In fact, from the amount of money, you can see her status in the hearts of Lord Shen and his wife.

She has lived in a farm family since she was a child, there are many brothers and sisters in the family, and life is difficult, and when she returns to the Shen family, she has private money and never spends it indiscriminately, just like that, she only saves so much.

Shen Qiange laughed sarcastically and instructed Mama Ge, "Take the usual copper coins and send them to the people in the courtyard, the public middle school will not send them money from this month onwards." ”

Since she was going to be punished, Madame Shen would definitely cut off all the supplies that the main courtyard had given her, including the people's regular silver, as well as her own.

The maids who moved out with her are at least loyal and honest, and she can't miss the silver she deserves.

Mama Ge was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"The rest of the silver, Mama will see what we urgently need, let people buy it, and the life must be lived first. You work harder, go out in person, and take my jewelry as a pawn!"

Other Mama Ge can still accept it, but when it is the second lady's jewelry, she never wants to.

"Second Miss, the silver ticket is enough to deal with the food in our courtyard, the jewelry is not appropriate, you still have to use it on weekdays!"

Under the veil, Shen Qiange pulled the corners of her mouth, she didn't have much jewelry, and they were all window dressing, they looked okay, but in fact, the workmanship was far from the real exquisite jewelry, and she didn't feel distressed at all.

Every year when she orders jewelry, she and Shen Jiaojiao are divided into two batches, and when the jewelry is delivered, it looks almost the same, but in fact, the inside is completely different. This kind of thing has happened many times, such as clothes and shoes and socks in the four seasons, small accessories and gadgets......

The Shen family and his wife have so many loopholes, why can't she see them clearly in her previous life?

At that time, she was too self-righteous, thinking that she could really get the family affection that should have belonged to her.

If there is no jewelry, there is no jewelry, she just went to the study like this, and what she lost was just the face of Mrs. Shen of the Shen family, and she wished that Mrs. Shen would be embarrassed more.

"Mama, are we going to sit and eat empty? If the main courtyard never gives us anything, will our people in the side courtyard wait to starve to death? With the money, I can plan to do something. Shen Qiange said solemnly.

Is it true that things have really come to this point?

Mama Ge originally wanted to say that there was still an old lady, but when she thought that Mama Bai beside the old lady brought someone to send silver silk charcoal this morning, she was wearing a long coat and washed it white, and there was no jewelry on her head and hands, so she was not as good as her! She also knew that the old lady's life was not very good, and she could not force her old man to make up for the second lady.

Mama Ge was a little ashamed in her heart, she was a middle-aged person, but she didn't think as far-reaching as Miss and a girl.

Mama Ge gritted her teeth and responded, "Yes, the old slave will do it early tomorrow morning." ”

Seeing that Mama Ge had thoroughly understood, Shen Qiange also relieved her heart.

She stood up from the rose chair, "Let's go, Mama will accompany me to the kitchen to see what ingredients are available, and today I will cook a few more dishes and serve them to eat with my grandmother and aunt." ”

In the morning, Mrs. Shen asked people to send a lot of fresh vegetables, filling the two large vegetable baskets in the kitchen.

There is also a small tank on the board, in which are two live black fish, and there is a moderately fat pork in the shallow bamboo basket next to the small tank.

Shen Qiange looked at these ingredients, and instantly had a plan in his heart.

This black fish is delicate and delicious, without tiny thorns, which is just right for making fish fillet porridge, and the remaining fish bones can be used to make soup.

Pork is fat and thin pork belly, plus rock sugar, it is suitable for braised pork, the braised pork is stewed soft, fat but not greasy, even if Mrs. Shen has a bad mouth, she can eat more.

Then make a steamer with three fresh steamed dumplings, and stir-fry a fish-flavored cabbage, which is a hearty and well-restrained dinner.

The seasoning that was lacking last night has already asked Mama Ge to send the little maid to buy some this morning.

It's just that there are still very few various colors on the market, and some need to go to the pharmacy to buy, such as cinnamon, tangerine peel, star anise, etc., as for soy sauce, vinegar or something, don't think about it, or find a time to brew it yourself!

At present, the most common cooking methods of Daqi people are still steaming and boiling, and there are very few stir-fried dishes, let alone frying.

Even the most famous restaurant in Beijing only has a small amount of stir-fried dishes, which is still a secret recipe mastered by the chef.

As soon as Shen Qiange said that she wanted to cook, Mama Ge didn't let her do it like last night, she really ate the dishes made by the second miss last night, she couldn't help drooling when she thought of the taste, Mama Ge decided to take Liangchen to learn first, and when she learned the tenth or twelfth of the second miss's skills, this job could be handed over to them to do.

When Shen Qiange asked Liangchen to help deal with the ingredients, Mama Ge took out the little maid around the kitchen door.

I didn't know last night, but now I know, how can the second lady's secret recipes for cooking let them learn secretly.

To put it mildly, in the future, the old lady really doesn't care about the second miss at all, and the second miss can also rely on these secret recipes to live and nourish.

Shen Qiange moved neatly, scooped the japonica rice, put it in a casserole, poured water, boiled it into porridge, and then put the fish fillets processed by Liangchen into crystal clear and moderately thick small pieces into the porridge, add seasonings and stew for a while after boiling. As for the rest of the mullet head and bones boiled into the soup.

The porridge can be stewed slowly on a small stove, and the fish-flavored dishes are also fast, leaving three fresh steamed dumplings and braised pork.

Tell Liangchen and Mama Ge how to make steamed dumplings, and Shen Qiange will be in charge of the braised pork.

Within a quarter of an hour, the small kitchen in the side courtyard of Ningshoutang exuded an attractive fragrance.

The fragrance of this braised pork seems to have grown legs, drifting away with the evening breeze of early spring.

The shopkeeper of the hundred-year-old tavern stood at the door again, snorting, his mouth was frantically secreting saliva, and he shook his head helplessly and sadly, "Who made something delicious, this taste is too gluttonous! ”

Shen Jingyan rode a horse to escort Shen Qiange's carriage to the alley where the Shen Mansion was located.

Suddenly he grabbed the reins, and the sound of a low conversation reached his ears.

"The old lady's yard at the back made something delicious? It tastes so good! It's almost like you're hungry for people's tongues!"

"The old lady lives a hard life, what can you do to eat, don't blow it!"

"Really! If I lie to you, then punish me for not having enough to eat for the rest of my life!"

......

Shen Jiaojiao, who was sitting in the carriage, naturally heard this conversation.

She frowned slightly, and suddenly said, "Brother, I want to eat the Hu cakes from the old shop in the back alley, you can accompany me to buy them." ”

Thinking of the conversation between these two little guys, Shen Jingyan agreed smoothly.

The Hu Cake Shop in the back alley is not far from the century-old tavern, and it is the courtyard wall adjacent to Ningshoutang.

When the brother and sister got closer to the backyard wall of the Shen Mansion, a domineering fragrance suddenly wafted in front of them, encroaching on their sense of smell.
