Jiang Qiu did not enjoy the benefits of "Jia Le Men" emanating from Qingyi City, but those who followed her to learn skills during the exile all enjoyed them!
Haiyan Village.
Chen Liping's father was once the prefect of Jingzhao. After he chose the wrong side, he was dismissed from his post and exiled thousands of miles away. All the money in his home was confiscated, and he only had his mother's dowry left to support himself during his exile.
His wife was originally the daughter of a merchant. She married him in order to curry favor with the rich and powerful and gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Now the oldest is sixteen and the youngest is eight. After losing power in his family, she naturally did not want to be exiled thousands of miles away, so she divorced him and returned home. He took his five children with him on the way to Qiongzhou.
When my father was being chased by bandits, he was in a daze and had completely lost the will to escape, so he fell into depravity and was hit by the bandits' knives, and blood splattered on the spot.
As for my mother, after arriving in Qiongzhou, she lived in an unprecedentedly poor house and could not bear it any longer, so her old illness relapsed. In order to treat her, the money in the family kept decreasing until there was no money left. Then, under the cover of night while everyone in the family was asleep, my mother committed suicide.
Both his parents were dead, and he was once a carefree young man who almost committed suicide by jumping into the river with his five children!
Fortunately, he learned a lot of skills from Jiang Qiu. His city was called Xiuzhu, and there happened to be a lot of bamboos. For this reason, he specially selected a snack called - Bamboo Tube Rice!
The morning mist had not yet dissipated, and smoke from the village was rising. Chen Liping, wearing coarse clothes and holding an axe and a machete, walked into the nearby bamboo forest.
Dewdrops from the bamboo leaves dripped onto the tips of her hair, but Chen Liping had no time to watch and was only focused on finding a suitable bamboo.
He picked a large, lush, solid bamboo and cut off a piece with great effort.
The sound of the machete hitting the bamboo was crisp and powerful, echoing in the bamboo forest in the early morning.
Chen Liping brought the bamboo back to his simple kitchen and carefully cut it into appropriate lengths, leaving a node on one end and the other end smooth as a mirror.
"Dad, are we going to start a food business?"
His eldest son woke up and asked.
"That's right. We can't do anything else now. But this bamboo tube rice costs four cents per serving, and we don't know how the business is going."
Chen Liping was a little worried.
In order to sell the bamboo tube rice, he even sold the inkstone given to him by the great scholar he admired, and in this remote place, he only sold it for three taels of silver.
Chen Liping felt heartbroken.
I secretly made up my mind that if I could make money from bamboo tube rice, I would redeem the inkstone!
He carefully poured the washed rice and clean water into the bamboo tube in just the right proportion.
His children were also helpful.
Chen Liping filled every inch of the bamboo tube.
He then covered the bamboo tube with a wide bamboo leaf and tied it tightly with a hemp rope to ensure that the rice would not leak out during the steaming process.
Next, Chen Liping placed the bamboo tube into the simple steamer that had been built. The firewood under the steamer had been lit, and the flames were licking the bottom of the steamer.
Steam lingers, and the bamboo rice slowly absorbs moisture from the water while maintaining the chewiness of the glutinous rice. As time goes by, the aroma of the bamboo rice becomes stronger and stronger, and the eyes are full of anticipation for the upcoming meal. The fragrance of bamboo and the sweetness of rice are all around, making people salivate.
When the bamboo tubes were ready, Chen Liping went to Xiuzhu City to sell them. For the sake of money, he could even shout loudly, "Bamboo tube rice, delicious bamboo tube rice!"
Some people came to take a look, but after knowing the price, they left. A bowl of meat noodles only cost three cents, and his rice with only a little meat cost four cents. It was really a rip-off!!!
Chen Liping was getting anxious as he saw that it was almost noon and no one was willing to buy. He had eaten bamboo tube rice before and it was very delicious. Once you have tried it, you will never forget it. But the problem was that no one was buying.
"Dad, why don't you stop Miss Jiang from talking and shout 'Jia Le Men'?"
"Jia Lemen, we have only been in Qiongzhou for a short time, how could anyone recognize us?" Chen Liping frowned slightly.
"You can also lie and say that it's something good that we brought from the capital! Otherwise our meal will be wasted."
"Ok."
Chen Liping shouted with the attitude of giving it a try: "This is the recipe handed down from the ancestors of the world-famous 'Jia Le Men'. It is a delicacy that you can never eat anywhere else. Bamboo tube rice. Come and have a look at the bamboo tube rice."
The businessman who was passing by him paused and said, "You mean Jialemen? The best and most joyful Jialemen?"
Chen Liping was surprised: "How did you know?"
"Your Grandmaster has developed bean sprouts. If you want to learn how to grow bean sprouts, you have to tell people who don't know your sect about the existence of your Jiale Sect. I originally thought that it was difficult to encounter Jiale Sect, or that you could only go to Qingyi City to taste the cooking of the head of Jiale Sect who collected delicacies from all over the world. I didn't expect to meet him here. Are you a disciple of Jiale Sect?"
Chen Liping was shocked and filled with joy. He did not expect that Miss Jiang could develop Jialemen to this point in such a short time. It turned out that the master was amazing. He nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I am a disciple of Jialemen, but I only learned five delicacies from the master. My master said that I can learn new dishes every year when I see her. Do you want to try our bamboo tube rice? It's really delicious."
After asking the price, the man paid for the bamboo tube rice directly and couldn't wait to eat it on the spot.
When the people around heard about the recent hot topic of Jialemen, they all came closer to look at the man. If it tasted good, they would also like to buy one.
It’s just that too many people know about Jialemen.
Moreover, bean sprouts taste good!
Then the food of their sect should not be bad.
The bamboo tube rice was cooked. The man carefully took out the bamboo tube, peeled off the bamboo leaves that sealed it, opened the bamboo lid, and a burst of hot air with a bamboo fragrance blew towards him.
The crystal clear rice, accompanied by the texture of the bamboo tube, looks particularly tempting.
He picked up a grain with chopsticks, blew on it gently, and put it into his mouth. The taste was something he had never tried before, a blend of the aroma of meat, coriander and rice, as well as the faint fragrance of bamboo.
“Delicious! This is the first time I’ve eaten such delicious food, it’s amazing!”
Hearing this, the crowd, who were already impatient, rushed forward to buy, and Chen Liping immediately packed the food for people with his eldest son.
He prepared thirty attempts.
The result is totally not enough!
"Please make some more for us to try."
"That's right, it's too little. I didn't even get to taste the craftsmanship of Jialemen."
"Jia Le Men is indeed the sect that developed bean sprouts. The bamboo tube rice tastes so good. If I wasn't full, I would have bought another portion!"
……
Chen Liping was overjoyed when he heard the customers' voices, and he assured them, "I will make 100 copies tomorrow, and I hope everyone will come and buy them."
"nature!"
“Maybe it’s not enough!”
"This bamboo tube rice is much more delicious than the watery noodles in the soup!"
Their discussion also gave Chen Liping hope of survival.
This ray of hope emanating from Qingyi City not only benefited him, but also all the disciples who studied under Jiang Qiu. Even in the remote Qiongzhou, they could earn at least two taels of silver every month and live a comfortable life.
