So Gong Jian immediately felt the business opportunities in this, so he was like a shot of chicken blood. Even in the heavy snow, he had to implement this matter as soon as possible. This is how he is today, Tuxue
Come to town to find the blacksmith's trade.
After getting the main prop of hot pot, Gong Jian felt at ease. He was confident that using hot pot, a new way of eating, would bring huge wealth to him and his family.
With such great motivation, he started to make other preparations after returning home. First, he dug out two cabbages, a few potatoes, pumpkins, and sweet potatoes from his cellar. He also found some that had been dried this year.
Some dried fungi and day lilies dried at home in autumn.
When Gong Jian came back from town, he bought two large herrings and half a fan of mutton from the market. He planned to cut one of the large herrings into thin slices, and chop the other one directly into minced meat and add starch.
Make into fish balls.
As for the mutton, he froze it outside first, and planned to patiently cut the mutton into thin slices when he got up in the morning on the tenth day.
After planning all this, he still felt that there was still something missing in this hot pot. When it came to basic information, he could find almost everything. Don't think about beef. Farming here mainly relies on cattle. If you want to eat beef
, which is basically impossible.
As for the green vegetables, Gong Jian couldn't find them. After all, it was winter, and if you wanted to eat cabbage, you had to store it in the cellar. It was impossible to find green leafy vegetables. Gong Jian always felt that there seemed to be some way in his mind.
, green vegetables can also be grown in winter.
But he was afraid that if he did that, the four seasons would be reversed and it would be too eye-catching. So all the time, he only made a fuss about some food. Although eating may seem inconspicuous, it is something that everyone cannot avoid.
.
Gong Jian tinkered with some things, but others only thought that his own taste was rather weird. After all, all the raw materials he used were commonly available to everyone. So although the food Gong Jian made always tasted a little different,
His methods are even more fresh and diverse. But no one really doubts his actions.
But if he can grow summer vegetables in winter, it will be no small feat. On the contrary, not only will it not bring wealth to the family, but he will also get into trouble if he is not careful. Therefore, even if Gong Jian feels that he has prepared
, not perfect, but not too demanding either.
Time flew by, and soon the day he made an appointment with Blacksmith Wang came. Early in the morning, Gong Jian prepared the ingredients and took his younger brothers and sisters to the town. The temperature was still very low, but at least the heavy snow had stopped falling.
, although there is still snow on the road, it is much easier to walk than last time.
Gong Jian first took his brothers and sisters to Tianji Grocery Store and asked them to arrange the meat and vegetables they brought with the shopkeeper Tian. Then he went out to the blacksmith shop to pick up the pots he had ordered.
When Gong Jian came to the blacksmith shop this time, he immediately noticed that it was completely different from before. The shop was completely silent. He was still surprised, but as soon as he entered the door, he found blacksmith Wang sitting on the Taishi chair facing the door of the shop, wielding a golden sword.
As soon as he saw Gong Jian entering the door, Blacksmith Wang immediately stood up from his chair and strode over to greet Gong Jian before he could speak.
"Young Master Gong, you are here. I made that pot of yours, and it has finally lived up to its promise."
Blacksmith Wang has been tortured by this new type of pot in the past few days. He made a guarantee before and worked hard for several days. Finally, last night, the last process was completed.
So early this morning, he sent away his two apprentices to rest. These two people had been helping him, and they hadn't gone home for many days. Today, Blacksmith Wang had been waiting for Gong Jian to come to pick up the goods. If not
There was also the friendship between Shopkeeper Tian and him, so he thought that Gong Jian didn't like their shop and was deliberately looking for trouble.
After the pot was built, Blacksmith Wang observed it many times. But no matter how he looked at it, it was a strange pot. He had no idea how it could be cooked on the stove.
When Gong Jian heard Blacksmith Wang say that the pot was ready, he couldn't help but feel happy.
"Blacksmith Wang, that's great. You are indeed very skilled. You were the only one who made my pot. It's all thanks to you."
"Hahaha, I just worked hard for a few more years and have a little bit of experience. I can't take it for granted."
Gong Jian's words made Blacksmith Wang a little embarrassed. At the same time, he was very happy that he had built the pot in the end. Otherwise, he had already said what he said and failed to do it. His old face was not
Save.
The two of them didn't exchange much greetings, and Blacksmith Wang led Gong Jian to see the finished product. As soon as he entered the next room, Gong Jian immediately saw the copper hot pot on the table.
Blacksmith Wang was indeed very capable. The copper hotpot was exactly the same as what Gong Jian had imagined. He took two quick steps and stretched out his hand to check.
Gong Jian inspected the hot pot inside and out. Although there were still some traces of making on the hot pot, it did not affect the use of the hot pot. He was very satisfied.
"Okay, okay, you did a great job with this pot. Thank you so much." After Gong Jian finished speaking, he was about to pay and settle the remaining wages.
But Blacksmith Wang held his hand holding the money and said, "Brother Gong, you're not busy, you're not busy."
Now Gong Jian was surprised, how could there be someone who was not active in collecting money? He thought that Blacksmith Wang had something important to say, but unexpectedly, he heard Blacksmith Wang say such a thing.
"Well, Brother Gong, can you tell me first how to use this pot."
This question has been bothering Blacksmith Wang for many days. As soon as he asked the question, he looked at Gong Jian with burning eyes, saying that he would never leave here unless you tell him.
Gong Jian relaxed after hearing Blacksmith Wang's question. This problem was easy to solve. He spoke readily.
"No problem, Blacksmith Wang, if you have time, come with me to Uncle Tian's shop. My brother and sister will prepare it there first. I will use this pot to treat you to lunch today."
When Blacksmith Wang heard what Gong Jian said, he immediately became happy: "Okay, I have nothing to do today, let's leave now."
The two of them came to Tianji Grocery Store talking and laughing, and Gong Jian discovered that not only his younger brothers and sisters, but also shopkeeper Tian and the store clerk were there, and there were actually customers waiting for him. That person was none other than
Tian Ji is the general manager of all restaurants.
At this time, the few people who stayed in the grocery store had already placed a large Eight Immortals table full of ingredients in Shopkeeper Tian's room. In the middle of the table, according to Gong Jian's instructions, there was an open space, waiting for the copper.
