Guo Mianmian can't be counted, too small and has no strength. But Zhang Sheng is good, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, he has a lot of strength.

Give three cents for each trip, but Zhang Sheng has to go with Daddy Guo to chop wood every day, just two times a day. As soon as Guo Mianmian explained this, Guo's father also thought that this idea was good, and Zhang Sheng felt that he was quite happy to earn six yuan, and they hit it off, and the matter was decided.

Seeing that this was done, Mianmian was also relieved, she was still too young now, even if she followed her father, she couldn't help if something really happened. She knows the brother of the Zhang family, and she has the strength to go up the mountain together in addition to Zhang Sheng, who can also take Zhang Quan, who can help.

After the matter was decided, Father Guo and Zhang Sheng went to the mountain again and fetched a lot of firewood. The two of them worked hard for a while before they loaded the cart, and Daddy Guo also found a good place for Guo Mianmian to sit down, so the three of them pushed the cart back to the town.

I finally got home, and it was getting dark. Zhang Sheng helped put the firewood in the firewood room, and Father Guo was blamed by his mother for a few words, and hurriedly took out the ginseng from his bag, and said a little proudly: "Mother, you see, our trip up the mountain was not in vain, this was all found by Mianmian." ”

"What is this...... This, ginseng?! ”

Grandmother was shocked, although it was two thin ginsengs, it was not easy to find two?

Guo Mianmian had already nested by the stove again, squinting her eyes like a kitten, yawning, and snorting: "I found these things." ”

Although he said that he was reliving a lifetime, he was only eight years old now, and he still had the temperament of some children, and even his tone had a faint pride that could not be hidden.

"Mianmian's luck is so good, it's really a little blessing for my grandmother."

Left Zhang Sheng to eat, and the family told Zhang Sheng about asking Zhang Sheng to help transport firewood, and after everyone ate, they saw that it was dark and left Zhang Sheng at home for the night.

Early the next morning, Guo's father took Zhang Sheng back to his hometown to chop wood, and Guo Mianmian, who got up late, drank porridge while holding his chin, thinking about what the family should do to make a living.

"Grandmother, mother, we should also think about what we can do to make a living, otherwise we will be like a fool to stay at home every day and have nothing to do."

Guo Mianmian directly said his thoughts.

"We still have some money at home, and we don't expect to make a big profit, so we can do something to pass the time. It's best not to be too tired of your grandmother and mother, just keep it simple. ”

"How can there be such a profitable and not tired business in the world as you said?"

Listening to Guo Mianmian's thoughts, grandmother and Hu both laughed, it was really a child's mentality.

After all, reliving for a lifetime, Guo Mianmian really knows such a livelihood.

This is something I only knew when I accompanied Liu Ci to study in my previous life, if it weren't for saving this money, Guo Mianmian wouldn't be able to practice such good cooking skills. If it weren't for Liu Ci's fear of embarrassment, Guo Mianmian would have wanted to do it herself.

"Grandmother, do you think my mother's cooking is delicious?"

Grandmother nodded, a little surprised, and asked, "Do you want to go out and set up a food stall?" That's not good, Mianmian, you still have a little brother in your mother's belly, what if you want to be hit? ”

"Grandmother, how could I let my mother go out to set up a stall, you listen to me." Guo Mianmian shook his head and said, "A few days ago, my father and I went up the mountain to chop wood, and my father said that this year is afraid that it will be a cold winter. I thought, we can prepare more firewood and more food at home, but what about the students of this academy? What do they eat for the winter? ”

"Do you want us to be in the business of college students? It's not bad to use the gold to buy a shop, but when the day comes, my mother's belly is also big, and I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. ”

"Mother, I didn't plan to buy a shop."

Grandmother also felt strange when she heard this: "If you don't support a stall or set up a shop, it's hard to walk the streets and alleys." ”

Guo Mianmian smiled: "No! ”

Seeing the puzzled looks of his grandmother and mother, Guo Mianmian hurriedly said his thoughts - to deliver food to the door!

It's late autumn and it's too cold. Even students from poor families will bring tea stoves and charcoal fires, or put a few pennies on it, so that the kitchen will heat up the food before it is eaten, even if they are poor, they will at least ask for some hot tea, at least it will not cool their stomachs. Not to mention the slightly better people, there are people who live close to each other to deliver meals at noon, and if you live far away, you mostly rely on the scholars to go out to run errands, and the academy does not have a long rest at noon.

The people who live around their homes are all scholars, and they all want to warm the house anyway, and when the time comes, they will show their hands to the neighbors, and the extra dishes will be distributed to everyone to take back. Although it costs a little more, it is much less than supporting stalls and buying shops, and it can still make a name for itself.

When the weather gets colder again, we ask my father to make a few big baskets, put a big soup woman at the bottom, and then fill the food on top and send it to the academy, and the business will definitely work.

"After all, it's cooking at home, just make some simple and delicious meat sauce, warm soup, as long as you watch the fire, you don't have to work too much. As for the handling of things, isn't there still me and my father at home, do you think this is good? ”

"Besides, now that my father and brother Zhang are transporting firewood together, it is not difficult to save more firewood. I will also go back to the village to pick up more mushrooms and fruits, and it is best to collect some dried vegetables from the big guys in the village, and it is best to eat stewed meat in winter. ”

Grandmother and Hu couldn't help but smile when they heard Guo Mianmian's plan, and said directly: "You little clever ghost has planned it, and you came to ask us what we are doing, and when your father comes back to discuss it with him." ”

Daddy Guo came back at night and listened to it, and he didn't have anything to say, and he praised Mianmian's thoughts.

