When they saw the finished product, everyone was happy.After learning the method, Yang Cheng didn't stay long, and started to do it himself when he hurried home.This time, Yang Ye used twenty catties of beans and burned more than three pots of soy milk, and the two of them had a hasty dinner and worked until midnight to make all the yuba.Ah Xi asked Yang Ye with the yuba sticks hanging on the bamboo poles: How and how to sell the yuba?
Yang Ye roughly calculated, a pound of soybeans on the market costs three dollars, and a pound of soybeans can only produce half a pound of yuba, which means that the yuba needs at least six yuan a pound to not lose money.But it is impossible to put six dollars a catty, this price is not profitable at all, the cost of labor is so large, not only the process of making soybeans into yuba is cumbersome, but it is not easy to plant soybeans.On the catty to sell it is not easy to do, he said to Ah Xi: We can make seven to eight yuba per catty, and one can be sold for two cents, which can make some money.Will it be too expensive?
Tofu is only five cents or two dollars.The price of tofu is because there are more people selling tofu, but only we have yuba, if the price is too low, everyone can buy it, and soon everyone will get tired of it.Ah Xi didn't seem to understand, Yang Ye looked at his confused look, stretched out his hand and flicked his forehead gently, where will the children understand the business things: It's not early, go to bed early, I met Xing Huai in the county today, he sent a rabbit, and I asked him to bring his aunt over for dinner tomorrow.So, did he say yes?
Of course I agreed, I'll be back early tomorrow afternoon to cook.Ah Xi's eyes narrowed, and he replied obediently: Okay.Yang Ye was really tired, and he fell asleep without even turning his body after returning to the room and getting into the bed, but Ah Xi couldn't fall asleep after blowing out the candle and closing his eyes.He lay on the inside of the small wooden bed with his hands and feet bent, it was already a little cold in the late autumn night, he was still covered with a summer quilt, he didn't feel cold in the past, and he didn't know if it was too late tonight or what, he always felt that his hands and feet were a little cold.Today, the words of the people in the village have been hanging in their hearts like a big stone, and he didn't dare to show much emotion in front of Yang Ye, so he only twisted his eyebrows when he returned to his hut and recovered a bitter gourd face.Yang Ye has treated him very well these days, and after a long time, he has almost forgotten that Yang Ye loves Mei Xiaozhi in his heart, and the words of the villagers undoubtedly sounded a wake-up call for him.He didn't want to leave Yang Ye, let alone marry someone else, after marrying into the Yang family, he flattered Yang Ye everywhere, from the beginning for his aunt, to later willingly, but in a hurry.He was kind to Yang Ye with his heart, and Yang Ye slowly took care of him everywhere from his previous few words, and he was so considerate that he couldn't tell whether Yang Ye had him in his heart, or he was a person who knew how to repay him.Occasionally when he couldn't sleep at night, he also wanted to ask Yang Ye what he thought, but he was afraid that there would be nothing left when he asked, so instead of this, it was better to pretend that he didn't know anything and live a day under his care.He was groggy and he didn't know what time he fell asleep.The next day, Yang Ye got up early, in the past, he got up and Ah Xi had already made breakfast, but now the house is quiet.He glanced at Ah Xi's room, the small wooden door was still closed, and the children rarely slept lazy, he couldn't bear to wake him up, so he went to the stove alone to cut off a piece of the pig fat he bought yesterday and boiled some oil juice, and chopped the pork that had been removed from the oil and made some cheeks with the dried pickles.Then knead the dough and boil the water, and after a stick of incense, two bowls of hot noodles are good.In order to make it more hearty, he also spread two soft-boiled eggs on the noodle bowl, which looked very appetizing.He brought the noodles to the table and buckled the young man's door: "Axi, it's time to come out for breakfast."
