National teacher, your man ran away

"Brother Ayong, did the young master really say that the things we catch to feed ducks and chickens can also be sold for money?"

"Ayong, to be honest, it can't be the young master. He sees that we are living a tight life, and deliberately exchanged money for these worthless wild animals, right?"

"Ah Yong, the young master took us in, gave us enough food, and lived in a new house. Now, the things that the young master sells on the Zhuangzi, no matter whether we caught them during the break, we can't charge money. We are farmers. The most important thing is to be a down-to-earth person and not be ungrateful, you know?"

Huang Yong thought this trip was a good errand, and it was clear that the young master was giving money to everyone. Unexpectedly, he went to the Zhuangzi and said that others were fine, but the people in Huangjia Village couldn't sit still, and urged He must not take advantage of the master's family.For people like them who fled from the famine, if they can have a place to stay and eat with their own hands, it is already a blessing from God. How can they take revenge and sell the products of the Yao family village to the young master?

This, isn't this taking things from the master's house and selling them to the master?

Huang Yong was helpless. Luckily, Yao Yixin and Bai Shisan were still on the Zhuangzi. He hurriedly chased after him, explained everyone's thoughts on the Zhuangzi, and felt a little ashamed. He woke up after being scolded, and the more he thought about it, the more ashamed he felt. He felt that the shrewdness that he was always proud of, compared with the way of life of the older generation, was still lacking in kindness and loyalty.

After listening to Huang Yong's explanation, Yao Yixin was also speechless. I have to say that the common people in this time and space are light-years ahead of the later generations in terms of moral models. No wonder it is said that morality is greater than the law. If the common people If you have such a temperament, the cost of the crime is really high, because not only will you be sanctioned by the law, the most terrifying thing is that you will be condemned by righteous people, and you may even be classified as "inhuman" category, even people can't do it...

"Then, why not do this!" Yao Yixin thought for a while, and said solemnly, "I don't say anything about buying with money. In this way, you go and pick some hard-working people. It's best for every family to have one. I'll let you buy it later." Someone came over to teach them how to cook these things, and when they are ready, send them directly to the food shop, where someone will weigh them by the catty and count them as money, so don’t say no, don’t even share it, just take the money and go Buy a few pigs from the village and kill them for meat, it’s not a waste of work.”

Yao Yixin said so, and Huang Yong couldn't refute anything, he could only be silently grateful in his heart, thinking in his heart that he must take care of this matter for the young master, since they came here to settle down, even though they were taking care of the young master Zhuangzi, but this Zhuangzi has never produced much. Everyone digs mud to build dams every day. It always feels like playing with mud and eating for nothing. Now I can finally do something for the young master, or the young master personally ordered, Huang Yong I feel that the time has finally come for me to show my talents!

however--

A few days later, Huang Yong realized that he really thought this "task" was too complicated!

What Yao Yixin wants to make is actually the salty loach, salty eel, and various salty steamed vegetables that the farmhouse pickled in summer and then exposed to the sun.

Cut the loach and rice field eel, remove the internal organs, wash it, cut the rice field eel into sections, the whole loach does not need to be cut, first wipe it with coarse salt, marinate it for two days, take it out of the house, expose it to the sun for two days, and then smoke it , when eating, wash it clean, add some bean paste, chili slices, scallion and ginger, etc., steam it and eat it directly, it is spicy and chewy and can be served with rice. The most important thing is that it can be stored properly. If it is stored properly, it will not be eaten in winter. question.

Snails and mussels are a little more troublesome. You need to boil the snails and mussels in a large boiling pot until the shells are opened, then take out the meat inside, wash them clean, and marinate them. However, after marinating, you don’t need to It is smoked, soaked in boiling water when eating, steamed or fried directly, the taste is more chewy than fresh ones, a bit like dried clams and sea rice that people on the beach often eat.

The most important thing is that the reason why Yao Yixin wanted to find someone to make marinated and dried snail meat was because Master Guoshi seemed to like this one, and he especially liked chewy snail meat. Yao Yixin decided to collect more snail meat this year , When the time comes to make snail meat chili sauce, as a New Year gift to Master Guoshi, it is right to treat it as a protection fee for Master Guoshi. Who asked them to send so many hidden guards to protect themselves?

Yao Yixin is very self-aware. He doesn't think that Master Guoshi has a secret love for him or there is some other conspiracy. First, if it is a secret love for him, the two of them have been married for more than a year, so it should be done anyway, and it is not necessary to wait until The two of them reconcile and leave before starting to start, right?Secondly, he is just a farmer, at most he can be regarded as a small rich family. He is a national teacher with great power and a great family business. Why should he monitor a mere landowner like him?