In this way, all the Guo family is thinking about now is how to save more firewood, and the menu of the neighbors for the banquet on the day of the warm house.

ran several north-south stalls in a row, compared the fat, lean meat, pork belly, big bones and water of many families, and finally settled down, among which Guo Mianmian also took a lot of ideas.

In addition to the pork shop in the south stall, Guo Mianmian also intended to have some rabbits in the north stall, just for a pot of delicious paddle offerings, because in the process of playing with rabbit meat, it is like a sunset into the eyes, so it has this name.

To put it bluntly, this Xia confession is rabbit meat cut into thin slices in the white soup, and this name is not the Guo family's own dish when you hear it. Indeed, this is something that Liu Ci liked to use to entertain guests in his previous life. Guo Mianmian also knew from this dish that those literati liked these virtual things the most, and now the students in the academy should be the same, and they will definitely be very popular in winter.

Thinking of this, Guo Mianmian smiled and took his father to the grocery store, bought a lot of soy sauce, sweet and sour rice, noodles, green onion and ginger, and went to the pharmacy to buy a lot of spices such as star anise, cinnamon, and cloves.

The warming of the house is still a matter of the future, and today the Guo family plans to test the dishes that will be made that day, so as to prepare some old soup in advance. In order to have more reference significance, Guo Mianmian also invited Zhang Sheng and Zhang Quan to taste it. The brothers also brought a big fish with them.

Hu Shi, who didn't know some dishes, heard that there were still guests, and the guests also brought dishes, which made him even more nervous.

"Mother, what are you afraid of when your cooking is so delicious?" Guo Mianmian comforted her mother, while helping to process the ingredients, picking garlic and washing vegetables and choosing vegetables.

Hu Shi glared at his daughter with a smile, and once again typed the draft in his heart.

The feast was not easy, and six dishes were ordered, the main course was a baxia offering, a broth made of fish and sheep, and the spices were ginger, cloves and almonds. Soup is not easy to boil, and although it is served later, it must be prepared first. There is no need to worry about the vegetables that are eaten with rabbit meat.

The lamb in the broth should be re-fished out and made into dry fried lamb. The already stewed soft meat is fried again, and with the cumin and chili peppers that Guo Mianmian's characteristics go to Hu Ren, it is even more flavorful. This should also be prepared later, and you have to wait for the main dish to be almost ready, but the oil must be refined first.

These two dishes Hu Shi listened to Guo Mianmian, she hasn't done it yet, so I'm afraid that it will be smashed, although the rabbit is cheap, but the mutton is expensive!

Fish bones are needed to boil the soup, and the fish meat is made into balls, fried with small rape, which is often done during the New Year, and Hu is a skilled hand, so he will let Daddy Guo help chop it later.

I also want to make a mushroom bean stew, which is Hu's specialty dish, and it is also Guo's father's favorite, plump and thick, which is the practice handed down by Guo's grandmother, and it is also Hu's most sure dish.

In addition to these big dishes, there is also an onion pork liver and a scrambled egg with green peppers, both of which are quick and simple.

After sorting out the menu in his heart, Hu Shi pulled out a large piece of fatty meat, quickly cut it into slices and put it in the pot, added a spoonful of warm water, and let it slowly boil in the pot. Watch as the water in the pot is boiled dry, the edges of the meat pieces are gradually browned, and the rich aroma of meat appears in the air.

Zhang Sheng came over to light the fire very diligently, and swallowed saliva as he looked at the white meat slices.

The sound of saliva affected his brother, and Zhang Quan was still helping to chop wood outside, when he smelled bursts of meat fragrance in the room, but it was fragrant.

Even Daddy Guo, who was making fish balls, followed the fragrance, only to see Hu Shi pressing the meat slices in the pot while stir-frying, watching the meat slices from the edge to gradually transparent, and the oil flowers continued to flow out of the meat slices, the original white and tender meat slices rolled and shrank, the color became more and more golden, and the volume became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into crispy oil residue. The oil residue was put up and put in a wooden basin, and it was crispy with a clattering sound.

Put the hot oil in the pot, turn off the fire below, take advantage of the hot oil, put in the chopped shallots, green onions, and minced garlic, and make a sound, the oil fragrance is mixed with the aroma of these ingredients, and the nose is drilled into the nose with a "swish", and it can't be stopped.

Guo Mianmian didn't pick up the garlic anymore, and said directly: "Mother, what are you doing, it's so fragrant, when can you eat?" ”

Grandmother nodded Guo Mianmian's head and said, "Little gluttonous cat, this is just the beginning of oil refining, if you want to eat, it will take at least an hour!" ”

"Ahh

Not only Guo Mianmian, but even Zhang Sheng, who helped to light the fire, sighed quietly.

Fry the fish bones in lard until golden brown on both sides, and Hu immediately added hot water and mutton with blood removed to the side, and left them in the pan.
