Next, I began to work on rice planting and seedling raising.
Xiao Yao is with the farmers every day, and although she does not work by herself, she has been guiding the farmers with the methods she reads from books at night.
By the beginning of May, the seedlings have been out and the growth is gratifying, the two farmers who are ready to plant rice, knowing that the early June transplanting seedlings, feel that it is too late to harvest the wheat and then change the land to paddy fields, so they did not destroy the wheat field, while raising seedlings, while taking time to work in the wheat field, the hard work is hard, but can be harvested twice a year, the heart is still happy.
Tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, peppers, zucchini, cowpeas have all borne fruit, and the vegetable farmers are smiling when they look at the strange fruits growing in their fields.
I was more energetic in the fields every day.
Those tenants who planted wheat often gathered at the side of the vegetable field when they had nothing to do, and they looked strange and discussed.
Except for cowpea, which is a dish of this era that they are all familiar with, I don't know how to eat these other strange dishes, whether they are delicious or not, of course, they are also secretly weighing in their hearts, how much money can they make when these dishes are sold?
Is it coverable?
Xiao Yao had already told Steward Liu to let the five Zhuang Ding patrol the vegetable field every day, first, for fear of being red in the eyes of people and causing sabotage.
Second, vegetable farmers are strictly prohibited from picking vegetables without permission.
It's not that Xiao Yao is stingy, she is reluctant to let the tenants taste it, the main thing is to set a rule for the tenants, and she is going to take the high-end route in the first year of these dishes, mainly selling them to the princes and nobles.
Seeing that the vegetables were about to enter the ripe picking period, Xiao Yao began to think about the sale of vegetables.
She took Steward Liu and a few Zhuang Ding to the vegetable field to pick some of the precocious ones in each dish, and demonstrated the picking method to the vegetable farmers while picking, and picked a large basket before going back satisfied.
Let Steward Liu weigh the amount of each vegetable with a scale and record it in the account book.
I built the account of the vegetable plot by the way.
Taking advantage of the time when Zhuang Ding carried the vegetables to his yard, Xiao Yao said to Steward Liu that he would personally cook a few dishes today, and invite their family and five Zhuang Ding to his courtyard to taste new dishes in the evening.
Steward Liu happily agreed, and he also wanted to know what these strange vegetables tasted like.
Xiao Yao asked Xiaocui to help her make a fire, took out some of each dish to wash, and asked Xiaocui to give Sister-in-law Liu money to buy a chicken, two catties of meat and a few other matching dishes.
After mixing all the cold dishes and cutting the hot dishes, Xiao Cui's steamed two large pots of steamed buns were also ready, Xiao Yao asked Xiao Cui to set up the table in the hall, put the four large plates of cold dishes full of chopsticks, and then asked Sister-in-law Liu to call for people.
Xiao Yao himself began to pour oil in the iron pot, preparing to fry eggplant slices and fry shredded pork.
After a while, Steward Liu, his son and five Zhuang Ding came to wash their hands, and their expressions were very restrained.
Xiao Yao and Xiaocui were busy in the kitchen, and Sister-in-law Liu was also helping in the kitchen.
Xiao Yao asked Liu's sister-in-law to send a message to Steward Liu, she didn't have time to accompany them to eat, let him greet them and eat quickly, you must eat well and be full.
Steward Liu beckoned everyone to sit down and open the table, and the six strong men and a half-sized man saw that there were only four dishes on the table, and they didn't dare to let go of eating.
Xiaocui saw it in the kitchen window and said to Sister-in-law Liu: "Sister-in-law Liu, go and tell them that there are still a lot of dishes in the back, let them go and eat, but you must remember which dish is the best, and my young master will ask them after eating." ” With the help of Xiao Cui, Xiao Yao fried the carefully prepared hot dishes one by one, leaving some of each for herself and Xiao Cui's sister-in-law Liu, and letting Sister-in-law Liu send the rest to the table one by one.
