Chapter 57: Gluten

Luo Jianjia is going to make gluten soup.

This soup is very delicious, but it is more troublesome to make.

Her memory of this soup is still in her childhood. When I grew up, I almost never drank it, and I didn't even think of doing it myself.

Now there is a chance to do it.

The reason why it is troublesome is because there are many steps to make this soup, and you need to knead the noodles and wash the noodles.

The washed face water is retained, and the remaining gluten after washing the face is also left.

Because I want to make Liangpi at home, these things happen to be available now, which saves a lot of trouble.

It's similar to other egg soups. Put oil in the pot, put the chopped green onion when the oil is hot, and add chopped tomatoes. You can also put some other dishes.

Of course, you can also stir-fry chopped peanuts and tofu skins.

There are no peanuts in the house. She made peanuts with strange flavours and took them away to Chu Weileng last time.

There is no tofu skin, so I made a simple one.

After sautéing the tomatoes into juice, add water to boil the bottom water. The noodles I used this time were not ordinary noodles, but the kind of noodles used for making Liangpi.

The soup boiled from this kind of noodles is not the same as the soup boiled with ordinary flour, and has a unique taste.

Then cut the gluten into small pieces and put them into the pot.

Wait until the water boils and the gluten is cooked.

Food can often heal people's hearts.

After taking a sip of the soup, Zhao, who was still missing his son just now, focused all of his attention on the soup.

Luo Jianjia listened to the compliments of Zhao and Boss Chu, and took a sip carefully.

Sure enough, it still tastes like when I was young.

She doesn't eat much on weekdays, and drank two bowls of soup today.

After dinner, Aunt Wang came to help.

Although Aunt Wang left yesterday very wisely, she was unavoidable of her curious nature.

After arriving, he asked Zhao curiously: "Sister-in-law, what happened yesterday? Is that guy Leng's friend?"

In fact, not only Aunt Wang was curious, but many people in the village had seen Mo Feng, especially the horse that Mo Feng was riding, they were all very curious.

Zhao smiled and said, "No, that's the guard of Brother Leng's friend."

After hearing this, Aunt Wang immediately widened his eyes in surprise, and said, "Is it a guard? It is said that the sons of the big family are trusted by people, but they are more styled than the sons of the outsiders in the town."

Zhao said: "That's not wrong. They are from Beijing, and they are better than those worn by rich people here."

Aunt Wang tweeted: "Brother Leng is really great, and the ancestors of Guangzong Yaozu, and the people you know are not the same as before."

"It's okay," Zhao said.

After speaking, Aunt Wang asked again: "Then what is he doing?"

Zhao explained to her: "Before Leng Ge'er left, Jiajia made a lot of delicious food for him. After his friend tasted it, he asked the guard to come over and take some."

She did not say that the other party bought it, nor did she say how much it was spent, which was negotiated by them before.

If others know that their family has made so much money, it will arouse a lot of people's jealousy, and it will be no good if the bold and greedy thief comes to steal things.

Aunt Wang glanced at Luo Jianjia, and praised: "My nephew and daughter-in-law are amazing, and everyone who eats food in Beijing says it is delicious."

Aunt Wang's doubts were all answered, and the two of them said a few more words and then changed the subject.

Facts proved that Luo Jianjia's idea was correct. She changed half of the cakes to sweet ones, and this half sold the fastest.

When it was sold out, many people came over and asked. As soon as there were no sweets, many people didn't buy anything, and some bought some spiced ones by the way.

Luo Jianjia thought, tomorrow we can increase the number of scones again.

After dinner, the three gathered together and counted the money.

Yesterday I was busy making dried pork, so I didn’t have time to count. Today I took out yesterday’s money and counted it together.

After counting, I found that I had earned more than 300 liters in these two days, which made everyone very happy.

However, Luo Jianjia also reminded in time: "Although you have made a lot of money, it may not last long. Now there are no scones on the market, so we can try something new. There must be a lot of people imitating later, and we may not be able to make money by then. That's so much."

Zhao smiled and said, "That's okay. We can also make more tea eggs. They are popular and no one can imitate them."

Boss Chu also said, "Isn't it? Someone at Jin'er dock imitates tea eggs, but the taste is not as good as ours. There is no taste in the eggs, and not many people buy them."

