Chapter 5 The Yu Family Makes Trouble
Father Yu was immediately frightened. He snorted and shook off Yu Qingzhi. He snorted reluctantly and left in dejection.
He Lianjun quickly supported Yu Qingzhi with quick eyes and hands, and said in a deep voice: "Are you okay?"
Yu Qingzhi shook her head and said, "It's okay."
"I'll chop it, you just need to pay." He Lianjun washed his hands and took the kitchen knife from Yu Qingzhi's hand.
He is a pig butcher, and chopping meat is no problem.
Soon, one collected the money and the other cut the meat, and dozens of bowls of braised pork were sold.
At this moment, a carriage suddenly drove over slowly and stopped at the door of He's house.
A handsome and tall young man stepped out of the carriage. He was dressed in rich clothes and looked rich or noble.
The villagers in Qingshui Village couldn't help but look at the young man curiously.
Even He Lianjun's eyes flashed with a look of shock.
The young man just glanced at He Lianjun, then suddenly walked to the braised pork pot in front of Yu Qingzhi and said: "It's so fragrant, can I have a taste?"
He Lianjun cut some and handed it to him.
After the young man took a bite, he was immediately shocked and said in a loud voice: "It's delicious! It's so delicious! I didn't expect that this mountain valley could have such delicious food! I smelled it just now from afar, and I've been looking for it.
Come over here!”
"Want to buy meat? Three cents a bowl." Yu Qingzhi hurriedly promoted.
However, the young man looked at Yu Qingzhi and said: "I am a businessman, and I am planning to open a restaurant. I need a signature dish. Your meat is so fragrant that it won my heart. I want to buy your recipe.
How about a hundred taels of silver?"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding villagers immediately became excited.
Oh my god, one hundred taels of silver!
Isn’t this He family making a fortune?
This is so lucky!
"This distinguished guest, if we want to buy the formula, we have to discuss it in detail. Come in with me." He Lianjun looked at the young man and said immediately.
The young man nodded and followed He Lianjun in.
Yu Qingzhi also wanted to listen, but the remaining villagers had not bought the meat yet, so they stopped her one after another and said: "Daughter-in-law Lian Jun, if you sell this recipe, will you not be able to continue braised meat! I haven't eaten it yet.
It’s here! Give me two bowls quickly!”
"I want three bowls!"
"I want three bowls too!"
Yu Qingzhi had no choice but to continue selling meat.
Soon, after a large pot of braised pork was sold out, Yu Qingzhi tidied up and walked into the house.
The villagers were curious and continued to watch the fun while holding the meat.
"One hundred taels of silver, this is an agreement, what do you think?" Seeing Yu Qingzhi return, He Lianjun put away the strange look in his eyes and asked.
"Do you really want to open a restaurant?" Yu Qingzhi looked at the young man and said with a frown.
The young man glanced at He Lianjun without any trace. After getting his permission, he patted his chest and said, "Of course I want to open a restaurant! Are you not satisfied with the price? If not, we can continue to talk."
However, Yu Qingzhi shook his head and said: "No, this price is okay, but pig water cannot be served on the table. If it is a bit lacking as the restaurant's signature dish, I can sell you another recipe called Su Zao
The meat is also made from pig offal, but it is taller and bigger than braised."
Hearing that Yu Qingzhi actually had other dishes, the young man's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "I'll trouble you, but how does this Su Zao Meat taste?"
"This is easy to do. I'll ask my husband to cut the meat and cook it for you to try. If you think it's okay, then I'll teach you." Yu Qingzhi said with a smile.
The man kept saying: "That's a good relationship! Then I'll help you sister-in-law. By the way, my name is Zhu Tianci."
He Lianjun did look older than him, and when people called her sister-in-law, it was also an honorific title, but Yu Qingzhi didn't take it to heart.
"Lian Jun, you go get another pig in the water and come back. I'll steam the rice first." Yu Qingzhi felt much better after thinking of the one hundred taels of silver, and looked at He Lianjun with a smile.
He Lianjun's eyes darkened a bit, he looked at Yu Qingzhi deeply, moved his Adam's apple, and finally just nodded and said: "Okay."
Soon, He Lianjun brought back the pig sewer that Yu Qingzhi asked for, and took the initiative to help Yu Qingzhi clean it up.
Yu Qingzhi started making Su Zao Rou.
Although this Su Zao pork is also made from pig offal, it requires the use of more than ten kinds of Chinese medicines. The Su Zao soup cooked with these Chinese medicines is the key to this dish.
While He Lianjun was out, Yu Qingzhi had already redeemed the medicinal materials in the system.
The recipe of this suzao soup has more than ten flavors, which vary according to the seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, but the varieties are all cloves, cinnamon, amomum villosum, licorice, cardamom, broadleaf bark, etc.
Add the spices to the old soup used to braise the meat, blanch the cleaned pig offal, and cook it with firewood for a while. Finally, simmer the meat in the old soup according to the degree of tenderness.
Until the color of the old soup turns red, cook for ten minutes and then remove from the pot. Then put a bamboo spoon of appropriate size into the Su-made soup pot, put the meat on top, and continue to simmer over low heat.
After tinkering for more than an hour, Yu Qingzhi's Su Zao Pork is finally ready.
