Yuan Changhe greeted the boatmen and jumped off the boat first.

"What's wrong? But the dishes were not sold, and I was wronged, waiting for my father to come back and call the shots for you? Yuan Changhe smiled and joked with his daughter.

"Cut!" Yuan Dongchu was arrogant, "What are you kidding, your daughter and I are so capable, how can I have such an unreliable result?" ”

"Oh—that's making money," Yuan Changhe said in a lengthened voice, "is that really the case?" Daddy's daughter is so capable, this thing needs to be celebrated. Let's go buy some leeks in a while, and take out a few eggs from the family savvy. Today, let's eat steamed dumplings filled with eggs and leeks, and treat our family to the beginning of winter. ”

The steamed dumplings he is talking about here are actually thinner mixed noodles, scalded with boiling water, and then rolled out with agents, and then wrapped into slightly larger dumplings, which are steamed and are called steamed dumplings.

The reason why the noodles are scalded is not just for the taste, but mainly because if they are not hot, the noodles are not sticky and cannot be rolled at all. Even if it is scald, it increases the stickiness of the noodles, and the steamed dumpling skin is not thin, and it is quite thick.

Such steamed dumplings definitely do not have the taste of modern steamed dumplings or dumplings. But here, for the families of Mao'er Lane, eating steamed dumplings made of mixed noodles is definitely an improvement in life.

"Mmmm, dad, you go and get busy first, I'll wait for you." Yuan Dongchu also happily agreed, without much explanation, his father's work has not been finished yet.

Yuan Changhe went back and finished the affairs on the boat with his companions, and more than two quarters of an hour had passed.

Saying goodbye to his companions, Yuan Changhe picked up the bundle of firewood that Yuan Dongchu had picked up, and the father and daughter went to the market in the town.

The evening market is not as lively as it is in the morning, but the permanent shops are still open, and there are scattered stalls with some home-grown vegetables or small utensils, hoping to do some business before dinner.

Leaving the dock, Yuan Dongchu turned the topic to what they wanted to buy: "Dad, let's buy half a catty of meat, buy a few catties of noodles, let's eat dumplings tonight." ”

She looked sideways at Yuan Changhe.

Yuan Changhe's footsteps paused obviously, and his answer was a little hesitant: "This...... Or, when my father changes careers and becomes a Chinese, life will be better, shall we eat dumplings again? ”

Yuan Dongchu knew that this was the case, she happily spread out her palms, shook them in front of Yuan Changhe's eyes, couldn't help but say, stuffed the little ingots into his hands, and said, "Buy it with the money I earned today, it can be regarded as my daughter's filial piety to you." ”

She flickered too fast, and Yuan Changhe didn't see what it was at all. But the touch of stuffing into your hand is obviously ...... Silver?

Surprised, it was indeed a small ingot.

"Where did it come from?" Yuan Changhe was inexplicably surprised, staring at the ingots in his palm, feeling that his eyeballs were about to fall, "Is it the noble person who bought wild vegetables who rewarded you?" You wild vegetable...... How do you sell it? ”

In his heart, Yuan Changhe actually didn't think that wild vegetables could be sold for money, things that grew wildly all over the mountains, things that poor people couldn't swallow, and rich people were not stupid, how could they spend money to buy them?

It's just that he was afraid of ruining his daughter's interest, so he didn't say it.

However, what his daughter is taking out now is actually one or two pieces of silver, which completely subverts his cognition.

Regarding Yuan Changhe's reaction, Yuan Dongchu was very proud, her eyes widened, and she said: "It's sold like that, I told the buying woman who came down from the boat to make meat buns and pork rib soup with scrambled eggs with purslane, fried pork slices, fried chicken slices and chicken shreds." ”

She spread her hands and said even more, "And they did." Then his master was pleased to eat, and gave him a reward. ”

“……”

Yuan Changhe was speechless for a long time, and then he sighed and muttered, "What kind of idea did you come up with?" Isn't that a bad thing? ”

Shredded pork, shredded chicken, pork buns, pork ribs...... It's a shame to mix it with wild vegetables......

