Chapter 133: A Chance Encounter

"It's getting warmer day by day, so it's best not to leave it too long. I'm going to give this duck to Wednesday today to taste, and if he thinks it's good, I'll talk about cooperation! Yu Xiaocao smiled faintly.

"That's good, that's good! Auntie won't delay you, go early and return early, Auntie is waiting for your good news! Mao was very surprised that Xiaocao came up with a new recipe so quickly, and hoped that the owner of Zhenyulou could take a fancy to Xiaocao's recipe, and her unsalable ducks could be sold at a good price.

The sisters waved goodbye to Mao's and drove the little donkey to the entrance of the village.

"Oops! Aren't these the twin daughters of the Dahai family! Where is this going? If you go to the town, take the aunt for a while? "This fake tone is uncomfortable to listen to.

Xiaocao looked at it, and it turned out to be the Xiong family, who was very close to the eldest aunt Li on weekdays. Sure enough, it lives up to her surname, this bear is like a tiger's back, dark and thick, and it is not as attractive as a blind bear!

As the saying goes: like gathers like this, this Xiong is the same as the Li family, she is a lazy and gluttonous long-tongued woman who often pays attention to people behind her back. Because of this, almost all the women in the village had quarrels with her. Except for the Li family, in the entire Dongshan Village, it is difficult to find a second person to talk to her.

Xiaocao really didn't want to take her, not only because of her character, but most importantly, because she was afraid that her weight of more than 200 catties would tire her little gray.

However, the villagers, if they don't take her, they are afraid that this girl will ruin their family everywhere. Xiaocao squeezed out a smirk and said, "Uncle Liu, come up!" ”

Xiong agreed, and climbed up from the back of the cart, and the movement almost didn't pick up Xiao Ash. Little Gray glanced back humanely, and shouted a few times, "Ang, Ang", as if in protest.

"This is the dying donkey you bought last time? It's a big life, but I survived! However, it's still a little thin, and it's not good to work! Xiong didn't reflect on his weight, but disliked that the donkey of the Xiaocao family was not strong, and it was really good.

Xiaolian has always spoken sharply: "How much silver does a strong donkey get?" Uncle Liu, if you are willing to lend us silver, my family will change to a donkey to pull the cart......"

"Uh......" Xiong was choked up, and paused and said, "If I had that spare money, I would have bought one by myself a long time ago, but I didn't have a car, and I could ride it when I went back to my parents' house!" ”

Xiaocao thought to herself: With your size, let alone a donkey, even the strongest horse may not be able to support your weight!

Xiong continued: "Besides, your family sells braised vegetables and vegetables, and you must have made a lot of money!" Who in the village doesn't know that the second child of your Yu family has climbed into a big household in the town, and a little bit of it is exposed between people's fingers, which is enough for you to eat. Do you need to borrow money from my family to buy a donkey? ”

Yu Xiaocao didn't bother to pay attention to this person, and quietly tugged at Xiaolian's clothes, suggesting that she don't talk to her. But Xiong didn't look at it at all, and said to himself: "Xiaolian, what are you doing in the town?" ”

Xiaocao said lightly: "Don't do anything!" Go buy some seasoning to make braised vegetables. ”

Xiong said again: "Your family is very profitable selling braised vegetables, right?" Listen to your aunt and mother, there is more than 100 yuan a day. That is not three or four taels of silver a month? Oops hey! Even the village chief's family may not be as rich as your family. ”

The eldest son of the village went to the north and south to do business with people and made some money. The youngest son, Xiucai, was born and was valued by the original county order, and made a pen and ink style like a master. There are hundreds of acres of fertile land in the family, and it is a first-class family in the village. Xiong's comparison of the Yu family with the village chief, this is to roast their house on the fire!

Yu Xiaocao frowned, and said with a little displeasure: "A penny of meat and vegetables, remove the capital, how much money can be left?" It is not enough for the usual expenses of the family. No, we went to the town to buy spices, and we also had to buy some spices, and every time we spent on this, we had to pay more than one or two silver! One or two more seasonings, in less than a month, will be gone! Uncle Liu, do the math, how much money do you still make? ”

Xiong's eyes rolled and said, "Do you want spices?" What are the spices? Tell me about it? ”

Yu Xiaocao glanced at her and said dryly: "Exclusive secret recipe, I don't advise!" ”

Xiong's mouth grunted a few times, and he pursed his lips unhappily. She has coveted the secret recipe of the Yu family's braised vegetables for a long time. Since she knew that Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had gone back from Xiaocao, Li's brainless one had been tricked by her many times.

It's a pity that the secret recipe has always been held by the Zhang family, even if it can't do business, it won't be cheap to others. Besides, she also heard that the secret recipe for braised vegetables had been purchased by Zhenyulou, and Zhang's usually looked at the nest, but he was actually a timid and scared. She was afraid that she would reveal the recipe, and the Zhou family, who could cover the sky with one hand in Tanggu Town, would take her under the knife. So, Zhang secretly burned the recipe. Naturally, the Xiong clan didn't want to find out anything from them.

