Waking up early the next day, there was the sound of snowflakes slapping on the window pane outside, accompanied by the whistling sound of the wind. Xu Qinyu lay on the bed and rolled contentedly.

Ever since she came here, it was rare for her to sleep well. Needless to say, she was worried every day on the way to exile. Now that she came to the border town, she knew that her cooking skills could be displayed in such a place. The head is also down.

Both Pei Jianing and Sister Xian are already awake, not on the bed.

Xu Qinyu stretched, sat up slowly, pulled off the jacket on the rack and put it on.

She got off the bed, pulled up her cloth shoes, came to the window, quietly opened a window and looked out, the outside was covered with silver, and the treetops on the roof were all white.

The snow is not heavy, just a thin layer.

Xu Qinyu went to bed early last night, she didn't cook evening food, it was chef Zhou's evening food, she ate some with Pei's family.

There was also a patient in the room, and the window was not open for a long time. Xu Qinyu closed it after seeing the snow scene for a few times.

Everyone else in the room woke up too, Xu Qinyu greeted them and went to the back kitchen.

The big bone soup was hung up last night, and it was warmed on the stove. Xu Qinyu began to chop meat and make stuffing to make wontons.

In fact, if you want to make delicious wontons, the proportion of fat and thin meat fillings, as well as the technique of chopping meat fillings are all related. Good wonton fillings taste rich in juice and full of meaty aroma.

These are not difficult for Xu Qinyu.

When the meat filling is prepared, start kneading the dough.

Wonton wrappers are also very important. The wrappers should be thin and have a bit of chewiness to make them springy when eaten.

Adjust the noodles, knead them, wake them up, and finally form them into small balls and start rolling the wonton wrappers.

She was quick and nimble when rolling out the dough. First, she pressed several small dough pieces into small pancakes, and finally rolled out ten small pancakes together.

Chef Zhou was stunned watching, how can the wonton skin be rolled like this? Roll out a handful of noodles together, but the wonton skins are as thin as a cicada's wings.

The technique of wrapping the wontons was as fast as an afterimage. Chef Zhou's mouth never closed.

He admired the little lady so much, and thought that Miss Xu is too powerful. She is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but her knife skills and craftsmanship are so superb, and her cooking skills are even more amazing. I am afraid that only the imperial chefs in the palace have such skills. Such craftsmanship.

The skin of the wonton is so thin that even the texture of the meat inside can be clearly seen. Chef Zhou is worried whether the skin will be boiled when boiling the water.

At this moment, it was more than ten hours, and most of the guests in the inn had already got up and started to wash.

Xu Qinyu started to cook the wontons. To cook the wontons, a large pot was used, and the wontons could be boiled by adding water to a boil.

The heat of the wontons is also very important. You have to adjust the bottom of the bowl. Put some seaweed shrimp skin and a little salt on the bottom of the bowl. Scoop a spoonful of the hot bone soup in another pot and pour it into the bowl. The fragrance spreads. The diners who provoked came out one after another and started looking for food.

Seaweed and shrimp skins are also not cheap. Other wonton stalls don’t have seaweed or shrimp skins, they just add green onion and lard.

In the clear water pot, the wontons floated up in a swirl. Xu Qinyu moved his wrist lightly, scooped up a dozen wontons with a large colander, poured them into the bone soup bowl with the seasoning, and finally sprinkled with chopped green onion for decoration.

A bowl of small wontons with all the flavors and flavors is ready.

Xu Qinyu naturally insisted on eating with the Pei family first.

She cooked six bowls of wontons, all of which were made with big bone broth, without any oil or vinegar. They hadn't eaten well during the trip, and their stomachs would definitely not be able to bear the heavy food, and they would have to take care of it for a while. .

She made the oily spicy rice by herself. Stir the cornel and Chinese prickly ash in an iron pan until fragrant and dry, then mash it, add hot oil and sesame seeds, and the simple version of the oily spicy rice is ready.

Xu Qinyu also tasted the taste, it was very good, spicy and slightly tingly, very appetizing.

Returning to the room with the wontons in hand, Xu Qinyu called Pei's family to eat court food.

Pei Jianing came over to help her put the food tray on the square table, and brought Brother Feng and sister Xian over, "Sister-in-law Si, you eat first, I'll feed them both." She knew that Sister-in-law Si would go to the back kitchen soon Serve the diners.

Wen Shi also came to pick up Sister Xian, and helped Pei Jianing feed the baby.

Xu Qinyu was also polite, nodded, and brought a bowl of wontons to Pei Weixuan, "Fourth brother, you eat too."

