fish street dad

However, they didn't make this special trip to watch other people's homes being lively, but they came to find the villagers on serious business.

It turned out that the peach gum that caused Bai Chunsheng's sunburn last time was very nourishing and delicious, and the Baijiashi shop stewed dozens of cups of peach gum fish soup every day, which was basically given by the rich people in the town. I made a reservation, and the peach gum that was originally picked back was almost used up. Before the summer was over, the two of them made a special trip to Taohuaao to ask the villagers to help pick some more peach gum. Purchased at the price of a copper plate.

Don't think that the price is already very high in the eyes of the villagers. After all, a catty of peaches only sells for two copper coins, but the shopkeeper Bai can make money. So a cup of peach gum fish soup, add some goji berries and angelica in it Nourishing medicinal materials cost a bunch of money for a cup. It is only said that regular consumption of peach gum can make the skin moist and fair, don't you believe it?Look at the snow skin of their shopkeeper!Who in the whole fish street can compare to his flamboyant jade skin?It is said that it is because the shopkeeper eats peach gum stew all the year round!

In any dynasty, women would not be stingy with money in order to become beautiful. What's more, this peach gum looks not cheap, but it is much cheaper than traditional nourishing bird's nest and shark's fin, and it tastes good. After cooking It presents a good-looking transparent shape, which is simply the favorite of Yan dogs.

The reason why Bai Chunsheng was very relieved to teach the few signature dishes in the restaurant to the servants who bought them was because they sold themselves to him, so they were more trustworthy, and there was another more important reason, that is, he The recipes saved in his mind in his previous life are enough for him to reopen a New Oriental Cooking School in this world. Even if some of these people betray him and leak the recipes, it is just a loss of one or two insignificant dishes. It doesn't hurt at all for his future catering career.

Take this peach gum for example, except for a few close people, no one knows how the peach gum is cooked after it is picked from the tree. The reason why he came to Taohuaao himself is precisely because he wants to take advantage of the Before others found out, they ordered all the peach gum here.

After the villagers in Taohuaao learned that someone paid a high price of [-] copper coins per catty to buy the annoying peach gum from their peach trees, they also thought that the shopkeeper Bai might be out of his mind.Villagers seldom go to the town, and they do go once in a while to set up stalls to sell some local products at home. They usually bring their own dry food to save money on steamed buns, let alone spend such a high price to buy steamed buns. The family food shop is drinking peach gum fish soup, let alone peach gum, they are even reluctant to buy the cheapest scallion oil noodles in the Baijia food shop!

However, since someone is willing to pay such a high price to buy peach gum that they think is useless, they are also happy to take this job. No one wants it on the tree, and you can exchange it for copper coins if you pick it off, so why not do it?

Seeing that Bai Chunsheng and Wang Kunfeng were generous, the village chief ordered a hundred catties of peach gum from them in one go, and said that if there were any more, they would be sent to his shop at this price, so he was happy to invite them Having a meal at home, the village head is also a wonderful person. He knows that the woman who is going to marry the second shopkeeper in Bai Chunsheng's shop is the daughter of old man Zeng's family in their village. Wanting to know what happened to the Zeng family, during the banquet, he told the incidents that happened in the Zeng family as a country joke——

"Xiniang and her father are so old-fashioned! It's not enough to sell your daughter once, but you have to sell it again! No, the present newspaper will come as soon as you say it! Just got the silver ticket before it's hot, and I'm paralyzed!"

"Fortunately, his former daughter-in-law was quite conscientious. Seeing that he was paralyzed and her son was left alone, she came back with her eldest son. She didn't dislike Xi Niang. Her father was paralyzed, and she still took care of the family. Gui Pola, you have a good heart."

"That widow was yelling at Qianniang that her father would hang herself in the ancestral hall if she didn't marry her. He heard that he was paralyzed, so she didn't say a word. Fortunately, Qianniang's father even sold his own daughter to marry this woman. Well, I'm really blind!"

