I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

After finishing their business, Tang Wenhao and Shen Xiao stood up and prepared to leave.

"Brother Shen Xiao, please stay for lunch!" Xu Congyi called Shen Xiao. Seeing Tang Wenhao turning to look at her, Xu Congyi's eyes curved. This Tang Wenhao was also a foodie. "Mr. Tang is the same. Let's stay for lunch together!"

"Okay!" Tang Wenhao returned to his seat. "I've heard that you're a great cook. Tasting is worse than hearing. I'll stay for dinner."

Shen Xiao was a little hesitant. After all, the noodle stall was only open at noon. If he stayed at Xu's house to eat, he would not have time to go back to help at noon, and his grandfather would not be able to take care of it all by himself.

"I'll have the servant drive the carriage back and ask two people from my pastry shop to help out at your grandfather's noodle stall." Tang Wenhao saw Shen Xiao's concerns, but he knew Shen Xiao, and continued, "I won't work for you for free, you have to pay me!"

Shen Xiao nodded. In fact, he also wanted to try Xu Congyi's cooking again. Now that the noodle stall issue was resolved, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

Let the two drink tea and rest in the house. When Xu Congyi walked out of the house, Xu the Hunter and Li Dahua were sitting outside at the stone table. Xu the Hunter said that he was not worried, but he still waited in the yard with his wife. He was afraid that if his daughter needed his help and called him, he would not be able to hear her.

As soon as Xu Cong saw his parents outside, he already knew what they meant. "Mom and Dad, don't worry. We had a very pleasant talk and signed the contract. I will invite Brother Shen Xiao and Young Master Tang to have lunch at my house. What ingredients do we have?" Xu Cong said as he walked towards the kitchen.

Old man Xu and his mother went to visit relatives in the next village. Xu Congwen and Xu Cong'an were not at home at noon, so there were five people eating lunch. There were vegetables, potatoes and beans in the kitchen. Xu Congyi went to the warehouse again and saw a few pheasants that hunter Xu had just hunted in the morning. Xu Congyi calculated that he hadn't eaten clay pot chicken for a long time, so today's lunch would be farmer's clay pot chicken. It would be delicious if eaten directly from a big pot, and it would be very delicious with the pickled shredded radish made by Li Dahua herself.

Xu Congyi asked his father to pick the fattest pheasant, pluck the hair and chop it into pieces, while his mother helped to peel potatoes and pick beans. Xu Congyi himself cut some large slices of fatty pork. The Xu family usually used rapeseed oil for cooking. Pheasant meat is relatively dry, so it is best to use the fat to stir-fry the oil and use it to stew the pheasant, which can also add fragrance.

Heat oil in a pan and stir-fry the fatty meat slices. When the fat in the meat slices is almost dried out, add the chopped and cleaned pheasant and stir-fry for a while to dry out the moisture. Pour in the dried chili peppers, onions, ginger, star anise and Sichuan peppercorns and stir-fry. Then add a little white wine to remove the fishy smell, soy sauce, a piece of sugar, a spoonful of soybean paste and a little more salt. Add boiled water and add more water. Pheasant is very resistant to stewing and needs to be stewed for more than an hour.

While the meat was stewing, Li Dahua kneaded a large piece of dough as her daughter had instructed and kept it aside. Xu divided the dough into several small pieces and told his mother to wait for about half an hour before soaking all the pieces in water.

The rest of the time was spent waiting. Li Dahua asked Xu Congyi to leave the kitchen and go accompany the guests. Xu Congyi left the kitchen and entered the main room. He saw that the two were not chatting. Tang Wenhao was pacing in the room with some boredom, while Shen Xiao was drinking tea calmly.

"Are you feeling a bit bored? I'll take you two for a walk."

"Okay!" Tang Wenhao responded readily and turned to look at Shen Xiao, "Stop drinking tea, let's go out for a walk."

The three of them left the main hall, and Xu Congyi first took them to see the rabbits they raised. The rabbits had a strong reproductive ability, and the number had grown from the initial two to more than twenty now. Xu Congyi also planned to expand the rabbit house and buy some rabbits from the space to participate in the breeding. After all, she came from the modern era, and she also knew that inbreeding in rabbits was not good and could easily lead to genetic diseases. So for the rabbits born by the two rabbits, Xu Congyi instructed her family to separate the male and female to avoid inbreeding.

"It's a little too late this time. Next time I'll make you cold rabbit using the seasonings I bought from the foreigners. It's delicious."

Tang Wenhao was a businessman, and he immediately saw the business opportunity. "The seasoning bought from foreigners? You mean we don't have this seasoning here? Then if it's used well, it will be unique?"

"Yes," Xu Congyi still liked to deal with smart people and immediately understood what she meant.

"Excuse me, Miss Xu, where can I find the foreigners who sell this seasoning? I want to buy some and cooperate with Miss Xu in the cold rabbit business."

"It's not far from Tang Ji. I don't remember which street it is. He sells seasonings there every morning. I think he's gone today. You can go there tomorrow!"

Xu Congyi planned to disguise himself as a foreigner and then pull a large cart of chili peppers to sell. This would be equivalent to providing a clear route for the large amount of chili peppers, making it much more convenient to eat chili peppers.
