Chapter 31 Sri Lankan Blue Crab

I came back late today, and it would be dusk soon. Zhang Xiao packed up the place where they would stay for the night, and watched Liu Xin cleaning up the pigs under the eaves.

Liu Xin cleaned up all the pig waste and put it into two large pots, added seasonings, and Zhang Xiao added firewood under the pot. Liu Xin felt a lot more relaxed now that he had an extra helper.

At this time, Liu Xin's mother had already prepared dinner, and their family of four was sitting at the dinner table. Zhang Qingyu and Zhang Xiao joined them in eating without saying anything, because they knew that if they wanted to stay, they had to find the right place for themselves.

The family has contributions, otherwise Liu Xin can definitely find a better servant to come back.

After the meal, it was getting dark. Liu Xin took out the bones that had been boiled for two days in the pot. Then he looked at the pig intestines, lungs, and heart, which were almost cooked. He poured the liver into the pot and waited.

The fire went out within a quarter of an hour.

The old rule was that the meat should be simmered in the pot for more than two hours. Liu Xin went back to his room to rest first. He saw Zhang Qingyu and his sister still looking at the big pot in the yard.

"You two go back to the house and rest! You two don't need help here." Liu Xin said to the two of them.

"Master, tell us what we need to do, and the two of us will do it. How can we go to sleep if you don't sleep!" Zhang Qingyu said sensibly.

"Okay, I'll tell you how to make our [Mixed Liver Soup] and what you need to pay attention to..."

The key to this [Miscellaneous Gan Soup] is [Thirteen Fragrances]. Only Liu Xin has [Thirteen Fragrances], so there is no secret formula. He explained all the key points of making [Miscellaneous Gan Soup] to the two of them one by one.

Yes, both of them listened carefully.

"Okay, that's it! After an hour, take out the meat, add a bone and stew it, so that tomorrow's bone soup will be delicious.

I'll go back to the house and sleep, and I'll come out in an hour. If you two want to go back to the house and sleep, you can go, and if you want to guard the pot, you can guard it." After Liu Xin finished speaking, he left.

Zhang Qingyu and Zhang Xiao did not leave. They stood by the big pot silently. Tonight, Liu Xin's mother gave them each a large bowl of rice porridge, which they had not eaten for more than two years.

"Brother, we are so lucky to meet the young master!" Zhang Qingyu said to her brother.

"Yeah!" Zhang Xiao just snorted and replied.

"The young master is a nice person and is willing to take us in. Sister Xiaohua is also a nice person. The old lady and the two young ladies are also good people.

The two of us must be more diligent in the future and work more for the family, so that the young master can keep us here." Zhang Qingyu has already thought about the future.

"Yeah!" Zhang Xiao was still so taciturn.

Zhang Qingyu gave her brother a vision for the future, and Zhang Xiao responded wordlessly. At this time, Zhang Qingyu took out half a piece of jujube cake from her arms and handed it to Zhang Xiao, but Zhang Xiao said that she was full and couldn't eat any more.

Zhang Qingyu ate half a piece of jujube cake by herself. She knew that she would not be hungry again when she followed Liu Xin's family, and there was no need to save this food. It might go bad if left for a long time. She couldn't waste it in any case. It must be eaten.

yes.

Liu Xin returned to his room and lay down on the kang, and saw that all the chickens in the chicken coop had fallen asleep quietly. His mother had helped him burn the kang in the afternoon, and the room was very warm, so the chickens did not have to worry about being cold at night.

There was no oil lamp at home, so Liu Xin thought about his income today. He sold about 50 kilograms of pork offal meat for 5,480 yuan, plus the half a tael of silver given by Zhang Fei, his income today was more than 6,000 yuan.

Tomorrow is the first day of the opening of the market, so the East Market will definitely be busy. I still have 70 kilograms of miscellaneous meat at home, two pots of prepared original soup, and the onions, ginger and firewood brought by my second brother today are enough, so there will definitely be enough to sell tomorrow.

Just as she was thinking that Liu Xin heard Zhang Qingyu's conversation outside the house, the two little guys would definitely feel uneasy when entering a new environment, and she was deeply afraid that she would drive them away if she didn't want to, when Liu Xin suddenly heard a system prompt.

"System prompts: The host took in the troubled siblings Zhang Qingyu and Zhang Xiao as a righteous act. The host will be rewarded with a [Loyalty Point] point. Do you want to draw a lottery?"

Liu Xin couldn't help but smile when he heard the system prompt. What could make people happier than drawing a lottery? He silently thought about the lottery in his heart, and the [Loyalty Wheel] in his mind began to rotate, and the pointer stopped at the position of "[Two Blue Crabs]"

Down.

"Congratulations to the host: I got two Sri Lankan blue crabs. Would you like to extract them?"

"No extraction!" Liu Xin thought silently.

In his previous life, Liu Xin liked to eat blue crabs, but now he needs something that can improve his quality of life, something that is more valuable in this world, even a big bag of toilet paper.

In this era, people use wood chips to scrape when going to the toilet. They wash themselves once and leave it for others to use again. How clean can it be? Liu Xin has a headache every time he goes to the toilet. After using it, he has to secretly wash it with water again.

, otherwise it will be uncomfortable.

In short, this pair of blue crabs is the reward that Liu Xin is least willing to take, but it is better than nothing. At least he can improve his life.

After lying for an hour, Liu Xin saw that it was almost time. He got dressed and went out of the house. He saw Zhang Qingyu and his brother sitting next to the extinguished fire in thin clothes. All the firewood and meat dishes were ready.

Liu Xin took out all the meat from the pot, put it in a basket and took it back to her room. Because she was afraid that her little sister would get upset after eating it, the cooked meat was always in Liu Xin's room.

Zhang Qingyu and Zhang Xiao saw that Liu Xin had fished out all the meat and brought him a chopping board and axe. Liu Xin took out all the bones and smashed them before putting them in again. The two boys started to light a fire at the bottom of the pot, and Liu Xin took out

Add some washed beef bones to both pots.

Seeing that the fire under the pot was already burning brightly, Liu Xin went back to the house to sleep, and Zhang Qingyu and Zhang Xiao also returned to the kitchen.

Liu Xin woke up very early the next day. Today was the first day the market opened. If they arrived late, the space they occupied yesterday might be occupied by others.

He got up and got dressed and saw that the chickens were still sleeping. He filled the trough with feed and water, then left the hospital and started washing.

Zhang Qingyu and Zhang Xiao heard the noise in the courtyard, so they got up and left the house. Liu Xin filled 6 barrels of original soup from two large pots, and the two boys carried the barrels to the cart with partitions.

When mother heard Liu Xin getting up, she also got up and started chopping green onions and ginger slices, and put the firewood used today on the cart.

"Mom, today is the first day of the market, so you, Wan Liu, and my little sister will go there a little later. You will make breakfast and bring it to us. We will take turns to rest in the afternoon." Liu Xin put 40 kilograms of pork offal meat and 5 kilograms of cow heads.

After putting the meat into the cooked meat basket, he went out with Zhang Qingyu and Zhang Xiao.

When we arrived at the market, many shops were opening, and Liu Xin, who was setting up a street stall, was the first to arrive. He poured a bucket of original soup into the soup pot, and Zhang Qingyu started to light a fire. Liu Xin and Zhang Xiao went to Zhang's butcher shop to move tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks.
