Ancient Fortune Records

After lunch at his grandfather's house, Shen Laiqiu didn't stay any longer and went back with his wife and children.As soon as they go back, they start preparing for the real New Year's Eve dinner.

Rouge duck (actually waxed duck), braised pork, braised fish, cabbage tofu, roasted chicken with sauce, mutton hot pot, roasted duck, roasted chicken with chestnuts, braised pork ribs, stir-fried bean sprouts, frozen soybean trotters, roasted radish pork, this is the New Year The dishes prepared by their family for dinner.Most of them are hard dishes, which are also Shen Li's favorite dishes.But after setting so many dishes, it is still not easy to really cook them up.Therefore, Mrs. Yu and Shen Li were busy working in the kitchen together, while Shen Laiqiu was busy preparing gifts for visiting relatives and friends in the first month, as well as food for the children who would celebrate the New Year tomorrow, cakes and tea were indispensable.

Lights were lit inside and outside the house, the red lanterns outside the house were brightly lit, red candles were lit inside the house, and balm candles (made of animal fat with spices inside) were lit inside the house, which looked bright and festive.While tidying up, Shen Laiqiu looked at the bright room and listened to the laughter in the kitchen, feeling extremely peaceful in his heart.

Tonight, the offering plate for the stove is set up. Pomegranate, red fruit, cloud cake, and maltose are arranged in four plates, which means "everything goes well".After finishing all this work, I went to the kitchen to remind Mrs. Yu not to forget to simmer a pot of red dates, red beans and eggs on the stove.This is something that must be eaten tomorrow morning. When guests come, you can also serve a bowl of jujube tea soup with many dates and an egg in it.This treatment is very good, because people in Shenjia Village are usually not willing to eat eggs.

After dinner, of course there would be no such activities as watching the Spring Festival Gala in ancient times. Shen Li originally wanted to watch the new year with his parents, but he was young and had walked a lot today, so naturally he fell asleep watching it.Shen Laiqiu chuckled, carried him to his bed, and did not forget to put a few copper coins under Shen Li's pillow.

This is Shen Li's first year in ancient times, apart from missing the Spring Festival Gala that he complained about at the beginning, and his relatives and friends in modern times, there is nothing else.A crystal clear teardrop oozed from the corner of Shen Li's eye, and soon disappeared into the pillow.This dull person, I am afraid that he does not know that he misses the modern home.

There is nothing special in the first month, except to make some tofu for soybeans, grain, copper coins or cloth, to help with calculations, and to read and write.Shen Li also occasionally cooks one or two delicious dishes, or snacks, such as spicy duck neck, duck wings and so on, which taste similar to the modern "juewei duck neck", as well as lo mei.Yu Shi is not a gluttonous person, and he ate a lot.Spicy and spicy duck neck, who doesn't like to eat it?The aroma of lo mei travels far.

When Shen Li made lo-mei for the first time, the aroma attracted all the surrounding villagers.

"What makes this so delicious? Why is Shen Laiqiu's wife so good at cooking, she's also a woman, it's good if my family doesn't overcook the food."

"You say that, be careful that your wife knows, and won't ask you to go to the kang at night!"

"Laiqiu, how do you sell this? Is it expensive? I'll buy some and take it home for my son to eat. He smells it and makes him cry."

Shen Li laughed, the real version of 'the kid next door is crying'.

Mrs. Yu asked Shen Li for his opinion, and gave some lo mei to the neighbors who came to watch the fun.This taste was incredible, everyone said it was delicious and swallowed their tongues.He kept praising Mrs. Yu for his good craftsmanship, making Mrs. Yu's face blush.

Strictly speaking, Yu Shi is the worst cook in this family.Shen Laiqiu has time to cook, and the taste of the food is better than that of Yu's. Maybe it's because the men of the Shen family are quite talented in this way.

On the same day, the lo mei was sold out, and I almost didn't even keep my own food.

Many vendors came to ask for the prescription, but Shen Li didn't give it.Without him, the bid is too low, not worth it.Some vendors had bad attitudes, they felt that the Shen family should be grateful for a few tens of taels of silver, and Shen Laiqiu was so angry that he picked up a pole and threw it at the people who passed by.

