The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 155 Miss Aqin (1)
Qing Shu pinched his nose, "I've brought it, I've brought it, I'll serve it to you when it's hot."

Qingyang said happily that he would eat with Mr. Lu.

Qing Shu said yes.When their siblings entered the hall and sat down, Gu Qiang handed over a gift list, saying that it was the gift list of the New Year gift from Mr. Yan.

Qing Shu opened the gift list and glanced casually, two pieces of brocade and two pieces of satin, dark blue and deep purple, suitable for men.A set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.Yipinxuan has forty boxes of dim sum.Two catties of famous tea Yunwu.One hundred catties each of white flour, white rice, glutinous rice, and yellow rice.One hundred catties of mountain products, including sun-dried mushrooms, black fungus, wild vegetables, four live wild rabbits, and eight live pheasants.

Qingshu closed the gift list, "Housekeeper, how should we arrange the gift in return?"

Gu Qiang cleared his throat, "Miss, Mr. Yan said that you don't need much in return, as long as you have eight catties of fruit wine." He finished speaking quickly, and quickly stood with his eyes open.

Hearing this, Qing Shu couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, and cursed secretly.But then again, Zhou Boyan brought a lot of kelp and dried fish to the ancient mansion when he came back from the south some time ago, and now that there is this annual gift, it stands to reason that their ancient mansion should return the gift well.However, Zhou Boyan didn't lack anything, and nothing they gave was enough.She glanced at Qing Yang who was sitting beside her, bowing his head and saying nothing, "Okay, give him eight catties of fruit wine, and treat it as an annual gift from the ancient mansion."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Qiang was obviously relieved.As for Qingyang, although he didn't raise his head, he still kept his head down, but the way he unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth made Qingshu look straight.

Qing Shu thought it was funny, but didn't say anything, and told Gu Qiang, "Ask Zhou Dachang when he will return to Beijing, and let him bring back the New Year gift! We don't have to send someone to go here."

Gu Qiang agreed and withdrew.

Not long after, the little fish came to pass word that the meal was ready.

Qingshu asked Qingyang to go to the front to have dinner with Mr. Lu, and went back to the yard by himself.She swayed on the kang for a while, then sat up suddenly.No, sauerkraut can't come into people's sight one by one, and she still needs to keep it secret, so she has to cut it, all of it.But, cut it off, how can Zhou Dachang be transported back to the capital?
She stood up, walked back and forth on the ground, and suddenly clapped her hands, and there was.The shredded sauerkraut can be frozen in balls, and then packed into large tanks, wooden boxes or barrels, loaded into a car and taken all the way back to Beijing.When they arrive in the capital, let them be kept outside or in a cold room to continue freezing.Every day, you can estimate the approximate amount of cooking for the next day, and then take sauerkraut balls according to the amount, and thaw them in a warm room one night in advance.

Qingshu called Xiaojuan.Xiao Juan and Xiao Yu, who were sitting outside doing needlework, entered at the same time.

Qingshu then arranged for Xiaojuan to find the housekeeper, and asked the housekeeper to quickly confirm that no one in the house, male or female, could chop vegetables.Also, quickly send someone to the snack shop and recall all the people in the shop who can chop vegetables.She also asked Xiaoyu to go to Wenlan Courtyard to ask how Ding Jiamei's vegetable cutting skills are.

As a result, the people in the mansion became agitated.The snack shop received the news, except for the shopkeeper Gu Yuanhe who couldn't cut vegetables, Wei Tiehammer who was in charge of the bean sprouts window, Wu Xiaoshan and Ning Si, the other four people hurried back to the house.

The number of people with fairly good knife skills was counted.Mu Cong, Chen Huzi and his wife, Kang Shuanzhu, Xu Sanniang, Xu Wuniang, Xiaojuan, Xiaoyu, Su Mama and Ding Jiamei were ten people.Xu Wuniang's needlework is also very important, and it is also a major income for the mansion, so Qing Shu asked Xu Wuniang to go back.In this way, there are nine people left.

