Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 166

"Why isn't this dish sold in the store?" Jiang Xiaolian asked in a low voice.

"The recipe was sold to Jufulou, so I can only make it privately." Xia Junyan seemed to remember something, and suddenly said, "I can make fish balls and fish cakes." The hot fish ball casserole, next Chinese cabbage and shiitake mushrooms go in, that's a fresh one.

Jiang Xiaolian ate in silence.

The Jiang family is considered a rich farmer in Shouqiao Village. They can eat a meal of meat every ten days, and make a steamer of white flour steamed buns and rice every few days, but the attention to food ends here.The spicy tofu made by shopkeeper Xia has already surprised her, but tofu is a common ingredient and easy to get, but this fish...

Jiang Xiaolian also cooks before, and no restaurant in their town has ever made this fish taste.Although she only started to help in the kitchen today, none of the dishes on the table at this moment tasted like what she had eaten at home or in the town before.This young female shopkeeper can not only adjust the dishes to various fresh flavors, but she can also read the account book, and heard from the tall guy that shopkeeper Xia is not only literate but also good at writing.

In Jiang Xiaolian's impression, only the young lady from a rich family will be taught economics, so that after marrying into her in-law's family, she can also take charge of the family immediately, so that she will not be fooled by the servants in charge of purchasing, and only such young ladies will be taught the way of economics. Teaching literacy and writing and family recipes.But shopkeeper Xia's origin is not a secret in Yun'an County, she came from a village in the countryside.Jiang Xiaolian sighed, the things shopkeeper Xia would teach must have been learned by her own ideas.It's a pity that I couldn't be reborn into a good family, otherwise, with the means of the shopkeeper Xia, it would be more than enough to be the mistress of Zhongfu, which might be called fate.

"Today happens to be the order, remember to close half an hour earlier." Xia Junyan finished her meal, gave Qian Gui and Changsheng an order, and then exchanged Aunt An who was guarding the lobby in front.

Jiang Xiaolian was wondering, but Qian Gui whispered to Changsheng with a bitter face, "Last time I didn't write some words well, how are you doing?"

Changsheng looked smug: "Of course I'm good. My mother said that I will go to enlightenment after the new year. Brother Qiangui, sister Axia said that you are smart, but don't be careful. Be careful about deducting monthly money."

"Writing?" Jiang Xiaolian hesitated, and said softly, "Does the shopkeeper want to teach everyone how to write?"

"Of course!" Facing the newcomer Jiang Xiaolian, Qian Gui immediately put on an old seniority appearance, "Auntie said, you can't be blind. In case you want to buy something in the future, if you don't know how to recognize the words, you have to make a certificate. People have been lied to for nothing, and when the time comes, they will not be able to explain clearly."

"The shopkeeper knows a lot. Is her father a scholar?"

Qian Gui scratched his head, considering Father Xia's virtue, he really didn't dare to apply Aunt Xia's wisdom and prowess to Father Xia, and said: "My aunt's grandfather was a big businessman in the south in the early years, but it's a pity that later The family has fallen. But it’s okay, our aunt learned this skill from his grandfather, and she will definitely be a big shopkeeper in the future."

"It turned out to be a family study." Jiang Xiaolian was extremely impressed.

At this moment in the Chen residence, Mrs. Chen is tasting the mapo tofu that Xia Junyan is quite proud of.

"No wonder those boys said in private that they are about to become rabbits. If they secretly eat this taste and then eat the food in the academy, they will become rabbits." Mrs. Chen smiled, but she was a meal.

Ruizhu served Mrs. Chen after lunch, and then accompanied her to the garden for a walk to digest food.Mrs. Chen asked softly: "Did you make things difficult for others when you went to the restaurant?"

Ruizhu smiled and said: "The maidservant has always kept Madam's words in mind, and has always been polite to Shopkeeper Xia."