This Xiong looks like a close relative of Xiong, but he is not stupid at all, but very shrewd. She saw that she couldn't find anything out of the Li family, so she came to the words of the little grass sisters, thinking that it was not easy to set the tone of a child? turned out to be scolded back by Xiaocao's words. The Xiong family greeted the eight generations of ancestors of the Yu family in their hearts.

Later, what Xiong said, the Xiaocao sisters ignored it, and she was no longer bored. Xiong's person is like this, the more she pays attention to her, the more she kicks her nose and face, and she should be dried!

At the gate of Tanggu Town, the Xiaocao sisters left the Xiong family on the grounds of different roads! Xiong also followed and asked the sisters when they would return to the village so that they could continue to take the ride.

Xiaocao said: "We have to stay in the town for a day, and we can only go back in the evening after picking up the younger brother." If there is anything wrong with the uncle of the Liu family, she can take the donkey cart from the next village back before noon......"

"It's okay! What can I do? Then it's settled, I'll be waiting at the gate of this city in the evening, and I'll take your car back then!" "Just kidding, it's a penny to take the car from the next village. I can buy a big steamed bun for a penny, and the Xiong family is reluctant to give it up!

The sisters went to the vegetable market first and bought the seasonings they needed to make braised vegetables. Xiaocao went to several shops to get the spices for saltwater duck, bought two fat ducks in the vegetable market, and carried them straight to the treasure house.

"Miss Yu, why do you have time to come to town today?" The big shopkeeper of Zhenyulou saw Yu Xiaocao as if he had seen the God of Wealth, and his face was full of smiles. He glanced at the duck that Xiaocao was carrying, his eyes flashed, and he hurriedly went up to catch it.

Yu Xiaocao just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a familiar voice behind him: "Shopkeeper Zhou, is there any room available today?" ”

The big shopkeeper apologized again and again with a little embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Dean Yuan!" Today's private room was booked two days in advance, or ...... Register you for the nearest day? ”

"There are no private rooms...... You can buy roast chicken! Evenly roast the chicken to the old man, it should be no problem, right? "It's the real foodie who came - the great Confucian Yuan Sinian. He was followed by Yuan Yunxi, a potential snack seller.

The big shopkeeper looked embarrassed, only Chef Wang in the back kitchen can make an authentic roast chicken taste, he is busy from morning to night, and it is already the limit to be able to make fifty or sixty chickens. Except for the private room, the remaining thirty have already been booked.

However, the dean of Rongxuan Academy, the contemporary Confucian, still has to give some face. The big shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you ...... You wait until the evening, and let the fat man Wang work overtime to make one for you! ”

Although Yuan Sinian is a senior foodie, he is not unreasonable, he said with a little regret: "That's not necessary, Lao Wang is very busy when he sees the sky!" I won't burden him! You can order a roast chicken for us first, and see when it will be lined up at the earliest. The private room should also be set at the same time, so that you can eat two roast chickens! This old king, when will you be able to take your apprentice out of the teacher! ”

Yuan Yunxi was disappointed, but she was mentally prepared: "Grandpa, I said it earlier!" The private room of Zhenyulou must be booked in advance, and it is in vain to come early on the day! ”

Yuan Sinian blew his beard and glared at him: "Isn't there nothing to do today!" Let's see if a blind cat can meet a dead mouse...... It seems that the dead mouse is really hard to touch, hehe! ”

With a turn of his gaze, Dean Yuan's eyes were attracted by the two identical little girls: "Huh? It's not ...... Isn't this Yu Fu's sister? That little girl who cooks so delicious! Is the old man dizzy from hunger? Why did the two Yu Yu's sisters appear? ”

Yuan Yunxi's old handsome face twitched, and reminded: "Grandpa, they are twin sisters. It's just like that! ”

"Oh! I said, it turned out to be twins, and I thought I was hungry! Yuan Sinian stroked his beard and smiled, "Which of you has better cooking skills?" The fried fat sausages I brought over last time made me unsatisfied. It's Lao Wang's craftsmanship, and it's far from Yu Yatou's hands......"

"Dean Yuan, you have praised it falsely! I'm just a little good at making brine, how can I compare with Chef Wang, a famous chef who has been immersed in cooking for decades? Yu Xiaocao still has a good impression of this fighter among foodies, and can't help but smile and say.

Yuan Sinian nodded with a smile and said, "Not arrogant or impatient, he has the potential to be a famous chef!" If you work as a cook in Zhenyulou, the old man will definitely come every day, and he will come all the time......"

"Grandpa, is your salary enough for you to go to the restaurant?" Yuan Yunxi dismantled the stage on the side.

"My salary is not enough, isn't there your father? To be a son's filial piety, right? I don't believe it, when the prime minister can't afford me to eat? Yuan Sinian's eyes widened and he snorted from his nostrils.

With a turn of his eyes, he saw the saltwater board duck in the hand of the smirking Xiaocao on the side, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Yu girl, what are you holding in your hand?" Wind duck? ”

In this era, the chicken, duck, fish and meat that can't be eaten are all air-dried, which is somewhat similar to the saltwater plate duck.
