A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman
Chapter 17 Discussing Business
Huang Mulin then whispered to Huang Jinlin, "Fourth brother, seafood is quite fishy and needs ginger wine to remove the smell. You can try it later."
Huang Jinlin looked at his sister in surprise, but asked nothing and turned to experiment.
Ginger can be used at will, but liquor is hard to get. It was hidden by his father, so he had to go to his father for consultation. However, in order to eat this seafood that he had never tasted before, Huang Bo was still willing to give some.
Huang Jinlin dug out all the seashell meat, put water in a large pot, and then put the plate of seashell meat and the uneaten meat buns into the pot to steam. He also put some shredded ginger on the seashell meat.
Huang Jinlin poured some rice wine mixed with water into the pot, fearing that the strong smell of wine would dilute the freshness of the seafood. On another stove, rice porridge made from a mixture of brown rice and corn was cooked.
Soon, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of meat, which was different from pork and fish, with a fresh smell that was a bit fishy.
Huang Jinlin opened the lid and took a look, making sure the meat was cooked before taking it out with a rag to protect his hands. The aroma in the kitchen became stronger, and Huang Mulin, who was strolling nearby, immediately went into the kitchen.
"Mumu, look." Huang Jinlin pointed at the seashell meat: "This meat is white and tender. I wonder what it tastes like."
It would be nice if there were some chili peppers, Huang Mulin thought.
There were no chili peppers in this time and space. She had asked her parents indirectly before, and they said there were only simple condiments such as onions, ginger, and peppercorns. For Huang Mulin, who loved spicy food, this deprived her of a great deal of culinary pleasure.
"Fourth brother, go get some minced garlic, pour some soy sauce, and add some heated lard. Don't we have some lemons at home? Squeeze some lemon juice into the soy sauce."
Huang Bo picked the green lemons from the back mountain. They can be soaked in salt to make salted lemons, which are especially appetizing when paired with porridge in summer. The pickled salted lemons can also be used to soak in water for drinking, which has a heat-relief effect.
"it is good."
Huang Jinlin did everything he was told.
The average rural household has very few seasonings. Oil and salt are standard. Farmers mostly boil their vegetables in water and add a little salt to give them a little flavor. As for oil, they buy refined lard once or twice a year and store it in small ceramic jars. They are reluctant to use more when cooking.
For example, they use soy sauce, ginger, garlic, etc. when cooking, which is rare in the countryside.
Huang Bo and his wife are especially good to their daughter, and are also generous and caring to their sons. The fourth son loves to cook and often has his own ideas. He begs them for more seasonings and ingredients, and they try their best to give them to him within their means.
The eldest and second child have not shown any needs for the time being, only the third child loves to read.
They couldn't afford valuable things like books, but fortunately, the grandpa and uncle from the He family cared about them and gave them several miscellaneous notebooks, which were all treasures of the third brother.
Huang Bo remembered the kindness of his father-in-law and brother-in-law, and thought that he would do his best to help them if they needed help in the future.
Huang Jinlin prepared the dipping sauce according to his sister's instructions, then used chopsticks to take out a small piece of seashell meat, dipped it in the mixed soy sauce, and put it into his mouth.
Huang Jinlin didn't know how to express the tender white meat with a slightly sour soy sauce, the spicy taste of ginger and the fragrance of lard, but he knew a feeling.
good to eat!
It was a delicious taste he had never tasted before!
He quickly picked up a small piece for his sister and put it into her mouth. Seeing her eating happily with her eyes squinted, Huang Jinlin felt very satisfied.
Huang Mulin was thinking that although she verbally stated what needed to be put in, how to mix them in order to make the dipping sauce taste better required the chef to have a natural sensitivity.
This was the first time Huang Jinlin prepared this dipping sauce, and it surprisingly tasted this good. He really has a talent for it.
When He Hui Niang entered the kitchen, she saw the brother and sister eating seashell meat. From their satisfied expressions, she knew that the dish was a success.
"Is it delicious?" she asked.
The brother and sister looked back at He Hui Niang and nodded repeatedly: "Mom, it's delicious, come and try it."
After tasting the food, He Hui Niang felt that the money was not wasted. It was the first time she had eaten seafood in her 20-year life, and the taste was amazing.
Soon, Huang Bo and his sons who had gone to work in the fields came back. They set the table for dinner, and everyone in the family praised Huang Jinlin for his delicious cooking and the fresh seafood.
Only Huang Jinlin knew that this was all thanks to his sister.
After dinner, Huang Jinlin found an opportunity to call Huang Mulin aside and asked her, "Mumu, can you cook?"
Huang Mulin thought about it and nodded: "Fourth brother, I should be able to cook."
Huang Jinlin was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should ask.
In fact, Huang Mulin was also a little hesitant, not sure whether to tell his family about the space.
It's not that she was worried that her parents and brothers would be corrupt and harm her, it's just that it's really hard to explain, especially when it involves the idea of past life.
However, after living together for a long time, her family will always find that she is different from ordinary people, and many things require her parents and brothers to step in and explain things clearly to everyone's benefit.
If she thinks further ahead, she will have a good excuse to cover up anything unreasonable she does in the future.
Huang Mulin thought of this, pulled Huang Jinlin, and called a few brothers to go to his parents' room.
"What's going on here?"
The couple who were chatting saw their children all come into the house and asked curiously.
"Dad, Mom, Mu Mu has something to say."
As she spoke, she pushed her brothers into the house, looked outside the empty room, closed the door, and then slowly spoke.
She concealed the existence of the space, and only said that the last time she suddenly had a high fever and fell into a coma, it was because she entered a very mysterious place in her sleep, where she learned cooking from a cook, and also learned planting and breeding techniques from several masters.
At that time she just thought it was a dream, but later when she saw Huang Jinlin cooking she naturally knew how to cook better dishes, and then she realized that it was not just a dream, but she really learned something.
In the days that followed, she often dreamed of that place after falling asleep, and she was always able to learn things from the masters, so she understood many things that others didn't know.
The reason I never told my family was because I was worried they wouldn’t believe me, and there was no special opportunity to say it out loud.
Everyone found it incredible after hearing this, but their daughter/sister had indeed been behaving a little strangely recently, and they were also puzzled, but they all tacitly agreed not to ask.
I didn't expect it to be so magical.
Huang Mulin and other family members slowly digested the news. She believed that they were willing to accept and protect her as she was.
"Mumu," Huang Jinlin said, "Can you teach me how to cook? I want to learn."
"Okay, Fourth Brother." Huang Mulin was willing: "I also want Fourth Brother to learn how to cook. We can go to the town to sell food and make money, so that the brothers can have money to go to the town's private school."
These words made the third brother Huang Xilin's eyes light up differently.
When Huang Bo and his wife saw this, they were moved.
The future of our children really needs to be considered carefully.
If there is an opportunity to turn their lives around, they do not want their children to spend their whole lives digging in the fields for food. They hope that they can have their own ambitions and achieve them.
Huang Qilin didn't care. He was the eldest son in the family and he would have to support his parents in the future, so he had no objection to staying in the village.
The second and fourth sons' eyes also lit up; to them, being able to do business and cook delicious food was what they pursued.
