Chapter 28 New Dishes

Yan Yi looked Liu Jiangbei up and down, and brought him into the study. Liu Qingcao didn't know what question he was asking, but she stood outside the door, seeing the smile on his mouth, she must be satisfied.

After a while, Yan Yi came out with Liu Jiangbei, the smile on his face was still there.

"School will start soon, and there are many students in the school. Where does the little girl live, and is it convenient to go to and from school?"

"Master Yan, my family is in Shihe Village. It takes an hour to make a bullock cart. I plan to let Jiangbei live in the school, so that it will not be too fast to go back and forth."

"Okay, I'll ask my servants to prepare a set of daily necessities later."

"Excuse me, Mr. Yan, what do you think is the cost of this bundle of repairs and accommodation?"

"Shuxiu pays [-] taels a quarter, one tael a quarter, and another five hundred wen for board and lodging at my place."

"Okay, then I'll pay for one season first. It's one, two, five, and Master Yan will keep it."

After listening to Master Yan's words, Liu Qingcao took out the money and handed it to Master Yan, thinking in her heart that this bundle of repairs is not cheap, no wonder the people don't send their babies to the school.

A large family of ordinary people, after a year of hard work on the land and paying taxes, can have five taels left over, which is considered a good life. Pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

After handing in Shu Xiu, Liu Jiangbei can go to school, one day off in January, and it will take some time for the next meeting, she wants to take him around the street right now, buy some food that can be put away, and It's better to be hungry when you are hungry.

After a round trip, Liu Qingcao bought a lot of things, including food and food. Finally, Liu Qingcao took him to a noodle shop to eat a bowl of egg noodles, and put twenty copper coins on Liu Jiangbei's body. He sent it back to Master Yan.

Liu Qingcao thought, Liu Jiangbei stayed with Master Yan and let him study with Master Yan for two more days so that he could adapt to the new environment faster. food expenses.

She arranged Liu Jiangbei, walked around the street, bought rice, noodles, meat and vegetables, went to the end of the street to get a sickle that was customized last time at the blacksmith shop, bought an iron pot, and then carried her things leisurely , went to the place where the ox carts were kept.

There were three of them when they came, and she was the only one when they came back. She was quiet. At first, she felt nothing. When she returned to the yard, she felt that something was missing.

After eating a bowl of noodles in the town, she didn't feel hungry. Liu Qingcao washed the offal by herself, fired the kiln, and went to the mountain.

When she went to the mountain to cut firewood last time, she found that there were many leaves for making cold tofu. This time, the new dish she told Ge Hongshan was this cold tofu.

Following his memory, Liu Qingcao quickly found the place where Guanyin leaves grew.

Liu Qingcao put down the basket, picked up the sickle, cut off the young leaves one by one, and put them in the basket.

Avalokitesvara leaves are very light, but they take up space. Liu Qingcao didn't want to run back and forth every day, so he simply cut the amount for two days at once. Any more will not be used, and it will be wasted in the end.

Two days' worth, tightly packed into a basket, was almost enough. Looking at the sharp leaves, Liu Qingcao was bouncing on his back, and found that it was easy.

Carrying a very light pannier, Liu Qingcao walked slowly on the way back. On the way, she passed a large pool. She stopped to take a look, and there were quite a few shadows of fish weighing three to four catties moving around. She couldn't see clearly. What species is it, but she is sure that the fish raised in this water quality will taste good.

Looking at the fish swimming back and forth in the deep pool, Liu Qingcao felt itchy, but without tools, she could only watch.

Except for the scattered seeds of potatoes and willows in the mountain, she has already dug them all up. She has also turned around the other surrounding plants and found nothing major. If you go further in, there will be many She cherished her life against the ferocious beast, and dared not go further inside.

On the way back, Liu Qingcao saw that many wild fruits were ripe, so she picked some and went back to try making jam.

He stopped and stopped along the way, and when he returned to the yard, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

The cold tofu can't be made too early, the water needs to be melted too early, and Liu Qingcao can't save all the work for the night, so she piled up the work of stewing the meat, stewing the meat in the afternoon, and making cold tofu at night.

