livelihood

I still wake up very early in the morning. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

I fried a few potato cakes, made a pumpkin porridge, ate it in a hurry, told my mother that I had something to do to go to town, and went out.

When I came to the stall where I bought meat last time, I saw half of the pork on the stall, which was very fresh. The large shaved bones lay out in a corner.

In another broken bucket on the ground, the pig's large intestine was piled up haphazardly, emitting an unpleasant smell.

"Little girl, what kind of meat are you going to buy today? ”

When the butcher Zheng on the stall saw the business coming to the door, he immediately greeted him warmly.

Lu Yan was shy and unconfident.

But thinking about the situation at home, he said stubbornly:

"Can you sell me this bone cheaply? ”

"Little girl, I won't lie to you, this bone is not for sale in the first place, and no one will buy it. I usually take it home and cook it with the pig food, and the pig tastes better. If you want it, I'll give it all to you. ”

"Uncle, Cheng, I'll take it from you from now on. ”

Lu Yan happily took out two pennies and handed them over.

"Uncle, what's over there, it tastes a little ....... ”

Lu Yan asked pretending to be curious.

"It was a pig in the water, and I usually threw it away early, but my daughter-in-law didn't come today, so I left it there. Throw it away later. ”

"Can you give it to me?"

As soon as Lu Yan heard that it was going to be thrown away, she hurriedly said.

"Little girl, this pig doesn't even eat a dog when it goes into the water, what are you doing with it. ”

"I have a way to deal with it. ”

Butcher Zheng shook his head while laughing: "You little girl, what can you do, just do it." ”

tied all the pig's large intestines with palm leaves, tied a knot that could be held by hand, and gave it to Lu Yan:

"Okay, if you eat a bad stomach, you can't rely on me. ”

Lu Yan repeatedly assured, then took a little six or seven catties of large bones and a large intestine of pigs, and went back happily.

When Lu Yan went to the town, Qi cultivated a vegetable plot on the left side of the courtyard for about 5 minutes. Today, Gui Xiu sent some vegetable seeds, as well as a jar of sour chili peppers.

Lu Yan came back and saw the reclaimed land, and then said with annoyance:

"I didn't think of that. ”

The land was illegally barren, and Lu Yan asked her mother to pick up some fruit branches and spread them on the land to burn.

Then go to a nearby fish pond and get some silt.

After tying the big bones and hanging them on the wall, he concentrated on handling the pigs in the water.

I took some fruit wood ash, soaked it in water, and filtered the slag to make it crude alkaline water.

Rinse off the dirt outside in the canal, scrub it with alkaline water a few times, and wash it with clean water a few more times.

Next, turn the large intestine of the pig outward and a small section, and then let the water continue to pour in until the whole large intestine is completely turned over from the inside out.

The inner layer is cleaned in the same way as the outer layer, but at the end there is an additional step: scrub it with a little flour.

Put water in the pot, add the pig's large intestine, remove it after boiling, rinse off the floating objects on the surface with water, and cut it into small pieces for later use.

Slice the ginger and garlic, wash the cinnamon (yesterday I went into the mountain to cut fresh cinnamon bark, and also found some dried ones), and make them into small pieces.

Heat the pot, put a little oil, pour in a part of the pig's large intestine, burst out the oil, add ginger and garlic slices, stir-fry until fragrant, then add sour chili, cinnamon, salt, stir-fry slightly and add an appropriate amount of water.

After the water boils, turn to low heat and cover the pot and simmer for a few minutes, until the flavor is in.

I couldn't help but take a piece and taste it, well, the ginger, garlic, cinnamon, sour chili pepper removed the last trace of peculiar smell in the pig's large intestine and fully integrated it into the pig's large intestine.

For lunch, I will have a hot and sour pork intestine and a tomato and egg soup.

During the meal, Qi saw two meat dishes and was worried:

"Yan'er, it's not that my mother said you, in our current situation, we can't afford to live this kind of life. ”

Qi is worried that her daughter is still young and doesn't know the difficulties of living.

"Mother, this doesn't cost money, you taste it, tell me if it's delicious. ”

Qi was suspicious, took a bite, and was full of praise:

"It's delicious! It's very chewy, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is, what is it? There's a fragrance in it, my mother has never tasted it. ”

Then I couldn't help but clip a few more pieces, but I still couldn't guess it.

After confirming that her mother was not lying to her, Lu Yan no longer hid it:

"It's a pig's intestine! I'm afraid to tell you in advance that you won't eat it. ”

There is another point that Lu Yan didn't say, although cinnamon was very ordinary in the previous life, it doesn't mean that people in this era can accept it.

"Pig intestines, pig intestines that dogs don't eat!

Qi was shocked, no wonder her daughter said she didn't want money. When this pig goes into the water, it is thrown away directly, and no one will eat it.

"My Yan'er, she is really capable!"

