They went around the town again and bought some mutton again, and when they went to buy it yesterday, there was not much mutton, and it was enough to eat two meals, so they bought some more today.

Qian Yan directly paid for a whole one, the meat was all picked, and it could be eaten for several days when she went back and froze it in the snowdrift.

Sister-in-law Zhang and Zhang Chunhua both wanted to pay, but they didn't rob her.

Qian Yan stopped them and said: "Don't tear me up for this, I really don't lack money, I have to stay with you for a few days, and I will bring my own food expenses." ”

The two looked at her with disapproval, Zhang Chunhua said: "You saved our mother, not to mention that you have been entertained for a few days with delicious food and drink, it is not an exaggeration to treat you as a cow and a horse, your efforts and money don't make us even more unhappy......

Sister-in-law Zhang also nodded, "Yes, although our family is not a rich and noble family, there is still no shortage of food and drink, and it is not a favor anymore, don't we owe more and more if you are like this." ”

Qian Yan waved her hand disapprovingly, "What you owe or not, meeting is fate, I am willing to do this, it is good to get along comfortably, you don't have to be so clear." ”

Seeing this, the two sisters-in-law didn't say anything, but secretly decided that they must repay the opportunity well.

When I got out of town, no one cleared the snow on the road, and I drove the car on the snow, and I obviously felt that the speed without the addition of the sled board was fast, and it was not as smooth, and it seemed that the sled board was still very useful.

After returning to the village, they left the carriage and the children at home, and the three of them went to the next door.

Before the old couple left, they put the key in Zhang Mancang's house, just so that they could help see if they could sell it.

It's just that I didn't say it before, and it's not good to go directly into someone's yard, but now it's been said, just wait for tomorrow to go to the town to get the deed, and it's settled.

They went in to see if there was anything that needed to be repaired and added, and they could get it together when they went to town to-morrow.

The yard of Zhang Gongzi's house is smaller than that of Zhang Mancang's house, with only two caves, and there are also two sheds in the yard, one for firewood and the other for the kitchen in summer.

This courtyard only has a copper lock on the courtyard door, and there is no lock on the cave door, only there is a latch inside.

The three of them went into the two caves and looked at them, and there were only low walls and fire pits left inside, and the furniture and everything had been removed, and they had to be rebuilt.

This is easy to do, just let Zhang Mancang give a few when the time comes, that is, the pot stove has to be bought again.

Fortunately, this yard is cheap, after buying it, Zhang Chunhua still has some left in his hand, he can buy some things or buy some food, and his brother and sister-in-law will help him more, and life should not be bad.

Since there was nothing in the house, there was nothing to clean up, so I swept the snow in the yard and went back.

When I got home, I saw four children having a snowball fight in the yard, each with red cheeks and big snots hanging from the bottom of their noses......

Sister-in-law Zhang and Zhang Chunhua entered the house with two little cubs, and hurriedly boiled hot water to wash them in bubbles, which looked like they were about to suffer from the cold.

Tilt Yan also carried the rich back erection neck into the house, and shook the snow off its body before entering the house.

There was no fire in the house, and the four children who had calmed down were shivering from the cold.

Qian Yan thought about it for a while, and pretended to go to the cave next door, but in fact, she asked Chouchou to get some ginger and brown sugar.

There is cold medicine in the space backpack, but it is not easy for her to take out all the Western medicines, so she can only use this local method to ward off the cold.

Hand the ginger and brown sugar to Sister-in-law Zhang, "Sister-in-law, boil this in water, and drink it to ward off the cold." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang looked at the things in her hand, ginger she knew that when they stewed mutton, they had to put this to remove the smell, and she didn't know what the small black squares were.

Qian Yan said: "This is brown sugar, it is sweet, it can invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, and it will sweat when you drink boiled water with ginger, which can prevent wind and cold." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang listened to it, and said a little embarrassed: "This sugar is a precious thing, and you have broken the bill again." ”

Qian Yan smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, don't be so polite, you see how comfortable I am living in your place, but I don't treat myself as an outsider at all." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, you should be as comfortable as your own family......

With that, he went to the kitchen and got a knife, cut the ginger into shreds and put it in the boiling water along with the brown sugar.

It took a while to boil it before it came out, and the three adults, including the three adults, also drank a bowl of it and went to the cold together.

