Chapter 65: I just won't tell you
She put some of the hard ones in and boiled them first, and then picked up the meat and put it inside.
"It takes ten breaths to put the meat in before you can eat it, the cabbage and radish can be eaten as soon as it is soft, and the rest can be eaten after boiling for a while, everyone is welcome, the meat tube is open enough to eat, don't save me."
While she put meat in it and taught the children, the shopkeeper Lu picked up a chopstick of meat, dipped the sauce in the bowl and put it in his mouth.
"Well, this meat is very tender, this sauce is really fragrant, and the taste is better than that of Jingtai Restaurant."
Yuan Jiaqi was close to the children, sandwiched vegetables and meat in the children's bowls, tasted it himself, and then looked at Qiao Mai deeply.
Mutton is easy to buy, beef is not easy to buy, I didn't expect Qiao Niangzi to be able to buy it.
And the mutton slices and beef slices are actually cut so thinly, this knife skill is amazing. (This is the machine that cuts the slices, what a knife gets, a fart knife)
It seems that she has been preparing this pot for a long time.
It's just these things, where did she get them? The Yuan family ate quietly.
Oh my God, when these ingredients are cooked, they are not too delicious with this sauce.
Everyone stopped talking, and ate with the contents of the pot in their mouths, without stopping.
Eat as much as you want, Shopkeeper Lu said with satisfaction:
"This is the best hot pot I've ever eaten in my life, what is it?"
"Duck blood,"
"Duck's blood?"
"Yes, only duck blood can make it so smooth." Shopkeeper Lu suddenly felt like vomiting.
"Can this still make something so delicious?"
"Yes, pig blood, chicken blood, and sheep blood are all okay."
"How did you come up with that?"
"Just a few days ago, I didn't have anything to figure it out."
"And what is this?"
"Wide flour, made with sweet potatoes."
"You made it all up?"
"yes"
"What about this?"
"Eat it or not, if it's delicious, you can eat more, ask this and that, I made it, I just don't tell you how to get it, eat it, it's gone for a while."
"Hey, hey."
There are a lot of things that these people haven't seen, but they are nervous, as long as they are delicious, there is no need to ask so much about the origin of the ingredients.
This is also this group of people, if Mayor Qian comes to eat this pot, he will definitely be able to eat a few recipes.
Duck blood and wide powder alone are two good recipes.
No one here uses sweet potatoes to make flour, no one makes flour skin and vermicelli, these are all business opportunities.
Don't be in a hurry, you can't eat a big fat man in one bite, take your time.
Just as he was eating hot, Qiao Mai suddenly stood up, "You eat first, I'll go cut a few plates of mutton." ”
As she spoke, she walked out, and when she came to the door, her figure paused, as if she heard a voice at the gate of the courtyard, so she walked over.
At this time, her mind was already in the space, wrapping Ling'er thickly, tightly encircling her, and only revealing a pair of eyes.
At this time, Ling'er was asleep, and immediately moved out of the space after dressing her.
Because it was too tight, the change in temperature did not affect her sleep.
She hurriedly looked left and right to see if there was anyone, and for the sake of realism, she dipped the swaddling clothes on the snow, and then turned around and ran into the house with Ling'er in her arms, yelling at everyone.
"Look, I've picked up a kid and someone left him on my doorstep."
Eleven people, who stood up and didn't eat anymore, hurriedly gathered around to see.
"Oh my God, who was so ruthless on this snowy day and threw the child at your door?"
Qiao Mai shook his head, "I heard a sound at the gate of the courtyard, so I hurriedly ran over to look, and almost stepped on her when I went out." ”
"Don't see anyone else?"
"No, there seem to be a few footprints on the ground,"
Shopkeeper Lu gritted his back molars and said hatefully, "This is to find out that you have a good heart, so I will throw the child to you to raise?" ”
"I don't know, alas, this quilt and clothes don't seem to be a bad person, why did they throw the child away?"
"Go, go, go to your bedroom and see if she's male or female?"
