Chapter 63: Worm Recipe

"And I've got a few recipes here." Liu Meiniang took out a few pieces of paper from her arms and put them on the table.

"This ......" Boss Gao picked up the recipe in surprise.

"These dishes shouldn't have been made in Chun Manlou, right?" Liu Meiniang asked cautiously.

"No, never, it's just Mei Niang's steamed worm?" Boss Gao asked in disbelief.

"What's wrong with the steamed worms?" If it weren't for the fear that these people wouldn't know the word crab, she wouldn't want to write about the worm, which sounds like no appetite.

"Can you still eat worms?" The little guy on the side asked in surprise.

"It's delicious." Zhang Jihan suddenly spoke.

"It's delicious." Liu Meiniang sold a pass.

"But...... No one has ever eaten this, this ....... "Boss Gao still can't accept it, just like Zhang Jihan and Zhang Dandan ate the worm for the first time, but Liu Meiniang believes that neither ancient nor modern people can escape the truth theorem.

"I know Boss Gao doesn't believe it, I specially brought a few today, Boss Gao to try them?" After Liu Meiniang finished speaking, Zhang Jihan carried a bamboo basket and put it in front of Boss Gao.

"Boss Gao, this is the worm I just caught this morning, you let the kitchen do it according to my requirements, and you will know it after you taste it." Liu Meiniang smiled mysteriously.

Boss Gao's tangled eyebrows were knotted.

"Go, take this to Master Yang and let him do it." Boss Gao instructed the little guy around him.

Liu Meiniang and the others sat in the room chatting, and half an hour later, someone knocked on the door.

"The owner." Master Yang came in with a large plate.

"What a taste, it smells so good." Boss Gao snorted and said.

"I didn't expect the insect to smell good." After Boss Gao determined the source of the fragrance, he touched his nose and said embarrassedly.

"Mei Niang, can this really be eaten?" Boss Gao looked at the plate of insects that were no different from the insects in the river, and the expression on his face was unpredictable.

"Boss Xue, how to eat, I'll show you how to eat, please take a quick scissors and a few spoons and chopsticks." Liu Meiniang said.

"Okay, wait a minute."

Liu Meiniang took scissors to cut open the crab and dug out the crab meat and crab roe inside.

"Boss Gao taste?" Liu Meiniang pushed the crab meat in front of Boss Gao.

"How's it taste?" Liu Meiniang handed the remaining crab to Zhang Jihan, this kid has been staring at the crab since the crab came in, and he didn't take his eyes off it.

"It's ....... I didn't expect that the insect was so delicious. Boss Gao licked his lips and seemed to be savoring.

"Master Yang, you can try it too." Boss Gao called.

"Owner, this ......." Master Yang also looked incredulous, he smelled the fragrance the moment the worms were just out of the pot, but he didn't expect it to taste even more delicious.

"Boss Gao, the insect can be used as a gold signboard for your building." Liu Meiniang said affirmatively.

"Yes, yes, what Mei Niang said is reasonable, she is simply a noble person in our Spring Manlou." It really doesn't take much effort to deal with smart people, and Boss Gao quickly turned his mind around after Liu Meiniang said this.

Chunmanlou as the first restaurant to do the worm, when everyone began to eat the worm, the reputation of Chunmanlou spread, and the worm is a new dish, and Liu Meiniang and cooperation, if nothing else, the practice of this dish is only Chunmanlou, when the time comes, Chunmanlou can not be the same day.

"Boss Gao is interested?" Liu Meiniang's hand knocked on the table, waiting for Boss Gao's reply.

"There is a ......," Boss Gao clapped.

Liu Meiniang communicated with Master Yang later

After coming out of Chunmanlou, Liu Meiniang had another two hundred taels of silver in her arms.

"Sister-in-law....." Zhang Jihan swallowed his saliva, before in Caiyi Pavilion, Zhang Jihan didn't see it when Xue Wuyi gave Liu Meiniang silver, but now seeing that Liu Meiniang earned two hundred taels of silver with almost no effort, Zhang Jihan was already dumbfounded.

"What's wrong?" Looking at Zhang Jihan's appearance, Liu Meiniang couldn't help laughing.

"We made two hundred taels?" Zhang Jihan still asked in disbelief.

"Hmm." Liu Meiniang replied.

"Wow, I'm so happy, sister-in-law, we made so much money." Zhang Jihan jumped up happily.

"What? Still want to gamble? Liu Meiniang asked with a smile.

"Don't gamble, don't gamble." Zhang Jihan hurriedly waved his hand.

I really don't dare to bet now, Zhang Jihan can't wake up anymore now.

Now if he went to gamble, he had no doubt that Liu Meiniang would chop off his hand.

After doing all this, Liu Meiniang took Zhang Jihan home with her.

Now she has almost seven hundred taels of silver in her hand, which is quite a considerable fortune. Plans to build a new house are on the agenda.

"Sister-in-law, you're so amazing." Zhang Jihan's eyes were shining.

"Of course." Liu Meiniang said without modesty.

"Build a house?" Zhang Li asked in surprise.

"Yes, mother, this thatched hut can't be lived in anymore, it's too damp, and your legs and arms hurt every time it rains on a cloudy day."

At the dinner table, Liu Meiniang proposed to build a new house.

"But the money to build a house .......," Zhang Li said worriedly.

Zhang Jihan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Liu Meiniang's look.

"Mother, you don't have to worry about money, we've earned enough money recently." Liu Meiniang was relieved.

"...... this?" Zhang Li was still very hesitant.

