Chapter 214 Boiled Fish
She saw the most noble man and woman in the world, just staring at them.
The queen looked at Xia Xuelian and sighed in her heart. It was really hard to describe what it was like to grow up in the countryside.
The emperor thought she looked stupid inside and out, but the queen actually saw a slight smile on the emperor's face, and then she heard him say, "Your daughter is smart and beautiful, a model of beauty and intelligence. I am very pleased with her. Give her a reward!"
As soon as the emperor spoke, his beloved's jaw dropped. The emperor was drunk, so how could he see that she was smart and beautiful?
Mrs. Wang was also surprised, but did not dare to think too much. She glanced at Xue He, the Duke of Zhenguo, who was sitting opposite her, and saw that he was sitting like an old monk.
In fact, Xia Xuelian didn’t understand what the emperor said at all, she just knew that the emperor had rewarded her as well.
The injustice I felt just now was replaced by pride.
"I would like to thank the Emperor and Empress, and I wish the Emperor and Empress will be united as one!"
When Xia Xuelian said this, everyone opened their mouths in surprise again.
After hearing this, the queen felt very pleased.
The nanny helped Xia Xuelian back to her seat.
Anyang City
Starting from the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the women of the Wu family were in the kitchen almost every day, preparing various foods.
Even due to the limitation of ingredients, it was not a problem for Xue Qing. To be more precise, it was not a problem for Ding and Jiang Yi. Xue Qing asked them to use leavened dough to make various animal shapes.
I made the rabbit, puppy and piglet.
Wu Qian and Wu Xiu are the happiest people in the family, as they can eat steamed buns with different kinds of small animals every day.
On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, the sky was very overcast. Several people were busy in the kitchen when they heard a knock on the door.
Jiang Yi hurried out to open the door. It turned out to be the shopkeeper Xie and the steward Xie Jiang of Youranju. Behind them was a carriage.
When Xie Jiang saw that it was Jiang Yi who opened the door, he quickly said, "Aunt Jiang, the shopkeeper and I are here to deliver New Year's goods to Miss Wu."
Jiang Yi clasped his fists towards Shopkeeper Xie and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Shopkeeper. Please come in."
Shopkeeper Xie looked at Jiang Yi now and nodded with satisfaction.
Xue Qing also came out at this time to greet Shopkeeper Xie. Jiang Yi, Xie Jiang and the driver were moving New Year's goods from the car into the house.
The three of them moved the stuff six times.
Wu Tong saw Shopkeeper Xie coming and hurried out to greet him. This was a big shot that he could hardly meet.
"Thank you, shopkeeper, for visiting us. You have brought honor to our Wu family!" Wu Tong clasped his hands and bowed.
Shopkeeper Xie clasped his fists and said, "Brother Wu, how are you?"
At this time, Xue Qing was standing next to Shopkeeper Xie, and they were like close friends regardless of age difference.
Wu Tong saw Xue Qing standing here all the time, and frowned slightly: "You go down"
Xue Qing glanced at him and ignored him, then turned to Shopkeeper Xie and said, "Shopkeeper Xie, come back after lunch, there are new dishes to try."
Shopkeeper Xie's eyes lit up: "Miss Wu, I'm looking forward to trying the new dishes."
"Then have a cup of tea, it will be ready soon." Then he turned and went to the kitchen.
I happened to make boiled fish today, steamed big white buns in the morning, and steamed white rice at noon.
For lunch, I made boiled fish and some bean sprouts that I grew myself.
Braised pork, twice-cooked pork, cabbage with vinegar, and lamb stewed with radish.
Wu Tong wanted to get closer to Shopkeeper Xie, but Shopkeeper Xie just listened to him, nodded slightly, and didn't say much.
When Jiang Yi came to invite Manager Xie to the restaurant for dinner, Wu Tong wanted to say something but was interrupted by Jiang Yi.
Xue Qing took the time to change into men's clothes and sat at the same table with Wu Tong and Xie Zhang.
When Xue Qing brought the carefully prepared boiled fish to Shopkeeper Xie, he said:
"Thank you, boss, for trying this fish."
Wu Tong saw the eager look in Shopkeeper Xie's eyes and stared at his expression after he finished eating.
Shopkeeper Xie couldn't hold back his anticipation. Every time Xue Qing prepared a dish, it would surprise him. Finally, he could taste this legendary delicacy, and his expression was both nervous and excited.
He closed his eyes slightly, as if he was feeling the spicy and tender aroma of the fish, as if the whole world was immersed in this delicious moment.
The bright red oil covers the white fish meat, giving it an attractive sheen, while the golden chili pepper segments and emerald green onion segments dot the fish, creating a sharp color contrast.
The texture of the fish meat is clearly visible, the taste is smooth and tender, and it melts in your mouth. The soup is mellow and rich, spicy and fragrant, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.
Shopkeeper Xie picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and gently put it into his mouth. He felt the fish instantly release delicious juice in his mouth, which blended perfectly with the spicy soup.
The spicy stimulation instantly refreshed people, and the fresh taste of the fish made people intoxicated. He savored the boiled fish carefully. It turned out that the fish with such a strong fishy smell could be so delicious with the chili and pepper.
After tasting the boiled fish, shopkeeper Xie showed a satisfied smile on his face. He praised it highly: "This boiled fish is not only delicious, but also bright in color and fragrant, which greatly increases people's appetite."
He believes that this boiled fish will become the restaurant's signature dish and attract more diners to taste it.
After the meal, Shopkeeper Xie asked Xue Qing if he could launch boiled fish after the New Year. Xue Qing told Shopkeeper Xie: "The most important thing about this boiled fish is the mixture of chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns. We don't have many chili peppers to try growing at the moment. After the spring comes, we will plant them in our own fields first. After accumulating good experience, we can plant them on a large scale and then promote them throughout Da Zhou."
Xue Qing briefly talked about some of the business ecological chains of later generations. Shopkeeper Xie was so shocked that he couldn't even describe it. Xue Qing once again refreshed his cognition.
Shopkeeper Xie was still in shock on the way back to Youran Ju.
She didn't expect Xue Qing to think so far and so big.
Assuming that Youranju is entirely under her operation, it is unimaginable what it will become?
It would become the largest restaurant and shop in the entire Great Zhou, no, in the entire world, or as Miss Wu said, an industrial group.
He no longer dared to imagine what the scene would be like.
Shopkeeper Xie sat in the study. After he had completely calmed down, he carefully recalled what Xue Qing had said. He picked up a pen and began to write down everything he had said to Xue Qing today on paper.
This time I wrote on more than a dozen pages and put them in several envelopes.
After it was finished, someone was immediately arranged to deliver it to the capital.
After seeing off Shopkeeper Xie, Wu Tong became angrier and angrier he looked at Xue Qing, a woman who always put him above her in everything.
"How can you, a woman, eat at the same table with him? Don't you know any manners?"
Wu Tong started to scold Xue Qing harshly.
"There are no such bullshit rules here!"
Xue Qing replied to Wu Tong and turned away.
Liu was standing by: "If it weren't for Qing'er, would you be able to live in such a nice house? You're making trouble now, but where were you when the three of us were starving to death? You were in the arms of another woman!"
