"Come, taste them all." Haizhu squatted down with a plate and beckoned to Chaoping at the door, this kid is too honest, he is a solid eye, he will never step into the kitchen door without shouting at him.

The fried fish skin is crispy in the mouth, but it doesn't have a special flavor because of the lack of fat.

"Try some more fish on the skin." Haizhu said that she wiped her hands, took a knife and cut two pieces of fish with skin, the fish was loosened with a rolling pin, the batter was replaced with soybean flour, and a little pepper was added to the soybean flour.

So Haizhu cut off the skin of the manta fish with a layer of fish meat, and the fish was pounded loose and marinated in a basin, and fried when there were guests.

"Is it here? Hey, is there anyone at home? ”

Haizhu heard the sound and walked out of the door, it was a man and a woman with two four or five-year-old children, she was the first to ask, "But are you here to eat?" ”

"Yes, we were introduced by Shopkeeper Li, and he said that you are quiet here and the place is big. Got a manta ray tonight? The kind that doesn't have a thorn. The man asked.

Haizhu nodded, "Come in and sit, there is a private room in the house, and your children can play in the yard or in the alley." ”

"What's the food?" The woman with the gold earrings came up to her and said, "My child likes to eat fish, but he doesn't know how to pick the bones." ”

"That's right, the meat of the manta fish has no bones, you can order a plate of steamed, or sour bamboo shoot fish, I still have small yellow croaker at home, shrimp, crab and sea urchin, you see what dishes you eat with your husband." Haizhu looked at the shaking earrings and remembered that she had opened two pearls in the sea, and added: "There is also mussel meat, which can be stir-fried." ”

"A small yellow croaker, a sour bamboo shoot fish, a sea urchin steamed egg, and a steamed shrimp." The man came over and ordered.

"Okay, I'll do it now." Haizhu went to the next door to pick up fish and shrimp to take the sea urchin, put the ginger and green onion segments on the small yellow croaker plate, and the same is true for the lobster, pour the egg liquid into the washed sea urchin, put it on the grate and cover the pot with a lid to boil the pot.

Qi Laosan came back, Haizhu asked him to go to the street to buy sour bamboo shoots, she fried a plate of fish skin and served it on the table, saying, "Give it to your children to eat, no money." ”

"Sister, the soup in the crockpot should be cooked, you can take a look." Dongzhu shouted.

Haizhu took a spoon to scoop the soup, the fish had been cooked, the aroma of the wine was stuffed in the jar, the lid was opened and the heat came out, and the sweet wine had been simmered to remove the fishy smell. She poured some salt and stirred up the seasoning, tasted it, and it tasted quite fresh, more delicious than the bowl of pork belly noodles she ate in the restaurant.

The fishy smell of pork belly meat is difficult to go, and there are many condiments added to remove the fishiness, but you can't eat the unique taste when mixed together. The fish meat of the manta fish is delicate and easy to cook, with sweet wine soup, the fish soup is fresh and sweet, accompanied by autumn oil, the fish soup is boiled to a light yellow, and no oil, and the taste is not greasy.

"Cook a pot of soup, we will cook noodles or boil noodles at night and eat it, and we won't sell it." Haizhu scooped out the two bowls of soup from the crockpot and was about to serve one to the diners, when Erwang's milk from the alley came, and the young woman beside her looked a little like her.

"Haizhu, this is my second girl, she is out of confinement, I heard that you caught something good today, bring her to make up for it."

"That's right, sit in the house." Haizhu turned a corner, put two bowls of soup on the table, and said: "The second sister came for the first time, I invited the second sister to drink this bowl of soup, the manta fish meat is boiled, the oil and water are not big, and I am not afraid of blocking the milk if I drink too much." ”

"Hey, thank you, girl."

Erwang took the bowl and said, "You go and get busy, you don't need to greet us, you just look at the dishes." ”

"Steamed small yellow croaker, and then a sour bamboo shoot fish, the fish meat is manta fish, no thorns."

