Chapter 037: Sour Bamboo Shoots
There were still more than a dozen steps to get home, but there was a mule cart with blue curtains and black paint behind it, which passed by Xiao Yu and Xiao Yucheng, and stopped at the side of the courtyard gate.
Someone is looking for trouble again?
The two paused slightly before quickening their pace.
The mule cart stepped down a young man in a royal blue robe, and turned to look at the two. I saw that he was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was beautiful and elegant.
"Why is Brother Qin here today?" Xiao Yucheng's face turned pale, and he said in surprise.
It turned out that this was Xiao Yucheng often mentioned the classmate, Qin Guangyu, the young owner of the Drunken Immortal Residence, who was said to be amazing and beautiful, and was very valued by the mountain chief.
Xiao Yu put down the fish basket and stepped forward to salute. Qin Guangyu returned the salute, because Xiao Yu was dressed in men's clothes, he couldn't help but take a few more looks. After a few people saw it, the entourage coachman next to him helped carry the fish basket with great eyes, and walked into the yard together.
Xiao Pei heard the movement and came out.
Qin Guangyu just saw Xiao Yu dressed as a boy, and was thinking about not knowing what Xiao Yucheng's eldest sister looked like, when he looked up and saw a beautiful girl. She combed her buns, her eyebrows were like spring willows and her eyes were full of autumn water, although she was wearing an ordinary skirt, she had a different temperament like empty mountains and spiritual rain in her gestures.
Xiao Yucheng introduced the two of them again.
"Qin Gongzi Wanfu." Xiao Pei was a little cramped when he saw the living person at first glance, and then stepped forward to salute.
"Miss Xiao doesn't have to be polite." Qin Guangyu hurriedly replied.
Xiao Yu had quickly brought out the tea and fairy grass and put them on the table to serve the guests. Xiao Pei went into the kitchen to separate the fish and shrimp, and put the food in the basin so as not to die and not be fresh.
Xiao Yucheng put the gift box into the house and said with a smile: "Brother Qin came here today, the second sister is about to open the sour bamboo shoot jar that she soaked some time ago, and she has eaten too much of the feast of the Drunken Immortal Residence, and you can also taste the country dishes here." ”
"Sour bamboo shoots?" Qin Guangyu's eyes lit up, but he had never heard of it.
It's just that the second girl of the Xiao family can make such a famous spot as fairy grass jelly, and the rest of the food is also worth looking forward to.
At this time, Xiao Yu came in with a plate and a smile, and walked to the big clay pot in the corner of the hall, but he was about to unseal the jar of sour bamboo shoots.
Xiao Yucheng pulled Qin Guangyu over with him.
Xiao Yu opened the lid, and a sour smell came to his face. She used clean and oil-free chopsticks to pick up a piece of bamboo shoot and put it on a plate, took a small piece and tasted it, and the fruit was as sour, crispy and rich as expected.
"How?" Xiao Yucheng asked, already feeling his tongue full of relish.
"Okay." Xiao Yu nodded, took two more pieces, and brought them to the kitchen.
Xiao Pei had already selected the greens and washed the catfish, and reached out to scoop up the bamboo herring.
"If I eat it again that night, I will have sour bamboo shoots and fish soup at noon." Seeing this, Xiao Yu hurriedly said. If you make steamed bamboo herring, you will definitely steal the limelight from sour bamboo shoots.
Xiao Pei went to wash rice and burn the fire, she looked at a few pieces of sour bamboo shoots with good color on the plate, and asked, "Ah Yu, what should I do about this?" ”
"Cut the sour bamboo shoots into shreds, fry them in a pot and dry them; Fry the fish slightly, boil in water, add shredded bamboo shoots and cook to taste. The details depend on your craftsmanship. Xiao Yu said with a smile.
Xiao Yucheng entertained guests in the hall, and the two sisters ate lunch in the east room.
Xiao Yu couldn't wait to taste the sour bamboo shoot fish, the soup was thick and sour, the fish was tender and delicious, and couldn't help but squint her eyes with satisfaction: "It's delicious!" My sister's cooking skills are getting better and better! ”
Xiao Pei also tasted it, and said: "With sour bamboo shoots, this fish seems to be fresher, and it is really appetizing to eat in summer." ”
After the meal, Xiao Yu came out to clean up the dishes and chopsticks in the hall, Qin Guangyu was full of praise for this sour bamboo shoot fish, and also saw the business opportunity, and directly proposed to order sour bamboo shoots from Xiao's family.