"Okay." Pei Weixuan responded, but his eyes fell on the girl's extended wrist. The marks on the wrist that he had grasped deepened instead, and his hand that took the bowl paused slightly.

After Xu Qinyu handed over the bowl, she didn't go over to the side of the square table, and sat on the little twig where Cai Wenshi was sitting just now and began to eat.

She started to eat, her cheeks puffed up, her eyes were slightly squinted, and she looked satisfied and enjoying.

Pei Weixuan had no appetite at all, seeing her like this, he couldn't help scooping up a wonton.

I was amazed at the entrance. Although the skin is thin, it is not broken at all. The meat is chewy and the juice bursts. The mouth is full of meat, the mouth is fragrant, and the soup is fresh and tender.

He took one bite after another, and the bowl of wontons was exhausted.

He had just finished eating, and Xu Qinyu had also finished eating, so he naturally took the bowl in his hand, and was about to take it away, when the cheap husband suddenly said, "Yu Niang, can you lend me the usual money?"

Xu Qinyu was stunned for a moment, oh oh twice, "Fourth brother, you wait." After speaking, she ran over to take the money from her wooden box and handed it to Pei Weixuan, but she didn't ask him what he wanted the money for.

She gave all the fifty taels to Wen Shi, Wen Shi paid the registration fee, and kept the remaining ninety taels. She earned almost three pennies yesterday.

After giving the money, Xu Qinyu returned to the back kitchen with an empty bowl.

There are already many diners in the inn hall, all of them are old customers from yesterday, and Liang Yi is also there.

When Xu Qinyu returned to the back kitchen, he was busy cooking wontons. After a while, the whole inn was filled with the meaty aroma of wontons, attracting more diners.

The living room in front is full of compliments from diners.

"This wonton is really delicious. I have never eaten such a delicious wonton."

"That's right, the little lady's cooking skills are also really good. How do you cook it? It's all made of white flour and meat stuffing. Why is the taste different?"

"It's a bit expensive, and you can't eat it every day."

Liang Yi couldn't help nodding his head when he heard this. He eats a lot. A bowl of wonton won't be enough to fill him up. He has to eat seven or eight bowls, and then take two copies for his wife and daughter. He will get two hundred Wen. Although his monthly salary is It's a few taels of silver, but it's not such a way to spend it. I have to save money to buy a big house for my wife and daughter.

Liang Yi decided to come to eat again in a few days, and he definitely won't come these days.

Chef Zhou listened to the chatter of the diners, and felt depressed. He also wanted Miss Xu's family to stay in Raozhou City for a while, but he knew that Miss Xu seemed to be a family of criminals demoted from the capital. In Yuanbao Town, you can stay for ten days at most. People without Raozhou city household registration can only stay in the city for half a month, or they can stay for a long time if they have a household registration certificate, otherwise they will violate the law and will be punished. of.

So in a few days, Miss Xu should go back.

Miss Xu is kind-hearted and has been teaching him how to cook. He is a little bit reluctant to bear her and wants to recognize her as his master.

Xu Qinyu didn't work for a long time, she was busy for about an hour, and closed the stall after using up the wontons and hanging bone soup yesterday.

Making wontons saves trouble, she plans to continue making wontons for the morning meal tomorrow, but before going to the market to buy big bone sticks and ingredients for tomorrow, she just returned home and was about to count the copper coins she earned when she saw Pei Weixuan holding them. Packing medicinal materials into the house, he said solemnly, "Let's go back to Yuanbao Town today, and settle down early when we arrive in Yuanbao Town."

Everyone was stunned when they heard what he said, and Wen came over and said, "Brother Xuan, your febrile disease is better. How can your body bear such a hurry? We can stay in the city for a few days. No matter how much you It will take a few days for your health to recover." She originally planned to ask a famous doctor to help her find out the poison in her son's body, but she didn't plan to go to Yuanbao Town so soon.

Xu Qinyu couldn't help asking, "Fourth Brother, why didn't you wait a few days?"

She can still stay in Raozhou City for a few more days. She wants to earn more money. If it weren’t for the household registration system, she would want to stay in Raozhou City and rent a house to do business. The business in the city is definitely better than the business in the town. There are also troubles in the city. Doing business must be more cumbersome and troublesome than in the town. She can make money now only through the inn of shopkeeper Zhou.

Pei Weixuan raised his eyes and looked outside the door, "It's going to snow heavily, if you don't rush back today, the road will be closed tomorrow."

