Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Most of the bamboo shoots in the house are dried by the three children.

Xu Wenyan and the others went out and brought back the bamboo shoots. Xiaohua, Rongrong and Xiaodong started to cook the bamboo shoots.

It has to be said that children from rural areas are capable and do their work efficiently, which doesn't make Xu Wenyan worry at all.

The several rice bags at home were almost filled with dried bamboo shoots, and Xu Wenyan thought about going to the county to have a look.

The reason why I didn’t think of selling them in the county before was because I really didn’t expect that the bamboo shoots could grow so fast without the obstruction of tall trees and leaves.

Especially after a few days of rain.

It was still dark that day.

The couple prepared to go to the county. Due to the passing of Uncle Wenqiang, there were no ox carts in the village, so they had to hurry on their way.

Chen Sanlin carried a large backpack and Xu Wenyan carried a small one.

A large rice bag and half a wild boar were placed on Chen Sanlin's backpack. The bags were filled with bundles of bamboo shoots. Xu Wenyan's bag also had a few handfuls of water chestnuts.

Although it is a wild boar, its body is really small and is all bones.

Since there is still meat at home, I thought of exchanging it for some money.

It's a rare trip to the county, so I brought some more with me.

Along the way, Xu Wenyan was able to see a lot of good things, such as mulberry trees, prickly ash, wax gourds, and red fruit vines. In the summer, there will definitely be a lot of wild fruits in this mountain.

This also adds a glimmer of hope to this boring road.

"How is it? Are you tired?" Chen Sanlin would look at the person next to him from time to time, fearing that he was tired.

Xu Wenyan lifted the backpack and said, "It's OK. I will definitely take a rest when I'm tired."

It took me nearly three hours to get into the county this time. After all, I gained some weight during this period, so I walked with more energy.

This county is much more depressed than when Xu Wenyan first arrived. There are fewer people doing business on the streets, and although prices have come down, they are still expensive.

Xu Wenyan didn't intend to waste time and walked straight towards the Baihua Tower.

"Hey, isn't this the guy selling persimmons?" Mr. Qian, the boss of Zuixianlou, smiled and walked a few steps from the store to the two of them.

"Boss Qian, how are you?" Xu Wenyan still had a deep impression of this boss who had extorted a few taels of silver from him.

Boss Qian's eyes instantly swept over the two people's backpacks: "What are you selling, little brother?"

As soon as Xu Wenyan put down the backpack, the waiter from Baihualou rushed over and said, "Brother Xu, you are here to sell things again!"

The waiter raised his voice deliberately because his boss was also in the store and he couldn't handle Boss Qian, this old fox.

Without waiting for Xu Wenyan to answer, Zhao Mei twisted her butt and came out of Baihua Tower and smiled at Xu Wenyan. After all, the many crabs she caught last time made the store a lot of money.

"Brother Xu, come and see me if you have time today."

Xu Wenyan thought to himself: “Fight! Fight!” As long as these two companies fight for it, he can sell it at a slightly higher price.

Xu Wenyan immediately became enthusiastic: "I'm here to sell bamboo shoots."

When they heard the word bamboo shoots, the three of them frowned slightly. This bamboo shoot shop has bamboo shoots, and it is not a rare thing.

Xu Wenyan also noticed the change in the expressions of several people, and immediately opened a sack of linen, revealing the tiny bamboo shoots inside: "My bamboo shoots are not ordinary bamboo shoots, they are water bamboo shoots. The ones we usually sell on the street are the big golden bamboo shoots, right?"

Zhao Mei and Boss Qian immediately became interested.

"It really is a different variety. I don't know how it tastes." Zhao Mei put her index finger on her red lips and thought seriously.

"That's easy. I'll borrow Boss Zhao's kitchen." Xu Wenyan also looked at Zhao Mei with a smile.

Seeing that Xu Wenyan was looking at Zhao Mei, Chen Sanlin simply pulled him into his arms and looked at Zhao Mei with an unfriendly look.

Zhao Mei just smiled lightly: "Okay, sister is waiting for your bamboo shoots."

"Hey, can I have a try too?" Boss Qian was anxious. Originally, their Zuixianlou had the first place, but since Baihualou had a seasonal dish, steamed crab.

A lot of his glory has been taken away from him, and he will not allow such a thing to happen again this time.

"Hmph, Boss Qian, are you going to have to submit to my Baihua Tower? Hmph, then please come in." Zhao Mei said casually and then went into Baihua Tower.

Although Zhao Mei scolded him, Boss Qian was only concerned about his own interests and didn't care about anything else.

You have to say that the kitchen of this big restaurant is different. It has everything, including onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rock sugar, chili peppers, and Sichuan peppercorns.

Xu Wenyan cut a piece of wild boar's leg bone. It was going to be sold anyway. If the two bosses liked the wild boar meat, he could make more money by selling it to them.

You can't be reluctant at this time.

After washing the shanks, put them into a pot and stew them in cold water. Then add a few pieces of wild boar meat, otherwise it will be too monotonous.

When the water is slightly hot, add ginger slices, peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon, and a rolled up whole onion and put them into the pot. Of course, today’s protagonist, bamboo shoots, are also indispensable.

The chef of Baihualou thought Xu Wenyan's cooking method was violent, just stewing it in one pot without any detailed steps. How could it be delicious?

"Then just wait for an hour." Xu Wenyan clapped his hands. Once the water boils, the fragrance will slowly overflow.

"Boss Qian, go back and wait. I'll send it to you when it's ready."

When Boss Qian heard that he had to wait so long, he couldn't sit still anymore. It was ridiculous to wait so long in the restaurant across the street.

With Xu Wenyan's excuse, Boss Qian agreed repeatedly: "Okay, okay, thank you for your trouble, Brother Xu."

"Easy to say."

After Boss Qian left, Zhao Mei crossed her arms and looked at Xu Wenyan with a smile: "Okay, everyone has left. Is there anything you want to tell your sister alone?"

Xu Wenyan scratched his head and said, "Sister Mei is very thoughtful." After that, Xu Wenyan changed his expression to a more serious one and said, "I want to sell Sister Mei a recipe, but I don't know if Sister Mei is not interested."

"Oh? That depends on what the recipe is." Obviously, this sentence is still very attractive to Zhao Mei.

"I noticed that there seems to be no fried food in the snack category of Sister Mei. How about I recommend some fried chicken to you?" Xu Wenyan's expression showed that he was determined to win. He often learned to make snacks at home.

It’s not because I can’t afford it, but it’s more cost-effective to make it myself.

"Then I have to take a look at the things too." Zhao Mei still had the charming smile on her face.

"Then we have to use the kitchen again. I just don't know if we can ask all the cooks in the kitchen to leave." The method of making popcorn chicken is not particularly difficult. If this chef only looks at it once, then he will have no point in selling the recipe.

Zhao Mei responded and took everyone out.

"Brother Chen, help me collect it outside."

"it is good."
