"It's called autumn pear cream?"

Han Ning's eyes widened, and he looked curiously at the brown liquid in the small clay pot, leaned over and sniffed it, there was a faint sweetness of pears.

"Yes, it's the prescription I read from medical books, but I can't remember which medical book it is, I've read too many books in the past few years."

"But Brother Han, don't worry, this is indeed a prescription from the medical book, which can nourish the lungs, and the effect is very good. It's made with very simple ingredients, only sour pears, red dates, ginger, and rock sugar are put in it. Pears are cool, ginger and red dates are put to get rid of the cold, and there is no mess added to it, so you can drink it with confidence. ”

Li Qiao, who put Luo Han Guo and Chuanbei, didn't take the autumn pear paste, and what he and Tao Zhu got from the Han family was the ordinary version of the autumn pear paste.

"In this season, people have to surround the charcoal basin during the day and sleep on the kang at night, so many people's throats will be dry, itchy and uncomfortable, and the body will also be hot.

"If there are more serious cough symptoms, you can add medicines such as monk fruit Chuanbei to the autumn pear cream, and the effect is very good."

Li Qiao explained in detail, after all, it is a medicinal diet, so you have to be cautious.

"I believe in Brother Li, so I'll let people bring warm water." After Han Ning finished instructing the little servant, he looked at Li Qiao and was moved: "It's just a few baskets of pears, Brother Li, you are so attentive to let you spend time doing this, my heart as an elder brother is uneasy." ”

"It just so happens that I remember this recipe, and it didn't take much time, and the examination was not a day or two. Besides, if it weren't for Brother Han, how could I study with peace of mind. ”

The Han family had always been in a hurry when they walked the official road before, but this time, in order to cooperate with him, they not only put their business on hold temporarily, but also figured out the big and small rivers, villages and towns along the way in advance, so that he could have a hot meal every day.

He didn't have to worry about the route and other problems at all, he just needed to hurry, read, and wait for dinner every day.

The first time I entered Beijing, I was able to be comfortable like this on the road, all of which relied on the Han family.

Although the Han family has been relieved of this batch of sour pears, but this batch of pear trees was bought for more than 3,000 taels of silver, and it also occupied a small hill.

And for him, it's just a matter of moving his mouth, and it doesn't take much time.

Han Ning listened to Li Qiao's words, and the emotion on his face was even greater, Li Qiao was so good that he didn't know how to praise him.

When he gave Li Qiao pears, he just thought that he could let Li Qiao have a pear soup to drink in the winter, but who knew that Li Qiao regarded his family's difficulties as his own difficulties, and took time to solve this batch of sour pears before the exam.

How can there be such a good and smart person in the world!

At this time, the little guy came over with a bowl and warm water, and when he drank the autumn pear paste into his mouth, Han Ning smacked his mouth, and then nodded: "It tastes good, slightly sweet, and my throat is indeed more comfortable than just now after drinking." ”

Li Qiao smiled when she heard this: "Yes, after all, it is a medicinal diet." However, autumn pear paste is not suitable for everyone, and people with spleen and stomach deficiency should drink it less because pears are cold. ”

He elaborated on some taboos.

Seeing this, Han Ning hurriedly brought a pen and paper and wrote them down one by one, so as not to forget them.

"Brother Han, this autumn pear paste can be stored for a long time after it is done, and your sour pears can be made into autumn pear paste, which is excellent for eating at home or giving to relatives and friends."

"Of course, if there is a surplus, you can also put it in your family's stew restaurant and sell it. However, it is important to make it clear to diners in advance who should not eat it. ”

Li Qiao said again.

These words came to Han Ning's heart, as a businessman, when he saw a new item, he would subconsciously estimate its commercial value.

Now that Li Qiao said this, he hurriedly asked for some details, and the things that entered his mouth were still under the banner of medicinal food, so he had to be cautious.

Note: Write five sheets of rice paper densely, and then he put down the brush in his hand.

