Chapter 1 Dongpo Elbow (Part 1)
1
In the afternoon, the bluestone slab was warming up, and a loud roar came from Anye Lane on the south side of Shuangqiao County.
"Boy, stop me!"
Hearing the sound, the round figure ran faster, and ran east and west into the restaurant at the entrance of the alley.
The sign on the restaurant door reads "Liuqiao Restaurant". There are three tables neatly placed in the store, and there is no one inside.
The little fat man stepped into the restaurant door, panting, and shouting loudly: "Sister Qian, sister, save me!"
poked out his head with a bun from behind the curtain in the inner room. Seeing the little fat man sweating heavily, Qian Liuqiao asked with a smile with his eyes bent, "Dongpo, are you running all over the street again by your mother?"
The little fat man Jia Dongpo waved his hand and muttered in a low voice, "What's the good thing about reading?"
Qian Liuqiao didn't hear it clearly. He opened his mouth to ask, but when he heard a "gugu" sound from Dongpo's stomach, he changed his tone: "What do you want to eat?"
" Dongpo pork ." Hearing that there was something to eat, Jia Dongpo's eyes shone, touched his stomach, and opened his mouth to point Dongpo pork.
Qian Liuqiao paused, looked at his round belly, frowned, "Do you have Dongpo's elbows without Dongpo's pork?"
"Okay" Before she could sneak out of Jia Dongpo's mouth, Aunt Mei shouted at the door of the restaurant: "No. Look at your belly, others pretend to be poetry and books, but you pretend to be meat."
"You don't study in a private school, and you still have the face to eat elbows, come here for me."
Jia Dongpo's shoulder slowly collapsed with Aunt Mei's words, lowered her head and told Liuqiao to come again next time, turned around and walked towards the door, stood in front of Aunt Mei, and shouted "Mother".
Sister Mei pulled the corners of her mouth, said hello to Qian Liuqiao awkwardly, and took Jia Dongpo to the alley.
round Jia Dongpo drooped his head and followed Sister Mei silently, dragging forward. The excitement around him was incompatible with him.

Liu Qiao stood at the entrance of the shop and looked at the figures of the mother and son in the distance. A smell came out. She came back to her senses and ran towards the kitchen.
The water in the pot has been boiled. Liu Qiao put the pot aside with a cloth and looked at the bottom of the pot for a long time: "It seems that it's okay."
She scooped the water and poured it in. When she heard a "wow", she leaned into it and looked in. There was only a hole as big as a bowl at the bottom of the pot. Liu Qiao sighed softly, the price of watching the show was a bit too high.
changed into a new pot and prepared for the evening meal again. The second pot of buns was just steamed, and someone outside was shouting: "Just Qiao."
Liu Qiao added a scoop of water to the pot, rubbed her hands on her apron and walked out. Seeing Sister Mei standing in the middle of the shop embarrassedly, holding her hands in both hands, she couldn't tell at all the way to chase her son just now with a stick.
"Sister Mei." Liu Qiao smiled and greeted her, guessing in her heart what she was coming here for now. It was not a meal time. She couldn't help anything except cooking.
Sister Mei hesitated for a while and expressed her intention: "Sister Qiao, I want to buy the elbow that my Dongpo just wanted."
"Sister Mei, then you have to wait a while, I have to make it now."
"Don't worry." Sister Mei waved her hand and gestured, her lips moved: "Sister Qiao, there is something else. Sister Mei wants you to help me."
these words stopped Liu Qiao, who was going to be Dongpo's elbow. She turned around and looked at Sister Mei, waiting for her to continue talking.
Sister Mei is on Double Ten Thousand this year. She married into the Jia family fifteen years ago. Her maiden name is Du.
At first, she was unwilling to do so, but her younger brother needed money to go to a private school. The Du family's parents had never seen anyone before. They accepted the Jia family's betrothal gift of five taels of silver, and turned to the private school to hand over Shuyou to Brother Du.
No one told Sister Mei about this. She slept for a while and wanted to work in the morning. She found that the door of the house was locked. She saw two locks hanging through the crack of the door. The mother of the Du family cried and asked Sister Mei to marry with peace of mind. In the future, Brother Du became famous and could also stand up straight and walk horizontally in her in-laws' house.
Sister Mei pretended to agree to marry her for her younger brother's future and wanted to have a meal with her family before getting married. She suggested that she wanted to cook. The parents of the Du family said that she was going to be a bride soon, so she would not be too tired and just let her wait for the meal.
When eating, her parents kept picking up food for her. She experienced the love she had not enjoyed in the past decade, even though she knew it was all for her to exchange for money.
Sister Mei finished the meal in a complicated mood and married into the Jia family the next day and became Carpenter Jia's wife.
Sister Mei thought that ten taels of silver could buy out the nurturing of the Du family, but the world did not fulfill its wish.
Carpenter Jia is not only good at craftsmanship, but also always think of fashionable styles in his mind.
Zhang sen of the county married his daughter and asked Carpenter Jia to make a good set of aquatic rhododendron furniture. The style was beautiful and practical. Zhang sen was in a good mood and said bluntly that he would find Carpenter Jia in the future.
For a time, Carpenter Jia's craftsmanship spread. No matter how big or small the furniture, people in the county like to find Carpenter Jia, and the life of the Jia family gradually improved.
After Du's parents found out, they ran to the carpenter's shop and Jia's door several times to make a fuss, saying that after Sister Mei got married, she ignored her parents' life and death and only enjoyed herself. Carpenter Jia is a real person and a filial son. He gave the money in his hand to the Yue family again and again.
This situation became even worse after Du Xiaodi took the exam for Tongsheng. Du's parents showed off "My son will definitely be a scholar in the future" and asked Sister Mei to give him a betrothal gift to him and ask him for a wife.
In order to get rid of his mother's family, Sister Mei named his son Dongpo and sent Dongpo to the best private school in the county. She hopes that he will be able to participate in the imperial examination one day and compare with Brother Du.
Who knows that Jia Dongpo only has the foodie attributes of Mr. Dongpo, but does not have the knowledge and spirituality of Mr. Dongpo. He only wants to find delicious food every day. His biggest wish is to be a good cook and make Sister Mei angry.

