Chapter 35 Fried Mint

Wanqing slowly read the two recipes she was going to sell this time. The first recipe, fish-flavored eggplant, he understood. After writing the first recipe, he couldn't help sighing. It can be done.

Usually, the eggplants in their restaurants are either boiled in water or steamed, then sprinkled with salt, drizzled with oil and mixed well. There are so many chefs, but none of them think of frying this method.

When he heard the name of the second recipe, he couldn't help but paused: "What is this mint?" Why hasn't he heard of it?
Hearing Ouyang Yuanhao's question, Li Wanqing shuddered a little, knowing how powerful her sister is, hmph, mint doesn't understand, and now there is a large area growing by the small river in front of her house, and she is also fishing for shrimps I saw it by accident.

But the riverside is a public place after all. After re-signing the contract with Ouyang Yuanhao last month, she picked a few plants and planted them behind the house. Now the villagers don’t know that this thin tea can be eaten, and she can earn some money .

"Master Ouyang, I picked some, and you can see them later when I teach the chefs how to make these two dishes." She went to the small river this morning to pick a small handful of mint leaves and brought them with her. Here comes.

Hearing Li Wanqing's words, Ouyang Yuanhao stopped asking questions and concentrated on writing the recipes. When both recipes were finished, he couldn't help frowning: "Why are they all vegetarian dishes?"

"Young Master Ouyang, this dish is a combination of meat and vegetables, so it is healthy. Next time I will say two meat dishes. For all the diners, not only have I never eaten it, but I have never even heard of it." Li Wanqing looked mysterious .

"I hope it's true as you said, so I don't need to talk so much. Let me make these two dishes first."

"Yes." After answering, Li Wanqing walked out of the study door. She has been to Huayuanju so many times. Li Wanqing is also very familiar with this. Ji Fang, let him take her in, she didn't expect to be charged with stealing recipes.

The two recipes that Li Wanqing sold today were not very troublesome. Soon, under Li Wanqing's guidance, the chef prepared the two dishes and brought them into the study for Boss Ouyang to pay for.

"This is fried mint?" Ouyang Yuanhao asked looking at another dish on the tray that was wrapped in flour and green leaves?The flour that has been fried into golden yellow is wrapped with green mint leaves. It looks very attractive, and there are bursts of green aroma, which makes people feel refreshed.

"Yes, this mint is a good thing. It is the most effective for colds and stuffy nose." Li Wanqing nodded.

In the previous life, mint could also be used to cool off the summer heat. I don’t know how many people like it, although it is sold very cheaply, and a big bag costs only two yuan.

Ouyang Yuanhao picked up a chopstick and imported it. Not to mention refreshing and delicious, he couldn't help but take a second bite. The fish-flavored eggplant tasted very good too.

Li Wanqing took the opportunity to introduce Xia Yuxiang Eggplant: "This eggplant is the best meal, with this dish, you can eat two bowls of rice."

Ouyang Yuanhao glanced at Li Wanqing, put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief instead of eating the dishes on the tray.

Seeing Ouyang Yuanhao put down his chopsticks, Li Wanqing's heart suddenly rose. Doesn't this guy like these two dishes?So isn't she busy today?
"Go and call Ji Fang." Ouyang Yuanhao actually ordered Li Wanqing.

"Oh, good." Li Wanqing also obeyed his orders subconsciously, completely forgetting that she is not Ouyang Yuanhao's subordinate, and only thinking about what would she do if Ouyang Yuanhao didn't like today's two dishes?
After calling Ji Fang in, Ouyang Yuanhao ordered Ji Fang to pay Li Wanqing 120 forty taels of silver, and Li Wanqing was overjoyed.

Also cast aside Ouyang Yuanhao's deepness again, like it if he likes it, what kind of deepness does she pretend to make her think he doesn't like it?
Li Wanqing forgot that she was the one who made too much fuss, Ouyang Yuanhao was like this, plus he was the customer and she was the seller, how could the buyer consider the seller's feelings?
Holding 120 four taels of silver and the money for eight large tile pots, I bought eight large tile pots in the town, cut six catties of meat, and divided them into two parts. The three of them wandered back home.

