Chapter 33 The Origin of the Ancient Silver Hairpin
Shen Qingyu rolled up his sleeves and entered Qian's kitchen.

The food preparation here is really complete!

In late spring, there are wild onions and toon buds in the kitchen.

Shen Qingyu directly bought all kinds of brine in the space mall, packed them in muslin bags, put them in a pot, and boiled brine.

Then the hooves are blanched, cooking wine and soy sauce are added to the brine and stewed together.

I made a salad with toon sprouts in sesame oil, fried eggs with wild onions, and stewed chicken with potatoes...

When a table of delicious dishes was served, the Qian family was also amazed.

Shen Qingyu stretched out his hand to make an empty invitation: "You three have a try?"

Several concubines stood in a row, swallowing their saliva behind them.

Master Qian and Madam Qian were seated, Qian Wan's eyes were fixed on the hoof bowl.

They have never eaten stewed hoof.

Qian Wanliang was the first to pick up a piece of marinated trotter and put it into Mrs. Qian's bowl: "Mother, try it!"

Madam Qian took a sip, and was also very surprised: the hoof was so marinated that it had just come off the bone, and it smelled so fragrant, but it was not to the point of being smashed. After one bite, the protein was still springing from the tip of the tongue...

Master Qian also took a sip and nodded, "This hoof-tail does have a strange fragrance."

Shen Qingyu pointed to the marinated egg in the hoof: "This is also very tasty, why don't you try it?"

The three of them each had another marinated egg. Qian Wanliang nodded frantically after taking a bite: "Delicious! Delicious! Thank you, Sister Shen!"

It's so delicious that "little lady" becomes "sister Shen", and it's not in vain to come to cook by myself.

Seeing the expressions of the three members of this family, Shen Qingyu smiled: This knot against the fat and white young master has been unraveled, right?
After a meal, Master Qian and Mrs. Qian put down their chopsticks, only Qian Wanliang was still fighting hard.

Madam Qian raised her hand to invite Shen Qingyu to drink tea in the front hall. Shen Qingyu knew that the two of them had something to say to her, so she followed them to the front hall.

After the host and guest were seated, Master Qian spoke first: "Although you say you are an ordinary villager in Hengshui Town, I heard from Lao He that your man is not like an ordinary villager..."

Ordinary villagers would not have such a horse for transportation, let alone give the wife 200 taels of silver bills.

Shen Qingyu leaned forward slightly, making a gesture of listening, appearing very sincere.

"My man's situation is like this..."

After explaining the fact that Xiao Yunqi came back twice in seven years, Shen Qingyu confessed again: "I don't know what he does for a living outside, and I don't know why he suddenly became generous to me..."

Everyone in the village knows these things, as long as they are willing, they can find out in minutes.

Master Qian lowered his eyes and searched for "famous people with black foreheads" in his mind. After thinking for a while, he suddenly thought of a person he had only heard of but had never seen before. Counting his age, he seemed to be about the same?

Surprised in his heart, Master Qian even sat up straighter.

"Since that's the case, let's expose the matter of your man beating the dog."

"Gou Zi never forgets your craftsmanship. I wonder if you have the idea of ​​selling food? Or, would you like to come to my house to be a cook? I can give you five taels a month for your salary. If you think it is less, we can talk about it later. "

Shen Qingyu was taken aback, she didn't expect Master Qian to spoil his son so much!

Are you willing to spend five taels of silver a month to cook for yourself just because your son likes to eat the meals you cook?
but……

"Sorry, I don't have the idea of ​​being a cook for others for the time being. There are three children in my family, and I can't let them go. As for selling food..."

Shen Qingyu laughed: "I intend to do it, but you are in Fucheng, and I want to sell it here. It's not easy. It takes three hours to go back and forth..."

Master Qian nodded.

He was in business, so he naturally knew that the time cost was too high. Unless he lived in Fucheng, Shen Qingyu would not come to Fucheng to do business.

"However, I've been distributing bean sprouts in the village recently. If Mr. Qian needs it, I can ask my man to bring over bean sprouts. It's also okay to bring some stewed vegetables by the way."

Ask that master to send bean sprouts?
Master Qian began to doubt his own judgment, but he couldn't confirm it in a hurry, so he could only nod his head: "The bean sprouts in this season are rare, if you send them to Fucheng, you can send some to my house."

The deal was concluded and the knot was resolved. Shen Qingyu smiled brightly with joy: "That's great. My man is still waiting for me to go back at the gate of the city. If there is nothing else, I will leave."

Madam Qian, who had been silent at the side, suddenly said, "Miss Shen, can you show me the silver hairpin on your head?"

Shen Qingyu had already noticed that Mrs. Qian was looking at her all the time, but she didn't expect that she was looking at her silver hairpin.

Pull out the magnolia flower silver hairpin and bring it to Mrs. Qian: "What's the problem? Madam, please take a look."

Madam Qian took the magnolia flower silver hairpin and looked it over carefully, her hands trembled slightly.

She held the head of the hairpin and twisted it hard, the magnolia flower hairpin that seemed to be one piece was split into two pieces, and the inside... was actually hollow!

Madam Qian was very excited, picked up the half of the hairpin and poured it out vigorously, and a paper roll came out.

"Master... this..." Madam Qian couldn't speak fluently, trying to open the scroll while speaking.

But her hands were too trembling, and she failed to open it after several attempts.

Master Qian took it and opened it, and inside there was a 200 tael bank note and a small note with a line written on it.

Shen Qingyu was dumbfounded.

I suck!

No wonder this thing is worth 200 taels of silver, dare you have a bank note in it!

Seeing the bank note and characters clearly, Madam Qian became even more excited, and she grabbed Shen Qingyu's hand with tears in her eyes: "Son, where did you get this silver hairpin from?"

Shen Qingyu felt that her hand was going to be pinched green again: "I bought this from a jewelry store in Hengshui Town."

Hengshui Town...

Madam Qian let go, turned her head and held Master Qian's hand, her tone was choked up: "Master..."

After all, Master Qian is very sensible, and explained: "Miss Shen, this silver hairpin was originally a family heirloom of my wife..."

So Shen Qingyu heard a story about a missing lady from the richest man in the prefecture.

It turned out that Mrs. Qian had just given birth to a daughter in her early years, when Master Qian fell ill and lost her fertility ever since.

A daughter is not considered an heir, Madam Qian didn't want her family to be left alone, so she discussed with her impoverished cousin's family who had four sons, and adopted one of her sons.

Unexpectedly, within a few months after the son was adopted, the daughter suddenly disappeared!
This silver hairpin is what my daughter put in her purse for fun when she was lost.

"She was only two years old at that time... woo woo woo..." Madam Qian cried and fell into Master Qian's arms.

Master Qian asked his wife to come in, took care of Mrs. Qian to the backyard, and asked about the specific situation of the jewelry shop with a sullen face.

Shen Qingyu told the truth.

The town's economy is not as developed as that of Fucheng, and there are no big pawnshops, and jewelry shops will also accept some jewelry sold by others.

This silver hairpin was most likely sold by the family who raised the daughter of the Qian family!
 A monthly ticket will be issued.

  Favorite it.

  The update frequency will be faster and faster.

  I am a hardworking bee.

  buzzing...
