The two master chefs were arranged by Wang Kunfeng, because the most important secret recipe in the workshop is the production of sauce. In order to prevent the secret recipe from being leaked, the person in charge of this link must be his own.

The two masters that Wang Kunfeng found were originally from his water bandit den. They are too old to do fighting and killing, and they have a lot of strength. Make use of the remaining heat and get them to help the workshop. The two old people were not happy at first, thinking that being a pickle master is not as good as being a water bandit. Although they have grandchildren, they also want to earn more for their grandchildren. A family business.

Unexpectedly, after they came here, Bai Chunsheng gave them ten taels of silver a month, which was much more than when they were water bandits before, and there was no danger. Most importantly, shopkeeper Bai had already I promised them that if they do it well, when they are old and can't do it anymore, they can choose a savvy and willing to be a pickle master from among the children in their own family, and pass on this craft.

What is it to leave money for the children?If it is true as Shopkeeper Bai said, if he can leave such a skill of making pickles to the descendants of the family, then he will have something in the future. As long as there is the skill, no one will be starved to death.

Now he settled down in the workshop down-to-earth, and now he has almost mastered the skill of making chili sauce.

What Bai Chunsheng is going to teach them today is the sweet noodle sauce that is going to be sold as a "local specialty".

He has made this kind of sweet noodle sauce with his grandma many times in his previous life, and he has long been familiar with the procedure.The ingredients for making this sauce are also very simple, mainly wheat flour.Knead the flour and water into dough pieces, do not ferment, directly make into palm-sized, two-finger-wide noodle cakes, steam them in a basket, take them down to dry for a while, cut them into chunks, take a bamboo plaque, and place a layer underneath Put the cut noodles on the clean straw, cover it with a layer of hemp leaves, and put it in the corner of the room that is not ventilated and light-proof.A few days later, the yellow noodle cakes began to become moldy and hairy. When the whole body was covered with yellow mold, the ingredients for making sweet noodle sauce were ready.

Then take these mold-covered noodle cakes to the sun and expose them to the sun. When they are extremely hard to hold, they are put into a stone mortar and pounded into powder. Take a large tank, pour the pounded powder, add light The cold boiled water of the salt water, because of the original sweet noodle sauce, don’t put anything in it. After the water completely submerges the sauce powder inside, seal the sauce tank with a clean sackcloth.

The rest will be left to time. Making sauce is a very hard work, and it needs to be exposed to the sun and night. The big sauce jar is placed in the yard, exposed to the hot sun during the day. The clean bamboo pole is constantly stirred clockwise, so that the sauce inside can be fully fermented.In this way, it needs to be dried every day for three months to make authentic farmhouse sweet noodle sauce.

The color of the finished sweet noodle sauce is golden brown, dip a little bit with your finger and put it in your mouth, it tastes delicious and delicate, it is considered ready.

In her previous life, Bai Chunsheng's grandma would make two large jars of sweet noodle sauce every early summer. After they were ready, they would be divided into jars of ten catties each. Enough for a whole year.Bai Chunsheng likes to eat fried noodles made with this kind of sweet noodle sauce, as well as shredded pork with Beijing sauce, soy sauce elbow, etc. This kind of sweet noodle sauce is also a must for roast duck.

The two master chefs watched without blinking their eyes, for fear of missing some steps, they thought it was just a pickle, what could be so difficult?It turned out that the pickles that the shopkeeper Bai made were not ordinary pickles that were simply pickled with salt. Among other things, there were more than a dozen secret seasonings used by their masters. What kind of pickles should be matched with what seasoning and how much weight is very particular.

The two master chefs who didn't take it seriously at first, are now completely convinced by this seemingly frail shopkeeper Bai. Knowing that he can trust them, they feel relieved to pass these secret recipes on to them, and they become more cautious. I dare not use paper to write down what I am learning, for fear that it will be accidentally leaked and cause trouble for the shopkeeper. After all, this is the cooking skill of others!

Bai Chunsheng doesn't mind these things too much. To be honest, in their hometown, even if they teach them by hand, the taste of each family will not be exactly the same. The time, season, climate change, and even drying of the sauce One more rain during the process will affect the taste of this batch of sauces.

Besides, with so many people across the country, even if someone imitated his sauce-making skills to open a workshop, as long as they are used to their sauces, they would not buy other people's sauces just to save a few copper coins.

To put it bluntly, with their family Kun around, no one in the entire Qinghe Wharf has the guts to steal his secret recipe and go out to open a workshop alone. If you are not afraid of being smashed by Brother Kun, just open it!Brother Kun's violent temper~ Tsk!

