Traveling through farming with the system, I cooked delicious food in ancient times

Beside the West Water Gate, there are many people selling live fish.

Mao Xi came to a young man and saw carp in a bucket in front of him. The quality was good, so he stepped forward and asked:

"Brother, I want all these carps. Can you sell them cheaper?"

"Young lady, it's 20 cents per pound. I didn't bring much fish today. If you want it in the future, I'll take the bucket and deliver it to your house."

"Did you raise your own fish or caught them in the wild?" Although the live fish sold in the Mao Xijian fish market are all packed in wooden barrels, their mouths have already been skewered with wicker holes, so they cannot be stocked in the wild. Tanaka.

"I can't afford to raise what I catch! There are so many wild fish in the ponds in the suburbs, but the fish are so cunning that sometimes I can't catch even a few big carps in a day."

After the boy finished speaking, he used wickers to string up the remaining four fish and gave them to Mao Xi.

"It seems that if carp wants to be self-sufficient, it has to catch some small carp to raise." Mao Xi carried the fish back to Liuxiang Snacks.

When Luda was not busy, he started making large wooden barrels for pickled fish in the back room. If he wanted to find fish fry, he had to ask Brother Mu for help, and they went to the pond to catch fish.

After finishing preparing food in the kitchen, Mao Xi went to the market to buy fishing nets and fish baskets. In the afternoon, she met Mu Zhiyuan and went fishing together in the countryside.

Mao Xi placed the fish basket first and waited for the fish to take the bait.

"Brother Mu, how do you catch fish with a fishing net?" Shui Xi had no fishing skills and experience, so he hurriedly asked Mu Zhiyuan for advice.

Mu Zhiyuan demonstrated the skills of casting and closing the net on the side.

Invite fishermen to sing late, clear waves and sail. At dusk, the two caught a total of ten carp fry, and a large catfish got into Mao Xi's fish basket.

Although there were not many fry, Mao Xi took them back to Liujiacun first.

The water in the family's rice fields is plentiful due to the action of the drum cart. Mu Zhiyuan put the fry into the field.

The carps slid into the water and swam happily in the fields. Our local dog Dahuang lay on the ridge of the fields basking in the sun, wagging his tail leisurely.

"Ah Shu, these carps won't eat the rice seedlings if they are placed in the fields, right?"

"No, the rice is just about to ear now, and they eat the grass flowers in the water. When they grow up, they don't have any fishy smell! They can be made into dried fish and pickled fish bream later, which is delicious!"

After releasing the fish, Mao Xi took Mu Zhiyuan to the field edge of his second uncle Liu Yongde's house.

"Ah Shu, why are you here at your second uncle's house?" Mu Zhiyuan and Shu Xi crouched together and peeked behind the pumpkin vine next door to their second uncle's house.

"I took a look at what vegetables my uncle and the others have grown recently. The grocery store owner said that Ruifenglou ordered vegetables from them for a year."

Mao Xi looked around and saw that not all mustard greens were used for sauerkraut. Second uncle’s field is now also planted with sweet potatoes, radishes, peppers, sweet peppers, and peanuts.

Good guy, although he didn't buy these vegetable seedlings from himself, he probably bought them from other neighbors.

Seeing the variety of dishes at Second Uncle's house, Mao Xi concluded that most of the side dishes in Ruifenglou's restaurant had been ordered from Second Uncle.

"If you want to understand the whole story, you'd better go to the village's 'intelligence unit' and inquire!" Shu Xi couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"What intelligence agency, Ah Shu, what are you talking about?" Mu Zhiyuan listened in confusion.

"I mean the seventh and eighth aunts at the head of the village." Shui Xi smiled awkwardly.

At the end of the village, several peasant women gathered together to chat, eat melon seeds and peel peanuts. Mao Xi and Mu Zhiyuan came forward to pull melons with them.

"Ah Shu, I heard that you opened a snack shop in Lihua Town, and the business is very good!" Aunt Cuihua said with envy while peeling the peanuts.

