And he led Yang Ye to see this shop, saying that it is not big or small, it is wonderful to be able to live behind the façade in seconds, with a small courtyard outside, this kind of shop is very sought-after for people who are not locals or who have a house in the county town.Ah Xi and Yang Ye went in and walked around, and it was no problem for three or four people to live in the room behind the façade, and they were very satisfied.Walking to the bottom of an osmanthus tree in the small courtyard, Ah Xi grabbed Yang Ye, and he whispered: Such a shop should be, should be very expensive.After Yang Ye had the idea of buying a shop, he also deliberately paid attention to the housing prices in various places in the county, such as Yun Street, a prosperous street, almost all of them start at a price of one hundred taels, and there is indeed a lack of silver, but since you want to do business, it is not easy to buy a shop that is too remote, and the shop in Yun Street is not easy to buy, if you are not familiar with Pang Zhanzhong, I am afraid you will not be able to inquire about the shop here.But the location is good and suitable in many ways.Ah Xi was silent for a while, and said: "That, that's done, let's save some in the future."
Huang Jin saw that the two of them were talking in a low voice, and after a while, he went over: What does Mr.
Yang think of this shop, but do you want to go to another house to take a look?
It's good here, I'm satisfied.Huang Jin nodded: I know that you will be satisfied, I also like this shop, but I have a place to live in the county, but I can't afford to buy such a shop.He lowered his voice, stretched out his thumb and index finger and made a gesture: The master said, if the gentleman likes this shop, he will give it to you at this price.I'm afraid this price can no longer be lowered, it all depends on the hand of human affection, and the lord is grateful to you in his heart.Yang Ye was also slightly surprised by this price, it was pressed below 100 taels, it was a pity not to buy it.Okay, since the old man likes it, I won't brush him off.Yang Ye took out forty taels of silver: pay half first.Huang Jin handed the key to Yang Ye: Yes, don't worry about the rest, the master said to give you a slow, you can trust your character.After the shop was set, everyone was happy, the matter was over, Huang Jin also rushed home, these days the family has to prepare things for the New Year, banquet relatives and friends, follow Pang Zhanzhong for many years, in the county is also a figure with a face, relatives and friends invite to eat more, it can be said that it is very busy.Huang Jin wanted to invite Yang Ye to his home as a guest, but he remembered that people still had to buy New Year's goods, everyone was busy, and the days ahead were still long, so there was no need to invite people to be guests before a certain year, and it was a good time to visit relatives and friends after the year, so they congratulated the festival, and the two parties dispersed.Yang Ye stretched out his hand to lead Ah Xi, and the young man hid: There are so many people on the street.It's just that there are many people who hold you, what if you get lost.Ah Xi said: I, I'm not a child.Yang Ye chuckled: You are not a child, who is a child.There are vegetables and meat at home, but there is not much to buy, at this time there are already firecrackers in the New Year, in order to the atmosphere of the New Year, Yang Ye also went to buy a circle of firecrackers, buy good New Year's goods, and the two went back.After the New Year's dinner is eaten, it is the New Year's Month, and the quiet village is also very lively on weekdays, everyone walks to visit relatives, Yang Ye and Ah Xi did not go out, and Xu Qiuhe came to eat during the New Year's dinner, and he saved that trip.It's also very cold in winter, so I don't have to go out.Ah Xi burned a charcoal fire in the stove room and brought it to the room, and Yang Ye put down the book and roasted the fire.Huang and Huang asked Ah Ye to be a guest at home, and they have to send things for the New Year, what should we send and send?