Bai Chunsheng thought proudly, it's cool to be covered by someone!What do you want to do, don't accept it?hold on!

Their brother Kun is really soft, cute and violent, and his boyfriend is full of strength, so warm at home!

"Okay, don't make too much for the first batch. It's almost done after finishing the two thousand catties of wheat noodles you bought. By the way, remember to go to the kiln next time and ask them to burn some lids that match the sauce jars. If the weather is bad , just put the lid on, this sauce jar is so big, it’s inconvenient to move it.” Seeing the sauce jar in the yard cleaned up and exposed to the sun, Bai Chunsheng suddenly remembered that there was no predetermined lid, and immediately ordered.

Naturally, there are people in charge of purchasing who will write it down and not mention it.So people are lazy and there are ways to be lazy. Bai Chunsheng paid a lot of attention to buying people, and then personally trained them for a period of time, just to make it easier for them to run errands for him. He is so lazy.

The matter of Bai Chunsheng and Wang Kunfeng's engagement was not disclosed to the outside world, both families deliberately kept it a secret, lest the people in the palace hear too much gossip.The preparatory work has already begun.

Marriage here is not like the time and space that Bai Chunsheng and the others lived in. It takes a few dollars to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate and even get married. In Bai Chunsheng's opinion, there are still five or six months, which should be enough to prepare for the marriage. However, in the local Aboriginal Aunt Wang From Concubine Gong's point of view, such a short amount of time is going to drive them crazy!

What's more, the foundation of the wedding room has only just begun to be laid!

Aunt Wang was so angry that two blisters had grown on her mouth. She had no choice but to lend her two sewing girls beside her for a while, and invited a few sewing girls nearby. Housewives, help make the quilt and other things in the wedding room together.

As for the most important wedding dress, Aunt Wang paid extra money and invited an old embroiderer from a Quanfu family she knew well to help with it. Affluent, Aunt Wang is very frugal in her daily life, but she is very generous to her three children. She wished to leave all the good things in the family to the children, especially Da Lang. Thanks to his hard support for the family for so many years, Aunt Wang loves this child , and even more reluctant to wrong him in marriage.

Everything is going on in secret, but who is Shang Qiulu?Since he left his most trusted Chikura here, it is natural that there are some special information channels that only the two of them know.

Qiancang dared to hide the truth from the concubine, but he did not dare to hide it from Shang Qiulu. He had already told Shang Qiulu in detail about Bai Chunsheng and Wang Kunfeng's secret engagement and their marriage under the New Year's Eve.

Shang Qiulu is now by Shizi's side, because he is quick-witted and good at being a man, he quickly blended in with the other guards around Shizi, and because of his proper handling, he has won the respect of the prince and princess, and because he has saved his life , Even the stewards of the palace looked at him differently, you know, the princess is just such a single seedling, Shang Qiulu saved the lifeblood of the princess, no wonder the princess looked at him differently.

At this moment, the son was reviewing his homework in the study, and Shang Qiulu was standing outside under the eaves boredly, looking at the crescent moon hanging on the top of the tree, thinking of the clam spirit who was thousands of miles away. It seems to know nothing, but it seems to know everything, it seems to be ignorant of the world, but sometimes it is very sophisticated... Shang Qiulu has met all kinds of people in this short life, every kind of people In his world, people will be accurately labeled with various labels, and he will use these labels to decide how to attack these people.

It's just that this kind of easy-going rules of life have been repeatedly frustrated by Bai Chunsheng.

He knew it was abnormal, and he never allowed any accidents in his life.Therefore, he seized this opportunity, ended his life in the dark guard camp ahead of schedule, and entered the palace smoothly.

It was originally something to be happy about. For this goal, he has struggled for so long and suffered so much.However, when he left, holding those two heavy jars of pickles, which were obviously much more than other chili sauce jars, his heart, which should have been relaxed, also fell with the weight, making people uncomfortable!

Today, after he received a letter from Feige from Qiancang, he was stunned for a long time.

In fact, I had already guessed that such a day would come, but I didn't expect it to be so soon.

Qian Cang didn't know what he was thinking, and asked him in the letter if he needed to secretly prepare a congratulatory gift for himself.

Hey what?

Congratulations to the clam that had no hope before he could make a move?

That cat demon struck very quickly!

That's right, the cat demon loves fishy smell by nature, and smelling the smell of river mussels, how can he walk? !

"Qiu Lu, let's go back!" The door of the study opened from the inside. Two bookboys, one on the left and one on the right, were holding the prince's pen, ink, paper and inkstone and other things. A cloak, and two attendants were holding bright horn lamps in front. Xiao Shizi glanced at him with a smile, and stretched out a small white hand to him.