He originally planned to go out and buy some medicinal materials and come back to make a ointment to stop bleeding, remove blood stasis and relieve pain for Yuniang. He walked halfway to watch the sky and saw that there was a heavy snowfall. This heavy snowfall will last at least ten and a half months. Trapped in the city.

"Fourth brother, do you know how to observe the sky?" Xu Qinyu was amazed, she didn't expect Mr. Cheap to have such an ability.

Both Wen Shi and Pei Jianing were startled, apparently they didn't know that their son and brother had such abilities.

Since it was going to snow heavily, everyone could only pack up their bags immediately and plan to leave the city. Xu Qinyu carried her wooden box to bid farewell to shopkeeper Zhou and Chef Zhou. Silver, shopkeeper Zhou is naturally willing. After exchanging the silver to Xu Qinyu, shopkeeper Zhou said when he learned that they were going to Yuanbao Town, "Miss Xu, are you going back soon?"

Xu Qinyu didn't reveal her cheap husband's ability to observe the sky, but only said that her husband has woken up and planned to go to the place of residence early.

Shopkeeper Zhou nodded, "It's good to go back early and make arrangements. It just so happens that Daqing will be driving the carriage. Why don't you let him take you back to Yuanbao Town? Thank you, little lady, for teaching him how to cook these two days."

Daqing is the son of shopkeeper Zhou, Zhou Daqing.

These days, the recipes of craftsmen are tightly held in their own hands, and they are teachers for one day and for life. What's more, those who teach cooking skills are passed down from generation to generation, and they are not willing to teach outsiders at all. The shopkeeper taught it, but he is also half-assed.

Xu Qinyu is naturally happy. She actually has other plans in mind. Yuanbao Town is not too far from Raozhou City. It is the closest of all villages and towns to Raozhou City. In the future, she may continue to follow Shopkeeper Zhou cooperated, but she had to go back and think carefully about how to cooperate.

When Zhou Daqing heard this, he was very happy, took the carriage, and sent the little lady's family to Yuanbao Town.

Raozhou City is a half day's journey away from Yuanbao Town, and Xu Qinyu has nothing else to do except this little money.

The whole family huddled in the carriage, and the carriage wobbled towards Yuanbao Town.

On the way, Xu Qinyu saw that the cheap husband was still carrying the package of medicine, and couldn't help asking, "Fourth brother, what medicine did you grab? Does fourth brother know how to see a doctor?" She could smell the smell of medicine, medicine and food come from the same source , Many ingredients are medicinal materials, but she has never been in contact with most of them, even with a sensitive nose, she can't tell what medicinal materials are there.

"Understand a little bit." Pei Weixuan glanced at her wrist, "Your wrist needs to be smeared with medicine. I originally planned to boil some ointment with the stove in the back kitchen of the inn, but now I can only wait for you to cook it for you when you return to Yuanbao Town. .”

He usually doesn't talk much, but today he was forced to say a lot, and after answering Xu Qinyu's words, he lowered his eyes slightly.

Xu Qinyu immediately thanked him happily, "Thank you, fourth brother."

In fact, her wrist still hurts, but she can bear it. She was often injured in the orphanage, and she endured it by herself.

Wen Shi and Pei Jianing were stunned again, obviously they didn't know that he knew how to use medicine.

Naturally, Pei Weixuan never told them that if he didn't know how to use medicine, he would have died in that cannibalistic harem long ago.

It's just that his ability has never been revealed in front of others, and he can't be revealed in front of others.

Two hours later, the carriage stopped at the entrance of Yuanbao Town.

The entrance of Yuanbao Town is not much different from other towns. There is a big stone tablet with three large characters on it, Yuanbao Town.

At the entrance of the town, Xu Qinyu got off the carriage with the Pei family. Xu Qinyu asked Chef Zhou to return to the city quickly. The curfew in Raozhou City was relatively late, so it was just right for him to rush back. After speaking, he thanked him and added, "After we settle down, I'm sending someone to the city to deliver a letter to Chef Zhou."

Zhou Daqing was very happy when he heard that he would continue to communicate with each other in the future. He scratched his head and said, "Then, Miss Xu, hurry up and find a place to live in the town."

After parting from Chef Zhou, Xu Qinyu and his group entered the town, and found that the town was still quite lively. Even though it was still snowing, there were still pedestrians coming and going, and there were many small vendors on both sides of the street.

The group had to go to the yamen to report first, and let the magistrate of the county stamp the registration document before the document became official and they were truly from Yuanbao Town.
