Huanxi Farm: Pick up a husband for farming

Chapter 9 The Birth of Fried Chicken
There are many rules in the county examination, and there are many places to manage. Otherwise, even if the essay is well done, there are still some methods on it that Rong Qing can't pass the exam.

In addition to these problems, there are many places to be solved.In this era, fried chicken requires a lot of oil, and the cost is higher than that of the lo mei in the town, and the raw materials themselves are relatively expensive. Once the fried chicken is actually sold in the store, there will inevitably be a lot of turnover funds.

Rong Shui thought for a while, and finally decided to try to make fried chicken first. If he succeeds, he will discuss it with Li Shi, and Li Shi may not agree.As for the old hen, even if it is broken, the Rong family can afford it now.

As she thought to herself, she began to work. She removed a chicken leg, peeled off the skin, made a few deep cuts with a knife, put some honey and salt on it, and put it there to marinate for an hour.

Mrs. Li also got up, came to the kitchen and saw Rong Shui doing this, asked strangely: "Ah Shui, what are you doing?"

Rong Shui's thoughts changed, he frowned, and then he smiled sweetly at Mrs. Li, and said, "Aniang, I dreamed of a fairy in white again last night. She said that my birthday is coming soon, so she taught me how to do it." Make something delicious. So when I woke up, I forgot to tell my mother first, so I went to the kitchen to try to make it first."

When Mrs. Li heard this, she was surprised and said, "My son, you are really the reincarnation of a dragon girl. Guanyin Bodhisattva has come to take care of you again and again! Good boy, you can do whatever you want!"

Rong Shui nodded obediently, and thanked Mrs. Li, thinking that feudal superstition can't be said to be a bad thing at all, at least she can confidently push it to "Guanyin Bodhisattva" for any unexplainable things after here.

Mrs. Li was making breakfast by the side, while Rong Shui was studying how to make fried chicken.When she was in college, she worked part-time at Ken O Kee for a period of time out of fun, so she was familiar with those processes, but she lacked a lot of professional equipment, and she had to slowly explore everything by herself.

After breakfast, Rong Shui came to the kitchen again, took out the marinated chicken legs, thickened them in the liquid flour, made sure that the chicken legs were well coated with batter, and then put them into the boiling oil pan.

Rong Xiaomei was greedy for chicken legs, so she was crazy not to go out, she volunteered to light a fire for her, staring at the floating chicken legs in the oil pan, her saliva dripped all over the floor, Rong Shui laughed out loud.

The temperature of the oil boiled with firewood is naturally not as good as that of Ken O Kiri's professional equipment, so Rongshui estimated that it took about half an hour to fry the chicken legs before catching them.

The fried chicken drumsticks look pretty good, but the wrapped skin is a bit black, not golden enough to be eye-catching.This is also a limitation of the material. It was not until ancient times that Rongshui realized that the hand-made flour was yellow, which was completely different from the modern snow-white flour, so the color after frying was not very good.

Rong Shui grabbed Rong Xiaomei, who was jumping on the chicken leg, and waited until the chicken leg was no longer hot, then tore off the skin and a few shreds of meat for Rong Xiaomei to taste, and he also tasted a little bit, but found that there was too much salt, and it was a bit salty , the meat is also a little old, but other than that, it's pretty good, and it's barely a success. In the future, this recipe can be improved to make the most suitable taste.

Rong Xiaomei had never eaten fried chicken before. After eating it, she exclaimed that it was delicious. She pestered Rong Shui to ask for it. Rong Shui tore a few pieces for her, and took the chicken legs to find Mrs. Li.

"Aniang, this is the fried chicken my fairy sister taught me to make. Come and try it?"

Mrs. Li was picking up the soles of her shoes, when she saw Rongshui coming in with fried chicken, she smiled and said, "Since Goddess Guanyin taught you to make it, it must be delicious, but Auntie doesn't like to eat this, so you can bring it to you Sister, let's try it."

Rong Shui felt sour, knowing that Mrs. Li was reluctant to eat this, she simply said her thoughts directly, and said: "Aniang, besides teaching me how to make this fried chicken, Sister Fairy also told me that if it is cooked well , I can set up a store to sell this in the future. You can try it for me first, if this is delicious, we will listen to the immortal sister, and if Ruyi has nothing to sell by then, we will sell this."

After hearing this, Mrs. Li put down the work in her hands, and said to Rong Shui seriously: "Do you want to sell this?"

Rong Shui said: "That's right, what Sister Fairy said, it must be true." Saying that, he passed the fried chicken to Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li didn't immediately pick up the fried chicken to try the taste, she pondered for a moment, and said, "It will cost a lot of money to open the store."

Rong Shui thought to himself that although Mrs. Li had a long-term vision, she still had limitations, so she said, "Aniang, think about it, if sister Xiannv hadn't suggested me, I wouldn't have thought of selling wishful fruit. Now she tells you I asked me to sell fried chicken, which is better than selling wishful fruit, and there is no bad one, don’t you think so? I heard it clearly last night. Sister Fairy said, listen to her, and the Rong family will pay back in the future. Some are blessings!"

