Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 126 Pepper Pork Belly Chicken

It has been a year and a half since I came here in a flash. In this year and a half, she has really gained a lot. The most important thing is not money, but feelings. She has gradually become familiar with the life here and learned a lot. .

Although this ancient life has many inconveniences compared to the previous life, there are also many things that are better than the previous life, such as fresh air and a clean environment.

and also……

someone she likes.

I really want to go to the front line to have a look, but it would be shocking for a woman to go to the front line. She thought about waiting for the Chinese New Year. The weather is cold during the Chinese New Year. If Ye Yuan doesn't come back, she will go find him.

Anyway, now I know how to shoot arrows, my strength is good, my reaction is quick, and I can ride a horse, so it should be quite safe.

But she just kept this kind of thinking in her heart, and no one told her.

It has been raining for the past few days, and the weather has completely cooled down. Liu Man'er no longer makes ice and sells it, and there is one less business. Although other businesses in the store have started to improve again, the money they earn is still higher than before. A full third is missing.

Braised mei is a food that never gets tired of eating. Even poor people are willing to buy a warm braised egg, or exchange three eggs from their own home for two, but the problem is that it does not make much money, not as profitable as ice making.

The weather is getting colder, Fang's health is not very good these days, some nausea and vomiting, I went to the doctor to see her stomach cold is nothing serious, and asked her to go to the pharmacy to buy some pepper for Fang's morning and evening decoction.

This pepper is originally a pungent thing, which has the effect of dispelling cold and warming the stomach. After drinking it for a few days, Fang's appetite improved, and there was nothing wrong with it.

However, Fang's stomach has always been not very good. Liu Man'er thought that eating peppery pork belly seemed to be good for Fang's disease. When she came back from the county today, she went to the market to buy a pork belly.

Speaking of pepper pork belly, it reminded Liu Man'er of a good dish, pepper pork belly chicken!
So she asked someone to kill another chicken, plucked all the feathers, took out the contents of the chicken belly, washed it, stuffed it with red dates, wolfberry, longan, etc., then cut the pork belly into strips and put it in the chicken belly Inside, sew it shut with a toothpick.Then add pepper and salt, and stew the soup together. After about an hour, the pepper pork belly chicken will be stewed.

Served on the table, once the lid was lifted, the aroma overflowed, and the soup turned milky white. After a sip, it was both fragrant and warm, very comfortable.

"That's right, my Man'er knows how to eat it." Fang took a sip of the soup and nodded again and again, "No one has tried adding pepper to the soup."

"I thought about what to eat to make up for it. Mother, your stomach is not uncomfortable. You must eat pork belly. Seeing you drinking pepper soup every day, I feel bad for you, so I added it to this pork belly. Inside, thinking that you haven't eaten well these days, I simply killed a chicken to supplement you, but I didn't expect to cook it together, it tastes pretty good." Liu Man'er said with a smile.

"You child is really filial. With your filial piety, mother thinks this soup is even more delicious." Fang said with a smile.

"Drink more if it tastes good." Liu Man'er picked up Fang's bowl and scooped up another spoon for her.

But when the family was enjoying the soup, Liu Man'er was thinking again, this pepper pork belly chicken is a famous soup, it tastes the most delicious in this winter, not to mention, it nourishes the stomach , make up the body.

Otherwise, open a restaurant by yourself and use this pepper pork belly chicken as a gimmick?

It just so happened that in the shop that had been open for so long, there was some spare money in hand, so Liu Man'er made some calculations.

She opened a restaurant and hired two chefs. As for the business in the snack bar now, let Liu Yunsheng help to look after it first, and then let Feihua and Piaohong go to the snack bar to help. Anyway, he can do those things, and then it is time to buy A servant and a few managers came to do odd jobs in the restaurant.

At that time, the snack bar can also be merged with the restaurant, and the snack bar will be opened next to the restaurant, so there will be no need for so many people and such trouble.

Liu Man'er is a vigorous and resolute person, after thinking about it, she is ready to do it.

First of all, she went to Manager Wu and told him about the matter. She still hoped to get help from him or the Yan family.

Before Liu Man'er's snack bar cooperated with him, he also made a lot of money, but now Liu Man'er wanted to pull him to open a restaurant, but he hesitated.

Because he said, after all, he is just a slave of the Yan family, and he can take care of some small shops, but there is nothing he can do about big shops like restaurants. If someone comes to make trouble, he will definitely not be able to stand it.

And Wu Guanshi said that the reason why Liu Man'er's snack bar can be so peaceful is because of the help of his own young master, so he actually gave most of the money Liu Man'er gave him to his own young master.

"Why don't I trouble Brother Wu to talk to your young master? It just so happens that there is only a charter for opening a restaurant, and I don't understand many things. The young master of the Yan family has a wide network of people. It is also a good idea to introduce me to two outstanding chefs." Very good."

When Liu Man'er heard what Guanshi Wu said, she simply hit the snake with the stick.

Her pepper pork belly chicken is such a good dish, it would be too disappointing if it can’t be eaten by others, and her roast duck is the most delicious when eaten hot in the store, and more than one person regrets saying This roast duck can't be drunk with wine while it's hot.

