Chapter 112 Seeds
Lu Tiantian opened her eyes wide and puffed her lips and asked, "Really?"
"Daddy would lie to you again?" Lu Shiyan carried her into the house, and Lu Jingcheng and his brother followed.
Jiang Tangtang smiled at the backs of the few people, and after talking to Su about the situation of the shops in the city, she went to find Xue Banxian.
Seeing Jiang Tangtang, Xue Banxian glared and said, "You still remember to come back!"
Jiang Tangtang thought about how he asked her to study medicine with him, but she had never started because she was busy, and she felt a little embarrassed.
But thinking that she would have even less free time after the shop opened, she pursed her lips and whispered, "Look, my three children are quite smart, aren't they? Why don't you pick one of them to be your apprentice?"
Xue Banxian ran his skinny hand along his beard and thought for a while, and suddenly felt that Jiang Tangtang's suggestion was good.
Although these children are a little young, they are all smart.
Although he naturally thought so in his heart, he said arrogantly: "You still want me to take care of your child? How can you be so shameless?"
"I've recently come up with a new dish called Crispy Fried Chicken. It's more fragrant and tender than Crispy Pork. Would you like to try it?"
Xue Banxian thought about the crispy pork he had eaten last time, and his mouth immediately watered. Without hesitation, he changed his words and said, "Bring the three kids over later, and I'll take a look."
Jiang Tangtang smiled happily.
"Why aren't you leaving yet? You're grinning like a rat. What are you trying to do to me?"
Jiang Tangtang didn't get angry even when being called a rat-eyed person. She continued to smile and said, "Look, your disciple's father is going to the military camp soon. As their master, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"
Xue Banxian said, "You haven't even become my disciple yet! And you're trying to plot against me? No way!"
Jiang Tangtang said with a giggle, "I'm going to become your disciple today. I'll make the crispy fried chicken I just made for the apprenticeship banquet later."
Under the temptation of delicious food, Xue Banxian compromised spinelessly.
"What kind of medicine do you want? Don't mention those weird ones. Don't blame me if you can't make it if you don't have enough herbs."
Jiang Tangtang said, "It doesn't need anything. Just make some good wound medicine, some pills to stop bleeding and replenish blood. Also, his foot hasn't been reattached for long, and he's already running around everywhere. Do you want some more medicine to stabilize it?"
Xue Banxian rolled his eyes at him and said, "You have so many requests, and you still say it's nothing?"
Although his tone was very unpleasant, he still stood up and rummaged through his basket of medicinal herbs.
Xue Banxian has been living in the Lu family these days and has not been idle. When he has nothing to do, he goes to the mountains to collect herbs.
Jiang Tangtang has collected a lot of strange and bizarre medicines that she can't even name.
Jiang Tangtang was watching from the side and was suddenly attracted by a small cloth bag.
"What is this?" She opened the bag and looked at it.
Xue Banxian immediately shouted, "Girl, be careful! Those are the seeds I collected with great difficulty. Just this small bag is worth a thousand gold."
"Really?" Jiang Tangtang asked doubtfully, "Then what kind of seeds are these?"
Xue Banxian said, "That's incredible! Ginseng, Gastrodia elata! In short, they are all rare and precious medicinal herbs. This is a great treasure."
"Ginseng?" Jiang Tangtang asked, "Which one is the ginseng seed? Give it to me and plant it and try."
Xue Banxian immediately defended him and said, "That won't work. You don't know how to grow them. Don't waste my good seeds."
"I'm good at growing things. Look at the wild berries and greens in the vegetable garden. I can even grow greens in winter. How can I grow your herbs?"
Xue Banxian thought about the green vegetable patch in the wasteland and said with a slight reassurance, "I can't give you all of them. I'll give you a few seeds to try first."
As he spoke, he carefully took out a handful of seeds from the bag and gave them to Jiang Tangtang.
"Give me some more." Jiang Tangtang looked at the small cloth bag and said, "What kind of medicinal herb are those black seeds? Plant some for me and try."
