Chapter 42: Eight dishes and one soup

Su You smiled and replied to the shopkeeper: "Go, this dish is suitable for the elderly and children, then every family can eat it, and it is really not a difficult thing to get more than 100 wen a day!" ”

Su You watched the butcher shop shopkeeper leave, and as soon as he turned around, he saw the cook Lao Zhou with a resentful face.

Su You was surprised: "What's the matter?" ”

Lao Zhou is very worthless for Su You: "Little master, you just don't use your own craftsmanship as money!" Do you think that the butcher shopkeeper will earn more than 100 wen a day from today, and it will be three times a month! A year is a small forty! Say thank you lightly, what should it be? ”

Su You curled his lips when he heard this, and shook his little hand: "Don't care, people also earn hard money, I think that I will kill and kill anyway, and I can use as many ingredients as possible without causing waste, isn't it considered merit?" ”

Lao Zhou puffed up and said: "The little young master is kind-hearted. ”

Su You disagreed: "It's far away, let's boil the oil and boil the pot!" ”

The butcher's shopkeeper is very fine, and the lard slivers are cut thin and even.

Mix some water in the pot and let the cook put the lard sticks in and boil.

Su You smelled the fragrance of oil, and pointed his finger on his chin, thinking about what to do with the oil residue.

Oil residue should not be made with watery dishes, otherwise the crispy texture of oil residue will be gone.

The best way to do it is to stir-fry it with sprouts to make a whistle, wrap buns, wrap pig baba, or make whistle noodles, which are all excellent.

But the sprouts thing...... You have to do it at the end of the year, and then you have to wait another year......

Secondly, stir-fry pickled kohlrabi granules and minced green peppers, as a side dish of porridge, sandwiched with steamed buns, which is also excellent.

The question is...... The mustard head is still in the soil, and it has to wait until the end of autumn to harvest, and the green pepper is even more thoughtful......

I couldn't help but shake my head: "Bianjing may be slightly better, the current southwest is really a desert of food......"

Clean up the mood, let the cook clean the two jars, wipe them dry, throw a handful of beans and peppercorns into it, and wait for the lard to boil, take out the oil residue and put it aside, and the oil is put into the jar.

After thinking about it, he asked the cook to roast some pepper granules and grind them into powder, and mixed them with salt powder with a portion of oil residue: "Taste it, what do you think?" ”

The cook smiled when he tasted it: "Little Master Xie, this is another big dish!" ”

Su You's black line in his head, what kind of big dish is this!

The chef said: "As long as there is more oil, it is a big dish!" ”

Well, you're a cook, you have a point in what you say! Su You asked again, "Is there any frosting at home?" It's the kind of very fine, white, pure sweet grain......"

"Frosting, rock sugar, it's all there!"

The cook's quick answer startled Su You, and he had been thinking about making money for a long time, but it turned out that it had been popularized?

The cook looked at Su You, who was a little stunned, and explained: "This thing is a specialty of my Suining, Sichuan!" Made of sugarcane, you don't even know it, little master? ”

How did I not know? I know too well, I just didn't know that the sugar industry in the Great Song Dynasty is so developed now!

Then I heard the cook say triumphantly: "But not every household can eat, isn't this Su Second Master an official over there, he will ask someone to bring it back every year, and Mrs. Cheng will honor the old man, so there are two families of frosting and rock sugar." ”

When Su You heard this, he said, "Okay, then go find out the icing and mix this oil residue with a portion." ”

At this time, I saw Shiyue poking his head in: "The little young master is easy to find!" How did you get into the kitchen again?! Master Tai and Master Shi are back and ask you to speak in the front hall. ”

Su You hurriedly came out with Shiyue and came to the front hall: "I've seen my uncle-in-law, I've seen my uncle." ”

Cheng Wenying saw Su You, sighed and said, "I heard that you got mixed up with the beggars in the city today?" It's a good thing to be kind, but just give some money, and you're losing your sven like this. ”

Su You bowed down and said: "Uncle in-law's lesson is that I listened to one of them named Qi'er, there are about fifty outcasts, but after the righteous shed was opened, their eldest brother only allowed them to come seven or eight people a day to help wash vegetables and dishes, and mix a meal. ”

"It is said that firstly, there are too many people to annoy it, and secondly, after developing oral desire, it is difficult to adapt to the past. Once cut off, or it will become a thief. I'd love to see such a character. ”

Shi Dongxiu gave up his hand to Cheng Wenying: "Cheng Gong, my Meishan outcast is still so sensible and observant, this is Cheng Gong's printed words, enlightening and educating." ”

Cheng Wenying waved his hand and said: "Hugh put gold on my face, Cang Liao knows etiquette and etiquette, and the words are edified, and it can't reach the outcast." ”

Shi Dongxiu said to Su You again: "Virtuous nephew, if you have the intention to do good, let them go to the righteous shed every day to get a bowl of brown rice, a bowl of beef offal soup, there is no need to mix with them, those children are wild, it will not be good to collide with you." ”

Su You said with a smile: "Shibo, this is actually a hidden danger in Meishan City. There are more than 50 people, who cannot be supported by Tzu Chi alone. ”

Shi Dongxiu was about to speak, but Cheng Wen should raise his hand to stop: "Virtuous nephew, tell me what you think." ”

Su You bowed down and said, "Uncle Shi, uncle-in-law, let's talk about why we have to take care of this matter first." ”

"They are now living in Meishan, and my Great Song Dynasty is not strictly prohibited, and after a year, they can automatically obtain Meishan household registration."

