010 Encounter a thief on the way
Dark red ham cubes and cooked brown wild boar cubes form the base color, and the earthy yellow chestnut meat is dotted with distinct colors. The brown sauce of the whole dish is just right, and it evenly wraps around the surface of each piece of meat, which makes you feel appetizing.
Chef Wang took the lead in tasting, the first thing to taste was the wild boar meat pieces, the entrance was tender and slightly elastic, and sure enough, there was no wild boar's unique fishy atmosphere, the taste seemed to be diluted by some way, and the remaining little bit was harmoniously integrated into the flavor of the whole dish, so that people would not feel uncomfortable at all, and even because of this subtle taste, they ate a different flavor from ordinary pork.
"Good!" There is only one word, which is enough to show Chef Wang's affirmation.
Seeing this, the steward also took a pair of chopsticks, and the moment the dish was eaten, his eyes widened suddenly.
"This level is really ......" The steward swallowed what he wanted to praise, afraid that if he praised the village woman's cooking skills as well as the chef of Tai'an Building, Chef Wang would feel offended.
But...... It's really delicious!
The steward pinched several chopsticks in a row.
"How's that, can you take it like that?" Song Erniu saw the looks of the two, her heart was settled, and she asked the two with a smile.
The steward's slanted eyes looked at Chef Wang, only to see Chef Wang speak calmly: "Your method can be used, but only you know such a method, we buy it back and don't know how to deal with it, and we can't make dishes either." โ
"I'll teach you." Song Erniu doesn't care about authenticity.
For her, the method was only one of her many culinary skills, and she was in dire need of money at the moment, and she didn't mind telling them about it so that the wild boar could be sold.
Chef Wang's beard on his upper lip shook slightly: "You teach me?" It's your unique skill, and you're really willing to teach me. โ
"As long as you accept all the wild things I bring in the future, I will teach you for free." Song Erniu said sincerely.
Chef Wang was silent, and the steward didn't dare to eat anymore when he saw this, and Song Erniu looked at him even more nervously.
If you can't sell it to Tai'an Building, then you have to go to another house, and if you waste time, you may not be able to sell it for a good price......
Song Erniu was thinking in her heart, and suddenly heard Chef Wang's voice: "Okay, buy it." โ
"Really!? Thank you! I'll tell you right away what to do with wild boar! If you improve this method, it can also be used to deal with other fishy meats-" Song Erniu suddenly burst into flames and gushed endlessly.
But her words were intercepted by Chef Wang: "You tell me this method, I won't take advantage of you, I'll use money to exchange this method with you." โ
Dealing with money in exchange?
Song Erniu's mouth was open, and she forgot to close it for a while?
"Is that okay?" Chef Wang asked her again.
Song Erniu understood the shopkeeper's intentions, although it is a pity that she will have to find a buyer when she enters the city in the future, but she needs money now, and it is also a good thing to have an extra income. "Then thank you shopkeeper." โ
"It's a good idea, and it's worth buying it, but you have to promise me not to tell anyone about it again."
Chef Wang said.
Since he is so insistent, Song Erniu will naturally not be stubborn, who would not want the money sent to the door? What's more, this money is now equal to life-saving money.
"Good!" She agreed, took note of Chef Wang's appearance in her heart, and decided that she would have the opportunity to repay this generous and studious chef in the future.
Seeing this, the steward began to do things with great insight: "Then pleaseโwhat is this lady called?" โ
"My surname is Song."
"Okay, Mrs. Song, come with pork on your back."
The steward took her to weigh the pork, then allocated the money to her at the counter, and then led her to Chef Wang.
Song Erniu told Chef Wang how to deal with it alone, and he nodded while listening: "I see." โ
"Song Niangzi's method is very useful, this is said to be good for you."
After speaking, Chef Wang took out a silver ingot and handed it to her.
Walking out of the restaurant, Song Erniu touched the ingot silver in her arms, and her uneasy heart finally became more steady.
People came and went on the street, and there was a tea stall opposite, Song Erniu happened to be thirsty, so she went to the stall to buy a bowl of good tea for two pennies to drink, and it was delicious while drinking, as if this tea was honey water.
Next to her sat two thugs, who looked at her and looked at each other.
Song Erniu didn't notice the strangeness of the table, and after drinking tea, she came to the assembly place, and when she saw Uncle Cheng, she showed a big smile.
