Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

After Xiao Wan settled him down, she was ready to leave, but when she thought of what he had said to her just now, she couldn't help but snort. She threw all the account books to Fang Mingshan and left angrily, leaving Fang Mingshan still foolishly laughing at his office environment.

Back in the house, Xiao Wan handed the drafted agreement to Tian Shuang and asked her to give it to Fang Mingshan for signature. There were two copies of the agreement, with a three-month probation period. Some matters that needed attention and the remuneration were clearly stated in it.

If you pass the probation period, you will sign a one-year agreement. The salary during the probation period is two and a half taels of silver, and after the probation period, it will be five taels of silver per month.

Tian Shuang accepted the order with a smile. It was the first time she saw the county magistrate look so cute and angry. Xiao Wan glared at her, but she felt much more relaxed as she could get rid of the big problem of the account book.

When she had free time, Xiao Wan started thinking about new food and improving the sweet and sour pot that she had been thinking about for a long time.

This dynasty also had food similar to modern hot pot, called Guluguo, but the base of the pot was very light and the ingredients were simple, just like the food was cooked in a pot and then heated in a clay oven on the table.

The flavors and seasonings were not as complex and diverse as those in later generations. Xiao Wan felt that this was a breakthrough. Perhaps she could imitate the modern hot pot base and try to improve the pot base. Then she could try it with Aunt Zhang.

Xiao Wan pondered over what was needed for the hot pot base in her previous life, and wrote down the general ingredients she would need.

She wrote until dark, and Tian Shuang called her to come for dinner. Xiao Wan put the prescription away and waited to discuss it with Aunt Zhang the next morning.

Aunt Zhang is also very interested in new food. Now she is basically the one who cooks in the kitchen. Her son Zhang Liang follows her around to protect her, while she works in the Xiao family's kitchen. The monthly income of the mother and son combined is quite a lot.

The work is not tiring. Since his son no longer serves as the prince's guard, he has been relieved. He was ordered to come to Kaoshan Village to protect the girl's family. Finally, he does not have to worry about something happening to his son one day and not even being able to get married. He still wants to have a grandson.

Although Kaoshan Village cannot compare with the capital, Aunt Zhang feels very comfortable living in the Xiao family. The Xiao family has a small population and the master is very kind. Both the young lady and the master have been canonized, so there is no need to worry about anyone bullying the master in terms of status.

Aunt Zhang likes to think of food on a daily basis. When she met the girl at Xiao's house, the two of them finally got along well and often came up with some strange but delicious food.

Not only did Aunt Zhang feel very comfortable in the kitchen, but the girl was also very generous with her monthly salary, which was much better than what she could get in the city.

Even the annual bonuses and other things are much more generous than those given by the hosts in the city, and the holiday gifts are much richer, so I basically don't need to use my monthly salary.

After keeping her son's monthly allowance, Aunt Zhang felt that she would be able to arrange a generous betrothal gift for her son in a few years.

This time the girl came to her again to discuss hot pot. The girl called it hot pot, which is very similar to the Guru Pot that we have seen in daily life, but the girl's recipe seems to use more abundant ingredients. She said that it tastes spicy, fresh and fragrant after eating it, which made Aunt Zhang's mouth water.

The two of them spent more than ten days in the kitchen researching and trying many different base ingredients before they finally came up with a rough improvement.

The taste is a little worse than modern ones, because it lacks many seasonings that have not been discovered in this era, but it can already satisfy Xiao Wan's taste buds.

It also has a spicy and fresh taste, and the most important sesame dipping sauce is also made, so you can enjoy it whether it is spicy hot pot or shabu-shabu.

After it was made, Xiao Wan used the customized pot and stove to let her family try it first. She asked Li Liang to make the pot and asked Li Liang to make it in the style of a mandarin duck pot.

Since Li Liang finished making the tools for the Xiao family workshop, his business has indeed improved a lot. After hearing about it, many people came to ask Li Liang to make the flour-making tools for the Xiao family workshop.

Fortunately, Li Liang was a conscientious craftsman. Although he made the tools according to Xiao Wan's drawings, he did not disclose Xiao Wan's drawings to others.

Someone heard that the flour-making tools used in the Xiao family workshop were made by Li Liang, so they offered him a high price to make flour-making tools according to the Xiao family's, but Li Liang did not agree.

He only told the outsider that if he needed tools, he should tell him what they looked like, or give him a drawing. The visitor had to give up because they didn't know what the flour-making tools in the Xiao family workshop looked like.

If they knew, they would have made the tools and bribed the workshop staff to steal the recipe.

Ever since the incident involving Yao Linlin and Zhao Cuihua, and after the workers signed employment agreements, there have been no more cases of prescription theft.
