After Su Kunsheng left, Li Xiaojun thought that he would really be able to eat immediately, and after urging once, he found that the duck meat had not yet been cooked, so he returned to the show floor and took off all the clothes on his body, and fell asleep as soon as he lay on the bed. When she woke up again, Aunt Zhou had already made dinner, and she finally ate the first meat she came to this world - stewed duck soup.

After drinking two large bowls in one go, and eating another bowl of duck meat, she finally had the energy to find fault with the duck soup, "Before stewing the duck, you should burn the feathers to remove the smell, put some sauerkraut when stewing, and add some chicken essence and oyster sauce to enhance the freshness when cooked......

As the favorite place to eat duck meat in China, Li Xiaojun did not like the duck meat made by Nanjing chefs in his previous life or in this life, the reason is very simple, that is, he hates the fishy smell, the salted duck has a hairy smell, the duck blood vermicelli has a bloody smell, only the roast duck is slightly better, but it still can't be enjoyed by the sour radish and duck soup in Sichuan.

Aunt Zhou heard her complain that the duck soup was not done well, and the whole person was not good, and said that my man and Xiao Wu didn't eat it, you are picky, and you don't want to think about the current situation at home, and you don't know what to eat tomorrow after eating this meal, so you have to pick and choose? For the sake of you being the master, the old woman will put up with you for a few days. If there is no entry in the building, the old woman has to find another way out with the owner, and he doesn't let me take things, so forget it.

Li Xiaojun didn't notice that this old mother's face had turned black to the bottom of the pot, and she was still showing off her cooking skills in her previous life, until she finished saying everything in her heart, and found that she saw two women, an old man and a young woman, looking at her like a monster, and couldn't help but hesitate, "Did I say the wrong thing?" ”

Zhou Liu asked in a low voice, "Miss, what is the essence of chicken?" ”

Cuiyun also asked, "What is oyster sauce?" ”

Li Xiaojun remembered that this was four hundred years ago, sighed and said, "It's okay to put some shiitake mushrooms without chicken essence." ”

Aunt Zhou slapped her thighs with both hands, glared at her and said, "Shiitake mushrooms are only eaten by dignitaries, where can people like us get them?" ”

"Ah, not even shiitake mushrooms?" Li Xiaojun's mouth opened wide, "What about mushrooms, there are always them, right?" ”

Aunt Zhou nodded, "There is still half of it, and I will stew mushrooms tomorrow." ”

The duckling stewed with mushrooms feels so weird!

Cuiyun asked about the oyster sauce again, Li Xiaojun's heart suddenly moved, the production method of chicken essence is too complicated, but the production of oyster sauce is very simple, you can get started directly now, now there is no input in the building, but you can buy some oysters to try, if you are lucky, you may be able to open the golden finger.

She was still recalling the steps of making oyster sauce when Cuiyun interjected, "Miss, when will you cook?" ”

Li Xiaojun smiled mysteriously, "It will be from that day when you wake up." ”

She was also a little celebrity in her previous life, and in addition to learning art since she was a child, cooking and baking were also a compulsory course. Besides, as a Sichuan girl, how can she not know how to cook?

It was already dark, Zhou Bin and Xiao Wu also came to the back kitchen, and when they saw that there was meat on the table, they ate it unceremoniously, as if they had just been released from the hunger prison, and they couldn't wait to chew all the bones and eat them in their stomachs.

"Well, it's delicious, it's delicious!" Xiao Wu drank not a drop of the soup left, looked at Zhou's mother again, and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"There are only half of them, and there are still some left." Under the sweep of the two big men, there was soon only half a bowl of soup left in the pot, and he and Cuiyun didn't taste a mouthful, Zhou's mother didn't feel angry in her heart, glared at him fiercely, and scolded, "You starving ghost reincarnated, this is what Master Su specially used to make up for Miss's body, and you ate it alone, what can I do in the future!" ”

Xiao Wu glanced at Li Xiaojun embarrassedly, "Miss, I ......"

