The Red Mansions

Chapter 34 The Fortune Teller

Pork is cheap meat, and pig offal is also cheap meat in cheap meat.

Jia Yun originally thought that people from high-ranking households like the Jia Mansion would not eat pork.

But since he went to the Ningrong Second Mansion as a cook, he realized that pork has already entered thousands of households, and even the emperor eats pork.

As for how to breed pork, castrate piglets, and use ingredients to remove the smell when cooking pork, etc., there is already a corresponding system.

Therefore, although pork is cheap meat, it does not prevent people from finding ways to make it delicious and mouth-watering.

In the small shop, Jia Yun laughed out loud, making Xi Cong laugh a little embarrassed.

After laughing, Jia Yun nodded and said: "You are right, this is a big mess!"

Xiren glanced at Jia Yun, a little hesitant, this braised stew is fragrant, but what is stewed in it is pig offal, after a little thought, it is easy for people to tangle between eating or not.

After a while, the attacker said: "Get me some of everything. I'll try it first. The quantity doesn't need to be too much."

Jia Yun nodded, took the bamboo clip in her hand, calmly picked out small intestines, lungs, fatty intestines, and fried tofu from the cauldron, and cut them into sections leisurely.

Then take out a white noodle that has been boiled in the stewed soup and burn it on fire, cut it horizontally and vertically, and put it into a large porcelain bowl together with the things just now.

Reach out and pick up a large spoon and pour a spoonful of hot stewed soup with marinade, sausage and seasonings into the bowl, balsamic vinegar, soy bean curd soup, chive flower sauce, and pour it into the bowl, the aroma is overflowing !

"Do you want chili oil and coriander?" Jia Yun replied again.

Xiren nodded and said, "All of them!"

Jia Yun smiled, drizzled with oil and chili, grabbed a handful of parsley, and said, "Your taste matches mine!"

"Virtue!" Xiren gave him a blank look, took the bowl and replied.

It is difficult to eat the hard fire pancakes directly.

It has been boiled in the stew until the taste is still chewy, and it is not until the taste of the stew is integrated that the fire has a soul.

Xiren came to the corner and sat down, took a sip of the cooked fire, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Fried tofu full of marinade, stewed fatty intestines, lungs, pork head meat and pork belly with skin, together with the aroma of minced garlic, the spicy oil chili, and the green coriander, it will make people appetite.

Take another sip of stewed soup, the soup is very thick and fresh, the meat is crispy and soft, glutinous and pliable.

"It's really delicious!" Xi Xin sighed, glancing at Jia Yun from time to time, admiring this guy's cooking skills, no matter what he cooks, it's delicious.

Jia Yun was afraid that Xiren was thin-skinned, so she didn't stare at Xiren, because there were not many of them, so Xiren ate them all soon.

"Brother Yun, do you have a food box here?" Xiren asked.

Jia Yun nodded and said, "Yes, I took it home when I went to help the cook in Rongguo Mansion last time, and I haven't returned it yet."

Xiren smiled and said, "That's great, then make me two bowls first, and I'll take them back to Master Bao and Miss Lin to taste."

While the two were talking, a Taoist priest came from outside the door with a white sail, on which were written the words "Straight from the mouth of the iron".

"Fortune-teller?" Jia Yun was puzzled, but kept her face calm, pretending to be boiled for the attacker in a leisurely manner.

This Taoist priest has a ruddy complexion, and it is hard to predict his age. He may be in his 30s, or he may be in his 50s.

Just when Jia Yun thought that the Taoist priest was coming to eat, the Taoist priest stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Little brother, the old Taoist would like to borrow your precious land, can you?"

"You want to set up a stall in my shop? Are you kidding me!" Jia Yun thought it was unlucky, because she ran into someone who didn't know how to behave when she just opened, so she didn't look good.

The Taoist chuckled, pointed to the door, and said, "The door...is right there, it won't block your business."

Before Jia Yun could refuse, the Taoist looked Jia Yun up and down, then stepped forward and whispered, "Don't worry, little brother, the old Taoist will not take up your space for nothing if he sets up a stall outside your shop."

"The old Taoist sees that the little brother looks ordinary on the surface, but in fact the blood in his body is boiling like a wolf's smoke, but the old Taoist sees that the little brother doesn't know how to use it, so..."