Sister Mei vomited all her experiences, Liuqiao added her third tea and waited for her to continue saying that she hadn't heard the following for a long time. Liuqiao thought about the whole thing in the kitchen and couldn't help asking Sister Mei what she wanted to help.
"Sister Qiao, I know you are knowledgeable. Please think of a way to let my Dongpo study hard and give me a sigh."
Looking at Sister Mei's clenched fists, Liu Qiao felt that it was too big to be a stern official to do business. She didn't want to take this hot potato at all.
"Sister Mei, I'll do Dongpo's elbow first, let me think about other things before talking about them."
Liu Qiao didn't see Sister Mei's reaction, and went into the kitchen in three steps and sighed that it was not easy to be a parent, so she started to prepare Dongpo's elbow.
fry the sugar color over low heat. After the sugar color becomes darker, add hot water and throw in the spices such as cinnamon, bay leaves and cinnamon.
Liu Qiao remembered that she had the first time stir-frying sugar color to make braised pork. As a result, the heat was too big, the sugar color turned into black residue, and the sweet braised pork became slightly bitter, but the meat was not cheap. Her father scolded her and ate it clean. Seven or eight years have passed, and now he is the only one left, the small shop left by his parents.
aroma made Liu Qiao come back to her senses. She put the elbows prepared in advance into the pot, added white wine, scallion slices and ginger slices, added boiling water to cover the elbows, and then boiled over low heat.
This is a time-consuming dish. Make the heat well and continue to work on the ingredients you need at night. From time to time, turn your elbows over.
After waiting for an hour, she opened the pot to check if the elbows were messy, then used high heat to collect the juice, pour the soup on the soup in batches and color it, until the elbows are evenly colored, and then took out the elbows, and continued to boil the soup in the pot and pour it onto the elbows.
A Dongpo elbow was prepared, and Liuqiao's ingredients were almost ready at night. She took the elbow to the outside room and found that Sister Mei was still sitting in place, staring at the teacup, like a wood carving. She sighed secretly and asked Sister Mei to take the elbow back first.
"I will find the opportunity to persuade Dongpo. It's getting dark. Sister Mei, you go back first."
The sun sets, and Liu Qiao walks around the restaurant. Several waves of regular customers came to the door. When they looked up, they saw that they were full and shook their heads and left.
and the last diner stepped out of the restaurant and cleaned up the table. Looking at the small shop where there were not many tables of diners, it seemed that it was time to add a few tables.
0 Days lingered until the end of the month. Old Man Ma who runs a grocery store next to him was taken to the next county for retirement by his son, and the shop offered a price of 50 taels of silver to resell.
As soon as I dozed off, someone gave me a pillow.
Liu Qiao stared at the resale notice and looked carefully twice. He calculated the money in his hand. After all, he was still thirty taels away. He could only shake his head and go back to the restaurant temporarily.

On the second day, Liu Qiao brought the hibiscus cake that Old Man Ma liked to inquire about the situation. As soon as he stepped into the grocery store, Old Man Ma looked at her and laughed: "Sister Qiao came for this shop too."
Liu Qiao pushed the hibiscus cake in front of Old Man Ma and sat down happily: "Yes, Uncle Ma, the shop is bigger, so you can make more money."
"Sister Qiao, we have been a neighbor for many years. If you take forty taels, this shop will belong to you. This cake is delicious." Old Man Ma ate the hibiscus cake and gave Liu Qiao the lowest price.
Liu Qiao wanted to bargain, but Old Man Ma shook his head. The money was to buy a yard in the next county, and it could not be less. She had no choice but to stop and say goodbye to Old Man Ma.
Just when Liu Qiao was raising money, the fat man Dongpo ran over and said, "Sister Qian, Grandpa Ma asked me to tell you that someone paid 50 taels to buy a shop. If you don't pay tomorrow, he will give it to someone else."
Qian Liu Qiao was stunned for a moment, ran to the grocery store and asked about the situation of Old Man Ma. He turned out to be the young owner of Shanhailou opposite. He wanted to open a snack shop, but he fell in love with the grocery store. She asked Old Man Ma to wait for her for a day, and she would definitely send the money.
