Chapter 52 Why is the Yun family's food so delicious?
Mr. Sun Pu had no idea what to do with tiger bones and turtle shells.
These two medicinal ingredients are not often used, and Yaoxiantang currently has no stock. Moreover, the turtle shell must be fresh, so where can we find it?
"Mom, let's just forget it. It's just that my walking is not very nice, it's nothing serious." He Chunxiu said.
Zhao Zhilan grabbed her hand and said, "That won't do. Before, we didn't have the money to treat you properly, so you developed this disease. Now that we have money, and Mr. Zisun has written this prescription, how can we stop treating you?"
"But tiger bones and turtle shells are hard to come by even if you have money."
"Don't worry, Mom has a way." Zhao Zhilan comforted her, "I'll ask Hunter Yang in our village later. If he can get it, he'll give me some more silver."
"How much silver should I give to them..."
These days, it is rare to encounter tigers and old turtles, let alone hunt them.
He Chunxiu looked worried, but was interrupted by Zhao Zhilan: "It's settled."
Xiao Baoya lay on He Chunxiu's lap, thinking about this matter in her mind.
Because she thought of Brother Xiaojing and Brother Xiaojing's master.
For some reason, she felt that since Brother Xiaojing had a wolf with him and his master could get so many big river clams, he should be more capable than Hunter Yang in their village.
If I tell them about this, Brother Xiaojing and his master should help, right? After all, they are all good people.
"Tiger bones, tortoise shells..."
Xiao Baoya muttered to herself while thinking about how to get these things.
The image of the lonely king's agile and snow-white figure suddenly flashed through her mind, and she sighed.
If only Grandpa Sun had prescribed wolf bones, she would have a ready-made king by her side.
Lend me a bone to help her mother cure her leg disease. Then she will definitely bring me a lot of delicious meat!
A little girl who was less than five years old didn't know that bones couldn't be borrowed casually, and even if they were borrowed, they couldn't be returned...
Fortunately, what was needed were tiger bones, not wolf bones, and the king escaped the disaster.
After treating He Chunxiu's leg disease, Sun Pu mentioned the tofu issue to Zhao Zhilan.
"Our He'er loves the tofu from your family very much." When talking about tofu, Sun Pu had a nostalgic smile on his face.
"But this kind of thing can't be stored, otherwise, I really want to buy a few hundred dollars to take back."
"Brother Rong likes to eat, so you can come and eat every day," Bao Ya tilted her head to look at Sun Pu and said seriously, "You can also play with us."
"Silly Baoya, Ping'an Town is too far from our village. It will take Grandpa Sun and Young Master Rong a whole day to get there." Yun Chenglu said.
He glanced at Rong He, whose eyes were shining beside him, and didn't want this kid to come to their house every day.
He saw Rong He stuffing candy into his fourth sister's mouth just now.
This brat coaxed his sister Baoya and now he is trying to coax his fourth sister. He will not let this little master succeed.
But Rong He smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? The carriage can travel very quickly. It won't take a day. However, I'm helping Grandpa Sun manage the pharmacy right now, so I can only come when I'm free."
"Okay, you can come anytime." Baoya said.
Yunyue was looking forward to it, not knowing whether she could trick Rong He into giving her the candy.
Only Yun Chenglu's face darkened.
Yun Chengfu, who was standing next to him, saw this and smiled helplessly, thinking that his younger brother really protected his sisters very well.
The children made an agreement, but Sun Pu still needed to solve the tofu problem.
"Aunt Zhao, how about this," he thought for a moment, "I'll buy ten yuan today. It will last me two or three days. When it's gone, I'll come back to buy more next time."
"Of course, you can come anytime," Zhao Zhilan said. "I'll give you some tofu for your trouble, as you've come to see my Chunxiu in person."
"You still have to pay. You make tofu to earn a living." Sun Pu waved his hand and refused to accept it.
Zhao Zhilan then asked for the payment for his consultation. After a lot of back-and-forth, the two finally reached a compromise and Zhao Zhilan only took half of the money.
Moreover, the price was three copper coins per piece according to the usual price. Sun Pu collected fifteen copper coins for ten pieces of tofu.
After everything was agreed upon, Zhao Zhilan asked Li Rongyue to bring a wooden barrel to Mr. Sun, fill it with brine, and put ten pieces of tofu that were left over from the morning into it.
They are now making the 300 pieces of tofu they supply to Ke Lai Xiang, and they always have some left over every day, so that if any of them are not properly removed from the mold, they can make up for it.
They kept some of the remaining tofu for their own consumption, and carried the rest on a shoulder pole to sell it from door to door in their village or neighboring villages.
There happened to be enough left today, so I gave it all to Sun Pu.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Sun Pu was afraid of delaying others from making lunch, so he planned to take Rong He back.
At this time, Wang Cailian came in with a freshly made eggplant box.
She had been busy cooking in the front yard. When she came in with the dishes, she saw a stranger there.
Her stingy nature made her force out an awkward laugh, and she turned around and wanted to leave with the plate.
But Zhao Zhilan stopped him: "Why are you taking it away? Mr. Sun and Young Master Rong are here, why don't you eat together?"
Wang Cailian's smile froze on her face: "Mom, I...I haven't done enough. I'm afraid it's not enough."
"I've seen quite a few." Zhao Zhilan beckoned, "Hurry up and bring them over."
Wang Cailian had no choice but to put the plate on the small table in the main hall: "My cooking skills are average, please don't despise me."
Baoya pushed the plate in front of Sun Pu and Rong He, smiled and said, "Grandpa Sun, Brother Rong, Auntie's cooking is really delicious. Would you like to try it?"
Wang Cailian: ...
She really felt that her cooking skills were just average, not even as delicious as He Chunxiu's, and was just to fool the children at home.
This little girl Baoya is really good at talking. She can lie without blinking.
Sun Pu actually wanted to turn it down, not for any other reason but because of Rong He's illness which made him unable to eat anything.
It would be embarrassing if you spit out the food in front of the Yun family and say it doesn't taste good.
However, before he could open his mouth, Rong He had already pinched a piece of eggplant box and put it into his mouth.
After chewing it for a few times, he swallowed it with a look of enjoyment and pinched another piece.
Sun Pu: ...
The tofu made by the Yun family is delicious. Could it be that this eggplant box is also delicious?
He pinched a piece and put it in his mouth with some doubt, then he was shocked.
It’s not that the taste is amazing, nor is it the taste of food carefully cooked in restaurants.
But it feels very different, like an addiction, making him want to eat another one after finishing one.
Wang Cailian looked at the two of them, taking one piece at a time, and soon most of the plate of eggplant box was gone. She was also very puzzled.
When did her cooking become so delicious?
With a skeptical attitude, she also pinched a piece and tasted it, and was also shocked.
Wasn’t the food she cooked for the family this delicious before?
Seeing her doubt, Baoya raised her little head and looked at her and smiled: "Aunt, I didn't lie to you, did I? Your cooking is actually delicious."
