Teach my brother-in-law

The second room of the Xiao family.

"Old Fu, haven't you finished what I asked you to do?" Xiao Er asked while drinking tea while sitting on a fur-covered chair.Xiao Er is Xiao Xiaoshui's uncle, and the younger brother of Mr. Xiao. He rarely shows up in the village on weekdays. He is quite cunning and offended many people in the village. Afterwards, he moved to the city for several years. He moved back to the village again. He used to have a big house in the village. His family brought dozens of servants and dozens of carriages back to the village.

It's only been a few days, and my mind and eyes are messed up again.

"Going back to the master, I have already found out that the tens of acres of land were sold by Lujiatan Xiao Dahai 30 years ago to Wednesday Bazi's family, and then Wednesday Bazi went to the city to do business, and the land was deserted. A few days ago, I heard that Bazi died this week, and his only son went to live in Qinzhou City. He probably won’t come back to plant this land, but the title deed couldn’t be found. I asked someone to inquire about Bazi’s son on Wednesday. , he was not born when he bought the land back then, and for more than 20 years, Ba Zi never told his son about it on Wednesday, so he didn't know that he still had a piece of land in Lujiawan. Master, don't you know that the Lin family My woman is planning to build a house on the wasteland on Wednesday Bazi, and the foundation is almost ready." Lao Fuyin said with a smile.

"There is such a thing." Xiao Er said in surprise, stroking a few white beards on his chin.

"Yes, not only the foundation has been laid, but even the blue bricks and black tiles are ready. I heard that someone from the city was invited to design the courtyard house, and a team of craftsmen was called in the town, sir. No more Once the house is built there, we will have nothing to do." The insidiousness of Lao Fu's words does not match his name, and it is said that Lao Fu has been doing some bad things in the past few decades in Xiao's mansion. .

"Go and handle this matter, remember to be clean, and don't fall for any tricks. I heard that this woman is very close to the old man He in the county government and the King Shun of Ningzhou. We don't need to mess with them. Go Let's go. I'll wait for your good news!" Mr. Xiao put down his teacup and waved his hand, and Lao Fu stepped back with a grunt

Boiled fish, Bai He's best dish, was also his favorite in his previous life.The seemingly primitive method is actually exquisite in workmanship - choose fresh live fish, and give full play to the effects of chilli and ginger to keep out the cold, nourish qi and nourish blood.The cooked meat will not become tough at all, the taste is smooth and tender, oily but not greasy, which not only removes the fishy smell, but also keeps the freshness of the fish.

"Treasurer Huang, Steward Deng. The glutinous rice wine brewed by the farm is sweet but not greasy. It is not easy to get drunk. It is best served with boiled fish in early winter. Eat fish! Little stone, who told you to eat fish gallbladder. "Bai He came out and said generously, and at the same time grabbed the chopsticks that the small stone was extending towards the fish guts. In Daohu, the fish guts are reserved for guests to eat, to show their dignity.This is what Bai He heard from the older generation recently.

"Sister." Xiao Shitou pursed his mouth and looked pitiful.

"Come here. Shitou, you eat this fish gall!" Shopkeeper Huang picked up the fish gall and put it in the bowl of Xiaoshi.

Now Shitou and Mo'er have almost become Bai He's followers.

"Shopkeeper Huang, I'll get used to him." Bai He also sat down, saying that women in the Ming Dynasty should not sit at the table where men eat and drink, but why can't they sit at Bai He's place? Are women really so worthless?He sat down with a feeling of resistance in his heart, if there was something wrong between Shopkeeper Huang and Guanshi Deng, then there would be no need to talk about future cooperation.

Bai He knew that he was being a bit angry, but shopkeeper Huang and Guanshi Deng didn't show any abnormal expressions, and even accepted Bai He to sit down very flatly, and then Yun'er also sat down. Lin Zicai has long been used to eating at the same table with Bai He, and besides, he is not a big family, so why should he share these things.

Little Shitou and Mo'er each carried a piece of fish and ran far away. They leaned against the wall and started fighting over a piece of fish, just like Xiao Wazi.

"Miss Lin, the taste of your boiled fish is really unique. I didn't expect to add this. This boiled fish with chili tastes more refreshing, especially the milky white fish soup. It is sweet but not greasy, and has a fragrant taste. , is the freshest and most delicious fish I have ever eaten. Madam Lin, I never imagined that she has such profound cooking skills at such a young age, I admire you." Steward Deng said as he put down his spoon.

"Boss Deng praised the prize. In fact, it's Steward Deng who catches good fish. No matter how good the boiled fish is, it doesn't taste like bad ingredients." Bai He thought to himself, you two bosses are used to eating big fish and meat every day. Today, I occasionally drink home-cooked dishes made in such a small place, and add a few other mountain dishes to accompany it. Scraping the oil and water in the stomach, I will definitely taste another flavor.

At the same time, Bai He also found that shopkeeper Huang's face was less happy than before, and a little more worried. It seemed that it was caused by the poor business of the restaurant. On weekdays, shopkeeper Huang always had a smile on his face. Blessed state, it has become like this in just a few days, as if I have aged ten years.

