The grand lady who time-traveled became a hot mom

Chapter 77

"Xiao Min." After Lin Qiulai drove the ox cart into the yard, he couldn't wait to shout into the house.

Fang Yumin and her two sons were sitting cross-legged on the kang playing 24 cards, when they heard Lin Qiulai's call, they shouted: "I'm in the house, come in."

Xiaoyang put down the playing cards, and Fang Yumin said, "Mother, I'll pour a bowl of rice soup for Dad to go to the cold."

"Well, you can go." Fang Yumin nodded with satisfaction, and Xiaoyang got off the kang, put on his shoes and ran out.

Xiao Ming helped Fang Yumin put away the playing cards and notebooks, and Lin Qiulai also entered the room feeling cold.

"Father, hurry up and drink some hot rice soup." Xiao Yang came in with a plate, on it was a bowl of steaming rice soup, a plate of pork and tofu.

"Okay, Xiaoyang, thank you." Lin Qiulai sat down at the table, picked up the rice soup and said to Fang Yumin, "It would be even better if it was rice wine."

"Then Xiaoyang, go and boil some rice wine for your father." Fang Yumin said.

"Okay, I'll go right now."

"Father, where's the second uncle?" Xiao Ming walked up to Lin Qiulai and asked.

"Your uncle bought a lot of things and went home." Lin Qiulai hugged Xiaoming and said with a smile, "I also bought candied haws for you and Xiaoyang, and put them in the kitchen. You go share them with brother Xiaoyang. Let's eat."

Xiao Ming looked back at Fang Yumin hesitantly, and ran out happily when Fang Yumin nodded.

After a while, Xiao Ming came into the house with a bunch of candied haws in his mouth and a bunch of candied haws, accompanied by Xiao Yang who was carrying rice wine.

Lin Qiulai took the warm jug with a smile and poured two glasses of wine. Fang Yumin said, "Xiao Min, why don't you drink with me."

"Okay." Fang Yumin didn't refuse, took the glass and drank slowly.This ancient wine-making technology is not as good as modern ones, and the liquor produced is not high in alcohol content, but has a sweet taste, but if you drink too much, you will get drunk.

"Xiao Min, after the shopkeeper Jin ate the roast suckling pig, he said that he would come over to eat steaming hot food tomorrow." Lin Qiulai smiled: "I told him, my wife said, I want to learn how to make this, we have to accept it." 500 taels of silver. He said no problem."

Fang Yumin was naturally happy in her heart, but she didn't expect Shopkeeper Jin to be so forthright.She asked Lin Qiulai, "What did Zhuji say?"

"The shopkeeper Zhang said it was too expensive, and the effect can be achieved by roasting it carefully with firewood. He only wanted to buy the recipe of the sauce, so he still offered 100 taels."

"Short-sighted." Fang Yumin shook his head, how hard it is to cook with an open fire!Get a roasting well, and roast five fat pigs at the same time, saving time, effort and effort.And this baking well can be used all the time.

"The shopkeeper Zhang wants to buy the sauce recipe, but you told him that we are not selling it outright?"

"Well, I told him that shopkeeper Jin also bought it. He seemed surprised that shopkeeper Jin was willing to spend 500 taels to learn."

"Sometimes he regrets it." Fang Yumin raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "The taste and texture of this grilled in an oven will be much different from that of an open fire grill. No matter how good the open fire grilling technique is, the gravy cannot be completely locked in." The inside of the meat, and the meat is not tender enough, this high-temperature roast can immediately lock the gravy and keep the tenderness inside. Just wait, after the gold shopkeeper pushes the roast suckling pig, roast duck, and roast chicken, it will definitely be big Sell."

Speaking of this, Fang Yumin couldn't help but sighed, and said: "If we have more money in our hands, I also want to buy a house and a bunk in the county, and it would be great to sell this barbecue. But wait for the 500 taels Now that we have the money, let’s go to Nantou County to buy a house next year.”

Lin Qiulai nodded: "Okay, I'll ask Shopkeeper Jin to find out. But what should I do here?"

"This is our concrete sample house, what should we do?" Fang Yumin smiled: "When we buy the house, the shop, and so on. This is our foundation, so naturally we won't lose it. If we are too busy , we can buy a few servants to take care of it.”

"Buy a servant?" Lin Qiulai was shocked and almost choked on the wine.His family has been farmers for generations, when did they buy servants to serve them?

"Well, otherwise it depends on the two of us, how can we do it?"

"Isn't it okay to hire short-term labor?" Lin Qiulai scratched his head, "It's like when our house is being built and the farming season is busy, can't we invite people from the village or Wangjia Village to do it?"

