【Chapter 8】Business is booming

On the side of the old house, the eldest aunt and second son Yu Song also planned to go out, and Yu Feng stayed at home to take care of his lame father and three-year-old sister.

They brought with them a basket of sweet potatoes and Chinese cabbage grown in their fields, and a few wild crucian carp.

After eating the crucian carp given by Awan yesterday, the family couldn't stop, so the brothers took a fishing rod and went to the reservoir at the entrance of the village to catch five fresh crucian carp, and used one to make fish soup for the little sister, and planned to sell the rest.

But when Yu Song opened the door, he unexpectedly found Yu Wan standing at the door.

Yu Wan said something from Xiao Tiedan's mouth, knowing that there are five people in the uncle's family - an uncle with inconvenient legs and feet, a big aunt with a wide heart and a fat body, a brother of the Yu family who is diligent in his hands and feet, and a little girl who is less than three years old.

Yu Feng She had already seen it, and this young man who was three or five points similar to Yu Feng thought that it was his younger brother Yu Song.

Counting up, Yu Song is only three days older than her.

"Second brother."

Yu Wan greeted with a smile.

Yu Song was shocked.

"Who, ...... so early," the eldest aunt came over with a basket.

"Auntie." Yu Wan called with a smile.

At this time, Aunt Chang was stunned.

She probably hasn't heard this big aunt for seven or eight years......

"Is the second brother going out? Who is in the house today? I'm going to take the little iron egg to the market, can I ask my aunt to take care of my mother? ”

Her voice was soft, her eyes were clean and clear, and her quiet smile revealed a hint of girlish softness.

The eldest aunt was in a trance, as if she saw the little ball in her arms, and almost subconsciously wanted to agree, but reason dragged her back, and she had a cold face, and she was about to open her mouth to refuse.

At this time, a deep voice came from the room: "Don't worry, your aunt will watch your aunt for you." ”

Yu Wan looked in the direction of the back room, said "Thank you uncle, thank you aunt", turned around and left the old house.

After the Yu brothers also left, the eldest aunt entered the house with a blushing face, glanced at the crutches beside the bed, and said angrily: "What do you do to promise her?" Have you forgotten who made you like this? ”

Uncle was silent.

After a while, he said in a low voice: "I said it, my leg hurts...... It has nothing to do with Awan. ”

The eldest aunt slammed the door!

……

There were a lot of people who went to the market, the Yu brothers walked at the front of the line, Yu Wan walked next to the ox cart, she had no money, so she used a fresh wild crucian carp to give the little iron egg and her own bucket of fish a little position, and she carried the winter bamboo shoots on her back.

The first time Xiao Tie Dan rushed to the market, he was so excited that he couldn't sit still.

Before dawn, he pointed to the night sky above his head and said, "Sister, look! There are ten stars in the sky! ”

He pointed to the villagers in front and behind and said, "Sister, there are ten of us in total!" ”

He also pointed to the village that had been left behind: "We have walked ten miles!" ”

Yu Wan regretted taking him out a little.

In the little iron egg's chirping voice, a faint gray-blue color appeared in the sky, and they also reached the end of the market.

They weren't the first to arrive, and there were already a few vendors selling dry goods in the center of the market.

Everyone hurriedly parted ways and occupied their own satisfactory stalls.

The market stall fee here is very low, if there is no copper plate, you can exchange things for it, Yu Wan used two winter bamboo shoots to change a bad position from the little official.

On her left is a white radish seller, on her right is an egg seller, and the Yu brothers grabbed a position closest to the entrance of Lotus Town, and when the guests came out of the town, they could see their stalls at a glance.

Yu Song found that Yu Wan was looking this way, and whispered to his brother, "Did she want to come to us?" ”

Yu Feng said lightly: "Leave her alone, go back when you sell out." ”

"Hmm!" Yu Songshen thought so and placed the wooden barrel containing four crucian carp in front of the stall.

Yu Wan didn't care about the stall, what she thought was that the eldest brother and the second brother seemed to have caught fish, should she help them sell it together......

Soon, the first wave of guests in the town arrived, and Yu Wan didn't care about anything else and began to do her own thing.

