A small back yard with a small log table and five small wooden chairs.

Jia Qiang smiled: "I'm afraid this is the most humble host you've ever eaten, right?" But it doesn't matter, and the delicious food you eat today will not disappoint you. Especially Brother Feng and Brother Xue. ”

Baoyu giggled on the side, feeling that this kind of practice of taking off the shackles of etiquette without seniority made him feel happy.

Jia Qiang said a little apologetically: "Baoyu and Qiguan are afraid that they won't be able to enjoy themselves, you should both like Zhongping's delicious food, and the ones you use today are a little ......."

Baoyu smiled indifferently and said, "What's the problem with eating?" It's not an old glutton. ”

Qi Guan also bowed his head and said: "I'm even more boring, because I want to nourish my throat, and I have to be careful to avoid salt on weekdays." So don't bother with us ......"

Jia Qiang smiled: "I expected this, so I prepared something else for you." ”

As he spoke, he nodded to Liu Daniu standing at the screen door.

Liu Daniu smiled and turned around and walked out of the screen door, and after a while, I saw her come over with a tray, there were two coarse porcelain plates on the tray, but there were two small bowls on the coarse porcelain plate, although they were not luxurious, but they were more exquisite.

The bowl contains a variety of fruits such as watermelon, apples, pears, and sour plums cut into the right size, stirred together, and served with smoothies and milk.

Although there is still some distance from the ice cream of later generations, it is not far away......

The fragrance of all kinds of fruits was mixed together, and the sweet and sour and cold breath greeted them, which made Baoyu and Qi Guan's expressions clear, and their eyes lit up.

Xue Pan looked at his greed and said, "Why do the two of them have it, my old Xue's?" ”

Jia Qiang smiled: "Don't worry, the two of them are like girls, so give them these." Let's eat some of the gentlemen's food, and enjoy it. ”

Without waiting for Xue Pan to say anything, Feng Ziying was curious: "Brother Qiang, can you still get ice from the ice storage of the Guogong Mansion?" ”

Large families in the north usually start to take ice from the glacier in the winter months and place it in the ice cellar.

If the scale is large, tens of thousands of pieces of ice can be hidden at a time.

For the smaller, there are thousands of dollars.

Because of the scorching summer heat, it is often difficult to use most of the Tibetan ice, and only 30% of it is available.

So even in large households, ice is not openly supplied.

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "No, I used an ancient recipe to get it." ”

Feng Ziying's eyes lit up obviously, and she said with a smile: "I have also seen from ancient books such as "The Song Dynasty Meeting" that the Song people are good at making ice with saltpeter. It's just that after the Southern Song Dynasty, the barbarians invaded the south, and in the hundreds of years of warfare, most of the essence of the predecessors was lost, and the secret recipe for saltpeter ice making was also lost. Although some people have used their brains to make ice from raw nitrate, it is either difficult to make ice, or it is also toxic to make a little ice. Unexpectedly, Brother Qiang could get the ancient recipe. With this alone, Brother Qiang will be able to make money every day in the future. ”

Jia Qiang shook her head and smiled: "How can it be so easy, that is, in the Tang and Song dynasties, the palace and Shixun's house are still mainly digging ice cellars. If you want to make a large-scale saltpeter ice, the cost is greater than digging an ice cellar, which is not cost-effective. Although he has a way to purify and make ice, it is better not to publicize this secret recipe too early.

Hearing Jia Qiang say this, Feng Ziying only nodded and smiled, and didn't say much about it, he said with a straight face: "Brother Qiang, my relationship with the third child of the Dong family is really not bad, if my uncle's family wants to go back to the dock, I can talk about it in the middle, and I won't interfere." ”

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "If Brother Feng can say this, I have already confessed my feelings." It's just that the one who sent the message to the Dong family was the one from the East Mansion, so why did Brother Feng bother to get involved in this matter? The relationship between the Ning Mansion and your Mansion is not bad. On top of that, my uncle's family doesn't need to go back to the docks to work as coolies right now. ”

When Feng Ziying heard this, she sighed: "Brother Qiang's fruit is very different from the original...... Okay, but if you change your mind, feel free to find me. A little thing can't delay the relationship between the Ning Mansion and my Feng family. ”

At this moment, Xue Pan suddenly twitched his nose a few times, and wondered: "What kind of smell, such a fragrant fragrance?" ”

After a while, I saw Liu Daniu coming in with a large tray, and a bunch of meat skewers made of iron skewers were placed on the tray.

This skewer is completely different from the barbecue you have seen in the past, and it exudes a strong spicy smell.

In this world where noble families and most scholars pay attention to the upright and peaceful way of eating, such a spicy and pungent smell is really rare.

After all, spiciness, in fact, is a kind of pain.

But as Jia Qiang said before, this is a taste that men who like excitement will love!

When the tray was placed on the wooden table, after Feng Ziying thanked Liu Daniu, she saw Jia Qiang pick up three skewers of barbecue, and each of the three of them got a skewer.

In the mouth, there is a rich exotic spicy aroma, and even the undisguised smell of mutton has become an indispensable part of the tempting smell.

Chew it, and the tender lamb gravy is combined with the stimulation of cumin and pepper......

"It's really cool!!"

