The door of Cao Ya's room was not closed. Standing at the door, I saw Cao Ya walking out.
"Why is Sister Chen here?" Cao Ya asked in surprise, holding some clothes and came out to greet her.
"Can we find a quiet place to talk?" Shen Zhaozhao asked, pulling her aside.
Cao Ya nodded and took Shen Zhaozhao to find a corner behind the kitchen.
It's not time to cook yet, and there's no one in the kitchen.
"Didn't you want to go with us to see what's on the mountain?" Shen Zhaozhao got straight to the point.
Cao Ya is a smart girl and a good partner. It's no fun to play witty games with her.
Cao Ya raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded.
Admit it.
"It's a gold mine." Shen Zhaozhao cooperated very well and didn't hide it from her. "Sister Cao, there's no one you can trust here. Metallurgy needs hands."
Cao Ya looked at Shen Zhaozhao, seemingly evaluating her words.
Shen Zhaozhao didn't urge him, and just looked at the house that Cao Ya was repairing.
"Sister Shen, aren't you afraid that the people I arranged to go there will do something shady in the gold mine?" Cao Ya smiled and asked back.
After all, Shen Zhaozhao and Guan Pingle were still on guard against her.
"Wouldn't Sister Cao know clearly?" Shen Zhaozhao did not give a direct answer.
Since the gold mine needed hands, it would be better for the Cao and Chen families to share a piece than for the Zhan family to make it all by itself, so Shen Zhaozhao came to find Cao Ya.
Now that I've found her, I naturally won't suspect that she would have any bad intentions.
So, what she asked was whether the one chosen by Cao Ya was reliable.
Instead of questioning Cao Ya 녤그.
Cao Ya chuckled, sighed, and looked at Shen Zhaozhao with admiration and a hint of regret.
"I've accepted Sister Shen's kindness on behalf of the Cao family. How long will it take? When will it start?"
Shen Zhaozhao thought about it, the Cao family and the Chen family should be paid, but not more, "Ten, it's best to start tomorrow."
Cao Ya nodded and agreed.
Shen Zhaozhao still had to go to Chen's house. She sent 그 out the door and watched the curtain of the car being opened from the inside by a hand. She helped Shen Zhaozhao hold the curtain of the car, and a smile appeared on her lips.
After the carriage left, he turned back to the yard.
The Chen family was not far from the Cao family. Shen Zhaozhao got on the carriage and left before she even had time to warm up her seat.
She went straight to Chen Jun and explained her purpose.
Chen Jun was shocked. "Gold mine?"
The incident involving the third daughter-in-law of the Zhan family was really out of this world. How come a gold mine was discovered in Mobei?
"Since you are mining this gold mine with General Wude, why did you ask my family to come along?"
Chen Jun couldn't understand it, that was a gold mine!
If he had discovered it, he would have kept the news a secret and not told anyone.
"Uncle Chen, our three families have been together all the way from the capital, and we have long been indistinguishable from each other." Shen Zhaozhao said with a smile, half-truthfully.
Chen Jun took a deep breath.
"This is because the Zhan family trusts us. I will definitely pick the right one for you."
The Zhan family came with sincerity and made it clear that everyone would share the benefits.
The Chen family had very little money left on their journey out of Beijing and to Mobei this time.
Shen Zhaozhao's coming here this time is like a timely help.
Chen Jun was grateful for the many favors the Zhan family had shown him, and he personally promised to pick the right one, so everyone kept their mouth shut.
"Tomorrow you bring them to the front door of the Zhan family, and I will take them up the mountain."
Shen Zhaozhao was sent out by Chen Jun himself and thought about it.
Chen Jun's thoughts might not be as delicate as Cao Ya's, so he still explained it clearly.
"The mountain will be blocked by heavy snow and they won't be able to go down the mountain, so they must prepare enough dry food."
Regardless of whether it snows or not, or how heavy it snows, Shen Zhaozhao will not let these people go down the mountain in the short term.
