The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 253
When the preparations were almost done, it was too late to start cooking after meditating.

Fortunately, she has space, otherwise the seasoning would be incomplete, so she prepared the juice first.

Seeing Chunlan Qiulan's fragility, plus she could choke herself to death even if she boiled water, Shen Sisi didn't call them anymore, she just called a soldier over to light the fire.

Fortunately, this personal soldier also knows how to burn fire, so he can promptly adjust the high fire, small fire, and medium fire ordered by Shen Sisi.

Seeing that the heat was up, Shen Sisi changed the front of the abalone to an oblique cross knife, chopped ginger, green onion, and coriander.These ingredients are all washed, Shen Sisi cooks very fast now, so this knife technique has also been practiced, this speed is really comparable to that of a chef, Chunlan and Qiulan are stunned.

She then poured an appropriate amount of seafood soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and some starch into the bowl.

While she was doing this, the pot was already smoking, so Shen Sisi poured an appropriate amount of oil into the pot, added minced ginger and green onion and stir-fried, then added abalone and stir-fried, then poured it into a bowl to prepare Put in the soup, add an appropriate amount of water, and let the soup dry for about 5 minutes on low heat. After the abalone is cooked, add the minced coriander and stir-fry twice, then take it out of the pot and put it on a plate.

The most important thing about this dish is the juice she made. Once the juice is cooked, the aroma will come out.

Chunlan smelled it and said, "...it smells so good, it's much more delicious than the chef's cooking at Fulai Building."

"Yeah," Qiulan said with bright eyes, "I didn't expect Miss to have such skills. No wonder... No wonder she said that she doesn't need to hire a chef. Which chef can cook this kind of dish? Who can cook this kind of dish?" Those who grow vegetables don’t want to come here anymore, they definitely want to be chefs in other people’s restaurants..."

"Isn't it..." Chunlan sniffed and said, "Miss's cooking is really delicious..." Just smelling it made her saliva drool.

"When I was in the Hou's mansion, I never saw the cook in the mansion cook abalone so fragrant..." Chunlan muttered.

"Yeah..." Qiulan praised, and Shen Sisi had already started cooking the next dish.

The soldiers and Changsheng over there were also sniffing their noses vigorously.After all, abalone was only wild in ancient times and was not farmed, so the price was absolutely high, which can be called sky-high price. In modern times, because of the development of the farming industry, this thing is slightly smaller and lower. Some of the plants are so cheap, at least compared to now, they are absolutely cheap...

Shen Sisi looked back and saw their eager eyes, and couldn't help but think of the boys at home, feeling a little sad and homesick.I don't know if my parents will miss me.

She continues to cook.

Chunlan walked up to Changsheng's side to make some remarks, and said, "... Miss's craftsmanship is really good, have you ever eaten it?!"

Changsheng nodded naturally, and said with a smile: "Of course I have eaten it, after a while you will know how delicious it is..."

Chunlan nodded, and said again: "...how does she know the shopkeeper of Fulai Restaurant?!"

Changsheng glanced at her and said with a smile: "You don't know something, right? You have been with her for a short time, so it's normal not to know. I don't think she told you that the Zhong family is not an ordinary family. Farmhouse, but in the short period of four or five years, their family has opened countless hot pot restaurants all over the country. There are four Fulai restaurants in Beijing alone. Think about it, how much money their family has, This material is all provided by their family, and the daily income must be at least several thousand taels to tens of thousands of taels of silver..."

Chunlan's eyes widened in surprise, staring blankly at Changsheng.

Changsheng smiled secretly: "That's it, I don't know how many businessmen want to join, but they only sign one owner in one county and one city, so there is only Fulai restaurant in the capital, but how many restaurants do you have if you have the ability? The matter of the restaurant owner, not only this, but also their Ya Ya Ya's subsidiary shop, and now they are also signing contracts in the north and south of the river, one city, one household, their home provides secret sauces and seasonings, as well as roasted Therefore, this is also a long-term livelihood. People don't know how the secret seasoning is made, so naturally they can only buy it from Zhong's house, bake it and marinate it. If they sell more, Zhong's will sell it. Much more, this is also a livelihood..."

Seeing that Chunlan was even more stupefied, Changsheng smiled again and said: "There is also the bag of stewed meat, I heard that it is also going to the north and south of the river now... Once it becomes a regular storefront crowd like a hot pot restaurant, Isn’t it a trivial matter that the Zhong family earns two to thirty thousand taels of silver a day..."

Chunlan was stunned, unable to react, so Changsheng smiled and said, "Your young lady is very capable. Their family used to be so poor that they couldn't even afford common clothes. She started her business by selling chestnuts, and now she is worth several million taels. , Of course, this is only the current net worth, in the future, there will only be more, so you just feel at ease, I just say that following her is better than being in the Hou's mansion, just remember my words, I still envy you, as long as you are loyal, isn't it? The future is boundless..."

