"Go, go! You don't have to come here for a while, just let your mother take the bowls and chopsticks back! In such a small place, we big men can finish it in a while!" Liu Pei said, pouring out half a bowl of duck blood Stew tofu, soak the pancakes in it, and it tastes delicious.
Yu Hai also quite agreed with what the uncle said, and said to Xiaocao, "Hurry up and take your uncle back to eat, be careful that the food is cold."
After eating, Xiaocao put all her energy into making salted duck. The salted duck she made was improved from the recipe of Nanjing salted duck in her previous life. After all, the seasonings and spices at this time were not as complete as in her previous life. However, she found that using Lingshi water as stew can enhance the taste of stewed vegetables and make them more flavorful.
Looking at the time, the process of pickling and marinating has been completed. Xiaocao looked outside like a thief, and saw her aunt and Xiaolian, who had returned from selling braised vegetables, busy in the vegetable field, so she confidently summoned Xiaobutianshi.
[Why did you ask Ben Shenshi to come out?]A golden lightning flashed into the kitchen, and the arrogant voice appeared in Xiaocao's mind.
Yu Xiaocao bent down to hold the little guy in her palm, and gently smoothed its hair, with a flattering smile on her face. Xiao Butianshi squinted his eyes comfortably, hummed, and said: [Tell me, what troubles you?]
Ever since this guy heard that the Taishang Emperor, who was aliased as Wu Ye, called himself "Ye", it also called himself "Ye" from time to time, and felt that it was quite stylish.
"One of my two ducks needs to be air-dried for a while. Master Tangyuan, the almighty, can you help me?" Yu Xiaocao scratched the little cat's chin with her finger, her expression of flattery was beyond words.
[snort! This little matter, also come to bother this god stone?]Although Xiaobutianshi was scratched comfortably, his tone was filled with impatience.
[For the sake of your master serving you well, I will help you again as much as I can! The next is not an example!]The little golden milk cat waved its paw, and one of the pickled ducks quickly dehydrated and shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing that the fire was almost done, Xiaocao hurriedly shouted to stop. If the wind is too dry, it will also affect the taste of salted duck.
At this time, the men who went to the ground all returned. I only heard Liu Pei's loud voice bluffing authentically: "Sister, your sweet potato hasn't had time to grow seedlings, has it? It doesn't matter, your land is small, so you can get some from our house, and the planting will not be delayed."
Yu Hai gulped and gulped and let it cool down, before he smiled and said, "We're not going to grow sweet potatoes anymore. Cao'er said that we're going to try to grow some watermelons. I'm asking the owner of Zhenxiu Restaurant in the town to help find some seeds!"
"Watermelon? Does that stuff fill you up?" Brother Liu Pei and Liu Han, who had never heard of this stuff, couldn't help asking in unison. There is no way, the farmers are still most concerned about the issue of filling their stomachs.
On the contrary, Yu Jiang often runs outside, his eyes are brighter, and he has heard of watermelons. He also asked with some concern: "I know that watermelon is a kind of fruit. But second brother, we have never heard of growing watermelon. What if the weather is not suitable and there is no harvest?"
"No! I have confidence in our Cao'er family!" The main reason is that the Yu family has recently made some money in business, and they don't live on these three acres of poor land, so Yu Hai unconsciously gained confidence.
Yu Jiang also felt that his little niece seemed very capable, so he stopped persuading her and said with a smile, "That's fine! I can wait to try something new!"
"Uncle Santang, you'll have to try something new later! No, salted duck, have you heard of it? You can try a few more later!" Xiaocao poked her head out of the kitchen with the little golden cat in her arms. He made a face at him and said with a smile.
"Salted duck? I haven't eaten it yet. Is it delicious?" Yu Jiang thought of the duck blood tofu and tomato egg soup at noon, and his mouth began to drool again.
Yu Xiaocao cocked her tail rather arrogantly and said: "The product produced by Xiaocao must be a high-quality product!! This is a dish developed for Zhenxiu Restaurant, how can it be bad?"
"What? Zhenxiulou came to ask you for a recipe again? How much money did they make by selling roast chicken, but your family didn't make any money. You can't take advantage of them now. You ask them to sell it A salted duck will give you a dime!" Yu Jiang is quite business-minded!
Yu Xiaocao also felt that it would be a good deal to buy out without getting a share, and lowered her head to think about the feasibility of this matter. Yu Hai felt very embarrassed, after all, Mr. Zhou usually took good care of them, so he raised the price like this, okay
At this time, Yu Xiaocao nodded slowly and said: "Uncle San Tang said yes! A duck costs one penny, and it should be no problem to sell at least thirty or fifty ducks a day. In this way, we can share three or five ducks a day. Five taels of silver, more than a hundred taels a month, a year... Wow! I really think our recipes are sold too cheap!!"
Yu Hai hesitated for a moment, then said, "One penny, isn't it too much?"
