Breeding Mermaid Cubs

24, small night.

Wang Qingye told the staff to clean up the shop inside and out, and the annual holiday will be tomorrow.

Zhou Zhu left the restaurant one day earlier than the waiter, and came to the restaurant early this morning to help.

"Did you bring the crab you bought?"

"Bring it, bring it, and keep it in the back kitchen. The fishing moratorium is on the Chinese New Year, and crabs are not easy to buy. Thanks to my early arrival, I used to go to a place to buy seafood from the stall. They specially left some good goods for me, and the sand is already vomited."

Wang Qingye calculated that there was nothing to do during the new year, there were not many people in the family, and there were not many new year's goods to buy, and there were no relatives and friends to rush out during the first month, so he simply asked Zhou Zhu to buy some crabs and come back to fiddle with them for food.

The blue crabs in the basket are big and plump. Although they are not as high quality as the ones in autumn, it is good to be able to buy them this morning.

Wang Qingye found a quiet place in the back kitchen, turned on the live broadcast, and planned to cook two dishes on the live broadcast today, making drunk crab and sugar crab.

After cleaning the crabs, Wang Qingye made sugar crabs first.

The sugar crab needs to be marinated for nearly a month before and after. The syrup is boiled and let cool. Take the fresh crab and soak it overnight. The next day, take the crab out and transfer it to the rest of the container, add an appropriate amount of Polygonum soup and salt, and seal it in a jar for storage.After more than half a month, put ginger powder in the belly button of each crab, add Polygonum soup salt water, seal it and store it again, and take it at any time thereafter. ①

The sugar crab is added with ginger to remove the fishy smell and add a spicy taste. The taste is delicious, salty and sweet. The crab shell is covered with a layer of sugar juice, which makes people want to take a sip.

Besides, drunk crabs can be eaten after soaking for a day, and they need to be soaked just like sugar crabs.

Use Huadiao wine as the base of the juice, add seasonings such as sugar, chicken essence, salt, pepper, coriander, onion, ginger, garlic, spring onion, pepper, etc. Heat and boil, then add soy sauce, and make a good soup After the juice is cooled, pour it into a container with crabs to marinate, and it can be eaten the next day. ②

The Eleventh Day of Interstellar Day: It’s been a long time since the anchor has just done a live broadcast of food!

Yichichun: Ah, new dishes have been added to the crab dish series, and the menu has been refreshed. Looking forward to the finished sugar crab.

Interstellar 123: Do you eat crabs at night?

"I'm steaming a cured chicken at home. The bacon smoked before is almost full of flavor. Try it tonight."

Ping Ping Bang Bang: The cured meat that the anchor smoked before looks delicious, especially the one with peppercorns, which really won my heart. It’s a pity that I didn’t make cured duck, which is also delicious.

ddd: Can Yuyu eat cured meat?He usually eats seafood.

"Mianshu is not taboo, you can eat anything, if you get tired of seafood, you have to eat something else."

Speaking of Mianshu, many viewers who had not spoken in the live broadcast room became active.

...: I found Hua Dian, so is our Zai Zai called Mian Shu?The name is so soft and cute, I love Zai Zai even more.

X: So where did the baby fish go today?The live broadcast has been on for so long and it hasn't come out yet.

"He went to visit a classmate's house in the academy. He went out early in the morning and said he would come back after lunch."

X: Ah, my son, I can’t see him again in this live broadcast, crying.Could it be broadcast for one hour in the morning, and another two hours in the afternoon when the cub comes back?

Talkative: I miss Zai Zai, but Zai Zai is socialized now, ah, the child has grown up!That's pretty good, take back what you said about blaming the anchor for sending Zai Zai to the academy.

Balabala: The upstairs is right, I want to see what Zai Zai’s friends are like.

Wang Qingye was silent and didn't speak, these people probably thought of something messy again.

X: Is there a live broadcast of Zai Zai during the Chinese New Year?If not, don't watch other shows.

"This... can be broadcast again. I saw a hot pot base two days ago. Let Mianshu help cook for a while during the New Year's Eve."

StarCraft 123: Wow, that really is the Chinese New Year!It’s okay to watch hot pot, but you can also watch Zai Zai cook, the old mother is excited!

