Upon hearing this, everyone wanted to buy some, while some more cautious ones bought a dumpling and a pancake.
Fortunately, the allure of savory savory pancakes is undeniable, and quite a few people still choose to buy them. Otherwise, with the introduction of meat-flavored dumplings, no one would want to eat these pancakes anymore.
These people came in waves, and soon the basket was empty.
Sales were really good today; they sold out quickly. Pei Yuezhi planned to take a stroll around and think about where to open a small shop in the future.
Although I don't earn much now, the initial investment is very low. When I develop a better dish, I can sell the recipe, just like in those online novels I've read.
I'm a bit tight on money right now, so I'll wait until I have some savings before thinking about anything else. Luckily, there are a lot of things in the mall, so I can save some money.
As they were walking, they took a slight turn and entered a side alley. Suddenly, a small dog darted out, jumped to Pei Yuezhi's legs, rubbed against her, and stood behind her.
Pei Yue was startled.
"Little dog, don't run away!" A clear, gentle male voice rang out, followed by a man in a blue robe emerging from the alley.
Upon seeing someone there, the man, realizing his abruptness, bowed with his hands clasped in greeting. His back was straight, and he was tall and slender. The movements were fluid and graceful, a model of proper etiquette.
The man was extremely handsome, with well-proportioned bone structure, delicate eyebrows and eyes, fair skin, and an aura as steadfast as pine and bamboo.
Seeing that Pei Yuezhi did not speak, the man raised his head slightly in confusion.
"Sister? What are you doing here?"
Huh? Pei Yuezhi was just admiring the beauty, but this "elder sister" made her dizzy.
"Yunzhi, it's you. Your sister is making money selling food in town and was just about to go home."
Before I could even react, I realized that this was none other than Pei Yunzhi, the original owner's younger brother. What a coincidence to run into him here.
When Pei Yunzhi saw his sister, he gave a slightly shy smile: "I copied the book and took it to the bookstore to sell for money. When I got back, I saw this little dog. It was dirty and looked like no one had taken care of it. I thought about giving it something to eat, but it seemed to like my sister more."
Looking at the dry, hard pancake in Pei Yunzhi's hand, it's no wonder the puppy wouldn't want to eat it.
At first, Pei Yunzhi didn't know what to say, but when he saw his sister, he seemed to have endless things to say. First, he asked about how his sister was doing lately in various ways, and then he asked about the children. He seemed to miss his sister very much.
Pei Yuezhi interrupted him, "Yunzhi, come home with your sister for a meal. You haven't seen the two children in a long time."
Hearing that he was invited back for dinner, Pei Yunzhi's eyes lit up, but he also seemed a little hesitant: "Ever since my brother-in-law passed away, my sister hasn't had an easy time either. I should be helping her out more, but our family..."
In fact, after Fan Xiuyuan passed away, the original owner was in a daze. Pei Yunzhi wanted to help with some work, but Pei's father was in poor health, and he had gone through a divorce. His wife not only cared about her own younger brother, but also complained that he couldn't earn money while studying.
She initially thought he was good at studying and could achieve something great, but later, when her own younger brother also needed to go to school, her family thought that anyone could do education.
She began to dislike him for only knowing how to study, even though her younger brother hadn't even passed the preliminary examination.
"No buts, come home with me for dinner, and bring some back for Dad afterward. Listen to your sister." Pei Yuezhi forcefully pulled him over.
Pei Yunzhi hesitated for a moment but did not refuse. He had indeed not seen his sister and two children for a long time.
"Woof!" The two were chatting and didn't notice that the little dog was lying at Pei Yuezhi's feet, and it wouldn't move even if they moved.
"Sister, I think this puppy really likes you, why don't you take it with you?"
I don't know if the puppy likes me or not, but I definitely like it a lot!
This is a silly little dog, but it looks very well-behaved and cute.
Pei Yuezhi picked up the puppy without struggling. She saw that it was a little girl and obediently let herself be held. Pei Yunzhi helped carry the basket.
Go home and cook!
When they arrived home, neither of the two children were there. After letting Pei Yunzhi into the house, they put the puppy inside to prevent it from running away. Then, they skillfully slipped to the front yard and saw Liu Yuanyuan taking Fan Mu a nap, while Fan Chao and Li Nian'an were chatting and reading.
Seeing that they were all resting, I didn't call them back. I told Fan Chao that he could go back for dinner, since his uncle was coming and I should go back and cook something delicious.
Pei Yuezhi went to the kitchen to think about what to eat. She had been here for so many days and hadn't made anything delicious. Even if she wasn't craving anything, the children hadn't eaten anything good either, and besides, the original owner of this body and the children weren't very healthy.
And since my younger brother is coming too, I have to cook something delicious.
I just stared at my own space, lost in thought.
Glancing at the copper coin next to me, I noticed that the system had thoughtfully marked it as 255 coins.
Forty dumplings sold out so quickly; it looks like I can make a little more tomorrow.
Pork hock, pork belly, tenderloin, ribs... Hmm, what kind of meat should I cook? I haven't eaten meat in a long time. I thought I wasn't craving it, but seeing such high-quality meat makes me a little hungry.
This pork knuckle is quite large. I bought ten pounds of it, which made three. I'll stew one and make some stuffed green peppers!
I haven't cooked meat dishes in so long. Now that I've made some money, I want the kids to eat something better. Now that I have this golden touch, we can afford to eat well, so I'll cook two hearty dishes.
Stir-fry some shredded potatoes and some refreshing sweet potato sprouts, and that should be about it.
Without further ado, he quickly steamed a large pot of rice, then took out a pork knuckle and a pound of pork belly from his spatial storage. Thinking that he could make more since these people could eat it, he took out another half pound.
First, blacken the skin of the pork knuckle with fire, then soak it in warm water for a while, and finally scrape it clean with a knife.
"Yunzhi, come and prepare the pork knuckle." With my younger brother here, I might as well use him.
Pei Yunzhi looked at the large pork knuckle, which must have weighed three pounds, and said in surprise, "Sister, this pork knuckle must have cost a lot of money. You don't need to spend so much."
"My sister has earned some money and was planning to improve our meals. It's good that you're here. We haven't had meat in a long time, and the children are craving it. Don't feel too guilty."
"What is psychological burden?" Pei Yunzhi was a little confused.
Pei Yuezhi shoved the pork knuckle into his hands and pushed him out without a word, saying, "Don't worry about it, don't delay your older sister's work."
"My sister is never old."
"Go quickly!"
This younger brother is a bit slow-witted.
While Pei Yunzhi was preparing the pork knuckle, Pei Yuezhi first stir-fried some seasoning.
Heat oil in a wok, add scallions, ginger, one star anise, and a small piece of cinnamon (be careful not to add too much). Add two slices of angelica root and one nutmeg, and sauté until golden brown and fragrant.
First, put the ingredients into a bowl, then put a handful of rock sugar into the pot and caramelize it.
Keep the heat low, because the oil temperature is already very high after frying the spices. The sugar in this dish needs to be caramelized lightly, and the color should be about dark red.
Add water, return the spices from before, and put the prepared pork hock in as well.
Add some more seasonings: three bay leaves, a pinch of peppercorns, two tablespoons of oyster sauce, a little more than half a tablespoon of dark soy sauce, and appropriate amounts of chicken bouillon and salt. This braised pork knuckle is called rock sugar braised pork knuckle, and the flavor is slightly sweet, so I added a handful of rock sugar.
Once you put the lid on, you can start stewing it. It will take about an hour and a half, which is plenty of time to prepare other dishes.
