Chapter 88
Thank you for your hard work, husband
Author: Mu Shenghua
All the mud in the wooden barrel has been cleared away, and fish and shrimp are now being raised in clean water. The other barrel is full of snails.
Cheng Huai held the wooden bucket containing the snails in his hand and looked at Jiang Miao, "Go to Shopkeeper Xiao?"
Jiang Miao looked at him, with a flash of joy in her eyes, "Cheng Huai, you know what I'm thinking in my heart right now."
"You are my wife." The man couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and pressed the straw hat on her head, "Let's go, let's get some sunshine later."
"Put the fish in the shop first, and we'll pick it up later." Anyway, you'll pass by the bun shop when you go back, so you can always carry it with you.
"good."
The two went to the inn, but Wan Qilin was the only one there, anxiously urging the kitchen to cook.
It's lunch time now. There are many customers outside and it's very busy inside.
The waiter took the two of them to the back and continued to serve food and tea.
After a while, Wan Qilin got free and came over to say hello.
"Miss Jiang and Brother Cheng are here. They were a little busy at noon and didn't entertain you well." Wan Qilin said a little embarrassed.
Jiang Miao shook her head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, good business is a good thing."
"Miss Jiang is here to deliver snails today?" Wan Qilin looked at the wooden bucket in Cheng Huai's hand, which was full of snails.
He frowned slightly, a little embarrassed, "Miss Jiang, this snail is not easy to get, and the customers don't order much."
There was a hint of rejection in the other party's tone, but it was expected.
Today when I was watching others catching fish by the pond, I realized that no one likes this snail very much. Although it also has meat, other meats are naturally more popular in comparison.
Jiang Miao said calmly: "I'm not selling, I just want to borrow a small stove to cook some vegetables. We haven't eaten lunch yet, can Brother Wan do it?"
"Xiao Zao, there is one at the back. I will take you there."
In stores, large stoves are used for cooking over high heat. Small stoves are too slow to cook, so they are generally not used.
There was no need to collect the snails, and Wan Qilin had a smile on his face again, "Miss Jiang only cooks, and you can use the vegetables on the side as you like. There is enough rice here."
The recipe Jiang Miao gave her before is now the signature dish of the store. Not to mention using some green vegetables, you can actually eat it directly in the store.
A meal doesn't cost much.
After confiscating the money handed over by Jiang Miao, Wan Qilin waved his hand and left.
Jiang Miao didn't hesitate. She and Cheng Huai fished out some snails and drained the water. Then they heated up the oil in a pot and stir-fried onions, ginger, garlic and chili peppers.
The reason why people don’t like this snail is that it takes time to eat, and it also has a fishy smell and is sandy.
Fortunately, the snails had been cleaned several times and the water changed at the bun shop. When the vegetables in the pot were fragrant, Jiang Miao poured the snails directly into it.
Seeing how hard it was to stir-fry the ginger seedlings, Cheng Huai took the spatula from her hand and said, "I'll stir-fry them, tell me."
"Just stir-fry again." Jiang Miao stood on the side and put salt, old wine and other seasonings into it.
When I saw that the lid of the snails had fallen off, I poured a large bowl of water into it, covered it with the lid of the pot on the side, brought it to a boil over high heat, and then stir-fried over low heat for a while. The fragrant and spicy smell filled the whole yard.
Jiang Miao couldn't help but sneeze and grabbed Cheng Huai's arm, "Cheng Huai, it's okay."
Cheng Huai smiled and took out the firewood from the stove and took a big bowl to put the snails in.
Jiang Miao calmed down the spicy smell that filled her nose, and chewed a poplar branch to eat the snails.
Pick it halfway, discard the tail at the back, put it in your mouth and chew it.
The meat of the snail is very delicious and elastic when chewed. Of course, the snail shell is the soul of this dish. The spicy and refreshing soup is very tasty.
Jiang Miao showed Cheng Huai how to eat it, and the man started eating it.
After eating several in a row, his eyes sparkled.
"Is it tasty?"
"Well, let's eat." Cheng Huai said seriously.
Wan Qilin had been attracted by the aroma for a long time. Seeing that Cheng Huai couldn't stop eating, he swallowed involuntarily.
The smell in this courtyard is too fragrant, and the guests who were dining in front were all asking about it.
Seeing Wan Qilin, Jiang Miao waved to him, "Second boss, come over and try it."
Miss Jiang is indeed a wonderful person. When discussing business, she calls her Xiaowange. When not discussing business, he becomes the second boss.
Wan Qilin burst into laughter, imitated the two people's eating methods, tasted a few, and couldn't help but smack his tongue.
It's so delicious that I want to eat it all, but it's a pity that it's not my own.
"Miss Jiang and Brother Cheng, go and sit in the front. I'll ask the boy to load you with rice and get you two side dishes."
Without refusing, the two of them went to the front to eat. Jiang Miao served a small bowl of snails to Wan Qilin.
Wan Qilin took it with a smile and quickly asked someone to share it with other guests.
Businessmen are very smart and they know what to do and what to say without saying anything.
Jiang Miao pulled Cheng Huai's sleeve and looked at him with a smile, "Hurry up, sir. You'll be busy later."
Cheng Huai pursed his lower lip, and his ears instantly felt hot.
The word "Xiangong" sounded really pleasant to the ear, so he buried his head in eating.
Jiang Miao didn't care about anything else. Halfway through the meal, Wan Qilin eagerly came over.
"Miss Jiang, we have something to discuss."
Cheng Huai put down his chopsticks, glanced at the rice in Jiang Miao's bowl, and whispered, "I'll fry it."
Wan Qilin was overjoyed and said, "Is it okay to make six liang of prescriptions each? The snails will also be harvested."
Cheng Huai said nothing and looked at Jiang Miao.
Jiang Miao had always known that the price of nine taels last time was for two dishes, but she didn't expect it to have gone up now.
"Okay, Brother Wan can send people to Shisong Village to collect snails. There have been many people picking them there in the past two days, so the price should be very cheap." Jiang Miao gave a suggestion.
"I'll go right away."
Jiang Miao was eating peacefully outside, while Cheng Huai went to the kitchen and fried the leftover snails.
The boy served Jiang Miao some tea and cakes from time to time, apparently on Wan Qilin's orders.
Platefuls of escargots were sent out, and Cheng Huai quickly came out from behind, sweat dripping from his forehead.
Jiang Miao poured tea for him, wiped his face with a handkerchief, and coaxed with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, sir. I will prepare delicious food for you when I get home."
"Not tired, are you tired?" Cheng Huai held her hand and curled his eyes.
Jiang Miao shook her head: "I've been resting, I'm not tired."
The snails are all finished, and we have to wait for someone to buy them for the next pot.
Wan Qilin gave the money to Jiang Miao with an admiring and grateful tone: "Thank you very much, Miss Jiang and Brother Cheng, for today."
Most people would definitely not be happy if they were rejected, not to mention that they could give him prescriptions without any hesitation later. He admired this kind of tolerance from the bottom of his heart.
Jiang Miao happily took the money and quickly stuffed it into Cheng Huai, "I also want to thank Brother Xiao Wan for the meals, tea and snacks."
"If Miss Jiang likes it, Brother Cheng and I can come here often." Wan Qilin said with a generous smile.
After a hearty meal, the snails and prescriptions were also sold. Jiang Miao and Cheng Huai went to the shop to get something and then returned to the village.
