Chapter 8: Twice-cooked Pork with Garlic Sprouts

If you meet someone who is generous, you won't care too much, but you will definitely not get any extra treatment in terms of food, clothing and other expenses.

If you meet someone with a mean heart, it is common for him to be stingy with your food and drink expenses.

Although the girl is favored by the Second Master, the Master is outside all day and doesn't understand the twists and turns in the backyard. She may let the Second Master take charge if she cries to him, but she can't tell him everything, and most of the time she can only swallow her anger.

When that time really comes, if you have money in your hand, you can barely get by. But if you don’t even have money and have to watch the mistress of the house pay you the monthly allowance, that would be really sad.

"Yes, that's true." The more Mother Liu thought about it, the more she felt that what Ai Cao said made sense.

"Yeah, that's the case." Ai Cao raised his chin, "Otherwise, when Concubine Guo entered the mansion, she was able to live so comfortably and win over a group of people. That was all because of the money in her pocket."

"I think it would be a great thing for the girl to earn more money for herself. Then we can help her run the business in the yard and have more confidence."

With money in my pocket, I won’t be worried!

Ai Cao has always believed in this truth.

Mother Liu smiled and nodded, but she teased Ai Cao again, "Not bad, you can be considered smart for once."

"How could that be possible? I've always had a very sharp mind." Ai Cao laughed, "That's the truth. I've made enough money. Even if the Second Master doesn't take our girl back in the future..."

There is also something to rely on.

"Pah, pah, what are you talking about."

Before Ai Cao could finish her words, Mother Liu quickly covered her mouth and said, "You cursed girl."

No matter how much money you make, your future won’t be as good as following the Second Master.

When Ai Cao heard what Mother Liu said, she realized that what she said was wrong. She spit several times and stomped on the ground she had just spit on. Only then did she feel at ease and continued to wash the dishes with Mother Liu.

Su Yujin, who was already asleep, had no idea of ​​the thoughts and plans of the two people below. After waking up, she just looked at the various vegetables growing vigorously in the yard and planned what she wanted to cook in the evening.

After all, the craftsmanship of Mama Liu and Fuyunlou is really...

It's just enough to fill my stomach.

If you eat this kind of food every day, it would be really unbearable.

It’s just that the cucumbers and tomatoes in the vegetable garden are not yet ripe. The only things growing well are the two bunches of garlic sprouts and that small piece of spinach.

Su Yujin thought about it, pulled out a few garlic sprouts, plucked some spinach, cut a handful of leeks, asked Liu Mama and Ai Cao to pick and wash them, and then told them to buy a piece of pork belly, bean paste, and some rice wine.

Add some rice wine when cooking the pork belly, slice it after it is cooked, stir-fry it with bean paste and lard, and then stir-fry it with garlic sprouts to make garlic sprout twice-cooked pork. It looks bright in color, smells fragrant, and tastes fatty but not greasy, fresh, spicy and delicious.

The spinach is blanched, cut into sections, and mixed with fried peanuts, minced garlic, and aged vinegar to make the old vinegar spinach. The astringency of spinach is removed, leaving only the fresh fragrance. It is paired with peanuts, which is tender and crispy, just right.

Scrambled eggs with leeks is a very common home-cooked dish, but when making it, you need to fry the leeks first, and then pour the beaten eggs into the hot pan. The eggs fried in this way will be fresh, tender and fragrant, and perfectly blend with the unique spicy flavor of leeks.

After these three dishes were served, Ai Cao and Mother Liu nodded frequently at first, and then they praised them after tasting them.

"The girl's craftsmanship is truly amazing." said Mother Liu.

"Of course it is. It's almost the same as what's in the restaurant..." Ai Cao said halfway, and quickly changed the subject, "It's even better than what's in the restaurant. With your cooking skills, you can open a restaurant."

You're saying bad things again! I should say that this skill will definitely satisfy my stomach.

How can running a restaurant be as serious as inviting the Second Master to come?

Mother Liu secretly gave Ai Cao a fierce look.

"You need the capital to open a restaurant. Now is not the right time." Su Yujin smiled and said, "Let's make plans when we have more money."

When Mother Liu heard this, her body trembled violently.

This girl really plans to expand her business... - Business at the wonton stall is going on as usual.

The wontons are delicious, and the noodles with soybean paste are equally good. The business is as booming as the sun at this time of year.

Ai Cao is a man of vigor and determination. In the past two days, he has found several suitable people to work at the wonton stall. After discussing with Mother Liu, he finally brought Feng to Su Yujin and asked her to make the decision.

Su Yujin has been staying in Shuanggui Lane for several months. She has gotten to know some of the people living in the lane and knows their temperaments and personalities.

Therefore, Su Yujin had some understanding of the Feng family.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

My father-in-law died early, leaving me with only my mother-in-law. My husband is the only child and works as a boatman at the dock, doing some moving and lifting work. I have three children, two sons and one daughter. The eldest son is fourteen years old and has followed my husband to work at the dock. The second daughter and the youngest daughter are twins, a boy and a girl, who are ten years old this year. They make a living by making cake boxes for people at home.

Her mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, had suffered a stroke the year before last and was now paralyzed in bed, taking medicine all the time. There were two sons in the family and there would be a lot of expenses in the future, so Mrs. Feng was naturally willing to find another way to make a living.

Feng was an honest and hardworking person. He kept his house very clean inside and out. Most importantly, he always had a smile on his face, which made him quite likable. His neighbors had a good impression of him.

Su Yujin also had a good impression of Feng, so she nodded immediately and decided to hire Feng to work at the wonton stall.

Responsible for cooking and wrapping wontons, and washing dishes after closing the stall.

The monthly salary is 500 wen, and the probation period is one month, 400 wen during the probation period.

Feng's husband and eldest son worked at the dock. The two of them together only earned one or two taels of silver a month, but she alone earned five hundred coins, which was equivalent to a laborer. Moreover, she worked right at the doorstep, so the work was not too hard.

Apparently she had not expected to get so much pay, and Feng happily agreed to the offer. She repeatedly assured Su Yujin that she would do the job well. After returning home, she filled a basket with onions grown in the vegetable garden and stuffed it into Mother Liu's hands.

"I don't have anything good at home. Since it's a wonton stall, I think these onions can be used. I'll bring some over. Aunt Liu, please help me talk to Miss Su and ask her not to dislike them."

The words were sincere, and since Feng was offered such a high salary, her daughter was somewhat kind-hearted. Mother Liu exchanged a few polite words and did not refuse too much, so she accepted the money.

He turned around and said something to Su Yujin.

Su Yujin smiled and said, "He is a simple and honest person."

"Yes, the bamboo basket is stuffed full, for fear of appearing dishonest." Mother Liu also echoed, "It depends on how the work is done. Tomorrow morning, I will call the person over to learn the craft first."
