After the quarrel, Chen Nianguan took everyone to check and accept the renovated yard. The stoves in the kitchen have been repaired, and the surfaces of the two stoves are smooth, not as dilapidated as before, and a new grill was built next to it.The oven is made by stacking stones and plastering them with reference to the oven. In the middle of the oven, a grill made by a blacksmith is added, so that it becomes a simple clay oven. She will cook chicken, roast duck, and evenThe roasting was carried out here, and after the storage cabinets were moved in, the idle things were put away, and the kitchen became much more orderly.

As for the dining room, it has changed even more.

On one side is a row of cabinets that are almost as high as the house. In the future, the kitchen or the rations that are not convenient to store in the cellar can be moved here and placed in the cabinets, and then a set of round dining tables is built.

Originally, I wanted to build a dining table that could accommodate twelve people. I could consider that the wing room is not big enough. Second, in this era, there is still the habit of men and women sitting separately. It’s just that Chen Nianguan and others do not care about the sex between men and women.That’s all, I finally made two sets of small dining tables, a large one that can accommodate six people, and a small one that was moved to the main room.

Anyway, the main room is spacious, so make room for the dining area, place the dining table, and then buy a screen to separate it from the living area.

During the banquet, the female relatives are in the main room, and the gentlemen come to the dining hall.

In addition, there are also some decorative antique shelves. After moving in, Chen Nianguan nodded, um, when he has money and silver, he will buy some antique porcelain and put them on it. It will look like a wealthy family.

What makes Chen Nianguan most happy is naturally the small warehouse in the backyard of the main house.

When Wang De and Xiao You were hired to build it, they did not follow the traditional way of building walls and adding tiles on the eaves, but built a square and neat house with bricks in the simplest way, which is an ordinary modern flat house, so that it does not take up space, and there is no need for tile eaves on the top, and stone steps are built against the wall on one side to climb up. When the weather is good, the roof can also be used as a drying ground to dry something.

As for the inside of the small barn, it is an ordinary empty shell, only a stone platform is built in the corner near the window, and there are two side-by-side bamboo poles hanging from it, which seem to be used for hanging things.

Because it was not clear what the small warehouse looked like at the time, Chen Nianguan did not design the matching cabinets. Now that the house is built, cabinets can be built according to the storage needs in a few days.

My cousins knew this place when they were helping to brew cured meat. also heard from aunt and cousin that when they first sold fish curd, the pond was used to raise fish.fish back.

Now that I have seen too many small warehouses, I can't help asking: "Cousin, do we still make preserved meat?"

That cured meat makes more money than selling rice noodles. The weather has improved these days. Can buy more meat and make another batch to make a profit?

Hearing this, everyone looked at Chen Nianguan with shining eyes.

They earned more than a dozen taels of silver by selling preserved meat once, and they really want to make a few more batches.

Chen Nianwan smiled, shook his head, watched everyone's eyes dim, and said again: "However, we can make sauced meat."

Immediately, everyone became happy again, and asked one after another: "Cousin, how much sauce do you plan to make?"

"How to do it, teach us?"

"We also need to print the book!"

Chen Nianguan heard everyone's enthusiasm was high, so he couldn't disappoint them. Because he has experience in selling preserved meat, he planned to make 200 catties at the beginning, using high-quality pork belly, mainly for those businessmen who returned home from the city.With the big family.

In Funing County, in addition to the passing merchants at the wharf, there are also many foreign merchants who rely on the wharf to make a living. For the New Year, these merchants have to bring some delicious and easy-to-use Cheng Yi back to their hometown when their business is sluggish.Powder stalls peddle to them.

After a lot of response, everyone gave Chen Nianguan a share of the money on the same day.

After all, the cost has been paid, and there will be a lot of silver in the hands of the sale. Even Zhang Erlang paid five taels of silver, gave Chen Nianguan a meaningful look, and then handed it over to her.

