An old soldier pondered for a while: "I don't know what the young master arranged for them to do for breakfast, but if it's as good as beef jerky..."

Another old soldier clapped his knees and laughed: "You have to sell it until it goes up! Every morning, at the city gate, there are farmers, merchants, and boatmen waiting to come into the city to sell vegetables and purchase. Don't be too many! At least you can sell them.

Two to three hundred people!”

The old soldier from before said: "It's okay, but it's a bit hard. And there's a place to cook..."

Su You smiled and said: "I'll discuss the place with Eighth Niang and Twenty-seventh Niang. I'll use the things in the charity shed. As for the hard work, well, let's talk about survival first."

At this time, Li Shuanzhu and Zhang Zao came back. Li Shuanzhu reported: "Young master, the iron sand has been sold today. The master of the Cheng family asked you to go home quickly. If you have something to discuss, you have to go to Shijia Porcelain Factory tomorrow to check it.

, you can’t come to the Tutu Temple. The master of the Shijia Iron Shop also has something to do with you."

Su You said: "Then tell everyone to start dinner. These two are old military grandfathers guarding the gate of the dock. They will also eat with us tonight. After dinner, you can learn today's words. Just practice the uppercase ones. Sanskrit

Try to memorize and master the lowercase ones and review them tomorrow morning, noon and dusk."

The two of them agreed. Su You used bamboo tongs to fish out two large bowls from a large vat where the bowls were cooked, added a full bowl of brown rice, topped it with pickled fish, and brought it to the table of the two veterans: "Two big bowls."

As an old brother, I can't accompany you two to dinner when the elders in the city call you. I will ask you some questions when you two come back the next day."

The two old soldiers stood up quickly and said: "We are just Cuo Da. We cannot expect the young master to be so polite. We will definitely come to listen to your inquiries the day after tomorrow."

After saying goodbye to the two veterans, Su You called Li Shuanzhao over and whispered: "Brother Shuanzhao, let's say hello to everyone. Our income in the past few days should not be publicized. There are two other brothers who must have said hello.

, they are the most proficient in daily news in the city and the dock. We will rely on them in many places in the future."

Li Shuanzhuo said: "Young Master, please go and relax. Shuanzhuan will take care of you."

After that, he whispered again: "Today there are outsiders, Zao Wa came up with the idea that we should not bring back the iron sand money at all, and let Mr. Shi give it to you directly. I think it makes sense, so I agreed."

Su You nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Chaowa is very precise and arithmetic, so he is a natural accountant."

After that, he said to Xiaoqi brother Zhang Qi: "Those brothers who participated in making the casserole today, together with you, will clean up tomorrow. Come to the city to find me in the morning. Let's go to Shijia and let everyone see the big porcelain workshop."

How it works."

Zhang Qi nodded and agreed, and Su You hurried back to the city.

When I returned home, I saw Shi Tong, Shi Dongxiu, Cheng Wenying, and Mrs. Cheng talking. There was a large basin at their feet with four carp fish in it.

Su You greeted the others, looked at the wooden basin and said with a smile: "Hey, why haven't you cooked the fish yet?"

Cheng Wenying stroked his beard: "You were very talkative on the dock, saying good things should be filial to the elders, but you didn't know that the cooks at the elders' houses were so scared that they didn't dare to do anything."

Shi Dongxiu said with a smile: "No one in Meishan City has ever cooked this fish, which is usually worth a piece, so we simply sent it to Mr. Cheng's house. The cooks also came, ready to learn a good dish from you."

Su You smiled and said: "Oh, the truth is simplicity. The more top-notch ingredients, the simpler the cooking method. But everyone thinks it is too complicated."

Cheng Wenying waved his hand and said: "Then stop talking and hurry up to cook and serve it."

The cooks carried the basins to the back room with all their might, and Su You directed everyone to start cooking the fish.

The method is super simple. Take out the steam pot that was cooked before, remove the gills and belly of the Jiayu, use a knife to chop the back into sections but connect the abdomen. Then put the fish into the steam pot, add ginger slices, green onion sections, and some

Submerge the fish with well water, cover the steam pot lid, place it on a clay pot filled with water, and cover the gap between the clay pot and the steam pot with batter to steam it.

The cooks looked at each other. Fish that usually costs only a piece of fish is so easy to cook?

