hunter's daughter-in-law

It was the agreed delivery time again, because Yuan Hong was going to go to the town, so he didn't let the people from "Xiao Zhai" come to pick it up, and planned to deliver it by himself.

"Come on, be careful."

Yuan Hong took Zhang Jin by the hand and helped him into the bullock cart.

Fearing that Zhang Jin would be stunned, Yuan Hong tidied up the bullock cart carefully. He not only widened and strengthened it, but also put several layers of mattresses on it, and spread a layer of high-quality leather on top to smooth out the sharp corners of each place. Sanded and smoothed them all, and wrapped them all up.So, no matter how bumpy the road is now, Zhang Jin doesn't have to worry about bumping into it.

The two went to the town together today mainly because Yuan Hong wanted to take Zhang Jin to see the doctor again. At this time, it had been a month since the last time he went to the medical clinic. Although Zhang Jin no longer had morning sickness and his appetite improved a lot, But Yuan Hong still feels relieved after seeing it.

In the same way, the two came to "Xiao Zhai" first, and the shop assistants saw them, and quickly welcomed them in, and unloaded the goods from the ox cart.

Lou Xiao happened to have a big belly, checking the situation in the store.Seeing the two people coming and saying hello, they went back to their own affairs.

"The sweet-scented osmanthus cakes are too densely arranged. Let them be sparse. Also, the colors on the left are too mixed together. It hurts my eyes. You can rearrange them for me!" Lou Xiao said seriously with a straight face.

The guys who followed him immediately tidied up according to his instructions.

"Uncle Wang, tell them about our store's rules later. I don't want someone to complain to me again! Do you know?"

"Yes, ma'am." Uncle Wang bent down to answer.

After finishing his work, Lou Xiao leaned on his waist and came to the two of them, "Come in and sit with me."

Seeing that Lou Xiao was not in a good mood, Zhang Jin asked, "What? Did something happen in the store?"

"It's nothing, it's just that there is a shortage of people in the store. I went to Yazi's and bought two servants to serve as waiters in the store. But the newcomer didn't understand the rules, and he had an argument with the customer! It just so happened that he was a regular customer in the store. You have come to complain to me." Lou Xiao was dissatisfied while talking.

Seeing that his lingering anger was still there, Zhang Jin changed the subject, "I see that your stomach has grown a lot, when will the child come out?"

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Lou Xiao's expression softened obviously, but he said in a bitter tone, "There are still two months. This brat is really tossing me to death! See how I feel when he comes out. Get rid of him!"

But his love for the child can't be concealed anyway.

Zhang Jin smiled softly, "I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it then."

"There's nothing to be reluctant about," Lou Xiao immediately retorted, "He's my seed, I can do whatever I want, and Li Mingyin doesn't dare to say a word!"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jin and Lou Xiao talked very congenially and had a lot of common topics. Although their personalities were completely different, they actually shared a lot of common hobbies.

After finally finding someone to talk to, Lou Xiao was finally happy these days.

"Facing that ignorant idiot Li Mingyin every day is so boring!" Lou Xiao complained to Zhang Jin, "Even going out of the gate, he has to meddle in things, it's so annoying!"

Zhang Jin smiled helplessly, "He is also worried about you."

"Got it! I've heard enough!!" Lou Xiao frowned and waved his hand, "Don't mention him! Didn't you say you can play chess? Come and play a game with me!"

Zhang Jin was dragged by Lou Xiao to sit down in the yard, and there was a set of Go in front of her.

Yuan Hong was taken aback by Lou Xiao's arrogance, fearing that Zhang Jin would be hurt by his recklessness, he quickly and carefully protected Zhang Jin.

"Zi! You guys are old mothers!" Isn't it just pregnant?Is it necessary to be so nervous?One or two!Lou Xiao pouted, and said to Zhang Jin, "Let's play chess!"

"I didn't play well, you have to be merciful." Zhang Jin smiled slightly, holding the black first.

"There is no such thing as mercy on the battlefield. If I catch a gap, I will definitely kill the enemy!"

Lou Xiao then played a white stone.

As time progressed, Lou Xiao ate a few of Zhang Jin's sunspots first, but Zhang Jin retaliated to him after a short wait.The chess pieces fell back and forth, and finally Zhang Jin put down the black pieces in his hand and said, "I lost."

Lou Xiao couldn't help but twitched his lips, "You're not bad at playing, but you're still a little bit worse than me! You have too many worries, and I should say you should kill and make a decision, and you must not be soft-hearted!"

"Ma'am, you should rest!"

Suddenly, a magnetic voice came over.A man about eight feet tall appeared in the courtyard.

When Lou Xiao saw the person coming, he restrained his complacency just now, and said impatiently, "Troublesome!"

The man didn't care about Lou Xiao's words, and came to him, "I made your favorite pastries, go over and see which one you want to eat."

This is Li Mingyin.After Li Mingyin and Yuan Hong and Zhang Jin nodded, they continued the work of persuading Lou Xiao.

"Okay! I'm so bored! I'll go! If I'm not satisfied with what you do again, don't serve snacks in front of me in the future!"

After Lou Xiao finished speaking, Li Mingyin helped him to a small room, and invited Zhang Jin and Yuan Hong.

Surprisingly, this room is a very large kitchen.It's really big, the whole house is.It is fully equipped and the materials are also prepared in abundance.If you guessed right, the dim sum of "Xiao Zhai" is made here.

