The restaurant learned the recipe. His father-in-law was not in town in the middle of winter. Zhang Sanzhuang had some guesses and was too embarrassed to go to the Qiao family. He went home and sent all the children out before telling his family.
Mrs. Zhang's face darkened after hearing this, but she didn't say anything unpleasant because she was concerned about Sun's belly.
Butcher Zhang's face darkened. "We must give the Qiao family an explanation for this matter."
Yang felt a little guilty, so she secretly gave some braised soup to her nephew and asked her mother to go home and cook meat.
She supported the flustered Sun and whispered in defense of her sister-in-law, "Even if they learn it, it's not as authentic as Awan's. We must be more careful in the future. Awan won't mind."
Madam Zhang didn't even bother to look at Yang's guilty and foolish expression. She turned to look at Yu and asked, "Do you think so too?"
As the eldest daughter-in-law, Yu was the best at reading her mother-in-law's expressions. She quickly shook her head and said, "Awan has a lot of recipes. If she can come up with one, she can make us rich. We can't take advantage of her good temper and get ahead of her."
The Zhang family can all see the nature of Miao Caishen. If you are good to her, she will be twice as good to you in return.
But this is not an excuse for being bullied by kind people. Being ungrateful will only destroy your own future.
The father and son of the Qiao family were also discussing this issue.
Seeing Miao Wan gathered around the earthenware jar next to the stove in the main room, almost jumping for joy, both father and son couldn't help but smile happily.
"Your wife has the recipes for braised food and spicy soup in her hands, but she taught the Zhang family the recipe for milk cubes. Your mother said that she will tell the Zhang family anything that is not excessive." Qiao Shengwen and Geng thought the same thing. It is the Qiao family's fortune to marry such a kind-hearted daughter-in-law.
"The Zhang family seems fine now, but they have a lot of family members. As the saying goes, a little kindness can turn into a grudge."
Qiao Ruichen nodded. "I got Awan's consent earlier and exchanged a lot of information with merchants from Northern Mongolia about the recipe for the milk block. While Chen Maowu is not in the northwest, I will try to find the evidence as soon as possible."
If we suppress the Chen Guogong Mansion sooner, no matter what the future of the Qiao family will be, it will not be bad at all, and we can use our own people to do things then.
In fact, Miao Wan was not careless, but for her, milk cubes can be made by boiling, and the shelf life is only one month at most. The live broadcast app does not charge any fees, so she did not take it seriously.
The Zhang family works harder than the Qiao family, so this is considered an employee benefit.
But if anyone thinks that she is easy to bully, they are wrong. She also grew up through hardships and does not have such a heart as a saint.
Compared to milk cubes, of course milk tofu, which can be stored for a year or even two years after drying, is more profitable!
She didn't mention this to the Zhang family.
To make milk tofu, you just need to seal the goat milk for two days.
When Qiao Shengwen and his son came back to liven up the atmosphere, she was busy making spicy skewers and forgot about this matter again.
It was only when Qiao Ruichen reminded her that she remembered.
Thinking that it would be more likely to work at a lower temperature, she opened the can at the bedroom door first. Unfortunately, the goat milk had gone bad and smelled bad after opening it.
Miao Wan was a little frustrated. This was the place with the most balanced temperature she could think of. If it really didn't work, she would have to wait until the weather got warmer and try again.
Unexpectedly, when she opened the earthenware jar next to the stove without holding back, she found that the milk tofu was not ready, but she smelled a rich sour fragrance!
This is old yogurt!
Miao Wan was ecstatic, and the baby in her belly also joined in the fun. She laughed and covered her belly with her hands, and her repeated cries prompted Qiao Ruichen, who had come out to watch nervously, to get a wooden spoon and a coarse porcelain bowl.
After the yogurt was served, Miao Wan couldn't wait to take a big sip.
"Wow! It's delicious!" she exclaimed with her eyes narrowed.
The smooth old yogurt enters your mouth, and the milky aroma is richer than normal yogurt, mixed with a hint of sweetness. The layering is much richer than ordinary yogurt, and the taste is more tender and smoother than tofu pudding.
She had everyone in her family try it. Qiao Ruichen didn't feel anything, but Qiao Shengwen and his wife and Qiao Rui loved the taste.
