Chapter 174: Not even the Lord can stop it!
Liang Jingyao asked curiously, "Pig head? What kind of dish is this?"
Lin Xiaoyue walked to the table nearby and lifted the covering cloth. A large pig's head appeared before her eyes. "That's it! Brother Liang, this tastes even better than pig liver and pig intestines!"
Liang Jingyao was a little overwhelmed, but he always supported whatever Lin Xiaoyue wanted to do!
"How do I do this? Do you need my help?"
Lin Xiaoyue waved her hand and said, "I'll make the lunch to be sent to the valley first, and I'll make the pork head later. There are plenty of helpers here, so you don't have to worry. But you can come back if you want to see it!"
Liang Jingyao nodded and said, "That's not necessary. I'll ask Zhan Ying to deliver the food, and I'll stay here by myself!"
Lin Xiaoyue was secretly happy. She picked up a large piece of pork elbow from the table, scraped off the hair and dirt with a knife, and said, "Okay! I'll go wash the pork elbow. Zhan Wei, you continue to watch the fire!"
Seeing Lin Xiaoyue struggling, Liang Jingyao took the pork elbow from her hand and said, "Let me wash it! Did you buy a pig? Why is there so much pork on the table?"
Lin Xiaoyue then remembered that she had forgotten to tell Liang Jingyao about buying pigs. She followed behind and said, "Yes! I bought three pigs. I just delivered the first one today, and there will be two more tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. So many people need to feed, so I might as well buy more. And it's cheaper than selling them individually!"
Liang Jingyao washed his elbow several times with clean water. "So that's how it is! You're really quick! The livestock I ordered will take a few days to arrive, but they've already started setting up some sheds!"
As he spoke, he took out a chopping board from the kitchen, placed it on the ground and chopped it into several pieces. "Knock knock! Knock!"
Then, he scooped another basin of water to wash the elbow. "Okay, it's clean now! What else do you want to wash?"
Lin Xiaoyue looked outside the yard. "Yes, there are some, but Yunyun and Zhanying haven't bought them yet. They've been gone for quite a while, they should be back soon!"
As expected, mention Cao Cao and he will appear!
Zhan Ying came in pushing a cart, "We're back!"
Lin Xiaoyue hurried forward to take a look and asked in surprise, "You bought more than I thought. No wonder you came so late! Did you borrow the cart from someone else? I saw you walked out."
As Zhan Ying unloaded the goods, he said, "This cart is new. I feel like I'll need it often, and I can't always borrow it from others, so I just bought one."
Lin Xiaoyue opened a sack of soybeans and examined them. She said, "Okay, we do need one! We bought these today, so we won't need to buy so many later. We can go out and buy more in a few days!"
Zhan Ying asked in confusion, "Why? Didn't Miss Lin want to store more food?"
Lin Xiaoyue said helplessly, "I'm afraid of causing panic among the people, and I'm also worried that unscrupulous merchants will drive up the prices, so let's wait a few more days!"
After hearing what Lin Xiaoyue said, Zhan Ying couldn't help but sigh, "Miss Lin is really meticulous! Are you going to take the soybeans? There are several bags here. Let me carry them! Just tell me where to put them!"
Lin Xiaoyue picked up a bag of soybeans and said, "No, I'll take one bag first. You help Yunyun, she knows where to put everything!"
Zhan Ying nodded and said, "Yes! I obey your command!"
Lin Xiaoyue walked up to Liang Jingyao carrying soybeans and said, "Brother Liang, I'll chop the onions, ginger, and garlic. You wash this bag of soybeans!"
Liang Jingyao picked up the bag and said in confusion, "You don't need that much, right? We can stew pork elbows here several times!"
Lin Xiaoyue explained, "I'm planning on grinding tofu, so wash everything! Besides the pork elbows for stewing today, soak the rest. They'll take half a day!"
Liang Jingyao thought Lin Xiaoyue was trying to save him money, so he immediately tried to persuade her, "Yue'er, there are tofu vendors on the street. Why are you working so hard? We don't need this little money! You'd better not do it! I don't want you to work so hard!"
Of course Lin Xiaoyue knew that they were sold on the street, but she just couldn't sit still and always wanted to find something to do!
And after the restaurant opens, if they can use freshly made tofu in stir-fries, it should taste better than those sold outside, right? After all, if the restaurant makes it themselves, the soybeans they use are high-quality soybeans! Outside, it all depends on the conscience of the seller!
However, I’d better not tell Liang Jingyao about these ideas for the time being, because the menu for the opening has not been decided yet. Let’s talk about it later after it is confirmed!
Lin Xiaoyue struggled internally for a bit, but decided to give it a try herself. "Brother Liang, I just want to eat what I made, and I haven't had much to do lately. I'd be bored hanging around in the teahouse! Just wash it all for me! Who knows, maybe I can come up with some new dishes!"
How could Liang Jingyao beat Lin Xiaoyue?
He nodded with a mixture of heartache and resignation, saying, "Okay! When the bamboo courtyard is finished, I'll be free. I'll be with you then, and you won't be bored anymore!"
Lin Xiaoyue couldn't help but roll her eyes. Liang Jingyao obviously wanted to control her!
Humph, no one can stop you from doing what you want to do!
However, to avoid Liang Jingyao's continued nagging, she nodded perfunctorily and said, "Okay, go wash it quickly! I'm going to stew the pork elbow! Zhan Wei, turn up the heat a little, I need to boil the water first!"
Zhan Wei watched his master being so affectionate in front of Lin Xiaoyue, feeling so embarrassed that he almost wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it! So he leaned against the wall, trying to minimize his presence.
But at this moment, Lin Xiaoyue's voice sounded, and he lowered his head and only responded with "Yes!", not even daring to raise his head.
Lin Xiaoyue didn't notice all this. She poured clean water into the big iron pot and waited for it to boil while she cut a bowl of green onions, ginger and garlic. Then she took out a handful of fresh mushrooms, washed them and put them in a bowl for later use.
After doing all this, the water in the pot had not yet boiled, so Lin Xiaoyue planned to mix some salted radish strips. After all, the pork was too greasy, and radish was just the right way to relieve the greasiness!
But we've all used up yesterday's radishes. I wonder if Yunyun bought any when she went out? I was so busy looking at the soybeans that I didn't pay attention to anything else.
Lin Xiaoyue was about to go out when she saw Chen Yunyun walk in with a basket of wet radishes. They had obviously been washed!
She happily took the basket and said, "I guess you should be able to buy it. Let me peel it while you take a rest!"
Chen Yunyun took out another porcelain bottle from behind and placed it in Lin Xiaoyue's hand, "Here you go!"
Lin Xiaoyue shook it curiously and asked, "What is this? Is it wine? Or is it boiled water (a drink made from natural ingredients in ancient times)?"
Chen Yunyun smiled mysteriously and said, "Sister Lin is so smart, wouldn't you know if you just open it and smell it?"
Lin Xiaoyue opened the cork and put the bottle to her nose, and a salty smell came to her nose!
Could this be...
