Chapter 239 Zhu Xiaomei actually fell in love with Liao Baojia
Chapter 239 Zhu Xiaomei actually fell in love with Liao Baojia
Shen Yanli actually bought the goat's milk, and it took some effort on his part. This kid really puts his heart into what he does.
Shen Nanzhi prepared the side dishes at home, boiled red beans, and rolled taro balls, as she happened to have some sweet potatoes available.
However, if you want a better taste, you also need to add taro and pumpkin to adjust the color. It would be even better if you have cassava. Pumpkin is not in short supply, but taro is hard to find, after all, it is not produced in the north.
The same goes for cassava. It does grow wild in the mountains, but no one knows how to eat it. Cassava is also poisonous and can kill people if consumed improperly, so it has been unknown to the public.
After the New Year, Shen Nanzhi thought about going to the mountains to look for it. Maybe he would find something, which would be another way to make money.
I have now used sweet potatoes and pumpkins, which are barely usable, but the taste is not chewy enough.
But for the ancients who had never eaten these things, it was already amazing enough.
First use black tea to stir-fry, then add goat's milk after it is burnt. The black tea can remove the fishy smell of goat's milk. Finally, add small ingredients and sugar to mix it, and you will get a cup of fragrant milk tea.
If you don’t like white sugar, adding osmanthus honey is also a good choice.
There are many kinds of fried tea, which were gradually developed later.
"Come and have a taste."
Each person got a bowl. Just smelling the flavor made people happy physically and mentally. After taking small sips, the whole body felt warm and the cold wind didn't seem so scary anymore.
Liao Baojia sighed: "With this milk tea making technique, I can bring back a wife."
Shen Nanzhi almost burst out laughing, "Not really?"
"Sister Nanzhi, you didn't come to play with us when you came back. Don't you consider us your friends? What's that smell? It smells so good. Sister Nanzhi, you ate alone without telling us."
It was Jin Xuan'er and Zhu Xiaomei. They knew that Shen Nanzhi had returned, and after waiting for her for the entire afternoon but not seeing her come home, they had no choice but to come look for her themselves.
As soon as she entered the room, she smelled a strong aroma. Zhu Xiaomei sniffed, "There's goat milk, tea leaves, red beans, and some other smells. What is this?"
Shen Nanzhi was surprised: "You can smell it?"
"That's right, anything delicious can't be hidden from my nose."
Shen Huai'en had already left quietly when Jin Xuan'er came in. He didn't want to have any close contact with any woman who coveted him.
Shen Yanli was still young, so it was okay for him to play with them. When Liao Baojia was hesitating to leave, Shen Nanzhi said, "He made it. You guys try it."
Shen Nanzhi didn't have any other intentions. When Liao Baojia had to deal with these young ladies in the future, he would definitely be the one to entertain them.
"You made it? Can you make some more for us? We'll pay for it."
"No, there's still some stuff. Ladies, please wait a moment."
After watching Shen Nanzhi make it once, which was not something that required much technical skills, Liao Baojia quickly made a cup of fragrant milk tea.
The two of them were instantly attracted to it after tasting it. "It's so delicious. I've never tasted anything so delicious. Is it made from goat's milk? Goat's milk has a flavor, which I didn't like before."
Liao Baojia said: "Black tea removes the fishy smell, and with sugar and other things, it tastes good. This lady likes to drink it, I will make more for you."
Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "You just said that you were planning to use this to find a wife, but now you are serving other young ladies?"
Liao Baojia smiled innocently: "I was just kidding, Sister Shen, please stop laughing at me."
Zhu Xiaomei's eyes turned, "I know you, you sell ice bowls and herbal tea in the summer. It's cold in the winter and I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you going to sell this?"
"Yes, this is called milk tea. They also sell spicy hot pot. We have to find a way to make a living."
Zhu Xiaomei's eyes sparkled: "Malatang, what is that?"
Liao Baojia glanced at Shen Nanzhi, who nodded before saying, "It's a kind of food, a dish cooked in broth, which can be eaten with steamed buns and rice. It's food for the poor, and I'm afraid the young ladies won't like it."
"Cook it for us to try, okay, Sister Nanzhi? I'm starving."
"Greedy, do it, and let the two greedy ladies give their opinions."
"it is good."
There is not much technical skill in making Malatang, the main thing is to cook the soup base well, it is delicious even if it is cooked with shoe soles. There were some leftover soup base ingredients in the kitchen, and Liao Baojia quickly cooked two large bowls.
It was served in a large bowl. The two young ladies were amazed: "How can we finish this bowl?"
"In fact, there is more soup than vegetables. It is just for the taste. Ladies, please eat as much as you want. It doesn't matter if there are leftovers."
Liao Baojia just cooked according to his own appetite, but he didn't expect that these girls had small appetites.
The two of them started eating without hesitation. Jin Xuan'er was fine, she ate a little bit of it, put down her chopsticks and said, "I'm full. I've already eaten a lot, more than I've eaten all day. I really can't eat any more. Mei'er, I'll give it to you as a reward."
"Thank you, Miss."
The unfinished food of the master will be shared with the maids and servants who serve him. This is the rule.
The maid didn't mind, and happily took it away and ate it all, making sure not a single piece was wasted.
Zhu Xiaomei's maid pulled her several times before she put down her chopsticks, reluctantly asking, "Are you afraid that I'll finish eating and there won't be any for you?"
