Chapter 563 Vegetarian Wontons
During these few days, while Sun was away, her beloved son cried every night, clamoring for a wife.
She was heartbroken.
"Well, the five of you brothers will take turns to stay in Sunjia Village. Remember to be careful and avoid being seen by others. You will take turns during the day and at night. Stay there for ten days or so. If you still can't see her, then she probably ran away with another man.
But it doesn't matter if I run away. If we can't afford to offend the people in Jiangjia Village, can we afford to offend the people in Sunjia Village? Five taels of silver, I want the Sun family to pay every penny! Not only the betrothal money, but also the silver bracelet and money that the Jiang family cheated me of, the Sun family will also have to pay for it!"
Old Wang curled her lips and spoke with a sinister look on her face.
Her hands were empty.
The silver bracelet she had worn for many years was gone just like that. She cried for several days out of heartache.
Since Sun Xiaotao did not go to Jiangjia Village, there was no need for her to divorce her.
Who knows whether Sun Xiaotao is pregnant with Zhou's child?
If you find it, bring it back and give it a good lesson, and keep a closer eye on it in the future.
If you can’t find it, ask for the silver back.
Anyway, her Zhou family can't suffer losses in vain.
Sun Xiaotao, who was lying on Sun Qiaoer's bed and fantasizing about her future, had no idea that her disaster was about to come.
A spring rain fell at the hour of Mao and did not stop until the evening, when frogs began to croak.
Thousands of miles away, Kong Mingxue and his servant Lianshun walked out of the Meng family's old house, ready to go shopping.
The seeds had already been bought and were piled up in the old house.
Now we just have to wait for Meng Bujiu to return before we can set off back.
The master and servant were wandering aimlessly in the street.
The bluestone brick path left footprints wherever you stepped on it. The rain had just stopped and the air was very humid, but there were still many vendors setting up stalls on the street.
When it rains, we put up the cloth to block the wind and rain, all year round, never absent.
Everyone is trying hard to live.
"Are you hungry?" After walking for an unknown amount of time, Kong Ming asked Lian Shun who was beside him.
They haven't had dinner yet.
"I'm hungry! Young master, there's a stall selling wontons over there. Let's eat wontons tonight?" Lian Shunsi said bluntly, pointing at the stall in front.
"Okay." Kong Mingxue nodded slightly, and the master and servant walked forward.
After buying the seeds, the two came to the Meng family in Yuncang Prefecture.
The Meng family’s house is not big, with only one entrance. There is an old couple guarding the house.
They have been eating and drinking at the Meng family these past few days. To be honest, the food cooked by the Meng family's old woman is really not tasty. It's just enough to fill your stomach. The vegetarian dishes are not oily. It may be because they are old and have a bland taste, so the pickled vegetables are also tasteless. The master and servant are almost fed up with it.
Kong Mingxue originally wanted to take Lian Shun to the restaurant for a good meal, but Lian Shun was attracted by the wonton stall.
The aroma was strong, and seemed different from ordinary wontons. The two sat down, and Lian Shun called to the stall owner, "Two bowls of wontons, big ones."
"My dear guests, would you like vegetarian wontons or meat wontons?" The stall owner did not respond immediately but asked with a smile.
"What? There are vegetarian wontons? Then have a bowl of vegetarian wontons. I want to try what vegetarian wontons taste like. Master, do you want meat or vegetarian?" Lian Shun became curious. He always loved meat and was ready to try the vegetarian wontons.
"Just like you." Kong Mingxue also said the same.
"Okay, sir. Two bowls of vegetarian wontons. Wait a moment and they will be served to you two."
After the stall owner finished speaking, he started making and boiling wontons while shouting at the same time.
This wonton stall is doing very good business. Five and a half out of the six tables are occupied. The guests at each table don't seem to know each other, and everyone is concentrating on eating.
Don't talk at all.
They took a spoon and ate a bite of wonton and drank a sip of soup.
This made the master and servant even hungrier.
"My two guests, the wontons are ready. Here, be careful not to burn them." The stall owner's daughter-in-law brought a wooden tray with four bowls of wontons on it. She took down two bowls and placed them in front of Kong Mingxue and Lian Shun. She gave another instruction before going to the table next to them.
The same words were heard at the next table.
Kong Mingxue looked at the wontons in front of him with some surprise.
"This soup seems different from what we've had before." The wontons in Lianshan Town are cooked in clear soup, and the main thing you eat is the meat filling in the wontons. The soup has no other flavor except saltiness.
The wontons in front of him had a few drops of oil on the soup, which was light brown in color, similar to the mushroom and chicken soup he had drunk at Fubao's house.
After saying that, Kong Mingxue picked up the spoon and took a sip of the soup. The next moment, his eyes widened.
"Master, this soup is really delicious, even better than chicken soup. No wonder it smells so good. I can smell it from far away." Lian Shun spoke first.
The two of them couldn't wait to eat another wonton.
Another exclamation was heard.
"These are actually vegetarian wontons? Why do they taste like meat to me? No, meat is not like this. They have a crispy texture and a chewy texture. They are not greasy at all and are sweet and fresh. They are really delicious. No wonder this wonton stall is doing so well."
Following the master who loves to eat, I got used to the good things in the world.
Lian Shun is also very picky about food.
This was the first time he praised something so much.
"It's really delicious. Not as greasy as meat wontons, and not as bland as vegetarian noodles. I just don't know what the filling is made of. The soup is also delicious. I'm sure Fubao and Wangyou will like it."
Kong Mingxue wanted to take some back with him when he left.
When he heard him mention the word "forget worries", Lianshun paused while eating wontons. He glanced at Kong Mingxue's face and then pretended nothing had happened and continued eating wontons.
"Sir, I really can't take it with you. Not to mention it's spring now, I can't take it even in winter. You want to go back to Lushu Province, but the two provinces are quite far away, and the wontons would have gone bad on the way." But after paying, the stall owner shook his hand and said he couldn't take it with him.
"What if we use ice to cool it down?" Kong Mingxue had no shortage of money, so he could afford ice even if it was expensive.
Wrap the raw wontons, sprinkle them with flour to prevent them from sticking, then put them in a box and cool them with ice. As long as the carriage can run faster, they should not go bad within seven days.
"No, it will be sour and you won't be able to eat it if it's sour." The stall owner continued shaking his hands.
Although this man buys a lot and can make a lot of money, one must have a conscience when doing business, and good taste is secondary. That is why his stall has been standing on this street for fifteen years.
"Is the recipe for sale?" Kong Ming continued to learn and asked again.
"This..." The stall owner looked at him and hesitated.
Someone had asked him before if he would sell prescriptions, but most of them were from the Yuncang Mansion, so he didn't dare to sell them.
It is not worthwhile to affect future business for the sake of immediate benefits.
But the man in front of her was dressed elegantly. When she settled the bill just now, she didn't ask for change but gave her change directly. The reward was more than the wontons.
Since he said he wanted to buy the recipe, the price he offered would definitely not be low.
The family was short of money recently, and his son wanted to open a shop to sell spices, but he was still short of forty taels.
