Chapter 22: Maang's Wedding Feast

Make sure your guests are well fed and satisfied.

Huailai is different from Kannai, there are many mountainous areas nearby, and there are many herdsmen raising cattle and sheep. It's just that there are too few people who can afford meat, and beef and mutton are not sold at a high price. The mutton is estimated to be nine taels of silver, plus other dishes and wine, and thirteen taels of silver for a banquet is about the same.

Maang was taken aback. Their family doesn't have so much money now, and they still have to buy cages and furniture......

Qin Liu saw his embarrassment, and said with a smile: "You will hand it over to me for the banquet, as for the money, I will give it slowly after the dumpling shop makes money in the future." ”

The Ma family has helped her a lot, and now she has completely shaken off the dumpling shop, but the Ma family also gives her half of the dividend every month, so she naturally has to do more for the Ma family.

Ma Ang nodded after a little thought.

After a month of deliberation, he accepted the family business sensibly.

He assorted a task for him as a commander, instead of actually marrying a wife, which was much easier to accept.

After all, this marriage is to be a brother-in-law with thousands of households, and it must be done in a grand and grand way to reassure Lord Zhang, so that he can follow in the footsteps of the hundreds of households and end up with an early death.

Qin Liu made money and had a lot of confidence, so he simply gave each of Old Man Lou and the Tartar boy a tael of silver as a reward.

Old man Lou accepted it with a smile and kept saying words of thanks.

The Tartar boy scoffed.

When Qin Liu came to the East Wing next time to serve the mutton rolls he cut, he said gloomily: "You are stingy. ”

Qin Liu's heart was weak for a while. The popularity of this shabu-shabu business is inseparable from the excellent knife work of this tartar boy. If the meat roll is thick, it is easy to chew and not move, and the customer experience will be much worse.

The Tartar boy has been acting harmless to humans and animals recently, and he gets along well with Da Lang Erlang in his spare time, and Sister Ma Feng comes over to chat with him when she has time, and she is happy to tease him. The Tartar boy just worked silently, letting Sister Ma Feng arrange him out of whimsy.

Qin Liu almost forgot that he still had a cold and terrifying side, and he usually called him a little mute like Sister Ma Feng when he was in front of people.

Qin Liu thought for a while and said, "How much do you want?" Whatever you want. ”

She didn't want to offend this Tartar boy and provoke him with white knives in and red knives out, and he was blind no matter how much money he earned.

The young Tartar gave her a contemptuous look and continued to cut the meat rolls.

Qin Liu sighed in his heart.

How can this look make people feel that all the silver is insulting to him?

She hurriedly went back to make up for it: "Of course, the business in the store is booming, and you have a lot to do, otherwise, I will give you half of the dry shares in the store, and you will also bear some losses." Earn half points, what do you think? ”

Splitting shares is not the same as splitting money.

Splitting shares will make this little mute have the mentality of being the master of the house and doing it for himself, and feel that this swallow building is also his industry.

With this kind of affection in it, if the Tartars come to attack the city again in the future, they may be able to spare her swallow tower and not burn it down.

The Tartar boy didn't speak, the corners of his mouth curled up imperceptibly and returned to normal.

Qin Liu saw that he didn't speak, so he acquiesced, and immediately went to weigh seventy taels of silver and brought it to the Tartar boy.

When she gave the money, her flesh hurt terribly, and she just silently recited in her heart: "Spend money to buy peace, spend money to buy peace!" ”

At this time, she especially hated her bullying and fearing the hard.

For the hard-working and down-to-earth old man Lou, he only gave one or two pieces of silver, and for this Tartar of unknown origin who also threatened him, he gave away half of the shares at once.

But after thinking about it, it turned out that what she said was that she only covered food and accommodation and had no salary, but now she took the initiative to give her salary, which is much better than before.

After thinking about it, she still went to find Old Man Lou: "Uncle, our shop is prosperous and it is inseparable from your hard work." What I mean is to give you 10% of the shares in the store, which is this month's dividend. ”

She gave Old Man Lou fourteen taels of silver, plus the one tael of silver she gave before, Old Man Lou took fifteen taels of silver this month.

This income, even in the shop of Xuanfu, a capable guy can get this a year.

Old man Lou smiled, and accepted the money unceremoniously.

Qin Liu could see that Old Man Lou's smile was much more sincere than before.

Out of the door, Qin Liu smashed the wall in frustration.

She was a good shopkeeper, but now she has become a person with little money.

Why are you so stupid?

Why did you give the little dumb fifty percent of the shares all of a sudden?

Isn't it good to give the shares to Old Man Lou from the little mute?

Next time, you can't be so calm.

That's real money!

While eating dinner, Qin Liu was so depressed that he couldn't swallow a few bites.

Old Man Lou and the little mute both ate with relish.

Da Lang and Ji Lang, as usual, like to play around the little mute and find him.

The little mute got along with them very well, and seeing that the others hadn't finished eating, he was playing a game with Da Lang Erlang on the side to throw them into the air and catch them.

The two little ones screamed and laughed with joy, and the room was filled with the laughter of children.

Qin Liu shook his head.

Why is he the only one who is afraid of this tartar?

……

Maang's wedding feast was not long in coming. Qin Liu started to get busy a few days in advance.

The first day the lamb bone sauce is cooked, which is a specialty in modern society - sheep scorpion.

Soak mushrooms, yuba and fungus, wash cabbage and radish, and wait for slicing and serving the next day.

The mutton was frozen outside the house in advance, and she got up early in the morning, let the little mute cut it into thin slices in her west room, and quickly took it out and put it in the cold east wing after cutting.

The main reason is that today there are many people and there is a lot of work to cut meat. But she was worried that someone from the soldiers would recognize the mute as a Tartar, so she had to let him move his workplace to the Westinghouse where she lived. As soon as the door is closed, it is not easy for the guests who come to the wedding banquet to break in.

In addition to shabu-shabu, she also prepared some cold dishes.

Sauced beef is the signature hard dish, in addition to mixed cold skin, tiger skin chicken feet, spicy shredded chicken, sliced ham, hot and sour pickled radish, shallots mixed with tofu, cold mixed mung bean sprouts, cold cabbage shreds, as far as possible to achieve meat and vegetable matching, colorful.

The mung bean sprouts were made by herself after she bought them. During the epidemic in modern society, she also sent mung bean sprouts by herself, but the result was either rotten roots and moldy or green and bitter.

There are three key steps to sprout mung bean sprouts:

First, the container for soaking mung beans must be able to drain water, which can be solved with a bamboo basket. The second is to cover it with a cloth and completely protect it from light. The third is to hand over water once in the morning and once in the evening.

Qin Liu was successful in one attempt. This made the winter outside the bitter cold land have an extra vegetable, and Qin Liu was still a little excited about it.

In this poor and remote town, she had a lot of trouble searching for ingredients.

The ham is made by herself, which is spicy and salty, and full of flavor.

She admires her good cooking skills.

There is no way, before the crossing, I experienced several consecutive years of the epidemic in modern society, and I was very yearning for food at home, so I learned to do it myself.

Her father was a third-rate cook, and he worked in various restaurants, and he taught her a lot of experience by phone and video.

She is a doctor of science and engineering, and she is rigorous by nature and loves to study, and she has carefully studied cooking methods and developed good cooking skills.

I didn't expect to use it when I crossed over.

In the morning, a team of soldiers dressed in neat uniforms came over, surrounded by Ma Ang, who was riding a horse with a big red flower on his chest, and followed by four sedan chairmen carrying a red and gorgeous sedan chair, and some people were blowing suona and beating gongs, which looked very lively.
