The people in Osmanthus Fragrance know that the newly moved lady is good at cooking, otherwise cooking and eating all day long would not be so delicious.

Now when heard the little lady shouting in the alley, guessed that it was the little lady with good craftsmanship. saw her pushing a cart to the pier in the morning, but the meat sandwich was too expensive, and it cost eight cents a piece. It's only enough for the child to satisfy his cravings, how can he be willing to do so, hearing the little lady's shout at this moment, can't help but be moved.

But listen carefully, braised herring?

fish? The earthy smell of fish is too strong. Sometimes they buy fish because they have nothing to eat at home. It is indeed cheap, cheaper than beans and miscellaneous grains, but it is really not delicious. It is called fishy when cooked, and it tastes bad in the mouth. It's disgusting, and the children don't want to eat it at all, they would rather eat boiled vegetables, so adults are not willing to buy it.

When the little lady said it was fish, everyone couldn't help muttering, can it be delicious?

But the smell is no different from the Roujiamo in the morning, and the children in the family are also making noises, "Mother, mother, I want to eat, I want to eat."

Everyone can only come out and see.

As soon as they came out, they saw the skinny little lady pushing the weird cart in the morning, selling, and the handsome man followed beside her.

A casserole and an iron pot were placed on the chopping board above the cart, which were steaming.

Xu Qinyu moved out even the iron pot. These braised herrings in the wooden basin are easy to transfer flavors, and the big casserole is only the one with stewed sausages. Other containers are not easy to store.

Seeing someone coming out, Xu Qinyu started selling again.

Someone led the child over and asked, "Little lady, can your fish be delicious?"

Xu Qinyu stopped the cart, smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, it's absolutely delicious. If it doesn't taste good, you don't need money. If you buy it back, if it doesn't taste good, you can come to me for a refund. Fresh and tender, herring has few spines and is nutritious. It is best for children to nourish their bodies, but you must pay attention to the spines when feeding them. It is best to feed the fish belly and the meat on the head of the fish. One fish is two It weighs three catties, and the smaller ones cost five renminbi each, while the larger ones cost eight renminbi. After you buy them, you can cook them in a casserole pot on the stove, add water and a proper amount of salt, and then add cabbage to the pot The tofu, radish and bean sprouts are really good, and the herring is fat, so you don't need to give meat oil, it can be eaten after boiling."

This is also the most affordable way of eating that she came up with. It is delicious and nutritious. A casserole with side dishes is enough for a family of several.

The kid next to him was already swallowing his saliva greedily, pulling his mother's clothes vigorously.

"Mother, mother, I want to eat, I want to eat."

The sister-in-law was also very moved when she heard it. It was only five yuan to buy a small one. Add some other dishes, which is enough for the family to eat at night, and the little lady also said that they will refund the money when they buy it back if it smells like fish. .

"Okay, give me one."

Xu Qinyu smiled and said, "The sister-in-law goes back to get the pot, and I'll help you pick one."

The woman came back quickly and brought out a casserole, and asked Xu Qinyu to put the fish in it for her. The herring was scooped up, its skin looked burnt yellow, and it was covered with sauce-colored soup. It looked delicious.

The woman took the fish, paid the money, and took the child home.

Someone here bought it, and everyone else was excited.

There are about a dozen families living in Osmanthus Alley, and any noise can be heard in the alley, so know that someone bought this braised herring.

Many people gathered around, chatting in a hurry.

Someone else asked, "Little lady, if it doesn't taste good, will you really get your money back?"

Xu Qinyu nodded, "Really retreat."

Of course, the fish she cooks are fried noodles first, the skin is crispy, then stewed with water until the juice is reduced, but the inside is extremely tender and delicious. If someone says that the fish she stewed is not good, ask her to return Money, it is purely looking for trouble, she will never sell the food she made to that person in the future.

When everyone heard it, they all went home to buy fish with pots, some picked big ones, some picked smaller ones.

Xu Qinyu also told them over and over again how to eat the fish. The fish is still hot. You can eat it directly when you go home. Put some salt in the pot to heat the water and add side dishes. She also carefully warned that those with children at home must be careful .

Among them was an old woman, staring at the fish dripping in the pot, and asked Xu Qinyu, "Little lady, if you don't even try this fish, who knows if it's really delicious? What if you don’t refund the money?”

"Don't worry, Auntie." Xu Qinyu glanced at the old woman, "It's really not good to taste. It doesn't look good when you taste the whole fish. It's cheap and you can't make much money."

The old woman stared at Xu Qinyu twice, and seeing her soft-spoken appearance, she smiled and said: "Okay, then give the old woman the whole big one."

Seeing this, the others looked at the little lady and hesitated to speak.

In the end, he still didn't say anything, watching the little lady sell the fish to the old woman.

