Who is behind Chapter 97?

"Aniang, you called me?" Jiang Yuanxi sat beside Zheng Youniang affectionately.

Zheng Youniang ordered, "Ah Zhu, let's serve."

A'Zhu responded, and led the maids to serve the dishes.

Jiang Yuanxi looked at the different dishes in surprise, "What is this?"

Zheng Youniang picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile, "Eat, see if it suits your taste."

As soon as Jiang Yuanxi entered the mouth, his eyes lit up, his posture was still elegant, but the movements of his hands and mouth were much faster.

After a while, Jiang Yuanxi touched his belly and sighed comfortably, "These dishes are easy to eat."

She ate an extra bowl of rice than usual, and her belly was slightly exposed.

Zheng Youniang looked at her angrily and funny, and helplessly rubbed her stomach, "You, it's not like you can't eat the next meal. Why are you so full? The way to keep healthy is to be [-]% full."

Jiang Yuanxi groaned with a headache, and quickly interrupted A Niang's thoughts, "A Niang, didn't I see that these dishes are delicious? By the way, our family has a new cook?"

Zheng Youniang clapped her hands lightly, and sighed, with a kind of appreciation in her sigh, "This is a new way of cooking, it was created by that talented girl Gu Sanniang."

Jiang Yuanxi let out a light snort, "Was that Gu Sanniang invented it? I never thought she would have such a beautiful heart."

In today's world, whether it is aristocratic families or ordinary people, they all cook by steaming, or roast meat after hunting.

Jiang Yuanxi has been eating steamed dishes for more than ten years, and they are bland and tasteless. In terms of color and aroma, there is actually no difference between the aristocratic family and the common people, only the ingredients used by the two sides are different.

But if you are a dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder, Ruoran is no different from mutton and beef except that it is either steamed or boiled.

However, the dish I ate today has a mellow taste, which is completely opposite to the bland and tasteless taste in the past. Even Jiang Yuanxi, who doesn't have much appetite, is conquered by this dish.

"Yeah, the Gu family held a banquet a few days ago. This new cooking method appeared for the first time. It was very popular at the banquet. Many people licked their faces and asked the owner of the Gu family about this cooking method. The Gu family also introduced it A wok and spatula, along with a few new spices."

Zheng Youniang shook her head, "This time, the Gu family has another golden hen that pays."

Frying pans and spatulas are not difficult to learn. You can go home and learn how to make woks and spatulas by yourself just by looking at the things sold in Gu's shop. The real money is the new spices.

"Cumin, pepper, nutmeg, these spices that can be used in dishes are the golden hens that can lay gold for the Gu family!"

Zheng Youniang asked herself that she had a lot of dowry business, but compared with the Gu family, it was simply shameful.

The few kinds of spices from the Gu family are making a lot of money every day, which makes people jealous.

"What kinds of spices are in the dish we ate just now?" Jiang Yuanxi raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Well, these kinds of spices are really delicious after being added to the dishes. Even A Niang used half a bowl of rice more than usual."

Jiang Yuanxi asked again: "What are the prices of these spices?"

Zheng Youniang said indifferently: "One tael and one gold."

"hiss--"

Jiang Yuanxi's eyes widened and he took a deep breath.

She looked at the plates on the desk, and twitched the corners of her mouth, "Mother, could it be that we ate one gold for that meal just now?"

When the two of them ate together, they cooked five dishes. No matter how little it was, they still needed a tael of spices, right?
"This is my mother's quick action. After the Gu family launched the spices, my mother ordered the three kinds of spices to buy [-] catties each. Now because of the panic buying by the aristocratic families, the spices of the Gu family are now more than one tael of hardware, and the supply is still in short supply."

Zheng Youniang shook her head, and she couldn't help but be thankful for her decisive action at the beginning, if she waited until now to buy it, it would cost five times more gold.

"hiss--"

Jiang Yuanxi gasped again, first because of her mother's decision to buy five hundred gold spices, and then because of the Gu family's spices that were in short supply.

"Crazy. Really crazy, one or two spices and hardware! This is worthy of the name!"

Nearly a thousand gold!

A Niang bought three kinds of spices, [-] catties each, and it cost nearly a thousand gold!

This is equivalent to 1 taels of silver, but this is only sixty catties of spices.

"Your grandfather's side at home, your second grandfather's side in the west mansion, the houses in the east and west mansions, and the old people in the side branch, all these spices are indispensable. The sixty catties bought by my mother are not enough. "

Zheng Youniang sighed anxiously, the Jiang family has a great career, even if they, the juniors, can use spices, but the elders in the clan who are of the same generation as Taifu Jiang, can't afford them. According to the family rules of the family, if it is said that the members of the direct branches use spices in their dishes every day, the old people in the branches have never even heard the names of spices.
Hehe, wait for Jiang Taifu to take charge of the family law himself.

Dare not to show filial piety to the old people, and kneel down to the ancestors!

As the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, Zheng Youniang has already mastered the entire Jiang family's internal affairs without her mother-in-law. Not only the direct branch, but also the side branch needs her to coordinate. She has to ask the side branch every few days Are there any shortages for those old people's expenses, and which houses are missing, they must be made up in time, otherwise, if Jiang Taifu called a few brothers from the side branches to chat and drink tea on a whim, and accidentally learned that the old brothers were neglected, Even if Zheng Youniang was the eldest son and daughter-in-law, scolding would be inevitable.

What's more, in addition to the Jiang family's own expenses, there are also foreign guests. If the Jiang family's banquets do not use these kinds of spices that are popular in the capital, Jiang Taifu's face and the Jiang family's face will not look good.

Zheng Youniang didn't expect the Gu family's spices to be so popular, and she regretted buying less. Now these spices may never return to the price of one tael and one gold.

"This time, the Gu family really slept on the gold."

Jiang Yuanxi couldn't stop talking, the rouge gouache before buying this spice made money, even their Jiang family bought [-] catties of spices, what about other aristocratic families?I'm afraid they won't buy less. The Gu family has made a lot of money by relying on these spices.

"The Gu family is so prominent, aren't they afraid that they will get into trouble?"

Jiang Yuanxi couldn't figure it out, before the rouge and gouache made the Gu family almost doomed, let alone the sale of spices, this was clearly telling the aristocratic family that I am a fat prey, come and eat me.

"The Gu family is backed by big figures, and no one in the capital dares to touch them."

Zheng Youniang said meaningfully, which made Jiang Yuanxi startled, "Who is behind the Gu family?"

"Wesheng Dynasty."
