Chapter Ninety-Six: The New Pickles Help the Second Aunt

Back in the autumn colors of the teahouse, I found that Sanya had come. 【Fengyun Reading Network. I'm talking to Qing Niang in the room. Giggles. Very happy. Autumn Colors wanted to ask her to come out and make pickles. Took two steps and stopped. Now she's going to try her hand at making new pickles. It is not certain that it will be successful if it is not done. And why do you have to drag one more person to be burdened? Moreover. In the past few days, Sanya has come to find Qingniang. I don't even want to make soy beans. Why bother touching nails yourself?

Autumn turned around and went to the kitchen. Prepare the ingredients and start making pickles.

The so-called pickles are pickles. It is made with fresh vegetables. After marinating with table salt. The excess brine in the pickled cabbage blank is then squeezed out. The sauce is then made with sauce (usually soybean paste) or soy sauce. Allows the flavor of the sauce to penetrate into the pickle blanks. Add other seasonings. Make it a delicious, nutritious, appetizing, and easy-to-preserve side dish.

Autumn colors are made today with pickled cucumbers. The cucumber that Gazi has sent the most recently. They were all washed, cut into small strips of one inch, and salted with coarse salt. It's been marinating for almost a night now. The extra water from the cucumber was squeezed out. Autumn color laboriously scooped up cucumbers from the large basin and squeezed out the brine. Then put it in a small jar of one pound of sun-dried.

Put all the cucumbers in the jar. Only three jars were installed. Autumn colors looked at it. Evenly mix the cucumbers in the three jars. Then pour the sauce that has been mixed next to it into the jar. In fact, pickles are delicious or not. That's the key. Pickles are made by the women of the family. But most of them are just salted and eaten. Naturally, it is not as good as pickles with all the ingredients like autumn colors. This is also the reason why Shopkeeper Li chose autumn-colored pickles instead of Mrs. Ding.

This sauce is made early in the morning in the autumn colors. There is brown sugar and soy sauce in it. Garlic slices, ginger slices, rice vinegar, and chilled peppercorn oil. Wait for the sauce to pour well. The autumn colors sealed the three jars with cotton cloth and oiled paper. The word 'autumn' and a note taken back from Jia Xiucai were pasted on it. The three jars were moved to a shady place to finish.

Wait until the next morning. Autumn colors open the jar one. The cucumber is already soaked. Serve some out for breakfast. Even Qing Niang, who has always been picky, praised it well. "This is the pickle you tinkered with for half a day yesterday. It's much better than that sauce bean. ”

Autumn smiled at the color of the autumn. I have the confidence to buy and sell for a while. "It's your mouth that's too bad. Since you like the flavor. Then I'll leave a jar to eat myself. ”

"Don't. You might as well sell it for money. "Qing Niang hurriedly refused." I don't eat much of these sauces. It's just a few bites of freshness. ”

"It's fine. I'm going to send some to my mother anyway. Just do more next time. ”

Qing Niang smiled: "Whatever you want." But you can really figure it out. Even kidney beans and cucumbers, which are used for cooking on weekdays, can be used to make pickles. What else can't be done. ”

"It's all right. Even the meat can be used as sauce. Not to mention these dishes. Qing Niang. What you want to eat. I'll do it for you. "Autumn colors are full of interest.

"Don't mind. I don't dare to really think of you as a cook. Qing Niang said and remembered that when Ah Shan left suddenly yesterday, it seemed that he was also talking about the autumn color when he was the cook. Could it be that Ahsan is angry because of this.

Looking at the autumn color, Qing Niang seems to be a little unhappy. Nor do they speak again. After a hurried meal, I went to deliver pickles.

"Shopkeeper Li. I didn't make tiger skin beans today. Newly made a cucumber in sauce. You taste it. He said. Qiu Se took out the prepared small bowl of pickles and handed it to Shopkeeper Li.

Shopkeeper Li took the pickles and said, "I still want to tell you." These two pickles are getting worse and harder to sell. There is still a small half jar of soy beans and beans left from yesterday's sauce. ”

"That's done. I'm not going to send either tomorrow. Look at this pickled cucumber or not. Autumn said with a smile.

"Doing business with Qiu Niangzi is worry-free." Shopkeeper Li said with a smile. He took a bite of the cucumber in the sauce and his eyes lit up immediately. "This pickle made by Qiu Niangzi is much stronger than the previous two. Sour, crispy, fresh, and refreshing. The taste is moderate. How is Qiu Niangzi going to sell it?"

"One altar and forty-five texts."

"What." Shopkeeper Li was taken aback. The chopsticks in his hand also fell. "You're too expensive, aren't you? This is a pound jar. Your previous five-pound pack was sold for less than a hundred wen. ”

Qiu Se defended unhurriedly: "Shopkeeper Li." You get what you pay for. Didn't you also say that the pickles this time were much better than the last two times? This time, the pickles I made not only required a lot of work, but also made more ingredients than before. That's right. If only you could return that jar to me. Just give me forty wen. ”

Shopkeeper Li thought for a while and said, "That's it." I'll ask for both altars, how about giving you seventy wen. I'll return it to you. ”

Qiu Se deliberately made a bitter face and said, "Shopkeeper Li, you are not short of that five cents." I'm short of money right now. and thou shalt give me forty cents. Again. Just this pickle, you put it on a plate, and after you serve it, it will cost more than a dozen yuan, which is less. I must have ten plates in this altar. My price of 40 wen is really not high. ”

"This mouth of the autumn lady. It's a shame not to do business. Shopkeeper Li shook his head and smiled helplessly. In the end, he agreed to buy the pickles for forty wen a jar. But conditions were also proposed. "Autumn lady. In the future, if you are making any new pickles, you must send them to me. You can't sell it to anyone else. ”

"Shopkeeper Li, don't worry. We've all been dealing with each other for so long. Of course, I brought it to you first. Autumn smiled and promised. I thought about it and asked. "But I shouldn't have any problems selling it myself."

