Nan Guangsheng patted his chest and said, "Brother, I'm not bragging. My cousin has a copy of "Suiyuan Recipes" left behind by the imperial chef who returned home during the Jiajing period and opened a restaurant in his later years.
He has enjoyed eating so much over the years, just thinking about it and practicing it by himself. "
Chu Xiangqian had never heard of "Suiyuan Cookbook", let alone knew that Suiyuan cuisine, Tanjia cuisine, Yunlin cuisine, Dongpo cuisine, and Kongfu cuisine were collectively called official cuisine.
After listening to Nan Guangsheng's explanation, Chu Xiangqian suddenly had the idea of taking Nan Yi to Hong Kong Island.
Just thinking about it seriously, before going to Hong Kong Island, I might as well try to see if I can read the "Suiyuan Cookbook" in Nan Yi's hand, which was annotated by the imperial chef and left behind half his life experience.
"Suiyuan Recipe" was first handed down by an official during the Qianlong period. Over the years, it has focused on the unique flavors of Nanjing, as well as delicacies, special snacks from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui, as well as famous wines and teas at that time.
It’s not just a recipe.
Coupled with the imperial chef's endorsement, as long as you have it and the financial support, it should not be difficult to train a master chef of Suiyuan cuisine.
Of course, while training a master, it is also necessary to learn it yourself.
After all, if the master knows how to do it, it is really not as good as knowing how to do it yourself.
In this way, if the master wants to leave, he will have more worries.
"Tell your cousin, I have to travel a lot now, and the canteen over the street is not as good as it used to be. If he is willing, I will find someone to transfer him to a big hotel, or to the second, third, and third floors of the steel rolling mill. Four canteens.”
When Nan Guangsheng heard that Chu Xiangqian would often travel on business, he immediately panicked, "Brother, you won't go into the mountains to get game in the future?"
Chu Qianqian shook his head. Now he didn't need to go into the mountains at all, he could get enough game from the Novice Village.
Therefore, on the surface, every time he returns to the capital, he still has to go into the mountains.
By the way, I used going into the mountains as an excuse to hide in Maoer Hutong or the yard on Beach Street and do what I liked with Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e.
"Don't worry, okay, even if I go on a business trip, I will still come back in two or three months. This time, you can exchange all the 1,880 yuan for wild boars, pheasants, and hares. It's no problem."
Let's make an appointment to do business outside the city. "
Nan Guangsheng felt relieved and thought carefully, "Brother, how about making an appointment tomorrow?"
Chu Qianqian nodded indifferently and focused on the actual antiques. How much do these cost in total?
Nan Guangsheng said hurriedly, "These are all collected from old connections. According to what you said before, my grandfather received 20% of the market price of the entrusted store.
8 pieces total 310 yuan. "
Chu stretched his hand forward to check one by one, and the sounds of +21 and +17 gold coupons kept ringing in his mind.
The 8 pieces gave me a total of 153 points of gold coupons, plus the previous four paintings, it was 284 points.
In exchange for money, Nan Guangsheng would have to give 2,190 yuan.
This was because those two pictures of shrimps didn't count, but Chu Xiangqian didn't feel any pain at all now, and he didn't mean to worry about it.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Game meat costs 2 yuan a pound. Is there any problem?"
Nan Guangsheng hurriedly shook his head. Now white noodles cost 1 yuan per catty. Chu Xiangqian still used the price of 2 yuan per catty two months ago. He was already taking advantage.
2,190 yuan is 1,095 pounds, which may seem like a lot, but it’s actually only three or four wild boars.
Of course, wild boars are nothing in Chu Xiangqian's eyes, but in the eyes of Nan Guangsheng and those who are short of food, if they are all replaced with stick noodles, they can last for a year and a half.
"At twelve o'clock tomorrow night, you take people to Huilongguan and wait. I will take the initiative to find you. Do you understand?"
Nan Guangsheng nodded hurriedly, but within a few seconds he said awkwardly, "Brother, can you divide it three times?"
After saying that, he hurriedly explained, "I'm worried that it won't be safe if it's just me, my cousin, and my grandpa who follow us."
Chu Qianqian thought for a while, and this was a problem. In the past, he had old relationships with his master Gong Changqing and the master's acquaintance. After all, they still cared about his master's family, Ding Xingwang, and everyone learned martial arts.
But Nan Guangsheng's side is truly and completely in decline.
"Tomorrow at 8 o'clock in the evening, I will wait for you at the Yuhe River. You and your cousin can borrow a bicycle. After meeting, I will put some bamboo baskets and baskets on the river in batches.
You and your cousin take them in batches and give them to old relatives and friends. If someone on night patrol encounters them, they will say they are game meat obtained for the steel rolling mill.
Then it's really sent to the rolling mill, do you understand? "
Nan Guangsheng was overjoyed and said to himself that it was good that he had the identity of a buyer and nodded hurriedly.
