Chapter 123: Eating mapo tofu for the first time
Su Binghuai was busy outside, and it was already late at night when he came back. I was going to sleep with Li Daniu in the grass pile in the field outside, but after sleeping for an hour, I really felt very itchy all over my body, and mosquitoes flew around everywhere. When he opened his eyes, this Li Daniu was snoring, reaching out and pinching his arm, he didn't feel it!
Su Binghuai had no choice but to go to Zhao's house and take refuge with his brother-in-law. Zhao Laosan was a light sleeper, and woke up when he heard movement in the house, listening to the footsteps, he estimated that it was Su Binghuai.
Before Su Binghuai arrived at the door, Zhao Laosan opened the courtyard door, and Su Binghuai was taken aback: "I said brother-in-law, are you a ghost?" In the middle of the night, what are you doing at the door of your own house? ”
"I got up and opened the door when I heard your footsteps!" After Su Binghuai came in, Zhao Laosan closed the courtyard door.
"Hear footsteps? You're afraid that you're guarding against me, so you deliberately didn't sleep! "Where did Su Binghuai know about his brother-in-law's past, just as he was a villager with a big waist and a thick waist. In this night, Zhao Laosan has long been used to it, and with a little wind and grass, he will definitely wake up.
Early the next morning, this Su Binghuai got up very early, and when Zhao Laosan came up to grind tofu, he was ready to go out.
"Brother-in-law, if you want to do anything delicious in this house, remember to leave me a bowl!" After telling his brother-in-law, who was grinding tofu at the grinding plate, Su Binghuai walked outside while tying the belt of the gown around his waist.
Last night, Li Daniu touched the fish until almost four watches, and then went to rest in the straw bushes in the field. These large boxes of fish will all go to the kitchen of Zuishenglou today, make grilled fish, and sell them to the men who please the girls in Zuishenglou.
Although Su Binghuai can't go down to the river to fish, he is still very good at things like going to Zuishenglou to talk about business with the cook. The sale of grilled fish was negotiated.
When he arrived at the river, Li Daniu was already waiting for him, shirtless, pushing Zhao Laosan's cart, which was filled with four boxes of fat river fish.
The two of them pushed the cart together, and when they arrived at the market, it was dawn. At this time, it was the quietest time in the Zuisheng Building, and many sons and brothers came out of the door of the Zuisheng Building with wine bottles and staggered.
Su Binghuai had already discussed this matter with the cook in Zuisheng Building, and the cook was waiting for the two of them at the side door. Su Binghuai walked ahead and arrived in the kitchen in the dark.
The cook followed Su Binghuai's instructions yesterday, prepared peppers and spices for grilling fish, and specially prepared a small stove room for him. This is something that doesn't make effort and doesn't cost a little, and the chef head of this drunken building is naturally happy to do it.
Last time, Su Binghuai and Li Daniu made grilled fish and sold well at the temple fair in Xianghe Town. The two of them, now grilling fish in this drunken building, still feel full of confidence.
Li Da Niu kills fish and opens a knife, Su Binghuai pickles fish and grills fish, and after a while, in this small stove room, it will be fragrant. The cook of this drunken incense building has never grilled fish like this, and when he saw that the fish meat of the two of them was so fragrant, he hurriedly tasted it, and the chef ate it as soon as he ate it.
at the bazaar
Zhao Laosan took Su Mi to sell tofu and preserved fruits, originally the man was going to come to this market alone, but this little lady was stubborn and wanted to come with him. The man was very soft-hearted to this little lady, so he had no choice but to agree.
Men sell tofu on the side, and women sell preserved fruits on the side.
At first, these women didn't buy Su Mi's preserved fruits, but looking at these sweet preserved fruits, Su Mi was a little worried. The man's tofu has been sold for more than half of it, and when he saw her brown eyes, full of worry, he comforted her warmly: "Don't worry, lady, this preserved fruit is made for us to eat ourselves, these women don't buy it, let's take it back and eat it ourselves!" ”
"I've got to figure out a way!" Su Mi pursed her lips and frowned, remembering that when she was in the capital, every time her father took her to the preserved fruit shop in the market, these shopkeepers would be put on a plate with some preserved fruits for these people to taste.
Thinking of this, Su Mi smiled, went to the man to get a little oil paper, and put a little bit of this preserved fruit on this oil paper: "Come and taste it, fresh preserved fruit, it's not delicious and doesn't cost money!" ”
With this shout, there were really many women who led the dolls to taste the preserved fruits in front of Su Mi's shop. Seeing this, Su Mi stood up and handed them to the women and dolls one by one.
These preserved fruits are all selected top fruits, after returning home, they are washed several times with the cool well water in their own wells, and then dried in a dustpan, and some are also added with ice, and they taste sweet.
As soon as these women tasted it, they all gathered around Su to buy it. There are still dozens of catties of these preserved fruits, and after a while, there are only a few catties left. Su Mi saw that there were fewer people, so he counted the money he had just sold the preserved fruits, and it was a few dozen dollars.
