fish street dad

After a meal at the sister-in-law's place, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not leave, but stayed with them to squat idly in the shade of the big willow tree and fish for shrimps together. There are many knuckle-sized grasses in the pond in the backyard of the palace. Shrimp, this kind of shrimp has little meat, probably no one would catch it before, but it has multiplied a lot, so Bai Chunsheng ordered someone to make a few fishing rods, squatting here to fish for shrimps, which can be considered as a way to pass the time.

Only when he arrived in the imperial city did he realize that although the place is bustling and noisy, there are not many places suitable for people like them to have fun. He didn't understand the poems recited by literati in teahouses, and antique shops cost thousands of taels of silver. He doesn't know how to appreciate calligraphy and painting, Goulan Courtyard... Cough!He is now the concubine of the county at any rate. It has not been a month since the prince of his county led his troops to go to war, and he couldn't bear to be lonely and went to visit the Goulan courtyard. If word spread, his reputation would soon be ruined.

Master Cat was kind to him, and he never thought of planting a green grassland on Master Cat's big, furry head.

"Sister-in-law, if you really have nothing to do, why don't you set up a shop to sell novelty food? This imperial city is full of masters who are not short of money, dudes in the inner city and outer city, thinking about it every day." It's all about finding some novelties, sister-in-law, your fish noodles are so delicious, if you open a shop to sell fish noodles, the business may be even hotter than Fish Street!"

"It's not that I haven't thought about it. It's boring to stay at home. However, it's hard to find a shop by myself. Second, I'm now the princess of the county. If I just show my face and sell fish noodles like this, I'm afraid I will lose my job." Hurt the face of His Majesty and the royal family, right?" You won't be beheaded, right?This is what Bai Chunsheng is most worried about. In this world where imperial power is paramount, the emperor can kill you if he is unhappy. Now his cat master is leading the army, and he is not familiar with the situation here, so he dare not do anything rashly buy and sell.

Although he really wanted to.

If you are not in charge of your family, you don't know how expensive firewood is!People outside looked at how beautiful and luxurious the Royal Mansion of Qinghe County was!Only the owner of the palace knows that in order to maintain such a mansion well, it would cost hundreds of taels of silver every month just to distribute monthly money to the servants!Not counting the expenses of various human relations, if someone invites you to a banquet, you can't be stingy once a year without inviting guests, can you?He had inquired about it, and invited people to the house for a banquet in the imperial city, not to mention the food and wine for the banquet. There were no prostitutes at home, and he had to go to the music workshop to invite some singing and dancing prostitutes to perform a few shows, and he had to prepare some For other things, it will cost a few taels to invite a guest once. This is an ordinary guest. If you invite important officials of the court or relatives of the emperor, it will cost thousands of taels of silver just to buy all kinds of expensive ingredients and drinks...

Nima sometimes calculates the cost, he really wants to sell this imperial palace!

No wonder all officials in the imperial court form cliques for private gain, take bribes and take bribes. If there is no corruption, just rely on a little salary every year, not to mention entertaining guests, and they can’t even support their own family members!

"Haha~ Sister-in-law, don't you think that my younger brother is asking you to open a shop and do business by yourself?" His Royal Highness was stunned for a moment, and burst into laughter. Since Shang Qiulu's accident, he hasn't laughed so much for a long time. Sister-in-law is such a wonderful person...

"There is also a shop that runs a shop, sister-in-law, you have been married to your eldest brother for so long, you haven't read your internal treasury list yet?"

"Ah? Neiku list?" Bai Chunsheng vaguely remembered that before his cat master left, he did give him a key, saying that it was the key of the warehouse, so that he could have time to look at it. From now on, all the money for living at home will be taken from it. Curry takes.

However, he always thought that the warehouse was equivalent to their safe or something, didn't he?

"Hey! Sister-in-law, let's go, take the key, let's go to your inner vault to have a look." His Royal Highness could not help but support his forehead and said.

His eldest sister-in-law is indeed a wild water demon that came up from the water. She usually looks smart and capable, but she doesn't understand the vulgar things in the world at all.

