The life of Caiyun people is inseparable from artichoke, and there is a saying that the eldest son eats artichoke. In Caiyun dialect, "Zidi" refers to image temperament, which roughly means that eating artichoke can make you more handsome and temperamental.

Regardless of whether this is true or not, it can be seen from this sentence that Caiyun people love artichokes, whether it is roasted, fried, boiled, no matter what kind of method can be full of tricks, and the same is true for frying.

Roadside stalls, restaurants, bars, night markets and other places can see the figure of fried artichoke, and its method is also very simple, fried in sesame oil, add ingredients and stir evenly.

Bars, KTVs and other places, in addition to mixing, you can also directly dip the prepared chili noodles to eat, which are also the two most common ways to eat fried potatoes, and the roadside stalls generally choose the former.

The ingredients for mixing fried artichoke are mainly to add the sauce of folded ear root seasoning (that is, Houttuynia cordata), with chili noodles and finally sprinkle some coriander even if it is alive, the materials are not complete and can be reduced, but the taste is worse.

After making it, Zhang Yao tasted a little, he was not satisfied, after all, it was the first time to make it, and the taste was much worse than the one he bought, and he offered it to the altar with a little apprehension, and unexpectedly got the approval of the god of food.

Perhaps it is also a pleasure for a foodie to personally witness the transformation of a chef from rusty to skillful with his mouth, and the god of food does not care how bad the craftsmanship of the worshipper is, the criterion for judging is the food itself.

After the god of food accepted the tribute, just as he suddenly knew the origin and function of the dragon ball before, Zhang Yao immediately mastered the best method of frying artichokes, how to mix sauce and chili noodles, and how to control the heat when frying.

Even after years of exploration, all the details are very skillful, Zhang Yao is already sure that he can make the fried artichoke into a must, and the rest is to operate it himself.

Zhang Yao's own home, the large pot of the firewood stove is generally used to cook and steam rice, and there is an induction cooker and biogas for stir-frying, so it will not be so convenient to set up a roadside stall, and it must be equipped with a set of liquefied gas stoves.

"Are you really going to sell fried potatoes?" Li Yue was very surprised when he heard this, firstly, he didn't expect him to be so decisive, secondly, he didn't expect him to be able to put down his body, few young people could pull down their faces to set up roadside stalls, they would rather go to other jobs, it doesn't matter if they are tired and hard.

"Mom, don't underestimate selling fried potatoes, it's actually very profitable." Zhang Yao tried to persuade Li Yue, Li Yue frowned and said: "The family doesn't need you to make money now, even if you don't study, the first choice should be to learn a craft, can you sell fried potatoes for a lifetime?" ”

If you learn a craft, you will not starve to death in this life, and the older generation of people have this concept, which is indeed true, but Zhang Yao doesn't like it, and the craft is not so easy to learn.

Besides, now that there is a dragon ball and a god of food to worship, at that moment, Zhang Yao has already completed the plan for the future, selling fried potatoes is just a helpless choice at the beginning, of course, it is impossible to sell it for a lifetime.

"Ah Yao is only twenty years old now, so it's better to exercise first." Li Yue wanted to say something, but Zhang Guojian nodded first in agreement, and said: "I'll buy the liquefied stove for you later, the tricycle is at home, you can go and see if you can ride it, if it breaks, take it to the city to repair it." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Yao immediately went to check the tricycle.

As soon as he left, Li Yue looked at him with reproachful eyes, and Zhang Guojian said: "My son is still holding a breath now, you just let him toss it first, and then talk about it later." ”

Li Yue sighed, still couldn't let go of Zhang Yao's expulsion, and Zhang Yao had already pushed the tricycle to the door and checked it up and down.

This tricycle is the family's former means of transportation, and in the first two years, my parents increased their savings and replaced them with more convenient tricycles, and then they were idle, and now they have been idle for almost five or six years.

Dilapidated is a little worn, but it's not broken, it's just that the tires are completely deflated after a long time, just full of gas, and the chain also needs to be oiled, and the biggest problem is just the lack of a pedal.

Anyone who has ever ridden a bicycle knows that the lack of pedals actually has little impact, but Zhang Guojian went to the city and bought a new one by the way.

Li Yue was helpless and distressed when Zhang Yao wanted to go out to sell fried potatoes, but when he came back from the field, he still helped to wash and cut the folded ear root and coriander, and almost did all the preparations.

The next day, Zhang Yao went out of the stall for the first time in his life, and set off early to take an hour's tricycle to the city in front of the rising sun, and chose the entrance of Nancheng Pedestrian Street as the location to officially start business.

No matter what it sells, a place with a large flow of people is always the best choice, and the first choice for roadside snacks is actually the school gate, and there will never be any one to patronize, but it is only two time periods after school and school, and the school is still far away, Zhang Yao thought about it or gave up.

The location of the pedestrian street is also very good, and there are also roasted sweet potatoes and boiled corn around, which is also very lively. Try to choose a place that does not obstruct traffic or pedestrians, Zhang Yao set up the tricycle and began to prepare.

The neat seasonings and other tools are arranged, although they are simple but not casual, they are all clean and orderly, and they make people feel very comfortable when they are orderly, which is what Li Yue taught by example, just like his home.

Rural families still live in tiled houses, and neither the furniture nor the decoration can be compared with other people's villas and western-style buildings, but Li Yue can always keep it in order no matter how busy he is, and he is simple but never dirty, which has also influenced Zhang Yao since he was a child.

Place them one by one, then light the fire to boil the oil, and at the same time peel the artichoke, cut it into wavy strips with a special gadget and soak it in clean water for later use.

"Boss, how do you sell this artichoke?" Zhang Yao was still peeling, there were already customers coming, looking at the uniform on her body should be the shopping guide in the clothing store in front, girls are always so contradictory, gluttonous snacks and snacks do not leave their mouths, but they are always worried that they will gain weight.

Zhang Yao raised his head and smiled, pointed to the carton in front of him and said, "Three small boxes, five big boxes, beauty, how much do you want?" ”

"The boss is very handsome, is such a little fresh meat really here to sell fried potatoes? This is simply the prince of fried potatoes" Seeing Zhang Yao's face clearly, the girl seemed to be a little surprised, and then teased.

"As you can see." Zhang Yao smiled again, and then said, "Beauty, don't just care about molesting me, how much does it cost?" ”

"For three pieces, put more chili peppers, more coriander, more sauce, and more artichokes."

"That's five pieces." Zhang Yao couldn't help but roll his eyes.

The girl laughed and said, "Why, I only want three pieces." Artichoke prince, don't be so stingy. ”

Sure enough, he is worthy of being a shopping guide, Zhang Yao laughed again, the feeling of setting up a roadside stall on the first day is really good.