Zhang Chunhua sighed after drinking a bowl of ginger syrup: "This is really useful, my stomach is hot all over my stomach in this bowl." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang also nodded, "No, my hands are sweaty, and the children are not trembling......"

Qian Yan is a little funny, how can it be so magical, the children are not trembling because the temperature in the house has risen.

It is indeed beneficial for this brown sugar woman to drink more, especially for women who have given birth, there will be some qi stagnation and blood stasis, her mother said, drink more brown sugar water to nourish the body.

There are a lot of ugly brown sugar in this brown sugar space, all of which are made by her parents who planted sugarcane in the fragrant space.

This guy is ugly, as long as it is in the fragrant space, especially what can be eaten, it has a lot of hidden treasures, and it can't be eaten for a while.

It's just that she can't take out too much, after all, her burden is so big, and it's too weird to take out too many things.

Put the remaining ginger syrup into a clay pot, put it by the stove and warm it, and you can continue to drink it after eating.

After brushing the pot, the lamb with bones was stewed in it, which should be stewed for a while, and it can be made in the house to warm the house by the way.

The stove in the house where they lived was not idle, and water was boiled underneath for washing for a while, and mixed noodles steamed buns were steamed on top.

Thinking of lamb ribs and leg of lamb, she felt that it was a pity not to eat them, so she went straight to the kitchen outside.

First, she used the spices she put in the basket to make a cover for the development of a rib and a leg of mutton, and then lit the charcoal, and when all the charcoal was on and there was no smoke, she put the ribs and leg of mutton on top of it and roasted it.

The taste of roast lamb was very domineering, and after a while the four children and the rich were attracted to it.

While giving the meat to the back, she used a dagger to slice the cooked meat on the leg of lamb and fed it one by one.

Sister-in-law Zhang and Zhang Chunhua came over and saw Qian Yan busy working, and there was a row of "little house sparrows" standing next to them with their mouths open waiting to eat

"I said why didn't you come out and didn't go back, it turned out that you had already eaten."

Sister-in-law Zhang looked at the two sons who were eating with oily faces, and said angrily and funny.

Qian Yan put the lamb chops that had been roasted in the clay pot on the side, "This has been roasted, you can also taste it, if it is delicious, you can also roast the rest, and when Brother Mancang comes back in the evening, we will taste it together." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang and Zhang Chunhua tore a rib in their mouths, they had already been hungry when they smelled the domineering fragrance, this barbecue smell was really fragrant.

The barbecue and stew they ate at noon did not cook any other dishes, and the people who ate them were full of oil, and their bodies were warm.

In the afternoon, the remaining lamb chops and two lamb legs were marinated, except for waiting for the evening to be roasted and eaten, one of the legs was ready for Zhang Mancang to take to his master tomorrow to taste.

Tilt Yan also told Sister-in-law Zhang what was in these marinades, she listened to it and smacked her tongue, she didn't expect that there were a lot of medicinal materials in this marinade, Miss Yang is worthy of being from a big family, and she is so particular about eating.

In the evening, Zhang Mancang came back directly with the sleigh he made, but this time he didn't choke as cold as before, wearing gloves that Sister-in-law Zhang made for him overnight, a leather hat on his head, and even a coarse cloth on his face.

So when I came back, it was fine, at least my hands and face weren't frozen.

Even so, Sister-in-law Zhang poured him a big bowl of ginger syrup left over from noon and let him drink it while it was hot.

After drinking, he also called out that his whole body was warm, and after a while, he actually sweated, and asked what it was, a little spicy and sweet.

Sister-in-law Zhang told him that it was ginger and brown sugar, and Zhang Mancang remembered it in his heart, thinking that he would have to prepare some of these things at home in the future, especially in winter.

There is also some for the master to prepare for him, and the old man is alone in the carpenter's shop, and he is sometimes very uneasy.

Last winter, Master suffered from a cold and drank a lot of decoctions for more than a month before he recovered, and since then he feels that his body is not as good as before, and his hands and feet are often cold.

After that, Master will only get older and older, and he will have to pay more attention in the future.

When it was time to eat in the evening, I ate grilled lamb chops and roast lamb legs again, and I also knew that there was a leg of lamb specially set aside for the master, and I felt that it was very ironing.

