Chapter 3: The Mysterious Girl Comes to the Door
"Don't come over in the future, don't you hear!" Wang Yong came to Xiahou Yuan, and after a beating, he woke him up, and then put on a straight face and admonished, "No matter how many times it is, I'm not interested in men!" ”
"Wang Yong, it's you who really should wake up!" After Xiahou Yuan came to his senses, he regained some reason a little, "Although my sister has reached the marriageable age, and she has been having headaches for her spouse in recent years, you are just a cook, but she is already a general." Just like today, if it is not for the lord's order, you are not allowed to kill civilians without permission, even if you are killed, you can only blame yourself for being a civilian! ”
got up and patted the dust on his body, and continued: "If you want to get close and successfully marry your sister, you must first have an identity worthy of her!" In fact, I have long found out that your strength is not bad, your strength and reaction ability are very strong, if you come to my command and find a way to make a contribution in a few years, if you can also become a general, then you may be able to get close to her! ”
Then he looked at Wang Yong and showed a smile that seemed the most handsome to him: "What do you think of this proposal?" ”
However, Wang Yong didn't mean to be moved at all, but clenched his fists, raised his leg in annoyance, and said indignantly: "If you don't react at all, maybe I really believe your words!" ”
Regardless of the consequences, he simply turned around and went back to the shop, leaving Xiahou Yuan with his hands on his crotch, wailing there.
Back in the back kitchen, he cleaned up the kitchen briefly, and looked at himself in the mirror, and he knew very well why this happened. His appearance is obviously different from that of men in this world.
Compared with before the crossing, it is more handsome, and the key is that the muscles begin to become obvious and appear more masculine. Compared with those pseudo-mother-like men, I am completely different extremes from them. It's like a presence that constantly exudes male hormones, constantly attracting those guys who secrete too much female hormones.
It's a pity that the female side is not attracted much, but is more attractive to men, which makes him puzzled.
He didn't know that after Xiahoudun ate the dishes, the estrogen in his body began to double and began to be subconsciously attracted to him, which led to subsequent changes, but Wang Yong didn't know all this.
"Unfortunate!" Sighing, Wang Yong began to get busy again.
In the afternoon, one or two more guests came over one after another, asking for help with some materials. It is still very convenient to do business in the eastern district, and the people living around it are all dignitaries. For them, eating enough is no longer a problem, eating delicious food is their greatest pursuit, and it is also the foundation for them to be able to live here.
"Welcome back!" Sending the last batch of guests out, it was already unitary time (five o'clock in the afternoon) in a blink of an eye, thanks to these rich people enjoying food, Wang Yong's small life became more and more fulfilling.
There are a lot of extra materials in the kitchen, but unfortunately the meat can't be put the next day, and it is rare to have two catties of corn, which can be exchanged for some meat and vegetables or something, and the most tangled thing for him is pork!
The pigs of this era were actually uncastrated, not only did they have no fat, but the key meat also had a smell. If you really can't live, I'm afraid that no one will like to eat pork!
It's just that what can Wang Yong do? The only way is that he also bought two pigs, and then castrated them and put them in the backyard to raise, anyway, there were sheep here before, and there was nothing to raise pigs. There are also six chickens, four of which are hens, which are the most important source of eggs in the store.
"It's a pity that there is no rice, otherwise it would be good to have a bowl of egg fried rice......" Taking out four eggs in the chicken coop, Wang Yong looked at the eggs that still had some residual warmth in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh.
Nowadays, the mainstream grain is still corn, and then sorghum, wheat and rice are not popularized, and the price is 30% cheaper than corn. Wang Yong even had a plan to find a grain merchant and replace all the corn in his hand with rice.
"Shopkeeper ......" Outside the door, an old fisherman humbly shouted inside.
"It's coming!" Wang Yong quickly came back to his senses, and then ran out, and when he saw the old fisherman, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, after all, judging from his dress, he shouldn't be a guest who can get the materials.
It's just that out of the quality of the service industry, Wang Yong still asked politely: "What do you need me to serve?" ”
"I heard that the shopkeeper here is kind-hearted, and the old man caught some river fresh, I wonder if I can change some food?" The old fisherman took out the fish basket beside him and handed it to Wang Yong.
Wang Yong picked it up and saw that it was full of live river shrimp, but this kind of river shrimp was very small, and there was little hard meat in the shell, and there was nothing to eat, no one had eaten it before, and it couldn't be sold at all. Often, fishermen catch it and throw it away.
But now it's really not normal, and it's already very good to have something to eat. Money can't buy food, that's the current situation in Yanzhou. Not only Cao Cao is short of grain, but Lu Bu is also short of grain, so it depends on who solves the food problem first and supports the next harvest.
It's just that I heard that due to the warm weather last winter, there have been locusts this year, Wang Yong remembers that there was a locust plague around 194, obviously Lu Bu and Cao Cao really need to care about this.
"There are two catties of river shrimp here, but before they were replaced, even if there were more, there was no way to ......change them" Wang Yong was a little embarrassed, this river shrimp really has nothing to eat, and the best result is to use it as pickled shrimp paste, or make raw pickled shrimp.
