7. Stir-fried green bamboo shoots with meat
Zhu Pingchuan, Zhu Bagongzi is a frequent visitor to the open building in this spring storm, Gu Qiaoxi naturally knows this person, but if she wants to say that this poem was written by Zhu Ba, the son of a businessman, she will never believe it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut since I've already spoken, I naturally have to fulfill it. So Gu Qiaoxi ordered the maid to go upstairs to find the eighth prince of Zhu to talk, and the maid who knew that the maid came back and said that the eighth prince of Zhu had just left in a hurry. This made Gu Qiaoxi confused, although there was some speculation in his heart, but Zhu Pingchuan left, and naturally no one came to answer.
was originally a very sensational event, but it was disrupted by this Zhu Bagongzi, which everyone didn't expect. Originally, Zhao Zongbo and others were still not convinced, but you can write good words from the son of a businessman! In the midst of the noise, the old bustard took out the song "Heavenly Fairy", and suddenly everyone stopped talking. Everyone present has read books, and although they may not be proficient in poetry, they can still distinguish the quality of the poetry. In this way, Mei'er's combing day was postponed, and naturally, everyone didn't see everyone who covered Jinghua. It can be said that he came with hope and returned disappointed.
Chen Yan naturally didn't pay attention to what happened after he left, anyway, the silver was in hand, and he couldn't say that he had no worries about food and clothing in the future, and he was afraid that he would not have to worry about eating and drinking in a short time. It's just that it's not a way to sit and eat, it's better to make a living.
When he got home, before Chen Yan could lie down, Tie Niu came, carrying some rice and vegetables and fruits in his hand, he was a sincere person, and naturally he would not take advantage of others in vain, even if this person was his own small hair, it would not work, otherwise he would not be happy in his heart. Chen Yan knew that Tie Niu was a person, so he was not polite, and accepted the things, but took out a hundred taels of silver from under the bed and put it in Tie Niu's hand.
Tie Niu looked at the silver in his hand, and was suddenly shocked, and said, "No, no!" How does this work? "In this era, silver is not yet a circulating currency, and it is generally used for large-scale transactions.
Chen Yan smiled slightly: "I met a high roller today and got a lot of silver taels. A few days ago, thanks to my brother's care, these silver taels were just a little expression of my brother's affection. ”
"Never!" Tie Niu put the silver on the table with a resolute expression.
"If you and my brother are still so polite, I'm afraid it will chill my brother's heart. The elder brother is no better than the younger brother, there is an old mother to support, and there is a little sister below. Brother Tie Niu doesn't want to have no dowry on the day of his younger sister's marriage in the future, and be looked down upon by his husband's family, right? ”
Tie Niu hesitated, indeed as Chen Yan said, his little sister is thirteen years old this year, and she will get married in two or three years, but there is no dowry at this time. It's just that this hundred taels of silver is a hundred yuan of money, and he is afraid that he will not be able to earn so much in five years.
Chen Yan continued: "Brother, don't worry, these silver brothers have earned it by their ability, and there is nothing wrong with it. If you take the money back, it is better to keep it in the village tomorrow, otherwise it will be remembered by people, and it will not be good. ”
"Then thank you Qicheng!" Tie Niu naturally knew that Chen Yan was a person, and he would definitely not take ill-gotten gains. I took the silver back and saved it for my little sister to buy a dowry, and then I would return it to Qicheng when I made money in the future.
Watching Tie Niu carefully go out with the silver, Chen Yan's mood improved a lot, if he didn't want to make a living with the silver, it would be okay to give the five hundred taels of silver to Tie Niu. As for what to do for a living, Chen Yan hasn't thought about it yet, this word stall is in the wind and rain, he doesn't want to put it on the show, it seems that he has to go to the street again tomorrow.
The next day, Chen Yan didn't get up until three days ago, and it was good to have no need to run around for a living!
First, I did dozens of push-ups, and I was tired and sweaty, so I washed up, and after a simple breakfast, Chen Yan went out.
If you want to do business, you naturally have to be around here, Qingxuan City, Begging City, and the Qinglou tile area opposite, which is crowded with people, and it is definitely an excellent place to open a store.