Qi's eyes were full of pride. She attributed all the changes in Lu Yan to the Bodhisattva's enlightenment, which also saved Lu Yan a lot of effort to explain.

In the afternoon, after picking some wild celery by the canal, Lu Yan mashed the herbs she picked when entering the mountain, asked her mother to help put them on her back, and lay on her back for an afternoon.

When the medicine is almost dry, remove the residue and let it dry for half an hour.

The last time I applied it, most of the pus has been removed, but the back is severe, and there is a tendency to recur.

This type of abscess is caused by long-term mental stress and poor sleep, and it was very common in the previous era.

It's just that people in that era sought medical attention when they first had symptoms, and the most serious ones were ulcers but not to the point of suppuration.

Relax your mind, get enough sleep, and take anti-itch and anti-inflammatory medications, and you'll get better soon.

Lu Yan also loves beauty, but the problem of food and clothing is put in the first place, and there are too many things in this world to adapt to, so she can't take care of it.

Lu Yan is now sleeping early, her spirit is relaxed, and her face has scabbed. It's not very breathable on the back, so it's better to be slower.

In the evening, Qi cooked and made mustard porridge. That is, large slices of mustard greens and peeled mustard stalks are stewed with rice and sweet potatoes.

Not to mention, it has its own flavor.

Nothing was said all night.

Before dawn the next day, Lu Yan got up and made a fuss.

took four or five catties of bones, boiled two crockpots of soup, and while cooking the soup, the remaining pig intestines were made according to yesterday's practice, two large bowls. And pick out the cinnamon inside and throw it away.

This time the bone broth was boiled for more than an hour, and it was thicker than the soup made last time.

Qi saw that his daughter was busy coming in and out, so he put his hand on the side.

Now my daughter has an idea, and she has the Bodhisattva's guidance on what her daughter does.

The soup was packed in four large bamboo tubes, put it in the blue, and the pig's large intestine was served in two pottery bowls, each with a larger pottery bowl upside down.

The basket is covered with a layer of cloth.

When everything was ready, Lu Yan walked in the direction of the town.

When I got to town, it wasn't yet time for breakfast. Breakfast in the town was slightly later than in the village.

The living conditions of the people in the town are generally higher than those in the village, and they are all open-shopkeepers, or the locals in the town, most of whom can live a relatively prosperous life by renting out shops.

Lu Yan came to a very prosperous Li rice noodle shop at the intersection and walked in.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw a customer, he hurriedly came out to greet him.

"Is it your first time? Rice noodles or noodles, vegetarian or meat?"

The shopkeeper didn't neglect Lu Yan's age and clothes at all.

Lu Yan nodded secretly:

No wonder business is so good. After a visual inspection, there were about a dozen long tables, and there were a few benches in the corner, which should be used in case there were many guests.

Since it was not yet time to eat, there were not many guests.

"You're the shopkeeper, right?" Lu Yan said to confirm for the sake of insurance, "I have something to talk to the shopkeeper." ”

As soon as the shopkeeper heard that it was not to be ordered, he looked at the basket she was carrying, and immediately showed a detached expression:

"You want to sell something, we have a fixed supply in the store, you go to another store, I still have customers to greet here." ”

"You only have two kinds of noodles in this store, one is chili pork and the other is sauerkraut. ”

Lu Yan wasn't annoyed, she just came in like this, which was really abrupt. Decided to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor.

"Little girl, don't underestimate my two, don't talk far, in this town, my two kinds of whistle noodles are the most popular, don't believe it, you ask who is sitting. They're all old customers. ”

The guests sitting there also heard the conversation between the two, and they all nodded at Lu Yan, indicating that the shopkeeper was not exaggerating.

The owner is also proud.

"Shopkeeper, let's take a gamble. To tell you the truth, my family's ancestors also made food, but the family is in the middle of the road, but the craft of eating has been passed down from generation to generation. ”

Seeing everyone's attention being attracted, Lu Yan continued,

"I am also forced to make a living, and I want to make a living from this craft. Can I borrow your land, I'll make a bowl of rice noodles. Please judge whether it's the food in the store or my food. ”

glanced at the shopkeeper and paused,

"If it's better than the store, please give it to the guest for free, if it's as delicious as the store, the guest will pay the bill, if it's not as delicious as the store, I'll pay the bill, and pay according to the standard of seven words." ”

"Little girl, you don't have to worry about the fact that it's delicious, but we say it's not delicious. ”

One of the guests said with a smile.

"Don't be afraid, if that's the case, you won't be able to eat again. ”

Lu Yan said very firmly.

The shopkeeper's competitiveness was also aroused, and besides, he didn't want to lose face in front of a few customers, so he accepted Lu Yan's challenge.

Lu Yan went in for five minutes and came out.

In his hand he holds a tray, on which there are two bowls, a large bowl of thin noodles and a small bowl of bone broth.

And tell the guests to take a bite of noodles and then take a sip of soup.

