Chapter 180: Creativity
Yu Fei took it honestly and said with a smile: "I'll keep it for Xiaoqin for a while." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Boss Ge wanted to speak and stopped. In fact, it stands to reason that ordinary people are men who take the money, after all, they are the heads of the family. But-alas, Yu Fei's situation, leave it to Xiaoqin and leave it to her, it looks like she is indeed treating Yu Fei wholeheartedly, so it's better not to say some things.
Li Qin didn't know what was going on in the house, she and Sister-in-law Ge and Ge Xiaoying were making sugar gourds and sugar snowballs in the kitchen.
The main thing to eat in these two is boiled sugar. Generally, the method of boiling sugar is similar, so to speak, boiling sugar is a contest between rock sugar and fire. Put the sugar and water in the pot together, use high heat at the beginning of the pot, turn to medium heat after the bubbles become smaller, and turn to low heat when there are no bubbles, so as to ensure that the syrup is inconvenient to solidify. The scale of this period is only the difference between the firewood being at the bottom of the stove, at the door of the stove pit or withdrawing to maintain the residual temperature. If you are not careful, if the fire is not well mastered and big, the sugar will turn red or even mushy, affecting the taste.
Li Qin told the two of them the trick of boiling sugar, and each one was poured into a wooden tray. It had already been smeared with a thin layer of cooked oil to prevent the syrup from sticking to the wood. One tray was full, and she continued to put it in another tray sprinkled with ripe sesame seeds, so that the outermost layer of hawthorn, which was already covered with syrup, was glued with fragrant sesame seeds.
After making the sugar gourd, Ge Xiaoying helped take it out and freeze it, and Li Qin began to make sugar snowballs. The sugar of the sugar snowball is not the same as that of the sugar gourd. When Li Qin boiled rock sugar and water in the pot to make the bubbles smaller and a little sticky, Li Qin added a spoonful of white vinegar to it and mixed well. At this time, immediately withdraw the fire, then pour in the hawthorn, stirring gently and constantly. At this time, everyone realized that the syrup that should have been browned turned snow-white at this time, and obediently stuck to the hawthorn.
But apparently Li Qin's hawthorn is a little less, the sugar is a little too much, and there are still a lot left in the pot. Without waiting for Sister-in-law Ge, Li Qin poured the peanut kernels he had picked up before into it at once, and there was another stirring, and the peanut kernels were also covered with snow-white sugar coating.
Sugar snowballs and sugar peanuts are better than sugar gourds in that they don't need to be deliberately frozen, and they can be eaten as soon as the sugar coating on the outside is condensed. Sister-in-law Ge picked up a sugar peanut and put it in her mouth, it was really sweet and crispy, and it was delicious!
Li Qin and the Ge family were already very familiar with each other, and they immediately knocked off Sister-in-law Ge's hand to continue eating, and said, "There are sugar snowballs to eat, this one will be served on the table in a while, and Uncle Ge will serve them wine." ”
Sister-in-law Ge hurriedly rubbed her hand that didn't hurt at all, and said, "No, let me taste one more, I think this thing is better to sell!"
But after tasting it, she didn't follow it again, "No, you have to taste it for everyone first!"
Li Qin's short time together during this period of time also felt the wealth fan character of Boss Ge and his wife. Probably because they have been working in the town for a living all year round, their thirst for money is stronger than others. But at the same time, they also have the boldness of the mountains, and they will not pick and spend money when they earn it. Li Qin firmly believes that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. Since the method is reasonable, what is wrong with loving money?
Li Qin said that he wanted to keep it for Uncle Ge and them to drink, but in fact, it was just a joke. There are so many dishes, and this one dish is not bad for wine. And if Uncle Ge likes it and needs this thing to drink, then Li Qin can make another plate, and it is not difficult for her to influence this thing.
The sugar peanuts are sweet and crispy, and they have been well received by everyone as soon as they are served. Northerners like salty, so there are very few sweet foods, and because of this, Li Qin's sweets are so popular.
Then the big guy ate the sugar snowball again, which is a little different from the rock sugar gourd everyone has eaten. The sugar is thicker and harder than the sugar gourd, and it tastes crispier, but it is not as greasy as the sugar on the outside of the sugar gourd. And in terms of appearance alone, the sugar snowball is like a red fruit in the snow, which has a unique taste.
The Ge family gave unanimous praise, and they all felt that these two things would be very good if they were retailed at the stall. Besides, Li Qin also said that this sugar snowball is not as squeamish as the rock sugar gourd, and the sugar outside is not easy to melt, so it can be sold even in summer.
"This sugar peanut is good!" Ge Lao Dao, "Xiaoqin also said last time, the most important thing we need in Qingshan Town is soldiers." This sugar peanut is easy to bring, they can buy a lot of it as a grinding tooth when they buy it, and sometimes they can make a snack or something, and ordinary people can afford to eat it. I think this will definitely sell well!"
"Not necessarily, I think this sugar snowball is not bad either. Sister-in-law Ge said, "This thing is sweet and sour, and it doesn't matter what season it is." Children, girls and the elderly can eat as snacks. Buy a bunch of sugar gourds, you have to eat them all in one go, buy a pack of this thing, and give the child one every three or five days, isn't it good?"
Seeing that the young couple was arguing because of this, Aunt Ge said, "If you want me to say, if you sell both, you can sell them well! The most important thing is that these two things are cheap! The cost is low, the price is low, and you can sell more." Let's still follow the old rules, since Xiaoqin proposed to do it, how about we still divide it into four or six?"
Li Qin smiled, "I don't have any opinion." It's just hard brother and sister-in-law, this thing has low profits, so you have to work hard. ”
"Who doesn't work hard to make money in this town?" Sister-in-law Ge didn't think so, "The cost of the previous oil tea noodles and sesame paste, especially the sesame paste, was too high, and everyone just tried it, who can drink this every day? So I think these two snacks are the best, and they can be bought and sold every day!"
When Sister-in-law Ge said this, Li Qin was a little embarrassed. When she entered the mountain, she couldn't even help at all, it was all up to the Ge family, and she was divided into four or six with them. What's more, she didn't think it was a big deal for her to mention the idea. Although few people in the north know about it, these are all very common snacks in the capital.
The Ge family is affordable, and she keeps these in mind.
After finalizing the matter, everyone played cards for a while, and it was almost noon when some slightly more complicated dishes were about to be put into the pot.
Ge Xiaoying also has some hobbies for cooking, so she went to the ground to help Li Qin. Just as she was about to go out to pick up two chopping wood stumbling blocks, she saw two people standing at the gate, looking inside.
"Brother Hu, sister-in-law Hu!"
Hearing Ge Xiaoying's voice, Li Qin also looked out of the door and saw that it was Hu Yuan and his wife.