Fang Yumin shook his head and said: "We still have to hire someone to do it when the farming season is busy, but we also need to do some work at home, such as drying grain, breaking corn, making bean koji, drying and so on. If we move to the county, I will It’s impossible to walk on both sides every day, right? How can we be so busy?”

Lin Qiulai thought about it and felt it made sense, so he said, "Well, Xiao Min, you can make up your mind."

"Hmm." Fang Yumin asked again: "Did Manager Jin say when he'll be here?"

"He said he would come over tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll make him a delicious meal tomorrow." Fang Yumin said to Lin Qiu with a smile: "There are not many people who are as courageous as shopkeeper Jin, so you can talk to him more and learn from him." That's good."

Lin Qiulai smiled and said, "I see."

The two talked for a long time, and Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang sat quietly next to each other, eating candied haws and listening to their parents' conversation.

Afterwards, Lin Qiu came to the backyard to kill pigs, chickens, and ducks. Xiao Yang went to help him, and Xiao Ming boiled hot water in the kitchen.Fang Yumin couldn't watch the scene, but still shouted loudly that she wanted to save the blood to make blood red.

At around ten o'clock the next morning, the shopkeeper Jin brought the chef of the restaurant, that is, his eldest nephew Jingui, here in a carriage.

As soon as the two got out of the carriage, they looked up at the high walls and deep courtyard of Lin Qiulai's house, and they were surprised.

After walking around the shopkeeper Jin, he said to Lin Qiu who had already greeted him at the door: "Brother Lin, your house is so beautiful, and the environment is also beautiful. Well, the house is not worse than the one in the county town. Hey, isn't this Qing Chai, what kind of Clan is this?"

After finishing speaking, shopkeeper Jin tapped the concrete clam with his hand.Jingui also walked over to knock, with a puzzled look on his face.

Lin Qiulai smiled and said, "This is the earthen clapper that my wife made. Come on, go in and sit down, it's cold outside."

"Okay, let's go in together." Shopkeeper Jin walked in with a smile. He didn't expect that a farm lady would be able to adjust the clam, and Lin Qiulai dared to use it to build a house.Look at how complete and beautiful the layout of this house is, even compared to the Qingdao houses in the county town, it is not inferior.Knowing how to cook such delicious food and having such talent, the shopkeeper Jin admired Fang Yumin in his heart.

Fang Yumin took Xiaoyang and Xiaoming to greet the shopkeeper Jin and Jingui in the living room. After greeting each other, they got to the point.

The treasurer Jin took out five 100 taels of silver bills from his pocket, and Fang Yumin said, "Miss Qiulai, here are the 500 taels of silver bills for you first."

Fang Yumin took it over, smiled and said to shopkeeper Jin: "Little lady is really grateful to shopkeeper Jin for trusting me. Please believe me, I will never disappoint you. In order to make it easier for shopkeeper Jin and Chef Jin to see every step And how to do it, and in order to taste the delicious food at the first time, we will have lunch in the backyard at noon today, my husband has already arranged it, please come here."

A bamboo shed had been temporarily set up in the backyard. The bamboo shed was surrounded by tarpaulins to keep out the wind and sand. The bottom of the tarpaulin was wrapped with thick firewood to prevent it from being blown up by the wind.

A round table and six benches were placed in the bamboo shed, and a charcoal stove was burning well under the table, so it was not cold at all to sit in it.On the table are several food boxes and six sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Lin Qiulai, Fang Yumin and Jin Gui, the shopkeeper, gathered around the baking well, and Xiao Yang and Xiao Ming followed to see.Lin Qiulai explained to them how to bake wells, and then demonstrated how to grill.The first to appear is the roast suckling pig.

Shopkeeper Jin and Jin Guiyou were full of surprises when they saw the baking well, and then they were full of surprises.Watching Lin Qiulai's family skillfully hang the pig, brush the sauce, test the doneness, brush the sauce again, punch holes, brush the sauce again, and return it to the oven, the tempting smell has been lingering in the nose for a long time.

Finally the roasted suckling pig was ready. When it was brought up, the oil was shiny, and the pig skin seemed to be crispy. It looked delicious.Lin Qiulai quickly picked up a special big knife and chopped it into pieces, then put the whole suckling pig on the table.The six of them immediately sat down around the table, the sound of swallowing saliva one after another.

Fang Yumin opened the food box and took out a dish of sweet sauce and a dish of brown sugar.Then he opened a steaming steamer in the middle and took out a plate of sliced ​​steamed buns.While demonstrating, she said: "You can eat it directly with sauce or sugar, it is crunchy, fragrant and sweet; you can also eat the suckling pig with sweet sauce and steamed buns like me, so that it is not greasy. Come on. , Shopkeeper Jin, Chef Jin please."