Xue Pan sucked hotly, but shouted happily.

On weekdays, he tosses and turns just for excitement, but now it's so exciting, isn't it enjoyable?

Feng Ziying is also a heroic young man, eating this barbecue is more than ten times more delicious than boiling meat dipped in salt on weekdays, how can you not love it?

On the side, Jia Baoyu and Qi Guan quietly moved their chairs back, obediently, this thing......

Qi Guan is a famous singer in the pear orchard who sings Danjiao, and all his skills are in his throat, and he doesn't dare to eat more salt on weekdays, how dare he eat these?

Baoyu is because she thinks that she has a girl-like character, how can she eat such tiger and wolf food as sea chewing?

Jia Qiang asked Liu Daniu to tell her uncle Liu Laoshi to roast a few skewers of barbecue without peppers and cumin, and let Baoyu and Qiguan taste it.

Feng Ziying and Xue Pan ate more than a dozen skewers of barbecue in a row, and when they saw Aunt Chun send a plate of cold watermelon, they were immediately more popular.

After chewing and eating a few plates of iced watermelon, Xue Pan and Feng Ziying stopped talking, they both felt a little supportive, and they were ready to rest and fight again!

After she finished it, Aunt Chun brought a wooden basin of hot water for people to clean their hands.

Baoyu and Qiguan ate Sven, and they wiped their hands with their own handkerchiefs.

After the rest of the people washed their hands, Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Actually, this barbecue is better with Lianghuadiao, but the younger brother is shy now and can't buy Huadiao, so he has to use ice watermelon instead." ”

Everyone laughed, praised him for his openness in their hearts, and said on their faces that it was more appropriate to eat like this.

Jia Qiang gently wiped her palm with a handkerchief, and asked with a smile: "My uncle's family lost their livelihood because of me, so I wanted to use it to make a living, but I have never learned the world and don't know the world, so I want to ask a few talents, can this job make a living?" ”

Xue Pan was very proud when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Brother Qiang, you really have good eyesight and are a person who knows people, knowing that I have erected a portal since I was ten years old, you asked the right person!" I'll tell you, this Rausch barbecue will definitely make a fortune! ”

Feng Ziying poured cold water and said: "Although it is exciting enough, it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance." Just look at Baoyu and Qiguan, ordinary high-ranking families will never eat these, because they are not in line with the way of self-cultivation. But ......" Feng Ziying paused and said with a smile: "In some places, your business can definitely be popular. ”

Jia Qiang asked, "Where is it?" ”

He naturally knows where they are, but he has no heels in those places, the water in the capital is too deep, and there are no heels to make money, especially to make a lot of money, and he doesn't know how to die......

Feng Ziying thought for a while and said: "The best place is naturally the gambling stall first, and most of the people who enter the gambling stall will not get off the stage if they don't lose." Wouldn't it be more enjoyable to be tired of gambling and accompanied by a few spicy and refreshing kebabs? The second is places like docks and inns, where there are many sects and nine streams, and all of them are also heavy in taste. In the end, it is to sell people like us who practice martial arts, the children of Wu Xun. However, if you want to sell it to our martial arts children, you must at least prepare a shop in a decent place. It just so happened that I was ...... on Bell and Drum Street."

"Huh? What doorway? The door shop I have at home is ah, if you want to use it, you can use it! ”

Before Feng Ziying finished speaking, he was robbed by Xue Pan, and what made him speechless the most was that this guy was born to give away money, and what he said was true.

Jia Qiang glanced at Feng Ziying, and then smiled with Xue Pan: "If this is not the case, I will lease the idle shop of the two brothers......"

Xue Pan was unhappy and said: "Take it to make it, what kind of silver is it?" ”

Everyone knows that Xue Pan is not a big deal, and an ordinary shop can only rent a hundred or ten taels of silver a year, but Xue Pan spent more than three or five doorshops for a year's rent on those bastards in the Jia family.

Jia Qiang thanked this sentence in his heart, and he said with a straight face: "If it's just for survival, it's okay to borrow a shop from Brother Xue and don't rent the silver." But now it's for the economy to make a living, as the saying goes, it's to make money, how can there be any reason to take advantage? Harming others and benefiting oneself is not the way to get along for a long time. ”

When Xue Pan heard this, he was stunned and said with a smile: "My old Xue really didn't recognize you in vain, Cheng, just give the rent as you say!" But at the moment, you haven't opened yet, and you can pay the rent when you have enough money to open for a month. ”

Jia Qiang didn't be polite this time, used the teacup as a wine cup, and saluted: "There are more Brother Xue." He said to Feng Ziying again: "It is enough to have a shop with Brother Xue, first, there are few people, and secondly, you should be cautious, try the water first." If it really gets bigger, it's not too late to find Brother Feng to borrow a store. ”

Feng Ziying smiled heartily: "It's easy to say! You will keep that door, Brother Qiang, waiting for you to pick it up at any time. ”

Feng Ziying is heroic and magnificent, but he is helpful and has a good character, but Jia Qiang is not the only one who can help, and the expenses must be very large, and Jia Qiang is unwilling to take advantage of him.

For now, the name of the Xue family is enough, because the Xue family is already connected to the Rongguo Mansion right now......
