The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 88
Knowing his temperament, Shen Sisi smiled and said: "Forget it this time, and I will charge it next time. From now on, it will cost five cents a catty of brine. Anyone in the village who wants to buy it can come to my house to buy it from me. Er Gouzi, you can buy it too." Tell the people in the village..."

Er Gouzi was a little embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "... I'm sorry for your inconvenience, Tu Niu."

Shen Sisi didn't care too much, took a jar and filled it with more than a catty and said: "Go back and simmer on a low fire, the meat will be tasty..."

Tu Gen could not help accepting it, and said: "Thank you, I will call Er Gouzi to return the jar later." After speaking, he took Er Gouzi away.

Er Gouzi looked unhappy, stared at Tu Gen and said, "Father, you have to pick up five cents too, how embarrassing is it?!"

"It's not because you have a big face, next time I want to buy it, I just give it back, this time it's fine..." Tu Gen seemed to have picked up a bargain, holding the brine like a treasure, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay Yes, I know I've lost your face, next time dad will definitely give you money, don't worry..."

Er Gouzi snorted, extremely dissatisfied.

"This kid has quite a temper..." Although Tu Gen said this, there was a smile on his face, and his steps were very brisk. Now who doesn't know that their second dog is the No. .1, and even his status in the village has risen sharply. Whoever sees him doesn't say what your second dog is like... This brat gave my father a lot of face.Hey……

"This local girl is really..." Tu Gen sighed, but didn't say the following words. He glanced at Er Gouzi and sighed. Now that Er Gouzi has really become someone's dog leg, compare it to her. My father is still loyal.

Er Gouzi felt a little bit sorry for getting a good deal. After thinking about it, he took Xiao Fuzi and the others down the river to fish for fish. Now he knew that the Zhong family was going to hold a banquet the day after tomorrow, and the banquet held here would not be short of fish. Yes, Rouzhong's family is not short of fish, but Er Gouzi still wants to catch some fish for their Zhong's family and do his best. Besides, Tu Niu is really kind to them boys. From time to time, I will give them something. They are already satisfied, and when they get something, they naturally want to give something back. The only thing they can do is to catch fish...

Er Gouzi was thinking about how much money he could save by the end of the Chinese New Year, and he was filled with joy.

At night, the six boys came over with eight fish, and said embarrassingly: "...Our fishing net was broken later, and we only caught these few fish, local girl, don't be disgusted..."

He scratched his head, put it down and left.

Shen Sisi let out a chuckle, these boys are very grateful, and she also knows what kind of broken net they use. In the past, the broken net could occasionally catch a few small fish for the tooth-fighting sacrifice, and it was time-consuming. Not shallow, it seems that they spent more time on these eight fish, they were light on courtesy and affection, Shen Sisi naturally bought it, and carried the fish into the kitchen with a smile...

Sibao looked at it, but the corners of his mouth twitched in panic. He just felt that Er Gouzi and his group were getting more and more stupid, and they would please this little girl, hmph.But when he thought of the delicious pickled fish she made, he paused, and unconsciously began to salivate.

In the evening... there should be fish with pickled cabbage, right? !Although the steamed fish with chopped pepper is also very fragrant and delicious, but now it is cold, eating pickled fish in hot pot is really a great enjoyment.

Naturally, I eat steamed fish with chopped peppers at night, because the family has pickled chopped peppers, but there is no sauerkraut available, so I can’t always borrow them.

Meditating on eating the fish, she was thinking about how to cook the fish at the banquet the day after tomorrow. If she chops the peppers and steams them, she is actually a bit reluctant to chop the peppers. She doesn’t pickle much, and she is going to eat it herself. Besides, the chopped peppers have already been marinated to taste. How could she be willing to take it out? She would still be talked about by the people in the village.

Forget it, let’s buy some sauerkraut and come back, then we’ll make sauerkraut fish hot pot, hey, I still have to buy hot pot...

After such a calculation, Shen Sisi made a list for Dabao when he set off the next day, asking her to buy fifty catties of old sauerkraut, ten hot pots, and fifty fish.

These things are very easy to buy in the county town. There are old people who have accumulated sauerkraut and put it in the market every day to sell. The price is not expensive, because this thing is not considered expensive. Some, because there is only a difference between whether they are delicious or not, the price is not high, and there are not many people who buy them. It is easy to buy fifty catties.

Not to mention hot pot, the blacksmith Fu Tieding will make this every day, and it is only a matter of saying that Dabao has gone, and he can buy it back with some cost, let alone fish.

There are more than 200 households in the village. It is enough to set up [-] tables at noon and night. A fish with a catty of old sauerkraut makes a table, and a big bowl of braised pork is also very decent. That's right, other dishes are common, and it's not a big deal.

In the countryside, the children do not serve the table, but set up another table to eat with the women. One table can accommodate 30 to [-] people. The food she has prepared is more than enough, and she may not be able to eat it.

Shen Sisi smiled, and if he couldn't eat it, he asked his friends to bring some food back, and kept the rest at home to eat slowly.

The people who got the leftover dishes from the banquet here were also very happy, and felt that they had been respected.

After pondering left and right like this, Shen Sisi figured out the dishes to be eaten at the banquet.

He Axiu also went around to borrow bowls and chopsticks, Zhong Gensheng went to borrow tables, chairs and benches early, and was afraid that it would be too late tomorrow... Fortunately, borrowing these in the countryside is just a matter of one sentence, and Zhong Gensheng came back with a lot of tables, chairs and benches in one morning... …

When Dabao came back at noon, the donkey cart was full, and one of the two big baskets contained [-] catties of old sauerkraut. Guess the Zhong family will entertain people with this thing tomorrow, right? !