Su You said: "The steam pot must have a corresponding steaming grid, just like a wooden basin with holes on it. One hole corresponds to the gas hole of the steam pot. That would be the best. There is no such thing now. I can only make do with a clay pot.

Already."

After saying that, I couldn't help but mutter to myself: "In this era, there is only ginger mustard, it would be nice to have a spicier seasoning..."

The cook said: "Young master, there is some! Spicy rice oil has a very spicy taste..."

Su You couldn't help but be curious: "Huh? Is there still this thing?"

The cook smiled and said: "Spicy rice oil is also called Cornus officinalis sauce. It is made from Cornus officinalis fruits. Plant them in February and March. When the fruits crack in August, put them away and hang them on the wall of the house. Be careful not to use them.

Smoking it will make it bitter but not spicy."

"After it's half dry, remove the sunspots inside, add some lime to remove the bitterness, grind it into a paste, mix it with vegetable oil and preserve it, it's spicy rice oil... Oh, look at me, I'm such a master of tricks, does the young master still know this?"

"

Su You chuckled: "I really don't know this, please show me."

The cook rushed to the shelf and took out a bottle of sauce. It was red and very pleasing. Except for the fact that there were no white and flat pepper seeds, it was almost the same as the chili sauce of later generations.

After opening the lid, picking out a little bit and tasting it, Su You burst into tears: "I thought I wouldn't be able to eat the chili sauce..."

The cook said: "Oh, you deserve to die, I made the young master cry..."

Su You wiped away tears: "You can't be considered spicy at best! Back then I...forget it, hurry up and get seasonings for the elders, hahahaha, after finishing, this bottle will be mine! Find me two big bags of seeds,

Plant it in the kerong at the beginning of the new year!”

Condiments, Su You are ready to slowly add to the world, such as bean paste, soy sauce...

Suddenly, a flash of lightning seemed to flash in Su You's mind. There seemed to be a quick way to get the condiment he wanted. He had learned about it when he was inspecting the wastewater treatment in small workshops!

Shake your head and cook the fish first.

After more than ten minutes, the steamed Jiayu was ready.

He had never seen this Yusu oil before, but got the information from a book, but he knew how to steam sesame sword with river water. Seeing that the habits of Jiayu were similar to sesame sword, he started making it according to that method.

When I took off the lid, it was indeed fragrant. Although there was no cooking wine or anything like that, there was no fishy smell. This is the advantage of top-quality river fresh food.

Shaking his head, it seemed that this was another creature that was eaten to extinction by the Chinese foodies.

Remove the ginger slices and chopped green onions, sprinkle with some snow salt, and the delicacy is complete.

The fish was brought into the main room, and a plate of dipping sauce was placed in front of each person. Su You opened the lid of the steam pot, scooped some soup with a spoon and poured it into the dipping plate.

The fragrance is fragrant, the dishes are simple to the extreme, the soup is clear and transparent, the fish has no scales, the white and tender fish meat is exposed under the black skin, and there are only a few drops of fat floating on the surface of the soup.

A good soup was served. The Jiang Qing family knew the rule of drinking soup before eating meat, so they each took a bowl.

Cheng Wenying tasted a spoonful and said: "Good! It's sweet and delicious! It's really the most beautiful river delicacy!"

Shi Dongxiu also took a sip: "Nephew, did you add any seasoning to the soup? Why do I drink it... um, it's a bit sweet? And it has a bit of fruity flavor?"

Mrs. Cheng also asked: "Did water chestnuts or cogongrass be added? No, no..."

Su You smiled and said: "This steamed Jiayu dish is very simple to make. It's all about the ingredients, which are steamed in a steamer. The seasonings are only onions, ginger, and a little salt."

Shi Tong said: "Master really knows how to eat. It would be a pity if this fish was bought by that unscrupulous master for only two hundred coins!"

Mrs. Cheng shook her head and said: "A poor family has enough money to spend in ten days. No matter how delicious the fish is, the price is a bit high."

Su You said: "What my sister-in-law said makes sense. This fish is just like beef stewed in water. It's just meat. The reason why they are so different is actually because things are rare and valuable. What the rich eat is not just about taste, but also about taste.

A curiosity.”

Shi Tong thought of something and answered: "Speaking of this, Master's feather-patterned steel is unique in the world. It is a rarity! Word passed down from home that the little heavenly master ordered the Shi family to build five magic swords. This