Luo Jianjia is also more confident in tea eggs, and said: "This thing is simple to make, but the ingredients are difficult to grasp, and it is difficult to understand it for a while. The scones are not the same, that is simple. Now some people in town sell them with us. The appearance is the same, I guess I will learn it soon."

This is why she has been constantly improving the shape and taste in the past few days.

In fact, the scones given to Chu Wei Leng at first were the simplest scones, tasteless. No seasoning, no oil, and the outer layer is not crispy. These were all changed later. From tasteless to spiced, from spiced to sweet and spicy.

"After all, we sold it first, and we can still make money if someone else sells it." Zhao said confidently.

This is true, even if the sales are not as good as the current sales, they can be sold as much as possible.

Luo Jianjia nodded, agreeing with Zhao's words very much.

“Let’s do more tomorrow, and we will learn all the time while everyone hasn’t learned it. Let’s reduce sales if the sales volume drops.” Luo Jianjia said.

"Okay." Both Zhao's and Chu's boss agreed.

After talking about the business matters in the past two days, I have arrived at the most important thing in the family recently.

Luo Jianjia took out the one hundred taels of silver notes that Mo Feng gave her yesterday.

Yesterday, because of the tight schedule, she hurried to the county town to buy meat after receiving the money.

When she remembered this during the day today, Aunt Wang had already come to the house, so it was not very convenient to talk about it.

In the end, it is now.

"Father, mother, this is a hundred taels of silver tickets."

Zhao glanced at the bank note, and wanted to reach out and touch it. When he was about to touch him, he retracted his hand again, and after repeatedly wiping the clothes a few times, he took the thin banknote with both hands.

She has lived for most of her life, and this is the first time she has seen what a bank note looks like.

Although she didn't know any of the words above, it didn't affect her attention to this banknote.

"It's so beautiful." Zhao sighed, "Hey boy, take a look."

With that, both hands were handed to Boss Chu.

Boss Chu has always been more stable than Zhao, but today he also learned the way Zhao was just now. He wiped his hands on his clothes before daring to touch it, and also took it with his hands.

Boss Chu held the silver bill and looked at it for a while, then handed it to Luo Jianjia.

"Brother Leng's daughter-in-law, you should still hold the silver ticket." Chu Lao Dadao, "you came up with this pork breast, and you should get this hundred taels of silver."

Luo Jianjia was stunned for a moment.

According to what I said before, half of the money earned at home is placed with Boss Chu and half with her.

She thought that Mr. Chu would keep so much money in her own place.

Of course, she believed in the behavior of Boss Chu and Zhao, as well as Chu Wei Leng.

If one day she and Chu Wei left in a cold, Boss Chu would definitely give her half of the money, not all.

So she is also going to give the money to Boss Chu tonight.

Unexpectedly, Boss Chu not only let her keep it, but also said that he would give it all to her.

"I'm afraid this is wrong," Luo Jianjia said.

Hearing what she said, Zhao said to the side: "There is nothing wrong with cymbal, you can take it. Don't say it's dried pork, we also have cold skin, tea eggs and other foods that you have come up with. If not, You, our family still doesn't know what it will look like now, don't push it, just hold it."

Boss Chu nodded and said, "Your mother is right. Without you, this family can't get up. You have read books and have knowledge, and you will have to trouble you at home in the future. Brother Leng is now an official, and you have you. Such a lady is his blessing, and Brother Leng will have to take care of you more in the future."

Luo Jianjia knew that Boss Chu and Zhao had given it to her sincerely.

These two people were very honest, even if she refused, they would not want it.

So she didn't pretend, and took it.

However, this big deal was taken by Chu Wei Leng, and she would not have made so much money without Chu Wei Leng. Therefore, although she took it now, she had thought about it, if she left with Chu Wei Leng in the future. , She will still leave half of the money to the Chu family.

The Chu family treats her well, and she will not do unrighteous things.

"Then my daughter-in-law will take it first. If the family wants to spend money later, my parents will tell me." Luo Jianjia said.

"good."

I slept late last night and got up earlier today. Luo Jianjia was already sleepy. After talking about the matter, she went to reconcile the face and went to rest.

