Chapter 5 A Hundred Taels of Silver

In the next few days, Song Yao was busier than the month she opened the store, making lo-mei, spiced peanuts, and a limited amount of tempeh fish, and really experienced what it means to fall asleep with a pillow.

After the soybeans fermented for three days, there was a sticky liquid between the beans, and Song Yao set out to make tempeh.

The next steps are also simple, add salt, chili noodles, pepper powder, and minced ginger to the fermented soybeans, stir evenly, then pour in the water in which the soybeans are boiled, add a small amount of liquor, and bury them in the ground for about ten days before they can be eaten.

It's a pity that Song Yao didn't find the chopped pepper, and the taste of the tempeh was always a little worse.

Because there were not many tempeh made before, the tempeh fish was only promoted for five days before it was out of stock, and in the face of the guests' love for tempeh fish, Song Yao happily promised that it would be done in another five days, so that the guests could wait.

"Song Niangzi, I came here for your tempeh fish, and it was sold out before noon, did you make too little?" On the fifth day, the tempeh fish was sold out, and some customers were dissatisfied.

"This eldest brother is also a frequent visitor, knowing that I, Song Yao, am in charge of a woman's house, and my energy is also limited. Besides, there are only two fish sellers in the market, that is, I want to make more tempeh fish, and I have to buy fish, right? Song Yao smiled and said: "This tempeh fish is the signature side dish of Song's sister-in-law's noodle restaurant, there are many guests who like to eat this fish, if the eldest brother really likes it, he can only hurry up tomorrow." ”

"What Song Niangzi said is right, there are only two fish sellers in this market, you have to buy it if you want to do it, if you want to eat it, you can hurry up tomorrow." The eldest lady in an alley also came to buy fish, and she was not annoyed when she saw that it was sold out, and she also relieved Song Yao, "Song Niangzi, cut your lo-mei for me two taels, my old man likes your side dishes to drink, and spiced peanuts also come for half a catty." ”

"Uncle has been eating this for a few days, why don't you change the taste today?" After Song Yao finished cutting the lo-mei, she said with a smile: "These spiced peanuts are also on fire if you eat too much, why don't you come to two or two, go home and blanch some green vegetables in water, and use some cooked oil to salad it is also delicious." ”

"Then I don't, I don't know how your oil is made, it tastes different from what I made at home, or I made it here?" The eldest lady thought for a moment and asked tentatively.

Song Yao thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Yes, I will charge an extra two pennies for oil, does the aunt think so?" ”

"What's wrong with that, you don't want money to put oil in this store, and I earned the extra two pennies." The eldest lady happily paid for the dish and took the lo-mei into her hands.

Song Yao walked to the back kitchen with spiced peanuts, and heard Song Yuanbao recommend to the man before: "Uncle, although there is no tempeh fish anymore, but my mother's pork belly fried with tempeh is also delicious, and you can also steam pork ribs to make tempeh noodles, do you want to have a try?" ”

"Tempeh is delicious to make?" Without waiting for the man to speak, other customers who had ordered food asked.

"Of course, my mother has done it for me, but my mother said that the cost is too high, and it is not easy to price, so there is no listing." After Song Yuanbao finished speaking, he hurriedly covered his mouth, looking like he had said the wrong thing.

Song Yao shook her head and smiled, her son is not only a fan of small wealth, but also has a talent for acting.

The price of tempeh fish is a little high, Song Yao promoted it on the grounds of high cost of tempeh, and people who really like to eat don't care about spending so much more than one or two pennies, after all, eating this is very satisfying, and many people don't know how to make fish, so it's acceptable to eat a meal once in a while.

But the price of pork belly and pork ribs is not high, and ordinary dishes can only be sold at a good price in big restaurants, which is why Song Yao is reluctant to do it.

While Song Yao was busy opening a shop, the new county magistrate in Hongyuan County came to the mansion every day.

Hu Youwei, the only concubine of the county magistrate, was anorexic because of the unaccustomed water and soil along the way, and the food cooked by the cook brought by the house was not appetizing, and the food bought outside also did not raise the appetite, which gave the county couple a headache.

"Xiaolian, you can take it all, I can't eat it." Hu Jiayue, who has lost more than a dozen pounds, has a sharp chin that is about to pierce the small hand that supports her cheek.

"Miss, let's eat a few more bites, this is the most famous restaurant in the county." Xiaolian looked at her master distressedly, tears rolling in her eyes.

"I really don't have an appetite, so you can spare me." Hu Jiayue looked at her maid pitifully, knowing that she was really worried about herself, but she couldn't be forced to come without appetite.

Xiaolian had no choice but to pack up her meals and leave with her food box.

When Mrs. Hu came to visit her daughter, she saw Xiaolian's dejected appearance, and she knew that Hu Jiayue must have not eaten anything without asking.

"Daughter, if you really don't like it here, when you get better, my mother will order someone to send you back to your hometown, okay?" Mrs. Hu said distressedly.

"I'm fine, don't worry about it." Hu Jiayue pulled the corners of her mouth and showed a weak smile.

There are some words, even in the face of her mother, Hu Jiayue can't say it, just because everything is a foregone conclusion.

"You girl, the doctor said that you are weak and need more rest and tonics, my mother asked you to stew bird's nest, you drink a little and go to rest." Mrs. Hu really loves her daughter, but she doesn't know what to do.

"Thank you, Mother." Hu Jiayue smiled politely, and guilt rose in her heart.

Because she was dissatisfied with the marriage, she always pressed a big stone in her heart, but she learned three obedience and four virtues since she was a child, so that Hu Jiayue had no way to strive for her own happiness.

Pressed in her heart, she was infected with cold and water and soil along the way, and now she has been diagnosed with anorexia, Hu Jiayue sometimes hopes that she will continue to be sick like this, maybe she can escape the cause of not wanting to marry.

But at this moment, looking at Mrs. Hu's obviously haggard face, Hu Jiayue knew that she was wrong, she shouldn't worry her mother who loved her the most, this is unfilial.

Holding the white porcelain bowl, Hu Jiayue wanted Mrs. Hu to feel at ease, but after taking a sip of bird's nest, Hu Jiayue turned her head and spit it out.

has not eaten regularly for a long time, Hu Jiayue wants to eat, but her body instinctively rejects it.

"Quick, get water." Mrs. Hu straightened Hu Jiayue's back while directing the maid to pour water, "It's okay if you don't want to eat, my mother will let someone stew other supplements for you, you go to rest first, and my mother will come to see you later." ”

"Hmm." The mouth of the spit was bitter, and Hu Jiayue could only nod in response.

After settling Hu Jiayue, Mrs. Hu instructed her eldest maid Sister Hong when she left: "Pass the word, who can make the young lady have an appetite and reward a hundred taels of silver." I don't believe that in a county as big as Hongyuan County, there is no chef whose skills can meet my daughter's appetite. ”

"Yes, ma'am." Sister Hong took the order and glanced at Hu Jiayue quite worriedly, I was really afraid that I would die like this when I looked at the young lady who grew up.