She didn't rush to drink, but first exchanged a piece of white flower tofu from the tofu stall across from a bamboo shoot, and then exchanged two fish for a spoonful of oil and a piece of salt the size of a fingernail from the scallion pancake vendor.

Subsequently, Yu Wan took out the cooking utensils prepared in advance, lit a brazier, and put a small kettle on the shelf [Note (1)].

Taking advantage of the heat of the small kettle, Yu Wan quickly fished out a live fish from the bucket, and cleaned it up neatly.

Looking at her posture of killing fish, she really didn't look like a delicate and soft little girl, and the vendors on both sides were stunned.

After the bottom of the kettle was hot, Yu Wan poured oil into it, put the crucian carp into it, fried it until golden brown on both sides, and then mixed in the chopped green onion and ginger slices, and the aroma of scallion oil and fish crispy fried collided fiercely in the air.

A passerby looked at Yu Wan.

At this time, the fish was almost fried, and Yu Wan poured a large bowl of water into it.

"Iron eggs, add some firewood."

"Huh!"

Little Iron Egg happily added two sticks of dry wood to the brazier.

Yu Wan washed a winter bamboo shoot, cut it into slices, and put it into the fish soup with the tofu.

The fish broth gets thicker and thicker the more it is cooked, and in the end, it becomes an attractive milky white color.

Yu Wan crushed the salt and sprinkled a few grains slightly: "Okay, you can eat it." ”

Little Iron Egg sat down obediently.

Yu Wan handed him the wooden bowl and spoon, and he scooped it up and ate it himself.

The tender tofu melts in your mouth, mixed with milky white fish soup, and the salty aroma reveals a hint of sweetness of bamboo shoots, and every bite is extremely satisfying...... Just by looking at it, everyone can already imagine the supreme delicacy.

"This, this fish soup ......" someone couldn't help but open his mouth.

Yu Wan pretended not to understand what he meant, and said with a smile: "I made it with live fish and winter bamboo shoots, and my brother didn't eat breakfast." ”

When I heard that it was the child's breakfast, why was the other party embarrassed to try a bowl?

The fish sold by Yu Wan are big, high in activity, and all of them are wild, and the domestic crucian carp has six copper plates a catty, and she shouts for fifteen copper plates, and she does not pay back a cent.

Many people were frightened away by this price, but they were all greedy for the appearance of Xiao Tiedan.

What did this kid eat...... They've never seen anything so delicious!

One bite after another, spoonful after spoonful, hula, even tofu with winter bamboo shoots, one sip and go in!

Child! This soup is hot!

"Huh~Huh~Huh~" Xiao Tie Dan used a spoon to get a piece of tender meat on the belly of the fish, blew it a few times at will, mixed with half a spoonful of milky white soup, and stuffed it into his mouth!

There was a sound of swallowing saliva all around......

The child is the least able to fake, whether the food is good or not, just look at the way he eats.

But an expert shook his head and said: "This girl's fish soup is wrong, you can't cook the fish in cold water after frying the fish, it will lock the taste in the fish, and the fish soup will not be delicious." ”

"And he still eats so well?" The young man on the side pointed to the little iron egg and asked.

The man said, "It's because the ingredients are good, and it's not too bad to cook." ”

Someone recognized the man as the cook of Bai Yulou.

Baiyulou is the largest restaurant in Lotus Town, and the cooks there have cooked for dignitaries and nobles in the capital! If even he said that the ingredients were good, it was really good!

"I want two!" A lady clapped her hands!

Yu Wan chose two, strung them with a straw rope, handed them to the other party and said: "Auntie, it's better to make live fish and winter bamboo shoots together, just buy winter bamboo shoots is six copper plates a catty, you buy fish, I count you five copper plates." ”

There are no winter bamboo shoots sold here, and she doesn't know what the market is, so she sets a price compared to domestic crucian carp.

The eldest lady hesitated, but didn't seem to think it was very expensive, so she bought it along with the winter bamboo shoots.

With the first one to take the lead, the business that follows is much easier.

Live fish with winter bamboo shoots sold out quickly.

The cook of Bai Yulou did not buy Yu Wan's things, in his opinion, these ingredients are fresh and fresh, but they are not in his eyes.