A powerful family like them usually has two big housekeepers, one inside and one inside. The place where things are usually stored in the house is also divided into an inner warehouse and an outer warehouse. The outer warehouse mainly stores some commonly used rice, flour, beans, salt, tea, cloth, etc. Objects, the things that are used in an ordinary house, are usually drawn from the external warehouse, and the external steward will show the account book to the owner after a while, so as to save you from having to trouble the nobles with trivial matters such as stitches and threads.

The inner warehouse is more important than the outer warehouse. It mainly stores valuables such as the owner's house deed, antique calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver, etc. The stewards of the inner warehouse are also extremely trusted cronies of the owner. pass.

but--

"Sister-in-law, who is the steward of the inner treasury of your palace?"

Bai Chunsheng: "...it's Uncle Ju."

"Pfft~" His Royal Highness supported the tree and almost fainted from laughter.

Uncle Orange, he knew that there was a half-demon who lived in the other courtyard of the Wangfu back then, and he and his elder brother’s cousin were very greedy and lazy. The prototype was a plump orange cat. After the elder brother left the other courtyard, Uncle Ju also left with them, but he never liked to be transformed into a human form, so the elder brother simply let him live in the public house at the dock, lying on the side of the accountant all day At the table, pretend to be a real cat... so you don't have to work and have someone to feed it!

After the eldest brother came to the imperial city, he was worried that Uncle Orange would be stolen as a real cat if he fell asleep in the public house on the pier, so he brought him back. Unexpectedly, he became the manager of the inner warehouse of the county prince's mansion!

Although Uncle Orange has not been recognized by the royal family and has no title of title, it would be rude to ask him to be in charge of the internal warehouse, right?

"Oh! You'll find out by yourself!" Bai Chunsheng sighed, it wasn't that he and Wang Kunfeng didn't respect the elders, it's just that the elders...

On an early summer afternoon, under the warm sunshine, a severely overweight orange cat lay flat on a stool under the eaves with its four paws spread out, and a clean dinner plate was placed in the corner of the stool, which was as wide as a tatami mat. , it seems that this orange cat is full and has no plans to move its nest, so it just sleeps in the place where it eats.

His Royal Highness: "..."

Well, he admitted that the eldest brother always has his own reasons for doing things. For Uncle Orange, guarding the warehouse is probably the most suitable position for him, right?

"Uncle Orange? Uncle Orange?" Bai Chunsheng went up and shouted twice in person, his eyes gleamed, and he was very envious of the chubby orange cat in front of him, which looked like a soft cat blanket. I can't help but want to go up and touch it twice, if I can take a breath while I'm not prepared... Cough!

The orange cat is usually very aloof (commonly known as lazy), but Xu Shi smelled the familiar spicy shrimp smell on Bai Chunsheng's body. The orange cat, who was so fat that he couldn't even see his neck, finally raised his eyelids with great effort, almost He glanced at Bai Chunsheng with an expression of rolling his eyes. There was nothing he could do. Fat Miao was unable to move, and he was too lazy to raise his head, let alone get up, so he raised his eyelids to say hello.

His Royal Highness: "..."

He felt a little ashamed, just now he really misunderstood his eldest brother and sister-in-law, just like Uncle Tang, let alone killing the enemy, let him manage a warehouse, with his father's temperament, he might have exiled such a warehouse manager long ago It's been three thousand miles, how could he be allowed to eat here and wait to die?

It looks like I ate such a big plate of food at noon!

Looking at the giant dinner plate with three ordinary dinner plates on one side, His Royal Highness thought with sympathy, no wonder the sister-in-law always said that the family spent a lot of money, and there were so many masters who could only eat but not earn money. Son, if you don't work hard to make money, why don't you let the whole family drink northwest wind?

"Uncle Orange, the crown prince and Saburo and I are going into the warehouse to check a pair of internal warehouse orders."

"Oh~ then you go in! Remember to lock the door when you come out." The orange cat didn't even lift its paws, just raised it up, like an orange cat looking at people through the slits, and then drooped its thick eyelids again , Unsuspectingly fell asleep.