The servants next to him lowered their heads enviously.

The little prince changed his form within a few days after he came back. The princess rewarded Shang Qiulu with a hundred taels of gold and ten bolts of brocade at that time. As for Shang Qiulu's commendation, if he hadn't found Xiaoshizi's whereabouts in time, Xiaoshizi would be in danger if he took shape outside at his age, and he might have escaped death.

It can only be said that his life is good, he can meet Xiao Shizi by chance thousands of miles away, and save Xiao Shizi safely, let alone a little injury, even half his life is worth it!After saving the son, shouldn't the palace support him for the rest of his life?

"Qiu Lu, you seem a little unhappy today?" In the evening, after taking a bath, Xiao Shizi sent everyone away, leaving Shang Qiulu alone to talk.

Outsiders all said that Xiaoshizi had an affair with Shang Shiwei when he was living abroad, but only he knew that when he was with Shang Qiulu, he talked more about his eldest brother and Sanlang.

However, these things must not be heard by the people around him. Those are the ear gods arranged by the mother concubine around him. If these things reach the ears of the mother concubine, let alone Shang Qiulu will be punished. I'm afraid that even the eldest brother and the others will suffer from the disaster.

"No, it's just that the chili sauce is finished..." Shang Qiulu paused, and coughed a little embarrassedly.

"Pfft~ The chili sauce made by shopkeeper Bai is really delicious. If you want to eat it, just send a letter and ask the people over there to send some back immediately. There are people who pass by there every month. It's your own people, why are you being polite?" Xiao Shizi opened the snack box, picked out two pieces of snacks and put them in his hand.

"Not yet. If someone goes there next time, I just ask someone to bring some back. Now that I have come out of the dark guard camp, I still have to abide by some rules. Otherwise, the prince will blame me. Why don't I bother the prince to replace the subordinates?" pleading?"

"You are mine now, what's wrong with my pleading for you? It's just that you are always considerate and never give me a chance to plead. It's really boring!" Xiao Shizi took two walnuts and threw them into his arms. Shang Qiu Resignedly, Lu took out a small hammer from the food box and smashed walnuts for Shizi.

"I don't know how the elder brother and the others are doing now. The mother concubine never shows me the news from the elder brother. You say, the elder brother is so old, and the fifth brother of my third uncle's family is still two years younger than the elder brother. I heard that I will immediately give up." I'm going to be a father, when will my mother and concubine show up for my eldest brother? Do you think I should find a suitable opportunity to remind my mother and concubine?" The big brother's marriage is getting anxious, worrying that his big brother will become an older single meow if no one cares about him.

"This subordinate thinks that you should leave it alone. Firstly, you know the princess's temper. If she becomes self-defeating at that time, the eldest son may be punished; secondly, what if the eldest son suddenly takes a fancy to her during this period of time?" Who is it, you rashly let the princess betroth the eldest son, and you are causing trouble for the eldest son instead?" Shang Qiulu explained to the little prince slowly while smashing walnuts.

"That's right, I didn't think carefully, thanks to you! Qiu Lu, you can't leave me in the future!" Xiao Shizi looked at him relyingly with big round eyes.

"Hmm! The subordinates are naturally the only ones to follow." Shang Qiulu took out the smashed walnut meat, put it in the palm of his hand and blew it, and removed the small impurities inside, leaving only the walnut meat. Then a handful of walnut meat, Not enough for the couple.

"Okay, it's enough to eat these. I just changed my teeth. I eat too much. The princess is reluctant to punish you. We will be punished accordingly." Shang Qiulu re-covered the snack box and confiscated it decisively.

What Shang Qiulu didn't know was that his favorite chili sauce, which had already been eaten, would soon be transported to the imperial city on a merchant ship.

It never occurred to Bai Chunsheng that he, a river mussel spirit, neither made his fortune by cultivating pearls nor reached the pinnacle of his life by catching fish and shrimps, the first pot of gold he really earned by his own ability was actually making chili sauce The craft!

After Wang Kunfeng's first shipment of mountain peppers came back, because his own workshop hadn't been completed yet, in order to make the chili sauce quickly before the mountain peppers started to rot, Shopkeeper Bai hired some workers who had nothing to do near Yu Street. Housewives, help wash and chop peppers in the temporarily rented yard.

People all over the world know the smell of hot peppers, especially mountain hot peppers. People in the courtyard collectively chopped hot peppers. In those few days, the fish street, which used to smell fishy all the year round, was occupied by the unique pungent smell of hot peppers.