Bai Chunsheng took a peek at Wang Kunfeng, and found that this guy was sitting there like a wolf with a big tail, and was speechless for a while.

He couldn't understand why the old man Zeng was paralyzed in bed.

In fact, it was a ploy to kill people with a borrowed knife. Wang Kunfeng let people find the place where old man Zeng's former wife lived. Since that woman was divorced by old man Zeng, her life was really difficult, and her son owed a lot of money outside. Both the mother and the son couldn't live anymore, but fortunately, the old man Zeng was fooling around outside all day long, and the youngest son often stole some rice from home to help them, so they didn't starve to death.

There is no such thing as a perfect road. On this day, the eldest son heard from a few friends outside that the old man Zeng sold his widowed daughter to someone else as a concubine. The handsome little widow in the village, he exploded when he heard it, and divorced his mother in love to marry the young and beautiful vixen outside!

The mother and son closed the door to conspire for a while, and then they made up a plan. They didn't dare to really kill old man Zeng. When the government found out, none of them could escape, so they secretly went to find the vicious and smoking black-hearted doctor , bought medicine that can cure people into wind, and coaxed the youngest son, saying that if he refused to help them, when the stepmother came in, he would suffer a lot from now on.

The youngest son had seen how his mother treated Mrs. Zeng before, and wanted his mother to come back to this house again, so he cooperated inside and outside, opened the door for them, and poured old man Zeng with medicine...

Ever since Mrs. Zeng saw the deed of sale in which her own father pressed his fingerprints, she seemed to have changed her soul. Her eyes were not as weak as before, and her demeanor became clearer and more generous. With such a big change, Bai Chunsheng couldn't help but wonder if she had been pierced by a human soul.

Xie Huang and Mrs. Zeng's big day will be on the [-]th of this month, a good day for everything.

The day before the wedding, several acquaintances came to add makeup to Madam Zeng. Everyone was not rich, and the gifts they gave were not very good. Most of them were a piece of floral cloth and a few silk flowers. He and Aunt Zhou chipped in to buy a pair of silver beard bracelets for Mrs. Zeng. Bai Chunsheng asked Aunt Zhou to help buy a piece of blue cotton cloth. He heard that the brides here would sew a set of clothes for the groom after their wedding. Worried that Mrs. Zeng would not have the money to buy these, she bought a piece of cotton cloth for her, so that she could make new clothes for Xie Huang.

Holding these makeup filled with blessings, Mrs. Zeng, who hadn't cried for a long time, once again had red eyes.In the past, she always thought that only relatives would treat her well, but she never expected that her only relative in this world would sell her in order to marry a widow, and these "outsiders" whom she had deliberately alienated in the past, were in her last moment. When she was helpless, she selflessly reached out and saved her who should have died.From now on, her life is her own, and it is up to her to decide who is good and who is cruel!

"Old Xie, we are about to get married, so why didn't you buy something for Mrs. Zeng?" In a few days before getting married, Bai Chunsheng made the decision to give Xie Huang a vacation, who knew that this kid just followed around foolishly Aunt Zhou was busy behind her buttocks, never thinking of finding hairpins for the bride, rouge, and so on, it was just a piece of wood!

"I asked Xi Niang, and Xi Niang said that I am not allowed to spend money recklessly, and we have to save up the money, and we will save it for the future. The ducks are back to be raised, so that if I want to eat egg yolks in the future, I don’t have to go out and spend money to buy them.” Xie Huang smiled idiotically.

"That's all right, all right, I don't care about you! In short, when we get married, you can just listen to Mrs. Zeng. I think she can live a life, and you must listen to her!" Bai Chunsheng was forcibly stuffed. Mouth dog food, the whole mussel is bad.

"Aunt Zhou said the same thing, let me listen to Xi Niang from now on."

