Seeing Sister Ning's appearance, Xu Qinyu was taken aback, pushed the cart into the courtyard, and hurried into the house with her skirt, "Sister Ning, what happened?"

"Sister-in-law Si." Pei Jianing wiped away tears, "Someone came to make trouble, saying that the fish I bought from you yesterday was not tasty, and asked me to refund her the money."

It turned out that after Pei Jianing and the fourth elder brother and fourth sister-in-law left with Wen Shi, they took Brother Feng and sister Xian to write and draw on the snow in the courtyard, teaching them how to read and write.

After a while, someone knocked on the door, and slammed the door in a hurry.

Pei Jianing went to open the door and found that it was an old lady with high cheekbones.

Seeing her, the old woman began to yell, "Yesterday afternoon, did your little lady sell some braised herring in the alley? She also said that if the taste is not good, you can ask her for a refund. After I bought the fish yesterday, I found The mouth is full of fishy smell, it's unpalatable to death, hurry up and ask your little lady to give me a refund."

Pei Jianing was dumbfounded, but quickly realized.

She knows how the food tastes of the fourth sister-in-law, but even she is used to the jade plate delicacies. He said: "Auntie, don't talk nonsense, I know very well how my fourth sister-in-law's food tastes, and those who bought fish in this alley yesterday also know very well that you are the only one here to mess around, you just want to eat for nothing!"

"Oh, I'm quite old, can't I still lie to you for a few money?"

The old lady rolled her eyes and saw that the kitchen door was open. Without saying a word, she pushed Pei Jianing away and walked towards the kitchen.

Pei Jianing was a bit stupid, even though he was on the way to exile, he didn't deal with the people from the Wen family, but he only had a few heated verbal quarrels, and he had never seen such a brazen old woman in the market.

She was so angry that she followed immediately.

Seeing the old woman enter the kitchen, she began to look around, rummaged through the cabinets, and found out all the spices that the fourth sister-in-law had put in the cabinet. Seeing these spices, the old woman's eyes lit up, and she wanted to reach out to get them.

Pei Jianing immediately shouted: "If you dare to touch our family's things, I will report to the authorities immediately! Especially this spice, which is expensive, and only pharmacies can sell it. If you report to the official, you can find out whether your family bought the spice. , or our family bought it, stealing things can be a felony!"

When the old woman heard this, she was a little afraid. These days, no one is not afraid of being an errand.

But she saw that the spices were placed in the cupboard, so she knew that this little lady must have put spices in the fish.

Thinking that she already knew the reason why Miss Xu's fish was delicious, the old lady was in a good mood, and turned around and asked Pei Jianing to ask for eight cents for buying fish yesterday.

Pei Jianing blushed with anger, and began to argue that her fourth sister-in-law made delicious fish, but she was the one messing around.

The old woman didn't listen at all and refused to let her go, just asking her to take the money out.

Brother Feng and Sister Xian cried out in fright. Brother Feng was dumb and couldn't even make a sound when crying. He died, and he hasn't spoken since then. Seeing the two children crying now, Pei Jianing's heart aches for Pei Jianing, so he can only go to take care of the two children first, but the old woman pulls her clothes and asks for money.

There was too much movement here, and the two surrounding families heard the sound and came to have a look.

Finding out that Mrs. Luo from the house at the end of the alley was causing trouble, she immediately stepped forward to help.

Pei Jianing had never been humiliated before, so he told the story over and over with red eyes, and said: "My fourth sister-in-law's cooking tastes good, all sisters-in-law and aunts should know best, she is just messing around."

The two women immediately started pointing at Mrs. Luo, scolding her for shame, "I don't know how good the fish made by her little lady is, it's even better than the one in the big restaurant in the east of the city, and they sold it to us cheaply because of our neighbors. We have received benefits, but you just want to eat for nothing, Mrs. Luo, we have been neighbors for so many years, and no one knows what kind of person you are."

