My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 94 - 95: Want to Eat Braised Food_1

*Cough cough*, getting back to the point, she just wanted to nurture a pot of marinade because she craved authentic soy sauce-marinated duck.

Since coming here, the seasonings were very basic, lacking even chicken bouillon; she’d grown utterly tired of it.

The beautiful proprietress told her the method for preparing the marinade because she wanted her twin sons to learn Taekwondo from Qiao Duo’er.

Keeping a marinade is a patient affair; it took about six months to cultivate a pot, and most importantly, the key was the recipe—without it, everything was in vain.

Therefore, the proprietress wasn’t worried about Qiao Duo’er stealing her craft.

However, Qiao Duo’er had been a special agent, with a keen sense of taste, and could approximately guess the seasonings used just by tasting.

Amen, she was thankful for the proprietress, thankful that she had once been a special agent.

Maintaining a marinade was a hassle, and she had not been inclined to bother with it in her past life.

But this life was hers to spend at her leisure and, once established, enjoying marinated delicacies would be effortless.

On a hot summer night, slicing a plate of marinated meat to accompany a bowl of white porridge was a thought that filled her with joy.

Besides, having been here for almost two months, she had grown accustomed to the life and it was time to think about making money.

Otherwise, how could she afford a new house by just selling medicinal herbs?

It was said that there was a dock in town where the boatmen docked to purchase supplies; marinated meats would probably sell well there.

Qiao Duo’er was the kind of person who acted once she set her mind to it, and no sooner had she set up her stall than she got moving.

After selling the medicinal herbs, she bought some herbal seasonings for taste from the pharmacy, such as galangal, tsao-ko, Sichuan pepper, cinnamon, fennel, licorice, and dried tangerine peel.

For the remaining five-spice powder, sugar, chili, soy sauce, and yellow rice wine, she would need to go to a grocery store.

This time the medicinal herbs had been gathered for almost a month, netting her One or Two Silver; Qiao Duo’er thought it over and then went to a Cloth Shop to buy fabric.

For her now, dressing and eating well were the most urgent matters.

By the time she returned home with a back basket full of items, Sun Erhu had already sold half of them.

"Sister-in-law, we’ll be done in One or Two Hours," Sun Erhu wanted to continue selling for a while longer.

"No need to wait, let’s head back," she replied.

Qiao Duo’er shook her head; the sky was growing intensely dark, so going to the grocery store seemed more reliable.

Making a few less copper coins was better than getting caught in the rain.

And there was Er Ya; with the child’s weak immune system, it would be problematic if she fell ill.

On the way back, Qiao Duo’er steeled her heart and bought two cuts of spare ribs, two pork knuckles, and two pig tails.

A good marinade required a fair amount of meat and animal organs to cultivate; she had heard the gorgeous proprietress mention that their family marinade had been maintained for five years.

Qiao Duo’er’s bold spending left Sun Erhu utterly astonished.

His sister-in-law was truly exceptional; she had stunned him twice already that day.

"Sister-in-law, can we really finish all this meat? We still have the pheasants I hunted at home," he remarked.

And there were two of them!

Sun Erhu kindly reminded her, while they were still near the pork shop, in case she had second thoughts.

Qiao Duo’er waved her hand, "I have a use for it when I buy it."

Seeing his sister-in-law’s firm decision, Sun Erhu fell silent.

He surmised she was simply craving meat, having heard that she led a bitter life before marriage; probably she had never had a satisfying meal from childhood.

No worries, the money he and Brother Hong earned was more than enough for her to spend.

Once home, Qiao Duo’er started prepping the marinade.

Before doing so, she swiftly sewed a cloth bag and washed it thoroughly with clean water. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Since she had washed and dried the fabric upon purchasing it, one more rinse meant it could be used right away.