Raising his eyes, a pair of clear and bright eyes full of smiles, staring at his man, his peach lips opened, revealing two rows of neat and just gourd seeds: "Husband, I knew this, we should have brought more preserved fruits to this market!" ”
Seeing that the little lady was very happy, Zhao Laosan smiled lightly, "It seems that the lady is still good at business!" ”
Being praised by his man like this, Su Mi's heart became more and more sweet, and he stuffed the money in his hand into the man's hand with a smile: "Husband, now I can also do business, and we will definitely get fatter and fatter when we are together!" ”
Seeing that the little lady gave the money she earned to herself, Zhao Laosan really couldn't cry or laugh, and shook her head sullenly: "The money that the lady earns herself, keep it for herself!" ”
"The money in the family is in the hands of the husband, and the husband's expenses are also busy with the work, where can I manage these silver money!" When he was in his mother's house, Su Mi went out to pick wild fruits every day, and all the money he earned had to be handed over to his father or his mother, and he never left any money for himself.
When the man saw her like this, he felt a little distressed in his heart, and hurriedly handed all the money from selling tofu in his hand and the money given by the little lady to Su Mi: "In the future, the lady will also think about it and try to manage the family's money!" ”
"Husband, why?" Su Mi really doesn't have any other thoughts, every day, whatever is missing at home, men buy it back, she is used to it.
In the black eyes, the white cheeks of this little lady are small and gentle, a pair of watery eyes are clear and transparent, and the tip of the small nose is stained with some crystal clear sweat beads. The man's heart softened, and he couldn't help but stretch out a big rough hand and rub it on her cheek a few times: "Lady, what are you asking me to say about you?" ”
"Then the husband won't say anything, just rely on me!" Su Mi looked sideways, stared at her man, and said coquettishly.
"Good! What the lady says is what it is, as long as the lady is happy, I will rely on the lady for everything! After staring at the attack in front of him for a moment, Zhao Laosan opened his thin lips and said softly.
The woman who sold the tofu family sold preserved fruits again, and the news spread after a while, and after resting for a while, Su Mi was surrounded by many women and dolls at the shop. But this preserved fruit is really not enough, seeing that the money earned today is quite satisfied, Su Mi handed all these preserved fruits one by one to the dolls held by these women.
Although these dolls grew up in the bazaar, where can the preserved fruits in those shops be compared with the preserved fruits made by Su Mi, eating Su Mi's preserved fruits, smiling and showing their rice teeth, only shouting that they want to eat.
"Tomorrow, I'll bring some more tomorrow!" There is only oil paper left in this shop, Su Mi looked at these dolls with a smile and said gently.
Seeing that his little lady was so kind and pure, Zhao Laosan felt more and more pity for her, and reached out to pull the hungry green silk on her neck that was stuck with sweat: "The lady doesn't look like she's here to do business, but like she's here to be Hu Bodhisattva!" ”
"Husband, you're going to make fun of me!" Su Mi put away the bag and reached out to pinch the man's strong arm.
The two of them went out late today, and it was already noon when they sold out tofu and preserved fruits. Zhao Laosan held his little lady, and when he saw her bulging belly, he couldn't help but feel distressed: "Lady, let's go back after we eat at the market!" ”
"I'm just hungry, husband, I want to go to Ruyi Building to eat braised pork!" Su Mi pursed a peach lip, put her hand in the man's wide palm, and said warmly.
"Okay, then let's go eat braised pork, and by the way, ask the boss to use the tofu we sold in the past to fry a mapo tofu!"
After speaking, he led his little lady to Ruyi Restaurant, and the shopkeeper saw that it was Zhao Laosan, and hurriedly let him and the woman in. A place was made against the window for the two to sit down.
Su Mi used the money he earned to eat today, not to mention how happy he was, seeing the braised pork ribs on this table, bright and clear sugar color, wrapped in delicious pork, he swallowed his saliva and sandwiched a piece for the man: "Husband, hurry up and eat!" ”
It was the first time for Su Mi to eat tofu made by himself in a restaurant outside. The shopkeeper gave enough portions, a large plate of tofu, and meat foam. As you eat it, you can see the aroma of meat and tofu.
Seeing that her little lady likes to eat mapo tofu, Zhao Laosan dialed some more into her bowl: "Lady eats, in the future, at our house, this tofu will also be fried and eaten like this!" ”
This is the first time Su Mi has eaten such delicious tofu, raising his eyes, staring at his man, his little face is full of crystal clear beads of sweat. The green silk like an ink painting scattered a few handfuls and stuck to the slender and white neck of the sideburns, but it added a bit of charm to this delicate cheek, and the man was a little out of his mind at once.
"Husband, will you do it?"
"As long as the lady wants to eat, I will do it!" The man was thinking, and when he checked out the bill for a while, he asked the shopkeeper how to make mapo tofu, and then went home to cook it for the lady.
Su Mi stretched out her hand to wipe the beads of sweat, and blinked a pair of watery eyes, her eyes were full of satisfaction. This month is older, and Su Mi's meal volume has begun to be larger than before, and eating a bowl of rice is not enough, the man added another bowl of rice to her. Seeing that her lips were stained with rice grains, she reached out and wiped her soft voice: "The lady eats a lot, if you don't eat enough, let's ask the cook to make another one!" ”