"Shopkeeper Huang, eat fish. What's the matter? I'm still thinking about the restaurant." Bai He asked. Although Bai He didn't have much ability to help Shopkeeper Huang win other people's business, he still wanted to make some small suggestions. Perhaps these small opinions can change the current situation.

"Miss Lin, you don't know, alas, business is difficult." Shopkeeper Huang put down the bowl and chopsticks and sighed.

"Not necessarily, shopkeeper Huang, let's eat first, and I'll tell you later whether it's okay or not!" Ever since shopkeeper Huang came here, Bai He has been thinking about how to manage the business of shopkeeper Huang's restaurant. After all, Xihonglou has many Old customers, changing the taste will definitely lose this part of the old customers. If you don't change the way of operation, you will have to wait for death.At this moment, seeing shopkeeper Huang like that, Bai He also wanted to help him, but she was also lacking in management, which was really annoying.

"Old Huang, listen, the lady of the Lin family has said it all. Let me talk about it after dinner. I think you are thinking too much. You just need to eat and drink well and live well in your life. Why bother thinking about yourself so much?" Looking for troubles, eating fish and eating fish, this taste is absolutely delicious." Deng Guan looked relaxed, who told him that he was in the wholesale business and did not have so many competitors.

"Okay, okay, listen to the lady of the Lin family, eat and drink, this wine is really good, lady of the Lin family, I don't know if there is any extra wine to sell." It sounds like a businessman, as long as it can make a profit, it will want to buy it.

"Not much. This is wine steamed from glutinous rice. Few people in the nearby villages know how to make this. It was bought by Yun Erniang from other places. If you sell it, it will be gone. You can get a bottle or two as a gift. Work for Shopkeeper Huang and Deng. Next year, I will plant tens of acres of glutinous rice on my farm, and after harvesting it will make wine. Then, Shopkeeper Huang will have as much as he wants." Bai He did not forget to put some of the glutinous rice When the business is negotiated, there must be no human race in Lujiatan and the whole of Datong, Nuogu, mainly because of the bad climate.

"It's good to be brave. Let's do this. Mrs. Lin will give me all the glutinous rice in the farm next year. I, Huang, will make wine and do other things. How about Mrs. Lin." Shopkeeper Huang said first, and of course Steward Deng He also opened his mouth, it seems that rare things are more expensive.

"Thank you for your support, shopkeeper Huang. If you compare the decoration with the restaurant opposite, you will definitely not get any benefits. You might as well manage your old customers carefully. As long as you keep your old customers, the guests who often drink and eat are enough. After all, there must be some things that cannot exist for a long time. After the novelty is gone, everything will remain as usual, but shopkeeper Huang, I suggest you add a little more to your restaurant, so that's it." Bai He said in a low voice.

The muscles on Shopkeeper Huang's face blossomed little by little. It seemed that Bai He's suggestion moved Shopkeeper Huang.

It depends on whether Bai He's suggestion can be implemented.

Shopkeeper Huang and Guanshi Deng galloped away with two small barrels of glutinous rice wine on horseback.

"Sister Bai He, what did you say to shopkeeper Huang? I think he was very happy when he left." Yun'er asked as she cleaned up the dishes.

"Tell him to open the morning and afternoon, run morning, afternoon and evening tea, it's as simple as that, pack it up quickly, and wait on the farm." Bai He said calmly, in fact, these things are available in modern hotels, but in this No one has ever made it in the era, and I went to a teahouse to drink tea. I have never seen anyone drinking tea in a restaurant in the morning.

After clearing away the bowls and chopsticks, Shitou and Mo'er came trotting over, looking like they were in a hurry.

"Sister-in-law, there are people quarreling over where the house is being built." Shitou said loudly. The land where the house was built was planned to start construction a few days ago, mainly for Zhang Qing and others to live in.

So what happened?Bai He, Yun'er and Lin Zi looked towards the building site, and found that something was wrong, it was the time to lay the foundation, how could there be so many people around the building site, and vaguely heard someone making noise things like that.What happened?Pass through several ridges of land, walk up the path in the vegetable field, pass the melon field, and you can see a circle of people around the building from a distance. The person in charge of the house repair found from the city is standing on a stone. He said something with a very serious expression.

Something must have happened.

Sure enough, Bai He saw an old man holding a few pieces of paper in his hand, gesticulating and arguing with the person in charge, and there were all boys in short coats next to him. Troubles, disputes, finding fault, words and phrases flew through Bai He's mind one by one, it must be like this.

Bai He didn't walk over directly, but took advantage of the old man's quarrel with the person in charge to sneak into the village crowd watching.

"The second ghost of Xiao's mansion has come out to make trouble again. Alas, if it wasn't for Xiao Xiaoshui who is an official outside Xiao's mansion, who would have his turn to dictate here." An old man beside Bai He said in a low voice.

"That's right, I can't get used to the people in the Xiao family, especially this old man, who does some unconscionable things. Isn't the only son of his Xiao family who is an official outside, so there is no need for it, let's talk about this Mr. Xiao is not his son Xiao Er, Ba Zi still remembers on Wednesday, how could the land deed be in the hands of his Xiao family when everyone is dead, it seems that this time he is jealous of Mrs. Lu Lin's farm." One The middle-aged man communicated with the old man in a low voice.

"Isn't it?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
