Traveling through life to become rich

After the two left, a figure came out from behind the courtyard wall, looking at their backs with complicated expressions in their eyes.

It was Xie Wanru.

This is the first time she has seen Xie Mingyu and his foster brother named Shen Yanzhi in these days, she did not expect to be so outstanding in appearance, and her clothes are even more luxurious, just like a nobleman's attire.

It's just that the scene of the two of them getting along is awkward no matter how you look at it.

Xie Wanru thought to herself: Would ordinary brothers also do such a small gesture of intimacy?

After a long time, as if thinking of something, Xie Wanru showed a vicious smile on her face, like a poisonous snake revealing its heart to hunt, and told a maid beside her, saying: "If you don't go to the plum garden to enjoy the plum blossoms, go to the wife in the front yard. Go and report first, to see if your wife is busy."

Xie Mingyu brought the four broken red plums back to Wentao Garden, put them in a white jade bottle, and took Shen Yanzhi out of the mansion.

There was no one on the street at this time, Xie Mingyu thought about it, and took Shen Yanzhi to Yuejun Building.

Although it was snowing heavily, the business of Yuejun Building was still booming, and the lobby on the first floor was filled with lively conversations.

Xie Mingyu didn't want to join in the fun on the first floor, so she asked for the window-facing room on the second floor, and ordered a plate of peanuts, a plate of sauced beef, a pot of hot bamboo leaf green and a pot of Biluochun.

The wine belongs to Xie Mingyu, and the tea belongs to Shen Yanzhi.

Xie Mingyu poured a cup of hot wine, took a sip, the taste was soft and mellow, and the feeling was not bad.

Seeing Xie Mingyu enjoying himself, Shen Yanzhi was a little greedy, and flattered him: "Brother, pour me a glass too."

"Children are not allowed to drink alcohol." Xie Mingyu said as a matter of course.

Shen Yanzhi stared at the big innocent eyes, and said in doubt: "But my brother is only less than one year older than me, why can't I drink if my brother can drink?"

Xie Mingyu was 23 years old in her previous life, and for a moment she forgot that she was only 16 years old in this body, so she had to change her words: "Um, you can only drink it when you are 16 years old."

"Okay." Shen Yanzhi nodded obediently, poured a cup of hot tea and drank it slowly.

While the two were talking, Cao Dekun, the shopkeeper of Yuejun Building, knocked on the door and came in, with a smile on his face, looking very kind.

"Your guest is coming, welcome from far away!"

Xie Mingyu said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Cao, you are being polite. There is so much snow outside, and the business of Yuejun Building is still so good. It really is no longer famous."

Cao Dekun narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said, "It's because of the heavy snow that the business is good. Many people in the lobby are here to participate in the poetry competition."

"Poetry competition?" Both Shen Yanzhi and Xie Mingyu looked curious.

Cao Dekun saw that neither of them knew about the poetry competition, so he briefly introduced it and said, "Isn't this the Spring Festival? According to the days of previous years, it will be around February, and the poetry competition will be based on random An impromptu poem is written on a designated object, and then everyone will appreciate it and rank it. Although it is not rigorous, those who can get a good ranking in the poetry competition can basically be on the list, so they are very popular among talented people. Literati's favor."

"I see." Xie Mingyu nodded clearly.

"Thank you shopkeeper, too, go down and join in the fun?" Cao Dekun invited.

"I have no ink in my belly, so I won't be ashamed." Xie Mingyu smiled and refused.

Shen Yanzhi was quite interested, and asked after hearing the words: "Brother, can I go down and play for a while?"

Seeing him looking at her expectantly, Xie Mingyu said with a smile: "Go, don't run around, come up after playing for a while."

"Okay!" Shen Yanzhi agreed with a smile, and ran downstairs to play.

After Shen Yanzhi left the room, Cao Dekun said a few more words with Xie Mingyu, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his smiling face, he thought twice, finally gritted his teeth, and said: "Thank you shopkeeper, the one you sold to me earlier Fang Zi, I have studied and brewed it many times, but the taste of the final product seems to be a bit off, the fragrance is weak, I really don't know where the problem is, I wonder if the shopkeeper can give me some pointers?"

Xie Mingyu nodded: "No problem, shopkeeper Cao, please tell me about the cooking process, and I will first hear if there are any mistakes in the steps.

"

Cao Dekun nodded, turned around and closed the door of the private room tightly, and then whispered about the process of making the bottom material by himself.

Xie Mingyu listened, smiled slightly, and figured out the crux of the problem, and asked: "Before the spices are boiled in water, are they fried?"

Cao Dekun nodded and said, "A lot of the spices in the recipe are traditional Chinese medicines. I did fry them, but they were only slightly heated, and I didn't dry fry them for a long time. I'm worried that they won't work after frying."

Xie Mingyu laughed and said, "Master Cao, that recipe is for cooking, not for soup. I told you when I dictated the recipe to you that the spices must be fully fried, so After frying, the medicinal properties will be slightly lost, but Malatang is not a medicinal diet, so there is no need to deliberately pursue the medicinal effects, only when the spices are completely fried, the boiled base will be more flavorful, rich in fragrance and long aftertaste."

Cao Dekun nodded thoughtfully.

Xie Mingyu paused for a moment and then said: "The base material is the basis of the taste. What is really nutritious is that shopkeeper Cao can try to use different ingredients to make a nutritious broth."

Cao Dekun was enlightened when he heard the words, clapped his hands and smiled and said, "It seems that I made a self-righteous mistake. Thank you for the shopkeeper's suggestion. Today's food and drink will be included in my account, so I can express my gratitude."

