Chapter 81 Selling Zi

Qiao Yun and others were exchanging greetings when another maid opened the door curtain and came in. She saluted and said, "Madam, several squires and wives came to visit together and said they wanted to discuss preparations for the Lantern Festival. We are waiting in the front hall now, Madam.

Where can I meet you?"

"In the main room." Mrs. Lu nodded, then looked at Qiao Yun and Yun Xuemei a little apologetically, and said: "I still have something to do, let the maid take you to find Qingqing, I will go after I finish my work here

Sit there."

Qiao Yun nodded, and then followed the maid to the courtyard with Yun Xuemei.

There is nothing busy in Japan today. After the household registration matter has been settled, it is actually useless to sit in the county magistrate's office. However, the original promise was to come and have fun with Meng Shaoqing. It would not be nice to come early in the morning and not sit for a while.

It just so happened that she was quite interested in her Shu embroidery. Since she didn't rely on it for a living at the moment, it would be nice to teach her.

Meng Shaoqing's main room is quite comfortable.

Different from the common mullion windows of this era, the windows in the main room of Meng Shaoqing's small courtyard are almost floor-to-ceiling, covered with a thin layer of window paper, and can be pushed outward. Because the sun is very bright today, all the windows in Meng Shaoqing's room are wide open.

It is breathable. Only the hanging curtains are lowered, and the covering effect is better than nothing. It is not interesting to spread a soft bamboo mat directly under the window and sit on the ground.

Meng Shaoqing just borrowed a few volumes of "Shui Jing Zhu" from her brother. Yun Xuemei took one and leaned on the short couch on the other side, flipping through the book at will. Qiao Yun responded to Meng Shaoqing's request to teach

The two of them sat side by side in front of an embroidery frame, chirping in a low voice as she worked on Shu embroidery stitches.

Qingqing is very smart and can learn acupuncture immediately. Qiao Yun saw that she learned quickly and taught her comfortably.

As the sun rose, it was getting late, and there was still business to be done at Qiao Yun Dao's home. Meng Shaoqing knew that there was no need to delay, so she ordered her maid to hitch an ox cart and personally take her to the corner gate. After watching her leave, Meng Shaoqing returned to the house to continue.

Study the acupuncture techniques you learned today.

Qiao Yun returned home and quickly started cooking. Qiao Yun was going to be closed for the day, and there was no business around, so she might as well grind out the chili noodles first.

After the couple had lunch, Qiao Yun moved the ladder and climbed up to the roof to see how the peppers drying on the roof were doing.

As Qiao Yun expected, the weather was not warm enough. Even after two or three days in the sun, it was not completely dehydrated. It would take another two or three days to dry out.

The strings hanging under the eaves are better, because they are hung to dry, and the ventilation is much better than those spread on bamboo plaques. There is still heat underneath, and they are no different from dried chili peppers.

Qiao Yun picked off these dried chili peppers, wiped off the floating ash on the chili peppers with a clean rag that had been soaked in water, and poured them into the iron pot. She also added half a pound of white sesame seeds and slowly stirred them over medium-low heat.

saute.

Soon, the color of the bright red pepper gradually turned darker, and a spicy smell mixed with the aroma of sesame spread out with the steaming pot steam. It was very pungent, but people couldn't help but want to smell it.

Seeing that it was almost time, Qiao Yun took out the small hand-cranked stone grinder that she had prepared in the game package early in the morning, and repeatedly crushed the dried chili peppers in handfuls.

For such a large pot of chili peppers, in order to grind them into fine chili noodles, they had to use this toy-like hand-cranked stone to grind them in circles. Qiao Yun kept grinding them all afternoon, and her wrists were almost broken before she finally managed to grind them.

The quality of chili noodles produced in the game is similar to that produced in the game.

Looking at the large pot of chili noodles on the table, Qiao Yun rubbed her sore wrists without tears.

This kind of work should be done by animals! When will her family have room to buy a donkey?

Recently, it has gotten darker obviously later than a month ago, and the sun has just begun to set towards the west! While it was still early, Qiao Yun took out the prepared chili bottles and put all the chili noodles in them.

This only contains six bottles.

According to the price she initially discussed with Manager Ding, a bottle costs 40 cents, and the total for six bottles is only 240 cents!

When it came time to spend money, Qiao Yun suddenly felt that every income that was far below the cost made her heartache and made her unable to breathe.

The previous purchase of pork belly, pork intestines and pork loin cost a total of 1,290 cash. The income earned from these ingredients was only the 1,000 cash given by Meng Shaoheng. If the business of these six bottles of chili powder is included

Yes, then she paid fifty cents in the past two days.

Qiao Yun pursed her lips.

