Chapter 22: Hot Pot
Come on, Zhao Jiaojiao is a nerd who has provoked a tendon. It's okay not to thank Zhao Jijiao for her kind reminder, but I feel that Zhao Jijiao is making trouble unreasonably.
"Xianggong, let's go, this person has a problem with his brain, and we won't do business with him anymore."
With that, Zhao Jijiao pulled Li out of the grocery store as usual and went to other shops.
Zhao didn't pay attention to the little episode in the grocery store, but Li remembered that person as usual.
Dare to say that his little lady, wait for him, if you don't beat your parents, you don't know him, and he won't be surnamed Li.
When the sun was about to set, Zhao Jijiao and they returned to their home, and after a day of shopping, Zhao Jijiao bought a lot of things, and the silver was estimated to have cost more than ten taels.
Li Ru was outside and moved the things he bought today into the house one by one, while Zhao Jijiao sat on the bed and counted how much money she spent today.
Take the ox cart because the uncle who drove the ox cart also has something to go to the town today, and he wants a penny for a person on weekdays, but today he only charged two cents, and when he came back, the ox cart they rented, in order to bring things back, of course, it was also because Zhao Jijiao didn't want to go, and spent fifteen yuan, so today's fare is seventeen yuan.
For lunch, because almost all the meat was ordered, I went to 220 yuan, mainly the spicy chicken, because it was a signature dish, it cost 999 yuan.
Li Ruchang's two sets of clothes were muslin, one set cost 880 yuan, and two sets were 12,760 yuan, but the shopkeeper only collected 12,500 yuan, and went to Maotou. Zhao Huiwen's is also made of muslin, but because it is worn by children, it is cheaper than that of adults, a set of 500 Wen, and two coarse cloths are also 500 Wen, so a total of 22500 Wen was spent in the cloth shop.
The ingredients and dishes bought in pieces add up to only one or two or three cents, so today a total of five two five hundred and thirty dollars a day, oh, I forgot that there are three more pastries, the pastries are a little better, one part costs one tael, three parts are a total of three taels, so today actually only spent eight two five hundred and thirty wen, ten taels of silver, but almost bought a car of things back.
Suddenly, Zhao Jijiao felt that in this ancient period, money was really valuable!
But I don't think that if it weren't for her special embroidery method and bought a good price, where would she get the money to squander it so casually.
Ten taels are all the expenses of ordinary people's families for two years.
As a result, Zhao Jijiao spent nearly ten taels of silver in one day, and she was lucky to meet Li Ruchang, who would hurt people, otherwise if she was replaced by a man next to her, it is estimated that she would have been beaten violently.
"Xianggong, what do you want to eat today? I bought a lot of dishes, and a fish, otherwise let's eat fish hot pot. ”
Zhao Jijiao counted the silver and came out of the sleeping room, and Li Ruchang also happened to move the last batch of things.
"Hot pot, what's that?"
Li Ruchang heard the word "hot pot" for the first time, which was somewhat novel.
"Hehe, keep it secret, it's delicious anyway, I'm going to wash the vegetables, I'll ask the Xianggong to help others, go and water the vegetable field, I haven't watered it all day today, I shouldn't all die, after watering, please help me deal with the fish."
It's not that Zhao Jijiao doesn't know how to handle fish, but she hates that when handling fish, there is always some fishy smell on her body, and it takes several days to get rid of it.
As soon as Zhao Jijiao said this, Li Ruchang didn't ask anymore, and her little lady also said that she would be able to eat it later, but the name of the dish was not enough, and it was estimated that she was still playing by herself.
Li Ruchang thought about it like this, and there was nothing curious. According to what Zhao Jijiao said, I first went to carry water to water the vegetable field, and then went into the kitchen and took a kitchen knife out, peeled off the scales of the fish I bought today, and disemboweled the fish neatly.
The only wild hen in the hen's nest was hungry for a day, and finally waited for the two masters to come back, but the two masters did not feed it for the first time, it was so pitiful! I regret why I was greedy in the first place, if I hadn't eaten the food in the trap, it would still be able to live freely.
Li kills fish as usual, and Zhao Jijiao is cleaning the green vegetables to eat in the hot pot, the quantity is not much, just enough for two people to eat.
Because of the hot weather, Zhao Jijiao didn't dare to buy too many vegetables back.
After washing the vegetables, the white rice on the earthen stove was also half-cooked.
The preparations have been done, Zhao Jijiao began to prepare the bottom of the hot pot, first put the oil, put in the green onion and garlic to fry the oil until fragrant, and then add the chopped dried chili, stir-fry a few times, then get out of the pot, pour out all the oil, and then pick out the ingredients inside, and then put the fish into the pot and fry it until golden on both sides, pour in the oil that was fried before, add two scoops of water to stew, and then put in the sliced ginger and garlic, and then put the minced red pepper on the board into the pot, this fish hot pot is completed, as long as the last pot, Just add a little more salt and you're done.
Zhao Jijiao smelled the fragrance in the air, and her saliva flooded.
"Xianggong, wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
After Li did what Zhao Jijiao ordered, he found that he was a little idle, and after seeing the firewood piled up in the corner of the kitchen, he could only pick up the firewood knife and chop firewood.
In the past, when he was alone, he used to split on the same day, and he was in the mountains most of the time, staying for a few days, and he didn't feel idle on those days, but now with Zhao Jijiao joining, he not only has a taste of home, but also enjoys this kind of two-person life.
"Eating around the stove?"
After washing his hands as usual, Li looked at the fish soup made by Zhao Jijiao still in the pot, and on the stove, there were all kinds of green vegetables he bought today, guessing that the dishes made by Zhao Jijiao today should be eaten around the stove.
"yes, it would be nice to have a smaller pot."
Zhao Jijiao served two bowls of rice and handed one of them to Li Ruchang.
"Come and sit down, this is hot pot, eat it on the fire. If you want to eat any green vegetables, you can put them in, and you can eat them as soon as they are scalded, but unfortunately we bought green vegetables today, if there is mutton and beef, cut them into thin slices, and you can eat them with a shabu. ”
Zhao Jijiao put her favorite vegetables into the pot, and at the same time sandwiched the fish meat and put it into Li Ruchang's bowl.
"Try it, how does it taste?"
Zhao Jijiao looked at Li Ruchang, her eyes were full of expectation.
Li Ruchang only felt that his chest was beating a little hard, and he didn't dare to look directly at Zhao Jiaojiao, lowered his head, and sent the fish meat sandwiched by Zhao Jiaojiao into his mouth, how it tasted, he couldn't taste it anymore.
"Is it delicious?"
Zhao Jijiao didn't even realize that she was very close to Li Ruchang, as long as she went further, Li Ruchang would be able to kiss that little mouth.
