Luohuazhishui

36 Dressing up shop-bought spices

The decoration workers have been hired. The preliminary design is that the tables and chairs of the store on the first floor will remain unchanged, and two rows of wooden strips will be filled in as places for placing flower pots and decorations.The tables and chairs of the storefront on the second floor remain unchanged. Since there is no extra private room for cover, a hollow wooden frame can only be added between each seat as a barrier.

It is expected to be completed in NO.14, seven days. NO.15 Lantern Festival can open.Yesterday the laborers had been hired and started working, and today happened to be the eighth day of the lunar new year, the day when the Yongji City-State Market opened.Chen Zhishui planned to go to the market to see if he could find new ingredients and spices.

"Luo'er, I went to the market, you watch them work in the shop."

Cheng Luohua was practicing the words that Chen Zhishui had taught her on the counter.Looking up at Chen Zhishui who walked to the door: "Okay, you go. I'll watch here."

Chen Zhishui went out in peace, the market wasn't too far away.Horseback riding is just a cup of tea (less than 10 minutes)

When she went to the place, she found that it was many times busier than usual.All the street vendors have exotic faces, some have deep facial features, black pupils and black hair, some have white skin and blond hair.Most of the booths are decorated with distinctive utensils.

But her purpose today is not here, but to go straight to the spice district.Chen Zhishui came to a hawker stall that looked like a European.He has a lot of spices here.Various colors and flavors.

Chen Zhishui looked at each of them first.Sharp-eyed spotted cumin and a spice that looked like peppercorns.But the color is slightly lighter. If she read it correctly, then it should be peppercorns.This thing looks similar to Zanthoxylum bungeanum, but the only difference in taste between the two is that Zanthoxylum bungeanum is rich in fragrance but not numb, and pepper is heavy in numbness but not fragrant enough.

If you want to make spicy food, pepper is essential.Chen Zhishui asked how it was sold.The foreign peddler told her 60 Wen a catty in broken Chinese.

But she wants more than just this catty, she wants to cooperate for a long time.

Chen Zhishui tentatively said a word to the hawker in English.The peddler shook his head and nodded.

She asked if she could understand what she was saying.The peddler obviously didn't expect her to understand their language, so he recovered and nodded to indicate that he understood.

Chen Zhishui explained his intentions to the peddler in English, but stumbled, and Chen Zhishui couldn't remember many words because he hadn't used them for a long time.There are also some Mandarin in Nanning mixed in between.

The peddler was silent for a while after listening.What Chen Zhishui told him was that he wanted a long-term cooperation to supply some spices.The other party explained to Chen Zhishui that due to the relationship between the growing season and the route, they can only come once a year.It is not available every month.

Chen Zhishui nodded, it was because she was so happy that she lost her mind for a moment.That didn't take those into account.Once a year is fine, buy more and store them properly for a long time.She went on to ask the peddler how much of this spice he had in stock.

He said that he himself weighed more than ten catties, but his companions together weighed more than 200 catties.Two hundred catties is too much, Chen Zhishui only needs one hundred catties in total.The peddler agreed, and told Chen Zhishui to send her to the store to withdraw the collection tonight.

Cumin and pepper are the same, fifty catties, a total of six taels of silver.After Chen Zhishui paid a deposit of one tael of silver, she went to visit other stalls.

Going forward is the ingredients. When Chen Zhishui came here, he saw that there were tomatoes.Inquire about the price of 40 texts.Quite expensive, but in this period of shortage of ingredients, it is understandable that such fresh vegetables are more expensive.Chen Zhishui bought ten catties and sent them to the store at night, she wanted to go back and make the sauce.Tomatoes can't be kept, and she can only keep them as long as possible.

The tomatoes are very ripe, and I can pick them up to get the seeds when I go back.With the seeds, she can throw them in the space and plant them, or she can take them to the village and ask others to plant them, and then buy them when they are mature.

After shopping for a long time, I found another sesame.After paying the deposit, I went home.Chen Zhishui went back to study the menu and divided it into five categories of recipes, five categories of tastes and ten categories of ingredients.And the most eye-catching signature dishes are placed on the first page of the book.

The five major methods are steaming, frying, stewing, frying and mixing

The five major flavors are sweet, sour, salty, spicy, sweet and sour

At this time, the menu can't be drawn, it can only be written by hand, which is relatively simple.Although Chen Zhishui could read characters, she still didn't know how to write traditional Chinese characters for a while. Although she had learned calligraphy in her previous life, she was already unfamiliar with it. In order to pursue the quality of the menu, she wrote these few pages for nearly an afternoon. Only stopped when it was time to make dinner.

After dinner, it happened that the market was withdrawn there, and the vendors carried bags of spices to the store.Cheng Luohua was a little curious when he saw that he had transported so many things, so he asked Chen Zhishui, "Zhishui, why did you go out and buy so many things today? What are they?"

Chen Zhishui put the pepper bag away. "These are the seasonings I found at the market, and I will use them in the future. They can be stored, and you don't have to worry about them going bad."

Well, she is very reassuring in her work.

Cheng Luohua nodded "Yes" and continued to practice calligraphy with her head bowed. In the past two days, she has learned a lot of calligraphy. She is afraid of forgetting, so she often writes and writes. By the way, she can also practice calligraphy.

It was fourteen in a blink of an eye, and Chen Zhishui went to hire a troupe to set up a stage and buy some vegetables for tomorrow.Cheng Luohua practiced handwriting at home and supervised the work, and the renovation project was almost completed in the afternoon.

The two of them and a few guys swept up the sawdust residue on the ground. At this time, the theater troupe also came over, and the stage was built until it was getting dark.

The guys went back, Chen Zhishui and Cheng Luohua were busy in the back kitchen preparing the ingredients for tomorrow, and they didn't go to bed until midnight.

Their real new life will begin tomorrow.