She earned a total of forty-six dollars when she kept accounts two years ago, but she didn't earn a penny in the past few days after the New Year.

In fact, if she was serving wine to the county magistrate at Ding Shi Ji, she wouldn't need to order any high-end dishes. Twenty guan would definitely be enough for her.

However, she didn't really want to touch the money.

This is the money she saved to buy a house!

After thinking about it, Qiao Yun bought four more bottles of chili noodles from the game, collected them together, and packed them into the bag.

Except for the grinding degree of the chili noodles taken from the game is slightly finer than hers, the smell and taste are the same. After all, Qiao Yun used the chili peppers in the game, the formula in the game, and the grinder in the game. Even then

Ding Shi Ji had objections to these thicker chili noodles, and she had a way to explain it away.

She dug out seven or eight more spicy recipes from the game, put them in her arms, said something to Yun Xuemei, and then took her bags and went out to Ding Shi Ji.

It’s time for dinner now. Ding Shi Ji is indeed a Ding Shi Ji. It’s just the Chinese New Year. Logically speaking, it’s the time when you have a full stomach and need to clear your stomach. However, there are already several people sitting in the lobby on the first floor.

I'm changing cups.

Dr. Tea recognized her, and when he saw that she was still carrying a baggage, which seemed to contain bottles and cans, Dr. Tea became a little concerned. He hurriedly waved away the little boy and came up to him in person: "My dear lady,

, our stewards have been talking about you for days. Come on, come on, please come to the backyard!"

Manager Ding rested in the wing opposite the kitchen in the backyard. This was his residence. On weekdays, when he was not busy, he would check the accounts with the accountant. Dr. Tea opened the door curtain and shouted: "Shopkeeper

Yes, the little lady selling chili peppers is here!"

Manager Ding's face lit up when he heard this, he put down his abacus, climbed down from the kang, and rushed out: "You're here! I'm really itching to wait for the chili noodles! You've been delayed for three or four days.

!”

"Hey! It's been a little cold these days, and the peppers are drying a little slower." Qiao Yun handed the bundle to his hand: "I hurriedly grinded out ten bottles! They are all full, can you open them and take a look?

"

After Dr. Cha led the people to the backyard, he continued to work in the lobby. Steward Ding took the baggage and went to the kitchen with Qiao Yun.

"Yeah, I see there are quite a few people in front of me, but the kitchen isn't that busy, right?"

"Why are those people here to eat? They are all here to drink. The Fenqing in our store is purchased directly from Xinghua Village in Fenzhou. It is more fragrant than the wine from other restaurants where the wine shop owner mixes it with water himself. Those people

Drunkards with some spare money in their pockets come here to sit here as soon as it gets dark." Manager Ding curled his lips and said, "If you ask me, if you drink too much and get in trouble, you might as well drink tea. But the people here don't like it.

When drinking tea, the teahouse opposite relied on the clever storyteller to keep people here."

While saying this, Chef Bao on the side opened all the ten bottles of chili noodles, smelled them one by one, picked out a little with a very thin spoon and looked at it carefully. He felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and then ordered it with satisfaction.

nod.

"Yes, the quality is good. But why do these bottles look thicker than the ones you brought before? It seems like they haven't been crushed carefully."

"You don't know something." Qiao Yun's heart trembled, and she thought that he would indeed ask this question.

Fortunately, she was prepared.

She answered calmly and methodically: "Thiner chili noodles like this are generally only suitable for seasoning. However, I think there are not many dishes other than grilled and fried dishes that are used for seasoning. People here are still

I like to eat more soup cakes. These six bottles of thick ones are specially ground by me. They are most suitable for making chili oil. When eating hot soup cakes, add a small spoonful, which is called delicious. I will do good things to the end.

I’ve written a recipe for how to make this chili oil! There are also all these dishes made with chili peppers, all of which I figured out myself. Take a look!”

While smiling, she took out the neatly folded papers from her arms, unfolded them and handed them to Manager Ding.

Manager Ding took it and took a look. Sure enough, in addition to chili oil, there were also dry pot lotus root duck, mapo tofu, and fried noodles.

It's just a recipe. She gave each dish a description. The dry-pot lotus root duck was "crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, spicy and crispy", and Mapo tofu was "spicy and spicy, smooth and delicious, with a strong aroma", etc.

Wait a minute, Manager Ding almost drooled when he looked at it. He was actually very hungry.

He couldn't help but laugh and said: "You little lady, what is going on in your head! According to you, this pepper has only been grown for three months, and yet you have come up with such a novel and delicious food?"

Qiao Yun chuckled: "Maybe I have talent! But, shopkeeper, I gave you this chili oil recipe for free, but I can't sell these other recipes for free!"