Yuan Dongchu expressed dissatisfaction: "What do you mean by bad things? If it doesn't taste good, will people reward the silver? ”

Yuan Changhe was speechless, the preferences of rich people, he was a poor man, and he still really didn't understand.

Between the turns of his thoughts, he suddenly remembered Xiuchun and Xiaocui who went out with Yuan Dongchu this morning.

"How much silver did the nobleman give? How are you separated from Xiuchun and Xiaocui? Yuan Changhe asked.

"The money for the vegetables belongs to the two of them, and the reward ......" Yuan Dongchu talked about the income distribution of the three of them, which made Yuan Changhe feel very pleased.

Her daughter has grown up and become wiser. Not only can he do things, but he can also handle all aspects thoughtfully. If you think about it, you will marry someone in the future, and you will not let yourself be wronged.

"Okay, let's buy meat and noodles, and eat dumplings tonight." Yuan Changhe was full of energy, feeling that the soles of his feet were going to be windy, and stuffed the little ingots back into Yuan Dongchu's hands, "We will make money by ourselves at the beginning of Dongchu, you can keep this money yourself, and when you get married, just see what you like and buy what you want." Dad still has the money for his daughter to eat dumplings. ”

In the past few days, he has been looking for the number and rules of the Chinese people, and it seems that he has to hurry up. The girl had a little thought, and she earned eight taels of silver, and he couldn't wait for death as a father.

He cheered himself up with confidence, and climbed down the pole without preventing his baby girl: "Okay, let's buy another chicken and stew it for lunch tomorrow." ”

"......" Yuan Changhe was speechless for a moment, what should he do if he wanted to retract what he just said?

That night, the father and daughter of the Yuan family really improved. Chubby dumplings, with more meat and less vegetables, are dipped in vinegar and delivered to the mouth...... That incense, Yuan Dongchu was so moved that tears were about to flow.

After coming to this unfamiliar place for so long, she finally had a decent meal.

In the chicken coop in the yard, there is still an old hen bought from the market, which is only waiting to be slaughtered/killed tomorrow morning, and stewed for lunch.

At the beginning of winter, there were three hens in the house, but they were raised to lay eggs.

Strictly speaking, chickens in this era are raised to lay eggs. Except for the wealthy, usually, the chickens that people eat are old hens or roosters that are too old to lay eggs.

At the beginning of winter, there were old hens that did not lay eggs, and the chicks that were caught were raised, and they found that they were roosters, but they were not willing to kill them to eat at home.

In Yuan Changhe's concept, all the actions of his family are to save a dowry for his daughter.

This old hen is extremely resistant to stewing, and it can't be stewed at all for an hour. But the chicken stewed in this way is also extraordinarily delicious, both flavorful and chewy.

The money for buying meat, noodles and chickens, at Yuan Dongchu's insistence, is still the little ingot.

When buying cabbage, Yuan Changhe once suggested that you try it with the purslane or purslane at home, maybe it is really delicious.

As a result, Yuan Dongchu categorically rejected it on the grounds that that kind of eating was not eaten by poor families, and she would eat like that when her family had money.

Are you kidding? In just 20 days, she has a memory of her stomach baptized by wild vegetables, whether it is purslane, no matter how high the nutritional value is, how delicious the taste is, she is not rare.

She is now desperate to eat braised pork, stewed pork ribs, and roast chicken and duck, anyway, no matter how oily and watery, how tasteless, she is hungry for how to eat.

She is poor now, and she has never experienced eating wild vegetables in her life, and her eyes are shining green, okay?

Still eating wild vegetables?!

No!

Yuan Changhe didn't insist, he bought meat, chicken, and delicate white noodles, just a cabbage.

When the full amount of dumplings was sent to his mouth, Yuan Changhe also really sighed, the dumplings with more meat and less vegetables were really delicious and satisfying.

The father and daughter sighed while eating, the strong white noodles and meat-filled dumplings are definitely more delicious than steamed dumplings. If it's compared to mixed noodles, then I don't know how much better.

While chatting, Yuan Changhe suddenly said: "I met the daughter of the Lian family at the county wharf today. ”
