Chapter 160 First Deal
Sitting in the carriage, several people chatted about the people and things at home along the way, which gave Ji Xinmiao a general understanding of the Hu family.Father Hu's branch gave birth to Brother Hu and his three brothers and two younger sisters.Brother Hu is the second of his sons, but he is the best hunter among Father Hu's sons.Not to mention the natural supernatural power, he is also naturally intelligent. Not only can he fully accept the hunting skills passed down by the Hu family's ancestors, but he can also understand them more thoroughly.Because of him, the life of the Hu family is getting better and better.Ten years ago, because brother Hu married sister-in-law Hu, they all moved from the mountains to Hulutan and settled down.

Mrs. Hu suddenly asked: "Da Lang, your elder sister didn't come back the day you got married, how is her family now?"

Speaking of his only sister, Qi Dalang's mood became even more serious: "Sister-in-law, you know what kind of person my incompetent elder brother-in-law is. My eldest sister is not doing well now. I came from her house when I returned from hunting last month. I passed by the door and went in, and told her about my daughter-in-law's entry, but she didn't come back because she was still in the filial piety period. However, she was out of filial piety a few days ago, and she sent a letter back. She will come back a year ago Come on, she said she hasn't seen my daughter-in-law yet."

Mrs. Hu sighed again: "Your eldest sister is also a woman with a hard life! Why did you fall into a bad man like your elder brother-in-law? A woman can expect to marry a good man if she doesn't find a good father and mother, but no When you marry a good man, your only hope is to have children. Being a woman is hard!"

Listening to Qi Dalang and Mrs. Hu talking about the eldest sister, Ji Xinmiao's heart became heavier the more he listened.She didn't know much about her eldest sister, she only knew that her mother-in-law left a year ago, and she couldn't go back to her mother's house to participate in the festivities during the mourning period, so she didn't come back.

According to her understanding, although the life of the elder aunt who has one son and one daughter is not very good, she is very capable, and it is no problem for the family to have enough food.It's just that Mrs. Hu's sigh made her confused. Why did she say that her eldest sister is a miserable woman?Even though the family is doing well, the reason why others can lament a woman's life is that this elder brother-in-law is no ordinary scum!

She really didn't think wrong, this eldest brother-in-law's scum is indeed not ordinary, not long after, Ji Xinmiao was smitten by this scumbag brother-in-law!

There were people chatting along the way so I didn't feel sad, but Ji Xinmiao didn't know when she fell asleep after being caught the first night.When she was woken up, I saw Qi Dalang holding her in his arms, bowing his head and calling her softly: "Daughter-in-law, wake up, we are here."

Ji Xinmiao looked at her with a twisted face and a smile. The Hu couple hurriedly sat upright, and embarrassedly brushed the hair falling by their ears and murmured, "Why did I fall asleep?"

Mrs. Hu smiled understandingly: "I just woke up too, and the swaying in the carriage is the easiest way to make people fall asleep. Sister, your hair is not messed up, just be careful when Da Lang hugged you."

Immediately, Ji Xinmiao blushed even more.

The carriage stopped, and the four got out of the carriage. Brother Hu entered through a side door, and Ji Xinmiao and Mrs. Hu stood aside and watched.

Looking up at the restaurant in front of you, you can see the three golden characters of "Qianweilou". The three-story brick and wood restaurant is very grand.The red paint and blue steps let people see the grade of this restaurant at a glance.

After a while, a man who looked like a shopkeeper came out with Brother Hu. From the smile on his face, it can be seen that their friendship is good, otherwise they would not be so easy-going and enthusiastic.

The shopkeeper opened the back door of the carriage, looked at the three big guys and said with a smile: "Brother Hu, this time the guys are really big. How about it, anyway, no one went into the mountain years ago. I'll take all the guys, you drive the carriage in, and we'll count the money after we weigh it."

Brother Hu was also very happy when he heard it: "Good class, the shopkeeper Chen is so happy, Hu is very grateful! Dalang, let the daughters-in-law go in too, and then you have to ask your wife and the shopkeeper to talk about your shiitake mushrooms. "

Sure enough, the word "mushroom" aroused the interest of Shopkeeper Chen: "Brother Dalang, do you have mushrooms in your car?"

Qi Dalang nodded hastily: "Shopkeeper Chen, those are the things in the baskets at the back. I'll move them down for you to see later."

When Shopkeeper Chen saw the large baskets of fresh shiitake mushrooms, he was no less surprised than Mrs. Hu's reaction at that time. He asked repeatedly: "Brother Dalang, you have a price for this thing! However, although this basket of black fungus is also novel, But this thing is not easy to sell!"

Qi Dalang smiled and didn't respond but looked at Ji Xinmiao.

Ji Xinmiao came forward knowingly carrying a small basket, lifted the cloth on the basket and handed the basket to shopkeeper Chen with a smile, saying, "Shopkeeper, can you try it?"

Shopkeeper Chen wasn't interested, but Brother Hu has been friends with him for many years, and since this is Brother Qi's daughter-in-law, he didn't put any airs on it: "Young lady, all the dishes here are made of black fungus? "

Ji Xinmiao nodded with a smile: "Shopkeeper Chen, please don't dislike this rough food, help the little girl taste this stuff, and give me some pointers."

