Lu Xiaoxi still taught the two boys to read and write in the morning, and then went up the mountain to collect medicine, while the two of them fished at home.

Now it's summer, and the small fish are dried in two days, and the black baby is a powerful one, and the fish caught every day can be dried and there can be a pound of it.

After saving up like this for seven or eight days, Lu Xiaoxi came back with medicine during the day, and planned to fry these dried fish at night.

Lu Xiaozhou followed to touch the fish every day, but he didn't know what Lu Xiaoxi was doing with these fish that could only be fed to ducks.

Finally waited until Lu Xiaoxi said that he was going to use these dried small fish, Lu Xiaozhou volunteered: "Sister, I'll make a fire for you." ”

Sister and brother have always been like this, although Lu Xiaoxi dotes on his younger brother, but he is not to the point of not letting him do anything, these dried fish have seven or eight catties, and after they are fried, they can be sold for a lot of money, she thought about it, how much is it appropriate to sell.

I have a price in my heart, but it still depends on the counteroffer of those taverns and restaurants, how can I set it with a hammer, but the cost of these fish is low, and if the price is about the same, she will sell it, so that there is a little money left in her hand, and she can buy Sanqi.

Because when drying dried fish, in order to be afraid of spoilage, salt has been released, Lu Xiaoxi feels that if it is too salty, firstly, it will affect the dry mouth, and secondly, a dried fish can eat a bowl of rice, and it will not sell quickly, which is not conducive to selling money next time.

She first marinated it with cooking wine and light soy sauce for half an hour, and then poured out the water-based seasoning, added sugar, in order to make the taste better, Lu Xiaoxi added sugar in pain, these white sugars were used for Lu Xiaozhou to make sugar water after drinking medicine, and she was usually reluctant to eat a bite herself.

After the sugar was put away, Lu Xiaoxi added some starch, these starches were not used much, only a thin layer, and then the oil in the pot was boiled, these oils were bought by her before, Lu Xiaozhou wanted to use a few of them, but he didn't expect that his sister fell down all in one go.

He was also distressed, but he still didn't stop it, he thought, she must have her reason for doing this.

After the oil was hot, Lu Xiaoxi tried it at a certain distance from the oil surface with his hands, and felt that the oil temperature was about the same, so he poured all the small dried fish wrapped in the material.

With that rattling sound, Lu Xiaozhou smelled a good aroma.

He couldn't help but take two breaths in a row, and couldn't help but praise: "Sister, it's so fragrant." ”

Lu Xiaoxi glanced at him, "Hungry?" ”

Lu Xiaozhou was in front of his sister, there was nothing to be embarrassed about, nodded and said, "Well, I drool when I smell it." ”

Lu Xiaoxi stirred it with a fence, so that the fish would not dry up or stick together, so that the degree of frying would be different, "Don't worry, I'll give you a taste first." ”

"Hmm." Hearing that he could become the first taster of this delicacy, Lu Xiaozhou worked harder to add firewood.

If you want to fry the dried fish crispy, you can't fry it once, you have to take it out when it is fried to seven or eight minutes, and then go through the oil twice.

In the summer, even in the evening, working in front of the oil pot is very hot, and after the seven or eight catties of dried fish are fried, Lu Xiaoxi is already covered in sweat, and her arms are a little sore, Lu Xiaozhou watched her beat her arms, and hurriedly got up and came over, "Sister, I'll rub it for you." ”

Lu Xiaoxi smiled and did not refuse.

After kneading it for a while, Lu Xiaoxi felt that it was almost over, and the dried fish was also cold, so she pinched one, "Open your mouth." ”

Lu Xiaozhou obediently opened his mouth, and the dried fish was thrown in, he closed his mouth and chewed slowly, a kind of sweetness spread between his lips and teeth, and the bones of the little fish were also fried, and he couldn't feel it at all, crispy and fragrant.

"What's going on?" Lu Xiaoxi asked, she had also seen people do it in her previous life, but she didn't do it herself, so she didn't know how to do it this time.

To tell the truth, Lu Xiaozhou has never expressed his opinion, which makes Lu Xiaoxi a little apprehensive.

"Super invincible and delicious." Lu Xiaozhou said, "Sister, what Heiwa said is so right, your hands are so skillful, others say that you can't eat small fish, you can make it so delicious, you are really amazing." ”

"If it's delicious, you'll eat more."

Lu Xiaozhou shook his head, "I've tasted it all, it's delicious, if you eat some more, you will sell it for a lot less money." ”

Lu Xiaoxi patted his head with a smile, "You're smart, and you know I'm going to sell them, but it doesn't matter if you eat a little bit." ”

But I don't dare Lu Xiaoxi to say anything, Lu Xiaozhou just refuses to eat, Lu Xiaoxi thinks about it, if you don't eat, don't eat, and when you make more money next month, you will buy him a big fish to eat, the kind of big fish that eats a mouthful full of meat.

The next day was a five-day market in the town, some of the countrymen went to the market to buy things, and some wanted to sell the rare things at home, Lu Xiaoxi left a small bowl of fried dried fish for Heiwa, explained a few words to Lu Xiaozhou, and then left with the fried dried fish in a cloth bag, in order to prevent the oil inside from escaping, she also put a layer of kraft paper in the cloth bag.

