Chapter Forty-Eight: Red Tape Is Unacceptable
The Xiao family is naturally indispensable to eat, and Mrs. Xiao can still eat this thing on a snowy day, and she also sighs that Xi Hongdou can be Zhang Luo, and she will be a good daughter-in-law in the future.
Master Xiao also took it to give gifts and left the favor, and this little new thing also showed his face.
The Xi family sold the crabs for money, and Xi Hongdou hurriedly settled the account, and once the cost of raising crabs was gone, there was a lot of money left, and after sharing it with his brothers, he was waiting for the next wave.
Because Xi Hongdou has crabs to sell here, the quantity is still large, many people from restaurants and restaurants also come to order, Xi Hongdou let his hometown continue to transport, Kyoto City is not lacking is the rich, as long as the thing is good, the thing is really not worried about sales, than in the Yunzhou City market to sell faster.
The cook of the Xiao family got the crab, which is steamed, or boiled, Xi Hongdou thought about it and went to the kitchen by himself.
When the cook saw Xi Hongdou, he also greeted him warmly, the maids who had provoked Xi Hongdou before had been replaced, and now no one dared to provoke Xi Hongdou again.
I found some chili peppers, got a lot of spices, and collected all the star anise cinnamon bay leaves, and began to fry the spices, and then made a bowl, and cut the steamed crab into several petals, and finally made a big pot of fried spicy crab.
It's the first time that Uncle Fang, the cook, has seen such a way of eating, although he choked to death when he stir-fried the ingredients, but the bite of this finished thing is really salty, spicy and fragrant!
"This is the way to eat in the girl's hometown?" Uncle Fang asked.
Xi Hongdou shook his head: "No, my own way of eating, I have been eating steamed and boiled for the past few days, I'm afraid everyone will get tired of eating." ”
Uncle Fang nodded, and then asked for the formula, he would do it in the future.
Xi Hongdou is also made casually, and it is not a secret recipe, so he wrote it.
When eating, Xiao Zhi felt very palatable, the weather was cold, and it was really good to eat something hot.
Xi Hongdou looked at the thing he made, and had some ideas, and then went to find Uncle Fang.
"Uncle, if this thing is fried more, is it convenient?" Xi Hongdou asked.
Uncle Fang was puzzled, so he asked: "There are not many people in the family, how much can the whole family use, how much do you want?" ”
"Big pot, I want to open a small restaurant." Xi Hongdou said, the shop of the grain store is really big, and the crabs are also sold outside, and there is basically no need for the space inside.
Uncle Fang nodded: "It's not difficult, anyway, you can count any ingredients used, according to the recipe." ”
Xi Hongdou nodded, but still said: "This recipe is just my preliminary estimate, and it is all random to put more and less." She was afraid that the qualitative change would cause the quantitative change, and if a certain one was put too much and it would have an impact, the formula would be basically useless.
Uncle Fang thought about it for a while, and said, "Then I'll study and study, I'll get this material after dinner during the day, and I'm sure I can research the best!" ”
Xi Hongdou smiled, and then whispered: "Uncle Fang, if you can see it, Uncle Fang's benefits are indispensable!" ”
"It was originally a recipe given by the girl, so the benefits are not needed!" Uncle Fang also figured it out, he didn't have a place to get crabs, but if he didn't work as a cook at his employer's house in the future, he could open a small stall by himself, and it would not be a loss to have one more dish.
Xi Hongdou hurriedly gave Uncle Fang a thumbs up and said, "Uncle Fang is the best!" ”
Uncle Fang studied the fried ingredients at home, and Xi Hongdou planned that this was fast food, the crabs cooked quickly, and when making them, they only needed to put the fried ingredients in and season them, which was simple and fast.
During the day, Xi Hongdou tossed in the store, and there were few tables, chairs and benches in the restaurant, but Xi Hongdou didn't have those things now, so he didn't let them go, whoever wants to buy them, just pack them and take them away, she didn't bring a basin, she can provide this, just leave a deposit, lest her pots and jars disappear.
After thinking about it, Xi Hongdou waited for Uncle Fang's stir-fried sauce.
As the days passed, Kyoto Castle ushered in its first snowfall, and it was winter. Aunt Xi wrote a letter and asked her to go home during the New Year, and Xi Hongdou also wrote a reply, even if she wants to go home, she has to wait for the New Year's goods to be purchased here in Kyoto City, don't delay making money.
When the crab came, Xi Hongdou also deliberately tied the crab's tongs and feet with hemp rope, and then put it into a box and tied it with red rope.
Uncle Fang's stir-fry ingredients were finally studied, and a big pot was made, and Mrs. Xiao's yard was far away from the kitchen, and she could smell the chili peppers in the air, so she asked what to do.
The maid told Xi Hongdou what was tossing in the kitchen, and Mrs. Xiao went to the kitchen to take a look.
At this time, the smoke was billowing in the kitchen, and Mrs. Xiao thought it was on fire, but she was snoozed and tearful, and she sneezed non-stop, and she almost didn't lose her breath.