There is half a can of old yogurt left, so there will be an endless supply of yogurt in the future, and you don’t have to wait for the goat milk to ferment to make milk tofu.
Just add yogurt into it and place it in the main room. It will ferment successfully in 24 hours.
When she thought about the various ways to eat yogurt products and milk tofu, and how much money these two things could be exchanged for, if it weren't for her baby holding her down to steady herself, she would have jumped up with joy.
She urged Qiao Ruichen to go out and buy goat milk, "If cow's milk is for sale, buy a bucket too. Yogurt made from cow's milk tastes even better!"
She was so happy that her voice started to jump as she spoke, making Geng and Qiao Rui laugh.
After Qiao Ruichen bought the milk that Miao Wan requested, he called a mule cart and brought back the custom-made earthenware jars as well.
With the help of Qiao Ruichen, a strong athlete, the milk was poured into clean earthenware jars, yogurt was poured on and sealed, and it was done quickly and piled in the corner of the main room.
After finishing it, it’s almost time to make lunch.
As Geng entered the kitchen, Butcher Zhang and his wife came over with their three sons and daughters-in-law.
Butcher Zhang's face was filled with guilt. "Awan, Ada and Am are sorry for you. Someone stole the braised pork recipe. How much is the recipe worth? Ada will compensate you."
As a craftsman, Butcher Zhang knew very well how disgusting it was to have his skills stolen.
Once a daughter-in-law marries into the family, she becomes a member of the Zhang family, and the Zhang family will shoulder the responsibilities that they should shoulder.
Qiao Ruichen, who was talking to his father in the room, raised his eyebrows and looked at his father. What he said really came true.
It was a very cold day, and before Miao Wan could let the person in, Qiao Ruichen came out.
He followed Miao Wan's instructions, "Ada, Amu, brothers and sisters-in-law, my father is not feeling well, please come inside and talk."
Madam Zhang sighed, glanced at Yang and Sun who were lowering their heads, and sneered in her heart. The Qiao family is not without a pillar now, and it is time for her two daughters-in-law to adjust their mindsets.
As expected, after entering the house and waiting for the two families to finish exchanging greetings, Qiao Ruichen helped Miao Wan sit aside and signaled her with his eyes not to speak.
Qiao Shengwen smiled and bowed to Butcher Zhang, "Brother, please don't talk about compensation. Without your care, my family wouldn't be able to live in peace until now. Even if something went wrong, as long as it wasn't intentional, just let it go for the first time."
These words were pleasant to the ear, and the Zhang family members' expressions relaxed a little, but they were still nervous. The head of the Qiao family seemed to have hidden meaning in his words.
Qiao Shengwen first asked everyone to sit on the edge of the kang before continuing, "Awan has adopted the Zhang family as her godparents, so we are considered a family. To be honest, my wife has had a hard life. She was bullied by her father's family growing up, and she received very little kindness. If anyone treats her well, she would repay them with a thousand kindnesses. It's really heartbreaking."
Butcher Zhang was terribly embarrassed. "My family was wrong in this matter. Don't worry, Brother Qiao. This kind of thing will never happen again."
Qiao Shengwen waved his hands, not sternly, with a smile on his face. It was so funny that Yang and Sun, who were trying to explain, felt a chill in their hearts and could not utter a word.
He sighed, his face gloomy. "If it weren't for me, the women in my family wouldn't have to live such a hard life. How could Awan, a daughter who married out, bear the reputation of being unfilial and use her in-laws' prescriptions? Although I am guilty now, justice is clear. I believe that the saints will see through everything. In the future, I will definitely go to the Ruan family to make amends."
The Zhang family was even more uneasy. Not to mention whether Qiao Shengwen would ever be reinstated, Miao Wan was responsible for the bad reputation of making money for them and misusing her family's ancestral recipes. And they still... were really guilty.
Sun's face turned pale. Zhang Sanzhuang sighed in his heart and held her hand tightly. Since they were husband and wife, they had to share the burden. In the future, they had to work hard and serve Awan to make up for their mistakes.