Yu Jiang didn't think so, he opened his eyes wide and said, "Second Brother, do you know how many chickens Zhenxiu Restaurant sells? The smallest one costs five taels of silver! Five taels of silver!! One chicken costs the most It’s only a few tens of pennies more, look, this is a hundred times the profit!! If you ask for a penny, I still think it’s too little!!”
Thinking about the sales of Zhenxiu Roasted Chicken and the profits it makes every day, Yu Jiang is worthless for his second brother! ! If there was a share, the second brother's family would have already become the richest man in Dongshan Village! ! What a loss! ! !
"Okay, you guys wash your hands quickly, we have to go back after dinner!" Dinner in this era is usually around four o'clock in the afternoon. Han calculated the distance back, and it was almost dark before returning to the village. Tomorrow, my own land will have to be cultivated!
For dinner, in addition to a large plate of fat and tender salted duck, there are also "stir-fried green tomatoes", "scrambled duck eggs with sharp peppers", "cold green beans" and "stir-fried lettuce in oyster sauce". The staple food is dry rice with brown rice and sorghum. The portions of each dish are quite large, after all, the appetite of several big men is not ordinary!
"Sister, your Xiaocao is really capable. Those of us who have been doing the work on the stove for more than 20 years can't compare to her! The smell of these dishes makes people drool!" Han sighed Looking at Xiaocao anxiously, if she has such a capable daughter, it's nothing special even if she doesn't have a son!
After the Han family entered the Liu family's door, they gave birth to three daughters in succession. Although the father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't say anything, it was a big heart disease in her heart. As she grew older, she gradually lost her heart to have a son. But when she saw other people having sons and daughters, her heart was like being poked by a needle, and it hurt to the bone.
Liu Pei knew his daughter-in-law best. Seeing her lonely eyes, he knew what she was thinking, and immediately interrupted: "Eat, eat! Looking at Xiaocao's craftsmanship, I can eat two big bowls even if I am not hungry!"
The dull Liu Han said in a nasty voice: "Sister, your family's conditions are not good. You are all from your own family. Why do you cook so much food? A few coarse grain pancakes and a plate of pickles are enough! Don't do it for us! a meal, but you want to cause famine... "
Mrs. Liu looked at her brothers moved, with a soft smile on her lips, and said softly, "Brother, don't worry! One or two meals won't break us! The ducks and eggs are given by others, and the green vegetables are all ground." It doesn’t cost a lot of money to pick it from the store. You can eat it boldly!”
Hearing what she said, the gentlemen stopped coddling, and each of them held a large coarse porcelain bowl, which was filled with two rice sticking out, and began to eat big mouthfuls with their arms loose.
Salted duck skin and white meat are tender, fat but not greasy, fragrant and delicious. The people at the table praised "It's delicious", "It's so tender" and "It's so delicious". Yu Jiang once again solemnly reminded Xiaocao that this duck will definitely sell well, and she must raise a share with Zhenxiulou!
Yu Xiaocao nodded in agreement, thinking about whether to go to the town tomorrow, bring the salted duck to Wednesday Shao to taste, and ask about the watermelon seeds.
The family ate to their satisfaction. Soon after the meal, the uncles and aunts took their leave and went back. They had to climb a few mountains to return to the village, and it would take an hour and a half for those who were used to walking the mountain roads. It would probably be quite dark when they got home!
Xiaocao cut the remaining salted salted duck in half, and asked Xiaolian to send half of it to Mao, and told her that the salted salted duck was sliced into thin slices and steamed, and the taste was also very good. It tastes the same as the salted duck I just ate.
The remaining salted ducks are hung under the eaves. Now the temperature at night is still relatively low, and it will not change the taste overnight.
The next morning, Yu Xiaocao got up and told her parents that she was going to the town, and by the way, in the evening, she would bring back the little stone that should rest again.
Because of Xiaocao's ability and sophistication, Yu Hai and his wife gradually stopped treating her like a child. If there is anything at home, I will discuss it with my youngest daughter. If their opinions differ, they will also unconsciously consider the younger daughter's suggestion.
Today, Yu Hai decided to go to the pier to sell stewed vegetables by himself, and asked Xiaolian to accompany Cao'er to the town. The two sisters have a companion, so they are not lonely on the road.
Yu Xiaocao went back to the house to get some silver, took the other half of the salted duck, drove the donkey with Xiaolian and went out. As soon as he went out, he saw Mrs. Mao trotting over in a hurry, saw the two sisters and the donkey behind them, and glanced at the half-pushed duck in Xiaocao's hand, and smiled from ear to ear, knowingly asked: "Xiao Cao Cao, Xiaolian, where are you two sisters going?"
"Aunt Qian, we have something to go to town!" Xiao Lian replied politely.
Mrs. Mao endured it, but still couldn't hold it back, and couldn't help asking: "Xiaocao, my aunt entrusted you with the matter, look..."
"Auntie, what do you think of the half duck I gave you yesterday?" Xiaocao asked instead of answering her.
Mrs. Mao smiled embarrassedly, and said: "It's not a festival, who would be willing to eat such a good thing? I will take it out and eat it when I am going to have guests at home. Didn't Xiaolian say that it can be kept for a while?"