Someone else half-jokingly said: "Your family is always able to produce new gadgets. Could it be that, as the storyteller said, what gods can't give pointers?"

Shen Laiqiu smiled, but did not answer.The village has always wondered if their family picked up some great ancient books, which recorded fresh food, so his family prospered quickly.It's not worth mentioning as a joke, Shen Laiqiu was annoyed by the question, and said directly: "Yes, the old god gave a lot of prescriptions! Do you also believe this?"

Everyone is happy, no more words.

The smell of stewed meat is really too fragrant, and the price of meat is a bit more expensive. Many people just smell the smell, and their mouths are drooling, but they are still reluctant to buy it.Shen Li didn't intend to lower the price, so he made marinated eggs with marinade, and it sold well for two pennies and three marinated eggs.It's a pity that the tea is too expensive, otherwise the tea eggs are delicious.

Vegetarian chicken, Qianzhang, Baiganzi, yuba can also be marinated, and the price is also low. Those vendors come to buy, Shen Laiqiu earns a lot of money, and the marinade can be reused. As long as the recipe is not leaked, it can be passed on to future generations. So that future generations can live well.

Shen Li didn't expect Fang Zi to be able to hide it for long, it would be a good choice to earn some fresh money and then sell Fang Zi.Even if Fangzi is sold, it may be possible to sell it a second time or a third time in another place. If you continue to do this business yourself, as long as it doesn't affect the business of the person who bought Fangzi, it doesn't matter.

There are three main ways to get money at home, tofu products, rattan pepper oil, and stewed meat.It takes a long time to plant kudzu root and grain in spring.Tofu in summer, braised meat is easy to go bad, so you have to think about ways to keep it fresh.

Refrigerators are the best way to keep freshness. In ancient times, there was no electricity and no refrigerators, but there was ice.Ice is the most common thing in winter, especially the lake in Zhuangzi, where the ice is thick and clean. The servants usually use clean wooden barrels to drink directly from the lake, but Shen Li stopped it later.

Shen Li asked his father to send him to the Zhuangzi. By the way, he found a craftsman to dig a deep cellar, and asked the Zhuang servant to help him boil a lot of water, so that the boiled water would freeze. If the ice cellar was built, the ice It can be eaten until summer, and it is especially suitable for cold drinks.Other ice that is used for cooling down or keeping fresh does not need to be so troublesome. A large number of ice cubes are dug directly from the frozen lake, and the temperature of the cellar will drop a lot in an instant. The ice cellar is sealed, waiting to be used in summer.

Shen Laiqiu looked at his son's head with melon seeds, shook his head and sighed, this kid doesn't know where he got so many good ideas, saving winter ice for summer, he can earn a lot of money just by selling ice.

Shen Li originally wanted to use saltpeter to make ice, but the price of saltpeter here is a bit expensive, maybe other places are cheaper, and Shen Li didn't bother to inquire about it.

After dealing with these chores, Shen Laiqiu finally decided to visit his parents-in-law and eldest brother-in-law.Over the years, the two families have had no contact, so it was a bit abrupt to go there. It was just the beginning of spring farming, and there was no time to go, so on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the family decided to visit with gifts.

Shen Li had never met his uncle, so it would be a lie if he wasn't curious.His mother's emotions are much more complicated, both a little missing and a little bit of resentment.It is said that my uncle is a man with strong self-esteem. Back then, my grandfather took the gift money from my mother to marry my uncle, and forced him to accept it with filial piety, but my uncle reluctantly accepted it.Later, he made some money by hunting. When Shen Li was full moon, he got a longevity lock, which was almost the price of a bride price back then.

Later, Grandpa got angry and felt that he had lost face, so he completely fell out with Mrs. Yu because of this incident.Grandmother has little right to speak at home. Although she is angry with her husband for being stubborn, there is nothing she can do.

Over the years, Yu has hated and complained, but she just remembered that when she was a girl, her mother and elder brother treated her very well, so she was relieved.Now she has a husband who is able to make money and become a food grower, and has a smart and caring son. If she doesn't go back at this time, when will she wait?Although his father doesn't like her, he won't get along with a girl who is a fool.

Shen Li wanted to see his uncle with all his heart, but his left and right eyelids kept beating.

"Father, the door of our house should be locked, and there is no fire wick in the stove."

