Chapter 52 Delivery

She took the bamboo basket from the bullock cart, grabbed a handful of dried fish and walked into the kitchen.

Yuan Hao thought that his sister was going to cook the stewed dried fish a few days ago again, thinking of the deliciousness, he couldn't help swallowing immediately.

I picked two large eggplants from the vegetable basket in the kitchen, cut the eggplants into finger-length strips, deep-fried the eggplants until soft and set aside, removed the heads and tails of the small fish, cut them into small pieces, and chopped the meat and garlic slices.

Xu Changqing is really curious, what kind of high-end food can be made with such simple and common ingredients?

Put oil in a hot pan, fry garlic slices until fragrant, then add minced meat and stir-fry, and finally put in diced fish and stir-fry until fragrant.

At this time, the salty and fresh aroma of the diced fish has been completely fried, and the whole kitchen is filled with a very attractive aroma. At this time, add the fried eggplant, stir fry evenly, and then add the prepared sauce , Cover the pot and simmer.

During the simmering process, Yuan Qiu rummaged in the kitchen for a long time, and finally found a porcelain pot with powder painted on the white background. It was very small and cute, and it was very new, obviously not used much.

Put the salted fish and eggplant with attractive aroma into the porcelain pot and continue to heat it on the fire. The soup in the porcelain pot is bubbling before removing the fire.

"Porcelain pots can continue to release heat for a certain period of time, and the dishes in the pot can get a good heat preservation effect, especially in winter." Yuan Qiu put the eggplant pot that had been bubbling all the time on the small square table behind Xu Changqing Go up, and take a pair of chopsticks and plates for him to taste.

Smelling the smell, Xu Changqing swallowed his saliva countless times. Seeing that he could finally taste it, he immediately took the chopsticks and placed them in the dish regardless of his appearance.

The eggplant is fresh and glutinous, with a lingering fragrance in the mouth. It is fresh but not salty, but it can arouse people's appetite, especially the fish granules mixed in the eggplant. It has a wonderful taste. It is obviously a cheap dish, but it tastes a high-end dish. the taste of.

"How about it?"

Yuan Qiu didn't make a sound, but Uncle Zhang was anxious, he really wanted to know if Boss Xu would like his small dried fish.

Boss Xu ignored Uncle Zhang, took another chopsticks of salted fish and eggplant and threw it into his mouth. After swallowing slowly with his eyes closed, he finally gave a thumbs up: "This delicious food can't be enjoyed by me alone, Jufulou All of our guests should taste it."

When Boss Xu said this, it meant that he approved of this dish and Uncle Zhang’s dried fish. Xia Yuanqiu said with a smile: "In this case, I will give this dish an elegant name, um—— Call it Purple Moon Swimming Fish."

Boss Xu clapped his hands as soon as he heard it, praising that the name is extremely elegant and will surely win the love of all the guests.

After deciding on a name, it was time to set the price for the dried fish. Boss Xu asked the steward in charge of purchasing dried fish in the back kitchen about the price of dried fish in the market, which was about ten cents a catty.

Boss Xu offered Uncle Zhang twenty Wen a catty for long-term delivery.

Uncle Zhang was very happy, but he was stupid, he couldn't say a word other than thanking him, he was a sincere mountain man, and besides farming, the only way to get money was fishing. The land is only enough for the family to eat, and the money earned from fishing is used to supplement the family. They tailor clothes for their wives and children during festivals, and buy meat to eat.

In the past, his requirements were not high, and he only wanted to have enough food for his family. However, with Xiaopang's birth and growth, he also had higher pursuits. He hoped that Xiaopang could learn to read and write in school like Liu Wenxuan. If you go home as a scholar, others will look up to Xiaopang, and you don't have to worry about not being able to find a good wife when you marry in the future.
