Chapter 165: Hot and Sour Fish Fillet Soup
She retorted: "Childe, you can't ask the horses to run again, and you want the horses to not eat grass!" If you give more to Xiaozhu, Xiaozhu will work harder and harder to make money. Usually you can earn a net profit of 100 taels a month, maybe you may earn 150 taels with this incentive. If you take 70 percent, it is higher than 80 percent. Do you think that's the reason? Also, since Xiaozhu is in charge of opening a store in the future, I'm afraid that I won't be able to cook food for my son in the house anymore. That monthly money, Xiaozhu naturally can't ask for it anymore. "She hadn't taken it once, anyway.
Yuan Tianye said that, but he wanted to tease her. If it had been placed in the past, he would probably do everything possible not to let Lin Xiaozhu make money, and wanted to use the five thousand taels of silver to tie her to his side. But now, after the old man Xuanyuan made things clear, he knew that if he did it again, it would cause the old man to be disgusted. And Lin Xiaozhu's excellent plan just now also made him feel that if he still did what he did, suppressing Lin Xiaozhu's talent and trapping her beside him, he would not only not get her heart, but would push her farther and farther. After all, every talented person is eager to show their ambitions. For those who suppress their own development, they will definitely be disgusted.
"Okay, three-seven is three-seven." He said, "But you will still live in the house in the future, and when you have time, you will cook food for my son." So you really can't live without that monthly money. ”
Lin Xiaozhu was stunned: "I will still live in the mansion in the future?" But then she figured it out. As a person who has so many secrets of Yuan Tianye, he can't be left outside. If he can let her go out and open a shop, he is already conniving her. At that moment, he said: "Everything is subject to the arrangement of the child." ”
Yuan Tianye nodded: "Yuan Wuniang will follow you in the future." Escort you back and forth between Yuan's Mansion and Dim Sum Shop every day. If you feel that she is too idle at the dim sum shop, you can also arrange an errand for her. ”
"Yes." Lin Xiaozhu has no objection to this arrangement. It's normal to send someone to watch over her. Otherwise. She was going to wonder what the hell Yuan Tianye was up to again.
In the next few days, Yuan Tianye was busy using his own power to impeach He Wenqing. Lin Xiaozhu was busy trying to make all kinds of dim sum. A dim sum shop must have at least 20 or 30 kinds of dim sum, but old-fashioned dim sum that people are used to eating must have, and then on this basis, improve some of the original ones, and then create some new varieties. Lin Xiaozhu was a person who liked to travel and a foodie in his previous life, so he knew a lot about snacks in various places. As a result, improved and innovative foods were quickly formulated. Among them, the cold noodles and cold noodles that are more suitable for eating in summer are made of white fungus, red dates, wolfberries, and dried grapes. Then I made some crystal pastries with fruits, adding fried noodles, seasonal cakes and some lo-mei.
In addition, she took good care of the peppers. The chili pepper seller was supposed to sell it as a flower appreciation. So those peppers not only grew fruit, but also turned red. Lin Xiaozhu is also worried that he will not be able to feed. The seeds are not yet ripe. There is no way to keep the seeds. But I didn't want this thing to be really good to grow, so I just watered it every day and survived. Lin Xiaozhu finally couldn't help but pick two down.
Originally, Lao Wang and his two mothers-in-law had already been ambushed by Lin Xiaozhu. She was cooking some food for herself in the small kitchen, and they would never say anything, but Lin Xiaozhu was unwilling to give someone a handle, so she asked Zhou Yun to buy a small stove and pots and pans, and bought a fresh fish, and took a little sour bamboo shoots. I made a bowl of fragrant and bright hot and sour fish fillet soup in the small cross courtyard.
Just as she put the fillet soup into a bowl and cleaned up the stove. There was a knock at the door.
"Who?" Lin Xiaozhu looked at the sky. It was already evening, and there was only a ray of light left in the sky, and it was going to be dark soon. I wondered who would call her at this time.
"Lin Xiaozhu, it's Gongzi and me." Yuan Shi's voice came from the courtyard gate.
At this time, what did Yuan Tianye do when he came to her yard? Lin Xiaozhu frowned, put the pot down, and ran to open the door.
Yuan Tianye probably just took a bath, wearing a moon-white thin cool summer shirt, half-draped in his hair, under the illumination of the afterglow, he felt more and more that his eyes were like ink, his facial features were distinct, and he was extremely handsome.
Seeing Lin Xiaozhu open the door, he smiled and said, "I have something to talk about, I wanted Yuan Shi to call you." But thinking that it was nothing, he walked over. ”
As soon as Lin Xiaozhu heard this, he knew that the date for the opening of the store had arrived, and he didn't care about his bowl of fish fillet soup, so he turned sideways and let Yuan Tianye in: "Childe, do you want to go in and sit?" ”
"Okay." Yuan Tianye had already wanted to go into Lin Xiaozhu to live in this courtyard and take a look. This small cross-courtyard is not very unusual, and I can't help but worry about Yuan Dagongzi. But since he lived in Lin Xiaozhu, his status in Yuan Gongzi's mind has been different.
The small courtyard is not big, and it is cleaned up, even those flowers and trees are cleaned up by Lin Xiaozhu. Yuan Tianye nodded secretly as he walked.
