Chapter 15 Cooking
Lin Yu froze for a moment, then nodded, "Well, this is my first time in Nanshi."

Aunt Wu immediately looked at Lin Yu with some pity, "It's okay, girl, it's good to be alive these days."

"We all came from hard times, it's not a big deal, as long as we live, and compared with the girls in that workshop, it's much better."

"It does not make sense?"

Qixi frowned immediately, "My girl is here to buy some meat, how do you compare my girl with... the people in Fireworks and Willow Lane? Who are you insulting?"

Aunt Wu chopped the knife on the chopping board, "Hey, what you said is really disrespectful. I have seen a lot of people who have confiscated family property and seized official positions in Nanshi, and you are not the first one."

"I haven't seen a girl from a good family before. She didn't touch the spring water before, and she will be the same as us in a few months. If it weren't for the downfall, you young ladies can come to my Nanshi to buy things. ?"

Aunt Wu regards them as people in trouble, and Qi Xi is very angry, but Lin Yu thinks it is a little funny. In the book, she is a person who died directly, and she didn't even have the opportunity to come to Nanshi to live a hard life. .

Lin Yu stopped Qixi, who was about to defend herself, and smiled at Aunt Wu, "My maid is a little impatient, so don't take offense, help me weigh a catty of pork and a fish."

"Nine Wen for pork, 25 Wen for fish, a total of 34 Wen."

As Aunt Wu said, she took the broken silver from Lin Yu and weighed it.

"Yo, that's a lot, I don't have so much money to look for."

Lin Yu pursed his lower lip, thought for a while and said, "Then let me put it here first, and help me get four cents to the person next to me. I will come shopping in a few days."

Hearing this, Aunt Wu was stunned for a moment, "Aren't you afraid that I'll lie to you and refuse to admit that I took the money away? It's worth at least [-] Wen."

Lin Yu lowered her eyes, she didn't care about the money, and if she was really cheated, she could get the money back by doing it.

"It's okay, I believe in auntie."

Aunt Wu was so moved by this, she took an egg from the side and put it in the basket.

"This egg is for you. Take it back to replenish your health. You will have to spend more money in Nanshi in the future. If you run out of money, you will be hungry."

Lin Yu looked at the extra eggs in the basket, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, but was warmed by Aunt Wu's behavior.

"Thank you, aunt, how much is this egg?"

Aunt Wu waved her hand, "For you, for you, Auntie doesn't want money."

Xiao Xu who was next to him snorted softly, "Oh, the iron rooster is willing to pluck its hair this time, and the eggs are almost as expensive as my vegetables."

Siwen?

Lin Yu was a little surprised, Siwen was not much for her, but it should be a lot for these people, so she gave it to herself?

Aunt Wu pointed at Xiao Xu's nose, "You son of a bitch, are you looking for smoke?"

Lin Yu glanced at the things in Qixi's hand, but didn't continue to wander in, and soon left Nanshi and got into the carriage.

At this moment, Qi Xi still couldn't forget, "Young lady didn't let the servants talk just now, look at the arrogance of that woman just now."

"What's wrong with her family, she lost her official position, and why did she go to Yanhualiu Lane? This servant should have tore her mouth just now, and said such nonsense!"

Lin Yu stared at the eggs in the basket in a daze, "If something really happened to the Marquis of Changning, people like Aunt Wu are really good, and what she said makes sense."

"It's good to be alive, and it's all over when you die."

Breaking away from the identity of the eldest girl of the Lin family, she seemed to have found herself for the first time in Nanshi, so Lin Yu didn't want people to know her identity.

When I arrived at the kitchen in the mansion with the vegetables and my meat, Lin Yu thought of something again, and said to the cook who was in charge of daily shopping:
"Let me ask you, is there a regular person in our mansion who is responsible for delivering vegetables and meat, and how much is it per catty?"

Although Lin Yu used to manage the big and small affairs of the mansion, but he didn't take care of these trivial matters, and the cook was a little stunned for a while.

"Just ordinary green vegetables cost 25 yuan a catty, pork fifteen yuan, and chicken and fish are twenty yuan. If it is better, it will be more expensive."

Hearing this, Lin Yu and Qixi looked at each other, and she couldn't help asking:
"Then look at the vegetables I bought, are they good or not?"

The cook shook her hands in fright, and her eldest daughter ran to buy vegetables?Just glanced at it, the dishes are juicy and the meat is fresh.

"It's all good."

Lin Yu then asked, "Then how much money can I sell for my vegetables and meat?"

The cook was even more trembling, "Speak less. Vegetables cost thirty cents less, and meat costs twenty-eight cents."

After a moment of silence, Lin Yu still couldn't hold back, "Vegetables are more expensive than meat now?"

The cook took a deep breath, "There is a farm in the mansion, and all kinds of mountain delicacies will be enshrined at the end of the year, so the meat is worthless."

"But green vegetables are seasonal, so they are inevitably more expensive. Moreover, the masters of the various prefectures in the capital like to eat green vegetables. Sometimes they may not be available no matter how expensive they are."

From Si Wen’s green vegetables to more than 34 Wen, [-] Wen’s meat can be sold to more than [-] Wen, which is almost doubled.

Lin Yu looked at the tidy kitchen, "How much vegetables and meat does our house sell every day?"

The cook counted with her hands, "There are a hundred and ten people in the house, and the vegetables cost forty to fifty catties, and the meat also cost more than 30 catties."

Hearing this, Lin Yu's frowning brows never widened. After this, the day's work is much worse, and the amount of money accumulated over time has been overwhelmed by the vegetable vendors inside and out.

Qixi on the side couldn't help being speechless, "This is too scary, why is there such a difference!"

Lin Yu thought for a moment, and asked the cook to go out first. She had to think carefully about this matter.

Qixi followed beside her, "Girl, we can't just leave it like this. Why should we give so much money to that vegetable vendor for nothing, rather than giving it to people from Nanshi."

"Don't worry about this matter, you can ask someone to find out who the food deliverers are in every family in the capital."

Lin Yu felt that this discovery was very important, and she always felt that it could be used to make a big event, but she still had to plan carefully.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yu poured the fish, which was still alive and kicking, into the wooden basin filled with water, and the fish was churning up and down.

Qixi on the side subconsciously took the lid to block it, "Auntie, just send the things to the kitchen, let's go back. What do you want to do?"

As soon as Qixi turned her head, she saw that Lin Yu had rolled up her sleeves, picked up the kitchen knife on the chopping board, and grabbed the fish in the basin.

"Girl, you don't mean to kill fish, do you?"

Qixi was a little dumbfounded, what happened to her girl, it was like a different person.

Lin Yu's eyes were sincere and bright, "It's not killing fish, it's cooking."