Yang Ye heard the people in the room turn over, followed by the sound of panicked dressing, and when he got out of bed, he laughed through the door, and he could imagine the panicked appearance of the young man who found that he had overslept.After a while, the door creaked open, Yang Ye was going to work, so he didn't wait for him to eat together, he swallowed the noodles, and when he looked up, he saw Ah Xi sleepy-eyed, his hair was messy, and he was standing under the doorrail at a loss, his tone was full of guilt: I, I didn't know how I slept.Yang Ye felt like he had been stung by a bee.It's okay, go wash your face and come over to eat noodles, otherwise it won't taste good later.Ah Xi hurriedly ran into the stove room, and when he came back, Yang Ye had almost finished eating, yesterday he was busy until the middle of the night, Yang Ye didn't have time to give the pastries to the children, he put the whole pastry on the table and pushed it to Ah Xi's hand.Ah Xi exclaimed in surprise: Give, give it to me?
Yang Ye said: You are the only child in the family, who else can you give it if you don't give it to you?
Ah Xi's fingers holding the chopsticks were involuntarily clenched, his eyes were a little hot, and then they became wet, he didn't dare to look at Yang Ye, stared straight at the pastry, and his heart was churning.Yang Ye didn't know that the boy had already tacitly bought Yipinxiang's pastries for Mei Xiaozhi, but now that it was suddenly in his hands, his emotions were a little difficult to control, Yang Ye heard the young man's voice a little choked, and his eyebrows tightened: What's the matter, don't you like it?
No, no, I just haven't eaten pastry in a long time.I wanted to make the children happy, but I didn't think about it but made people cry, Yang Ye felt that this morning was really enough, he hurriedly comforted people: If you think it's delicious, I'll buy it from you next time, don't cry.Don't, don't buy it in the future, pastries are very, very expensive.Even if it's expensive, it can't stand the children's liking, what's wrong with spending some money.Yang Ye coaxed Ah Yi for a while, guarded him to finish the noodles, and saw that the young man was in a better mood before leaving.He sighed, Ah Xi looks good when he laughs, it hurts when he cries, and the crying and laughter hold people's hearts, the child's mind is sensitive and fragile, and he can no longer say some cruel things like before.Chapter 17 The new restaurant on Changyu Street is officially opened.The business of Fengxianglou is very abnormal, in the past, there were more than a dozen tables of guests in the restaurant at noon, but now except for the three tables of people in the private room, the hall is empty, very clean, and you can hear the sound of firecrackers opening in the new shops on the street.Xiao Er sat in the threshold with a tablecloth and took a nap, and the people in the whole restaurant were idle.Yang Ye sat at the counter and flipped through the miscellaneous books of the morning, seeing that it was almost noon, he went to the thatched house, and when he came back, he passed by the back kitchen and saw that the cooks were killing fish.Pine nut fish is the signature dish of the restaurant, and the restaurant will buy dozens of fish as soon as it buys fish, and the chefs will concentrate on processing it when it is empty.Yang Ye saw that the fish were big, and the fish oil and fish intestines that he took out were very large, and he didn't want these small things in the restaurant, and he felt that it was troublesome to deal with, so he felt that it was a pity to lose it.Seeing that the cooks were fine, he said: The miscellaneous fish of this batch of fish are good, so let's eat them at noon.The cooks all like Yang Ye very much, and feel that he doesn't have the frame of a scholar, and he likes to talk to him when he has nothing to do on weekdays, and there are chefs who want to introduce girls to him.This fish bubble is not bad, but can you eat fish intestines and fish oil, I heard that it is bitter when cooked.Yang Ye said: It's not bitter, the taste is soft and glutinous, it's delicious, if the aunts don't bother, you can give it a try.The cooks are also happy: Cheng, it's good to find something to do, if the old man comes back and sees that we have nothing to do here, he should scold us for being lazy.After two quarters of an hour, the cooks shouted Yang Ye and said that the fish offal had been dealt with.Yang Ye asked another bookkeeper to look at the counter, and slipped away to the back kitchen, where there was a big pot of more than 30 fish offal.The cooks handle the vegetables and meat all year round, and the fish intestines are also rinsed very cleanly, and the chef also puts a little salt to marinate the fish offal.The restaurant provides lunch, eat meat once every three days, most of them are leftover vegetables and meat in the restaurant, everyone does not dislike, this kind of food has not been at home, many people squeeze their heads and want to go into the restaurant to do things for such a meal.I only made meat yesterday, and it stands to reason that I can't make meat, but I haven't asked for it in the fish miscellaneous restaurant before, and the cooks feel that this can only be waste utilization, not more meat, and Pang Zhanzhong is not in the restaurant today, so he shouldn't come to eat.The chef was bold enough to cook the fish offal in the way Yang Ye said, the material is the usual material for boiling meat slices, and the fish offal is fragrant after being put into the pot, and the cooks and cooks in the back kitchen all go around the pot, seeing that the fish intestines are shortened and white.Yang Ye pinched the time to let the cook scoop the fish intestines into the basin with tender vegetable leaves, poured the hot soup into the basin, the vegetable leaves were quickly scalded, and a few more coriander were added to the noodles, and at the end, he splashed some hot oil with dried chili peppers and peppercorns and poured it down from the coriander, poof, and the fragrance was completely stimulated.It's so fragrant too!