"This is..." Xue Banxian paused, not remembering how so many things got in there. After thinking for a moment, he said uncertainly, "These should be longan seeds..."
Jiang Tangtang thought it looked like a soapberry seed. She said, "Give me this too! You can't even remember it clearly!"
When Doctor Xue saw that there were three seeds like this, he picked two for Jiang Tangtang and kept one for himself.
Jiang Tangtang looked at his small cloth bag and coaxed him into giving her a few of the various seeds in the bag.
Jiang Tangtang took the seeds and left happily.
Since they had agreed to cook a good meal, Jiang Tangtang took action immediately.
She went to the Ge family next door and bought two local chickens and a basket of eggs. She asked He Qiuniang to kill both chickens and then took the basket to the wasteland.
He Qiuniang and Hu Dangui took good care of the vegetable garden, and now the Chinese cabbages are edible.
Jiang Tangtang pulled up some Chinese cabbages and went to look at the strawberries. She had not been at home for several days and had no time to add spiritual spring water to the strawberry water. The strawberries were obviously not growing as spiritually as before.
She secretly added some spiritual spring water to the water, watered all the strawberries, and then carried the basket back home.
When she got home, He Qiuniang had already packed up the two chickens. The Ge family's chickens were very fat, each weighing five or six pounds, so two chickens were quite a lot.
But Jiang Tangtang thought that there were many people in the family, and crispy fried chicken was a dish that both adults and children liked, so two would definitely not be enough.
Jiang Tangtang then instructed He Qiuniang to catch two pheasants from their home and kill them.
He Qiuxiang was shocked when she heard that so many had been killed at once. However, she thought about Jiang Tangtang's generosity and heard that the man of the family was going to the army, so she thought maybe they were going to be killed and taken away by him.
He hurriedly followed Jiang Tangtang's instructions, caught two pheasants from the cage, killed them and plucked their feathers.
Here, Jiang Tangtang cut the chicken legs, breasts, and wings with a knife. The chicken heads, necks, and bones were used to make soup.
For four chickens, not to mention the chicken meat, even the chicken skeletons and other scraps would fill a large pot.
These scraps are slowly simmered in a large casserole.
Jiang Tangtang took some spices to marinate the chicken, chicken legs, etc., prepared the batter for crispy fried chicken, and started to heat the oil to make crispy fried chicken.
Jiang Tangtang was reluctant to throw away the chicken offal and chicken blood, so she asked her servants to clean them and planned to keep them to make spicy and sour chicken offal.
Crispy fried chicken, like crispy pork, needs to be fried twice in the oil pan to be more crispy. But when it was fried for the first time, the whole family was overwhelmed by the aroma.
The children no longer clung to Lu Shiyan and all came to the kitchen, watching Jiang Tangtang cook eagerly.
Lu Shiyan took the opportunity to go out.
In addition to going to see Manager Xia, he also had to explain to the workers who had previously worked in the wasteland.
When he came back after finishing his work, Jiang Tangtang's meal was already ready.
"Daddy, come quickly. It's time to eat!" Lu Tiantian went over and took his arm, saying sweetly, "Mom said crispy fried chicken doesn't taste good when it gets cold."
Lu Shiyan looked at Jiang Tangtang and said with a smile, "Sorry, I'm back late."
"It's not too late. It's just been taken out of the pot. It's just the right time." After Jiang Tangtang said this, she cleared the table and prepared to eat.
There weren't many dishes made tonight, just some spicy and sour chicken apart from the crispy rice fried chicken.
She didn't cook rice either, but used chicken broth to cook noodles.
He Qiuniang and the other servants did not sit at the same table with them, but Jiang Tangtang also picked up some of the food and put it on their small table.
Although Jiang Tangtang always treated the servants well, He Qiuniang couldn't help but feel moved.
She had never even seen such delicious food before, but now she was lucky enough to eat it.
The master's family is so kind. She must work hard and repay the master's generosity and kindness.
