Reborn Nongmen Merchant Concubine

Chapter 262 Sour Bamboo Fish
During this period of time, Meng Yuan continued to release one dish after another. This made a lot of money, but it also invested a lot in the seafood factory!After the sales of the fermented soybeans made before, almost half of the seafood factory was divided into fermented soybean factories.

Now that she has told Mr. Li about her plan to make canned fish, the money she just earned will be invested in the construction of a canning factory.

After earning so much, he built a house for his family, and he didn't have much money left. Before, Mengxiong told her that he wanted to buy some more land. Gotta push back!
"Girl, the fish are all ready, we can go!"

"Hey, Uncle Liu, you go first, I'll call Uncle Li and leave!"

Two carriages, one behind the other, walked on the road from the fishing village to the town, Meng Yuan and Mr. Li took a carriage, and Liu Tian drove the carriage loaded with seafood to the back.

"Girl, do you still plan to do this next year about the fish farming in the rice fields? You promised the second son before that if the fish farming in the rice fields succeeds, you will tell other villagers that the fish farming in the rice fields should be done." How to do it! The son wrote to me a few days ago and told me about it, let me ask you, what are you thinking!"

"Fish farming in rice fields is not suitable for every place. As you have seen, there is a small stream in our Qiushui village, which has never stopped flowing through it all year round. Moreover, fish are aquatic animals. Once there is a shortage of water, let alone food. , the fish also suffered.

It's not that I don't want to leave this method to others. If you want to ensure that there is water to irrigate the fields, this fish can't be raised, but the premise is that you must dig a few large pools beside the fields to ensure that the water in the fields is evaporated at any time. Immediately after planting, water the fields. "

"Dig a pool by the side of the field? What can this do? The water in the field is evaporated, won't the water in the pool evaporate as well?"

Meng Yuan smiled lightly: "Uncle Li, you're thinking about it now, this big pool can store water, as long as it rains or if there is a river nearby, you can also dig a canal to the big pool to lead the river water into the big pool .

However, I suggest that, if possible, all villages with fields and land and rivers nearby should build canals as much as possible, so as to maintain the irrigation of the fields and regulate the use of the fields. "

Mengyuan has not traveled many places, but she still knows that crops need water.The ancient rainwater is still sufficient, but not enough. Some villages are high-lying, and the water cannot be stored. It just rained yesterday, and today the fields may start to grin!
I still remember that when I was a child, the village chief would notify every household that the fields were planted at home after a certain period of time, saying that the fields would be irrigated today, and then everyone would go to the fields early in the morning to guard them.

After the water in the canal has flowed to the canal beside the field, remove the big stone blocking the water outlet, and the water will be poured directly into the field, and then block the big stone back when there is enough water , so that enough water can be left for the villagers behind to irrigate the fields.

"Mengya, wait a moment, what is that aqueduct?"

Meng Yajiu, the water canal... "Uncle Li, the water canal is naturally a place for water to flow, just like the way we walk is the same. But because the water will flow everywhere if there is no track, so the water canal is One is smaller and shallower, but it will be a very long and winding ditch.

It will pass by the edge of every family's field. As long as there is a lack of water in the field of any family, it can remove the stones from the water outlet blocked by stones on the edge of the field.However, the villagers must work together to build the canal, otherwise there will be disputes about who can use the water and who can't! "

Mr. Li was a little confused when he heard it, but he probably understood that this thing was of great help to farming.It seems that he has to report this matter to the Second Young Master as soon as possible after he goes back. This is related to the food and clothing of the frontier soldiers in the future!

Chatting all the way, even to the store, Mr. Li still wanted to drag Meng Yuan to talk about what happened just now.but···

"Chef, you are back. The last fish has been served. If you don't come back, these customers will probably want to destroy our shop!"

Mr. Li's second chef had been waiting at the door of the shop early in the morning. When he saw Mr. Li's carriage approaching the shop, he didn't care whether the horse was parked or not, so he went up and told the current situation in the shop.

Meng Yuan got out of the carriage, ouch, I'll be good, there are so many people here!

Those customers who were waiting in line to eat fish were basically regular customers, and they were still very familiar with Mr. Li. When they saw him at the door of the store, they immediately surrounded him, chattering and chattering, Meng Yuan really felt sorry for Mr. Li!
"Hey, everyone be quiet, be quiet, this freshwater fish is gone in the store, but I have asked Miss Meng to prepare other fish to come over, everyone wait patiently, Lao Li, I will go in and give it to everyone Prepare fresh dishes. Rang Rang, Rang Rang!"

