Chapter 106: Making Oyster Sauce

In order to find out more about Cai Shuyuan, Qian Yue squatted on the beach for half an hour and caught a lot of clams for Jiang Wan.

When I walked for the last time, my legs were numb and I limped.

Jiang Wan had tricked her today, and she was quite happy in her heart.

This kind of person who kills people with one move is no longer worthy of being called a human being. Calling her a snake or scorpion is an insult to animals.

She also borrowed Xiaoman's clothes to harm others, wanting to frame Xiaoman. Such a vicious person would cheat her every time she saw her.

Jiang Wan continued catching clams for a while, and only started to walk back when the basket was full.

On the way, she saw the waiter from Fengweilou who came to get oyster sauce talking to Grandma Yun from the village.

Jiang Wan walked over only after the guy left.

"Grandma Yun, what did that person ask you just now?"

"Hey~ Xiao Wan. The guy just now asked me how many oysters you harvest in a day and how much you charge per pound. Do you buy anything else in the village in bulk?"

Grandma Yun rolled her eyes in the direction of the guy.

"That guy thought I was old and confused, and wanted to secretly find out about your family's oyster sauce. I, an old woman, was confused and told him that your family harvested thousands of pounds of oyster meat every day and bought a lot of ginger and eggs every day. Did I say anything wrong, girl?"

Although Grandma Yun's face was full of wrinkles, her expression was still very lively. She blinked at Jiang Wan, and her eyes were so adorable.

Jiang Wan couldn't help but laugh and praised, "Grandma, you're right. I'll fool them the same way next time I see them. Wan Wan will bring you some delicious food tomorrow."

"No, no, that jelly you gave me last time had sugar in it, it's really expensive, don't give it to me."

Grandma Yun was talking about the sea agar jelly. Jiang Wan didn't control the amount at home a while ago and made a bowl of it. She not only sent it to her uncle's family, but also to the neighbors around.

The sea anise is picked white, and the fruits inside are picked from the mountains, so they are a little more expensive.

Now that Jiang Wan could eat candy freely, she didn't care about this little money. After chatting with Grandma Yun for a while, she went home.

The waiter from Fengweilou asked these questions, obviously wanting to make his own oyster sauce.

It doesn’t matter, just wait and see if they can make it.

Although the method of making oyster sauce is simple, it is hard for anyone to think of it. Otherwise, it would not have been made until 1888.

————————————

At this time, the atmosphere in the kitchen of Fengwei Restaurant was a little tense.

Shopkeeper Yu had a very unpleasant look on his face, and he couldn't put on a smile even though the person in front of him was his young master.

"Young Master, we can just figure out how to make oyster sauce on our own, but why would we send people to the village to inquire about it?!"

"Why can't you just ask around? Have you figured it out after thinking about it every day? I haven't got any clue at all!"

The young master, who looked to be in his early twenties, was chubby. He sat at the table, drinking tea leisurely, and didn't care at all about the shopkeeper's complaints.

After all, the restaurant is his own, so what does Yu, the shopkeeper, matter to him?

"Young Master, the people in that village are very united. Last time, Yu Ming was arrested and brought before the village chief after he had only asked a few questions. Now that we are asking about the oyster sauce, the mother and daughter might also know about it. What if they don't sell it to us..."

“Alright, alright!”

The young master interrupted him impatiently.

"The supply contract has been signed, what are you afraid of? Even if they don't want to sell, they have to be patient for a month. With this month, we would have figured out the oyster sauce long ago."

After that, the young master hired several cooks from the kitchen.

"Try it with raw oyster meat, eggs and ginger. I'll reward whoever makes oyster sauce first with 10 taels of silver!"

When they heard that there was a reward of ten taels of silver, everyone rushed back to the kitchen with great enthusiasm and started to think about how to make oyster sauce.

Some people think that the reason why oyster sauce has the word "oil" in its name is that oil must have been added during the cooking process, or that the crispness is due to the oyster meat being fried in oil. So they heat the oil in a pan, put the oysters in, and start frying them slowly.

Some people think that oyster sauce is thick and sticky, and it feels like soy sauce and pork fat. So they add spoonfuls of soy sauce and pork fat into the sauce, and it tastes quite fragrant when it is stewed in a pot.

Everyone later added eggs and ginger, and whether it was steamed, boiled, fried or stir-fried, the chefs used all sorts of tricks.

result……

The young master's face turned black.

"After using so many ingredients, you guys don't even have any clues??! Rubbish!"

Shopkeeper Yu rolled his eyes in his heart, but pretended to comfort her: "It's only been one day, Young Master, please wait a few more days and see."

Let the young master continue to waste his time for a few more days. When the master comes back, he will be in trouble!

"Humph! You are also a piece of trash!"

The young master didn't give the shopkeeper Yu any face. He snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left Fengweilou.

The day passed quickly, and the fishermen returned home when the sun set.

Xiao Manniang and her husband walked into the house one after the other, one with a happy face and the other with a sad face.

While eating, the two children kept asking her what happened, but Xiao Man's mother kept silent. It was not until they returned to the room and were alone with their husband and wife that she burst into tears.

"Eh?! Qiufang, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?!"

Xiaoman's father sat down beside his wife in a panic, with a bad feeling in his heart.

"Don't cry, tell me the truth!"

"Boss... I went to the next village today. I spent some money to find out about my daughter's fiancé's family."

Xiaoman's father's brows furrowed immediately.

The marriage has already been decided, but the daughter-in-law still goes to inquire about it. But what went wrong in the middle?

"You asked, and then what?"

"That family is not as nice as my cousin said!"

The idea of ​​a well-off family, a harmonious family, and a few sisters to help him are all fake.

Of the seven married daughters, four have severed ties with their parents, and the remaining three rarely keep in touch. It is said that the couple was treated too harshly in the past, and that is why they no longer recognize them.

How could such parents treat a strange daughter-in-law well?

And my daughter's fiancé, I heard, had a lover in the village. He took advantage of the girl because she had no parents and demanded a high betrothal gift, but the girl ended up marrying with her grandmother to a neighboring village.

Because of this, the boy even sought death.

When Xiao Manniang found out about this, she regretted it to death. She had only heard her cousin talk about the falling ceiling and the matchmaker praising that family, so she didn't think much about it at the time.

Who knew that her dear cousin would harm her own daughter?

"Boss, what should we do now?"

"Don't panic, I'll find a way."

Xiaoman's father's mind is also very confused now, but he has a very clear idea.

This marriage cannot be completed!