"Okay, okay." Erwang Milk responded repeatedly, and after a while, seeing Dongzhu send another plate of fried fish skin, she said, "We didn't order this." ”

"Sent it, my sister said please eat it." Dongzhu was still in a hurry to light the fire, and left as soon as he finished speaking.

"Hey, this kid is really polite, you can taste it, it tastes very good, better than fried pork skin."

Qi Laosan came back from buying sour bamboo shoots, Haizhu had already made the manta fish slices, she washed the sour bamboo shoots, boiled the water to remove the saltiness and soaked them in cold water, and sliced them without burning her hands.

Pour oil into the pot, hot green onions, ginger, garlic and two or three peppercorns, it's time to add water after the sour bamboo shoots are fragrant, she took the spoon with her hand, turned on her toes and bent down to open the lid of the crockpot, scooped the soup into the pot under Dongzhu's puzzled eyes.

"We'll cook the soup later, and I've got the fish left." Haizhu smiled, boiling fish in fish soup is more fragrant.

The sour bamboo shoot fish soup came out of the pot and really didn't disappoint her, the soup was slightly sour and fresh, not comparable to boiling soup.

The dishes ordered by the two tables were served on the table one after another, and there was a guest with children, who was also introduced by the shopkeeper Li, Haizhu thought that this person was very trustworthy and could do it.

Let's get rich together.

Chapter 69: Are You Admiral Han's Righteous Daughter?

There was no moon in the sky, and the sound of gongs and drums sounded in the dark night, and the guards who patrolled at night were on duty.

Du Xiaowu didn't have time to change his clothes after he got off duty, and went straight to the bluestone lane where Haizhu lived on an empty stomach.

There are guards patrolling, it is safe at night, the doors of the people in the alley are wide open, the adults sit in the yard to eat, and the children who have a full stomach run crazy in the alley, and they don't cry when they hit people, they get up and continue to run.

"Child, where does Haizhu live?" Du Xiaowu grabbed a kid and asked.

"Sister Haizhu, it's in the middle of the alley, you keep walking, which one has the most fragrant food."

"There's a lantern in her yard, and the brightest one is." The little girl who just went to buy steamed eggs with sea urchin added.

Du Xiaowu understood, he followed the light to find the past, and when he arrived, it was just as a table of diners left, and there were still three tables of people sitting in the courtyard, and they were talking in a low voice under the dim lantern, not noisy or noisy. For a moment he felt that he had gone to the wrong place, and he had come into the courtyard of another house.

Qi Laosan recognized him, walked over and asked, "Is the official going to eat or looking for Haizhu?" ”

"Do you still have vegetables?" Du Xiaowu walked inside.

"The small yellow croaker and manta rays are gone, and there are still shrimp, crabs, mussels and sea urchins."

Haizhu came out when he heard the sound and said, "Third uncle, you are busy with you, I will greet the little fifth brother." Just as the private room was vacated, she led the man in and asked him if he had eaten.

"Cook me a bowl of soup, just crab and tofu soup, and then a bowl of rice noodles." Du Xiaowu glanced out and said, "What I want......

"Keep it, you sit first, I'll get it for you." When Haizhu goes out, there is no tofu in the kitchen, but it is not far from the street, and you can buy it back by boiling the scoop of water. She asked Qi Laosan to go on a trip to buy two pieces of tofu, and went back with a lantern herself, and selected half of the sea cucumber to be put in a bucket and brought it to him.

Feng Ping saw his eldest sister come in and asked if he would burn the fire.

"Burn the fire, I'll cook another dish and prepare our own meal." The crab meat and tofu soup should be made with lard, Haizhu takes two raw crabs from the bucket, pries them along the back of the crab, breaks off the crab gills and crab stomachs, rinses them and chops them in the middle.

"Sister, the water in the pot is boiling dry." Feng Ping shouted.