"Get out! Go and chop some firewood if you have nothing to do, and you will continue to work in the shop after you get married. Will your wife go outside to chop firewood then?" Bai Chunsheng waved his hand irritably, sending the crabs to chop firewood went.

On the day of getting married, the Baijia restaurant was closed for one day, and all the staff in the store came to help. The old gourmets in Yujie went early in the morning to see that the store was closed, and there was a sign saying "The owner is happy, it will be closed for one day" After inquiring, I found out that the simple and honest crab spirit in the shop got married today, and those who were acquainted wrapped dozens of copper coins in congratulatory gifts.

Xie Huang didn't expect that many old customers in the shop would send congratulatory gifts, and there was not enough prepared gifts and dinners. Fortunately, most of the guests in their yard were their own buddies, and they were there on the spot. Rolling up their sleeves, they steamed a lot of big buns stuffed with pork and vegetables, and boiled delicious fish soup. As a gift, they brought over freshly made chili sauce from the workshop. Temporarily pasted red paper, it seems to be the same thing.

In the room, Zeng Xiniang put on the red wedding gown that she sewed by herself. She never imagined that in this life, she would have the opportunity to wear the red wedding gown and marry another man as a lady.

"Xiniang, hurry up and put on the hijab, it's time to go out." Aunt Wang urged the invited Mrs. Quanfu to put the hijab back on her. The new house is the one where Xie Huang lives at the opposite door. It happened that Shang Qiulu went to the prince. The mansion, the room he vacated, and the room where Mrs. Xie used to live, were all rowed over for the couple to live in. The two spacious rooms, plus a large common kitchen, are on Fish Street. It's a nice new house.

Mrs. Zeng no longer had her natal family, so Aunt Wang recognized her as her goddaughter and asked her to marry from her own family.They are all from poor families, and they don’t pay attention to showing the dowry when they get married, and they don’t have to do it if they want to. After covering the hijab, the bride is carried by Wang Kunfeng, a cheap elder brother, and gets into the sedan chair. Xie Huang rides a mule in front of the sedan chair , walked around the fish street, sprinkled peanuts and red dates all the way, and finally returned to her yard, the matchmaker sang a few auspicious words, asked the bride to get off the sedan chair, crossed the brazier, and sent them all the way to the front of the hall.

In the main room of the worship hall, a temporary memorial tablet had been placed long ago. The Crab Essence didn’t know his biological father and mother. Mrs. Zeng was sold by her biological father, and she didn’t want to recognize such a biological father in her heart, so she simply became her biological mother. The tablet, the couple paid their respects to the tablet of the great mother, and after the bride was sent to the bridal chamber, all the women and children in the yard poured into the new house, clamoring to see the bride.

The matchmaker stuffed a steelyard into Xie Huang's hands, asked him to pick a hijab for the bride, and sang a few auspicious words loudly, and the people next to him booed, telling them to "satisfy their wishes" and "give birth to a precious child early" and so on.

Xie Huang is a little nervous. He has lived for so long and never thought that he would marry a human woman, but he has already transformed into a human, so it is not easy to reproduce with female crabs like other crabs that have not yet developed wisdom. When living, it's not that he doesn't envy the people around him who can have their own families, but he has always been timid, never thought of asking to marry a mortal woman, and never thought that a mortal woman would marry a crab like him , until today when they got married, the crab's brain is still a little confused, and the hand holding the scale is almost turning into a crab's claw.

"The groom is really shy, look! His ears are red! Hurry up, don't bore the bride!" The matchmaker next to him urged.

The Crab Essence mustered up his courage, trembling his hands, and slowly lifted the big red hijab, only to hear the sound of breathing in the room. The beauty of the bride stunned all the women in Yujie.

Aunt Zhou and Aunt Wang looked at each other very proudly.They had already admired the beauty of the bride when she was grooming her, so they were not surprised now.