After chatting for a while and talking about some details, Nan Guangsheng hurried back to discuss with his grandfather how much each family would give.
As soon as Nan Guangsheng left, Yan Fugui, who helped open the door, closed the courtyard door and immediately came to the door.
Only then did Chu Xiangqian realize that Yan Laozhao was talking about borrowing 100 yuan before.
It was agreed before that Yan Jiefang and Liu Guangtian would be brought into the street as non-staff personnel, and the Yan family and Liu family would not have to pay back the 200 yuan they borrowed from them.
Instead, it is offset by being able to eat one lunch on the street every day, and this meal must often include meat and vegetables.
Now that I have been out for two months, the Yan family and the Liu family will naturally suffer.
As for the second time I asked for another 200 yuan from the Yan family and the Liu family, it was the payment for two temporary workers, Yan Jiefang and Liu Guangtian.
Chu Qianqian thought for a while, "Third uncle, how about I pay you and the second uncle 200 yuan?"
Yan Fugui felt happy, but then worried that if Chu Xiangqian didn't care, even though his son and Liu Guangtian were still temporary workers on the street, they would lose the benefits of having a meal on the street.
After listening to Yan Fugui's explanation, Chu Xiangqian thought for a while and said, "Third uncle, I will go to the street tomorrow. I am still sure that Jiefang and Guangtian will have lunch."
Not to mention the old man in the administrative office would definitely be willing to get some dried meat and fish from his own hands.
Street director Cao Guanglin must have mistakenly thought that he had been transferred to another unit. He told him that it would not be difficult for Yan Jiefang and Liu Guangtian to continue working in the street canteen and have lunch.
Only then did Yan Fugui feel relieved, "Then just pay me and Lao Liu 100. After all, in this situation, it doesn't matter whether you eat meat or not. The key is having a stutter."
When Chu Xiangqian thought about it, he knew that Yan Fugui was right.
"I won't give you the money. I'll go get the dried meat tomorrow. You let Jiefang and Guangtian go to the street with the pheasants, hares and 15 pounds of dried meat they agreed on yesterday.
I believe Section Chief Duan will understand where the dried meat comes from, and let Guangtian tell Lao Duan that the price will be calculated based on the price when I was here. It also gave Guangtian and Yanji the confidence to stay on the street. "
Yan Fugui hurriedly thanked him.
After going out, after thinking for a while, Yan Laozhao went to the backyard to look for Liu Haizhong.
The second uncle felt relieved when he heard Chu Xiangqian's solution.
As for the second uncle’s desire to buy a bicycle ticket, Chu Xiangqian thought about it and refused.
After a night of silence, Chu Xiangqian woke up early the next morning and immediately entered the Novice Village to brush monsters and rode a horse for another hour.
Then he returned to reality and went out to practice boxing.
As soon as he went out, he saw several half-year-old children waiting for him in the front yard.
Chu Xiangqian didn't care about them, and he slowly performed a set of Hongquan routines on his own.
This kind of boxing with a performance quality may look good to outsiders, but insiders know that it is just for physical exercise.
No matter how hard you practice, it's just the same as doing a few sets of radio gymnastics, or practicing Tai Chi in the park.
As he was practicing, he saw Qin Huairu pretending to come out of the central courtyard, saying hello to a few middle-aged women and saying that she was going to work.
Chu moved his mouth forward, knowing that this woman was reminding him to go to the courtyard of Maoer Hutong early.
After practicing for another half an hour, I went to the reverse room to have breakfast with Aiyuan.
Then he returned to the east wing, carried a bow and arrows on his back, and carried a hunting knife when he went out and was surrounded by several neighbors.
When they heard that he was going to go hunting in the mountains, everyone felt envious.
Silly Zhu, who was going to work with his love for his country and people, immediately pulled Chu Qianqian and insisted on following him.
If Chu Xiangqian really went into the mountains, he might have agreed to let him follow him as a porter.
But now he is going to have a private meeting with Qin Huairu, so how can he agree to it?
"Now in March and April, it is the time when the blind bear has just come out of hibernation and is the most hungry. Many animals are in estrus again, and the vegetation is starting to grow leaves, so the visibility in the mountains is not good.
If you are not careful, you will be ambushed by blind bears, wolves, etc." After speaking, he glared at Silly Zhu and said, "You are not afraid of death, but I am afraid of responsibility. "
The third uncle hurriedly agreed, "Silly Zhu, Qiang Xiang is right. You have no hunting experience at all. Taking you there will be a burden."
Only then did Shazhu and the other young people become honest.
When Chu, who was riding his bicycle, walked away, Silly Zhu rolled his eyes and hurriedly said to Aiguo and Aimin, "Hurry up, I have to tell Director Xie about this.
To prevent the game your brother brought back from being snatched away by other units. "
Patriots and people could not help but smile and nod. In their opinion, as long as the eldest brother does not suffer a loss, it does not matter whether he is sold to a steel rolling mill or other units.
