Chapter 16 Zhang Ying'an

She raised a shy smile and suddenly said to Zhou Changhe, "Brother Changhe, can I trouble you to take me to the town tomorrow?" I want to go to the town to sell ginseng and buy medicine for the villagers. ”

As for Zhou Changhe, who was named, he naturally nodded with red cheeks. "Okay, okay."

After eating snacks, Mu Xiwen went to Daqingshan again, and this time she picked more gardenia petals.

As she was about to descend the mountain, she turned and looked around, her suspicions growing deeper and deeper.

If Wang Peiyun hadn't gone deep into the depths of Daqing Mountain, then where did her ginseng come from?

Thinking about the result, she put the matter aside for the time being and started to cook food seriously.

In addition to the crispy fried gardenias, she is also going to make a cold gardenia and return the fat sheep boy a tael of silver. When preparing the condiments, she deeply felt that Dawei was backward in terms of food culture.

"Do you think the author of the original book is anorexic? Doesn't she have anything to write about the 5,000-year-old food culture in China? Dawei doesn't have staple foods such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, even monosodium glutamate, sesame oil, and chili peppers. She was mixing gardenias and complaining to 444.

A cold gardenia salad was quickly ready, and she set it aside and made up a delicacy called gardenia preserves. It's a pity that the sugar of the Great Wei Dynasty is mostly starch sugar, and the effect has weakened a lot.

The petals are first rubbed with salt, then washed and drained, and then the molten sugar water is added in a ratio of 1:2 between the petals and the sugar, and then it is placed in a sealed jar and marinated for three days.

Mu Xiwen patted the jar gently, as if she saw another tael of silver flying towards her.

The next day, she got up early again, and this time she came to help, and Mu Xing'er, who was thirteen years old in the second room.

Mu Xiwen carefully told her: "You learn from Sister Awen today, maybe I won't go to the town in the future, and I will give you and your brother the sales work, do it well, and you can get a share of it." ”

Mu Xing'er blushed and nodded fiercely, her brother envied her to death for the more than 100 yuan she brought back yesterday. After knowing that Mu Xiwen still needed manpower, her mother Zhou immediately recommended her. Originally, she thought that she was young and a girl, Sister Awen didn't want her, but she didn't expect Sister Awen to accept it!

Thinking that she would be able to earn fifty yuan every day in the future, she was so beautiful that she couldn't help grinning.

After waiting at the head of the village for a while, Wang Peiyun and another man finally arrived late.

Mu Xiwen glanced at it. This should be Wang Peiyun's brother mentioned in the book, the future champion Wang Zhongxian. He looks like a human and a dog.

"I'm sorry, my brother knows that I'm going to town today, and he doesn't worry about me, so he insists on accompanying me." As soon as he arrived, Wang Peiyun immediately apologized apologetically, which made the grievances that rose in Zhou Changhe's heart suddenly disappear.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Because there were so many people, only three girls got into the ox cart in the end, and the other three men got out of the cart and walked.

Mu Xiwen noticed that Wang Zhongxian's face was not very good-looking, but Wang Peiyun pulled his sleeve and lied coquettishly, so he quickly compromised.

"It's worthy of being a group pet little lucky star." She sighed in her heart.

Wang Peiyun, who was sitting upright, suddenly shrugged his nose, blinked his eyes and asked, "Brother Fuyang, what are you going to sell?" It smells so good. ”

Looking at Wang Peiyun's soft appearance, Mu Fuyang's face turned red, and he said in a whisper: "Just, just make some snacks." ”

Wang Peiyun was obviously dissatisfied with this answer, but seeing that the other party didn't mean it explicitly, he lowered his eyes and stopped asking.

Wang Zhongxian, who was next to him, glanced at Mu Fuyang with a little disdain, and reached out to fish out a boiled egg. "Sister, eat eggs."

Hurried all the way, and when I arrived in Anyang County, the sun was already hanging high.

Everyone divided their ways at the gate of the county seat, Wang Peiyun and Wang Zhongxian went to the pharmacy to sell ginseng, and Mu Xiwen and the others went to Dongjie.

From a distance, Mu Xiwen saw the little fat man yesterday, and today he changed into a water-blue brocade robe.

As soon as he got closer, the little fat man pouted and complained: "Why are you so late today, I thought you wouldn't come." ”

Mu Xiwen is as good as flowing: "I'm sorry, I was delayed for a while." How about a new dish of food as compensation? ”

This delicacy was clearly said by the two yesterday, and the little fat man also paid a tael of silver for it, but at this time, Mu Xiwen changed his speech and used it to apologize.

It's a pity that the "bitter master" didn't notice anything wrong at all, but said happily: "Let me see!" ”

Mu Xiwen lifted the basket and took out a clay pot from it, and as soon as the clay pot was opened, a fragrance wafted out.

The little fat man couldn't wait to pick up a piece and taste it, it was smooth, refreshing, and cool, he shook his head and said, "I really didn't expect this gardenia to become a delicacy in the world." ”

Mu Xiwen winked at him, "Not only that, but it can also be used to scrambled eggs, make porridge, make tea, make wine, and make desserts." The kid is researching how to make desserts out of gardenias, is the boy willing to be the first to taste it? ”

"Of course!" The little fat man's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands excitedly, and hurriedly took out two taels of silver, "You said that this gardenia can also make wine?" Ben Gongzi hasn't drunk this kind of wine yet, so I'll taste it. But ......," he said, he swept the clay pot in Mu Xiwen's hand with disgust, "Do you want to use this black stoneware pot to hold fine wine?" ”

"This, the kid's family ......is poor," Mu Xiwen couldn't continue, because the little fat man looked at Mu Xiwen's eyes full of accusations.

"Whatever the taste, it's just a new wine that has never been seen before, and it's worth serving in bronze."

"Bronze?" Mu Xiwen was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, the Great Wei Dynasty respected bronze, although iron tools have appeared and are widely used, but in the eyes of the upper nobles, bronze is a symbol of strength, power, and status.

As long as there is a little money in the family, almost all of them will have bronze utensils to hold wine.

But...... Drinking a lot of alcohol with bronze utensils can cause lead poisoning!

Well? Lead poisoning? Mu Xiwen vaguely remembered something, but before she could catch this aura, the voice of the little fat man interrupted her thoughts.

"By the way, my name is Zhang Ying'an, my home is on East Street, Zhang's Mansion, do you see it, that house is. It's not very convenient for me to go out tomorrow, so you will develop new dishes in the future and come directly to the house, just say that you can find Ying'an Gongzi. ”

Mu Xiwen looked at Zhang Ying'an's hand, and a very magnificent mansion came into view. Wow, she swallowed her saliva, she was really a big fat sheep.

On the other side, Wang Peiyun and Wang Zhongxian walked into Guang'an Hall, the largest pharmacy in the town, and as soon as the two stepped in, the owner greeted them warmly.

"Miss Peiyun, I said why the magpie kept barking this morning, it turned out that you were here."