This smell did not attract ordinary people who complained, but attracted a quick-witted merchant.

This vendor is also a foodie. After eating fish noodles mixed with scallion oil at the Baijia restaurant, he was attracted by the unique sauce in the restaurant, but this time-space restaurant, he is just a restaurant. Few food shops sell sauces separately because the sauces cooked at home are good.

If this matter were placed on the ordinary food shop, the vendor would have thought of a way a long time ago, either forced to buy it, or framed it, and tried his best to get the sauce recipe from the Baijia food shop. Isn't this...cough!I heard that the owner of this restaurant is a very good brother of Wang Dalang from the local wharf. Who among them doesn't know the reputation of Wang Dalang?He singled out a nest of water bandits, extremely fierce!

Looking at his tiny arms, the vendor wisely dismissed his sinister thoughts.

Since then, they have turned their backs, and every time they pass by the Qinghe Wharf, they come to urge Xie Huang as usual, hoping that they can make more sauces as soon as possible. Going north, those noble people have a strong taste, and they will definitely like it. With a thick and delicious sauce, he will have another way to make a fortune by then.

This time, the trader surnamed Deng was very lucky. As soon as the ship docked at the pier, his nose, which is good at discovering delicious food, smelled the strong smell of chopped peppers in the air.

really!I went to the Baijia Food Shop to ask, and the shopkeeper Bai actually heard his request and opened a special workshop to make this chili sauce and sell it in the shop!

How could Boss Deng let him just sell them in pieces in the store?

At that moment, he went to shopkeeper Bai's workshop in a desperate manner, and searched for it before he had time to eat. He was very lucky today, and even met shopkeeper Bai who came to instruct the young workers to pickle peppers in the workshop!

Bai Chunsheng was also very helpless when he saw the shopkeeper Deng. Almost every time this guy came back, he had to ask about the chili sauce, otherwise he wouldn't have been busy renting a house and started making it before his own workshop was completed. The reason is that I don’t want to miss the current peak season of chili production, and I want to take advantage of the cheapness and high volume of chili peppers to make more stock for winter;

"Shopkeeper Bai! You promised me this chili sauce, you must sell some to me!" The chubby Boss Deng is over [-] this year, but he is still very humble in front of the hundreds of years old clam essence. Self-proclaimed younger brother.

"Didn't I promise you last time? Don't worry, I will give you half of the first batch. But we have agreed in advance. First, the chili sauce you took is not allowed to be sold locally. Second, in terms of price, I The price I will give you is the same as the price we buy locally, if Boss Deng is not willing, we will not force it."

"Why don't you want to? I would like to! I originally wanted to sell it to the north, and this is the price..."

"I also paid the same price to other vendors. One catty of mountain chili sauce, plus one catty of scallion oil, and a small bamboo basket outside, totaled 380 copper coins."

"Then... can I leave the basket, and just want chili sauce and scallion oil? Can it be cheaper?" Boss Deng habitually wanted to bargain.

"No, we are all well-matched and sold on the pier as local specialties. Boss Deng, you know that there are a lot of passenger ships passing by our pier. It is rare to pass by here. In all likelihood, they will buy some local products. When I go back, this basket is beautiful and practical, and the price is not very expensive, most of the customers will buy it, if you don’t come today, I won’t agree to other people.”

"Think about it, it doesn't matter if you don't buy it, we sell it ourselves, and it's not impossible to sell it. You know about chili sauce, it won't go bad after a year or so."

"Success! Then give me five hundred pieces first!" Boss Deng gritted his teeth. If such a rare thing is sold to the north, the profit can only be doubled. .

"Five hundred pieces? There aren't that many. We still have to keep some for sale in the store. We can only get three hundred pieces out of this batch for you at most. Why don't you try it first? If it sells well, next time Shall I prepare some more for you?"

"That's all I can do. Thank you, Shopkeeper Bai! How long will it take for this batch of goods to ship?"

"Are you still going downstream to load dried fish? In this way, when you come back and pass by the pier in a few days, I will definitely prepare it for you, and it can be loaded at any time."

"Okay! Then the deposit, how much is it?"

"Boss Deng wants to coax me, this first time business monster. Isn't it the rule in your mortal world that [-]% of the payment is a deposit? If you don't come to pick up the goods on the agreed date, the deposit will not be refunded." Bai Chunsheng Looking at him with a smile, Xiao Mian, playing tricks on me, thinking about those TVB commercial war movies back then, I was not in vain!

"Treasurer Bai is really smart...the future is boundless!" Boss Deng laughed dryly, and obediently took out the deposit.
