The matter of the Miao family, the heart of Miao He on this side is helping Yuan Shen happy, but it is not the truth.
In reality, the Miao family was hit hard by Min Chun.
It has to be said that when it comes to the banquet, I have lost all the face that should be embarrassed. Looking back, I found out that the person who stole from Brother Chun turned out to be Miao Yuan's Miao family, and still wanted to blame all the fault on Min Chun. In this way, Miao Yuan does not need to admit to the outside world that he was at fault for having sex with others before marriage. In the future, he still wants to take the examination of Xiucai, and his reputation is very important.
However, this statement has to cooperate with Minchun not to speak out.
So people made two paths. One is reconciliation, but the Miao family has to pay 60 taels. If it is difficult for him to marry well in the future, he must be guaranteed. The other one is discord and separation, even if the marriage continues. The latter one is still kept, and it is also Jun, who still loves Miao Yuanchang in Minchun, and is more attractive to him than those black, sturdy and vulgar farmers.
And if the Miao family chooses neither of the two, well, he will break the jar and tell the story to see who is better than the other.
But sixty taels, almost lost all the wealth that the Miao family had saved from the workshop before! Choosing the first one is to save face, and lose the inside. I chose the second item, on the contrary, I got a lining, and I was sure to be pointed and laughed at the back.
Miao Jue, who made the decision, changed his face after knowing it. He really loved money and face.
When Miao Yuan's aunt, Lin Xue, saw that something was wrong, she immediately knelt down and wept bitterly, saying that the money from this recipe was because Yuanzi got it. continue to earn? What's more, this spring brother can be unruly before marriage, who knows if he will be after marriage! ! If there is a second time, Yuanzi's reputation will not be saved! ! After speaking, Lin Xue stared at Min Chun angrily.
And Min Chun, who had been waiting for Miao Yuan's statement, suddenly felt that there was no need to endure any longer, and sneered directly. "Recipe? Isn't the recipe for bean curd flower Miao Yuan taught by me? One or two, I can make money with my recipe, but I still don't want to recognize it. It's just right to spit out all the money I got now. I'll take the money and leave."
Lin Xue was shocked when she heard the words, "What, what did you say!? That Fang Zi is obviously a distant son..." She turned her head to look at his son. What Miao Yuan could do was to lower his head deeply.
Min Chun was too lazy to pay attention to her, turned his head and asked, "Old man, what do you say? I have bad patience."
This is the first time that Miao Jue has seen a person without fear, and it is completely different from the quiet, aggrieved, weak and controllable expression of people at home before! Immediately, Miao Jue ate a lot of food, and immediately contacted the front and back. "You, you, could it be that you have already...!?"
Min Chun hugged his chest and interrupted coldly, "I don't understand what the old man said. All I know is that some people are afraid that they want to ride a donkey to find a horse. I don't want to be that donkey. It's none of my business if you are kicked by a horse now."
Miao Yuan blushed and shook his fingers, "You, you! It's not all caused by your shameless brother today! Our family has been innocent for generations, and such scandals have never happened before, you, You still have such a face!!"
"Ha, then you have to cooperate with your good grandson, don't you?"
Having said that, it is impossible for the two sides to reconcile.
So a few days later, Min Chun successfully took 60 taels and left with her mother.
And with silver money, are you afraid that other things won't develop? Min Chun has silver in his hand, and he is not afraid of anything.
But she ignored the anger and shame hidden under her aunt's face.
—
After that, there was a lot of uproar in the village.
It was said that Miao Yuan finally reconciled, and that Brother Chun and his son were kicked out of Mr. Miao's house.
He also said that some people often see Brother Chun in the town recently, and they don't know what people are running around.
Do you know that your reputation in the village is not good, and you want to go to the town to find a bad guy
But you can't be like this, it's a lie! When an aunt heard it, she went to talk to her aunt and had a big fight.
At this time, it was also around Qingming. It's the time for the green plum harvest.
