The struggle of the eight blessings of rebirth

Chapter 69

At the end of October, when the large army returned to the capital, they entered the front door, and the housekeeper came in a hurry: "Master Jiu and Master Shi are here..." Minzhi was receiving condolences from Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Hu. The people went back, tidied up by themselves, ran outside, and saw three people coming towards him, Xiaojiu saw Minzhi and saluted respectfully: "Sister-in-law eight..." Minzhi was stunned, and turned to salute: "Ninth younger brother, tenth younger brother" Yinhu put tea in the living room, and Yinyu couldn't wait to report: "Brother, you don't know, the second brother came back first and was surrounded by a group of guards. Eniang said that he entered Yuqing Palace I haven't come out until now..." Yinhu frowned: "In the future, second brother, don't bother to inquire, let's do our own thing..."

Yin'e raised his voice: "Brother, what's going on? Why didn't you say anything in your letter..." Yinhu comforted him: "It's okay, but the process is a little complicated. It's not convenient to say in the letter. By the way, how is Er Niang?" Yinzhen nodded, the good mother and concubine, the eighteenth younger brother, and the younger sister are all fine..." Yinzhen nodded. Yinzhen touched the teacup and looked at Min standing behind Yinxu Zhi hesitated to speak. Yinhu saw her, and stretched out her hand to pull Minzhi over: "Don't stand, sit down..." Minzhi rubbed her nose and sat down, and Yinhu poured her tea with her own hands. Yinhu Yiner The two looked at each other.

After a long silence, Yinzhen finally spoke: "Sister-in-law eight..." Minzhi looked at him.Yinzhen swallowed her saliva: "I have offended you so much before, sister-in-law, don't take it to heart..." Minzhi looked at him inexplicably, "What did Brother Ninth say..." "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law and I Having said that, the idea of ​​that restaurant was given by you..." Minzhi smiled: "What am I doing? The left and right are just the same idea, but the execution ability of the ninth brother impresses me. Under the foundation of the imperial city Opening a restaurant has actually succeeded, the ninth brother is amazing..."

After Yinzhen accepted Minzhi's standardized farm management concept, he immediately discovered the huge business opportunities in it. In addition to Minzhi's original concept sketch, together with Old Eleven, the two worked together to build a courtyard house in the capital. , All were demolished and converted into a restaurant.The original east and west wing rooms and the courtyard were kept, and the main house was pushed away. The bamboo fence surrounded a small pasture, and some poultry were enclosed.On the basis of the original self-contained garden, a pond was dug, fish were raised, a shed was built on the side, tables and chairs were placed, and a fishing area was established.A grape trellis was set up in the courtyard, and a stone table and chairs were placed on top of which a chess set was placed.In short, the entire restaurant is a collection of leisure, entertainment, dining and meeting guests. It has not been long since it opened, and the business is very prosperous. If it weren't for the capital, he would have wanted to expand his business.

Yinzhen, who has tasted the sweetness, is looking forward to the return of the starlings and his family to Beijing every day, and wants to see what other golden ideas the eighth sister-in-law has.After finding out what he was thinking, Minzhi smiled: "Ninth Brother...you are so dedicated to studying ways to make money, you are not afraid that Concubine Yimu will annoy you..." Yinzhen took a sip of tea: "Er Niang is so happy with me, she I am born to like silver..." Yinhu smiled: "Guess what he caught when he caught Zhou?" "Jewelry?" Minzhi guessed. "No..." "Bow and arrow?" Minzhi guessed again. "That's him." Yinzhen pointed at Yin'e angrily.Yin'e blushed: "What you are grabbing are silver chopsticks, and you bite them when you grab them. Concubine Yimu said..." Minzhi burst out laughing, and quickly covered her with a handkerchief: "Ninth brother, you are really creative... ..."

Yin'e couldn't bear the bland tea, so he put it down after taking a sip.Yinhu saw it, and ordered to prepare food and wine. Taking advantage of this time, the two reported on the situation at home and some trivial matters in the palace.

Not long after, when the food and wine were served, Yin'er's eyes lit up: "I don't know why, but I feel that the meat from mya's house is fresher than mine..." In return, Yinzhen squinted contemptuously.Minzhi smiled: "The pigs in Zhuangzi are all fed raw food, and there are special people to drive them out for a walk every day, so the meat is naturally firm and delicious... Animals raised in captivity are always not as good as growing naturally." Yin Yin Russia ate heartlessly, but Yinhu and Yinhu Yinhu looked at each other.Minzhi picked up a piece of fish: "I also ate fish once on the way back. The ones caught fresh from the Yangtze River are different..."

Yinhu snorted: "Let's talk to the ninth brother about the pearl..." Yinhu's spirit perked up: "Sister-in-law eight, do you have any new ideas?" Minzhi thought for a while and said: "This time When I went to Suzhou, I was lucky enough to go shopping with Huang Ama, and found that the freshwater pearls in the south of the Yangtze River have already been cultivated artificially. If I can master this technology, I can use it in the East Pearl..." Yinzhen looked at Minzhi like a monster: "Sister-in-law, This... This idea is good... But Dongzhu collection requires an order from the Ministry of Internal Affairs..." Minzhi curled her lips: "Ninth brother... This clam meat is also a dish..." Yin'e raised his head: " Is it delicious?" Minzhi smiled and said, "It's delicious, I'll try to make it another day..." The two stared at the same time: "Sister-in-law Ba, can you cook?" Minzhi was taken aback by them: "Why? It's..."