"What's the matter, it's sold?" Uncle Cheng was also worried about her.
Song Erniu turned around and asked Uncle Cheng to look at the empty bamboo basket behind her.
"Okay, it's good to sell itโ" Uncle Cheng smiled with relief.
Song Erniu put the bamboo basket on the ox cart and sat on the ox cart with her hands, smiling for a long time.
The pig weighed one hundred and fifty-two catties in Tai'an Building, and even the one weighed said that it was a rare good wild boar, perhaps because of Chef Wang, the price offered by the steward was very generous, twenty-five wen per catty, which was four or five wen higher than her expectations.
In this way, her pig was sold for a total of 3,800 yuan, and according to the conversion of the silver money of this dynasty, it was exchanged for three taels of silver, of which she split into five cents of silver and fifty yuan, and now these treasures are lying peacefully in her arms.
This is not counting the ingot of silver given by Chef Wang, Song Erniu estimated that there were at least ten taels, in short, enough for the family during this time, and you can also buy some things, buy small snacks and clothes for your son, and ...... Take Chu Mufeng to see the legs.
Song Erniu thought of the big and small in the family, and suddenly came back to her senses from the dizziness.
By the way, now that there is nothing at home, she has to buy some household goods to go back!
Thinking of this, she picked up the bamboo basket again, said hello to Uncle Cheng, looked at the sky, and ran towards the grocery market.
In the end, the bamboo basket was filled with a small half basket of things: a new bowl, two catties of meat, ordinary rice and flour, vegetable seeds, a bag of salt, and soaphorn and other things, all piled up in the basket.
At this time, the sun had begun to set in the west, and Song Erniu began to run wildly again, and came to the assembly point in less than a quarter of an hour.
"I'm sorry it's a little late, let's go." There were already many people gathered by the car, Song Erniu thought that the people had arrived and were just waiting for her, so she quickly apologized and unloaded the bamboo basket.
"Aren't you leaving?" After waiting for a while, there was no movement, Song Erniu asked the villagers next to her curiously.
The villager said impatiently.
"The boy said that he had gone to the carpenter to get the shaker for his son, and he had not come back for two quarters of an hour."
"That's it, if you don't wait for him, let's go first, it's too late." Some villagers suggested that they were full of worry when they watched the sunset in the west.
"Wait another quarter of an hour, and this kid told me he'll be back soon." Uncle Cheng also stared at the trajectory of the sun and fixed the ground.
Everyone was a little dissatisfied, but because of Uncle Cheng's words, they all endured the impatience in their hearts.
Finally, at the last moment before departure, a stocky man with a mole on his lips came with a cart.
"This cart has been lent out for a long time and has not been returned, which has delayed my business." He wiped the sweat from his head and grumbled.
"It's done, get in the car quickly, it's dark again!" The villagers muttered as they carried his small wooden bed into the car, and Uncle Cheng whipped his hands down, and the five of them embarked on the road back to the village.
The day was up and down, Song Erniu's spirit had reached its limit, and in the swaying rhythm of the ox cart, she quickly dozed off.
With his eyes slightly closed, the slum gathering place outside the city seemed to have countless ghosts.
While everyone was drowsy, the ox cart suddenly stopped.
Song Erniu woke up, opened her eyes, and looked around vigilantly.
The villagers also woke up from their drowsiness and asked aloud.
"What do you want to do?" Uncle Cheng's voice came from the front of the car, and although he tried his best to calm down, he still trembled a little.
Song Erniu was startled, squinted her eyes and looked ahead.
At this time, the sun had set behind the mountain, and the sky was a dull inky blue, and only the silhouette of a human could be seen in all directions.
The ox cart had just entered the fork back to the village, and there was not a single passer-by on the road.
There were five or six people standing in front of the ox cart, and they could only faintly see the outline, and they formed a human wall to block the way of the ox cart, obviously not a good person.
"Those of you who come to the market, you must have money in your pocket, hand over all the money to us, otherwise don't blame us for being polite!"
The leader, a tall man, called out viciously.
This is a roadblock robbery!?
Song Erniu didn't think twice, reached into the bamboo basket under cover, touched the firewood knife, quietly pulled it out and hid it in her arms, and waited for development.