In fact, Mrs. Zeng is very good-looking, with a pair of willow-leaf eyebrows, eyes full of affection, a nose like Qiongyao's, and lips that are not smudged and red. She is bored in the room all year round. Her skin was unhealthy and pale, but after applying some rouge, she added a touch of it. Mingyan, against the backdrop of the bright red wedding dress, she looked even more white as snow, and her beauty was astonishing.

"My dear~ No wonder Xie Dalang would rather spend 50 taels of silver to marry this little lady, she looks like a fairy!"

"In the past, Mrs. Zeng was dressed plainly, and she always lowered her head, so she couldn't see her face clearly. She never thought that she would look like the daughter of the daughter on the stage after dressing up. Xie Dalang is really lucky!"

"Miss, are you hungry?" Xie Huang looked at Madam Zeng foolishly and smiled for a while, then asked suddenly.

When Zeng Qianniang was asked such a question, her face turned red immediately, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Hahaha~ The bridegroom should go out and entertain the distinguished guests. If the bride is hungry, we will take care of her. I will guarantee that your wife will not be hungry!" The female relatives laughed and pushed the crab essence out. The children saw the beautiful The bride, after getting the melon seed snacks in the new house, also rushed out to grab the noodles. Aunt Zhou took two dim sums and stuffed them into Mrs. Zeng's hands. People like them are not so particular about big families. On the wedding day, the bride was not given anything to eat, for fear of making a fool of herself, Mrs. Zeng ate two pieces of dim sum to pad her stomach, and Mrs. Wang went to the kitchen to bring over two plates of vegetable and meat buns, and the people who followed her also brought a large With a bowl of hot fish soup, the female relatives in the house accompanied the bride to have a simple meal.

"Xiniang, now you have come to the end of all hardships, and live a good life with Xie Dalang in the future, but you are not allowed to go back to that house again. To put it bluntly, if your mother is alive, I would rather you stay here than never Going back to see her is better than being killed by that dear father of yours." Aunt Zhou persuaded earnestly.

"Don't worry, auntie, I'm the daughter-in-law of Xie's family now, so naturally I have to stay in Xie's family and listen to my husband." Mrs. Zeng replied softly, with her head lowered, as she gnawed on the steamed stuffed bun.

She had figured it out thoroughly. If her mother had a spirit in heaven, she would definitely not want her to sacrifice herself for the sake of the dead. She had been sold by her father three times, and it was only three times. Now 50 taels of silver completely cut them off. The last bit of family relationship between father and daughter, from now on, she will be Xie's wife, not Zeng's daughter!

The guys at Baijia Food Shop found that since their second shopkeeper got married, he seemed to be a different person. He was no longer the first to enter the shop in the morning, and he stopped wandering around after the shop closed in the afternoon. Going home after work, he is so obedient that he doesn't look like a crab spirit with teeth and claws, but like a cat demon who loves his home.

"My lady, didn't you say that the dried smoked fish was delicious yesterday? I bought a lot of fresh minnows at the pier today, let's make some dried smoked fish and save it for eating slowly?" Xie Huang was carrying a large wooden barrel after work. When I came back, there was still a barrel full of minnows in the wooden barrel. This season is when minnows are on the market, and the price is cheap. It only cost less than [-] copper coins for such a barrel, and the dried smoked fish was preserved. , enough for the couple to eat for a long time.

After getting married, Xie Huang discovered that the reason why their family Qianniang didn't cook in the past was not because she couldn't do it, but because she was alone, and it was inconvenient to chop firewood, and it was not cost-effective to buy firewood for cooking, so she could only cook. After making do with every day, Mrs. Zeng got the chance to show off her cooking skills after getting married.

My husband likes to eat all kinds of eggs, Mrs. Zeng makes eggs in different ways every day, making steamed eggs today, and scrambled eggs with pepper tomorrow. She also asked Bai Chunsheng for advice on how to make pumpkin with egg yolk, and went to the market to buy it herself. Fresh duck eggs come back to pickle salted duck eggs. You can eat all kinds of eggs on the dining table at home every day. How can crab essence be willing to hang out outside?