As he spoke, he pulled the bag on his shoulders, took out two books, handed them to Jia Yun, and said, "The old man can lend these two books to my little brother for a month, how about it?"

Jia Yun took the books and looked at them. One was called "Breaking the Enemy Fist" and the other was called "Eight Female Spears".

"Breaking the Enemy Fist" is a boxing manual, which is divided into three parts, one part is the mental method, the other part is the moves, and only the last one is a prescription for strengthening the body.

Jia Yun probably flipped through it, and found that this kind of boxing is a bit like Bajiquan, wide opening and closing, vigorous and fierce, violent and sudden, full of energy, both offensive and defensive, strong and soft, virtual and real, and the lethality is amazing.

As for the authenticity, he has no way of knowing at the moment.

Another book called "Eight Female Spears" is a method of lance. From the name, it can be seen that this method of lance evolved from spear skills.

The method of lance mainly consists of the eight major moves of lifting, smashing, circle, swinging, wrapping, turning, abducting, and blocking. It is used in conjunction with riding skills. The cold star is dotted with silver light. It cannot be splashed with water. It is used to face the enemy, and it cannot be destroyed by arrows and stones. !
Of course, there is a special note on this. If you want to practice this method, you must have great strength.

It just so happens that Jia Yun's strength is great now, which is suitable for him.

After pondering for a moment, Jia Yun took a deep look at the Taoist priest, and felt that this person was either a person with advanced cultivation, or a cheater.

As for how he saw that he was full of qi and blood, Jia Yun thought that anyone who knew how to fool people would say that just because of her strong body.

However, he still agreed to the Taoist priest's request. There is a saying that it is better to kill the wrong than to let it go. He really needs these two martial arts cheats at the moment. As for whether it is true, just try it out.

Seeing Jia Yun nodding, the Taoist smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Then thank you little brother, the old Taoist will go out to earn money."

After the Taoist priest went out, Xiren took up the food box and whispered, "Brother Yun, be more careful, don't let anyone deceive you."

"I know, don't worry, I will keep an eye on him." Jia Yun replied with a smile.

The attacker said goodbye and left. After the Taoist went out, he moved a table and chairs from nowhere, and set up a fortune-telling booth on the left hand side of the door.

Miraculously, as soon as the Taoist priest sat down, someone came forward to tell his fortune. After a while, dozens of people gathered around to watch the fun, and along with it, the business in Jia Yun's shop gradually improved.

While staring at the Taoist priest, Jia Yun taught Jia how to put the bowl, quickly took it out of the pot, boiled it, burned it, cut it into sections, and put it into the bowl...

"Brother Yun, add two pancakes..."

"Brother Yun, business is booming!"

"Shopkeeper, calculate how much money I have here!"

The guests chattered all over the place, but Jia Yun took it easy and managed the store in an orderly manner.

It wasn't until the sun rose that the number of guests gradually decreased.

Jia Yun counted and sold more than 80 bowls of stewed fire this morning. Based on an average of 20 Wen per bowl, it would be [-], or [-] taels of silver.

But in fact, Jia Yun counted, and there was a total of [-] yuan, which showed that some people ordered a little too much.

Looking back, Jia Yun saw that the three of them were sweating profusely.

It opened today, and the three of them were still a little unaccustomed to it. At the beginning, when there was no one there, they were terribly panicked. Later, when there were more people, they became even more panicked.

Wiping off his sweat, Jia was a little embarrassed beside Jia Yun and said, "Brother Yun, you have learned a lot today!"

"Hehe, brother, this is how business is done. From now on, you will know that no matter when you are busy or free, don't panic. The more you panic, the easier it is to make trouble!" Jia Yun said with a smile, and did not criticize them.

Because in his previous life, he also came here like this, and his mental quality gradually improved after a long time.

Jia nodded and said with a smile, "Fortunately, you are with me today, otherwise we would really be caught blind!"

None of the four had eaten yet, so Jia Yun made four more bowls while she was free.

Came to the table and sat down, Jia Yun ate and said: "It may be busy for a while at noon, I will take you with me for a few days, you need to get familiar with it earlier, so I can concentrate on studying earlier. "

On the other hand, Cuihong and Xiu'e are more clever, and they can learn everything quickly. Whether it is serving dishes and washing dishes, or helping to make noodle cakes, they can do it well.

Jia Yun plans to observe for a while longer. If the two have been so capable, it is also possible to pay them piecework wages at that time.
