"Potatoes, go to the shop on the street to see if today's chicken breasts have arrived. If not, buy yesterday's frozen chicken breasts." The young woman took out ten large coins and handed them to her son who heard the sound.

"Mom, what if you don't have any?" The little brother wasn't called Tudou originally, but it was changed later.

The young woman said: "There must be. If you don't have it, you can buy some chicken skin. The meat next to it is expensive, and you can't buy much for ten dollars. Your father's hometown is coming today, and I have to do something good. Go, don't delay. "

"Then if there is a penny left, it will belong to me. I want to eat melon seeds." The little brother ran to the door, suddenly remembered, and shouted loudly with a smile.

The woman inside didn't speak, so the little brother knew it was tacit consent.

He ran out of the alley and rushed all the way to the shop that had only opened in the county in the past few years.

The shop is not big. When it first opened, there were only potato flour, potato sticks and potato chips to eat, but the business has been very good.There are more kinds of things for sale now, and the chicken that was shipped from Dan County that day. Although the price is not very cheap, buying a piece of meat alone is much more cost-effective than buying a whole chicken.

"Is there any fresh chicken breast?" The little brother lay on the counter and looked inside.

The guy quickly raised his head and said with a smile: "Unfortunately, the fresh chicken breasts are gone today, and the frozen ones were gone yesterday, or you wait, the delivery guy should be here soon."

Only the first batch of fresh chicken is available every day. If it arrives late, it may not be available, but the second batch is still frozen, which can be sold for about half a day.The little brother thought for a while and said, "Then I'll wait."

The first batch of deliveries also included pre-marinated fried chicken nuggets, bread, potato chips, etc., all of which are the freshest.

Immediately, someone took the white money, and after a short wait, a guy fried the chicken on the spot, sprinkled it with sauce, and there was a big poached egg, two slices of bread with a vegetable leaf in the middle, wrapped in corn husks.

The little brother was drooling, he wanted to eat too, but he knew that his family didn’t have that much money. Although he lived in the county, his mother sewed clothes for others every day, and the money was limited every day. Dad was running a business outside, and he hadn’t had it for several months. met.

"The goods are here!"

The first ones were fast horses, and the second ones were carriages. Several huge wooden boxes were moved out of them, which felt cool to the touch.

The little brother lay on the counter and saw the guy inside open the wooden box, pry off the ice wrapped on it, and use wooden tongs to pick out large pieces of chicken breast, "How many pieces do you want?"

"Two yuan, you weigh it." The little brother said hastily.

In the end, I bought two pieces of chicken breasts, and there was a lot of money left. The little brother bought a handful of melon seeds, put them in his pocket, and ran home.

The two pieces of meat were made into many tricks in the hands of the ingenious woman, and they made two big dishes, three small dishes, and a soup, which was very respectable in the family of the county.

There are also some people who are reluctant to buy chicken, so they buy chicken skin and fry it in oil, or it is as delicious as deep-fried.

Even big families like to ask people to come to the shop to buy some chicken gizzards or chicken legs, etc. It is more convenient to go back to entertain guests and cook.

"Today we have braised chicken feet." When it was time for dinner, Liu Yaoqing and brother Zhezi went to the dining hall together, and when they saw a big pot of braised chicken feet, they were immediately happy.

"Brother Qing, do you want to eat?" Brother Zhezi asked.

The chicken feet from Dan County are not cheap either. Naturally, the chicken feet here in the dining hall are different from the usual rice dishes. They are limited. One person can only make two, and it also takes up a portion of the dish.

"Brother Zhezi, help me fight." Liu Yaoqing chuckled, so if he also beat chicken feet, he would have four of them.

Since Dan County sent out a lot of chicken every day, the number of chickens eaten in the dining hall has decreased. Chicken legs, chicken wings, etc. can only be eaten once a month, but chicken skin, chicken racks, etc. are often late .

This time there were chicken feet in the dining hall, Liu Yaoqing knew that the business of chicken feet outside was not so good.

Walking back after dinner, Liu Yaoqing pondered, "If the chicken feet are sold directly, the price is too low and no one will buy them. Only rich families will buy them for cooking, and other families should be more willing to buy meat .”

Chicken feet have only skin and not much meat. Although they are delicious, how can they compare to buying a large piece of chicken breast or chicken skin?

That's why the chicken feet can be squeezed so much, and a large pot is marinated in the dining hall as a dish.

"Let's just marinate all the chicken feet and sell them separately!" Liu Yaoqing said, "It's definitely better than selling the chicken feet individually. The price will be slightly higher, but you can sell them individually."

That's what I said, but at this time Dan County kills so many chickens every day, and there are more chicken feet. Guest recommendation.

After it is marinated, the color is shiny, and the taste is fragrant and numb. The taste is different, and it can be sold one by one.

"If you don't use the chicken feet as an extra head, it won't cost a lot of money." This is what the guys always ask when they bring things to others.

"Give me two to try."

"Okay." The guy immediately wrapped two chicken feet in corn husks and handed them over.