Xiao Yao was very happy in her heart, and her subordinates were more vigorous.
Xiao Yao prepared a total of four cold dishes: cold cucumbers, steamed eggplant with garlic, tomatoes with sugar, and shredded zucchini.
Eight hot dishes with scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fish-flavored eggplant, braised eggplant, shredded pork with chili peppers, diced chicken with spicy chili, zucchini slices with vinegar, fried eggplant with tomatoes and peppers, scrambled eggs with cucumbers, fried zucchini with tomatoes and a tomato egg drop soup.
The amount of each dish is very large, because I am afraid that they have not eaten chili peppers and may not be able to accept it, Xiao Yao does not put too many spicy seeds in every dish with spicy seeds.
These dishes are the most ordinary home-cooked dishes in the previous life, Xiao Yao made them one by one according to her mother's cooking method at home, she really can't think of any other dishes that are paired with the above five dishes, in fact, she can still think of a lot of dishes that can be fried with chili peppers, but unfortunately the special taste of chili peppers is not acceptable to people at once, she can only try to let them taste it.
This is also the first time she has fried so many dishes independently, and in her previous life, she basically saw more and did less, so she asked everyone to taste the taste of their own stir-fried dishes, so as to further improve them in order to launch them to the market.
What made Xiao Yao happy was that in addition to the spicy chicken and a few slices of green peppers left on the plate of the spicy chicken, it was really like what Sister-in-law Liu said, all the dishes, even the soup, were eaten cleanly.
Xiao Yao couldn't take a break, and when she got out of the kitchen, she asked a few diners, how does it taste salty?
Which dish is delicious?
Which dish is not tasty?
Is the spicy taste of chili peppers acceptable?
Wait a minute.
Several people who were full of food and drink unanimously said that the four cold dishes were refreshing and delicious, and in the hot dishes, except for one person who said that the dishes with chili peppers were delicious, everyone else said that except for the spicy dishes, which were a little strange, the others were delicious, and they were all delicious.
Xiao Yao knew that there might be moisture in what they said, but in general, it should still be okay.
Tell them not to tell anyone about the taste of the new dish.
After sending them away, Xiao Yao and Xiaocui Liu's sister-in-law reheated the dishes and sat together for dinner, Xiao Yao felt that the taste of her fried dishes was similar to that of her mother's fried, but it was a little light.
Xiao Cui and Sister-in-law Liu almost ate a dish and praised it, Xiao Cui said happily: "Miss, I didn't expect that the seeds you brought could grow such a delicious dish, and we will definitely be popular when we sell them to the restaurant." ” Xiao Yao smiled and said, "Tomorrow, let's go to the capital and sell our dishes." ” That night, Xiao Yao wrote dozens of copies of the recipe for each dish, asked Xiaocui to pack a few changes of clothes, bring toiletries, prepare money, and tell her that she might have to live in the capital for a few days.
Xiao Cui happily got busy.
Early the next morning, Xiao Yao called Steward Liu to explain the affairs of Zhuangzi to him, and told him that he and Xiaocui were going to the capital to let the people in the capital know about the new dishes and find a market.
May have to stay for a few days.

Let him send someone to catch his car.
After breakfast, Xiao Yao took Xiaocui and most of the leftover dishes picked yesterday and set off. ==================================================== Boss Sun of the Immortal Pavilion is now a man with a head and a face in the capital.
Since last winter, his restaurant has sold hot pot exclusively, attracting many housekeepers from powerful families in the capital to buy pots and ingredients in his restaurant.
Make his Immortal Pavilion famous!
Boss Sun is a person with discernment and price, and he took the opportunity to make friends with a lot of big housekeepers and purchasers.
Even the procurement eunuchs of the palace came to his shop to buy materials.
So he also became famous.
One winter, he not only made a lot of money, but also earned a large number of contacts, especially what made him proud was that one day in early April, the noble thirteen princes also brought a small servant to his restaurant for a meal, so that he could blow to the guests of the restaurant for several days.