Everyone took a breath, subconsciously swallowed their saliva, and when they were all looking forward to today's lunch, the cook suddenly muttered: Who, don't squeeze!
The cooks around the stove looked suspiciously towards the place where the sound sounded, and saw Pang Zhanzhong, who was wide and fat, squeezing a fat body into it.Why did the old man come back?
The cook's eyes quickly moved his body to block the fish soup that had just come out of the pot.Pang Zhanzhong dragged the cook away, and cold sweat broke out on everyone's backs, just when they thought Pang Zhanzhong was going to be furious: It's really fragrant, bring it to the private room with me.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then they were stunned again, seeing that the fragrant fish offal soup was gone, can they not be angry.In the end, Yang Ye laughed: Master, this is everyone's lunch.The cooks and ladies nodded hurriedly: Yes, master.Pang Zhanzhong narrowed his eyes slightly: Didn't you just eat meat yesterday?
This is made of offal that you don't want.Pang Zhanzhong is not too stingy with the cooks to fry the vegetables and put oil and water, he fished it with chopsticks, it was really some fish offal, and he couldn't move his breath, and it was a loss of face to compete with the staff, but the fish offal looked really delicious, and he wanted to taste it, but he was in a dilemma for a while.Yang Ye smiled lightly: The old man has been busy all morning and hasn't eaten yet, so it's better to eat with everyone today.Pang Zhanzhong flicked his sleeves: It's okay, I haven't eaten with you for a while, so let's fry two more dishes today.Everyone cheered, and the cooks went to set the meal quickly.Thanks to the few customers in the restaurant, the employees were happy to eat a meal, and a large pot of fish offal soup was eaten clean, but the soup was finally poured into the rice by Xiao Er.Pang Zhanzhong himself is the owner of the restaurant, whether it is for entertainment or usually eating, he has eaten countless delicacies, never thought that the small fish intestines that are not usually food at all will be so fragrant and glutinous, a pot of fish offal is simply endless, he stretched out his chopsticks many times, he was full of sadness because of the new restaurant, but because of a meal of food minus melancholy.After the meal, Pang Zhanzhong talked to Yang Ye: I heard that you proposed to make the fish offal soup?
Be.The opening of the restaurant on the street has greatly affected the business of Fengxiang Restaurant, and I wondered that the restaurant should add some new dishes, so as to attract customers back with fresh tricks.Yang Ye said bluntly: The master wants to add this fish soup?
That's what I thought.This fish offal can not only be used to cook soup, but also to stir-fry, and it tastes good.Pang Zhanzhong was slightly stunned, he originally thought that this was someone's private dish, and he would sell it in a big restaurant, so he had to talk to someone about it, and buy it at a suitable price.You don't mind if I sell it in a restaurant?
Yang Ye didn't care much: What is this, it's not a novelty, everyone will be able to watch it twice more.You can also earn a favor for the restaurant.Pang Zhanzhong said: The dishes in the restaurant are like this, but at this juncture, you can only get more vegetables to sell fresh for customers to return, if the foundation of the new restaurant is stable, Fengxianglou's business is difficult to do.Today, I went to the meat market to have a look, and I was planning to get some game, but these hunters don't often come to sell, and it's all troublesome, so I was surprised to come back and eat fish offal soup.Yang Ye pondered for a moment: I know a hunter, if the restaurant wants to buy game, I will talk to him and see if I can send it directly to the restaurant.Pang Zhanzhong rejoiced: This feeling is good!