Because she went to bed early at night, Luo Jianjia woke up early the next day. After waking up, she felt a little bit colder in the bed.

She is most afraid of the cold. No matter how hot the summer is, she can endure it, but she can't stand the cold.

The air in the south is humid and clammy, especially indoors, which makes people very uncomfortable.

When I wake up in the morning, I feel like I am sleeping in a humid environment and I can't warm it up.

Taking a look at the weather outside, Luo Jianjia thought, it seems that the quilt has to be dried again today.

After waking up, she couldn't sleep anymore. After lying down for a while, she took the box with the money.

She counted the money. Excluding the one hundred taels, she still had six taels of silver, and the eight taels that Chu Wei Leng gave her, a total of one hundred and fourteen taels.

However, not all of the money belongs to her.

She originally saved nearly eight taels of silver, but that day went to town to buy meat and seasonings and spent almost two taels, so it was only six taels.

She intends to give Zhao's fifty taels of the one hundred taels, so she has fifty-six taels in total.

Looking at the silver in front of him, Luo Jianjia breathed a sigh of relief.

The fifty taels of silver really came too timely, and almost solved all her problems. Establishing female households, renting shops in the county, and opening shops are no longer a problem.

She doesn't need to worry about how to make money anymore, she can relax a little bit.

Thinking about it this way, Luo Jianjia felt that the humid air was not so annoying, and went to wash in a happy mood.

In the next few days, Luo Jianjia made nearly two hundred cakes. Although they had been sold for a long time, they still barely sold out. The highest income reached 350 liters. The whole family was happy.

On the other side, Mo Feng rode a fast horse back to the border.

After arriving at the border, he didn't dare, and directly sent the things the master wanted to the barracks.

Wang Qingjue swallowed while looking at the big bag of dried pork in front of him.

"There is a bag of dried pork and pickles from Mrs. Chu to Master Chu, and a letter to Master Chu." Mo Feng opened the bag and explained.

Wang Qingjue opened the bag and looked at the contents. The dried pork was wrapped in greased paper, and there were about ten bags.

Wang Qingjue has always been a generous master. He handed one of the packets to Mo Feng and said, "You guys can share it with each other."

There were a lot of people who accompanied him this time, but not all of them entered the barracks, and many of them were outside.

"Thank you, Master." Mo Feng said, adding, "Ms. Chu's food is really delicious, and it feels very comfortable to eat. It feels unspeakable."

Wang Qingjue looked up at his subordinates and asked, "What did you eat?"

"In response to the master, Mrs. Chu stuffed some cakes and tea eggs for her subordinates when she came." Mo Feng replied respectfully.

Wang Qingjue heard the unfamiliar food name "tea egg" and asked, "Are there any more?"

Mo Feng paused, knelt on the ground, and said: "...No, those things are not durable to store, and the subordinates have eaten them all on the way."

Wang Qingjue glanced at him, lowered his head again, unwrapped a greased paper bag, took out a piece of dried pork and ate it.

"Get up. Good job, go back." Wang Qingjue said.

After speaking, he walked towards the barracks.

When he finished training in the afternoon and rested, Wang Qingjue handed a baggage to Chu Weileng.

"Brother Wang, what does this mean?" Chu Wei was puzzled.

Wang Qingjue chewed the dried pork in his mouth and said, "Open it and take a look. Your mother-in-law brought you the Hexin."

When he heard that Roche's food was made, Chu Wei Leng's eyes lit up and he quickly opened his baggage.

However, the most conspicuous one is the letter above.

Chu Weileng put the baggage on the table aside, took the letter out of the envelope, and sat aside and read it.

The things Wang Qingjue wanted to deliver had already been delivered, and he had no intention of looking at people's privacy, so he turned around and was about to go out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the curtain was opened, he was stopped.

"Brother Wang!"

Wang Qingjue stopped, looked back and saw that Chu Weilian was holding the letter. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother Chu, are you inviting me to watch it? This is not very good, after all, it was written by Brother Chu. , In case I wrote any love words, I would not read it well."

Wang Qingjue said something jokingly.

Chu Weilian didn't want to be seen either, but...he really didn't know some words.

"Ah, I don't know this word." Chu Wei replied honestly, "I wonder if Brother Wang can read it for me?"
