I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 771 Start making money again

After Mrs. Li gave birth safely, Baiyunxi asked her second son to go to Li’s natal family to announce the good news with a gift.

When Old Man Li learned that his daughter had given birth safely, he immediately came with his son and wife carrying the old hens, brown sugar, and red dates that had been prepared in advance.

 According to customs, when a girl gives birth, her natal mother will come to take care of her during the confinement period. But Li has no mother, only the sister-in-law of the Li family takes her place. The Li family's sister-in-law stayed here for a few days, and she was extremely satisfied when she watched her sister-in-law eat during confinement.

"My aunt is still lucky. Her husband's family is harmonious and her sisters-in-law are harmonious. You are also ambitious enough to win a man in one fell swoop."

Li Shi chuckled and said, "Actually, my daughter-in-law also likes it. My sister-in-law will know it just by looking at Yaya."

“Mom, are you bothering to give the baby a good name? Brother Yan and I are stupid and can’t come up with a good name, so we can only give the baby a nickname: Zhuangzhuang. Mom needs to worry about a big name.”

Hearing her sister-in-law's tone, the sister-in-law of the Li family thought for a moment. After spending the past few days getting along with her in-laws, she realized that the family was big and didn't care about a boy or girl. Even so, she hoped that her sister-in-law's first child would be a boy, so she could establish herself first.

 With the master chef taking care of it, almost nothing is wasted.

 Since Xiaowu passed the national examination, the attitude of the village toward his family has changed visibly. They say don't hit anyone with a smiling face. As long as no one makes trouble, Baiyunxi will be polite.

Li's sister-in-law stayed here to take care of her for five or six days in a row. She thought that the house would be in a mess with no one to cook, so she had no choice but to suggest it to her sister-in-law.

 It is very important for a woman to undergo confinement. Once her body recovers, she will suffer less in the future.

But the Baiyunxi family was very busy, because it was time for the ducks raised by Xiaosi to be put out of the market. Thinking of the delicious roast duck, Baiyunxi made a simple sketch, and took the second child and Xiaosi together to make a half-person height in the yard. The oven has an arched mouth and no door. You can hang the processed duck on the iron structure in the oven, which is the correct hanging method.

“The nickname Zhuang Zhuang is really suitable for him. Let’s call him a name first. I will give him a big name when the child is enlightened.”

Li thought about the situation at home and nodded.

"Sister-in-law, just go back. Nothing will happen here. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law will take good care of my confinement period. When the full moon wine is made, I will invite my sister-in-law and father to come over."

Bai Yunxi directly explained that she must be meticulous in serving the confinement, and don't be stingy in food. The family is not short of anything. She also told the village that if anyone sells old hens, just send them over, and she will accept them all. The price is A penny more than a pound in town.

"I think your mother-in-law takes good care of you. Sister-in-law, I won't stay here any longer. In fact, I don't do much every day. Your sister-in-law and sister-in-law are all competing for it. I can't help you here. You also know that there is a big stall at home, just cooking is a problem, and my sister-in-law is really worried."

 Traditional roast duck is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It takes a day from slaughtering, marinating to golden crispy skin.

Place the sliced ​​duck on a plate, paired with pancake dipping sauce and scallions. Baiyunxi gave them a demonstration and took a bite first. The skin was thin and the meat was tender, and the taste was pretty good.

　In this regard, Baiyunxi is not stingy at all. It combines meat and vegetables with old hen soup, ginseng beard soup, and pork rib soup with lotus root.

 At this period, children were given names relatively late, and they were given names only when they were studying genealogy or going to school for enlightenment. Mr. Li nodded.

Bai Yunxi explained carefully, and Xiaosi listened attentively. When there were many steps, he even took a small notebook to write it down, for fear that he would miss it.

Taking advantage of the roast duck break, Baiyunxi asked Du to make pancake crust, dipping sauce and scallions.

As for the procurement of ingredients, Baiyunxi directly handed over the task to his second son. He and several long-term workers at home started preparations several days in advance.

As for the chef of the banquet, Bai Yunxi thought for a while. They have a chef in the countryside who specializes in weddings and weddings. They are experienced. You only need to mention the number of people and specifications, and they can calculate for you how many ingredients are needed.

 One hundred three. One two four. One hundred four. Two hundred

Bai Yunxi looked at her and chuckled,

 “You can just sit back and relax during confinement, and you don’t need to worry about anything else.”

　　When Mrs. Li gave birth to a baby, the villagers got the news and came to visit her one after another. If the conditions were good, they gave her a few eggs, a bag of brown sugar, and some people brought a bowl of flour. In short, everyone who comes to see the children is not empty-handed.

 The day after the banquet, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

 It is 80% to 90% close to the taste in memory. Although it is not perfect, it can be improved a bit. It is close to 90% no problem.

　That day, as soon as she was about to leave after seeing the children, she was stopped by Mrs. Li.

Li's confinement was in winter, which was a time of leisure for farmers. There were many people and it was lively, and the full moon banquet was held happily.

 You can inquire by yourself before selling.

Anyone who comes to Baiyunxi will be asked to make a note by Du. When the full moon wine is made, people need to be invited to sit down.

 As for the boy, the eldest son, even if he is in the countryside, the eldest son will get the glory.

“Hey, don’t worry about this, we have already prepared it.” Sister-in-law Li stretched out her hand and pinched her sister-in-law’s round cheek. The old saying is true: those who are blessed are not busy, and those who are unlucky are heartbroken.

 After the sister-in-law of the Li family left, Du Shi and Bai Anjing took over all the confinement care of the Li family.

 As for the ones they raise at home, they eat one every now and then, which is almost enough.

 Seeing Mrs. Li getting better and better day by day, and the child getting stronger and stronger day by day, Bai Yunxi felt completely at ease.

　　There are quite a few people coming to participate in the full moon party, most of them from the village alone. Early on, she asked her second son to clean out the two yards next door so that tables, chairs and benches could be easily placed.

　　It’s not that she shows off her wealth, except that Li needs old hens for her confinement period, and most people keep their old hens to lay eggs and are reluctant to sell them. Don't think it's a penny higher, you can get a few more.

The oven was first heated with fruit wood charcoal fire, and Baiyunxi took Xiaosi to prepare the ducks, from slaughtering to plucking and pickling. Baiyunxi explained while doing it.

“If you want to taste delicious, you don’t have to skip a single step from slaughtering the duck to hanging it in the oven. If you cut corners, the taste will be affected and your reputation will be damaged..."

She went to Mrs. Li's room every day to take a look, and the rest of the care work was taken over by her daughter and Mrs. Du.

After hearing Li's suggestion, Bai Yunxi was stunned and looked down at the rosy and strong eldest grandson.

 The north wind is howling and the snowflakes are flying. The cold winter is the most suitable for everyone.

Everyone imitated my mother’s technique and each wrapped themselves a piece of duck meat, served it with dipping sauce and scallions, and put it into their mouths...everyone’s eyes widened.

 Many strong flavors are blended together, and the last is the fragrance of duck meat, which is fragrant but not greasy, and very delicious.