"Mother, when we bought the hill before, I even bought the land at the foot of the mountain, and the new house was built there, what do you think?" Liu Meiniang did not give Zhang Li a chance to hesitate.

"At the foot of the mountain?" Zhang Jihan swallowed a mouthful of food and asked with difficulty, how many acres of land at the foot of the mountain, such a big place is used to build houses?

Zhang Jihan was shocked by Liu Meiniang's plan.

"Well, when the house is finished, we will live at the foot of the mountain, and raise fish and chickens on the mountain." Liu Meiniang is ready to wait, when the time comes, directly develop ecological agriculture, open another farmhouse on the mountain, and directly move the modern business model over, and it is also a good choice to retire here.

"Sister-in-law, are we going to build a new house?" Zhang Dandan asked excitedly.

"It's better to say than to sing, I see where you got so much money." Zhang Tongtong said as he put the bowl heavily on the table.

"Tongtong!" Zhang Li reprimanded.

"I won't eat it." Zhang Tongtong got up and walked out directly.

"Tongtong!" Zhang Jihan turned around and called, but Zhang Tongtong did not answer.

"Mei Niang, let's eat first." Zhang Li sighed and gave Liu Meiniang a chopstick dish. Until now, Zhang Tongtong's prejudice against Liu Meiniang is still so big, and Zhang Li is in a dilemma.

"Thank you, mother." Zhang Tongtong did not affect Liu Meiniang, she was still thinking in her mind, what kind of house should be built better, and the style of building directly into the modern one should be built according to the ancient appearance.

Liu Meiniang decided to go back to the room to draw drawings after eating.

Building a house must have been the first big thing she was going to do here.

"Sister-in-law." Zhang Dandan's little head poked out of the door.

"Come in, what's wrong?" Liu Meiniang said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, what are you busy with? Can I help you? Zhang Dandan walked to the table and stood beside Liu Meiniang and asked.

"You can help me cut these pieces of paper, just fold them in half and cut them into four sheets of the same size." Liu Meiniang thought for a while and pointed to the pile of papers next to her.

The white paper sent by Xue Wuyi is a large piece of paper, if you want to use it, you still have to cut it, Zhang Dandan is fine, Liu Meiniang simply let Zhang Dandan cut the paper.

"Okay, sister-in-law." Zhang Dandan excitedly picked up the paper and spread it on the kang and began to cut.

Liu Meiniang thought about it, but she was still going to build a courtyard.

The outside is all fenced off, and inside there are five separate and interconnected small courtyards, each with two houses, one bedroom and one hall.

It just so happened that there were several of them in one room. The kitchen was built separately.

The next day, Liu Meiniang drew the rough drawings. The construction of the courtyard is basically in accordance with the ancient style, but in the room, Liu Meiniang still decided to use the modern style.

As a modern person, Liu Meiniang simply hates the ancient thatched toilets. There are two planks on a large vat on it, which is smelly and uncomfortable, and every time she goes to the toilet, Liu Meiniang is worried, either afraid that the plank will break, or afraid that she will not pay attention to falling into it. Every time I go to the toilet, I am scared.

"Mother, this is the rough drawing of the new house, and I plan to build five independent yards in the new house." Several people sat in the courtyard with small stools, and Liu Meiniang began to introduce the structure of the new house.

"Is it that big?" Zhang Dandan grew his mouth in surprise. Such a house is too big, isn't it?

"Sister-in-law, this small house is a latrine?" Zhang Jihan pointed to the drawings and said loudly.

"How can a latrine be built into a yard? It stinks. Zhang Tongtong stood under the eaves with his arms crossed and said sarcastically.

"We can make this toilet flushing." Liu Meiniang also didn't know how to explain the principle of modern toilets to the ancients.

"This ...... Sister-in-law, I don't quite understand. Zhang Jihan asked weakly.

"You'll know when the time comes." Liu Meiniang simply didn't explain.

"Okay." Zhang Jihan felt that his IQ was despised.

"If it is really built, my house will probably become a joke for the whole village." Zhang Tongtong said loudly.

"Third sister, I think what my sister-in-law said is very good." Zhang Dandan said with a frown.

"Hmph, she's just a waste of money, I've never heard anyone build a house like this."

Zhang Tongtong continued.

"What if no one has ever done that?" Liu Meiniang asked Zhang Tongtong.

"Of course you are not afraid of ridicule from the villagers, because your reputation has long been stinky, but you implicated our Zhang family, you are really vicious."

Zhang Tongtong glared angrily.

"Then we'll see." Liu Meiniang continued to look down at the drawings, no longer having a chance to Zhang Tongtong.

"Don't regret it then." Zhang Tongtong stomped back to his house.

Liu Meiniang is ready to follow the modern bathroom look, those tile floors can be replaced by marble, the toilet can be made of wood, or directly designed as a squatting pit.

The sewage pipe, the last time Liu Meiniang went to the county seat, she saw a place that sold copper pipes, so use that copper pipe for the sewage pipe.

It's just that Liu Meiniang has a headache that she wants to change the papier-mâché windows to glass, but there is no glass in this era, and Liu Meiniang has been thinking about how to solve this problem.

Liu Meiniang asked Zhang Jihan to go out and inquire about where there was a better construction team in nearby villages or other places.

"Uncle Ge from the small mountain village, their family is specialized in this, and his three sons, one is a carpenter, one is a mason, and one is a businessman."

Zhang Jihan often runs outside and knows more about the situation outside.

"Ji Han, I'll leave this to you to contact, you go to find some craftsmen in this area, the price is easy to say." Liu Meiniang commanded.

"Okay, sister-in-law." Zhang Jihan responded.