"What is this for?" Mrs. Xiao asked, and Xi Hongdou in the kitchen came out with his mouth and nose covered, and said, "Stir-fry the spices, Mrs. hide first!" She pondered that such a stir-fry is really too lethal, so lethal should go to the shop to fry it in the future, there is no one over there in the morning, and basically it can't hurt the innocent.
In the kitchen, Uncle Fang put out the fried spices, and put water in the pot, and the smoke was the end.
Mrs. Xiao muttered in her heart, knowing that Xi Hongdou has been busy with business these days, and now no one has ever passed the door, but after passing the door, it is not easy to show up. Xiao Fu also has a bit of a family background, so he won't let his daughter-in-law go out to do business and make that little money.
"Red Bean, you ...... The girl's family doesn't have to be so busy, and you can't shorten your food and clothing in the future, why are you still working so hard! Mrs. Xiao persuaded that she wanted Xi Hongdou to stop and stop worrying.
Xi Hongdou smiled, and then said, "Madam, if I want to buy something, do I have to ask for money from my family?" Whether to give it to Mrs. or not has to be considered. ”
"I must have pocket money every month." Mrs. Xiao said.
"What if the things I want to buy are so expensive that I don't have enough pocket money." Xi Hongdou asked.
Mrs. Xiao pondered what kind of sky-high price a woman in the back house could use, so she said, "If it is useful, go to the treasury to pay for it." ”
"And if it's useless, what else do I want?" Xi Hongdou smiled after asking: "Can't you buy it?" ”
"What did you buy that useless thing for? Also a waste of money. Mrs. Xiao said, "Women should also be able to run a house." ”
Xi Hongdou said: "So, what I want to buy, people may not think it is useful, if I buy it, I will definitely not run a family, if I don't buy it, I feel uncomfortable, so I spend what I earn, and no one can care about me." ”
Mrs. Xiao was stunned by Xi Hongdou's words, and Xi Hongdou's thoughts were a little ...... Dangerous! Since ancient times, men have supported the family and women have been the family, and Xi Hongdou is supporting himself by himself, which is too independent. From her thoughts, a woman who is too independent will definitely not be obedient, she has many ideas, and she is easy to rebel, and her son is afraid that she will not be able to be the head of the family in the future!
Xi Hongdou continued to work on his own, Uncle Fang found a pot that he didn't use, and Xi Hongdou took it directly to the store to see how to get a suitable pot.
Here, Mrs. Xiao was still immersed in Xi Hongdou's "rebellious" remarks, and seeing that Xiao Zhi was not studying at this time, she went over to exchange ideas.
"Son, this red bean is so good at tossing, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of my family in the future." Mrs. Xiao said: "If you don't want to talk about her, just keep the way of women, it's useless to make money!" ”
When Xiao Zhi heard this, he said: "If she likes to get it, let her go, if she doesn't get these, then there is no point in staying in Kyoto City, if she goes back to her hometown, what should I do?" ”
"What do you do? You can't live without her, what's the matter? When people go back to their hometown, they go back to their hometown! Mrs. Xiao was also speechless, and she didn't think that Xi Hongdou would be troublesome to live in Xiao Mansion, such a big mansion, Xi Hongdou would live in it, what she was worried about was her son's status in the family in the future!
Xiao Zhi was helpless, so he said: "As long as she is willing to stay in Kyoto City, I don't care about the rest, and I like to watch her toss, the young ladies of other families in Kyoto City are not like her, but they are not less tossed!" "Every day is stinky and beautiful, and it is compared, how can Xi Hongdou be simply good.
Mrs. Xiao felt that she had really given birth to a fake ......son, so she said, "There will be a day when you cry in the future, what if she patronizes her own business and can't take care of you?" A woman has to take care of her family well, and her husband and children are the right thing! ”
"I don't need his husband, I don't have children now, let alone a godson, I'll talk about it later, mother, you get busy first, don't delay my study!" Xiao Zhi said and hurried to discuss with the four gentlemen.
Mrs. Xiao was speechless, as if she was doing something too much!
In the evening, Mrs. Xiao talked to Master Xiao.
"Although Hongdou is a reliable one, but after all, he is also from the countryside, and there is still a gap between him and the daughters of other eunuchs in Beijing, and this rule should also be taught." Mrs. Xiao said that their circle of noblewomen will get together from time to time, and these few times she is either in prison, or she is not in Kyoto City, if someone talks about Xi Hongdou at the next party, she must also have something to do! Otherwise, those snobbish ladies and celebrities will definitely laugh at the background of the village aunt of Xi Hongdou!
Master Xiao didn't know much about women, and he couldn't think of it so much, so he said: "I see that the red bean people are very polite, and our family doesn't need those red tape, and we are tired and panicked!" ”
"You don't care, but what if someone else says something!" Mrs. Xiao said: "Do you think it's not easy for you men to work hard outside, but it's easy for us women?" How many pairs of eyes are staring, but if something goes wrong, how many people are waiting to see the joke! ”
Seeing that Mrs. was so excited, Master Xiao said, "Then what do you want?" ”
"Teach and teach, if you marry into the Xiao family in the future, you will be a member of the Xiao family, but you can't lose the people of the Xiao family!" Mrs. Xiao said, already having an idea in her heart.