The last dozen or so fish were all bought back by the people in Osmanthus Alley.

This time the stall was closed faster, and Xu Qinyu kept two larger fish, one for her family to eat and one for Xia's family.

Not a while after returning home, Zhu Zi came over. Xu Qinyu gave him the braised herring, told him how to eat it, and gave him some leftover fish balls.

When Zhuzi left, Wen Shi still hadn't returned.

Until it was completely dark and it was past the time for evening food, Wen Shi still hadn't returned.

Xu Qinyu was a little restless, and even Pei Jianing couldn't help but look towards the gate of the yard.

Xu Qinyu couldn't sit still, "Fourth Brother, Jianing, I'll go out and have a look, why hasn't Mother returned yet?"

"I'll go with you."

Pei Weixuan also stood up.

The two asked Pei Jianing to watch over the child at home, and walked towards the door.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the courtyard, Pei Weixuan stopped and said, "Mother is back."

Xu Qinyu was puzzled, the snow outside was so thick that if someone walked on it, she could hear creaking noises, but she didn't hear any footsteps at all. When she opened the courtyard door and looked at the entrance of the alley, she actually found that there was a snow at the entrance of the alley. A figure, looks like Wen's.

"Fourth brother, you are really amazing."

Xu Qinyu was amazed, her cheap husband shouldn't have internal strength, lightness skills and martial arts, right? He is the legendary martial arts master!

Pei Weixuan glanced at her, seeing her staring round eyes, feeling a little helpless.

When Wen came back, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

When Wen entered the yard, she was a little absent-minded, and when she saw her son and daughter-in-law waiting for her at the door, she smiled a little, "It's getting dark, haven't you eaten evening food yet? Don't wait for me in the future. If I come back late, you guys Just eat first."

Xu Qinyu shook her head, "It's not going to work, we must wait for my mother to come back and eat together."

Entering the kitchen, the pot was already bubbling and steaming, filling the room with aroma.

Xu Qinyu added some crushed dogwood pepper and lard to this pot of fish, which tastes spicy and appetizing.

The whole family was a little sweaty after eating, and it was warm, not to mention how comfortable it was.

After dinner, everyone was not in a hurry to clean up the kitchen. Wen took out her purse and poured out dozens of copper coins. She said that she found an owner in the west of the city today, and she paid more than others. She made a lot of money by washing clothes for the owner Thirty Wen.

Earning 30 Wen a day for washing and washing clothes is not bad. You must know that the family of ordinary people here may not need 30 Wen a day for chewing, and the strong labor of ordinary people’s families may only earn 30 or 40 Wen a day. Other women go to starch and wash clothes, earning ten yuan a day is not bad.

Xu Qinyu still couldn't help persuading Wen Shi, saying that she could help at home instead of going out to starch and wash clothes, which was too hard work.

Wen Shi shook her head, "Yu Niang, just let me do it."

Otherwise, the burden of the whole family will be placed on Yuniang, and she will have a disturbed conscience.

What's more, the owner...

Wen Shi clenched his fists.

Xu Qinyu saw Wen's insistence that it was not easy to persuade him, only Pei Weixuan glanced at his mother.

Wen counted the money she made today, and Xu Qinyu also took out the money box and began to count the money.

Today, forty-four Roujiamo, 16 fish, and Roujiamo are sold for eight cents, a total of three hundred and fifty-two cents.

The cost of Roujiamo is about four cents, and the cost of pigs can be ignored, mainly the cost of white noodles, eggs and spices. The net profit of one Roujiamo is about three cents. These more than 40 Roujiamos The net profit is about one hundred and fifty cents. When I go to the village to collect eggs and vegetables, the cost can be further reduced.

The cost of the fish is low, but she sells it for a low price.

One catty of fish earns about a penny. Today, 16 fish were sold for a profit of 30 penny.

Equal to today's net profit is about 180 cents.

Today is only a trial operation. If the Roujiamo and Braised Fish are selling well, they will definitely increase the amount in the future.

In fact, the profit of Roujiamo is definitely much higher than that of fish. Why didn't Mu Shi go to the wharf to continue selling Roujiamo? Xu Qinyu has her own plans. When she opens a restaurant in the future, she also intends to continue this braised whole fish. Selling, the price will not go up, it can become a means of publicity for restaurants.

Of course, in fact, she was also selfish, she just saw that those children were too pitiful.

She came out of the orphanage herself and knew too well what it was like for children to be short of food and drink.

Wen did not expect that her daughter-in-law could earn 180 pennies a day.

In this way, there are more than five taels of silver in a month, which can catch up with the salary of a sixth- or seventh-rank official.

Of course, making a living must be hard work, and it is no match for officials, peasants, businessmen, and businessmen.

