   Chapter 645 645. The advent of braised vegetables (55)

  The old man wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, "The two young masters have already repaired the shantang for us, please come inside."

  Chu Qingzhi nodded, followed the old gentleman into the shantang.

  The layout of Shantang is very simple, a bit like a courtyard, but there are many houses and several schools. There are many bamboos planted in the yard, and the air is filled with the fragrance of bamboo.

  The old gentleman brought Chu Qingzhi to the seat of the school, "These are refurbished. In addition, the two young masters also bought some tables, chairs and books for us."

  Then he took Chu Qingzhi to the house where the children lived, "There are two or three renovated houses here, and now the houses are ready for people to live in."

  The old man took Chu Qingzhi to see all the repaired places. Along the way, there were smiles on his face.

  Chu Qingzhi was very satisfied, "Sir, wait a moment, I will tell them something."

"good."

  Chu Qingzhi took Luo Jisheng and Yan Jingkui aside, and gave them a silver note of one hundred taels.

   "You go and buy some chicken, duck, fish, pastries and fruits to the back kitchen, buy more, let the children have a full meal, and buy the rest cloth, practical cloth, and make clothes for the children."

  Luo Jisheng didn't take Chu Qingzhi's money, "We will definitely do it well." After speaking, he dragged Yan Jingkui away.

  During this period of time, they dealt with the people of Shantang, and they changed a lot of their ideas, and they wanted to do something for Shantang sincerely.

  Chu Qingzhi watched the two of them off, and smiled slightly.

  A five or six-year-old girl came over, she looked up at Chu Qingzhi timidly and curiously, and after watching for a while, she mustered up the courage to hand the wooden dragonfly in her hand to Chu Qingzhi, "This is for my sister."

  Chu Qingzhi looked down at the wooden dragonfly. The wooden dragonfly was half-new and half-old, with a very smooth surface. It could be seen that it had been touched and played for a long time. She took the wooden dragonfly into her hand, "Thank you."

  The little girl was very happy, "Sister, my name is Luo Xiaoyi, you can call me Xiaoyi."

  Chu Qingzhi touched Luo Xiaoyi's head, "Xiao Yi is so cute."

  Luo Xiaoyi smiled and rolled her eyes, "My sister is beautiful and cute."

  Chu Qingzhi was amused, "The mouth is so sweet."

  The other children saw that Chu Qingzhi was very approachable, so they all surrounded her. Sister, sister yelled, very close.

  The children are all very thin, their physical development is far below the normal age, their hair is also rough, and there are patches on their clothes, which makes them sad.

  Chu Qingzhi stared at the wooden dragonfly in her hand, her heart softened slightly, "My sister taught you how to make stewed vegetables. After you learn how to do it, how about you go to set up a stall to make money?"

  The older children were thirteen or fourteen years old, and the younger three or four years old. Hearing this, they immediately became excited.

   "Sister, what is stewed vegetables?"

   "We haven't heard of braised vegetables!"

   "Will anyone buy it?"

  The children were chirping like a flock of sparrows.

  Chu Qingzhi asked the children, "Where can I write? I will write down the process of making braised vegetables, and we will try it later."

  The children were very enthusiastic, "Mister's study can be used for writing, we will take you there."

  Following the children, Chu Qingzhi came to the old gentleman's study.

  The old man was looking at the account book, and he was having a headache. Shantang opened a grocery store, but the business was not very good, and he could only earn a few taels of silver every month. It was very difficult to support the two hundred people in Shantang.

  When the old gentleman saw Chu Qingzhi coming, he quickly put away his sorrow, and said with a smile, "Why did the girl come to the study?"

   "I plan to teach the children how to make stewed vegetables. After learning, I can go to the street to set up a stall to make money. At that time, my husband won't have to worry so much."

  The old man stood up in surprise, "Is the stewed vegetables and stewed vegetables easy to sell?"

   "Everyone has never eaten it, so I don't know how to accept it, but you can try it."

  The old man was overjoyed, "Try, try..."

  Chu Qingzhi wrote down the recipe of the stewed vegetables, "Sir, if the stewed vegetables can make money, the recipes must be kept well, and only those who are kind can use them."

  The old gentleman replied solemnly, "Don't worry, girl, I know what to do."

   After writing the recipe, Chu Qingzhi took Luo Xiaoyi to buy spices outside.

  The little girl has basically never been out of the shantang, and she was very excited when she saw the novel things outside.

   "pancake, pancake..."

  Looking at the pancake stall, Luo Xiaoyi swallowed, his eyes filled with longing, but he didn't ask for it.

  Chu Qingzhi bought a pancake and gave it to Luo Xiaoyi, "Eat it."

  Luo Xiaoyi reached out to pick it up, but finally took it back, shook her head and said, "Sister, I don't want to eat, I'm not hungry."

The little guy stared straight at the pancakes, it didn’t look like he wasn’t hungry, Chu Qingzhi thought for a while and understood, “Do you think it’s not good for you to eat alone if you don’t eat them?” ah?""

  Luo Xiaoyi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."

  Chu Qingzhi said to the stall owner, "I bought all your pancakes, calculate how much you paid, and send them all to Shantang in a while."

  The stall owner felt as if he had an auditory hallucination, "Girl, did you just say to buy all the pancakes and send them to Shantang?"

"Um."

   "The girl is really a kind person." The stall owner said with a smile, "I have four hundred and twenty pancakes, and each one costs ten Wen. You can give me four taels of silver."

  Chu Qingzhi took the money to the stall owner, "Hurry up and send it over."

   "Okay, okay, I'll send it right away..." The stall owner closed the stall as quickly as possible, and then went to Shantang with the burden.

  Luo Xiaoyi blinked a pair of big eyes, clear and bright, looking at Chu Qingzhi, "Sister, you are a very good person."

  Chu Qingzhi handed the pancake in front of Luo Xiaoyi, and said with a smile, "A good person is not counted, the most is to help children."

  Luo Xiaoyi shook her head, and said in a childish voice, "In my heart, my sister is a good person."

   "Don't trust strangers casually outside." Chu Qingzhi patted Luo Xiaoyi's head, "Let's continue walking."

"Um."

  …

   After buying all the materials, Chu Qingzhi took Luo Xiaoyi back to the Shantang.

   There are two kitchens in Shantang. Two women who cook are busy in one kitchen, and the other one belongs to Chu Qingzhi and the children. Out of curiosity, Luo Jisheng and Yan Jingkui are also watching.

  Chu Qingzhi opened the material package, and explained to the children the names of the ingredients, their effects, and the proportions when making stewed vegetables. She focused on teaching the dozen or so older children. After they learned it, they can go out to set up a stall tomorrow.

   "If you don't understand, just ask me, you must understand, understand?"

"Um."

  Under Chu Qingzhi's professor, the first pot of stewed vegetables was officially cooked, and everyone watched intently.

   "Sister, it smells so good."

   "This is just the beginning, it will be more fragrant after a while."

   "With such fragrant stewed vegetables, our business will definitely be good."

  The first pot of stewed vegetables is sauce-flavored, and the stewed pork head and pig ears are stewed, and the whole shantang is enveloped in the fragrance of sauce.
