37. Selling braised peanuts

The old man was still dividing the pork, and the wild boar on the board was piled up like a small hill, and Luo Zhi and Ah Shu carried the basket to the back room, and then moved the board in and then put the meat on the stall.

She salted four large pig's trotters with salt and hung them on the beams of the roof of the house, and the rest of the meat was not too late to be placed tomorrow.

"Hehe, this meat is enough to entertain the craftsmen when building a house, look at this fat, it's really good!" The old man peeled out about 30 catties of plate oil, each lump is rich in fat, the fat is delicate, and at a glance it can be fried to produce lard with good color.

The three of them were tired enough, especially the old man, who dissected a big fat pig of nearly 200 catties with the strength of one person, and his hands were so sore that he couldn't lift it.

By the time they figured out how to clean up the ground, it was almost early in the morning, and Luozhi fell into bed without curling his hair after taking a shower, almost falling asleep in seconds, and didn't have a dream all night.

The powerful biological clock made Luozhi get up when the morning sun was slightly dewed, and everyone was still sleeping. After washing lightly, she went to the stove room to make a fire and began to make breakfast.

She took a large strip of pork belly, and took out three or four catties of white noodles, she first made a big meat bun to give to Butcher Zhang, and then made a big meat bun dough, she made more than a dozen dough cakes, this dough cake will be baked into a cake for a while, and eat it with meat, that's right, Luozhi plans to make meat sandwich buns for the family in the morning, and everyone worked too hard yesterday.

It's too late to make pork in the morning, so she thinks about making pork belly directly into braised pork, which doesn't take much time, and it's still soft and glutinous, and it's also very suitable to chop it and add it to the middle of the cake.

The most authentic braised pork, without any extra methods and seasonings, just put water, soy sauce, cooking wine and sugar, at most add some green onion and ginger and a few star anise and one or two grass fruits, and then just boil slowly.

When Luozhi was busy, the three masters also got up before and after. Luozhi directly boiled a pot of thick batter with white flour, so that it was eaten with meat sandwich buns, which warmed both the stomach and the body on a slightly cold autumn morning.

The braised pork made from Luozhi is wrapped in a rich sauce in every piece. The skin and fat are the absolute protagonists, soft, rotten, slippery, and melt away with just a sip in your mouth. The lean part is also thin but not firewood, and there is no stuffing at all. Sandwich it in a steamed bun and taste it, fat but not greasy, crispy but not broken, sweet but not sticky, thick but not salty.

Luo'an people have a small mouth, eat a bite of meat buns and open their mouths to bite until their cheeks hurt, Luozhi directly broke the cake for him in two petals, tore the fragrant and delicious wild boar meat and added shredded green onions and green peppers, and piled it up for him, and the little guy ate beautifully and deliciously.

Ah Shu ate and drank silently one bite at a time, the amount of food he ate was directly proportional to his strength, Luo Zhi sandwiched three cakes for him in a row, and he slowed down his speed, not eating so violently.

Needless to say, the old man is happy when the children eat well, Ah Shu is now just like his own grandson, no matter how much he eats, he doesn't dislike the old man, how can he grow his strength if he doesn't eat?

Luozhi was afraid that it would not be enough, so he made a few more large meat buns for breakfast. But a dozen meat buns with enough flatbread fed them, and the big meat bun was kept for lunch.

The three of Luozhi changed into the new clothes they wore yesterday, and Ah Shu carried one on his back and a basket in his hand, which was very relaxed.

Luozhi explained that Grandpa was resting at home today, and the wild boar meat would wait for her to come back and make trouble, and the old man nodded and agreed. I worked hard all night last night, and my physical strength has not recovered now, so I can't do it anymore.

Mu Ying wore one of the new clothes that Luozhi gave her, a red high-waisted skirt and a month-old white gown, taking advantage of her like a delicate hibiscus flower, she had a very delicate little beauty taste. Aunt Mu Si watched my daughter's first growth and rejoiced in her heart.

Aunt Mu Si is very kind to Luozhi, and the villagers will not be very wealthy in these years, so they are willing to tear a few feet of cloth to make a new set of clothes during the New Year's holidays.

Mu Ying was embarrassed by everyone and blushed, pulled Luozhi to sit in front of the ox cart, Luo'an and Ah Shu sat in a row, Mu Si Aunt sat opposite, and there were two back baskets with braised peanuts and Luo Zhi in the middle.

"Luozhi, I tasted it when I framed it this morning, and this braised peanut tastes even more delicious than the one that night," Aunt Mu Si took the wheel and talked to Luozhi.

Last time, Luozhi's peanuts were boiled at most, that is, they came out in a hurry, but this time in order to open up sales, she deliberately soaked them first, marinated them for the sake of flavor, and soaked them for the sake of flavor.

"Auntie, let's come out early, don't be in a hurry to sell for a while, pick a good place first, there will be a big gathering today, there must be a lot of people, pick a popular place to sell, and the business will be good," Luo Zhi said crisply.

"That's right," Fourth Uncle Mu said, raising his whip again. The ox cart went on the flat official road, the speed of the car was obviously faster, the scenery along the way was backwards, and the tall and quaint city wall of Ji'an Town was already in sight.