X: What flavor of hot pot base does Zai Zai like?Can you eat spicy?How about letting Zai Zai cook again tomorrow, and ask him what kind of base material he likes~

sususu: Yes, yes, there are quite a lot of hot pot bases to choose from on the system, so you can give whatever you like.

Wang Qingye: I really can think of any excuse to meet the cub.

"Okay, I'll ask him tonight."

"Lang Jun, the restaurant has been cleaned up! The accountant has also settled the bills with everyone, and we are still waiting for your arrangement. Are the crabs ready? I'll show you first."

Zhou Zhu washed his hands and wiped them, and ran in from the outside.

"A smell of wine, you can smell it outside."

"It's almost ready, you can help me marinate the crabs after the wine sauce is cold."

"okay."

In fact, today is to call everyone to clean up. Anyway, it will not open in the afternoon, and everyone has nothing to do. He used to ask the guys if they have received their wages. He asked everyone to go back after there was no problem. It was the beginning of the new year. Four back to work.

Everyone happily went back to celebrate the New Year, and the shop became quiet all of a sudden.

Wang Qingye went to the front desk to look through the account books. The shop opened at the beginning of the month, and now it has been running well for nearly a month. The gross profit is nearly 70 taels, and the cost of planing is about 50 taels, which is indeed greater than the profit of a small stall. If you insist on opening until the Chinese New Year, you must have earned back the money you paid for the shop in a month.

After all, it was a good deal to buy before. If the boss was not in a hurry to sell, the price would not have been so low. Besides, the decoration at the back also cost a lot of money.

After reading the accounts, he saw a small notebook under the account books, which also recorded the day's expenses ten days ago. He remembered the details, including how much the vegetables, meat, rice and grains he bought, the price of dishes and dishes, and the whole day's income. The handwriting was beautiful. Round and a little green, it was written down by Mianshu for the first time.

"Lang Jun, why is it so funny?"

Wang Qingye raised his eyebrows: "Am I laughing?"

"Are you kidding yourself, don't you know?" Zhou Zhu laughed: "It's all soaked, so I can take it home for you?"

"The sugar crab has been marinated for a long time, so let's put it here. Take the drunk crab home. I put a lot of alcohol in it, so I can eat it in the evening. If you want to eat cured meat in the evening, do you want to go there?"

Zhou Zhu scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's all right to eat and drink at Mr. Lang's house from time to time, and I have thick skins, but my mother told me that the daycare person told me a girl and told me to go home early today to clean up. .”

Wang Qingye patted Zhou Zhu's shoulder: "You can do it, kid."

"Thanks to Mr. Lang, I have earned some money in the past few months, and my mother's health has improved a lot. The family life is still relatively well-off. My mother said that I should be a lady housekeeper while this is the time. Mr. Wang treats me well. After I get married, I can focus more on my errands, and save myself from worrying about both ends."

Wang Qingye nodded, men and women in the court are young to get married, it is a good thing to follow the trend and start a family earlier, but...he still wants the couple to work for him together, and the snack shop will open when the time comes , a capable couple will help him take care of it, which can save a lot of work.

He said casually: "Then I have to congratulate you."

Zhou Zhu smiled wryly: "I also don't want my mother to worry too much. She felt that her poor health dragged me down. Now that I have married earlier, she feels better."

"Then I can wait to drink your wedding wine. Oh, it's a pity."

Zhou Zhu's eyebrows twitched: "What a pity?"

"Originally, I was able to have two dinners of wedding wine, but now it has become a meal. Don't you think it's a pity?"

"What does Mr. Lang mean?"

"You still don't know?" Wang Qingye frowned and shook his head: "A few days ago, people from the Qin family went to the Zhang family to make a big fuss. This marriage is not going to work."

Wang Qingye secretly watched Zhou Zhu's expression change. Sure enough, Zhou Zhu's eyes flashed when he heard this, but he didn't show it directly. Did it? Why did you change your mind? But the Qin family changed their minds? Isn't Yan'er very sad?"

After asking several questions in a row, Zhou Zhu quickly closed his mouth: "We have been working together for two months, I think a girl like Yan'er must have been depressed and anxious when she encountered this incident."