His Highness the Crown Prince: "..." Gu felt that sister-in-law should be sent two more guards to help guard the warehouse!Nima just guards the warehouse with this product, won't thieves sneak in?No!The thief doesn't even have to sneak in, as long as he sees the cat asleep, he can just walk in without hesitation?

Also, why is the orange cat so fat?It is simply a disgrace to their cat demon clan!

The shame in the eyes of the cat demon, but in the eyes of the fluffy shopkeeper Bai, it is extremely cute!Look at those chubby paw pads!Look at that fluffy, soft orange hairball!Look at that chubby fur belly... I wonder if there are other half-demon kittens in Uncle Orange's house?If there is a family who dislikes the impure bloodline and does not want it, he and the cat master can come back and adopt it.

Thinking of a certain day in the future, one or more chubby orange hair balls will be circling around my feet, each of them shouting "Daddy, I want to eat fish balls" ", "Daddy, I want to eat fish porridge", "Can Daddy make me fish noodles overnight?"... Do it!Whatever the kittens want to eat, daddy has to cook for them!My heart is about to melt, okay?

"Cough~ sister-in-law, it's getting late, let's go in earlier, and the second brother should return to the palace earlier." Saburo saw his sister-in-law looking at Uncle Orange with strange eyes, and knew that his sister-in-law always had a certain feeling for their prototype. A strange longing, very worried that during the time when the eldest brother is away, the sister-in-law who is obsessed with hairballs will be seduced by this orange hairball that feels particularly good at the first sight, and immediately reminds her aloud.

"That's right, let's go in first, Uncle Orange is probably tired, let him rest!"

The prince and Saburo looked at each other, they had nothing to say about the sister-in-law's double standards, they were busy all day and didn't even take a nap, why didn't the sister-in-law feel sorry for them?Is it because they didn't turn into hairballs?

Fortunately, Wang Kunfeng didn't really let Uncle Ju look at such a big inner warehouse with a cat. He was actually a steward by name. There were several people who were actually in charge of guarding the warehouse. They were all brought back from Qinghe by Wang Kunfeng. Dear friend, he immediately opened the door of the inner warehouse for the princess, and another clerk came over with a booklet of items from the inner warehouse. Bai Chunsheng also had a copy of this booklet in his hand, and another copy was in triplicate in Wang Kunfeng's study.

This is the oppression of wealthy families. In later generations, people often envy the mistresses of wealthy families, saying that they don’t need to work or bring up children. They only need to put on makeup and fight with the goblins in the inner house every day. It’s just nonsense!

Not to mention the residences of other royal princes, even their small county palace, there are a lot of things to do behind closed doors, not to mention the family's eating and drinking, and human relations, just the inner and outer warehouses From time to time, I have to take the booklet and key to check the accounts. Firstly, it is to prevent slaves from eating and stealing their own things and sell them. It's exhausting to go out to clear the warehouse, and then keep filling in new ones!

Otherwise, why did women in ancient times have to have pre-marital training when they got married, especially if they were regular wives?

As a pure man who has not undergone pre-marriage training, the post-marriage life of the princess of Qinghe County is simply one word: mourning!Before the prince of the county went out, the husband and wife closed the door, shamelessly enjoying the life of the newlyweds who needed to code every minute. Warehouse or something, subconsciously, he still feels that he lives in a time and space where as long as he has a mobile phone when he goes out, even if he buys pancakes, he can scan and pay for it.

Therefore, when she saw the thick booklets collected in the five major libraries, the princess of Qinghe County was stunned.

Are the clam shells open?

There are two Zhuangzi granted by the emperor outside the imperial city, dozens of large and small fertile fields, a hot spring Zhuangzi, and several shops located in various places in the imperial city.

The rest are all kinds of gold and silver jewellery, antique calligraphy and paintings, precious medicinal materials, silk, satin and cloth that were bestowed by the emperor, making Bai Chunsheng dizzy.

However, he was finally sure that he really married into a wealthy family...