Although the taste is richer and more delicate than the seasoning in the previous life, but the method is also combined with the method of the modern hotel. There are so many food introductions in "A Bite of China", how can she, a foodie, not check how those delicacies are made?
Everyone went into the backyard and waited for shopkeeper Chen to taste the black fungus in the basket, and they didn't speak for a while.

Ji Xinmiao is a little anxious, these two dishes made with black fungus were loved by all ages in the previous life!Especially the cold black fungus made by myself, this kind of black fungus grown by myself is the best in the fungus - cloud fungus, made into cold food, the taste and appearance are even better.The fungus washed with starch is black and transparent, the red chili sauce is lovely, and the smell of ginger and garlic is even more tangy. Don’t people in this era really like this thing?
Just when Ji Xinmiao was feeling uneasy, shopkeeper Chen shouted three times with a serious face: "Okay, okay, okay! I have been a shopkeeper in a restaurant for more than [-] years, and I have never eaten black fungus made in this way. It tastes as good as eating meat! Little lady, you cook this dish well! Well done!"

Ji Xinmiao finally let go of her heart. Her technique of growing black fungus is really good.She held back her happiness and smiled and asked, "Shopkeeper Chen, is he going to accept my black fungus?"

Shopkeeper Chen saw that there was only a bamboo basket of black fungus, so he pondered for a while before asking: "How much money does my lady need to make these two ways of eating?"

Ji Xinmiao knew that he had agreed to accept her black fungus, and she didn't come here to sell money with prescriptions.Besides, the cold black fungus is good, braised black fungus is good, or other methods are good, as long as the chef eats it a few times, he can learn it.Besides, this is her first business, and there will be many places where this restaurant will be used in the future, so she said sincerely: "If shopkeeper Chen uses my black fungus more in the restaurant in the future, I have several kinds of black fungus here. Method. As for the price, just give it as you see!"

After speaking, he took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve and handed them to shopkeeper Chen, and when he handed over the money to Ji Xinmiao, he continued to explain: "Little lady, brother Qi, you can buy as many of these things as you have in the future." Send it here. Since the young lady said that this thing is dry, as long as it is soaked in cold water, it will be as fresh as it is, so you can give as much as you have, my boss has many restaurants in the provincial capital and the capital."

Aunt Hu looked at the money in Ji Xinmiao's hand and cried "tsk tsk tsk": "Brother Dalang, it turns out that you married a God of Wealth! There are only a few prescriptions for younger brothers and sisters, and they are less expensive than how many times you have entered the mountain." Be strong. God has finally taken care of you, so you have to cherish your siblings in the future."

Although the Hu family's current family background is not weak, but when she saw that this little brother and sister easily traded a few pieces of paper for 50 taels of silver, it would be a lie to say that she was not surprised or envious!
In fact, a complete book of black fungus recipes listed more than a dozen ways to use black fungus for cooking. The article mentioned the method of freshening it, and it sold for 50 taels of silver. Ji Xinmiao felt that it was a cheap sale!It's just that she doesn't make money by selling vegetable recipes, she will have to make a lot of money by her skills in the future.

She listened to Mrs. Hu's words of approval and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, can you still see the 50 taels of silver in your eyes? Although I got 50 taels of silver today, I have exposed my old background. There are no more recipes. I am happy today, and I will treat you later!"

Mrs. Hu said "hehe" happily: "Today's lunch shopkeeper Chen has already invited guests!"

Ji Xinmiao blushed: "Sister-in-law, do you think I am being silly? I just put down the bowl and chopsticks, and I thought about eating again. Could it be that I was a foodie in my previous life?"

"Hahaha... brother and sister, foodie? It's a good thing you can think of these two words!" Aunt Hu laughed so hard that she was trembling.

Seeing the two daughters smiling happily, Big Brother Hu also said with emotion: "Da Lang, Xin Miao is really worthy of being our servants! He has the bearing of a wealthy lady from a rich family, and the realness of our rural people. Your father He finally did you a favor."

Qi Dalang looked at his charmingly smiling woman, he smiled but did not answer.

After settling the account with shopkeeper Chen, the money in my hands increased again. The shiitake mushrooms totaled 97 catties, eight cents per catty, and the black fungus was six cents per catty, totaling 29 and a half catties. .

Of course, apart from the fact that her recipes for selling vegetables cost a lot of money, the three big guys are the most valuable. Two wild boars are six taels each, and a robe is two taels, totaling 14 taels.The three families of Li, Fan and Lin each got one tael, and Brother Hu’s two hounds each got one tael. Qi Dalang was only willing to get three taels, but Hu Da got angry and insisted on giving him four taels.

Ji Xinmiao knew that Qi Dalang felt sorry for using someone else's carriage, and her family got a lot of money, so she said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I don't want to talk about the relationship between you and elder brother. Let's go to the shop now."

Seeing that the brother took the money, Brother Hu's face loosened: "Da Lang, I really like your daughter-in-law!"

Ji Xinmiao's blood welled up immediately: Brother, aren't your words too vague?Are you not afraid that your wife will be jealous?

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Hu laughed happily: "I like it too!"

Ji Xinmiao was even more confused: Is this couple really normal?
