Chapter 61: Pretzels
"The so-called book has its own golden house." Qi Jiuli smiled and groaned, "Now you can't bring us the money." ”
After that, Qi Jiuli also sprinkled some seasoning powder on sweet potatoes, potatoes, and wild vegetables, and the group of five people ate happily, and they were all impressed by this new taste.
After eating, Qi Shan and Chi Lingmiao sat for a while, and found that there was no reaction after eating the medicinal herbs, so they went home with confidence.
"Sister, what are we going to eat at night?" After Qi Shiyi tasted the fresh food, he looked forward to Qi Jiuli's cooking skills more and more.
"The ones I just ate were fed to the dogs." Qi Shixiang glared at Qi Shiyi and said, "You have to wait until my brother comes back and give it to my brother, you have no share." ”
"By the way, what about the meat buns and pastries I got back?" Qi Jiuli suddenly thought of it, she remembered that she had given Qi Shixiang.
"Sister, I've already eaten meat today, let's eat the meat bun tomorrow morning." Qi Shixiang said, "There are also pastries, the weather is still cold now, and they are not easy to spoil." ”
"At night, the meat bun is hot, one pastry is a snack for the three of us, and the other is for my brother to take to the private school." Qi Jiuli distributed, "Those were all given by Uncle Jiang, the chef of Renqiuwei Restaurant, it didn't cost anything, what are you worried about." ”
"Alright, keep up, I have something big to say." Qi Jiuli got up and went back to the house, and Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi followed curiously.
Qi Jiuli closed the door tightly and took a preventive shot in advance, "Don't make a fuss when you see anything later, forget it, you better cover your mouth first." ”
Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi looked at each other, and then obediently complied.
Qi Jiuli took out the purse that had been hidden tightly before, and threw it on the kang in a heavy and atmospheric manner, the sound of "knock-" was silver when he heard it, and if he could knock out such a loud sound, the silver would definitely not be small.
Qi Jiuli stepped forward to open the purse, his mouth was down, and all the silver of the white flowers was poured on the kang, Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi gasped, their eyes widened.
It's good to cover my mouth, otherwise I would have screamed in surprise by now.
"Calm down." Although Qi Jiuli said this, his hand that picked up the five taels of silver ingots was still happy, and his face was full of smiles.
"I'll take a look when I'm calm." Qi Jiuli smiled at Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi.
The two of them used their hands and feet together on the kang, and in disbelief, they picked up the silver ingot and put it in their mouths and bit it.
"Sister, is this true?" Qi Shixiang was stupid, and when he saw the saliva on the silver ingot, Qi Jiuli twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Second sister, it's true." Qi Shiyi held the silver ingot in his hand and replied loudly.
Qi Shixiang was so frightened that she covered Qi Shiyi's mouth, "Be quiet." ”
Qi Shiyi nodded repeatedly.
"Sister, where did all this come from?"
Qi Jiuli told the source of the twenty taels of silver, and also said that the spices he had just made could still make a fortune, so the two of them were so shocked that they didn't know how to speak, so they could only show a look of surprise and joy on their faces.
"So can we eat some and celebrate?" Qi Jiuli looked at Qi Shixiang and asked.
"Eat steamed buns and pastries at night." Qi Shixiang nodded in agreement.
"It shouldn't be a big problem for me to cook with more oil and a few eggs that night." Qi Jiuli held up the silver ingot in his hand and said with a proud face.
"Not asking." Qi Shixiang shook his head as if he was attracted.
"Eldest sister, what are you doing at night?" Qi Shiyi asked.
"Make hash browns, use ground seasonings, and let you taste my craft." After Qi Jiuli grinded the peppercorns, he thought of pretzel potato cakes.
"Sister, my brother has enough money to study." Qi Shixiang held the silver, and her eyes were a little wet.
Qi Jiuli touched the top of Qi Shixiang's hair and nodded, "Don't worry, my sister will make good money in the future, not only my brother can study, but also eleven, and the days in our family will get better and better." ”
Qi Shiyi also had red eyes, lowered his head, and didn't let the two sisters see it, he was a man, even if he cried his nose, he couldn't be found.
"Sister, how did you know this?" Qi Shixiang looked at Qi Jiuli with wet eyes.
"I always feel that I have seen it in a medical book, although I can't remember where I read it, but I remember that the medicinal herbs I saw can be used as spices, and you say that I am not very good." Qi Jiuli praised himself.
Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi nodded very convincingly.
"Sister, brother is coming back soon." Qi Shiyi looked at Qi Jiuli and said.
Qi Jiuli seemed to see the appearance of potato cakes in his eyes, got up with a smile, and put away the silver.
couldn't directly press under the bottom of the box, after Qi Jiuli and the three of them moved the box, they dug a small pit underneath, and then put the oil paper seal with all the belongings in it, and moved the box back again, before going to the kitchen to work.
Qi Jiuli steamed potatoes with a bamboo grate, put three meat buns together and heated them by the way, and then used another stove to fry the salt, put the fried salt into the pepper powder and cumin powder he scooped in the bowl, stirred evenly, and the pepper and salt were ready.
When the potatoes are cooked, peel them and crush them all with a spoon, add an egg, put white noodles, then add salt and pepper, mix the ingredients in the wooden basin and knead them well, and then divide them into small balls.
Qi Qizhu hasn't come back yet, Qi Jiuli is not in a hurry to fry the potato cakes, but first cut the celery, cut it finely, put some lard in it, fry it, put in water and salt, cover it and boil.
"Eldest sister, my brother is back." Qi Shiyi's excited voice came from outside, Qi Jiuli fried the potato cakes in another pot, and fried them on both sides with lard, a total of twenty-five of them the size of an adult's palm, and asked Qi Shixiang to send ten to the uncle's house, and the rest was fried and put into a small basket.
A basket of potato cakes, three large meat buns, and then a pot of celery soup were brought to the table of the Eight Immortals in the hall.
"What does it smell so good?" Qi Qizhu had never smelled such a fragrance and was very curious.
"Brother, try it." Qi Jiuli smiled and gave Qi Qizhu a potato cake.
The outer layer is salty and fragrant, and the inside is soft and glutinous, not an ordinary salty taste, Qi Qizhu doesn't know how to describe it, the taste is the first time to taste it, but it is exceptionally delicious, "What's more?" ”
"Hey, new spice." Qi Jiuli said with a smile.
Qi Shiyi couldn't hold back his words, and said everything again, and didn't forget to stuff potato cakes in his mouth and scoop celery soup to drink.
Qi Qizhu didn't expect Qi Jiuli to go to Jinshui Town today, not only negotiated the charcoal business, but also sold the food shop, and Ming'er also went to sell spices, and the family now has more than 20 taels.
There were only three meat buns, and Qi Qizhu sandwiched one to Qi Jiuli, "It's hard work." ”
Qi Jiuli took the buns back, "Brother, I won't lose myself, I've already eaten it, the hot meat buns that have just come out of the oven, even the pastries are now tasted, brother doesn't eat it, I won't eat it first in the future." ”
Qi Jiuli insisted, Qi Qizhu was helpless, but he could resolutely divide half of Qi Jiuli, Qi Jiuli had no choice but to fry the bacon left over from the afternoon and watch Qi Qizhu eat it all.
