Reborn peasant girl: I became rich overnight by traveling to sea

Chapter 53 Setting up a stall with new dishes

After dinner with the Guo family, Chang Pingning went to the yard and planned to boil the newly purchased iron pot so that it would last longer when used in the future.

The iron pot has some weight. Fortunately, Chang Pingning did farm work at home before getting married. After getting married, he carried buckets of seafood at Guo's house, so he had a lot of strength.Therefore, when she picked up the iron pot, it didn't take much effort.

Not long after, when Chang Pingning was about to lift the iron pot and pour the water to wash the pot on the ground, Chang Pingning felt Guo Bomo coming to his side, but he didn't say a word.Chang Pingning didn't understand what was wrong with Guo Bomo, but right now she had more important things to do.

Pour water into the pot.

"Let me help you." Guo Bomo said, stepped forward to lift the iron pot, poured the sewage in the iron pot onto the ground, and picked up the iron pot to wash it a few more times.Finally, I took the iron pot to the kitchen, took down the original iron pot in the kitchen, put in a new one, and slowly boiled the water in the pot over low heat.

Seeing this, Chang Pingning took out a small piece of fat meat with skin from the pile of things he bought in the afternoon and threw it into the dried iron pot.

The two people in the kitchen were quiet, only the lard in the iron pot made a sizzling sound.

"Do you have anything to tell me?" Chang Pingning asked. This abnormal atmosphere made her feel that there must be something on Guo Bomo's mind.

Guo Bomo let out a long sigh, took a small bowl, walked to the sugar jar in the kitchen, poured a bowl of sugar water and handed it to Chang Pingning: "Ning Ning, the boat is sailing tomorrow."

Chang Pingning was stunned. She didn't expect Guo Bomo to leave home so soon. She took the bowl of sugar water and drank it in small sips.

The kitchen became quiet again for a while, only the fat meat in the pot was sizzling.

It will inevitably take some time to open a new pot. After opening the iron pot, Chang Pingning went to the yard to get a sea urchin, mixed it with the lard flowing in the pot, and made sea urchin fried rice for Guo Bomo.

Considering that the family had just had dinner not long ago, Chang Pingning did not put so much sea urchin and rice.Therefore, it came out quickly.

"Try tomorrow's new food." Chang Pingning handed the sea urchin fried rice to Guo Bomo with a muffled voice.

Guo Bomo also took it silently and began to eat.

The aroma of food wafting from the kitchen quickly attracted several children of the Guo family. The third and fourth children rushed into the kitchen with their little sister.

"Sister-in-law, have you made delicious food again?" Everyone was very excited, looking at the iron pot on the stove with shining eyes.

Chang Pingning was amused by the reactions of his younger brothers and sisters. Each of them took a small mouthful and handed it to them: "Why are your noses so sharp? My sister-in-law just made some sea urchin fried rice for your elder brother to try. You guys also have a taste. Don't eat too much." Too much, otherwise it will be difficult to digest at night and you will not be able to sleep."

Chang Pingning said, scratching the little noses of his three younger brothers and sisters.Then I noticed that there was one person missing.

"An An, where is your second brother?" Chang Pingning did not see Guo Zhongzhou.

"The second brother is in the yard. He said he doesn't want to eat." Guo Ling'an ate one grain of rice at a time.

Guo Bomo was relatively close to this second brother. When he heard what his little sister said, he held a bowl and said to Chang Pingning, "I'm going to see the second brother." He walked out of the kitchen.

Everyone in the Guo family knew that going to sea was dangerous, but Guo Bomo seemed determined to go to sea. No matter whether it was Ye Xiuying's persuasion or Chang Pingning's persuasion, Guo Bomo did not make Guo Bomo agree not to go to sea.

Guo Zhongzhou, who was sorting the seafood he picked up in the yard, would occasionally complain to his father in his heart: Why didn't his father persuade his eldest brother?

But the more complaints I have about my eldest brother: My sister-in-law’s charcoal-grilled oysters in the morning were obviously eaten by so many merchants. My eldest brother could have followed his sister-in-law to set up a stall at the port, so why did he have to go fishing on a fishing boat?Doing such a dangerous job.

