Chongxi husband and wife who are sick

Uncle Chen and Aunt Zhou were a little nervous. It was their first time making braised vegetables, and it was the first time they bought so many vegetables. If the taste was not good, it would be a waste.

When they arrived in the county town, they made up their minds to buy a few pieces of pork, some of the fat ones and some of the thin ones. It cost them tens of pennies, the meat they would not normally eat.

Uncle Chen’s family is better, he has a donkey cart to add income to the family, and there are only him and his wife in the family, but Aunt Zhou’s family is different, her family has a silly son, and the old couple are old, so they have to support Zhou Xiaozhuang. Keep more money, so that they won't be lost after a hundred years.

In addition to meat, they also bought some other vegetables, such as lotus root, potatoes, bean sprouts, dried tofu, etc. They didn’t buy much of the others. Other vegetables can be marinated, but they can grow them in the field, so There is no need to buy, such as radishes and the like.

"Old Chen, I'm a little worried." At this time they were washing vegetables, the dustpan was put aside, there were all the vegetables they had washed, lotus roots and potatoes were put aside, dripping with water, it was very gratifying , "What if the taste of the marinade is not good?"

I was too excited before, but now I calm down and realize what kind of consequences I will bear if I don't succeed.

Uncle Chen can understand Aunt Zhou, Zhou Xiaozhuang was helping to light the fire in the house, his innocent voice sounded inside, why brother Si Yun wanted less fire, and brother Feng Heng needed to prepare more materials, after more than ten years, Zhou Xiaozhuang Will laugh silly, don't understand anything.

"It's okay, if it doesn't taste good, we can just eat it ourselves." Uncle Chen took two puffs of his cigarette, "Just treat it as Chinese New Year, we haven't eaten good ones for several years, Xiao Zhuang has lost weight, these dishes As a Chinese New Year treat, this year Hengzi and Ayun are married, what a happy event!"

After hearing this, Aunt Zhou wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her thin hand, and let out a sigh.

Their voices were not loud outside, but Siyun and Feng Heng heard them. They had just prepared the condiments and wanted to ask Aunt Zhou and Uncle Chen to come in to see them and imitate them, but they heard this passage.

Si Yun wasn't angry that Aunt Zhou would think that way, after all, she was burdened, so it's normal to think more.At the same time, he also became more determined to help Aunt Zhou and the others improve their lives. Si Yun felt uncomfortable seeing such a good person living in such a bad way, while such a disgusting person from the Feng family was living a good life.

The taste of lo-mei will definitely be very good. He bought the secret recipe of lo-mei with a lot of money from a century-old store. The business of that store is also good. Every day he wants to buy it. There is a long queue, and no one will arrive if you wait for an hour.Si Yun can eat in high-end hotels, and he can also go to roadside stalls. In the past, he used to go out and line up every day in order to eat that braised meat once.

It was a store outside his university. After graduating from university, it would be inconvenient to queue up again.So he went to the shopkeeper and asked if he could buy the secret recipe, and he promised not to sell it and stalk him so hard that he bought the secret recipe.

However, Si Yun has never done it a few times, because there are too many materials prepared in the early stage, he is lazy, and the taste is still quite different from that in the store. If he wants to eat later, he still has to queue up to buy it honestly. Seeing him queuing up to buy food, I couldn't help laughing. Finally, I kindly gave him some prepared marinade, which was considered a solution.

Recalling what happened back then, Si Yun was a little funny, and there was nostalgia in his eyes.

I don't know if the shopkeeper still remembers him. There should be a lot of news about his car accident at that time. Maybe he already knew that he was in a vegetative state.

"Ayun?" Feng Heng pulled La Siyun's hand.Si Yun smiled, "It's nothing, let's go, ask Aunt Zhou and the others to come in for the seasoning, and the lo mei will be theirs from now on, they have to come in and learn how to make it."

In Si Yun's words, there was an expectation that Feng Heng could not understand.

I don't know who made the taste that Aunt Zhou and the others made better than what he made back then.

"Auntie, Uncle Chen, we can start now." Si Yun said with a smile.

