Hearing the old lady say to go in, Li Jicai was a little nervous for no reason, took a deep breath, and then gently pushed the door open and went in, and as soon as he entered, he smelled a smell.

But the smell is not unpleasant, but faint, the aroma can't tell what it is, it seems to be the smell of some kind of flower, or the smell of mixture, in short, it is not very bad and acceptable.

The décor in the room was simple and somewhat unexpected to her.

Once inside, there was a bed on the left, a wardrobe in the direction of the door, and a dozen or so wooden boxes piled up on the right, all painted red.

The vanity mirror was placed not far from the bed, and when I walked in, there was still a small round table, and the small round table was in the center of the room, and there was a pot of tea on it, and a cup, yes, only one cup.

The tablecloth on the small round table is a very festive tablecloth of purple red, and the bedding on the bed is also bright red, and it is embroidered with mandarin duck moire, and there are some other auspicious beasts or something.

Along with the surface of the wardrobe, the walls of the room are also painted red, and most of the furniture is the old lady's bed.

It's like the furnishings at home when she just got married, Li Jicai was a little surprised, originally she thought that this room must be very plain.

The old lady sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Li Jicai with unblinking eyes, Li Jicai looked back at her with some restraint, and the old lady's chin raised in the direction of the table, signaling her to come over.

Then Li Jicai obediently walked over, pulled out the small stool next to the table, and then sat down, put his hands on his knees, straightened his back, and looked at the old lady respectfully.

The old lady was very satisfied with her gesture, and she always felt that Li Jicai was a sensible person, so she didn't make it difficult for her.

If she really wanted to make things difficult for her, Li Jicai would definitely not be as easy as she is now, and after Li Jicai sat down, the old lady got up from the side of the bed, and then walked down slowly, walked across the table to the dozen or so big red wooden boxes.

When I walked to the wooden box and was about to open it, I suddenly remembered something, turned my head and asked, "What did you tell me you want?" ”

"Mother-in-law, I want chili peppers, star anise and small spices, it's okay."

Li Jicai wants to make sauces, so she needs these things, her mother-in-law nodded, the look on her face did not change, it is true that when she was in her hometown, there were also many people who used these things to make all kinds of seasonings.

It seems that Li Jicai has learned a lot of things about this, and people have also said that this is the secret method of the family, I don't know where it came from, and what she said is that her home is in the Jinling area is absolutely impossible to achieve, and it is possible to achieve it when she meets her.

Every year, the things she grows about her hometown will be carefully sealed, don't look at the vegetables she grows in the vegetable field, the vegetables that are in season.

But in fact, they don't harvest it, and ask someone to get it back.

He would only carefully pack the crops and fruits from his hometown into cloth bags, and then bring them back and put them on a sieve, expose them to the sun, and then seal them up after many days of exposure, and then put them in large boxes.

Over the years, she had collected a considerable portion of the materials in large boxes.

But, she's so old, what's the use of her collecting these?

The people of Chu don't eat these things, and she can't use them, so she can't use them, so she has accumulated more than a dozen large boxes, and there is no other use for them except to see things and think about people, and to see things and feel homesick.

It can only be just to see, she can't go back to her hometown, when the rebels left, she had already said that she would never go back, and the people at home, I don't know what the situation is, she won't think about it anymore.

After all, it was a decision made by yourself, and you can't regret it.

"How much do you want?"

"Mother-in-law, I don't have to worry about how much I want for the time being, if I can make that dish and give it to you to taste, if you think it's delicious, I'll be cheeky and ask for more, if you think it's not delicious, then I'll give up as soon as possible."

Oh, by the way, mother-in-law, I recently saw that the business of selling tofu brains was very good this morning, hot tofu brains, and now that it's cold, I really should eat something to get rid of the cold on my body.

I plan to cook the Lantern Festival for osmanthus to eat, but this little Lantern Festival requires me to knead the flour and make it myself, and then I can cook it, can my mother-in-law want to eat it? ”

"Is it sweet?"

"Of course it's sweet, but if your mother-in-law can't eat something too sweet, then it's okay to put less sugar."

Mrs. Fan nodded in agreement, in fact, she would make osmanthus and red bean lantern festivals.

Don't look at this girl's age, but some people are small and big, and they have a set of things in their heads, who would have thought that she would have so many ideas and so many wonderful ideas.

It seems that the ancestral family should also be a little rich, looking at the way they came over, but they can also endure hardships, the original tutor must be very good, otherwise he would not have cultivated such a woman, she is sensible, not bad.

