Chapter 165 Slow Work Plan
Shang Wan does have this plan, but what she wants to open is not an ordinary restaurant, but a medicated restaurant that focuses on health preservation.
This medicinal diet is not a medicinal diet in the traditional sense, but a dish made from vegetables produced in Lingtian. It has real healing effects and takes a high-end route.
Of course, this is just an idea, and it is not suitable to bring it out until you have the strength to deal with the covetousness of others.
Currently, the main focus is still on growing herbal medicines, and the profits from buying and selling medicinal materials are still considerable.
After everyone finished eating, Lu Chengjing was responsible for washing the dishes, while the others had to continue working.
In addition to pork, the housewarming party also needs chicken, duck and fish.
Shang Wan was responsible for killing the chickens and ducks, scalding the feathers and trimming the bellies to remove the internal organs, and Stone was responsible for killing the fish.
Shang Wan and Lu Chengjing used a net to catch the fish together. Some were large and some were small. In order to make cooking easier and faster tomorrow, they had to be cut and cleaned before being fried.
Xiaohuan heated up a large pot and heated the oil. After the smoke started to come out, he put the prepared meatballs into the tiger's mouth and squeezed the meatballs down with all his strength.
The oil pan is rolling, and the skin of each meatball is fried until golden brown, and the aroma wafts up. Take it out and drain the oil.
Spread crispy meat, small fish, meat and ribs with condiments, coat the outside with starch, deep-fry in oil until the shell is crispy and golden, then pick it up.
After the oil temperature rises, fry again.
Steamed vegetables must also be prepared in advance. The ingredients are placed in each porcelain bowl and steamed for a round. Once it is cooked, you just need to put it in the steamer to heat it up tomorrow. It will be more delicious than freshly made food.
These are all slow and labor-intensive tasks. If you do it tonight, you will do less tomorrow, so as not to be in a hurry tomorrow.
Chu Xu wanted to eat when he smelled the aroma. Xiaohuan took a small bowl and filled two fried meatballs for him and Yuanyuan. They asked them to eat at the same time and not to crowd around the oil pan to avoid being splashed by oil.
The two children sat side by side on the soft cushions, munching meatballs facing each other.
Yuanyuan used millet to grind her teeth. Chu Xu thought it was fun and followed her example. She only used the millet to eat it with her front teeth. She chewed it in a few mouthfuls until she lost patience.
He was destined not to go to bed early tonight. After Lu Chengjing helped the two children wash up, he took them to bed.
Chu Xu had eaten and drank enough, his belly was round, and he slept like a little pig on the kang.
On the small bed separated by a wall, Yuan Yuan was covered with a small blanket and listened to his father telling stories. His eyelids drooped down, and his eyes became smaller and smaller, and he slowly fell asleep.
Lu Chengjing patted her gently, with a slight smile on his eyes and brows, and his voice became softer.
He didn't stop until the little guy fell asleep, pulled up the blanket, blew out the candle and went out.
Xiao Huan was still busy in the kitchen, Shi Tou was responsible for helping her, and Shang Wan was putting piles of food into the space.
The weather has entered summer, and although the temperature has not reached an unbearable level, the food has not been put away. Shang Wan planned to put them all in the space first and take them out early tomorrow morning.
Lu Chengjing walked into the kitchen, rolled up his wide sleeves, and asked, "What can I do?"
When the kitchen was being renovated, it was deliberately made half wider than the original kitchen, which is more than enough even for four people.
Hearing Lu Chengjing ask, Shang Wan looked around and said, "Just watch the fire. Xiao Huan said to keep it as it is now. If the fire gets smaller, add more firewood."
"Okay." Lu Chengjing turned around and brought out a small bench from the corner. He stood by the stove and watched the fire. His long eyelashes were lowered and his expression was focused.
The firelight added a layer of warm color to his fair skin, and even his contours softened, making his handsome face more eye-catching.
Shang Wan looked at it and felt that his fox's temperament and appearance were really incompatible with the kitchen.
She glanced at the night outside the window, and considering that Lu Chengjing could not maintain a body of two ounces of flesh, she thought for a while and said: "You are almost done with your work, you should go back to your room and sleep. If Yuanyuan wakes up and looks for someone, You can also comfort me."
Lu Chengjing turned his head, the firelight danced lightly in his eyes, and said slowly: "Yuan Yuan just fell asleep. It will take at least two hours before she wakes up."
Shang Wan understood and understood that he didn't want to leave.
Okay, you can stay if you want. It's already past midnight to finish all the work in the kitchen.
Everyone was very tired, especially Xiao Huan, whose legs and back were sore from standing.
Hot water is readily available, and everyone takes turns to wash up and go back to their rooms to sleep.
Sitting next to the oil pan, his hair was full of the smell of oil smoke, so Shang Wan couldn't help but wash his hair.
Naturally, she couldn't sleep with her hair still wet, and she didn't have the patience to dry it bit by bit, so her wiping movements became increasingly irritable.
"I'll do it." Lu Chengjing took the cloth and wiped his wet black hair little by little, gently.
Shang Wan yawned, lay down on the table, and fell asleep unconsciously.
After drying his hair, Lu Chengjing carefully smoothed it down. He leaned over and looked at Shang Wan's peaceful sleeping face, with a soft smile in his dark eyes.
Bending down, he picked the person up horizontally, placed him gently on the kang, and removed his shoes and coat.
There was no sign of Shang Wan waking up. Lu Chengjing held him in his arms, lowered his head, and scanned his eyes inch by inch, almost wantonly.
"Lady."
The voice was mixed with a sigh, and a light kiss fell on Shang Wan's plump forehead.
Shang Wan said "hmm" unconsciously, raised his hand to skillfully wrap around the waist of the person next to him, put his head on his chest, and rubbed it gently.
The coquettish behavior of a small animal rarely appeared on Shang Wan. Lu Chengjing knew that she was in a daze, so he couldn't help but stretched out his arms to hug her tighter. A feather seemed to fall from his heart, so soft that it was about to melt away.
His fingers caressed the warm skin on the side of the face in his arms, and he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss the corner of his lips softly.
Shang Wan breathed evenly and slept soundly.
ยท
Early the next morning, Shitou picked two firecrackers and lit them at the door.
"Crackling" is a signal to welcome guests.
When the sun rises, the guests arrive one after another.
The first ones to come were the women from the village. They all came to help with the washing and cooking, and they also brought many dishes and chopsticks with them.
These bowls and chopsticks are marked by each company and must be returned after use.
The men arrived more slowly, but they all carried tables and benches and spontaneously found space to place them.
No one in the village would prepare so many bowls, chopsticks, tables and stools, so whenever someone was doing something, everyone would bring some from home by default and take them back after they were used.
Shitou had inquired about it in advance, so Shang Wan and the others didn't prepare too much. It was enough for everyone to just make up for it.
Seeing the piles of fried meat in the big basin, everyone's eyes widened.
The scholar's family is a bit too real. I have never seen any family in the village prepare so much meat. What family can eat meat like this?
Many people couldn't help but swallow their saliva. The gluttons that were aroused by the aroma of braised pork yesterday seemed to be poking their heads out of their throats.
The adults are still concerned about being reserved, but the children are much more straightforward. They can't take their eyes away from the naked body and drool.
Xiaohuan was already prepared and brought out a basin of fried pork sticks to share with the children.
Not much, just two for each person to satisfy your cravings.
For a moment, the yard was filled with the cheers of children.
Seeing the smiling faces of the children, the parents' impression of Xiucai's family has improved a lot.
This is the one who knows how to get things done.