Uncle Chen and Aunt Zhou responded, and quickly picked up the dustpan and walked in.The condition of Aunt Zhou’s house is similar to that of Feng Heng’s house. The kitchen is also very dark. For this stewed vegetables, they specially lit several kerosene lamps. They brought all the kerosene lamps from the three families, just to be able to see the cooking process clearly. .

Si Yun motioned to Feng Heng, and Feng Heng put a lamp by his hand.At his hand, there are many seasonings in bowls, roughly counting, there are at least a dozen kinds, the chili is not ground into powder this time, Feng Heng can explain.

"This is pepper, which is edible. It came from the sea, and we put a lot of it in the hot pot, so it's spicy." Feng Heng said, "It came from the sea, and there is a plant in the general's place. I brought some back and planted some on the mountain.”

It's been so long since Feng Heng came back, the chili peppers will almost bear fruit if planted.Anyway, Aunt Zhou and the others don't know, so they don't need to go into details.

Uncle Chen and Aunt Zhou nodded, very surprised. No wonder they didn't know why the hot pot was so spicy. It turned out that it was because of the pepper.

"Let's prepare the marinade bag first, put the prepared condiments into the bag and tie them up, and then put them in the water to boil." Si Yun said, "Now we will cut the condiments, and the star anise and cinnamon will be used for a penny each. Fennel, licorice, and cloves are half a qian each, ginger is two qian, green onions are five, wine is two tablespoons, pepper is half a qian."

What is written in the secret recipe is how many grams. In order for Uncle Chen and the others to understand, Si Yun changed the amount according to the needs. Fortunately, they need more brine, so the ingredients will not be too much.

While grabbing the seasoning from the bowl, Si Yun took out a specially sewn small burlap bag and put them in it, "This marinade bag can be boiled after we fry the sugar and add water."

Aunt Zhou and Uncle Chen stared at his movements intently, seeing all his movements clearly and remembering them in their minds, watching all kinds of condiments put into cloth bags, usually cooking with soy sauce and vinegar They deeply realized why this secret recipe is so precious. Just those condiments, spices, and medicinal materials, which they usually don't think about, are also a kind of condiments.

The dishes made with such stewed ingredients will definitely not be bad.

"Then fry the sugar to add color and taste, add an appropriate amount of oil, and wait until the oil is [-]% hot, then add ice and maltose." In this era, there is no rock sugar, only maltose, which is maltose. "When the maltose is fried, add The prepared ginger, garlic and scallions, after frying, add an appropriate amount... four scoops of water, then put the prepared seasonings in, and it's over."

While talking, Si Yun threw the spice packet down, and then covered the pot.

The seasoning package floated on top of the water when it was thrown into the water. It was a small package, it was unbelievable that this was the secret recipe they placed high hopes on.

Aunt Zhou blinked, "Is this all right?"

"No." Si Yun said with a smile, and told Zhou Xiaozhuang to continue to increase the heat, "We have to wait for the water to boil and then cook slowly on a low heat. The marinade is good when the fragrance is cooked. Auntie, uncle, don't think it's boiled." It takes a long time, but as long as it is cooked well, it can be used many times, and the taste of old ingredients is better and more mellow than new ones.”

"Oh." Uncle Chen didn't understand, so he nodded repeatedly.

Si Yun smiled, asked Zhou Xiaozhuang to add some more firewood, and asked them to go out and wait outside.He took out a bag of melon seeds and said to them: "Waiting is a waste of time. Let's crack some melon seeds and rest for a while, and light a fire in the kitchen. It's very hot."

Aunt Zhou and Uncle Chen were very anxious, but they had to wait.

Not long after, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Chen also came. Uncle Zhou put the hoe away and drank a big mouthful of water. Aunt Chen brought an earthen pot, saying that Aunt Zhou’s earthen pot might not be able to hold all the brine in a while. The pots in the countryside are all used for cooking. If the pots cannot be vacated, they will not be able to eat.