After all, even if we give benefits to the Chen and Cao families, we cannot completely trust the money they send us. There are too many gossips, and if one of them has evil thoughts, it will all be a loss.
Chen Jun naturally nodded in agreement.
After visiting the two families, Shen Zhaozhao followed Zhan Nanxing back to the Zhan family.
Zhan Nanxing went to look for what his elder and second brothers wanted to do, and Shen Zhaozhao came to the kitchen.
The kitchen was warm and cozy, forming a sharp contrast with the ice and snow outside, and the air was thick with the smell of home.
"It smells good." Shen Zhaozhao moved closer to the stove and looked at the big iron pot on it.
She was the one who came from the Zhan family in the capital.
"Come, let me give you a taste first." Guo stretched her neck to look outside, and seeing that Lin was not there, she quickly opened the lid of the pot and put a piece of meat into Shen Zhaozhao's mouth.
"How about it?"
After chewing it twice, Shen Zhaozhao realized that this was not the meat of poultry or livestock, and it had a strong fishy smell.
In the end, it was Guo who made it, and she swallowed it with gritted teeth.
"It tastes bad?" Guo looked at Shen Zhaozhao's indescribable expression and said bitterly, "Your elder brother and second brother took them into the mountains and hunted a lot of game. They said they would freeze it outside for the winter."
Guo put down the chopsticks in her hand, looking troubled. "I rarely ate these at home before. They have a strong fishy smell. I have been trying for so long but still can't get rid of it."
"Okay, you go and rest first, I'll do it." Shen Zhaozhao began to roll up his sleeves and lift the lid of the pot.
A pot of boiled meat.
No wonder it's so fishy.
Guo explained, "When you eat game on the road, you always grill it. I thought that frozen meat would not taste good when grilled, so I cooked it."
Shen Zhaozhao thought about it, cut a few slices of ginger and a few pieces of green onion and put them in. After watching the water boil for a while, he took the meat out of the pot.
Since Guo has cooked it, just rinse it with water to remove the mutton smell.
Pour out the waste water in the pot, Shen Zhaozhao put in some lard again, wait for the lard to melt, and add the freshly cut ginger and garlic to stir-fry.
Then, put the wild game meat that was fished out earlier into the pot and stir-fry, add the sauce, and wait until the meat is coated with brown-red color before taking it out of the pot.
Guo was learning from the sidelines, and she could smell waves of rich fragrance. Where was the fishy smell from before?
I couldn't help it and took a piece and ate it.
"Hmm!" Guo's eyes lit up. "Don't mention it. After you stir-fry it like this, the smell of mutton has been reduced a lot!"
Shen Zhaozhao also tasted a piece herself. Game meat always has a bit of mutton smell, but she tried her best to suppress it by braising it.
Since Shen Zhaozhao was already the chef, he might as well cook the following dishes as well.
Together with Guo, they served the dishes to the table, which attracted the attention of the Zhan family.
"This mountain deer meat is cooked very well!" Zhan Beichen picked up a piece of meat, tasted it, and intuitively felt that the cooking skill was not that of his wife.
Look at Shen Zhaozhao.
"It's delicious, and the smell is much less."
Shen Zhaozhao just sat next to Zhan Nanxing, “As long as the second brother likes it.”
"The dishes on the table today are mostly made by my third brother and his wife," Guo said cheerfully, "Grandma, would you like to try some?"
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of meat for Old Man Zhan.
Mr. Zhan was originally worried about his bad teeth, so he took a small bite symbolically.
The meat was actually cooked until it was soft, tender and crispy.
"Mm, delicious." Old Man Zhan praised it generously.
Shen Zhaozhao talked to Zhan Jiayue with a smile, and from time to time he picked up some dishes for Shen Tiaotiao beside him. Before he knew it, the meal was over.
After helping Zhan Nanxing back to the room, she couldn't wait to close the door.
He came to Zhan Nanxing's side and asked with sparkling eyes:
"How about it?"
"Can you get your hands together?"