"The outcasts are mixed with men and women, it's okay now, when they grow up, if something happens to this male and female defense, it will hurt my eyebrows."

"Secondly, if we don't care, in a few years, those little girls will grow up and fall into the eyes of human traffickers, and I am afraid that it will be miserable."

"If such a thing really happens and spreads out, the state and county are afraid that they will be reprimanded by the imperial court, and it will fall on the gentry, and it will also lose face and hurt the reputation of my Meishan cultural and educational township."

After a pause, seeing Shi Cheng and the others nodding secretly, Su You continued: "How to solve it?" First of all, it is best to let them support themselves and not become a burden on Meishan County. ”

"Secondly, it is better for someone to manage them and guide them to promote good and suppress evil, and to be self-reliant."

"How do you support yourself? My nephew once found something in Kelong, the sand layer of the glass river contains a kind of iron ore, and the steel smelted has good performance. ”

"However, this work is very delicate, panning for iron in the sand, and the output is destined to be small, so it is not suitable for large-scale mining, and it is not worth spending special labor to do."

"But as long as you have simple tools, give this work to the children, and let them get three or five taels of iron sand every day and sell it to the Shi family's iron shop, and the livelihood of these children will be solved."

As for the girls, let them wash the dishes and pick vegetables in the charity shed, which can be regarded as learning cooking skills and dealing with others. In the future, even if you are a maid and maid, or grow up to be married, you can always have the skill of running a house. ”

"These children are inevitably saddened by their parents' donations. Su You has been lonely since childhood, and he can't help but hurt them, and he can also understand what they think. And they are not exclusive to me. ”

"Therefore, I may be able to become a link of communication between them and the people and government of Meishan, a lubrication adjustment, avoiding suspicion and vigilance, and cultivating the people's customs."

"Su You doesn't ask Meishan's elders for help, as long as the county magistrate agrees not to accept the children's iron sand as an official property, and allows them to sell it for themselves as health money."

Cheng Wenying heard this, and patted the armrest of the chair: "Think carefully, whip into the inside, this is amazing!" What a word! ”

Shi Dongxiu laughed: "I don't mean that Meishan has such a talent, although the old man is economical to his own family, he will definitely help his nephew Yu to do it." The county order is there, and we have to go to Shen to say. ”

Cheng Wenying nodded in agreement: "This matter is really not difficult, if the county even dares to grab the orphans in the river to dig this bit of iron sand, then the person in charge will not want to gain a foothold in Shilin." But virtuous nephew, is there really iron sand in the glass river? ”

Su You took out a contract from his arms: "Yes, I verified this matter with Old Man Shi, so I just got ten pieces of worship money from Shi Tong." ”

Cheng Wenying stroked his beard: "That virtuous nephew is in this Meishan City, so he can go sideways." Since you came to Meishan City, the relationship between my four surnames Jiang Qing has obviously become closer, regardless of the Su family, the other three families have all benefited from you. It seems that your oil words are not in vain, and you are ...... everywhere What's your name? Lubricant! ”

Su You bowed down with a smile and said, "My nephew is scared, in fact, I didn't do anything, it is also the trust of Baniang and Twenty-Seven Niang, as well as the in-law and Shibo." Today happened to help the kitchen cure the new line, why don't I get a few side dishes, and ask my in-law and Shibo to evaluate one or two? ”

Shi Dongxiu said: "Virtuous nephew, the gentleman is far away, ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Cheng Wenying, waved his hand at Su You, and said, "Hurry up, Lao Shi, let me tell you, the deliciousness of the virtuous nephew's cuisine, it is really impossible to miss it." ”

The seasoning is not complete, and the most impressive thing is probably the sweet and sour taste.

Back in the kitchen, let the cook do it, Su You commanded, took a carp, changed the flower knife, coded the flavor, wrapped in flour, poured oil and set, and then adjusted the sweet and sour sauce, fried green onion and ginger, and first made a sweet and sour crispy fish.

Then there is a stir-fry, slippery shiitake mushroom meat slices, magnolia meat slices, ginger chicken offal, white oil loofah, garlic choking water spinach, and finally a winter melon ball soup.

With the addition of two lard residues, a large table was filled.

Cheng Wenying and Shi Dongxiu were dumbfounded, and Shi Dongxiu said: "Cheng Gong, now it only takes three dishes to invite the adults of the state capital to eat, and the virtuous nephew is ...... One, two, three...... Eight dishes and one soup! It's too expensive, it's too expensive......"