Mrs. Luo sneered, "It's the same as you have tasted the food in that big restaurant."

The two women were so angry that they pulled Mrs. Luo out of the house, and then turned to comfort Pei Jianing, asking her to close the courtyard door and take care of the two children at home, and wait for the adults in the family to come back.

After the people left, Pei Jianing closed the courtyard door, hugged Brother Feng and Sister Xian in his arms, and began to cry softly.

After hearing what had happened, Xu Qinyu blushed with anger, turned around and went into the kitchen, came out with a large kitchen knife, and walked towards the gate of the yard sullenly, wanting to go to the end of the alley to settle accounts with the old woman.

There are only a dozen or so families in Osmanthus Alley, and she remembers who the old lady at the end of the alley was mentioned by Sister Ning.

The old lady who kept rolling her eyes when she was selling fish yesterday was still pestering her to try the fish.

It was the first time that Pei Jianing saw the fourth sister-in-law so angry, and the fourth sister-in-law was so angry that she took a kitchen knife and tried to help her out, she was stunned.

Before Xu Qinyu reached the gate of the courtyard, she was pulled by Pei Weixuan, "Mother Yu, don't go, wait for her to come."

Xu Qinyu held the hand of the kitchen knife for a while, and after thinking about it, she knew that the old lady came to the house today for two purposes. One was to eat free food, and she wanted to go back with the eight cents she spent yesterday. The second reason must be because she was interested in selling fish. It is so delicious and can make money. She is thinking about the recipe for making fish. She deliberately visits her house to make trouble when the adults are away. She wants to look at her kitchen. She guesses that when she cooks fish, the old lady will definitely appear.

It's really not good to come to the door now. If this old lady has strong labor at home, she can't beat her by herself.

Even if the cheap husband followed and beat the people, the government would only think that they came to make trouble.

It is indeed better to wait for Mrs. Luo to come to the door.

Xu Qinyu turned back to comfort Pei Jianing, "Sister Ning, don't be afraid, wait for the fourth sister-in-law to vent your anger."

In fact, Pei Jianing didn't feel any more at this moment. For some reason, seeing the fourth sister-in-law protecting her like this, she was not angry anymore, and felt a little warm in her heart.

Xu Qinyu could only put the matter of Mrs. Luo aside and start to deal with the fish he bought.

Pei Jianing hesitated, and took the initiative to help his sister-in-law move two pots of herring to the well, and began to help scrape the fish scales.

Xu Qinyu couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, Ning Jie'er was also growing up slowly, it was nice.

When he first entered the house, the courtyard door was open, but now Xu Qinyu did not allow the courtyard door to be closed, so it was left wide open.

She was very quick in killing fish, she scraped the scales of seven or eight fish, Ning Jie'er only scraped one, but the cheap husband did a good job, scraping three.

She also came to open the fish's intestines and break the belly, because she was afraid that the two of them would break the fish gallbladder in the fish's belly. If the bitter gallbladder in the fish's belly was broken and the bile penetrated into the fish's head, no matter how the fish was stewed When boiled, it will be a bit bitter and the taste will not be good.

And there is only a kitchen knife, only she can come.

In fact, the chefs are very particular about the kitchen knives. She has dozens of kitchen knives, and they are all customized by someone.

But now there are no such conditions, and she can cut flowers with a kitchen knife.

The fish was handled quickly. As usual, it was marinated with salt and ginger slices and a little Huadiao wine to remove the fishy smell.

When the fish was almost marinated, Xu Qinyu began to stew the fish.

This time she also took the spices out of the cabinet and placed them on the chopping board.

After a while, the smell spread from the kitchen, and the whole alley was filled with the smell of stewed fish.

Mrs. Luo at the end of the alley also smelled the fragrance, and immediately followed the smell to Pei's house.

When Mrs. Luo came to Pei's house, she was overjoyed when she saw the courtyard door open, and went directly into the courtyard.

