The blessing of the splendid farm family is married to the world

56 The Return
One is the prince who is recovering from his injuries, and the other is the princess who came to find someone. Mr. Yue said that the business in the county is doing a little better now.

An Xu hadn't told him the reason why he couldn't go to the county seat, so he smiled and said to the old man, "Can I get in the car and experience it?"

Mr. Yue was immediately distracted, and said with a smile: "It's very good. If you like it, I will give you this carriage."

An Xu thought to himself that it took you so long to make it, how could you want it.

Holding up her skirt, she got into the carriage and sat down opposite Mr. Yue. The coachman waved his whip, and the carriage moved without bumping at all.

An Xu thought to himself, when he bought a horse for himself in the future, he would definitely order a carriage like this from the old man.

People who have never done the current carts have no idea how bumpy the carriage will be when the horse runs. It is not an exaggeration to say that the buttocks are full.

An Xu still had to take care of her small cart, not letting the coachman brought by old man Yue go too far. After turning back, she made a cup of strong hot tea for the old man and the coachman.

The sky was overcast, and it looked like it was going to snow.

After drinking tea, Mr. Yue said to An Xu, "Why don't you rent a small shop in the county town to do business? The county town has a lot of people, so having a shop is better than being exposed to the wind and sun."

An Xu shook his head, "We ordinary people can't afford a place like the county town."

Seeing that she didn't like the county town very much in her words, Mr. Yue didn't say anything more, he just pointed to the coachman sitting on the other side of the table and said: "This is my second grandson Yue Feng, he is not very good at carpentry, but he can get along well on the water Come on, the people in Water Transport are more united, if you have any troubles in the future, you can find him."

An Xu thanked her with a smile, but now she has formed a lot of good relationships, not to mention that no one will bully her in Xuejiaji, even in Zhipu County, she has many allies.

Just like what An Xu said just now, life is not easy for ordinary people, so they are easy to form a group. Her recipes are not secretive, and the ones she sells are not expensive, and there are very few small vendors who are hostile to her.

Naturally, everyone was curious, where did she get so many snack recipes, someone asked, and An Xu said that she saw that everyone liked what she made, so she thought about it when she got home.

For this reason, she also asked her younger brother who was studying in Xin'an Town to go to the only bookstore in the town and buy her two books related to cooking.

In ancient times, technical work such as cooking and blacksmithing had to be handed down from master to master. There were no professional books at all, and it was not easy to find two related ones.

However, cooking skills are nothing more than frying and frying. What An Xu currently sells are all snack recipes. There are no big dishes that can be served at the table. Compared with the popular food in the Ming Dynasty, the biggest feature of these snacks is that they are new and clever. .

Some time ago, An Xu made some rice noodles with old rice, but there was no need to sell them. Many people in the food business knew that they were made of rice when they tasted them. Isn’t it just like noodles?When I went back, someone tried it out.

An Xu wasn't angry at all, she just made rice noodles specially for people to imitate, look, she didn't sell her new recipes for money every time.

In this way, more people really didn't realize that it was amazing that this little girl could make such fresh snacks before.

After all, people often eat noodles. Who would have thought of making them with rice?It's just that people thought of it.Moreover, the little girl also reminded the hawkers who made the rice noodles, saying that the rice noodles made with old rice taste better.

Doesn't it mean that as long as the things she makes can be penetrated and made by herself, there is no need to buy them at all.

Therefore, every time An Xu opens his stall, the first ones to come are the hawkers who heard the news.

The people among them are constantly changing, and many of them have already obtained prescriptions to start stable small businesses, and I heard that the business is pretty good.

Regardless of whether some of these hawkers had bad intentions or not, with so many people present, no one could cause any trouble.

For An Xu, if she wants to go to the county to do business at this time, it is not impossible.

But that county town, mainly because of the hidden behind-the-scenes people in the county town who had some power against her, made her dislike it very much, and she didn't want to go there to do business at all.

"Thank you, old man, for your kindness," An Xu said, and nodded to old man Yue's second grandson.

The young man looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a tough appearance, but a gentle expression, "I heard that the girl made a kind of dry noodles here, which can be kept for a long time. I wonder if I can make a lot of them?"

An Xu has indeed made dried noodles. Sometimes she wants to take a break, so she only sells noodles when she goes out of the stall. Now that she has capital, she can buy some meat and cook it casually to make delicious stew.

The dried noodles are made every day after she closes the stall and returns home, and the accumulated amount becomes more and more, gradually weighing dozens of kilograms. If she sells noodles, she takes a handful of dried noodles, which is simple and worry-free.

I don't know if dried noodles don't need any craftsmanship, and no one pays attention at all.

Yue Feng was the first person to ask An Xu about the noodles, and she asked, "How much do you need?"

Yue Feng made some calculations in his mind, and said: "Take fifty catties first, how can it be possible to make it?"

The family still has [-] catties of noodles, of course, I can bring him [-] catties of noodles the next day, but it's just so much, when will I have to eat it?

"Although my dry noodles can be stored, it should not be too long," An Xu reminded.