After a few cold spring rains, the weather is gradually warming up. The fruit trees planted in the back mountain are also competing for green shoots and green leaves. Miao He was originally worried that she was too good-looking to be suspected, but when she saw Second Aunt Yang, who came often, she didn't have the slightest doubt, and she finally felt relieved in the bottom of her heart.
There are not many green plum trees, just a small piece. But depending on the nourishing ability of the soil, each tree is full of fruit, and it is also very round and large. If you want to take it all down, I am afraid that dozens of big baskets will not be able to escape.
However, because plum fruit is dangerous to eat raw, it is poisonous if it is not fully cooked, so it must be processed and pickled. He didn't know how to process Miao He, and he didn't want to easily waste the good fruits grown in the soil, so Yang Dalang first brought a blue fruit to the restaurant's gold shopkeeper, and consulted the dessert chef for a round before starting.
After consulting, they decided on two options. The first is pickled crispy plums. After picking the fruit, first flood it with salt, then wash and soak it with water to remove the astringency and bitterness, and then air it until it is completely dry. After a few days, you can get crispy plums with a crisp taste, sweet and sour taste, and a beautiful light green color.
The plums can also be sold as desserts in teahouses. And if there are the rest that cannot be sold, Miao He plans to use all of them to make plum vinegar. Just use plums and mussels for a year. This is the best way to consume excess plums, and you are not afraid to keep them for a long time.
Because of the complicated procedures, this time, I hired Aunt Lin, Aunt Liu, Aunt Ma, Aunt Yu, and Aunt Fang, who was introduced by Aunt Yu (Chen Rong has to raise a baby now, so she didn't come), every two days. Ten dollars to help with fruit picking, cleaning, soaking, and pickling. The location was chosen in the row of longhouses newly built in winter, which can also be said to be the prototype of a fruit workshop.
After all, the necks of Mantou and Wotou couldn't stand up or carry them on their backs. If the baby was put in the house for the second aunt to see, and he was all busy outside, Miao He himself would be reluctant. Therefore, the supervisor Miao He, besides coaxing the baby, also helps people roast potatoes and sweet potatoes, prepare tea and peanuts, as easy as when she was pregnant.
Several aunts are also very happy, they have long heard that it is good to eat in Dalang's house, and this eating is well-deserved! ! Miao He also didn't mind if he wanted to buy it back for the baby to eat. Three or five potatoes and sweet potatoes were given away as favors from neighbors.
On this day, the first batch of crispy plums was finally marinated, and Miao He opened the urn with great enthusiasm.
He didn't make this kind of snack before, this was the first time, so he was very curious about the taste.
I picked a crispy plum soaked in sugar water that was moist, plump, and sparkling, and took a bite! The pulp of the elastic teeth also has a "reliable" taste, and the translucent pulp is full of crispness! Sour and sweet taste, especially rich and fragrant plum aroma! The delicious food made Miao He sigh, and he quickly chewed one bite after another.
It was the steamed buns and wotou lying on the side. At this moment, the black eyeballs like grapes also turned straight, and the small mouth moved, as if smelling this sweet and sour fragrance, it was a little noisy.
After Miao He stuffed one into Yang Dalang's mouth, he picked a plum and put it on the tip of Liangwazi's nose. Just to see the little nose shrugged immediately.
"Can you really smell it?" Miao He was curious.
Before Yang Dalang could answer, the steamed bun opened his mouth with an "Ouch"! ! That toothless little mouth immediately had a plum on the side! ! But Miao He was startled and stopped!
And the steamed bun that licked a bite was stunned for a while, his round eyes stared, and then the whole one twisted up, screaming as if he knew it was delicious. So his brother made a noise, too, ooh. Can't even coax.
"This kid, he must also like to eat when he grows up," Miao He was self-sufficient, not knowing whether to laugh or cry at the moment.