Pei Jianing was still playing in the snow in the courtyard with her two children. Seeing the old lady Luo, her face turned cold, "You old lady dare to come."

Mrs. Luo ignored the little girl and went straight to the kitchen.

When she entered the kitchen, she saw that the little lady who was selling fish was busy yesterday. There was a pot of herring simmered in the pot, which was covered with sauce and filled with the aroma of the house.

And there are five or six kinds of spices on the chopping board next to her, all of which she saw in the cabinet in the morning.

Mrs. Luo was overjoyed, thinking that she had mastered the secret recipe for this little lady to make delicious fish, and also thought, no wonder the family made delicious food. It turned out that the spices were put in, and they knew that the spices could be eaten. She came to ask for the eight pennies today, but it was just an excuse, just to see if she could find this family's delicious recipe for fish.

If she could make fish herself and set up a stall, or sell the prepared fish to a big restaurant, she would definitely not sell it so cheaply, with such a good taste, it would be more expensive to sell it and not make a lot of money.

Now she thinks she has the secret recipe for the little lady to make delicious fish, and she doesn't want the eight cents to be cheap for the little lady, and plans to give it back in a while.

She never thought that if she really wanted to use these spices to make fish, how could it be sold for five cents or eight cents a piece.

And these spices are indeed put out to deceive Mrs. Luo.

Xu Qinyu's delicious recipe for braised herring is not spice.

These spices are only used for braised fat sausages. She cooks delicious fish mainly by killing the fish and marinating the fish to deal with the fishy smell. It is also good for frying the fish. Of course, the prepared sauce is also very important, but there is only soy sauce vinegar and a little bit in it. Star anise powder, even if she gave star anise, she gave very little. The fish she made had no fishy smell and still retained the freshest taste of fish.

Even if you use spice, you can't give it at will. If you don't make your mouth full of spice, it will only make it more unpalatable.

When Mrs. Luo saw these spices, she immediately remembered several kinds of spices in her heart, and then she opened her throat and shouted, "Little lady, you said yesterday that if the fish you bought back is not delicious, you will have to refund the money. The fish is unpalatable, and everyone in my family says it is unpalatable, so please return the money to me now."

Holding the kitchen knife, Xu Qinyu asked angrily, "Since my aunt said that the fish I made was unpalatable, it must be impossible to eat. If my aunt gave me the fish that I didn't eat, I'll give you the eight cents."

Mrs. Luo was speechless, where did she have any fish.

Yesterday, the pot of fish came home and added side dishes. The son told the old man that it was delicious. Even she only ate a few mouthfuls. Almost the whole fish entered the mouth of the old man and his son.

Mrs. Luo immediately said, "That fish is unpalatable. I threw it away to feed the wild dogs on the roadside."

Xu Qinyu laughed angrily, this old woman is really talking nonsense with her eyes open, shameless!

She has been catering for many years, and she has met many wonderful guests, so she can handle it with ease, and she doesn't care about such sloppy guests, "Okay, I can refund you the money."

"Then you hurry back."

Talking here, the surrounding neighbors also heard Mrs. Luo's shouting.

When they smelled the fragrance, they knew that the little lady next door was coming back, and they were still making braised herring. They would definitely sell them at night. Naturally, they didn't want the little lady to be bullied by Mrs. Luo. Pei Jianing entered the kitchen after saying hello.

As soon as they entered the kitchen, the smell was even stronger, and the two neighbors didn't dare to look at the stove.

Cooks don’t like others stealing from teachers to learn skills. This kind of stealing from teachers and learning skills can be reported to the government and arrested!

One of the two neighbors was a woman in her twenties, and the other was an old woman about the same size as Mrs. Luo.

When the two saw it, they said angrily, "Miss Luo, are you still shameless?"

Mrs. Luo rolled her eyes at the two of them, "She said she was willing to return the money to me."

