After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich

Chapter 213 Making Braised Pork

The four carriages bumped all the way, and finally arrived at Yangnan Village at the bottom of Yunxi Town before it was completely dark.

It is some distance away from Yaoyu Village, further than going to town.

Therefore, the helpers Lu Lizheng is looking for are mainly from Yangnan Village and its surrounding villages, mainly to take care of poor families. Those with orphans, widowers, seriously ill people, and other special circumstances will be given priority by Lu Lizheng.

Then eliminate those who are lazy and have bad character. Because the situation is written in detail, Xu Mengxiao, with Lu He's "help", has almost understood most of it and is just waiting to make the final choice.

At this time, she and Lu He and Lu Hai brought a group of twelve people up to Zhuangzi.

"I'm afraid these children are not feeling very well after the bumps. Please quickly pack up a room and settle them down."

"Yes, thank you, Master!" Tian Ping was very grateful for her kindness and consideration. Although several children under one year old suffered a lot with him, the bumps of the carriage were different.

Besides, they haven't eaten for a day.

Xu Mengxiao stopped Mrs. Xue again, "Go and clean up the kitchen and make a pot of thick white porridge. These steamed buns are already cold. It's winter. You can eat them after they're warm."

Xu Mengxiao asked them to buy the steamed buns on the way back. Since they were neither good nor late, they were completely cold, so Xu Mengxiao asked them to come back and heat them up before eating them.

After Mrs. Xue left, a few older children quickly went to help, and the extra people hurriedly packed up other things.

Xu Mengxiao asked them to do it tomorrow.

As for the things Mrs. Qian and Tian Ping bought back, Xu Mengxiao also inspected them and found that they were all old rice noodles, sweet potato and wolfberry, which were cheap and affordable.

The beddings were brought back directly. They were all black and old cotton. It was not a big problem to sleep on, but they were not very warm. The advantage was that they were cheap and each bed was made very thick. They only needed to sew the last layer with linen. That's it.

This was a satisfaction they had not experienced for a long time.

The clothes have been measured for each person, and it will take some time to tailor them. Mrs. Qian did not dare to be vague, otherwise she would just bring the cloth back and make it herself. This was not because she was afraid that the master would have other things to tell them, and they would not be able to spare the time. I had to buy some clothes, so I ordered them at a tailor's shop.

There were more than a dozen people, each making a set of clothes. In addition to the thin old clothes they were wearing, they could barely afford a change of clothes.

Fortunately, there was no need to change clothes frequently in winter, so Mrs. Qian made the clothes warmer. In the end, she spent five and a half taels of silver. Mrs. Qian said some kind words to them and taught them some skills in tailoring. , and finally settled it with five taels of silver.

As for Tian Ping, he reported to Xu Mengxiao one by one what exactly he bought and how much he spent. Xu Mengxiao discovered that he could read, which was an added surprise.

"When you have time, you can learn accounting again. You can take care of these children more. If you teach them well, they will have the opportunity to do things in the future, and the monthly income will definitely not be small."

"Thank you, girl, thank you, girl!" Tian Ping couldn't tell how excited he was to receive Xu Mengxiao's personal approval.

He has always taught his children himself, and after spending a lot of time teaching them, and cultivating them according to what Miss Xu said, there should be no problem in using them in the future.

Who would want to spend their life doing menial jobs without being able to get ahead if they can find a good career?
When they put away a large number of farm tools such as wide hoes, pointed hoes, rakes, brooms, and kitchen utensils such as pots, pans, and buckets, the rich aroma of rice also spread out.

The stomachs of a group of people suddenly growled loudly.

The three of them, Xu Mengxiao, couldn't help but be aroused. They stayed and ate a bowl of white porridge with them, wiped their mouths, gave some instructions, and went back under the heavy night.The Tian family group and the two wives finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they had passed the master's test.

"We have to work hard in the future. If the master is willing to buy us back, it means he is kind-hearted. As long as we do a good job, he will not treat us badly."

"Yes, the master has only one request. As long as we are practical and dedicated, even those who don't know how to do it can learn slowly. He also said that such a big village will be mainly left to our care and management from now on. Let's get up early tomorrow and go Take a look around.”

With vision and motivation for the future, a group of people got up before dawn, cleaning up the Zhuangzi, and patrolling the fields. The two women also divided their labors, one was mainly responsible for taking care of the children, and was responsible for doing some sewing. and scrubbing.

One of them assists Tian Ping, who not only sets fire to cook, but also manages and utilizes various terrains.

Children... Xu Mengxiao also said that those who can help should be helped, and they should not be too harsh and burden them. First, let them learn things well with Tian Ping, learn reading, arithmetic, and even deeper accounting.

Because of this, the Tian Ping family is willing to pay no monthly payment for three years, which is equivalent to working for nothing, with food and accommodation included, as a way to thank Xu Mengxiao for helping them.

Xu Mengxiao agreed, but if they did well, she would give them rewards from time to time, otherwise they would lack motivation in the long run.

In this way, they tried each other and made concessions to reach coordination and unity, and the new year was approaching.

Xu Mengxiao has been teaching her mother how to make various kinds of braised pork these days. Because vegetables are not expensive to sell, which is equivalent to earning less for hard work, she mainly teaches braised pork.

As for the chicken feet and duck livers before, the modern mechanical processing and freezing preservation methods here are not as good as buying so many chicken feet and duck livers for marinating, so she also thought about making whole meats, such as braised pig head meat, sauce Spare ribs, tribute goose, saltwater duck, Baiwei chicken, etc.

They are all in one piece, so it won’t be too troublesome to buy raw materials.

Today, she was carrying a large bag of marinated ingredients to the west of the village. She lied, "Mom, that's it. I've had people pack a lot of them, and they're all ready-made. If you want to make a chicken, two small packets are enough.”

"This..." Wang curiously opened one of the marinated gauze bags.

Seeing that there were ingredients such as strawberry, cinnamon, white cardamom and star anise inside, which Xiaoxiao had taught her, she blinked in confusion.

"Then what do I need to do? If others find out about this marinated bun, won't they be able to make it just like me?"

"So this marinade bag is an extremely important secret recipe. Different colors correspond to different flavors. Mom, you must guard it carefully and never fake it. Therefore, the process of marinating it is not easy. I just give it to you. Save yourself a little trouble."

Xu Lingyan reacted quickly, "With this braised meat bag, I can save a lot of complicated steps, and I can also make more braised meat for sale. Don't think it's easy, the quantity is large, and it's time-consuming to braise it." "

Mrs. Wang naturally knew this. Before there were braised pork buns, it would have taken a long time just to braise a pot of meat. She felt that the price was not too high, because it was really complicated and difficult to make.

Now that we have this braised ingredients package, we can’t spend less time marinating it. We need to watch the fire, clean the ingredients, and then dress them up and take them out for sale...

"You really need to use this marinade bag, otherwise I won't have time to take care of Zihan."

At this point, Xu Mengxiao felt a little melancholy again, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Let Lu He take Zihan over the next two days to see if he can convince the famous teacher in Fucheng."

Mrs. Wang's expression brightened, "It will be no problem for Lu He to take action. I have never seen a person with such outstanding temperament as Lu He. That famous teacher will definitely agree!"
