But I still have to talk to that big brother. I can’t say whether it’s reliable to leave the matter to him.

Back at the Tutu Temple, the second batch of pottery was almost finished, and the three previous pottery basins, needless to say, had been cleaned by the children.

After putting out the firewood, Su You dug out the pottery and piled it aside, and closed the bamboo silk basket that the children had made.

Then put bamboo leaves, pebbles and fine sand on it, use a pottery basin to fetch water, mix the grass ash, pour it into a bamboo silk basket and filter it.

The three pots were used in turn, changing the pots and ashes without changing the water, and soon a pot of alkaline water was obtained.

Boil half of the alkaline water, pour it into a clay pot, and let the children carry it. Su You shouted: "Let's go, you are exhausted, go to the river to take a bath!"

When the children came to the water's edge, Su You first built a stove with pebbles, lit three fires, set up clay pots to boil water, and asked the children to take turns throwing the clothes in, and adding some alkaline water to boil.

After paddling the newly made grate back and forth on the sand to make it smoother, Su You asked them to wash their hair with alkaline water and use the grate to remove fleas, bed bugs, and insect eggs from the hair.

Boys don't have much of a problem. They play in the water every day and are actually cleaner than girls.

The girls were shy, so they asked Su You for some grates and ran upstream to clean them.

Su You cut some more bamboo poles and set up a rack by the river. After boiling the clothes, he took them to the rocks on the river beach and washed them with alkaline water.

Several boys looked at each other and swam over. One of the older ones said: "Brother, how can we ask you to help us wash our clothes? We can do it ourselves."

Another child also said: "That's right, you have helped us enough. We can provide our own clothes."

After saying that, he shouted to Heli: "Gou Sheng! What a bad boy! What a shame! Go back and wash your own tattered clothes! You want the young master to wash your clothes?!"

Several boys swam back quickly.

Everyone was washing their clothes and talking at the same time.

Someone asked: "Young Master, who are you?"

Su You said: "There is a place called Kelongli outside Meishan City. The main people living there are families named Su. It is a big family. I am from there, and my name is Su You. What about you?"

Then the children started talking all over the place, but from what I heard, most of them were children of refugees. When they passed by Meishan, their parents disappeared.

Su You sighed secretly in his heart. He guessed that his parents saw that Meishan was rich in natural resources and they could no longer raise their children, so they abandoned them in this place with relatively better conditions.

The boy named Gou Sheng said: "Brother You, you are so capable. You baked pottery for us... Uh, you baked it for us, right?"

Su You smiled and said, "Yes, I burned it for you."

Gou Sheng was very happy: "Thank you very much. Although my eldest brother is also capable, I'm afraid he doesn't know these things."

Su You asked: "How old is your eldest brother? What is his name?"

Several children looked at each other and said to each other: "Big brother is called Big Brother. How old do you think Big Brother is?"

Zao Wa looked at the sky: "Thirteen...fourteen?"

Xiao Qi said: "Anyway, big brother will be back soon after dark."

Su You said: "Oh, but I have to go, I can't wait that long."

Xiao Qi said "Ah": "This..."

Su You thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, I'll come back earlier tomorrow and you ask your elder brother to wait for me?"

Xiao Qi nodded: "Okay, hurry up and wash the clothes and hang them up to dry. Let's play in the water for a while, and then it's almost time to get dry! Brother Oil, can you swim?"

When it comes to playing, Su You immediately comes up with confidence: "Haha, swimming, don't be too good at it. You can also catch fish, touch shrimps, catch birds and dig out eggs, it won't be a problem for me!"

A group of children played in the water for a long time. The sun was setting in the west and the others had not come back yet. Su You had no choice but to get dressed, say goodbye to the children, and promised to visit them again tomorrow.

Back in the city, it was still early, so Su You went to find Shi Tong to get back the customized items.

Shi Tong saw him: "Master, what you asked me to make looks like it is for cooking?"

Su You turned over and looked at the wok with a smile on his face: "Exactly! It's a good wok, not bad, not bad, but you forged it? Just cast the wok..."

Shi Tong said with a smile: "Master doesn't dare to mess with the iron thing he wants to use. My two apprentices knocked it out in one day. Can you see if it's okay?"

Su You stretched out his hand and flicked the edge of the pot: "What's okay, that's great! Get yourself a set here, and I'll treat you to something delicious some other time!"

Shi Tong called his apprentice, prepared a bunch of things, put them on with a hemp rope, and gave them to Su You to carry to the Cheng family's old house.

Passing by the butcher's shop, Su You saw a piece of suet hanging, so he asked the waiter to take it, cut it into thin strips, and sent it to the Cheng family's kitchen.