"Of course I know that you care about the girl I worked with in the past." Wang Qingye laughed: "It's true that Yan'er is such a good girl. The Qin family didn't know that it was his loss, and they intended to let Yan'er go to be a concubine. Shameless."

"How did this humiliation happen! This Qin family is not a high-ranking family, how could they open such a mouth."

Wang Qingye nodded approvingly, and patted Zhou Zhu's shoulder again: "But it's not necessarily a good thing to recognize the face of the Qin family as soon as possible. Is Yan'er such a good girl still worrying about not being able to find a good family?"

"You think so? Zhou Zhu?"

Zhou Zhu was silent, did not answer, and asked after a while: "What do you think a girl like Yan'er would like, Mr. Lang?"

"with effort."

"Ah?" Zhou Zhu looked at Wang Qingye in confusion.

"I'm older than you, and I'm not married yet. How to understand the little girl's mind, you still need to spend some time on your own. Others can feel it if you put your heart into it."

Zhou Zhu made a bitter face, looked at Wang Qingye and hesitated to speak.

"You can say whatever you want, why do you put on such a look."

"Some things I don't know whether to say or not to say."

"You said."

Zhou Zhu coughed dryly and said: "Lang Jun is a dragon and a phoenix among men, he is wise and powerful, so he will not worry about finding a good girl. If he wants to get married, it will not take much trouble. It's just..."

"Just what?"

Zhou Zhu took the risk of being beaten and said: "No matter how much the lord loves the younger brother, he doesn't have to sleep together. What he knows is that the brothers are in harmony, but what he doesn't know...... I think the lord likes it. masculine."

"Huh?" Wang Qingye's brows tightened, the amount of information in these words was a bit large: "How did you know that we slept together? No, I want to ask who said I'm a man?"

Zhou Zhu resentfully said: "There is only one bedroom in Mr. Lang's house, and there is only one bed, if you don't sleep together..."

In fact, what Zhou Zhu said was very euphemistic. Before he went to the back room to move materials with the permission of Mr. Lang, he felt that the furnishings of Mr. Lang’s room were very strange. There was a big bathtub beside the bed. It’s because the little brother changed to a bigger one after he came back... It’s like a one-person bath was replaced by a two-person bath~

He knows he shouldn't speculate wildly, but there is only one bed in Langjun's house, and he goes in and out of the two people's house every day. It can be said that he is closer to Langjun than the Zhang family. Maybe others don't know, but he can I don't know how close Lang Jun and my little brother are, but they really don't look like brothers.

Looking at Wang Qingye's tangled expression, Zhou Zhu felt that he was really talking too much. In fact, he had kept these words in his heart for a long time, but he felt relieved when he said them.Wang Qingye is a good man, he has taken good care of him these past few months, he secretly regards Wang Qingye as his elder brother, although his orientation is a bit different from ordinary people, but he really doesn't mind.

No matter how you look at it, Lang Jun doesn't look like an ordinary family's son. He is probably from a big family in Sichuan and Shu. No one would think that such an outstanding son like himself would lose his incense because he likes men. So Lang Jun gave up his family business and took his little brother to hide in Xiacheng, where the emperor was far away, just so that the two of them could avoid the secular obstruction to be together.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was the case. It was not only reasonable, but even admirable. Zhou Zhu was almost moved to tears.

He immediately said: "Your Majesty is deeply affectionate and righteous, don't worry, I will definitely not tell the third person about this matter, and I will keep the secrets of you and my little brother as carefully as before."

Wang Qingye: ......You can be witty.

"You may not believe me, but I actually slept on the floor."

Zhou Zhu nodded: "I understand, and I will know how to say it in the future."

Wang Qingye rubbed his temples, feeling that Zhou Zhu had misunderstood something, and he didn't quite believe his explanation, but he couldn't explain clearly. He did sleep with Mian Shu, not in that sense, but simply slept. .

Forget it, I really can't tell, anyway, he can't let the little boy go to bed no matter how he behaves in the future, not to mention the coldness of the winter, the most important thing is that it is easy for people to misunderstand other things.

Zhou Zhu quickly took the initiative to change the subject and said, "Didn't Mr. Lang say to eat cured meat at night? I'll take the drunk crab to the alley outside the city and help you."

"Yo, don't you want to hurry back?"

