A few people took advantage of today's noon to buy a lot of cotton and cotton cloth from cotton shops and tailors. Jia's Li Ailian, a few people are all happy, only Sister Qiu feels a little tired, not only in this era there is no finished quilt to sell, even to cover such things as nothing, the quilt has to be dismantled and washed every year, since the new cotton is sewn up, it takes a lot of time.

"Mother, let's make a set!" Sister Qiu proposed, "Just make a cotton cloth cover, put the quilt in it, and if it gets dirty backwards, let's just wash the cover, and we don't have to dismantle and wash the quilt." ”

Sister Qiu compared it for a long time, and the Jia family finally understood what Sister Qiu meant, and Jia was a little hesitant and asked: "What if the quilt is shrunk into a ball in the cover and can't be opened?" ”

Sister Qiu thought about it, she didn't seem to have encountered this kind of problem in her previous life, as long as she gave the cover the right size, there would be no problem of shrinking into a ball and not being able to open it, so she said: "If my mother is not at ease, I will use a needle and thread to sew the cover vertically twice, and then remove it when washing, which is easier than dismantling and washing the entire quilt." ”

"That's a good idea!" Jia Shi and Li Ailian all agreed, and bought a lot of flower cloth to prepare for the quilt. The whole family is busy with their feet not sticking to the ground, and the less housework there is, the better.

Jia Shi and Li Ailian took Zhang Yuxiu to unwash the quilt, while Sister Qiu had a more important task - drying cowpeas.

In the previous life, Sister Qiu's family had to dry a few pots of cowpeas every year, which was enough for an old snack for a year, scoop a spoonful of freshly fried cowpeas, and put them on the steamed buns that had just come out of the pot, don't mention how good the taste is!

It is not difficult to make cowpeas, but it is not easy to make them delicious, especially Sister Qiu, who has no spicy seeds now, only a small amount of hibiscus powder.

The first selected soybeans are cooked, and the cooked beans should be left in the pot to cool slowly, and the water and sugar for boiling the beans are also very delicious. When the beans are cooled, they are evenly spread on a clean mat, and a mat is also spread on the top, and they are placed in a hot room waiting for mold.

After two weeks of mold, you can collect the beans with penicillium oily, put wine, spicy seeds and other seasonings into it and stir it fully, the best is to stir it by hand, with a stick and spoon can not be stirred evenly, the mixed beans are placed in a wide-mouth basin, covered with a layer of screen window cloth, which can not only transmit light, but also prevent mosquitoes and flies, and can not be exposed to the sun, can not be drenched in rain, and can not be connected to the dew, rainy days and nights all have to move the basin back to the house.

Taking advantage of the good sun, about two weeks, the cowpeas will be dried almost the same, you can eat straight away, but the best is to put it in the pot and fry it, the taste is the best.

No one else can do this, only Sister Qiu knows how to do it, and she only told Jia that she had heard others tell her that it was like this, and she wanted to try it herself. Now that the family has a lot of money, Jia's is not blocked, if it is sun-dried, it doesn't matter if the food at home is not good, it just costs a little beans.

After a few more days, Sister Qiu came out of the store, and saw a few young masters leading horses by the door, and asked Jia, "Big."

Mom, is this shop opened by a lady named Mei Qiushuang? ”

Jia Shi glanced at a few young masters in surprise, a little hesitant, did not reply to their questions, and only asked, "What are you looking for Mei Qiushuang?" ”

The young master at the head saw Jia's worries and vigilance, and immediately bowed his hand and said: "Auntie, we are from Huyang, last time Mei Niangzi came to our Liufang Building to teach us a recipe for a dish, and the food is very good, we are expected to thank her." ”

Sister Qiu glanced at the young master several times, and only then did she recognize that this young master was the boy of the Liufang Mansion master's family, the young master of the oil Xuanyi!

"Young Master Wang!" Sister Qiu smiled and walked over to say hello.

Gonggong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Under Wang Ming." Mei Niangzi, you haven't been to Huyang for a long time, I can't wait, I asked my cousin about you, and I knew that you were in Jiujiang Town, so I came all the way. ”

"Then ...... you came," Sister Qiu asked with a smile.

She just listened to what Wang Ming said to Jia's family, and sighed to herself that Wang Ming looked lazy and heartless, but in fact, he was quite shrewd.

"Is this your shop?" Wang Ming asked with a smile, "Why don't we go in and talk in detail." ”

It was already close to noon, most of the people who had rushed to the market had already gone home, and the students who had come to eat had not yet finished school, so there were not many people in the store.

"Done!" Sister Qiu said with a cheerful smile, and handed the money box to Li Ailian, "Auntie, you help collect the money first." After speaking, he dragged Jia Shi over and said to Wang Ming: "This is my mother." ”

Wang Ming politely saluted Jia's family, "I don't know that you are Mei Niangzi's mother, and you have many crimes." ”

"You're welcome!" Jia Shi said with a smile, she also guessed that this noble young master was the one who bought Sister Qiu's prescription for boiled river fish, but the rich man who paid for it, if it wasn't for the 160 taels of silver he bought the prescription, their store would not be able to buy it, so she glanced at Wang Ming's eyes with extra affection.