Both of them couldn't help but look at Xu Qinyu.

Xu Qinyu twisted the kitchen knife and said, "Did you push my sister in the morning? You apologize to my sister, and I will refund you the money." She called Ning Jie'er into the room again.

Pei Jianing entered the room and stared at Mrs. Luo.

Mrs. Luo pouted, "Sister, it was my wife who was wrong this morning. I'll apologize to you."

After speaking, she grinned and looked at Xu Qinyu, but she didn't lose anything with a few words of lip service. Instead, she saw the recipe for making fish. This little lady must not know what she lost.

Xu Qinyu didn't say a word, took eight cents of money from the purse and threw it to the old lady. A few copper coins were sprinkled on the ground. The old lady squatted and picked it up. The baby blew the dust that did not exist on it, and left happily. .

When she left, the two women in the neighbor were a little embarrassed.

The older old woman looked apologetic, "It's my fault, little lady, I should have told you when I saw Mrs. Luo buying fish from you yesterday. Selling such cheap and delicious fish to us, she dares to make trouble for free food." I really didn't expect that the little lady was doing good things to sell them cheap fish, but Mrs. Luo really dared to ask for a refund because the fish was not delicious.

Mrs. Luo is very famous in the alley. She has a son and a daughter. She sold her daughter to a kiln a few years ago to marry her son.

And this old woman took her daughter's life-saving money to marry a daughter-in-law to her son. The daughter-in-law is also a poor person, and she was sold by her parents' family.

After marrying into Mrs. Luo's house, she gave birth to two daughters.

Mrs. Luo treats her daughter-in-law with no nose or eyes, and beats and scolds her all day long, as well as her two granddaughters.

Those who stutter at home are also concerned about their son and their own old man. Her daughter-in-law and two granddaughters definitely didn't eat a bite of the fish bought yesterday.

After hearing this, Xu Qinyu frowned, feeling uncomfortable, and finally said, "It's not my aunt's fault, no one thought she could do such a thing, but we won't sell any of our family's food to her in the future. of."

The woman said: "Of course I can't sell it to her again."

Just like that, the aunt didn't dare to look at the stove, and said, "Little lady, remember to lock the courtyard door when cooking, and don't let others learn the recipe for cooking."

Xu Qinyu smiled, "Okay, thank you for reminding me, auntie."

She deliberately let Mrs. Luo see it. Mrs. Luo wanted to apologize sincerely, not to steal the formula by refunding the money. This matter is over, but if she has bad intentions and wants to use the formula she saw to make money, she is the one who is unlucky.

Xu Qinyu sent the two of them out and continued to stew the fish.

After receiving Mrs. Luo's apology, Pei Jianing was completely relieved, and came over to thank Xu Qinyu.

Xu Qinyu said in a warm voice: "It's as long as Ning is fine, from now on, don't open the door to anyone when Ning is at home."

After she finished speaking, she still felt unsafe, so she said to Pei Weixuan who was sitting by the stove helping to watch the fire, "Fourth brother, I want to raise a dog and come back to look after the nursing home, what does fourth brother think?"

Otherwise, all the adults in the family would go out to work, leaving only three children at home. Sister Ning is only eleven or twelve years old, and she is also a half-grown child. Can't protect the two smaller children.

Pei Weixuan nodded, "Okay."

Xu Qinyu immediately said, "Fourth brother, remember to find someone who can be cultivated to be fierce and know how to protect the Lord."

Big and fierce, it can protect the Lord.

"Okay, I'll look for it." Pei Weixuan lowered his eyes, keeping Yuniang's request in mind.

Listening to the conversation of the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law, Sister Ning always felt a little uneasy. She remembered that when she was in the palace, everyone felt that the fourth brother was withdrawn and liked to keep some strange and fierce pets, but those pets were very obedient and caring. host.

No, probably not, this is not the palace, where to find those ferocious things.

