The sun was hot around noon, making people shine.

At this time, the people who work stopped working and started eating. They had no money to eat some pumpkin and beans, and added a thin slice of bacon that was two fingers wide for a little money. After eating, they had a rest and then continued to work after the sun was over.

Of course, someone is not short of money, but there is no need to waste too much, so as not to expose too much money and attract some mosquitoes to buzz around.

His lunch today was a meat patty made by the bacon workshop, mixed with corn kernels, shredded ginger, soybean flour and salt, and steamed together. Add a few pieces of fruit on top and steam it together.

While eating, he took a look at the newly customized screen, which was used to divide the second floor into two parts: the living room and the dining room.

The screen is quite simple. The wooden frame is a specialty cross-stitch of the Slime Basin, or a different world style. It faces the living room with peony flowers blooming and wealth, and towards the restaurant with lotus and carp every year.

There is also a cross-stitch screen in the study on the third floor, with pine, bamboo, orchid, and chrysanthemums on one side and mountain flowing water on the other.

Charles found that the cross stitch in the Slime Basin was very popular among the ordinary people, and compared with expensive tapestries and oil paintings, this kind of home decoration is really cheap.

After lunch, he went back to the air-conditioned bedroom to take a nap, and came to the kitchen when Aunt Donggua was at work at 2 o'clock.

When Aunt Donggua came here today, she brought a lot of things, including a big wintergua and a bag of cleaned shells such as river clams.

She asked Charles: "Master, what refreshment should I do today?"

Charles checked the soaked shrimp and replied, "I will teach you how to make shrimp dumplings first. This is the gift for today. After I finish it, I will teach you how to make winter melon candy."

Aunt Donggua said tentatively: "I can learn so much from the master, and I can open a restaurant in the future."

Charles smiled and said indifferently: "That depends on how much skills you can learn from Master."

After he finished speaking, he started to teach Aunt Donggua to make shrimp dumplings.

First, put the soaked whole shrimp, the remaining fat meat and bamboo shoots that were secretly made through teleportation techniques, and put them in a bowl with salt and wine to marinate them to make the filling.

Because there was no clear flour, Charles then used the traditional snack flour dumpling method in his hometown to make the skin. He first added some rice flour to make rice slurry and steamed it, and then mixed it with the raw rice flour to knead it into a ball. However, this time there was no time to ferment and sour, so he used it directly to make the dumpling skin.

Next was the time to make dumplings. The skin was very soft, so Charles pinched the whole shrimp dumpling into the shape of a little white rabbit, and finally cut a little carrot to make the eyes.

He also said to Aunt Donggua: "If this shrimp dumpling is made into a ball, it will give people a general feeling. If it takes some effort to make it better, it will be very attractive. If it is more expensive, people are willing to buy it."

Because there was no steamer cloth, Charles simply cut thin carrot slices and stuffed them between the shrimp dumplings and the steamer, which was quite unique.

Aunt Donggua looked at the ten little white rabbit-shaped shrimp dumplings put in the steamer and said, "I don't want to eat them so beautiful."

Charles smiled and shook his head, then said, "I'll burn the shells to ashes later. You can cut the winter melon into strips as big as a little finger."

Aunt Donggua hurriedly said, "Let me do something like burning shells."

After she finished speaking, she took a basin and took out a river clam shell from the sack bag with one hand, and muttered a few words in a low voice.

I saw a hot flame coming out of her palm, and then

caco??caoco?↑

The river clam shell was burned to ashes in a moment.

Charles, who was cutting the winter melon, almost cut his finger. He asked in surprise: "Do you master this magic?"

Aunt Donggua replied a little embarrassedly: "Didn't you let that kid get familiar with the pronunciation first? I'll try it."

Charles wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Be prepared to practice this magic in the future so as not to burn the house."

Aunt Donggua smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, we were taking a shower at that time... Oh, what did I do with the master?"

Charles said in a different way: "It is convenient to take a hot bath in winter."

After cutting the winter melon strips, he told the winter melon aunt to boil the shells and add water to enter. He put it in for a while and took the clear water on it and soaked the winter melon strips until tomorrow.

The squid left the kitchen and came to the third floor, sat on the rocking chair, and took out the "Elizabeth's theory" written to him and studied it.

At 10:00 a.m., a guest came to the building on time and left shortly afterwards.

At about three o'clock, Aunt Donggua carried a tray to the roof. There was a pot of tea and tea cup in the tray, a regular dish with seven shrimp dumplings, and a delicate porcelain dish with three slime jelly with flesh inside.

After putting down the things, Aunt Donggua said, "Master, my neighbor has sent me some snacks. I have given you three shrimp dumplings as a return gift as your instructions."

Charles replied: "Tomorrow's refreshments are ready and delivered at 15:00 a.m., the neighbors take the initiative to deliver them for the past two days, so we must take the initiative. If the other party does not refuse, then take the initiative to deliver them the next day."

Aunt Donggua agreed and left.

Charles tried to eat a piece of slime jelly sent by his neighbor, which was peach-flavored and had a small piece of flesh inside.

He could confirm that the neighbor was not an ordinary person. When he checked in on the first day, he saw that the neighbor's clothes dried in the yard were all high-end goods, but there was a place where he dried his clothes the next day.

The refreshments I sent these two days are also good things, and I am sure they are nobles who are not short of money.

In addition, the girl I saw during morning exercises have similar appearances to Brother Jingjie, so the neighbor is most likely to be Brother Jingjie’s sister, the princess of this country.

The wind gradually became stronger, there were more clouds in the sky, and the surroundings were no longer so hot.

Charles didn't remember when he fell asleep in the comfortable wind, and when he opened his eyes, the sunset was beginning to climb into the sky.

Not long after, it was time for supper.

Tonight, Aunt Donggua stewed Charles a pot with fresh wild boar, peas and leftover carrots from shrimp dumplings.

In the south, various beans are ordinary people's staple food, and stewing a pot can save fuel expenses, so he is used to eating them.

When he finished his meal, it was already dark and the town was already silent.

In order to save the expense of candles and lamp oil, many people went to bed and prayed to Lingmeng shortly after dark, and then went to bed.

Those men with some extra money will set aside a fixed budget every month to the tavern for a drink.

They go to the tavern to drink not just for the sake of their taste. Their heads of each family are themselves a social activity. Many neighbors' communication and coordination, and even some conflicts and disputes are resolved here.

If a man from a family never enters a tavern, he will be considered an unsociable person and gradually become alienated.

So even if you don’t have much money, you have to squeeze out a little to go to the tavern for ten days and half a month, order the cheapest glass of wine and brag with others.

If you really don’t have any money at all, then you can do it. It’s not natural for poor people to be favored.

These people often have habitual seats, and these positions have been regarded as fixed positions over the years.

An outsider like Charles can only sit at the bar. He ordered a glass of wine with sliced ​​ginger, star anise, cinnamon and several herbs, and heated it to 70 to 80 degrees.