Seven people sat around in the yard of Aunt Zhou's house, eating melon seeds and waiting. After a few moments of planting, a strong fragrance gradually spread from the kitchen, overflowing the whole yard with domineering force. I'm afraid you could smell it if you stood at the door. See that smell.

"Why, why is it so fragrant." Aunt Zhou took a big sniff, her cloudy eyes widened, "It's so fragrant, I've never smelled such a fragrance before."

Si Yun was also surprised, the smell was better than the one he made before, probably because his technique has improved.

When everyone smelled that smell, their hearts became calm at once. The atmosphere was a little dignified just now, but now they relaxed, chatting with each other, talking about the work in the field, and more about how to sell the stewed vegetables after a while. Yun and Feng Heng were experienced, so they helped set the price.

A group of people were talking and laughing, and suddenly someone knocked on the door.

A head poked in from the door, swallowed, and asked, "Aunt Zhou, is there any happy event in your family? How did you make so many delicious food? It smells so good."

"Chen San, it's nothing, I just made some food." Aunt Zhou stood up, clutching the apron and said.

Chen Quan rolled his eyes around and laughed, "Aunt Zhou, the food in your house smells so good, can you give me a bowl later, I'll exchange other dishes with you."

How about that? They made it and sold it. Aunt Zhou was a little anxious, but she didn't know how to refuse Chen San.Chen San was as good as Feng's family in Feng's village, he was a rascal, he wanted to take advantage of any family, and he couldn't do it if he didn't give it.

"Chen San, this food is made by my aunts to sell. You also said that it tastes good. They can sell some money if they sell it. You can eat it if you want, just give the money, as long as you give enough money, if you want Eat as much as you want." At this moment, Si Yun stood up.

Poor Chen San has been domineering for so many years, and today he finally kicked the iron plate.

Chen San glared at Si Yun, "Feng Heng's family, I'm talking to Aunt Zhou, what are you talking about?"

"Chen San, are you a man? Is it interesting to bully an old woman? Your face is as thick as a city wall, right? Who told you that I can't interrupt. Ask your aunt if she has any opinions." Si Yun sneered, Not afraid at all.

Chen San looked at Aunt Zhou, and saw Aunt Zhou turned her head to the side, as if she really let Si Yun get ahead.He gritted his teeth, snorted hard, turned and left, "You can do it!"

Aunt Zhou looked at Si Yun worriedly, "Ah Yun, in order to get ahead today, your reputation in Fengjia Village will be even worse."

Si Yun didn't care, "Anyway, I don't care about them, and I don't care if my reputation is good or not. Besides, since the day I fell out with the Feng family, my reputation has not been good. Don't worry."

Then he smiled, walked into the kitchen, and said, "Auntie, it's time for us to order."

Everyone was reminded by Si Yun, only then did they realize that the smell of stewed ingredients was already very strong, and it was time to order the dishes.Everyone laughed and forgot about the unpleasant episode just now.

After the marinade is cooked, the rest is to cook directly, as long as it is cooked.Before cooking, they tasted the marinated ingredients, and everyone was overwhelmed by the smell. It was delicious, spicy, and extremely thick. The aroma fell down the throat and directly into the stomach, occupying every corner.

It's delicious, and you can imagine how delicious the dish will be when it's cooked.

Pork is served first, followed by lotus root, radish and potatoes. Every time a dish is cooked, they pick it up and put it in a dish bowl to drain. The stewed vegetables can be eaten hot or cold, so it is not necessary I'm worried that it won't taste good when it's cold.

There are not many dishes prepared this time, but they can't be cooked all at once, so it still took a little time.There were still a few dishes cooking in the pot, and everyone decided to taste them. Aunt Zhou and the others were a little nervous, but Si Yun didn't have that concern. He picked up a knife and cut a small piece, and put it in his mouth.

"Well, it's delicious!" Squinting his eyes, Si Yun exclaimed in amazement, "It's almost the same taste as the one I ate before, hurry up, try it too."

Aunt Zhou swallowed, tremblingly cut off a small piece of meat, but didn't give it to herself, but sent it to Zhou Xiaozhuang's mouth.Zhou Xiaozhuang burned the fire all afternoon, and his face was dirty. He probably knew that he had some problems. He thought that the fire could be of some value, so he didn't allow other people to help him. Others would be impatient when they burned him.

