Chapter 75 Mala Tang (2)

The butcher in Yunlai Town is really Xiong Lie's friend. He is also a strong man with a height of more than 1.8 meters. He has known Xiong Lie for several years and has a good relationship.

So when Xiong Lie asked him to help provide big bones and meat to Chen Shuyin, he didn't find it too troublesome. Even the bones that were originally sold to others basically had the meat removed, but the big bones sold to Chen Shuyin basically still had a little meat on top.

The base ingredients of Malatang are the ingredients provided by Chen Qiuxiang, such as chili peppers, Chinese prickly ash, and star anise leaves, which are all provided by Chen Qiuxiang.

Chili pepper Chen Qiuxiang gave birth to some in his own yard. They are still very good. Whether they are used to make chili sauce or dried chili, they taste very good. They taste very fragrant and will not feel very spicy.

The taste of the people in Yunlai Town is generally not too strong, that is to say, it is not as strong as Sichuan-Chongqing, Hunan-Guizhou and other regions, but it is unlikely to be as light as Guangdong Province. People in Yunlai Town can still eat spicy food. , for example, people in Qinjiazhuang should be able to eat spicy food.

Qin Zhongyuan liked spicy food very much after eating spicy food at Chen Qiuxiang's house. He also bought some chili seedlings from her house and planted them himself. Later, if he wanted to eat chili, he could eat it by himself.

For the sake of caution, Chen Shuyin still made Mala Tang, which is not very spicy, which is probably about the same level of spiciness as many sweet and spicy snacks in later generations.

Because Chen Shuyin was busy with opening a shop, she arranged for her daughter to read and write by herself in the backyard. After all, she was a girl and couldn't be sent to the academy to study.

Even though the Yong Dynasty had less strict requirements on women, those academies still did not accept female students, and now Chen Shuyin has no ability to ask a female teacher to be a tutor for her daughter, so she can only let her work in the backyard of the shop. Write and draw.

The second day of the twelfth lunar month is a rare and auspicious day, and Chen Shuyin decided to open the shop on this day. From the dawn of the morning, there was a burst of fragrance from the shop not far from the blacksmith shop, which was renamed "Chen Shi Xiao Shop".

In fact, this fragrance has been spread frequently since the past few days, making people around and people in the shop unable to help looking for the source of the fragrance. Xiong Lie also asked Xie Lan and the others to tell those who inquired about it because he planned to promote Chen Shuyin's shop. Who is the person who makes such delicious food.

Then everyone also knew that on the second day of the twelfth lunar month, the shop not far from the blacksmith's shop, which was renamed "Chenshi Xiaopu", was about to open, and it sold delicious and delicious food.

On this day, early in the morning, Chen Shuyin started to boil the big bone broth that was simmered in the pot last night, and then made the bottom of the spicy pot.

Xiong Lie brought his two apprentices over to join in the show without having breakfast, and said to Chen Shuyin as soon as he entered the door, "Miss Chen, give us three servings of Mala Tang."

"Okay." Chen Shuyin responded, "You can put your favorite vegetables in a small basket first, and cook them for me later."

Xiong Lie and the others also knew what to do, so the three of them took a small bamboo basket to the shelf to get their favorite dishes, and after they were done, they went to give the dishes to Chen Shuyin in the open kitchen at the back. cooked.

Chen Shuyin is dressed very tightly at the moment, her hair is wrapped in a cloth towel, and she also wears a mask on her face, which is made of a piece of light blue cloth, and she also wears a whole apron instead of a hem. The apron can be said to be very hygienic.

Xiong Lie smiled at her fully armed appearance, took his apprentices to find a seat, and then asked Chen Shuyin, "Miss Chen, your shop has opened, can you come here by yourself?" ? Anyone looking for help?"

"I'm thinking about Aunt Liu and Aunt Gu who are next door. They both like cleanliness and are very kind. They should also need a job." Chen Shuyin said.

After hearing the words, Xiong Lie thought about it and felt that what she said was quite right. The two Chen Shuyin mentioned were probably in their 30s or 40s, and they were also grandmothers.The burden of the family is not too heavy but it is not too rich. It must be a job that makes money.

The most important thing is that these two aunts didn't point fingers at her because of Chen Shuyin and Li, thinking that there was something wrong with her.They think it's good that Chen Shuyin is so courageous and aloof. Although they themselves may not have the courage to be aloof when encountering such a thing, they appreciate Chen Shuyin for what she has done.

During this period of time, Chen Shuyin also got along well with these two neighbors. Although the daughter-in-laws of the two aunts' families did not all have a good impression of Chen Shuyin, they did not mock her in front of her or point at her behind her back like everyone else point.

"Aunt Liu and Aunt Gu are both good. It should be fine to ask them for help." Xiong Lie also agreed with Chen Shuyin's choice of helpers, and told her to find someone to help if she was too busy.

Soon, Malatang was ready, Xiong Lie and the others didn't need Chen Shuyin to bring the dishes over, they leaned over and brought the cooked Malatang back to their table.

Xiong Lie and his apprentices all ordered a portion of rice to accompany them. Of course, what they ate was not dry white rice, but brown rice porridge.

But Xiong Lie and his two apprentices didn't dislike it. Brown rice porridge paired with Malatang tastes very good. The vegetables soaked in Malatang soup base are particularly fragrant. There are also meatballs and fish balls. This is meat, so of course delicious.

Although the vegetable balls didn't have a lot of meat, they also had some flour and eggs, and they tasted very delicious. While eating, Xiong Lie lamented that Chen Shuyin's cooking skills were great.

Xie Lan and Yang Song ate big mouthfuls, while beeping softly to Xiong Lie, "Master, our teacher's wife's craftsmanship is really good. After eating for several days, I still think this Mala Tang is very delicious."

In the past few days, when Chen Shuyin was researching the improvement of Malatang, he would often send some food to the landlord next door, Xiong Lie, so Xie Lan and Yang Song also ate the Malatang for a few days after being taught by their master.

But Xie Lan still found it delicious and didn't feel tired at all.

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful to damage her reputation." Xiong Lie warned his apprentice.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense." Xie Lan closed her mouth and stopped talking about "mother", but continued to praise Chen Shuyin's cooking skills.

When Xiong Lie and the others ate only one-third of their big bowl of Malatang, several guests came outside one after another.

These few customers basically knew Chen Shuyin, of course it should be said that they knew Xiong Lie. They heard from Xiong Lie that the store opened on the second day of the twelfth lunar month, so they planned to come over to cheer and give Xiong Lie face.

"Hey, Brother Lie, are you eating breakfast here too?" A man in his early thirties who came in greeted Xiong Lie politely when he saw that Xiong Lie was also sitting in the shop eating.

 It will be on the shelves tomorrow, and 3 updates will be dropped by then, okay? (づ ̄ [-] ̄)づ

  PS: The update is delayed until noon, because I usually get up at noon (* ̄︶ ̄)
