Chapter Forty-Nine: Big Trouble
If you want to do a good job in the braised meat business, the key is to control the taste of braised soup and master the heat, although these two processes sound very difficult, but if you really want to teach them by hand, it is not too difficult to learn some skills superficially.
Li Yanan and Li Baojun followed Li Shengnan for a few days, starting with cutting meat, slowly learning the preparation of braised soup and the cleaning of braised soup after boiling.
Although the meat marinated by their sister and brother is not as fragrant as the marinated meat marinated by Li Shengnan, and the taste is not as beautiful as Li Shengnan, it is not too unpalatable, and it is not much of a problem to fool ordinary diners.
Especially on the spicy braised pork, Li Yanan and Li Baojun even figured out an opportunistic way - when the other ingredients are similar, put some peppercorns and chili peppers into the braised soup, and as soon as the spicy taste comes up, all the other taste flaws are covered, and they can only taste the spicy and spicy taste, and even the tongue and head can't be straightened.
Li Shengnan stared at Li Yanan and Li Baojun for two days of marinated meat, and when she saw that she could explain these diners, she simply became a shopkeeper, teasing cats and taking a walk at home every day, and occasionally helped Li Yanan and Li Baojun correct their mistakes, and lived a relaxed life.
Of course, the money that should be earned every day will not be less.
It's just that the business of dried meat powder is not faster than the cycle of braised meat business, ordinary people buy braised meat once, go home and eat at most two meals and then have to eat, if you want to eat, you have to come to Wuyi Street to queue up to buy, but dry meat powder is different, even if you buy very little, only buy two or three taels at a time, then go back and eat enough to eat in the meal for two or three days, if you buy a little more, it is not a problem to eat for ten days and half a month.
When did Li Yanan and Li Baojun see so much money, when Li Shengnan officially handed over the braised meat business to Li Yanan and Li Baojun, the sister and brother lived a happy life of 'buying meat-braised meat-buying meat-counting money'.
In the afternoon, after the braised meat business was closed and the dregs in the braised soup were cleaned up, Li Yanan and Li Baojun would put all the money they earned a day on the fire in the room where Li Shengnan slept.
Today's business is not very good, I earned 20 yuan, yesterday the business was very good, I earned more than 40 yuan!
This speed of accumulating money is something that Li Yanan and Li Baojun never dared to think, who would have thought that after Li Shengnan gave them a trick, the money would be like growing legs, and it would automatically run into their pockets every day, Li Yanan and Li Baojun were happy all day long, and almost grinned behind their ears.
A few families are happy and a few are sad.
The He family is very worried, there is no other reason, the family does not have much money, in order to run a banquet for He Chaosheng and Li Shengnan, it cost a sum, and later it cost a lot to rent a low storefront shop in the county, and then Zhu Xiuzhen bought thirty catties of meat with great pride, but it was all broiled, and it added a layer of frost half a meter thick to the already stretched family economic situation. β
After eating vegetarian dishes with less oil and less fishy for several days, He Xiaomei and He Dusheng began to protest, although Su Hongmei did not say it in front of Zhu Xiuzhen and He Hu, but she couldn't eat a few chopsticks every day, He Tiansheng would sneakily bend over from outside and run back from time to time, and let He Xiaomei, who had a dog nose, smell the smell of burning meat from her.
Because He Tiansheng felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, he was willing to spend the family's money to buy meat for Su Hongmei to eat!
He Xiaomei is the youngest, it is the most confused time, she clearly remembers that when her second sister-in-law first entered the door, she ate meat and meat all day long, she was tired of eating crooked meat and eating ribs, and she could eat meat again after eating ribs, not to mention how beautiful the taste of meat was, but since her second sister-in-law left, the taste of the food in this house has become worse and worse, and the meat has become a rare guest on the table, she specially asked Zhu Xiuzhen to make her braised pork for one night, who knows that Zhu Xiuzhen's ability to shake her is particularly high, and she made a plate of braised apples for He Xiaomei lightly, how unpalatable the taste isοΌ
Anyway, the last plate of braised apples all went into He Hu's stomach, and some of the others just moved the chopsticks, and some people didn't even move the chopsticks at all, after all, it was hard to eat, and ordinary people still wouldn't take the initiative to find abuse.
He Xiaomei wanted to eat braised pork but couldn't eat it, so she could only pull Zhu Xiuzhen's sleeve and cry, but Zhu Xiuzhen was a hard-hearted master, He Xiaomei almost used all the 'one crying, two troubles, three hangings' she learned from her mother, but in the end, the strong desire to survive stopped him.
Reason told her that it was not worth the business of sacrificing her young life and freedom for a plate of meat.
After the 'braised pork' turned into 'braised apples', He Xiaomei had a serious trust difference between Zhu Xiuzhen and He Hu. She knew that no matter how much trouble she made now, she couldn't solve the problem of eating meat, so she simply didn't cry or make trouble, and stayed at home with peace of mind waiting for He Chaosheng to come back, but she had heard Zhu Xiuzhen say that her own mother couldn't swallow it in one breath, and she had already called He Chaosheng's unit, thinking that He Chaosheng would come back soon.
Thinking that He Chaosheng still had the allowance for the past few months, the smile on Zhu Xiuzhen's face became a little thicker, and she was not so wary of He Xiaomei's face.
If the family has money, Zhu Xiuzhen is not the kind of person who wants to practice her dream of buying a house by picking at the family's money, she promised He Xiaomei, "When your second brother comes back, I will talk about eating this and that, now the whole family is drinking the northwest wind, and when your second brother comes back with the allowance in the army, don't say that you want to eat braised pork? That is, if you want to eat braised pork ribs and vinegar and fat sausages, then your second brother can also get it for you!"
He Chaosheng didn't know that his mother had placed such heavy expectations on him, and she also picked up a big trouble for him by the way!
