058 Chili shot
The reason why Yun Ying is so sure is, of course, because of the large scale of the pepper slope on the West Mountain. After her careful hoeing, fertilization and insect catching, this pepper field can harvest at least hundreds of catties. Except for the harvest of the vegetable field in Jia's Courtyard, almost all the chili peppers on the West Mountain can be sent to Zhenweiju for silver. Moreover, in this mountain col, Yun Ying also collected a small number of dried chili peppers that fell to the ground last year, ground into powder, cut into small pieces, and can be stored for a long time.
She didn't hide all the money she got from Li Changhai, and handed over three taels to Gu Banniang, under the pretext of course, she ran into the young master of the Li family and snatched it when she saw that the feather shuttlecock was fun, and as a result, she threw down this "thing". In front of Gu Banniang and Qiao Mutou, Yun Ying was still the silly girl from the countryside who had never seen what the silver was. So Gu Banniang received it very comfortably, but she was quite generous afterwards, and it was finally no longer gruel on the dinner table, and she could occasionally see dry flour cakes. Knowing that Yun Ying would clean the pigs in the water, Gu Banniang would occasionally bring back a pair of embroidery for the family to change their taste.
The days passed in such an orderly manner, and the first batch of peppers had turned red, and it was rare that the species was not a single variety, which was divided into two gold bars and Chaotian peppers, which just allowed Yun Ying to gather six things, and pick up some of them and put them in the back basket to hike to the town as soon as possible, because there was a goal, and he didn't stop twice along the way.
The back door of Zhenweiju was open as usual, and as soon as Yun Ying appeared at the door, someone notified Liu Er's shopkeeper in the kitchen, and as soon as she put the back basket on the ground, Liu Er's fat body "rolled" out of the house, and far away, his voice was higher than ordinary people's octaves louder: "Yun Ying's girl." Did you bring a pheasant today? Last time you said that the red stewed chicken, I tried to make it twice, and I always felt that the taste was a little worse. ”
"It's not that bad. It should be a little more, right? "In this era, no one adds chili peppers as an ingredient, and if you want to be spicy, you have to put pepper in it. It is conceivable that the spicy taste is there, and the pungency in it is enough to bear.
Since she had chili powder and dried chili peppers, Yun Ying purposefully "cranky" when buying and selling prey, those two ideas can always make Liu Er's eyes shine, and the new products made are successful, but there are also failures, and they are a little unwilling to lose.
"Hehe, since you know everything, why are you here to entertain the second uncle? How. Could it be that you went back and tried to do it? Is it so spicy that you have a hard time going to the toilet? Liu Er sneered gloatingly, without the slightest awareness of treating nine-year-old Yun Ying as a girl, he was so arrogant and easy to get along with.
Of course, Yun Ying would not pretend to be shy outside, and retorted generously: "Presumably Second Uncle Liu is suffering from it." But I'm not as stupid as you, I added something else, the taste is better than pepper, and the side effects are not as exaggerated as you say. ”
"What's that?" As a chef, he has a natural desire to chase new ingredients, so he began to shrug his nose and lift the tattered clothes that shaded Yun Ying's back basket before he asked Yun Ying.
"Poisonous red fruit?" Liu Er's shopkeeper exclaimed in surprise after seeing the contents of the basket clearly. Then he looked Yun Ying up and down: "Did you really eat the poisonous red fruit?" Isn't there any discomfort? ”
Yun Ying estimates that people who try to eat chili peppers are estimated to eat chili peppers as snacks directly, and maybe they also happened to choose Chaotian peppers, otherwise Tengyun Chao people would not talk about "poisonous red fruits" and change color. Hurriedly shook his head: "How ugly the poisonous red fruit is." I renamed it 'Chili', and I don't want anyone to eat it, I just use it in my dishes. I didn't eat it directly. ”
"I heard that this poisonous red fruit was brought to Asahi City by a prince of Mochizuki Kingdom back then, who knows that it won't be long before this Asahi City becomes our Tengyun Dynasty. And some of them took the fruit of the poisonous red fruit and ate it, and who knew that all those who ate of it were like eating a fire. In the end, it was considered a detoxification after drinking a stomach of water, but then it took two days to pull the stomach, so of course, the people of Tengyun Dynasty stayed away. "Liu Er's shopkeeper has traveled all over the country and seen a lot of rare things, and in the past few months of friendship with Yun Ying, he knows that although this little girl is young, she is talented, and she is also quite disciplined in speaking and doing things, and she will never fight an uncertain battle, since Yun Ying said so, then she must be sure that the poisonous red fruit can really be entered.
Liu Er's shopkeeper remembered the situation reported by the person sent to Lijia Village to investigate. There is nothing suspicious about the Qiao family, but the identity of the Guan family's mother and son is extremely intriguing. The people sent could only find out that their husband and wife had settled in Lijia Village in the thirteenth year, and the dead Guan Orion was not simple, and the Jia family was not an ordinary village girl and fool. Just ask, how can parents who can teach an 11-year-old child mortal? Of course, there is the teaching of the master of the academy, but according to Guan Ping's master's inquiry, Guan Ping was enlightened by the Jia family, and many of Guan Ping's knowledge was also taught by the Jia family, so it is naturally not abrupt that such a woman can teach a female student like Yun Ying.