When the couple was feeling uneasy, Qiao Shengwen continued, "My little daughter doesn't know the ways of the world. She only wants to be filial to us and my brother and sister-in-law. But as the elders, we can't help but feel sorry for her. We still need to have some rules in the future. What do you think..."
Butcher Zhang took a deep breath and looked at Qiao Shengwen seriously. "Brother, I'll do you a favor. I'll split the profits 40% for the Zhang family and 60% for the Qiao family. Brother Qiao, please don't refuse. The business between the two families will be decided by Brother Qiao and Awan. I'm putting it this way: if anyone is careless, crooked, or greedy, the Zhang family will not tolerate him."
Yang and Sun were shocked all over, and even Yu couldn't help but feel nervous and didn't dare to be careless anymore.
Miao Wan looked at her father-in-law with admiration. If it were her, she would probably just give the Zhang family a warning and ask them to be more strict with Fangzi in the future. But her father-in-law made the Zhang family feel guilty with just a few words and turned them all into workers.
They are going to develop from a small workshop into a company!
Her stomach moved suddenly. Miao Wan touched her belly and said, "Oh, mom knows. Grandpa is super handsome, right? She wants to call him dad too!"
According to the charter, Qiao Shengwen still had to discuss the matter with his daughter-in-law, so he first asked about the specific situation.
Zhang Sanzhuang immediately stood up and told the whole story, including his guesses. He said guiltily, "Uncle Qiao, Awan, let my second brother and I take care of the stall."
He gritted his teeth and said, "I've seen the braised food in the street restaurants. It doesn't look like ours, and it doesn't smell as good as the spicy skewers. I'm going to make them suffer."
When Miao Wan saw her father-in-law looking at her, she immediately sat up straight with bright eyes and smiled very obediently, "I believe Third Sister-in-law didn't mean it. Her Ada is still the chef at the restaurant. Sages always emphasize filial piety when governing a country. We can praise the restaurant on this street to the customers who come to the stall and help them attract more customers."
Zhang Sanzhuang and even Zhang Niangzi were stunned. Why?
If someone slaps you, do you move to the other side and let them slap you evenly?
Sun was so excited that tears fell from her eyes. She really didn't want to reveal the recipe. The reason why she gave it to Am without any precautions was that, like her second sister-in-law, she wanted Am to cook some meat at home, which would be cheaper.
She, Ada, would never steal someone else's recipe and sell it for money. If Ada wanted the recipe, she would definitely buy it openly.
As for her mother... Sun's tears fell even harder. Her own mother was considerate to her young sister-in-law, which made Sun feel guilty and touched.
Qiao Shengwen and his son understood what was said, and a smile flashed in their eyes. The little girl was mean and naughty.
Miao Wan smiled and continued to remind, "If the customer wants to taste the delicious food from the street restaurant but can't give up the spicy skewers, Third Brother can definitely provide delivery on demand for the sake of the former owner's kindness and filial piety."
Oh, as for the spicy skewers delivered to the restaurant on the street that make people lose their appetite, well, there are such great chefs in the restaurant, just keep pulling out your hair and learn from them.
Miao Wan never thought that she was the only one who could make braised food. There were many great chefs in the world, and she had even seen masters who could estimate the seasonings just by relying on their nose.
She doesn't mind others following her trend, and the more the better. Only when the market is flowing can money flow in continuously.
Customers may be fickle, but they will never let go of the leader of innovation.
In spring, you can enjoy crystal meat barbecue with milk tea; in summer, you can enjoy barbecue with iced drinks; in autumn, you can enjoy hot pot with dessert; in winter, in addition to spicy skewers, you can also enjoy spicy hot pot, boiled pork slices, and oil-splashed noodles...
The shoulders of giants are strong enough, she is just worried that they are not learning fast enough.
Zhang Sanzhuang's eyes lit up, as if a new door had opened in front of him.
He grinned and chuckled, "Awan is right. We really can't make things difficult for our father-in-law. I'm familiar with the dishes at the restaurant down the street. I'm sure I'll praise them enough to send customers there."
The author has something to say:
Qiao Shengwen: My daughter-in-law has a kind character.
Qiao Ruichen: Yes, my wife is kind.
Zhang Sanzhuang: My sister is right, we should be filial!
Others: ...Yes!
Street Restaurant:...Pooh!
