The poor little girl who traveled through the book, her father was lazy, her mother was stingy, and

Gu Changsheng settled down in Mingyi Hall.

In the past, the aunt who cleaned the academy was often absent from work because only a few boys from remote countries lived in the academy's dormitories.

Most of the students from the wealthy families in the town and from several wealthy villages near the town go to school as a day student.

But a few days ago, Young Master Gu applied to live in the school dormitory, which made her worried for a while.

Fortunately, Master Gu's two servants arranged for maids to clean the house, otherwise it would be a life-threatening task to clean a place that has been uninhabited for years.

However, she did not dare to slack off. She got up early every day and cleaned all the corners nearby.

Two days later, Gu Changsheng found that the phlegm in his throat had almost disappeared, and he no longer looked as lethargic as before.

I don’t cough at night, I sleep well, and the dark circles under my eyes are half gone.

Kangtai couldn't help but joked: "Ping An, you really hit the jackpot. Why wasn't I the one who went to Ruyi Tower that day?"

"What's wrong? You still want to steal my credit?"

Kangtai was envious: "You paid attention to the story that Miss Xiaoman told unintentionally. If it were me, I might just treat it as a story and forget about it."

Gu Changsheng interrupted Kangtai and said, "I think this story was told by Miss Xiaoman specifically to Ping'an. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen?"

"Young Master, this...Miss Xiaoman is younger than all of us, how would she know?" Kangtai asked.

"There are many strange things in the world. Besides, Miss Xiaoman's family can make delicious food such as ice-cold frozen and juicy steamed dumplings. Uncle Lin must have some luck. Ruyi Restaurant's new golden soup pickled fish and Ruyi grilled fish are probably the idea of ​​the Lin family."

Ping'an had no other thoughts. Since Miss Xiaoman knew the cause of the young master's cough, did she also know how to cure the cough?

"Master, why don't I go and ask Miss Xiaoman for help? She might know a prescription for curing the disease." Ping'an said urgently, and he couldn't wait to run to Shanglin Village right now.

"No hurry. It would be impolite to come to someone's house rashly." Gu Changsheng's palms were sweaty.

He was afraid of being disappointed, so he didn't dare to look for Lin Xiaoman.

He had already experienced the ridicule and laughter of his childhood friends and the cautious looks of his neighbors at an age when he was not old enough to bear it.

Every time my father went to great lengths to invite a famous doctor, the young child would be full of hope and excited. But after the famous doctor shook his head, he would slowly become disappointed and numb.

After so many times, he no longer had any hope.

But this time it was different. After arriving at Mingyi Hall, his cough gradually improved, just like the noble young man in Miss Xiaoman's story.

Would she have a prescription for a cough?

-

Lin Xiaoxue completely lost contact.

Wang Chunxiu no longer stared at her daughter's door in a daze.

Life must go on.

She seemed to have come to her senses and completely cut off contact with the Wang family.

She gets up before dawn every day, does laundry, cooks, and goes to the fields with Lin Dahai.

In his spare time, he and Lin Dahai went from street to street selling bamboo baskets.

In the evening, when her son and Lin Dahai went fishing in the river, she cooked at home.

He turned a deaf ear to Mrs. Lin's sarcasm and ridicule, and went to a chicken farmer in the village to exchange five chickens.

Deliberate busyness made them stop thinking about Lin Xiaoxue, and gradually, their lives got back on track.

As the Ruyilou grilled fish business becomes more and more prosperous, the demand for grass carp increases.

Each family increased their business from two to four, earning almost forty cents a day.

At the end of the month, a family that does not miss a day can save one or two taels of silver.

This made everyone in Shanglin Village very happy.

At this rate, it won’t be long before I can save up several taels of silver!

Gradually, the aroma of meat could be smelled in the smoke from the kitchens in Shanglin Village.

Today east, tomorrow west.

In this way, Lin Xiaoman could cook delicious food every other day without any inconvenience.

Today Lin Xiaoman made braised lion's head. The plum-sized lion's head was wrapped in secret soup and was shiny.

Lin Guyu took a bite and his mouth was full of oil.

Served with scallion pancake, you can take a bite of pancake and a bite of meat, leaving your mouth with a lingering fragrance.

Guyu was still biting on the lion's head meat, puffing his lips and muttering, "Lion's head meat is even better than braised pork. Sister, is today the Chinese New Year? This is the most delicious meat I have ever eaten!"

Lin Jingzhe laughed out loud.

"Guyu is not the New Year. When those female rabbits give birth to baby rabbits, I will sell a few more male rabbits, buy some meat later, and ask your sister to cook more."

Lin Xiaoman smiled as she looked at the cheap old man who had clearly arranged the work for her and said, "You can ask me to do it. You chop the meat and I'll be responsible for the work."

The lion's head is so delicious that he would be willing to do all the work from now on, let alone chopping the meat.

Lin Jingzhe nodded, "Xiaoman, I'll do whatever you ask me to do."

Li Taohua laughed and scolded, "You little bastard, you refuse to do something when I ask you to do it. So you listen to your sister the most?"

