Cui Ling said excitedly, "Grandmother, I know what to do with this boatload of chili peppers!" ”

The old lady was actually a little worried before.

It's not that I feel sorry for the silver, Mo said that Yuan Dalang didn't spend a lot of money to buy a whole boatload of chili peppers, but he really bought it with a lot of money, and she didn't take it seriously.

The Yuan family of the Zhenguo General's Mansion has always been very luxurious in food and clothing, and it is not bad for this little money.

It's just that she is old, and even if the gold and silver in the treasury are piled up, she is not willing to waste things at will.

A whole boat!

Just the fifth daughter-in-law in the family uses it to eat vegetables, and I am afraid that I will not be able to eat it in a few lifetimes.

But this chili pepper is a rare thing in Shengjing, this taste is spicy and domineering, and there are probably not many people who can love to eat this.

It was she who wanted to give the rest to others, and no one wanted it.

At this time, I heard Cui Ling say that there was a way, and the old lady was interested.

She hurriedly asked, "What good ideas does the little fifth daughter-in-law have, let's hear about it?" ”

Cui Ling did not hesitate, and first told the old lady about her idea of opening a spicy restaurant with her second sister-in-law.

She crossed her fingers and said, "I have inquired with Master Tang, and I can just get the silver needed for a restaurant in Shengjing City." ”

After hesitating for a while, she still whispered in the old lady's ear, "When I got married, in addition to the private house given by my grandfather, my father also secretly stuffed a lot of silver, saying that I should use it for my body, there are so many!" ”

As she spoke, she mysteriously compared the numbers.

The old lady felt that this child had no heart at all, and although she was happy, she was also a little disapproving.

An ordinary daughter-in-law enters the door. How much private money is hidden tightly, for fear that people will know about it.

But she's fine. In front of so many mothers-in-law and girls in the house, he pocketed his bottom out.

Although the servants and girls in Tai'an Courtyard are all intimate people she carefully selected. No one dared to reveal the slightest bit of what was said in this room.

But the simple and honest nature of the little fifth daughter-in-law is an advantage in front of her own family, and it is too dangerous to go out.

The old lady reluctantly knocked off her hand that was drawing numbers, "You have this heart for your second sister-in-law, and grandmother is very happy." ”

She paused slightly, "If you want to open a restaurant specializing in spicy dishes, I won't stop you." It just so happened that our house had a very large shop at the corner of the downtown on East Street, and it was just collected a few days ago. I'll leave it to you. Just ......"

Cui Ling blinked and looked at the old lady.

The old lady pondered for a moment but said, "It's just the matter of opening a restaurant, you can't just ask your second sister-in-law to become a shareholder." ”

She smiled and said, "Little fifth daughter-in-law, you have four sisters-in-law!" It's a good thing that you have the heart to take care of your second sister-in-law, but if you let the other few people fail, aren't you afraid that they will be sad? ”

Whether it is the lord of Yining, the Lian family, or even Su Zi's painting. None of them are short of money.

But sometimes, it's not just about money.

Cui Ling nodded as if pounding garlic, "It's still grandmother who thinks thoughtfully." If you really have this plan, you can't miss the eldest sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law. ”

She said happily, "That's it." Can you solve the small half-boat pepper? ”

The old lady smiled and asked, "Then there is still more than half a boat!" ”

Cui Ling said busily. "Isn't Empress Jiang going to recruit high-quality cotton clothes and furs for the soldiers who are far away in the northwest?"

She folded her fingers and looked very serious. "I'm thinking, spicy dishes have the function of warming the body, and the northwest is cold, if the soldiers can drink a bowl of fragrant hot and sour soup, it must be warm immediately."

The old lady thought of what kind of spicy pork knuckle Xiao Liang and Mama Du were greedy for that day, but as soon as they tasted it, they were so spicy that their faces were flushed.

Mama Du immediately discouraged, but Xiao Liang couldn't stop shouting.

When he finished eating, the white and pure little fence not only had red cheeks and swollen lips, but also burst into tears.

It's so spicy that I'm sweating all over.

The old lady thought about it, and couldn't help but feel that this was a very good idea.

Cui Ling saw a satisfied smile on the old lady's face, so she continued, "I think it should be sun-dried chili peppers that have been transported back from overseas after a long journey, and this thing is also easy to carry, and it can also be pounded into sauce." ”

She gestured, "Grandmother, you think, sometimes the march and war are not so particular, with chili sauce, even if you eat it with dry buns, it will taste good." ”

The old lady felt that it made sense, so she smiled and nodded, "This is a good idea, I will call your eldest brother in and discuss it later." ”

She paused, "But since you want to send the peppers to the northwest, then you will be close to the sergeants first, what do you say, little fifth daughter-in-law?" ”

There are priorities.

The matter of opening a restaurant, compared with the problem of keeping the soldiers in the northwest cold, has to step back.

What's more, opening a spicy restaurant sounds simple, but it's not easy to do at all.

Even if there is a shop, it will take time to repair it.

Choosing the shopkeeper and chef and drawing up the menu is not something that can be done in a moment.

Of course, Cui Ling could tell the difference, and said with a smile, "Take your time in the restaurant, don't worry." ”

Anyway, now that I know that there is a certain domestic pepper outside the South China Sea, the price is still very cheap, as long as I ask the people who run the sea to buy it, it won't be long before I can pull another boat back.

