When she reached Lin Jinxiao, Chu Nanzhi suddenly stopped and couldn't help turning her head to look at him.
From this angle, he was looking at his charming side face, with sharp edges and corners, full of beauty, which was really pleasing to the eye.
"It seems that I can eat two more bowls of rice today."
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but sigh beautifully in her heart, and a trace of reverie gradually appeared in her mind.
But just when this thought gradually took over her mind, she cursed fiercely at herself: "Bah, am I the kind of superficial person who covets other people's beauty?"
obviously.
"I'm not."
After asking and answering questions, Chu Nanzhi turned his eyes firmly and walked straight towards the back room.
In the bathroom, sisters Chu Nanzhu and Chu Nanxiang poured the hot water that had been heated into the tub, adjusted the temperature, and prepared a change of clothes for her.
Soaking in the warm bathtub, the nerves that had been tense and tired for many days gradually relaxed, and there was a lazy and comfortable smell all over the body.
I washed my hair and body with soap locust, put on a clean blue gown, and slowly walked out of the door, when I saw the quadruplets swarming over me.
The little ones held on to her clothes tightly and praised her happily: "My mother-in-law looks great today."
"Yeah?"
Being praised for her good looks by the little ones for the first time, Chu Nan Zhi couldn't help but feel a hint of shyness on her face: "Then grandma didn't look good before?"
The little guys all pursed their lips and replied weakly: "It used to look good."
Sanbao Lin Ruichong leaned against her and said embarrassedly: "But now I am the most beautiful, the most beautiful woman in the world."
Seeing that the little guy's mouth was as sweet as honey, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but bend down and flick the tip of his little nose, and said happily: "Little slicker, who did you learn these words from all day long?"
Anyway, it is definitely impossible to learn it from that pretty boy Lin Jinxiao.
Chu Nanzhi was thinking this and saw Erbao Lin Ruixi making faces at her with a smile: "Haha, Auntie, I know that Sanbao learned it from listening to my uncle and my aunt talking."
After being exposed by Erbao in front of her, Sanbao Lin Ruichong immediately became a little unhappy. He curled his lips and argued with her: "Didn't my sister also tell my uncle yesterday that Aniang is the most beautiful? Aniang is always the most beautiful. Aniang is the most beautiful."
She has peach blossom moles at the corners of her eyes, but my aunt doesn’t have them, and my chin also looks good.”
Thinking of competing for her mother's beauty in front of her uncle and aunt yesterday, Erbao Lin Ruixi shyly hugged Chu Nanzhi's arm and said coquettishly: "Of course grandma is the most beautiful. When I grow up, I will be as beautiful as grandma, right?"
wrong?"
"Yes, you two will all be among the best in the future, so naturally you are the most beautiful."
Chu Nanzhi pulled the little treasures with her eyes full of tenderness, and said kindly: "Then let mother take my little beauties to dinner together, and don't let grandma and the others wait too long."
"good."
The quadruplets had been hungry for a long time. They saw their grandma and master preparing delicious food in the kitchen early in the morning. When they heard that they were eating, their mouths watered. They pulled her excitedly and ran to the living room.
Today's breakfast was different from usual. Liu Yun cooked a table of hard dishes: chicken stewed with mushrooms, fried pork belly with green beans, grilled fish, stir-fried cabbage, eggplant salad, meat and vegetable combinations. Except for the grilled fish, the rest were from previous days.
Chu Nan Zhixin taught the mother and daughter how to cook.
Chu Nanzhu pointed at the dishes on the table and said with a cheerful smile: "Sister, come and try them. My mother and I made these. Do they pass the inspection?"
Chu Nan Zhi glanced at the delicious food on the table. The other items were not surprising, but he didn't expect that there was fish.
Although Luyan Port can barely be regarded as a land of plenty, due to the backward fishing methods of rivers in this era, a lot of manpower was invested but little harvest was achieved, and the survival rate of fish farming in pond water was relatively low. Therefore, unless you eat fish in fishing villages, other places can be considered
Rare things.
I heard that the price of rare and precious fish species is the same as that of mutton, costing eight to nine hundred cents per catty. Even cheap freshwater fish costs thirty or fifty cents. It is almost a delicacy that can only be found on the tables of wealthy families.
