55. Crayfish
What Meng Wei saw was not a crayfish!
She thought that she would travel to this dynasty that did not exist in history, and she would be insulated from crayfish, after all, crayfish were still invasive species from abroad in history, but she didn't expect that there would be crayfish here, which has to be said to be an unexpected joy.
Not to mention what Master Xu said just now, it seems that he has seen this crayfish for a long time, so he is so familiar with crayfish.
Could it be that crayfish were also common in this dynasty?
Thinking so, Meng Wei also asked: "This little dragon green worm, do you have a lot of them here?" ”
"Isn't it?" Master Xu nodded, without the slightest doubt, "This green worm is hateful, it has damaged a lot of crops, and this thing can not be eradicated, and the reproduction is strong, but unfortunately it can only be used to feed chickens and ducks, but we don't necessarily raise them in every household, and even if we raise them, we don't raise much." ”
Meng Wei's heart moved, and then asked, "How many green worms have you caught now?" Give it to me when I'm gone, and I'll give you silver, but not too much. ”
"What? What's the use of you asking for this green worm? The man's father was a little incredulous, "This green worm is not worth much, you, if you want it, we will give it to you." ”
The old woman on the side also nodded, and her face did not hear the silver and was greedy.
This family is honest!
Meng Wei was a lot satisfied with this family in her heart, in fact, Meng Wei didn't know if their days were short of food and clothing, but from the linen clothes they were wearing, Meng Wei could roughly guess that this family was much worse than Master Xu, maybe it was a little better than the previous life of the original owner.
But in this case, their family is realistic, in their eyes, crayfish are just like caterpillars in the eyes of croppers, but they are not worthless to Meng Wei.
It is said that there is no business and no treachery, this kind of thing that does not require money and is valuable is indeed good according to the nature of businessmen, but Meng Wei has always taken a long-term view.
Now that the chili pepper is available, if you want to have a steady stream of crayfish in the future, and even let the crayfish become popular in Dalan, then this crayfish must be given money, even if it is a little apprentice who helps her novice, and helps the people in this village to live a better life, Meng Wei will naturally not be short-sighted and do not want money.
Therefore, Meng Wei looked at Master Xu: "I like this green worm very much, you buy it and give it to the teacher, even if it is an apprenticeship for the teacher." ”
"How can this work?" Master Xu disagreed with his face, and felt that this apprenticeship was a little light, "Even if you don't talk about the pigs and sheep that are ready for sacrifice, at least you have to have something decent, this green worm is not worth much, if the master wants it, the apprentice will buy it, and he should be filial to the master, but this must not be confused with the apprenticeship." ”
Seeing that Master Xu was so sincere, Meng Wei didn't insist on saying it anymore, but this crayfish could never back down, she fooled the little Hou Ye yesterday to buy so many chili peppers, even if the dozens of taels of silver were not worth mentioning to the Hou Mansion.
But she has gone from a small smashing maid to a second-class little maid in the Sichuan Courtyard, not to mention that she has risen too fast, because of Ye Zichuan's instructions, she can also eat meat at once, and she has also received a few times of silver, even if she will give some delicious food to the people nearby, but it is inevitable that there will be people with red eyes and sore teeth chewing the root of their tongues in the back, this kind of person is not lacking in both modern and ancient times.
Because Meng Wei recently discovered that Mrs. Hou Ye was becoming more and more appreciative of her, offending the interests of some people and making some people dissatisfied, Meng Wei could still feel it.
If these chili peppers don't work correctly, then someone will definitely chew the root of her tongue behind her back, saying that she is pampering her master to spend money indiscriminately.
Although Meng Wei naturally has a way to go back, but now she is fledgling, even if she has the heart to envelop the people in the mansion in such a short half a month, but to put it bluntly, others praise you on their faces and say some flattering and flattering words, but if there is a conflict, one is an old man in the Hou Mansion for many years, and the other is her little maid who has only been in the mansion for half a month, which is more important, there is no need to think about it at all.
Originally, Meng Wei planned to make spicy dishes such as boiled fish, but thinking that the people here had never eaten dishes made of chili peppers before, so they might not be able to stand it too spicy all of a sudden.
If you make other dishes, if you put less chili peppers, it will inevitably lack taste, and if you put too much, it will be daunting.
But crayfish is different, crayfish are small, even if there are a lot of chili peppers, but at first they will not feel spicy, because they will put some sugar when cooking.
Like chronic poison, people will become addicted in the process of continuous eating, and the spicy taste will also appear little by little, but at that time, even if the spicy is uncomfortable, I can't help but want to continue eating.
Master Xu smiled deeply when he saw the jar in Meng Wei's hands, so he said to the man: "Master is right, I can't take advantage of you for no reason,"
After the words fell, Master Xu took out a small ingot of broken silver from his purse, which looked like it should be the size of one or two coins, which should not be a small amount.
"This doesn't work"
"This is what you won, although this green worm may be worthless to you, but not necessarily for me and my master, didn't you spend all your efforts to plant rice this year? I don't know if it will be successful in this first year, so you can keep some money for it, and then you can buy seeds. ”
The people looked at each other, and finally the older man sighed: "Qiangzi, you can continue, Xiao Xu, thank you so much today, don't worry, we will send these four jars of green worms to you later." ”
Master Xu nodded, and then walked with Meng Wei again.
When he couldn't see the figure of the Nahu people just now, Master Xu said: "I heard that the life of the Qiangzi family in the village is not easy. ”
"What about rice? Just now, I saw that there didn't seem to be paddy fields in other fields, could it be that his family grows rice in this village? ”
It's no wonder that Meng Wei asked, out of the family that has a large variety of wheat in the north in addition to paddy fields, rice is generally grown in the south, because of the climate, soil and water conservancy, as well as some dietary habits, so it is indeed difficult to grow rice in the north.
However, for Fang Cai's family to have the courage to try different ornaments, in Meng Wei's opinion, this point is quite desirable at that time, and the first person to eat crabs always needs courage.
When the village chief on the side saw Meng Wei asking about the family, he couldn't hide the question in his heart anymore, and asked tentatively: "Little girl, you just said that you wanted to accept the green worm, could it be used for cooking?" ”
But his mother-in-law has also done this, but the taste
It can only be said in one sentence.
