Returning with a full load, the four brothers and sisters and a little nephew were in a good mood, not to mention how comfortable they were, and they walked all the way to the city with a smile.

When it came, it was a pastoral morning light, but now it is the sunset in the west, the sunset is full of sky, and the afterglow is sprinkled in the golden wheat field, so that the layer of light gold, with a warm yellow, like a beautiful oil painting, people look at it and feel that the world is beautiful. The warm breeze blowing near May on the body of the thin silk shirt is especially comfortable.

Because the weather was getting late, Shiro was afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch up with the lock of the city gate, so he urged him to leave quickly. Less than three or four miles away from the village, I heard the faint squeak of wheels rolling on the ground behind, and when I looked back, it was a donkey cart pulling goods, which came slowly, and stayed on the side of the five people, and the driver was a middle-aged man, who said to the five: "How many are the brothers and sisters of the Zeng family who are guests at Uncle Liu's house during the day?" ”

Shiro hugged his fists and replied with a smile: "Exactly." I don't know what it is? ”

The middle-aged man stopped the car with a smile and said, "That's right, a few brothers and sisters get in the car, my surname is Liu, Uncle Liu is my uncle, because I went to the city to do business, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to enter the city before the city gate was locked, so I specially ordered me to meet on the road and bring a few brothers and sisters." ”

A few people were very happy when they heard it, not only did they save an hour of travel, but also a few people had a day of fun, which was the time to be tired. Shiro hurriedly thanked him, because the flatbed car was still clean, Jue'er jumped up first, and wanted to pull Banniang again, but Gorou stepped forward, hugged Banniang into the car, and helped Qiniang up, and the two brothers jumped into the car.

Along the way, I asked the middle-aged man's surname, a few people gossiped, time flies, and from time to time he enters the city, the man wants to send a few people home, and he has already disturbed people all the way, how can Shiro and a few people trouble again, and have the heart to invite the man's family to invite someone to have dinner, the man politely declined, saying that there is still something to do. Shiro and the others were even more difficult to ask someone to send, so they said goodbye at the south city gate.

The five of them rested all the way, but they also relieved their breath, carried the yellow cockroaches, shrimps, mugwort leaves, fragrant pus and other things in their hands, and went straight home.

At this time, the city was already full of smoke, and some anxious people had hung lanterns at both ends of the gate, and when they arrived at home, they knocked on the door, and it was Huang Bo, the only old janitor in the house, who came out to open the door. Seeing the five people coming back, they were all carrying things in their hands, and they were smiling: "Buddies are back?" Your mother is thinking about it, go in. ”

Uncle Huang was his grandmother's companion at the beginning, and the Zeng family fell behind, because he had nowhere to go, so he stayed in the Zeng family, because he was the old servant of the old grandmother, and the family did not treat him as a subordinate.

A few people thanked Uncle Huang and went straight to the kitchen. Zhu and sister-in-law Wu saw the many fish and shrimp they brought back, as well as the yellow cockroach, and naturally smiled without disturbing their mouths. Putting down their things, a few people went to the main house to meet their father first, and then they went to wash.

Although Banniang was a little tired, she thought about the lunch meal, washed her hands and face, changed her clothes, and when she was waiting for Qi Niang, she sat on the side and asked: "Sister, you say, do we cook here?" There's no one to cook stir-fry? ”

"Stir-fry?" Qi Niang smiled, "You gluttonous girl, that stir-fry is something that ordinary people can afford?" The whole Song Kingdom, which is also in the capital, not to mention that we don't have it in Nanfeng, even if it is a big city like Yingtianfu, it may not be able to eat. ”

"Eighth sister bluffing me, right?"

"What are you doing to bluff? If you don't believe it, ask the second brother to go. In our family, probably only my grandmother, father and second brother have tasted it in the capital. If you haven't been to Beijing, who has that blessing? ”

"Is what Seventh Sister said true?"

Qi Niang washed her face, changed her dress, and went to get the dirty clothes that the two of them had changed, planning to soak it, wash it and dry it at night, and when she saw that Banniang asked seriously, she smiled and said, "What are you doing with this?" ”

Banniang happily threw her legs and went straight to the cupboard.

