074 Watercress chili

Not to mention Yun Ying and Qiao Mutou's respective visions of a new life, just the current sadness and joy of the Qiao family's old courtyard.

It should be said that Xiao Li is the only one who still looks sad, and the rest of the people are thinking about the fifteen taels of silver in Li's hand and start to plan painstakingly, everyone wants to get a piece of the pie, and everyone wants to touch their hands.

"That...... Mother-in-law, even if the matter of the Yuanfu examination is decided, should this silver be given to the hammer and go to Mr. tomorrow to report his name. Luo couldn't help but speak first, stretching his neck, hoping to see a hole in Li's purse of silver.

"Yes, mother. Things should be done sooner rather than later, and you have to show your face in front of Mr. first. Qiao Hammer also hurriedly added. He thinks the same thing as Roche. Everyone in the family knows the Li family's preference for Qiao Shishi's family, and now Qiao Shishi's family is going to add people to import, if they move slowly, they are afraid that fifteen taels of silver will have to go into Xiao Li's pocket.

"Mother-in-law, Yuanhui's selling money can't be moved! There are too many dirty things in the high-ranking family, if Yuanhui goes to the Li Mansion without money, I am afraid that she will be bullied to death. This silver must be brought to Yuanhui, and if there is a messenger who wants to report a letter to his home, it can be very poor. Xiao Li recognized the irretrievable fact that Qiao Yuanhui was sold, wiped away his tears and cheered up to seek benefits for his daughter.

She wanted to benefit Qiao Yuanhui, but the Luo family would definitely not agree. If she succeeds, the five taels of silver in Li's hand will definitely not be taken out to Qiao Yuanfu, and Luo is still counting on having five taels of silver to add to his head, and finally he can leave a private money of one or two taels. Immediately, he sneered and said, "Sister-in-law." Have you watched too much drama? The Li family can ask everywhere what they do to their subordinates. Yuanhui is here to enjoy happiness, but not to the dire water, what can he do with the silver? What should she do if her child loses it? ”

"I'm not a child, and I won't lose my money!" Qiao Yuanhui couldn't listen to others looking down on her, so she pushed back without hesitation, and reached out to hold Xiao Li's hand and instructed: "Mother, since my daughter has entered the Li Mansion, she will definitely become a big girl, and take half a penny of silver every month to honor you and my father." I will let my milk take the money from selling my body, and let your brother take the test in the future. Be an official. ”

"It's still our family Hui'er who is sensible." Hearing this, Li couldn't help but pull the corners of his clothes and gather the corners of his eyes. glanced at Roche: "Just you spirits!" Ming'er asked your father to take the silver to the academy and ask Mr. to go, how much silver does your father know the arrangement. One sentence blocked Luo's selfishness, so that Qiao Hammer had nothing to do, as long as he nodded his head.

Xiao Li knew in his heart that as long as the silver was in Li's hands. Sooner or later, it would have been her family's. immediately took Qiao Yuanhui's hand and went back to the room. It is estimated that I want to grasp the skills I learned to be a maid and carefully teach them on this day.

Luo was originally prepared to sit on the ground and cry if the Li family really gave the silver to Qiao Yuanhui, but he didn't want Qiao Yuanhui to push away the ten taels of silver with a word, leaving her preparation in the empty space. I almost vomited blood.

After the sun set and rose again, Qiao Chengyin had already taken his two sons, two grandsons and Qiao Yuanhui to stand at the side door of the Li Mansion in the alley; A group of people have not set foot in this rich area much, and they are shy when they knock on the door, as if they have done something wrong.

Squeak-

The small red lacquer door opened, and an old man in his fifties came out, squinting his eyes and looking at everyone, and then lazily asked who he was looking for.

At this time, after a little more time in the town, Qiao Hammer showed benefits, stepped forward and saluted, and then pointed to Qiao Yuanhui and said about Li Changhai's arrival in the village yesterday, and kept another page of the signed deed of sale and sent it away.

"Little master?" The old man at the gate pinched the page in his hand and raised it: "The little young master was discovered by the master yesterday for skipping class, and he was sent to the county seat to find the eldest young master overnight." There is such a thing as buying and selling slaves, but the little master has always cared about it. The implication is that this copy of the deed of sale may be forged.

Qiao Hammer was so talkative, and the old man suddenly remembered, "Since you said that the young master went with Mama Liu yesterday, then I will help you spread the word, Mama Liu will wait a few days to go to the capital with the young ladies, and she is now in the house." ”

"That's a good idea, thank you for this uncle." Qiao Yuanhui didn't feel worried at all, and squeezed to the front to salute the old man, looking decent.

After a while, Mother Liu walked out with the two little maids, and at a glance she saw Qiao Yuanhui, who was very smart, and said secretly in her heart: No wonder the young master never forgot to leave me in the house for a while when he left, it turns out that this girl looks so thoughtful!