Wen's family didn't collect money for her daughter-in-law. Yuniang kept all her money. The daughter-in-law had the brain to make money. What was the matter with her collecting the money, not to mention that the daughter-in-law earned it herself.

She also keeps the money she earns, and she can't ask her daughter-in-law for money everywhere.

After eating the evening meal, Mrs. Wen helped to clean up the kitchen and kitchen utensils, and Xu Qinyu began to braise the fat intestines.

The water, she scrubbed and washed it in the afternoon, and now it is directly brined.

Not much, the alley is full of the aroma of braised fat intestines.

But the children living in Osmanthus Lane did not make trouble tonight, because they also ate fragrant fish and vegetables in the evening.

The children snuggled up to their mother's side and slept, and when they smelled the scent, they just tugged at the corners of their mother's clothes, "Mother, the food made by that sister is really delicious."

The woman hugged the child and said with a smile, "Are you still greedy?"

The child nodded and shook his head, "I'm still greedy, but if I'm full at night, I'm just greedy."

The children have never eaten such a delicious evening meal. The fish that my sister sold was delicious, and even the usual sauerkraut, raisin, tofu and bean sprouts in it tasted a lot better.

"Mother, can I continue to eat fish tomorrow?" The child still wanted to eat.

The woman smiled and said, "Of course I can."

A fish is five cents, and cheap dishes like Calais, wort, tofu, etc. can also be eaten, so they spend a little more money than usual, but the whole family can eat well, especially the children can nourish their bodies, of course they know The little lady is so heartfelt and deliberately selling such delicious fish to them at a low price, otherwise, the price of this kind of craft, such delicious fish, can be doubled dozens of times in any restaurant and restaurant.

Everyone in Osmanthus Lane is very grateful to Xu Qinyu, and they all think about what will happen in the little lady's house in the future, but they must go over to help protect her.

...

Early the next morning, Xu Qinyu got up to fry eggs, pancakes, and stir-fried sauerkraut.

This time, the amount of Roujiamo was still more than 50. When the pillars came to bring Shao Ge'er to eat, Xu Qinyu gave him a Roujiamo and a bowl of porridge, which was Shao Ge'er's meal.

Yesterday cooked fresh food, so gave Xia's family a taste. Today, only Brother Shao has a share.

Seeing this, Zhuzi scratched his head and said, "Miss Xu, my master said that he also wants to buy Roujiamo."

Mainly because yesterday morning, the master ate a roujiamo, which was not enjoyable at all. He also said that he had never eaten such a delicious food in all these years.

Xu Qinyu smiled and said, "Naturally, how many meat buns does Master Xia want?"

Zhuzi smiled and said, "I want seven."

The master can eat four in one go, and the remaining three are one for him, Xiaocui and his wife.

Xu Qinyu received the money and made seven roujia buns to bring back to Zhuzi.

She also set up a stall with Pei Weixuan.

There were only forty Roujiamo left, and Xu Qinyu guessed that there would not be enough to sell at the wharf.

Sure enough, she had just arrived at the pier, and the caravan guys who had bought Roujiamo yesterday came over immediately.

When I learned that there were only about 40 Roujiamos, I immediately started queuing up. Almost all the people on the merchant ship came. Each person asked for three or four Roujiamos, which was enough for ten people to buy them. The men couldn't help crying, "Little lady, can't we really do more? We didn't even buy it."

Xu Qinyu touched her nose, "Then I'll prepare more tomorrow."

And these guys have only eaten for a day, so they must be still fresh. They can eat enough for at least ten days and a half. It seems that they should prepare more tomorrow.

It happened that the officers and soldiers of the two official boats also came down. Seeing this scene, they sneered, "It's really a countryman. He treats the things that the dogs eat into the water as treasures."

Hearing this, the people on the merchant ship dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

After the officers and soldiers finished mocking, they left together.

As a result, the group of soldiers had just walked a few steps forward, and the officers and soldiers who had just ridiculed that pigs were eaten by dogs suddenly fell and fell straight to the ground.

Xu Qinyu chuckled and glanced at Pei Weixuan again, knowing that there was no such a coincidence, it must be done by the cheap husband, and the cheap husband must have internal strength and martial arts.

Pei Weixuan lowered his eyes slightly, "Niang Yu, let's go back too."

"it is good."

Xu Qinyu's voice was cheerful.

The two pushed a cart and went to the market to buy pigs and fish.

This time Xu Qinyu bought two pictures of pigs into the water. The old man who sold fish also came yesterday, and it was still about 40 catties of herring.

After shopping, the two returned to Osmanthus Lane.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Pei Jianing sitting in the main room with red eyes, her hair was a little messy, and the jacket on her body seemed to be a little messy.

Brother Feng and Sister Qian were leaning against Pei Jianing's arms with white faces.