"Shopkeeper, pity the poor little old man!" When the old fisherman heard this, he knelt down directly, "The old man has a grandson in the family, and the old man will starve to death, the child is innocent!" Now in these years, everything that can be eaten has been eaten, and the old man can't get anything else to eat except for these shrimps! ”
"Yes, who made me kind-hearted...... Wang Yong sighed when he heard this, but he couldn't completely adapt to this era, "How about giving you two taels of corn?" ”
"Thank you, thank you, owner!" The old fisherman was immediately grateful, two or two corns can support one day, one more day of life, one more day of hope! As for these shrimps, they really don't have anything to eat, and the key is to have stomach trouble if they eat too much. Not to mention that he had been looking for more than an hour, except for this owner, all other restaurants did not accept them, and he was about to despair.
Two or two meters is not much, a small bag can be packed, and it is enough to make do with some rice porridge, as for the rest, Wang Yong does not believe that these two catties of shrimp are all the harvest of the old fisherman. Two catties of useless river shrimp are exchanged for two taels of corn, which is very cost-effective in this year.
The old fisherman took the bag and thanked him constantly, before he carefully hid the grain on his chest and left quickly. Now Yanzhou is full of hungry people, the city is fine, and if you are outside the city, you may be robbed.
It is said that locusts are terrible, and the passage of hungry people is equally terrible. At least the locusts do not eat people, and the hungry people who are crazy do not even spare people.
Put the river prawns in a pot and separate the fresh ones from the stale ones. If you put it fresh in a pot, you should live for a day, but if it is not fresh, you should eat it immediately, so as not to pollute the water and kill the fresh.
After picking for more than half an hour, he picked out three or two dead shrimps, but this is relatively fresh, and Wang Yong does not intend to waste it.
"Let's make a bowl of porridge for dinner!" Looking at the weather outside, Wang Yong began to get busy.
It's still a casserole, it's still corn, but the ingredients have changed from marinated meat to shrimp. Of course, it is not put directly in, but chopped with a cutting board, and finally chopped into shrimp paste, which is a test of knife skills, chopping is not broken enough, there will be shrimp shells in it, and the mouth will be punctured when you eat it, which will be very uncomfortable.
Generally, the head and tail are removed, and the shrimp shells are removed before chopping, but who let this thing deduct these and have nothing to eat? For Wang Yong, this chopping is a bit troublesome, but at least the amount is increased, so it can be regarded as calcium supplementation!
Chop the shrimp puree, add corn flour (instead of starch), ginger paste, rice wine and salt, and put it in your hand to squeeze out the shrimp balls. Drop into a pot of boiling water, quickly solidify, and then scoop up and set aside.
The porridge has begun to boil, the vegetables are not to be expected, you can only put the shrimp balls in and boil them together, and when the last time it comes out of the pot, it will also sprinkle some chopped green onions, and the simple version of millet shrimp porridge has been completed. In fact, if there are conditions, when boiling porridge, add chopped celery and carrots, and finally sprinkle some pepper before cooking, such millet shrimp porridge is the best!
"But in this world, it's enough to have such a degree!" Wang Yong brought the slippery shrimp porridge to the table, scooped up a spoonful with a spoon, and smelled the taste, it was really good.
I blew it, blew away the residual temperature, and carefully took a sip, the shrimp meat was smooth and chewy, and the taste was good. It's rare that the inside of the corn porridge is also dyed with a pungent umami at the moment, and eating such porridge is actually a kind of enjoyment.
One bite after another, a bowl has been eaten in a blink of an eye. Seeing that there were still about two bowls in the pot, Wang Yong couldn't help scratching his head, this time it seemed that he was doing too much.
"What a fragrant smell!" Suddenly a voice came from outside the door, and then a figure shook in.
It was a young girl, probably about sixteen or seventeen years old. Is it characterized by listlessness? It gives people the feeling of being half-asleep, not very motivated, and exuding a good and wandering atmosphere. He is about 1.52 meters tall, with short hair in a shawl and a little natural curl. The girl's skin is very white, and she rarely seems to go out to work, and the figure of a toddler is ...... Matching her appearance, her age does not seem abrupt...... Or rather, it's good!
"Shopkeeper, can you give me a bowl of porridge?" The girl looked at the porridge in the casserole, or her attention was almost focused on it at the moment, Wang Yong could almost see the word 'want to eat' in her eyes.
"If you open the door to do business, the guests come to order, and I naturally want to satisfy the guests!" Seeing this, Wang Yong simply stopped eating, "But I open the door to do business, and I can't give it away in vain!" If the lady can offer a high enough price, then the rest of the porridge will be yours! ”
"Obviously, I've already eaten a bowl of it......" The girl looked at Wang Yong, and was quickly attracted by the slippery shrimp porridge on the table, "But the taste of this porridge is really good...... Think of it as if you were fooled once! ”
After speaking, he clapped his hands, and naturally an entourage took a bag of corn and put it in front of Wang Yong.
"One stone of rice, is it enough?" The girl looked at Wang Yong.
"Enough! Two catties is actually enough! Wang Yong hurriedly replied, such a transaction, he has become a profiteer! And knowing the ins and outs of this matter, I'm afraid that others will regard me as a villain who takes advantage of others.
If one is not good, the reputation of the small shop will be damaged, and he can't afford this result.
"It's kind of self-aware...... But take the food! Think of it as a morning Ling...... Apology for General Xiahou's faux pas! Can I eat it? The girl nodded, but when she spoke, she never took her eyes off the casserole.
"Wait a minute, I'll get you a bowl and a spoon!" Wang Yong didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately got up and brought the girl a new bowl and spoon. He was almost certain that the girl in front of him must be Xiahoudun's colleague.
"How can you wait?" But the girl couldn't wait, picked up the big spoon in the casserole, and began to eat.
