Chapter 181: Special Care
Kong Xinci listened to Mama Kong's explanation, nodded in agreement, and asked, "What's the matter with that eldest lady?" ”
"I hurt my body after giving birth, and the old slave looked a little serious, so I invited Dr. Huang to see it." Mama Kong replied, "Miss Jiuli and Miss Shixiang are dressed like when they came to Guo's Mansion, Qi Mansion is also a merchant, and the merchant does not have a high status and likes to look down on others, so the old slave made a face for Miss Jiuli." ”
Mama Kong also thinks about Guo Mansion like this, she didn't have to be served by the Qi family in Guo Mansion, but she was belittled when she arrived at Qi Mansion, which indirectly slapped Guo Mansion in the face.
Kong Xinci smiled when he heard this, "You, I won't be able to see what you're thinking, it's okay, Huaixi likes those two sisters so much, we should help out, not to mention that this time it's a coincidence, and it's not someone who asks for it, if you really come to beg, I'll be disappointed, it's rare that we Huaixi have been talking about it for the past few days." ”
"The old slave also invited Miss Jiuli, and they came to Guo's mansion to play when they were free." Mama Kong said with a smile on her face, "Madam, our young lady has a good eye, and she still sees people really." ”
"As soon as the old slave said this, he generally couldn't bear it and agreed to come, but Miss Jiuli said that our young lady has to recuperate these days, so it is inconvenient to come to the door to disturb, and after their brother's house has tried, they will come to say hello to you."
"Isn't it just that when I want to go back, I will say goodbye, just like Madame thought before."
Kong Xinci nodded, "Although he is a villager, he has a sense of energy, yes, such a person, even if it is not good now, it is not easy to say in the future, it depends on this hospital test, if it really passes, the congratulatory gift must also be prepared." ”
"Oh, by the way, just now Steward Luo from Guangsheng Yaxing came to visit, and Steward Guo entertained him, talking about the Qi family."
"What's the matter?" Kong Xinci asked.
"The Qi family's Toro steward is looking for a shop in Shun'an Mansion, saying that he wants to buy it." Mama Kong conveyed her meaning, "Steward Luo came to ask if I wanted to take special care of it." ”
Kong Xinci was a little surprised, "It seems that people can't look good, the Qi family still has a bit of family background." ”
Where can the average peasant family afford to buy a shop in Fucheng, it is impossible to make a profit from the ground alone, "Send a message to Steward Luo, take special care, but don't let the Qi family know." ”
"Yes."
The sun was in the west, Qi Jiuli began to prepare dinner, Qi Zhai sent a lot of ingredients over, many of them were the first time she saw in ancient times, there was a piece of fresh beef of about two catties, the cow is a treasure, a good hand in the field, where can it be slaughtered casually, so Qi Jiuli was hungry after seeing the beef.
Although I also want to share it with Qi Qizhu and Qi Basong, they can't come out during the exam, and when they come out, the beef is not fresh, but Qi Jiuli doesn't want to leave people behind, the arrangement of two catties of beef is clear, one and a half catties are made into braised beef, and half a catty is fried and eaten at night.
In addition to beef, Qi Zhai also brought five catties of pork belly, two live black fish of about three catties each, a basket of eggs, a pot of oil, and all kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits.
There is also cooked food, and there is a whole box of various pastries made by the chef of Qi House.
Qi Jiuli already had dishes in his mind, stir-fried beef with cabbage, fish head tofu soup, boiling fish fillet, and then a cold eggplant.
Cut the beef into slices, add egg whites and a pinch of salt and stir well; The live fish slaughtered Qi Jiuli was handed over to Qi Shan, and he said the request, although Qi Shan was strange to cut the fish into thin slices, but he had tasted Qi Jiuli's craftsmanship, and he didn't express any doubts, so he started directly, how to say that Qi Jiuli is also a person from Qiuwei Restaurant, and the dishes he knows are not comparable to himself.
Qi Jiuli put the fish head, fish bones, and fish tail into the clay pot, put in the ginger slices and green onions, and stew them on the stove, and asked Qi Shiyi to help watch the fire; The fish is also kneaded with egg whites.
Qi Shixiang is responsible for the fire of the stove, as soon as the pot is hot, Qi Jiuli will put oil, stir-fry the beef, the beef is cooked seven or eight minutes and put out, start to stir-fry the cabbage, wait for the cabbage to come out of the water, put in the beef, add salt and soy sauce and then fry, fry out of the pot.
"It smells so good." Qi Shixiang twitched her nose and sighed.
"What Qi Zhai sent is rapeseed oil, which tastes different from lard, let's try it today." Qi Jiuli would think of making boiling fish, also because of this pot of rapeseed oil.
The fragrance in the kitchen has not been broken, when Qi Shan came in to see, he happened to see Qi Jiuli scooping a large spoonful of hot oil and pouring it on the fish fillet, his eyes were about to pop out, and he walked in, sure enough, the oil on the fish fillet, and a lot of chili peppers, the distressed Qi Shan would not move.
"Uncle, this rapeseed oil was sent by Qi Zhai, the most important thing is that if you don't eat it all these days, it's not easy to take it home, the carriage is so bumpy, it will definitely overflow." Qi Jiuli explained.
Qi Shan turned to look at the pot of oil that had gone down a lot, but the words of accusation were unspeakable.
"Uncle, it's rare to eat it once, and I won't have a chance to make it in the future, we will keep another fish for a few days, and when my brother and eighth cousin finish the exam, I will make it again and let them try it." Qi Jiuli had already thought about it.
The corners of Qi Shan's mouth twitched, it seemed that this pot of oil was destined to be used up by Qi Jiuli.
"Uncle, it's time to eat, come and eat, it's so fragrant." Qi Shiyi brought the rice and did not forget to call Qi Shan.
After drinking a bowl of hot fish head tofu soup and eating tender and spicy fish fillets, Qi Shan was a little relieved, it was really delicious; Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi were busy and couldn't look up and talk, sandwiching beef slices, fish slices, and all kinds of vegetables under the fish fillets, all of which were eaten up by the four of them, and finally there were a few cold eggplants left, which were also rounded by Qishan, and the table was clean, except for the red soup of the fish fillets.
"This soup is a little spicy, and there is too much oil, so when you make it next time, put less spicy and less oil, and you can drink this soup." Qi Shan made a small suggestion.
"Well, this is the first time to do it, and next time I'll improve it." Qi Jiuli responded.
"Eldest sister, the food you cook is better than that of Guo Mansion and Qi Mansion." Qi Shiyi was very supportive, touching his round belly and greatly appreciating Qi Jiuli.
"It's delicious, it's really delicious." Qi Shan said with a smile, "It seems that Jiuli has learned a lot of dishes in the Autumn Flavor Restaurant." ”
"When Uncle Jiang was cooking, I took a few looks." Qi Jiuli said modestly, she would go to see Jiang Houchun cooking, the most important premise is that this dish was thought up by Qi Jiuli, if it was Jiang Houchun's own dish, Qi Jiuli would not go to see it.
"Uncle, let's go to Yaxing early tomorrow morning, ask if there is a suitable shop, if there is, let's go and see it first, and wait for the brother and them to finish the exam before making a final decision." Qi Jiuli said, "After lunch at noon, let's go to see my sister-in-law, what do you think, uncle?" ”
"Okay."
