63. Food trucks

The next day, Ning Xi asked Mei Niang to ask her to see if she was resting, and she would come over after resting.

Mei Niang naturally came over immediately: "Ning Dongjia, what do you want me to do?" I'll do it right away. She was very interesting, Ning Xi hadn't even said that she wanted her to work in the restaurant, so she followed others and called Ning Dong's house.

Ning Xi smiled: "Don't worry, let me ask you, do you know how to cook?" ”

Mei Niang was a little hesitant, which woman in the countryside couldn't cook, but the big pot of food wrapped in the countryside was not the same thing as the exquisite stir-fry on the table in the restaurant, she didn't know if her ability to cook the food was considered to be able to cook.

Ning Xi thought about it and understood: "That's it, I said you do it, see if you can do it." ”

Mei Niang naturally agreed.

Ning Xi explained to her in detail the method and precautions for making zuò fried chicken nuggets, and then asked her to stay in the kitchen: "You try to make it yourself, and come to me when it's ready." At the same time, she told her that anything in the kitchen could be taken at will, and she let her solve the raw materials and ingredients that should be used by herself, only the marinade to be used when marinating the chicken was prepared by Ning Xi in advance, and she had not told anyone about the ratio of the seasoning.

Ning Xi went out after explaining, and the master carpenter she asked her to find had already come over and was waiting in the front hall.

Ning Xi took out a drawing: "Master, I want to make such a car, you can help me see if I can make it." What she wants to do is a kind of fast food truck, push it anywhere you want, you don't have to move things down, light the stove below, set up an oil pan on it, use it to fry the chicken nuggets, sell them as you fry them, and put a big bucket next to it, which is chilled bamboo cane water, fried chicken nuggets are easy to get hot if you eat too much, and you must drink some cool drinks to press it.

In fact, the ancient craftsmen were really very ingenious, maybe limited by their knowledge, they couldn't think of many things, but as long as someone mentioned it, they could immediately realize it, and make something more perfect than you wanted.

The master carpenter took Ning Xi's drawings back and told her that within two days, she would definitely be able to make this fast food truck.

After explaining the matter of the food truck, Ning Xi returned to the kitchen to see how Mei Niang was doing, and saw that she was still thinking hard, so she walked over: "What, is there any problem?" ”

Mei Niang took out the fried chicken nuggets she had just made with a sad face and showed it to Ning Xi: "Look, this fried chicken nuggets is not at all like the crispy skin you just said, but uneven thickness and hard, how can this be?" ”

Ning Xi looked at it: "This is not wrapped well when it is wrapped, come, I'll show you." "Pick up the chicken pieces that have been marinated and bury them in the prepared breading," before wrapping the chicken pieces to ensure that the surface of the chicken pieces is fully moist, but it must be drained, otherwise the breading will be uneven, in addition, the flour should be used more when wrapping, and the two ends of the chicken pieces should be pinched with ten fingers and rolled and kneaded more than five times in the same direction. ”

The guys in Shuangxi Lou all know that Ningxi never taboos people to watch when he teaches people to cook, so at this time, people who have time in their hands gathered and gathered in a group to listen to Ning Xi's personal explanation, they usually eat this kind of fried chicken nuggets, and they also know how to do it, but Ning Dongjia personally demonstrated, this kind of opportunity is still not much.

Ning Xi then put the powdered chicken pieces into a pot of juice mixed with fried sauce powder and water and rolled it for a while, then took it out and put it into the dry flour, gently pressed it a few times with his hand, and finally took it out, pinched the corner of the chicken nuggets, and shook it vigorously a few times: "Remember, if you shake it like this at the end, there will be beautiful fish scale patterns on the surface after frying." Mei Niang hurriedly remembered that this kind of detail, if others don't say it, she can't think of it even if she wants to break her head.

"After wrapping the powder, it should be fried immediately, otherwise it will also affect the generation of scales, and finally fried until the color becomes a faint golden yellow can be scooped up, don't be greedy, if the color has become dark golden when you scoop it up, then take it out and put it for a while, it will be too much." After Ning Xi finished speaking, she fished out her fried chicken nuggets and showed them to everyone, only to see that its color was golden, and the surface was covered with scales like fried fish scales, which was extremely crispy and delicious at first glance, and the fragrance was even more intense.

Someone asked: "Ning Dongjia, how do you make this marinade?" I'll go back and make it for my kid, and it can be fried well outside, but this aroma can't compare to what you concocted! ”

Ning Xi smiled mysteriously: "I can't tell you about this, you can come to me next time and get a little marinade I have mixed back to use, but this recipe is unspeakable." "This recipe is specially researched by Ningxi in his previous life, and the fragrance can even be more attractive than the two chain fast food restaurants all over the streets and alleys, and people who have eaten Ningxi's fried chicken say that her fried chicken is the first time she eats it and wants to eat it for the second time, and if she doesn't eat it for a long time, she will even dream of drooling.

