Because of this fog, the mountain road, which could have been completed in half an hour, walked for more than two hours, and it was almost dark when they returned home.

Aunt Zhao, who had been waiting at the door, was full of anxiety, and as soon as she saw the figures of the two, she immediately greeted them.

"Where the hell did you two go, why did you go for so long and you didn't say hello?"

"Don't mention it." Zhao Hong sighed depressedly, "We went into the mountains to catch the bamboo rat, but the bamboo rat didn't catch it and almost didn't come back." ”

"During this time, the mountain is very foggy, and there are any bamboo rats there." Second Aunt Zhao glared at Zhao Hong with disgust, but her tone softened a lot.

"It's good to come back, let's go in and rest."

"Second aunt, hasn't the second uncle come back yet?" Yun Xiaoshuang glanced at the room and asked.

"Not yet, he went to the city today, and he should be back soon." Second Aunt Zhao explained, "Some of the building materials needed to build a house are not available in the village, so I can only go to the city to buy them. ”

"Today, Mocheng also entered the city with him."

Yun Xiaoshuang was stunned, no wonder Zhao Mocheng disappeared when he got up early in the morning.

"You two must be hungry, go in and sit down for a while and I'll start cooking."

"Second aunt, go and rest, I'll cook tonight."

After speaking, Yun Xiaoshuang walked straight into the kitchen and began to prepare the materials.

There is a piece of fresh beef on the stove, I think it should be Aunt Zhao went to the market to buy it back today, beef is not easy to buy, cattle can be cultivated when they come out, and goods can be transported, resulting in people here are reluctant to eat beef, except for the sick and dead cattle, basically rarely can eat beef.

Yun Xiaoshuang decided to marinate it with the pig water she got back yesterday.

The soup base is made first, and then spices such as star anise, bay leaves, and tangerine peel are added to it, and after the water boils, a rich fragrance wafts out of the pot quickly.

When Yun Xiaoshuang was about to put the water and beef into the pot together, the corner of her eyes suddenly fell on the shelf in the courtyard outside, which was the herb she and Zhao Hong picked back a few days ago.

A flash of inspiration flashed through her mind.

If you add a few herbs to the braised pork, it may also have a certain medicinal effect.

Thinking of this, Yun Xiaoshuang immediately rushed to the courtyard and carefully selected a few medicinal herbs.

Licorice can clear away heat and detoxify, dispel cough and relieve phlegm, sand kernels can warm the stomach, remove stomach cold and stomach distention, and yellow gardenia can also treat aphthous ulcers.

It is not a valuable medicinal material, and it has little effect on the taste after adding the marinade, so Yun Xiaoshuang added it all in one go.

Soon, the aroma of herbs filled the boiling marinade, and she put the water in with the beef.

Taking advantage of the effort of boiling the brine, Yun Xiaoshuang made another sweet and sour pork ribs, cut the pork ribs into small pieces and put them in the pot, and boiled them together with green onion and ginger and cooking wine.

After boiling, pour it out and let it cool, then restart the pot to heat the oil, add ginger slices, rock sugar and stir-fry with the pork ribs, fry until it changes color, then add the prepared secret sauce, and then add water until the water does not pass the ribs, and then cook over a hot fire.

When the water is about to boil dry, add a little sweet potato flour to reduce the juice, and then a sweet and sour pork ribs with full color and flavor are ready.

And the braised meat on the other side is almost the same, as soon as Yun Xiaoshuang lifts the lid of the pot, a smell of braised meat comes to his nose, and this time there is a faint fragrance of herbs in it.

After taking out the braised pork and letting it cool, slice it and put it on a plate, Yun Xiaoshuang quickly fried two side dishes, and dinner was ready.

And during the time she was cooking, Second Uncle Zhao and Zhao Mocheng also came back.

Just now, everyone felt salivating when they smelled the fragrance wafting from the kitchen, and at this moment, as soon as the food was served, everyone quickly began to feast.

"I didn't expect the ribs to be able to do this, it's so delicious." Zhao Hong spit out a bone, his face full of joy.

"If you like it, I can make it for you often."

Yun Xiaoshuang said with a smile, if it weren't for the limited ingredients here, she could have made more delicious things.

"My sister-in-law is the best for me." Zhao Hong smiled very brightly, and picked up a piece of pork ribs with chopsticks and put it into the bowl.

"Is there something wrong with this braised pork?" Zhao Mocheng sandwiched a piece of beef and put it in his mouth to savor it, "Compared with the past, it seems to have some other flavors." ”

"That's right, this time I added a few herbs to the marinade, so that this lo-mei can barely be counted as a medicinal meal."

Saying that, Yun Xiaoshuang also took a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, the taste was better than she imagined, the taste of the braised meat did not change, but there was a trace of herbs in the meat.

After Second Uncle Zhao and Second Aunt Zhao tasted it, they also praised it again and again, and it didn't take long for a large table of dishes to see the bottom.

After dinner, Second Uncle Zhao handed over the title deed to Yun Xiaoshuang, and it cost a total of forty taels of silver to buy the land plus the bricks and tiles he bought in the city today.

All preparations are in place and the ground can begin as soon as the wheat harvest is over.

