Chapter 197： The ancients were even worse

Chapter 197 Ancient people are even worse

"Our surname is Meng, and we live in Mengjia Village in Huaiyuan County. In the future, if you want to eat fish, you will come to us, so you don't have to pay such a high price."

"Haha, then I thank you in advance."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and they arched their hands at each other, and Qiao Mai drove the carriage away.

After Qiao Mai walked away, he asked passers-by that this was Huaiyuan County, a place called Yancheng, which belonged to the southeast of the Ming Dynasty.

Salt and fish are produced here. In the backward ancient times, these industrious southerners have tried their best to make a living, and began to dry fish and dried sea rice for sale.

She is not in a hurry to go home, and buys some fresh dried fish when she encounters them along the way, and also buys some dried salted sea fish.

Kelp, sea rice, sea beard, conch jerky, etc. will be bought.

Her money is too much to touch, so it should be used for the benefit of the people in the south.

I can’t eat it at home, so I sell it in shops, and there are things that can be stored on the left and right.

So, her journey was like a devil entering a village, she swept away all the good things, and the open space in front of her house in the space was full of boxes of seafood.

Xiaoqing looks like he has a big head. The owner doesn’t eat the ones raised by the space itself, but it’s quite fun to eat other people’s.

"Master, it's not short time to come out."

"A few days?"

"Five days"

"Oh, I had so much fun,"

She hastily put the carriage into the space, rode on Dongzao during the day, and flew with her wings at night.

Soon, one dark night, she drove the carriage back to Tianshui Town, opened the gate, and once she entered Qiao's house in Jixiangyuan, there was a lot of excitement.

As soon as they heard that she was back, no one was in the mood to sleep. They went out for a few days, so what's new?

One by one was so curious that when they saw Qiao Mai driving a five- to six-hundred-jin fish off the car, they all opened their mouths.

Looking in shock, it was the first time in his life.

Fortunately, it was winter in Tianshui Town, so she didn't let anyone into the house, so the fish were placed side by side on the table, and the others were all stacked on the ground in boxes of boxes.

Qiao Mai was unloading the goods on the carriage by himself, and the people below followed suit. Mr. Wang stroked his beard and watched like this. Everyone was happy like a fool, but he was sober.

Which car can hold so many things? It's just a group of fools like Mengmeng.

However, the old man was very happy to see so many fish and shrimps. He pouted, and it seemed that there was another appetizer for tomorrow.

At night, after everyone unloaded the goods, Qiao Mai let them all rest, and didn't let the cook cook for him.

The servants were sent away, but my own family was not. They were all in Qiao Mai’s yard, looking at the sea goods like a hill.

"My lady, what do you want to eat, I'll make it for you?"

Yuan Jiaqi said embarrassedly that he knew his cooking skills, so he could fill his stomach.

"No, I'll do it myself, so what, you don't go to sleep?"

"We'll leave after you have eaten."

"That's fine, then you guys go to the living room to make it, and I'll get a bowl of noodles."

"What noodles? I want to eat too."

Smelling the smell of sea fish, everyone suddenly felt hungry, and Qiao Mai knew that he had hooked their gluttons.

So I came to a box, found a big pot, picked out half a pot of shrimp, and went to the kitchen.

First boil the water, then clean the shrimp and blanch them with boiling water.

Then boil another pot of water, take out a lot of instant noodles from the space, and prepare to make a bowl of luxurious noodles for everyone.

Yuehong and Yuexia were waiting at the door of the kitchen. They knew that the master was cooking, and they were not used to having someone around.

Those sitting in the living room were quite embarrassed. Originally, Qiao Mai was tired after rushing all the way back, so they didn't realize it, so they had to wait for supper.

Everyone wants to leave, but doesn't want to leave, not to mention how funny and cute.

It didn’t take long for the noodles to be ready. Qiao Mai was served in a large bowl. In one bowl, there were three prawns, a few slices of ham, half an egg, and a few emerald green leaves for decoration. It looked very appetizing.