Lin Dajiang pretended to add fuel to the fire, "Taohua, a grown-up son is no longer under the control of his mother. When Jingzhe gets married and listens to his wife every day, you will be so angry that you will die!"

"Then we should separate as soon as possible, and we two old people can live on our own and enjoy peace and quiet."

"Mom!" Lin Jingzhe blushed. He was only twelve!

He talks about his wife every day.

He didn't want to get married. If he married a wife like his second aunt, she would give the money he earned from selling rabbits to her parents. It was scary to think about it.

Lin Xiaoman looked at her brother, whose face was red and he was embarrassed. In order to prevent the anger from reaching her, she spoke up hastily, "Brother, since you promised to make such a delicious meatball, let's make more meatballs in the future. It's cold now, so they can be kept for two days. For example, for carrot meatballs, cut the carrot into shreds, wrap it with fat and lean meat fillings, fry it in oil, and with a 'sizzle' sound, the carrot will not be greasy, and you can eat one bite at a time..."

Lin Jingzhe drooled after hearing this.

His imagination of food scenes is so strong that he would imagine them on his own.

"No, don't say that. I'll go to the market to buy radishes tomorrow."

"No, I want to study Shaomai tomorrow."

Lin Jingzhe asked: "What is Shaomai?"

"A new food, you will know it after you make it."

There is glutinous rice in Lin Xiaoman's space, but he has to go to the grain store to buy some. From then on, he adds a little glutinous rice from the space into the space every day, just like the white flour at home, mixing it little by little. Although his family members are puzzled, after a long time they think that Lin Xiaoman bought it for cooking.

-

Shopkeeper Tong received a letter from the young master.

Golden Soup Pickled Fish and Ruyi Grilled Fish are extremely popular in Lin'an Prefecture. There are not enough grass carp, so they can only be sold in limited quantities each day.

Shopkeeper Tong secretly mentioned this matter to the Lin family, which made Lin Xiaoman start to yearn for Lin'an Prefecture again.

"Uncle Tong, how much does it cost to buy a shop in Lin'an Prefecture? It doesn't have to be a particularly good shop, an ordinary one will do, and it doesn't have to be very big."

"If it's just a shop, a breakfast shop would cost about 200 taels. If there's a yard behind the shop, it's hard to say. Whether it's a shop with two or three yards, the size of the yard, and whether it's new or old will all affect the price. A shop with a yard would cost at least 400 taels."

Li Taohua took a breath of cold air.

Lin Xiaoman thought it was normal.

Although she had not seen how lively Lin'an Prefecture was, the three-courtyard house they saw last time would cost nearly a hundred taels.

My father told me that Dayi Town is a lower town, and a shop with a courtyard in a lower town costs nearly 100 taels.

A shop with a courtyard in Jialin County would cost at least two or three hundred taels. Lin'an Prefecture is the capital city, and every inch of land is worth a lot of money, not to mention the price.

You still have to work hard to make money.

There are two most difficult things in this world.

One is to put other people's money into your own pocket.

The second is to impose your own thoughts on other people’s heads.

Their family is now doing the most difficult thing in the world.

After selling breakfast, the Lin family bought meat and flour for the next day. Lin Xiaoman also bought five kilograms of glutinous rice.

When he got home, Lin Xiaoman soaked a pound of glutinous rice.

This caused Li Taohua to look towards Nuomi frequently.

Are you surprised what delicious food Xiaoman is going to make with glutinous rice?

What else can glutinous rice be used for besides making rice dumplings?

In the evening, Lin Xiaoman put the soaked glutinous rice into the bamboo steamer and steamed it for quarter of an hour.

Then he called Lin Jingzhe to chop the meat.

There was no corn or green beans at this time of year, unlike modern times when we have refrigerators and frozen foods to buy.

Even if there is a refrigerator in her space, it is simply unrealistic to freeze corn and green beans in the refrigerator in her space.

If siu mai is popular, how much corn and green beans does she have to freeze in a year?

Besides, she was probably too bold. If there were corn and green beans in winter, how would she explain their sources?

So this time she made a castrated version of siomai.

The siu mai only contains glutinous rice, meat cubes, chopped green onions and finely chopped chicken mushrooms.

Only a little bit of chicken mushroom is added, mainly to enhance the flavor.

Afterwards, she used white flour to make the skin and rolled it into a skin thinner than dumpling skin.

After making the skin, start frying the fillings for the siu mai.

Fry chopped garlic and onion in oil until fragrant, add the diced meat and chopped chicken mushrooms, add sauces and seasonings, and stir-fry continuously.

When almost done, add a handful of green onions.

A small pot of glutinous rice is ready.

Lin Xiaoman pressed wrinkles into the thin skin, rolled the glutinous rice into a small ball, put it into the thin skin, and squeezed it into the shape of steamed buns.

One after another, a pound of glutinous rice was used to make more than twenty small steamed dumplings.

Unsteamed siu mai looks ordinary.

