Chapter 424 Vigorous

Liaodong Restaurant

On this day, the restaurant launched a pot, a mandarin duck pot with butter and mushroom soup.

The first and second floors were full of people and the place was buzzing with people.

In the private room on the second floor, Xue Xu and Ji Wuyin did not let servants wait on them, and they enjoyed themselves around the pot.

Ji Wuyin grabbed the last piece of duck blood and ate it happily.

Xue Xu had no choice but to take a chopstick of mutton roll, dip it in sesame sauce and other dipping ingredients, and put it into his mouth.

"It turns out that Mr. Lu and his family ate pot yesterday." Ji Wuyin sighed.

Xue Xu concentrated on cooking and was too lazy to talk.

Whenever Mrs. Qin Liu wanted to eat new dishes, Master Chen would take a few things and go to the governor's mansion to try out the new dishes.If Mrs. Qin Liu is satisfied with her meal, Liaodong Restaurant will launch new dishes the next day.

This has become a tacit secret.

After half an hour, the two of them were almost full.

In the middle of winter, eating this pot will make you sweat.

The waiter and others took away the pots they had finished eating.

After finishing the pot, the two of them had a bowl of soup with green bean sprouts to relieve their tiredness.

Ji Wuyin felt warm and comfortable in his stomach, "You guys from Liaodong County are awesome."

He was very satisfied that he could still eat these tender green bean sprouts in the middle of winter.

Winter vegetables are more expensive than meat.He used to live in the south, where he could eat green vegetables in winter.However, they use a hot spring village and don’t grow many types of vegetables.

As for ordinary people, they can still plant some cold-resistant vegetables in early winter, but they have to be careful and cover them with a layer of straw at night to prevent frost.After the severe cold, vegetables will no longer be able to survive in the fields.

As for Liaodong County, not only the glass greenhouse ordered by the government to be built, but also the vegetables inside have entered the harvest period.They have already explored the market, and cartloads of green vegetables are shipped to Youzhou in the west and sold to the rich people in Youbeiping County. I heard that the sales are very good.

In addition, in Liaodong County and even in Pingzhou, ordinary people can plant some vegetables in pots in their houses after setting up a kang.

This is remarkable, it truly benefits the people.Although ordinary people cannot grow a variety of vegetables, it is enough for them to occasionally eat a few meals of green leafy vegetables in winter.

This is the most blissful thing.

There was laughter and laughter downstairs. The two opened the window and looked down. They could see the chef of Liaodong Restaurant teaching how to make steamed fish with black bean sauce. Many people were watching with smiles.

On the tenth day of each month, Liaodong Restaurant will also demonstrate how to make a home-cooked dish at the door.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and delicious food can improve people's happiness.

Perhaps now there is not much food for ordinary people to eat, it is not easy to eat enough, and they cannot eat meat often.

But the chefs at Liaodong Restaurant will cook with ingredients available to the common people. Anyone who is willing to learn can come and visit.

The reason why I chose this dish today is because most people have salted fish at home.

Three counties in Liaodong County are close to the sea. In autumn, the government officials organized people to go fishing at the beach.

After a large amount of fish was caught, part of it was transported to various counties and put into the market. During that time, ordinary people could often buy cheap fish meat, but most of it was dried into salted fish.

In fact, it is not that there are no fishermen in several counties near the sea who dry fish, but they are reluctant to part with salt. The dried fish is prone to insects and naturally does not last long.

This time when the government took action, they naturally didn't have that level of worry.

Ji Wuyin sighed, "Liaodong County is really the place where I have seen the most smiles on the faces of the people."

He has traveled to many places, but Liaodong County alone gave him a feeling of vitality. The people here are full of hope for the future.

Xue Xu smiled and said, "Isn't this normal? You haven't seen how much effort Mrs. Qin Liu and everyone have put into this land."

If Lord Lu had not been in power in Liaodong County, the people would have been in dire straits long ago.The high food prices alone are enough to make many people unable to live.

Ji Wuyin thought about it and realized that it was indeed how much food Lu Songli had brought back from other places that allowed the people here to live and work in peace and contentment.

This night, many people made steamed salted fish with black bean sauce.

The same goes for the Yue family in Xianning Village.

The Yue family and several friends who were friends with the victims who went north together were assigned to Xianning Village by drawing lots.

Xianning Village is located in the southeast of Houcheng, not far from Houcheng. It is a very good place.

Yue Shu's wife Zhou told her son while cooking, "Go to the house and pick two green onions."

The chef of Liaodong Restaurant said that the salted fish should be given more ginger so that it does not smell fishy.

This is not the first time their family has made salted fish, but it is the first time they have put so many seasonings into it.

Before winter begins, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Grain and Oil Store supplies a batch of salted fish, and each household can purchase up to ten kilograms of dried salted fish.

They also bought ten kilograms.Everyone went crazy because it was not only meat, but also because it was cured with a lot of salt and dried in the sun.

"I'll go." Aunt Yue said as she was lighting the fire. It's not easy to raise several pots of vegetables, but don't let the children destroy them.

Not long after, Aunt Yue took two washed green onions into the kitchen and continued to light the fire.

After plucking the green onions, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law inevitably talked about the pots of vegetables raised in the house.

In the past, when winter came, they had no green leafy vegetables to eat. They only ate pickled vegetables and dried vegetables. That's all, they couldn't eat them openly.

Now they can not only grow bean sprouts, but also get a wooden pot in the house to plant some leek, garlic, and green onion seedlings.

People in the government said that this was because they had a kang in their house and it was warm so that the leek and garlic seedlings could survive.

The other party also told them that if the weather was good and the sun came out, they would move the vegetable seedlings in the wooden pots out to bask in the sun.

Although it was a bit of a hassle to move around, they were more than happy to do so.

"Why do you think people in the government know everything?" Aunt Yue sighed.

Mrs. Zhou smiled and replied, "Mom, I heard my husband say that there are many capable people in the government."

When the meal was served, the entire Yue family gathered around the table.

For dinner, they cooked three dishes, one steamed fish with black bean sauce, one stir-fried bean sprouts, and one seaweed and egg drop soup.

Days like this were unthinkable before.

"We are eating fish tonight, but I wonder what your father will eat?" Aunt Yue and her grandson Yue Jie muttered.

While serving rice to the elders, Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "Mom, you don't have to worry about him. Didn't the child's father say that last time he came back? It's hard for them to train hard, but the food is very good."

Yue Shu applied for the army when he was recruiting troops in Liaodong County. In fact, not only his Yue family, but almost all families who came from the south, and those who could spare young men, applied for the army.Some people were selected and some were not.

Their family Yue Shu was selected. Last time I came back, I heard from him that he was already a centurion.

Old Man Yue took the meal from his eldest daughter-in-law and said, "Second brother, you will apply for the militia next year."

Yue Peng, who was named, nodded. It wasn't that he couldn't apply, but that his family had to have a strong labor force. Next year, the family would have to open up several acres of wasteland. His father, mother, sister-in-law, and his wife alone couldn't do it.

At this time, nine-year-old Yue Jie answered, "Grandpa, when I grow up, I will join the army like my father."

"Okay, but before you join the army, you have to go to school."

"Ok."