Thinking that maybe Qiao Yuanhui could become the person on the tip of Li Changhai's heart in the future, maybe she could still get an aunt or something, and Liu's mother smiled with a little enthusiasm: "This is the Qiao family Yuanhui girl, not bad." The young master ordered, you come to the Li family to be a maid, whatever name you want, you don't have to take it again with these maids of the Li family. Now that the young master is not in the mansion, how about my mother arrange for you to go to Miss Yinfeng's side to be a third-class maid first? Two hundred dollars a month, it's enough to buy some needles and threads. ”

The latter sentence is naturally said to the family who sent Qiao Yuanhui here, Liu's mother didn't see what the "Yunying" in Li Changhai's mouth looked like yesterday, but she just heard Li Changhai say that she was quite sympathetic to her experience, and tried her best to help her, so that her family members who had no conscience knew that she would live well in the future.

Hearing such treatment, Qiao Yuanhui's eyes lit up, and the matter of changing the name and surname that the Li family was most worried about before was solved so easily, Qiao Yuanhui was even more satisfied, and immediately blessed Liu's mother: "Since I have been a maid of the Li Mansion, then I don't need my previous surname, and from now on, Yuanhui still needs her mother to take care of her." ”

Yuanhui?! Mother Liu was stunned, and then thought that Yun Ying came in with this name, presumably the two sisters changed their names since then. sighed, carefully looked at Qiao Yuanhui's figure, and sighed again What kind of eyes did Li Changhai have, this girl is obviously white and tender, where is black and thin; But it's rare for a ten-year-old girl to grow so tall.

"Alright, you all go back." Mother Liu put down the doubts in her heart, sent away the men of the Qiao family who didn't dare to come out of the door, and instructed the two little maids behind her to lead Yuanhui to wash and change clothes first, and then send them to a special mother to learn the rules, and a lot of things are still waiting in front of Yuanhui.

Waiting in front of Yun Ying was a large pile of cyan Erjin bar chili peppers, which were the first batch sent to Zhenweiju today. In order to cover up these things so that others would not ask questions, Qiaoqi's ox cart came in the middle of the night.

"Green pepper shredded pork, back to the pot meat, green pepper scrambled eggs, fried shrimp and crab, vegetarian green pepper? ......" Liu Er's shopkeeper reached out and took a chili pepper in his hand, and looked at the recipe brought by Yun Ying with his other hand, and couldn't help but pause when he read "vegetarian green pepper", "What is a vegetarian green pepper?" ”

"As the name suggests, of course, it's a vegetarian dish. There's so much you can do to write about it. For example, you can shred and fry eggplant, you can dry fry it into tiger skin chili, you can fry it with lentils...... "Actually, Yun Ying really wanted to say green pepper shredded potatoes, but helplessly, she had inquired about potatoes a few times, and Liu Er's shopkeeper looked blank, and no one should have planted and eaten it yet."

"Oh, I can try this slowly, but there are only about a hundred catties of green peppers here, will it be gone before I try it?" Yun Ying shocked Liu Er too much, and he was almost immune now; Yun Ying said that he could eat it, he would definitely find all the ingredients and try them one by one, and his enthusiasm for studying dishes is above all else. Thinking of the new food that he had just tried, he couldn't help but want to show his face in front of Yun Yingman, and beckoned to the little apprentice, "Go, bring the snacks I fried on the stove to Yun Ying to taste." ”

Yun Ying was also depressed in her heart that she had delayed for almost three days, Guan Ping alone had not done any farm work, and she picked such a little bit in more than two days, and the sun was shining these days, and the chili peppers that Guan Ping brought home this morning had already turned a little red sauce, is it only dried chili peppers and ground chili noodles?

"Here, you must not have eaten this, have you? Someone in the capital planted this, and it tasted good, but it was a little toothy. Liu Er pushed the small plate in front of Yun Ying and reminded Yun Ying, who was in a fugue, to eat the contents of the plate.

Yun Ying grabbed a small handful, put one in her mouth, knocked it open, chewed, and was still thinking about what to do with the remaining chili peppers in her head, soaking chili peppers is a method, but she always felt that there was something important that she didn't expect.

"Ouch! I'll just say that I can't eat this hard bean with my teeth, my teeth are about to break me. ”

Yun Ying was taken aback by Liu Er's exaggerated tone, "No, you broke your teeth after eating two beans?" If you like to eat it, next time you add water and boil it, and then bring it cold ......" Yun Ying suddenly stopped talking halfway through speaking, and her eyes lit up suddenly.

The "Hu Bean" in her mouth is also called broad bean. It can be eaten raw or cooked, but the main thing is that it can also be combined with chili peppers to create one of the most indispensable seasonings of the cuisine: watercress!

In the recipe she gave Liu Er before, all the places where watercress should be used were replaced by "finely chopped and salted chili peppers", but that was when she thought that Tengyun Dynasty did not have broad beans, but now it is different, since Liu Er can give her a plate of fried beans, then he will definitely be able to find more for her!

Thinking of this, Yun Ying jumped down from the chair and pulled Liu Er's sleeve excitedly: "Hu Dou! Where did it come from? How many? ”

"What beans?" Liu Er still had an unchewed bean wrapped in his mouth, and his speech was a little slurred.

Yun Ying was not ambiguous, and stretched out her hand to point to the table: "This!" You give me this, and I'll give you the most commonly used seasoning in heaven and on earth! ”

"There's such a seasoning?" Liu Er's shopkeeper followed Yun Ying's fingers and looked at the inconspicuous Hu Dou on the table. (To be continued......)
