Chapter 142
Chapter 142
Jiang Qiu pinched her face: "So annoying, I'm too beautiful."
Lu Ce turned and left.
Jiang Qiu made a face at his back: "That is to say, you never know how to appreciate my beauty."
"Aren't the bean sprouts ready today? Let's go take a look."
Lu Ce changed the subject.
"Yes, let's go check on the bean sprouts. They haven't seen the light for a while, so there's a high chance that there's nothing wrong with them."
When the family members heard that they were going to see the bean sprouts, they all came to join in the fun. When Jiang Qiu lifted the cloth covering the bean sprouts, the lush bean sprouts were placed in front of him. Everyone was amazed to see that those beans had turned into this.
The original beans turned into bean sprouts, becoming as white as jade and fresh and tender.
Lu Mingyue tilted her head this way and that way, trying to find the best angle to watch the bean sprouts. "Aunt, can I touch the bean sprouts?"
"Of course, now that it's mature, it's not very delicate. You can touch it at will. It's best to wash it. I'll cook it for you later, and you can taste the flavor of bean sprouts."
"it is good!"
Lu Mingyue took the bean sprouts to wash.
Lu Ce followed closely, and only asked after Lu Mingyue left: "What are you going to do with these bean sprouts in the future?"
"Bean sprouts were created by our founder of Jialemen. I once heard her say that anyone who wants to use bean sprouts must mention the existence of Jialemen to someone who has never heard of it. Anyone who mentions it is considered a disciple of our sect and can eat our food at will."
Jiang Qiu was talking nonsense in a serious tone.
Douya certainly cannot charge money. In order to maximize profits, Jiang Qiu can only promote her fame first. Even though her stall now only sells simple rice rolls, and they haven't even been sold for two days.
Oops! ! !
Lu Ce agreed with her: "Grandmaster, what you said is absolutely right. I will write a letter to inform others so that they can use the bean sprouts from our popular sect."
Jiang Qiu pursed his lips.
I feel a little ashamed for some reason.
She went to the kitchen to steam rice and then prepared to stir-fry bean sprouts.
The bean sprouts were instantly cooked by the hot steam in the pot, making a hissing sound. Jiang Qiu turned the bean sprouts with a spatula from time to time to ensure that they were heated evenly.
Seeing Lu Ce beside him, Jiang Qiu said to him, "I'll give you two times. One is for unshrunken bean sprouts, and the other is for shrunken bean sprouts. The difference is huge!"
Then, she scooped up the prepared bean sprouts and put fresh bean sprouts into the pot. Lu Ce felt that the bean sprouts were visibly wilting. There was not much oil or water in the pot originally, but as Jiang Qiu stir-fried it, more and more water appeared.
"Do you know what the difference is?" Jiang Qiu said.
Lu Ce nodded.
Jiang Qiu didn't continue the demonstration. When the bean sprouts were about to be cooked, she sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions and a few drops of sesame oil. Suddenly, the air was filled with a mouth-watering aroma.
She poured the steaming bean sprouts into bowls, one pot of yellow bean sprouts and one pot of mung bean sprouts, and then took them out of the pot.
When Zou Chengan smelled the fragrance of food, he immediately put down his work and rushed to the hall. If he did not come to eat according to Jiang Qiu's meal time, then no one would leave food for him!
They are so cruel.
So callous and heartless.
Even though they lived under the same roof, she didn't care whether he was hungry or not.
Zou Chengan was complaining in his heart, but when he saw food he had never seen before on the table, he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What is this?"
"You can try the bean sprouts that everyone is talking about. One is mung bean sprouts and the other is soybean sprouts." Jiang Qiu sat down to eat.
Zou Chengan scooped up some rice, blew away the heat, and took a bite. The bean sprouts were crisp and fragrant. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "This fried bean sprouts is so delicious! I can't imagine that it was transformed from beans. Are there fresh bean sprouts? Can I take a look?"
Lu Mingyue: "It's in the kitchen."
"it is good!"
Zou Chengan went to look while holding his bowl.
After Lu Mingyue finished replying, she also picked up the fried bean sprouts, which had an attractive color and a crispy texture. "Aunt, if we had come across these bean sprouts in the capital before, we would have been willing to pay one tael of silver per pound."
There are not many fruits and vegetables in the north in winter, and such crisp and refreshing things are very rare. Only the palace has arranged special greenhouses to grow some vegetables with a survival rate. Their family was rewarded by the emperor and could eat a few kilograms of vegetables. In the past, they had always eaten sauerkraut with radishes or cabbage. Every winter, she would eat these things until she vomited!
"But I plan to pass the recipe on to everyone, so I can't make a profit from it." Jiang Qiu felt a little regretful.
Lu Mingyue pouted, "Well, luckily my uncle made 20,000 taels of silver from the wanted criminal."
Twenty thousand taels of silver was almost enough to cover the tax revenue of the entire Qiongzhou. If these people had not committed heinous crimes, and the bounty for the number one flower thief was as high as five thousand taels, Lu Ce would have had no way of getting the money. But even if he got twenty thousand taels of silver, he would not be considered a rich man in the county.
Often the poorer the place, the greater the gap between the rich and the poor.
This is a truth that everyone understands, plus they were really rich in the past, especially Qian's father, who was once the richest man in China.
Now it has gradually faded from everyone's sight.
Jiang Qiu picked up a piece of bean sprouts with chopsticks and said, "We haven't had a good rest these past few days. We told the outside world that the bean sprouts would be ready after six days, so we will have a good rest during this holiday, and teach them how to make bean sprouts the day after tomorrow."
Lu Ce: "I might leave tomorrow."
Jiang Qiu paused.
The dinner table suddenly became quiet.
Jiang Qiu immediately smiled and said, "This is a good thing. You have to work hard to make money and give it to me to develop my career. Got it?"
Lu Ce hummed guiltily.
Jiang Qiu didn't notice his expression and continued eating.
Lu Ce took advantage of the night and came to the house of the old man who had first thrown dirty water on Jiang Qiu. He had been too busy dealing with that group of villagers these days and had no time to take care of him. Now he was about to leave their safety to the secret guards, and Lu Ce was really worried.
He still hopes to eliminate the hidden dangers in the dark!
The layout of the old man's house is similar to theirs, except that every room is filled with children. He said to the outside world: "My son is very capable. He found many women outside and had many children. Now he gives me a lot of money to support them. When they grow up, the girls can be exchanged for betrothal gifts, and the boys can be sold to the escort agency as escorts if I take good care of them!"
This statement only makes people half-believe and half-doubtful, but there are indeed many people who are engaged in human trafficking. They give birth to many children, feed them casually and let them live, and then sell them when they grow up and someone is willing to take them!