At this time, no one was busy inside. When they came in, Li Mingyin directly led them to a long table.There were three pastries placed on the long table, one of which Zhang Jin found very familiar, and it was actually very similar to a kind of bread from later generations.

"You did all of this?" Zhang Jin couldn't help asking.

Li Mingyin nodded, "It took me a while to figure out these three things, please try and give me some suggestions."

If Li Mingyin wasn't reborn like him or a time-traveler, then he could be called a master in this area.The snacks in his shop are not only rich in variety, but also delicious. What’s more, he is able to introduce new ones and constantly research new ones. Zhang Jin can’t help but admire him for being able to figure out a little bit of knowledge that is only available in later generations.

"It's dry, tasteless, it's unpalatable!" Lou Xiao put down the pastry similar to the bread of later generations with a look of disgust.

After hearing this, Zhang Jin also picked up a piece and tasted it. It was not as soft as later generations, and the taste was a bit worse.But it is very fragrant. If you taste it carefully, you will feel more and more fond of it. This taste is hard to tell.

But Lou Xiao was right. It was dry and had a single taste. It would be delicious if served with jam.

"I always feel that something is missing, but I can't think of anything to make up for it." Li Mingyin said very seriously. He thought of many ways and tried to add other materials into it, but the result was that it destroyed its own quality. smell.Therefore, at present, only such a product can be produced.

"Have you ever tried it with jam?" Zhang Jin said.

"Jam?" Li Mingyin turned to look at him.

"Well, can I borrow it here?" Zhang Jin pointed to the stove, and the strawberries and lemons on the long table.

Zhang Jin's idea is very simple, he wants to try to make strawberry jam, it should be delicious with Li Mingyin's "bread".It just so happens that there are plenty of materials here, and there are all kinds of seasonal fruits. He saw strawberries and lemons at a glance.

Seeing that he wanted to use the kitchen here, Li Mingyin didn't know what Zhang Jin was going to do, but he readily agreed.

Zhang Jin appeased Yuan Hong, who was opposed, and asked him to help him, and started making strawberry jam.

Speaking of which, the practice of strawberry jam is very simple.The first step is of course to clean the strawberries, but the strawberries here don’t use pesticides and are very clean, so it doesn’t take much effort to clean them.Then cut the cleaned strawberries into small pieces, pour them into a large bowl and mix well with sugar, then put them into the pot and stir fry continuously until the soup becomes thick, then add lemon juice, and finally the jam is done when it thickens.

This is a very simple method, and Zhang Jin can't guarantee how it tastes.

After the strawberry jam was ready, Lou Xiao was the first person who couldn't wait to taste it.Maybe it was because of the pregnant woman, smelling the sweet and sour smell, it was more difficult to resist than ordinary people to salivate.

"It's so delicious!" Lou Xiao held the plate in front of him with a big appetite.

Zhang Jin handed him a piece of "bread", "Eat it with this, try it."

Li Mingyin tried to use "bread" to dip some strawberry jam into his mouth, chewed for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, yes, that's what it felt like!

"I bought your prescription!" Li Mingyin looked very excited.

"It's just something I do"

"In my eyes, as long as it is food, it has its value, and it should not be treated casually! Since your jam is just right with the pastry I made, then you make a price, and I will buy it!"

They really are a couple, they act alike!

"It's really not necessary. You should have learned it by watching me do it. Why ask me to buy a prescription."

"You are insulting me! It is a shameless person to steal other people's skills without their permission!"

"You idiot!" Lou Xiao stomped on him resentfully.

Faced with such a serious Li Mingyin, Zhang Jin didn't know what to say. Many of the pastry dishes he has mastered are either learned from watching others cook, or learned after practicing the methods he found online.According to Li Mingyin, then he is also one of the "shameless" people.

"Okay, then you pay 200 taels, and we'll sell it to you." Seeing that Zhang Jin was silent, Yuan Hong spoke instead.

"Zhang Jin said he would give it to us for free, how could you ask us for 200 taels!" Lou Xiao accused Yuan Hong dissatisfied.

"It was Li Mingyin who refused. If you really want it, 200 taels is definitely not expensive. You will get your money back within three months."

"Okay, just 200 taels!"

"You idiot!" Lou Xiao was almost pissed off by Li Mingyin, a prodigal son, "If you want to make money, you can make it! 100 taels!"

"Impossible, 180 taels is still negotiable." Yuan Hong said flatly.

······

Seeing Yuan Hong and Lou Xiao bargaining, Zhang Jin consciously shut up.He really didn't want money. There were two reasons why he wanted to make strawberry jam here.The first one is to see how the "bread" made by Li Mingyin tastes when mixed with jam, and the other one is that he is greedy.When he saw the red strawberries, he thought of strawberry jam.The pickled strawberries that Nanny Zhang sent last time were almost eaten by him. He found that he had no resistance to these sweet and sour things recently, so he also thought of bringing some strawberry jam back to eat...

Finally, the two negotiated a prescription to buy strawberry jam for 150 taels of silver.Feeling embarrassed, Zhang Jin specially wrote a very complete prescription to Li Mingyin.

Lou Xiao gritted his teeth and watched Yuan Hong drive the car to the hospital.Turning around, he stared at Li Mingyin, and decided that Li Mingyin would not want to sleep in bed tonight!