Spring blossoms and autumn fruits, sowing seeds in spring and harvesting in autumn, this is probably the most joyful season for the villagers of Yungou Village in all seasons of the year.

When the golden ears of wheat ripen just right, it is the best time to harvest, and the villagers cut the wheat and take it home to dry, and after drying, the wheat kernels can be sold directly for money, and the straw left behind can be used to make firewood.

The Zhao family's house also started construction during this time, Second Uncle Zhao was responsible for supervising the whole process, Second Aunt Zhao was responsible for the food of the workers, Zhao Mocheng was responsible for finance, and all the expenses during the building period were handled by him.

Yun Xiaoshuang and Zhao Hong continued to be busy with their previous business, but they would occasionally go over there to have a look, and none of the family members were idle.

On this day, Yun Xiaoshuang came back from the tidal flats, and happened to bump into Aunt Zhao preparing lunch for the workers, and hurriedly went into the kitchen to help her.

"Second aunt, I'm going to ask a few people to help you." Yun Xiaoshuang said while helping Second Aunt Zhao chop vegetables, "Otherwise, your body will be tired sooner or later." ”

"No, no, it's just a few dishes, I'm busy."

Second Aunt Zhao wiped the sweat on her face, and the spatula in her hand kept flipping.

During this time, in order to prepare the lunch of more than a dozen workers, Aunt Zhao had to go to the market to buy vegetables at dawn every day, and it was not early after buying.

In order not to delay the workers' lunch meal, she could hardly stop for a moment, so that she could prepare the meal and deliver it before noon.

"Second aunt, you don't have to be reckless, I have already agreed with the Qian family today to let her bring a few people over to help you, starting tomorrow."

Yun Xiaoshuang's tone was tough, and Second Aunt Zhao couldn't resist her, so she could only accept it with a grateful smile.

Early the next morning, Qian really brought her little sisters to Zhao's house, and Yun Xiaoshuang told her in advance that everyone would pay twenty literary wages a day, and they would settle together after they were done.

It's just that Yun Xiaoshuang didn't expect the Wang family to be among them, this mother-in-law is a famous long-tongued woman in the village, and the Wang family fanned the flames in the matter between her and Li Qingyuan before. Seeing her, Yun Xiaoshuang frowned unconsciously, and kept an eye on it.

After arranging the workers' lunch, Yun Xiaoshuang completely began to get busy with her own affairs.

The crayfish in the tidal flats need her to go over from time to time to see, and the fungi in the greenhouse have to be sent to the shopkeeper Song immediately after they are ripe and picked, and she has to develop new dishes for Zuixianlou, so she is so busy that she has no skills.

However, during this time, the relationship between Yun Xiaoshuang and Murong Ye has also become familiar with each other, if the two were allies with interests before, now they are more like friends.

This is not Murong Ye calculated that Yun Xiaoshuang would come to deliver new dishes today, so he waited in the Drunken Immortal Building early, and as soon as Yun Xiaoshuang and Zhao Hong entered the door, he immediately greeted them.

"Miss Frost, you're here."

"Is there something wrong with the shopkeeper Murong being so anxious?"

Yun Xiaoshuang was a little surprised, she was just a little late, Murong Ye was in such a hurry?

"I do have something to discuss with you."

Immediately, Murong Ye informed Yu Yun Xiaoshuang of his thoughts, since the drunken immortal buildings in Lizhou City began to sell brine water, business suddenly improved a lot, not only increased in popularity but also gradually spread their reputation, and even the drunken immortal buildings in other places were also affected, and they began to sell brine water.

However, because this marinated water seasoning is Yun Xiaoshuang's exclusive secret recipe, it is naturally not so easy for the drunken immortal buildings in other places to make it.

They had always taken the brine from the Zuixian Building in Lizhou City before, but in this way, not only would the brine be lost in the transportation process, but the manpower and material resources spent for a long time would also be a huge expense.

"Miss Xiaoshuang, don't worry, as long as you are willing to sell the recipe for marinade, I will definitely give you a price that you are satisfied with."

Murong Ye looked sincere, and directly took out the killer weapon, after this period of getting along, he had already figured out Yun Xiaoshuang's temperament.

"Not only that, but I can also give Miss Xiaoshuang a percentage of the profits of the Drunken Immortal Building."

"Ichisei?"

"That's right, and it's a year's income from all the drunken immortal buildings in Tianshuo Kingdom."

Yun Xiaoshuang's expression almost got out of control, although it was only a profit, but the daily flow of the Drunken Immortal Building was not a small amount, and this was all the Drunken Immortal Buildings in Tianshuo Kingdom!

It's pie in the sky!

This is a huge amount of money that can grow steadily and continuously, and Yun Xiaoshuang is naturally very excited.

"I can sell the formula to Drunken Immortal Building, but you must ensure that you can't sell the formula again, let alone spread it."

"It's nature."

Seeing that Yun Xiaoshuang agreed to Murong Ye, he was very happy, no matter what she asked at this moment, he would definitely agree.

The two immediately signed an agreement, and at the same time, Murong Ye also invited Yun Xiaoshuang to go to the Drunken Immortal Mansion in the county seat three days later to give some guidance, and then the chefs of the Drunken Immortal Mansion from other parts of the country would also gather there.
