"It's getting warmer day by day, so it's best not to keep it for too long. I just gave this duck to Wednesday to try it out. If he thinks it's good, we can talk about cooperation!" Yu Xiaocao said with a faint smile.
"That's good, that's good! Auntie won't delay you, go early and come back early, Auntie is waiting for your good news!" Mao was very surprised that Xiaocao came up with a new prescription so quickly, and also looked forward to it. The owner of Zhenxiu Restaurant can take a fancy to the recipe in Xiaocao's hands, and her unsalable duck can be sold at a good price.
The two sisters bid farewell to the Mao family, and drove the little donkey "deer, deer" to the entrance of the village.
"Hey! Aren't these the twin daughters of the Dahai family? Where are you going? If you go to the town, can you take the aunt for a while?" This fake voice made people feel uncomfortable.
Xiaocao took a closer look, and it turned out to be Xiong, who was very close to his uncle Li, on weekdays. Sure enough, she lived up to her surname, this Xiong's body was thick, dark and thick, not as good-looking as a blind man!
As the saying goes: Birds of a feather flock together. Like Li, Xiong is a lazy and greedy woman who often pays attention to people behind her back. Because of this, almost all the women in the village had quarrels with her. Except for Mrs. Li, it was difficult to find a second person to talk to her in Dongshan Village.
Xiaocao really didn't want to take her along, not only because of her character, but most importantly because she was afraid that her weight of more than two hundred catties would exhaust her Xiaohui.
However, folks in the village don't take her words with them, and they are afraid that this woman will ruin their family everywhere. Xiaocao squeezed out a smirk and said, "Aunt Liu, come up!"
Xiong promised, and climbed up from the back of the cart, the movement almost made Xiao Hui stand up. Xiao Hui looked back with a humane look, and yelled "ang, ang" a few times, as if protesting.
"This is the dying donkey that your family bought last time? It's a big life, but it survived! However, it's still a little thin, and it's not enough to work!" Xiong didn't reflect on his weight, but disliked it. Xiaocao's donkey is not strong, but it is really top-quality.
Xiao Lian always speaks frankly: "How much money does a strong yelling donkey get? Aunt Liu, if you are willing to lend us money, my family will exchange it for a donkey to pull the cart..."
"Uh..." Xiong was choked by the traffic jam, and paused for a moment, "If I want that spare money, I would have bought one by myself, even if I don't deserve a car, I can ride it when I go back to my mother's house!"
Xiaocao thought to herself: With your body shape, let alone a donkey, even the strongest horse may not be able to support your weight!
Mrs. Xiong continued: "Besides, your family sells stewed vegetables and vegetables, so you must have made a lot of money! No one in the village knows that the second son of your Yu family has become a big family in the town, and he can just do it with his fingers. A little exposure is enough for you to eat. Do you still need to borrow money from my family to buy a donkey?"
Yu Xiaocao didn't bother to pay attention to this person, and quietly tugged on Xiaolian's clothes, suggesting that she stop talking. But Xiong didn't wink at all, and said to himself: "Xiao Lian, what are you doing in town?"
Xiaocao said indifferently: "What are you doing! Go buy some seasoning for stewed vegetables."
Xiong said again: "Your family makes a lot of money selling stewed vegetables, right? I heard from your aunt that at least one hundred cash is earned a day. That's not three or four taels of silver a month? Oh, hello! The village is even the head of the village. It may not be as rich as your family."
The eldest son of the village went all over the place to do business with others and made some money. The youngest son was born as a scholar, and was valued by the original county magistrate, and he became a master of writing and ink. The family has hundreds of acres of fertile land and is a first-class family in the village. Xiong's comparing Yu's family with the village head is putting their family on fire!
Yu Xiaocao frowned, and said with a little displeasure: "One penny for meat and vegetables, after deducting the cost, how much money can I have left? It's not enough for the usual family expenses. No, let's go to the town to buy seasonings and some spices, Every time you spend in this area, you need more than one or two taels of silver! One or two taels of seasoning will be gone in less than a month! Aunt Liu, do the math, how much profit do you have?"
Xiong rolled his eyes and said, "Do you still need spices? What kind of spices do you have? Tell me about it?"
Yu Xiaocao gave her a sideways glance, and said flatly: "The exclusive secret recipe, no announcement!"
Xiong muttered a few times, curling his lips unhappily. She has been coveting the secret recipe of Yu's stewed vegetables for a long time. Ever since she knew that Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got the prescription back from Xiaocao, Li's brainless, she has been tricked many times by her.
It's a pity that the secret recipe has always been controlled by Mrs. Zhang. Even if the business can't be done, it won't be cheaper for others. Besides, she also heard that the secret recipe of stewed vegetables has been bought by Zhenxiu Restaurant. Mrs. Zhang usually looks at the nest, but she is actually a timid person. She was afraid that if she revealed the prescription, the Zhou family, who could cover the sky with one hand in Tanggu Town, would use her as a knife. So Zhang secretly burned the prescription. Naturally, Mrs. Xiong would never want to find out anything from them.