"You brat, why don't you go to the kitchen to eat?" Guo Bomo rubbed Guo Zhongzhou's head, "We'll share the seafood later. Go wash your hands first and try the sea urchin fried rice your sister-in-law made in the new pot while it's hot." As he spoke, he gently shook the bowl in his hand.Guo Zhongzhou straightened up, looked at his elder brother in silence for a while, then took off his gloves and washed his hands.When he came back, he took the bowl from his elder brother and took the last bite.He was worried that his eldest brother would be in danger when he went to sea. He was so preoccupied that he couldn't taste the fried rice at all.

Guo Bomo saw his brother eating so fast and smiled and asked him to eat slower.

"Zhong Zhou, once you go out to the sea, you will know how vast the world on the sea is." Guo Bomo said, looking at the starry sky above, and then his eyes fell back to the Guo family's kitchen.

Soon, Guo Bomo put away his second brother's clean rice bowl and took it to the kitchen.

Guo Zhongzhou made a face at his eldest brother's back. He didn't like the vast sea.

Early the next morning, several people from the Guo family saw Guo Bomo off the ship at the port.

When Chang Pingning was leaving, he specially handed Guo Bomo a food basket to eat on the boat at noon.

Guo Bomo was a little dumbfounded. The ship would definitely provide food to the boatmen after it sailed for so long, so there was no need to prepare meals by himself.However, he looked at Chang Pingning's serious eyes and remembered that when he just woke up in the morning, he heard the movement in the kitchen and took it.

"Thank you, madam." Guo Bomo said, turned around and got on the boat, saying goodbye to the Guo family.

After watching Guo Bomo's ship sail away, Chang Pingning told his mother-in-law that he was going to deliver seafood to the town, but was stopped by other merchants at the port.

"Madam Guo, apart from oysters, are there any new dishes to open our eyes today?" She sounded very expectant.

Some vendors also shouted: "If Mrs. Guo's oysters are not enough, I have enough oysters!"

Seeing this, Ye Xiuying asked Chang Pingning to stay directly at the port to run a stall, so there was no need to go to town with her and then return to the port.

Chang Pingning looked at the expectant eyes of the surrounding merchants and vendors. Chang Pingning had no choice but to smile apologetically at Ye Xiuying, and then told the people around her that she would be out of the stall in a moment. You are welcome to try today's sea urchin fried rice and charcoal grilled sea oysters. .

Sea urchin fried rice is more popular than charcoal grilled oysters.

Some well-informed merchants, after taking a bite of sea urchin fried rice, squeezed directly to the front of the stall to ask Chang Pingning.

"Madam Guo, do you know the chef at the Cyclamen Restaurant in Changhe Town? I've only heard that this restaurant sells this sea urchin fried rice."

After hearing such a question, Chang Pingning didn't know how to answer the other party. After all, she had sold the recipe for sea urchin fried rice to Chef Wang of Cyclamen.She thought about it and realized that Meng Xia had mentioned before that Cyclamen hoped that they would help tell the merchants that if any merchants like to eat seafood, they can go to Cyclamen, where there are more seafood.

After thinking for a while, Chang Pingning replied: "This guest, you have a really tricky tongue. I heard that Cyclamen was selling this sea urchin fried rice before. Sea urchins happened to be sold cheaply recently, so I bought some myself and made them at home. Think about it.

"If you like seafood, you can go to Cyclamen and try the sea urchin fried rice there. And I heard that there are some new dishes in Cyclamen recently."

After listening to Chang Pingning's words, some merchants gathered together to discuss something.

Some people still remember yesterday's oysters: "Madam Guo, are you not selling oysters today?"

Chang Pingning recalled the sales strategy mentioned by Meng Xia before and told the customers in front of the stall: "Oysters are also sold today! Moreover, if everyone buys sea oysters and sea urchin fried rice at the same time, each oyster will be five cents cheaper, today only. ."
