The grand lady who time-traveled became a hot mom

Chapter 73

Lin Qiulai drove the ox cart to the back alley of Shopkeeper Jin's big restaurant, and the kitchen staff greeted Lin Qiulai warmly when they came out, and asked him to pull the ox cart to the backyard.

Lin Qiulai is not as simple and unsophisticated as he appears on the surface, otherwise he would not earn money and pay taxes every year.

When Lin Qiulai came here to sell live fish for the first time, he sent a few big fish to the manager in charge of purchasing in the back kitchen before he went to see the shopkeeper.The steward was very happy, so he said a few nice words in front of shopkeeper Jin, and shopkeeper Jin had a good impression of Lin Qiulai.

After they negotiated a good deal, Lin Qiulai never forgot to give the kitchen staff a little favor every time they brought fish over. Although it wasn't much, it was better than nothing.So everyone is waiting to see Lin Qiu come, and is willing to give him convenience every time.

"Hello, shopkeeper Jin. The business of your big restaurant is getting more and more prosperous." Lin Qiulai greeted the shopkeeper Jin who came over with a smile.

Shopkeeper Jin said with a smile: "Brother Lin, is there anything you can introduce to me? Your wife is amazing. The salted fish, rabbit and tofu stew has helped me attract many customers."

Lin Qiulai didn't talk nonsense, and said to shopkeeper Jin, "I came here this time to introduce a good way of eating to shopkeeper Jin."

"Is it a new dish? 50 taels or 100 taels? I heard that your wife sells new dishes to Zhuji, and Changji charges them 100 taels. Half of it, only 50 taels, haha."

"It's not because shopkeeper Jin is generous. But this time I'm not introducing new dishes, but the best way to eat in winter." Lin Qiulai said with a smile, his expression is very similar to Fang Yumin, Sure enough, after getting along for a long time, there will be husband and wife.

Shopkeeper Jin was very curious after hearing this: "You came here in such a cold day just to tell me the best way to eat in a new winter?"

"Yes." Lin Qiulai said with a smile: "These days we are eating at home almost every day, do you want to see the shopkeeper Jin?"

"Of course, let's go, let's go to the kitchen." Shopkeeper Jin took the lead and walked to the kitchen. Lin Qiulai and Xiaoyang also followed with spicy hot pot sauce and sesame oil.

Lin Qiulai demonstrated the way of eating Yuanyang hot pot to the shopkeeper Jin and the people in the kitchen according to the method of making spicy hot pot at home, especially the preparation of the spicy hot pot bottom, everyone was surprised when they saw it.The red soup was spicy and the white soup was delicious. The tempting aroma lingered in the kitchen for a long time after boiling, which made them swallow their mouths.

Thinly sliced ​​pork belly, fish fillets, chicken nuggets, etc., don’t even need to taste the taste, just brush it in the red soup. How can it taste so tender and fragrant?These vegetables are just thrown into the white soup, why are they so sweet and delicious?There is also Q powder, just let it go, how can it taste better than hot and sour powder?
The mandarin duck hot pot made by Lin Qiulai and Xiaoyang, the shopkeeper Jin and the two chefs couldn't even talk, it was delicious and spicy, but they couldn't stop talking.

Looking at them, Xiaoyang couldn't help but think of the same thing when they ate hot pot for the first time, and couldn't help but look up at Lin Qiulai.Lin Qiulai also laughed, it seems that this time the business is going to be done again.

Shopkeeper Jin poured two glasses of water before he took Lin Qiulai's hand and said, "Brother Lin, how do you sell this spicy hot pot sauce? I bought all of them. It's really enjoyable to eat like this. It will be a hit when it's released. .”

Lin Qiulai said with a smile: "That's for sure. The soup is so fresh and fragrant. Shopkeeper Jin, my wife said, the small pot of spicy hot pot sauce costs 50 yuan, and the big pot costs 1 tael of silver. And these sesame oils, A bottle of 30 Wen."

Xiao Yang interrupted suddenly and said, "Master Jin, my mother said that she will only make this one jar this year. The weather is cold, and that one is hard to make. She said that I will make it in spring."

Shopkeeper Jin patted Xiaoyang's head appreciatively, and said to Lin Qiu, "Not bad, your child is also smart. Although this spicy hot pot sauce is a little expensive, it's better because everyone has never tried it, so I will definitely order it Try something new. Brother Lin, let’s go, let’s go to pay the bill.”

Lin Qiulai was very happy in his heart: "Then thank you, shopkeeper Jin. My wife also said that this spicy hot pot sauce is also delicious when used to marinate meat or stew ribs. Then you can ask the chef to try it."

Shopkeeper Jin said with a smile: "Okay, if you have any good things in the future, please remember to come to me."

"sure."

After settling the payment with shopkeeper Jin, Lin Qiulai took Xiaoyang to dinner.Xiaoyang's mouth is so sloppy, even if Lin Qiu came to order the signature dish of the restaurant, he still ate it like a toothache.

"Xiaoyang, what's the matter?" Lin Qiulai asked with concern: "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Could it be that you caught a cold from the wind?"

"No." Xiao Yang shook his head and said, "Daddy, the dishes mother cooks are much more delicious than those here. Let's hurry up and buy spices and go home."

Lin Qiulai couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "It's true that Xiaomin's cooking tastes better. But these dishes are all ordered, and we can't waste them. Eat quickly, and we'll go back early after eating."

"it is good."

When Fang Yumin cooks, he uses spices for cured meat, and the consumption of spices is quite large. Even if he buys it frequently, but recently Fang Yumin made spicy hot pot sauce again, and the stock is almost used up.