This Xiong family looks like a close relative of Xiong, but he is not stupid at all, on the contrary he is very shrewd. Seeing that she couldn't find anything from Mrs. Li, she came to talk to Sister Xiaocao, thinking that it would not be easy to talk like a child? In the end, Xiaocao reprimanded him with a single sentence. In Xiong's heart, he greeted all eight generations of the Yu family's ancestors.
Later, Xiaocao sisters ignored what Xiong said, so she stopped making fun of herself. Xiong Shi is like this, the more he cares about her, the more he pushes his nose and face, so he should leave her alone!
At the gate of Tanggu Town, Sister Xiaocao left Xiong's family on the grounds of taking different paths! Xiong also asked the sisters when they would return to the village so that they could continue to take a ride.
Xiaocao said: "We have to stay in the town for a whole day, and then we can go back after picking up the little brother in the evening. If Auntie Liu's family has something to do, she can take the donkey cart from the next village to go back before noon..."
"It's okay! What can I do? Then it's settled. I will wait at the gate of this city in the evening, and I will take your car back!" Just kidding, taking the car from the next village will cost a penny of. A penny can buy a big steamed bun, Xiong is not willing to part with it!
The two sisters first went to the vegetable market to buy the seasonings needed for making stewed vegetables. Xiaocao went to several shops specially to get together the spices for making salted duck, and bought two fat ducks at the vegetable market, and went straight to the delicacy restaurant with them.
"Miss Yu, why do you have time to come to town today?" The head shopkeeper of Zhenxiu Restaurant saw Yu Xiaocao as if he was seeing the God of Wealth, and smiled all over his face. He glanced at the duck in Xiaocao's hand, his eyes flashed, and he quickly went up to catch it.
Yu Xiaocao was about to say something, but was interrupted by a familiar voice behind her: "Master Zhou, is there any room left in the private room today?"
The big shopkeeper apologized repeatedly with a little embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Dean Yuan! Today's private room was booked two days ago, why don't you... register for you and arrange for the nearest date?"
"There is no private room... It's okay to buy roast chicken! It shouldn't be a problem to give the old man even a roast chicken, right?" The one who came was the real foodie—the great Confucian Yuan Sinian. Next to him is Yuan Yunxi, a potential snack foodie.
The big shopkeeper looked embarrassed, only Chef Wang could make authentic roast chicken taste in the back kitchen, he was busy from morning to night by himself, and he could make fifty or sixty chickens is already the limit. Excluding the ones reserved for the private room, the remaining thirty have already been booked out.
However, the dean of Rongxuan College, a great contemporary Confucian, still needs to show some face. The big shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, and said: "How about...you wait until evening, and let Fatty Wang work the night shift to make one for you!"
Although Yuan Sinian is a senior foodie, he is not unreasonable. He said with a little regret: "That's no need, Lao Wang is so busy! I won't burden him! You can order a roast for us first." Chicken, let’s see when the queue will be the fastest. The private room should also be reserved at the same time, so that you can eat two roast chickens! This old king, when can you take the apprentice out of the teacher! "
Yuan Yunxi looked disappointed, but she was already mentally prepared: "Grandpa, I told you earlier! The private rooms in Zhenxiu Restaurant must be booked in advance, and it will be futile to come early on the day!"
Yuan Sinian blew his beard and stared: "Isn't there nothing to do today! Let's see if a blind cat can run into a dead mouse... It seems that dead mice are really hard to deal with, haha!"
Turning his gaze, Dean Yuan's eyes were attracted by the two identical girls: "Huh? Isn't this... Isn't this Yu Jie's sister? That little girl who cooks delicious food! Is this old man dazzled by hunger? Why did the sister of the two Yu Ge appear?"
Yuan Yunxi's mature and handsome face twitched, and she reminded: "Grandpa, they are twin sisters. They just look alike!"
"Oh! Let me tell you, it turned out to be twins. I thought I was starving and fainted!" Yuan Sinian smiled and stroked his beard, "Which one of you is better at cooking? The stir-fried fat intestines brought over last time." , I can't get enough of it. It's Lao Wang's craftsmanship, and it's far behind in Yu Yatou's hands... "
"Dean Yuan, you're amazing! I'm just good at making brine. How can I compare with Chef Wang, who has been cooking for decades?" Very fond of, couldn't help but smile authentically.
Yuan Sinian nodded with a smile, and said, "Not arrogant or impetuous, you have the potential to be a famous chef! If you were a cook at Zhenxiu Restaurant, I would definitely come here every day, every now and then..."
"Grandpa, is your little salary enough for you to go to a restaurant?" Yuan Yunxi made trouble at the side.
"My salary is not enough, isn't there your father? A son should be filial to his father, right? I don't believe it anymore, the prime minister can't afford me food?" Yuan Sinian stared and hummed through his nostrils. With a sound.
Turning his eyes, he saw the salted duck in the hands of Xiaocao who was smirking beside him, and his eyes lit up immediately: "Yu girl, what are you holding in your hand? Is it a wind duck?"
In this day and age, the chicken, duck, and fish meat that can’t be eaten are all dried, which is somewhat similar to salted salted duck.