When Chu Xiangqian left Nanluogu Alley, he found a deserted place and put away all his bows and arrows.
I even changed my clothes, and then rode a bicycle to wander around for more than half an hour, avoiding the crowds during rush hour.
Only then did Ti Que lead the way, avoiding everyone and entering the yard of Maoer Alley.
He put the bamboo pole up on the courtyard wall, went into the kitchen and took a look to make sure that no one had touched the abandoned stove and roof, and then started to light the coal stove.
But instead of burning briquettes, they cut down a few birch trees from Xinshou Village, divided them into firewood of different sizes using gathering techniques, and piled them on the corner of the kitchen.
I boiled a pot of water, made hot tea, and steamed a roast chicken and two steamed buns in an iron pot on the coal stove.
Lying on the deck chair under the eaves of the main house, I took out the antiques I had just received from Nan Guangsheng yesterday and looked at them one by one.
At around 10 o'clock in the morning, Ti Qiao recognized Qin Huairu who had just walked into the middle section of Mao'er and the gang, and immediately gave Chu Xiangqian a warning.
Chu Xiangqian followed the line of sight of the tit and saw Qin Huairu walking this way in a hurry, and couldn't help but smile.
He got up and put all the antiques into the Novice Village warehouse.
Not long after, Qin Huairu knocked on the door and found that the door was open. She hurriedly walked into the yard, turned around and locked the door.
Seeing Chu Qianqian lying on the recliner, looking at him with a smile, Qin Huairu's heartbeat accelerated rapidly. With a pretty face, she moved step by step to the eaves, biting her lips and staring at Chu Qianqian.
Chu Qianqian immediately understood what she meant, stood up, picked up Qin Huairu and walked to the back room.
Not long after, the sound of babbling and singing came from the house.
It's just that this voice will become miserable and plaintive for a while. After a while, there was another ping-ping-pong fight.
If this courtyard wasn't close to other courtyards, and it was next to the unoccupied Wenchang Temple, people might have heard about it long ago.
More than an hour later, Qin Huairu practiced the basic skills twice, and her tired hair was soaked.
But although my body was tired, my heart felt very comfortable.
Seeing Chu Qianqian getting up and leaving the back room, he quickly gathered his energy and followed him out.
The two of them sat under the eaves, sipping the cold tea.
Now Chu Qianqian doesn't think there is any problem with drinking tea. There are still about 10 kilograms of several kinds of tea in the warehouse.
But for Qin Huairu, not to mention drinking tea made from whole tea leaves, even tea made from broken tea leaves, is a luxury.
After drinking a pot, my mouth was filled with the aroma of tea. I got up and went to the kitchen, intending to make another pot with boiling water.
Then he saw the pheasant and steamed buns hot on the coal stove. He couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, turned back to Chu Qianqian and asked, "Is this left for me?"
Chu lay forward on the recliner and said without looking back, "Why should I keep it if I don't give it to you? There's so much nonsense."
Qin Huairu didn't care whether Chu Xiangqian's tone was good or not. She made another pot of tea with a smile, then took out a few bowls and chopsticks, went to the well to get water to wash them, and placed the teapot with the pheasant and dishes. on the coffee table.
He reached out and pulled out a chicken leg and put it in Chu Qianqian's mouth. Then he pulled out a chicken wing and put it in his mouth with a smile.
Chu Xiangqian was also a little hungry. After all, he had just practiced basic skills twice with Qin Huairu. While the woman was exhausted, her own consumption was actually quite large.
And no matter how strong this body is, it still has to follow the rules of energy conservation.
But after all, these two months, the meals were all big fish and meat, so there was no shortage of nutrients.
Half of the pheasant went into my stomach. Although it was only half full, I didn't eat any more.
Seeing this, Qin Huairu couldn't help but smile. After finishing the last bite of steamed buns, she suddenly felt as comfortable as she had never felt in the past two months.
He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the cooled tea. While feeling satisfied, he saw Chu lying forward and rocking on the recliner. He suddenly felt that if he could stay like this for the rest of his life, it would be complete.
Unfortunately, these were all extravagant hopes. He sighed and simply sat on Chu Qianqian's lap, lying on his chest, enjoying the rare peace.
Chu Xiangqian was not stupid. When he heard Qin Huairu sigh, he roughly guessed what she was thinking.
He said with a smile, "Find a time and ask your father and eldest brother to bring the bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets made in the past two months into the city.
However, you can only bring things back to this yard yourself, do you understand? "
Qin Huairu was overjoyed and pointed to the utility room and said, "In the past two months, I have brought more than 100 bamboo baskets and baskets. If you hadn't given me money to order these things before, my sister-in-law might have You have to go to town and ask me for money.”
Chu Qianqian thought for a while and simply gave her another 50 and ordered 300 bamboo baskets.
Qin Huairu collected the money happily, and then asked, "When should I go to work at the junk collection station?"