Zhou Zhu said with a flattering smile: "It's not in a hurry. It's not in a hurry."

The cured meat was smoked with pines and cypresses before and it was really fragrant. Wang Qingye took a chicken, two salted fish, pork kidneys, three pork ribs, and two sausages. The ribs and kidneys are used for cooking. It is very delicious to put some radish or cabbage into the cured soup, and it can also neutralize the salty taste.

"Lang Jun's cured meat is also very good."

Zhou Zhu couldn't help admiring while cleaning outside: "Let my mother make some next year, and at the same time, there are still pigs that are slaughtered for the New Year. The price is cheaper than the meat market, and let my mother make some sausages. Or I used to make it when my dad was around, and I couldn't get enough of the taste."

"Why don't you do it later?"

"After my father left, the conditions at home got worse and worse, and there was less time to eat meat. Where can I make sausages?"

Wang Qingye said: "Fortunately, you are capable now."

The stove is burning vigorously, and the aroma of the bacon is scurrying in the scalding water. Just put a few peppercorns and a piece of crushed ginger, and the taste will be delicious.

"Lang Jun, I will open the gate of the courtyard so that my brother can come back later."

Zhou Zhu stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked at it again and again, but he did not see the opposite courtyard door open.

Wang Qingye also sees through but does not tell.

"Brother Zhou Zhu, hurry up..."

Later, when Mianshu came back from the city, he happened to meet Zhang's father and daughter going out to buy new year's goods in the street. Zhou Zhu, who probed his head, wanted to ask someone to help him, but Zhou Zhu rushed over without waiting for him to speak.

"Uncle Wu Yaner, let me get it for you."

"Brother Zhou is also here."

"Yes, I came here with Mr. Lang this afternoon."

Mian Shu watched Zhou Zhu and Zhang Wu enter the yard talking and laughing, pursed her mouth, gave Zhang Yan'er the things in her hand, and ran back to her own yard suddenly.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I smelled the scent of wax: "What are you eating tonight?"

"Didn't you just come back from Jiang Yu's house? They treated you badly at noon and didn't you have enough?"

"I'm already hungry at this hour."

Wang Qingye threw two pieces of wood into the stove and said, "Is the Jiang family fun?"

"It's okay. Their house has a big pond. They raised a lot of koi and they grew fat and big. I ate two of them while he wasn't paying attention." Mian Shu sat down next to Wang Qingye, the fire in the stove was shining. When he came out, Wang Qingye was warm from the toast, and he took out a very delicate and beautiful oil paper package from his sleeve pocket: "Look, the pastries I brought you from Fuxizhai contain egg yolk crisps Very delicious."

Wang Qingye unwrapped the hemp rope tied into a blessing knot, and the packaging was suitable for the occasion and beautiful, a small egg yolk crisp, the skin can be drawn, and the egg yolk is salty and fragrant, which is quite delicious.

"How about it?"

"good to eat."

Mian Shu frowned, and hugged Wang Qingye's waist: "I knew you would like it."

I wanted to give the cub a hug, but thinking of what Zhou Zhu said today, Wang Qingye withdrew his hand again: "Don't make trouble, someone is paying attention to propriety, where is your brother Zhou Zhu?"

"He ran to Sister Yan'er's house, I don't know when he will return." Mian Shu said again: "Brother Zhou Zhu likes Sister Yan'er, right?"

"You can ask him if you have time."

"Is Wang Langjun here?"

A strange voice from outside interrupted their conversation, Wang Qingye put the pastry in Mianshu's hands: "Who is here, I'll go and see."

"So it's my boss, please sit in the room."

The middle-aged woman brought two young servants, and they lined up very imposingly. Wang Qingye thought that the rent for this month had been paid early in the morning. It was just a connection with the manager of a real estate company, and the front was tight, so the manager sent a fierce man to collect the bills, but he had never seen the real owner's house before.

There was one time when he went to pay the rent in the real estate agency and found out when he saw the woman go to check the accounts.

"I don't know what is the reason for this host's visit?"

Wang Qingye added a cup of tea to the woman, and the woman smiled kindly: "I came here to bother you, and I have something to discuss with you when I come back."

"My master doesn't think the journey is too long. It must be important to come to the door in person, but it doesn't matter."

