    Chapter 25

    The autumn breeze is swaying, and it is time to eat fish and crabs.

    The elegant cultural person pays attention to the "thinking of the sea bass", but Shen Shaoguang brought back two catfish more than two feet long.

    Catfish is not an expensive commodity. It is incomparable with mandarin fish, carp, bream, and perch. There is a poem saying that it is "the most stubborn and stubborn", and it is not very elegant. But Shen Shaoguang, the proprietress of a small street shop, pays attention to what elegance is?

    This catfish is a carnivorous fish, with a strong vitality. It is still fluttering when it is out of the water for a while. Don't beware of the fish's tail slapping on the legs, causing pain - don't say, this temperament is indeed a bit "stubborn".

    Shen Shaoguang was a little worried. He didn't know how to kill it for a while, and he couldn't help but miss the aquatic product store in his previous life that not only killed, but also cut and sliced.

    Mrs. Li, who was in the cloth shop next to her, was a little surprised when she saw the fish that Shen Shaoguang was carrying: "This catfish is really fat! It's just that I'm afraid it has a dirty smell!" Then she laughed again, "Little lady Shen is skillful and naturally cooked differently. "

    Shen Shaoguang taught her: "Put some wine and ginger to remove the fishy smell when burning."

    Li Niangzi is a small fan of Shen Shaoguang's cooking skills. After listening to Shen Shaoguang's words, she quickly asked, "What wine do you put? How much?"

    Shen Shaoguang stopped and held the fish in another hand. The two goods were quite heavy, and marks were drawn on both hands. Then he gave Li Niangzi's trick to cooking fish, "Tear off the black film in the fish's belly", "Jiang" , wine is required", "also put some vinegar to remove the fishy smell, and it cooks quickly"...

    Li Niangzi kept nodding her head, but unfortunately she was illiterate, otherwise she would definitely have to take a small notebook and write it down.

    After finally giving Li Niangzi the opportunity, Shen Shaoguang took the two fish to the back of the shop and walked in a small lane.

    Knowing that Shen Shaoguang would not kill fish, A Yuan took a wooden stick and said, "I'm coming!"

    Shen Shaoguang hurriedly stepped aside and gave the position to the heroine.

    Ah Yuan grabbed the fish and hit it on the head with a wooden stick.

    Seeing Wu Erlang's rage to kill the big white-fronted worm, and thinking of her pulling two drunkards with her hands, Shen Shaoguang hurriedly shouted, "Don't smash it!"

    A Yuan hurriedly pulled back his strength, but who knew that the fish was slippery, and after saving the last bit of strength, he jumped over A Yuan's head, and both Shen Shaoguang and A Yuan were startled.

    Both of them laughed again when they were scared.

    Shen Shaoguang said with a smile: "Forget it, throw these two goods here, I don't believe it, it won't die without water!"

    A Yuan is not as cowardly as Shen Shaoguang. This time, he found the trick. He pressed the fish firmly on the bluestone plate beside the water tank, and smashed it twice with a wooden stick, and the fish stopped moving at all.

    Shen Shaoguang gave A Yuan a thumbs up, and A Yuan smiled smugly and did the same for the other one.

    "This big fish head belongs to you today!" Shen Shaoguang said with a smile. Both of them love to eat fish head.

    Catfish has a lot of fat and delicate meat, but it is not fresh enough and has a smell of soil, which is the most suitable for braised.

    Shen Shaoguang wrapped the fish pieces that A Yuan had packed up and fry them in goreng powder, then put oil, sugar in another pot, fry the color, then put the fish, onion, ginger, pepper, cardamom, dill seeds, and then add the wine and clear sauce. Juice, vinegar mixed with good sauce... Thick oil and heavy sauce, simple and rude home-style braised.

    I took another eggplant and cut it into large hob pieces, and then threw it in when it was about to be stewed. This was once taught by a brother from a northeastern neighbor, "stewed eggplant with catfish will kill the old man."

    The neighbor brother is a serious eater. His biggest hobby is to drive to the woods in summer to catch him and go home to fry and eat...

    I don't know if such catfish and eggplant will hold up the old man in the Tang Dynasty, but the smell is so strong that it attracts uninvited guests: "Is this stewed fish? I smelled it as soon as I passed by the door."

    Shen Shaoguang smiled, "Get off the horse when you smell the fragrance, and stop when you know the smell."

    In fact, she just didn't smell it, and Lu Sanniang came to see it from time to time. She satirized Shen Shaoguang for a few words, and was stabbed back again. Shen Shaoguang felt that this eldest sister might be shaking a little.

    Not only Lu Sanniang came by smelling the fragrance, but also two regular customers passed by the door of the store, who even came in and asked, "Do you want to sell fish today?"

    Shen Shaoguang only bought two fish in total, where can they sell them? There is no special fish shop in the workshop. I just came across it today. I think it was the fish who sold the nets or caught them. There is no way to guarantee the supply of things. Naturally, there is no way to introduce new dishes.

    "But it's not a new dish. If the guests think it's good, when they come to drink in the evening, just give them a bowl." Shen Shaoguang said politely and beautifully.

    The diners knew that this was eaten by others, and hurriedly refused with a smile: "How good? It's abrupt!" But he sincerely suggested, "Little lady should serve some fish."

    Shen Shaoguang thanked him, and the guest asked if there was still agate meat in the evening, and it seemed that he wanted to come and have a few drinks.

    After the guests left, Lu Sanniang said "tsk tsk" twice, "Little lady is still so good at talking!"

