Su Qingluan, who finally had an idea for how to configure jam flavors, had a great appetite and felt that the taste of the dishes was even better.
Moreover, she was thinking about other things just now and did not pay all her attention to the dishes other than the bones. Su Qingluan came back to her senses at this time and realized that the cucumber shreds she originally used as a side dish had been replaced by green bamboo shoot shreds. replace.
Although green bamboo shoots are less fragrant than cucumber shreds, they have a unique flavor and are crispier.
Su Qingluan took a bite of the rice roll with a smile, and then picked up the white radish that had been stewed until it was soft and delicious, and became translucent. The oily soup immediately rushed into the mouth along with the sweetness of the radish.
Mixed Sansi is a side dish made with shredded bamboo shoots, lotus root, and radish. Although the three vegetables all have a crisp texture, they are all slightly different.
Su Qingluan smiled and ate and drank enough - tea was of course considered drinking - and went to shopkeeper Liang to inform him.
Shopkeeper Liang gave this month's dividend to Su Qingluan - it was indeed a lot less, not to mention that compared to the seventy taels in the first month, even the thirty-four taels last month were much less - twenty One or two.
This was the result of Shopkeeper Liang filling in the small change for himself, otherwise he would have been short of dozens of copper coins.
However, even this minimum one-month dividend is enough for a large family to last for two or three years.
It can be seen that everyone's life is really not that comfortable.
However, with a dish like "Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate", Su Qingluan believes that her dividends can be higher.
After coming out of Hongfu Tower, Su Qingluan did not go home directly, but went to the market again.
Recently, every day or two, she would ask around the market about the price of salt, meat, grain, fruits and vegetables, etc...
It's not that she has nothing to do, mainly because the autumn harvest is coming to an end recently. Soon, many farmers will take the harvested autumn vegetables to the market to sell and buy some daily necessities.
As autumn vegetables become available in large quantities, prices are bound to drop. Su Qingluan herself is not short of money, but considering that other families in Huaxi Village may not have the same budget as theirs, Su Qingluan still wants to find out the best price as much as possible.
In addition, Su Qingluan also discovered that although there were a number of butchers in the town, and each stall slaughtered a certain number of sheep and pigs, and the supply was in short supply all year round, she discovered that there was another one that could be purchased. The channel of meat - Orion.
There are no wildlife protection laws in this era, and judging from the current situation where many people have too much time to take care of themselves, it is a problem for people themselves to survive in the harsh winter, let alone protecting animals.
So Su Qingluan also asked some hunters, and they all said that autumn, especially late autumn and early winter, is when many animals prepare to survive the winter and their body fat stores are the most abundant, so they often go hunting in the mountains at this time. Can be sold at a good price.
Su Qingluan wrote down the prices at which these hunters sold various wild animals in previous years, just in case they could be used later.
Since Su Qingluan received the deposit from Xie Mansion two days ago, she has been calculating how much wages should be paid to each household before winter.
Later, she felt that in addition to food, salt for pickling food, and other seasonings, thick clothes, a warm house, and sufficient firewood, etc. were all necessary reserve materials that could increase everyone's survival rate.
After this calculation, the budget is much larger.
When Su Qingluan was walking around the market, she originally wanted to buy some oranges and grapefruits, but unexpectedly she saw lemons and bought some by the way.
I went to the bamboo weaving craftsman and bought some fresh bamboo tubes. After walking around for a while, I happened to meet the mother who was closing the stall and the father who had gone to pick up his younger brother. They all went back together.
On the way, Su Xuanhe saw the lemon at a glance and frowned in disgust: "Sister, what did you buy this citron for? It's so sour that you can't even eat it!"
Su Qingluan smiled and said: "Its juice can replace rice vinegar, making cold dishes softer, and can also remove the fishy smell. Whether it is peel or pulp, if cooked with meat, it will not only make the meat more delicious, but also make the meat more delicious." It makes the meat more tender.”
"Eh..." After hearing Sister's explanation, Su Xuanhe no longer looked disgusted, but looked at the yellow lemon with great curiosity.
Returning to Huaxi Village, I met the uncle who made tofu on the road. He was selling tofu one by one on his back.
Huaxi Village is not big, so this family only makes tofu. They make braised tofu every other day, and make thousands of tofu every other day.
Su Qingluan likes this tofu restaurant very much. It is much more delicious than the ones in the town. The tofu cubes are fresh, smooth and tender, and the tofu sheets are so-called dry tofu that is so thin that it is almost transparent.
Today happened to be the day when thousands of sheets of tofu were sold, so Su Qingluan quickly stepped forward and bought a few sheets.
"Sister, are you going to cook Qianzhang Tofu again today?" Su Xuanhe's eyes lit up.
Yang smiled and said, "It seems you didn't eat enough last time." Su Xuanhe didn't deny it, he just scratched his hair and smiled stupidly.
Last time Su Qingluan wanted to eat "dried tofu with hot peppers", but there were no hot peppers, so he had to use dogwood instead to create a spicy taste. He also fried the dry tofu with soy sauce to thicken it, which was not too different from the dry tofu with hot peppers. many.
However, other people in the Su family have naturally never eaten the original version of dried spicy tofu, so they all ate it very happily.
Su Qingluan smiled and shook her head: "We won't eat dried tofu with sharp pepper today. Let's eat something else."
Su Xuanhe wanted to ask again, but Su Qingluan just laughed and said nothing.
Su Xuanhe also knew that as long as his sister took action, there would be nothing unpleasant to eat, so he stopped interfering.
When she was in the kitchen at home, Su Qingluan pulled out a small handful of coriander from her own garden in the backyard, and pulled out an onion from the row under the eaves - now, the onion has fully grown. You can pull it out and eat it.
Turning around and entering the kitchen, Su Qingluan was chopping onions and coriander while chatting with Mr. Yang who was lighting the fire.
"Auntie, it's autumn now. Should our family prepare some winter vegetables for the winter?"
Yang raised his head and smiled: "It's not yet time."
Su Qingluan was curious: "Isn't it time yet? I have to go to the fields during the day to take a look. Many farmers have finished harvesting. Even if they are not finished, they are nearing the end. Those vegetable farmers should be picking up autumn vegetables soon. Are they sold in the town or simply on the ground?"
Yang looked at Su Qingluan in surprise, and then she was relieved: "If you haven't experienced it before, it's normal not to know." After saying that, her smile faded, and she let out a long sigh, with endless sadness. .
Su Qingluan was surprised and asked: "What on earth is going on?" That made the always cheerful mother so worried?