In the evening, Li Wanqing proposed to rebuild the house: "Father, mother, it's almost winter. Our three thatched houses are ventilated on all sides. Now that our family has enough money, why don't we demolish the house and rebuild it?" .”

Li Rulin and Lin Shuirou paused for holding the vegetables: "Didn't you say wait until after the spring?"

"Mother, our previous plan was to earn only 24 taels a month. Now that we have more than 100 taels of silver in our hands, it should be enough to build a house, right?"

"Then build it." Li Rulin made a final decision.

"But seeing that the busy farming season is approaching, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find this man." This is why Lin Shuirou is worried.

"Then let's prepare the bricks, tiles and wood first, and find someone to build them after the busy farming season." Now that the traffic is so backward, it takes a long time just to transport bricks and tiles, and there are no brick kilns and tile kilns in their town. You have to go to Qingshui Town, twenty miles away, to buy the kiln.

"That's it. I'll go buy bricks and tiles tomorrow. Before the busy farming season arrives, I can borrow the ox cart."

"Father, I'll go with you." Unwilling to be silent, Li Muchen took the initiative to take over the work.

"Okay, Xiaochen and Dad will go together." Li Rulin patted his son's head kindly.

The next day, after breakfast, Li Rulin drove the ox cart, took the silver and his son, and went to Qingshui Town to buy bricks.

Lin Shuirou and her daughter stayed at home to pickle the next batch of dried fruit and jam.

After noon, Li Rulin and his son came back with an ox cart full of bricks. When they passed the village entrance, they attracted the attention of the villagers, who asked whether they wanted to build new houses.Li Rulin nodded with a smile and said yes.

The news that Li Rulin's family was going to build a new house reached the ears of Mrs. Deng and Mrs. Gu in the old house. Now Li Ruying was thinking about how to earn more money every day, and didn't pay too much attention to it.

But Mrs. Gu remembered it in her heart, her eyes turned red, and she began to encourage Mrs. Deng to go to Li Rulin's house to ask for money.

"Mother, didn't you agree with your elder brother's family when you separated? They have to give you two taels of pension money every year? Look, now they have money to build a house, and your pension money hasn't been sent yet. What does this mean? Does it mean that brother and sister-in-law don't have you in their hearts?"

It is said that money touches people's hearts. At this time, Deng and Gu's eyes are only the white money, so they don't remember what Li Changcai said.

After hearing Gu's words, Deng's eyes were burning with anger, and without saying anything, he walked aggressively towards Li Rulin's house.

Seeing that Li Rulin came back with an ox cart full of bricks, and started unloading the bricks without even caring about drinking water, Lin Shuirou and Li Wanqing looked so distressed, put down the half-washed longevity fruit, and started to help unload the bricks, Even Li Muchen was not idle, others couldn't move so much, so they moved piece by piece.

Aunt Fu and the others who came to help wash the longevity fruit also put down the longevity fruit in their hands and helped unload the bricks, but the bricks were only half unloaded when they heard a roar from outside: "Lin Shuirou, you black-hearted You bastard, you have money to build a house, but you don't give the old woman pension money, you are a bastard who is struck by lightning."

Several people in the yard looked at each other in blank dismay. Could it be that Mrs. Deng is jealous of her eldest son again?

Hearing Deng's angry scolding, Li Wanqing rolled her eyes, how long did it last?Again.

Lin Shuirou turned pale, her eyes were red, and she looked at Li Rulin tearfully.

Li Rulin sighed, it seemed that he was going to lose his money again today.

Li Muchen blushed with anger, thinking why his grandma couldn't see his family well?
Knowing that the bricks will not be moved for a while, and Mrs. Deng will come to find trouble, I am afraid that they will not be able to move them, so I should do what I should do.

Li Rulin's family of four also stopped, standing by the bullock cart, waiting for Deng Shi to come in, to see what she wanted to do?
