Chapter 363: Visitation
Although the taste is not as good as the sugar-fried chestnuts I ate in my previous life, it is generally the same. As for how to improve and fry the chestnuts to make them more delicious, it is up to the Xu family to figure it out again.
When Sister-in-law Li came over, Zhao Ruxi asked her to tell her the details of the sugar-fried chestnuts, rewarded her with ten taels of silver, sent her away, took a pen to summarize the details, and wrote down the place where Zhou Chun bought the quartz sand on the paper.
When he returned to Beijing that day and had dinner, Zhao Ruxi went to Xu's house with a bag of chestnuts fried by Sister-in-law Li.
"Sister Xi."
Xu Yongyi's family was eating, and they were overjoyed to see Zhao Ruxi coming.
"I'm too busy to visit my uncle and aunt." Zhao Ruxi said guiltily.
"We all know that you are so busy that you don't even have time to go to the academy now, and you have to be forced to endorse by the academy's Cui Fuzi, poor boy." Xie Shi looked at Zhao Ruxi with pity on his face, "Look, they've lost weight." ”
Zhao Ruxi: "......" begs not to mention this stubble.
Also, she's not skinny. She's just grown taller again.
"How's business going lately?" She changed the subject.
"It's good. Your house has always taken care of us, and there is no one who does not open his eyes to trouble us. Business is doing well. Xu Yongyi said with a smile.
This is for fear that she will be worried, and she will not report the good news or bad news.
Seeing that they had finished eating and were about to put away the bowl, Zhao Ruxi took out the bag of chestnuts: "Try it." If it tastes good, you can sell chestnuts. ”
Xie also thought that Zhao Ruxi had brought them snacks again, and was about to excuse himself, when he heard Zhao Ruxi's words, he took a chestnut and tasted it.
Before she could speak, she heard Xu Xue cry out "wow": "It's delicious, fragrant and sweet." As he spoke, he reached out and took another one in the bag.
Xu Yongyi has never eaten this kind of small snack, that is, he tasted one after listening to Zhao Ruxi's words.
At this time, seeing that his wife and children said that it was delicious, he looked at Zhao Ruxi: "This chestnut has a shiny skin, isn't it fried in oil?" ”
At this time, the oil extraction technology is not good, and the oil is very expensive. The chestnuts are so shiny, I don't know how much oil is used. It's okay to eat it once in a while, but if you use it for business, you have to consider the cost.
Zhao Ruxi took out the piece of paper he wrote and handed it to Xu Yongyi: "Uncle, you see, this method is used." ”
Xu Yongyi took it over and looked at it carefully, except for the illiterate Xie family, Xu Chongwen and Xu Xue all came to his side to look at the recipe.
Xu Chongwen glanced at it and found that there was something he couldn't understand, so he couldn't help asking, "What is quartz sand?" ”
Xu Yongyi also raised his head and looked at Zhao Ruxi.
Qing Feng delivered the two bags of quartz sand she was carrying at the right time.
"It's this kind of stone, it's not expensive, it's reusable. I have written down the place where Steward Zhou bought the stones. When you go to buy, you have to pick this one that is the same size and has no edges and corners. Zhao Ruxi pointed to a bag.
"But before you fry the chestnuts, you have to fry the quartz sand first. Inside this bag is the fried stones. She pointed to another bag, "The method of frying the stones is also written on the paper." But that's just a rough idea, you can see what is not going well and you can improve it. For example, white sugar is more expensive, you can try maltose; The taste is not rich enough, you can add a little salt or something to try it. ”
Stir-fried chestnuts with sugar are sweet, but in fact, a little salt should be added when stir-frying. As for the other seasonings, you don't need it.
Zhao Ruxi said this to inspire them to fry spiced melon seeds, peanuts or something.
Quartz sand can fry chestnuts, and naturally it can also fry melon seeds and peanuts. Modern fried food shops, don't be too rich.
Xu Yongyi, as a man who doesn't eat much snacks, didn't see the business opportunities of this thing at first. He thinks that the streets are full of raw chestnuts now, buy some and steam them at home to eat, who wants to spend money to buy this sugar-fried chestnuts that can't be cheap?
But he saw that Xu Xue was like a little hamster, eating one after another and couldn't stop at all. Xu Chongwen began to take care of Zhao Ruxi, and was reluctant to reach out to take it, but when he saw that the bag of chestnuts was less, he couldn't help but join the ranks of eating chestnuts.
Xie usually saves, and he is reluctant to eat good things, but when he comes back, he can't help but grab two of them.
Thinking about it, this chestnut can be sold by a stall selling coleslaw without any increase in selling costs. Xu Yongyi's eyes lit up.
"Good. If this business can be done, Uncle will still give you a share according to the proportion of cold vegetables. He said.
Zhao Ruxi waved his hand: "Uncle, you also know that I am not short of money now." Besides, I heard these methods, and I ate steamed chestnuts yesterday, and I felt that it was not delicious enough, so I asked the cook in the small courtyard of Bac Ninh to try it. This recipe is not complete, and you will have to improve it a lot when the time comes. With our relationship, don't be polite to me. ”
Although he knew that she had made a lot of money and bought a grange, a shop, a house, and a slave, Xu Yongyi still shared the proceeds with her on time every month during this time. Holding the dozens of taels of silver that Xu Xue transferred to her every month, thinking of Xu Yongyi getting up early every day and being greedy for darkness, Zhao Ruxi didn't feel good in her heart.
People are so strange and contradictory. If Xu Yongyi felt that she was rich and no longer gave her dividends, Zhao Ruxi would definitely feel uncomfortable in his heart, and he would not give him the new recipe again; But Xu Yongyi really gave her the money, and she couldn't help it.
"That won't work. What kind of quartz sand is just this, no one mentions it, and it is something that I can't remember for a lifetime. As long as the secrecy is done well, others will not be able to learn it. That's the secret recipe. Uncle can't take your secret recipe for nothing. ”
In the end, Zhao Ruxi and Xu Yongyi pushed it for a long time, and Xie said: "Okay, since Sister Xi is unwilling to accept this money, you can keep it." When she gets married in the future, you can add more makeup to her. ”
Xu Yongyi was silent.
When Zhao Ruxi was leaving, he reminded: "Uncle, you can also try fried melon seeds and peanuts." ”
Xu Yongyi was stunned, nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Xu Xue saw Zhao Ruxi going out, and followed out: "I'll send my sister." ”
Following Zhao Ruxi out, she chirped: "Sister, my new script has been sold." I negotiated with the shopkeeper like you, and I wanted to raise the price, and he really raised the price for me. ”
"Really, that's amazing!"
Hearing Zhao Ruxi's praise, Xu Xue's big eyes suddenly turned into a crescent moon with a smile: "Sister, for the first script, I have already won two taels of silver." ”
"There will be more and more in the future. Write well, sister is waiting for you to become a great writer. Zhao Ruxi encouraged.
"Well, I'll write it well. Sister, you don't know, my father praised me whenever he met people, and he praised me embarrassed. ”
His daughter made money at a young age, not embroidering and weaving cloth or making snacks, but writing a script and such an elegant thing, Xu Yongyi was not proud. During this time, he praised everyone and became a dazzling woman.
Thinking of that picture, Zhao Ruxi laughed dumbly.
She patted Xu Xue on the shoulder: "Calm down, just get used to it." ”
