Chapter 159 The world is tough
Yu Xiaolian knew that posting letters in ancient times was very inconvenient, but she didn't expect it to be so inconvenient.

Only after running to the post station did I realize that those official post stations are not open to ordinary people like them.

Yu Xiaolian had never mailed a letter, and Zheng Yuanfeng asked someone to send her reply letter to Jiang Lin.

Thinking that the last time Jiang Lin sent her a message through the Escort, Yu Xiaolian also planned to visit the Escort.

The people in the bodyguard bureau told Yu Xiaolian that there was no bodyguard going to Yangcheng recently, so there was no way to send a message to Yu Xiaolian.

Yu Xiaolian is in a hurry, Su Jingyue is lost, Su Jingchen must be crazy.

There is no way to send a letter, so she spent the money of a trip to escort a letter to the Mingxiang Pavilion in Yangcheng, right?

Zhao Biaotou laughed loudly, then shook his head, "Little girl, do you know how much we pay for the escort? You said you only need one letter, and I want to charge you too much money. I feel like I'm bullying the child. If I accept If there are fewer, it’s not worth it, so our Escort will not accept your business.

If you can trust me, put the letter here, and if you have business to go to the Northland after a while, I will send it for you. "

Yu Xiaolian asked, "Then, do your Escorts communicate frequently with Beidi?"

Escort Zhao said boldly, "I always go there once or twice throughout the year."

Yu Xiaolian asked again, "Then if I escort a treasure to Beidi, how much will it cost?"

Escort Zhao turned his head back, "That depends on what kind of treasure you want to escort? The size, value, quantity, weight, distance of the goods, and whether the goods are fragile or not all have to do with the price.

Another thing is that the distance to the north is far away. If you go by land, it will take more than four months to go back and forth. If it is less than two hundred taels, we will not accept it. "

Yu Xiaolian sighed, if it costs two hundred taels to send a letter, it seems a bit worthless.

Forget it, let her think of another way.

How about asking her father to come and send Su Jingyue back?
Forget it, Yangcheng will be in chaos soon, and Yu Xiaolian doesn't want her father to go back and take risks, in case something unexpected happens.

Anyway, Su Jingyue is safe at her house, let Su Jingchen think about it for a while.

Alas, there is no way, the world is difficult!
Before leaving, Yu Xiaolian gave Zhao Biaotou two taels of silver, and please, if Zhao Biaotou receives the business after a while, he must go to Taotaoju in the east of the city and tell her about the business going to Yangcheng or Linzhou.

"Taotaoju?"

When will there be another Taotaoju in the east of the city?Zhao Biaotou asked, "What does Taotaoju do?"

"It's a new grocery store opened by my family. It has all kinds of daily necessities. If there is a need, Zhao Escort can go shopping in two days. I promise you won't be disappointed."

When he heard that it was a grocery store, Escort Zhao was not very interested. He just wondered why this grocery store had such a strange name.

When Yu Xiaolian returned home, Yu Changhe and Sun Fengshou had installed the shelves in the two shops, and the two shops were completely new.

The cauldron for making braised pork has also been set up, waiting for Yu Xiaolian's guidance.

Yu Xiaolian had already copied a stewed pork recipe from "The Encyclopedia of Chinese Cuisine". In the past few days while waiting for the plaque, she not only took care of the chili seedlings, but also went to the pharmacy to buy spices.

Things like cinnamon bark, star anise, peppercorns, fragrant leaves and kaempferia, she got them from medicine shops.

It's just that it took a lot of work, because the ancient cinnamon is not called cinnamon, but cinnamon.

Star anise is not called star anise, it is called fennel.Shannai is called Lian Jiang here, and it took Yu Xiaolian several days to collect all the ingredients in the recipe, just the same thing, without chili.

Yu Xiaolian handed the revised prescription to Yu Changhe and asked him to put it away.

In case the brine is not preserved properly in the future, if it goes rancid, and the ingredients need to be picked up again, just follow this recipe.

Yu Xiaolian added half of the pot of water to the pot, then asked Yu Changhe to put the pre-washed pork and pork ribs into the pot under cold water, add green onions, ginger, and white wine, and bring to a boil.

After boiling, skim off the foam on the surface, and continue to blanch for five minutes to blanch all the ingredients thoroughly. After blanching, remove the water and wash it with warm water.

Yu Xiaolian wrapped the prepared spices in gauze and sealed the mouth.

Pour off the water that blanched the meat just now, and then replace it with clean water, put the blanched pork and ribs in, and put the tied braised pork buns in.

Then add the right amount of soy sauce, salt and sugar, as well as dried red pepper.

"Simmer on low heat for half an hour, then simmer for two hours, it's ready.

It should be noted that the material bag should be taken out after half an hour, otherwise the smell of spices will be too strong, and the meat will not be fragrant.

It is best to reuse this brine five or six times before replacing it with a new one, otherwise the weather is too hot now and it will definitely go bad.

Since I want to do long-term business, the meat I buy every day must be fresh. Well, I can’t try to be cheap.

When you buy it, you must wash it very clean, and there must be no pig hair on the pigskin.

This brine can be used not only for pork, but also for beef, chicken, and eggs.

Dad, you'd better save more of the things that are listed on the ingredient list.But don't buy it in a pharmacy, buy it scattered, otherwise others will know the secret recipe of our braised pork. "

When Yu Xiaolian was talking, the whole family listened carefully, including when Yu Xiaolian grabbed all kinds of spices, whether they grabbed a big pinch or a small pinch, they also took notes carefully.

This is a recipe for opening a shop, who wouldn't want to learn it?

"As for the pepper, I have already cultivated a pepper seedling. When it grows a bit, I will try to transplant it to the small plot in the backyard of our house. If it can bear pepper, we will go to Taohua Village next year. Buy a piece of land to grow peppers."

Speaking of buying land in Taohua Village, Sun Fengshou hurriedly said while lighting the fire, "If our family goes back to the countryside to farm, I will go back to farm. I am good at farming. I am afraid I can't do this business. I am clumsy." very."

Yu Xiaolian smiled and said, "I don't know what's going on with this pepper yet, let's talk about it when it grows!"

Sun pulled Yu Xiaolian away from the stove, "It's too hot, let your uncle burn it, let's talk inside."

As soon as Sun, Yu Xiaolian, and Mrs. Sun sat down, Zhao Erya ran over with a round fan to fan them.

Sanya is still young, her eyes are dull, and she just does what her second sister does.

When Erya beat Mrs. Sun's leg, she would beat her leg. When Erya pinched Mrs. Sun's shoulder, she also pinched her shoulder.

Now that her second sister fanned her, Sanya hurried to find a fan to fan Yu Xiaolian and the others.

After a while, the smell of stewed meat from the backyard wafted into the store, Sanya and Su Jingyue took a sharp sniff, it smelled so good.

Sun asked Yu Xiaolian, "Can such a big pot of stewed meat be sold?"

It's a hot day, if it can't be sold, it will go bad the next day.

Yu Xiaolian actually didn't know what to do, but on the street where their house was located, there was only one braised meat shop in his house, so it should be able to sell well.

Try selling it for a day first. If it is not easy to sell, she will improve the stewed meat ingredients and add a lot of pepper and chili to make it spicy. At that time, besides stewed pork, spicy duck can also be sold.

There are so many modern delicacies, but spicy duck has always been at the top of the trend and has never receded.