What's more, her shiitake mushrooms have also been planted, and the first crop can be harvested. At that time, her shop will have one more mountain treasure than others, and the rabbits she raised herself will not need to be sold to others.

The self-produced preserved eggs, the wild rice stems and water chestnuts she grows, and she can even sell some vegetables for the villagers. Winter is coming, and it is time to grow her greenhouse vegetables.

She just came here last year to learn about the world and get along well with her family. This year, she feels that she needs to develop a little bit.

As long as you think about it, in the winter, if the people in this county eat at her restaurant, they can sit around a round table, drink warm soup, and then boil summer and autumn, and all kinds of vegetables will appear, dipped in sauce, It's delicious just thinking about it.

If her restaurant opens up, the business will not work well.

It's just that to open this restaurant, there is still a little help. No matter how many ideas you have, no matter how good the business is, no one will help you.

Nowadays, there are a lot of hooligans on the street, and what I like most is to make trouble for these shops, especially for catering. If you offend them, put a cockroach in your dish today, and put a cockroach in your soup tomorrow Mice, that's really annoying.

The restaurant next to Liu Man'er's shop often encounters this kind of situation. From time to time, someone makes trouble. I heard that this shop is still a shop that has paid protection fees. It seems to have a small backstage. They are all arranged like this. , that's okay?

In fact, she wouldn't be afraid of them if she went all out. The problem was that she just wanted to make money with peace of mind and didn't have time to deal with these moths with them.

Now that she has no backer, all she can think of is to share profits and cooperate with others.

This Yan family is called Yan Banjia in Liyang County, which means that their mansion, farm, business, etc. occupy half of the county. I heard that there are people in their family in the county, the prefecture, and even the capital. , Therefore, in this county, there is an existence like an emperor, and no one dares to provoke him.

If she can cooperate with the Yan family, Liu Man'er will be able to do business with peace of mind, and then she can also rely on the Yan family to develop into a county or even a prefecture until she has the strength to protect herself.

"Sister, I found that you have a big heart." After hearing Liu Man'er's words, Wu Guanshi said something lukewarm.

Liu Man'er was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Brother Wu, don't worry, even if I get on the line with your young master, I will not forget you, not to mention that the bonus of the snack shop will still be given to you, even if my restaurant opens, I will give you a bonus of ten taels of silver every month!"

Ten taels of silver is not a small amount. Steward Wu has worked hard for a year in the Yan family, but it is only ten taels of silver. Liu Man'er gave her a bonus of ten taels of silver as soon as he opened his mouth. kind of temptation.

"Sister Ye, this is ten taels of silver. You have to think about it. What if your restaurant can't make back ten taels of silver in a month? After all, if you want to cooperate with our young master, you must Let the profit go to our young master." Wu Guanshi said.

"That's not as good as this. Once the matter is completed, I will personally give you 100 taels, but for the 100 taels of silver, I will give you 50 taels first, and the rest will be given to you next year." Liu Man'er said.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll try it, but I don't know if it will work or not," Wu Guanshi said.

Liu Man'er said again: "Even if the matter fails, I will pay you ten taels of silver for your hard work, and please go and explain it to me."

"Okay, for the sake of being so sincere, shopkeeper Ye, I'll help you talk about it." Seeing the profit, Manager Wu finally agreed.

"Thank you, Manager Wu." Liu Man'er thanked him sincerely.

Although it costs money, as long as things can be done, money is a trivial matter.

I heard that this Yan family, the young master of the Yan family has quite a lot of power now, if I can get on line with the young master of the Yan family, that would be really great.

I just don't know if Guanshi Wu's matter can be done, even if the young master of the Yan family agrees to see me, so that I can talk to him, I'm afraid that he won't want to see me because he is a woman.

On the way back to her shop, Liu Man'er was still a little apprehensive.

Now Feihua and Piaohong are both helping in the shop, so Liu Man'er is free, and she has been figuring this out all day.

In the end, she felt that this was not enough, so she hid in the attic alone and pondered these recipes. She had eaten many famous dishes in her previous life, but she used to be a person who could only eat but not cook, but now she can cook and eat.

One person writes the name of the dish on a piece of paper, sliced ​​meat with shiitake mushrooms, and chicken with shiitake mushrooms. There should be relatively few of these two dishes in other restaurants. After all, shiitake mushrooms are hard to find, and she is the only one here.

Signature dishes, pepper pork belly chicken, roast duck, these two alone can attract many people, and she has fashionable vegetables in winter, so she doesn't have to worry about bad business.

Well, let’s have another braised lion’s head, tiger skin rabbit meat, dried bean curd, Kung Pao chicken, roast chicken, blood duck………

Liu Man'er eloquently listed the names of the dishes she had eaten in her previous life, counting the names of dozens of dishes, plus some home-cooked dishes, cold dishes, some special dishes here, etc., at least hundreds of dishes, see After seeing this, she doesn't have to worry about her opening a restaurant at all.

Since the young master of the Yan family hasn't come to look for her yet, she should go to fix her vegetable garden first, otherwise it would be ridiculous if the vegetables didn't grow when winter really came and the restaurant opened.