Shopkeeper Li nodded. "Yes. But the price can't be too much worse. ”

"Don't worry. I must be selling for the same price as you. ”

"That's good." Shopkeeper Li smiled with satisfaction. He sensed that this pickle must be selling on fire. It is even more popular than the previous soy beans and tiger skin beans.

In fact, this sauce cucumber sold even better than Shopkeeper Li imagined. One dish is only sold for fifteen wen. This is already very cheap for a dish in a restaurant, which is often hundreds of yuan. In the beginning, this cucumber sauce was only served as a gift for each table. Everyone thought it tasted good after eating it. Gradually, people came to order this dish.

After the shopkeeper Li delivered the pickled cucumber to the restaurant on Ronghua Street. It also sells very well. Later. The restaurant on Ronghua Street and the liquor shop of the shopkeeper Li order five jars of sauce cucumbers in autumn every day. In this way, Autumn Color can earn 400 wen a day. In addition to the cost, it can also earn about 300 mosquitoes.

When Wu Shi saw the strings of copper plates in front of him, his mouth couldn't close in surprise. "It's been less than half a month. Why did you make so much money? ”

Qiu Se couldn't help but smile and said, "Mother." It's the first time I've heard of someone who thinks they have a lot of money. ”

"No, no, no. I am. Ah. "Wu is a little incoherent." I just don't think it's going to be possible to make that much money. Big girl. It's not like you're comforting me with your own money. ”

Autumn Colors couldn't help but laugh. "Mother. I really don't. I sent you this money, after deducting the cost of a tael of silver and the money I earned. Oh. That's right. There is also a salary for Sanya. ”

At this time, Sanya, who was looking at those copper plates and red eyes, couldn't help but come up and smile at Qiu Se: "Sister." Why don't you just give me the money when you were at the teahouse just now? Why did you have to come to my house to give it to me? ”

The autumn color doesn't care about Sanya's words. He poured out the money from his purse bag and said. "You've been to the teahouse for so many days. I worked for five and a half days. I'll give you twenty dollars a day. That's a total of 110 cents. ”

Sanya, who was looking forward to it, was stunned all of a sudden. Asked disappointedly. "How can it be so little. I go to the teahouse every day. ”

Autumn Colors glanced at her. "You go every day. But most of you talk to Qing Niang in the house. You didn't help me make pickles. ”

"I ......" Sanya seemed to be trying to quibble about something. But in the end, nothing was said. He took the money bag and turned around and walked out of the house.

Wu shouted from the side. "Dead girl, where are you going. Your eldest sister said that you can't do two sentences. "Seeing that Sanya was far away, he turned back to comfort the autumn color." Don't be like her. In the past few days, I don't know what ** soup that Qing Niang poured her. Cheng Tian Qing Niang's sister is long Qing Niang's sister is short. I feel like she's even closer to that Qingniang sister than to me. ”

As he spoke, he asked about the autumn color with some concern. "Big girl. It's okay for her to be with that sunny girl all the time. I feel like Sanya has changed a lot in the past few days. Every morning, she took a picture of the small bronze mirror that the Qing Niang gave her. Painted red and powdered on the face. I love stinky beauty. The clothes I wear are also becoming more exquisite. I didn't even finish chewing on a meal. ”

"This should be fine." Qiu Se guessed and said, "Qing Niang loves to tinker with these things. She came with Sanya. I taught her. ”

"Now she spends less time at home. I'm afraid she'll learn badly. Wu said worriedly.

Autumn smiled. "Mother. Don't worry about it. As long as you stay away from her, you won't learn badly. As he spoke, he pointed to the opposite door.

Wu smiled knowingly. "I was just afraid that she would take Sanya badly, so I drove her to you. Always unsettling. It's been three days for someone so big to come back and make trouble. It doesn't matter if it's day or night. Say anything in front of your child. Let's wait until we move. It's good to move. ”

"That's right. Mother. What the hell did my second aunt do? My grandfather really divorced her. Autumn Colors couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Hugh what Hugh. It's easy for you to think. That Zhang family is not easy to get along with. Your second aunt's brother led a group of people to the house. Take the dowry list and just ask for things from your father. Your grandfather was stunned at that time. So many years. Those dowries are long gone. Later, your second uncle Zhang Luo picked up your second aunt back. Your grandfather didn't talk about the rest anymore. That's it, your second uncle still went several times to pick people up. Your second aunt came back with a temper swell. I don't do any work at home. It's all about your third aunt and your second aunt. Your milk doesn't look good. Noisy all day long. ”

Listen to the autumn colors. "Mother. I hear it's pretty quiet at home now. ”

Wu glared at her. "Your home is a stage. It doesn't stop for a moment. ”

The two were talking. I only heard Zhang shouting outside: "Sister-in-law is not at home." ”

"Mother. Said Cao Cao. Cao Cao arrived. Autumn couldn't help but laugh.

"Go. Say no more. Wu reprimanded Qiu Se in a low voice. Shoved a few strings of copper plates under the quilt. That's when I replied to Zhang's words. "In. Come on in. ”

"Sister-in-law is really blessed......" Zhang didn't enter the house to compliment, so he said it first. When I entered the house, I was stunned at first when I saw the autumn colors. Then he said with a smile: "I said why do I have to come to my sister-in-law's house today." I dared to come to see my eldest niece. Big niece. I heard that you made a fortune. Help your second aunt too. ”