Mrs. Li lowered her head and hesitated for a while.Selling ruyi fruit is different from selling it in a storefront. Ruyi fruit has little cost, and you can earn as much as you earn, but after selling it in a store, you have to be responsible for the profit and loss.Now that he has managed to save some money, he wants to make plans for Rong Ming and Rong Qing. If he invests all the money and loses money, he will lose everything.

Rong Shui also knew that there was no need to rush, so he didn't rush her, he just said: "Mother, please try this fried chicken first and see if it tastes good."

Mrs. Li hesitantly picked up a piece of chicken that was torn off by Rongshui and put it into his mouth, nodded slowly and said: "This taste is actually novel and delicious, but I have to think about the dish you mentioned. Think about it. Your elder brother is not young, and he will be nineteen after the new year. My mother has not yet settled down on this matter. Auntie is always concerned about this matter. Although Ruyiguo is your idea, your elder brother has also contributed a lot. Now What to do, you have to discuss it with him.”

Rong Shui nodded, and said: "Then we can discuss it after the eldest brother comes back."

Sure enough, after Rong Ming came back at noon, Mrs. Li dragged Rong Ming and Rong Shui into the house, and explained the ins and outs of this matter to Rong Ming.

After Rong Ming tasted the fried chicken specially left for him by Rong Shui, he also praised the taste as good, but it was already cold at that time, and the taste was much worse.

After hearing Rong Shui's words, he immediately made a decision to support her decision, and in turn persuaded Li Shi: "Aniang, if what the second sister said can be done, it will be a great thing for our family, and it will never end in my life." Yes. When the Rong family is rich, am I still worried about not being able to find a wife? Man, why worry about not having a wife. "

Rong Ming and Rong Shui took turns to fight, and finally Li Shi reluctantly nodded in agreement.

She took out a big black earthen pot from under the bed, and said to the two of them, "This is where our family's wealth is."

Rong Ming stretched out both hands and turned the pot over, and poured out many broken silver zippers and a few stringed copper coins.

Mrs. Li sighed and said, "Your brothers and sisters sold Ruyi fruits for two or three months before they got this money. I hope that Goddess Guanyin will bless you so that this fried chicken shop can open. Otherwise, the money will be wasted. To die of distress."

Rongshui repeatedly assured that the fairy sister would never harm her, and Li said: "Except for the silver used to buy things for you these days, there are a total of 120 taels of silver and four hanging copper coins here."

Rong Ming looked at it, and said: "Pan Xia Town's storefronts, then these are enough, but when the time comes to make fried chicken, you have to spend the cost to buy chicken, I'm afraid there will be a shortage."

Rong Shui pondered for a long time, and said: "It's not urgent, anyway, we have a bottom line in our hearts now, let's take our time in the future."

After a small family meeting, Rong Shui finally thought of Li Jun on the mountain, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty, so he hurriedly asked Mrs. Li for help, removed the old hen's chicken breast, deep-fried a large piece of chicken steak, and wrapped it in oil paper Yes, I plan to send it to Mr. Li.

With the experience of the first time, the taste and appearance of the second fried chicken chops are much better, which strengthens Rongshui's confidence in opening a fried chicken restaurant.

She lied that this piece of chicken chop was going to be dedicated to Sister Fairy, and Mrs. Li didn't doubt her, but just told her to remember to come back before dark and let her go.

Rong Shui hugged the chicken chops in his arms, fearing that it would be too cold to eat when he reached the mountain, he hurried to the mountain, when he suddenly saw many people crowded together on the road, making noise, he didn't know what happened.

As a scientist in her previous life, Rong Shui was naturally never lacking in curiosity. She stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck to take a look, but still only saw the noisy crowd and didn't know what happened.It happened that a child herding cattle passed by on a buffalo, and she hurriedly asked, "What's the matter over there?"

The child said: "That pond over there is haunted by water ghosts, and someone has had an accident again."

water ghost?Rong Shui wondered why the mountains are haunted by ghosts and the water is also haunted by ghosts. Is this still a place where people live?I feel ghosts everywhere.However, the rumors of the ghosts on the mountain should be made by Li Jun's family. What happened to the ghosts in the water?
She reached out to touch the chicken chop, it was still hot, thinking that it would not cool down so quickly, she walked towards the place where the crowd gathered.

It just so happened that there was a little girl there who was known by the original owner, named Xue Hua, who liked to gossip the most, and before she was asked what happened, she babbled away.

Rongshui bought her off with a jelly bean and asked her for news.

From Xuehua's mouth, she learned that there was a pond in Fengmu Village. It turned out that this pond was owned by a family named Li in the east of the village. The water quality was good, and the fish tails raised were fresh and plump. Relying on selling fish, Li's income is not bad.

Unfortunately, somehow, about a few years ago, the pond suddenly had a problem.

At the beginning, it was the male owner of the Li family who went to salvage the fish. When he reached the middle of the pond, he suddenly bumped into something evil. A vortex appeared in the water, and the man of the Li family was pulled into the water on the spot. The speed was extremely fast. The man drowned in the water and never came out again.

His brothers went to save him, but they got involved too. In the end, the two brothers just disappeared, neither alive nor dead.