The white and tender young man's face was black and white, he opened his mouth, ate the meat with a whimper, then opened his eyes wide, and said vaguely: "It's delicious, mother, it's delicious!"

Zhou Xiaozhuang had brain problems, and his IQ was equivalent to a child of seven or eight years old. He danced and danced with joy, which was quite funny, but the people present didn't think it, but laughed with joy and gave him another piece of meat.

"It's delicious, eat more!"

In the evening, everything was finally ready.Uncle Chen's donkey cart went out with the carriage that Si Yun and the others rented, and Aunt Zhou was also leading the cart. Other than that, there were baskets containing meat, linen, and a steelyard, which would be easy to weigh when selling vegetables. Si Yun In their car are the vegetables they got out of the space to make hot pot and Malatang. Of course, it is said that they bought them from other places.

The group of people went out, and the villagers in Fengjia Village saw it. For a while, some people pointed at their car, some were curious, and some were gossiping.

Aunt Zhou was not used to this kind of atmosphere, so Uncle Chen patted her hand, whipped her hand, and the donkey cart ran away immediately.Si Yun glanced at the gossiping villagers, and with a whip, the carriage drove away.

After half an hour, everyone entered the city and arrived at Si Yun's shop.When they arrived, the owner of the store next door greeted Si Yun and the others, "You two young bosses, you are finally here. Why didn't I see you open a store at noon today, and there are not so many customers."

"I have a lot of things to prepare today, so I came late, sister Li, it will open in a while, and I will give you a bowl of Malatang for a change."

The shop next door sells pancakes and snacks. When many customers are waiting in front of Si Yun's shop, some customers will buy food from her, and Sister Li can also earn some money.Si Yun's business is good and there are many people, so it is inevitable that they will occupy a place in the nearby shop, so giving a bowl or two of Mala Tang is considered a relationship.

A group of people entered the store and began to prepare.Uncle Chen and the others were preparing to sell stewed vegetables at a stall, and Si Yun and Feng Heng would wash the vegetables.Uncle Chen and the others prepared quickly, and they only needed to set up a table, so they came to help Si Yun and the others wash the vegetables, chatting while doing the washing.

"Hengzi, did you see those people in the village just now?" Aunt Zhou was still affected, so she couldn't help talking about the eyes of those villagers just now, "You said that if Lao Chen and I made money, there would be opinions in the village. what to do?"

Si Yun washed a piece of cabbage and put it away, and said, "Auntie, don't worry about this matter, Feng Heng and I have plans."

"What's the plan?" Aunt Zhou asked.

Feng Heng said: "Ah Yun thought of this before, so we already have a plan. We all know that we can't be too lonely in the village, if we are too lonely, we can't survive. We can leave the village and live, but you and us If we get closer and we leave, it is inevitable that you will be implicated, so Ayun thought, select a few good-natured households from the village, and sell them some secret recipes, so that those people will not be so jealous On us, even if they are jealous, those people will not agree."

Money is the lifeblood, who would have trouble with money, generally speaking, they need allies on their side to live in the village safely, even if Si Yun and Feng Heng leave Fengjia Village someday Aunt Zhou and Uncle Chen will not be targeted.

Uncle Chen stopped smoking, "Hengzi, this recipe is so good, how can I give it to them."

Uncle Chen suffered some hardships in his early years, and he didn't have much affection for the people in the village.

"Uncle Chen, of course this secret recipe will not be given away for nothing, it must be sold. As for the price, we will wait and see." Si Yun smiled, he would not let himself suffer, and he would not have done so if he hadn't been too lonely. "Now that we've talked about this, uncle and aunt, do you have any good candidates?"