I was thinking about what Qi Niang said all the way, if this was the case, wouldn't she have a way to make money again?

And this business doesn't cost much.

She originally looked at the simple furniture at home, and knew the overall level of furniture at this time, and wanted to open a furniture shop, but it was not easy to open a furniture shop, there were too many things to prepare, raw materials, technology, and personnel, all of which were indispensable.

However, the hotel business is different.

In terms of cost, the cost is not high or less. In terms of technology, she has it herself. You don't need to fake someone else's hands.

Gotta try, try tonight.

Since the seventh sister said that her father and second brother have eaten stir-fried vegetables, then there are ready-made people to taste it, distinguish the advantages and disadvantages, and see if her craftsmanship can be recognized in this Great Song Kingdom.

Here for half a year, she was sick in the clouds, and then although she was able to go to the ground, her family has not let her work, at first she also felt that the food at home was really unpalatable, and she thought that her sister-in-law and sister at home were not good at work, and because of the poverty of the family, where was she embarrassed to be picky? endured it, and got used to it, and tried to do it yourself, but whether it was the Zhu family, or the sister-in-law and Qi Niang, they would never agree with her to go to the stove to help. In addition, there is no cabbage and tofu at home, so this matter is also confused.

But now it's different, now she's in good health, no, it's okay to go out and play crazy for a day? If her mother and sister-in-law talk about her body again, she can also find a reason.

Anyway, she's going to be in charge once today.

In the previous life, because my grandfather and grandmother were very picky people in eating, especially my grandfather, who was not in good health, in order to maintain his health, the family specially invited a famous chef of Huaiyang cuisine with a special chef qualification certificate, Zeng Yunshan was very filial, and he did not like to go clubbing and shopping like ordinary young people after work, and his personality was also influenced by his grandparents, he was very quiet, except for traveling, he stayed at home, so he and the big chef at home, he learned a lot of Huaiyang famous dishes, and she could almost make it decently. is such a picky person as her grandfather, and they all praise her Huaiyang dishes, which are very authentic.

It's a pity that although she has some talent, she hasn't practiced hard in the end, and she has a master to help her on weekdays, so her knife skills are really not good.

But this is not a problem, and she has never thought that with her small body, she will really become a chef herself.

The key is that her dishes should be recognized.

Seeing her running out like crazy, without any feminine demeanor, Qi Niang couldn't help but shout behind her: "Seventh sister, what are you running like crazy?" Slow down and don't fall, when you turn around and be seen by your father, you should scold you again. ”

Qi Niang is all about the dishes at this time, where can she take care of Qi Niang.

From the backyard to the kitchen in the front yard, in fact, it is only three or two minutes, Banniang thinks about today's fish and shrimp, and has a plan in her heart, she must make a few dishes that her father and second brother call good, and also try her own skills, whether she can be welcomed in this Great Song Dynasty. When the time comes, whether to sell recipes, or to find a way to open a restaurant for your family, even if it is to find a suitable person to partner in, it is a great way to make money. You must know that the people take food as the sky, if they have good cooking skills that are ahead of the times, are they afraid that they will not be able to live a good life in this era?

Moreover, selling jewelry patterns, those are temporary, and one day she will not have to sell, but her cooking skills are different. This is a long-term business, and others can't snatch it even if they want to.

"Niangniang, let me cook today, okay?" Banniang rushed into the kitchen and shouted at Zhu, who was busy in the kitchen.