As soon as Ding Jiabao, who was sent out to buy kitchen knives, came back, Qingshu gave an order, and each of the nine people who knew how to chop vegetables took a kitchen knife, cleaning their own kitchen knives and the improvised cutting board.Ding Jiabao and Gu Yuanbao were in charge of peeling the sauerkraut one by one. The outermost layer of sauerkraut was peeled and put in the first pot, the inner part was peeled and put in the second pot, and the middle cabbage core was put in the third pot. inside.

As soon as the sauerkraut head was peeled over there, the nine people here began to chop the vegetables. The shredded sauerkraut was also divided into three places according to the way Ding Jiabao and the others distributed them.There are 37 wooden barrels in the mansion, which are enough.These 37 wooden barrels were obtained when Zhang's old boss personally begged to come to the shop when he bought the shop, so Qing Shu changed his mind and got the stock from Zhang's old shop.

The wooden barrels on Zhuangzi are probably not enough, there are only five or six in total.So Li Dalang drove the cart, went out with Gu Qiang to buy twenty wooden barrels, and went straight to Zhuangzi.

The people who had been busy all morning in the Zhuangzi had already rested. As soon as Gu Qiang came, they knew that they had to hurry up and cut the sauerkraut.Manager Wu quickly recruited people to ask who could chop vegetables and who was good at knives.

In the end, there were only five people here.Apart from the old man and the two women who usually worked in the kitchen, the only males were Kang Shuanzi and Zhang Da.The burly burly man Zhang Dahui chopped vegetables, which immediately attracted countless suspicious looks.

Gu Qiang explained Qingshu's request in detail, and asked Guanshi Wu to repeat it on the spot. After making sure Wu Guanshi remembered it, he hurriedly used twenty wooden barrels to fill the vat with sauerkraut.Seeing that it was difficult to pull a cart, Wu Guanshi hurriedly let Cai Tieniu put it on the cart, so the twenty wooden barrels of sauerkraut were placed on the two carts, covered with oilcloth, fastened tightly, and then pulled the sauerkraut back to the town. .

When the two trolleys took the second trip, they loaded 34 empty wooden barrels from the mansion, and when they came back, they carried [-] wooden barrels full of sauerkraut, and left the remaining [-] empty wooden barrels to Zhuangzi. superior.

After working for a day and a half, the shredded sauerkraut was in balls, filling fifty wooden barrels, all of which were frozen.Fourteen of Qingshu's sauerkraut jars were emptied.

Zhou Dachang and Chef Zhou looked at the fifty wooden barrels of sauerkraut loaded into the truck, feeling satisfied in their hearts.Gu Qiang told them that the one marked on the wooden barrel is the sauerkraut core, which is the tenderest part, suitable for stir-frying and stewing, and is the best part; the one marked on the wooden barrel is the most suitable for stewing; The ones marked with three are inferior in taste to the first two. They are suitable for stuffing with a lot of oil and meat. Of course, stews are also good, but the stewing time is longer, and the taste is slightly worse than the first two.

Zhou Dachang and Chef Zhou rushed back to Beijing with the caravan with three carts of sauerkraut and eight small jars of fruit wine.The two parties have already made an appointment, half a month later, Zhou Boyan has a caravan returning from the south, will turn to Kangxi Town, and bring the second batch of sauerkraut from the ancient mansion back to Beijing.

December 23, the small year in traditional festivals.The flavor snack shop in Kangxi Town has added new dishes, skin jelly and vegetarian meatballs.Yipinlou in Jinyang City has also added new dishes, skin jelly and Sixi meatballs.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the taste of the New Year is fuller.The market in Kangxi Town no longer follows the convention of having a market on the second, fifth, and eighth of each month. It is basically a market every day, and the town has fallen into an unprecedented bustle.