The picked Avalokitesvara leaves need to be cleaned, Liu Qingcao quickly sorted and cleaned them, and put them in the woodshed.

The job of stewing meat is brine, which is very simple, just need to burn fire.

While lighting the fire, she boiled the newly bought iron pot.

When the meat was marinated, Liu Qingcao quickly scooped them up and put them into the basin, and the brine was also stirred up and placed separately.

Working alone, she was indeed very busy. As soon as she finished doing this, she immediately started making dinner for herself again. She was a little hungry before the last meal.

It is very convenient to eat alone, just get some noodles and eat pancakes.

Having dinner early, Liu Qingcao took a walk in his field to digest food, looking at this and then that, every plant was growing very strong, and no bugs and ants were found.

Looking at the seedlings in the field, Liu Qingcao could imagine what the field would be like two months later.

"I have to water and fertilize the vegetable garden tomorrow."

She pawed at the soil in the vegetable garden for about an inch before she saw some moist soil exposed.

The weather was too hot, anyway, it was higher than her summer temperature in modern times.

After returning from shopping, the sky was getting dark, but the heat was still in the air. Liu Qingcao fetched water, wiped his face, quickly took out the Guanyin leaf, wrapped it in a fine cloth, poured two ladles of water into the basin , and then keep rubbing.

Half a basket of Avalokitesvara leaves, rubbed two big pots of cold tofu out.

Liu Qingcao felt that this cold tofu was really a zero-cost investment, and it could make a lot of money for a dish.

It will take a while for the cold tofu to take shape. She is not in a hurry, anyway, it has already been made. She will move it into the firewood house and put it there. It will be brought to Huibailou tomorrow, and it will be ready for Ge Hongshan.

Originally, she planned to wait for a few days to bring out this new dish, but on the way back, she was exposed to the heat wave in the air, so she didn't want to wait any longer. This cold tofu goes well with this weather. her loss.

At night, Liu Qingcao closed the courtyard door, and moved two bricks against the door. Looking at the secure door, Liu Qingcao clapped her hands, washed and fell asleep.

After a sweet sleep, Liu Qingcao got up, dressed and cooked neatly, and filled her stomach. She drove the ox cart to the town and sent the things to Huibailou.

In Huibailou, when Liu Qingcao put the new dishes in front of Ge Hongshan, he was so excited that he didn't sit or stand, didn't speak, just looked at it like that.

Seeing him like this, Liu Qingcao opened her mouth.

"Gerber, this is the cold tofu I made. It's perfect for eating in this weather. If you add more seasonings, the taste will be quite different."

"Oh? Add seasoning? How do you do it?" Ge Hongshan picked out a piece of cold tofu and put it in his mouth. It was indeed cold and slippery.

"I'll go to the kitchen and make two copies. You can try them before making a decision."

"Okay, I'll go and have a look too."

Ge Hongshan couldn't wait to sit up, and took her to the small kitchen.

In the kitchen, Liu Qingcao made a portion of onion, ginger, garlic, chili oil, salt, and vinegar in proportion, and poured it on the prepared cold tofu. Then she dug a spoonful of sugar from the sugar bowl and put it in another After finishing the bowl of cold tofu, he looked at Ge Hongshan with a smile.

"That's it, Uncle Garrison, is it okay if you taste it now?"

Without hesitation, Ge Hongshan picked up the chopsticks, gently stirred the seasoning and cold tofu, then picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

Liu Qingcao watched him put them into his mouth one by one, until he finished eating a bowl and still couldn't get enough of it.

Liu Qingcao looked at Ge Hongshan like this, and wanted to laugh a little. Normally, you can’t eat too much after tasting, otherwise it will affect the taste of other dishes, but Ge Hongshan is different. He is delicious. As long as it is delicious, he I like it, there is no problem of smell.

Liu Qingcao watched Ge Hongshan finish two bowls of cold tofu with different flavors before asking.

"Well, Uncle Gerrard, are you satisfied?"