The guest who had just opened his mouth stepped forward, took a bite of the noodles, and savored them for a long time, without speaking, and his expression seemed to be a little dignified. I took another sip of soup and didn't speak.

Lu Yan, who was full of confidence, couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

Everyone else looked at it, their ears pricked up, for fear of missing out on any comments.

Everyone didn't hear a word, but saw the other party take another mouthful of noodles and drink another mouthful of soup.

Seeing that most of the bowl of noodles is gone, everyone hasn't heard a word.

"I said, Brother Zhou, you have also eaten a lot of bites, do you taste good in the end? ”

A person next to him couldn't help it and asked.

"I almost forgot about business. ”

The guest laughed:

"Wonderful! Wonderful! I have never eaten anything when I was young, and I have never eaten anything when I traveled north and south, flying in the water in the sky, but today the whistle in this noodle is so delicious, I can't name what it is. ”

Zhou ate and drank another sip of soup,

"Especially this soup, fresh and sweet and fragrant, this way of eating noodles and soup separately is also the first time, the future is terrible, the next life is terrible!"

Everyone saw that Zhou Eat, who was very picky about eating, had such a high evaluation of a bowl of noodles, and they picked up chopsticks one after another, for fear that they would not have their own share when it was late.

At this time, the number of customers in the store gradually increased, and when they saw that there was a bustle here, they all came over.

People who have tasted a bite are not satisfied, and they have called for a copy of this, even if it is a bowl of Qiwen.

One beginning, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and soon, the whole town spread, and the final version became a new flavor of noodles launched by Li's rice noodle shop, and even the weekly food in the capital was full of praise.

Looking at the dozens of customers who ordered new flavors of noodles, the shopkeeper Li looked at Lu Yan pleadingly.

Lu Yan was invited into the inner room by the shopkeeper, and Lu Yan didn't go around in circles, and said straight to the point:

"In the future, I will provide the whistle and soup in the store, the whistle is calculated according to a bowl of fifteen yuan, this bowl can be ten to twelve bowls, the soup is a large bamboo tube according to five yuan, a bamboo tube can be under five bowls, each time it is settled, it is recommended that you set the price of noodles at seven wen a bowl, limited to 40 bowls per day, first come, first served. Guaranteed to have a thriving business. ”

"Won't Qiwen be a little more expensive? Why is it still limited, and this business is not done?"

The shopkeeper put his ideas up.

"Rare things are precious! You must know this truth better than I do. Since it is rare, it is natural that it is more expensive. ”

Lu Yan brought out a lot of experience from her previous life and solved the confusion of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper agreed to it, turned around again, looked at Lu Yan, and stopped talking.

"I'll also tell you frankly that the main ingredient of the whistle is the pig's large intestine, but the processing procedure is more complicated, plus it is an ancestral secret recipe, my price is not expensive, as for the soup, it is inconvenient to say. I promise only for you. ”

Lu Yan knows that the pig's large intestine is something that people who think about it carefully, and they will definitely be able to think of it, and they don't plan to hide it, but as for the method, they will not reveal anything.

After one party talks, both sides are happy.

Lu Yan immediately took out the remaining pig intestine and four bamboo bone broth in the basket, totaling fifty wen.

Before leaving, Lu Yan told the shopkeeper that in addition to the whistle she provided, she also needed to add a little sour radish and chili oil made from dried chili powder.

With fifty cents, Lu Yan couldn't have been happier.

It's not that I haven't thought about making money by medical skills, but in this era, there is no power and no power, and if you offend someone who shouldn't be offended, it's easier for someone else to pinch yourself to death than to pinch an ant to death.

I still remember that in my previous life, I was in a hurry to save a critically ill patient, and I postponed a VIP patient, who was the mayor's son, and turned the hospital upside down, and I was almost expelled from the hospital, but later the master saved himself.

When my mind wandered back, I was already home.

Lu Yan excitedly told her mother about making money, and her mother cried with joy.

Repeatedly counted the first pot of gold in the true sense of the word that came to this world.

The cost of removing the large bones and pig intestines is 2 yuan, and the others are added together to count 3 yuan, and the net income is 45 yuan.

In the future, 4 bowls of pig intestines and 8 tubes of bone broth will be sent every day, and the gross income will be 100 Wen, and the net income will reach 80 to 90 Wen a day.

Even if everyone knows that the main ingredient is the large intestine and the price of the pig's large intestine has risen, Lu Yan thinks that it is only for a while. There's no way to deal with it or you can't eat it.

As for the big bone broth, I don't have to worry about it. There were no bones left in the soup that was delivered.

Solving the big problem, Lu Yan and Qi were especially happy this day, and the two of them sprinkled the vegetable seeds together.

Tomorrow I have to get up early to go to the town to buy materials, and the day after tomorrow it will be officially supplied.

So Qi urged Lu Yan to go to bed early, and the mother and daughter talked again, and then fell asleep, with a smile on their faces that they didn't have time to put away.