With the old lady's consent, it was more convenient to act, and she decided to tomorrow

In addition to selling vegetables in the morning, the other side sells osmanthus red beans and lantern festivals, that is, the kind of spoonful and bowl.

Yes, if she makes a big jar of red beans tomorrow, how will she sell it to others? She doesn't have bowls, and there aren't many bowls in the old lady's house, so isn't it possible that she wants to wholesale bowls for the Lantern Festival to buy food?

I don't know if the bowls in the capital are expensive, how much is one? No, no, no, no.

It's not a big jar, she should put it in a few small bowls, four small bowls, well, not six small bowls, and then sell out.

It shouldn't be difficult to sell the Lantern Festival with six bowls of osmanthus and red beans, and when you look at the old and old ladies when they buy vegetables, they should like to eat these soft and glutinous things, sweet.

Some old ladies came out with their granddaughters, and some women came out to buy groceries by themselves, and they should like the taste.

Thinking of this, Li Jicai was even more confident. That's right, that's it!

"Then my mother-in-law will make these things at home this afternoon, if you make them, will you be the first to taste them?"

Mrs. Fan looked at her and nodded, then pulled it in the box again, and took out all the things that Li Jicai might need, about seven or eight small cloth bags, and she handed these seven or eight cloth bags to Li Jicai's hands.

Mrs. Fan originally wanted to make more introductions, but seeing that Li Zicai knew them all, and she also said that she would try to do it, so there was no need to introduce them there.

After saying these words, the old lady drove Li Jicai out of the door without hesitation, she still had to take a lunch break, she was old, if she didn't sleep for a while at noon, she felt a little unbearable.

After Li Jicai was kicked out, he was not depressed at all, but was still very excited. The old lady gave her eight small cloth bags, and when she opened them, she found that there were pepper, star anise, and some strange spices.

These estimates are all from the old lady's hometown of Shafan, and there is absolutely no one here in the capital of Chu State, thinking of this layer, she thought about it again, how much do you have to sell for the dozen or so big red wooden boxes in Mrs. Fan's room?

Enough is enough, absolutely enough, if you can make it, then you will definitely make a lot of money!

The big box in the old lady's room should be able to be used well, in fact, when she was in the vegetable field, she also found that the old lady did not accept those common vegetables, but those strange-looking, or special fruits that were difficult to see around her.

And the location of the vegetable field, although the side is all flat land and crop fields, but those places, whether they are vegetables or flower beds, mature a little later than other places, I couldn't figure it out at the time, but later I can understand that the place where they went, the terrain is slightly higher.

Didn't a poet say it before? She went to Xuandu to watch the peach blossoms, the flowers under the mountain, the peach blossoms under the mountain have already been thanked, and the flowers on the mountain have just bloomed, because of the terrain.

But these don't matter, as long as you can grow things, it's good, because there is a special kitchen, so Li Jicai can tinker with those things.

She closed the gate in the yard, then plugged in the deadbolt, and locked Xiao Hei in the kitchen not far from her, Xiao Hei was really round, and her big black and bright eyes stared at her, just looking at her busy and busy, her eyes were full of confusion.

Because there was no butter, Li Jicai decided to use lard first, because there was a small jar of lard in the house, which the old lady brought back from outside, saying that it was given to her by a friend she knew.

The white lard, although it looks greasy, but it is much better when it goes into the pot, and the leftover vegetables she sold today have chili peppers in them, and onions are not.

But there were potatoes, and she peeled them, and then cut them into slices and put them together with the peppers, and it would be nice if there were onions, and there were garlic and garlic, and there were garlic heads, and then there were garlic heads, and then they were one by one, and they counted about twenty grains.

A handful of it was put in, no need to pat it flat, and then a small piece of chili pepper was cut and put in, so that the base was ready to be successful, and now the most important thing is, what to make meat dishes?

In modern times, people have shrimp, pangasius, chicken wings, chicken feet, all kinds of things, so what does she have here?

Her chicken is only a little bit, if she eats it, she will definitely not be able to do it, but the family is not married, and the meat at home is only a dog in Xiao Erhei.

I heard that this dog meat is good?

Li Jicai waved the knife in his hand at Xiao Erhei, and then laughed evilly, Xiao Erhei trembled when he saw it, and retreated in panic, hitting the door panel directly, and then shrunk his head and buttocks, very frightened.

Li Jicai shook his teeth and claws at it again, and then went back to tinkering with the dishes.
