Chapter 243 Success
Miss Wu's approach made Mrs. Wu feel very shameless, and she didn't want to stay any longer, so she talked to Tian Mai and left.
As soon as she returned home, she asked the next person, has the eldest lady come back?
The subordinate respectfully said no.
"When I see the eldest lady coming back, let him come to me as soon as possible."
"Yes, ma'am."
Tian Mai didn't know about the Wu family, and she didn't have the heart to know, as soon as her Mrs. Wu left, she continued to go back to deal with her affairs, and after dealing with it, she got up and went to the kitchen.
The kitchen lady was startled when she saw her, and after greeting her respectfully, she asked her what she commanded.
Tian Mai looked around the kitchen, turned his head and asked the cook, where was the beef she asked people to buy?
When the cook heard this, she hurriedly found the beef, "Madam, how do you want to eat it?" I'll do it for you. ”
"No, I'll do it myself." She's going to try her hand at making beef jerky, and if she succeeds, she'll be able to go to the shop.
This is the first time she has done it, I wonder if it will succeed?
It shouldn't be difficult, it's about the same as the steps of pork jerky.
The cook moved her mouth, thought for a moment, closed her mouth again, and gave up her place to Tian Mai.
Tian Mai rolled up his sleeves, cut the beef into strips, put it in the pot and blanched the water, and after taking it out, he refilled a pot of water, put the beef in, and then put the thirteen spices, soy sauce and cooking wine.
"Simmer for half an hour, and when it's time to call me."
"Yes, ma'am."
Tian Mai looked at the fire burned by the cook and asked her to keep the fire, so she went out of the kitchen and went to find Qian.
When she went to Qian's yard, she saw her ploughing the ground with a hoe.
“……”
She walked over and called her sister and asked her what she was doing on the ground.
Qian looked back at her, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and smiled and said that she wanted to grow vegetables.
She is really afraid of eating meat, and she misses the green vegetables very much.
Tian Mai smiled and said, "Sister, it's cold here for two months, do you think the greens can stand the cold?" ”
After a pause, Qian slapped her forehead helplessly, smiled bitterly, and said that she had forgotten about it.
It's not easy to eat a meal here.
Tian Mai saw that she hadn't remembered it yet, and reminded her again, did she forget the method of planting vegetables in winter at home?
"Look at my pig's head." Being reminded by Tian Mai like this, Qian remembered it, "I even forgot such an important thing." ”
When people are idle, their brains will indeed become inactive/alive and decadent.
"What about opening a room in my yard to grow greens?"
"The house is so big, how can you grow vegetables in your yard." Tian Mai shook his head and disagreed, "Don't worry, I will arrange for someone else to do this to ensure that you have vegetables to eat." ”
If she hadn't been too busy some time ago to take care of this, she would have let people figure it out a long time ago.
Not only does Qian want to eat vegetables, but even she herself really wants to eat them.
Qian grinned and said Okay, it won't be wrong to leave this matter to Tian Mai.
She handed the hoe to the maid, walked up to Tian Mai herself, and asked Tian Mai what was the matter with her?
"I'm making beef jerky, would you like to check it out?"
"Did you do it?"
"It's done, it's already put down in the pot and stewed, stew for half an hour and then go and pick it up."
Qian shook her hand and said why didn't she ask her to go with her?
She can't wait for the store to open tomorrow, so she has something to do, and she doesn't have to be bored at home and have nothing to do.
Tian Mai pulled her soothingly, saying that it was her first time making beef jerky, try it first, and then teach her how to make it after she succeeded.
When it is decided that she wants to open a shop, the workshop must also be under the management of the Qian family, and she has experience in this area.
Qian snorted, pulled Tian Mai into the room and sat down, and asked her why Mrs. Wu came to her? Do you get along well?
Miss Wu is so difficult to get along with, can her mother get along well? It can't be the same kind of people, right?
Tian Mai poured two cups of tea with her own hands, pushed one to Qian's face, and she took a sip of one by herself.
"Miss Wu is here too."
"What? She's coming too? What is she here for? She didn't do anything to you, did she? Why didn't you tell me? With me here, it's safer. ”
She thought that Mrs. Wu was here, but she didn't expect that even the murderous Miss Wu was here, and she really didn't know what medicine was being sold in the gourd of their mother and daughter.
Seeing her so nervous, Tian Mai's heart was warm and she wanted to laugh, saying that this was the General's Mansion, not the Wu family, and it was not outside, and Miss Wu didn't dare to do anything.
With Mrs. Wu in front of her, she didn't dare to do it casually.
That's too......
Qian breathed a sigh of relief and asked them what they were doing here?
Tian Mai didn't want her to worry too much, so he told her.
After listening, Qian smiled and slapped his palms and said that he deserved it.
People like her should be treated harshly, otherwise, they will think that the whole world revolves around her.
"Let's not talk about her, let's talk about beef jerky and the store."