After much deliberation, there is only one reason that is the most tenable, and that is that the Master of the National Teacher is really kind. He thinks that the two families used to be family friends. ", and then sent a few people to protect him. He is not a person who does not know good and evil. If it is not because of Bai Shisan at home and a few hidden guards he does not know outside, his business is so popular, why not The reason is not to recruit thieves, right?

Now it seems that these people are probably blocking it for him, right?

Consciously receiving the favor of Master Guoshi, Yao Yixin felt that she should also treat her ex-husband better. At the very least, the New Year's gift should be delivered every year. Anyway, I used so many free bodyguards, except Bai Shisan , the others didn't pay a penny.

Because he bought all kinds of snails and loach in Yaojia Village before, these aquatic products in Yaojia Village have become less and less. He was still thinking about whether to go to the pier to find some fishermen to collect some. Now it’s all right. There are so many "worthless" aquatic products on his farm, and, in this way, not only can he get new ingredients, but he can also take the opportunity to let these penniless disaster victims earn some money for eating meat, maybe It can also speed up the speed of building dams, which really serves multiple purposes.

So, two months later, the Master Guo Shi who was far away in the imperial city received the snail meat chili sauce that he was thinking of, and it was still a familiar taste. The spicy and salty taste of the juice is very appetizing. With the snail meat chili sauce, the master of the state ate four big steamed buns in one go, and then ordered people to put away the half-eaten snail meat chili sauce.

If Yao Yixin were here, he would be surprised, because the chili sauce he ordered to be made weighed more than two catties each, and it was packed in a clean bamboo tube, and he would eat more than a catty of chili sauce for a meal. Keep the rhythm, right?I hope that Master Guoshi will not squat until his legs are weak...

It wasn't just Master Guoshi who was happy, Huang Yong and the people in Xinzhuangzi were also very happy.

Although none of the families got any money in the end, after listening to Yao Yixin's words, Huang Yong bought five big fat pigs with the money he got from selling dried aquatic products, and rushed them to the Zhuangzi. Falling into the water, almost every family got more than ten catties of meat. This is a wonderful thing that I never dared to think about in my hometown before Chinese New Year!

A few old people in Zhuangzi were happy, but they couldn't help but blame Huang Yong for being too extravagant. They wanted everyone to taste the taste of meat. Killing one head is enough. How can there be enough meat to share at one time?

This time Huang Yong has something to say to the elders——

"Grandpa, uncle, the young master said, in the future, as long as the aquatic products produced by the river beach on our village can be prepared in this way, they can be sent to the shop, and the money in exchange can be collected in the public. , buy some coarse salt and coarse grains to distribute to each family, or save some meat and vegetables for everyone to eat during the Chinese New Year.”

"Grandfathers and uncles, just look at how many loaches and eels are hidden under the silt on the river beach that stretches for several miles in our village? How many river mussels and snails are there? You can also send people to catch them on the riverbanks upstream and downstream, and when you catch them and prepare them, you can send them to the restaurant, add a dish to the young master's restaurant, and we can exchange money to buy meat, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

"Someone really paid for this food?" The elders still couldn't believe it. After all, they also helped during the cooking. I'm afraid that they don't know how much sesame oil and rice wine will be used to get rid of the fishy smell. Bar?Now, how much money does it cost to make a dish?

"Haha~ Grandpas and uncles don't know, but now in our Yao's food shop, this kind of dish called dry steaming is not something that can be bought with money, and you may not be able to buy it if you go early. , I heard that even the county magistrate likes this dish very much, and even deliberately went to the restaurant to try it in disguise!"

"Oh! That's really the case? That's really great!" Everyone looked at each other and smiled when they heard the words. The big stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground. They felt much more comfortable in their hearts when they could help their young master with something. .

"So, everyone, don't feel sorry for taking our young master's money. Although the young master said he wanted to subsidize our family, he didn't lose money. Don't worry, everyone!" Huang Yong clapped his hands happily. What about the four big fat pigs? If you save a little, you might be able to eat them until the end of the year.

In the next period of time, they will work harder, save more money, maybe they can buy a few more big fat pigs by the end of the year, everyone have a good New Year!

With the output of Xinzhuangzi, Yao Yixin has another special product on the New Year's gift list, especially the dry-steamed smoked loach eel, which is spicy and chewy, and is the most suitable for bringing It’s time to make the appetizers, and there is also the spicy sauce of the snail meat, which is spicy and strong. Whether it is eaten with noodles or eaten in steamed buns, it is very delicious.

Yao Yixin didn't even think that just because of this "delivered in advance" annual gift, she would attract the two elders of the Su family who hadn't seen each other for a long time.