He opened his mouth with a serious face: "Brother Li, my family still has more than 20,000 catties of sour pears now, and I can make a lot of autumn pear paste, let's follow the rules, these autumn pear pastes are three and I seven, you have done my family a great favor, I can't let you take the recipe for nothing." ”

“…… Row horn. ”

Seeing Han Ning's resolute face, resolute eyes, and a full of non-committal beaks in his tone, Li Qian didn't bother to say anything on this issue.

Next, he and Tao Zhu went to the kitchen of the Han family and taught Han Ning and the Han family's cooks how to make autumn pear paste.

The production of autumn pear paste is very simple, but there are a lot of small details, if you don't pay attention, the taste will not be good, for example, you can't use an iron pot to boil autumn pear paste, which will be stained with rust and affect the taste.

Li Qiao and Tao Zhu stayed at Han's house all day, and even ate dinner at Han's house, and when their husband and wife returned, it was already late at night.

Small snowflakes fell in the sky, and it snowed again.

Tao Zhu's right hand and Li Qiao's hand were held together, he stretched out his left hand to catch the snowflakes, the snowflakes fell in the palm of his hand, it was cool, he was a little lucky: "Fortunately, we are already in the capital." ”

If it snows on the road, it's too hard.

Li Qiao snorted, and also stretched out his hand to pick up the snow, Ruixue Zhaofeng year, I hope this year's snow is just right, no more, no less.

"I don't know if it's snowing in Sanliu Village."

Tao Zhu raised his head and looked at the small snowflakes fluttering in the wind, and he missed the big courtyard of Sanliu Village and the people in the village.

When Li Qiao heard this, she couldn't help but clench his hand: "Tomorrow, let's write a letter to our family to report our safety, they must be very concerned about us." ”

"Hmm!" Tao Zhu nodded heavily.

The Han family's caravan had not yet returned to Pingcheng, and they had to hurry up and write a letter.

The next day, Li Qiao wrote several letters in the morning before starting to read.

Tao Zhu also wrote letters, he didn't have to read, so he wrote slowly, what he saw and heard along the way, what he saw and heard in the capital, he wrote down in detail.

For Zheng Qianqian, for Baiyu, for Li Bottle......

In addition to the letter, he also asked Han's family to buy some Shengjing specialties, and he didn't go out himself, because he had to take care of Li Qiao's food, clothing, and daily life, just like when he was in Fucheng and the capital, so the work of shopping and shopping could only be entrusted to the Han family.

The same is true of the Zhuang family, Xu Ying Shen Hua, and the Meng family, they wrote letters, bought some special products, and asked the Han family to take them back.

After the snow stopped, it was already past Laba, and the Han family's caravan set off for Pingcheng.

Han Ning didn't go back, he was busy making autumn pear paste.

In the past few days, he gave the first batch of autumn pear paste to relatives and friends, and let them try it, and everyone said that it was delicious and effective.

It's snowing, the weather is colder, everyone can't wait to tie the charcoal pot and the kang to their bodies, and eat some hot and spicy food, so that the body will inevitably be hot and dry, and it will be accompanied by many uncomfortable symptoms.

There are two versions of his autumn pear cream, one is for the small symptoms of dry and itchy throat, and there is no medicine in it.

One version is with cough medicines such as monk fruit, chuanbei, and licorice.

But no matter which version it is, the response has been good.

In this case, Han Ning was naturally full of energy, who would have thought that the sour pears that had opened his family's loss-making trip could turn into such a magical autumn pear paste.

He must be thanked for his eldest brother's persistence.

In the past few years, the family's business has lost even the ancestral property, but his eldest brother is reluctant to cut down those pear trees, and he must thank his eldest brother for his unwillingness.

He also had to thank him for his decisiveness.

If he hadn't decisively sold his ancestral property and went south to Pingcheng, there would be no turning point now.

Of course, the most important thing to thank is Li Qiao.

The family was in the middle of the road, the imperial examination was not smooth, and the family affairs were also withdrawn, and he was really prepared to commit suicide if he did not succeed.

Fortunately, I met Li Qiao!

Now that his family has a stew restaurant and autumn pear paste, he must run it well and earn back the lost family business little by little.

In the middle of the month, Hanjia Braised Restaurant launched a new product: autumn pear paste.