"It's like this. I opened a restaurant under my name. In the past two months, the profit has increased a lot. When I went to check the accounts, I heard that the cook said that he bought a new ingredient called oil consumption. After some inquiries, I found out that it was I bought it from Langjun's stall. Unfortunately, there are many people at Langjun's stall every day, and the ingredients sold are not the same every day. Occasionally, I come to order and the supply is too good. The supply is too good. Simply listen to the restaurant manager's idea, Come to Xunlang Jun to buy the secret recipe, and save some things from now on.”

What else is Wang Qingye doing? It turned out that he came to buy the secret recipe. Since the business at the stall went out, he came to inquire about the secret recipe for food. There are countless secret recipes. The reason why the secret recipe is kept in hand and not sold is entirely because there are some ingredients that cannot be found at all nowadays.

Fortunately, what the woman wanted was a fuel-intensive formula, which can be made now, and it would be a waste of time for her to change it to something else.

"It's easy to say, why don't you go to the boss's house for such a trivial matter, and send a young man in charge to talk about it."

The woman's eyebrows moved slightly: "Mr. Lang is willing to do this business?"

He picked the words well and said: "The master rented my house to shelter from the wind and rain. If he wants to do business with me now, I should accept it according to the situation and reason."

"Lang Jun is really a reasonable person."

The two parties negotiated harmoniously, and the fuel-intensive recipe was sold for 120 taels, which is a good sign for the New Year.

Wang Qingye thinks it is worth it. First, the price is not a buyout. Second, the fuel consumption is actually made from boiled oyster meat, and the meat is not boiled. After the oyster juice is boiled, the meat can be picked up. After eating, the remaining juice is slowly simmered to thicken and thicken, and put in old sauce for coloring. For Xiacheng, where it is extremely easy to buy oysters and the price is not high, it is really easy to make oysters.

Years ago, Wang Qingye was busy for two days and went to his boss's restaurant to teach the secret recipe. He didn't settle the balance of 50 taels of silver until the oily and fresh food he made was delicious.

The owner’s surname is Xu, and he didn’t know until he went to the restaurant that the Xu family owned one-fifth of the houses in Xiacheng. There are houses of various styles, not only in the house business, but also in cloth restaurants, etc... The family business is comparable to that of the Tang family.

It is precisely because they know that the two families are rich and powerful, it is normal for Wang Qingye to befriend Tang Suxiao on a regular basis, after all, he is a young master who does nothing, so it is somewhat strange that the wife of the Xu family came to do business with him in person.

On the contrary, Tang Suxiao explained to him that Mrs. Xu never took her husband's surname. Her husband's surname was Zhang. When he was young, he was a well-known handsome man in Xiacheng. What I do is to invite friends to eat, drink and have fun. I am happy like a fairy, and Mrs. Xu personally takes care of the family business.

The Xu family's recruitment of a son-in-law is ancestral, and it was the case in the previous generation. Now Mrs. Xu and Mr. Zhang have only one only child, and it seems that the recruitment of a son-in-law is going to be passed on.

Tang Suxiao asked with a faint smile but not a smile: "If I'm not mistaken, did Madam Xu invite Brother Wang to come to the house as a guest on the sixth day of the lunar new year?"

"Young master Tang is a master of predicting things."

Tang Suxiao shook his head: "I don't know how many young men in the city have sharpened their heads to think that the invitation card will not be allowed in. Our brother Wang is really extraordinary, Mrs. Xu personally sent the invitation card."

"Your Excellency will be able to see the young talents in Xiacheng." Tang Suxiao's eyes were full of hope: "At that time, I will be able to see many beauties again."

Wang Qingye felt that something was wrong with this banquet, but hearing Tang Suxiao's tone: "Brother Tang will also go?"

"Of course, although I'm not very pleasing in front of Mrs. Xu, the Tang and Xu families are family friends, and the Tang family will definitely be invited to such a big event."

"So, it seems that I have to find an excuse to refuse."

"No, Brother Wang may find the banquet boring, but it's not a bad idea to go for a walk to get acquainted and make some contacts in Xiacheng."

The author has something to say: ①②The method of cooking is written with reference to Baidu, and I have never done it haha.

Zhou Zhu: Another day of tears for the love of gods.