When I entered the Ji'an Town Market, there were already some people who had arrived early to sell things and set up their stalls. Most of the food stalls were placed on the east side of the West Market, and the big guys followed Aunt Mu and Luozhi. After turning around, Luo Zhi looked left and right, and then stood next to a shop selling candy and snacks, and asked Ah Shu to put down the basket containing peanuts.

There were more and more people rushing to the market, and people often passed in front of them, but no one stopped to ask. Luo Zhi's eyes rolled and she understood, these people looked at their own peanuts no different from other peanuts, and she had to highlight the difference between braised peanuts.

"We can't be so stupid to stand and wait for the rabbit, we have to open our voices and shout, and take the initiative to seek guests." Luozhi Road.

Aunt Mu and Mu Ying's mother and daughter glanced at each other, they had never done business before, and they were a little embarrassed to open their mouths to shout this time.

Luo'an and Ah Shu don't care, Luozhi said that Shenma is what it is.

"Selling fragrant braised peanuts, delicious braised peanuts, dry and refreshing, ten cents and a half catty, twenty cents a catty, Tong Suo is not bullied." Luo Zhi took the lead and shouted first. Hey, the first time she came to this episode to sell leek boxes, she yelled like this, and now she is even more unburdened.

Mu Ying felt that Luozhi's shouting was interesting, and she felt a little embarrassed, so she opened her mouth, but there was no sound in her mouth.

Luo'an was the youngest, but he was the fastest learner, and he began to shout with Luozhi. Aunt Mu looked at the children and was not afraid, she was the only adult, and she was not afraid of being ashamed, she coughed twice and cleared her throat, and also opened her throat and shouted.

"Why don't you shout." Luo An thought this was very novel, so she asked Mu Ying.

"I—I'm kind of unable to open my mouth." Mu Ying was embarrassed.

"Yes, you don't need to shout. You'll just have to collect the money in a moment. Luo Zhi said, the ancient girl's family was shy and couldn't open her mouth, and Luo Zhi decided not to embarrass her.

"How much is a pound of these peanuts, what does it taste like?" A young woman came over and asked.

She was also followed by a young man, and Luo Zhi saw that the two should be a couple.

Luo Zhi saw that this ancient young woman was wearing a silk and satin dress, with a golden hairpin on her head, and a pair of agate earrings on her ears, which looked like a rich man.

"This lady, we are braised peanuts, which are better than fried peanuts, and they are only twenty yuan a catty, and it is excellent to buy them home to make snacks for themselves and drink for their husbands" Luo Zhi said with a smile on his face, "Luo'an, you grab a handful and give it to this sister and brother-in-law to taste." ā€

"Hey." Luo An obediently grabbed a handful of peanuts and handed them to the two.

The young woman took it, broke a peanut, and handed it to her husband, only to see that the man threw it directly into the sky, but the man did not move, and the peanut fell directly into his mouth.

This accurate head made Luo'an and Ah Shu's eyes hot, and the man received their envious eyes and smiled.

The young woman herself ate a braised peanut, and shook her head with a smile when she saw her husband's little expression.

Luo Zhi observed the expressions on their faces and lost no time in continuing to sell.

"This braised peanut is our family's ancestral secret recipe, made with a variety of spices, sister, you see, boiled peanuts eat with a hand full of water, fried peanuts, eat a mouth full of black, you see how clean our braised peanuts taste, the taste is better than other peanuts." Luozhi listed the advantages of his own peanuts, and compared them to know which one should be thrown away.

The young man ate two or three of his own, and just when Luo Zhi thought he was just "tasting" to practice high-altitude picking, he nodded to his wife, who looked at him for advice.

"It tastes really good. What do you see? He said to the woman. The woman nodded slightly in agreement.

"Big brother, weigh it home and drink and eat, or bring a few catties to the family to try it." Luo Zhi said immediately.

"The little girl is very good at things, and her mouth is sweet. Okay, weigh me four pounds. The woman looked at Luozhi with a smile on her face, this little girl is not bad at speaking, and her appearance is even better.

"Okay." Luozhi was busy, she was right, this is a rich and cheerful couple.

Aunt Mu took the scale and weighed four catties of peanuts, and weighed her head high. Luo Zhi grabbed another handful to make an add, and Mu Ying took two large lotus leaves from the basket on the side, wrapped the peanuts and handed them over.

The woman counted eighty dollars and came out, and Mu Ying hurriedly accepted it.

"Walk slowly, eat well, buy it next time." Luozhi's voice was clear and said.

The man laughed twice, turned back and walked away with his woman.

"It turns out that you can really sell it for so much money." Aunt Mu Si's eyes lit up with joy, and the corners of her mouth rose and said.

Looking at the eighty coins in the money bag, everyone showed a look of surprise on their faces. The first one was successfully opened for four catties, and the four seasons made a fortune, which is a good sign.

"I said Luozhi, before selling peanuts, you have to let people taste them first." Taking advantage of the lack of business, Mu Ying asked Luozhi
