Chapter 11 No Rabbit or Eagle Scattered
Of course, the buying mother-in-law was not thinking about rewarding Yuan Dongchu, she was thinking about completing the things that the eldest lady had explained. Therefore, when Yuan Dongchu and the three of them approached, the first thing she looked at was the three baskets they were carrying.
Because this is a wild vegetable picked in a hurry, I don't have time to tidy it up, so I don't pay so much attention to it. There is no shelter on the basket, and you can see the fresh wild vegetables in the basket at a glance.
Even though it was three baskets, there were more wild vegetables in them than they did yesterday.
"That's it?" The mother-in-law was slightly disappointed.
Yuan Dongchu pursed his lips and smiled: "We can pick more, but you also have to eat fresh here." Although wild vegetables are good to eat, the taste is not as good as growing vegetables after all, and it is not good to eat them as the main dish every day. ”
The mother-in-law only understood after a little doubt, and really sighed in her heart, she was old after all, and she was not as thoughtful as a girl when she considered things.
"Alright, that's all. It was indeed picked this morning, right? I'll see what the quality is. ”
She looked through the baskets of the three of them, and the wild vegetables were very fresh, and then nodded.
The mother-in-law thought of the ten taels of silver in her arms and felt that it was not worth it.
These country girls who have never seen the world have never seen so much silver, I am afraid that they have never seen so much silver when they grow so big! The two jujubes can send them away, and there is no need for so much.
Thinking like this, yesterday's arrogant look involuntarily appeared on his face, and said: "The wild vegetables you said yesterday are very good, do you have any other suggestions in terms of how to eat?" If so, tell my cook about it. ”
The cook beside her looked at Yuan Dongchu with a good eye, and waited for the next step with her ears open.
When Yuan Dong first saw that the two of them didn't mention the vegetable money, but asked about other wild vegetable practices, he couldn't help but feel disdainful.
Can't she give more wild vegetables, so they won't pay her for vegetables? Does your master know that you are so unclassy?
"This ......" Yuan Dongchu thought hard.
After a while, seeing that her mother-in-law and the cook were a little impatient, she remembered something and said, "Why don't you try to make a porridge with shredded chicken and mushrooms." After the porridge is boiled, put the shiitake mushrooms and shredded cooked chicken, and put the shepherd's cabbage before leaving the pot. ”
Well, it's freshly eaten, the mother-in-law nodded with satisfaction, and continued to ask, "Is there anything else?" ”
The cook didn't look very satisfied, just boiling porridge? It's too simple.
Yuan Dongchu was very unimpressed with the chef's performance. Even if she simply mentions the side dishes, the chef can try to make them with these ingredients, and she can succeed once or twice.
But if she doesn't say it, let them try it themselves, I don't know how many times, before they can optimize the combination of shiitake mushrooms and shredded chicken.
Not obvious on the face, Yuan Dongchu continued to make a hollowing out thought......
After a while, he said, "I pondered, the shepherd's cabbage can be fried with eggs, and it should taste good." If...... If you want to put some fried rice cakes too, it is best to ......"
She didn't believe it, the grinding here was not over, and the big ship parked at the dock, with so many people, would wait like this because of the selfishness of a buying woman and a cook.
Sure enough, the mother-in-law also frequently swept the direction of the big ship with the corner of her eyes, and kept urging: "I see that you are also smart and clever, why did you not succeed like this?" Since you plan to sell wild vegetables, wouldn't you think about a few more ways to do it in advance? ”
The agitation method is useless, Yuan Dongchu smiled apologetically: "Mama, we are very careful in collecting these wild vegetables." Many practices of wild vegetables, but after we inquired in many ways, we thought about it very carefully before we dared to recommend it to you. You've got the wild vegetables, so it should be nice to eat, right? Why don't you give us the money for the food first, and it won't delay your journey? ”
The mother-in-law's face froze, and she heard the meaning of Yuan Dongchu's words. Looking at the people coming and going on the dock, there will be people from time to time, looking at them a few times.
What's more, their own ship was still waiting to sail for the ship, and out of the corner of her eye, she had already seen the direction of the bow of the ship, and Steward Liu and the two shipwrights had frequently looked at her, and the meaning of urging was obvious.
Very reluctantly, the mother-in-law took out a string of money from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Yuan Dongchu, "This is thirty Wen, the price of buying your wild vegetables yesterday and today is not low." ”
Xiaocui and Xiuchun were overjoyed, and their smiles were completely irrepressible on their faces.
Thirty wen is so much, even if you take the lion's head at the beginning of winter, the two of them share the remaining forty percent, which is enough to buy a pound of miscellaneous grains, which is serious food.
Yuan Dongchu was not moved at all, took a string of money without changing his face, stuffed it to Xiaocui, turned around and thanked his mother-in-law with a smile: "Thank you, Mama, if there is nothing else, we will not delay Mama's journey, so we will leave first." ”
Thirty wen is enough to buy wild vegetables, but the practice of buying new dishes is ...... The one that came with yesterday is already very valuable, not to mention that she also prompted two ways to do it just now.
As for the other combinations and seasonings that taste great, they will go back and try them themselves. The wisdom of the working people is worth believing, and after a lot of experimentation with combinations, they will always try other delicious dishes.
As for whether the family's power threatens her...... Thinking about it, for the sake of a wild vegetable, the master of this family should not be so tasteless, and he will delay the trip because of this kind of thing, and then work hard to find a relationship, just to punish her as a girl from a poor people's family.
Can't afford to lose this person, right?
Moreover, it is very likely that this is just the personal behavior of the mother-in-law, and maybe the mother-in-law will not dare to chew her tongue more in this matter.
Sure enough, the mother-in-law filed the back molars fiercely. She heard that this little girl was a master who didn't see rabbits and didn't scatter eagles. Without a sufficient amount of exchange, Xiao Nizi will not give the dish recipe in vain.
Reluctantly, the mother-in-law put her hand into her arms again and took out a money bag, "Yesterday's dishes are very popular with my master, this is my eldest lady's reward, let the old woman ask you by the way, are there any other delicious mountain and wild vegetable recipes?" ”
Yuan Dongchu took the money bag, this is right. Judging from the feel, the money bag should contain a small piece of silver, and it feels quite regular.
She took the money bag and stuffed it into her arms without looking at how much it contained, showing a completely different atmosphere from her mother-in-law.
After that, he straightened his attitude and said: "Camelina slippery chicken slices, chicken slices taste better if you choose pheasant, cut the shepherd's cabbage after it has cooled and set aside, and the chicken is sliced ......."
"Purslane lean pork shoot dry soup...... Beef dandelion ......"
When Yuan Dongchu put the money bag up, the mother-in-law and the cook were still quite angry, ten taels of silver, just gave a poor girl with patched clothes, no matter how you look at her, she is not worth it.
But when they heard the poor girl talk about the wild vegetables one by one, the two of them couldn't care about their emotions, and just listened attentively, for fear of missing something.
At this time, the disadvantage of not being literate becomes apparent. Fortunately, there was a cook present, and Yuan Dongchu said that there are three kinds of shepherd's cabbage methods, one soup dish each for purslane and dandelion.
After the five dishes were finished, the chef could concisely repeat the content, and confirmed with Yuan Dongchu whether there were any omissions, which fully demonstrated the strong business quality as a professional.
I can't see what the buying woman is thinking, but the cook is properly satisfied. Don't look at the country girl, but she is really smart, today's dishes are not inferior to what I said yesterday. After that, she had a few more specialty dishes, and this trip was really not in vain.
