A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

When Wen Meijiu brought the two maids back, her mother was busy.

When she was in the car, she complained of back pain. Wen Meijiu pulled her mother aside and called two maids to her.

"Mom, you should just focus on serving Dad from now on, and leave the cooking to them and my aunt and uncle."

"The older one is called Ma Rulan, and the younger one is called Qi Wenjing. Both girls are very smart. You can ask them for help if you have any problems in the future."

The mother looked at the two girls that Wen Meijiu introduced to her. They both looked pretty good, but she felt a little nervous inside.

The family has more and more people to support, and I don’t know if the food my daughter brings is enough.

Rubbing her apron with her hands, my mother smiled, turned around and pulled the warm wine aside, whispering:

"Girl, where did you get this girl from? Can you trust her?"

Wen Meijiu said: "Mom, you can rely on me. I am good at judging people. One of them is calm and reserved, while the other is cheerful and generous. Both of their parents have passed away.

They have no roots, and some of them stutter following us. As long as we are nice to them, they will be wholeheartedly loyal to us.

They are much better than those married women. Their presence can also stop other people from thinking about them."

Wen Meijiu looked away and her mother understood that she was talking about Liu Kerong who had wanted to come here to help in the kitchen. She was not an easy person to deal with.

"Hey, we already have so many people here, and mother is worried that you can't handle it."

Wen Meijiu understood his mother's worries, so he leaned over to her ear and whispered:

"Mom, don't worry. Before I came here, I stockpiled a lot of food. It's enough to open three or five food stores."

She told her mother the whole story, and her mother felt relieved.

Dad is in the recovery period, and Lao Li asked us to massage his legs frequently and boil medicine for him. He really needs someone to take care of him, so Mom agreed.

The two girls had just arrived, and Wen Meijiu was afraid that they were unfamiliar with the place and might not be able to do their job well, so he watched them from the side.

Ma Rulan is slower but more careful.

Qi Wenjing is quick and skillful and knows more about cooking than Ma Rulan.

Ma Rulan knew that she was not as good as Qi Wenjing in this aspect, so she took the initiative to help Qi Wenjing, and the two of them cooperated quite well.

In the past, there were not so many people, and every meal consisted of my mother’s pickled meat, plus rice porridge or pancakes.

Now that Art has contributed all the meat and food, I would feel a little sorry if I don't cook it well for them.

However, before fleeing the famine, they left in such a hurry that they did not prepare any edible vegetables, let alone side dishes for stir-frying meat.

So, Wen Meijiu found a secluded place and sneaked into the space.

After spending two taels of silver, Wen Meijiu called out the assistant again.

There was no money left in the account, so Wen Meijiu had to sell another 258 kilograms of rice at a low price, and finally made some money. This time she was more careful and raised the price a little bit, which did not affect the transaction, and she made yuan.

Now that he had money, Wen Meijiu wanted to buy some vegetables that were large in quantity, cheap in price, and easy to store. After much thought, he decided that potatoes and cabbage were the only options.

Cabbage is a native vegetable in my country and is now very common on people's tables.

However, potatoes had not yet appeared in our country at that time.

Spicy and sour potato shreds are Wen Meijiu's favorite dish. It's so miserable that she can't eat her favorite food. Just thinking about it makes her drool.

He spent more than half of the money in his account by buying 200 kilograms of cabbage. Looking at the only 58 yuan left, Wen Meijiu couldn't help but bought two kilograms of dried chilies, some seasonings, and 25 kilograms of potatoes online.

After finishing all this, Wen Meijiu left the space, took out a few cabbages, put them in the backpack he brought with him, and went back.

Putting down the backpack containing the cabbages, Wen Meijiu asked Ma Rulan and Qi Wenjing to wash and cut the vegetables.

After a while, her mother came over and saw this scene. She was surprised and asked her in a low voice:

“Where did this dish come from?”

My mother didn’t remember that there was cabbage at home, so we didn’t cook any vegetables during the whole journey because there was nothing to cook.

These days, with war and chaos everywhere, it’s good enough to have food to eat. How can you dare to hope for cooking?

Not to mention that no one is selling it, even if someone is selling it, this thing will definitely not be cheap. How much will it cost?

Wen Meijiu knew her mother would ask, and she had already thought of the answer. She leaned close to her mother's ear and said:

"Someone exchanged this with me for food, and it didn't cost me anything."

"Even if I don't spend money, food still costs money."

I know my mother thinks this thing is very expensive, that's why she is so worried.

“Nowadays, food is more valuable than this. Without food, you will starve to death, but without vegetables, you will not starve to death.

So, I gave him five pounds of cornmeal in exchange for these.”

The loss was only five pounds of cornmeal. Although she felt sad, after weighing the pros and cons, my mother decided it was not too great a loss. She grumbled a few words and left.

After his mother left, Wen Meijiu took out two potatoes from his arms and asked:

"Wenjing, can you do this?"

Qi Wenjing put down the work in her hands, wiped her hands on her clothes, walked over, picked up the potato and looked at it again and again, but couldn't figure out what it was, so she said:

"What is this? It should be steamed and eaten, right?"

Wen Meijiu nodded and said:

"This was given to me as a gift when I was buying vegetables. They said it was called potato. Not only can it be steamed, but it can also be fried, deep-fried, or stewed. It's delicious. It all depends on how you cook it."

Wen Meijiu picked up one of the potatoes, washed it, peeled it with a knife, and then cut it into thin strips to demonstrate to her.

Qi Wenjing learned quickly. She took the knife from Wen Meijiu and cut not only quickly, but also evenly and finely.

After she washed and cut all the potatoes, Wen Meijiu instructed her to rinse the shredded potatoes with clean water several times to remove excess starch, then throw them into the boiling pot, blanch them in hot water for a few minutes, and then take them out and drain them.

Pour oil into the pot, Wen Meijiu casually broke off two dried chilies and threw them in, then added some seasonings, and then poured all the shredded potatoes in.

Soon, the aroma of potatoes filled the air, mixed with the fragrance of chili peppers, making people want to take a few more sniffs.

"Miss, what kind of seasoning is this?"

"Yes, it smells so good, it's amazing!"

Ma Rulan and Qi Wenjing were both conquered by the fragrance and couldn't help but ask questions together.

"This red thing is called chili pepper. It can be used to stir-fry any dish. As long as you put it in, everyone will eat half an extra bowl of rice."

Chili peppers had not yet been introduced to our country at that time, and Wen Meijiu patiently explained it to them, hoping to find fellow Taoists with the same taste.

In his previous life, Wen Meijiu loved adding chili peppers to stir-fried dishes, so much so that later on, when he ate stir-fried dishes without chili peppers, he felt bland in his mouth.