Qingxuan City and Begging City, Chen Yan doesn't think about it, there are mostly trade areas over there, and I am afraid that I will not succeed if I don't have any rare goods in my hands. Then the Qinglou tile area opposite, besides, there are also acquaintances here, Wang Dynasty Mahan, although the two of them are just a small street division, but the county official is not as good as the current management!
Chen Yan entered the Qinglou tile area, walked around inside, although he saw a lot of shops being transferred, but they were not what he was good at, not a ready-to-wear shop or a rouge gouache shop, he didn't understand it at all! As for the money, Chen Yan asked about the price, it was okay, the larger store was only one hundred and ten taels of silver, the front could be used as a storefront, and there was a small courtyard in the back, so it was no problem to live by yourself, and the four hundred taels of silver should be enough to support a storefront. As for what to do, you can't be in a hurry, you still have to think slowly.
After shopping all morning, Chen Yan felt a little hungry, so he planned to buy some vegetables or something and go home for dinner. He needs to make up for it now, this body is too weak!
After buying some meat, Chen Yan carried it in the direction of his house, and when he passed under the willow tree, he saw the willow shopkeeper.
Shopkeeper Liu looked at Chen Yan with a smile on his face, and said, "You scholar makes the old man wait." ”
"Ugh!" Chen Yan was speechless, he had forgotten about this thing, so he knew that this Liu shopkeeper really didn't give up!
Chen Yan scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Please forgive the old gentleman, the kid has forgotten." It's all time for dinner, why don't you go to my house for a meal? ”
"Okay!" Shopkeeper Liu responded very directly.
Chen Yan just said it casually, and Cheng thought that this old man actually agreed, and this cheeky person is not thin! Although he is not a gentleman, he naturally has to abide by the truth of what he says, so he led the shopkeeper back to his house.
"Sit casually, there's nothing to entertain here, boy, wait a minute." Chen Yan put down the meat in his hand and said with a smile.
The shopkeeper Liu was calm, looked at it, and asked curiously, "Chen Gongzi is proficient in cooking?" ”
"I understand! Slightly understood! ”
"Oh!" Shopkeeper Liu was a little surprised, this era is an era when gentlemen are far away from cooking, and Chen Yan, a scholar, is proficient in cooking, which is impressive. However, when he thought of Chen Yan's family background, Shopkeeper Liu was also relieved.
Chen Yan didn't say much anymore, went to the kitchen to start cooking, since there were guests at home today, naturally he couldn't deal with it simply, so Chen Yan made a fried green bamboo shoots with meat, and made a cold dish even if it was all work, as for wine or something, he didn't have it at home, and he didn't plan to buy it. This shopkeeper Liu is at most a patron, and it is interesting enough to invite him to a meal.
Bringing the food to the table, Chen Yan and Shopkeeper Liu sat opposite each other, and Shopkeeper Liu glanced at it and asked, "Gongzi Chen, what is this?" ”
"Stir-fried green bamboo shoots with meat!" Chen Yan picked up the rice bowl, took a bite of rice, and said.
Shopkeeper Liu picked up the chopsticks, tasted them, and immediately felt full of fragrant flavors, and couldn't help but admire, and asked, "This method was invented by Chen Gongzi?" ”
Chen Yan was stunned when he heard this, blinked, and somewhat understood, daring to love this old man was talking about this stir-fried dish! In this era, there really is no such thing as stir-frying, whether it is a folk or a restaurant, it is mainly steamed and barbecued. The emergence of stir-fried vegetables is probably in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
No matter how thick-skinned Chen Yan was, Chen Yan was embarrassed to say that this stir-fry was invented by himself, so he said: "Old gentleman, don't ask for the title of son, my name is Chen Yan, the word Qicheng, you just call me Qicheng." As for this stir-fry, I read it from an ancient book. ”
Shopkeeper Liu pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Chen, no, Qi Cheng, would you like to teach this technique to the chef in my restaurant?" How about Icheng dry stocks? ”
"Huh!?" Chen Yan was dumbfounded, is this okay?!
