Chapter 114 Buying Frozen Goods
After Cheng Juren led his classmates, Mo Changhe welcomed them into a small single room. This small single room was later added in the backyard. A total of six such huts were added. Each of them had a large table and a kang was built, surrounded by fire cabinets next to the wall.
The fire cabinet and the kang are connected to the stove. When the fire is lit, the fire cabinet is hot. There are a lot of cushions made by Liu on it, and it is quite warm to sit on it.
The boiled water was put on the table. The Mo family didn't buy tea. The tea is expensive and can't afford to buy the good ones. Others dislike it, so they just boiled water for free. In addition to boiling water, sugar garlic, pickled dried roe, mustard goose, shredded with sesame oil, and a plate of red chili sauce. A plate of two-color preserved eggs, a plate of scrambled eggs with thorns sprouts, and they are still steaming.
Four people sat down, plus a total of five people in Cheng Xiao. Among them, a middle-aged uncle in his forties chased his beard and said, "It's quite warm. Unexpectedly, some of you have opened a food shop. It looks good. It's not in vain for us to come out on this cold day."
"What Brother Liu said is that look at this dish, it smells fragrant. It's rare to eat this green dish in the cold winter." Another uncle in dark blue clothes also pointed to the plate of scrambled eggs with old buds.
"This is an old bud. It grows on our mountain. It can't help but be delicious and has the effect of calming the mind." Mo Changhe has also learned what he said to his daughter now. He asked Chen Langzhong that the thorn bud really has a calming effect, so now he introduces it to the guests, and his mouth is also very sharp.
"Is it? Let's eat more later. How many of us scholars can sleep peacefully at night? The other one also answered with a smile.
Qiu Dajun came over with a tray and put the dishes on it. As he put it on, Mo Changhe introduced it. This is fried pork in scoop, which tastes sweet and crispy.
This is a steamed blood sausage, which is extremely smooth and tender. It is drizzled with the prepared juice. It is fresh, smooth and tender, and the taste is excellent. The sauerkraut noodles are smooth and the sauerkraut is very appetizing. Pine kernel corn can be eaten with a spoon, which is sweet and fragrant.
Everyone nodded. These dishes are green and yellow, meat and vegetables, and they look very good.
Cheng Juren looked at everyone's expressions and knew that they were satisfied. He also nodded to the long river with a smile.
"There is also a chicken stewed with mushrooms and vermicelli. It will be ready in a while. The staple food is steamed beef steamed buns. Come up later. Please eat slowly. I'll leave first. After saying that, Mo Changhe turned around and went out. He has now been trained by the prince in the town to deal with it freely.
"Come on, use your chopsticks to taste it. Although this shop is famous in our small place, even the princes in the town have come all the way to eat in carriages. Cheng Juren persuaded everyone to raise chopsticks.
"Is it? It's so famous, so we all have to taste it. His classmates were also very face-given and picked up vegetables to eat.
Everyone was happy to eat a meal, and everyone sweated after eating on this cold day.
"Adult brother, I really envy you. There is such a good food shop in this village. You are blessed." An uncle took out a veil to wipe the sweat on his forehead and talked and laughed with Cheng Juren.
"There, we will come back tomorrow. This family eats a lot of food, and we will eat new food tomorrow." Cheng Juren saw that everyone was satisfied with his food, and his face also had a brilliance, which means that the day would come.
"Okay, we have to stay for a few days anyway. Let's just come and eat every day and eat their fresh food before going back, haha." An uncle slaid his beard and made a joke.
On the second day, Cheng Xiao's early news came again. Everyone was preparing vegetables. Qiu Dajun came in to report that there were three carriages outside, and a total of seven princes from the town came to eat. The anxious Wang and Qiu were busy turning chickens and geese to prepare food for them.
Molan didn't panic. She put the stir-fried pecans and pine nuts on a plate. The pecan was soaked for the night last night. It was fried in a big pan early this morning. After stir-frying, they all opened the openings one by one. After a little break it, stir-fry the pine nuts with cold water Open it as soon as you pinch it. Although it smells better without water, it is too rare to peel.
Molan served the pecan and pine nuts to the table and let them peel and eat first, so that they had something to do, and they would not be in a hurry when the dishes came up.
"Lanlan, is this a walnut? Why doesn't it look like it? How to eat it?"
As soon as Molan was about to quit, someone asked.
Molan smiled at him. His surname was Fang. He was one of the first people to follow Xue Lingyun. Later, he often brought people here, and he was also kind. Every time after dinner, or he or others gave him two taels of silver, so Mo Lan had a good impression of him.