Sister Ning was also relieved, thinking that the fourth brother was at most looking for the offspring of the wolf and the dog for the fourth sister-in-law, that is, a wolf dog. heard that it can raise a big one and is very protective.

Xu Qinyu quickly put aside Mrs. Luo's affairs and concentrated on stewing fish.

She is the most attentive when cooking food, and never gets distracted by other things.

Pei Weixuan's eyes fell on Yuniang's face. When she was making food, her whole body seemed to be radiant and shining, making people unable to help but turn their eyes to her.

...

The stewed three-pot fish was soon ready, and the three-pot fish was carried to the cart, and Xu Qinyu pushed the cart to sell it in the alley.

When the ten or so families in Osmanthus Alley heard the voice of the little lady, they consciously came out with pots and money. When they saw Xu Qinyu, they all called out to the little lady with a smile on their faces. Some women even brought their children When he came out, the child also held onto the corner of his adult's clothes, hiding behind the adult and showing half of his face to Xu Qinyu, just like a cat watching people secretly in the dark.

There were also some children who were eight or nine years old and smiled shyly at Xu Qinyu.

Xu Qinyu also smiled at the children.

Sanpenyu sold very quickly, and they were all bought by people in Osmanthus Alley.

Mrs. Luo's house was closed, and she didn't come out to buy fish.

The two families next to Xu Qinyu told everyone what Mrs. Luo did in the noon and afternoon while the neighbors were buying fish.

Everyone in the alley was very angry, scolded Mrs. Luo, and finally said to Xu Qinyu, "If you are busy during the day, my little lady, the children in the family can also come to our house. We also have two children in our family. It's good to play together Yes, if the children don't want to come, if there is something wrong at home, let the children shout a few times, we can all hear them, and we will definitely help immediately."

Xu Qinyu naturally responded and thanked her.

After selling the fish, Xu Qinyu and Pei Weixuan went home.

This time Wenshi still waited until dusk to go home, and today Wenshi still earned thirty Wen.

Xu Qinyu also told Wen about what happened today.

When Wen Shi heard that her daughter was almost being bullied, she was so distressed that she planned not to go to the boss's laundry tomorrow, but to stay at home and watch over the children.

Pei Jianing didn't have much fear, but she knew that the fourth sister-in-law loved her mother and didn't want her to go out to wash clothes for others, so she didn't say anything, just letting her stay at home.

...

Let's say Mrs. Luo returned home with eight Wen coins, she was very happy, but when she saw her daughter-in-law and two granddaughters working, her face immediately collapsed, and she scolded: "You damn bitch, you're grinding again!" Mo Haw doing something, seeing you upset, get the hell out of here."

Mrs. Lin was scolded by her mother-in-law, but she just lowered her head and said nothing, got up and went into the kitchen to cook.

She gave birth to two daughters, one was eight years old and the other was six years old. She hurt her body when she gave birth to the youngest daughter, and she has not been pregnant for several years.

Mrs. Luo was cursing and swearing. Seeing her daughter-in-law entered the kitchen, the two little granddaughters were also trembling with fright. She gave the two granddaughters a blank look, and called the two girls to come over and squeeze her shoulders and legs.

The two granddaughters are only eight and four years old, and she plans to support them. If they are older, they can marry and collect money. If they can't receive a bride price, they might as well sell them to a kiln.

When get the money in the future, can let son divorce this bitch who doesn't lay eggs, and then marry son to a wife and give birth to a son.

The daughter-in-law is busy cooking in the kitchen.

Soon, her old man and her son also came back from outside.

Mrs. Luo's son is a shopkeeper, and the old man drives a donkey cart all day long, wandering around the city to see if anyone needs a cart.

The weather has been cold recently, and the business of the two has plummeted, and they only earned 20 yuan a day. Fortunately, the business was good before, and the family also had some savings, which was enough to live on.