After the meat was cut and served, the whole table couldn't stand it.
In addition to Su Zao Rou, Yu Qingzhi also made several other side dishes.
Zhu Tianci couldn't hold it in anymore when he smelled the fragrance wafting out. When the meat was inserted into his mouth, his eyes lit up.
"This craftsmanship! It's really amazing! My restaurant is perfect! It's absolutely perfect!"
He Lianjun's eyes flashed with helplessness, and he said in a deep voice: "Do you really want to buy this recipe and open a restaurant?"
Zhu Tianci nodded and said: "Buy! Don't say a hundred taels! This is the craftsmanship! I will buy even two hundred taels!"
For some reason, Yu Qingzhi always felt a little puzzled.
Other businessmen are all trying to lower their prices, but why does Boss Zhu seem to want to give her money?
However, a gentleman loves money in a wise way. The formula she sold for one hundred taels of silver was already a sky-high price, and she would be embarrassed to accept any more money.
After the meal, Yu Qingzhi wrote out the recipe and received a hundred taels of silver.
It wasn't until he put the banknote in his pocket that He Lancheng said in confusion: "Sister-in-law, aren't you a child bride? You can actually write so many words?"
As soon as these words came out, He Lianjun and Zhu Tianci both looked at Yu Qingzhi.
The atmosphere was momentarily stagnant.
Yu Qingzhi reacted immediately and said: "I knew how to write before I was sold to the Yu family. But I haven't written for many years, so my writing is also unfamiliar."
The handwriting written by a modern person was indeed difficult to express in a refined manner, and she finally fooled everyone.
He Lianjun politely sent Zhu Tianci out of the door.
There were many villagers gathered outside to take a look at Zhu Tianci's luxurious carriage. Seeing He Lianjun coming out, some people couldn't help but said, "Lianjun, did your family really sell the braised pork recipe?"
"Really sold for one hundred taels of silver?"
Zhu Tianci immediately took the opportunity to promote it and said: "I bought this recipe for braised pork, and it is an enhanced version that is more delicious than this braised pork. My restaurant will open in the county soon. By then, it will be ready."
Please come and support us!”
He Lianjun glanced at him speechlessly. Zhu Tianci was forced by He Lianjun's eyes, and then he got on the carriage and left Qingshui Village.
Seeing Zhu Tianci sent away, the villagers looked at He Lianjun with eyes full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"Lian Jun! Your life is so good!"
"If I had known that Qingzhi was so capable and could be sold for a hundred taels of silver per prescription, I would have bought it right then!"
"Ouch! What an afterthought, you were so sick that Qingzhi was about to die, why didn't you buy it? Even if Lian Jun makes money, it's still his blessing! If he hadn't been kind enough to buy Qingzhi back, Qingzhi said
Maybe they’re all dead——”
"That's right! Even if I have this windfall now, I deserve it. It's not like the Yu family. They have raised it for so many years and they actually sold it. I think the Yu family must be so regretful now that their intestines will turn green!"
People's eyes are sharp.
The Yu family is indeed so regretful now that their intestines are almost green.
Especially when Aunt Li, who was also jealous, came to Yujia Village to collect the handkerchiefs, she deliberately exaggerated and told the Yu family vividly about the fact that Yu Qingzhi was sold for a hundred taels per prescription.
When Father Yu and Mother Yu heard that Yu Qingzhi was sold for a hundred taels per prescription, they were so angry that their eyes almost bulged out!
"Ouch! You two are so generous! When I bought Yu Qingzhi, she was just a little old and had to eat! Now that she is older and capable, the money she earned was given to the He family! If it were me,
I really can’t swallow this breath!”
"So what if I can't swallow it? The person has already been sold to He Lianjun! Is it possible that he still wants to snatch it back?" Father Yu said angrily.
That damn girl really hid her secrets so well! She has such skill and yet she didn’t even say a word!
If he knew she was so capable! No matter what, I would have paid a doctor to cure her!
After marrying Da Biao, this one hundred taels of silver now belongs to their Yu family!
The more Father Yu thought about it, the angrier he became, so angry that his beard stood up.
However, Aunt Li rolled her eyes and came up with a vicious idea.
She approached Yu's father and Yu's mother and said, "Although you sold this person to He Lianjun, where did she learn Yu Qingzhi's recipe? Could it be that she learned it just a few days after marrying into the He family? This
Naturally, I learned the cooking skills from your Yu family! Since I learned the cooking skills from your family, this recipe should belong to your Yu family! The one hundred taels should also belong to your Yu family!"
These words immediately awakened Father Yu and Mother Yu!
The two couples looked at each other, then raised their lips and smiled. They looked at Aunt Li and said, "Aunt Li is still smart! You are right! Her cooking skills were all taught to her by our Yu family! Her recipe
It’s also something that belongs to our Yu family! Even if the money is sold, the money should belong to our Yu family! Why is it the He family’s turn to spend it!”
Aunt Li nodded and said, "That's right. Even if we file a lawsuit with the county magistrate, the He family won't be able to take advantage! What's more, my son-in-law is still working as a catcher in the Yamen!"
"In that case, I have to trouble Aunt Li to have a nice word with your son-in-law about this matter. If this money comes into my hands, Yu Laosan, I will definitely honor Aunt Li."