Then I'll have to introduce you!
In order to thank Da for providing fish offal soup and fried fish offal, Pang Zhanzhong insisted on sending a pig's hind leg to Yang Ye, which made him feel that he really didn't have to worry about eating the restaurant work.There was no one in the restaurant in the afternoon, Yang Ye left earlier than yesterday, he wrapped the pork leg tightly, and people couldn't see what it was in his hand, and then went to return the back basket borrowed yesterday.When passing by the street, the new restaurant is full of people outside, even the shopkeeper is outside the enthusiastic shouting, the hall is full of people, he paid attention to it, not only saw a few regular customers of Fengxianglou, but also found that Zhang Glaze was in charge of the accounts, at this time he was busy with his feet facing the sky, but he did not notice him.Back in the village, Xu Qiuhe had already come over, the aunt and nephew were folding vegetables under the tree, chatting with some homely things, Ah Xi was a little slow to speak, mostly Xu Qiuhe was talking.Xu Qiuhe came over before Xing Huai, yesterday I heard Xing Huai say that Yang Ye asked them to eat, she was worried about Ah Xi, and she came over early in the afternoon to do things at home, and saw Ah Xi's little face white, life should be good, and she was relieved.Even so, she still remembers the conversation between Yang Ye and Ah Xi on the day of marriage, when the person who greeted Xing Huai came that day, Ah Xi recognized his life, and Yang Ye laughed at his small temperament.It wasn't a big deal, but since Ah Xi was married to a scholar, it was inevitable that he would be taken out to meet people in the future, if Yang Ye felt that Ah Xi was shy and too childish, he would definitely not put him on the bright side.But in fact, Ah Xi's original temperament is not like this, when he first came to their house, although he stumbled to speak, but after getting acquainted, he also likes to talk and laugh, very likable, the reason why he has become silent, always standing with his head hanging like a gray sparrow is entirely because of her.It was she who taught Ah Xi to see men hiding their heads, like them, countrymen, whose faces are too good is not necessarily a good thing, if the family background is thin, the village women will gossip, will scold the fox spirit for being improper, and will also be treated frivolously by men.Two years ago, she took Ah Xi to the county to sell fans, Ah Xi rarely went to the county seat, that day she specially wore a new colored dress, the child was happy, she didn't do much to stop it, who expected that in the bazaar, a group of men surrounded their stall, and openly teased Ah Xi, the words were unbearable, and asked to touch Ah Xi's face before he was willing to buy a fan, and he wanted to buy Ah Xi to raise.Ah Xi was very frightened, if someone hadn't reported to the official, he really didn't know how to get out that day.After this incident, she stopped making bright clothes for Ah Xi, how to dress up inconspicuously, and often preached some words to stay away from men, she knew that it was a cruel thing to teach a beautiful little brother to hide himself, but at that time, the two of them were orphans and widows, and there was no man to support them, so they could only use this to protect themselves.After a few years, Ah Xi's temperament has become more and more silent, she talks less, thinks more, and her mind will become very sensitive, she touched the young man's soft hair distressedly, and said softly: Ah Xi, you are married now, you don't have to be the same as before, Yang Ye is a scholar, and he will like a generous little brother.Ah Xi's hand paused: How can a good aunt say this?
You're such a good age, my aunt just doesn't want you to live so cautiously and carefully.Ah Xi understood the meaning of his aunt's words, and he smiled faintly: But I think this is very good, I can, I can protect myself.Isn't it nothing for him to go to the county town to sell fans by himself now?
Xu Qiuhe opened her mouth and was about to say that protecting his wife should be a man's thing, when Yang Ye suddenly opened the door and entered the courtyard, and her words were swallowed back into her stomach.Chapter 18 Yang Ye made a live rabbit with green peppers for dinner, he knew that Ah Xi couldn't eat spicy, but it would be very fishy if the game was not heavy, so he took the pork leg he brought back to a large piece of meat, stewed the pig's leg in soup, and fried a green vegetable.