After looking around: "Not in the water?"

The shopkeeper came out and said with a smile: "Hey, isn't this the young master of the Su family? I want the young master to know that the head, hoof, and internal organs have been taken away by Eight Niangs. They gave him fifty cents for each pair!"

Su You asked: "Then what internal organs do you have here?"

The shopkeeper said: "Ah? Someone ordered a clean chicken, and there are still some chicken entrails left."

Nowadays, there are more and more people who are fastidious. Not only do gentlemen stay away from the kitchen, but they also taboo to kill animals at home, so the butcher shop has an agency business.

Su You said: "If you want it, send it to Cheng's house. How much does it cost?"

The shopkeeper said: "You slap me in the face! If I want to charge you money for this thing, is it still a human being?"

Su You smiled and said: "The shopkeeper is really here, then I will teach you to be good. From now on, you can kill the geese here and send the goose feathers to the Cheng family. You can get a sum of money, and then when you kill the chickens, ducks and geese, you can kill them first."

Get half a bowl of salt water, drop blood into it, and you will get a kind of food called blood soup. A bowl costs ten cents, and it should be easy to sell."

The shopkeeper obviously didn't believe it, but he still had a smile on his face: "Then the relationship is better, this can earn hundreds of dollars more in a day, and I have to burn incense for the young master every day!"

Su You didn't bother to say anything more. He just told him that he had to send the things to the Cheng family accountant to ask for money, and then hurried away.

After walking through the corridor from the back room to the kitchen, Su You called out, "Is the cook here?"

The uncle cook rushed out of the kitchen: "How can I deserve to be called young master like that? You can call me Fatty Zhou or Old Zhou."

Su You smiled and said: "Then I'll call you Lao Zhou! Hurry up, there are new dishes today!"

Lao Zhou said proudly: "Hey, the chef of the Shi family has asked me about the recipe for snow salt in the past two days. He said that the salt eaten in the village of the Shi family is better than that at home. He said that those mud-legged people are going to rebel. I am not speculating.

, I don’t even want to tell him!”

Su You said with a smile: "That's right, don't tell him, let him beg for trouble on his own! Don't talk about that, let's start the pot first!"

The iron pot is more than two feet in diameter, with a concave bottom. The bottom is thicker and the edge is thinner. There are three holes on the side of the pot, and a handle is riveted. The handle is connected to a wooden handle with screws. The standard and Soviet oil drawings

Exactly the same as the one above.

Su You asked the cook to put the pot on the stove, light up the fire, cut a piece of fat and rub it back and forth in the pot, making smoke rise everywhere.

The cook was obedient and asked while wiping, "Master, what's the point of this?"

Su You said: "This is for stir-fry! Quickly cook the dish over high heat. But before using it for the first time, you need to open the pot first. Well... I was inspired by the liver and kidney stir-fry that day. By the way, you haven't tried it before.

Should the liver and kidneys be stir-fried together?”

The cook was shaking his head and snoring.

Su You smiled and said: "Then let my brother-in-law try fried chicken offal today, and stir-fry liver and kidney another day."

The cook laughed so hard that he couldn't even see his eyebrows: "The young master has given me a gift of craftsmanship again today, so I have to continue to do it steadily!"

Seeing that the pot was almost cooked, Su You asked the cook to clean the pot again. At this time, the butcher shopkeeper came and brought three packages of fat wrapped in lotus leaves.

As soon as he saw Su You, he bowed his hands and said, "This villain is blind to Mount Tai, so he has offended many people. I just forgot to ask the young master for advice on the regulations of chicken blood soup."

Su You smiled and said, "Didn't you obviously not believe it just now?"

The shopkeeper chuckled and said, "I can't hide it from the young master. I just passed by the bookstore and was stopped by Mr. Cheng, the shopkeeper. He said that from now on, Gouyu will be taken care of by the Cheng family. The young master is really not happy with the villain."

Su You smiled and said: "It's actually very simple. Let me show you. Look, with so much water and so much salt, dissolve the salt water, drop in the blood, stir it a few times, and then let it sit."

The shopkeeper was very happy: "It's that simple? Thank you very much, young master. I'll go and prepare it right away. The salt at home has to be ground into powder before it can be used."

Su You grabbed him and said, "Don't be too busy. To add this chicken blood soup to vegetables, you need to use meat oil. Boil a small spoonful of meat oil. Stir in two slices of ginger and a few peppercorns. Add water to boil and slide in the chicken blood.

, when it is almost cooked, throw in the vegetable leaves, add salt and put it in the pot. Without that small spoonful of meat oil and the two slices of ginger, this dish will be inedible. If you want to sell this thing, you must

Just let others know how to do it.”