In fact, not only Huang Jin, but even Pang Zhanzhong also looked down on Yang Ye and asked him to go to the mansion in the county seat to get together.In this case, let's fill some sausages and make some pastries to give.There are still two pieces of pork left before that have not been smoked, fat and thin, the big brother of the pig's small intestine they didn't want, they also took it, the materials are complete, just do it, he asked Ah Xi to prepare some peppercorns, and cut a bamboo tube, clean the small intestine by himself, and cut the meat into pieces.Two pieces of meat have to be more than five catties, cut a full pot, add seasonings from it, salt, sugar, chili, pepper, white wine and mix well, with the meat after the good material just smells very fragrant raw.Two people have a bamboo tube, put it on the washed casing, pour the meat into it through the bamboo tube, and after filling it to a certain length, it is pressed tightly and tied with a small rope, and five catties of meat are poured with more than five meters of sausage.A long string of sausages was coiled in the basin, and it was very pleasing to look at, Yang Ye broke a thorn from the pepper tree, and pricked the sausage next to it to exhaust it, so that the sausage was ready.Ah Xi looked very happy, there are very few sausages sold on the market, and meat is not often eaten by people, who is willing to spend money to buy these rare things, even if it is a gift for a decent person.Yang Ye found the rack of bacon in the yard, and the two of them took the sausage together to smoke.Taking advantage of the sausage smoking, Yang Ye went to take two catties of dried red dates in the jujube harvest season and asked Ah Xi to remove the core.Before thinking about buying a shop, he thought about what kind of business to do.Thinking about it, Ah Xi likes to eat sweets, and after going to Yipinxiang twice, he felt that the business was very good, so he made up his mind to make pastries.Earlier, he dug a lot of cassava in the mountains, grinded it into pieces on the mill, washed it and filtered it to precipitate the powder, and the winter sun was good, and it was dried and roasted, and now it is finally dry.He crushed the tapioca flour that had congealed into a piece, and boiled it with brown sugar and water until the dates were soft and rotten.The boiled jujube is wrapped in gauze and filtered out of the jujube water, the tapioca flour and wheat starch are sieved again, and the batter is stirred evenly after adding the jujube water that has been cooled in the morning, and then the batter is sifted again.Brush a layer of oil in the steamer, preheat it over high heat, pour in the first layer of slurry, steam it for a quarter of an hour, and wait for the slurry to condense and the color is transparent before continuing to pour the slurry.After steaming, let it cool and cut into pieces, such a simple jujube-flavored mille-feuille cake is ready.The taste is sweet and glutinous, and it is much more delicious than the osmanthus powder cake that you put in and paste into it.After the mille-feuille cake is done, the jujube paste is still there, he simply beats the eggs in the jujube paste, adds white sugar and brown sugar and stirs it into a sticky paste, and then sifts in the tapioca flour, and then adds a certain amount of oil after stirring, and puts it in the pot to steam.A jujube is used for multiple purposes, but it is not wasted.Later the sausages were smoked and both pastries were ready.When Yang Ye hung the sausages on the stove, Ah Xi gathered around the stove to eat pastries, and even his eyes narrowed as he ate.I used to buy less pastries, not to mention the two bites, and I had to feel sorry for the money, and I felt that the bite was not a bite of the pastry, but a swallow of silver in the stomach, but now I am full of pastries.Tapioca flour has not been used in this era, two pots of pastries sit down, except for sugar and oil, the rest are home-owned, eggs, tapioca flour, red dates, do not cost money, naturally save a lot.The key is that the jujube cake is delicate and fragrant, the mille-feuille cake is soft and glutinous, and the taste is better than that in the pastry shop in the county.After Yang Ye packed up the sausages, he accompanied Ah Xi to eat some, the children love sweets, like pastries, and usually want to buy him more, but people always block it, he knows that Ah Xi feels that it is not easy for him to make money, and he is reluctant to buy such luxurious snacks, so let him take care of it now.Our new shop sells pastries, is it?
