Chapter 815 Going Home
Shopkeeper Qin had seen the Prince ginseng samples they sent, and they were of excellent quality.
There is also Panax notoginseng, but it can only be harvested next year.
Even the output from those two acres of Gastrodia elata and two acres of Radix Pseudostellariae could bring her nearly ten thousand taels of silver.
Shopkeeper Qin tried his best to persuade them to continue expanding the scale of medicinal material cultivation. Qiao Xuan was also quite tempted, but due to lack of manpower, the stall could not be expanded too wide at once.
Besides, she will go to Beijing with Shao Yunduan next spring, so this matter will have to be put on hold for the time being.
Shopkeeper Qin felt very sorry.
After leaving Shopkeeper Qin's place, the two went to buy meat.
Qiao Xuan has to cook in the evening.
Today, I finally broke off relations with Mrs. Qiao and most of my relationship with Lord Qiao. This is really cause for celebration and of course we have to celebrate.
Fortunately, there is beef for sale today.
Because it is rare, the price of beef is quite expensive, but it is only sold once in a long time, so business is still good.
A few restaurants alone bought up more than half of the goods. Fortunately, they arrived not too late, otherwise there would be nothing left.
If you buy it now and store it properly, it won't go bad for three or four days. Qiao Xuan immediately and decisively bought about 30 kilograms of beef tenderloin, beef brisket, beef shank, and beef brisket.
"We have all kinds of spices at home. We can make braised beef with shanks, braise beef brisket and beef brisket with carrots and tomatoes, and put tenderloin in hot pot or stir-fry or pan-fry. Let's just have beef hot pot tonight! How about making some beef meatballs?"
Cut the beef into thin slices, put it into a spicy pot or clear soup pot and blanch it for a few seconds before eating. It is fresh and tender.
The beef balls are crispy and elastic, tender and chewy, making them a great choice for hot pot.
Just thinking about the taste makes one salivate.
Qiao Xuan asked Shao Yunduan with great interest, and Shao Yunduan of course smiled and said yes.
It seems like I haven’t eaten hotpot for a long time, it really makes me miss it!
Then I bought a few pork bones and a piece of pork belly. I boiled the pork bones into soup as the hot pot soup base, chopped the pork belly, mixed it with lotus root paste, and kneaded it into lotus root balls. I fried them in a pan and ate them while adding them to the hot pot.
I had originally planned to go to Zhangjia Village, but since I wanted to eat hotpot, I decided not to go.
It’s okay to go in two days.
When they got home and heard that they would have hotpot in the evening, Yang Xiaoni, Shao Sanlang, Taotao, Xiaoqi and others were all very happy and started to get busy dividing the profits.
To make beef balls, you need to pound the beef into a paste, which requires arm strength and endurance. I have done it once before, and this time it was still Xiaoqi's job.
It's funny that last time, Shao Sanlang volunteered to do the job at the beginning, thinking that no one else could do such heavy work except himself.
Soon both arms were so sore that they couldn't lift them. Xiao Qi took over while laughing at the third brother, and completed the task with ease, which surprised everyone.
And the unfortunate Shao Sanlang's arms were so sore during his dinner that the chopsticks he used to pick up food were shaking!
Today, he no longer wants to take the lead.
His hands were shaking when he was holding the chopsticks while eating, which was too cruel for a foodie like him.
The hot pot in the evening was very rich, with beef balls, lotus root balls, fish balls, beef, squid, shrimp balls, egg dumplings, vermicelli, bean curd, fried bean curd skin, shiitake mushrooms, lettuce slices, winter melon slices, yam slices, lettuce, wolfberry sprouts, etc., as well as fresh dragon fruit, oranges, and grapes.
The beef was tender and delicious. It had been a long time since I had the chance to eat it, so this hotpot was even more rare. Everyone finally had a great time.
