Xu Qinyu saw that Sister Ning really didn't know anything. The little girl was only eleven or twelve years old. In her age, she was always a baby in the hands of her parents. Besides, she was a princess. She was spoiled and spoiled before. Living a life of extravagance and being exiled to the southwest suddenly, the psychological gap must be huge, and the idea of ​​living is not bad.

But this belongs to this, Sister Ning is also a part of this family, and she has to contribute to this family, otherwise she will never have a sense of belonging, and it will not be good for her psychology in the long run.

But don't rush, just take your time.

Seeing Wen's carrying water into the room, and others also going to the kitchen, Pei Jianing stood in the main room blankly, not knowing what to do.

Xu Qinyu went into the kitchen, lit a fire and prepared to boil a pot.

If you want to cook delicious food, an iron pot is also very important.

Pork skin or suet can be used to boil the pot. She was busy boiling the pot to process the ingredients. Pei Weixuan led Brother Feng and Sister Xian to the main room and moved all the ingredients and cooking utensils they bought to the kitchen. She saw Ning Ning still standing in the main room in a daze Then, he said softly, "Sister Ning also helped move the things to the kitchen."

It was easy to move things, Pei Jianing did not refuse, and followed the casserole to the kitchen lifelessly.

Xu Qinyu opened the pot and made a pot of pork ribs and taro stewed rice. It was getting late and everyone was hungry and didn't have time to prepare vegetables and soup. The pork ribs and taro rice had both vegetables and rice, and the taste was good.

It is simple to do this. After washing the pork ribs, stir-fry and add the taro to stir-fry the fragrance and seasoning.

When Xu Qinyu was cooking, Brother Feng and Sister Xian obediently sat by the stove to keep warm, and Pei Weixuan also sat beside to help watch the fire.

Xu Qinyu found that the cheap husband had a very good manner, even if he was sitting in such a simple room, he still sat upright, with his back as straight as a pine.

When the heat was about the same, Xu Qinyu asked the cheap husband to turn off the fire in the stove, lifted the lid of the pot, and the rice inside was soaked in some pork ribs stewed taro soup, which was a little oily, and sprinkled the chopped green onions On top, it's tempting to look at.

Not only the Wen family could not bear the scent, but even the neighbors could smell the scent, and several families even came out to have a look.

"Who does evening food here? It's too delicious."

"It smells so good, but it still smells like meat. Our family eats some meat occasionally. Why can't we make such a delicious taste? People who smell it are almost unbearable."

"It seems to be the house in front. Seeing that her house is still smoking, it is the house of the Xia family couple before. Is this rented out?"

"It looks like it's been rented out. I heard that her house costs 300 Wen, and she doesn't give it a penny. People who can rent a house for 300 Wen can afford meat, but the meat is delicious. Order."

Everyone is greedy, they are ordinary people, some people can't eat meat for a month, and some people can eat it twice a month, but they never know how to make meat delicious so.

Even if they couldn't bear the scent, no one had the nerve to run to the front of someone's house and knock on the door.

In Pei's house, Xu Qinyu has already called everyone to the kitchen for dinner. There is a square table in the kitchen, and there is still some residual heat in the stove, which is relatively warm, so they eat in the kitchen.

I added a large bowl of pork ribs and taro stewed rice for everyone, and put another portion in the food box, which was given to Brother Shao.

Xu Qinyu said: "You guys eat first, I'll send this to brother Shao."

"I'll go." Pei Weixuan got up and took the food box from Xu Qinyu's hand. This place is no different from the capital, and it's so late, he naturally wouldn't let Yu Niang go out alone.

Wen Shi was also worried that his son's febrile illness would be healed, and he was blown ill again, "Let me go, Brother Xuan and Yu Niang, you eat first."

While arguing, there was a knock on the door outside. Xu Qinyu went out and opened the courtyard door. He was a young boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a dusty jacket. The jacket looked thick and dark, but His eyes were quite bright. When he saw someone open the far door, he immediately laughed, "You are the young lady of the Xu family, right? I am a servant of the Xia family. My wife asked me to come over to pick up the food box. What kind of food does the young lady cook? I can smell the scent from far away." The scent was so overbearing that he couldn't help swallowing his saliva along the way.