Now the business of the restaurant is much better than the same period before, but in May, the weather is getting hotter day by day, and there are fewer and fewer people coming to the restaurant to eat.
These days, he misses the black-faced Xiao Gongzi very much, and regrets not leaving the address of the child, the black-faced Gongzi is the God of Wealth and his lucky star in his eyes.
At more than two o'clock in the afternoon, it was the coldest time of the day in the restaurant, the little two had nothing to do, hid in the shade and took a nap, and the bookkeeper also sat at the counter and yawned.
Boss Sun was so noisy by his half-year-old son in the backyard that he couldn't sleep, and walked to the front restaurant irritably, and saw that there was no one running in the lobby, and the tent room was also asleep on the counter.
Get out of here!
Do you want to do it anymore?
” The little two were so frightened that they ran out, Boss Sun raised his face and was about to reprimand them, when he heard the sound of the carriage outside the door, and after glaring at them fiercely, he quickly changed his smiling face and turned his head to look out.
I've been looking for you for the past two days!
Hurry up and please. ” Xiao Yao smiled and arched his hand to Boss Sun and said, "Boss Sun, where should my carriage stop?"
I brought something with me in the car.
Boss Sun hurriedly asked Xiao Er to take the carriage into the backyard from the side door, and led Xiao Yao's master and servant into the front hall, and asked Xiao Er to make tea and pour water one after another, while taking Xiao Yao to a private room to sit down.
Xiao Yao was not polite, and said his intention straight to the point: he wanted him to help him invite some people to taste the dishes in the restaurant.
Boss Sun was overjoyed when he heard this, and it seemed that his opportunity to make a fortune had come again.
Xiao Yao told him without concealing that these dishes were unique to her, but this time she couldn't exclusively supply him to a restaurant, because his family couldn't use up so many dishes, she could give him exclusive recipes, or she could give him a little price, and she wanted to sell these dishes to dignitaries and nobles in the capital, because the prices of her dishes were not cheap.
Boss Sun was a little disappointed when he heard this, but when he thought that he couldn't do the business of being an official, he could do the business of the businessmen and wealthy families in the capital, and this alone was enough for him to earn. immediately smiled and said, "Xiao Gongzi always takes care of my business like this, I really don't know how to repay you!"
” Xiao Yao smiled and said: "Boss Sun doesn't have to be like this, we are actually mutually beneficial, if it wasn't for Boss Sun's unique vision, how could there be today's win-win situation?"
” The two looked at each other and laughed.
Xiao Yao asked Liu Laosan, who was driving the car, to bring the vegetable basket, uncover the wet grass and linen cloth that were covered to keep it fresh, and said to Boss Sun: "These are the new dishes grown in my own farm, I want to use these dishes to teach your chef to make a table of dishes, and invite the princes and nobles to buy or steward to taste it, if you think it is delicious, you can order it, if it is not appetizing, I will only come for nothing, and all the expenses will be paid by me." ” Boss Sun blushed and said to Xiao Yao, "What did Xiao Gongzi say?"
Sun can still afford this meal, don't say anything else, just say what to do. ” Xiao Yao was no longer polite, and discussed with Boss Sun about the time of the treat, who to invite, for what reason, and so on.
After the discussion, Boss Sun personally went to write the invitation and sent people to each house to post it.
Xiao Yao took Xiao Cui to the back kitchen to instruct the chefs on how to prepare new dishes, from washing vegetables, cutting vegetables to side dishes, and what seasonings to put in, Xiao Yao only said once for each dish, and those masters who were used to cooking learned it as soon as they heard it.
It is no wonder that the diners in the restaurant are about to run out in the evening, and the housekeepers who are invited to buy are late, which is no wonder, as the saying goes: the seven officials in front of the prime minister, these housekeepers are also considered to be people with status, and it is not surprising that they will come late to put up a shelf.
However, they all gave Boss Sun face, and all the twelve people invited came.
Xiao Yao saw that everyone was coming, so he asked the masters to start cooking.