Yue Feng smiled and said: "Don't worry, girl, we have more than 20 big men in a boat, and fifty catties of noodles. If we really want to eat it openly, we can finish it in a day or two."

"Okay, you can come and get it the morning after tomorrow."

After chatting for a while, Mr. Yue was about to go back and asked An Xu: "I see that the things at your stall are almost sold out, why don't we ask A Feng to deliver them to your home?"

An Xu smiled and said, "No need, the peach cakes I made today won't last overnight, and I'll sell them for a while. If there are no customers, I'll sell them in villages and towns on the way back."

Mr. Yue took a look at his grandson. It seemed that he didn't like it. He immediately said, "It looks like it's going to snow today. You should go back early."

An Xu agreed, watched the grandfather and grandson get into the car and leave, and sat down on the stool behind the cart.

It is more sheltered from the wind and not too cold.

However, the north wind was blowing, no matter how windproof it was, it was not a house, and it was inevitable that there would be wind leakage from all sides.

If the weather is not good tomorrow, she will not go out to the stall. By selling various snack recipes, she has now saved nearly 200 taels of silver.

Although there is still a light-year away from the richest man, but at present, it is not impossible to live without making money.

Another gust of cold wind swirled in, the sky was dark and low, and it seemed that it was going to snow.

An Xu thought about it and decided to go back.Just as he stood up, he saw a black camel team walking in front of him.

It couldn't be that the Fang family caravan that passed by here was going back north, An Xu happily ran to the middle of the road.After a while, I saw a person coming out of the camel caravan, and it was only when I got closer that I saw that it was Fang Fu riding a black horse.

"Fang Shaodong's house."

When the horse came to him, Fang Fu rolled over, and An Xu said with a smile, "It's really not a short time for you to go south."

Fang Fu, dressed in the dust, took the reins of the horse and followed An Xu to her small cart, "We have reached the southernmost point, and these two months are still short. Miss An, is there hot water for us? Everyone get a bowl."

"There is ginger jujube tea," which she has always prepared since the beginning of winter. The dates she used were bought from a merchant passing by on the official road, the ginger was from her uncle's field, and the brown sugar made by her younger brother was brewed. The weight of a bowl is thick, and the effect of keeping warm is excellent.

Fang Fu said: "Cook as much as you want, it's really cold today."

In fact, they started late this year, and it is not suitable for long-distance treks after November.

An Xu didn't know the inside story, but when he saw that the hands and noodles of the young master's family were frozen into buns, he sighed in his heart. There is an old saying that is true: money is hard to earn, and shit is hard to eat.

She turned on the stove, put on a large pot, filled it with water, and then sat a pot of water on the small stove next to it.

After the water boiled, she immediately made a big bowl of tea for Fang Fu, and served it with the leftover peach cakes.

After taking a few sips of hot tea, I felt much warmer. After taking another bite of dim sum, Fang Fu sighed: "The dim sum here is still delicious. I haven't compared it before. I can tell that the various teahouses and restaurants in Yangzhou are delicious. There are a lot of snacks, but after eating the ones made by the girl, it really doesn’t taste like that.”

An Xu: With such a sweet mouth, is this still the Fang Shaodong who was so wary of her small stall back then?

But Fang Fu is not exaggerating. Cooking is not just a matter of having a recipe. The same lotus root noodles, made by the chef in his own caravan, are not as good as those made by Miss An.

Fang Fu had enough to eat and drink here, and the large army of camels also caught up.

An Xu didn't have many peach cakes here, so she only served some ginger and jujube tea. As for the food, she offered to process them for free with the dry food of the camel team.

She also wanted to ask what the Fang family caravan brought from the south, and wanted to buy some by the way.So do yourself a favor first.

The most dry food that the camel caravan brought was the big air-dried pancakes, which were hard and dry, and the caravan brought them with hot water to eat in case they couldn't catch up with their meals.

An Xu looked at the baskets of dry biscuits collected from the caravan, and soon had an idea.

In her small trolley, there are several homemade seasonings such as chicken essence, oil-consuming shrimp powder, and a bundle of dried kelp bought from a caravan in the morning. At the bottom, there is a pinch of black and yellow spinach that was forgotten in it.

The ingredients seem to be few, but if you make Yu Province's special Hu spicy soup, it can be decent.

In order to make the hot pepper soup taste better, An Xu used more than half of his precious small bottle of pepper powder.

After it was done, everyone in the Fang family caravan lined up, each holding a bowl, and took a large bowl of sticky pancake soup from the steaming cauldron, turned around and squatted on the side of the road to eat.

Fang Fu also scooped up a bowl, and the broken pieces of pancakes were covered with thick noodle soup, soft but not lumpy, so he couldn't believe that they were made from his own hard dry grain pancakes.

"It's delicious, Ms. An, you are amazing. You can make anything delicious with your hands." On the other side, Mr. Zhao, who had already eaten half of the bowl, gave a thumbs up with a smile.

An Xu said modestly: "Cooking is the same as doing other things, the most important thing is to work hard."
