A beautiful little life in a farmhouse

Chapter 6 Selling Recipes

With a way to make money in her head, Mu Wanniang came out of the space, looked at Sanwa who was playing with rolling pumpkins on the wooden canopy bed, and searched for some memories of the original owner about the county town in her mind.

If she starts from here now, it will take about an hour to walk to the county seat, and two hours (four hours) to go back and forth. There are bullock carts in the village to go back and forth, but she has no money on hand, so she can only walk. She would be back before dinner at the latest.

But it took too much time to go to the county, and there were only two children at home, so she was not at ease.

Mu Wanniang felt a little bit about giving up, but then she thought that only after she had money would she be able to live a better life, as long as she let the sensible Shitou watch over Sanwa at home, she would definitely be able to do so in a hurry.

But before she went, she had to save food for the two children, and it happened that the pumpkin still tasted a little steamed.

Just do it.

Mu Wanniang hurriedly lit the fire to prepare to steam the pumpkin.

She cut it into a very small piece, and when it was cooked, she took it out and crushed it with a spoon, which was just right for Sanwa to eat.While waiting for it to be ready, she took out the recipe she brought out, chose a less troublesome vegetarian dish, and began to memorize it bit by bit.

There is no way, she doesn't understand the words here, and she doesn't have the pen and ink to copy the above method, so she can only lean on her back.

After the pumpkin was steamed and pressed, I told Shishi again and again. Seeing his hesitation, I knew he wanted to follow, but this was the first time for Mu Wanniang to go to the county seat, so it was naturally laborious, let alone take him. up.

"Don't worry, Shitou. Sister went to change the money and I'll cook something delicious for you when she comes back." Before she went out, she put the book back in the space, and asked Shitou to lock the door. If there are people outside, don't bother. If someone comes to make trouble over there, ask him to find Aunt Wang.

After Mu Wanniang closed the door carefully, she was still not at ease, she went to find Aunt Wang and asked her to help her look at this side, and don't let the people from the Mu family come over at this time to take people away and sell them.

Aunt Wang agreed, "Go to the county by yourself and be careful."

Although she didn't know what she was doing as a girl in the county, Aunt Wang knew that it was not easy for her, so she didn't ask any more questions, and agreed to let her come back quickly.

Mu Wanniang naturally thought so, she quickened her pace and walked towards the county, passing the ox cart on the way, seeing that she was not ready to get into the cart, she left without asking, but the two sitting on it were carrying baskets The aunt saw her and made fun of her.

"You didn't see it yesterday. This little girl was holding two knives and was about to chop that Mu Liu's head. If someone didn't stop her, I wouldn't know which prison she is squatting in in the county now."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this one has no father or mother, and he will go crazy if he is not taught."

"I feel sorry for the two sons in that family. I don't know what this little girl will teach me in the future!"

"I don't know if I will live until then..."

Mu Wanniang: "..."

The voices of the people in the village were already loud, and the ox cart was getting farther and farther away, and she could still hear the chatter of those two people.

Mu Wanniang didn't take it to heart either, she finally arrived at the county seat, and after a short rest she went to find several small restaurants nearby, and they all drove her out, and even one of them was opened before she even spoke. Drive people out.

This fucking world!

Mu Wanniang walked to a restaurant that looked exactly like the kind that made a lot of money. She didn't go to the main entrance, but followed the cart pushing vegetables to find the side entrance. When the boy in charge of the side entrance was about to close the door, she hurried in. The front said: "Hey, little brother, I want to do a business with your shopkeeper, can you show me your shopkeeper?"

The young man probably had seen the world, looked at her, and didn't just drive her away because of the patches on her clothes.

He asked her directly: "What business do you want to do? Not everyone can see our shopkeeper if they want to!"

"I have a way of cooking. You probably haven't seen it before, so I want to let the shopkeeper take a look and see if it's worth the price."

"Oh?" The boy was raised by the shopkeeper, and he knows that cooking, except for some chefs above, the method handed down from the countryside is the best.

And the little girl in front of her could see that her family's conditions were not good, and she came from the countryside, so she must have a good prescription.

"Then you come in first."

Mu Wanniang breathed a sigh of relief, it was considered a success.

The servant took her to the kitchen at the back, "Our shopkeeper has a lot to do every day, so we can't come to see you just because of your small recipe, so you cook that dish first and let the chef in our restaurant taste it." Say it again."

Although Mu Wanniang's cooking skills are not bad, compared with the chef, her cooking is naturally not good.

"Brother, I won't get started. The spatulas in your restaurant are too heavy." Looking at the iron spatulas in the hands of the chefs, Mu Wanniang felt that she couldn't handle them at all, "How about this?" , let me talk about the steps, how about letting the chef here cook the dishes?"

The boy looked back at her small body, and smiled, "That's fine, you tell me, he will do it."

He pointed to a tall and thin chef. Mu Wanniang went over, looked back at the ingredients in the stove, and listed the dishes to be used, "Two ribs, a spoonful of rice wine, ginger, Garlic, vinegar and rock sugar."

As soon as the words fell, the servant immediately refused.

"Little girl, I didn't say that such a little meat is not cheap these days. Besides, we have a lot of ribs in our restaurant. The braised and stewed ones are not bad. Don't waste materials in our restaurant."

Mu Wanniang naturally knew, but she must be determined before doing business, she said bravely: "If the food is not tasty, I am willing to compensate."

Anyway, she has no money, so she will just stay and wash the dishes for a few days.

Even though she thought so, she was still trembling in her heart.

"Brother, the pork ribs I make here are not often seen outside. I cook sweet and sour pork ribs, which taste different from other ones."

The servant has never seen the use of sugar for cooking, but the chef on the other side has heard of it, "My master once said that some people in the capital used rock sugar and white sugar for cooking."

The boy hesitated, but since the little girl said that she would compensate if it didn't taste good, it's better to try it first, and he won't lose, so he immediately asked the chef to continue cooking according to the little girl's words.

Mu Wanniang breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately turned her eyes to look at the kitchen, and found that although there were no peppers here, there were large red and green peppers.And there is cornel, which should be a substitute for pepper in this era.

The next thing is to cook. Although the ingredients are less, not only the heat but also the process is quite complicated. It took a lot of time to make this small dish.

She was completely relieved to see the chef's surprised expression after tasting a small piece.

She was right.

The boy also tasted it, and he asked the waiter behind him to go and call the shopkeeper with an unclear expression. When the shopkeeper came, he took a look at the dish and frowned, "Just this dish?"

"Shopkeeper, try it first, this is not the braised pork ribs sold in our shop."

This sweetened dish is delicious.

Hearing the words, the shopkeeper sized up the little girl standing there, put it in his mouth with chopsticks, and didn't speak for a long time.

"What's the girl's name?"

Seeing his expression, Mu Wanniang knew that this matter was considered a success.

"My surname is Mu, what do you call the shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper asked the boy to open a box, he had to talk about this business.

If the talk goes well, he doesn't believe that this little girl has only one hand.

　Because other rare dishes need a lot of seasoning, such as oil consumption and various sauces, which were not available in ancient times, so only this sweet and sour pork ribs is the most suitable, and it is just a novel, everyone will treat it as a novel look ha.

　　Then let me talk about the setting of the Daxi Dynasty here: the development of the Daxi Dynasty is very prosperous, and the current emperor values ​​business, so the business exchanges between the north and the south are very common, and they also bring ingredients, fruits and various things that are not available on both sides. , and there are other sources of income, so if there are some ingredients or fruits that may not appear in the future, this is the explanation.
