Dressed As a Mother-in-law, She Leads the Whole Family To Turn Over

Chapter 40 Returning with a full load

It was a rare trip to Songxi Town. Jiang Ning wanted to take a closer look at the specialties and customs here. After wandering around, she found that the iron kitchen utensils sold here were different from those in Dashan Town. There were many fishermen and there were blacksmith shops everywhere. Hanging hooks, large and small, and anchors, these are all things you can't see in Dashan Town.

The kitchen utensils actually include a kind of iron bucket with yellow mud on the inside, and a small pot attached to it, with a place for firewood and charcoal in the middle.

Seeing her curiosity, the blacksmith took the initiative to introduce it: "This is used by the Dan people for cooking on the ship. If you need it, you can buy one and try it back. It's not expensive, only fifty coins."

"So cheap!" Jiang Ning was shocked. The largest iron pot she bought in Dashan Town cost 400 renminbi, and the smaller ones cost 200 to 300 renminbi. This one comes with a pot and stove. Although the pot is small, it can cook well. Meals for four people are no problem.

The blacksmith laughed loudly, "It's funny, sir. You are the first to say that this stove is cheap. Those who come to buy things from me will not pay a deposit unless they cut two or three cents. If you like it, I will sell it to you for forty-eight cents." !”

Jiang Ning asked for two at once, one of which wanted a stove that was separated from the pot, suitable for cooking, because to teach Yang Datou how to cook, he needed a handy kitchen knife. He didn’t have a kitchen knife at home, so he used sickles and scissors for cooking. I had to buy one, and it cost 300 yuan.

She couldn't take away so many things, so she asked the blacksmith to help them take them to Linjiang Inn. Then she walked around twice more and bought some chenille flowers that the little girl liked, and then bought some candies and snacks for the children. It was almost done. go back.

It was almost noon at this time, and there were many diners sitting in the lobby of Linjiang Inn, but everyone was talking about yesterday's dishes.

When Shopkeeper Hua saw Jiang Ning coming back, she asked her more sincerely to teach Yang Datou to be a talented person in three days. Seeing that it was almost noon, Shopkeeper Hua specially asked Jiang Ning to stay for lunch.

Jiang Ning thought for a while and sat down. She was served the chef's signature white wine boiled fish. She took a bite and could only say that the taste was quite satisfactory, not a failure, but not outstanding. For such a small town to have such a chef Art is enough.

Shopkeeper Hua stared at Jiang Ning's expression carefully. Seeing that she had no reaction, he probably felt confident. He sighed and said, "One of the two kitchen masters I have here is specially invited from Suzhou. Thinking about that Along the coast, the chef's skills in making aquatic products must be good. Unexpectedly, he is better at making dim sum, and his cooking skills are only average.

 Fortunately, he makes good snacks, and guests who come to stay at our inn will bring some snacks back. But the master will not come back until two days later.

There is another chef who is this one. We are a local. Our ancestors were cooks for banquets. The skills were passed down to him. If I haven’t eaten your cooking, I think it’s quite good. I have eaten your cooking. Only then did I realize there were problems everywhere. "

Jiang Ning put down his chopsticks, took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Hua. In fact, the fish cooked in white wine made by this chef is very good. It would be great if some sour fruits can be added to the soup base to remove the fishy smell and improve the freshness. "

Shopkeeper Hua nodded repeatedly, planning to turn around and tell the master.

At this moment, Yang Datou entered the inn with a large backpack on his back and a large sack in both hands. He was obviously relieved when he saw Jiang Ning, "Mom, I thought you had gone back, but luckily I caught up!"

“What did you bring here?” Jiang Ning tugged at it curiously.

Yang Datou looked at Shopkeeper Hua and said with a naive smile: "Does Shopkeeper Hua still collect melon seeds?"

The flower shopkeeper immediately clapped his hands and said, "What a coincidence! I was just about to tell your mother about this! Yesterday's melon seeds were well received, and I have never seen them in Songxi Town. If you can supply them for a long time, we will still pay the same price as yesterday. Why? Sample?"

Yang Datou nodded repeatedly and put down the backpack, "There are eighty kilograms in total here, take a look."

Jiang Ning was stunned and asked in a lowered voice, "Why are there so many?"

When Yang Datou saw that the flower shopkeeper went to call someone to weigh the weight, he explained: "Ye Zi and the others heard that melon seeds are sold more expensive here. They didn't sleep all night. They held up torches to pick melon seeds on the mountain all night. Uncle Han heard the commotion and put melon seeds on the mountain. Xiaohua was sent to our house to help, and she followed her up the mountain. Plus the melon seeds that Erdan fried yesterday, there are so many!”Jiang Ning really admires the efficiency of these children. Fortunately, she left enough ingredients before leaving, otherwise! It's just holding the children back.

Eighty kilograms of melon seeds were exchanged for 560 Wen. This was the most money Yang Datou had ever gotten in his life.

With this money, he can look forward to building several large adobe houses after the autumn harvest, so that his family will no longer have to spend the winter in a thatched shed.

Jiang Ning saw his silly smile and laughed too, "Didn't you just say yesterday that you wanted to learn how to cook from my mother-in-law? I will teach you when you get back. You strive to become a useful person in three days. When the time comes, you will come to Jiang Inn to cook for Shopkeeper Hua. As long as you Your craftsmanship is good enough. Shopkeeper Hua promises to give you 1,200 yuan a month, and you will be on the stove at Mao time and off at You time. What do you think?"

 “Aniang! Is it really possible?” The huge surprise came so unexpectedly that Yang Datou was stunned.

Jiang Ning was not in a hurry and let him digest it by himself. The mother and son arrived at the port.

 Shopkeeper Hua's cousin is already waiting there, and there are aquatic products and seafood prepared by Shopkeeper Hua in advance on the boat.

Not long after the boat set off, Jiang Ning found a fishing boat filled with oysters. He immediately stood up and shouted, "Xiu Niang! Xiu Niang!"

Pan Xiuniang looked around on the river suspiciously, but her daughter spotted Jiang Ning with her sharp eyes. She quickly moved the fishing boat closer, "Sister! It's not easy to find you! I also want to catch you by the river that day and wait for you. Is that what you want?”

Jiang Ning nodded his head like a rattle, "That's it! Thank you for your hard work!"

Pan Xiuniang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good! I'm afraid that my work will be in vain. I'll send it back to you later. If you still need it, tell me again."

"I want it! Give me a few more ships and I'll take them all!" Jiang Ning said eagerly.

Pan Xiuniang laughed loudly, "The relationship is good, and I can earn a few more pennies!"

After the boat docked, Hua Dajiang first helped to get the aquatic products ashore. Seeing that Pan Xiuniang was struggling to carry the oysters by herself, he helped her and helped unload the things together.

Jiang Ning looked at so many things and smiled like a flower. After paying the money, he said: "Thank you for your hard work this time! Brother Hua, Sister Pan and their mother and daughter are not easy. I will trouble you to go back to Songxi Town with them later."

It was almost getting dark now, and she didn't want Pan Xiu and her daughter to get into trouble just to earn such a small amount of money. Hua Dajiang was quite honest, and he was working with shopkeeper Hua, so he wouldn't be short of these dozens of coins. Considering the wealth of Pan Xiuniang and her daughter, Jiang Ning was quite relieved.

Hua Dajiang agreed and backed out of the ditch with his boat.

 Jiang Ning and Yang Datou will definitely not be able to get so many things back, especially the oysters. It is best to transport them back in a wheelbarrow. Yang Han often transports game to the town, and his family owns one.