"Aunt Cuihua, come to the store to eat when you have time, and I'll give you a 50% discount!" Mao Xi greeted her with a smile, "Aunt, I see that the vegetables in our fields are growing very well~"

"What's the point of growing vegetables well? There has to be a place where you can sell them. Look, all the vegetables at Liu Lao'er's house are taken over by Ruifeng House. There's no need to set up a stall to sell vegetables!" Aunt Baozhu said. The melon seed shells were spat on the ground.

"Aunt, when did they start selling to Ruifeng House? Why don't you go to Ruifeng House or Qingxiang House to provide food?"

"Why haven't I found it? Qingxiang House has its own regular vegetable farmer for a long time." Aunt Cuihua put the peeled peanuts in a dustpan and shook them.

"My Aaron also secretly contacted the head chef of Ruifeng House. They said that it was the boss's wife who made the decision, so we can only order dishes from your second uncle Yongde's house. There is nothing we can do." Aunt Baozhu was a little dissatisfied and continued, " Ah Shao, let me tell you a secret~"

Mao Xi turned her ear, and Aunt Baozhu whispered: "I also heard from Yongde's wife that Shopkeeper Liu asked her to be the head of the house. If she has time, she will go to your store to make trouble. She will order food from them in the future!"

Aunt Baozhu was usually unhappy with Mr. Gao showing off and bragging in front of her, so she just found the opportunity to talk to Mao Xi today.

"I understand, Aunt Baozhu. From now on, I don't have enough food in the store, so I will ask you to get food. If you are free in the evening, come to my house for a late-night snack!"

"Hahaha! That's good, so I won't chat with your mother-in-law, Peirong. You guys, too, will be running to Lihua Town all day long, and you won't get to know your aunts very well!"

"Aunt Cuihua, come if you have time!"

After finishing her courtesy, Ma Xi left Liujiacun, recalling the scene on the opening day of Liuxiang Snacks' new store along the way.

"Brother Mu, the stepmother and the second uncle are here to cause trouble. If it is true as aunt said, then the shopkeeper of Ruifeng Tower must be careful."

"Mo Xi, you must be on guard against others!" Mu Zhiyuan said with firm eyes.

After listening to the gossip from the aunts in the village today, he planned to send a boy to Ruifeng Tower to keep an eye on him in case anyone came to Liuxiang snacks deliberately.

In this life, Mao Xi has often seen videos of people with ulterior motives and various porcelain restaurants on the Internet.

Unfortunately, there was no surveillance video in ancient times. The stupidest way was to record it directly on paper. Currently, only the menu and price are recorded. It seems that more customer registration is needed.

Mu Zhiyuan accompanied Mao Xi back to Lihua Town Liuxiang Snack Shop.

It happened to be dinner time, so Mao Xi left Mu Zhiyuan to eat together.

Lou Lan'er went to Kaitang County to inquire about it for half a day today and was talking about her today's news.

"Listen to me, do you still remember that scholar Zhang? He was the scholar who Xiaodouzi rescued and said he saw will-o'-the-wisps in the ruined temple."

"Remember, I gave him some Zhuangyuan rice cakes as dry food before leaving." Mao Xi was deeply impressed by him. At that time, he only thought that the methane in the countryside caused the phosphorus fire, and didn't care. He never thought that it was because of the fire hidden under the ruined temple. There are buried bones.

"Sister Lan'er, don't be ridiculous, talk about the important points!" Brother Ying also came to listen to Lou Lan'er's "storytelling" and ate melon in the front row.

"Zhang Xiucai's neck was also branded with a fox tail!"

"Ah~~~"

"This fox demon hasn't been caught yet!"

"It's not that there is no fox demon. Is it because of the father and daughter who sang opera?"

"What happens next, tell me quickly!"

Lou Lan'er put down the chopsticks in her hand and put one foot on the stool: "Zhang Xiucai has also started talking nonsense. Although he is not crazy yet, it will be autumn in a few days, so I'm afraid he won't be able to participate!"

"Fox tail mark, scholar...could this be a copycat crime?" Mao Xi analyzed and reasoned himself.
