Chapter 13: Chicken Stew
When Liu Hai heard this, he immediately looked at the boss with some surprise. But naturally he would not let go of this opportunity, and nodded with a smile.
"That's great, thank you, uncle."
As if relieved, the boss directly took out an oiled paper bag from the cabinet, opened it for a look, and handed it to Liu Hai.
The candy was dusky in color, there were some impurities and bubbles in it, and there were seven or eight pieces in the oiled paper bag, which made the bangs, who were used to seeing all kinds of modern candy, not know how, and instantly became appetizing.
This sugar can be regarded as an early maltose, but the Tang Dynasty did not have too high production technology, and it was probably like this.
Bangs smelled it, although the smell was a little sweet, but there was no rotten taste, and the preservation was really good.
He took out two pennies from his money bag and handed them to his boss.
Now that he has walked to the grocery store, Liu Hai simply bought all kinds of spices, and there is not much money left in his money bag after spending it, if he doesn't remember to buy vegetables later, he needs to leave some money for Zhang Da, I'm afraid he will buy all the things he needs.
After all, he had seen it in the firewood room just now, and the original owner was really not the material for living, and there was basically nothing to eat in the firewood room, let alone spices, salt, and oil.
Since it has been decided to start by selling food first, firewood, rice, oil and salt are indispensable, and you must buy them as soon as possible.
Liu Hai put everything into the firewood room, and when he saw that Zhang Da hadn't come back with the vegetables, he consciously packed up the chicken.
Fortunately, the water in the tile gang is still full, and it seems that the original owner is not so lazy that he doesn't even remember to pick up the water, which makes Liu Hai breathe a sigh of relief, and he brushed the cauldron inside and out.
After all, there was a lack of materials at home, so Liu Hai still went to buy a small jar of oil just now. After he heated the pot, he dug up a small spoonful and put it in the pot, this chicken is already extremely fat, and it has a lot of oil and water in it, if you add too much, I am afraid it will be greasy.
Bangs stared at the oil with small bubbles, so he quickly put in spices such as peppercorns, star anise, and stir-fried with the sliced chicken pieces.
It's just that it's a pity that there is no chili, and if you can have chili peppers to enhance the taste, I'm afraid the taste will be better.
Bangs scooped up a spoonful of salt and sprinkled evenly on top. While he kept pressing the chicken on the bottom of the pot to let it get oily, he kept a close eye on the chicken, afraid that the chicken would be cooked.
When the chicken had been fried until it was golden in color and exuded an attractive fragrance, he hurriedly poured the water that had been prepared into it, and with a smack, a layer of oil suddenly appeared on the water surface of the pot.
Bangs put the lid on the pot and let out a long sigh of relief.
He sat almost on the ground, adding firewood to it and smelling the smell of meat that was slowly becoming stronger.
Zhang Da walked in panting with two baskets in his arms.
"Brother Liu Hai, I brought fifty red kraft vegetables and sunflower vegetables. As soon as I heard that I wanted it, I deliberately put some more in it, do you think these are enough? ”
The bangs turned the fire down a little and went straight out.
Zhang Da excitedly held the basket in front of his bangs, his nose twitched uncontrollably, and his eyes looked unnaturally into the firewood room.
Bangs smiled helplessly, took the basket, and looked inside.
"Okay, don't patronize it yet, you will have to eat later. Thank you Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang for your concern, I'll give you the money later, but you still have to do one more thing for me. ”
Zhang Da was still a little absent-minded, he looked at the firewood room and nodded, as if he had been completely attracted by the smell of meat, but he couldn't hear what Liu Hai said.
"Now you separate the red kraft and the sunflower and wash them carefully, I want the leaves and stems of the sunflower, and remove the leaves of the red cowhide. These two dishes are knocked separately and placed in a bowl to prepare the ingredients for making three-color hair cakes. If there is a vegetable juice that will stain the stone mortar, rinse it with water and still pour it into the bowl. ”
Seeing this, Liu Hai took out two of them and washed them separately, and showed them directly to Zhang Da. Although it does not use the leaves of red cow cabbage, the juice in its stem is a little more, and the mortar is dyed red, which looks suitable for a woman's kodan.
Zhang Da reluctantly sniffed hard, then turned his head and looked at the bangs suspiciously, he touched the red cowhide cabbage in the basket, and then turned his head to look at the bangs.
"I think I kind of understand what you're trying to do, but this red kraft and sunflower cabbage, one is red and the other is green. But even if Brother Bangs can mix these two colors, you can't change the third color, isn't there something else? ”
"Corn itself is yellow, red, yellow and green, and it happens to be made into a three-color hair cake. What's more, these three things don't taste very similar to each other, you come over tomorrow morning to help me, and I'll give you another taste, and you'll know what it tastes like. ”
Zhang Da's eyes lit up, and then nodded vigorously.
Seeing that he was already honestly pounding vegetables, Liu Hai walked over and directly lifted the lid of the pot halfway.
The scent that had been masked could no longer be hidden, and they rushed out. Not to mention Zhang Da, even Liu Hai himself couldn't help but swallow his saliva, this is too tempting!
Seeing that Zhang Da couldn't help it, Liu Hai turned around, scooped a big bowl directly and walked out.
"You finish this dish first, and when I come back with Ayu and Xiaobei, we can eat together."
Zhang Da opened his mouth wide, looked at his bangs sluggishly, and saw him walk out of the house without looking back, so he let out a dejected sigh.
Second Uncle Liu quickly opened the door, saw the chicken in Liu Hai's hand, subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and frowned.
"You kid only makes a few bucks, why do you buy chickens now? It seems that it is still a long time, so how much walnut cake is left? Your aunt tasted good just now, how much is it? I buy them all. ”
Liu Hai shook his head with a smile, he knew that Second Uncle Liu had a knife mouth and a tofu heart, and he was afraid that he didn't sell the walnut cake. That's why I gritted my teeth and wanted to help myself, and there was nothing wrong in my memory.
"My walnut cake, two pennies a piece."
Second Uncle Liu's face froze, and he didn't seem to be able to even laugh.
His eyes widened and he glared at his bangs, and there was some doubt in his eyes.
This stinky boy, shouldn't he be a stinger? If it was really two pennies a piece, I might not be able to take out that much money.
Under Second Uncle Liu's gaze, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he raised his head and raised his eyebrows.
"But I still have to thank the second uncle for his kindness, my walnut cake has been sold today, which is enough to afford chicken. Ayu is really too troublesome for you and your second aunt in this half day. I came over to take the two girls back, this chicken is just stewed by me, and it's still hot, you and the second aunt haven't eaten yet, eat it while it's hot. ”
As soon as he said this, Second Uncle Liu suddenly thought that his ears were broken, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
Two pennies a piece, and it can still be sold out?
No, this kid just took most of them, and only a few of them were sold on the West Market, right?
Thinking of this, Second Uncle Liu's voice trembled, and he asked tentatively.
"Haiwazi, how much did you sell for today?"
