Jinghua little cook

Chapter 150 Eating wontons

On the day of the Qiqiao Festival, Bai Ye suddenly felt that it was too unpleasant to go north.

Especially now, when the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, there are lights and music in his ears, and there are people who miss him in front of him, his mood seems to have fallen to the bottom of the valley.

However, not good does not mean that he will regret it.

For the sake of all the people, but also for one person, he should also fight together to kill the jackal hearts of the old ghosts in northern Xinjiang.

Such a tangled mood made him shoot every arrow without hesitation, hitting ten out of ten shots, and a hundred shots hitting a hundred hits.

After a while, the stall owner was sweating.

Lu Xiling also matched the stall owner's mood.

She considers herself not a loser.

But this also scores the case!
He didn't know the disparity in strength between himself and the man, and he didn't care about how hard it was for his daughter's family to wait for him outside for an hour. It was really unreasonable for him not to let her go in the competition.

An arrow was shot, and it didn't touch the target at all. Lu Xiling threw down the bow and arrow and said, "No more playing!"

Bai Ye held the gift basket with a pleasant smile.

Lu Xiling glanced at it, and became even angrier. He deserved that he would not be able to marry a wife for the rest of his life!

Afterwards, the two went to a small shop specializing in wontons. Although Bai Ye was still as puzzled as he was when he was a teenager today, his temper was exceptionally good.

Being so angry again made her look like a small belly.

"The store is so busy today, and I haven't eaten any evening food." Bai Ye raised his peach blossom eyes and looked at Lu Xiling fixedly.

Lu Xiling took the wonton and focused on eating.

That's all, Bai Ye's skin is enough to deceive people, and it's the same for deceiving people.

Even the shop owner who delivered the wontons praised it.

Lu Xiling sneered and said, "How good is he? Why didn't I see it?"

The innkeeper warmed up the wine, touched the heat on the pot with his hand, and walked towards the two of them with a smile, while pouring the wine, he said: "When you enter the Zhilan Room, if you don't smell its fragrance for a long time, it will melt long ago."

Lu Xiling raised her eyebrows. What the shop owner said was neither humble nor overbearing, nor overly flattering. He not only praised Bai Ye's Zhilan character, but also praised his own gentleman's nature. It was originally a joy for the listener, and it was even more pleasing when the words came from a simple and honest person.

Lu Xiling smiled.

It's really a shame for such a talking shop to stay in a small wonton shop.

But after thinking about it again, maybe people want to be leisurely in the mountains?

Bai Ye drank a glass of stomach-warming wine, and when he looked up, he happened to see the frowning and innocently smiling little lady beside him.

She's used to being a random thinker.

"I heard that you have been contacting Hu Shang recently?"

Lu Xiling recovered.

Did this person put some kind of eyeliner in front of him? How could he know everything.

"Yeah, I want to get a lot of cheese, so that in the future the store can not only make cheese buns, but also cheese sticks, cheese and egg soup, and taro cheese rolls."

There are also all kinds of cakes and biscuits... just thinking about it makes people salivate.

Seeing the happy appearance, Bai Yan also laughed.

"The Sogdians are good at merchants. Due to the clamor in the northern border, they have not been able to have close contact with the Great Zhou. I heard that they compete for the profit of the baht. A man who is twenty will have to go far away from neighboring countries."

Lu Xiling nodded with a smile.

She had read the stories of the Sogdian merchants in books, and knew that they sold almost everything.

For example, livestock, wild animals, birds, plants, wood, food, spices, medicines, textiles, as well as pigments, ores, metal products, secular utensils, even religious utensils, and books.

Counting it all together, there are hundreds of imported items.

The small calculation in Lu Xiling's heart froze.

A bottle of pepper powder costs one tael, and the purchase price is calculated at [-]% profit, which is [-] yuan, which is still a good quality and cheap.

Spices are more expensive, and medicines are more expensive, plus those that I thought of before.

The sound of big and small pearls falling on the jade plate almost blew Lu Xiling's mind.

sky--

The Sogdians are very rich.

"Little lady, eat the chicken soup wonton while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold!"

chicken soup...

No wonder her heart was beating so hard.

"If the Northern Xinjiang can be completely suppressed this time, trade will not be a problem. By then, you will have as much cheese as you want."

Lu Xiling swallowed the wonton and smiled with narrowed eyes.

"How is that possible? I have to have money to buy it."

The gentleman beside him took a sip of wine.

I just heard Lu Xiling still talking to herself: "Or you still know too little about business, do you think I don't understand business because I'm a cook? Nope—"

"The reality of all things in the world is the same as cooking. It is easy to get an ingredient, but how to preserve it is rare, not to mention how to make the best use of it."

"The same is true for business. It is good to open up border trade, but how to manage it in the future? There will be a lot of disputes between merchants."

"There is also transportation, price, manpower and material resources are all indispensable."

"Alas—there is a long way to go."

The gentleman beside him took another sip of wine.

Speechless.

Lu Xiling chewed the wontons, feeling more and more uncomfortable in her mouth.

It's not because I don't know when I can achieve cheese freedom, but because the chicken soup wontons are not delicious enough.

The soup base of chicken soup wonton is best made with black-bone chicken or grass chicken, the taste is fresh and pure.

At present, it seems that the soup base is just ordinary chicken, but there are no tonics such as wolfberry and codonopsis to make it.

Take a bite and look at the meat paste inside.

Lu Xiling frowned slightly.

Chopped too finely.

The easiest way is to mince the pork, add refined salt, oyster sauce, and water, and stir it all the time, but the key point of this step is not to chop too finely or too thickly.

It's like the best is not necessarily the most suitable, and the most suitable is not necessarily the best.Then turn your attention to the wonton wrappers.

The skin is thin enough, and when you eat it, the skin and the filling will separate with a slight movement of the spoon. Unfortunately, the taste is so-so, not that delicious and not that bad.

In other words.

Not good for a date.

"correct."

Bai Ye turned around and listened carefully.

Lu Xiling slapped the table and said, "There's Shu Brocade!"

"Shu Brocade?" Bai Ye frowned.

"That's right." Lu Xiling pushed away the chicken soup in front of her, and said solemnly, "You don't know how shocked I was when I saw Shu brocade in the shop. Those materials were hanging in front of my eyes. When the lights were on, the colors were bright and dignified. I heard that many young ladies are buying it to make autumn and winter clothes."

"Our own people think it's good after seeing it, and foreigners are even more envious after seeing it." Lu Xiling helped people analyze it carefully: "Central Sichuan is very close to the pass, and when foreign trade starts, you don't have to worry too much about freight."

Mr. Qiu said well that if you want to make a lot of money, you can't do it by working hard. You need to use your brain and a little bit of luck.

"Snapped."

The bamboo chopsticks were placed on the dining table with a loud bang.

Lu Xiling was shocked.

what happened?What did she say to upset this man?

Bai Ye put his hands on his knees and tried his best to restrain himself: "You always miss Shuzhong, do you miss your parents or other people?"
