Summarizing the lessons from the first two failures, Song had mastered the key and succeeded in the third pot. Before the pot came out, the spicy aroma had already spread out. Xiao Ming smelled the spicy aroma and took a deep breath. She is very intoxicated, this is the taste, Spicy Xiaolong Jing, her favorite.
When it came out of the pot, Xiao Ming couldn't wait to taste one. The crayfish shell became crispy and delicious after being stir-fried. When she took a bite, the numb and spicy taste instantly rushed into her mouth, making Xiao Ming Ming closed her eyes with satisfaction, which reminded her of the days when she was chasing crayfish in her previous life. After work, she would always order a few portions from famous snack bars and enjoy them at home.
Then she would send her experience to her food friends and exchange experiences with each other. No matter where the food is, as long as it is delicious, she will buy it and try it.
"Be careful, you kid." Seeing Xiao Ming's eagerness, Mrs. Song said angrily. The crayfish that had just been taken out of the pot was very hot, and she was worried that Xiao Ming would be burned.
"How does it taste?" Ms. Song asked carefully about the result. It was her first time to fry crayfish and she was a little nervous.
"It tastes great, Mrs. Song, you are so awesome." Xiao Ming praised, as excited as a child.
"Really? That's good. It's a pity that I can't eat spicy food, otherwise I would have tasted it." Ms. Song became happy, but a little regretful.
"Let's fry another pot of garlic flavor. It's not spicy at all, so you can eat it." Xiao Ming said. There is still a lot of crayfish left. You can fry it in two more pots.
"Okay, let's stir-fry again."
With the successful experience of spicy flavor, Mr. Song was very good at stir-frying the garlic flavor. Finally, Mr. Song and Xiao Ming worked together to fry all the remaining crayfish. They fried the spicy version in two pots and put it in a small pot. There are two pots, and only one pot has the garlic flavor, which is full of color and aroma. I fry a few delicious side dishes and dinner is ready.
"Auntie, what are you and Grandma Song doing? It smells so good." Xiao Yu ran into the hall and looked at the dishes on the table with curiosity. He smelled the fragrant smell in the yard and salivated. It’s almost flowing out.
"This is crayfish. I caught it a few days ago." Xiao Ming introduced it to her nephew.
Everyone enjoyed today's dinner, and the crayfish was well received. Except for Xiao Yu and Song who can't tolerate spicy food, the other three enjoyed the spicy crayfish, especially Xiao Han who ate it for the first time. The two of them, Xia Xiaoba, were obviously too spicy, but they didn't want to stop. They drank tea and continued eating.
After dinner, all the crayfish were eaten. Both of their faces turned red. They kept fanning their red lips with their hands. After eating the spicy food, they ate minced garlic. Taste, and got into a fight with Xiao Yu, and the three of them almost fought over the last crayfish.
Finally, the last crayfish entered Xia Xiaoba's stomach, and Xia Xiaoba grabbed it with a proud look on his face. He raised his eyebrows and demonstratively glanced at Xiao Han and Xiao Yu, as if to avenge the plot they had just plotted. .
Xiao Yuren didn't rush, and watched Xia Xiaoba happily enjoying the last crayfish, puckering his lips in displeasure.
Xiao Ming and Song were very happy to see him, and he promised to cook crayfish tomorrow to appease him.
At night, the three of them sat together as usual and talked about the day's events, but there was an extra Xia Xiaoba. Listening to Xiao Yu's endorsement, Xiao Ming checked Xiao Yu's calligraphy again. After Mr. Wu's instruction, Xiao Yu's calligraphy has made great progress, and his character has begun to show. In time, he will have the demeanor of a famous teacher.
Xiao Han talked about learning martial arts with Xia Xiaoba every day and got Xiao Ming's support.
"Practicing martial arts is very good. It can strengthen the body, but it is too hard. Can you persist?" Xiao Ming asked. Practicing martial arts cannot be achieved overnight. It takes years and months of diligent practice to achieve results. The sadness in it is not that of an outsider. One can imagine.
Xiao Ming was a little worried that they wouldn't be able to persist, especially Xiao Yu. He was only six years old and had to get up at five o'clock every morning. The test for him was really too great.
"Yes, we will definitely stick to it." Xiao Han said, and the little bun Xiao Yu also nodded.
"In this case, they will ask Brother Xia." Xiao Ming bowed to Xia Xiaobafu.
"It's okay. If they are willing to endure hardship, I will teach them." Xia Xiaoba touched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. He said to the lying Maomao: "Come on, Maomao, let's go for a walk outside." He led Maomao out of the house.
It was said to be a walk, but in fact it was to check the fields. Every night, Xiao Han and Maomao would go to the hundreds of acres of orchards to check, and finally close the doors and windows to rest.
Now that Xia Xiaoba came, he took the initiative to take over this job. He couldn't ask for it. For him, this was the only chance to get close to Maomao.
"Little brother, have you sent a message to Brother Kong today?" Xiao Ming asked.
"I didn't see anyone. I didn't see anyone when I went to the Min Mansion. I heard that he had returned to the capital again, so I had to leave a message with Dr. Min and asked him to help bring a message." Xiao Han said truthfully. He thought that Kong Lin was not in Ping'an Town. It was in Pingcheng. After all, his branch in Pingcheng was still under renovation, and he didn't expect to go back to the capital.
"It takes several days to go to the capital and back. We won't wait for him. We will make all the peaches and grapes into peach wine and wine. If he wants the apples and pears, leave them to him." The peaches and grapes have been I took it off. It's getting hotter now and I can't keep it for a few days.
"Let Brother Xia take you to town tomorrow and order fifty wine jars. I will prepare the materials and start brewing tomorrow." Although she made an appointment with Kong Lin to only supply vegetables to his family, she also abided by the agreement. However, there were no restrictions on fruits and chrysanthemum tea. She still gave priority to Kong Lin. Now that he was not in Ping'an Town, she brewed all the fruits into wine and kept it. The price of a jar of wine by then would be incomparable to the fruit.
"Okay, but you have to borrow Uncle Liu's ox cart. Brother Xia bought the carriage today. The carriage is custom-made and will not be used until half a month." Xiao Han said that there is no horse market in the town, so it's still Xia Xiao Eight specially went to Pingcheng to buy a horse. It cost twenty-five taels of silver, a carriage of ten taels, and a carriage of thirty-five taels of silver. The carriage was so expensive that it would take an ordinary person several years to survive without eating or drinking. Buy one, few families in Ping'an Town have carriages.
"Well, I know, I have to ask Uncle Liu for help and calculate more wages." Xiao Ming has always been generous when it comes to wages and doesn't care about it. "There are a lot of fruits at home. Tomorrow you go to the town and deliver some fruits to Mr. Wu and the three doctors at Guangji Hall, as well as the clerks in the medicine hall." Xiao Ming ordered as she sat in the Guangji Hall for consultation. , the people in the medicine hall take good care of her.
"Okay, I understand." Xiao Han nodded.
After making arrangements for tomorrow, Xiao Ming and others turned off the lights and washed up and went to sleep.