The shopkeeper Jin and Jingui were also polite, nodding while eating: "Sure enough, the freshly made one is ten times more delicious, no, dozens of times more delicious, it's so delicious!"

There is not much for a suckling pig, and I will eat up a piece of it in no time.

Then came the roast duck.Fang Yumin put the scallions, cucumbers, noodles, and sweet sauce that had been cut long ago.Lin Qiu will peel the roast duck skin, and Fang Yumin will demonstrate again.Roasted duck skin with marinated sauce, scallions, and cucumbers are wrapped in dough and chewed in your mouth. Well, she has brought out the way of eating Peking duck.

A roast duck was quickly carve up, leaving only the skeleton.

Roast chicken and rabbit are on the stage at the same time, or they can be eaten by tearing or cutting into pieces. At this time, everyone no longer insists on it, and just wants to have a good time.The skeleton of the duck and the head and feet of the suckling pig are all chopped into pieces, mixed with potatoes and sauce, and then put down to roast, it is a delicious staple food in a pot.

After eating Jin Treasurer and Jingui, his mouth was full of sweat and his belly was round.

"Treasurer Jin, what do you think?" Fang Yumin asked with a smile.

"Okay! The 500 taels are worth the money, it's so worth it!" The treasurer Jin gave Fang Yumin a thumbs up, and asked, "How is this sauce made? It's so fresh."

Fang Yumin is waiting for this. To bake deliciously, besides the tools and heat, the most important thing is the seasoning.She smiled and said, "This sauce is nothing special, just salt, sugar, wine, pepper, pork pollen, etc., as well as my own soy sauce."

Shopkeeper Jin immediately understood the main point: "The soy sauce made by Mrs. Qiulai must be the soul of the whole sauce. The spicy hot pot sauce you made last time has already conquered the stomachs of all the diners."

"Treasurer Jin has won the award." Fang Yumin hurriedly waved his hands with a modest look, and then frowned slightly and said, "But there is one thing, the soy sauce I brew at home is only for my own consumption. I didn't brew much. If I brew a large amount, I have to wait. At least a year."

Shopkeeper Jin pondered for a moment, and asked, "Will the taste be far worse if I use other soy sauce?"

Fang Yumin shook her head and said, "I haven't tried it, it probably lacks a fresh fragrance. I'll get some for you to taste, and you can see the difference."

After the two tasted it separately, the treasurer Jin asked, "How many do you have at home? I bought them all."

Fang Yumin glanced at Lin Qiulai and said, "I only opened one jar of soy sauce. There are still nine jars left, but I want to use them at home. I will sell you six jars at most. After the New Year, the other few jars When the sauce comes out of the vat, I'll ask Qiu Lai to inform you again."

"Okay, six cans are six cans. How much silver is a can?"

A can of soy sauce outside costs 20 yuan, even if her soy sauce is more mellow, it can't be too outrageous.Fang Yumin pondered for a while, and then said: "Don't mind, Shopkeeper Jin. I originally brewed these soy sauces for my own consumption. I never thought of selling them. If you want to continue to buy from me in the future, I will buy a lot of them next year." Brewed, I will sell it to you at a lower price. 30 Wen a can, if you only want these six cans, I will sell it for 50 Wen.”

Shopkeeper Jin couldn't help laughing out loud, "Miss Qiulai really knows how to do business. Well, I will make a contract with you. Next year, I will order 10 cans of soy sauce a month, and the price will be 30 yuan per can."

"Okay, shopkeeper Jin really speaks quickly." Fang Yumin clapped her hands proudly and said, "Treasurer Jin, I'll make you another dessert, and I'll use this oven."

Shopkeeper Jin laughed again: "Okay, I'll wait. It must be delicious. Although I'm too full to stand up."

The oven was ready and brought back. The dessert Fang Yumin made for shopkeeper Jin was meringue egg tart.This egg tart is Fang Yumin's favorite. Every afternoon, when it is just out of the oven, she will try to eat two, paired with a cup of milk tea, it is delicious in the world.

To make meringue tarts, you must knead the skin with lard, so that it will be crispy under high temperature baking.Add sweet egg syrup, eat a mouth full of loose fragrance.It makes people want to eat more, no matter how much they eat, they can’t get enough.

The fresh and hot meringue tarts are out of the oven, and the sweet taste has already conquered everyone's sense of taste.Fang Yumin said: "Eat it while it's hot, it's delicious when it's hot. Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming, be careful it's hot."

"understood."

Even though it was still steaming, the egg slurry was very hot, but it was quickly wiped out.Shopkeeper Jin rubbed his stomach with great emotion, what kind of food, what is eaten at Lin Qiulai's house is food!