This recipe, which she still has and is ready to use, is now just a small attempt.

Just when Mei Niang was practicing fried chicken skills, Ning Xiding's fast food truck was also sent over, and she was very satisfied, there are four wheels under the bottom to support it steadily, and there are pushers on both sides of the car that can be retracted, no matter where you yearn to go, you can easily pull out the pusher to push the car, and the place where the stove is put is specially wrapped with iron sheets, so as not to accidentally burn the wooden board, and there are heat insulation devices in the oil pan and the place where the drink is placed, which will not affect the icing effect of the cold drink.

In this era, there are no plastic bags, disposable cups and bowls or something, the packaging materials for selling snacks on the street are generally the leaves of various plants, what bamboo leaves, palm leaves, lotus leaves, etc., Ning Xi has been curious to see, and also learned a way to roll up broad bamboo leaves as a cup, although the bottom of this bamboo leaf cup is pointed, it is not easy to place, but it is used to hold drinks and drink, it is still very convenient.

Ning Xi asked the master carpenter to make a cylinder on the car, which was specially used to put this kind of finished bamboo leaf cup, with a sharp corner exposed at the bottom, and one could be taken out with a draw; In addition, the fried chicken nuggets are wrapped in lotus leaves, a fried chicken nuggets and a cup of grass bamboo cane water, the price is ten yuan, simple and convenient, even if only one person can be busy.

Ning Xi asked people to put all the tools and raw materials on the car, and asked Mei Niang to come over and try to see if she could pull it, fortunately, the wheels were very light, and a woman could easily pull many things, and when she wanted to stop, as long as she put the bracket down to support it, she could firmly stop on the ground and not shake.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Ning Xi and Mei Niang pushed the fast food truck with the words "Shuangxi Fried Chicken" on the top to the door of Bailu Academy, stabbed the stove, and heated up the oil pot.

The chicken nuggets have been marinated in advance, Mei Niang has practiced for two days, her hands and feet have been very skilled, and she will be quickly floured at the moment, and the chicken nuggets will be fried in the oil pan, and the rich aroma will soon spread, attracting passers-by one after another.

Someone couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing and how do you sell it?" ”

Mei Niang taught according to Ningxi: "Fried chicken nuggets, ten cents a piece, buy one and get a cup of Maogen bamboo cane water." As he spoke, he wrapped a fried chicken nugget in lotus leaves.

The man saw that the portion was not small, a person with an average amount of food could basically have a full stomach if he ate such a serving, even if he cooked at home, a person was not much less than ten yuan, so he simply tasted it fresh, so he took out his purse and counted out ten copper plates: "Give me one." ”

Mei Niang took the copper plate with a smile and handed him a fried chicken nugget: "This should be eaten hot to be crispy enough, and it will not be so delicious when it is cold." Then he took out a pre-rolled bamboo leaf cup, scooped a spoonful of bamboo cane water, and filled it into the bamboo leaf cup just a cup, "After eating and drinking, it will quench your thirst and reduce your fire." ”

The man took the fried chicken nugget and took a bite, only to hear the "rattling" sound, the flour fried into fish scales spread out in the mouth, and the thick aroma filled the entire mouth, and then bit deeper, it was soft and fragrant chicken, the man only ate a bite and couldn't help nodding: "Fragrant, too fragrant, this ten cents can be spent worth it!" ”

attracted the eagerness of the next to him, and two more people paid for one each, and they were full of praise after eating.

Seeing this, the rest of the people also donated generously, "I want a share." "I want one too."

Mei Niang was a little anxious, she just gave it a try, there were not many fried chicken nuggets, and the three copies were almost sold out, and so many people said they wanted to buy it all of a sudden, she panicked all of a sudden, and she didn't know what to do in a hurry.

Ning Xi said to Mei Niang: "Don't worry, take it step by step, the steps that should be done must not be messy, I would rather sell less, and I can't blow up the chicken nuggets." Then he said to the crowd: "Don't worry, everyone, this chicken nugget is just freshly fried to be delicious, everyone come one by one, don't be busy handing over the money first, and I will collect a copy of the money later, so as not to mess up." ”

The crowd quieted down, Mei Niang also settled down, and fried the chicken nuggets wholeheartedly, the more the chicken nuggets were fried, the stronger the fragrance, and when it reached the academy, the students who had long been hungry were restless, and quietly exchanged their heads while the teacher was not prepared: "What kind of taste is this?" ”

"I don't know, it's so fragrant! Could it be that the canteen has hired a new cook? ”

Mr. sniffed, he couldn't sit still: "That's all for today's class, let's get out of class." ”

Someone immediately rushed out and identified the direction of the wind, no, didn't this smell come from the cafeteria, it seemed to be at the gate?

More and more students flocked in the direction where the aroma came from.
