Chapter 198 Something happened
Put four eggs into twelve eggshells of warm water. Stir them evenly and pass them through with a whisk again. Because of the bubbles generated by constantly stirring the egg liquid, put it in the water and boil it. On the back cage.
After steaming over low heat for as long as a cup of tea, you can serve it out.
The steamed eggs made in this way are tender, smooth and full of egg flavor. They are Wu Jin’s favorite during this period.
Wu Jin was also very satisfied after eating the steamed eggs. He kept strict supervision over the two large white geese to prevent them from running around and pecking at people or vegetables in the yard. .
After harvesting radishes, mustard greens and cabbages in the vegetable patch in the courtyard, Xia Mingyue planted some vegetables that could grow in winter.
Cilantro, spinach and garlic.
At this time, the three vegetables are growing despite the severe cold. Although they are still green and shiny, they also appear to be quite thin. This is the time when they need the most care.
These are Xia Mingyue’s treasures, and they need to be protected by Wu Jin!
Qianji Shop’s braised food trial sales continue to be booming. All the braised food has been sold out, but people are still coming to buy it. Some customers have even started to place reservations for the braised food.
Upon seeing this, shopkeeper Qian and Mr. Liu continued to maintain the braised food stall while renovating the interior of the shop to completely transform it into a professional braised food shop.
As for the rouge, gouache, and various ointments for wiping the face and hands in the previous shop, Shopkeeper Qian and Madam Liu sold some of them at a low price so that they could be cleared quickly, and the remaining parts were of excellent quality. Yes, it is intended to be given as a gift to maintain the favor.
Since it was a gift, Xia Mingyue was indispensable here, and Mrs. Liu was thinking that Xia Mingyue was always busy in the kitchen, and oil, salt and other substances would inevitably make her skin rough, so she gave her a large amount of There are moisturizing creams and pig pancreas powder that can wash away greasy stools without hurting your hands.
In addition, thinking that Xia Mingyue was a young daughter-in-law, she would inevitably be a bit spoiled most of the time, so she prepared several boxes of sunflower powder, rouge for her face and lip balm to moisturize her lips.
For these, Xia Mingyue did not refuse, collected them all, and used them with Jiang Zhuguo and Lu.
The lard ointment used to protect the hands was large. Xia Mingyue borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha, and also gave some to Zhou, Song and others.
They are all people who have to wash and do work on weekdays. Even if they pay attention to maintenance in winter and use warm water as much as possible, when the north wind blows, the fingers on the back of their hands will inevitably get cracked and cracked. Apply some lard ointment to protect them. It is quite practical to prevent hands from freezing.
Everyone thanked Xia Mingyue, and they did not forget to say thank you to shopkeeper Qian and Mrs. Liu when they came to pick up braised meat and other goods in the morning.
Shopkeeper Qian and Mrs. Liu gave Xia Mingyue so many things because they wanted her to be a favor. Now the favor finally returned to the couple, which made them feel a little embarrassed but also heartwarming. .
The braised food business continues, and Song, as the person in charge of the braised food business, is very concerned about it.
Because the braised food needs to be braised in advance and soaked in the soup for a period of time before it can be completely flavored, and it cannot be braised too early so that the braised food does not look too fresh, so Song strictly followed Xia Mingyue's suggestion, both After preparing everything at the end of each night, I go back to rest.
When I got up in the morning, I went to Xia Mingyue's home early to check the status of all the braised food and make sure there were no problems before distributing the goods.
Working like this can be said to go out early and come back late, shining under the stars and the moon.
Seeing Mrs. Song like this, Xia Mingyue felt happy but also a little worried. She only chatted with her and gently persuaded her to pay more attention to rest. She also forcefully asked her to go back at noon to rest for an hour before starting to work.
The work here in the central kitchen is mostly busy in the morning and afternoon. There is not much work at noon, so you can still do it in the afternoon. Xia Mingyue began to implement the noon shift system, so that everyone can get enough of rest.
"Ms. Xia just got a monthly salary increase. We are discussing how to do more things for Mrs. Xia in different ways. Now we are asked to take a rest. We really feel bad about it." Mrs. Song was not very happy.
“Rest when you need to rest.” Xia Mingyue said, “This person is not invincible. Overwork will always harm the body. If work is not done well because of overwork, then the gain outweighs the loss. A good rest will help. If you have the energy and strength to do a good job, you will get twice the result with half the effort, don’t you think that’s the truth?”
It’s better to sharpen the knife than to chop wood.
Seeing what Xia Mingyue said, everyone stopped refuting, and just followed what Xia Mingyue said. Except for those on duty, everyone went back to rest for an hour before coming back to work. Song was not on duty today, so he had to go back to Feng's house to rest for a while.
As soon as she left Xinghua Lane, Mrs. Song saw Li Shuisheng walking in a hurry.
Ms. Song did not hide, but she also frowned, "You want to see me if you have something to do?"
"Yes." Li Shuisheng nodded, "Sister-in-law, I came here to tell you that I I gave back the yard I rented earlier."
Seeing that Mrs. Song didn't say anything, Li Shuisheng continued to explain, "I have a servant's room in the Luo family. It’s a waste of money to rent the house over there. In this way, you can save some money every month.”
“Sister-in-law, don’t worry, the Luo family is kind and will not lack anything. , I can eat well and live well. After I work hard for a few years and save a few years of money, my sister-in-law will marry me to Zhang Luomen. I..."
"I will start a family well!"
After saying this, Li Shuisheng's eyes were a little red and his lips were trembling slightly.
To be fair, he didn't want to say this originally, and he didn't want to have a family, but judging from the current situation, if he didn't think about it, he would lose his only relative.
When the time comes, I really won’t even have a home anymore.
He didn't want to see such a bad result.
Mrs. Song saw that Li Shuisheng had obviously thought about it, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "It's best if you think so. Work hard in the future and try to get more wages."
"Sister-in-law will also help you save it. With some money, I will buy you a courtyard as soon as possible, so that you can have peace of mind when you get married."
"Yes!" Li Shuisheng nodded heavily, "I have nothing else to do. "Okay, let's go now. If anything happens, sister-in-law can come to Luo's house to find me."
"Okay" Mrs. Song nodded.
But under normal circumstances, she should have nothing important to do.
When Li Shuisheng saw this, he smiled and left quickly.
After Mrs. Song watched Li Shuisheng go away, she walked to Mrs. Feng's home.
While walking, I was thinking about what Li Shuisheng said just now.
I know that I want to get married and have a family, and I know that I need to plan for the future. This should be regarded as something I have figured out.
That's good...
Mrs. Song felt her heart lightened a lot, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.
But this smile completely disappeared when he saw Liu Tiezhu.
After moving out of her home, Mrs. Song first made things clear to Li Shuisheng, and then when Liu Tiezhu came to look for her again, she rejected her completely.
