Spring has begun and the ice is about to melt. We need to find a piece of wasteland as soon as possible!
But every piece of land in Yongzhou City should be managed by someone!
No, I'd better ask dad tonight.
After dinner, Zhao Ling'er told Master Su her difficulties again. After hearing this, Master Su thought for a while and said: "Our family currently has dozens of acres of wasteland, and we haven't had time to cultivate it yet. You go find it."
Ask your mother where it is, and if you have time, you can take someone to dig it out."
"Ah? Ask my mother?" Zhao Ling'er was a little hesitant.
Master Su smiled and said: "Your mother is in possession of all the land deeds to our house. If you don't ask her, who should you ask for it?"
"Okay." Zhao Ling'er sighed. It seemed that it was impossible to ask for land from home.
Zhao Ling'er didn't go to see Mrs. Su anymore and returned to her room gloomily.
The next morning, Ani knocked on the study door and shouted: "Master, madam, please come over."
Su Yi Ning was a little surprised: "What's the matter with calling me? Did she find out that I went to see my eldest brother that night?"
So he followed A Ni to the hall anxiously.
Mrs. Su stared at him and patted the place next to her: "Ning'er, come here."
Su Yi Ning pretended to smile casually and said, "Mom, what do you want me to do?"
Mrs. Su said: "I heard that that wild girl couldn't find a place to store ice?"
When Su Yi Ning heard this, she immediately felt relieved and said with a sad face: "Yes, hot pot restaurants have to prepare so much fresh meat and fruits every day. In summer, if you want to keep them fresh, you will definitely need to use a lot of ice.
Moreover, the business of our hot pot restaurant is so good now. We will definitely open a branch next year, which will use more ice. But now we have no money, so we are worried about this!"
Mrs. Su said with a sullen face: "Didn't I tell Zhao Ling'er to report everything to me in the store? Winter will be over soon, why did she only think of picking ice at this time?"
Su Yi Ning patted the table and said, "Yes, that's what I said about her too. Maybe it's her first time opening a hotpot restaurant and she has no experience! Mom, don't argue with her."
Mrs. Su handed a land deed to Su Yining and said, "Humph, if she hadn't been the daughter-in-law of the Su family, I wouldn't have bothered to care about this matter! I don't want someone to have diarrhea next year after eating stale food, and everyone will
It was said that it was opened by people from our Su family. What a shame for our people from Su family! Besides, your 10,000 taels of silver cannot be wasted in vain. Here, give this to her, let her
She quickly sent someone to collect ice!"
Su Yining was overjoyed, took the land deed, ran back to his small courtyard, and handed the land deed to Zhao Ling'er.
Zhao Ling'er asked in surprise: "Mother gave this to you?"
Su Yi Ning nodded.
"Really? She would actually take the initiative to hand over the land deed to me?" Zhao Ling'er still didn't believe it.
Su Yi Ning smiled and said: "Oh, my mother is just a sharp-tongued person. Don't listen to her being so harsh on you. In fact, she just likes to worry."
Zhao Ling'er said nothing more. It had to be said that at this moment, she actually felt a trace of gratitude towards Mrs. Su in her heart.
She quickly ordered people to find Shopkeeper Wang, handed him the land deed, and asked him to lead people to dig the cellar.
A few days later, Zhao Linger went to Mrs. Su to report the situation in the store.
Mrs. Su asked: "How is it? Has the cellar been dug? Has all the ice been harvested? Do you have enough manpower? Do you have enough money?"
Zhao Ling'er nodded and said, "It's all done, thank you, mother!"
Mrs. Su snorted softly, ignored her, and continued: "Ask that person to deliver the hot pot to your home at noon today. Give me a portion of the same food in the store. Your sister-in-law didn't eat it last time.
, set a table for her to try it at noon today."
"Oh, that's great!" Zhao Ling'er hurriedly ordered Ah Zhen to go to the store to find shopkeeper Wang to prepare the ingredients.
