Chapter 44 This lonely and wild ghost really dares to say anything
"Mrs. Lu, can you sell me a jar of this red chili sauce?" Yuan Yuan asked.
"If you need to buy this, I'll give it to shopkeeper Yuan." He Yunxi earned another sixty taels of silver, showing his gratitude to Yuan Yuan. Why should he charge for this chili sauce!
"Then thank you Madam Lu and Little Brother Lu." Yuan Yuan looked at the pottery pot with joy, feeling more affectionate than looking at his own son.
After a while, He Yan came back, and the group moved to the kitchen.
Outsiders are not allowed to enter the restaurant's back kitchen, not even the waiters. Today Yuan Yuan personally led people there, and several people were very curious.
"All of you, please go out." Yuan Yuan called a few Dunzi out and said to He Yunxi: "Mrs. Lu, please."
He Yunxi went in and looked around, then looked back at Lu Yan. Lu Yan nodded, indicating for her to start, and then went to talk to Yuan Yuan.
He Yunxi: "..." I just want you to help me grind the pepper into powder, I don't want your permission to start.
Forget it, there is no tacit understanding.
She complained in her mind, found the right nest, grabbed a handful of peppercorns and put it in. Dingshan came over and said, "Are you going to grind it into powder? I'll do it, I'll do it. Mrs. Lu will prepare the others first."
"Then I'll bother Uncle Ding." He Yunxi smiled at him and took the tofu out of the water.
After cleaning the tofu, she sliced one piece and made pan-fried tofu; she cut two into pieces, half to make mapo tofu and half to make smooth egg tofu.
There was oil in the kitchen, but He Yunxi had never used it. He didn't know how it would turn out, so he still chose to cook it with fat meat.
Steamed eggs and Mapo tofu both require stir-fried meat sauce. When he saw He Yunxi put all the soy sauce in them, Dingshan felt a little distressed, but thinking about the taste he had eaten before, he didn't say anything.
But when I put the bean paste in, everyone inside and outside choked because they had never smelled spicy food.
Yuan Yuan sighed: "The taste is really much better than that of dogwood. I just don't know if it will be too spicy to eat."
Lu Yan was used to it and said, "It won't be very spicy."
Soon, He Yunxi had all three dishes ready. She took off her apron and said to Dingshan with some embarrassment: "Actually, this is very simple. You can get it with more exploration."
Such a simple recipe sold for twenty taels, which seems a bit unoriginal.
But then he thought again, what Yuan Yuan really wanted to buy for himself was the use of Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers. With Sichuan peppercorns, they could use them in other dishes, thereby enhancing the taste of the entire Baiweilou.
With this thought, she felt confident again.
"Shopkeeper Yuan, the food is ready, would you like to try it?"
"Okay." Yuan Yuan said okay, but first he looked at the small clay pot. He felt very distressed when he saw that there was less chili sauce inside.
Seeing Yuan Yuan's reaction, He Yunxi twitched his lips and said, "Well, I can give you another can."
"Really?" Yuan Yuan turned his head instantly, his eyes bright and frightening.
He Yunxi subconsciously took a step back, regretting that he had spoken too soon, but the words had already been spoken and there was no reason to regret it.
"Well, I'll give you another pot. It's the same clay pot as this one. It's full."
"Thank you very much, Mrs. Lu." Shopkeeper Yuan saluted He Yunxi and continued, "To be honest, I plan to send these to the city. With yesterday's tigers and wolves, and today's
I believe there will be results for this tofu over there soon. Unfortunately, it would be great if your red chili sauce could be sold."
As he spoke, he looked at He Yunxi eagerly.
He Yunxi sneered: "There's nothing I can do about it. It'll be fine when I plant it myself next year."
"You want to grow your own?"
"Yes." He Yunxi said, "But that will have to wait until the beginning of next year."
They don't have land now, but when they make money, they can buy land.
"Madam, we have to leave." Lu Yan reminded.
It's getting late now. If we don't leave, it will be dark again when we get back.
Before leaving the city, Lu Yan sent the carriage to an alley. After a while, an ox cart followed, dragging a stone mill behind it.
He Yunxi looked at Lu Yan in surprise: "Ms. sir, what is this?"
"The stone mill I ordered when I went to the city before I was injured is now ready and can be taken back together." Lu Yan explained, and He Yunxi happily jumped down to help move the stone mill together.
Fortunately, the carriage is big enough to accommodate the stone mill.
When the carriage continued on its way, He Yunxi kept staring at Lu Yan. Lu Yan was embarrassed by her look and said, "What are you looking at me for?"
"You look good!" He Yunxi said.
This was not the first time Lu Yan heard someone say he was good-looking, but no one had ever said it so naturally. "I've never seen you look at me like this before."
"I used to admire your skin, but now I think your whole body is beautiful." He Yunxi praised.
Lu Yan coughed twice, and the outline of his ears turned slightly red.
This lonely wild ghost really dares to say anything when it comes to praising others.
After He Yunxi praised the person, she went to see the stone mill and didn't notice that Lu Yan's ears were red. When she looked up again, Lu Yan had returned to his usual appearance.
"Lu Yan, didn't you say you weren't going to do it that day? Why did you still buy it?" she asked in confusion.
"My intuition tells me you can do it." Lu Yan said.
In fact, he had no intention of making a purchase at first, but when he was buying gypsum powder, he thought of the look in her eyes when she mentioned the tofu, so he made a mistake and made a purchase. Now seeing her so happy, he suddenly felt that he had made a good decision.
"Isn't there a stone mill at the entrance of the village? Are you so happy to have a stone mill?"
"How do I put this? It's okay to go to the village entrance without a stone mill, but wouldn't it be more convenient to grind it in the yard?" He Yunxi said, "Besides, this is an unexpected surprise, and of course it makes me happier."
She never thought that Lu Yan would buy it again. Lu Yan would trust her so much. Why would it make people unhappy?
In her previous life, no one except her grandparents had given her such a surprise.
Lu Yan saw her smiling and felt inexplicably good.
He was very grateful to God for allowing him to be reborn, and even more grateful to God for allowing this lonely ghost to come into the world, allowing her to change the direction of the family, and allowing all his family members to be alive.
Just for this, he will repay her. Let her do whatever she wants, and he will be there to protect her.
The carriage quickly sent them back. At the foot of the mountain, He Yunxi and Lu Yan each took part of the stone mill and carried it up.
It was almost dark by this time, and everyone had just finished eating. When they saw the two people coming back, they all looked curiously at Lu Yan and He Yunxi pretending to be stone mills.
The stone mill was placed at the edge of the yard and it took two-quarters of an hour to install it.
"Open the grinder tomorrow and it will be ready for use the next morning," Lu Yan said.
He Yunxi nodded and touched his stomach: "I'm hungry, let's go eat."
Lu Yan watched her touching her belly, with a smile in his eyes: "Okay."