"Ms. Fang, this is a pecan, which nourishes the brain. Eating it can make people smarter. You see, this pecan is open, and it opens with your hand. The bamboo stick on this plate is specially for picking the walnut meat inside, and this is a pine nut, which is also cracked. You can open it with your hand. It's the pine nuts in the pine kernel corn you ate last time. Molan explained clearly to everyone.
"You have to do it yourself, it's troublesome!" A prince didn't sell the bill. He curled his lips and didn't like these things.
"This gentleman, we can peel it and send it up, but we can't do it ourselves if we eat it like that. If you don't believe it, you can try it?" Molan was not afraid of anyone picking faults, and still responded with a smile.
"I said Liu Cai, why are you competing? Isn't it just a bet that you lost 200 taels of silver? Just win it next time. Come and have a try. The food in this restaurant is really good. Mr. Fang asked Molan to go down and didn't pay attention to him. This man lost money and felt uncomfortable.
The prince named Liu Cai curled his lips and did not continue to raise the bar. There are many people here, so as not to let people say that he can't afford to lose. He picked up a pecan, broke it, picked out the walnut meat in it with a bamboo stick, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and said, "It's okay. It's a little fragrant." After that, continue to pick walnut meat to eat.
As soon as everyone saw that the loser ate delicious food, they began to eat.
At the time of serving, Qiu Dajun specially took a basin of warm water to clean their hands, washed their hands with clean warm water, and even Liu nodded with satisfaction after wiping it with a white towel.
At the checkout time, Mr. Fang also specially gave an extra 50 cents of pecans and pine nuts. Qiu Dajun was very happy. These pecans and pine nuts had no capital, so he got 50 cents. How could he not be happy?
From then on, Molan gave them pine nuts, pecans or roasted melon seeds after drying. I couldn't help but be satisfied, and they could make more money.
In a blink of an eye, it entered the twelfth lunar month. It was getting colder and colder. Those who originally came to the table the next day also became that they would come to a table every five or six days. The Mo family was not in a hurry. It turned out that they did not plan to do business in cold weather. As
"Lan'er, I'm going to the town with Uncle Liu today. Will you go?" Mo Changhe shouted at Mo Lan. He wants to go to the town to buy some frozen persimmons, frozen pears, reds and so on. Then he can also buy something else to buy. Anyway, his money is not tight now, and he can't buy anything compared with previous years.
"Go, Dad, wait for me to wear more clothes." Mo Lan answered and wrapped herself tightly. Give it to your father with two beds in his arms and let him hold it to the ox cart.
Sitting on the ox cart, Molan and Mo Changhe covered the two beds tightly. The wind in this cold weather was like a wind knife, and it hurt to blow on people's faces. Therefore, in addition to her eyes, Molan also covered her face tightly. The old Liu was also wrapped in a thick coat, wearing a big hat, and his face
The ground has been covered with snow, and there is also snow on the road, but there are imprints, so you can walk, but it's not as easy as usual.
The three of them didn't dare to speak. As soon as they opened their mouths, the wind poured in, and they couldn't surround them.
After getting to the town, Molan felt that she was going to freeze. She couldn't wear the old clothes and wrap the quilt. She jumped down quickly and jumped hard, hoping that the exercise could bring her some heat.
A few people went to buy frozen persimmons and so on. When they came to the place, they saw that, good guy, the rows were full of frozen goods, golden frozen persimmons, one by one was big. Huagai pear skin was black and brown, and a basket of baskets were placed there, as well as frozen white pears Cute.
There are many people bargaining, and there are also many people shouting, with white breath in their mouths, and some keep stoping their feet and rubbing their hands to keep warm.
Molan followed Mo Changhe for a few houses, and finally fell in love with one. The price was reasonable and the goods were not bad. Their frozen persimmons cost 100 catties like Huahong, and frozen pears cost 200 catties. There were not so many stalls in that stalls. They took them to find another one, so they made up enough and helped them load it into the car together.
The adults were loading the car, and Molan kept stamping her feet, and she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Uncle, I also want two catties. You weighed too much for me. I didn't bring that much money. Take it down."
"Your baby, it's only more than three catties. It's not too much. I have to bother to weigh you again. You can buy them all of them. Look, the one over there is only a few hundred catties. How can they buy this much like you?" The boss of the stall seemed a little impatient. He had so many things to do. Why didn't he meet a big customer at home? After buying it all at once, he could go home to keep warm.
"Chen Xuan. It's really you. Come on, come with me." Molan saw that the person who quarreled with the boss of the stall was Chen Xuan, who helped his own enema. He hurried over and pulled down the corner of his clothes.
"Lanlan, why are you here? Is it just you? Let's go to our house. My mother misses you so much. He also asked me to send some frozen goods to your family. Chen Xuan was also very happy to see Molan. He hasn't seen this girl for a month.