It's almost New Year's Eve.
Su Mansion started preparing New Year's goods as early as early December.
Bacon, venison, mutton, deer meat, rabbit meat, tiger skin, fox skin, mink skin, chicken, duck, goose...every day people come in one after another to deliver things.
Mrs. Su ordered people to check them one by one and take them to the backyard warehouse.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and Zhao Linger rarely goes out these days.
Just coming back from my wife's yard, she saw someone pulling a cow into the backyard.
Zhao Ling'er was a little surprised: Can we still see cows here?
She followed him excitedly and asked the man: "Can this cow still produce milk?"
The man stopped and pulled the cow and said proudly: "Why not? As long as you feed enough feed, you can squeeze out a big bucket every morning!"
"Really? That's great!" Zhao Ling'er said excitedly.
With milk, there are so many things she can do!
She thought about it, returned to the kitchen, picked up a wooden bucket, ran to the backyard and said to the man: "Can you squeeze some milk for me now? I haven't had milk for a long time, and I want to taste it now."
The man squatted down and squeezed out half of the bucket skillfully, and said, "It can't be squeezed out anymore. Come back tomorrow morning."
Zhao Ling'er was holding the wooden bucket, and her hands were blown red by the cold wind.
She suddenly remembered that she had not even had the first cup of milk tea in autumn.
Then, you must make a cup of milk tea to reward yourself in winter.
Back in the kitchen, she asked Ah Zhen to light a fire.
After the pot is hot, pour the tea leaves into it, then add a few pieces of rock sugar. After the sugar melts and bubbles and turns into caramel color, add boiling water to the pot. After the water boils, pour in the freshly squeezed milk and cook together, then use
Remove the tea leaves with a slotted spoon.
"Ah!" Ah Zhen sniffed and asked, "Young lady, what are you doing? It smells so good!"
Zhao Ling'er smiled and said: "Don't worry, it will be done in a while and everyone will have a share!"
After the milk tea was cooked, Zhao Ling'er filled a bowl and handed it to Ah Zhen, saying, "Go and bring this bowl to Yi Ning and let him have a taste."
Then he called Ah Ke and said, "Bring this bowl to Madam and ask her to taste it. Just stand there and wait for her to finish her reply before you come back."
Mrs. Su looked at what Ah Ke brought over, frowned and asked, "What is this?"
Ah Ke said: "Go back to the old lady. I heard from the young lady that this is the first cup of milk tea she made in winter."
"Milk tea?" Mrs. Su repeated, taking a sip of it dubiously.
Well, it's a bit sweet, with a hint of caramel, milk and tea.
I have never had tea with this taste.
Is this tea?
She tasted it carefully in her mouth, then picked up the bowl and took a big sip.
Well, this taste...
This Zhao Ling'er is messing around with these weird things all day long.
She took another sip and put the bowl on the table. Seeing that Ah Ke hadn't left yet, she asked, "What are you still doing here?"
Ah Ke whispered: "Go back to the old lady, the young lady said that I can't go back until you reply."
"Humph!" Mrs. Su said, "Tell her to spend more time with Yi Ning in the future and stop doing these messy things all the time."
After hearing this, Zhao Ling'er smiled and didn't take it seriously. Seeing that there was only half a pot of milk tea left in the pot, she invited Ah Zhen and the others to come and have a taste.
After drinking it, everyone lamented that they had never drunk tea like this before.
"Is this considered tea? But why does it taste so unusual!"
"This tea smells so good!" Ah Ke couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, Mrs. Su sent someone over to call Zhao Ling'er to have dinner.
Mrs. Su pulled Mu Yunqing to sit on the main seat and said, "Try it, Zhao Ling'er doesn't know what kind of tricks he did. He made it so gaudy that he put so many dishes on the table for one meal."
Mu Yunqing smiled, picked up a piece of bamboo shoots, blanched it in a mushroom soup pot, and took a bite: "Well, it's so fresh!"
