Chapter 34: The Shop and the Ice Cream
It has probably been a long time since he has been so wealthy, carrying more than two hundred taels of money to go shopping, Qin Baozhen looked quite nervous, looking around from time to time, always feeling that everyone around him looked like a thief. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Qin Lu, who looked nervous, couldn't help but smile, "I said Baozhen, you are completely here without two hundred taels of silver, it was nothing, now I should suspect that you are hiding a treasure!" ”
"Huh?"
Qin Baozhen's little face couldn't help wrinkling, and she pouted and said, "Then what should I do, there are so many people on the road, if it is stolen, people will cry to death!" ”
"There's Qingqing here, don't worry!"
Qin Lu didn't care much about it, the little snake charm's perception was much more sensitive than ordinary people, and the silver was still quite safe on her back. Moreover, the people in Jianye City are simple, at least in the memory of scholars, there are few things like theft here.
"Besides, it's time to spend it in a while, at most it's warm for a while, don't be so nervous!"
It was originally to comfort Qin Baozhen's words, but as soon as he said it, even the little snake charm began to become depressed.
"Woo~ Do you really want to use flowers to go out? How nice it would be to stay at home if it was shiny! ”
"Are you sure? It's okay not to spend it, but your buns ......"
"Then let's spend it!"
Without waiting for Qin Lu to finish speaking, Qingqing decisively changed her attitude, "Think about it carefully, silver is really the best thing when it is used to buy things!" ”
This dead girl is not actually a snake, but a pig......
Qin Lu had a black line in his head, he suddenly had an ominous premonition, and he didn't know whether his next plan would work or not, there was a companion with an appetite greater than his IQ in his head, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that his future was worrying......
……
With Qin Baozhen and the two, Qin Lu came all the way to Xicheng District, in the memory of scholars, there is the only stage in Jianye City, as the entire city entertainment area, the crowd density of Xicheng can almost be compared with the market area in Nancheng, Qin Lu's ideal location to open a store is here.
The price was negotiated very smoothly, Qin Lu inquired about Uncle Torin a few days ago, there is a grain store transfer near the river, about 40 square meters of store area, and a small courtyard and two warehouses are also included, which is very suitable.
Jianye City is not a particularly prosperous place, and the house price and rent have not been outrageous, only one hundred taels, Qin Lu obtained the right to use the store for two years, even now, this is a fairly fair price, Qin Lu is quite satisfied with it.
"And now? What should we do? ”
Standing in his own shop, Qin Baozhen's face had excitement that could not be concealed, and he kept asking: "Are we going to open a cloth shop?" Or continue to sell fried rice? ”
"Don't worry, it's still early to leave the store!"
Qin Lu smiled mysteriously and took out the pen and paper that had been prepared a long time ago.
"Now, I need you to ghostwrite and help me copy some leaflets!"
"Huh?"
Qin Baozhen was stunned for a moment, "Xuan, what kind of order?" ”
"You'll know for yourself by looking at it......"
Qin Lu didn't explain much, just handed a written leaflet to Qin Baozhen and motioned her to read the content carefully.
"The opening ceremony, the whole audience is 7% off...... Buy 3 get 1 free......"
"Ice ...... Ice cream?! ”
There weren't a lot of things on the leaflet, and Qin Baozhen read it quickly, but what was written made her puzzled.
Ice cream?
What's that? New fried rice?
"When you're done copying the leaflet, I'll show it to you!" Qin Lu smiled and raised the things in his hand, "Let's start working now, I'll go and prepare, see you later!" ”
The small courtyard behind the store has its own kitchen, and when Qin Lu came down, he also bought some new kitchenware by the way. After a brief explanation with the two of them, he returned to the kitchen alone and began his work.
Qin Lu is a game nerd, and at the same time, a technology nerd. But his technology does not lie in those magical black technologies, but in the research of various cuisines.
Jianye City is close to the East Bay, and the temperature has hardly dropped below 20 degrees throughout the year, combined with the expertise of the previous life, Qin Lu is ready to open a unique dessert shop in Jianye City!
And ice cream is the main dish of this shop!
It is not difficult to make ice cream, the difficulty lies in the materials used to make it, especially the fresh cream, which is a problem that Qin Lu must solve.
The geography of the East Bay is not suitable for grazing, and it really took Qin Lu a lot of effort to buy fresh milk to make cream. In the end, it was Uncle Lin who asked someone to find a ranch in the wild in the south of the Yangtze River, which solved this big problem.
Putting the prepared saltpeter and ice cubes on the table, Qin Lu picked up four eggs, removed the yellow, cleared them, put them in the basin and kept beating them with chopsticks until many fine foams were produced, then added salt, vinegar, and sugar to them in turn, and then continued to whip.
In fact, in the previous life, such work should have been replaced by a whisk, but now, with no tools available, Qin Lu could only grieve his hands and try over and over again.
The left hand was replaced with the right hand, and the right hand was changed to the left hand when it was sore, and I don't know how long it took, until Qin Lu began to yawn, and the things in the basin finally became satisfactory to the point that he was satisfied, and it was semi-viscous.
"It's finally done! In the future, you must hire someone for this job, it's so fucking tiring! ”
Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Qin Lu carefully poured the prepared cream into the bowl. This is the most basic step in the whole ice cream making process, and once it has been solved, he can start the next work.
Take out the egg yolk left at the beginning, add sugar, beat it well, pour in the milk, and then stir it over low heat while heating it until it becomes thick, Qin Lu took it out and put it aside for later use.
Then there was a long wait, and after all those things had cooled, Qin Lu carefully mixed them together, and then continued to stir them with chopsticks. Soon, the prototype of a creamy ice cream was almost complete.
The last step is the easiest, but at the same time the most important. In the next few hours, Qin Lu had to use the saltpeter ice method to cool the cream in the basin, otherwise, all the work would be in vain.
"Making ice cream without a refrigerator is a great talent!"
With extreme admiration for himself, Qin Lu carefully put the prepared materials into the clay pot, and then soaked them in a large vat filled with saltpeter and water along with the entire container.
Saltpeter decomposes in water, absorbs the surrounding heat, and then acts as a freezer. The crockpot is an insulator, and if all goes well, it won't be long before the contents of the crockpot will freeze.
Of course, this is an ideal situation, in fact, Qin Lu has no bottom as to whether he can make ice cream as delicious as in his previous life......