As soon as the old man Luo entered the house, he said to his son, "The alley is full of fish smells. Put some bean sprouts and tofu in it later, and the radish and cabbage are enough."

Then he shouted at Mrs. Luo, "Old lady, I told you this morning to remember to buy fish in the afternoon. Did you buy it? I can smell the fragrance all over the alley, and the smoke from every household's kitchen is smoking. The fish cooked by that young lady is really delicious. It’s also fortunate that our alleys are all neighbors, so we got a bargain.”

Mrs. Luo came out happily and said to the old man Luo and her son, "Old man, son, you don't know, I learned the fish recipe from that little lady, so I didn't buy fish today, and I even asked for the money for buying fish yesterday Come back, don’t worry, tomorrow I will go out to buy fish without spices, and cook it for you when I come back. If it is delicious, we will also set up a stall and sell it in the east and west of the city. A fish can be sold for tens or hundreds of dollars. Make money?"

"What did you say?" Old man Luo thought he heard it wrong, "How did you learn the formula? Will someone teach you?"

Mrs. Luo naturally didn't say that she went to other people's house to be a rascal, but said: "I went to the little lady's house to see it in the afternoon. Don't worry, old man. Let's just eat some boiled tofu tonight."

She felt that Mrs. Xu not only used those spices to stew fish, but also used them to boil pork offal to make rougamo. A rougamo sold for eight Wen. When she knew it, she would sell it too.

She was going to buy some spices, and the fish and pigs went into the water and came back to try.

The old man Luo frowned at his son. He didn't say much after all. It would be great if he really got the prescription. In the future, he can cook and eat at home, and he can sell it for a lot of money.

After selling for a lot of money, will change to a big house, and will never live in this dilapidated house again.

Mrs. Lin in the kitchen heard it, her eyes mocking. She knew exactly how her mother-in-law went to other people's houses to make trouble in the noon and afternoon. She knew that the old woman must have deliberately used the money back to go to other people's houses to peek.

The next day, Xu Qinyu continued to go to the pier to set up a stall.

This time, she had a lot of braised fat intestines, about one hundred and ten roujiamo.

In the morning, Master Xia bought seven, Brother Shao had one, and ate six by himself. There were still more than 90 left, which should be enough to sell.

When we got to the pier, the Roujiamo was selling very fast. Even the guys on another merchant ship with a big letter hanging on it couldn't help the smell. They wanted to buy it and try it, but there was a long queue in front of the stall. , Everyone buys three or four, and when it's their turn, they'll be sold out, so these Shen guys plan to discuss with another merchant ship, and they have the cheek to buy one and try it.

Unexpectedly, these people heard that they wanted to buy the taste of their hand, and immediately ran onto the boat with the roujiamo in their hands.

Seeing that they didn't want to sell one, Shen Guy decided to take a bite. He continued to have the cheek to discuss with the person who bought it if he could give them a taste.

In the end, these people still reacted the same, and ran away with their roujiamo in their hands.

It's a joke, the little lady's stall is only twice as much today as yesterday, and it's barely enough for the people on their merchant ship to buy it. If you give the people from the Shen family's merchant ship a foot, let them know how delicious this Roujiamo is. Are you going to rob them? The little lady also said that today's more than 90 roujiamo is the limit, and she can't make it any more, let alone give others a taste.

But don't know that the more people on the Shen family merchant ship are not allowed to eat, the more curious they are, and the more they can't stand the smell, and they all plan to get up early tomorrow and come to line up early!

I still can't believe the people on these Han merchant ships!

Today is an early closing again.

Xu Qinyu took the stall and bought vegetables and went back. She didn't know that the old lady Luo also went to buy fish today, bought a pair of pigs for water, and then went to the pharmacy to buy those spices.

Although those are spices, they are also medicinal materials, and they are generally sold in pharmacies.

