In the kitchen, Gu Jinxiu removed the skin of the radish, then cut the radish into small slices and salted it, and then peeled the taro.

Seeing that Shopkeeper Zhao was watching from the side, without a disgusted gaze, Gu Jinxiu said: "This taro scalp, you don't need to wash the taro, and our hands should also be kept dry, so that the itching can be reduced when peeling." If you accidentally touch the skin and get itchy, you can apply it with ginger, which can be soaked in vinegar water.

Shopkeeper Zhao praised: "Gu Gongzi actually knows so much, he is worthy of Xie Yuangong, I admire Gu Gongzi very much." ”

This is just modern knowledge moved here by her, Gu Jinxiu was a little embarrassed to be praised, did not respond to Zhao's shopkeeper, lowered her head and continued to do things.

After the taro is peeled, cut into small pieces the width of the index finger and marinated with a small amount of salt.

Then she washed a pound of pork belly and put it in the pot, added an appropriate amount of water, put in star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, knotted green onions, a spoonful of light soy sauce, half a spoon of dark soy sauce, and then added a small amount of wine and began to cook the meat.

After boiling the water over the high fire, Gu Jinxiu boiled it over low heat for almost a quarter of an hour, then took out the meat and put it in a small basket to dry.

At this time, she saw that the radish slices had become soft, so she washed them with water many times and put an appropriate amount of vinegar and sugar to pickle.

Thinking that some wealthy families often store some ice cubes in winter and wait for summer to use, Gu Jinxiu asked, "Shopkeeper Zhao, do you have ice cubes in your restaurant?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhao said, "Yes, I'll go get a piece." ”

After the shopkeeper Zhao left, Gu Jinxiu poured the lard into the pot, heated it, and began to fry the taro pieces, and then took out the taro after both sides became slightly yellow, and then went to check the meat, and saw that it had been dried, so he put it in the pot and fried it, and after the two sides turned golden brown, he took it out and put it on the ice cubes taken by the shopkeeper Zhao to freeze.

Gu Jinxiu used a bowl to mix the appropriate amount of oil, light soy sauce and sugar into juice, she originally wanted to put tofu and bean curd juice, but she didn't find it in the kitchen, and asked the shopkeeper Zhao, but she didn't know about it, so she had to give up.

After the juice was finished, Gu Jinxiu began to boil the water under the steamer.

After taking out the meat that had been frozen for a while and cutting it into small slices half the width of an index finger, Gu Jinxiu put the taro and meat slices into the seasoned sauce, and tossed a few times to ensure that each piece of taro and meat was coated with the sauce.

Then Gu Jinxiu took out a large bowl, smeared lard around the steamed meat bowl, put it into the bowl in the form of a piece of taro and a piece of meat, and poured the remaining seasoning sauce.

Finally, the bowl with the taro and meat is placed on the steamer and steamed.

About half an hour later, Gu Jinxiu took a plate larger than the steaming bowl, took out the bowl from the steamer and turned it upside down in the plate, decantted the excess soup into the pot, burned the fire to thicken the soup, poured the thickened soup on the buttoned meat, and finally sprinkled a little green onion.

"The taro button meat is ready, Shopkeeper Zhao, you can taste it."

Although Shopkeeper Zhao really wanted to taste the delicacy made of cheap taro, he didn't dare!

The master is still waiting!

Shopkeeper Zhao swallowed his saliva, waved his hand and said, "I won't taste it, you can send it to the flower hall for the master to taste!" He waited for the master to buy the recipe and then asked the cook to make another one.

Seeing this, Gu Jinxiu nodded, left a little sour radish for Zhao's shopkeeper, and put the rest in the food box and took it to see Zhao Shenyou.

……

Flower Hall.

After Zhao Shenyou knew that Gu Jinxiu was coming, he asked Zhao Di to invite Gu Jinxiu to have breakfast, and learned that she was going to cook and sell recipes, and Zhao Di was good at making suggestions and let Gu Jinxiu go to the kitchen.

