In the kitchen, the women brought two baskets of sweet potato leaves, which had been cleaned and were fresh and green with water droplets hanging on them. They were really attractive.
Jiang Miao asked a few helpers to bring a large basin, pour half of the white flour into it, add finely chopped sweet potato leaves, mix well, steam them in the pot, pour the prepared sauce, and the fragrant steamed vegetables are ready.
alright.
“It smells so good!”
Li Biao smelled the aroma of chili oil as soon as he entered the backyard. The people in the county government were all conquered by the smell of chili, especially the men who couldn't get enough of it.
"Madam, what delicious food are you making?"
He was so greedy that his mouth watered.
"Steamed vegetables with sweet potato leaves are ready. You go and ask the adults to eat."
Jiang Miao wiped her hands, instructing the two chefs to put the steamed vegetables on plates, and took the time to answer Li Biao's questions.
"Okay!"
As long as there is something delicious, Li Biao is more active than anyone else. It's not like he has never eaten sweet potato leaves before. When making porridge every day, the cook chops them up and puts them in. They are green and a little sweet, and taste better than white porridge.
Although Li Biao doesn't like to eat green vegetables, after eating the white porridge for more than half a year, his mouth has faded. Green vegetables are pleasing to his eyes, not to mention that Jiang Miao is now making steamed vegetables with chili oil and garlic juice on top.
, so many good things are added in and mixed together, it will definitely be delicious.
Li Biao's pace quickened when he thought of food. He called Shen Yanqing, Liang Duo and others soon. It was a hot day, and fragrant steamed vegetables paired with crisp cucumbers were the best delicacies.
Jiang Miao Kuxia likes to eat this bite. If the watermelon is ripe and she can eat two pieces of watermelon after a meal, it will really relieve the heat and quench her thirst.
Jiang Miao goes to see the vegetables she grows every day. The watermelons have blossomed and bear fruit. There is little rain this year, so the melons will be super sweet. Jiang Miao can't wait to eat the watermelons.
Furong Town
Guo Zhao felt that his mother was acting weird these days. She stopped asking for snacks and asked him to buy less and save money to marry a wife. Guo Zhao was puzzled.
But he knew that his mother loved to eat snacks. Although his monthly salary was not much, he could still afford to buy snacks for his mother. Moreover, Guo Zhao also had his own little ideas, so even though Guo's mother said she wouldn't eat them, he still could
Bought.
Shen Yingxue made ice powder today. The smooth and transparent ice powder was covered with dried fruits, crushed peanuts and yellow peach pulp. Then she scooped a spoonful of brown sugar water and took a sip. It was so refreshing that the heat dissipated.
Jiang Miao wrote a letter to teach her how to make this recipe. The fruit for making ice powder can be found on the mountain. If Jiang Miao and the others didn't know that there is such a food to relieve the heat, the ice powder Shen Yingxue would have been sold all summer.
The young ladies in the town queue up early in the morning every day. If they don't eat for a day, they will feel anxious. Therefore, Guo Zhao can buy it because of his relationship with Shen Yingxue. She will leave a separate portion for him every day. No matter how late it is, he will always
Can be purchased.
"Mom, for today's ice powder, I asked the shopkeeper to add an extra spoonful of sugar water."
Guo's mother loves to eat sweets, so Guo Zhao figured out the rules after buying her a few snacks. In particular, the ice powder should be put in two spoons of sugar water, and more crushed peanuts and fruit pulp. It tastes sweet and smooth.
"I'm not saying I won't let you buy it!"
Mother Guo kept complaining, but she kept staring at the ice powder and swallowing hard.
Guo Zhao could tell at a glance that she was telling the truth. Although she was very greedy, she kept preventing him from buying it. Guo Zhao didn't understand her thoughts. No matter how old this woman was, she always meant what she said. Guo's mother was the same, and so was Shen Yingxue.
Guo Zhao could see that Shen Yingxue also liked him, but he was unwilling to accept his marriage proposal, which had always made him very distressed.
"Don't you like to eat it? A bowl of ice powder doesn't cost much, so you don't have to save money for your son."
Guo Zhao thought his mother was worried about money. Guo's mother rolled her eyes countless times in her heart. This son was just stupid and she wasn't thinking about him.
Ever since she knew that Guo Zhao liked the shopkeeper of a pastry shop, Guo's mother would be frightened when she saw him buying pastries every day, for fear that he would fall deeper into trouble.
How could Mrs. Shen, who was in such a good condition, fall in love with her stupid son? She was afraid that Guo Zhao would not be harmed because of his request, so she would rather endure the greed than let him continue to buy snacks.
"Huh, I won't eat anymore anyway, so don't waste that money. Pay more attention to your official duties, and don't worry about those fruitless things."
Guo Zhao frowned, always feeling that there was something in his mother's words. Isn't it Shen Yingxue who he is thinking about now? Does his mother know?
Guo Zhao was a little unsure, but he still had to buy snacks. Guo's mother usually had a bad appetite so she could only eat more snacks. He would not ignore his mother's health just to save money.
Moreover, Guo Zhao also had his own selfish motives. He hadn't caught up with his wife yet, so he couldn't hang out in front of Shen Yingxue twice a day, so he didn't take Mother Guo's words to heart at all.
But what he doesn't know yet is that his undecided wife is about to run away without his mother stopping her.
"The third child wants us to go to Zhenjiang Mansion?"
Before Shen Erlang finished reading the letter, Mrs. Zhang was shocked and screamed.
"This is what my uncle said. There is a shortage of manpower over there, and I want my parents to come over and help. The shop is ready, and it is bigger than ours. So I asked my parents if they would like to go."
Shen Erlang really wanted to go. He had finished his college classes and could study the rest at home. Besides, his brother-in-law was the number one scholar in a new subject. His uncle could give him some random advice rather than studying hard with his husband.
Moreover, Shen Erlang has a wild temperament and has long wanted to visit Zhenjiang Prefecture. He has not traveled far yet, and he doesn't know if Zhenjiang Prefecture has as much fun as Furong Town.
It would be nice if everyone was as open-minded as him. Boss Shen and Wang were full of tangles. Their shop was running well, so why were they willing to lose it like this?
Moreover, Da Lang has also reached the age to propose marriage, so the food and clothing problem of the people in Zhenjiang Prefecture has not been solved, and it is difficult to find a young lady of the right age. If they go to Zhenjiang Prefecture, they are afraid that Da Lang's marriage will be delayed.
After Boss Shen and Mrs. Wang shared their concerns, Mrs. Zhang also fell silent.
Yes, the eldest grandson's marriage is the most important. Several families have already inquired about it, and they are all young ladies from merchant families, and their families are good-looking.
They all wanted to marry the Shen family for Shen Yanqing's sake. Otherwise, how could their elder brother marry such a good young lady? If he went to Zhenjiang Mansion, he would have nothing and everything would have to be started from scratch. No one would be cruel. I can’t bear to feel down.
"Dad, Mom, I want to go!"
In the silent room, Shen Dalang suddenly spoke, his face full of determination.
"There is no rush about getting married. I want to make some achievements before talking about getting married."
Unlike his parents, Shen Dalang was content with just running a small shop. He wanted to open a restaurant so that all the people in the Yan Dynasty could eat the food in his shop.
Shen Dalang has never told anyone else about this dream because it is too big and too far away, but now that there is an opportunity in front of him, it is impossible for him not to be moved. Shen Dalang knows the abilities of Shen Yanqing and Jiang Miao. If there is no benefit, they will not let it go. Family members passed by.
