Chapter 55 Pickled Sugar and Garlic
After that, he glanced at Zhang Mingyi helplessly.
This person is really stupid. He asked the master for money at this time. If he got angry and confiscated all the remaining things, not to mention the compensation, lunch would be missing!
“The ten cents of love are not in this ten cents.” Shen Yongan counted the ten cents and handed them to the two of them. I will be angry with you because of this, but the masters just warned you this morning, you should restrain yourself."
"Yes." Fan Pingyang said hurriedly, "We are no longer like this, but it is true at noon today. The order was made two days ago. I have no choice but to do this to keep my integrity. I hope you will understand me.”
"He is an honest person." Shen Yong'an nodded, "Well, I won't pursue this matter much, but if you dare to do this next time, you will be severely punished!"
"Yes."
After Zhang Mingyi and Fan Pingyang responded tremblingly, they didn't hear the next reprimand for a while. When they looked up again, all they saw was Shen Yongan's leaving figure.
“What happened to Master Shen today that he was so gentle?” Zhang Mingyi wiped the sweat from his forehead, “I thought he was going to scold both of us severely.”< br>
“Eating people has a short mouth, and the master is no exception.” Fan Pingyang looked very understanding.
"But Mr. Shen is not usually a person who likes food and drink."
Zhang Mingyi is still puzzled.
How could the two of them be spared in vain just because of a meat dumpling?
“We were not greedy people before.” Fan Pingyang rolled his eyes, “Isn’t it just because we haven’t eaten the food cooked by Madam Xia before?”
“ There is some truth to that..."
The reason why I say I don't have good appetite is just because I haven't eaten delicious food.
Even Master Shen would not be able to eat in front of Lady Xia’s cooking!
Zhang Mingyi felt at ease, but he was also afraid that Master Shen would come back, or that another master would come back. He did not stay much, but just took things with Fan Pingyang and left in a hurry.
Shen Yongan, who took the rice dumplings and left, stopped at the corner.
Seeing no one around, he put the rice dumpling into his mouth.
The soft, glutinous and fragrant taste instantly spreads in the mouth. The taste is more wonderful than the candied date rice dumplings I ate last time. The most important thing is that the taste is very similar to the meat rice dumplings in my hometown.
"The taste of this meat dumpling..."
It's as delicious as the ones in my hometown.
Shen Yongan took a deep breath.
——
Without the daily food orders from the county school, Xia Mingyue put all her focus on teaching Jiang Erniu his craftsmanship and helping him choose a location to open a food stall.
Jiang Erniu is very attentive when it comes to learning crafts. In just a few days, he can make cakes, wrap wontons, and cook wontons very skillfully.
As for the location of this food stall...
There was an order from the county school before. Xia Mingyue originally planned to have Jiang Erniu set up a stall on East Street. It was very fixed at first. secondly, it can also share the business pressure of her place.
But with the current situation in the county school, Xia Mingyue was worried that it would be counterproductive, so she set her sights on Beida Street again.
Beicheng District, where North Street is located, is not as dignified and respectable as people in Dongcheng District, but it has a large population, and most of them are people who do manual labor. After working hard to make money, the first thing that comes to mind is food.
Therefore, although the people here are not as wealthy as those in Dongcheng District, their consumption potential is quite large, and it is a better place than Xicheng District.
The determined area was searched on site and finally a place was determined. It is at the entrance of an alley, and the place is quite spacious. However, the place here is not free of charge. You have to pay fifty copper coins every month.
After paying, you can help look after the tables, chairs and stove at night, and you can even use the well in the backyard to get water.
Overall, it is convenient and cost-effective.
Jiang Erniu made up his mind to decide on this place and began to prepare various things such as shed, tables and chairs, stove, bowls and chopsticks.
In the afternoon, the rain fell like feathers, pattering.
"The sky has been gloomy for most of the day, and the rain has finally fallen." Looking at the water drops constantly dripping from the eaves, Ms. Lu sighed, "But it rains at the right time. If it rains again in the morning I’m afraid I’ll have to get wet on the road while I’m eating.”
Actually, it’s not a heavy rain, but it feels quite desolate to work in the rain.
"It's good to see no wind in this rainy light." Jiang Zhuguo said.
Wheat harvesting begins after the Dragon Boat Festival. This is the time when the wheat grains grow and mature. If the wind blows, the wheat grains will not grow well, and the wheat stalks will be damaged by the strong wind. If it lies on the ground, it is difficult to harvest. If the wheat grains are stuck to the soil, they will easily mold and germinate directly.
Jiang Zhuguo was born in a farming family, and his family also has two acres of farmland, so he is very concerned about farming.
Xia Mingyue looked at the gloomy sky like the bottom of a pot, "I'm afraid it's going to rain like this for a long time. I'm afraid it may not stop tomorrow. If it doesn't work, we might as well close for the day tomorrow."
It’s been a busy day and everyone is tired, so it’s time to take a rest.
"Brother Jiang, please prepare some odds and ends for the opening in a few days." Xia Mingyue said.
"That's fine." Everyone agreed with this.
After everything was washed and washed, and there was no need to prepare the ingredients for tomorrow’s stall, everyone went back to do their own things.
Xia Mingyue took out a lot of garlic that Lu helped buy in the past two days and began to peel the garlic.
The garlic is all new this year and has not been completely dried. When peeling new garlic, you do not need to peel it cleanly. You only need to remove the root of the garlic, peel off the outermost skin of the garlic, and keep the garlic. Just its own layer of garlic skin and complete shape.
Wash, dry, and put them all into clean and dried earthen jars.
Mix white vinegar and white sugar to a boil, let it cool completely, mix some white wine into the earthen pot, completely submerge all the garlic, and finally close the lid.
To ensure the sealing effect of the earthen jar, Xia Mingyue dropped some wax oil on the edge.
After this jar was ready, Xia Mingyue marinated the second jar.
This time, Xia Mingyue used darker rice vinegar and brown sugar.
In this way, the first jar will be the white sugar garlic, and the second jar will be the reddish brown sugar garlic. The two have the same taste, but the visual effects are different. If you eat them together, they will become more delicious. I feel like I have a big appetite.
Xia Mingyue placed two jars of sugar and garlic on the wall of the back room, preparing to eat them in half a month.
Thinking of the crisp and refreshing, sweet and sour taste, Xia Mingyue's mouth was watering now, so that she had to peel some new garlic at night, put it in a garlic mortar and pounded it into minced garlic. Add salt and water, add some sesame oil, and make a small bowl of garlic sauce with a fragrant garlic aroma.
Then the question is, now that we have garlic juice, we need to make meals that can match the garlic juice.
After thinking for a moment, Xia Mingyue reached out to the celery placed in the corner of the kitchen.
It's the end of the month, please give me a monthly ticket, I hope I can be ranked among the top 100~
