Seven or eight sausages of different colors, but all equally fragrant, were placed on the table.
Not to mention Jiang Sheng, even Wang Xiaosong was surprised.
His mother only left him one recipe.
Zhang Xianglian explained in a soft voice, "I forgot to add Sichuan peppercorns and black pepper that day, and I found that different seasonings have a great impact on the intestines."
But as long as the production method is correct and the saltiness is just right, the sausage isn't actually that bad.
Seasonings only determine the flavor.
For example, the sausage that Jiang Sheng is holding now only has peppercorns but no Sichuan peppercorns or sugar. It retains enough spiciness and has the unique salty aroma of Chinese sausage. It's a bit pungent, but you'll want to have another bite after you finish it.
There's also a version without any chili peppers, but with lots of sugar. The dried sausages have a sweet fragrance, and they taste incredibly delicious when cooked with rice.
Or you could add both Sichuan peppercorns and black pepper, but without sugar...
There was even a sausage with garlic water, scallions, and ginger, which had a garlicky flavor that was unforgettable after just one bite.
There were seven or eight different kinds of things, which, in the eyes of people from Sichuan, would probably make them faint with anger.
But in Jiang Sheng's view, these are all recipes. Although only three are outstanding, who would complain about having more flavors?
"Auntie is truly amazing." She didn't forget to turn around and praise the hero, "With Auntie around, it would be difficult for the workshop not to grow bigger and stronger."
Zhang Xianglian smiled shyly.
She was still the same person, speaking softly and acting with meticulous gentleness, but she seemed different. At least when faced with Xiao Jiangsheng's praise, she no longer shrank back or showed fear, but accepted it generously.
Zhang Qiquan nudged Liu Cui and muttered, "I remember Xiao Jiangsheng saying that the workshop depends on me."
Liu Cui glared at him fiercely and pinched the soft flesh on her waist.
Zhang Qiquan became honest.
From April to May, for a whole month, he helped Zheng Ruqian buy land and hire people to grow green beans.
During this time, his heart was always with the workshops in the prefectural city.
Although the cured meat business was forced to stop, the workshop was of great significance to Zhang Qiquan and his wife, as well as to Aunt Zhang.
That was a turning point in their lives, and the starting point for their new life. After leaving their homeland for various reasons, Fucheng became their new hometown.
Now, all the green beans have been planted in the ground, and the day laborers have all been paid and gone home.
Zhang Qiquan coughed twice, forcibly changing the subject, "Master, when are we going back to the prefectural city?"
Jiang Sheng and Zheng Ruqian turned around at the same time.
In fact, both of these men were Zhang Qiquan's employers.
Zheng Ruqian signed him with a tenth of the profits from the workshop in the prefectural city, but the recipe for cured meat was leaked and the workshop was exposed. After that, he returned to Xieyang County to grow green beans.
The small courtyard with flowers in its hair was later given to Jiang Sheng. The young girl refused to close the workshop and even racked her brains to find a recipe for cured meat, trying to revive the workshop.
Zhang Qiquan didn't know who his real employer was either, so he could only gesture for everyone to take a look.
Zheng Ruqian looked on in surprise, seemingly not expecting that the dilapidated workshop could be reopened.
Jiang Sheng was overjoyed, nodding her little head like a chopping knife, "Great, great! Auntie's sausages are so delicious, they'll definitely sell for even more than cured pork."
However, the recipe for this sausage must be kept a closely guarded secret and cannot be easily revealed to outsiders.
"Don't worry about that." Zhang Qiquan smiled happily. "A person can't slip in the same place twice. If the formula is leaked again this time, I, Zhang Laosan, will retire and go back to my hometown."
The group began to discuss enthusiastically how to keep the recipe a secret and how to sell the sausages.
With cured pork as a foundation, even if sausage is a new product, there will definitely be people willing to try it.
However, before that, we need to send a few kilograms to Manager Bai, Magistrate Pang, Magistrate Bian, and the Prefect.
"Since the green beans have just been planted, I'll reluctantly accompany Xiao Jiangsheng to the prefectural city. If the workshop doesn't get off the ground, and we still need my connections, you'll have to ask me for a favor." Zheng Ruqian was incredibly proud.
If it were Fang Heng, he would definitely punch him twice.
But who is Jiang Sheng? She immediately rushed over and hugged his arm, saying in a coquettish tone, "Second brother is the best. Second brother, please help me sell it to Youranju, okay?"
Who can resist a sweet and soft little sister?
Zheng Ruqian surrendered, "Okay, okay, I'll sell them to you, anywhere is fine, I'll sell them to wherever I deliver vegetables."
Jiang Sheng was overjoyed. She stood on tiptoe and gave her second brother a quick kiss on the cheek.
The other brothers were green with envy, lamenting that they didn't have as many connections as the two elders, Zheng and his brother.
Although the siblings don't even share the same name, they have a truly close relationship.
Wang Xiaosong held his sister's hand tightly, hesitating whether to leave quietly or say goodbye before leaving.
I've been living and eating in the courtyard for more than half a month. Would it be inappropriate to leave abruptly?
But the sausages were already made, and it seemed like the siblings had no reason to stay any longer.
"Brother, I like it here." Wang Xiaozhu looked up, her eyes clear as water. "Can we stay?"
Wang Xiaosong's heart skipped a beat.
If they're not leaving, what reason do they have to stay?
As if hearing his innermost thoughts, Zheng Ruqian was pushed out by Jiang Sheng, rubbing his nose and saying, "I still need someone to deliver vegetables, or you can stay in the workshop to make sausages."
Wang Xiaosong looked up in astonishment, unable to believe it.
"If you deliver vegetables with me, you'll earn two taels of silver a year. If you work in the workshop, you'll earn five copper coins a day. You can choose whichever you prefer, but you'll all need to sign a contract," Zheng Ruqian said patiently.
Wang Xiaosong fell silent. He stared intently at Jiang Sheng, then suddenly lowered his head and said, "Actually, I don't remember the taste of the sausage. I stayed because I didn't want my sister to wander with me. I lied to you. I'm sorry."
Saying these words makes me feel really good.
I thought Jiang Sheng would be angry, or at the very least, she would say something to criticize me.
Unexpectedly, the little girl just smiled at him and said, "Brother Xiaosong didn't ask for money when he gave me the sausage recipe, so what's wrong with me letting you stay for a few days?"
Wang Xiaosong was startled, then exhaled and felt completely relieved.
Jiang Sheng brought a doctor to revive his mother. Out of gratitude, the doctor gave him a recipe for sausages. In return, Jiang Sheng invited the siblings to stay and eat. This was a cycle of kindness.
Now, Jiang Sheng and her brother have given them the opportunity to work and earn money. With this cycle of kindness, he must do his best to live up to the kindness of Jiang Sheng and her brother.
"Master."
Wang Xiaosong and his sister bowed and said, "We will be grateful for your care from now on."
