Chapter 112: Good Prospects
Liu Zhiyuan followed the instructions and took a piece of fish belly meat into his mouth. His expression immediately changed. He did not stop using his chopsticks, but after eating three pieces of fish meat in a row, he lightly wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and praised: "This fish
Although it is also fried, it is different from the Meilu Drunken Goldfish in that it is not fried thoroughly. The skin is fried crispy, but the inside is extremely tender. When you eat it with the thick soup in the cup, it tastes delicious.
It's sweet and very delicious."
Liu Zhiyuan put down his chopsticks and said with emotion: "The fish I ate today is beyond what I thought. Looking at the whole country, there will be no such fish. Er Niang, you are like the treasure that contains countless wealth. I
Every time I dig, there will be different surprises. I don't know how deep the treasure is buried and how much is buried."
After drinking several cups of extremely fragrant plum wine, Chen Bing seemed to have lost her usual reserve. She was a little tipsy and said proudly: "Hehe, I don't know if you are praising me or ridiculing me.
, If you praise me, I will accept it without mercy. If you ridicule me, it doesn't matter. I will teach you in the future that what I show now is only one-tenth of what I have learned in my mind, hehe.
"
Liu Zhiyuan became excited after hearing this and said with great interest, "Oh? What else can Er Niang want? Now there are only you and me in this room, so you might as well talk and listen."
A crisp sound of "pop" suddenly came from the window. Liu Zhiyuan felt impatient. After checking in front of the window with a frown, he saw a yellow cat looking back at him, baring its teeth at him "Ha, ha."
Yelling, Liu Zhiyuan shook his head helplessly and said: "The empty vase outside the window was knocked over by a wild cat. It doesn't matter. I'll just call someone to clean it up."
But this crisp sound completely dispelled Chen Bing's slight drunkenness. She suddenly woke up, knowing that what she just said was a bit out of control, and thought to herself: "Drinking is indeed a mistake. If I had drunk some in a daze,
I’ve said everything I shouldn’t have said, so what should I do? Fortunately, that cat showed up, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to get off the stage. Humph! You must never touch wine again.”
After Liu Zhiyuan sat back down again, he said: "It frightened Er Niang. I have sent a servant to clean up the place. Now, back to what I just said, Er Niang can show me what she has learned in her mind."
Take a look so I can have a quick look."
Chen Bing smiled slyly and said in a serious manner: "Ahem, you have to listen carefully. I know a lot of things. For example, marching and fighting, arranging troops, are just a matter of course to me.
It's as easy as flipping a finger. Also, swallowing sand to make elixirs and melting gold to make medicines are also what I'm good at. Even farmland water conservancy and water storage polders are things I'm very familiar with. As for cooking and medical skills, they're just that.
It's just a trivial thing." After saying that, Chen Bing approached Liu Zhiyuan and whispered in a very mysterious voice: "To tell you the truth, I can also refine this immortality elixir."
Liu Zhiyuan laughed out loud. He was so amused by Chen Bing's words that he laughed and said: "If this is true, you can't stay in Huahu Village anymore. You have to set off immediately. You and I can find a place deep in the mountains."
Living in seclusion is the right way!"
Chen Bingxiao asked why, Liu Zhiyuan felt happy and joked: "With these skills of yours, I can't find anyone else in the whole country. With your ability, how can the current officials let you stay among the people?"
I want to send someone to find you back to the palace to cultivate the elixir of immortality for him. Once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, so it is better not to go to this palace, so you and I have to find a secluded place to live in seclusion."
Chen Bing's eyes flashed slightly, he rested his elbows on the table, held his chin in his hands, his lips were slightly curved like a crescent moon, and said with a light smile: "I just want to live in seclusion, why should I be with you? Is that difficult? Do you want to know where I live in seclusion so you can secretly tell the officials to take me back?"
Liu Zhiyuan laughed dryly and said: "Haha, how could I have such a bad idea? I live in seclusion with you to protect you. Although my martial arts cannot be invincible in the world, there are people who can defeat me in this great Chu. You are very few, so no matter what, as long as I am by your side, I will be able to drive away all those monsters and monsters."
Chen Bing smiled and said generously: "Well, if that's the case, then I really want your help with something."
Liu Zhiyuan thought, could it be that someone recently took the opportunity to get close to Er Niang, which made her very angry, so she wanted to use my hand to drive them away? With this in his mind, his heart moved slightly, extremely Sincerely
Said: "It's okay, Er Niang, no matter what kind of bees or butterflies they are, I will drive them away for you!"
Chen Bing was startled and a little angry, thinking: "You big devil, what are you thinking about? This is both a bee and a butterfly. You can't think of me as a wild person who attracts bees and butterflies!" "According to Chen Bing's temperament, she would definitely sneer at Liu Zhiyuan, but for some reason, she thought of Liu Zhiyuan's sincere and sincere look when he spoke just now. At this time, her mood became very peaceful, and her heart became even more peaceful. There was a faint feeling of heartbeat, and the scale in his heart tilted slightly towards Liu Zhiyuan again, but even Chen Bing himself was not aware of these thoughts...
Chen Bing ate a green plum, nodded and said: "Well, the fish you eat today, except for the fish soup, all use my newly made soy sauce. The key to making these two dishes delicious is This is soy sauce. Zhixing, if you think this soy sauce has a promising future, can you arrange to try it out in your Dexian Building first? If it can be recognized by the diners, you and I can open up the market. What do you think?"
