Chapter 4 Procurement of Ingredients

There should be the most ingredients in the hotel, so Qin Zheng first went to the small hotel in the village and spent 2 taels and 3 yuan of silver to buy herring, ham and Shao wine. The innkeeper said that the chickens had been sold out, and told her that the hillside south of the village was full of hares and that she could catch them if she wanted. Prices here are ridiculously high, and even if there were chickens and rabbits in the hotel, she couldn't afford them, so she had to make another plan.

When walking towards the entrance of the village, Qin Zheng bought a small basket of plums at the fruit vendor for 6 yuan of silver, she put all the ingredients she bought into her belt, and then looked at the passers-by who passed by her while walking, and suddenly heard a voice murmuring: "My son is coming back in the evening, what should I do for him?" Is it chicken again? She turned her head and saw an old lady sprinkling rice in front of her house to feed the chickens, and a thought suddenly took shape in her mind.

The hillside to the south of the village is covered with green blades of grass and wildflowers. Sure enough, as the hotel owner said, there are bunches of rabbits here, and there are many people who are laughing and running after the rabbits with big sticks.

It's a strange world, where species are surprisingly vibrant, and animals and plants are the same, just rampant everywhere. The people here are very unguarded, and they can talk to each other casually. Qin Zheng began to suspect that this might not be the underworld underworld she imagined, there was no Lechuan, no Meng Po, no Nai He Bridge, and no Manzhu Sahua.

Looking up at the fiery sun in the sky, where is there such a brilliant sunshine in the underworld? But this will never be the Western Bliss, if a wicked person like her who kills people like cutting grass can also go to the Western Bliss after death, the Buddha should hide in the eighteen layers of hell and cry without crying. However, she has always been lonely and inseparable, as long as she can live freely and casually, where does it matter? After death, it is time to snicker if you haven't been skinned and cramped in the oil pan!

Qin Zheng let out a sigh and stopped thinking nonsense. I saw her hand like lightning, and she picked up the ears of a rabbit that was running by her side. Turn around, shoot again, another one, and throw them all into your belt and walk back empty-handed. She began to gradually feel the goodness of this strange world, such as now, people who are so poor that they can't shake a few copper plates upside down can still use the magic weapon of storage!

"Wow, handsome!" At this time, a man standing next to Qin Zheng saw this scene and exaggeratedly shouted: "This hand is really cool!" Which sect did you enter? The moves are so handsome, I want to go too. ”

Sect? Qin Zheng didn't know what sects there were in this world, remembering that Lao Ji had talked about the Hundred Feet Gate when he eavesdropped on him before, so he replied casually. For fear that this person would have to ask more questions, he took three steps and walked away quickly.

"A hundred-foot door? Isn't that a sword faction? After Qin Zheng left, the man came back to his senses, scratched his head with his hand and muttered, "Could it be that the Sword Sect also teaches grappling?" I'll go to the forum to find a post to study and ......"

When he walked back to the village and saw the old lady feeding the chickens again, Qin Zheng took out a live rabbit from his belt and stepped forward and said, "Auntie, can I exchange this rabbit for a chicken with you?" ”

"Change the chicken?" The old lady raised her dizzy eyes, glanced at the rabbit in Qin Zheng's hand, and felt that the meat was bulging very fat, so she said happily: "Okay, you can pick one yourself and take it away." ”

Qin Zheng handed over the rabbit to the old man, and picked a little hen in the flock of chickens to leave, but listened to the old lady say: "Girl, wait, you see my age, I can't do the work of killing rabbits, if you are free, can you help me kill this rabbit?" ”

The people in this village seem to have a problem, that is, they like to ask people to do things for them, even if you don't know them before and have never seen them. When Qin Zheng was buying ingredients in the tavern just now, the shopkeeper actually asked her to help serve the dishes to the guests! However, she has a lot of things missing, that is, she has never lacked time, and she has killed a lot of people, but there are very few people who have helped, and at this time, seeing that the people in this village do not reject her, she also feels the slightest warmth in her heart, so she rolled up her sleeves and prepared to kill the rabbit.

When peeling the rabbit skin, the old lady sat on the small stool next to her and pointed at her feet, "No, your skinning technique is wrong, you have broken a good skin." ”

...... "She wasn't a butcher in the first place, how could she know the art of skinning?"

"Hey, the girl doll should be able to do housework!" The eldest lady said earnestly: "I see that you should go to Tailor Zhang to learn how to peel skin." ”

The eldest lady said endlessly, if it was the past, Qin Zheng would have turned around and left, but today when she peeled the tiger skin, she also obviously felt that her speed was not fast, compared with Lao Ji, it can be said that it is a turtle speed, but this peeling is the only means she can use to make money at present, I heard that she can find a tailor to learn, but she is also a little tempted.

Finally dealt with the rabbit, the old lady was very grateful, and she had to lead her to a tailor to learn to peel the skin, she said: "Don't look at me now that I am old, I was also in the wind when I was young!" There were not ten but eight young men in the village who pursued me, and Tailor Zhang was the most obsessive of them. You see, he still thinks about me in his heart, and he hasn't started a family even when he's old......"

"......" Qin Zheng looked up at the sky, not knowing what to say.

"You've done me such a great favor today, and I have nothing to thank you for, so I'll lead you to a tailor to learn how to peel the skin!" This person, one more skill will have one more way to live......" The old lady's eyes were not good, she didn't see that Qin Zheng was about to collapse, so she said while walking: "If I take you there, the old man won't dare to take your money, you can rest assured about this......"

"......" is just right, she has no money in the first place! The money just earned from Tailor Zhang was paid as a tribute to Sister-in-law Luo.

From the head of the village to the end of the village, the journey is not long, the old lady smiled and said, and walked and rested, and kept greeting the passing villagers, which was half an hour. When Qin Zheng came out of Tailor Zhang's house after learning to peel the skin, she saw that the sun had sunk in the west, she remembered Sister-in-law Luo's advice, and said "It's going to be bad" in her heart, and said goodbye to the old lady and hurriedly ran to the west of the village.

Before he got closer, he saw Sister-in-law Luo standing there leaning against the door with an anxious expression, and as soon as she saw Qin Zheng, she shouted loudly: "You girl, why did you come back?" Tell me to wait! ”

Faced with Sister-in-law Luo's complaints, Qin Zheng didn't bother to explain, just stood there and smiled lightly. A smile is really the best weapon to use, and Sister-in-law Luo didn't have time to worry about her, so she let her stand by her side and learn to cook after a few words.

Roast chicken in a pot, golden leg condensed in wine, boiled herring, kung pao rabbit meat, a total of four dishes, Sister-in-law Luo taught while cooking. How much salt to put in, whether water needs to be added, and what the heat should be, Qin Zheng learned by looking at the production process of these dishes.

Learning things here is very fast, Qin Zheng herself feels a little strange, just now at Tailor Zhang's place, the old man only gave a rough explanation, but she felt that she had mastered it all.

"Well, this "Roche Cookbook" is for you." After helping to deliver the food and drinks, Sister-in-law Luo went home and took out a book and handed it to her: "This is my family heirloom!" I can't find a second book in this world, and if it weren't for the sake of falling in love with you, I wouldn't be willing to give it! You can learn from this recipe, how to select and process the ingredients, it is written on it. ”

Qin Zheng's eyes were sharp, and when he took the recipe, he accidentally saw that the drawer where Luo's sister-in-law took the book was half-open and half-closed, and there was a large stack of the same "Luo's Cookbook" inside.
