Chapter 51: Late Night Canteen
Xuanxuan is just a college student who has not been deeply involved in the world, and I dare not think about letting her give advice, just to change the topic.
Xuanxuan gave me a lot of ideas based on her own experience and knowledge, but basically they were unreliable, or they didn't fit my specific situation.
After flickering for a while, sending Xuanxuan away, Xu Lin came over and said, "Xuanji, you are really a lonely child."
"What do you mean?"
"Destined to be lonely for a lifetime, other girls are so active, are you blind, can't you see it?"
Xu Lin shook his head, this is already obvious, okay, a female student, who comes to the night market every day to look for you, doesn't she take a fancy to you, is it because of what, are people full of food and support?
"I'm not blind, I can see it, but I can't"
"Why not"
"The world is panicking, but for a few taels of money, if you want to fall in love and get married, you have to take responsibility, my shoulders are still very immature, I can't bear this responsibility for the time being, it's better not to delay others"
I shook my head, most of the troubles in the world come from the responsibility of public order and good customs, if you want to fall in love with others, you have to have the attitude of getting married, since you want to get married and have children, you have to prepare the material foundation of the garage, with these can you afford to bear the responsibility.
I feel that I am still very young and have no skills to make a living, so I can't take on this responsibility, so naturally I can't delay other girls.
"Fault, mystery, you must be stupid in the mountains, what kind of society is it now, who stipulates that if you fall in love, you have to get married, if you are together, you will come, if you don't agree, you will go, you think it is ancient, you will be responsible for a lifetime if you hold hands, in modern society, you can break up if raw rice is made into popcorn"
Xu Lin looked at me with a shocked face, this is the over-supplementation of the brain, I haven't held my hand yet, I think of getting married and having children, and I am convinced.
"There's no point in talking about this, the ambitions are different, Xu Lin, I think I've figured out what to sell next?"
"Sell what?"
"Let's make noodles, the weather is cool fast these days, I sell cold drinks in summer, hot food in winter, freshly cooked noodles, and a bowl in winter, I think it's good"
I nodded, I was in the noodle restaurant near the community before, the boss gave me this opinion, the weather was still very hot at that time, naturally it didn't work, but now the weather is getting cooler, it should be okay.
"There are all kinds of noodles all over the country, with different tastes, Henan braised noodles, Chongqing small noodles, which one do you want to make?"
"It doesn't matter, I see other people's practices in other places seem to be better"
I shook my head, I don't do either of what Xu Lin said, I saw other people's different practices when I was in Sioux City, similar to the casserole, using a small basin, cooking on the spot, and then the customer chooses the condiments themselves.
"Sounds like a lot of trouble, haven't you always been troublesome?"
After hearing this, Xu Lin said, he has been listening to me complaining, some things are very troublesome, so I don't like to do those troublesome things.
"There were some misunderstandings in the past, but in fact, it was not troublesome, you can be diligent and fast, and now I need your help"
"You say"
"Transform the cart and introduce me to a wholesale handmade noodle one"
I replied that in fact, the most important thing is the noodles, nothing else is technical, and I must not be able to compare to those masters who have been making noodles for many years, so I should just buy them.
"It's all small things, let you see what it means to be an almighty folk"
Xu Lin replied with a smile, this is very simple, Xu Lin is a person from Sichuan and Shu, and they are a large labor export province, in various regions of the country, especially in the eastern coastal areas, a large number of their fellow villagers are active, engaged in various industries, they have a lot of fellow villagers, say hello inside, and most things can be solved.
After listening to Xu Lin's words, then I am much more relieved, speaking of which, I am also the household registration of Qinghe Town under Dulong Mountain, but I have been down the mountain for more than half a year, and I have never seen a fellow countryman, and I guess I can't touch this kind of thing.
The next morning, after finishing the morning class, I went to Xu Lin and took out the cart for transformation, making noodles need to be freshly cooked, then you need liquefied gas and a stove, and the cart has to go through some transformation.
Then it was to talk about the wholesale of handmade noodles, Xu Lin didn't dare to pit me this time, so he took me to find several handmade noodles, and after comparing the quality and price, he chose one.
I immediately bought some, and then bought a lot of condiments to taste, there are a lot of condiments, mainly fish balls, beef balls, quail eggs, lean meat, pork liver, small intestine, duck gizzards, duck meat, and so on more than ten kinds, plus eggs and two kinds of greens, mainly water spinach and spinach.
"Making noodles is mainly based on the time of cooking the slim, the time is long, the noodles are too bad, not delicious, the time is short, the noodles are still filled, and you can't eat them, and you have to control the time when you eat them on the spot and pack them away."
The owner of the wholesale noodle shop is very kind, he taught me a lot of points when I bought it, and I just want to try it myself these days, don't look at the small noodles, there are still a lot of doorways inside.
