Chapter 008 Twice Cooked Pork with Garlic Sprouts
If you meet someone who is generous, don't care too much, but there will definitely be no extra preferential treatment in terms of food and clothing.
If you are petty-minded, it is common for you to be harsh on food and drink expenses.
Although the girl is favored by the second master, the men are out all day long and don't understand the twists and turns in the backyard. Crying once can make the second master make the decision, but you can't go to the second master to talk about everything. Most of them
Time can only endure.
At that time, if you have money in your hands, you can barely live a life. If you don't even have money in your hands, and you still have to watch the head of the house hand out monthly prescriptions, that would be really sad.
"Well, that's the truth." The more Mother Liu thought about it, the more she felt that what Ai Cao said made sense.
"Yes, that's what happened." Ai Cao raised her chin, "If Aunt Guo had not been able to live such a comfortable life before entering the house and win over a group of people, it would have been all because of the money in her pocket.
"
"I think it would be a great thing for the girl to earn more money to support herself. When the time comes, we will be in the yard and help the girl take care of herself, so we will feel confident."
If you have money in your pocket, you won’t panic!
Wormwood has always believed in this truth.
Mother Liu smiled and nodded, but then teased Ai Cao, "That's right, you can be considered smart."
"How can I do that? I've always had a bright mind." Ai Cao chuckled, "The truth is this, if you make enough money, even if the second master doesn't take our girl back in the future..."
That's something to rely on.
"Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about?"
Before Ai Cao could finish her sentence, Liu's mother quickly covered her mouth and said, "You curse girl."
No matter how much money you make, how can you have a better future by following the second master?
When Ai Cao heard what Liu's mother said, she also realized that what she said was wrong. She hurriedly pouted several times and stomped on the ground where she had just done it. Then she and Liu's mother continued to wash the dishes with peace of mind.
chopsticks.
Su Yujin, who was already asleep, didn't know the thoughts and calculations of the two people below. After waking up, she only looked at the various vegetables growing in the yard and planned what she wanted to cook that night.
After all, Mama Liu and Fuyunlou’s craftsmanship is really...
It's just enough to satisfy the hunger.
If you eat this kind of food every day, it will be really unbearable.
It's just that the cucumbers and tomatoes in the vegetable field are not yet mature. The only ones that are growing well are the two garlic sprouts and the small piece of spinach.
Su Yujin thought for a while, pulled out a few garlic sprouts, picked up some spinach, cut a handful of leeks, asked Mama Liu and Mugwort to wash them, and then ordered them to buy a piece of pork belly, bean paste, and some rice wine.
.
When the pork belly is cooked, add some rice wine, slice it into slices when cooked, stir-fry it with bean paste and lard until fragrant, and stir-fry garlic sprouts to make twice-cooked pork belly with garlic sprouts. It looks bright in color, smells fragrant, tastes fat but not greasy, and is fresh.
Spicy and beautiful.
Spinach is blanched and cut into sections, then mixed with fried peanuts, minced garlic, mature vinegar, etc. The old vinegar spinach removes the astringency of the spinach and leaves only the fragrance. Paired with the peanuts, it is tender and crispy.
Timely.
Fried eggs with leeks is a perfect home-cooked dish, but when frying, you need to fry the leeks first, and then pour the beaten egg liquid into a hot pot. The eggs fried in this way are tender and fragrant.
Perfectly blended with the unique spicy flavor of leeks.
After these three dishes were served, Ai Cao and Liu's mother nodded frequently at first, and then praised them after tasting them.
"This girl's craftsmanship is truly unparalleled," said Liu's mother.
"No, it's almost the same as what's made in a restaurant..." Ai Cao said mid-sentence and quickly changed his mind, "It's even more delicious than what's made in a restaurant. With this girl's skills, she can open a restaurant."
Talking unfavorably again!
It should be said that this skill will definitely be able to control the second master's stomach later on.
How can one have the decency to coax the second master to come to a restaurant?
Mother Liu secretly gave Ai Cao a fierce wink.
"You need to have the capital to open a restaurant. Now is not the time." Su Yujin pursed her lips and smiled, "Let's make more decisions when we have more money."
When Mama Liu heard this, she immediately trembled.
This girl really plans to expand her business...
----
Business at the wonton stall is business as usual.
The wontons are delicious, and the fried noodles are no less good. The business is as prosperous as the sun at this time.
Ai Cao works vigorously and resolutely. In the past two days, he has found several people suitable to work at the wonton stall. After discussing with Liu's mother, he finally brought Feng to Su Yujin and asked her to make a decision.
Su Yujin has been staying in Shuanggui Lane for so many months. She knows some of the people living in the alley, and she also knows their temperament.
Therefore, Su Yujin knew a little bit about the Feng family.
My father-in-law died young, and I have only one mother-in-law. My husband is the only child. He works as a boatman at the dock and does some lifting work. He has three children, two sons and one daughter. The eldest son is fourteen years old and has already followed him.
The husband goes to work on the dock, and the second daughter and the younger daughter are twins. They are ten years old and work at home making a living by pasting cake boxes for people.
Her mother-in-law, Ms. Zhang, suffered a stroke the year before last and was paralyzed in bed. She couldn't leave her mouth with soup and medicine. She also had two sons at home. There would be more places to spend money in the future, so Ms. Feng was naturally willing to find another way to make a living.
Mrs. Feng was an honest and hard-working person. She kept her home very clean inside and outside. The most important thing was that she always had a smile on her face, which made her quite lovable. Her neighbors had a good impression of her.
Su Yujin also had a good impression of Feng, so she nodded and decided to hire Feng to work at the wonton stall.
Responsible for cooking and wrapping wontons, and washing dishes after closing the stall.
The monthly salary is 500 Wen, the probation period is one month, and the probation period is 400 Wen.
The husband-in-law and the eldest son of the Feng family worked at the dock. The two of them together could only earn one tael of silver a month. She alone earned 500 cash, which was worth one person's labor. Moreover, she worked right in front of her house, and she was still alive.
Not too heavy.
Obviously she did not expect to receive such a large amount of wages, so Feng agreed happily, and repeatedly promised Su Yujin that she would do the job well, and even packed the green onions grown in the vegetable garden at home after returning home.
A basket came over and was stuffed into Mother Liu's hand.
"There's nothing I can use at home. Since it's a wonton stall, I think I can use these green onions, so I'll bring some over, and Aunt Liu will help me talk to Miss Su so that she doesn't dislike it."
She spoke sincerely, and being able to pay such a high salary to Mrs. Feng, the girl in her family also had a somewhat benevolent heart. Mother Liu said a few polite words, and did not refuse too much, so she just accepted it.
He turned around and said something to Su Yujin.
Su Yujin smiled and said, "He has a simple and honest personality."
"No, the bamboo basket is packed full, for fear of appearing dishonest." Mother Liu also agreed, "It depends on how the work goes. I will call someone over early tomorrow morning to learn first.
