The beauty of the lady

Chapter 18 2000 years behind

Mrs. Zhao didn't say anything, just lowered her head and chuckled. She didn't like to gossip, and this hasn't changed since she was a child.

Presumably Aunt Hua knew this too, so she didn't expect Mrs. Zhao to agree, she just said it on her own.

In the kitchen, after steaming the steamed buns, she took them all out and put them on the clean straw next to her, ready to start stewing the meat. Put a little spicy pepper in it, Zhou Zhuang should like it very much.

Aunt Hua kept talking here until it was dark, then she twisted her body and left, and after she left, Zhou Mei was ready to serve dinner.

Picking up three steamed buns and bringing them in, seeing the big, fluffy and soft snow-white steamed buns, Zhao and Zhou Zhuang couldn't stop their smiles.

"Meier, did you steam this?"

"Mother wouldn't think it was given to us by the gods, would she?" Zhou Mei chuckled lightly, and then said, "There are still vegetables in it, so I'll get ready to eat when I bring it out."

When the plate of refreshing potato shreds and spicy fried roe deer meat came out, the room was filled with a spicy smell, which made Wednesday Zhuang twitch uncontrollably.

"It's delicious."

"That's right, Mei'er's craftsmanship is getting better and better." Mrs. Zhao praised.

Next to him, Zhou Tang, who might have smelled the fragrance, also grabbed Wednesday Zhuang's clothes, stood up staggeringly, and reached out to grab the potato shreds, but was stopped by Wednesday Zhuang, and then put it on his lap superior.

The little guy quit, babbling and leaning forward, if it wasn't for Wednesday Zhuang surrounding him, he would have fallen into the plate.

Mrs. Zhao looked at her son like that while eating, and said with a smile: "Does Tang'er also think that my sister's cooking is delicious?"

Zhou Tang, on the other hand, danced and danced in a very face-saving manner, and his happy big black eyes could not be seen.

"It's almost Chinese New Year, let's eat dumplings for Chinese New Year." Zhou Mei put down her chopsticks and said after she was full.

"Dumplings? What's that?" Zhou Zhuang heard another new word.

Zhou Mei has also gotten used to it. This is the Great Yan Dynasty that did not exist in history. Although there is also the Yan Kingdom in China's 5000-year history of civilization, it is fundamentally different from this.

Dumplings also have a history of 800 years in the previous life, and it is understandable that they did not exist in this overhead dynasty.

"It's just eating. Let's eat it at the New Year's Eve dinner. It's like ingots. It's also a celebration. Mother and I will make it together."

"What's the problem, mother is with you." Mrs. Zhao nodded with a smile.

"Tomorrow the pigskin jelly will be ready. I think next year we will take some to Fucheng with my father to have a look, and I think I will buy the recipe together. After all, it is the first copy of Dayan Dynasty. Find it A good restaurant is sold. If you have money, you can also see a doctor for your mother.”

Zhou Zhuang thought about it, and originally wanted to ask how much he was going to sell it for, but then he felt that the pork skin jelly hadn't been tasted yet, and he didn't know if it was good, so he might as well ask later.

The next day, when the two tasted the jelly pork skin, they were full of praise. It was Wednesday Zhuang who asked.

"Sister Mei, how much are we going to sell?"

"200 taels. What does dad think?"

After finishing speaking, I saw that Zhou Zhuang had froze.

It took him a while before he realized, and said with wide eyes, "200 taels?"

"Well, 200 taels, and I won't sell any less." This is a patent, 200 taels is enough, I'm afraid they won't accept any more, and the current price is not high, that is to say, silver taels are still very scarce.

"That's too much." Zhou Zhuang frowned and said, "200 taels, just to buy this recipe, can it work?"

"No problem." Zhou Mei nodded with a smile, "Scarcity is the most expensive thing, so don't worry, dad. When the time comes, as long as you stick to the price, we will definitely not suffer. After changing the money, we will come back Pick up my mother and go to Fucheng to see a doctor."

Zhou Mei is very confident that this menu can be sold. She is a businessman, and she understands the importance of seizing the opportunity. If she can think of this, other people will definitely think of it. It depends on whether she has the courage .

"Mother, this is an old hen stewed for you. You should eat some of the herbs in it every meal. Next year, Dad will definitely take you to Fucheng to see a doctor. We don't have land at home, so we don't have to worry about going far away. When the time comes, We won't come back after my mother's illness is cured, but we will rent a shop in the city, hire two assistants, and do some small business."

"Not coming back? How can I do it?" Zhuang Zhou disagreed a little. After all, this is the place where he lived since he was a child.

Zhou Mei understood his feelings, and finally changed to a tactful way, saying: "It's not that we won't come back, we still have to come back during the holidays, after all, we also have to think about Zhou Tang, we can't let him stay in Zhoujiazhuang .”

"That's the reason, then follow what Meier said, I think it's good." Zhao smiled softly, and wiped the custard from the corner of his son's mouth, "This food is indeed delicious, but my body No, you can't eat too much, his father, even if it's for Tang'er, let's try it."

Seeing that his daughter-in-law said so, Zhou Zhouzhuang could only nod his head, and said that he would still come back during the holidays, so he agreed.

On the day of New Year's Eve, Zhou Mei got up very early, and when she heard the sound of chopping firewood outside and the firewood piled up in the kitchen, she started to work.

After she washed up, she started to make breakfast, dumplings in the afternoon, and at least a few dishes at noon.

While having breakfast, Mrs. Zhao looked at her daughter and asked, "Meier, what are you going to do for lunch?"

Zhou Mei already had a plan in mind, so she said, "Stew chicken with potatoes, jelly pork skin with garlic, braised fish in brown sauce, stir-fry pork and cabbage, and make a soup. I don't know what kind of soup it is."

Mrs. Zhao nodded: "Why don't you just make cabbage and egg soup, just like the stewed noodles. I think it's delicious. Last time I used yam eggs. This time it should be delicious with cabbage. of."

"That's fine. Let's make dumplings in the afternoon. When we make more, Dad can send some to Aunt Hua's house."

"I see."

After breakfast, Zhou Mei tidied up and came to the kang to talk to Mrs. Zhao. Zhou Tang had already woken up, eating egg custard and drinking goat's milk.

"Meier is really sensible, better than me and your father, mother is very happy."

"We are so poor, we have to find a way. It's really sad to have no money in this world. My mother is not in good health. The whole family is supported by my father. I have to do something." After finishing speaking, she looked at Zhao Shi said: "Mother, do you want my younger brother to be an official in the future?"

Mrs. Zhao looked at the cheerful son who was eating in her arms, and her expression became very soft: "Who is right? Maybe your brother doesn't like reading at all, but according to mother's wishes, I still hope that your brother will become an official. , in the end it depends on what he means.”