Lin Qiulai buys spices every ten or so days, and he is familiar with the stalls selling spices, so he usually saves some of the new products picked for him.

This time, Lin Qiulai bought almost all of what they had, whether they bought or sold, everyone was happy.Lin Qiulai bought some pig bones, pig offal and pork, and drove the ox cart home with Xiaoyang.

Fang Yumin sat on the pit, wearing a padded jacket and trousers, and wrapped in a chicken feather quilt, which made her feel warm.She said to Xiao Ming, "I'll bake green onion pancakes for you after you finish the questions on the table."

Xiao Ming acted like a baby: "Mom, I want to eat hot pot."

"What kind of hot pot are we mothers having for lunch? Hurry up, wait for your father to come back, let him knead the dough and make dumplings, okay?"

"Okay, I'll do it right now."

Xiao Ming sat down at the table with a smile and began to do the questions. Fang Yumin continued to conceive of her plan for next year.

Life is better now than when she first wore it, but it's not enough.Other than being a high-ranking official, Fang Yumin can only think of doing business if the money comes quickly.Although the businessman's status was low in ancient times, she is not afraid of being a woman.

Before the new year, the soy sauce brewed by Fang Yumin can be extracted and used.Whether the soy sauce tastes delicious depends on the raw material soybeans and water quality, as well as the ratio of salt.Fang Yumin decided to take out a small can and send it to the restaurant to see what kind of taste they like?
Because Fang Yumin was afraid of the cold, Lin Qiulai started to store firewood early on. The village wanted to make charcoal, and he burned a lot with everyone.So one of the most indispensable things at home is firewood and charcoal.

Now the ground fire dragon is burning vigorously, and the room and the living room are warm.After a while, Fang Yumin felt a little hot, and lifted the chicken feather quilt.Xiao Ming also untied the white and fluffy rabbit fur scarf around his neck.

Knowing that Lin Qiu would definitely buy pork when he came to Nantou County, Fang Yumin told Xiao Ming to eat dumplings at night.The sauerkraut and pork dumplings are good, and the leek and pork dumplings are also good. Well, the Chinese cabbage pork dumplings are also delicious.

In the warm air, Fang Yumin began to wander: "Xiao Ming, what kind of dumplings do you think we should make tonight? Sauerkraut pork? Leek pork? Chinese cabbage pork?"

Xiao Ming raised his head, smiled and said, "Let's do it all. I like to eat all of these."

"Pig, you!" Fang Yumin said angrily, "Eating dumplings is also troublesome, you know?"

Xiao Ming thought for a while and said, "Then mother, just talk about it, let's do it."

Fang Yumin closed the notebook and asked, "You want to eat that much?"

Xiao Ming nodded and said, "I think, I used to eat dumplings every year during the Chinese New Year, and I have been craving for a long time."

Fang Yumin was a little greedy when Xiao Ming said that.It is said that although she could eat dumplings every day in her previous life, because there are many quick-frozen dumplings in the supermarket, and there are all kinds of flavors.But I have never made dumplings myself.

In fact, Fang Yumin is a southerner, and he really doesn't know how to cook northern pasta such as steamed buns, steamed buns, and noodles.Fortunately, Lin Qiulai is the opposite of her. Lin Qiulai is very good at rubbing noodles and making steamed buns. Occasionally, the family does not drink porridge for breakfast, but eats steamed buns, vegetarian buns, and meat buns. These are made by Lin Qiulai.

"Xiao Ming, are you going to see if daddy and brother are back?" Fang Yumin couldn't sit still anymore. The weather is cold and it gets dark earlier. She is a little worried about Lin Qiulai and Xiaoyang.The wind is blowing so strongly, I don't know if they will catch a cold?

Xiao Ming responded and ran outside.Fang Yumin hurriedly caught up and tied the scarf around his neck before letting him go out.

Looking outside, Fang Yumin still got up, put on a rabbit fur hat and went out.Since we said we want to eat dumplings tonight, let’s go to the shed and cut some leeks and Chinese cabbage before it gets dark. Let’s come back.

The vegetables in the greenhouse are growing well, and the temporary built-in stove has also lit a fire, making it warm inside.Fang Yumin first inspected the vegetables in the shed, and then picked out good-growing leeks and Chinese cabbage and cut them home.

After a while, I heard Xiao Ming's voice, followed by footsteps.He rushed into the yard, followed by Xiao Yang who was carrying the spices, and they shouted loudly: "Mother, we are back."

Fang Yumin came out of the kitchen, took Xiaoyang's hand and said, "Is it cold outside? Your hands are frozen."

"It's not cold." Xiao Yang said with a smile: "After the shopkeeper Jin tasted the hot pot, he bought all the spicy hot pot sauce and sesame oil."

"Put down the bamboo basket quickly. Does that mean you didn't go to Zhuji?" Fang Yumin asked.

Xiao Yang nodded while putting down the bamboo basket: "No, Dad went to find shopkeeper Jin at the first stop."

At this time Lin Qiulai also came in, Fang Yumin went over to talk to him for a while, and then said to him: "Let's make dumplings tonight, Xiao Ming said he really wants to eat them."

"Mother wants to eat too, right?" Xiao Ming was unconvinced, since it was obviously Mother who asked for dumplings.

"Yes, mother wants to eat sauerkraut dumplings, kimchi dumplings, haha"

Lin Qiulai watched Fang Yumin joking with the two children with a smile on his face, and said, "Then I'll make the dough. After the wrap is done and cooked, it's almost dinner time."

"Okay, let's work together."

So Lin Qiu came to make noodles, Fang Yumin cut the meat and served dumplings, Xiaoyang Xiaoming picked vegetables and washed them.After all the preparations were done, the family of four sat around and started making dumplings.