"Today's minnows are not small. Let's eat first. After eating, let's kill these fish and marinate them." Mrs. Zeng looked at the minnows in the barrel with satisfaction. In the throat, I couldn't help but spit it out with a wow.

"What? Is your lady pregnant? Is it a human or a crab?" Hearing the crab spirit happily running over to announce the good news, Bai Chunsheng was in a bad mood.

What kind of speed is this?Great my crab brother!

"Whether it's the son of a mortal or the little crab, they are all the children of Xi Niang and me. I'm going to be a father, hehehe~" The crab spirit smiled very awkwardly.

He came to ask for leave from the shopkeeper. The demon clan and mortals have children, and ordinary doctors can't see them. They have to go to the state capital to find the official's doctor to help them quietly. It takes at least five days to go back and forth.

"Go to the account and pay 20 taels of silver. I will borrow it from you. The state capital is no more than the town. There are more places to spend money. Mrs. Zeng is pregnant and she is away from home. She can't be careless about food and lodging. Is 20 taels enough?"

"Enough is enough! Not so much, but the shopkeeper, let me go and follow the cargo ship a few more times when I come back. I still owe you 50 taels of silver. Now Xi Niang has my flesh and blood again, and a family It all costs money, and the monthly money in the shop is really not enough..." After getting married and starting a business, Crab Essence finally learned what it means to be a man, and bravely shouldered the responsibility of supporting the family.

"You should have thought so long ago! You can't make much money from the food shop. In this way, you can go to the state capital with Mrs. Zeng first. After you come back, I will give you half a month. Hand over the matter to Zhou Dong, you go to the workshop to be responsible for the purchase, and you have to go out to purchase throughout the year, I don’t feel relieved to leave this matter to others, it’s best if you look at it, I’ll give you a monthly fee that increases to every month 20 taels of silver. In addition, go out to buy, and I will give you another five taels of hard work. After you have worked hard for several years, raising a child is no better than living alone. More than one."

Crabs are the famous supernatural guerrillas of the Yaozu, Bai Chunsheng silently lighted a row of wax for the crabs in his heart.There was only so much he could do to help this crab.

Regarding this, Wang Kunfeng swept away the previous envy and hatred, and was very gloating: "Fortunately, the two of us are together, so we won't have the trouble of having children."

"Yeah, I don't like children very much either." Thinking of the bad behaviors of those brats in his previous life who came to his room to make trouble in his room, and even grabbed snacks, fireworks, and red envelopes with him during Chinese New Year in his previous life, Bai Chunsheng was extremely thankful. I was bent by Brother Kun.

Or, he was bent in the first place, but he hadn't noticed it before?

"Don't worry about the heirs, it's going to be autumn soon. Yesterday, I heard from the fisherman who delivered the fish in the shop that this year's snakehead is thick in meat and has a high yield. Can you help me get some bigger fishing boats? ? I want to send Lao Xie a few trips downstream to buy a batch of autumn spotted snakehead and make dried snakehead and fish bone meal."

"Fish bone meal?"

"The autumn spotted snakehead is not only thick and thick, but the fish meat can be used to make dried snakehead. The skin is also chewy. It can be used to make hot and sour fish skin. The fish bones on the body are also good things. The fish bones that have been shaved can be dried Or it can be dried and ground into powder, which can be added to wheat noodles. People and demons can eat it, and the bones can become stronger after eating. It is especially suitable for the elderly and children. And fish bone meal is easy to store, unlike us now The fish velvet used to make fish noodles must be freshly made on the same day.”

"How many snakeheads do you want to buy?"

"Let's buy more than 1000 catties first. Didn't the dried minnows we made before sell well in the north? The minnows will be off the market soon, and there must be new products. Those in the workshop must also have It’s business that makes money.”

Wang Kunfeng was almost numb to the wealth-obsessed nature of his mussel, so he immediately went to help find a boat.