Hanjia Braised Restaurant is on the main street in the north of the city, with a good location and many diners.

His stewed vegetables are actually not cheap, a bowl of eighty-eight wen, there are only one or two vermicelli in it, and the rest is pork, tofu, cabbage, kelp and other ordinary ingredients.

Ordinary people can't afford this price, but most of the people living in this area in the north of the city are petty officials and wealthy businessmen, and these people are reluctant to go to Yunxiaolou to eat a bowl of stewed vegetables for 500 yuan, but they can afford to eat a bowl of stewed vegetables for 88 yuan.

Compared with those big restaurants in Yunxiaolou, his family's stewed dishes are really close to the people.

Last year, the sweet potatoes in Pingcheng were not harvested, the production of vermicelli was reduced, and it was not easy to transport them for a long time, so the value of vermicelli increased sharply after arriving in the capital, and a pound of dry vermicelli was as high as 500 Wen.

However, the merchants traveled thousands of miles to transport the vermicelli back to Beijing, of course, to squeeze out its maximum value, and the merchants all sold the vermicelli as a mature food.

It's like his family, a pound of dry vermicelli is 500 wen, one or two vermicelli is 50 wen, and his family's stewed vegetables with only one or two vermicelli are sold for 88 wen a bowl, and the extra 38 wen is what his family earns more than selling dry vermicelli.

Of course, removing the cost is the pure profit, but no one can deny the windfall profits of the vermicelli, relying on the vermicelli, it only took a year for his family to earn back half of the lost family fund.

He was really happy with the noodles.

His diners are also quite satisfied with the price, so his restaurant is full every day.

There are many diners, and autumn pear paste is not worried about selling.

Like the king's shopkeeper, he selected a few people from among the diners and sold them the pear paste, and after tasting it, the diners thought it tasted good and paid for it.

went home and ate for a few days, and found that the effect was the same as what Han Ning said, so he repurchased it and sold it to relatives and friends.

So the market for autumn pear paste opened up all of a sudden.

After the festival, the new year approaches.

This is the fourth New Year that Li Qiao and Tao Zhu have spent together, and now they are in the capital, far away from Sanliu Village, and the lively atmosphere of the previous two years of the New Year is not here.

But the New Year's goods that should be prepared still have to be prepared, and there are Zhuang Jia, Shen Hua, Xu Ying, and Meng Jia, in fact, there are not a few people.

On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, sweep the house.

On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the window was pasted.

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, stew big meat.

Early in the morning of the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Tao Zhu took Li Ershan and Shen Hua, Zhuangquan Manor, and the eldest brother of the Meng family to the vegetable market to buy meat.

After the meat was bought, they went back to their respective homes to stew meat.

It was almost noon, Shen Hua came, carrying a basket in his hand, and in the basket was the ribs he had stewed with his own hands.

In these days in the capital, because he was unfamiliar with the place and no one went out with him, Shen Hua followed Tao Zhu to learn to cook all kinds of food.

This stewed pork rib was he learned from Tao Zhu a few days ago, he stewed it today, and thought it tasted good, so he brought it to Tao Zhu to taste.

Tao Zhu bought some mutton today, planning to make cumin mutton and mutton skewers, and by the time he arrived, the mutton skewers had already been grilled several times, and the fragrance filled the entire kitchen.

But he couldn't smell the fishy smell, but he didn't want to go back, so he stood at the kitchen door and talked to Tao Zhu.

"Is the Xu family here?" Seeing this, Tao Zhu asked directly.

When Shen Hua heard this, he sighed heavily: "Yes, it's annoying." ”

"Then you stay and eat later, and the two of us will go back to the hall to eat, and leave the mutton in the kitchen." Tao Zhu Road.

Hearing this, Shen Hua hesitated for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay." ”

The Xu family has been getting more and more excessive.

On the way to the capital, the Xu family often disturbed Xu Ying's study, and they didn't seem to take Xu Ying's exam to heart at all.

On the second day of arriving in the capital, the big guys went shopping together, and the Xu family only came to Xu Ying's two brothers and sister-in-law, and the rest were nowhere to be found.
