Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby

"What do you want to eat? Big sister is treating you today!"

After these words were spoken, the vendors around greeted them more enthusiastically.

"Shrimp cakes and fish cakes are two for one penny..."

……

"Orange peel soup, sweet and sweet orange peel soup."

"Buckwheat pancakes are one penny each..."

"Fragrant and crispy sesame cakes, would you like to try some, young lady?"

Er'er just took a look and smiled embarrassedly. She felt a little embarrassed because these people were too enthusiastic.

"Sister, I want to eat wontons!"

Sihai was dazed as he stared at the chicken soup wontons. The boss saw this and directly opened the pot of chicken soup, and the aroma immediately wafted up.

Xu Yiyi asked Sanchuan and Er'er, but neither of them wanted it.

Xu Yiyi took Sihai with her, gave each of the two children ten cents, and asked them to look around slowly from the dock.

"You like chicken so much?"

The child held the bowl and nodded with a smile, burying his face in it.

Unfortunately, Xu Yiyi loved eating seafood during this period and did not take the child's taste into consideration.

After a while, Er'er brought over a bowl of cold toad soup (clam meat stewed into soup, eaten after cooling), biting a sesame cake.

"Big sister, this is delicious, try it!"

Although it is called a "cold" soup, the broth is very rich and full of flavor. In the summer, if you eat a bite of this after eating greasy food, it will definitely help to relieve the greasiness.

Xu Yiyi felt a little uneasy while eating. There were many food stalls on the pier. Although most of them sold buns and whole grain cakes, there were also a few stalls selling amazing food.

For example, the stalls selling cold toad soup and chicken wonton soup are very eye-catching among the stalls at the pier.

After thinking for a moment, I decided to give it a try. I couldn't make a lot of money selling food at the dock, but with small profits but quick turnover, people kept buying.

She spent a lot of money to buy her an oyster omelet, which was supposed to fill her up. However, the lady who bought the oyster omelet was a bit stingy and gave her very few oysters. She could only find two in one pancake, and it also had a fishy smell. The flour was thick and the taste was not very good.

But her stall is one of the busiest ones.

After all, most of the people who come to the dock are ordinary people, and few are willing to spend money to buy a bowl of expensive chicken soup wontons or cold toad soup.

It seems feasible if you think about it this way.

After Sanchuan came back, Xu Yiyi took the well-fed and well-drained child for a stroll around the town.

They are going to school tomorrow, so Xu Yiyi specially ordered clothes for the children, even though she knows how to make them.

But the children seemed to think that buying ready-made or custom-made clothes in town was a very respectable thing.

Then Xu Yiyi was also happy to satisfy their little vanity.

Then he went to the blacksmith shop to order a frying pan and a small clay stove. Salt and iron are very important here, and the government has a monopoly on them. The blacksmith shop that Xu Yiyi went to was registered with the government.

If Xu Yiyi wants to buy it, she needs to register.

Sometimes she wondered why she saw some strange things or objects in this dynasty that had not been recorded in history.

For example, the silver ingot in her hand and the two thousand taels of silver note she got from selling pearls some time ago.

In the Tang Dynasty, which was highly similar to this dynasty, silver was not a common currency and paper money did not appear.

But here it is.

Because of this, Xu Yiyi looks forward to finding something she wants.

For example, garlic or chili peppers, she really wants to eat spicy food.

Make some spicy seafood, or set up a grill for barbecue when she’s free. She can’t do without chili peppers!

……

As the saying goes, what you keep thinking about will definitely be rewarded. Xu Yiyi bought what she wanted at the herbal medicine shop.

Ginger, onion, cinnamon, tangerine peel, and garlic—this was such a surprise. You know, half of these things came from the Western Regions, and she unexpectedly came across them.

"Boss, do you have any of those things here that are red, with a pointed tip, gradually widening at the bottom, and slender like fingers?"

Xu Yiyi looked at it expectantly, and the shopkeeper thought for a while and shook his head firmly.

Xu Yiyi originally thought that there were really no more pepper seeds, but she found pepper seeds placed on the windowsill at the door.

"Boss, this is what I was talking about!"

Today's luck was really good. Xu Yiyi somehow got the materials she wanted.

After buying them, the ginger, garlic and chili peppers were directly planted in the fields.

When I got home, I cut a basket of leeks and onions, all of which were wild.

After Xu Yiyi came, she specially cleaned up the land at home, almost turning the island upside down.

After finding these things, they planted them. Aunt Li even came to talk to her about it.

She said the crops she planted were not edible.

"Er'er, help me clean and chop these leeks and green onions. Sanchuan, help me light the fire. Sihai, you look after your brother."

Xu Yiyi cleaned the oysters and prepared two kinds of batter, one with only flour and glutinous rice flour, and the other with eggs.

Xu Yiyi couldn't find sweet potato flour, so she could only use these two as substitutes temporarily.

Add pepper and salt, and add chives and green onions.

Since I didn’t have an iron pan, I had to fry it slowly using tiles.

After frying, they sprinkled pepper on it. The three siblings gathered around the two different plates of fried oysters very solemnly.

"Take a few bites and see which one tastes better?"

Xu Yiyi distributed the fried oysters to the children.

"It's delicious, sister. Better than the ones made by the ladies at the dock. It's crispy."

Er'er praised it highly, Sanchuan ate two with eggs, while Sihai preferred the one without eggs.

"Which one do you think tastes better?"

Xu Yiyi felt that the dish with egg had a richer taste.

"Sister, are you planning to set up a stall?"

Er'er thought about the things her elder sister had customized today and realized something.

Xu Yiyi did not hide it and nodded.

So, the children began to taste it more seriously.

"My sister brought some eggs and fried the oysters. They were tender and chewy. I like them."

This is Sanchuan.

“The ones without eggs are very crispy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.”

This is it.

"delicious!"

Sihai shouted while holding the one without egg.

"Which one do you think will sell better if it's for sale?"

Xu Yiyi couldn't make up her mind.

"But sister, three eggs cost a penny. If you add eggs, won't it be more expensive?"

Er Er thought of the fried oysters sold by the old lady, which cost one penny each. Although you couldn’t eat any oysters, they were cheap.

As soon as Er'er said that, Xu Yiyi understood. The food sold at the dock is cheap, but if eggs are added, the selling price will be higher.

So, I decided not to add eggs.

Sanchuan wanted to fight for it, and finally decided to take the eggs with him. If anyone wanted to add more, they could pay a little more.

Before officially setting up the stall, Xu Yiyi practiced at home every day, causing several children to run away when they saw him.
