7. Start a business
In the afternoon, a large family went to Tongcheng Park to play for a long time, after all, it was Children's Day, and it was really unreasonable not to take the children to the park to play. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In fact, Zhang Han really wanted to say that he really didn't care, he would rather spend some time reading more books than play those games that were not fun at all in the park under the sun like a big fireball. However, seeing Xiao Tiantian's excited and expectant gaze, he glanced back at the words that had already reached his lips.
Forget it, it's a price to be born again.
So, under the leadership of grandparents, Zhang Han's family, the second uncle's family and the aunt, a total of ten people, played "happily" in the park for a whole afternoon, and drank I don't know how many bottles of water.
When he got home, he didn't even bother to drink saliva, so Zhang Jianjun ran out in a hurry. What he was going to do, Zhang Han could figure it out with his big toes, it was nothing more than going out to find the stove needed to set up the noodle stall.
This kind of stove used for early stalls is very simple, a large scrapped iron bucket, smeared with thick yellow mud, with a rack to isolate charcoal and ash inside, and a simple stove is made with a vent underneath. However, even with such a simple stove, it is not easy to get one, mainly because the tin bucket is not easy to use.
However, this is not difficult for Zhang Han, or rather, as long as people in this era are willing to find a way, it is not too difficult to get these things. Near the community where his family lives, there is a garbage recycling station of some scale, where there are a lot of waste tin buckets, and even a good tin bucket stove, which is also a major income generator of the garbage recycling station.
A good stove is only more than 30 yuan to buy, buy it and burn it for two days, burn the dirty things inside and sinter the yellow mud on the inner wall firmly, and the stove can be officially used.
In the past few days of burning the stove, Luan Meiqin also bought various materials, a total of five bags of white noodles in a bag of 50 catties, 30 catties of pork filling, and a large basket of eggs, etc., and began to try to make shaved noodles at home.
When it comes to the marinade used to cut noodles, that is, the meat dumplings that Tongcheng locals say, Luan Meiqin's craftsmanship is quite good. But when it comes to shaving noodles, she's a little worse. The knife cutting surface is all cut by the knife, hence the name. The dough leaf is cut with a knife, medium thick and thin edges. Sharp edges, resembling willow leaves; The entrance is smooth and the inside is soft but not sticky, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it is, and it is popular with pasta lovers.
Therefore, it is not difficult to cut noodles with a knife, and it can be done by one person, but if you want to do it well, it will take more effort.
Of course, you can also use a special dough paring knife, which is a curved iron sheet, but the dough cut by the dough knife is obviously not as good as the surface cut directly with a knife. Therefore, if you want to do long-term trading, it is better to use a knife directly.
But if you go directly to the knife, it will be more of a test of physical strength. Just imagine, a ball of dough weighing more than ten pounds, supported on the shoulders with a wooden board that is only a little larger than the dough, this is the only one, and no one can stand it for a long time. Not to mention the most homely kitchen knife used to cut noodles, a knife weighs two or three pounds, and it takes some effort just to hold the knife, and the noodles are still very hard...... Therefore, knife-cut noodles are a seemingly simple delicacy, but in fact it is very difficult.
Don't say that Luan Meiqin is a woman, she is a big man, if she doesn't engage in this kind of work for a long time, she will inevitably feel sore arms when she first gets started.
But fortunately, there is a way to solve this problem.
"Let my uncle shave the noodles!"
Zhang Han suggested.
His uncle, who is Luan Meiqin's younger brother, is a rather burly and powerful man. Zhang Han still remembers very well that before he was reborn, he had broken his wrist with his uncle in his thirties, and his uncle was in his fifties and almost sixty years old at the time.
And my uncle used to work as a dough peeler, so it seems that he came in the canteen of a factory? Zhang Han couldn't remember. However, he can be sure that his uncle is up to the job, and more importantly, find something to do for his uncle, and save him a day of messing around on the street and worrying about his grandfather.
After hearing his suggestion, her mother Luan Meiqin's first reaction was hesitation, but then she nodded, which was considered to be agreed with Zhang Han's suggestion.
Then the next day, my uncle was honorably on the job, and cut a pot of noodles on the spot, that speed, that smooth, I can't say anything. The shaved noodles are also very beautiful, with almost the same length and width, which shows that the standard is very high, and it is indeed very suitable for this job.
When the preparations were almost done, the family began to discuss where to set up the stall.
Nowadays, there are not many people setting up stalls, so you can choose any place.
The family discussed for a night and finally decided that the location of the stall was next to the street below.
