Chapter 159 The world is difficult

  Yu Xiaolian knew that posting letters in ancient times was very inconvenient, but she didn't expect it to be so inconvenient.

   It was only when I went to the post station that I realized that those official post stations were not open to ordinary people like them.

  Yu Xiaolian had never mailed a letter, and Zheng Yuanfeng asked someone to help her send her reply letter to Jiang Lin.

  Remembering that the last time Jiang Lin sent her a message through the Escort, Yu Xiaolian also planned to visit the Escort.

  The people in the bodyguard bureau told Yu Xiaolian that there were no bodyguards going to Yangcheng recently, so there was no way to send a message to Yu Xiaolian.

  Yu Xiaolian is in a hurry, Su Jingyue is lost, Su Jingchen must be crazy.

   There is no way to send a letter, so she spent the money of a bodyguard to **** a letter to Mingxiang Pavilion in Yangcheng, right?

Zhao Biaotou laughed loudly, then shook his head, "Little girl, do you know how much we pay for the escort? You said you only need one letter, and I want to charge you too much money. I feel like I'm bullying the child. If I accept If there are fewer, it’s not worth it, so our Escort will not accept your business.

  If you trust me, put the letter here. If you have business to go to the Northland in a while, I will send it for you. "

  Yu Xiaolian asked, "Then do your bodyguards communicate frequently with Beidi?"

  Boss Zhao boldly said, "Every year, I always go there once or twice."

  Yu Xiaolian asked again, "Then how much will it cost if I **** a treasure to Beidi?"

   Zhao Biao turned back, "That depends on what kind of treasure you want to escort? The size, value, quantity, weight, and distance of the goods, as well as whether the goods are fragile or not, all have to do with the price.

  One more thing, the journey to the north is far away. If you go by land, it will take more than four months to go back and forth. If it is less than two hundred taels, we will not accept it. "

  Yu Xiaolian sighed, if it costs two hundred taels to send a letter, it seems a bit worthless.

   Forget it, let her think of another way.

   How about asking her father to come and send Su Jingyue back?

  Forget it, Yangcheng will be in chaos soon, and Yu Xiaolian doesn't want her father to go back to take risks, in case something unexpected happens.

  Anyway, Su Jingyue is safe at her house, so if Su Jingchen is thinking about it, let him think about it for a while.

   Alas, there is no way, the world is difficult!

  Before leaving, Yu Xiaolian gave Zhao Escort two taels of silver. Please, if Zhao Escort receives it after a while, you must go to Taotaoju in the east of the city and tell her about the business going to Yangcheng or Linzhou.

   "Amoy Taoju?"

  When will there be another Taotaoju in the east of the city? Zhao Biaotou asked, "What does Taotaoju do?"

   "It's a new grocery store opened by my family. It has all kinds of daily necessities. If there is a need, Zhao Escort can go shopping in two days. I promise you won't be disappointed."

  As soon as he heard that it was a grocery store, Escort Zhao was not very interested. He just wondered why this grocery store had such a strange name.

  When Yu Xiaolian returned home, the shelves of the two shops had been installed by Yu Changhe and Sun Fengshou, and the two shops were completely new.

  The cauldron for making braised pork has also been set up, waiting for Yu Xiaolian's guidance.

  Yu Xiaolian had already copied a stewed pork recipe from "The Encyclopedia of Chinese Cuisine". In the past few days while waiting for the plaque, she not only took care of the chili seedlings, but also went to the pharmacy to buy spices.

  Things like cinnamon bark, star anise, peppercorns, fragrant leaves and kaempferia, she got them all at the pharmacy.

   It just took a lot of effort, because the ancient cinnamon bark was not called cinnamon bark, but cinnamon.

  Anise is not called star anise, it is called fennel. Shannai is called Lian Jiang here, and it took Yu Xiaolian several days to collect all the ingredients in the recipe, just the same thing, without chili.

  Yu Xiaolian handed the revised prescription to Yu Changhe and asked him to put it away.

  In case the brine is not preserved properly in the future, it will go bad, and if you need to catch the ingredients again, just follow this recipe.

  Yu Xiaolian added half of the pot of water to the pot, and then asked Yu Changhe to put the pork and pork ribs that had been washed in advance into the pot under cold water, add green onions, ginger, and white wine, and bring to a boil.

   After boiling, skim off the foam on the surface, continue to blanch for five minutes, and blanch all the ingredients thoroughly. After blanching, take out the water and wash it with warm water.

  Yu Xiaolian wrapped the prepared spices in gauze and sealed the mouth.

  Pour out the water that blanched the meat just now, then replace it with clean water, put the blanched pork and ribs in, and put the tied braised pork buns in.

   Then add the right amount of soy sauce, salt and sugar, as well as dried red pepper.

   "Simmer on low heat for half an hour, then simmer for two hours, it's ready.

  It should be noted that the material bag should be taken out after half an hour, otherwise the spice smell is too strong, and the meat will not be fragrant.

   It is best to reuse this brine five or six times before replacing it with a new one, otherwise the weather is too hot now and it will definitely go bad.

  Since you want to do long-term business, you must buy fresh meat every day. Well, you can’t try to be cheap.

   When you buy it, you must wash it very clean. There should be no pig hair on the pigskin.

  This brine can be used not only for pork, but also for beef, chicken, and eggs.

  Dad, you'd better save more of the things you need to use on the ingredient list. But don't buy it in a pharmacy, buy it scattered, otherwise others will know the secret recipe of our braised pork. "

  When Yu Xiaolian was speaking, their whole family listened carefully, including when Yu Xiaolian grabbed all kinds of spices, whether they grabbed a big pinch or a small pinch, they also took notes carefully.

  This is a recipe for opening a shop, who wouldn’t want to learn it?

"As for the pepper, I have already cultivated the pepper seedlings. When it grows a bit, I will try to transplant it to the small plot in the backyard of our house. If it can produce peppers, we will go to Taohua Village next year. Buy a piece of land to grow peppers."

Speaking of buying land in Taohua Village, Sun Fengshou hurriedly said while lighting the fire, "If our family goes back to the countryside to farm, I will go back to farm. I am good at farming. I'm afraid I can't do this business. I'm clumsy." very."

  Yu Xiaolian smiled and said, "I don't know what's going on with this pepper yet, let's talk about it when it grows!"

   Mrs. Sun pulled Yu Xiaolian away from the stove, "It's too hot, let your uncle cook it, let's go indoors and talk."

  As soon as Sun, Yu Xiaolian, and Mrs. Sun sat down, Zhao Erya ran over with a round fan to fan them.

   Sanya is still young, her eyes are dull, and she just does whatever her second sister does.

  When Erya beat Mrs. Sun's leg, she beat her leg. When Erya pinched Mrs. Sun's shoulder, she also pinched her shoulder.

   Now that her second sister fanned her, Sanya hurried to find a fan to fan Yu Xiaolian and the others.

   After a while, the smell of stewed meat from the backyard wafted into the store. Sanya and Su Jingyue took a sharp sniff, it smells so good.

  Sun asked Yu Xiaolian, "Can you sell such a big pot of stewed meat?"

   It's a hot day, if it can't be sold, it will go bad the next day.

  Yu Xiaolian actually has no idea, but on the street where their house is located, there is only one stewed meat shop in his house, so it should be a good seller.

  Try selling it for a day first. If it is not easy to sell, she will improve the stewed meat ingredients and add a lot of pepper and chili to make it spicy. At that time, besides stewed pork, spicy duck can also be sold.

  There are so many modern delicacies, but spicy duck has always been at the top of the trend and has never receded.