Mrs. Luo didn't dare to buy too many spices in one go. She bought a little bit of each item, but she also spent about a coin or two, which made her feel bad, but she felt very proud when she thought of making a lot of money in the future.

In order to show off, she deliberately waited until the evening when her son and the old man returned before starting the evening meal.

She can cook by herself, but her craftsmanship is very mediocre and tasteless.

This time, in order to make it more delicious, deliberately gave more lard, added a pot of water, threw all the ingredients in the pot, added spices, ginger, soy sauce, and salt to start cooking.

She bought five fish in one go and simmered them in one pot, because she saw that Mrs. Xu was simmering in such a pot.

Using a home iron pot to stew fish, the pig stewed on the small stove is put into the water, which is similar to the practice of stewing fish.

After she bought this fat sausage, she endured nausea and washed it twice with clean water, then threw it in the casserole and started to cook it.

At this time, other people in Osmanthus Lane ate the fish stewed by Xu Xiaoniangzi.

For some reason, there is always a strange medicinal smell in the alley.

Someone couldn't help but said: "What kind of smell is this, it's too unpleasant, could it be a decoction?"

But even if the decoction is decoction, it is only the smell of medicine, unlike this stench, which smells a little in the stomach.

As for the Luo family, Old Man Luo and Dagen Luo didn't look very good-looking, Old Man Luo couldn't help but scolded: "Old lady, you really read this recipe right? That little lady really boils fish and boils pigs like this? Why is this? It smells so unpleasant, when people cook it, the alley is filled with the smell of meat."

Mrs. Luo looked embarrassed, "Maybe it smells bad when it's cooked, but it's delicious after it's cooked. Try it when it's cooked."

The old man Luo did not speak with a dark face.

When there was a gurgling sound in the pot and the juice started to be collected, the smell became even more unpleasant.

The old man Luo's face turned even darker.

Finally, the juice in the pot was almost collected, and Mrs. Luo couldn't wait to lift the lid of the pot, but the smell was even worse. She was the first to bear the brunt. Realizing that the fish she made was wrong, she turned blue when she tasted the fish with a chopstick.

This fish tasted bitter and fishy, ​​with a smell of medicinal herbs, and it was extremely uncomfortable to eat into the mouth.

It was uglier than what she usually made, and much uglier.

When old man Luo saw that the old woman's expression was not right, he also walked over to pick up a chopstick and tasted it, chewed it twice and spit it out on the ground, punching the old woman in the face, "This is what you said you learned the formula, Can you make it yourself and eat it? Can you set up a stall and sell it to a restaurant to make a lot of money? You can taste it and feed it to wild dogs, I’m afraid they won’t even eat it! It’s a waste of my money, do you know what it is? How long will Dagen and I have to run for two silver dollars?"

Mrs. Luo was punched in the eye, screamed, and said tremblingly, "No, isn't there still a pot of pigs in the water? Say, maybe..."

Before she could finish speaking, old man Luo went to the stove and opened the lid. He felt that the smell was stronger than the fish in the pot. Enduring his nausea, he took a piece of large intestine out, cut a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. This time he couldn't bear it. Stop, the old man Luo was smoked and vomited directly.

Mrs. Luo was completely dumbfounded.

Old man Luo couldn't bear it anymore, so he beat Mrs. Luo.

Mrs. Luo cried and shouted, "Don't beat me, old man, I, I'll talk to that little lady right away and ask her to pay me the money."

"You idiot!" Old Man Luo scolded, "I'm afraid you want to go to jail, how did you get this formula? You didn't just spy on others!"

Mrs. Luo was completely speechless, yes, why would she go to someone to ask for a tael of silver? If someone reported to the official, how could she tell the official that she peeked at someone's formula, but she learned nothing like it? Stealing people's skills will lead to imprisonment.

The reason why I was able to get back the eight coins for buying fish was the little lady's own promise, and it was not the little lady's promise that she secretly learned the formula.

Mrs. Luo was extremely depressed.