Candidates... Uncle Chen smoked his cigarette and said: "I have a few candidates for this, just those who helped you at that time, you can get a point for sealing the second son Feng Yuncheng's family, you don't have to worry about the Xiaoshan family After that, I will hand over the braised ingredients to him, Liu Guo's family, and among those neutral people in the village, there is a good family, Mr. Liu's family, and then the village chief's family, although the village chief is very good. He can wink, but he is the village chief after all, so he has to take a share anyway. The son of the village chief is also okay, and it will be fine when his son becomes the village chief in the future."

What Uncle Chen said basically covers people with different positions in Fengjia Village. Although there are no people who support Fengjia, but they can win over the village head's family, then it will be fine.

Si Yun realized the situation that Aunt Zhou said, discussed it with Feng Heng, and also did not let the village chief down.

"Okay, when I go back tonight, Feng Heng and I will find out the secret recipe, and then call people over to see if they want it."

It is definitely necessary, such a good thing, who can not want it.

"By the way, Hengzi, Ayun, I still have something to say." Aunt Zhou said again.

"What?" Si Yun was puzzled.

"It's about Feng Yunjun's gambling."

Si Yun stopped what he was doing, Aunt Zhou sighed and said, "Auntie knows that you made Feng Yunjun like that in order to get revenge on the Feng family, but you have to have a bottom line in life, you made him a gambler, his The future is ruined, but what if he kidnaps children for gambling in the future? Everyone in our village may suffer, and the Feng family may fight with you."

Aunt Zhou didn't sympathize with Feng Yunjun, but she was afraid of what would happen next.

After hearing this, Si Yun was silent for two seconds, and said, "Auntie, if I really want Feng Yunjun to become a gambler, then I won't come out in the end. Feng Yunjun will make so much money and lose so much money." If he has a lot of money, he will gamble because he thinks his luck is very good. After I appeared, Feng Yunjun knew that everything was designed by me. Feng Yunjun is not stupid, on the contrary, he is still a little smart. If he cares about his future, he will not gamble."

What Si Yun said was true. When he was in the Chunyue Pavilion, if he didn't show up in the end, then Feng Yunjun would think that he had a bit of talent for gambling, and he might gamble again later, but when he showed up, Feng Yunjun You will know that everything is the whole set.

People who can be admitted to the scholar are smarter than others. Si Yun believes that he will not gamble again, and he will tremble when he sees the gambling house.

Even if Feng Yunjun wants to gamble, he still has some friendship with the gambling house. When he goes to say hello, the people in the gambling shop will not take Feng Yunjun in.

At first Si Yun thought that Feng Yunjun would become a real gambler, but later he changed his mind.At that time, he didn't want to understand why, but now he understands that maybe that is the bottom line of his life.

The opponent may not have a bottom line, but he must have a bottom line.

In the evening, Sifeng Hot Pot opened for business. As soon as it opened, many customers were waiting in front of the door. The boss said yesterday that it would open at noon today, but they came to wait at noon, but no one was there. Fortunately, it opened in the afternoon.As soon as the store door opened, two waves of people rushed in.

One wave eats hot pot, another wave eats spicy soup.

"Boss, you really made us wait. I ate your Malatang yesterday, and I was waiting for lunch today, but you didn't open the door at noon."

Si Yun laughed, "So we opened the door in the afternoon, it was our fault, our fault, brother, this vegetable should be an apology."

"Haha, then thank you very much."

Feng Heng in the shop was also dragged to talk, Feng Heng's voice was low and high, and he also sent a small bowl of vegetables to make amends, and the hot pot restaurant became lively for a while.

Uncle Chen and Aunt Zhou's shop is next to Malatang, they are a little cramped, and they don't know how to sell. Seeing that Si Yun's business is so good, they feel a little proud, but also a little apprehensive.

"Old Chen, we, what are we called?" Aunt Zhou said.

Uncle Chen thought for a while, covered his mouth and coughed twice, opened his mouth, brewed for a while, and raised his voice: "We are selling stewed vegetables, delicious and fragrant stewed vegetables are sold at a low price!"

There were a lot of guests, so Uncle Chen's voice could not be heard very far.

When Aunt Zhou saw it, she yelled, "We're selling stewed vegetables, delicious and fragrant stewed vegetables are cheap!"

The two shouted at the same time, and finally got their voice out.