That night, after counting the money given by everyone, Liu Chi was five taels, Liu Feng was five taels, Liu Shan was three taels, and Liu He unexpectedly gave ten taels by himself.She remembered what A Niang had said, that the members of the grandparents' family lived in the ancestral house, regardless of the family, each person had to hand over 60% of the money they earned, and the rest would go to the house.

It seems that the money earned last time, except for the grandfather, is all kept by themselves?

When Chen Nianguan told A Niang about this, Mrs. Liu also laughed, "It is estimated that the people in each house did not withhold their money too much, just waiting for this opportunity to make money for you again!"

Chen Nianguan was also happy.

It turns out that the uncles and aunts of my grandfather's family already think highly of me?Of course they cannot be disappointed.

Chen Nianguan decided to make more oyster sauce, so he had to work hard on himself and cook a few more oyster sauces.

"By the way, Aunt, you know, besides storing our sauced meat and rations, I plan to dig a cellar in that small warehouse?"

"Why dig that? Don't we already have a cellar in our kitchen?" Mrs. Liu was puzzled.

"Then, mother, do you think the cellar in the kitchen can hide people?"

Liu Shi was stunned for a moment.

Chen Nianguan was frightened by what happened in Liujia Village. Later, after inquiring about it, he also recalled his original experience, only to find out that there were actually pirates from the beach in Funing County two years ago.It was later that the imperial court sent people to suppress the bandits, and the situation gradually became peaceful at that time.

If so, Chen Nianguan thinks that one should be prepared.

Grandmother, uncles, aunts, and cousins escaped unharmed by hiding in the cellar at the beginning. The cellar that can hide has to be dug.

Miss Liu thought of her two older brothers who had died, as well as her aunt who had died due to bereavement, and finally silently agreed.

Chen Nianguan could have asked Wang De to dig the cellar by the way, but she always felt that the cellar used to hide people should not be known to outsiders casually, so she planned to do it herself.

Of course, it's my own people.

It just so happens that the stalls at the wharf will end work sooner, and it will be fine when the cousins collect the stalls and come back to dig, and she will pay him additional wages.

When Liu Chi and the others heard about what Chen Nianguan assigned to them, they all smiled and patted their chests: "Cousin/cousin, I'll take care of this, you don't need to pay me extra, as long as I earn money by making sauced meat."

Because buying pork requires manpower, and it takes manpower to open a stall, it just so happens that Liu Yun can do it now and is a skilled female worker, so Liu Yun was asked to take Liu He's place.

After driving the donkey cart to the wharf to set up the stall, Liu He took Chen Nianwan to the butcher's to choose the pork for sauce, and then went back to Yanlai Lane to move into the kitchen.Liu Yun.

Chen Nianguan uses oyster sauce for the sauced pork this time.

After cleaning several pieces of meat, dry them, cut them into long strips, spread them with oyster sauce sauce, marinate them and let them stand for a day. On the second day, cook the sauce in a large pot, put in the spices, and wait for the sauce to boilFinally, add salt and wine, stir evenly, put the meat strips in, cook them thoroughly, take them out, wait for cooling again, take out the meat strips, and wait for the sauce to dry out before tying them up with ropes to dry.

Like preserved meat, sauced meat needs to be dried for about eight to ten days, but the storage time is shorter than that of preserved meat, but in this cold weather, it can be kept for about two months without deterioration.

Chen Nianguan cooks a batch of sauced meat every day, not to mention that everyone in the family is tempted by the smell of the sauce. Every household in Yanlai Lane smells this fragrance every day, and they know that it is Chenjiahe.Chen Sansao and Chen Si, who are fans, are cooking delicious food again.

That's right, with the popularity of Chenjia Hor Fun, many people in Yanlai Lane know that Chen Sansao and Chen Nianguan's family live here.We all know that Mrs. Chen and Miss Chen Si have good cooking skills, but if there is a smell from their house, they must be cooking.

Chen Nianguan didn't know that during these days, their Chen family was fragrant every day, but many people suffered, and the family living behind their yard, it turned out that the owner of the yard, the Zeng family, was one of the sufferers.
