NOVEL NEXT Chapter 11 Touching the Snail
Mu Zhiyuan only felt the car body sway, maybe two boys were coming to open the box.
He took out the knife from his arms and was about to fight with the boy.
"Brother Muyuan, it's okay!" Ma Xi's voice came, and the lid on the carriage was opened.
Mu Zhiyuan came down from the box filled with relief food, his face full of confusion.
I felt that this was a pure white void space with no end in sight, but when I looked closely, the space in front of me turned into a warehouse again.
"Ah Shu, where is this?"
"This is the warehouse of the Kitchen God." Shui Xi couldn't explain it in detail for a while, so he made up a story about the Kitchen God. The ancients would have believed this reason!
"Kitchen Lord? Ah Shu, don't lie to me!" Mu Zhiyuan looked suspicious.
There are still several bags of rice, sweet potatoes, and potatoes lying on the floor of the warehouse.
Mu Zhiyuan grabbed a potato from the bag and suddenly realized: "The potatoes and sweet potatoes you usually sell come from here."
"I'll talk to you in detail later, Brother Mu, how about we move all the private government rations to Grandpa Stove King and distribute them to the people in the future?"
"Moving here is a good choice, but I have a better way to kill two birds with one stone. At the same time, I can also take Kaitang County..." Mu Zhiyuan whispered in Mao Xi's ear.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour and seeing that the two boys had left, Shu Xi returned to the cave and joined forces with Mu Zhiyuan to move all the hidden relief food into the space.
.
The next day, Mao Xi collected the breakfast stall from Lihua Town early and took the dried red mushrooms to Songjian Academy.
A little bookboy opened the door.
"Is Su Xuexue here? I have dried the red mushrooms he wants. There are exactly two kilograms here, totaling 500 Wen. Please go and tell me, and say they are from Ah Shu's family."
Mao Xi grabbed a few and gave them to the book boy, asking him to take them with him to show Su Xuexue their condition.
After a while, the little book boy handed half a bucket of copper coins to Shu Xi: "Miss Ah Shu, this is what the scholar asked me to give you, a total of 500 copper coins."
Mao Xi weighed the half-strength of copper coins in her palms. It felt good to have money in her hands.
"The scholar also said that the sweet potatoes you sell are very sweet. If there are mature sweet potatoes in the field, you can just pull them out and bring two kilograms over next time."
"Okay." Mao Xi thought about it along the way. It seemed that he had never sold roasted sweet potatoes to Su Xuexue.
By the way, last time the mysterious man in the carriage ate her soy milk set meal, the young ladies in town rushed to buy it.
And Su Xuexue must have many students. When he has some new food to sell to him, wouldn't it be that someone will help him advertise for free!
Thinking of this, Xiaomo Xi, a little money fan, laughed happily "hehe".
After pushing the breakfast cart out of Laoshu Lane, Mao Xi went to the pottery shop and bought two large pots for her mother-in-law, Chen, to pickle sauerkraut.
As lunch time approached, Mu Zhiyuan and Lu Da returned to Mao Xi's house. Mu Zhiyuan went to the back mountain again early in the morning, but this time, he and Lu Da brought back two pheasants and a hare from the mountain.
In the morning, the drum truck of the farm implement shop had been loaded, and Mrs. Chen also returned home from her work in the fields.
Luda skillfully helped Ah Shu handle the pheasants and hares.
She opened the mall:
*** L3 *** ＜Upgrade completed＞
Reward: ＜Unlock 100 snack recipes＞
She bought some new products at the mall, including glutinous rice and bell peppers, hot peppers, and tomatoes.
“With glutinous rice, not only can we make wine in the future, but we can also make many desserts.”
Under Mao Xi's superb cooking skills, two home-cooked dishes were freshly prepared.
"Stir-fried Rabbit Meat with Red Pepper", the meat is springy and tender, and the taste is spicy but not smelly.
The "white chopped chicken" is braised and steamed, then torn into small pieces by hand, and then dipped in green onion and ginger juice.
It's a pity that there is no fine wine to match this mountain game.
No one here has ever eaten chili peppers, and it seems that spicy snacks will be a good market in the future.
.
The autumn heat has not faded yet. In the afternoon, everyone drove the buffalo to the river to cool down and relieve the heat.
In the middle of the stream, there was a small pool. Xiaodouzi drove the cow into the pool, just up to the cow's neck.
Seeing the cow happily soaking in the water, Xiaodouzi took off his shoes and clothes and jumped into the river to play in the water and take a bath.
Mao Xi rolled up his trousers, holding a small fish basket and feeling for the snails on the edge of the river rocks.
The stone snail is black all over, only the size of a small fingernail, and has a tapered tail.
A large river stone can hold about 5 to 8 snails.
From the middle reaches to the upper reaches, only half of the fish basket was collected.