    Shen Shaoguang shook his head and sighed, "I don't want this kind of thing, I can't help it because I'm born smart."

    "..." Lu Sanniang obviously couldn't accept the shameless and cheeky way of chatting in the Internet age, she pursed her lips, and turned to look at Shen Shaoguang's small shop. It costs hundreds of dollars for one piece, and it seems that this store is really making money!

    Shen Shaoguang went to the kitchen to look at the pot and fire, and asked A Yuan a few words. When he came back, he saw the jealous look on Mrs. Lu's face... Well, it's quite a meal. can eat an extra bowl of fish today.

    Just as he was talking, a woman in her forties or fifties came in, with a round face and a round figure, a sauce-colored floral silk shirt, and two large silver hairpins on her head. !"

    "..." Isn't that just stewing a fish? Are you guys cheering like this? Shen Shaoguang felt that it seemed that some fish dishes should be launched.

    I thought that this one was also here by smell, but I didn't want others to come here: "Congratulations to the little lady!"

    When Lu Sanniang heard the woman's praise of "good fragrant food" just now, she thought she was here to buy food again, and she felt more and more unhappy. She raised her butt to leave, and sat down again after hearing this "congratulations".

    Shen Shaoguang invited the new guest to sit, and poured her a cup of buttermilk, "I don't know where Erxi comes from?"

    "My surname is Jiang, and I'm an official media lady. Someone asked the old lady to propose marriage to the little lady."

    Lu Sanniang's eyes widened.

    Shen Shaoguang frowned with a smile, "Oh? I don't know which virtuous gentleman it is?"

    "It's Liu Langjun, the recorder of Jingzhao House." The official media lady smiled.

    "..." When Shen Shaoguang couldn't answer it was rare, is this guy really in love? And also solemnly sent a matchmaker?

    I forgot who I heard in my previous life, "The greatest respect for a woman is to marry her." Although it is a bit biased, at this time, considering Liu Feng and his own situation, this is indeed a great sincerity.

    When people give respect, they must return the respect. Shen Shaoguang was thinking about how to reply when Lu Sanniang tugged on Shen Shaoguang's sleeve: "Which is this Jingzhao Lu?"

    Seeing Shen Shaoguang pondering, the official media lady smiled and said, "I will tell the little lady about Liu Langjun's family background. Liu Langjun is from Dengzhou, his grandfather once served as the order of Nanyang, and he is a serious scholar and official family. Now there is an old mother and a younger brother in the family, all of whom are in their hometown."

    After talking about his family background, he also said about Liu Feng's personal situation, "Liu Lang is twenty-five this year, and the previous year, the Mingjing passed the first, and the examination system was granted the post of recorder. He is loyal and knowledgeable. You can't go wrong with him."

    Shen Shaoguang nodded, an affordable male, really good. If the family is only in decline, and I don’t have the important status of being the daughter of a sinner, marry this buddy, slowly cultivate feelings, live a good life, and have two children, I can’t say that I am here.

    Tang Dynasty

    His life went by so smoothly.

    However, now... let's not harm anyone.

    Shen Shaoguang smiled and said to the official media lady, "This marriage must always be done with caution. How many days should I let my son think about?"

    Not forcing anyone to agree, and the little lady should always be more reserved, the official media lady smiled, "It's natural."

    Shen Shaoguang smiled again: "Yeniang is gone at home, so I can only do some things myself. I want to tell Liu Langjun in person, and ask my wife to tell her."

    The official media lady nodded, a smart and beautiful little lady, heard that she is still a noblewoman, but unfortunately her family has fallen...

    After sending the official media lady away, she turned around to see Lu Sanniang's indignant face.

    "Little lady doesn't agree... Could it be that this Liu Lushi looks ugly?" Lu Sanniang turned her face again, with a little hope in her suspicion. How can this Ah Chen He De be able to get such a good marriage? It must be Na Langjun's face as ugly as a ghost!

    Xu is considering the pessimistic status quo of his marriage market, Xu is that Lu Sanniang's expression is too naked, Shen Shaoguang is really annoyed, and now he smiles and says: "Ugly is not ugly, it is the one Lu Niangzi satirized to buy seven sets. pancakes."

    Lu Sanniang's expression changed again, that Langjun was wearing a cyan official uniform, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, just right in youth, and had nothing to do with ugliness!

    "If Mrs. Lu is a son-in-law... just now the official media lady hasn't gone far, and she can still catch up." Shen Shaoguang said leisurely.

    This is obviously an irony that he can't find such a gentleman, and seems to say that she doesn't want it, so she asks her to pick it up, Lu Sanniang was so angry with Shen Shaoguang that she was speechless again, and after a while, she said, "Don't be too arrogant, little lady's family. Good! What do you have to be so arrogant about?"

    Shen Shaoguang pondered, "Probably good cooking skills, Linghui, can you make money?"

    Lu Sanniang was so angry that she stomped her feet and walked out.

    Shen Shaoguang turned his head and instructed A Yuan, who was cutting the meat, "Nantou in the morning will go to Fangnan Zhangjia Niantou shop to buy it!"

    A Yuan should be very refreshing: "If you want me to say, it's time to change places!"

    Shen Shaoguang made her lose her temper when she said it, and said angrily, "The old man's noodle is always not crispy enough."

    Shen Shaoguang has never been angry with Qian and Koufu, and this time it was an exception for Lu Sanniang.

    When all the guests were gone in the evening, Liu Feng came.
