurry in, you're tired, it's really thanks to you this time, otherwise our medicinal materials won't be sold, Hui'er, you go pour water."

When Niu heard that he was the one who bought his own medicinal materials, he greeted Situ Rui warmly.

"Got it, grandma, young master Situ, go into the house and rest! I went to call my mother and aunt back to prepare the meal. ”

Situ Rui was invited into the hall, the dilapidated house, cleaned up very cleanly, it can be seen that he is a hardworking person.

"Young Master Situ, you rest first, I'll call the old man to come back to accompany you."

Niu, an old woman in the countryside, really didn't have a common language with everyone's sons, so she had to go out and call Li Qingshan.

"It's okay, you're busy, don't worry about me."

Situ Rui said, in fact, he just didn't want to endure the crazy woman in the village and the coveted eyes.

In the backyard, after hearing Li Hui's intention, Hu Shi suddenly felt nervous.

"Hui'er, you also know that our family didn't have any good things before, they were porridge all day long, and I don't know how to cook any good food, you said that the young master in the city, can you see it?"

"Don't worry, mother, don't you still have me?"

"What would you do as a child? When will you be able to cook? ”

"Oh, mother, maybe the young master is tired of eating big fish and meat all day long, and he still wants to eat some wild vegetables? Just listen to me! I won't do it, I won't say it! I said, you do it. ”

Li Hui is very confident, as a senior foodie, she has practiced the skills, and basically some of the home-cooked dishes she has eaten can be made at home a few times, and she can do it without leaving ten.

In the hall, Li Qingshan, as the head of the family, greeted Situ Rui, and in the kitchen, there was another busy scene.

Since there are not many types of materials at home, I can only try to make as many as possible.

To make a braised pork with the meat bought two days ago, Li Hui commanded, first cut the fat and thin pork belly into one-centimeter-square pieces of meat, boil water in the pot, put in the meat pieces and scald them for a while, pick them up and wash them for later use.

Put a tablespoon of oil in a pan and stir-fry the sugar over low heat.

The sugar was only bought after selling it a few times, and I hadn't tasted it before, and I couldn't eat enough food, how could there be such an expensive thing.

Then when the inside of the pot starts to smoke, the rock sugar melts and turns dark brown.

Then add the green onions, cut the wild ginger dug in the mountain into ginger slices, then add the pork belly and stir-fry over low heat, stir-fry until the pork belly has a little fat, and evenly colored.

Add water and just cover the meat.

Add an appropriate amount of salt, soy sauce, wine and other seasonings, cover and bring to a boil, then turn to low heat and simmer.

First cut the meat into thin slices and put the green onions, ginger, peppercorns, pepper and pepper, put the seasoning bag, add an appropriate amount of water, put the washed pork belly, add wine, salt, boil over high heat, remove the foam, turn to medium and low heat and cook and cool and cut thin slices for later use.

Wash the sauerkraut, cut into thin strips, and squeeze out the water.

Heat the pan with oil, after the oil is hot, add the red pepper shreds and stir-fry until fragrant, pour in the sauerkraut shreds and fry until fragrant, add the soup for boiling meat, cook for a stick of incense on high heat, then add the cut pork belly slices, continue to cook for a while, sprinkle with chopped green onions.

At this point, the braised pork should also be ready, and the soup will be cooked over medium heat with the lid open and until thick.

In the end, I made a cold salad, garlic greens, and a pot of thick egg drop soup, and the rice was ready!

Smelling the strong fragrance and bright color, Hu couldn't help but say: "Hey, Hui'er, how do you know that this dish is really fragrant!" Hurry up and take it out, Situ Gongzi is estimated to be in a hurry, and Tiance is so late. ”

In the hall, the tables were all set up at this time, Li Qingshan and several sons sat at a table with Situ Rui, and people from other pharmacies sat at a table alone.

The few people chatting had already smelled the fragrance wafting in, and when they saw the food served, their stomachs couldn't help but gurgle