Not to mention, as a result, chicken feet became popular immediately, and some went to buy food specifically, even if the family was not very well-off, they could buy one or two for their children to satisfy their cravings.

Problem solved.

"The gift box must be prepared in advance, and the account books must be prepared in advance at the end of the year. I may not be able to come until the next year when I go back this time. If there is anything to do, Liu Qing can usually handle it." Liu Yaoqing summoned the The stewards held a meeting, "Everyone work harder, if you do well, you might be able to go to Linhai, to the island."

"Brother Qing, isn't our Dan County not recruiting people in the near future?" After saying this, the steward asked other questions.

"Dan County has no shortage of people for the time being." Liu Yaoqing said, "Those who want to work and travel far can go to Linhai for a try, and there will be a chance to go to the island."

The stewards were a little moved, but they were all very important at this time, and they couldn't leave Dan County at will, and it depended on Liu Yaoqing's arrangements. As for the people waiting outside to work, they were all moved after hearing the news.

Liu Yaoqing and Brother Zhezi came out from Dan County and brought a lot of stewed chicken feet. They ate one when they had nothing to do on the road, and they also ate one when they ate. No matter how much they ate, they never got tired of eating it.

Go to the seaside to change boats to Linhai.

The towering walls, the huge pier, and the people coming and going on it can see the sea from a long distance away.

Not far from both sides of the huge seafront, there is a separate enclosed area with a very tall wooden tower. Every night, there will be special people going up to light the bonfire, and there will be guards all night long.

Some people didn't understand why, and Liu Yaoqing didn't explain it. It wasn't until a long time later, when the boat started sailing at night, that everyone knew that the seemingly inconspicuous two piles of bonfires could point a way to the boundless sea in the dark. road to shore.

"This kind of fish is marinated with salt and sugar, and it's delicious after being baked." Liu Yaoqing said, "Brother Zhezi, you should try it too. It doesn't have any fishy smell, and it tastes a little sweeter."

This was mentioned by Liu Yaoqing a few months ago, and the people in the dining hall thought it out again.

Because everyone thinks the taste is very good, the fish caught from the sea will be very bad if left for a long time, so they are all baked like this. At this time, the warehouse has accumulated a lot.

"This year's New Year's gift box should be added with this." Liu Yaoqing said, "I reckon there will always be something I like to eat, and eating this is also good for the body."

"Go back and talk to the stewards." Brother Zhezi said, "I think they really found the dish you mentioned from the sea, do you want to go and have a look?"

"En." Liu Yaoqing also saw it.

There is an edible vegetable in the sea, which looks like enlarged leaves when it is in the sea.After you take it out, you will find that the leaves are very large, the roots are relatively thick, and the roots are slightly thinner, and the taste is very special.

The leaves are on the other side of the dining hall, and they are already a little dry in the sun.

Liu Yaoqing picked it up and smelled it, and said: "It's exactly this, it looks like a scallop, and it's from the sea, so it's called kelp. You can eat this fried meat, cold salad, or stewed meat."

"There is a large area a little farther from our place." Brother Zhen just heard this when he came out of the big dining hall. "There are some people who are very hungry and will pick up food, but they can't fill their stomachs."

"This thing is a vegetable, it's definitely not good to eat as a meal." Liu Yaoqing said, "Why don't we try some at noon?"

"I'll find someone to arrange it right away," Brother Zhen said.

Brother Zhen came from Dan County, and he took charge of Linhai's dining hall as soon as he came. He was one of the most important managers and had a high status in Linhai.This time, I went to the dining hall to arrange it neatly, and then a brother came out with a wooden basin and picked some fresh kelp back.

Cut into thin strips and eat with stir-fried meat, cold salad, or marinated, and eat in different ways.

The taste should be crispy but not soft, and the taste is different from the green vegetables grown in the ground, but there is basically no dislike.

Liu Yaoqing himself really likes to eat it, he thought for a while and said, "Arrange some people to pick kelp over there, and ask the nearby villages if it can be grown. From now on, we will eat it at least twice a month in Linhai."

He knew in his heart that kelp was a good thing and could supplement some trace elements, but he couldn't explain it clearly to the people here.After thinking about it for a few days, Liu Yaoqing simply used the name of her little fairy again, saying that eating this would prevent a disease.

If you say it like this, no one doubts it, even those who have never eaten it will eat it once.

Liu Yaoqing also specially took some dried kelp, and planned to bring it back to Shanggu Village, so that everyone on the mountain could taste it.

The weather is getting colder and colder, the wind is blowing, and it is about to snow, and the wind is even stronger near the sea.The room is still warm, but if you don't mind when you go out, you must let the wind blow away.

Liu Yaoqing nestled on the kang and looked out through the window, said with fingers, "Brother Zhezi, have you finished writing the letter?"

Brother Zhezi put on a jacket and took a writing brush. After writing the letter, he handed it over to Liu Yaoqing.Liu Yaoqing took the opportunity to touch brother Zhezi's hand, it was warm, and it was not at all the same as her cold hand.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Yaoqing said: "It's what I thought, let's send it out."