Although they slandered but didn't say anything, they only laughed when they saw that the fish's feet weighed three catties.Anyway, I can eat enough to pay for it tomorrow...

As for the hot pot, no one knew it, so I didn't pay attention to what it was.

Dabao put the things down and said, "Tu Niu, I've bought all the things, and the money spent on these things is almost gone. This is the account book..."

Shen Sisi took it and flipped it through, and said with a smile: "You keep the money, don't give it to me, I will go to the village to buy some wine with the money, it will be easy to use for the banquet tomorrow..."

"Success..." Dabao thought for a while, then drove the donkey cart to the village, picked out cheaper wine, and bought fifty cans back, even if a table uses a large can, these fifty cans are enough up.

Shen Sisi squinted her eyes and calculated how many accompanying gifts she could receive tomorrow, and she didn't know if she could get back the money.Forget it, it's rare to enter the house and be happy once, even if you can't get back the money, it's nothing.

Shen Sisi was thinking about the base ingredients for the pickled cabbage fish hot pot that will be used tomorrow after lunch, Dabao put down the wine and walked over again, saying: "...the shopkeeper of Fumanlou came to me today, but I am more confused today. Busy, let him talk about it next time, I think he seems to be in a hurry, Tu Niu, you also said to let me leave him alone, so I will leave him alone."

Shen Sisi narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said: "Well done, this makes the emperor not rush to kill the eunuch. When he can't help but want to come, we can negotiate the price..."

Dabao nodded fiercely, he is not a fool, he understands a lot now, "He asked our address and said that he would come to visit someday..."

"That's a good idea..." Shen Sisi chuckled lightly and said, "Let's eat first, there are two pigs to kill today..."

Dabao responded, and happily sat down to eat.

In the afternoon, Butcher Wang slaughtered two pigs, and he didn’t leave until evening. When he left, Shen Sisi just gave him some fried hot pot bottom ingredients to take home for him to eat. He also told him how to eat it. Butcher Wang couldn’t help but be overjoyed. Let's go, now he finds that as long as it is made by a local girl, basically there is nothing bad to eat.

One pig needs to be marinated to be sold tomorrow morning, half of the other pig will be marinated, and the remaining half will be braised in soy sauce tomorrow.The Zhong family has two plates of meat on one table, which is considered generous. One plate is marinated and the other is braised in soy sauce. Naturally, there is nothing to say.

So, everyone is very busy today. Dabao and Sibao have been stewing meat in the kitchen in the afternoon, while Zhong Gensheng and He Axiu are choosing vegetables in the yard. They choose vegetables today, and they will be washed and fried tomorrow. It is very fast. Yes, Shen Sisi is cleaning the pig's internal organs, and is going to keep them first, so that they can be eaten slowly later.

Because Niu Xiaohua was still in pain, He Axiu only asked her to take care of her, so she was not willing to let her come out to do things. Niu Xiaohua was very grateful, so she nestled in the house and continued to do embroidery work.

The next day, Dabao took Er Gouzi and the others out early, thinking that they would be able to help the family if they sold out early and came back earlier.

Sibao stayed at home, basically watching the yard and following Zhong Gensheng to greet guests.He Axiu was helping Shen Sisi in the kitchen, while Niu Xiaohua continued to embroider in the room. She didn't have the strength to come out today, and she was afraid that Tian Osmanthus fragrans would come again, so she didn't dare to come out, although she couldn't help I feel guilty for doing something, but I really don't want to add trouble to the matter that the Zhong family is so happy about.

All the four large stoves in the kitchen came in handy, one pot was used for steaming vegetables, one pot was used for stir-frying vegetables, one pot was used for frying bottom ingredients and adding soup, and the other pot was used for boiling bone soup...

This stove is specially made for Shen Sisi, because she is small now. When she was making it, she asked the craftsman to make a stepladder. When she was in use, she moved the stepladder over and stood on it. Move it to a corner, it is very convenient for meditation.

Soon the smell was wafting from the kitchen, and the villagers gradually came to the door, with surprise and love for Zhong's big house in their eyes, but also a little bit of jealousy, under the leadership of Zhong Gensheng, all the houses were opened I read it all, and then I was slightly surprised when I got to the kitchen, and said: "...Is your local girl in charge today? Why didn't I hear that your family is hiring a chef?!"

But when everyone thinks about the stir-fried chestnuts, this braised pork is not made by this girl, so she is born with talent in this area, so what can you do if you are jealous.

While smelling the aroma, looking at the kitchen full of dishes and the contents of the four cauldrons, all eyes widened.

Zhong Gensheng chatted and laughed with them one by one, and led them out of the kitchen. At this time, Shen Sisi and He Axiu were too busy to react. How could they have time to talk to these people again, without even looking back, just Non-stop cooking, cooking, serving...

Lizheng and Mrs. Lizheng came with their children, and greeted Zhong Gensheng warmly, and Mrs. Lizheng whispered to Lizheng: "...Look at the grandeur of this big house, why do you have any hesitation? Anyway, our family, Chunxiang, you have to plan carefully..."

Li was sitting drinking tea and didn't speak all the time, then looked at the magnificent big house and sighed quietly, and said, "Where is Chunxiang, let her go and play with Niu Xiaohua..."

When Lizheng's wife was overjoyed, she pushed Chunxiang to find Niu Xiaohua.

Niu Xiaohua's house is easy to find, although she is hiding in the house, but after all, there are few such houses, so Chunxiang quickly found her.
