Cheng Yue thought that ten cents was really not a lot of money, although ten cents could buy five meat buns.
But for those idle gamblers, ten cents may not be enough for them to place a bet.
If they win a hand, who knows how much money they will get!
"Ha! I was mistaken. I forgot we were setting up our stall next to the gambling house."
Gu Xuelan immediately understood the relationship and said with a slap of her head.
"My dear, sister, can I go and fetch my parents?"
Cheng Wen's eyes were fixed on the table, his saliva almost flowing out, and he finally decided to go and bring his parents back as soon as possible.
"Go ahead! And get some wine from Mancang's house!"
Gu Xuelan patted Cheng Wen's shoulder and said.
"Oh! Okay!"
Cheng Wen ran out happily.
"Ayue, tell me the truth, where did you learn your cooking skills? I won't think that you learned it by eating alone outside like Jinxing does."
There were only the aunt and sister-in-law in the kitchen, so Gu Xuelan had no scruples and asked.
"Sister-in-law, I said I learned it in a dream, do you believe me?"
Cheng Yue said without hesitation.
She had thought of this excuse last night.
After all, she also knew that she would have to make a lot of things in the future and it was impossible for her to just grill them outdoors.
"Dream? I believe it, why not? I've heard my father say before that the founding empress of our Great Qi was very talented. According to folklore, when she was fourteen or fifteen years old, she suddenly became enlightened and acquired medical skills. Her family said that she dreamed of an old immortal who taught her the skills."
Gu Xuelan smiled.
"Really? Sister-in-law, besides dreaming of medical skills, what else did our founding empress have?"
Cheng Yue was stunned, then suppressed his inner excitement and asked.
This person must be a time traveler, her predecessor!
She actually became an empress, and the founding empress at that. Awesome!
"Many. In addition to her medical skills, she also brought in a lot of vegetables and fruits from outside for the people of Da Qi, such as corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, loofahs, etc. I can't even count them all at once."
Gu Xuelan said.
"By the way, Ayue, there's meat cooking in your pot. What should I do with it when it's done?"
Gu Xuelan changed the subject.
The main reason was that she was worried that her sister-in-law would ask more questions. This was all she knew about the founding empress, and if she asked more, she wouldn't know anything.
The Great Qi Kingdom now has a history of nearly a hundred years, and has gone through several generations of emperors. The stories about the founding empress are no longer as popular as before.
"Once the meat is cooked, place it on a chopping board and press it with a kitchen knife, breaking it up along the grain. Then, add star anise to the wok, add the meat, and use long chopsticks to shred it. Fry until it changes color, then reduce the heat and add the seasonings and stir-fry. This is a little more complicated than fish skin peanuts; the order of adding the seasonings and the heat must be mastered. It's delicious hot or cold."
Cheng Yue briefly explained the process of making spicy shredded pork.
"Ayue, why don't we make this before Mom and Dad come back? Isn't it for Dad to have a little wine? It sounds delicious, Dad should like it more. If Dad approves, we can go buy some lean meat this afternoon, come back and make some, and sell it tomorrow. What do you think?"
Gu Xuelan smacked her lips and said.
After hearing what Cheng Yue said, she was indeed a little greedy.