Except for holidays, all ordinary people can eat on weekdays is nothing more than pork, dog meat, and poultry meat from chickens, ducks, and geese raised at home.
She picked up the chopsticks and took a little bit of the fish into her mouth. Although it was delicious, the fishy smell was still a bit strong, and the taste of the preparation was relatively conservative, with only the salty taste of table salt.
While she was tasting, Liu Yun carefully explained: "The day before yesterday, your uncle went to a neighboring village to help a Taoist friend of his release water for fishing. That family gave him a few bass as a gift. He also heard that you were imprisoned.
When I entered the prison, I brought two fish over and said they would be used to replenish your health when you come back, so I accepted them."
Hearing that it was sent by Chu Wenyu, Chu Nanzhi felt a chill in his heart at first, but then he thought, if he even had to care about two fishes, I'm afraid this uncle would be disappointed.
The uncle of the original owner was also a pitiful man. He always put himself in the shoes of the second room and his family. She couldn't help but feel cold to the whole family anymore, so she pretended to be concerned and asked: "Is your uncle in good health?"
"How can it be better to be in the Qi family and suffer from the cowardice all day long?"
Mentioning this matter, Chu Wenbi couldn't help but frown.
If the Qi family hadn't refused to let him go, he would have brought his brother back long ago.
Not wanting to spoil the family's interest, Liu Yun smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject: "Let's eat quickly. The food will be cold soon."
After saying that, he went to pick the fish meat and distributed it to the quadruplets one by one. He whispered: "Babies, please be careful when eating fish for the first time. Don't get the fish bones stuck in your throat."
The little guys looked at the white and tender fish, their eyes rolled, and laughter almost flowed from the corners of their mouths. Chu Nanzhi also reminded with some worry: "Listen to grandma, eat slowly, don't eat it too much."
The fish bones were eaten."
Then I went to carefully check each bowl to see if there were any fish bones.
Liu Yun added: "Grandma is not as good as your mother. She even left one to raise. If she doesn't eat enough, let her make it for you in the evening."
"Okay.", the quadruplets responded obediently, and happily began to lower their heads and carefully eat the fish in the bowl.
Lin Jinxiao watched the little guys eating with gusto, and couldn't help but put his chopsticks on the grilled fish, but before he touched it, Chu Nanzhi stopped him: "You just had gout a few days ago, this seabass meat is not suitable for you.
you eat."
After a pause, she looked at Liu Shuyang and immediately signaled: "I remember that there seemed to be fish in the pond. If you want to eat fish, I will find a way to get a carp to make soup for you later."
Liu Shuyang had just fed a small piece of fish meat into Xiao Muci's mouth. When he heard the eldest sister's words, he nodded eagerly:
"The year before last, a nobleman from Jinling City came back to his hometown to visit his relatives. The village drained the pond and found a few fish. A few small fish were later put back into the pond. I think they are quite heavy now, that is.
The pond is too big to draw the net, and it is difficult to catch the fish with fishing gear. I am afraid it is impossible to catch all the pond. If Sister has other ideas, I can talk to someone."
"No need to worry about this."
Lin Jinxiao's eyes looked very gentle when he looked at Chu Nanzhi this time: "I'll just eat something else."
After saying that, he went to get a bowl of chicken soup.
Chu Nanzhi nodded obediently, but she still had some other thoughts in her mind.
As far as she knew, there were several families raising fish in the entire Shiliba Village of Luyan Port, but most of the fish produced every year were supplied to large families, while the rest were monopolized by the Qi family.
The reason why the restaurant opened by the Qi family is booming is because of its abundant fish and mutton resources, as well as the fermented black bean sauce and compound dipping sauce used for eating meat.
I heard that the dipping water is made with eight kinds of seasonings. It can not only remove the fishy smell from fish and mutton, but also enhance the freshness.
If she wants to open a restaurant and attract wealthy people to spend money, in addition to her own dishes, she must also try to ensure the meat favored by wealthy families and obtain more and better seasonings.
Right now, the supply of fish and meat has become an urgent matter to be solved.