Shopkeeper Lu asked the others to continue eating, and she and Qiao Mai went to the bedroom and opened the swaddling clothes to take a look.
"It's strange that I have to ask for it, it turned out to be a girl."
"It's weirdly good-looking."
"It's really ruthless, what are you going to do if you throw it at your doorstep?"
"If you pick it up, you can raise it, what can I do, it just so happens that there are more men and fewer women in my family, the proportion is out of proportion, and there are multiple female babies, how good is it for the male babies in the family to hurt her?"
"Add another mouthful, and your burden will be heavy again."
"It's not heavy, it's just one more bite of food, I have an income of a few hundred taels a month, not worse than her."
"You, your heart is so kind, you picked it up, you decide."
Shopkeeper Lu watched her raise a bunch of children, so he worried for her, if she didn't know that she had money in her hands and the ability to make money, she really didn't want Qiao Mai to raise this child.
Qiao Mai laid out the futon on the kang, removed Ling'er from the swaddling clothes, took off her coat and put her in the bed.
"Look at what this kid looks like at eight or nine months, right?"
"Well, eight or nine months ago, I seemed to have just been born prematurely, this child may be related to me, my child is also a girl, I didn't have time to see the world, just..."
Shopkeeper Lu saw that her eyes were red and sighed.
"Don't be sad, maybe she's your child, you just keep her as her."
"Hmm!"
Qiao Mai sniffled and shed a tear.
"Let's go, eat first, after eating, let's go to the hospital and let the doctor see if there is anything wrong with her, if not, I will accompany you to find Mayor Qian and get a household registration for her in your name."
"Is that okay?"
"What's not to do, and no one wants it,"
"Why don't you wait a few days? See if anyone is looking for their child? ”
"That's fine, after dinner, I'll ask the mayor to see if there are any lost children in the town."
"Uh-huh."
The two quietly exited the house, locked the door from the outside, and returned to the living room.
"Male and female babies?" Everyone asked in unison
"Girl."
"Great, our family lacks a girl, and we will be brothers."
"In a few days, if no one comes to me, I will adopt her, and she will be your sister in the future, you have to love her, you can't bully her, you know?"
"I know my mother, it's great, it's great, we have a sister in our family."
The three children in the family were very excited, and the Yuan family glanced at Qiao Mai thoughtfully.
"Did you really decide to adopt her?"
"Naturally, we have a lot of masters and few girls, it's nothing more than an extra mouth, and I can still afford it."
"Well, you are the head of the family, you decide, I think she is still so young, I am a man, it seems a little inconvenient to take a female baby?"
"Don't worry, I won't go out of the stall these days to see if anyone is looking for the child, and if there is no one, it will not be too late for me to adopt her."
"Okay."
Before finishing eating, Qiao Mai heard the cry of a child in the bedroom, and hurriedly ran over to take a look, Ling'er was sitting on the kang and crying.
Maybe it was because of a change of environment, she cried like this when she looked at the stranger, and she rarely cried before.
When Qiao Mai came to the kang, Ling'er immediately stopped crying when she saw that it was her mother, and then begged for a hug with both hands.
Qiao Mai put on her coat, took a handful of urine, then changed a diaper, covered her with a small quilt, and carried her to the living room.
Everyone's eyes looked at Ling'er in unison, and after Qiao Mai lifted the quilt, Ling'er looked at everyone with wide eyes.
Suddenly turned around, buried his head in Qiao Mai's neck, looking a little scared and a little shy.
"Hungry?"
When Ling'er heard this, she was busy opening her mouth to eat, and Qiao Mai handed her to the shopkeeper Lu.
"I'll give her a steamed egg custard, and you can hold it for me for a while."
After Ling'er handed it over to the shopkeeper Lu, she looked at this and that curiously, and everyone smiled at her to express goodwill.
This one touched her little hand, that one touched her little hand, she was ashamed to lean on the shoulder of the shopkeeper Lu and kept spitting bubbles, and the happy shopkeeper Lu kissed her little face several times.