Under the watchful eyes of Lin Jingzhe and Lin Guyu, Lin Xiaoman put the steamed dumplings into a bamboo steamer and steamed them for a quarter of an hour.

The waiting time seemed particularly long, until a faint fragrance emanated from the steamer and Lin Jingzhe's nose moved.

He fanned the fragrance into Lin Xiaoman's nose with his hand, leaving her speechless.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Xiaoman opened the steamer.

At this time, the thin skin of the siu mai has become crystal clear, and the glutinous rice grains wrapped in it are plump and fragrant.

Lin Dajiang and Li Taohua, who had just returned from the fields, smelled the scent as soon as they entered the door.

"Boss, Xiaoman has made delicious food again."

Lin Dajiang scooped some water from the tub to wash his hands, and couldn't wait to go in and find out what was going on.

"Didn't Xiaoman say she wanted to make shaomai? I have to go check it out."

The four little ones in the kitchen heard their parents' voices. Lidong reacted the fastest and rushed into his mother's arms like a firecracker.

Xiao Guyu took short steps and ran over to hug Lin Dajiang, "Dad, sister made shaomai, they smell delicious."

Lin Dajiang chuckled: "Is Guyu drooling?"

Lin Guyu suddenly covered her mouth and shook her head, "Uh, no."

"Is this siomai?" Lin Dajiang looked at the siomai in the steamer with thin skin, large fillings and crystal clear texture, and his appetite was immediately aroused.

It looks very appetizing, but I wonder what it tastes like.

Lin Xiaoman put the three-drawer steamer on the table. "It's a snack before dinner. Everyone, try it. Shaomai is two cents each."

The steamed buns were still hot after coming out of the pot. Lin Xiaoman took a few bowls and put two each for Guyu and Lidong and placed them in the bowls to cool.

"It's very hot, Guyu, don't burn your little mouth."

"Lidong, let's eat later."

Guyu said yes loudly, and Lidong was smart and followed his sister and said yes too.

In fact, he might not have understood what Lin Xiaoman meant.

Lin Xiaoman pinched Lidong's chubby face and said, "Mom, look, Lidong is finally starting to gain weight."

"You are such a good sister. You cook delicious food for him every day. Won't you get fat?"

"We are not fat in Lidong."

In modern times, something like the Beginning of Winter is considered normal at best, but here, it is what others call a fat baby.

The steamed dumplings received unanimous praise from the entire Lin family. In this case, she planned to use the remaining four pounds of glutinous rice to make steamed dumplings and sell them tomorrow morning.

-

"The new steamed buns are delicious, big and plump. They only cost two cents each, and there are only eighty of them!"

As soon as the aroma wafted out of the Lin family breakfast shop, crisp shouts pierced the diners' eardrums.

“What is Shaomai?”

"It's made of glutinous rice. It's filling and delicious." Lin Xiaoman replied with a smile.

Anyone can taste the glutinous rice wrapped inside the steamed buns once they eat them, so there is no need to hide it.

As for whether the surrounding breakfast shops would follow suit, she had no way to stop it.

All you need to do is do your job well, make fresh food, earn clean money, and earn enough money to run the shop as soon as possible, then you can go to the county or Lin'an Prefecture to buy a shop.

When diners who come to buy the juicy dumplings hear that the Lin family has come up with a new delicacy, they will buy one or two to try it out.

They couldn’t stop eating after they had a taste. When they finished their breakfast and wanted to buy some more siomai, Lin’s siomai had been sold out.

"Oh, why did you only do this little?"

"I should have bought a few more. Oops!"

"I'm sorry, today is the first day and I only made 80 shaomai. I will make more tomorrow."

Lin Xiaoman explained with a smile.

I originally thought that after having siu mai, there might be some fried dumplings left over.

But by the end, the Lin family’s breakfast food, including juicy steamed dumplings, pancakes, fried dumplings and steamed buns, were all sold out.

The Lin family, who had been busy all morning, couldn't stop smiling.

It will be good after all the goods are sold out, Li Taohua smiled happily, thinking about going home to count the coins.

The Lin family pulled the cart back to the village, and Lin Xiaoman suggested that the family buy a donkey cart.

Although not all the family members can get on the donkey cart, with the donkey cart, they can take turns to rest for a while.

After hearing this, Lin Dajiang wanted to agree and glanced at Li Taohua's face before speaking.

Seeing that she was a little hesitant, he changed the topic and said, "Buy whatever you want, it's okay if we get tired!"

Li Taohua glanced at the head of the family and said slowly, "It's not impossible, but it might be too..."

Before she could finish the three words "high-profile", Lin Xiaoman hugged her and said, "Mom is the best. Let's go buy a donkey and order a donkey cart tomorrow!"

Seeing Xiaoman so happy, Li Taohua buried her words of rejection.

Buy it, buy it, don’t think she can’t see it.

The boss wants to buy it too!

Anyway, the money is earned by Xiaoman. As long as he doesn't spend it recklessly and spends it wisely, if the father and daughter want to buy a donkey cart, then they can buy it!