"It's fine!" Li Xiaojun waved his hand very heroically, and then instructed Cuiyun Dao, "Let me make the rest of the half, you guys will buy some good ingredients tomorrow, and we will make a delicious meal!" Fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the water. ”

Aunt Zhou endured and endured, but in the end she couldn't hold back and asked, "Miss, the family has less than three days' worth of use, where is the money to buy meat to eat?" ”

"Ah, there's really no money?" Li Xiaojun couldn't believe her eyes at all, but the eyes of the four of them were extremely clear, and she had to smile, "Didn't Master give some silver in the afternoon?" ”

Aunt Zhou said unceremoniously, "A total of less than three taels of silver, everything is expensive now, what can you buy with this little silver?" ”

Li Xiaojun smiled awkwardly, "You can always buy some." ”

Aunt Zhou objected again, "But it's all spent, what will I do in the future?" ”

Later...... I'll talk about that later!

Li Xiaojun looked at them disapplauded, she had long been used to such days. According to her previous style, as long as she has money in her hand, she will definitely not be open, and she will not reopen until she spends it up, so she has always been hungry and full, which is quite similar to Li Zhenli.

Thinking of Zhen Niang, Li Xiaojun suddenly had an excuse, "My mother is a top star in the two streets of our old courtyard, and it costs dozens of taels of silver to eat a meal, with such a cash cow, how can our Meixianglou be so poor?" ”

The ability of famous prostitutes in this era to absorb gold is also very strong, the average famous prostitute meets a cup of tea is five taels of silver, if you have a meal, you have to double, if the requirements are higher, it is a bottomless pit, "Su San Qi Jie" has a few lines of singing: "The first time you meet the silver, eat a cup of fragrant tea and leave." The son entered the courtyard for the second time, and brought 36,000 silver with him. In less than a year of the courtyard, the thirty-six thousand silver were all dusted. ”

My obedient man spent 36,000 taels of silver in less than a year, which was still in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, when a tael of silver was worth a thousand yuan, and more than 30 million yuan was spent in a year, and the big stars of later generations were ashamed of themselves.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the Qinglou woman's ability to absorb money was even stronger, first of all, the right to the first night, that is, the silver makeup, Li Xiaojun had the most right to speak, because her first night right was sold for three hundred taels, which was more than 100,000 five years ago when inflation was not very serious.

After betraying the first night, you can pick up guests normally, and there are more doorways here, first of all, the meeting silver, take Li Zhenli as an example, her meeting silver is twenty taels, and the singing song is fifty taels, generally only sing one, and sing another song when you are in a good mood, as for the overnight stay without a hundred taels is impossible. In addition to these, the guests who enter the building also have to give rewards to the bustard, turtle father, and maid, as well as order wine and food, which are all a lot of money, so in ancient times, there was no money or don't go to the Qinglou.

After a few years of enduring the party, many women began to consider redeeming themselves, which is another big investment, Li Zhenli has no plans to be good, so she doesn't know how much she is worth. However, you can refer to Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan, Chen Yuanyuan is two thousand taels, and Dong Xiaowan is three thousand taels, which is not cheaper than the current female stars at all.

Carefully said their doubts, the four of them suddenly sighed bitterly, Aunt Zhou said, "Zhenniang is not good at all, she loves gambling too much, and it is common to lose hundreds of taels of silver, so in the past few years, although there has been a lot of money in the building, there has been no silver saved." ”

Ah, my adoptive mother is still a gambler, although Li Xiaojun heard Cuiyun say that Zhenniang likes to gamble money, but I didn't expect her to gamble so much, thinking of her delicate appearance, it is really difficult to connect with a female gambler!

