It can be regarded as helping Lu Qiyan stabilize the hearts of the people in the army.
Xia Mingyue calculated this, and after leaving the car dealership, she went straight to the butcher shop and asked Butcher Hong to reserve some fat and thin pork belly.
After arranging everything, Xia Mingyue walked back.
After arriving home, Zhao Dahu came up to him and stuffed the food into Xia Mingyue's hands, "Auntie, eat quickly."
Xia Mingyue saw that Zhao Dahu gave her a handful of glutinous rice sticks. He stuffed one into his mouth and said, "Who bought it?"
"I bought it with my pocket money." Zhao Dahu raised his chin, "To make up for it, um, treat everyone to eat!"
"This is strange." Xia Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled.
Zhao Dahu has always been known as an iron rooster, always willing to pay for his hair, but today he actually wanted to treat him.
"Not surprising, the sun still comes out from the east today." Zhao Erhu glanced at Zhao Dahu while chewing the glutinous rice sticks.
"They say that eating people has a short mouth. How come the food can't stop your mouth?" Zhao Dahu rolled his eyes.
Zhao Erhu laughed.
There is no blockage anywhere. Isn’t this blockage?
After eating glutinous rice sticks, why do you have the nerve to talk about someone secretly eating braised pork?
This time, I will spare you for now!
Zhao Erhu thought this way, grabbed a large handful of the glutinous rice sticks bought by Zhao Dahu, and stuffed them into Jiang Zhuguo's hands, "Aunt Jiang, eat quickly."
The braised pork was eaten secretly, and both of them were the victims. It was only fair that they both had to eat more.
Jiang Zhuguo took it with a smile.
Xia Mingyue and Lu looked at each other and smiled so hard that they couldn't even see their eyebrows.
In the next two days, Xia Mingyue and Lu were busy again preparing things to send to Xiaohe Village.
In addition to the braised pork delivered there, Xia Mingyue also cooked a lot of crispy fish.
Scrape the scales, remove the internal organs and gills of the fresh crucian carp, clean it, dry it, fry it in an oil pan for a while, then take it out and put it into a casserole one by one with the green onions.
Put sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, shredded ginger, rice wine, boiling water and some coriander, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat for two or three hours until the soup in the pot becomes thick.
Leave it overnight until the crispy fish is completely dry, then you can eat it.
Because the crispy fish meat has been completely cooled at this time, the texture is much more chewy than fresh and hot fish. However, because the fish bones have been stewed for a long enough time, they are completely soft and almost melt in your mouth. .
At this time, both the fish meat and the fish bones are extremely delicious. In addition to being salty and delicious, there is no lack of the deliciousness of crucian carp itself.
It can be said that it tastes extremely delicious and bold. It is very suitable for people who want to eat fish but are afraid of fish bones.
The price of crucian carp is low. Even if Xia Mingyue stewed fifty or sixty crucian carp in this large casserole, it did not cost too much money. Compared with braised pork, it is really cheap and delicious. Eat to satisfy your cravings.
Xia Mingyue stewed such crispy fish in four large pots before and after. Except for two large pots and the braised pork, Su Yongfu sent them to Lu Qiyan in Xiaohe Village. Xia Mingyue cooked the remaining two pots. Score a score with friends and family.
Not to mention the food that I eat at home, at Lv’s house, and those who join and work in Xiaji, I also gave some to Aunt Han, Sister-in-law Feng, Butcher Hong, Shopkeeper Qian and Dexin There in the garden.
The crispy fish received unanimous praise from everyone, and even He Shunzi from Dexinyuan also spread the word.
"Steward Fu said that Mrs. He thought the crispy fish made by Madam Xia was really delicious, and she was thinking of getting some more. This is the money to buy the crispy fish."
He Shunzi handed over the money bag. "Manager Fu said he didn't know how much these crispy fish would cost, so just let Madam Xia watch and prepare them. If there are more, just treat them as hard-earned money for Madam Xia, and let Madam Xia keep them."
"Okay." "Xia Mingyue said with a smile. Every time De Xinyuan gave her money to buy food, she always gave him a lot of money, which was a generous gesture.
Xia Mingyue opened the money bag, took out a small piece of silver from it and gave it to He Shunzi, "I want to trouble Brother He to help me find some distiller's yeast if he is not busy these days. Come on, it must be of good quality, but not too much.”
Some farmers will brew some wine themselves, drink it themselves, or sell it. It is not difficult to find distiller’s yeast.
The money Xia Mingyue gave was really too much.
However, the two families interacted with each other on weekdays, and many accounts could not be settled so clearly. He Shunzi did not refuse too much, "Okay, I will find it when I get back."
Here, Su Yongfu After driving for most of the day, I successfully delivered all my things to Xiaohezhuang.
When Lu Qiyan saw that there were four more jars of sugar and garlic brought out from the carriage than the expected jar of sugar and garlic, he was a little surprised, "Are these all?"
"Yes." Su Yongfu nodded, "In addition to sugar and garlic, there seems to be braised pork and crispy fish. Madam Xia asked me to bring them all. She said that they were all given to Lu Dutou, so that Lu Dutou could look at the arrangements. That’s it.”
Let him look at the arrangement, that is, let him share the food with the others.
About last time I saw that he was in a tight situation, and everyone liked the braised pork very much, so they made more of them so that he could sell a favor.
This Xia Mingyue...
Smart and seems to be very generous to him.
Lu Qiyan raised his lips slightly and ordered the people in the kitchen to move in the braised pork and crispy fish together, preparing to eat meat for everyone in the evening.
The cook was naturally overjoyed when he saw that there was something delicious again, and hurriedly called for people to move things and prepare vegetables and meals for the evening.
That night, all the soldiers in the capital ate a big pot of braised pork. Everyone once again feasted and shouted that they were satisfied.
When Su Yongfu got up early the next morning, he got into the car early and prepared to drive back.
The cook had a better memory this time and took out the prepared brown sugar and red date steamed buns and the rice cakes made in the past two days early, and asked Su Yongfu to take them back to Xia Mingyue.
"My craftsmanship is really inferior to that of Madam Xia. Please tell Madam Xia so that she doesn't dislike it."
"Definitely." Su Yongfu agreed.
Lu Qiyan sent Su Yongfu off. Before leaving, he stuffed Su Yongfu with a cloth bag.
"Take this trouble back and give it to Madam Xia." Lu Qiyan said.
Su Yongfu couldn't help but laugh when he saw that the bag was heavy and thought it was something Lu Qiyan brought for Mrs. Xia's household use.
Although Madam Xia is currently in the business of snacks and drinks, she can't stand the fact that there are so many people joining the franchise now, and the money she earns can rival that of a small restaurant. I'm afraid she doesn't lack the money.
But then again, no matter how much Madam Xia earns, these are all Lu Dutou’s wishes.
My heart is more important than anything else!
"Don't worry, Lu Dutou, I will bring it to you." Su Yongfu carefully put the bag into his arms and put it away.
“Walk slowly.”
"Lu Dutou stayed..."
It wasn't until the carriage was completely gone that Lu Qiyan went to the river. (End of this chapter)