"Hey." Luo Dagen sighed, "Then our family will no longer be able to eat such delicious fish?"

Mrs. Luo covered her swollen eyes and said, "Son, don't panic. At worst, let your daughter-in-law go buy fish from Mrs. Xu tomorrow. Mother knows that she made a mistake. When her eyes get better, she will apologize to Mrs. Xu."

She was thinking that Mrs. Xu looked soft, so she went to apologize and ease the relationship. After the relationship between the two families was reconciled, she was talking about how the braised herring and braised large intestine were made.

...

The Pei family has also finished their evening food, and Xu Qinyu is just preparing to marinate the large intestine, so he can rest earlier after finishing his work earlier.

As a result, as soon as the large intestine was put into the brine pot, could smell this unpleasant smell.

Xu Qinyu's face was strange, and she probably guessed what was going on, then the old lady of the Luo family must have seen the spices she put on the stove, secretly memorized them, and then went to buy spices and ingredients, but she didn't know how to make them. thought it was the same as ordinary cooking, all thrown in a pot and cooked in one pot, the fish and fat intestines were not cleaned, and the wrong proportion of spices was added, so the taste became like this.

If you want her to say, this old lady deserves what she deserves, how can there be such a weird person!

Fortunately, the other neighbors are very nice and easy to get along with. Today, some families are afraid that Mrs. Luo will come to their house to cause trouble, so they went out to see it a few times, but Wen Shi is at home today, and Wen Shi is also worried that his daughter and granddaughter will be bullied at home. .

Pei Weixuan sat by the stove and watched the fire, and his expression was only indifferent when he smelled the unpleasant smell.

Fortunately, after a while, Yu Niang started to marinate the fat sausages, and the whole kitchen was full of meaty smell again.

Smelling the familiar aroma of meat, every household in Osmanthus Lane finally felt at ease, falling asleep with the aroma of stewed sausage.

Early the next morning, Xu Qinyu went to the pier to set up a stall.

Before she got to the stall, she saw a long queue at the place where the stall was set up these days.

It turned out that another merchant ship hadn't bought Roujiamo for two days in a row, so it came down early today to line up.

Most of the guys on these merchant ships are strong laborers in their twenties and thirties, who can eat and are full of energy. At this moment, they feel a little bit arguing in the queue, pushing and shoving.

But when they saw Xu Qinyu and Pei Weixuan, they immediately stopped and started shouting, "Little lady, you've come."

The people in the queue behind also began to shout, "Little lady, do we have a share in today's Roujiamo?"

Seeing the long queue, Xu Qinyu had no choice but to say, "There are still only about a hundred Roujiamo today, but each person can only buy two today." In this way, everyone can basically buy it.

There was a wail at the front of the line, and those behind the line clapped their hands and cheered.

It was less than half an hour today, and all the Roujiamo were sold out.

The officers and soldiers on the official ships also figured out something. They thought that the people on the merchant ships had never eaten good food, and they regarded pigs in the water as good things, but they had eaten them for a few days. Why didn't they eat enough? He looked like he was enjoying himself while eating.

But is this thing really delicious? The fragrance is really fragrant.

But before they said that pigs would not even eat dogs, and they couldn't have the cheek to line up with the people on these merchant ships.

In the afternoon, Xu Qinyu was also selling braised fish in Osmanthus Lane at about the same time.

Every household was also familiar with Zhang Cheng, and when the little lady called out, they came out with a basin.

Xu Qinyu cooks more than a dozen braised fish every day, and she has no plans to increase the quantity of braised fish. The pot is not big enough, and it takes three pots to make it well. If she increases the amount, she will be too tired.

As soon as Xu Qinyu yelled twice, every household opened the courtyard door and came out with basins.

When Xu Qinyu was almost busy and most of the fish had been sold, a thin woman with a sallow complexion stammered, "Little lady, I want a braised herring that costs eight yuan."