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Cuiyun also helped, "What Aunt Zhou said is true, Zhenniang often gambles with others, just in the first half of the year, she gambled with Master Yang and Master Chen, and lost more than 1,000 taels of silver in half an hour, they all persuaded her not to gamble, but she didn't take it seriously at all, and still continued to gamble." They thought she wanted to get back to her roots, so they deliberately let her win, and after winning a few games, she stopped playing, saying that she was already having fun. ”

"What is this?" Li Xiaojun said that he didn't understand, "If you win well, why don't you fight?" ”

Zhou Bin interjected, "Zhenniang gambles not to win or lose, but to have fun, and naturally she won't gamble when she has fun." ”

"It doesn't matter if you win or lose?" Li Xiaojun really couldn't understand her brain circuit, "That's silver!" ”

Xiao Wu sighed and said, "Zhenniang is such a character, she never cares about money, she either spends or loses the money she earns, and she also gives it to those who ask for food on the street." ”

Cuiyun said again, "Well...... that's it, once I met a person who asked for food, and Zhenniang gave him ten taels of silver. ”

"Is this the spirit of Ren Xia?" Li Xiaojun really couldn't understand such a rash behavior, "I think this is the fundamental reason why we are poor!" ”

Several people thought so, and then turned their eyes on her - there is no money in the building, landlord, what should I do?

Li Xiaojun also made a mistake when he saw that they were all looking at him, "What are you looking at me doing, and I can't go out to greet guests?" ”

Zhou Bin said, "You have to come up with a charter." ”

Li Xiaojun set his eyes on Cuiyun again, "Or, do you think about it again?" ”

Cuiyun hurriedly shook his head and said, "If it doesn't work, the servant can't make it." ”

"Where do you want to go?" Li Xiaojun was also a little unbearable, this little girl was loyal to herself, she was not a person who had lost her conscience, she really couldn't do anything to force her to become a prostitute, "I'm thinking about other things!" ”

Xiao Wu said, "Did the young lady think of any way?" ”

"Sold you!" Li Xiaojun said angrily, "It is said that half of the eldest son eats Lao Tzu to death, and if you sell it, you will have at least two less rations, and you can still make a sum of money!" ”

"No, no, I can't!" Xiao Wu shook his head like a rattle, "I haven't grown up yet, I don't have the strength to sell it for money." ”

Aunt Zhou and Zhou Bin finally understood the conversation between Li Xiaojun and Cuiyun just now, and the two looked at her very tacitly, and then looked at Li Xiaojun.

Li Xiaojun shook his head and said, "No, although Cuiyun is my maidservant, I have always treated her as my own sister, not to mention that Zhenniang specially explained to me before leaving, asking me to take care of her, even if I starve to death, I will not sell her." ”

Zhou Bin said dissatisfied, "What should I do then?" ”

Li Xiaojun looked up and looked around, "Find something you don't need from the building and sell it, hold on for a few days first, and then I'll think of other ways!" ”

There are a lot of good things in this building, there are more than ten kinds of musical instruments alone, she has tried them one by one, the timbre and sound quality are very good, although it is not an antique, it is enough to sell one for a while.

"After selling it, let's see if I can buy a few catties of oysters back, I'll be useful!"

Oysters are called oysters in this era, the Chinese have begun to eat as early as the Han Dynasty, and have learned to breed in the Song Dynasty, and the food culture of the Ming Dynasty is more prosperous than the Song Dynasty, Nanjing is not far from the sea, and oysters can be seen everywhere.

Zhou Liu saw that she had just finished eating duck and was about to eat oysters, so she couldn't help frowning and said, "Miss, there is really no silver in the building, oysters are very expensive, you can eat something else!" ”

As soon as she complained, Li Xiaojun's head began to hurt, "Oysters can cure dizziness, I have to eat more to get better quickly, and only when my body is good can I have the strength to make money." ”

Zhou Liu glanced at Zhou Bin suspiciously, meaning is it true?

Zhou Bin shook his head lightly, he had never heard that oysters could cure dizziness, but when he thought that Zhenniang was kind to the two of them, he had to nod and agree, "The old man will go to the street tomorrow to take a look, and if there is, he will buy it back." ”

Seeing that he agreed, Li Xiaojun didn't want to stay longer, so he got up and went back with Cuiyun's support. God, you have to bless me, you must boil the oyster sauce out, or I will have to go back to my old business.
