Chapter 16: Braised Pork Knuckles
After Lin Hui listened, she was even more shocked, it is not for nothing that rural dolls go to study, but basically the children of rich families like the village chief or the squire can go, as far as she knows, going to the academy in the town is not only high, but the cost of the four treasures of the study, pen, ink, paper and inkstone used in practice is even more amazing.
How dare a poor family like her think about it?
Furthermore, where do you go to find the enlightenment master? Even if you find it, do you have money to learn?
"Xi'er, your brother doesn't have to worry about studying, our family's situation can't afford it." Lin Hui said in a low voice: "It's a pity that you have to support your family at such a young age, how can your father and mother let you provide for Tao'er to study?" ”
Wenxi took Lin Hui's arm and said with a smile: "Mother, Xi'er will definitely earn a lot of silver, you can rest assured!" It's sure to give our whole family a good life! ”
Lin Hui only thought that she was coaxing herself to be happy, and nodded with a smile, and said, "Mother believes that Xi'er will definitely make a lot of silver!" ”
Lin took out the pig's feet in the back basket and said suspiciously: "This pig's feet are hard to cook and unpalatable, what are you buying this for?" ”
"Mother, you don't know about this, I heard a grandmother in the town say, this pig's feet are delicious, I'll make them for you!" Wenxi cleans the pig's feet neatly, then burns the hair on the pig's feet with fire, chops them into small pieces, adds ginger slices to the pot and cooks them again, takes them out, washes them with water, and then starts to cook them a second time, until the pig's feet are stewed soft, then take them out, and then process them to make a braised pig's feet, but there are not many seasonings here, only a few simple things, bay leaf peppercorns are completely absent, only the Western Regions are sold there, and the soy sauce is only salty, but the taste of the pig's feet is also superb.
Before the pot was raised, the fragrance wafted out, and Wen Tao drooled greedily by the pot table.
"Sister, it's so fragrant~"
Wenxi scratched his little nose and said, "I'll let you eat a good meal today!" ”
"What are you doing again?" Wen Kang, Wen Danian and Liu Shi lifted the door curtain and said: "I smelled it as soon as I entered the yard, it was so fragrant!" ”
"It's Xi'er, I learned a dish of braised pig's feet in the town, and I'm out of the pot right away, go wash it, change my clothes, and get ready to eat."
Wenxi put out the pig's feet, and the tempting fragrance came to her nose, she secretly packed some with oiled paper and put them in the space, preparing to go to the mountains in the afternoon to deliver some to the man.
Anyway, you also collected so many silver tickets, didn't you?
Lin Hui deliberately made a big pot of rice, for fear that it would not be enough to eat, and made another pot of white flour stickers, Wenxi took a few cakes and put them in the space, for fear that there would be no rice grains left for a while.
As expected, the family ate cleanly, except for the two pig's feet hidden by Wenxi, the remaining ten pig's feet were all eaten, and even the soup was eaten by Wenkang mixed with rice.
"Xi'er, this dish is so delicious, even the restaurants in the town can't make this taste!" Wen Kang wiped his mouth and said.
"Look at what you said, it's like you've been to a restaurant in town." Lin quipped.
"Hey, hey, hey······"
Wen Danian and Liu couldn't help but marvel at Wenxi's cooking skills, after living for such a long time, it was the first time to eat such delicious pig's feet, Wen Danian still had a good life in the early years, and naturally knew more about eating than other people in the family.
He couldn't help nodding his head and praising it, and the family was full of praise for the most knowledgeable old man, and they admired Wenxi's cooking skills even more.
"Xi'er is even more powerful than me at a young age~" Lin Hui covered her lips and smiled.
"My daughter just got this recipe by accident."
The family ate harmoniously and happily, and Wenxi took the opportunity to buy fabrics for his family to make clothes.
"What? Spent 500 wen? Liu Shi exclaimed: "Xi'er, where did you get so much money!" ”
Although I know that my granddaughter went to the town to collect medicine in the mountains and exchange it for some silver, can a little medicinal herb be exchanged for so much silver? The family eats meat and rice and noodles, and today I bought cloth for the whole family.
"Grandmother, I exchanged ten taels of silver today." With that, he took the money he had left over from his bosom and put it on the table.
A large family looked at the silver and swallowed their saliva in unison.
"This ······" Wen Kang's fingers trembled slightly, and he pointed to the silver on the table and said, "After buying things, there is so much left?" ”
Wen Xi nodded, she hadn't said the agreement she had reached with Baicaotang, and now the ten taels of silver were shocking to them like this, if she knew that there was still eighty-five taels of pill income every day, she was really afraid that their blood pressure would soar and faint.
After all, these ten taels of silver are the income of most families for a year or two.
"I want to go to the mountains every afternoon to pick medicines, and the next day to sell them in the town, today the shopkeeper of Baicaotang taught me a lot of herbs, I want to go to the mountains to go around." By the way, see how that person is.
"Daddy will go with you." Wen Kang is not worried that she is alone, what if she encounters a beast in the mountains? Can she, a little girl, beat a beast?
"I'll come back in a circle, it won't be too long, and Daddy still has work to do in the afternoon!"
Wen Kang also heard this truth, he worked for the owner, and his father and mother always asked for leave when they were sick, and if they didn't go now, the owner was afraid that they would have opinions.
He told Wenxi to come back before dark.
After eating, Wenxi went up the mountain with a basket on his back.
Entering the mountain, no one around was sheltered by the trees, and quickly flashed into the space.
First looked at the growth of the herbs in the medicine field, and she found that the herbs in the medicine field not only grew extremely fast in the year, but also multiplied on their own.
Originally, there was only one ginseng, but many small seedlings grew next to it, and He Shou Wu multiplied a lot.
This discovery made her overjoyed.
Does this mean that in the future, there will be an inexhaustible supply of medicinal materials in this medicine field, and they are all rare medicinal materials of extremely high vintage.
Got a fortune!
She took out the seeds she bought in the town today, soaked them in spiritual spring water and planted them, and carefully watered them with spiritual spring water.
At the moment, these seeds are indeed wasted, but after the spiritual spring water is soaked, it is unknown whether there may be a trace of vitality.
Then he made the pills that were going to be delivered to the town tomorrow in the laboratory.
It took an hour to toss inside and out before I came out of the space, and picked some medicinal herbs along the way, otherwise it would be difficult to tell my family about going to the town tomorrow.
After all was done, Wenxi walked to the cave.
Mo Yuyan was pranayama, and when he heard a strange sound at the entrance of the cave, he slowly opened his eyes.
Wen Xi had just walked into the cave when a sword was placed across her neck.
