The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 154 Sauerkraut enters Beijing (2)
After all, the two brothers and sisters looked at each other and laughed out loud.

The regular customers were used to this, and they paid their bills and left.

But after a while, Buwu and Buliu came together, called the shopkeeper Second Brother, and then knocked on the heads of the younger siblings who had already buried their heads in eating buns.

When it was snowing heavily in the capital, Kangxi Town in Huizhou had fine weather.

On the farm in the ancient mansion, six pigs were slaughtered today, and there are still five big fat pigs left in the pig house.The men are busy chopping and deboning the meat, cleaning the pigs' heads and feet, and cleaning the giblets and intestines.The women are all busy in the kitchen, chopping chopped green onions, shredded sauerkraut, shredded radish, washed and sliced ​​cabbage, and refining oil in a large pot over low heat...

With her two maids, Qingshu first went to the vegetable cellar to look at the cabbage and radishes that had been stored, and then looked at the [-] jars of sauerkraut that had been marinated, wondering if it was the same price as the bean sprouts, or To sell higher.

Be it bean sprouts or sauerkraut, this is the first year they are on the market, so it is understandable that they are more expensive, because they target the rich.Next winter, the price will definitely drop a bit. Although some people will learn how to make it, but her mouth is strict, and the correct method cannot be spread, and the taste may not be right. She can still maintain high profits for a year.As for the future, she wants sauerkraut to become a must-have dish for ordinary people in the modern day, and she will no longer rely on it to make money.

As soon as Qingshu walked out of the room where the sauerkraut tank was kept, Guanshi Wu came over and said that someone came from the front, claiming to be sent by Mr. Yan, and went to the mansion first, and then found it here after the housekeeper pointed out that he wanted to see her .

Qingshu thought of the nobile and gold buds entrusted to Zhou Boyan's Zhenbao Pavilion, and hurriedly went to the front to meet the guests.

Zhou Dachang, a thin man in his late forties, was not dressed luxuriously, but the material of his clothes was dark silk.He said that he came to Kangxi Town under the order of Mr. Yan, firstly to bring New Year gifts to the ancient mansion, secondly to bring the cook over to learn how to cook with sauerkraut from the ancient mansion cook, and thirdly to take the sauerkraut away.Explaining his purpose, he handed over a letter.

Qingshu's eyes lit up at that moment, Zhou Boyan didn't forget to ask for sauerkraut, it's really disgusting.When Xiaojuan accepted the letter and handed it over, she tore open the sealed envelope angrily, pulled out the letter inside, shook it open, and raised her eyebrows.It turned out that there was a silver note of 2000 taels in the letter.

Qing Shu admits that she is very money addicted. The 2000 taels of silver bill quickly extinguished more than half of the fire in her eyes, and said in her heart: You are wise.

She took the bank note away and read the contents of the letter.I saw that it was written in flying and phoenix fonts, please ask her to accept the silver ticket, and teach the chef Zhou sent by him how to cook with sauerkraut.Also, he asked her to give him at least half of the sauerkraut so that his people could be brought back to the capital, he would be very grateful.As for the things she entrusted, the masters are still correcting, let her wait for a while.

After reading the contents of the letter, thinking that the words were sincere, Qing Shu decided not to make things difficult for Yin Zi, so she accepted the matter and asked Zhou Dachang and Chef Zhou to stay and have a pig-killing feast at Zhuangzi at noon.

Xu Sanniang was also transferred to Zhuangzi today because of the need to prepare pig blood.After the pig's blood is prepared, the women will be directed by Xu Sanniang to fill the blood sausage.After filling the blood sausage, two-thirds were frozen and the remaining third was assigned to two people to cook, occupying a large pot.

In a large pot next to it, two large pig heads that had been cut in half had already been boiled, and when they were cooked, they were taken out, sorghum rice was added to the soup, and porridge was cooked.

There is another large pot, in which meat bones are boiled. When the meat bones are half-cooked, the chopped sauerkraut can be placed.

By noon, everything was almost ready, except for cooking.

So, a table was set up for Zhou Dachang and Chef Zhou at the front, and steward Wu would sit with him later.

There is also a table in the small courtyard that Qing Shu usually uses when he comes here.Here, she wants to eat with her maid.

Pork liver with seasoning, shredded and seasoned pig ears, fried pork lungs and tongue, stewed sauerkraut with meat bones, fried sauerkraut with sliced ​​meat, thinly sliced ​​and fried pig blood sausages on the table, Wu The steward greeted Zhou Dachang and Chef Zhou to the table, ordered them to pour wine, and kept talking without saying a word while drinking and eating.

Seeing that these two were very keen on sauerkraut, Wu Guanshi only ate sauerkraut, but did not eat the meat in sauerkraut, so he thought of what Qing Shu said, and said with a smile: "What do you two think of this dish?"

Zhou Dachang smiled and replied, "Nothing to say, I have traveled all over the world and traveled to many places, this is the first time I have eaten such a dish, it is delicious."

Chef Zhou also echoed, "The taste is nothing to say, this dish is more popular than the big fish and meat in rich families."

Manager Wu smiled and said, "That's a good point. The masters of wealthy families are used to eating big fish and meat, especially during the Spring Festival, they eat greasy big fish and meat every day, so they must really want to eat greasy dishes. But , this season, and there are not many edible vegetables, the cooks must have a terrible headache."

Chef Zhou nodded in agreement, and then asked what was the particularly greasy and appetizing dish on the table.

Manager Wu was waiting for them to ask, "This is sauerkraut."

Zhou Dachang paused as he picked up the vegetables, and quickly said with a happy expression: "Haha... we two brothers are blessed today, the sauerkraut that you have never eaten, it is cheaper for us two brothers."

Chef Zhou's eyes glistened, and his eyes were glued to the sauerkraut, and he muttered: "So this is sauerkraut, so... As expected... Sour and tasty... Good food, good food..."

After the table was full, Chef Zhou urged Steward Wu to quickly arrange for the cook to teach him how to make sauerkraut. Zhou Dachang shook his head and laughed at him for his impatience.

Manager Wu smiled and made arrangements for him to come to the ancient mansion before noon tomorrow, when the kitchen in the mansion would arrange everything and teach him.

Once the matter was settled, Zhou Dachang and Chef Zhou left and went back to the inn where they stayed in the town.

Qing Shu didn't drink alcohol, she finished her lunch earlier than them, and even pulled a cart full of pork and odds and ends more than a quarter of an hour earlier than them.

Back in the mansion, set up two large vats in the courtyard out of the sun's rays, put the meat of four pigs in them, cover them, and press them down with heavy objects.A large vat of sauerkraut was pulled into the utility room next to the kitchen, a pot of stewed sauerkraut with meat and bones, and two pig blood sausages were moved into the kitchen.

Xu Sanniang washed her hands, quickly lit a fire, poured sauerkraut stewed with meat and bones into the pot to heat up, put two blood sausages on the drawer and steamed them, and took [-] each of white flour steamed buns and red bean paste buns that had been steamed and frozen yesterday. Put it on the drawer to steam.

Because Qing Shu had made a confession before leaving, no one in the mansion was really hungry, and they all ate some pastries to fill their stomachs.

As soon as Qingshu came back, Qingyang ran over and asked her if she had brought back blood sausage.