Yuehong and the two went to the living room, and Qiao Mai finally brought his own into the room, and saw that everyone was eager to eat.

She sat down and ate without humming, the room was filled with the sound of sucking noodles.

Some people ate while drinking soup.

On the one hand, this thing is never tired of eating, especially the modernized earth, which makes this thing tricky.

There are ramen instant noodles, hand-cooked instant noodles, mixed noodles, etc., and there are various tastes. No one can resist such noodles.

The ancients were even worse, and their resistance was even worse.

Linger was still sleeping, so she didn't eat it, but Qiao Mai never wronged her, and usually cooked it for her.

It is the first time for others.

It’s delicious to eat all of them, especially the old man, who is worthless, eating his own and looking at other people’s bowls.

"Girl, are there any more?"

"You always want to eat?"

"I'll just ask" the old man felt a little embarrassed.

"If you want to eat, I'll make it for you tomorrow. Eating too much at night is bad for your health."

"Then it's decided, I'll eat this for the morning meal tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll add some other seafood for you."

"By the way, your big fish?"

"I invite you to eat it at noon tomorrow, and I will fry a piece for you to taste first in the morning."

"hey-hey"

Everyone laughed, guarding a capable person like Qiao Mai, it would be difficult for him to remain a foodie.

Even Yuan Jiaqi, who loves reading, drools when talking about Qiao Mai's cooking skills.

The next day, everyone was thinking about instant noodles, and came to Qiao Mai's courtyard early. Yuehong made tea for them in the living room, afraid that they would be bored.

Everyone knows that Qiao Mai is tired, so no one disturbs her sleep, and none of them leave with a growling stomach.

Qiao Mai got up and laughed when he saw this scene, and went to the kitchen in weird pajamas and slippers.

The old lady followed her to the kitchen, "What are you wearing?"

"pajamas"

"It looks weird"

"But it's comfortable."

"Is it just for sleeping?"

"Um,"

"Give me two sets for the old man? I also want the one you wear on your feet."

"Okay, I will give you two sets during the Chinese New Year, as a New Year's gift, but I can't do it now, I have to go out and contact him."

Early in the morning, Qiao Mai cooked a seafood feast for everyone.

Steamed yellow croaker, braised octopus, pan-fried tuna slices, steamed oysters with garlic, braised prawns in oil, sea crabs with garlic, each served in a big pot.

The old man prepared the wine early, and as soon as the seafood was served, he called everyone to start eating.

There was a bowl of deluxe instant noodles in front of everyone, and now even Linger had a share.

Yuehong and Yuexia take turns eating with Linger in their arms, and they also have a share of these seafood, all of which are credited to serving Linger.

After breakfast, the old man was satisfied and took the children to class.

The old lady went to feed her poultry contentedly, Linger put her arms around Qiao Mai's neck and snuggled into her arms.

"Mother, after the new year I will be four years old"

"Well, what do you want to say?"

"I want to read and write with my brothers, okay?"

Qiao Mai sighed. Women in ancient times were educated but could not take scientific examinations. Besides, the textbooks they are learning now are not something Linger can learn. It is not appropriate for the old man to teach this girl from scratch.

It seems that after the Chinese New Year, I still have to find a husband for my daughter.

"Girl, your age is just the right time to play, mother allows you to play until you are five years old, when the time comes, I will find you a female husband and teach you well, okay?"

Ling'er shook her head, "No, my brothers are all studying, but only my daughter is playing. It's too shameful."

Qiao Mai kissed the baby girl, "Then after the Chinese New Year, I will invite you to come, okay?"

Linger nodded obediently, and Qiao Mai asked her again.

"Just want to read and write, don't you want to practice martial arts?"

Linger shook her head again, "Linger is too tired to practice martial arts. Linger can't bear the hardship, so she should study."

"Okay, my daughter can learn anything, as long as she likes to learn."

"Hee hee, mother is so kind."

Ling'er hugged Qiao Mai's face and kissed, "Mother is so white, and mother is so fragrant."