This is a long-term thing, and there is really no rush for a while.

When it was time for Shen, Cui Ling was in the kitchen watching Master Liu and Master Tang busy.

Although Xiao Liang was spicy once, the spicier it was, the more fascinated he was by this heavy dish, so he joined in the fun.

In the kitchen, because of the chili peppers that Yuan Dalang had newly sent to make up, Master Liu made a bold move.

After a while, a fragrant and choking smell wafted from the room.

With a light cough, a small fleshy figure appeared at the kitchen door.

Cui Ling hurriedly shouted, "Brother Yu'er stop! It's so spicy here, you have to smoke your eyes, you go outside, and the fifth aunt will come out immediately. ”

Unexpectedly, Yuan Yu shrunk his nose and rubbed his eyes, but he still strode in.

He said coolly, "A manly man, I can't even stand this little spicy." What other big things can you do in the future? ”

Cui Ling was speechless, but she knew. Don't look at Brother Yu'er's small person, the idea is big.

He had to come in and join in the fun. With her, she can't be driven away.

I had no choice but to pull him to the window, where the air was relatively fresh.

Brother Yu asked, "Didn't you say what you want to do with salt and pepper pig's feet?" How do you put chili peppers again? ”

Cui Ling said with a smile, "I asked Master Liu to make one each, to send spicy ones to those who love chili peppers, and to send salt-and-pepper flavors to those who can't eat them, so that you can have the best of both worlds." ”

She is now very attached to the people of the Yuan family.

Treating her family, she can't bear to take care of one or the other.

So just make two servings. No matter what the taste, you can take it into account.

When Brother Yu heard this, his heart warmed.

Not long after, the two pots of pig's feet were baked, and the aroma in the room was so compelling that people made their index fingers move when they smelled it.

Xiao Fence was happy, and kept shouting, "Oh, it smells so good." I'm drooling! ”

In the big kitchen, there is something called warmth, and the more choking it is, the happier it is.

Early in the morning of the second day. Because she wanted to congratulate Empress Jiang on her birthday, the family of the Zhenguo General's Mansion got up early in the morning.

The old lady and the Liang family have a fate, and they both wear court clothes according to their rank.

The lord of Yining is a golden branch and jade leaf. He was wearing the color of the county lord's clothes.

Lian and Su Zi paintings, as well as Cui Ling. The three of them had no rank, and they all wore dark and solemn clothes. The bead-ringed hairpins on the heads are also dignified, graceful, and noble, but not eye-catching.

When they went out, Lao Taijun and Cui Ling sat in a car.

Cui Ling was still a little nervous, "Grandmother, it's the first time I've entered the palace, and I don't know what it's like inside......"

Although she discussed it with Su Zihua yesterday, even her grandmother agreed with her plan to pretend to be stupid and cute.

Grandmother even drew up all the possible questions of Queen Jiang for her.

But she was still nervous.

The old lady patted Cui Ling's arm, "Silly boy, grandmother knows that you have always been clever, so you just need to be improvised, so you don't need to be afraid." ”

She laughed, "Although Empress Jiang is the mother of a country and is very authoritative, it is precisely because of this that she pays more attention to her mannerisms. For the sake of Yuan Jiaerlang's blood in the northwest, she will not embarrass you. ”

Empress Jiang is a very powerful woman.

Back then, she was just a daughter from the Ministry of Industry, but her intelligence and scheming pressed the concubines of those princes and daughters on the soles of her feet.

She is good at attacking the heart and is very good at winning people's hearts.

If it weren't for such a virtuous helper, the emperor would not have been able to ascend the throne and become the emperor so smoothly.

It is precisely because of this that Queen Jiang cherishes feathers even more.

If it weren't for the disgust of her, it would be too late for her to accumulate a good name, how could she easily embarrass the new daughter-in-law of the meritorious general's family?

Although the desire to let go is indispensable, it is not a good thing to be overly nervous.

Cui Ling had the comfort of the old lady and felt a little more steady.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Grandmother, will you be able to see Yue'er today?" ”

Ever since she entered the gate of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, she has often heard people linking her with Yuan Yue'er.

said that they looked a little alike.

said that they are also average.

The subordinates below don't say it, just the old lady has already mentioned it several times.

Whether it is out of closeness to the niece of the Yuan family, or curiosity to know what kind of person Yuan Yue'er is.

Cui Ling really wanted to see her.

But Yuan Yue'er is reading to the eldest princess.

Even on the wedding day of her uncle Yuan Wulang, the palace did not let her come back.

It's like a royal hostage.

Cui Ling just wanted to get to know and make friends with this girl who was rumored to be very similar to her, but she didn't have a chance.

And today, it is Queen Jiang's birthday.

Princess Changling, who is a daughter, will definitely congratulate Queen Jiang on her birthday, right?

Does that mean that she can meet Yue'er?

The old lady was also looking forward to it, but she didn't dare to nod in certainty.

Even the last time Xiaoda got married, Yue'er couldn't go back home, who knows what excuse there will be this time?

If it weren't for Yuan Dalang, he would have had the opportunity to see his daughter every once in a while.

The old lady really wants to wonder if something happened to her favorite eldest granddaughter.

Thinking like this, she couldn't help but sigh deeply, "Let's see! (To be continued......)