Wang Ming brought two people over, one looked at the look and makeup, as if he was serving Wang Ming's family, and the other was 12 years old, with a white jade hairpin on his head, a pearl belt around his waist, a white satin robe, red lips and white teeth, and a very beautiful young master.

Sister Qiu led the way in front, and couldn't help but turn her face back and look at the pearl belt around the young master's waist, how did she feel that she had seen this belt anywhere...... But where...... I really can't think of it again.

It is said that the pearls embedded in this belt are all fine mutton fat white jade, and she usually has few rich people, so it should be very easy to think about it.

Sister Qiu led a few people to the backyard, moved a few wooden chairs and asked someone to sit down, and said with an apologetic smile: "Please forgive me, the two young masters have not repaired our backyard yet, so we can't live in it, and the two young masters can make do with it in the courtyard." As he spoke, he asked Zhang Yuxiu, who was helping in the kitchen, to pour a few bowls of bean juice and come over to entertain the guests.

The two noble young masters have money in their families, what do they want to play small?

However, it was the first time that I went back to the house as a guest, and the host's house was entertained with bean juice.

The beautiful young master frowned, he had only heard about servants eating bean juice, and he had never eaten either good tea, or goat milk.

"What, this young master can't get used to it? Can you change it to eight-treasure rice porridge? We have these two things in the store that we can get our hands on. Sister Qiu asked with a smile.

The little young master raised his eyes and glanced at her, and said slowly: "No need. "His eyes are full of spirit, and they are all arrogant.

Phew, stinky kid who doesn't understand politeness! Sister Qiu scolded in her heart.

Wang is the oldest next year, so he smiled and said, "Mrs. Mei doesn't have to be so polite. Last time, Mei Niangzi said that there were other prescriptions for rare dishes, and I don't know ......"

When she signed the agreement at first, one point was that all the prescriptions of Mei Qiushuang in the future had to be sold to Liufanglou, in fact, this clause did not have much binding force in Sister Qiu's view, if she didn't want to sell it, she could say that she had no prescriptions, and she could also sell them through Jia Shi and others, and she would not come forward.

Wang Ming also understood this reason, and only came to inquire politely, and did not mean to force it. And he is a businessman, and he is the most understanding of the harmonious son of making money. The little lady who smiled very beautifully in front of her face was not scared, and if she used the wrong method, she would be able to beat the chicken.

A dish of boiled river fish to the Liufang Building is not only money, the money to buy vegetables and prescriptions has already returned to the capital, and there is a higher reputation, these are all money can not be exchanged, seeing that more than a month has passed, Huyang has a lot of taverns to buy boiled river fish from the Liufang Building, handed it over to the chef to study, and imitates the like, it is a matter of time before the taste of the boiled river fish is made, and the Liufang Building urgently needs a new dish to replace the boiled river fish, and the Liufang Building has always become the first floor of Huyang. "Oh, this, yes." Sister Qiu said with a smile, her eyes swept to the belt of the little young master again, and her mind flashed at first glance, thinking.

In fact, even if it is the person who recognized Sister Qiu before, if you look at it after such a long time, I am afraid that I dare not admit it, in the past six months, Sister Qiu has grown taller, her face has turned white, and her hair has changed from the original gray and sparse to black and thick, and the most important thing is that the spirit of the whole person is completely different, and the timidity and humility of the original Mei Qiushuang little lady can no longer be found in Sister Qiu.

Wang Ming listened to Sister Qiu's very ironclad saying that there were new dishes, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and owed a debt forward, and said a little hurriedly: "When will the lady go to Huyang again...... Otherwise, where is it convenient for you, Mrs. Mei? Let's make an appointment in advance, and I will send a car to pick you up to Huyang and send you back in the afternoon. ”

Sister Qiu smiled and said, "Okay, then thank you Young Master Wang." I just don't know the price...... What is Young Master Wang going to do? ”

Wang Ming groaned, and then said: "I can't hide it, I have to discuss the price with my father before I can give you an accurate number, but I can guarantee it, as long as the lady's dish is good, it will never be lower than the price of boiled river fish." ”

Sister Qiu thought to herself, what he meant by this

The price of a dish will be more than 160 taels of silver, and this idea can still be made.

"Young Master Wang is a cheerful and cheerful person, we all believe it." Sister Qiu said with a smile.

The little young master, who had always raised his chin slightly and looked at Sister Qiu with a scrutinizing gaze, opened his mouth at this time, and said with a slight narrow eye: "Don't be happy too early, if you can't come up with a decent dish, you won't be able to earn money." ”

As soon as he said this, it was obvious that he doubted Sister Qiu's ability level.

Sister Qiu had a smile on her face, and scolded this beautiful young master in her heart, what's the use of looking good? Jin Yu is in the midst of defeat! If you pee, you know what to do, and go to the crooked road! Don't learn well! Sooner or later, the second ancestor of the family property will be lost!

"This, naturally, will not let Young Master Wang be lost." Sister Qiu said with a smile, gloomy and relieved that she was a young woman in her 20s, so don't worry about the 12-year-old bear child.