Originally, he wanted to punish Zhao Di, but when he saw Li Mojin coming, he felt that Zhao Di's approach was quite correct.

Zhao Shenyou asked, "What is the matter with Brother Li coming to me today?" "Hurry up and leave!

Compared with Zhao Shenyou, Li Mojin is not in a hurry at all.

Li Mojin held the teacup and tasted it slowly, as if he had really come here to enjoy tea and chat today, his afterglow only glanced at Zhao Shenyou, who was sitting on the main seat, and continued to drink tea.

Zhao Shenyou looked at Li Mojin and asked inquiringly, "Brother Li won't come here to drink tea here today, right?" ”

Li Mojin said: "Brother Zhao and I haven't been together for a long time, and today we are here to have a cup of tea." ”

Zhao Shenyou obviously didn't believe Li Mojin's words, didn't they go back to the city together yesterday!

"It seems that Brother Li has something to look for me today, if there is anything, Brother Li will not refuse, even if Brother Li says that I can do it."

Zhao Shenyou now only hopes that Li Mojin can leave the delicious building quickly.

Li Mojin looked at Zhao Shenyou, Zhao Shenyou was a little anxious today, and he didn't seem to want him to stay here longer.

How can this be done, he deliberately chose this time.

"The person from the imperial court came the evening before yesterday, I think Brother Zhao should have heard about it, right?"

Zhao Shenyou nodded, didn't this person take people to inspect the river yesterday?

Li Mojin: What is this going to do?

Zhao Shenyou looked at Li Mojin in silence, waiting for him to continue.

Li Mojin put down the teacup and said, "The imperial court is ready to build the Yanghe ditch. ”

Zhao Shenyou paused with his hand playing with the folding fan, and said for a moment: "I am a businessman, the matter of the imperial court, Brother Li is looking for the wrong person." ”

In previous years, when ditches or city walls were built, some things would break out more or less afterwards, and sometimes they were widely implicated, and Zhao Shenyou didn't want to get into trouble.

Li Mojin would not let go of the lamb sent to the door easily!

"The construction of ditches is a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, and although Brother Zhao is a merchant, he can also contribute."

Zhao Shenyou understood that the purpose of Li Mojin's trip was to ask him to pay for it, so he could send people away quickly, and if he paid for it, he would pay for it!

"Brother Li, I will donate 100,000 taels of silver."

Li Mojin asked, "Will you lose money?" ”

Zhao Shenyou shook his head, "Brother Li doesn't need to worry, this little money is nothing to me!" He immediately instructed Zhao Di: "Zhao Di go and get 100,000 taels of silver tickets to give to Brother Li." ”

Zhao Di quickly played back and forth and handed the silver ticket to Li Mojin.

Li Mojin casually handed over the silver ticket to Li Yi and said to Zhao Shenyou: "Thank you Brother Zhao for your kindness, I thank Brother Zhao for replacing wine with tea for the people of Qingshan County." ”

"Brother Li is polite." Zhao Shenyou also picked up the teacup and saluted Li Mojin in return.

After saying this, Zhao Shenyou thought that Li Mojin would leave, but unexpectedly, Li Mojin still sat still, as if he wanted to finish the cup of tea before leaving.

Li Mojin saw Zhao Shenyou's anxious appearance, thinking that he was in a hurry, and said: "Brother Zhao, if you have something to do, go ahead first, I'll sit here for a while and leave." ”

As for how long it will be, he doesn't know.

Zhao Shenyou wanted to give an eviction order, thinking of the relationship between the two, he opened his mouth, but finally did not say anything.

At this time, Zhao Shenyou did not want Li Mojin and Gu Jinxiu to meet again, even if it was Gu Jinxiu who was dressed as a man.

He prayed in his heart that Li Mojin would leave quickly.

One wants to drive people away, the other wants to stay.

In this way, the two talked one after another, until Gu Jinxiu appeared with a food box......