"Haha, thank you very much." Xie Mingyu accepted Cao Dekun's kindness without being shy.

Shopkeeper Cao didn't sit any longer after that, and went downstairs to prepare the food and drinks needed for the poetry competition.

Shen Yanzhi played downstairs for a while, remembering Xie Mingyu's instructions, and soon went upstairs, with a plate of pastries in his hand, saying that they were provided for free to those in the poetry competition.

"I think it's delicious, brother, try it!" Shen Yanzhi brought the pastries in front of Xie Mingyu like a treasure: "I tasted every plate, and this one is the best."

Xie Mingyu touched Shen Yanzhi's cheek lovingly, and said with a smile: "Usually I don't love you for nothing, if you have something delicious, remember brother

!,'

As he spoke, he picked up a small piece and put it in his mouth. He tasted it was jujube paste yam cake. To be honest, for him who is used to eating all kinds of modern cakes, this cake is very ordinary and tastes bland.

Seeing Shen Yanzhi eating with gusto, Xie Mingyu felt a little distressed for no reason. There are all kinds of snacks and snacks in the space, but because he is outside now, Xie Mingyu still needs to be more cautious, so as not to reveal some clues that arouse suspicion. He thought about it and decided to borrow it for a while. The back kitchen of Yuejun Building personally made some snacks for him.

Just do what you say, Xie Mingyu called the clerk from Yuejun Building and asked him to ask the shopkeeper if he could borrow the kitchen of the restaurant. Then the two went to the back kitchen.

"Let's go, brother will make you a different snack!" Xie Mingyu said with a smile.

Shen Yanzhi was overjoyed when he heard the words, and followed behind him nervously.

The kitchen of the restaurant is really magnificent, there are three rows of stoves firing at the same time, a dozen chefs and helpers are busy, cooking different delicious dishes.

Xie Mingyu chose a small stove that was temporarily unused in the corner, and looked at the ingredients, and found that they were all big fish, meat, and vegetables that were suitable for making dishes, and there were very few ingredients for dim sum.

While rummaging through, he wondered whether he should buy some ingredients in the space and mix them in. Just when he was about to give up, he found a few dried corn in the corner.

Come on, let's make popcorn!

Peel the corn kernels neatly, pick out the damaged ones, set the stove on fire, burn off the water in the pot, then pour the clean corn kernels into the pot, heat it on low heat, and when the corn starts to crack, cover it Put the lid on the pot, and keep pressing the pot with your wrist to make it evenly heated. After that, there will be a crackling sound in the pot until the sound stops, and then dry the popped corn in the prepared sea bowl.

This is the original popcorn, with the fragrance of corn.

Then quietly sneak a piece of good butter from the space, add a proper amount of white soup, heat and stir over low heat until the butter and sugar are completely melted together, exuding a rich creamy aroma.

Then put the previously popped corn into the bottom of the pot and stir fry evenly until the boiled butter and sugar juice is completely wrapped on the corn, and then pour it back into a large bowl. After cooling, it is sweet and delicious butter popcorn!

The back kitchen is full of rich aroma because it is frying all kinds of dishes, but this sweet fragrance makes everyone in the back kitchen smell it.

Originally, when they saw a well-dressed young man enter the kitchen, they were a little surprised, but now they saw that Xie Mingyu used the dry corn in the kitchen to make a food that had never been seen before, and the smell was so delicious. Tempting, for a moment can only be described as stunned.

Shen Yanzhi joyfully hugged the big bowl of popcorn, poured out half of it without hesitation, and gave it to the cooks to taste the taste, then followed Xie Mingyu, and returned to the second-floor elegant between.

It's just that the fragrance of this cream is too rich and attractive. When people in the hall smelled the fragrance, they couldn't help but lock their eyes on Shen Yanzhi, wanting to see what was in his bowl. It smelled so good, it tasted so good Definitely not bad either.

Soon someone recognized the identities of Xie Mingyu and Shen Yanzhi, and knew that they were the shopkeepers of 'A Bowl of Mala Tang', and some frequent customers couldn't help asking loudly: "Thank you, shopkeeper, what did you do? What kind of unique food, why is it so fragrant?"

Xie Mingyu smiled when he heard the words, and said loudly: "This is called popcorn. Just now, the back kitchen of the restaurant made it. It is a snack for eating and playing in leisure time."

"Will this kind of snack be sold in the store in the future?" Someone asked loudly again.

"Today I just made it for my brother to eat and play. I don't plan to sell it in the store yet." Xie Mingyu said with a smile, and pulled Shen Yanzhi upstairs.

"Wait, shopkeeper Xie didn't invite me to have a taste together?" An extremely familiar voice sounded, Xie Mingyu heard the reputation and looked over, and it really was the young master who was with An Shizi that day.

Presumably he was here, and An Shizi was also here.

Sure enough, he yelled afterward: "An Haojue, come here quickly."

The noisy crowd fell silent immediately. The person who can directly call An Shizi's name is definitely not a simple person. There were still a few who wanted to open their mouths to ridicule, but they immediately covered their mouths, thankfully they did not have time to say it, otherwise the real disaster would come from their mouths Out.

"It's an honor, please, both young masters." Xie Mingyu said with a smile.

Shen Yanzhi had a good impression of the two sons who had helped Xie Mingyu, holding the bowl with one arm, and waving the other arm, he greeted with a smile: "There is half a bowl, just enough for the four of us."

Yi Hengqi walked up the stairs with a happy face, sniffed the rich creamy fragrance with an expression of enjoyment, and said impatiently: "That's just right, hurry up!"

An Haojue followed closely behind, looking at Yi Hengqi's greedy cat-like expression, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, showing doting.
