A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman

The housekeeper took Huang Jinlin to the kitchen.

At this time, the chefs had already prepared the food, and Huang Jinlin only needed to add one or two of his specialties.

Huang Jinlin didn't expect that there was fermented bean curd in the kitchen. It was perfect for his cooking.

The chef of the mansion was a little puzzled at first, but when he saw Huang Jinlin skillfully handling various ingredients with his knife, he realized that he was an expert.

Looking at the child who is about eight or nine years old, his movements are very sophisticated.

After Huang Jinlin fried a plate of braised pork with fermented bean curd, the chef of the mansion couldn't help but come forward to ask for advice.

This fermented bean curd is a condiment that has been talked about a lot recently, but after buying it, he still didn’t know how to make it delicious. He tried it in some dishes, but the taste always felt wrong.

Looking at the fermented bean curd braised pork cooked by Huang Jinlin, the aroma is overflowing and makes people salivate. This is a qualified dish.

Huang Jinlin did not hide anything and told the chef some details, but he also reminded the chef that the recipe had been purchased by the Tang family and could only be made and consumed by them and could not be passed on to others.

The cook was secretly shocked, but responded respectfully on the surface.

Huang Jinlin also made a dish of pork ribs with fermented bean curd and a dish of stir-fried vegetables with fermented bean curd, and asked the servants to take them to the dining room along with other dishes.

He quickly went back to his room, washed up, changed his clothes, and then went to the restaurant.

Yang Lijun and others chatted with Zhao Wenbo, talking about local customs and practices, and the children listened with great interest.

After the servants came in and put the dishes on the table, they washed their hands and sat down at the table together, waiting for Huang Jinlin. Soon he came over, Zhao Wenbo picked up his chopsticks, and the others also started to eat.

Zhao Wenbo first tried the braised pork with fermented bean curd, mainly because the aroma of this dish was particularly appetizing and it was also a dish he had never seen before.

Salty and fresh.

Zhao Wenbo tasted it carefully, swallowed it, and asked Huang Jinlin: "Did you make this?"

"I made it." Huang Jinlin replied, "And this pork ribs with fermented bean curd and this stir-fried vegetables with fermented bean curd, I made them too."

After thinking for a while, he added: "The fermented bean curd is produced in our workshop, the only one of its kind."

Zhao Wenbo was surprised again.

He didn't know about fermented bean curd originally.

When he went back to Bofeng County to visit his relatives, maybe it was because the weather was too hot, or it was because of the water and soil, his appetite was not very good. The servants bought him some fermented bean curd that was said to have just come into the market, and it was not cheap.

He picked up a little and tasted it, and immediately his appetite was aroused, so he was able to eat well.

These days, he has it with almost every meal.

"Is it unique to your family?"

If I remember correctly, the servant said he bought it at the Tang family's restaurant.

"Yes. We have cooperation with the Tang family. Except for Linhai Town, all places are bought and sold by the Tang family."

No wonder.

The guests enjoyed the meal very much. Before Zhao Wenbo left, he told Huang Xilin that if he had time, he could go to the next door to ask him questions.

Huang Xilin nodded happily.

Yang Lijun and Huang Mulin smiled at each other. They gained a lot from this trip.

Over the next few days, they went out for a stroll every day to experience the local customs and culture. They also ate a lot of local specialties and snacks, and their faces became rounder.

Huang Xilin went to the next door to see Zhao Wenbo three times, and his understanding of poetry was greatly improved, and he had even more respect for Zhao Wenbo.

Through these contacts with Huang Xilin, Zhao Wenbo also had some ideas. He had not accepted any students for a long time, and Huang Xilin made him very satisfied.

They stayed in Bofeng County for five days and were about to set off back to Linhai Town.

Yang Lijun took Huang Mulin and Huang Xilin to say goodbye to Zhao Wenbo.

"Going back now?"

Zhao Wenbo felt a little reluctant.

The little girl Huang Mulin told him several jokes to amuse him, which made him laugh so hard. He also liked this little girl.

Although the younger generations in the family are close to him, they always have some baggage, unlike Huang Mulin, who does whatever he wants, casual, straightforward and cute.

"Daddy is busy at home alone, so pitiful."

The little girl's face is getting thicker and thicker.

"Grandpa Taishi, if you are free, you can come to Linhai Town to play with us. We can make you a seafood dinner."

"Hahahaha~Okay, if I can arrange it, I'll go to Linhai Town to find you."

"It's settled. If you come to Linhai Town, come to the Huang's canteen to find us."

Huang Mulin waved goodbye, and Huang Xilin stepped forward and bowed respectfully, thanking him for his guidance over the past few days.

"Master, I'm taking the children home." Yang Lijun said, "If you return to Beijing and see my husband, please tell him not to worry too much about us."

"Will do."

When it was dark, they returned to Linhai Town. After Huang Mulin and others got off the carriage, Old Wang drove the carriage to take Yang Lijun back to the embroidery shop.

Huang Bo finally waited for his wife and children to come home. He happily opened a jar of wine and listened to his son and daughter telling him interesting stories on the road and in the county.

A few more days of peace passed, and the oven customized by Huang Mulin was completed and delivered.

During this period, Huang Mulin asked Yang Lijun to help buy some wheat, and asked Dong Lin and others to grind it into powder, which is modern flour.

She also taught them how to distinguish between high-gluten flour and low-gluten flour, the difference in taste, etc.

The price of wheat is slightly higher than that of brown rice, and it requires manpower to grind the wheat, which is costly, so the price of bread will naturally not be low.

Huang Mulin asked Dong Lin to add some rapeseed oil to the flour, knead the dough, let it rest, put it in the steamer, cover it with a cloth and wait for it to ferment.

In addition, some dried meat, peanuts, melon seeds, chopped peach pulp, chopped apple pulp, etc. were prepared for use.

Milk was a rare commodity in this era. Huang Mulin couldn’t find any in Linhai Town, and it was not convenient to buy it somewhere farther away for fear that it would go bad, so he gave up temporarily.

You can make bread without milk.

He Huiniang and Yang Lijun also helped.

After nearly an hour, the dough had finished fermenting. Dong Lin took it out and kneaded it again. Then, according to Huang Mulin's request, he cut it into pieces of equal size, kneaded it into circles, and let it ferment again.

While the dough was fermenting, Huang Mulin went to the kitchen to get a fire, burned charcoal in the yard, and placed it in the reserved space outside the iron stove to heat it and bake it at high temperature.

After the second fermentation, Dong Lin coated the dough with egg liquid and honey water. He then used Huang Mulin's special heat-insulating gloves to carefully put the iron tray containing the dough into the already very hot oven.

When baking bread, you must always pay attention to the temperature to ensure that it remains at a high temperature during the baking process. Therefore, you cannot leave and must always replenish the charcoal fire and clean the carbon ash.

After a while, the sweet aroma of noodles wafted out.

After a quarter of an hour, Huang Mulin said it was ready. Dong Lin opened the oven and the sweet smell that came to her face made her excited.

Not to mention the people gathered around the bread, even the Dengda couple who were cooking, and the guests who came to eat in the front hall, could smell it.

Someone asked immediately.

Huang Mulin asked Deng Da to go to the front yard to explain first, saying that it was a new food that was being developed and would be sold in the town in the future, and it was still in the trial stage.

Deng Da took the order and left.
