All the attention of the sake wine was on the snacks in the pot, and after blowing off the steam, he hurriedly took the chopsticks and put them on the plate one by one.

"Wine and wine, apart from the old man, is there anyone else in this family who loves sesame oil?"

"No, no, it's not good to eat too much! Who is idle and loves to eat oil! Well...... It's so fragrant......"

Jiujiu looked at his work and seemed very satisfied.

Xu Siye looked at the bottles and jars on the table, which contained all kinds of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

It's a pity that cooking is Xu Siye's biggest blind spot, and Xu Siye can't even tell the difference between cooking wine and soy sauce, salt and sugar.

"Wine, so many things ......"

"Taste it! The dim sum is the best when it comes out of the pot! Jiujiu hurriedly picked up a piece of steamed cake and was about to send it to Xu Siye's mouth.

Xu Siye was caught off guard, his lips were suddenly scalded by the hot steamed cake, he screamed and took a step back, and the steamed cake fell to the ground with a thud.

"Oops! How are you ......? People kindly give you the prepared snacks to eat, and you still don't appreciate it! Do you know how much thought I put into this steamed cake! ”

Jiujiu was not happy, and looked at Xu Siye with his hands on his hips and frowned.

Xu Siye hurriedly fanned his scalded lips with his hand as a fan, and said, "Girl, you don't know this...... Is this freshly out of the pan the hottest? You're still shoving ...... in my mouth It's burning me......"

"Is it hot? Ah...... That's mine anymore, I'm going to blow you ......"

As he spoke, Jiujiu really approached Xu Siye, and gently pouted his peach-petal-like red lips and blew on Xu Siye's mouth.

Xu Siye only felt a chill on his mouth, but in an instant, his face was as hot as charcoal, and he hurriedly took a few steps back.

"Girl, you...... You have to be self-respecting! Men and women can't kiss each other......"

"You still care about this! Cut. ”

Jiujiu snorted, then picked up another piece of steamed cake, and said, "This piece is cooler, let's taste it......"

Xu Siye took a step back and said, "Forget it, I still won't eat it...... Wine, can you tell me which is sesame oil......

"I'm talking about your new uncle! No wonder our young lady doesn't like you! Why is a big man here, why is his mother-in-law here, why can't he get along with sesame oil? Which is sesame oil and what does it have to do with you, is it possible that you still learn from that little mouse and want to steal oil to drink? ”

Jiujiu seemed to be very dissatisfied with Xu Siye's attitude, and snorted and said.

"This ...... Wine, this matter is really important to me, please do well, just tell me which is sesame oil......"

Jiujiu said, "Okay, then you can taste my dim sum first, and I'll tell you when you're done!" ”

"This ...... Alas, well. ”

Xu Siye had no choice but to pick up the steamed cake that the wine clip gave him, put it in his mouth and bit it.

"How? I know how to cook a lot of dishes, but this is the first time I've made dim sum...... How's it going? Isn't it delicious? ”

Xu Siye chewed a few times, and looked down at his wine with big eyes.

"Wine girl......" When Xu Siye spoke again, her voice became very hoarse for some reason.

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

“…… Will you do well and give me a sip of water to drink? Xu Siye said hoarsely.

"Ah...... Oooh! ”

The wine poured a glass of water into Xu Siye, and Xu Siye was relieved.

"What the hell is going on, do you want to give me a word if it's delicious?" Jiujiu said.

Xu Siye came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and said, "Wine and wine, Xu has an immature doubt, is the salt in your mansion all for free and does not need money?" ”

"Where! Salt is precious! The old man of the family didn't know how much money it cost to buy salt from the government, and they all wanted to make more money with this salt, but the salt distributed to the family was less! Sometimes we don't have enough room, so we take ourselves to buy it! ”

Xu Siye was stunned, and the two words of salt quotation caught his attention.

The salt introduction system originated from the salt money law, and salt merchants in various regions had to buy salt from the government if they wanted to sell salt legally.

After that, the salt was used to buy salt from the stove to sell, and the profit of the price difference was not small, and the Lin family was a famous salt merchant in Yangzhou.

It's just that in recent years, the government has been in urgent need of a lot of money to prepare grain and grass for the conscription war in the north, and the government has stepped up efforts to raise the price of salt.

However, the prices sold by the major salt merchants are set by the government and cannot be increased or decreased at will. As a result, the profits of the salt merchants were greatly reduced.

In China's feudal dynasties, salt was an extremely important part of the national treasury revenue, so there were strict regulations on the sale of salt, and each merchant must sell salt at a designated place, otherwise it would be punished as private salt.

"Salt leads to ......"

"Uncle, what's wrong with you? Is this snack delicious, can you give a word? ”

Xu Siye said: "Then why don't you try it yourself?" ”

"How can this work, of course the things you make yourself will be delicious! Only when others taste it can they tell the difference between good and bad! This snack has to be distributed to everyone in the room, and if it is not delicious, it will be troublesome! ”

Xu Siye said: "The taste is ...... Great, just need to put less salt next time......"

Before the wine came to his senses, Xu Siye continued to ask: "You just said that salt is introduced, do you know that now, the salt used by the Lin family is sold by its own business, or bought from another business?" ”

"Naturally, I bought it, although I don't understand the rules of this salt, but I know that all salt must be sold at the price, and it must not be used privately, otherwise if it is short, the court will come to check."

These words were like a bright light, which suddenly lit up the road in front of Xu Siye.

A plan gradually brewed in Xu Siye's mind.

"New aunt, what's wrong with you?"

"Thank you for the wine girl, Xu has one more thing to ask for, please ask the wine girl to agree!" Xu Siye said.

Jiujiu thought for a moment and said, "Hmm...... You're not a very annoying person, although you don't mean to be very likable! If you ask me, it depends on whether I'm happy or not! ”

Xu Siye asked Jiujiu where to put the sesame oil, and Jiujiu brought a jar of sesame oil.

Xu Siye opened it and saw that the sesame oil in the jar was very clear and fragrant.

"Wine, just bothering you to keep an eye on this jar of sesame oil, no matter who has been to the kitchen from now on, or who has touched this jar of sesame oil, be sure to tell me everything, in addition, this matter must be kept strictly secret, and no half of a sentence must be divulged."

"Hmm...... Really fun! But what's in it for me? Liquor grinned.

Xu Siye took out a few taels of broken silver from his arms and said, "How about giving these to you?" ”

"I don't want money!" Jiujiu said.