Meng Yuan and Liu Tian looked at each other and smiled, this is really the first time I have seen such a scene!But seeing so many guests here, Meng Yuan is still very happy, because there will be a lot of tickets!
The reason why Mengyuan chose Jincang fish is because it has no fish scales, as long as the internal organs are cleaned, it can be directly put into the pot!
"Mengya, now that all the fish have moved in, I asked Dahai to prepare the sour bamboo shoots, what do you think should be done?"

"Uncle Li, don't be so nervous. There are new dishes coming out, and the guests won't complain no matter how long they want to eat them! Now, let's clean up all the fish's internal organs."

There are a lot of customers in the store, and Mr. Li called other chefs who are overqualified to clean up the internal organs of the fish. Anyway, the guests who eat in the store are stone pot fish now. Only the second chef can prepare the dishes, meat and so on. Yes, customers can serve whatever they order without too much technical work.

Since the road from the town to the fishing village has been repaired, the time spent traveling back and forth on the road has been shortened a lot, and the sea fish also come back early in the morning, and all the fish that have just been picked out have been sent to Yuefulou.

In Yuefu Building, the chef is under the care of Mr. Li, but there is another one who is about the same age as Mr. Li, and his skills are similar, but Mr. Li has always been an imperial cook, and he is just a self-taught country bumpkin. They are all popular, unlike Mr. Li, even if the food is a plate of vegetables, the dishes are unique!
"I said, Lao Li, you called us here just to kill fish? You don't know that I was invited by the shopkeeper to be the chef, not an assistant?"

Mengyuan looked at the old man who was choking on Mr. Li, frowned slightly, but did not make a sound. It should not be a small character who can talk to Mr. Li like this.Facing Mr. Li, he actually moved out Ling Xiaoyu's shit.

"Old Lin, don't worry about it so much. There are still a lot of guests waiting outside. I will explain to you after all the fish are cleaned up."

The old man called Lao Lin by Lao Li looked at Li Lao with a fierce look on his face, and Meng Yuan felt a little scared when he saw it.

"Uncle Liu, go outside, you don't know how to cook, standing here is also a hindrance, you go out and clean up the fishy smell."

Liu Tian looked at the one named Lao Lin, he was a little worried about Meng Yuan, but he couldn't stay inside after the master had spoken.

There are many people and strength, and the two big baskets of sea fish were cleaned up in the hands of professional chefs in a short while, and they were all marked with flower knives.

"Okay, the fish are all cleaned up, you all go out first!"

After everyone went out, Mr. Li looked at Meng Yuan: "Girl, how about it, let's start now? Listen outside, the guests are starting to make a fuss. If you don't bring the fish out, the waiter will be torn apart by the customers." Already!"

Meng Yuan took a deep breath: "Well, let's start now!"

Meng Yuan dry-fried the sour bamboo shoots prepared by the second chef first, and scooped up the extra sour bamboo shoots for later use.

Then put oil, heat the oil, add ginger slices to remove fishy smell, and then fry the cleaned fish in a pan until both sides are golden, then add water, followed by dry-fried sour bamboo shoots and chopped peppers Put in soy sauce and start to braise the fish!
During the stewing process, it should be turned over once in a while to avoid sticking the pot.After cooking in this way for about a quarter of an hour, add a little salt and sprinkle some wine into it to start the pot!After cooking, sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions on the fish.

Mr. Li watched Mengyuan's operations from the side, and he basically memorized them by heart.

Mengyuan's stature has not yet grown tall, just being such a fish will almost exhaust her. "Uncle Li, look, the fish is ready, do you want to taste it?"

Chefs have a habit that when new dishes come out, they must be tasted before they can be served to guests. Mr. Li took a pair of chopsticks and put a piece of fish belly meat into his mouth unceremoniously.

The smell of sour bamboo shoots overwhelms the smell of fish, a bit sour and spicy, this taste is very good.

"Girl, this tastes good, I'll let someone serve this dish out!"

As an imperial chef who came out of the palace, Lao Li could get a compliment from Meng Yuan's dishes, which meant that the dishes tasted really good!But for the next fish, Mengyuan just assists from the side, and has no intention of helping with the cooking at all!

There are still a lot of fish in the two large baskets after cleaning up, but there are too many customers who come to eat this fish. After everyone finished eating, they rushed to the police station. It didn't take much effort. Anyone in the town who likes to eat fish knows Yue Fu Lou released a new dish today.

For a while, the fish in these two big baskets seemed a bit unsightly!But these fish are all that Mengyuan can provide. There are many fishermen, but the fishing boats are too backward, and they can’t go to the deep sea area farther away. After a long time, they are all fishing in the shallow sea area, where there are so many The fish are for the fishermen to catch!