Xiao Yu and the others had already thought about it, and they wanted to sell it horizontally and vertically, so it was better to give Xiao Yucheng's classmates a favor, and naturally they should inherit it. After a while, Xiao Yu and Qin Guangyu agreed on the price of fifty wen per catty.
Because the Xiao family doesn't have many finished sour bamboo shoots now, it takes time to make them. Qin Guangyu agreed to come and pick up the goods in half a month, first ordered for half a year, and then set up a note with Xiao Yu as a basis, and the prepayment was consistent.
With the fairy grass jelly pearl jade in front, this price doesn't feel too expensive.
And Xiao Yu said: "Don't look at the sour bamboo shoots are still rare now, but their raw materials can be seen at a glance, and the production is also very simple, it won't take long for others to figure it out, and then it won't be able to sell at any price." However, it takes more than ten days to make, so it's better for us to soak more now, and it's enough to sell it for a few months. It's just that I have to go and buy a good jar in the afternoon. ”
So in the afternoon, the three of them took shovels and baskets to dig bamboo shoots behind the slope.
There are only two families in this vicinity, the Xiao family and Uncle Zhou Qi, and the bamboo forest is rarely visited. Several people moved back and forth several times, and only after digging four or five hundred catties did they take a breath, and they were so tired that they couldn't straighten their waists. But no one saw it. In the evening, when they went to buy the jar and came back, it was dark, and the three of them entered the house like thieves, unloading the jar, Xiao Yucheng went to return the ox cart, Xiao Pei cooked, and Xiao Yu peeled bamboo shoots in the hall.
During the meal, Xiao Yu proposed to invite Uncle Zhou Qi's family to come over and make sour bamboo shoots together, and give them 30% of the profits at that time. Not to mention that the Seventh Uncle's family usually does their best to help in farming, after all, they are neighbors next to the wall, and it is inconvenient to hide so many bamboo shoots.
Xiao Pei and Xiao Yucheng naturally agreed.
Hearing about such a lucrative matter, Uncle Zhou's family was very grateful and gladly came over to help. Coincidentally, Hao Jun came the next day, and he helped dig bamboo shoots without saying a word, he had a lot of strength, and one person could dig it for everyone to peel the shell uninterruptedly. Fortunately, this bamboo shoot does not need to be sliced, so it will not be very laborious. Xiao Yu also took the opportunity to ask Hao Jun to help buy dozens of large jars at dusk.
The crowd was busy for several days, digging up nearly half of the bamboo shoots in the large bamboo forest behind the slope before filling fifty large jars and filling the east and west houses.
Xiao Yu waved his hand: "Everyone rest for a few days first." ”
Uncle Zhou Qi and others all laughed and said that the second sister was very dominant.
Recently, Xiu Mu Qin Guangyu came to check the situation again, and he also met Hao Jun. Xiao Yu deliberately caught a bamboo herring and gave the two of them wine.
When the dish was served, Qin Guangyu stood up in surprise: "Isn't this the fresh bamboo herring that crosses the river?" ”
Xiao Yu said yes with a smile.
Next to him, his personal attendant An Mo also knew this fish, and he was dumbfounded. Do these farmers know how to cook this fish?
"If Second Miss Xiao catches a lot next time, can you consider selling a few tails to the Drunken Immortal Residence?" Qin Guangyu hesitated for a moment, but still said.
The attendant originally thought that most of the Xiao family had caught such a piece of luck, but he couldn't help but pout when he heard his son-in-law's words. How many tails? If it was so easy to catch, it wouldn't be so expensive!
Sure enough, I heard Xiao Yu say with a smile: "It's just a fluke, and I actually think about it." If Cheng Jiyan really gets it again next time, he will have to send it to your account. ”
Xiao Yucheng next to him twitched slightly when he heard this.
Xiao Yu caught several bamboo herring, how can it be called a fluke?
Hao Jun looked at the table full of delicacies next to him, coughed and reminded: "This fish is fishy when it is cold, so let's eat first." ”
Xiao Yu pursed her lips and smiled, said slowly, and still brought it into the east house with Xiao Pei to eat.
