Chapter 23 Making Oyster Sauce



After boiling the pot dry, Ruan Meng added water and continued to boil it.

The rich aroma emanating from the oysters grew stronger and stronger, attracting the villagers who were still gathering seafood.

Following the aroma, they approached the stone house and watched the eldest brother and the third brother prying open oyster shells and crushing oyster powder, finding it all too troublesome.

"What are you doing?"

The villagers walked to the door of the stone house and asked Ruan Meng.

"Stewed oyster meat is what you call the sea monster."

Ruan Meng neither hid anything nor revealed anything.

Anyway, they were picking oysters without trying to hide it from passersby, and maybe others will follow suit in the future.

In the future, when it is sold in the city, restaurants and eateries may even develop their own recipes.

The sea is full of treasures, and there are countless ways to make money.

Instead of worrying about others imitating us, we should broaden our perspective.

Upon hearing this, the villagers saw the pot bubbling and bubbling, a dark, murky mess, and, disgusted, turned and left.

The sister-in-law saw this and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

As they passed by the eldest brother and the third brother again, some villagers mocked, "This is too much trouble, it's useless!"

"You've wasted your energy!"

Ruan Zheng smiled, revealing a set of white teeth, without explaining to them.

After several attempts, the oyster sauce began to take shape.

Ruan Meng found an empty jar, poured the cooked oyster sauce into it, dipped her chopsticks in it, and let her sister-in-law taste it.

At first, the eldest sister-in-law frowned deeply, but when she took a bite, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

The same was true for his three older brothers.

"This is incredible! Our ancestors have produced scholars, censors, and prime ministers, but never a wealthy merchant!"

"With my little sister around, things will be just around the corner! The Ruan family will become the richest family in the South Island!"

The elder brother smiled gently and did not correct him.

Ruan Meng feigned aloofness, raising her chin slightly, "Just the Southern Island?"

Ruan Yi pointed back at himself, deliberately criticizing himself, "Look at your second brother, isn't your vision too narrow? Our little sister is destined to be a wealthy tycoon in the Great Zhou Dynasty, a legend!"

Ruan Zheng packed the ground oyster shell powder into a jar, carried it into the stone house, and as he passed his second brother, he couldn't help but remind him, "Second brother, before you dream, could you please make lunch? I'm hungry!"

Ruan Yi immediately came to his senses and asked his sister-in-law and Ruan Meng what they wanted to eat for lunch.

Ruan Meng rinsed the sea urchin clean, cut it into several pieces, and asked her second brother to stew the cat's eye snail meat and steam the remaining half bucket of oyster sauce.

Ruan Meng made a point of preparing the oyster sauce before lunch so that her brother and sister-in-law could experience its wonderful uses.

The result was naturally good!

Compared to yesterday's seafood which had no seasoning, the sea urchin, snail meat, and oysters with oyster sauce and vinegar were incredibly delicious!

"Okay, this is good!"

Just moments ago, the third brother thought that his second brother was exaggerating his sister's abilities, but now he thinks that relying on his sister to make a fortune is a very reliable idea.

"From now on, I'll leave the picking of oysters, shucking the oyster meat, and cracking the shells to Third Brother!"

"Little sister, just focus on sales. Use your little brain and make lots of delicious food!"

The second brother nodded repeatedly. Before he could speak, the third brother reached out his hand, signaling him to stop. "Second brother, I'll handle picking up the oysters. Don't interfere!"

The second brother was about to speak when the third brother said the truth, "You're making such a fuss, you've scared the oysters away!"

The eldest sister-in-law almost choked, while the second brother, with a smile on his face, pretended to throw his chopsticks!

"Whose oysters can run away?!"

The third brother stood his ground, saying, "Second brother, you just stay home obediently. I'll do your job for you!"

After saying that, he added soothingly, "Be good! Listen to me!"

The second brother pointed at him, "so angry" he couldn't say a word, and turned to his eldest brother to complain.

"Big brother, look at him!"

"He disrespected his elder brother and mocked me!"

The eldest brother opened his mouth, unsure of what to say, when Ruan Meng came to his rescue, saying, "Second brother, the gloves you made are very useful."

"Let's go to town tomorrow and buy more cotton cloth and thread. Second brother, you'll strain your eyes if you work during the day."

"In the future, there will be a huge demand for this. If it's managed well, it can be very profitable."

Ruan Yi's eyes widened. "Really?"

Ruan Meng looked hurt. "When have I ever lied to you?"

Satisfied, Ruan Yi happily stuffed a piece of cat's eye snail meat into his mouth.

A moment later, he screamed in agony again.

He lifted his chin with his hand.