Then while eating, he praised the taste of this barbecue, and if he opened a shop in a big city to sell this, he would probably make a lot of money.

Sister-in-law Zhang and Zhang Chunhua's eyes lit up when they heard this, this is really okay.

Miss Yang had already told them the recipe for the seasoning, and they would definitely be reluctant to buy so many medicinal herbs to make the seasoning when they ate it themselves, but if it was used for business, it would be different.

It's just that this recipe belongs to Miss Yang, and they can't just use it, they still have to say hello.

After eating, Sister-in-law Zhang opened her mouth and told Tilt Yan about it, they wanted to use this recipe to do business, and if they really made money, they could share it with Tilt Yan.

Qian Yan shook her head and refused: "You can just use it, this is not a secret recipe, most big families will make it, and I also learned it from a relative's cook." ”

She really didn't tell a lie, the barbecue ingredients she uses now are not brought by later generations, and they have long been used up.

After that, she bought the seasoning herself and the sauce was not very delicious, which she learned from Xue Huan'er's back kitchen, once she ate barbecue and found that the marinade prepared by her chef was delicious, so she asked, but she didn't expect the other party to tell her directly.

It is said that the kitchen of the big family over there is basically a lot of food, but a few more things are added to it, and it is not a very unusual recipe.

It's just that this kind of small place is not sold, and they haven't eaten it in Zhang Mancang, so they feel very different.

When she heard that they were going to open a shop, she suggested: "If you want to sell this roast mutton in the town, it is estimated that the price cannot be set too high, or ordinary people may not be able to afford it."

Of course, this market town is next to the official road, and there are many people coming and going, so the business should not be too bad, at least it is close to home, and it is more convenient.

In fact, it is best to be in a big city such as a county seat, where there are many rich people, and the price can be higher, and then open a big shop when you have money. ”

Zhang Chunhua and Zhang's sister-in-law shook their heads again and again after hearing this, "The county seat is too far away, we don't dare to go if we are not familiar with the place, and it is not good to be too far away from home, just the plain county is the closest county seat from here, and it will be dozens of miles, if you go there to do business, you can't go back and forth in a day, you definitely can't go home every day, what should the children do?" So it's better to be in town and take care of the family. ”

Qian Yan thinks about it, after all, they all have children, and they really can't run too far.

Since it is in the town, the price cannot be set too high, so it can only save on the cost.

Dump Yan cut out some of the rarer and more expensive spices for them, and tried to replace them with some ones that tasted similar and cheap.

The quality and technique of the barbecue itself are also very important, and sometimes if the meat is fresh and the heat is moderate, the seasoning is not so indispensable.

Just like the black goats they roast in the fragrant space, they only put salt cumin powder and chili powder, and the roasted taste is still very delicious, or even more original.

So she cut down on the seasoning, and went to buy it tomorrow and let them try the taste first, and if she could, the cost could be lower.

He also told them not only to grill meat, but also to roast some other things, such as baked cakes and vegetables, such as mushrooms, potatoes, eggplants, peppers, etc.

However, seeing that they were at a loss when they heard the eggplant potato, Qian Yan thought that this place was either not there or it was not called this name.

So I described two things, there are really no eggplants, but there are already beans, this side is not called potatoes, it is called artichoke, it is from the Western Regions, it seems that it has only been transmitted to this side now, and the Central Plains has not been passed over.

They don't grow a lot here, especially in the early years, after someone ate bad potatoes and died, everyone didn't dare to eat them anymore for fear of being poisoned.

Dumping Yan gave them a science popularization by the way, the artichoke is not edible after it is bad and sprouts, and it will be poisonous if it sprouts and spoils a little, so try to eat fresh.

And this thing grows faster and has a high yield in sandy soil, so she doesn't know exactly how to grow it.

She really doesn't know much about these things, at most it's just some theoretical knowledge that she hears.

But even so, a few people listened very carefully, they didn't expect that the lump that can eat the dead has such a high yield, and there are so many ways to eat it, you can make it and try it when you look for it in the future.

Later, they discussed what kind of shop to rent, and after knowing the approximate rent from Zhang Mancang's mouth, Zhang Chunhua and Zhang's sister-in-law felt that the shop could not be rented first, so they would build a charcoal stove in front of the carpenter's shop, and bake it to sell it first.