"Here we are." Pull two small spoons of lard chop into the pot, the solidified lard melts into the ginger slices, the ginger is fragrant and the crab is stir-fried, Haizhu saw that Dongzhu looked at it seriously, and said: "There are three crabs left, let you fry them later?" We eat it ourselves. ”

"Okay." Dongzhu promised loudly.

Crab meat and tofu soup is a Taoist cooking, the crab shell is fried and discolored, add two bowls of boiling water, cover the pot with a lid and boil. Because they were acquaintances, Haizhu chopped a lobster to take the shrimp tail meat, and cut half of the sea mussel meat, and the mussel meat was cut into thin slices.

"Tofu is back." Qi Laosan ran all the way, and when he got home, he was still a little breathing, he put down the plate with tofu, took the rag and continued to clean up the scraps.

Cut the tofu into cubes, pour it into the pot with the shrimp tail meat and mussel meat, and cook it over high heat for two boils.

Haizhu served the food to Du Xiaowu, and Dongzhu took her place to scoop water to wash the pot and add water to boil powder.

Dongzhu can do a good job of cooking noodles, Haizhu went into the house to take a look, and went out with a basket of unsold sea urchins.

"What do you want to get? I'll get it. Grandma Qi came over and asked.

"I'm going to take off the bile yellow and steam the egg custard if it's not sold out, you can get it with me."

In the kitchen, Dongzhu scooped up the cooked flour, scalded a handful of cabbage sum and spread it on the flour before serving it, and then excitedly ran to Haizhu to ask what else to do.

"Don't do anything, you start stewing crab tofu soup, don't make too much lard, it's greasy if you have too much oil."

"Okay, okay." Dongzhu ran away with a smoke, "The wind is calm and the fire is burning." ”

The three tables of diners in the courtyard also put down their chopsticks one after another, it was not as noisy as the restaurant, and they were not in a hurry to leave, moved the stool and sat aside to watch Haizhu clean up the sea urchins, and asked her to prepare a pot of tea for preparation, and use it after the meal.

"Okay, I've made a note of it, I'll go buy the tea stove and tea leaves tomorrow." Haizhu said.

"Can't open the door tomorrow night to do business? I'll introduce you to guests. ”

Haizhu shook her head, she pointed to the sky, it will probably rain tomorrow, "I don't open the door on rainy days, I don't open the door on windy days, and when the weather is clear, I will open the door to do business when I go to the sea and catch good things." ”

The onlookers laughed, "The people who come to eat here are all fate." ”

Haizhu also smiled, but it's not it, it all depends on chance.

"When the door is about to open, I'll put a red flag on the wall." She said.

After the sea urchin was yellow, Haizhu went in with a bowl to steam the eggs, and Grandma Qi brought a shovel with sand and shells to shovel it up and pour it into the bucket, and these things should be put forward to dig a pit and bury them together with the leftovers when the door is closed, otherwise the stinking will attract a large number of flies overnight.

"Check out, we should go too." The woman holding the child said.

"How much does our table cost?" The man asked Qi Laosan.

The two tables of sour bamboo shoots and fish are more expensive, respectively four taels and two or two dollars, and the last table is two neighbors in the alley, who only ordered a plate of fried mussel meat and sea urchin steamed eggs, and brought two bowls of porridge, and it was only sixty wen after eating one meal.

After sending off three tables of diners, Qi Laosan gave Haizhu the silver money, turned around and cleaned up the dishes quickly, and Haizhu stewed an egg custard, and he cleaned up the yard.

"You haven't eaten yet?" Du Xiaowu wiped his mouth and walked into the kitchen, took out his purse and asked, "How much is the total amount of rice and sea cucumbers?" ”

"The sea cucumber I sold to the shopkeeper of the Jiubei restaurant is one hundred yuan, you can also give it at this price." As for the meal, there is no need to talk about money, I invite the little fifth brother. Haizhu said with a smile.

Du Xiaowu shook his head, there were seventeen sea cucumbers, and he took out two taels of silver and handed them to her. She is good friends with Shen Sui, and she is the righteous daughter of Admiral Han, and she is also close to General Han, so he can't do anything like not giving money for food.