Fortunately, the investigation also showed that the Jia family should be from the capital, and they have nothing to do with Mochizuki Country; Otherwise, Liu Er's shopkeeper would not have continued to deal with Yun Ying so reassuringly.
Fortunately, although there is no rapeseed oil in Lijia Village, the kitchen of Zhenweiju does. Yun Ying almost jumped up when she saw it, and when she asked, she knew that this "Zhenwei Oil" was now only the only oil used by Zhenwei Ju, which came from the Mochizuki Country on the side of the border city, and there was no way to know what it was made of.
Mochizuki Country! In Yunying's heart, it has become a peculiar country. Peppers, rapeseed oil, corn, potatoes, tomatoes, sweet potatoes...... What do these imported products have to do with Mochizuki Country?
Seeing that Yun Ying was stunned, Liu Er's shopkeeper couldn't help urging: "What are Yun Ying doing in a daze?" But I don't know how to eat this precious oil, come and come, it's your good luck to meet Second Uncle Liu, otherwise no one really knows that this precious oil must wait until the foam on it spreads before it can be cooked, otherwise it will always have a raw smell, but it can't be too hot, otherwise it will ignite a fire......"
Under the chattering teaching of Liu Er's shopkeeper, Yun Ying "clumsy" but methodically used the incomparably precious "Zhenwei Oil" in the eyes of others to adjust the chili oil used in the cold salad, chopped the two gold bars of chili peppers to make Tengyun Dynasty's first pot of authentic red stewed chicken, green pepper shredded meat.
After tasting Yun Ying's dishes made with chili peppers one by one, Liu Er's shopkeeper sighed at his mouth that was conquered by the spicy taste, wiped away the hot sweat on his face, and shouted "Okay" fiercely. Her eyes were shining, and she looked at Yun Ying with deep meaning: "What business does the girl want to do with Second Uncle Liu?" In fact, he wanted to say if the Jia family asked Yun Ying to come, after all, it will be the autumn season in another month, even if Guan Ping is one of the best in the academy in terms of knowledge, but if he wants to go to Asahi City smoothly for reference, the cost is not something that ordinary rural people can take, and the Jia family naturally has to think of a way for this.
Second Uncle Liu said it very well. Our family now has 600 catties of this chili pepper, and they can all be sold to the Zhenweiju family, and I also believe that Second Uncle Liu will not treat Yunying badly. Yun Ying was slightly embarrassed under his burning gaze, touched the scars that must be added every day at the end of his eyebrows, and thought that he had accidentally wiped them off when he was cooking just now.
"The girl should always have a number in her heart, right? How much is a pound of this chili? Liu Er's shopkeeper touched his fat chin, he can make his own decisions about the business within 1,000 taels, depending on Jia's appetite.
Before coming to Yunying, even if Guan Ping wanted to qualify among the hundred or so people in the hundred academies, he would definitely have to move up and down with silver, and it was expected to be five taels; The travel expenses and accommodation to the county seat for ten days add up to at least ten taels; In case you need to socialize in the exam, you have to plan five taels; Finally, prepare ten taels for emergencies; and all of them were thirty taels of silver.
Although the date of going to the capital is far away, Yun Ying also plans to make an extra profit on the first year's chili peppers, and when others know that the poisonous red fruit is a chili pepper, it must be planted in the entire Baijiaji and even Asahi City, who knows how many years of silver will be earned in the future? Therefore, for the sake of the capital, she will not make a move without three hundred taels of silver and six hundred catties of chili peppers.
Yun Ying stretched out three fingers, these days for these peppers, and she didn't want to interrupt Yuangen's learning and deprive Man'er of childhood, she was all working alone under the scorching sun, and her fingers stretched out black and shiny.
Liu Er's shopkeeper looked at her skinny body again, although he felt that it was a little expensive, but he still couldn't help but feel a wave of pity in his heart, and he couldn't help himself: "Second Uncle Liu can't be the master of three thousand taels of silver, otherwise you go back and ask, and let you meet my eldest brother another day." ”
Yun Ying's mouth opened into a round "O" shape, and then shook her head violently: "It's not three thousand taels, it's three hundred taels." "To be honest in business, 300 taels is equal to 300,000 yuan in the future, not to mention 600 catties of chili peppers, even 60,000 catties can be easily bought home.
Liu Er's shopkeeper also breathed a sigh of relief, even if Jia's was not too carried away, after thinking about it, he also added the price code to Yunying: "This first year's chili pepper is the only one in your family, and it doesn't hurt if the price is high, this price is also appropriate." And your family's recipe for cooking this chili, if you can make more than ten dishes, I will give you two hundred taels of silver to add five hundred taels. Yun Ying made four chili dishes just now, and he believed that there was more than that. The master once said that sending charcoal in the snow is far better than icing on the cake, Guan Ping and military advisors like Yun Ying and Jia are behind them, and the future is limitless, and it is always good to come over.
Five hundred taels! It has exceeded Yunying's plan a lot. Menu? Although she is not a chef, there is no shortage of dishes in her mind, and ten recipes are not at her fingertips!
However, she didn't show any ecstatic on her face, but wrinkled her brows and thought about it for a long time, and only when Liu Er's shopkeeper couldn't help but want to increase the price again, she nodded and said, "Deal!" I have one more request, though. (To be continued......)