Zhu raised his head and looked surprised, this kid has been playing for a day, he doesn't go to rest, what kind of mess does he come to the kitchen? Before she could speak, Wu had already stopped her with a smile: "Seventh sister, don't make a mess, you're tired for a day, go and rest." ”

Banniang knew that if it was ordinary, the two of them were afraid that they wouldn't even let her touch the spoon, let alone cooking, so she said: "Sister-in-law, don't stop me first, when we were in the countryside today, didn't we have a meal at a family's house?" The mother-in-law taught me a few dishes to make yellow cockroaches and fish and shrimp, and I learned them all, and the mother-in-law made them very delicious, so my mother and sister-in-law gave me a chance to try them out for you to taste? Maybe my dad likes to eat, and I'll do it every day in the future, hasn't my dad been in good health? Maybe after eating the food cooked by Banniang, you can eat more, and your body will naturally improve. After speaking, I was afraid that Zhu and Wu would not believe it, so I added, "It's really delicious." ”

Zhu smiled and said, "Watching people do it, you can do it?" Cooking is not an overnight effort, so don't spoil these fish and shrimp. If you're idle and not tired, go and watch your tenth sister. ”

Where would Banniang give up, continued to blink, looked at Zhu Shiyang pitifully and said, "Mother, just tell me to try it, or I'll make a dish first?" It's done, you and your sister-in-law taste it first, if you think it's good, I'll continue to do it, if you think it's not good, I can't eat it myself? ”

Zhu saw that she was pitiful, a little unbearable, and thought that she would have to learn in the future, or marry to her mother-in-law's family, but there was no cooking, that day was sad, six mothers and seven mothers, female red cooking, are all reasonable, only these eight girls, small health is not good, and love to read calligraphy and painting, so she has not been forced to her, now seeing that a year is like a year, it is not good to continue like this, since she has this heart now, why not let her try?

Zhu said: "Cheng, then you can try, but don't be strong." ”

"Miles. I won't, I must ask my mother and sister-in-law. ”

After Banniang finished speaking, she couldn't wait to see what dishes were in the kitchen, ginger, onions, garlic, coriander and other seasonings, all of which were made first, as well as a palm-sized piece of tofu, a few greens, and a few eggs. The rest were the two big red carp they brought back, three crucian carp weighing one or two catties, three or four small fish weighing a pound, and a few small trash fish, shrimp, and a few small blue crabs. If you look closely, there are still some snails,

Braised and steamed, live fish potstickers, drunken shrimp, fried snails, soft long fish, bean soup, but unfortunately there is no cornstarch, otherwise I made Pingqiao tofu. Also, there are no green peppers, no soy sauce, and uneven ingredients, which is also a problem.

Banniang thought about it for a while, and then planned to do it, and said to Zhu and Wu: "Mother, you come to help me light the fire, and my sister-in-law helps me clean up all the fish and shrimp." These yellow cockroaches, my sister-in-law took a knife to stun them first, and I cleaned them up myself, and during the day in the countryside, my mother-in-law taught me. ”

Because the family has not eaten yellow pythons, Banniang doesn't know how people here eat yellow pythons, and she is afraid that her sister-in-law will do something wrong, so she will give up her efforts. Late fish scales, washing vegetables, there is no need to explain.

Seeing her excited, Zhu and Wu seemed to be able to make a table of delicious food, looked at each other and smiled, and listened to her arrangement.

Authentic Pingqiao tofu can't be made without cornstarch, but a bowl of delicious tofu soup is not impossible, with shrimp and eggs, you can make it.

When Wu went to the well to clean up the fish and shrimp, Banniang first cut the tofu with a knife and the tofu shreds were as thin as hair, but unfortunately her original knife skills were not good, and the iron knife was too big, she was small and weak, and she was really incompetent, so the tofu shreds were very unsatisfactory, but they could be seen. Cut the shredded tofu, put it in a large bowl and put it in the water, find another bowl, beat two eggs, beat it into a paddle with chopsticks, put it aside, and then cut the ginger, onion, garlic and other things, and so on, and keep it for later use. I went to Wu's again, took a dozen washed shrimp, peeled the snake kernels, chopped them finely, and put them on a plate. Then I looked for the washed greens, picked a few very tender ones, and chopped them finely and put them away.

Only then did he ask Zhu: "Mother, do you still have fine wheat noodles or rice noodles at home?" ”

Those are all fine grains, and they are not willing to eat on weekdays, in fact, Banniang thinks that it is better to have cornmeal, but she has never found that anyone in the family has eaten it, and she doesn't know if there is one in this time and space, so she doesn't dare to ask.
