Shangshi female official

In Wutai Town, there is a very popular meat sauce shop. The proprietress of that shop is a disabled person who is missing a finger. She is pitiful. The key is that the meat sauce is fragrant and chewy, and can be eaten hot or cold. Pair it with a glass of spicy wine, and the taste will be the envy of gods.

Every morning early in the morning, there are people waiting in line in front of the soy sauce shop, just for that delicious bite of soy pork.

"Today, their meat was sold out again early in the morning."

"Really? Oops, their meat is getting harder and harder to steal now."

In the teahouse at the entrance of the town, people chatted about daily life. This evening, a man and a woman from outside the country came and ordered two bowls of tea.

The two of them were sitting in the teahouse. The woman wiped the sweat from her face. When she heard the news that the butcher shop had been robbed, she turned around excitedly and said, "Old man, may I ask which direction to go to this butcher shop?"

The old man said: "Don't think about buying meat today, it has been sold out long ago."

"I don't want to buy anything today. I have to know where the place is if I rush early tomorrow morning? You are kind enough to show me the way."

The old man pointed to the fork in the road leading into the town and said, "Go to the right and you will reach the river at the end. Go west to the river and you will find the second shop.

"Thank you old man."

The woman drank up a bowl of tea, put down the tea money, took her companion and ran in the direction pointed by the old man. The old man turned around and continued chatting with the people around him over his own tea.

The two found the sauce butcher shop. There was a strong aroma of sauce at the door of the shop. The woman sniffed it and said: "In addition to the commonly used star anise, cinnamon and cardamom, there are also some special spices added to it."

"You have such a good nose, why don't you come in and ask?"

The door of the shop was now closed. The two of them raised their hands and knocked. A woman's voice inside shouted: "There is no meat today. Come back tomorrow."

"I'm not here to eat meat. I want to ask the shopkeeper to teach me how to make a dish."

"What dish?"

"Glass chicken."

Immediately there was a creaking sound from the door of the shop. It was the people inside who were unloading wooden slats. After unloading two or three slats, the owner of the shop burst into tears and shouted: "Eve!"

Wang Yifu hugged Shen Ci's elbow and said with tears in her eyes: "Shen Ci, we finally meet again after six years."

Shen Ci saw Yue Hong behind her and said, "Come in quickly."

The shop is not big, and there are two tables just at the entrance to serve as a counter. There is a door behind the counter. Going inside the door is her kitchen, where the meat to be sold tomorrow is stewed in a large iron pot.

"I heard in the teahouse that the meat you cook is very fragrant and makes people greedy when it smells like it."

“Being able to make a living selling some soy-based meat is already very valuable.”

At this time, a man walked in from the kitchen door, carrying a round dustpan with two cucumbers and green pumpkins in it. He moved the things to the cutting board and smiled at Shen Ci: "Is this a guest?"

Shen Ci walked up to the man and introduced him: "This is my husband, his name is Zhang Ning. These two are good friends who lived and died in the palace before, Wang Yifu and Yue Hong."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were coming, so I could buy some good food earlier?"

Wang Yifu smiled and said, "Brother-in-law Shen, we just found this shop. How did Shen Ci know we would come?"

"Then I'm really sorry. I can only cut some sauce meat to serve you two."

"This meat smells delicious. We won't be embarrassed to trouble Brother-in-law Shen to cut it more."

Zhang Ning laughed out loud and said, "Excellent, excellent." He turned around, picked up the kitchen knife, and started cutting vegetables. His posture was exactly the same as Shen Ci's before when cutting vegetables.

Shen Ci hooked Wang Yifu's arm and walked into the small courtyard behind. This small courtyard only had a well and a thatched pavilion with a square table and benches in the pavilion.

Shen Ci poured tea for the two of them and said, "It's rare for you to come. If you stay a few more days, I will entertain you well."

Wang Yifu smiled and said: "Then we are welcome."

After Shen Ci sat down, she hid her hands under the table. Wang Yifu took a sip of tea and suddenly asked, "Have you heard about it?"

Shen Ci understood what she was talking about as soon as he heard it, "I heard that Shangshi Bureau is gone."

"The Shangshi Bureau has been abolished in the palace. From now on, the Shangshi Female Officer will only serve the meals, and all the cooking will be handed over to the Shangshi Supervisor." Shen Ci sighed softly after hearing this, "We are always too insignificant."

"I feel relieved to see that you are living well here. My brother-in-law's surname is Zhang, could it be..."

"You are right. I had just left the imperial city and before I left the capital, the Queen asked someone to find me and find such a person for me. I asked him if he would like to come back to his hometown with me. He thought it was good. , we settled here.”

"Your Majesty, you have always been kind and gentle."

"Eve, what are your plans?"

"I just came from Xinyan's house and handed over the things she entrusted to me to her parents."

When Shen Ci heard the name Xu Xinyan, she sighed again, "How are her parents?"

"Both of them are fine. The two elders both seem to have long-lived looks. But getting Xu Xinyan's things makes me sad for a while."

"Forget it, she got her wish. You..."

"Brother Yue and I plan to travel around the mountains and rivers first. When we have enough fun, we can open a small shop like you."

Shen Ci said happily: "If it's not far away, I must go and have a taste."

"Then I'm waiting for your arrival."

"You guys wait here, I have to see how my cooking goes."

Shen Ci was worried about what her husband was doing in the kitchen and turned around to give instructions. Yue Hong looked at Shen Ci's back and suddenly asked, "How about driving on the mountain?"

"What mountain?"

"How about our shop be opened on the mountain near Baochan Temple? In the small farmhouse, we only serve one table every day. There is no menu. We just pick and eat whatever is available."

Wang Yifu laughed, "Brother Yue, will anyone else come?"

"With your craftsmanship, I'm afraid no one will come to eat it."

"You think so beautifully."

"Eve, where do you want to go?"

"Our shop should be in a place like theirs, in a town where there are people. Sister Biao sells tofu and Shen Ci sells soy sauce meat. It would be better for us to sell more vegetables and discuss with the farmers we are familiar with nearby. OK, buy their chicken, duck, fish, eggs, vegetables and fruits..."

"Then we have to make a good plan, or we can find some of our former brothers and let them raise us."

"It's also a good idea. Then we can recruit a few apprentices and turn it into a big restaurant."

"The calculations are quite loud."

"Of course, the price can't be low, but I can't sell my craftsmanship cheaply."

"Okay, okay, as long as you are happy, we will raise the bar!"

Shen Ci, who had been tinkering in the kitchen for a while, saw the two of them sitting at the table and thinking. The warm red sunset stretched their shadows very long. Yue Hong was sitting upright, and Wang Yifu was kneeling on the bench, leaning on his elbows. The more we chatted at the table, the happier we became.

Holding Xiaodie's peanuts in her hands, Shen Ci turned back at the door and did not go out.

All of them will tend to be dull, but full of life.