Liu Zhiyuan secretly felt ashamed, thinking that it was this matter that Er Niang asked me to help with. Seeing Chen Bing's solemn words, he calmed down and said seriously: "In our territory of Dachu, this kind of soy sauce has definitely never happened before. , Chef Wang and I are certain of this. Indeed, as Er Niang said just now, this soy sauce has many uses. When I was eating fish, I was already thinking that in addition to fish, it can also be used to make tofu and You can put some basil and even boiled radish, and soy sauce can also be used in other meats, such as mutton, bird, venison, and pork."
Chen Bing nodded and said: "Yes, this thing has the effect of improving freshness, so it can be used not only for the dishes you mentioned, but also in the future there is no need to cook chicken soup or fish soup to improve freshness, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but It’s not necessarily as effective as soy sauce.”
Liu Zhiyuan said: "I don't dare to say how effective it is now. I will see the effect after using it in Dexianlou. However, based on what I ate today, the sales will not be bad, but Er Niang also wants to Be prepared."
At this time, the two of them had finished their meal. Liu Zhiyuan sent Qian Neizhi to remove the bowls and chopsticks from the table, and then personally ordered a cup of tea for Chen Bing. Chen Bing ate the thick white tea soup in the cup and asked: "Are you asking me to think about how to develop in the future?" Then he praised: "This tea is so fragrant, and your craftsmanship is so good. Hey, it's been a long time since I drank the tea you ordered. I miss it very much." "
Liu Zhiyuan was extremely happy in his heart, but extremely indifferent on his face. He smiled and said: "It's fine if you like it. Nowadays, some flower foam is added to the tea served in the capital. Therefore, in addition to the fragrance of tea, the tea soup will also have the fragrance of tea."
Mixed with the fragrance of flowers, it is extremely refreshing. I sent people to the capital a few days ago to do some shopping. I should be able to come back in the next few days. I will order some for my second mother to drink at that time."
Liu Zhiyuan was afraid that Chen Bing would be embarrassed, so he quickly returned to the topic and said: "What you just said is true. If the soy sauce tastes good in my place, can you guarantee the follow-up supply? Still
Although I don’t know how to brew this soy sauce, I guess it requires a sauce jar. How long will the soy sauce tube in your sauce jar last? How long will it take to make this jar of sauce? Can you keep up? These are the things you need to think about now.
Things to solve."
Chen Bing was very impressed. He stretched out his thumb and praised Liu Zhiyuan, saying: "Big devil, you are worthy of being a person who makes a living in a restaurant. What you said is very reasonable. Yes, I have indeed thought about what you said.
I won't care about you who didn't test well. If it's good, I will use this small wine jar as an example and put the soy sauce into it, so that I can use it as a guide. As for the source of goods you mentioned
, but this is a problem. It takes a long time to make a jar of sauce, about four months, but now that it is summer, it only takes three months. You can make multiple jars at one time, except for the initial supply.
It will be slower, so you don’t have to worry about it later.”
Liu Zhiyuan nodded, took a sip of tea himself, sat up straight, and said, "Okay, I have something to say. I wonder if you are willing to listen to it?"
Chen Bing looked at Liu Zhiyuan and nodded, but did not speak. Liu Zhiyuan understood in his heart, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "I have been to your Western courtyard before. It is quite old, not big, and very cramped.
Whether it is used to make self-made fires or to make soy sauce, it is not a long-term solution. Moreover, this west courtyard is not yours. No one can guarantee that the second sister-in-law Zhang will not come to make trouble in the future. If things get serious, let you
When Weng Weng and mother-in-law find out, they will be very
Tricky. I think you should understand this." After saying this, Liu Zhiyuan took a sip of tea and looked at Chen Bing with a smile.
Chen Bing knew that what he said was reasonable, but given her conditions, it was impossible to find another hospital. She sighed and said, "Zhixing, I understand what you said, and I understand that the West Hospital is indeed not the best choice.
But now I only have the west courtyard to rely on. If it were gone, I would not be able to talk about making fires and making sauce."
Liu Zhiyuan said: "I know your difficulties. It is not easy for you to be able to do what you have done since you were born a daughter."
Chen Bing rolled her eyes at him, a little dissatisfied, and thought: "What? A daughter can't do these things? A daughter can't do self-generating fire? Who said women are inferior to men? If a man can do it, this self-generating
Why did a woman teach me how to make fire?” However, these thoughts of hers were naturally not revealed, but she wanted to know what Liu Zhiyuan wanted to express next, so she still looked at him with a normal expression.
Liu Zhiyuan didn't notice anything, and continued: "The land price in Huahu Village is not high. I only spent fifty yuan in total when I bought this land. Excluding the first and second entrances of the yard, the atrium, and the main house
Later, I left two acres of land for the backyard. Now the yard is not completely completed, and there are no trees planted in the backyard. I think it is better to open up the backyard for your own fire and sauce making.
Come and use it, what do you think?"
Chen Bing was startled, thinking that this matter was not appropriate, but he was a little moved, and felt extremely conflicted. He thought to himself: "This matter will have a great influence on my future development, whether it is making fire by myself, making soy sauce, or other things in the future."
It's extremely beneficial. If I agree, how should I explain to my brother? He already had some opinions about Zhixing yesterday, and he was even dissatisfied with me being too close to him. But if I reject Zhixing's offer in this matter
I'm afraid that his good intentions will be spoiled and there will never be such a good opportunity in the future. What should I do?" Although Chen Bing was extremely hesitant, his expression remained unchanged and he said, "I'm afraid this is not good.
.”
Liu Zhiyuan waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, this yard is not of much use if I keep it. If I plant flowers and plants, I will have to spend a lot of manpower to take care of it, which is not cost-effective. It is a way to get the best of both worlds for you.
, you don’t have to refuse anymore, it’s settled.”