Xu Qinyu knew the situation of Xia's family, this young man should be Xiaocui's older brother Zhuzi.

She smiled and said, "Today, Mushi was made late, so I made pork ribs stewed rice."

While she was talking, Wen Shi had already come out with the food box, Zhu Zi took the food box and thanked them before leaving.

After Zhuzi left, the Pei family also started eating.

Pork ribs and taro stewed rice, the ribs are not stewed at all, the surface is crispy, the meat is tender inside, the taro is also full of soup, it tastes soft and glutinous, not choking at all, and the rice is covered with soup, grains The grains are distinct, and there is a layer of crunchy rice crust at the bottom of the pot. The rice crust is crispy and fragrant, and everyone likes it very much.

The whole family ate with their heads down, and a pot of pork ribs stewed rice was clean, and then they washed up and went to bed.

The pots and bowls were washed by Pei Weixuan. After dinner, he naturally took the whole family's dishes and chopsticks to wash.

Wen Shi wanted to get a job in a hurry, but Pei Weixuan just said no.

—————

There are six people in the family, and there are only three rooms. Wen Shi originally wanted to give up the largest wing room on the left to Brother Xuan or Sister Ning, but neither of them agreed. In the end, Wen Shi took Sister Xian to live. In the first room, Xu Qinyu and Ning sister lived in the small room on the left side of the main room, while Pei Weixuan and his younger brother Feng lived in the right room of the main room.

In fact, the Pei family subconsciously didn't regard Xu Qinyu and Pei Weixuan as a real couple. Although they passed through the door, they were all forced by the new emperor. The girls were implicated. Look, it won't be too late if the two children can really have feelings for each other.

When she woke up the next day, Xu Qinyu got dressed, left the warm bed and went out. Sister Ning hadn't woken up yet, so she moved lightly, afraid of waking others up.

It was all white outside, the snow had reached the ankles, and it was still snowing.

Xu Qinyu couldn't help feeling a little worried. With such heavy snowfall, the pier must be closed. It's too cold, and the river is prone to freezing, so the caravans can't continue running. If the pier is really closed, there will be food stalls on the pier It will definitely be affected, and there should not be many people setting up stalls. Is it possible to wait until the spring of the next year to set up stalls? But she quickly vetoed it, and the whole family only had eleven taels of silver left. If the family had another headache, the eleven taels of silver would definitely not be enough.

For morning meals, she plans to cook some red bean porridge. The bean porridge she cooks is fragrant and sticky. It is cooked with red beans and japonica rice. The red beans were soaked last night.

When Xia's family moved, they didn't take the stove and wooden barrels with them.

The casserole was bought yesterday, and the bean porridge was cooking on the stove, and Xu Qinyu lit the fire under the stove to cook lard.

As soon as she lit the fire, there was movement at the door of the kitchen. Looking back, it was a cheap husband. He was wrapped in a navy blue long jacket. His clothes were a bit ugly, but his face was as white as jade, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He was really beautiful. Xu Qin Yu couldn't help but take a second look. It was strange to say that although her cheap husband was weak, the cracks on his face were the lightest on the road to exile, and after two days of smearing the ointment it was almost healed.

She thinks that the cheap ointment made by her husband is quite effective. After applying it for two or three days, the redness and swelling on her face will subside, and the cracking will be much better. After using it for another ten and a half months, the cracking on her face and hands will definitely disappear. Can be completely good.

"Fourth brother, why don't you sleep more?" Xu Qinyu asked with a smile.

When she smiled, her eyes were crooked, which was very different from the previous appearance of bitterness and hatred.

Pei Weixuan came over and sat down by the stove, "I woke up, come here to help you light the fire."

"Thank you, brother four."

Xu Qinyu was not too polite, someone helped to light the fire, so she could do other things.

She boiled a large pot of hot water first, and blanched the cut suet, so that the boiled lard would be whiter, cleaner and taste better.

