Chapter 38 Crayfish
He must have come here to rest after burning incense, so she didn't care.
Unexpectedly, after a while, someone came over and said, "Excuse me, young lady." The woman looked at the girl in front of her. If she was not the only one around, she would not have bothered to disturb her.
"Hello." Li Zheng looked at the woman in front of her, who looked like a maid in the carriage.
"Girl, my wife is a little carsick. Could you give me a bowl of water?" The girl looked so pretty with her fresh and lively appearance.
"Yes, it's mint water." But she was reminded that it was none of her business if she couldn't get used to it.
"Thank you, young lady. It's great to have water." Looking at the girl's clean white hands, one can tell that the water is clean and drinkable.
"Nothing." She didn't care, just drank a bowl of water and continued to grill her fish.
"Hey, I don't know, brother, what's going on?"
"Why do you miss him?" This was the first time Bao Ge'er mentioned Gu Chengze in these days.
"Yes, I also want to see how they train their troops!" He didn't know when he could go and see it for himself, and looked regretful.
"Well, let's wait a few days. Let's take our things and go see him." It's been so many days since he left, it's time to go and see him.
"good."
"Madam, this is the mint water that girl made. Have some."
"I really don't want to drink." She felt so dizzy that she didn't want to move at all.
Seeing that his mother was unwilling to drink, the man said, "Mom, please drink something. You haven't eaten anything along the way. Please drink something for your son's sake." He was also worried. He knew about his mother's illness, but it didn't get better even after seeing a doctor.
Seeing that his son was worried about him, he said, "Well, I'll drink some then."
"Oh, ma'am." The maid said happily.
The water didn't smell like anything, but when it entered my mouth, the minty flavor rushed straight to my head, instantly making me feel much clearer and my eyes brighter. I drank a few more sips, and the stuffy feeling in my chest disappeared.
The man saw that his mother's complexion had obviously improved, and said, "Mom, you're much better now." His voice was tinged with joy.
"Yeah, much better. I don't know how this water is made, but I feel much more awake after drinking it."
"Didn't Mother Wei say just now? It's mint. I think mint has the effect of refreshing the mind." I just heard Mother Wei say that the girl made it herself, so it should be good.
"Well, Mother Wei, go and thank the girl."
"Why."
"Miss, our madam asked me to come and thank you, thanks to your water." Mother Wei looked sincere. She was serving the madam, so of course she had to be attentive.
"It's nothing, just a bowl of water." Maybe the lady was carsick, and drinking the mint water relieved her symptoms.
"Thank you, young lady."
Watching Mother Wei walk back, she saw the man in white standing beside the carriage, giving instructions to depart. Suddenly, the man turned around, and their eyes met. She nodded and went back. Her grilled fish was almost ready, so happy.
The man looked at the girl roasting the meat and smelled the fragrance in the air, thinking that the girl must be a good cook.
After eating, she and Bao Ge'er lay down here and slept for a while. Then she looked around to see if there was anyone around. She put her things in the space and prepared to take Bao Ge'er for a walk around. Walking down the river, they came to a paddy field and looked at the crops growing. How long had it been since they last saw this scene?
"Sister, is this rice?" He bent over as he looked at the rice growing in the water.
"Yes. Doesn't it look different from wheat?" I had never seen rice in the north before.
"Yes, sister, the bugs in this rice field also look different, they are bright red." This bug is so strange, its head is so big!
"Huh? What?" Red?
"Yes, look!"
Looking at that big thing with a small body and two claws, what else could it be but a crayfish? Oh my god, after having snails, there are now crayfish, what luck!
"Brother Bao, hurry up! Catch more. I'll make you something delicious tonight." This is delicious food. It seems there is something else to sell.
"This one? Great!" Although I didn't know how to eat it, I still believed in my sister's cooking skills.
They picked up a basket of them, but the cat was still alive and kept trying to run outside, so they had to wrap it in cloth.
After returning home, Li Zheng cleaned the crayfish and immediately stir-fried them. She made one with garlic and one with thirteen spices. Although a basket looked like a lot, the meat was small, so she and Baoger finished them all.
"Sister, what is this called?" I didn't expect it to look so good after being cooked.
"This is called a small... red shrimp." It's better not to say the word dragon. The situation seems calm now, but that's because there is no food now. Once food is available after the autumn harvest, large-scale wars will definitely break out. It would be bad if someone with ulterior motives made a fuss about this word.
"Little red shrimp, sister, will the store sell this tomorrow?" It's so delicious that he wants to eat more.
"Tomorrow? It will be too late tomorrow. I'll make it the day after tomorrow and I guarantee you'll have enough to eat." She would tell Uncle Wang tomorrow. If she wanted to deliver it, it would be the day after tomorrow. She saw that there were some in the fields, so she thought Uncle Wang's village should have some too. If not, she could go to other villages to buy them.
The next day, Li Zheng told Uncle Wang about it, and Uncle Wang nodded in agreement without thinking too much. After all, he had seen Li Zheng's cooking skills. If the snails were cooked well, then the other insects in the field would probably be cooked well as well. And the most important thing was that his family had become much more financially comfortable these days, as this was his regular customer.
This morning, after Uncle Wang delivered the small red shrimps, he looked at the basin full of lobsters and resigned himself to rinsing them. After rinsing them, he pounded his waist. This was not an easy job at all. It seemed that finding someone was urgent.
After the small red shrimps were fried, she wrote on the small blackboard: "Small red shrimps, eight cents per pound." This cannot be cheap, otherwise it would be a waste of her hard work.
If nothing unexpected happens, there shouldn't be many people buying it today, after all, it's a new thing. But unexpectedly, most people bought one to try it out, and even some children took one home. I guess they believe in their own craftsmanship.
"Sister Zheng, I want three pounds of these little red shrimps." The fat boy Cheng Jun couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he saw the red crayfish. And the complex fragrance.
Li Zheng didn’t make any other flavors of red shrimp today, just the classic thirteen-spice flavor.
"Okay, if you don't want to cook when you get home, just make some noodles. Mixed noodles are also delicious." This soup mixed noodles is a must-try.
"Well, I'll tell my dad when I get home." Noodles with soup, I'm so tempted.
After finishing today's business, she was very tired, so she went back to take a shower and go to bed. She had to recruit people quickly, otherwise she would have to work for a store instead of running the store leisurely.