"You're busy, I'm leaving." He left with a bucket, "The bucket will be returned to you tomorrow." ”

The night was deep, and the alley was quiet.

Qi Laosan closed the door so that no one would come to the door again, and then washed his hands and went to the kitchen to serve the crockpot where the soup and powder were cooked.

The soup in the crockpot is still steaming, and the smooth rice noodles are stained with thick soup, and the soup is poured into a bowl and sprinkled with green green onions, which is very appetizing to watch under the halo of lanterns.

"Crab tofu soup is here, let me go." Dongzhu came over with a soup cup, this Gu soup is made of solid ingredients, under the orange crab shell is full of shrimp tail meat and mussel meat, the tofu is fried first and then soaked, absorbing the soup and floating on the soup.

Haizhu brought a bowl of steamed eggs with sea urchin yellow, the sea urchin yellow was steamed in the egg liquid, and a spoonful of autumn oil was stirred from the pot, and the fragrance wafted all the way from the kitchen to the dining table.

"Let's eat, I've been hungry for a long time." Haizhu rolled up her sleeves and sat down, and the bowl of pork belly noodles she ate when she came back had already been digested. She scooped a spoonful of egg custard and spread it on the flour, stirred it up, picked a few pieces of tofu and a few pieces of shrimp tail meat, picked up the bowl and chewed it and drank the soup, a bowl of soup powder went down to the stomach and felt comfortable.

Dongzhu and Fengping also learned her way of eating, and they were full after a bowl of noodles, and their sisters and brothers stayed in the kitchen to light the fire and helped taste the dishes, and they ate a lot of fried fish skin, and they were not very hungry.

Haizhu ate two more pieces of crab meat and put down his chopsticks, and the rest was wrapped up by Grandma Qi, mother and son, especially Qi Laosan, he worked a lot and had a big appetite, and he could last as much leftovers as he could.

"Today, I got two pearls from opening mussels under the sea, one for me and Dongzhu." Haizhu went back and pulled out two beads from the dirty clothes she had changed, the black one was the size of a little finger, and the purple one was smaller than the black one. She took out the remaining uneaten tofu and crushed it, and rubbed the two pearls in the tofu, the mucus on the surface was gone, and the beads appeared shiny under the halo.

Dongzhu pinched the purple pearl and held it up to the lantern to take a closer look, and turned back with a smile and said, "Sister, it's so beautiful." ”

"Another day, I will take it to the jewelry shop, find a goldsmith to use a gold wire hoop, and put a string around my neck." Haizhu said.

Chaoping leaned over with a blank eye, Haizhu glanced at him and handed him the beads, "Is it pretty?" ”

Shiohei nodded, "Give it to me." ”

"Not for you, only those who have beads in their names can wear beads." Haizhu grinned and fooled him, "Why don't you change your name?" Called Tide Beads? ”

Chaoping looked back at his father, can he change it?

Second Uncle Qi smiled and said, "Only the little girl wears the beads and returns the pearls to your eldest sister." ”

"Haizhu, you take them back to take a bath first, and go to bed early after a tired day." Grandma Qi shouted in the kitchen, she didn't let her interfere in cooking on the fire, and it was her job to wash the dishes and clean up the kitchen, "There is bath water boiling in the pot, and the water will be cold after a while." ”

Haizhu should be fine, take back the black pearl and lead Chaoping out, out of the yard to find that the night is really dark, there is not a star in the sky, it should rain tomorrow.

Before dawn, it rained in the middle of the night.

The rain had not abated in the morning, and it was impossible to set up a stall to sell cakes in such a heavy rain, so Haizhu planned to cut the leeks and mix them with eggs and steamed leek buns.

I ate three pots of leek buns for two days, and the vegetables were gone, and it was still raining. Qi Laosan was trapped at home and sighed, he had nothing to do if he couldn't go out to sea to fish, and he had to sleep with his head flat.