Wash the suet that has been boiled in water and start to boil. Add some water when boiling, and add a few star anise peppers after boiling a lot of oil to increase the aroma.

The whole house is filled with the aroma of lard.

Scoop the boiled lard into a clay pot, put the remaining oil residue on a plate, and sprinkle some salt.

There is not much oil residue, otherwise it can be eaten with radish to make buns or dumplings, and the taste is very good.

Xu Qinyu twisted a piece of oil residue into the mouth, the burnt aroma overflowed, and it was still crunchy just out of the pan. She thought it tasted good, so she twisted a piece and stuffed it into Pei Weixuan's mouth, "Fourth brother, try it too."

The girl's soft fingertips touched his lips, Pei Weixuan froze, and subconsciously chewed a few times before swallowing the oil residue in his mouth without even tasting the taste.

Xu Qinyu asked: "Fourth brother, how does the oil residue taste?"

Pei Weixuan lowered his eyes slightly, "It's pretty good."

Xu Qinyu was very happy, and put the oil residue aside, and he could eat it with bean porridge later.

The oil on the bottom of the pot is not wasted and is directly used to fry the tofu.

Her fried tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the scallions are fragrant.

The Pei family also woke up and came to eat the morning food.

Today, as usual, the pillars came to get the morning food, and he also said to Xu Qinyu, "Brother Shao likes the braised pork ribs made by Mrs. Xu, and I ate a full bowl. Our wife and master were very happy." He He was embarrassed to tell Mrs. Xu that the rest of the stewed pork ribs was eaten by his master. His master wanted to lick the bowl clean, and said that he had never eaten such a delicious meal.

Xu Qinyu smiled and said, "Brother Shao likes it."

After eating the morning food, Xu Qinyu went to the pier and wanted to do the food business. The flow of customers and the source of customers were very important, so she decided what to eat and where to do it.

What Xu Qinyu didn't expect was that there was still some business at the pier. Even if it was snowing heavily, there were some food stalls nearby. Because there were several large ships parked on the canal, she only knew that there were two dedicated to transporting coal mines and iron. The mine's official ships, as well as two caravan ships, were forced to stay here because of the heavy snow.

There are at least 20 or 30 people on one boat, and at least 100 people on four boats, so the pier is still lively.

In order to save money, the guys on these boats live on the boat, but there is definitely no way to save on food, and it is also very hard work to follow the boat, and it is impossible for them to eat well.

If there is no heavy snow to seal the river on weekdays, there will be many small caravans and people who come to the wharf to carry goods, as well as those who come to deliver coal mines and iron ore. At that time, the flow of people was really high and it was lively and lively, but it is still deserted now.

At the moment, the business on the pier is not bad. There are not many food stalls, just a wonton stall, a steamed bun stall, and a noodle stall. The main reason is that it is too cold and snowy, and other people don't want to come out to set up stalls. There are even fewer shops and small vendors on the road.

It was the time of the morning meal, and there were also customers in several stalls waiting to eat with their necks hunched over. They all went back to the boat to eat when they got the food, but they didn't want to be frozen here.

The guys on these ships also knew each other and chatted.

"These past few days have been eating these foods. It's a little greasy, but it's still too bland."

These wontons, steamed buns, and noodles are still not oily enough for them, and they are hungry again after eating them.

"It's really a bit bland. If it's more comfortable to eat a pot of stewed meat, when are we going to make an appointment to go to the restaurant on the West Street and have a good meal?"

"Forget it, do you dare to go to the restaurant on East Street and West Street? Just two or three dishes cost a tael of silver, where can we afford it." Following the fleet, although the monthly money is more than the average person, but a meal They are also distressed to eat half a month's monthly money.

The restaurants on South Street and North Street are cheaper, but they also have to pay a few hundred dollars for a meal, and they are reluctant.

Just as he was talking, the owner of the wonton stall had already cooked several bowls of wontons, and the guys returned to the boat with the bowls.

After Xu Qinyu heard these words, she gradually had a general idea in her heart.
