Chapter 113： long time no drink

Chapter 113 Haven’t had a drink for a long time

"Even if I can take it away, it's not mine. Let's talk about it after he is admitted to Jinshi. Besides, he doesn't take the initiative. If he wants me to take the initiative, there is no way."

"You, men chase women across the mountain, women chase men's layer of gauze, you chase him so easy to chase."

"No, I like him chasing me."

"Do you want me to help you?"

"No, let things take their course."

"Okay, I didn't expect to make money when I came here. It's still early, so I'll send it to Xin'er."

Qiao Mai thought for a while, "If she doesn't want it, take the prescription back. If I don't give away my prescription, neither will the Feng family."

The shopkeeper Lu left, Qiao Mai got off the kang, went to the door and lifted the curtain to check the weather.

Turning back and taking off the coat from the hanger, "You two take care of Linger."

"Yes, master"

She first went to the ten greenhouses at the back to have a look. There were five women in charge here, and each of them looked at two plots of land.

"Give a charcoal basin in the greenhouse for a while, do as I said, and be alert when you sleep at night. If it snows heavily, sweep the snow off the greenhouse every half an hour."

"Yes, master."

Then she went to the hen house, quail house, stable, deer house, and cowshed. Charcoal basins were set up in each shed, and the poultry houses were very warm.

Finally, she went to the kitchen, took two cooks with her, and fished some sauerkraut from the big vat by the wall.

"Wash these sauerkraut. At noon, everyone will eat dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut. This dish is salty, so there is no need to put salt in the meat stuffing. From now on, the shop assistants and shopkeepers will take turns to come to the kitchen to eat and make some for them. Son."

"Yes, master."

After explaining everything, I went to the shop.

The shopkeeper Niu is keeping accounts, two guys are selling goods, and three guys in the backyard are roasting seeds and nuts.

Seeing his boss coming, he hurriedly saluted Qiao Mai.

"Master, you are here"

"Well, how are the goods selling when it's cold?"

"Roasted seeds and nuts sell well, but the price of roasted seeds and nuts is not high, and there is not much profit. The pancakes sell well. It is cold, and the fruit can't be sold for a while, but there are some people who buy them. Candied haws sell the best, so I asked the staff to sell them every day. Made one more pot."

"From tomorrow onwards, every day you ask your buddy to put a jar of sauerkraut in a jar by the wall of the courtyard on the west side of your home and sell it at fifty cents a catty,"

"Sauer cabbage?"

"Yes, tell the diners that this can be eaten raw, or made into dumplings, and it can be stored with pork bones for a special fragrance."

"Oh, by the way, the pickles in the southeast can also be eaten, and each of them can be packed in a jar every day, and it can be sold at the same price as sauerkraut by the catty."

"As for pickles, I don't make much this year, so I won't sell them."

"Hey, master, the pickles you made are really delicious, but after dinner, the more you eat, the more delicious it will be."

"I just need to make more next year. In a few days, the fresh vegetables in the field can be sold."

"It would be great."

"How is the boiled goods selling?"

"It's okay, the main reason is that it's cold, and there are fewer people walking around."

"Buy some coarse cloth, ask someone to make some thick curtains, and wrap around the outdoor tables and chairs, leaving a place for the shop door in the middle, remember to make it beautiful, so it doesn't look ugly."

"Doesn't this affect business?"

"It doesn't matter, they are all regular customers. It is also good to let the merchants walking back and forth rest their feet and drink some free hot tea."

Speaking of hot tea, she thought of something delicious.

"Go find me a small pot, clean it and put it on a charcoal basin, then find half a bowl of sugar, half a bowl of tea, and then have someone bring a half bucket of milk at home."

"Yes, master."

Not long after, all the materials she wanted were ready, she put the pot on the charcoal basin, grabbed two handfuls of sugar and stir-fried in it, after the sugar melted, grabbed a pinch of tea leaves and continued to stir-fry until the sugar turned into Caramel color, then pour fresh milk into it to boil, and then use a strainer to remove the tea leaves.

