Little rich farm girl

The imperial court sent thousands of officers and soldiers to check the clues every day. The whole Xiliang city fell into panic for fear that if he said something wrong, he would be arrested and put into the Yamen.

But after checking for half a month, I didn't find a clue. The city gate has been blocked all the time. The merchants and people who need goods in and out of Huaqing Street complain a lot. They can't help the Imperial Guard. They can only withdraw the guard of the city gate and return to their usual way in and out of the city.

After Wang Xiaoming's death, no one came to Liu Yuanyuan's trouble. Liu Yuanyuan's mind was all on the layout and preparation of the new store. After a busy period of time, the hot pot shop has begun to take shape. That day, Liu Yuanyuan was checking the newly arrived tables and chairs in the store. He heard the bright voice of Jinqi, "boss Liu."

"We are already friends. If you call boss Liu, you will always feel that you have a score. Why don't I call you Yuanyuan like them in the future." as soon as Jinqi entered the door, he took a chair and sat down and said to Liu Yuanyuan.

"Then I'll call you Jinqi directly in the future, and we'll avoid those polite words." Jinqi is forthright and natural, and Liu Yuanyuan is naturally willing to make friends with such friends.

"I've brought you good things this time. Last time I ate hot pot with you, I always felt more than enough. I often recall the amazing taste of that day." Jin Qi's expression seemed to aftertaste the taste of hot pot that day.

"I just thought it was a little bad. Later, I went back to think about it. The problem should be the beef and sheep meat. Our hometown is mainly grassland. Cattle and sheep are raised on the grassland on weekdays. The meat is thick and tender. The mutton you ate last time is far less delicious than ours." Jinqi said seriously.

"So this time I brought you some cattle and sheep raised on our grassland, and let you taste what's different from your central plains." Jinqi said and pointed to the direction of the door. Liu Yuanyuan looked in the direction of his fingers. Three lambs and an adult cow were tied to the stone pillar at the door in a lazy daze.

"Jinqi, you didn't come all the way here just to bring me some cattle and sheep to taste fresh." Liu Yuanyuan asked Jinqi with a smile. Businessmen can't get up early without profit. Even if they are friends, Jinqi won't travel long distances just to taste fresh for her.

Jinqi simply scratched his head and said with some embarrassment, "we raise cattle and sheep in our family. There is no market at all. I know that your hot pot shop will be more prosperous and have a greater demand for beef and mutton. If a long-term supply agreement can be reached, the people on the grassland can also make some money to improve their lives."

Liu Yuanyuan also felt that the beef and mutton he bought at the butcher's shop had poor taste. On the one hand, it was not fresh enough, on the other hand, the meat was a little firewood. If he really reached a supply agreement with Jinqi, it would also be good for the reputation of the new store. He said he would try the meat quality of these cattle and sheep before making plans. Jinqi quickly untied the animal tied to the door and returned to Yuanyuan hot pot shop with Liu Yuanyuan.

"Sister Yuanyuan, why did you go out and bring back a lot of cattle and sheep? Are we going to change our profession to raise sheep?" as soon as she entered the door, sister Jiang watched curiously around the three lambs pulled by Jinqi.

"These are just for you to eat. If you like to raise them, I'll bring you some lambs next time." Jinqi directly took some cattle and sheep to the backyard and tied them up.

"But the lamb is so cute. If you eat it, you always feel a little cruel." sister Jiang looked at the lamb's dark eyes and tilted her head at herself. She felt a little unbearable.

Liu Yuanyuan looked at the way Jiang Mei and the lamb looked at each other, smiled and said to her, "why don't you feel cruel when eating pork."

Jiang Mei thought about it and felt that Liu Yuanyuan made sense. She touched the lamb's head and watched Liu Yuanyuan prepare dinner.

Liu Yuanyuan simply started the bottom of the red oil pot, cut several plates of mutton at will, and several people sat around the table and ate the hot pot. Jinqi took the lead in putting a few pieces of mutton in Liu Yuanyuan's bowl and said, "Yuanyuan, try it first."

Liu Yuanyuan picked up a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth. The mutton was tender and soft. It was wrapped in fragrant sesame paste and left a fragrance in his mouth. "It's really different from the meat bought in the store. You two, sister Jiang and brother three, try it."

"This sheep is longer and more lovely than ours, and the meat is more delicious," said Jiang Mei, who was busy eating mutton without raising her head.

Third brother Jiang tasted it and said, "the meat is indeed more compact and tender, but it is also because the mutton is fresh. The taste of the freshly slaughtered mutton naturally retains the flavor of the live sheep. Zeguo is a long way from here. It must be transported in large quantities once you come to the Central Plains, but there are so many sheep that our hot pot shop can't be used up in a time, and there's no place to put them."

After listening to what third brother Jiang said, Jin Qi suddenly felt that his idea was a little simple. He didn't consider so many actual situations and was speechless for a moment.

"Since the Jinqi brothers want to seek some benefits for the grassland people, they might as well buy a field in the open area nearby and herd all the cattle and sheep from Zeguo. In addition to supplying our restaurant, they can also contact other Street merchants. After forming a certain scale, they can supply goods from Zeguo to the Central Plains on a regular basis." Third brother Jiang methodically analyzed the current situation with Jin Qi.

Jinqi thought for a while, slapped the table fiercely and said, "it's still brother Jiang's thoughtfulness. That's it. I'll find a land early tomorrow morning."

After the four had enough to eat and drink, they went to rest, but Liu Yuanyuan lay tossing and turning in bed and couldn't sleep at night. Thinking of the opening of the new store, Liu Yuanyuan was worried in addition to looking forward to it. The new store is different from the current small workshop. In such a large place, if there is only hot pot as an optional meal, it will be a little monotonous. Moreover, beef, mutton and pepper are hot food. If you don't add some fire reducing ingredients, if the diners go home after eating, they are too hot and uncomfortable, which will damage the reputation of the store. After thinking about it, I think we should add a few refreshing dishes to relieve greasiness in addition to hot pot, which not only adds flavor, but also can be used as a feature to attract diners.

Early the next morning, Jinqi set out to look for a wide place with turf around. Liu Yuanyuan went to the grocery store and fruit stall to buy tremella, hawthorn, crystal pear and shuilingling white radish.

Back in the kitchen, tremella was soaked in clear water and torn into small flowers, hawthorn was cored and cut in half, crystal pear was peeled and cut into small pieces, water in the pot was boiled, a handful of rock sugar was added, boiled for an hour, tremella colloid melted and let cool. It became a bowl of Hawthorn tremella soup which could clear away heat and moisten throat.

Peel and cut the fresh Shuiling white radish into small strips, marinate it with salt for a while, rinse it with water, and soak it in cut Erjing strips, white sugar, white vinegar and a small amount of cold boiled water for a day.