"Brother, I'll come over for dinner tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow..." Yin'e announced immediately.Yinhu touched the cup and smiled: "I'm bothering you tonight..." The cup in Yinhu's hand gave a heavy meal.Minzhi's black line: "Ninth brother, the cook may be caught by fresh clams today. I don't know if there is such a thing in the capital..." Yin'e patted his chest: "I have this thing on me, definitely!"

The glutton's power is great, and at night, when Yin'e came, the little eunuch behind him was carrying two mussels in his hands.Shouting all the way in: "Sister-in-law Ba, can this thing be eaten?"

Minzhi received two mussels, cut the meat into large pieces, and marinated them with cooking wine and minced ginger. The fat cook had never seen anyone make mussel meat, so he came here specially to steal.A group of servants in the kitchen also came to watch, and Minzhi patiently explained: "Clam meat is cold in nature and has an earthy smell. It must be marinated for enough time..." While talking, he fried other dishes, and finally Put the marinated clam meat in a hot pan that has already been fragrant and quickly stir-fry: "When frying, the speed must be fast or the meat will become old." Finally, pour soy sauce and pre-prepared thickening sauce, and finally pour A little chili oil.When I brought it out, I specially ordered: "Tell Master, this dish is a bit spicy, let him eat less..."

The next day, the news that the newly opened Fuji Restaurant in the capital city launched a new dish spread like a gust of wind all over the city of Beijing. Customers flocked here, everyone wanted to taste the taste of the newly launched stir-fried clam meat. Here, mussels are eaten by the poor, especially in the north, where it is very difficult to see them.Now that it's on the menu in a grand manner, how can you not try something new?After a few days, the price of a stir-fried clam meat rose to two taels of silver.The value of mussels has also changed from no one cares about them to hard to find.

Yinzhen was counting the money at home, thinking about what the eighth sister-in-law said, why not use a trick first, let everyone see the value of the mussels, the owners of the capital and surrounding restaurants are not fools, when everyone is looking for a place to raise mussels, develop When it comes to clams and vegetables, I used this name to find people to dig people from Jiangnan to the production base of Dongzhu in the north. On the surface, they cultivated mussels. Mass production, this mountain of gold and silver..., Xiao Jiu's peach eyes are narrowed..." In fact, he didn't know that his eighth sister-in-law was a foodie. Go to mynah's house to eat more, and as time goes by, business opportunities will come.

Minzhi herself doesn't know that stir-fried mussels have produced huge added value. Residents along the Yongding River rely on water for their water and develop mussel farming. Those who don't raise mussels are not allowed to take water from the river.The residents voluntarily dredged the river and built embankments. In the later stage, what kind of snails, snails, and all freshwater shellfish can find farmers in this river. The Yongding River is called clear, and it is called gentle. For more than 100 years, there has not been a single flood disaster.Some sections of the riverbed have been widened and dug a lot deeper, of course, these are all later.

Right now, Yinhu is still dawdling in the bureaucracy, after Kangxi returned to Beijing, the crown prince was locked up in Yuqing Palace and he didn't come out, the old man hid in Changchun Garden with Shiba, and the others lived their lives.

But Minzhi got busy, there was more Hanyin in the family, the only child in the family, although it was a girl, but Minzhi didn't have patriarchal thoughts, so she brought the little girl over every now and then, and let Chen Gege stand in front of her Son, hugging the baby and saying a few words is Yinhu's compensation for not spending the night in her room for a long time. Soon after, she found that Chen was not very concerned about the girl she gave birth to, but was more concerned about her postpartum figure. Very caring, Minzhi suddenly realized that she was thinking too much.

On the other hand, Muren in Dongzhuang also made her worry. After careful questioning, she found out that he was almost targeted by Yinzhen. After the two children escaped, they have been hiding in Tibet. He was afraid of causing trouble for her, so he never dared to go back to the house to find her. It was not until he got the news that the Babeiles and his wife were accompanying the Kangxi Southern Tour, so he took the two children all the way. Follow south.

After Minzhi found out, she was very distressed, and repeatedly asked her to come back to her as soon as possible in the future. For the two children who were with him, Minzhi fully trusted them and let them live with Muren in Dongzhuang , handed over to Ke An to take care of them, and usually train with them, but do not participate in labor, and still maintain freedom of entry and exit.

Besides, the group of people trained by Ke An, now is the most difficult time for them. They have to train in the morning, go to Nanzhuang to harvest crops in the afternoon, and have to turn around late at night. Originally, Minzhi wanted to gather another magic weapon of PLA, "emergency assembly" "Revealed to Ke An, considering that these months are busy farming season, she decided to be kinder...
