Chapter 12 New Dishes
Not long after, the smell of the back kitchen has already reached the front. The shopkeeper asked the guy to ask, but the guy didn't come back for half a day.
The shopkeeper ran in, almost confused by the smell of fish.
finally stabilized his mind, and saw his own two chefs and a man, and Mrs. Chen Xiaonian squatting on the ground, looking at the bamboo tubes roasted on the charcoal fire.
"It's so fragrant, what's here?"
The shopkeeper swallowed a mouthful, and felt greedy just by smelling the taste.
Several people didn't speak, and they all looked at Chen Xiaonian.
She calculated the time, it should be able to eat, and asked Erlang to take off the bamboo tube with tongs.
Knock open the sealed yellow mud, and then break the bamboo tube, and the fragrance will be fragrant.
"It smells so good!"
Several people stared at the two fish, licking their lips. Although Erlang didn't speak, he actually swallowed secretly.
The shopkeeper was surprised: "These are the two fish just now?" ”
Chen Xiaonian didn't speak, but just took the chopsticks, put a piece of fish meat in a small plate, and handed it to the shopkeeper. "The shopkeeper's taste."
As soon as I tasted this mouthful, the shopkeeper's face suddenly seemed to bloom, and his whole face brightened.
"This recipe, I bought it, I bought it!"
Anyway, I want to try it with my own two cooks. The guy was hungry for a long time, and he also went to get chopsticks and tasted them.
Erlang stood by and watched until someone pushed him, he looked down and saw that it was Chen Xiaonian.
Chen Xiaonian held the chopsticks, and put a small piece of fish meat on her head, her eyes were clear and bright, and there was a shallow smile on her lips, "Taste it." ”
As if he was stunned, he tasted it with chopsticks, and it really tasted excellent.
She smiled, "We'll grab two more in a while, and go back and bake them ourselves." ”
Jiro laughed too.
Seeing that the shopkeeper never came out, some diners came to the back kitchen and smelled the fragrance, so they had to eat this.
Just now, the cook looked down on people, and didn't pay attention to how she did it, but now he looked at the materials and thought about letting her do it again.
Chen Xiaonian is also generous, from techniques to materials, everything is carefully taught to them. The shopkeeper smiled and gave five taels of silver, which was regarded as buying a recipe.
"Look, shopkeeper, you tasted it just now, isn't it bad? This fish just smells fragrant, and someone orders it, and your business will be bad in the future? Don't worry, I will definitely come back after researching new dishes in the future, and when the time comes, I will only sell you one. ”
Chen Xiaonian talked about the price with some kind words, and finally sold it for seven taels of silver.
The shopkeeper was so happy that he even included all the small fish in the bamboo baskets, and gave one or two.
Today, I made eight taels of silver.
Leaving the restaurant, Chen Xiaonian went to make up for some daily necessities that he didn't have at home, bought some vegetable seedlings and seeds by the way, and finally wanted to buy another set of clothes for Erlang.
Almost at the door of the ready-to-wear store, Jiro pulled her and shook his head.
"You've been working these days, you have to change your clothes, right?"
After entering, I asked the price, and I thought it was too expensive. dragged Erlang away, came to the house where he bought clothes yesterday, and bought a coarse cloth dress for Erlang.
When I came, I saw a meatloaf shop in front of me, and it smelled fragrant. Chen Xiaonian pulled him over, the boss wanted to collect the stall and go home, and there were still four left in the pot. You can also bargain about buying clothes, and the boss of this meatloaf has nothing to say.
She asked for four, and it cost another twenty wen.
She kept one for herself, one for the Wang family, and the other two for Erlang.
Erlang was indeed hungry, and he couldn't eat one in three or two bites. The last one was left, but it was handed to Chen Xiaonian.
Chen Xiaonian's heart warmed.
This man, although he can't speak, knows that he feels distressed.
"Girl." The boss looked at the two of them and smiled, "I didn't notice just now, there is still one left." I'm going to close the stall and go home, so I'll give it to you. ”
Chen Xiaonian was a little embarrassed, thinking about giving a few more money, the boss was good, and he didn't ask for much except for the twenty yuan.
When the boss walked away, she snickered and said to Erlang, "It's good luck today." ”
On the way back, the two went to the creek and put on a few fish, and took them home together.
Wang was still turning over the dried willow buds in the yard, Chen Xiaonian handed her the meatloaf, Wang took a bite, and licked his mouth fragrantly.
Then he read it again, "How expensive this thing is, it's the same to eat at home." ”
Seeing that Erlang was still carrying two fish in his hand, Wang subconsciously looked out of the door.
Chen Xiaonian handed the remaining fifty taels and forty pieces of silver to the Wang family today, "Mother, this is the money from selling fish today, you see who the village owes, go and pay it back." ”
Wang was taken aback, "Sell fish? Five taels more? ”
She urged, "Go and pay it back." ”
Wang's eyes were red, and he nodded again and again, "Eh, I'll pay it back." ”
Thinking of Erlang, Chen Xiaonian raised to look, and happened to bump into those deep eyes.
For some reason, she was suffocated, pointed to the remaining bamboo tubes on the ground and said, "You wash these, dry the water heads, and we will make bamboo tube fish to eat in a while." ”
It took a while for the Wang family to come back, but she was always sighing and sighing, but she couldn't stop smiling today, happier than the day her daughter got married.
Smelling the smell in the kitchen, Wang came in and saw three bamboo tubes thrown on the fire.
"What is this?"
Chen Xiaonian replied to the question, "Have you paid back all the money?" ”
Wang nodded, "It's back." ”
She counted with her fingers, "Now there are only four taels of silver from Erhu's family in the village." ”
Chen Xiaonian just breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly remembered and asked, "What about the town?" ”
Sure enough, the smile on Wang's face froze there, and after a while, he waved his hand and said, "I have already said hello when I borrowed money over there, don't worry, don't worry." ”
Seeing that she still wanted to ask, Wang suddenly said: "Cui Tao is going to get married." ”
Chen Xiaonian's heart was shocked, "Married?" ”
"Marry Chen Xiangwen."
Wang sighed, "This matter is already disgraceful, and it hasn't been such a fuss since her mother." The patriarch was in charge and let Chen Xiangwen marry Cui Tao. ”
Speaking of Chen Xiangwen, Chen Xiaonian frowned.
"Cui Tao is also a good girl, marrying Chen Xiangwen is simply a waste."
"Besides him, who else can Cui Tao marry? You can't be an old girl for the rest of your life. ”
Thinking that his son-in-law was honest and reliable, Wang was relieved: "It's better to be Erlang, he's ......."
I only heard a commotion in the courtyard, which shook the stove and the room.
Chen Xiaonian and Wang ran out to take a look, only to see that the house that had collapsed half earlier had collapsed.
It's a dry day, how did a good house collapse.
Cough!
Hearing someone coughing, but no one was visible, Wang was still puzzled, and Chen Xiaonian had already rushed over, rummaging for something in the ruins.
Seeing that the Wang family was still at the door, Chen Xiaonian hurriedly shouted: "Come here, Erlang is down!" ”
Wang was so frightened that his soul scattered, and the mother and daughter dug up in the rubble.
Sensing that someone had been pulling him, Chen Xiaonian was anxious, and there was crying in his voice.
"Mother, don't pull me, save people!"
There seemed to be a soft sigh in his ear, and then he was grabbed by the shoulders and forced to turn his head.
Seeing the person in front of him clearly, Chen Xiaonian was stunned.
It's Jiro.
