Chapter 342: Love in the Red Mansion is as Deep as the Sea 23

Lin Jinyu picked up the bun and carefully placed it on the plate. The bun was as thin as paper and filled with crab roe soup.

Lift it gently, move it slowly, open the window first, then drink the soup. Sure enough, there was a reed pipe scalded in boiling water next to the plate.

Poke a small hole in the bun and insert the reed tube into it.

Lin Jinyu carefully drank a sip of the soup before speaking:

"I don't know where all your food has gone. No matter how much you eat, you don't seem to gain weight.

Didn’t you see how worried the cook was, worried that his cooking wouldn’t suit your taste, and also worried that your father would blame him.

I cook different dishes for you every day, and today's dish is extremely labor-intensive.

We've all benefited from your kindness. Today's hot dried bean curd is delicious. And the stewed ham elbow looks so soft.

Sister, please eat more of the stir-fried river shrimp with green onions. The chef has used his signature skills today."

Lin Ruhai watched his two children eat with such relish that he couldn't help but eat an extra bowl of rice as well:

"Today, Daddy will take you out for a walk so you can see the world.

Put on cotton clothes and see how ordinary people live."

The brother and sister quickly agreed, as such good things don't happen every day.

My father is very busy with work and rarely has the leisure to take them out for a walk.

Lin Daiyu was dressed up as a boy by two maids, wearing fine cotton clothes and a bun on her head.

Lin Jinyu was also dressed simply and was surrounded by several attendants.

Lin Ruhai, dressed in a sky-blue cotton robe, walked down the gangway gracefully.

He was holding a child in each hand, and was accompanied by servants, guards, nannies, and page boys, while a large group of people followed behind him.

Anhuai is a very lively place, and it just so happened that there was a big market in front of the pier.

The cries of hawkers selling all kinds of food and toys can be heard one after another, and the shops on both sides of the street are full of goods.

Seeing a wonton vendor on the roadside, Lin Ruhai sat down. The vendor, upon seeing the arrival of his customers, immediately offered them a warm welcome:

"Sir, I'm not exaggerating, my wontons are the most delicious on this street.

Many students from Qianhu Academy like to patronize the little man’s stall.

In addition to the wontons with large fillings, I also have rose-shaped red bean cakes that are so juicy they drip with oil. Sir, would you like to try my cooking?"

Lin Ruhai didn't have that many problems and directly ordered: "Boss, please count the number of people and give each of us a bowl of your wontons.

Two more red bean cakes, and two tea eggs each."

As soon as the boss saw that a big customer had arrived, he lit the stove and started working hard. This kind of business is usually run by a husband and wife.

The proprietress is also a neat and tidy woman, with a round face that looks festive.

These wontons are made from premium pork leg meat, and the filling is added with chopped green onions, sesame oil, salt and autumn oil.

Wrap it with thin wonton wrappers and boil it in boiling water for a while. Then the plump white wontons are ready.

The most valuable part is the soup, which is made from fresh pork shanks that have been stewed for a day.

Add seaweed and dried shrimps, add salted toon sprouts to make it salty, and add two drops of sesame oil. The smell is so strong that it goes straight to your head.

The proprietress used bamboo tongs to take out bowls and chopsticks from a large boiling pot and placed them one by one on a tray. She quickly added seasonings with a spoon in her hand.

The boss scooped the plump white wontons with a spoon and put them in a bowl, then added some broth and the wontons were ready.

The proprietress fried the sizzling red bean cakes in a frying pan and then served them to the customers on a tray.

The boss is a clean person, and the food he makes is made with genuine ingredients. The utensils are all boiled in hot water. Naturally, business is booming, and soon the area is filled with peddlers and hawkers.

There was also a family that went to the market and brought some pancakes. The man of the house ordered a bowl of large meat wontons to reward his wife and children.

The man scooped the wontons from the bowl into small bowls and fed them to the children one by one. The couple happily ate pancakes with the wonton soup.

Lin Ruhai pushed the dishes in front of him and said to his children, "This shop is quite clean. Try the food and see if it's any different from what you eat at home."

Lin Daiyu and Lin Jinyu looked at the cute white wontons in the coarse earthenware bowl, and hurriedly scooped them up with a spoon, put them to their mouths to cool them down, and then started eating.

The food outside is just so-so, not as delicate as the ones made in the mansion. The chef in the Lin Mansion has also made this kind of wontons for the master.

The fillings and broth are also more sophisticated, with pork often containing scallops and dried shrimp soaked in water. The broth is not a shank bone broth.

It is a broth made from ham, hen, old duck and large bones.

Even the Chinese toon sprouts are pickled from the first batch of tender sprouts, which makes them more exquisite and delicious.

Today, the two children walked a long way and were a little hungry, so they ate all ten wontons in a bowl.

There was only the soup and red bean cakes left, which he couldn't eat anymore. Lin Ruhai ate all the red bean cakes and couldn't eat the one left.

At this time, several guys carrying heavy bags at the dock came over and bowed deeply to Lin Ruhai:

"Would you mind giving me the rest, Master?"

Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said, "I'm old and I'm hungry. If you don't mind, take it and eat it!"

The two men thanked Lin Ruhai and took away the remaining wonton soup and red bean cakes. They ate the wonton soup with the coarse cakes they had bought, taking bites of cake and mouthfuls of red bean cakes, enjoying the sweetness.

Lin Ruhai said to his two children, "Look, this is the life of the world. You two have lived a life of luxury since childhood.

Who knows how they get by? They work hard all day and can only barely make ends meet.

Remember, this is not shameful. Everyone who creates wealth with his own hands is worthy of respect.

These foods are not as exquisite as those at home, but they are a luxury for ordinary people!

Do you think eating whole grain pancakes is the worst? Then listen to what follows!

Lin Ruhai turned around and started chatting with the couple:

"Brother, how's the harvest this year? How's the harvest? I see you've taken really good care of your children; they're all so strong!"

The man in the short jacket rubbed his hands awkwardly and said, "Master, this year is a good year. We planted 18 mu of land and harvested more than 9,000 kilograms of grain.

After paying rent and taxes, there were less than 3,000 kilograms of grain left. At least I could have a few solid meals.

Lin Ruhai chatted with the man for a while, then called the boss over to settle the bill: "Brother, how much did we spend in total?"

The boss was very eloquent: "Just so you know, there are 26 bowls of wontons in total, each bowl costs 8 coins, so the total is 208 coins.

There are 52 red bean cakes in total, each red bean cake costs three cents, and the total is 156 cents.

The total of the two items is 364 coins. The master ordered more to take care of my business and give you a small amount. You only need to give 360 ​​coins.

Lin Ruhai nodded and said to Lin Daiyu, "See, you want to pay? Daddy, I won't be in charge.

I'm only responsible for eating, you two should quickly pay for the meal."