Only then did Chunlan come to her senses, and stuttered, "...it's all done by Miss...by herself?!"

"Of course, her ideas, her recipes, what do you think?!" Chang Sheng chuckled and said, "You have never been to the border town. You will know when you go. Almost all the villagers in the town over there are growing spices. Well, it can be said that it has gone from abject poverty to sudden wealth. The frontier town was very poor before, but now, although it is not worse than the capital city, it is not worse. The consumption level there is not generally high, and the farmers there are very rich..."

"There is also Zhong's base material factory. I don't know how many people want to squeeze in to work. An ordinary worker earns at least two taels of silver a month. A team leader earns three to five taels of silver. The director of the factory, um, the director is the one who is in charge. The Zhong family is called the factory director. It’s eight to twelve taels a month. Also, the general manager has dozens of taels a month, not including the Chinese New Year holidays. The dividends, food, and the knowledge to teach reading..."

Chunlan opened her eyes wide as if she was listening to another world, as if she was hearing the tales from the Far East, she said, "...they still teach you how to read?!"

"Yeah, the stewards are all literate. Only those who can read can be promoted. Of course, they must be able to settle accounts. They will also teach some methods of accounting. People in the village over there want to squeeze in, but they There is no need for child labor, child labor is for young girls under the age of 16..." Changsheng said with a smile: "At that time, I hadn't gone back to the border town for a few years, and I was as shocked as you when I first went there. It's okay now, it's over soon Accept it completely, after a long time, you will know that your lady will only create more surprises for you..."

Chunlan was in a daze, knowing that Changsheng didn't want to talk to her anymore, and she couldn't sit beside him and a man for too long as a maid, so she left wisely and went to chat with Qiulan. Staring at Shen Sisi helplessly, he obviously regarded her as an object of worship.

When the dinner was about to be ready, shopkeeper Wang and the others arrived. Shen Sisi finally put the soup in the pot to simmer, and then came out to greet them.

The two brought almost a carriage of gifts over, and helped the groom bring things in with a smile, and then sent the groom away with a smile.

Shen Sisi smiled and said: "Come here, what are you doing with all these things?! I just came to the capital, but I have nothing to repay you..."

The two only smiled and said: "What's the matter, it's just some thoughts."

Shen Sisi didn't refuse, let them sit in the backyard, smiled and said: "It hasn't been cleaned up yet, please forgive me, and I will treat them well when they are cleaned up."

The two of them smiled and didn't say anything. They also brought wine as a gift, so they wanted to drink it.

Shen Sisi stopped him, and said with a smile: "Drinking the bar I brewed today is not too much, but there is no need for us to drink too much. It is good to taste something new..."

Chunlan and Qiulan were very puzzled, but they didn't see that Shen Sisi had any luggage. How could there be homemade wine? !But now they have learned to be smart, and they are determined not to ask questions that should not be asked.

Changsheng knew that she had a secret, so he pretended not to hear it, but was somewhat interested in the wine she brewed.

"That's a good thing..." Both shopkeepers laughed.

Shen Sisi let the dishes come out, braised abalone, drunk chicken, wheat fragrant duck, fish head with chopped pepper, fish hot pot with pickled cabbage, and some small seasonal vegetables...

Don't ask her where the sauerkraut comes from, it naturally comes from space.

Smelling the fragrance, the group sat down and said with a smile: "It smells so good, I'm lucky today."

Shen Sisi took out two jars, took out a cup, and said with a smile: "This is wine made from grapes grown at home. It's a bit red, so it's also called red wine. You can drink it, and treat it as a way to dispel it." Bar……"

She poured some out and said with a smile: "This girl can also drink, Chunlan Qiulan, you should also drink some, if you are afraid of getting drunk, drink less, it's okay..."

After hearing what she said, the two of them agreed, thinking that since their degrees are not high, they should be fine. Although it is not appropriate to get drunk in front of guests, they would still drink some wine when they were in the Hou's mansion and during festivals. , so there is really a lot of alcohol.

Looking at the red wine, the whole group was very surprised. After smelling it, they said, "...it has a delicate fragrance. What are these grapes?!"

Shen Sisi smiled and said: "A kind of fruit can be used to make wine. It is a good thing. Now every household in the border town grows it. In the future, it will be mass-produced and made into wine. It will also be provided to various hot pot restaurants in limited quantities. It's good for female guests..."

Shopkeeper Wang immediately squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "The capital should provide more..."

Shen Sisi smiled and said: "...Naturally, try it first, I'm afraid you guys won't like it, but women should like this taste, it's fragrant, a bit sweet and sweet, and it tastes better when it's iced..."