In the end, it was Yang Dalang who made the ultimate move. Hold the brothers together in arms. Put the two next to each other. They seem to like this, squeezing together and being held by Dad. However, only Yang Dalang could hold it so firmly, Miao He couldn't help it, so it became a nirvana to coax children.
And Miao He felt warm every time he watched it. Yang Dalang, who is holding the baby, is reliable and gentle.
So he also came over with plums.
Putting another plum into his mouth, Miao He said with a smile. "You coax them, I coax you."
Yang Dalang actually turned his head and said, "It's not like that."
Miao He was stunned for a moment, and then found that people had been staring at his mouth.
His face turned red again.
But Yang Dalang kept watching, and lowered his head slightly.
Miao He's face was hot, and finally he tooted what he wanted.
Gentle, cherished, sweet.
Like every time before, it made Miao He dizzy.
—
The pickled crispy plums have no doubt passed the acceptance of the gold shopkeeper this time, and immediately ordered ten urns!
However, before Shopkeeper Jin made an additional order, Miao He also imagined that she would try to sell a crispy plum gift box that could be brought home, just like the previous cold cake. In this way, they can continue to build their brand loyalty, and at the same time, it can be regarded as helping the restaurant to advertise more.
Think about it, when people go home after eating at the restaurant, if they think it's delicious, they can at most praise others for a word or two. If you want to take a box of crispy plums home or give it away, people will ask where you bought them after eating, and you will definitely be impressed. It's a matter of mutual benefit, and shopkeeper Jin quickly agreed to sell it on behalf of him.
It's just the packaging that takes some brains. After all, the cost of using a porcelain urn will jump significantly, but it is impossible, and the pickled plums have to be sold together with the sugar juice.
However, this kind of food that can only be used as a snack, can the high-end consumption in the town really eat it? Yang Dalang saw that the younger brother hesitated for several days with the money urn in his arms, he nodded, and ordered fifty small urns, and immediately spent 10 taels of silver. Miao He can be distressed.
However, when the finished product is brought, it is packed in a beautiful small urn, the oil paper seal is perfectly tight, and then a seal with its own pattern is attached, which has both unpacking and anti-counterfeiting functions, and can last longer during storage. Miao He's distressed Not so much, and hurriedly asked, "How much can this urn be sold for?"
Calculating the cost of sugar and artificially adding oily paper in a small urn, it is also faster than 50 cents of silver. The two of them took out the price they sold to the teahouse and figured it out. Well, it seems that it is still possible to sell star anise silver!
And if you want to set the price of anise silver, it means that you can make 15 taels by selling all 50 pieces! It may not sound like much, but this is still the first green plum harvested. Until the day after the Qingming Festival turns hot, you can still pick two or three fruits.
Just as Miao Hele was diligently counting the money, the doorbell and bangs rang outside.
Yang Dalang touched Miao He's head and got up to greet him.
After returning, he brought a few unexpected guests, Mr. Qu, Xu Ming, and a strange young man.
Xu Ming, who was one year older, was a little taller, but with thick eyebrows and big eyes, in Miao He's eyes, he was still childish. An older young man beside him, with his facial features a bit like him, should be a brother, and this person is not so handsome, but has a unique temperament. Steady and gentle, but also has a temperament that makes people feel like a spring breeze.
Mr. Qu first smiled and said, "Long time no see, Brother He, are you all right? I also introduced them to Brother Yang just now. These two are brothers from the Xu family, the eldest brother Xu Huan, and the younger brother Xu Ming. Brother He should still remember them. I bought the mountain next door to you not long ago, and knowing that I am familiar with you, I asked the old man to formally introduce one or two."
Xu Ming cupped his hands when he heard the words, and his expression was serious. "Hello brother He, I happened to move to the neighborhood, so I came to say hello to my elder brother. I'm bothering you."
… just happened to be moving nearby
OS in Miao He's heart: If you don't stare at the crispy plum on the table and say this, I'm more convinced.