"Sister-in-law, the shops here are all good. You can choose one that looks pleasing to the eye and open it. You don't need to find out what you want to do. Just let the people below do it, and you don't have to worry about them revealing your secret recipe." , these people in the palace are all listed slaves, if they dare to betray their master, just send them to officials." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pointed to several shops on the book.

In Bai Chunsheng's view, the valuable farm shop is not worth anything in their view. In fact, since his birth, almost every year, the concubine mother and concubine will allocate a part of the silver taels from the dowry output for He was doing business in various places, and the brochures Bai Chunsheng held in his hands were less than one percent of his net worth, which was why he encouraged Bai Chunsheng to open a shop.

Sister-in-law would definitely not want to take the initiative to give money and property. However, if sister-in-law opened a shop and had so many people under her command, as long as she had someone to take care of the business from time to time, not to mention getting rich overnight, the money she earned would be enough for sister-in-law and auntie. They accumulate some wealth.

"Forget it, let's go and see the shop tomorrow!" Bai Chunsheng suffered from laziness and suddenly didn't want to open a shop to make money.

What kind of shop does Nima open?He is now sitting on two imperial estates in the capital, one thousand acres of fertile land, one hot spring villa, and a number of prosperous shops in the prime area of ​​the capital... He has returned to the good life of eating and collecting rent in his previous life. He is only mentally ill. Will do business!

"Ah! I finally got back to being the second generation of dismantling... No! He should be considered married into a wealthy family and has reached the pinnacle of his life hahaha!" The princess of the county held the thick booklets happily and didn't want to let go.

Looking left and right, there are many large and small wooden boxes on the shelves around the inner warehouse, all of which are filled with their own precious gold, silver, jade, antiques and curios... Just selling two of them is enough for him to sleep comfortably. I've lived half my life.

Bai Chunsheng is not a person who works hard to get rich from the bottom of his heart. In his previous life, he got rich overnight by demolishing his family. He became a poor and impoverished wild little demon. Unexpectedly, when the times turned, Master Mao, who thought he belonged to the poor and lower-middle peasants like him, turned out to be the eldest son of His Majesty today!Even if he is a half-demon, if he can't stand him, he will be the emperor's father!In one night, he became a county king with a fief, a title and a salary. He became a relative, and all the civil and military officials of the court came to give gifts. It was simply... the standard routine of Jack Su Shuangwen!

Even with him, a wild river clam demon, he became the princess of the county. Every year, the imperial court will have a salary of 6000 taels of silver, plus New Year's rewards. , at least worth tens of thousands, right?

Thinking that he could get tens of millions of dividends every year without doing anything, Bai Chunsheng suddenly felt a little guilty. If he knew that the last time His Majesty officiated the wedding, he should have cooked more delicious dishes for His Majesty. This is their patron father!

Knowing that she would not be able to afford food with her current wealth, the princess of the county quickly ordered someone to buy a large basket of river crabs, and was going to cook a hearty meal for Saburo at night. When was it? However, Bai Chunsheng would not prevent Sanlang from going back. Mrs. Gong had suffered for half her life and was finally able to reunite with her son. Who would have the heart to separate their mother and son?

This season is actually not a good time to eat river crabs. The female crabs are not yet yellow, and the meat of the male crabs is not too much. However, who made this an imperial city?The royal family has always loved to eat all kinds of fresh seafood from the river, and the merchants also like it. In order to earn more money, most of the crab farmers feed the crabs in different seasons, so that the nobles who spend money like water can live in this scorching heat. You can also eat plump crabs in summer.

Of course, like all things that are sold out of season, crabs that are out of season are also ridiculously expensive. A three-two-weight river crab costs one tael of silver. How could the shopkeeper Bai be willing to buy such expensive crabs?

But now, the "wealthy daughter-in-law" Bai Chunsheng was holding the crab claw of a river crab, turned her head in disgust, and curled her lips: "Why are you so thin? Are there no bigger crabs? Are they looking down on our Qinghe County Prince's Mansion?"

