Chapter 1896 Can’t buy small intestines
“Can these things be grilled?” In Mai Xiaomiao’s impression, barbecue means red sausage, ham, steak, chicken wings, chicken legs, etc. Seeing Zhou Zhi is weird. Everyone was buying it, so I couldn’t help but ask.
"In addition to barbecue, we can also make Teppanyaki, which is similar to barbecue." Zhou Zhi patiently taught: "Yellow throat, tripe, and chicken gizzards are also delicious when made on Teppanyaki."
“The squid is also good.” This young couple wants to treat a big guest With a look on her face, the proprietress pointed to the more expensive ones and recommended: "There are also prawns. My shop leaves at three o'clock and just brought them from the airport. They are so fresh!"
"Can you make elbows?" Mai Xiao Miao looked at those transparent shrimps and thought they must be delicious.
"If you like it, just weigh it. In fact, I prefer river shrimp and fried leeks." Zhou Zhi said, "But it's not easy to buy here. The chilled squid is not bad. Can the boss lady help us change the knife?"
"Cut the squid flowers?"
"Yes."
"Okay."
"Then let's call this piece, and you can help us change it into squid flowers."
After loading more than a dozen ingredients and leaving the hot pot stall, Mai Xiaomiao whispered: "Elbow elbow."
"What?"
"You didn't seem to be helping the boss just now. Tipping.”
“Oh, you don’t need to tip in China.”
“But she cut the squid for us, which is different from ordinary vendors.”
"Hahaha, you only saw her cutting the squid for us, but you didn't see how much water she put into the bag when weighing the squid." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "China is very big, and this kind of semi-processing of ingredients in the wet market This custom is very popular in the south of the Yangtze River, and no one will pay more. For traders, this in itself is A kind of sales promotion. "
"But it's not very popular in the north."
"Oh." Mai Xiaomiao felt that he had learned a lot today: "Huh? ? Why is it so cheap? "
A cart is placed on the side of a vendor's stall, and the cart is full of cabbage.
This is a kind of green vegetable. The bottom of the green vegetable is a larger pile. The skin is scraped off, and inside is the white and sweet cabbage head. It is a vegetable that people in Sichuan like very much.
There are many green thick petioles on the pile. This kind of petiole has a slightly bitter taste, but it is a rare delicacy for Jiachuan people.
Jiachuan people like to cut the petioles of this green vegetable into shreds and stir-fry beef with pickled peppers. The taste is unparalleled.
However, people in Shudu don't know how to cook this dish, and they don't like to eat this kind of leaf stalks. They usually buy them home and make them into small pickles. They don't consume much, so they are very cheap.
The vendor owner mainly sells vegetables. These vegetable stalks are directly sold in baskets. A large plastic basket only costs one yuan.
"How about adding a vegetable for lunch? This dish is my specialty, oh, Xueshan is also good at making this dish." "Is it this green vegetable? Then buy it quickly." Mai Xiaomiao was so excited, Thinking that I picked up a big leak: "Cheaper than feed!"
What he said made the people around him and even the vendors look at them with strange eyes. Zhou Zhi was so frightened that he quickly apologized: "She grew up in a foreign country and just came back not long ago. She doesn't know how to speak. I'm sorry..."
“Hey, I’m still a young overseas Chinese. "The boss thought that Mai Xiaomiao's appearance was a little different before, but now he was doubtful, but his attitude improved: "Which country are you from?"
"From the United States, there is no such dish." Mai Xiaomiao is honest.
“This vegetable stick is delicious, but the stick is a bit bitter, so I sold it casually.” The boss said: “How about I choose a few sticks for you to try?”
I was not careful with my words just now. , now Zhou Zhi is embarrassed to refuse: "Then choose three vegetables, and this pole will also give us two baskets."
"Just give me money for the sticks, and I'll give you the vegetable sticks." The boss was not stingy: "Anyway, when the market closes, it's just like what the little girl said, and everyone raises a lot of chickens and rabbits. Gone. ”
Nowadays, the vast majority of Chinese people are still very polite and enthusiastic towards foreigners and overseas Chinese.
“This stir-fried beef is also delicious.” Seeing the boss’s enthusiasm, Zhou Zhi decided to contribute his specialty dishes to help the boss boost business.
“What the young man said is a bit funny.” An aunt on the side was amused: “This is paired with beef, isn’t it just like what was said in the cross talk, where you made dumplings just to be jealous?”
This statement is actually a bit cliché, but Mai Xiaomiao seems to have never heard of it, and she immediately made her laugh non-stop.
This reaction actually changed the impression of several aunts who had some objections to her before. They felt that this girl was just innocent and simple, but they still warned Zhou Zhi: "You haven't met your parents yet, right? Young man, although the little girl is Overseas Chinese should be taught The rules still need to be taught..."
After hearing this, Zhou Zang didn’t dare to stay here any longer. When the vegetable sticks were weighed, he didn’t want to ask the vendor to help him cut them. He just packed a big bag of vegetable sticks and took them with him. Mai Xiaomiao didn't understand at all and fled the scene.
Beef stalls are not what Mai Xiaomiao is familiar with. In her impression, cows do not have tendons and offal, but are neat and beautiful pieces of meat. The beef stalls in China are quite smelly. The beef they sell is also very strange. Some are not in decent pieces, and some are very thin, with alternating fat and thin. They are very different from the square or round whole pieces of lean meat in American supermarkets.
In fact, Chinese supermarkets will be the same in the future. The real difference may still be the head, hoof, tail and internal organs.
You have to get these parts of the cucumber strips early, as they are all sold out early in the morning. If you come here at this time, the back of the neck is almost the best part.
It was almost done after buying the things. Zhou Zhi was dragging the trailer and was about to go back, but was pulled back by Mai Xiaomiao: "Elbow, yesterday's... grilled small intestine was quite delicious..."
"It's late autumn now, and the small intestines are all used to make casings." Zhou Zhi pointed to the sausages hanging beside the butcher shop and the bustling aunts waiting to buy meat for sausages: "At this time of year, Pork shops are their home. ”
In 1995, life in the city had become visibly richer. In fact, starting from 1985, there were already shops making OEM sausages and bacon. However, everyone still habitually made it at home, and smoked it on the roof of their dormitory, outside the yard, by the river and other open areas. Therefore, the butcher shop OEM business was still very fragmented at that time.
After smoking meat was no longer allowed in the city in the past two years, the butcher shop OEM business became very popular. People bought the meat at the butcher shop and ground it in the shop with a meat grinder. Okay, mix it, fill it, hang it up, then write your name tag, leave with satisfaction, and wait until next week to claim your smoked bacon sausage.
In fact, it is estimated that no one can identify the sausage that has been dehydrated by more than 30% after being smoked. Is he watching the stuffed sausage? If the seller replaces the sausage and only keeps the label, this lawsuit will be filed. There is no way to fight. The main thing between buyers and buyers is mutual trust.
This method also made Mai Xiaomiao find it very interesting. It was the first time that she knew that the casing outside the sausage was made of small intestine. She pulled Zhou Zhi's clothes and looked at it for a long time in curiosity.