The charcoal basin was gone, and she took out a bowl of milk tea with a spoon.

I took a sip, "Wow, it's been a long time since I drank it, and it still tastes so good. I can never tire of drinking it."

The people in the room swallowed when they heard her say this.

She said to everyone, "Everyone here today has a share, come, one bowl for each person, take it out yourself"

She drank while holding the bowl, they quickly took the bowl, took out the milk tea and drank it.

"Wow, it's really delicious. I didn't expect the combination of milk and tea to be so delicious."

Qiao Mai glanced at the man who had been staring at her operation before, "Have you learned it?"

"Yes."

"From now on, I will leave this milk tea to you to cook. A bowl is 50 Wen, and I will cook 50 bowls a day. Is there too much?"

"Yes, master. Hey, once you come, we can add a few good things here."

"From today onwards, the price of each egg will increase, and the price of quail eggs will also increase. The cost of feeding these poultry will increase in winter."

"Yes, master"

"Well, I don't have anything to explain. You look at the products yourself. Sauerkraut can be made into a finished product by the kitchen for diners to taste. After all, it is a new ingredient. If you want everyone to accept it, you have to let people taste the sweetness."

After Qiao Mai finished speaking, he left the shop. At noon, the whole family gathered in Mr. Wang's room and ate a warm meal of dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut.

I have to say that this kind of dumplings has conquered everyone.

Old lady, the old man praised while eating, served with pickled green and green Laba garlic, each person ate a large bowl, and said that he would have a good meal in two days.

Since the two of them lived in Qiao's house, they haven't been tired of eating. The food in Qiao's house is too suitable for their taste.

Even if you drink a bowl of ordinary porridge in the morning and a few plates of small pickles, it is so delicious. After eating, go to the vegetable field in the back garden and take a stroll with the poultry. This small life is not to mention how comfortable it is.

When they encounter a big market in the town, they will take people out to have a look, and they will buy some new items when they encounter them.

Life is not boring at all, it feels fresh every day.

The night had just fallen, and there were snowflakes in the sky. It was not that big, but it didn't take long for the wind to pick up.

Qiao Mai was worried about the greenhouse, so she wrapped herself up tightly and went to have a look.

The greenhouse is tightly tied, and the straw curtains are thickly woven, hanging from the top to the bottom. The mother-in-law pressed it firmly with stones, wrapping the entire greenhouse tightly.

Qiao Mai kept the mother-in-law's care in mind, and checked all ten greenhouses before she was relieved.

Just about to leave, a few women came over.

They came here with mats and quilts rolled up. They planned to sleep in the warm tent at night, but Qiao Mai didn't stop them.

After giving instructions, she went back.

Linger was sleeping on the kang, snoring, the room was really warm, her little face was red and puffy and chubby.

One year and nine months old, she can already run and squat down to urinate by herself.

She has her own small wardrobe, shoe cabinet, toy cabinet, and food cabinet, all of which are full.

Clothes, shoes, Qiao Mai will make several for her every season.

Not to mention this, she often goes to Fucheng to "buy goods". When she arrives at a clothing store, she can't help but buy new clothes when she sees new clothes.

Linger's clothes filled up the wardrobe, and I bought another wardrobe.

When she was free, she would do all kinds of braids for her, which she learned online.

Yuehong Yuexia followed Zhanguang and learned a lot.

Qiao Mai asked people to clean up a large room in the east wing, planning to let Linger move there after the New Year's Eve, after her second birthday.

Of course, Yuehong and Yuexia were with her, Linger was inside, and the two of them slept in the outer room, so if there was any movement, they could go and check.

Linger is also very obedient, following Yuehong and Yuexia are also very obedient, rarely hear her cry.

Laughs first when seeing anyone, such a baby is especially popular.

Old lady likes to let Yuehong and Yuexia carry her to play with her when she is free, and sometimes gives Linger a lot of jade ornaments for her to play with.

The beads on the head, the collar on the neck, and the small bracelet on the hand are all gifts from the old lady.