Someone in front of Si Yun heard it, glanced to the side, and asked Si Yun with a smile, "Boss, is that stall yours too?"

"Brother, that's not our stall. But we made the lo mei together, and it's delicious. If you believe me, you can buy some and try it. I guarantee you won't suffer." Si Yun replied with a smile.

"Okay, brother will believe you once." After hearing this, the man put the cooked Mala Tang on the table and went to the lo-mei stall, "Uncle, how do you sell this lo-mei?"

"Brother, this vegetarian dish costs six Wen a catty, the price is the same, and the pork is 35 Wen a catty, what do you think?"

Vegetarian dishes cost six renminbi a catty, fully doubled, but in addition to three renminbi cabbage, there are also more expensive lotus root and potatoes, and cooked, the price is not too expensive, and the pork is the same , anyway, cheaper than in restaurants.

The man thought for a while, then said, "Weigh a catty of vegetables for me."

Try something vegetarian first, if it tastes good, then buy meat.

"Hey, that's fine!" Uncle Chen replied, he quickly picked up some food and weighed it by a catty, then put it in a paper bag for him, "It's a full catty, it's ready!"

Holding the stewed vegetables, the man returned to his seat. He didn't eat Malatang first, for fear that he might not be able to taste the stewed vegetables.Picking up a piece of food with chopsticks, the man ate it, and his eyes widened after he ate it.

It’s not that no one sells lo mei in the county, but most of those lo mei are heavy in salt, and there is no extra flavor except salty, but the lo mei in this store is not only salty but also spicy, and in addition to spicy, there is numbness. With such a strong taste, there is still a little bit of sweetness. Multiple flavors overlap and explode in the mouth, which is simply a full-bodied and extreme taste feast.

In a word, delicious!

too delicious!

He quickly put all the stewed vegetables into his mouth, stood up and was about to buy them, but when he looked around, he found that there were many people around the stewed vegetables stand, and he was not the only one who found the gold. The man smacked his lips, and finally sat down again, eating Malatang.

Forget it, because those people haven't eaten, he won't try to grab it.

In addition to the hot and spicy dishes on the outside, there are also a lot of braised hot pot dishes inside. Plate after plate was sent in, and it didn't take long for them to be sold out.Then Uncle Chen and Zhou Shen hurriedly explained that they would continue to sell them tomorrow, and those customers dispersed.

Then they went to help Si Yun and Feng Heng with the hot pot restaurant. With their help, the pressure on Si Yun and Feng Heng dropped sharply.

They didn't close until seven or eight o'clock, and then went to the vegetable market to buy a lot of vegetables before returning home. Uncle Chen and Aunt Zhou sold them so fast today. Just like doing business once, the dishes are less prepared.

This time they bought a lot more, more than twice what they bought at noon, and there was a lot more meat in it.

"We thought meat was expensive, and maybe no customers bought it, but we didn't expect it to be sold out."

Si Yun smiled and said: "Uncle, Aunt, the county is no better than the village. There are more rich people. As long as the food is well cooked, it can be sold no matter how expensive it is."

Uncle Chen smiled and took a big drag on his cigarette, "That's right."

Under the moonlight, the carriage and donkey cart went back to Fengjia Village again.

This time Si Yun and Feng Heng bought their own carriage, and they drove their own carriage, but because there was no second part, they first made a board like a donkey cart and used it first, Feng Heng drove in front, Si Yun lay on the back to rest.

There were a lot of vegetables in the back of the donkey cart and the horse cart, a lot of vegetables, and a lot of meat. There were so many vegetables and meat, it was like Chinese New Year.Because there is no cover, the dishes on the board can be seen at a glance. When I returned to the village, I was seen by the villagers of Fengjia Village who hadn't returned home.

The villagers thought of how they went out in the afternoon, and Chen Quan said that Aunt Zhou's house made delicious food, and they were shocked when they saw their appearance.

In less than the next day, Aunt Zhou and Uncle Chen went into business with Feng Heng Siyun and the others, and the news of making money spread throughout Fengjia Village.