"The doors and windows are all locked, and everything that can light a fire in the house is covered with an iron cover. What's wrong?"

Only then did Shen Li feel a little relieved, the flustered feeling just now had no reason, maybe it was because of worrying too much.

Shen Laiqiu smiled: "Why, are you afraid of being thieves? Our family's money and food have been transported to Zhuangzi. What are you afraid of?"

That's right, then there's nothing to worry about. The houses in the village are all for food. If you want something in your daily life, you can just exchange it with tofu or other food, and you don't need to spend money.

Shen Li's uncle is Yu Xinghong. When Shen Li went to Houpo Village, he saw a tall and thin man sawing wood at the entrance of the village.My mother's family seems to live at the entrance of Shipo Village, and this man looks like my mother.

Shen Li hurriedly asked: "Mother, is that uncle?"

His mother nodded in a daze: "Why do you look so thin?"

Shen Li stepped forward and shouted: "Are you my uncle?"

When the man heard a child call him uncle, he thought he heard it wrong, but after a closer look, wasn't that the child's aunt?Hurrying up to greet her with a limp, Yu's tears flowed down her cheeks.What's going on, why is he limping?

Yu Xinghong smiled wryly: "These years, I have three children in my family. I work as a carpenter and do farm work. I can't support the two old ones and the three young ones. I just run up the mountain and want to hunt a big one. I met a bear Blind man, when he was running away, he crippled his leg." Even if he is lucky, it's no big deal if he didn't die. Now his wife is weaving at home, and he knows carpentry. At least he won't starve to death. It's just the poor three boys, who are green and yellow. Time to go hungry.

Yu Shi was very angry: "You are like this, you never ask me for anything! You are my brother, don't I care about you?"

"I'm sorry for what happened back then. How dare you come here now? It costs money to visit relatives. Our family has no money, and we are afraid of embarrassing you. You are a daughter-in-law in the Shen family, and you are not doing well. I It's also troublesome to come to you."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yu said, "Okay, let me come to see you instead. You didn't say anything, did you?"

An old woman poked her head out from the short fence: "It's Hui Niang, Hui Niang is back! Old man, Hui Niang is back!"

"Come back when you come back, see how excited you are." The old man on crutches opened the courtyard door, "Come in when you come."

The expression is calm, and it is impossible to tell whether it is welcome or not.But seeing Shen Li's eyes was not so calm, "The child born is also a fool, I don't know how to call someone."

"Grandfather!"

The old man choked, and took out a fruit from his arms, "Eat it, hum! Why don't you come in, what are you doing there?"

Grandmother was much more straightforward, she came up and hugged Shen Li, "My dear, I'm all your grandpa's fault for growing up so big, otherwise our grandma has only seen her twice when Li'er has grown so big."

The grandfather left angrily, and the grandmother blinked: "This old man, I have regretted it more and more in the past few years, and I know what I did wrong, but if the family is prosperous, I will go to you to admit my mistake, but there is nothing at home. I can’t say it, I’m afraid your in-law’s family will misunderstand us to fight the autumn wind.”

Shen Laiqiu shook his head helplessly, these years his parents' family is indeed not a family that has had a hard time, but he is the least favored at home, and his father-in-law went away, and he was also angered.

Now that the knot in her heart has been slightly untied for the time being, Mrs. Yu is also much calmer.Enter the room to talk, let's not mention it for now.

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.Shen Li didn't know at this moment that several thieves were rummaging through boxes and cabinets in his house looking for the so-called secret recipes of ancient books.

"Boss, do you think his family really has a prescription?"

"If you can't find them, just wait for them to come back. If you don't say anything, just take their lives. How can there be so much nonsense. Anyway, the superiors want them to die. Finding ancient books or something is not as fast as killing people."

A group of people looked for something to eat on the table. After eating, they planned to continue searching, but they couldn't find any ancient books, but their stomachs suddenly felt cramped.

"Things to eat are poisonous..."

The thieves were so painful that they couldn't stand upright, only hearing the neighing of horses outside.The culprits looked at each other in horror.

The author has something to say: Shen Li: You didn't find so much food, but you ate it with special rat poison, so I have nothing to do.

Alright, I haven't met Gong Shou yet, but the stupid author tried his best, and we will meet in the next chapter hahaha.