It's easy to clean up close to home, and this is a residential area, there are many people commuting to and from work every day, and after a tiring day, eating a bowl of hot knife-cut noodles is definitely a pleasure. Or before going to work in the morning, come out to eat a bowl of noodles, which is delicious and affordable, and a large bowl of noodles is still full, Zhang Han really can't think of any reason for the surrounding residents to refuse.
As for not being willing to spend money...... Please, a big bowl of noodles is only three yuan, and you give away an egg for nothing, where can you find such a good thing?
The eggs are marinated a day in advance, and the broth that flows out of the meat sauce is used. Some improvements have also been made to make it more suitable for the taste of the general public, and at the same time, it is more economical. Without affecting the taste, try to use as little pork stuffing as possible, after all, it is not your own family to eat, and if you use a lot of pork filling, even if you don't lose money, you will definitely not make money.
The noodles have also been changed several times, and my uncle is worthy of being a noodle shaving master, and the noodles are also quite level, and it only took three times to find the best ratio of noodles.
In this way, the noodles are ready, and the master of shaving the noodles is in place. The meat is ready, the eggs are ready, the stove and tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans are all ready, and now it can be said that everything is ready only to the east wind!
So, on Thursday, June 5, the fourth day after Children's Day, Zhang Han's noodle stall officially opened!
Early in the morning, before half past five, the family was busy. The father and the face, the mother boiled the son.
My uncle came at six o'clock, and as soon as he came, he began to move things down. Tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans, I don't think it's too much trouble to say, but in fact, there are too many things to prepare.
The family was very busy, and even Zhang Han joined in. Finally, at half-past six, the fire was lit, the pot of cold water was put on the seat, and my mother and uncle put on their specially bought white coats, and began to wait for the first guest to come to the door.
At this time, the streets began to be lively, and some old people began to come out for morning exercises, carrying bird cages, holding swords, and hanging this red tassel behind the hilt of the sword, which was very majestic. There are also people who come out to buy groceries, and the dishes in the morning market are generally fresh, although the prices are slightly higher, but as I said before, people have begun to pay a little attention to the standard of living these days, and everyone is willing to buy something better if they can afford it.
Of course, the streets are not full of old people, in fact, the elderly are only a small part, and more are working workers and school students.
Everyone looked at such a breakfast stall that suddenly appeared on the street with puzzled and curious eyes, but no one came to ask, everyone just looked at it and left, and did not sit down to eat noodles at all.
The mother's face became anxious, and the uncle rubbed his hands together, looking impatient.
Zhang Han stood on the side, looking at the passers-by, also full of doubts.
It stands to reason that it shouldn't, there is no noodle restaurant in this whole street, and Tongcheng people are famous for their love of noodles, why do you see the snow-white dough and smell the aromatic smell of meat, but no one stays, but they all go to eat fried dough and tofu brain?
Fritters and tofu brain are indeed a very good early match, Zhang Han and his family often eat them, two yuan per person is enough, but even so, it is not like no one who eats noodles.
He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the fritter stall in the distance, which was already overcrowded, and compared to the desertion here, it was a completely different world.
But when he saw the stall owner and his wife, he suddenly realized, and then there was a burst of crying and laughing.
He finally understood why no one came to his stall to eat noodles.
In the end, it's still this white coat that makes trouble. His original intention is good, he hopes that his family will be early, giving people a clean and hygienic feeling, of course, hygiene can definitely be guaranteed, his family is honest, it is impossible to do things that are cheating and slippery, but directly put on a white coat, giving people a visual impact, the effect will be better. But he forgot that although the people of Tongcheng have begun to pay attention to living conditions in these years, it is obviously far from enough.
At least at this time, people will not pursue food hygiene, so the mother and uncle wearing a white coat, standing here gives people a feeling of being tall, everyone knows that this is selling noodles, but when they saw this situation, they were frightened, and they thought how expensive the noodles were, so they didn't dare to come and ask casually. Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if you didn't buy it if it was too expensive after asking?
My mother and uncle also set up a stall for the first time, so they were embarrassed to shout, so they could only stand there stupidly and take the initiative to wait for someone to come to the door.
As a result, the more people passing by, the more afraid the people behind them are to come forward to ask, so that the fritter stall not far away is booming, and it is as cold and deserted as an ice cellar.
After figuring out the reason why passers-by didn't come to eat noodles, Zhang Han's eyes rolled and he thought of a solution. He ran to the nearby commissary and asked for a piece of cardboard removed from the cardboard box, and used a borrowed pen to draw a few large characters.
Then he ran back and put the cardboard in front of his noodle stall.
It is clearly written - "Lao Zhang knife cut noodles, eat noodles and send eggs, three large bowls, two small bowls, eggs are limited, first come, first served!" ”
With this cardboard, the price of the noodles was clear, especially the eggs were given away for free, and finally, after another three minutes, the first customer came to the door.
