Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 222 Spicy Cabbage

Hong Luan looked down on these peasant women from the bottom of her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

"This well water looks very sweet, I have to taste it." Hongluan walked towards a well, took two sips of water, and praised a few words.

After drinking the water, he squatted down to Mitsui's side to chat with the women.

Soon, everyone knew that the new lady was called Ding Xiaolian, and Hongluan also found out the news she wanted from these people, and asked the lady to return.

"The maids around me are all so good-looking and eloquent. I don't know how outstanding the lady is." Someone praised.

"That's needless to say? I just met her. She has a good figure. Her skin is whiter than winter snow. She looks more beautiful than a fairy in the sky."

"He came from Lingzhou City. His family background must be extraordinary. Such a noble status will surely calm down Shen Xi's wronged soul."

"Isn't it? Even if a country girl like Shen Xi becomes a ghost, she won't dare to show herself in front of such a noble young lady."

……

On the side of the Wang family's old house, the plaque at the gate was replaced with "Yingxue Residence, and the inside and outside of the courtyard were also renovated, and plum blossoms were planted, which made this vacant haunted house look brand new.

The courtyard door was wide open, Ding Xiaolian was sitting in the spacious front yard, basking in the warm winter sun and kneading sunflower seeds, Hongluan came in with her skirt in her hands.

"Miss, the maidservant has inquired clearly."

"Say it quickly." Ding Xiaolian sat up straight, her eyes full of expectation.

"He lives in the north of the village, and his wife's name is Shen Yu'an, but...'

"But what? Come on."

"I heard that his legs are lame and his face is disfigured. I'm afraid he won't be the most beautiful man in the Zhou Dynasty."

Ding Xiaolian gave Hongluan a gouged look: "Who is your young lady? Your young lady has secretly admired him for many years, how could she despise him for such a small flaw?"

"Miss, are you going to snatch him away from that Shen Yu'an?"

"That's right, I have to make the Night King reconcile with that country bumpkin, and then marry me. Of course, don't let him know that I already know his identity. I want to have a touching scene with him of 'Miss Qianjin falls in love with a poor scholar'. .,

"Miss, he's not a scholar, he's a hunter now'

"You want to talk too much?" Ding Xiaolian gave Hong Luan a gouged look, "In short, the character of this lady must be gentle, kind, not greedy for power, not dislike the poor, loving the rich, and a talented lady. She must save stray cats and feed stray dogs. Be kind and kind and be kind, do you hear me?"

"Miss, are there stray cats and dogs in this kind of countryside?"

"If you dare to lift your shoulders and smash your skull, go and get Miss Ben's piano."

"Yes, miss."

Soon, the melodious sound of the piano poured out like water. Ji Xun, who was walking out of the house and was about to go hunting in the mountains, couldn't help but stop when he heard the sound, listened carefully for a while, and praised that it was not bad.

After Ji Xun left, Ji Feng ran into the yard with three or four friends aged six or seven, took the three baby rabbits out of the rabbit nest, and ran out of the yard with his arms around them.

"It's not too dirty to hold a rabbit again." Shen Yuan rushed out with a stick when he heard the movement, and the little guys ran out of the courtyard laughing and running away.

Shen Yuan shouted behind him: "Don't hug your belly, hold your ears, you can't feed wet vegetable leaves, it will cause diarrhea."

"Understood, sister-in-law." Ji Feng responded, and ran away without a trace.

Shen Yuan went back to the house, opened the crock pot to look through the spicy cabbage pickled a few days ago.

During this period of time, the roof was renovated, the yard was built and the walls were built, and other miscellaneous things were spent. Seeing that the money bag is shrinking day by day, it is time to make good money.

I tasted the taste of spicy cabbage, wow, even Shen Yuan couldn't help admiring, the spring water in the space is really good, amazing!
The spicy cabbage marinated in this water is fresher, crisper and more fragrant than the modern ones. It is simply amazing!
Shen Yuan took out two and a half pieces, cut them into bowls, and prepared to give them to Aunt Zhou to taste.

When the time comes to open up the market for spicy dishes, I will tell Aunt Zhou the secret recipe and let her be responsible for pickling.

After making up his mind, Shen Yuan took the basket and went to the entrance of the village.

"Auntie, why are you eating breakfast so late?" As soon as Shen Yuan entered the main room, Aunt Zhou came out with a bowl of cold rice covered with boiled cabbage.

"I've been busy at the brick factory in the morning. I just came back. Come in and sit down." Aunt Zhou greeted Shen Yuan to sit down, poured a bowl of tea for Shen Yuan, and poured a bowl for the meal herself.

"Eat slowly, ma'am." Shen Yuan grinned at Madam Zhou, "I have some good things for dinner here, ma'am, try it." Then he lifted the cloth covering the basket, took out the bowl of spicy cabbage and put it on the table.

"What is this? It looks like Chinese cabbage." Mrs. Zhou said, she put a piece of pickled cabbage leaves wrapped in chili juice into a bowl, and popped it into her mouth with the rice. After chewing twice, her eyes were surprised. stare.

"Here, is this Chinese cabbage? Why is it so delicious?" Before finishing speaking, the chopsticks stretched out again, and a bowl of rice was eaten in two or three bites.

After eating, Aunt Zhou put down her chopsticks, and put away the remaining half bowl of spicy cabbage like a treasure: "Leave it to your uncle and brothers to taste."

"Ma'am, this is called spicy cabbage. Yu'an made a big jar and prepared to sell it in the county."

"What? Yu Yu made this by himself? How, how is this possible?" Aunt Zhou almost dropped her jaw in shock, thinking she bought it somewhere.

"Didn't you make it yourself? If the aunt thinks it is delicious, it will definitely open up the market." Shen Yuyan looked at her with a smile, "When the time comes, I will tell the recipe of making 'spicy cabbage' to the aunt, aunt, you pick it Yu Eucalyptus is responsible for the sale."

Aunt Zhou waved her hands again and again: "How can such a good thing leak the formula? Auntie can help you, but nothing else."

"Oh aunt, didn't you still say that you want to treat Yu'an as your daughter before, and now you're talking outside, anyway, I don't care about it, if there is a market for spicy cabbage, I must cooperate with aunt to do this business together .”

Shen Yuan shook Aunt Zhou's hand while talking, pinching and pounding on her arm, which made her overjoyed.

"Okay, ok, auntie wants to have a daughter, and I am willing to treat auntie as my own mother, and auntie can wake up from her dreams with laughter." Aunt Zhou smiled and brushed Shen Yu's hair, "You can go to the market with confidence, and then auntie will specialize Responsible for pickling and ensuring sufficient supply.”

"Okay, it's settled like this." Shen Yu'an nodded excitedly, "Then I'll take the spicy cabbage to the county today, and the aunt will lend me the ox cart, and I will definitely bring back good news tonight."

"Why don't you feel relieved when you go to the aunt alone? Ask Xingwang to go with you."

Not long after, Shen Xingwang was called back from the tile factory by Mrs. Zhou, and the two drove the ox cart to the gate of Shen Yu'an's house, carried a jar of spicy cabbage onto the ox cart, and then drove to the county.