Lu Xiaoxi left early, there were few people on the road, when she arrived in the town, there were not many people, just a few sporadic ones, she was very familiar with a few medicinal herb shops in the town, but she didn't know so much about restaurants and taverns, but these are the same, shop around, whoever gives the highest will sell it to whomever it wants.

Lu Xiaoxi ran several in a row, either he didn't want to buy it, as soon as he heard that it was a small fish, he refused without even looking at it, a little but he saw it, and tried it, and said that it tasted good, but the price was a little low, although the cost was not much, but he could make a little more, who didn't want to make more money.

Lu Xiaoxi passed by the largest restaurant several times, but he didn't dare to enter, such a big restaurant, a meal costs a lot of silver, will they also dislike their little fish on the table.

But thinking that she was coming, the price of one pound and twenty wen, she really didn't want to sell it, and hesitated, so she unconsciously followed the merchant who delivered food to the restaurant in the morning to someone's backyard.

I queued up for a long time, but these food deliverers were all old faces, and she was the only one who was raw, and the guy interrogated her, and heard that she was here to deliver new dishes, so he drove her away at that time.

Lu Xiaoxi sighed, it seems that she still has to go back and sell a pound of twenty wen, but it's okay, it's better to sell it than not to sell it, but she is still unwilling.

"Little brother, let me meet your manager, you believe me, if he eats my little dried fish, he will definitely buy it." In fact, Lu Xiaoxi has no bottom in her heart, thousands of people have thousands of flavors, the steward here, I haven't seen anything good, and I really don't necessarily think that the dried fish she makes is delicious.

But she didn't want to go back without even seeing anyone.

The big deal is to be rejected by others, and if you are thick-skinned, you may be able to exchange it for a chance.

The little brother shook his head, "No, our restaurant has rules, I can't be the master, the steward is busy, you can see it if you want to?" Go and go, don't delay the work, the next one, Song Laosan's pork," he looked down at the account book, "Three hundred catties ......"

A restaurant that can digest 300 catties of pork in a day must not worry about the source of customers, but it is a pity that his small dried fish cannot be sold here, "Little brother, you will let me see it." ”

"If you say no, it's not okay, why are you so stubborn, why are you so stubborn, hide away, or I'll let people blow you away."

Seeing this, Lu Xiaoxi seemed to be cheeky, and was about to turn around and go back to the tavern where he gave himself twenty yuan and a pound, when a low male voice came from behind him, "What's the matter, it's so noisy, why did I hear someone calling me?" ”

When the previous guy saw the visitor, he said respectfully: "Steward Wang, this is not good, a little girl has to say that there is a new dish to show you, I think she is making trouble." ”

The opportunity will not come again, Lu Xiaoxi hurriedly ran back, "I'm not making trouble, Steward Wang, I just have a new dish to show you, you can take a look, it won't waste much effort on your face, but if you don't look at it, maybe you will regret it for the rest of your life." ”

"Huh!" Steward Wang sneered.

The people who delivered the food also sweated for this little girl who didn't know the height of the sky, what a great dish, and as for making the well-informed Wang Steward regret it for life, this girl is too arrogant.

"I want to see what kind of dish it is, let me regret it for the rest of my life, girl, you are not big, and your tone is not small."

Lu Xiaoxi knew that the more timid she was at this time, the more people looked down upon, so she tried her best to calm down, "My tone is not small, because I am not small, it has nothing to do with my age, Wang Guanshi, you can try this dish of mine." ”

Lu Xiaoxi opened the mouth of the cloth bag, and a fragrance came to his nose, and Steward Wang squinted his eyes and looked at the small dried fish inside, a little surprised, but there was not much expression on his face.

He knew this fish, it was a little fish in the river, and he didn't know how this girl made it, it was so fragrant.

"You can taste it."

Steward Wang was not moved by Lu Xiaoxi's words, but his hand involuntarily stretched out to the dried fish, pinched one and put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully, and Steward Wang did not speak for a long time.

This makes the people around me a little confused, whether it is delicious or not.

Lu Xiaoxi also didn't have a score in his heart, whether it would work or not, but to give a sentence, is it interesting to torture people so much?

"How are you going to sell it?"

Just when Lu Xiaoxi thought there was no play, she breathed excitedly when she heard Steward Wang's question, but soon she told herself that if she wanted not to be seen as a little girl, but to stand on an equal footing between buyers and sellers, she had to be calm and have an aura.

In her previous life, she was by the old man's side, and it was not that she had not learned anything, cooking was one of them, and there were some small tricks, such as negotiating the price in her sleeve.

Lu Xiaoxi cleared his throat and shrank his hand into his sleeve, the shopkeeper Wang was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes changed slightly, and he said in his heart that this girl is not very well dressed, and she is not very old, she still understands this, old fritters!

So he also retracted his hand into his sleeve, and everyone couldn't see how their hands moved, so they saw the relaxed expressions of the two people, and soon, Steward Wang said loudly: "Deal." ”