Mu Zhiyuan was not interested in stone snails. He went up the stream and caught shrimps in a relatively open area of water upstream.
After Xiaodouzi finished herding the buffalo, Mu Zhiyuan also caught half a basket of river shrimp.
The stone snails that were retrieved were washed several times and then immersed in a large basin of water to spit out the sand.
Chen spread rice seeds in the paddy fields and transplanted them uniformly after germination.
After returning from the field, she saw that the mustard greens in the yard were half-dried in the sun. Chen took some off and prepared to make sauerkraut.
Mao Xi stepped forward to help and boiled the rice water that had been saved in advance in the pot.
Put the mustard greens into boiling water for 5 seconds, put them in a clay pot, wait until the rice washing water is cold, pour into the clay pot, sprinkle a small amount of salt, cover the lid, and press it with a heavy object to seal.
She took some bell peppers and hot peppers from the warehouse, cut them in half, and buried them in the soil with the seeds, waiting for them to sprout.
At dinner, Ah Miao made soup base with the stone snails he found in the river. The stone snails were so small that Miao Xi wanted to pour them down, but Xiaodouzi was reluctant to part with them. He liked the snails.
Now that she had chili peppers, she fried a whole plate of rock snails using the method of frying field snails. The little beans sucked the snail meat and enjoyed it.
Ajiao, a younger sister who is less than three years old, also imitates her brother in howling conches.
Unfortunately, there was no rice noodles at home, and the sauerkraut hadn't been pickled yet, otherwise she would have made a bowl of spicy and sour snail noodles.
Brother Chun Sheng picked two loofahs and brought them to me today.
Ah Xiao used the soup base for boiling rock snails, mixed it with wild mushrooms, luffa and river shrimp to make a "seafood pot".
The soft and tender loofah neutralizes the earthy smell of river fresh food, and the crispy wild mushrooms add a rustic flavor from the mountains to this dish.
After dinner, Mu Zhiyuan pushed the trolley and accompanied Shui Xi to set up a stall at the Lihua Town night market.
Today they still sell baked sweet potatoes, potato chips, and French fries.
The difference is that she made some ketchup from tomatoes and poured some on it when selling French fries.
This novel taste combination has increased sales tonight.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed, and there are still many people in the night market. Ah Shu’s stall is now famous in Lihua Town for its roasted sweet potatoes and potato chips.
People who came to buy her snacks in the evening were not only regular residents, but also cupboards from restaurants and food shops who also came here to learn from her.
Auntie Axiang runs a steamed bun shop in the east of the city. Usually, whenever her steamed buns are baked, the fragrance spreads all over the place.
Later, I heard from some regular customers that the roasted sweet potatoes sold at the A-shu breakfast stall in Guanyunqiao were delicious and she wanted to sell them, but she had never seen anyone selling raw sweet potatoes in the market.
"Miss Ami, your sweet potatoes are so fragrant~" Aunt Axiang ate the sweet potatoes and got close to her.
"As long as you like it, I'll be out in the morning too."
"I opened a steamed stuffed bun shop in the east of the city. I wonder if your roasted sweet potatoes are grown at home?"
"Yes, but for the time being it's just enough for me to set up a stall and sell."
"Miss Ami, can you sell me some of the sweet potato harvest in your field from now on?" Aunt Axiang got straight to the point and didn't beat around the bush.
The sweet potatoes have not yet been harvested, and someone has come to place an order.
Mao Xi thought that it would be good if that was the case, but he couldn't sell roasted sweet potatoes all the time, as the novelty among the people would eventually disappear.
"Auntie, it's okay. The sweet potatoes this season are not ripe yet. How about I deliver them to you when the harvest is harvested?"
"Just call me Auntie Axiang. Miss Ahmi is so happy. Come to my bun shop when you have time, and I'll treat you to delicious big meat buns, haha!"
Aunt Axiang smiled and left happily.
"Ah Shu, if you sell sweet potatoes to others, what will you rely on to make a living in the future?"
"Brother Muyuan, sweet potatoes grow very well, and I don't know if there will be a good harvest of rice this year. If people come here regularly to harvest sweet potatoes, I can grow a lot of them. When I save enough money, I will open my own food shop!" "
Mu Zhiyuan looked at Liu Mianxi's serious eyes and realized that she wanted to open a restaurant.
"And I can also let Brother Chunsheng and the others plant it together. If there is another locust plague this fall and the harvest is bad, at least there will be sweet potatoes to fill our stomachs."
Mu Zhiyuan lowered his head and thought deeply: If it could be promoted across the country, we would not be afraid that there would be no food in famine years and the people would be hungry.
Thinking that the relief food was still being stored in Ah Shu's space, she had never eaten the chili peppers used in her dinner.
He was even more confused about this strange woman in front of him!
"Ah Shu, come with me to Kaitang Town tomorrow!"