Boss Sun beckoned in front and took one of each dish for them to see, and more than a dozen people opened their eyes wide, looking at the red and bright tomatoes, light green zucchini, dark green cucumbers, purple and black eggplants and slender green peppers.
You look at me, I see that you have never seen anyone, and I can't help but be very interested, I don't care about the shelves, and I am vying to ask what are the names of these dishes?
Where did you get it?
How to eat?
According to Xiao Yao's words, Boss Sun told them the name of the dish one by one, and the place of origin: Western Regions.
(It is said that it was shipped from a distant Hu people's residence) This is Xiao Yao's temporary thought yesterday, she thinks it is better not to mention her farm, for fear of attracting attention, anyway, these dishes were historically transmitted from abroad from the Western Regions, let's just say that the Western Regions are the production area.
As for how to eat it, Boss Sun deliberately sold it and asked them if they wanted to try it?
More than a dozen people said in unison: "Yes!
” Boss Sun clapped his hands and shouted to the back kitchen: "It's served!"
” The two little two came out in response and brought out four cold dishes.
Boss Sun beckoned everyone to hurry up and taste, and he also sat down to eat together, and he also ate it for the first time, because Xiao Yao said that the vegetables had not yet reached maturity, and only picked this point, and it was for the buyers to eat, and they couldn't just ask him to taste it.
Xiao Yao made four cold, eight hot and one soup in the farm, let the master master do all the same, Xiao Er brought them out one by one, and more than a dozen people praised after eating, (Lan Yan explained: These dishes are very ordinary in modern times, and you may think that there is nothing delicious, but in ancient times when vegetables were very poor, for people who have never eaten them, it is tantamount to a delicacy.)
Every dish was eaten cleanly, and even the chili peppers were eaten, which made Xiao Yao very surprised, and quietly asked Xiao Er, Xiao Er said that others thought that the chili pepper tasted spicy, and only the six old princes' family liked the spicy taste, and they ate chili peppers while inhaling their noses, and couldn't help but laugh after speaking.

Xiao Yao also smiled in her heart when she heard this, it seems that there are still people who naturally like to eat spicy food.
After the meal, Boss Sun called Xiao Yao out to meet with these buyers, and as expected, the buyers placed orders with Xiao Yao one after another, all thinking of using this dish that the owner had never seen before to please the master.
Although Xiao Yao's asking price is very high, tomatoes and eggplants are fifty wen a catty, zucchini, cucumbers are forty wen a catty, and chili peppers are thirty-five wen a catty, the reason why the pepper is set at the lowest is because the spicy taste still has to have an adaptation process in this era, and it is necessary to try to let as many people try to accept the spicy taste.
Xiao Yao took the order, and was very happy, so Xiao Cui asked Xiao Cui to send two recipes of four cold, eight hot and one soup to each buyer, and told them that these dishes can be combined with other dishes at will, and tomatoes and cucumbers can be eaten raw as fruits, which taste very good.
In order to express his gratitude to Boss Sun, Xiao Yao especially told Boss Sun that as long as it is the dish that the restaurant wants, one is to give priority to supply, and the other is to reduce the price of each dish by five wen per catty, Boss Sun is so happy that he can't close his mouth, he also tasted the dish today, knowing that once the restaurant pushes out the new dishes, it will definitely attract many diners, and he will definitely not make less money!
That night, Xiao Yao couldn't stand Boss Sun's repeated sincere efforts, and did not take Xiaocui and Liu Laosan to the guest house, but lived in the guest room specially prepared for them by Boss Sun in the backyard.
The next day, when Xiao Yao was having breakfast, he officially asked Boss Sun to help him find a tooth and find a shop for himself on the street as soon as possible, saying that he would open a shop to sell vegetables.
After breakfast, Xiao Yao got in the car and left, she originally thought that it would take a few days to find a market, but she didn't expect it to be so smooth.
She had to hurry back and arrange the first order in five days.