"Okay, you say, I'll listen." Qian sat upright, looking at Tian Mai with serious eyes, and every time he listened to Tian Mai, he could learn a lot from it.
Seeing her like this, Tian Mai couldn't help laughing, and patted her arm lightly, telling her to relax and not be so serious.
It's not about big things, it's just about casual talk.
Qian also felt a little funny, she relaxed/leaned back in the chair slightly, nodded to Tian Mai, and said okay.
Tian Mai took another sip of tea, moistened his throat, and slowly opened his mouth.
She didn't stop until the cook came to her and said that the beef jerky was okay.
"Let's go see the beef jerky."
Qian shook her head and stood up excitedly, hearing Tian Mai say this, she felt that her whole body was boiling.
If the beef jerky is done well, the achievement will not be worse than that of pork jerky.
The two went to the kitchen, Tian Mai opened the lid of the pot, and the kitchen was immediately filled with an enticing fragrance.
Qian took a deep breath and said a good fragrance.
Even the cook who was standing on the side widened her eyes and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Tian Wheat tore a little bit and put it in his mouth, felt that it was enough to taste, and nodded with satisfaction, "I can't eat it now, I have to continue processing." ”
Qian pulled up his sleeve and asked her what to do?
"You come ......" Tian Mai gave up his position to Qian, and Qian hurriedly stepped forward, looking at Tian Mai and waiting for her next instructions.
"Put the sesame seeds in the pot, stir-fry until fragrant, then put the oil, and after the oil is hot, put the beef jerky down and fry it slowly."
"Good ......"
Tian Mai watched Qian's execution in place, and she turned around to prepare chili powder, pepper powder, sugar and other things.
She is going to make half spicy and half not spicy, compare the effects and see which ones are more delicious.
When the beef jerky came out of the pot, Tian Mai looked at the color and tried another piece.
After eating, a smile appeared on his face, gave Qian a thumbs up, and said with a smile that it was successful.
"Really?"
"Really, you try."
Qian picked up the chopsticks and tasted them, nodded again and again and said that they were delicious.
Tian Wheat also wants the cook to try it to see if the charm is not to the taste of the people here?
The cook couldn't help it for a long time, and when she heard Tian Mai's words, she didn't refuse, and tried two flavors of beef jerky respectively, so delicious that she almost swallowed her tongue/head.
She never knew that beef could do this, and it was so delicious.
Tian Mai saw the cook's expression, and he had a bottom in his heart, but he still asked, "How is it, is it delicious?" ”
The cook almost knocked her head off and said it was delicious.
"Of the two flavors, which one do you prefer?"
"It's spicy, it's spicy enough to be strong enough, people here should like spicy tastes, and when it's cold, take it out and chew it, and it can also warm up your body."
Tian Mai was thoughtful, and when Zhao Darong came back, she took out the little beef jerky she kept for him to eat, and asked him to give some advice.
Zhao Darong also prefers spicy beef jerky, which he thinks is full of flavor and chewy.
"Okay, then make more spicy beef jerky, and less spicy ones." Tian Mai listened to Zhao Darong's words and made a decision, "The beef jerky has been successfully made, and the next step is to find a store and someone to work." ”
Zhao Darong reached out and pinched her nose and asked how many people her workshop plans to invite? Is it to open a workshop in the house, or what?
Opening a workshop in the house?
Tian Wheat vetoed it at the first time, and he couldn't open a workshop in the house.
People come and go, it's not safe.
It's not like it's in Shanghe Village, the villagers are all familiar, even if they do something bad, they will make a small fuss, and they won't make anything fatal.
It's different here, I'm not familiar with the people recruited from outside, what if it's a spy? How dangerous is that?
It's best to rent or buy a shop with a yard kitchen and those behind, so you can do it directly there.
Freshly baked is better to sell.
As soon as Tian Mai said her thoughts, Zhao Darong did not object at all, and asked her to do whatever she wanted, and he would carry it behind if there was anything.
"With you as a big backer, I don't have to worry about the store being ruined."
Zhao Darong curled the corners of his mouth and asked her to lean on.
Didn't he become stronger just to protect his family and give them a better life?
Tian Mai stood up with a smile and kissed him on the lips, and told him about Mrs. Wu and Miss Wu's visit today.
"Miss Wu is here too? What is she here for? Is there any embarrassment for you? ”
"What you said is exactly the same as what Sister Dai Di said." Tian Mai helped his forehead, feeling a little funny.
She is not a weak woman, how can she be embarrassed by her in her own home?
"She's a crazy woman, you don't have to pay attention to her."
"What? Did she go to you? ”
Tian Mai asked casually, and when she saw Zhao Darong's expression as if she had eaten, her eyes widened in surprise, "She really went to look for you?" ”
It won't be that after leaving her house, she will go to find Zhao Darong, right?
Zhao Darong hummed speechlessly, and explained that he ignored her.
Not only did she ignore her, but she was also kicked out of the barracks and told that others were not allowed to let her in again.
