Abandoned peasant woman in the prosperous world

Chapter 39
"You little bastards, wait another half an hour, and I'll serve it for you to taste later." Looking at the boys crowded at the door of the kitchen, Fang Chengqian laughed heartily.

As the fragrance in the pot became more and more intense, the smiles in Qin Yuyao's eyes gradually increased.Fang Chengqian is both the shopkeeper and the cook, and he is extraordinarily reasonable, and has a strong ability to accept new things. It doesn't take much effort to sell the star anise to him!
With this friendship, if you find any seasonings from now on, just bring them here and ask Fang Chengqian to give you a fair price.Or make some new dishes, maybe you can make a small profit.The half-basin of snails raised in the water basin came to mind, and Qin Yuyao couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

"Get out of the pot!" At this time, the stewed radish with ribs in the pot is also ready.Qin Yuyao wrapped her hands in a cage cloth, walked to the stove and lifted the lid of the pot.Suddenly, an extremely strong fragrance wafted out, and the boys standing at the door of the kitchen swallowed their saliva one after another.

Even Fang Chengqian couldn't help but his eyes lit up, seeing the crystal clear gravy on the plate, which was emitting a fragrance he had never tasted before: "Let me have a taste first."

"It's just out of the pot, and it's still hot." Qin Yuyao couldn't help laughing, and carried the plate to the outside hall, where they still sat where the two had just sat.

"It's not hot, I'll try it." Fang Chengqian couldn't help itching, picked up a piece of ribs with his chopsticks.He even forgot that Qin Yuyao's original intention of cooking was to try and reassure him of the safety of star anise.After chewing twice, he immediately stretched out his thumb and praised: "Such a delicious spicy taste is simply irreplaceable!"

Qin Yuyao smiled slightly, and said to the little guy who was standing beside him, who wanted to come up with chopsticks, but dared not, but swallowed, "You might as well try it too."

As soon as the words were finished, Fang Chengqian also nodded towards them, and then the boys rushed up and ate a piece of pork ribs for each of them.Suddenly, the voice of praise sounded from time to time, until there was a scream: "Ah! My tongue!"

It turned out that the pork ribs were so delicious that a boy bit his tongue, which made Qin Yuyao very funny. He raised his head and said to Chengqian, "Uncle Fang, fifty cents a tael, is it worth it?"

"It's worth it!" Fang Chengqian extended his chopsticks to the last rib in the bowl as he spoke, chewing and saying, "Spicy, fishy, ​​delicious!"

At this time, the boys were surprised: "What? Fifty cents a tael?"

In this world, fifty Wen can buy two catties of high-quality pork!And just one or two seasonings will cost fifty yuan?Is it too expensive?What's more, it's just a bit more delicious, so it can't be more expensive than meat, right?

Qin Yuyao smiled faintly: "The annual output of this seasoning is less than two hundred catties, and only I know where to get it. Besides, I only sell it to your family."

Hearing this, the boy fell silent, but looked up at Fang Chengqian to see what their shopkeeper and chef was planning.

Fang Chengqian finally finished eating, let out a sigh of relief, sat down and glared at the young man: "Things that don't look good! You just know how to eat! Do you know that in the eyes of nobles, fifty cents is just as much as a piece of cash?" Like hair? They want it to be delicate! It’s exquisite! It’s delicious! Just to remove the fishy smell, they are willing to spend five taels of silver more! Fifty Wen? What a fart!"

The few boys were so scolded that their faces were red and their ears were red, they lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Fang Chengqian just poured a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, then looked up at Qin Yuyao: "Yaoer, when will you bring me the star anise?"

Qin Yuyao thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid I don't have time these few days. After four or five days, I'll give you twenty catties." She promised the mysterious man to make something for him to please the little girl. The most important thing is to finish this one.

"Okay!" Fang Chengqian pinched his fingers and counted. Fifty Wen a tael, five hundred Wen a catty, and twenty catties equaled ten taels of silver.He patted the table and said to the boy next to him, "Go, get ten taels of silver!"

Qin Yuyao was stunned for a moment, and only heard Fang Chengqian say: "Yao'er takes the fixed silver first, and when it is convenient later, I will send it to Uncle Fang."

"Thank you, Uncle Fang." Qin Yuyao's heart warmed, and she was right.

After Qin Yuyao left, Fang Chengqian took off the half-new shirt outside, exposing the waistcoat with bare arms, and walked into the kitchen.It's almost noon now, and seeing that there will be more guests, it's time to prepare the ingredients.

A young man followed closely behind: "Uncle, how can you give her money first? What if she cheats us?"

"Promise!" Fang Chengqian glared at this distant nephew, "I have been with me for two years, why do you have such a lack of vision? Is that girl like an ordinary person? With her full knowledge, she bought half a restaurant It's all worth it!"

The little boy bowed his head after being scolded, and muttered: "You are dressed in rags, you really don't look like an ordinary person, you look like a beggar!" He rolled his eyes and said to himself: "Uncle can't be so prodigal, how big is his family fortune?" It's all lost! Could it be that Uncle has taken a fancy to that little lady? No, I have to tell my aunt!"

Qin Yuyao walked out of the Xianyun Building, covered her eyes with one hand, and looked at the sun in the sky.I saw that the sun was about to rise to the middle, and I knew immediately that it was almost noon.

Stretching out his hand to touch his bosom, he sold it for three taels to eight hundred taels at Chen Ji seasoning shop, and just now he got another ten taels of silver at Xianyun Tower, which is probably enough to buy what he wants.

With the score in mind, Qin Yuyao stepped forward to the cloth art street in Qingyang Town.

On the cloth art street, there are dozens of shops open, some selling cloth, some selling garments, some selling shoes and socks, and so on.Most of the people who shuttled back and forth were women from Taoist families, there were young girls who had not left the court, and there were also older women and mothers-in-law.Qin Yuyao recalled Qin's cognition, and went straight into the largest cloth workshop.I saw that the shop was very spacious, and there were countless pieces of cloth hanging inside, including linen, cotton, silk and satin, each of which had dozens of designs and styles.

In front of the counter, two little girls with double buns were standing side by side, and they were listening to the waiter introduce a damask to them: "Girl, this damask is bright in color, soft and comfortable, and it is light, soft and breathable when made into a shirt. Rare and good things, you can’t see them in a hurry. We only have them in our house, and there are no other stores selling them at all..."

Qin Yuyao walked over and took a look, it was really good.

I only heard a little girl ask crisply: "How do you sell this?"

"Are you the maid of the Bai Mansion? Hey, Mr. Bai is kind and generous. He is a well-known good man in the town. How about this? I won't ask you two for more, 120 coins per foot!" said the young man very generously. .

Qin Yuyao couldn't help being taken aback, 120 Wen a foot, then a Zhang is 1000 two hundred Wen, which is more than one tael of silver!And a piece of cloth is three feet, which is nearly four taels of silver!