The maid said, "No, Miss, you misunderstood me. It was Madam who told you not to eat so much."
Mrs. Zhu is worried that she won’t be able to get married because she eats too much. Whose daughter is so plump?
In the past, Shen Nanzhi could compete with her, but now Shen Nanzhi has lost a lot of weight, even thinner than her, so Zhu Xiaomei's eyebrows are exposed.
"Okay, I won't eat it."
The maid happily brought it down. Of course, she also wanted to eat it. It was too torturous to not be able to eat it just by smelling it.
Especially since the young lady ate with such relish, the young lady's maid could eat an extra bowl of rice every day just by watching her.
The maid was also a little fat. After all, she was like her master.
However, the maidservant exercises a lot and consumes a lot of energy, so she is not too fat.
Zhu Xiaomei sighed, "Sister Nanzhi, you are so disloyal. You have lost so much weight now, and I am the only fat person left. My life is so hard."
Shen Nanzhi said: "Eating too much is not good for your health. Xiaomei, you have to be careful. This world is harsh on girls. If you want to marry a good husband, you have to control your diet and lose weight."
"You might as well kill me than make me lose weight!"
"If you eat too much and move too little, you will get fat. If you don't want to avoid food, then move more. Run five laps around the county every day. Don't eat too much oil and meat, and you will definitely lose weight."
"Five laps, and you're not going to kill me!"
"So you don't want to marry a good husband?"
Zhu Xiaomeidao: "Is there no husband who doesn't dislike me?"
"Unless you marry a farmer, he won't mind, and you will definitely lose weight."
"why?"
"You work in the fields every day, eat coarse food, and then you have to take care of the whole family when you get home. Giving birth is another hurdle. You're amazing if you can gain weight."
"Ha, Sister Nanzhi, please stop talking. I can't survive."
Liao Baojia and Shen Nanzhi nodded and quietly went out so as not to disturb them while they were talking.
After he left, the girls had more things to talk about. Jin Xuan'er was relieved when she talked about Jiang Chen: "My grandfather personally came forward and kicked him out of the academy. Without this bastard like him, the sky in this county would be a little clearer."
Shen Nanzhi: "Your grandfather is not cruel enough. If it were me, I would strip him of his fame and reputation. I would have to kill him, or he would fight back and hurt himself."
Jin Xuan'er: "My grandfather also thought so. It was Master Meng who kept him safe. He was lucky."
"Mr. Meng has become a little soft-hearted. Jiang Chen may not be grateful to him. Instead, he may hate him. However, he won't achieve much in the next three to five years, so don't bother with him."
Not to mention the enemy Ye Xiao. Master Ning Wu is not a pushover either, so Jiang Chen will have a hard time.
"Don't talk about him. It's really disappointing. Is this Liao Baojia married?"
"No, his family is poor and he doesn't have many relatives. Who would be willing to marry him? But next year will be different. His business will be on track. He can sell ice bowls in the summer and milk tea and spicy hot pot in the winter. He will have business all year round. If he buys a house, there will naturally be people who propose marriage to him."
If a man has a career, would he still worry about a wife?
We have to admit that this world is still very tolerant towards men. Even if Liao Baojia delays for a few years, as long as he earns enough money, marrying a virgin will not be a problem.
Zhu Xiaomei asked, "Sister Nanzhi, do you think he's okay? I think he's not bad. My family is poor now, so I just happened to get a bargain. When he has money to buy a house, he will definitely not like me."
Shen Nanzhi: "..."
Girl, are you serious?
Jin Xuan'er has suffered losses before. "You should ask your family for advice. Don't make the decision on your own. Something bad will happen."
Zhu Xiaomei said excitedly: "I'll tell my mother right away, I think it's okay."
Shen Nanzhi: "You may think it's possible, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's possible. What do you like about Liao Baojia?"
"He can cook delicious food, he's an honest and decent person, and with your help, Sister Nanzhi, I believe he will have a bright future."
Zhu Xiaomei's family owns several shops, the most profitable of which is a restaurant. They also own hundreds of acres of land in the village. They are considered a wealthy family in the county, but compared to those wealthy families, they are at the bottom of the list.
The Zhu family cannot compare to the profound foundation of the Xie family, but the Zhu family has a good family tradition and is very doting on their daughter. She is the eldest sister, and her two younger brothers are very sensible. Looking at Zhu Xiaomei's innocent character, you can tell that the Zhu family is a good family.
Shen Nanzhi said: "You still have to tell your family. I won't get involved in this matter."
Zhu Xiaomei: "Then Liao Baojia also agreed, my family has no objection, sister Nanzhi, can you be a matchmaker?"
"That's fine. If necessary, I can ask the county magistrate to be your witness."
It would be nice to add icing on the cake and help a pair of lovers get together, provided that the two truly love each other and it's not calculated like Jiang Chen did.
"Okay, with Sister Nanzhi's words, the marriage is halfway done."
Shen Nanzhi didn't know she was so proud, "What if your parents don't agree?"
"I have my own way."
Shen Nanzhi: "It's not okay to cry, make a scene, and then hang yourself. Look at the negative example of Miss Jin. It really made Mrs. Jin sad. This is not the right way. You can't take advantage of the love of your parents to poke their lungs. This is too selfish."