"Xuanji, come and see, I found you some online teaching videos, you can take a good look at them these days"
"Okay, I'll watch it"
Xu Lin was more direct, and collected a lot of videos of food bloggers from the Internet to show me how to make noodles.
"A handful of thin noodles, half a bowl of broth, a glass of water, five dollars of lard, a spoonful of soy sauce, and two crispy cabbage ·····"
I opened a random video, this clip is the plot of a certain TV series, which is eye-catching, this method is so old-fashioned, I guess it's delicious.
It took two days for the cart and billboards, plus one day of preparation, three days, Xu Lin's family and I spent eating noodles, and after the guidance of the master, I dare not say that the technology has entered the house, but at least it will not be unpalatable, and the heat is controlled okay.
In the past few days, I have also calculated the time it takes, noodles are bought directly, no need to take time, and beef balls, fish balls do not need to be marinated, only pork liver, lean meat, duck gizzard these need to be cut and marinated, and the broth needs to be boiled in advance, but the time required is two hours enough, you only need to be diligent and fast, which is completely within my acceptance.
Of course, noodles are much more troublesome than cold noodles, and the community where I live is relatively difficult to make, so I rented a single room next door to Xu Lin's house, and bought a second-hand refrigerator to store things, and the monthly rent for a single room is 200 yuan, which is not expensive.
With Xu Lin's big mouth, on the first day of the stall, Xuanxuan came again, and she also brought two classmates to become my first batch of customers.
"Xuanji, I want beef balls, I want duck gizzards, I want eggs, why didn't you make an omelette, okay, raw eggs are fine, by the way, you have to prepare some fritters, fritters with noodle soup, it's delicious"
Xuanxuan was unceremonious, ordered several condiments after coming, and gave me suggestions to add fried eggs and fritters, these students are worthy of being foodies, okay, just add them in the future.
I'm not the only one who sells noodles in the night market, and it's no secret that the weather is getting cooler and hot food is popular.
"Boss, how do you sell this noodle?"
"There are two kinds of thick noodles and fine noodles, and the condiments can be selected for ten yuan, and if you add two yuan, the green vegetables are sent, and there are water spinach and spinach"
"Okay, I want fish balls, tofu, and lean meat, bring me fine noodles"
"Okay, eat it or pack it"
"Let's Pack"
On the first day of the stall, the business is OK, mainly because the price is not expensive, Yangcheng as a coastal city, the economy is developed, the price is naturally expensive, this is still in the night market, if it is in the urban noodle restaurant, it will start at least a dozen pieces, especially the ramen, the meat cut down is as thin as cicada wings, a few slices, the knife work is very good, but the price is really not low.
Xuanxuan accompanied us to the end on the first night, after twelve o'clock, we closed the stall, now I have two carts, one is to cook noodles, the other is a refrigerator for condiments, this refrigerator is to sell cold powder before, I spent money to renovate it, made a hook, two carts hung together, can be pushed together.
"You can't go back at night, can you?"
Pushing the cart into a single room on the first floor rented in the urban village, I said to Xuanxuan.
"Hehe, the school is closed, Xuanji, you won't let me go to the accommodation, right?"
"What kind of accommodation?"
"It's nothing, it's just a joke on the Internet"
Xuanxuan pouted, yes, she knew again that someone was not only a straight man, but was about to leave society, and she didn't even know such a famous joke.
"Okay, go back"
I sighed and took Xuanxuan back.
"I haven't thrown away what you used last time, go on, don't waste it"
"Okay, then I'll go take a shower first."
Xuanxuan stuck out her tongue, and then became very familiar and went to take a bath, and only came out after half an hour.
"Xuanji, you're still reading"
"No, just pass the time, Xuanxuan, come and sit and tell you something"
"Okay, what are you going to say?"
Xuanxuan suddenly felt a little apprehensive, no, no, wouldn't it be too fast to confess so quickly.
"Some words don't sound good, maybe I'm too narcissistic, Xuanxuan, do you like me?"
"You, you, you..."
Xuanxuan was shocked, this is really very narcissistic.
"Ahem, Xuanxuan, that's the case, you also know who I am, I'm just a scumbag who hasn't graduated from junior high school, poor, what about you, beautiful college student, don't..."
"You're narcissistic, Mystery"
Xuanxuan suddenly interrupted me, made me stunned for a moment, and said, "Okay, I'm narcissistic, let's be good friends in the future, otherwise brother and sister will do the same"
"I'm older than you, call me sister"
"Yes, sister"
"Hey, good, stinky brother"
"I haven't taken a shower yet, but it does stink"
I sniffed my body, and the boiled noodles were hot, and they did stink.
"Poof, then you go take a shower, I'm going to sleep"
Xuanxuan chuckled, and then walked into the room.
"Crazy, I'm really crazy, you dead straight man, bastard"
As soon as she entered the door, Xuanxuan gritted her teeth, eager to smash it, how could there be such a bastard, could it be that her charm had decayed to this extent?