Yang Ye reached out and wiped the crumbs from the corner of Ah Xi's mouth, and asked gently.Ah Xi licked the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were shining: Well, if you sell these pastries, one, they will definitely sell very well.Then he said: Then, I will go to the mountains to dig up more cassava and come back, make cassava flour, and let my sister-in-law stop selling the eggs she saved and keep them to make pastries.Okay, when the weather is better, we'll dig cassava, no rush now.Yang Ye sent some pastries to Yang Cheng and Xing Huai, and the feedback from the countrymen who rarely eat these precious food is extremely good, Yang Cheng heard that he will do a pastry business in the future, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, now there are shops and crafts, so he can be said to be waiting for the money to go into his pocket.According to the previous yuba business, Yang Ye handed over the method of making pastries to the two people, and after the new pastries were made, Yang Ye wrapped four pastries with the oil paper left over from selling yuba before, two portions of mille-feuille cake, two bad copies, a total of one or two catties, and cut a few sausages together.The author has something to say: The content of the imperial examination is in the back, and the text is relatively slow to heat, thank you for voting for me during 2020-05-0117:59:33~2020-05-0213:39:07 The little angel who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution~ Thank you to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: it was 20 bottles of Ling sauce; zones, DCM5201 bottles; Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Chapter 27 I have to go to Huang Jin's house for lunch today, and I will go to Pang Zhanzhong's house for dinner, and I am quite busy for a day, after the gifts are prepared, Yang Ye saw that Ah Xi was still in the yard, and he didn't even change his clothes.Why haven't you cleaned it up yet?
Don't change your clothes.Ah Xi's eyes widened slightly, he put down the work in his hand, obviously surprised: Do you want me to go with you?
Naturally, we went together.How can there be a person who goes to the door in the New Year, isn't it lively to bring the big and small ones in the family together?
Ah Xi twisted the corners of his clothes, the party of the big man in the county must be everyone, and he followed Yang Ye to worry about losing his face.I—I don't really want to go.Yang Ye took the young man's hand, saw his scruples, and said softly: Steward Huang has seen you, and often praises you, Master Pang has long said that he wants to see you, even if you don't want to see them, but I can't take so many gifts.If you don't go, others will see me young, and when I haven't married yet, the people in the county are very idle, and I especially love to say goodbye to people.He rubbed Ah Xi's head and asked, "You really don't want to go?"
Ah Xi frowned slightly: I, I'll give you a gift.Yang Ye looked at the figure running into the house and laughed.The houses in the county town are generally not as big as the countryside, except for the illustrious people, many of them are ordinary small houses, and the New Year's banquet for relatives and friends can not be opened only in the lower restaurant.Huang Jin's parents' generation came to the city from the village, and two generations struggled, and when Huang Jin's generation finally bought a small house with small assets, the yard at home was large, and it could put seven or eight tables of people.When Yang Ye and his family arrived, there were already many guests in the courtyard.Everyone was eating tea and chatting, the house was very lively, Yang Ye also saw a few familiar ones, including the shopkeeper of Buzhuang, and the two said hello.Huang Jinle greeted him, followed by his wife, and a little brother with a lot of aura, Yang Ye had heard from the staff in the restaurant that there was a little brother in Steward Huang's family who was very well-behaved, and now he was able to see it.Mr.
Yang, Yang Fulang is going to the house to do it, drink some tea, and eat in a while.Yang Ye gave Huang Jin the things he brought: he didn't bring anything, a little local products and pastries.Look, the gentleman is so polite.Mrs.
Huang was holding the pastry, and it happened to be dangling in front of the little brother's nose, and the little brother's nose was inciting, blinking his eyes and asking: Mother, what is this, it is so fragrant.You kid, you're really gluttonous!
Yang Ye said with a smile: There is some food left and right, so let the child eat it if he likes it.The group went into the house, Mrs.
Huang took the children and gifts to the room, there are many people who send things during the New Year's Festival, cloth and satin, eggs and meat, and occasionally two of them send valuable things, nothing more than those, there is only one who sends pastries.Mrs.
Huang opened the oil paper wrapped in the pastry, which was the one wrapped in the mille-feuille cake, and as soon as the oil paper was opened, a sweet fragrance wafted out: Ah, what kind of pastry is this so exquisite.There is a little brother in the family, and the two of them are very spoiled, and Mrs.
Huang often takes her children to the pastry shop.Mother, I want to eat cakes.Ok, good, good!
Mrs.
Huang twisted a piece for the child, and the little brother couldn't wait to eat it, and after eating a piece, he shouted that he wanted it, and he refused to give up after eating three pieces in a row.Mrs.
