I saw him glaring at Zhang fiercely, and said in the tone of the head of the family: "Brother Cheng is greedy, and he didn't tell his family about it after he came once, which caused a misunderstanding." The second child will take your daughter-in-law home, don't be embarrassed here. Just now, my wife was joking with you, and you don't have to worry about any medical expenses. ”

"It's so good, since it's a misunderstanding, then Qiaoqiao won't send it. I hope that Aunt Liu will recover soon, and don't delay Brother Cheng's autumn season. Shen Qiaoqiao deliberately aggravated the word Qiuqiu, no matter whether he was admitted to Xiucai or not, today's incident will always become a thorn in the heart of the Li family.

If he passes the exam and makes a misunderstanding scandal due to gluttony, the reputation of this young talent will be flawed. If he didn't pass the exam, with the temperament of the Li family, it was indispensable to complain that Xiao Liu's family had nothing to do and had no way to teach his son.

Sure enough, at the mention of the imperial examination, the faces of the Li family changed, and even Xiao Liu, who fainted on the ground, trembled slightly.

Shen Qiaoqiao sees everything in her eyes, she will not pursue the Li family for being unreasonable, but it does not mean that the Li family can block everyone's mouths.

Lao Xiucai flicked his sleeves and left angrily, leaving a group of children to look at each other a few times, and follow behind in a gray manner.

"Sister ......"

Shen Feiyang looked at Shen Qiaoqiao puzzled, "It's obvious that they are at fault first, why did you let them go?" ”

Shen Qiaoqiao touched his head and said, "Some things can't just look at the surface. ”

——

In the afternoon, Shen Qiaoqiao came to Aunt Xiuhe's house with a prepared contract.

"You want to hire me to work?" Aunt Xiuhe exclaimed, afraid that she would have auditory hallucinations, and asked confirmatively.

Shen Qiaoqiao nodded, unfolded the contract, and explained: "My aunt has also seen today's situation, and Feiyang and I can't be busy at all. My eldest brother has his own things to do, and he can't take care of the stewed business for the time being, so I thought of my aunt. ”

Seeing that she was still hesitating, Shen Qiaoqiao continued: "In terms of salary, it is thirty yuan a day, if I can't be busy in the future, I will ask someone to help again, so that my aunt will not be too tired." ”

As soon as she heard the salary, Aunt Xiuhe's heart was moved. Thirty wen a day, one or two silver in a month, which is more than what she can earn by embroidering at home.

"Auntie promises you!" Aunt Xiuhe added: "But if your eldest brother's business is done, there is no shortage of manpower in the family, and the aunt will not do it." ”

Shen Qiaoqiao nodded in agreement, but thought in his heart that this possibility should be zero.

At present, she first set up a stall in Nanding Village, and there are more than 100 households in Nanding Village, and Aunt Xiuhe and she can still cope with it. If you want to expand your business to nearby villages, you need more people.

After returning home, Shen Qiaoqiao considered the amount of pigs needed to be drained every day in the future. According to the feedback of the people of Nanding Village today, the stew is in line with the taste of the public.

If it is estimated according to the amount of water in one pair of pigs per day, it should not be able to meet the needs of the villagers, but if there are two pairs, I am afraid that there will be leftovers. There is no refrigerator here, and even if she puts things in the space without spoiling, I am afraid that it will arouse suspicion after a long time.

Then a pair of pigs go into the water, and then put some vegetables to marinate together, thinking of the modern variety of marinated restaurants, Shen Qiaoqiao quickly made a decision.

Aunt Xiuhe came to the Shen family soon after explaining the affairs of the family, and according to Shen Qiaoqiao's arrangement, she started to wash the pig and go into the water step by step.

When she saw Shen Qiaoqiao pouring the flour into the basin, she stayed there and didn't move.

It's the first time she's seen someone wash things with flour, and it's all noodles! The distressed Aunt Xiuhe felt that her hands were trembling when she washed the water!

"Yes, wash it at least three times like this before it's clean."

"Three times?!" Aunt Xiuhe exclaimed.

It's not that she thinks it's too troublesome, but she feels distressed. So much flour is enough for her family to eat several meals.

Aunt Xiuhe couldn't help but ask: "Can you just wash it with rice stalks, and let your aunt wash it a few more times?" ”

Seeing Shen Qiaoqiao shaking her head, Aunt Xiuhe said again: "Then replace it with the dregs that feed the pigs?" ”

"Auntie, don't worry about flour, I use multigrain noodles, not pure white noodles, so I don't need much money."

She understands Aunt Xiuhe's kindness, but if she wants to get rid of the fishy smell of pigs in the water, this link is essential. Some things can be saved, but if the taste of the things made is poor, the gains outweigh the losses.

Seeing that Shen Qiaoqiao insisted, Aunt Xiuhe had no choice but to do it, from cleaning to blanching and marinating, Shen Qiaoqiao demonstrated it one by one. She is not afraid that the recipe will leak out, because even if she knows the steps, it is difficult to reproduce the same taste.

First of all, there is the problem of spices, even if the same spice is different, if the ratio is different, the taste will be very different.

The second is the water used for boiling, Shen Qiaoqiao added a little spiritual spring water to it, which is not much, but it enriches the taste of the marinade.

The most important thing is the brand effect, and people always have a soft spot for words such as first and time-honored brand. Shen Qiaoqiao herself is this kind of person, and in her previous life, she always liked to buy some time-honored things, especially mooncakes and cakes.

Considering that she still had to cook some vegetables and the like, Shen Qiaoqiao bought her family's radishes from Aunt Xiuhe for two cents and one catty, and ordered some dried tofu and 1,000 zhang from Mrs. Wang, who sold tofu at the head of the village. These foods are easy to cook and flavorful, so you don't have to boil them for hours like a pig in water.

Shen Qiaoqiao made an appointment with the two of them to ask for the goods the next morning, and Aunt Xiuhe was going to come to her to work in the morning, so she could bring them over by the way. When Mrs. Wang heard that Shen Qiaoqiao had to buy a lot of dried tofu and 1,000 pieces every day, she immediately promised that she would deliver them to her door on time.

With the new goods, Shen Qiaoqiao naturally thought about the price.

One copy of ten texts for meat, one copy for five texts for vegetarians, and one portion for six texts for meat and vegetables.

On the second day, the Shen family's stall opened on time.

In order to reduce the workload, Shen Qiaoqiao said that anyone who prepares his own utensils will be given small portions of vegetarian dishes.

Sure enough, as soon as they heard the news, almost everyone hurried back to get the dishes. The few people who didn't go back were originally worried that they would not have a bowl for their turn, but when they saw that there were vegetarian dishes to deliver, they were very glad for their foresight.

Before noon, the two large pots full of stewed stew had bottomed out.

Today, most of the choices are meat and vegetarian mixtures, one can eat several dishes, the most important thing is cost-effective, that is, you can eat meat without spending more money.

There are almost no people who buy vegetarian dishes alone, and the village chief's family still asks for one meat and vegetarian each, so one vegan is sold.

Compared with the meat dish of ten wen a serving, the price of a vegetarian dish of five wen is unacceptable to many people. You must know that you can buy two or three catties of radishes for five cents, and you can only sell one vegetarian stew here, which is unacceptable to many people.

The choice of the villagers is exactly what Shen Qiaoqiao wants.

After only a few days, the reputation of the Shen family's stew spread to nearby villages, and it was common to see people from other villages rushing to Nanding Village to buy stew.

In this village, after the freshness of the first two days, the number of people who came to her to buy stewed stew has dropped significantly, which is also expected by Shen Qiaoqiao.

After all, no matter how good things are, they won't be eaten every day.
