After getting married, Da Xue's cooking skills improved by leaps and bounds. Her husband's family was willing to use oil and salt, and after she let go of her skills, every dish she cooked was perfect in color, aroma and taste!
So, after cleaning the small fish and shrimp that my third brother and his friends brought back, I coated them in flour mixed with egg liquid and fried them in oil until they were crispy.
Once the aroma fills the air, sprinkle with some pepper, cumin, and salt, then remove from heat!
It took two whole plates of frying to finish.
As for the snails, let them stay in the bucket for a while to purge the mud, then stir-fry them tomorrow!
For lunch, we had knife-cut noodles, and everyone had a poached egg made with the leftover oil from frying fish.
With the remaining oil, I stir-fried some freshly dug broom grass.
Liu Yunfei picked up his own bowl of knife-cut noodles, grabbed his chopsticks, and waited for Aunt Jiang to pick up some food first before he started picking up food without any hesitation.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Yue's distress suddenly eased a little.
Ultimately, the upbringing that comes from one's family background is ingrained in one's very being.
If the son is like this, then the father, Magistrate Liu, must be a pretty decent person, right?
If things go well, then her next step in the plan is to select this local official and implement it...
"Sister-in-law Daxue's cooking skills are amazing, much better than my cook!"
Liu Yunfei thinks everything he eats is good and fresh, and he showers people with compliments without restraint.
He understood the "rules" of living under someone else's roof.
In just two or three days, he felt that his chin had gotten fatter. If the old man came and saw that he hadn't lost weight but had instead gained weight, would he stop him from getting revenge?
Thinking of this, he chuckled to himself. Anyway, all the old man knew was how to lecture him, and he probably wouldn't stand up for him in this fight!
He wants to eat several bowls of noodles!
"There's still a lot of knife-cut noodles in the pot, Young Master Liu, please eat slowly."
To avoid suspicion, he sat next to his mother-in-law in the heavy snow.
Upon hearing the compliment, she smiled shyly and responded after serving her mother-in-law the dishes.
If we're talking about good cooking skills, it has to be her husband. I wonder what he's doing now, and whether he's eaten yet.
Peach Blossom Town—
Brothers Hot Pot Restaurant.
After a busy day, the number of customers finally decreased.
Qingshan, with his sharp eyes, spotted the carriage outside the shop, whispered something to his second brother, then took off his apron and left the shop...
Daishi, collecting the leftover soup broth and tray from the customers, said with some concern:
"Qingsong, is it safe for Qingshan to go on business alone?"
"Don't worry, the owner who's been coming in like a flock of customers is probably talking to my brother about the business of adding hot pot base. Besides, Uncle Guanghua is there too~"
Qingsong shook his head; he wasn't worried about whether it was dangerous or not.
They hold the recipe for the hot pot broth. If we force them, it will turn into an enemy, which is not good for either of us!
The older brother discussed it with him and they planned to use the hot pot broth to negotiate something with the owner of the popular restaurant...
"Alright, let's clean up and wash the dishes, then we'll have a hot pot meal."
Qingsong said casually, then gestured to Xiaoma and Xiaohu to wash the remaining vegetables and bring them out so he could treat his own people!
"Okay~"
Little Ma and Little Hu happily went to wash the vegetables. Although they were at a hot pot restaurant, they hadn't eaten hot pot many times.
As for the leftover broth from the guests' meals, they remembered the "owner's" words and threw it away; it was no longer edible!
At first, they didn't understand why this was necessary; they thought it was such a waste.
But after several incidents of guests causing trouble, they completely submitted!
Their hot pot restaurant only uses the best broth, and the broth is used only once and never reused!
Aside from the fact that the ingredients for the hot pot base are not open to the public, you can observe the process of adding the base to the pot!
As a result, the store's business got better and better, they got busier and busier, and at the same time, their wages and commissions got higher and higher!
In one month, he earned a staggering eleven taels of silver!
Haha~
From then on, their status in their respective households was beyond question!
They are both getting married this August.
Hehe, their good days are all thanks to their two good brothers, Qingshan and Qingsong!
They would go through fire and water, even at the cost of their lives, at the mere command of the green hills and pines!
Da Shi is getting married in the middle to late part of this month. He should be busy at home, but after cooperating with his grandparents and parents to complete the necessary tasks, he started helping out at the shop.
Perhaps because of what happened at Qingyun, he's now overly suspicious...
"Gurgle gurgle~"
The charcoal fire was burning brightly, and the hot pot broth was bubbling away.
The aroma was irresistible, and the hungry group forgot their jokes, sitting down together to start eating...
Qingsong picked up a slice of pork with his chopsticks, cooked it, dipped it in chili sauce, wrapped it in lettuce, and ate it in big bites.
Suddenly remembering something, he quickly touched the little horse on his right and said:
"Xiao Ma, go to the blacksmith's shop tomorrow and ask when the hot pot we ordered will be ready."
"I understand, Brother Song. I'll definitely ask tomorrow!"
Little Ma nodded, and the fried dough stick he was holding with his chopsticks fell into the pot, where it was then snatched away by that scoundrel Little Tiger!
Awooo! Snatching food from the tiger's mouth!
"How disgusting! I've already put it in my mouth!"
Xiao Hu complained, as if he wasn't the one who had stolen the item.
"Hmph~"
Having successfully retrieved his fried dough stick, Little Horse didn't care that it was hot and quickly put it in his mouth, thinking that it would be safe once it was in his stomach!
Da Shi, being the oldest, didn't care about eating himself, but took care of his younger brother Xiao Shi and served food to his cousin.
Sigh, watching the two bickering, I thought to myself, when will these little brothers ever grow up?
Meanwhile, the second floor, which had been packed with customers, was completely emptied. In a private room, Qingshan met once again with the owner behind him...
"Grandpa Su, it's been a long time. How have you been?"
"Hmph, I've been looking for you several times already, and you've made me wait for three whole days!"
Su Fang, the host who attracts a constant stream of guests.
His smile is as kind and approachable as a friendly old man next door, but when he has a stern face, he looks as terrifying as a door god.
When Qingshan first met this old man, he was intimidated by him.
However, after getting to know them, I found that they were just like an old child.
Of course, in the business world, one should not underestimate one's opponent, nor should one easily trust others...
With Uncle Guanghua intervening, enemies were turned into friends, and cooperation and mutual benefit were achieved.
"Grandpa Su, you may not know this, but my younger brother was beaten up at the academy. I have some things to take care of at home recently, so I had to postpone our meeting."
Qingshan remembered his mother's words: "One should not hit a smiling face." So he smiled apologetically, served tea, and apologized.
"Oh? Tell me, in this little Peach Blossom County, who dares to lay a hand on my juniors!"
When smart people interact, they all have their own ulterior motives.
Su Fang, having been stood up for several days, naturally sent someone to investigate the reason.
At this point, he said that simply to save face and improve their relationship!
Qingshan expressed his gratitude and then told the other party what had happened...
An old man and a young man, their minds clashing, it's a battle of wits—let's see who can hold their temper longer!