Huang looked at the sweetness of the child's food, and she couldn't help but twist half of it to taste, the taste in the entrance is not as sweet and greasy as ordinary pastries, it is very refreshing, and there is a hint of jujube flavor, it is really delicious.After Huang Jin entertained Yang Ye, he saw that his wife and children were eating in the house, coughed and walked in with his hands behind his back: Look what you say, there are so many guests outside!
Mrs.
Huang picked up the mille-feuille cake and stuffed it into Huang's mouth: Taste it, the pastry given by Mr.
Yang is really good.Huang Jin's stiff face suddenly unfolded, and his eyes lit up: It's really good.Then he laughed again, and felt that everything seemed reasonable: Mr.
Yang was a strange person.Mrs.
Huang was very happy, put the rest of the pastry away, and the other package of unopened jujube cake also became a mille-feuille cake by default, and put it in one place alone.Yang Ye was afraid that Ah Xi was cold, so he didn't go around the yard, just sat idle in the hall, there was not only tea on the table, but also melon seeds and peanuts for people to hang out, Yang Ye was not very interested in these things, but when he saw Ah Xi peeling, he also grabbed a handful of melon seeds.Huang Jin's guests have four or five tables, except for the occasional restaurant to eat, many Yang Ye have never seen it, and they naturally have never seen Yang Ye, Ah Xi looks eye-catching, which has aroused a lot of attention, and many people get together to guess who Yang Ye is.However, the boss of Buzhuang recognized most of the people present, and when he saw that everyone was talking about Yang Ye, he leaned up and said: It is Mr.
Fengxianglou's bookkeeper, and he is very favored by Master Pang.The people who do business have heard about it, and they see that Huang Jin is very enthusiastic about him, so the rumors must be true, and the people with bright eyes and happy hearts have already given birth to the intention of making friends.Yang Ye saw that someone suddenly came forward to greet him, he had a smile on his face, and while putting the peeled melon seeds in his hand into Ah Xi's palm, he chatted with the people who came forward.After a meal, Yang Ye felt that his mouth had never stopped, and a group of big men were either talking about business and pulling resources, or bragging and boasting.Ah Xi sat next to Yang Ye and saw that he was flawless, so he took the dish and secretly put it into Yang Ye's bowl while the people at the table were talking.After the meal, although Yang Ye didn't eat a few bites of food, he recognized all the people at the table, including the manager of the tea shop and the owner of the tavern........
They are all small portals, and they can be customers in the future, and they will not be bad at making some friends.The meal was not in vain.In the afternoon, Yang Ye went to Pang Zhanzhong again, the Pang family is a standard mansion, there are gardens and pavilions in it, and the guests are all dressed in gorgeous clothes, Yang Ye and Ah Xi seem to be a little plain, except for Pang Zhanzhong, no one came forward to greet them.With the comparison at the Huang family at noon, the time gap can be seen.Although he came with Huang Jin, after all, Huang Jin has been working under Pang Zhanzhong for a long time, many big men know each other, and there are many people who go to say hello, and soon there will be only the two of them left, Yang Ye doesn't care about the eyes of those masters, the richer he is, the more snobbish he is, he is now a person with no money, no power, and no fame, and it is common for no one to look down on him.The housekeeper of the Pang family didn't know that Yang Ye was specially invited by Pang Zhanzhong, seeing that the person who came sent few things and the packaging was simple, his smiling face stiffened for a moment, thinking that Huang Jin had introduced him to a poor scholar who wanted to cling to the Pang family.People are warm and cold, Yang Ye, a man who has lived for decades, will not understand, and there is no superfluous feeling in his heart, but he feels that he has said so many things at noon, and now he is happy.Ah Xi saw that he hadn't spoken, and sat in a remote place, thinking that Yang Ye was stimulated by the housekeeper's style, he stretched out his warm hand and shook Yang Ye's cold fingertips, and whispered: It's a little cold at night, I, let's go back early, okay?"
Yang Ye gathered Ah Xi's clothes: Okay.Dinner was early, and the two of them ate some hastily and said goodbye to Pang Zhanzhong, Pang Zhanzhong intended to stay at home for the night, but Yang Ye refused, and Pang Zhanzhong was really busy and did not force him to stay.