Suddenly, he stopped, pointed to a place in the corner, and said, "This is the chili pepper?" ”
"Exactly." Lin Xiaozhu showed a cheerful smile, "I was worried that I wouldn't be able to feed myself, but I didn't expect it to grow well." ”
"By the way, you were so concerned about it that day, and you said you could make the most delicious thing. I've been busy for the past few days, and I haven't bothered to ask, what can this thing do to eat? Yuan Tianye said curiously.
Lin Xiaozhu's face was embarrassed: "This is actually a kind of seasoning, and those who like it feel that they can't do without it, but those who have never tasted it feel unbearable." ”
Yuan Tianye was about to speak again, when he suddenly shrugged his nose and said, "What smell?" ”
Lin Xiaozhu only smiled bitterly. What else could it smell like? Naturally, it is the taste of hot and sour fish soup. Sour bamboo shoots, chili peppers and fish are the most wonderful, and it doesn't feel like it's going to be done alone, but once they are put together, they produce a mouth-watering fragrance that is so strong that you can smell it from afar.
The reason why she smiled bitterly was because of the hot and spicy feeling that comes from eating chili peppers, which people who don't usually eat spicy can't stand it. How to make people who have never eaten chili peppers like this kind of thing, so as to make a lot of money from it, is a question she has been thinking about these days. In the end, I came to the conclusion that taking it slowly, just like smoking opium, slowly lures people to become addicted. In winter, it is estimated that everyone will be inseparable from her chili pepper. At that time, she can also open a hot pot restaurant and make a mandarin duck pot, and the business will definitely be very prosperous.
As for how to make people slowly accept this taste, Lin Xiaozhu also thought about it. In the end, it was decided to use Yuan Tianye as an experiment. According to her plan, in the process of cooking in the future, she would make a slightly spicy dish for Yuan Tianye to eat each time, and slowly cultivate him to accept this spicy taste, so that he would like this taste.
But now, Yuan Tianye broke in at this time, and smelled the smell of the hot and sour fish soup she made, so he was bound to taste it next. But the combination of chili pepper and sour bamboo shoots is the strangest, obviously not very spicy chili peppers, once cooked with sour bamboo shoots, it will look particularly spicy. So today's soup is not suitable for Yuan Tianye. But fortunately, she hasn't eaten spicy food for a long time, and she is worried that her stomach and mouth are not adaptable, so she puts less chili peppers, and the spicy taste is not particularly heavy.
However, since Yuan Tianye asked, she couldn't hide it, so she had to say: "Look at the red peppers so red, I couldn't help but pick two today, and I was making a soup with sour bamboo shoots and fish, and I haven't tasted it yet, so you came." After speaking, he smiled, "But I'm afraid you won't be able to eat this dish, it's like eating old ginger, and the spicy taste is very strong." If you want to taste the taste of chili peppers, I'll make you a slightly spicy dish tomorrow. ”
Yuan Tianye looked at her with his eyes: "I can't eat it, but you can?" ”
Lin Xiaozhu nodded: "Yes." My grandfather used to go out into the mountains and bring back a packet of dried chili peppers, so I only knew that there was such a thing, and like my grandfather, I liked it very much. But the year my grandfather died, my uncle brought me home, and the peppers grown in my hometown were dug up. I haven't tasted it since. ”
Speaking of this, thinking of his relatives in his previous life, as well as those delicacies that he could never eat again, Lin Xiaozhu lowered his head and showed a sad look.
Regarding Lin Xiaozhu's statement, Yuan Tianye was skeptical. In the past few days, he has also sent someone to check the origin of this chili pepper. But it was the people who went abroad who brought a little bit of plant seeds that they had never seen before. But I don't know how to use these plants, so I just treat them as rare potted plants and give them to the nobles to enjoy. Because the pepper does not have bright flowers, and the fruit has a choking spicy taste, no one pays attention to it and likes it, and it is gradually forgotten in the corner.
Lin Xiaozhu's grandfather is just a peddler. The farthest he's ever been is probably the closest town to the mountains, right? In that place, how can there be chili peppers for sale? And how did he know that these peppers were seasonings and could be eaten?
But in addition, Lin Xiaozhu made him unable to figure out and understand a lot of things, and he also knew that Lin Xiaozhu had no different intentions, and it was not good to ask too much. He immediately put the matter aside and said, "No matter what, you have to taste it." ”
When Lin Xiaozhu saw him say this, he had no choice but to use a small bowl with half a bowl of soup and a few pieces of fish fillets, handed them to Yuan Tianye, and said, "You taste it first, and then add it when you like it." ”
Fortunately, after such a delay, the fish soup is not so hot. Otherwise, it was hot and spicy, and Yuan Tianye had to jump up.
Yuan Tianye took the small bowl. I saw that the bowl was milky white soup, snow-white fish fillets, pale yellow sour bamboo shoots, green onions, yellow ginger shreds, and bright red chili peppers, which set off each other, and it was very beautiful.
"It looks good and smells good." He smiled, brought the bowl to his lips and took a slow sip.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaozhu hurriedly went and poured a glass of cold boiled water.
(There is also a shift in the evening.) )