"Princess forgive me! It's really... I went late today, and the bigger crabs were bought away. Tomorrow, I will take someone to pick the biggest crabs and bring them back! It's just the money..." The person in charge In the past few days, I have deeply understood the stinginess of this new master. He bought a fish and wanted to eat all the fish scales without wasting it. Why did the prince become so extravagant just after he went to war?Was it stimulated by something?

The prince, who was worried about the concubine's thought of going to war, felt depressed, and the manager simply wished that he would spend more money, so as to forget about the prince's expedition.

"That's all! I've eaten too many crabs, and my stomach is cold and cold. Tomorrow, people will go to the morning market to buy some prawns, and then buy some big fish with less spines and more meat. They also need to buy more than a dozen catties of dried shellfish. I'm useful if people get mad at me."

Although the river crab is not big, it can be considered edible. The river crab of this size is actually suitable for making meaty crab pot.

Bai Chunsheng’s family used to have a shop in front of the university, which was rented out to others to open a store to sell meat and crab pot. Because the ingredients used in crab pot are really delicious, the business is very hot. It costs 88 yuan for a large pot of meat and crab pot, plus two vegetarian dishes. It's enough for a few little girls to have a full meal. It's very affordable. Bai Chunsheng often goes to eat, and learns a few tricks from the kitchen master. Although he didn't learn the secret seasoning of fried crab, the taste is not bad.

Order the chef to remove the crab gills, crab intestines and other inedible parts of the river crab, slaughter and cut into pieces, heat the oil pan, add onion, ginger and garlic to sauté, pour in the crab and stir fry, add your own seasoning while frying, wait until the crab Stir-fry until the crab shells turn red, pour in the prepared chicken feet and goose feet, then pour in half a pot of water, cover the pot and simmer.

Chicken feet and goose feet are semi-finished products that have been prepared a long time ago. Wash the boiled chicken feet and goose feet, fry them in oil first, add spices and simmer, be careful not to cook them too badly, when the surface is almost golden yellow Take it out and save it.

At the end of the month, when the incense burns, the meat and crab stew is ready. When there is still some soup at the bottom of the pot, Bai Chunsheng puts out the crabs and chicken feet and goose feet, pours the soaked vermicelli into it, and cooks it with the soup. Boil the vermicelli, and finally pour it into the crab pot together, a large pot of red crabs, boiled chicken feet and goose feet until soft, and the vermicelli soaked in the soup, exuding a strong flavor of crab Fragrant.

His Royal Highness doesn't even want to go back to the palace.

"Your Highness, why don't you go back to the palace after dinner?" Bai Chunsheng looked at His Highness the Crown Prince with a smile.

"Then brother, I'd rather be respectful than obedient!" His Royal Highness sat down obediently, his beautiful round eyes never leaving the big pot of meat and crab stew for a moment.

Since he was a child, he has eaten all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, but this is the first time he has seen someone cook such delicious river crabs.

It is said that river crabs need to be steamed in water so that the meat is the most tender.However, in a different way, it looks so vulgar, and the chopped crabs are stacked together without aesthetics, entangled with vermicelli, chicken feet, and goose feet, but the taste is so rich and delicious.

If I don't stay for dinner tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night.

His Highness the Crown Prince licked his lips, quickly picked up the chopsticks, and stuffed a piece of crab into his mouth.

The delicious soup is very rich. After sucking the soup, the crab meat inside is soaked in the soup, and it has a richer and thicker taste than the steamed crab meat.

It was not the first time for Saburo to eat this kind of crab stew. Naturally, he knew that the ingredients inside were actually more delicious than the crab itself, so he picked up a goose paw with his first chopsticks.

The goose feet cooked with the delicious river crab absorb the deliciousness of the crab and the thick gelatin of the chicken feet, plus the gelatin itself, and it is full of emotions after one bite. It is so delicious!

His Royal Highness ate a piece of crab meat, raised his head, and saw his sister-in-law and Saburo gnawing on a big goose paw, and instantly knew that he had been fooled.

Only the cook knows which dish is the best, okay?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince decisively picked up three oversized goose feet and put them in his bowl.
