Chapter 46 Lamb Braised Noodles
"Big brother, why don't you ...... Forget it! After leaving the Xu Mansion, Douzi gritted his teeth with tears in his eyes, although he wanted to save his sister, but he also knew that the store would never be able to afford ninety yuan, so he was very sensible and wanted to take the initiative to give up, but after saying this, his tears also flowed even more.
"What's it? Isn't it just money, life doesn't bring death, I can take you to Tokyo City with your bare hands, and naturally I can get 90 in three days, so you don't have to worry about money! At this time, Li Zhang patted Douzi's shoulder lightly and said.
"But so much money......"
"What, don't you believe in Big Brother's ability?" Before Douzi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Zhang's mouth.
"No, I'm just ......"
"Okay, isn't it just money, I already thought of a few ways to find money when I went out just now, let's try it when we go back!" Li Zhang interrupted Douzi again, he didn't lie, just now he had been thinking about where to get enough ninety yuan, and now there are several ways, but he doesn't know how much money he can get.
Hearing Li Zhang say this, although Douzi didn't say anything more, his tears kept flowing, and his heart was full of gratitude to Li Zhang, his life was saved by Li Zhang, and now even his dearest sister wants Li Zhang to save him, which makes him secretly swear in his heart that he will repay Li Zhang's kindness to his sister and brother no matter what in the future.
When Li Zhang and the others returned home, it was almost dark, and the ugly girls immediately gathered around to inquire when they saw them coming back, but when they saw Douzi's tearful face, they all guessed that things were not going well, so they opened their mouths to comfort them.
But Li Zhang seemed to be nothing, after explaining a few words to the ugly girl, and then a person actually got into the small kitchen, this kitchen is used by them to cook, because Li Zhang thinks that the ugly lady is not good at their skills, so he usually cooks the two meals in the morning and evening, and there is also mutton soup in the kitchen that he has already cooked, he originally wanted to cook a different dinner for the beans today, but he didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing.
At that moment, Li Zhang lit the fire to heat the mutton soup, and then took out the awakened noodles from the basin next to him, which he kneaded in the morning, and until now, the noodles have become very strong, take them out and cut them into small strips, and then apply oil and set them aside.
Wait until the mutton soup is boiled on the high heat, and the bones inside are also tumbling in the pot with the white soup, then pick up the noodles and tear them into a wide strip and throw them into the pot, and after a while, the noodles are cooked with two fingers wide, and the noodles are copied into a large bowl at the moment, and put on the chopped coriander, shredded tofu skin, chopped green onions, salt, etc., and finally a spoonful of hot mutton soup is poured on the noodles, and then a few slices of cut mutton are put on, and a bowl of delicious and fragrant stewed noodles is made.
Li Zhang's movements were very fast, and after a while, more than a dozen bowls of stewed noodles were ready, wild dogs were more special, Li Zhang directly made a pot for him with a basin, and there was mutton soup if he couldn't eat enough, he wouldn't starve him anyway.
"Okay, you eat first, I'll go to the side!" I saw Li Zhang come out of the kitchen at this time, and then asked the ugly lady to serve everyone rice, while he himself took a bowl of braised noodles to the soup cake shop next to Zhou Laoshi.
The so-called soup cake is actually noodles, the soup cake made by Zhou Laoshi is similar to the handmade noodles of later generations, that is, the noodles are rolled into a thin slice with a rolling pin, and then cut into thin noodles with a knife, put them in the pot and cook, pour on the mutton soup and then cut a few slices of mutton, the materials are very similar to the stewed noodles, but the taste is far from the braised noodles, especially the noodles are not strong, and the taste alone is much worse.
Now it's dark, because I'm worried about the curfew, so there are no customers in the store, and Zhou Laoshi's family is also cleaning up the store, and Li Zhang also smiled directly after coming in: "Has Uncle Zhou eaten?" ”
"No, why are you here, little brother Li?" Zhou Laoshi saw that Li Zhang also hurriedly put down the work in his hand, his store is much bigger than Li Zhang's side, the store can put down more than a dozen tables and chairs, and the business is also very good, from morning to night, there are almost no fewer customers in the store, so Zhou Laoshi is usually very busy, only at noon when he delivers food, he will go to Li Zhang's place, and occasionally buy some braised meat back.
"Haha, dinner has just been made at home, and it's still soup cakes, I used to eat Uncle Zhou's soup cakes, so I want you to try the soup cakes I made?" Li Zhang smiled at this time and put the stewed noodles in front of Zhou Laoshi and said.
"Yo~, Brother Li can also make soup cakes?" The sister-in-law of the Zhou family couldn't help but come over curiously when she heard Li Zhang's words, she was a woman in her forties, middle-aged and fattened made her figure a little bloated, but her appearance was shrewd, in fact, Zhou Laoshi was only responsible for making soup cakes, and she was responsible for everything else inside and outside the store.
"It smells so good!" Cai Niang also twitched her nose at this time, and then lay on the stewed noodle bowl and drooled, she didn't eat less of Li Zhang's cooking, so she already knew Li Zhang's cooking skills.
"It's indeed fragrant, how is this soup boiled?" Zhou Laoshi is worthy of being a master of making soup cakes, and knows that the key to a bowl of soup cakes is the soup, and the soup in this bowl of soup cakes is snow-white and fragrant, far stronger than the mutton soup he boiled.
"Uncle Zhou, you have a taste first, let's talk in detail!" Li Zhang said again with a smile.
Hearing Li Zhang say this, the sister-in-law of the Zhou family also hurriedly brought chopsticks, and then Zhou Laoshi first picked up a piece of stewed noodles and looked at it, and there was a little more suspicion in his eyes, it is estimated that it is the first time he has seen such wide noodles, but he still put the noodles in his mouth and tasted them, and immediately praised loudly: "Good taste, this skill is much stronger than mine!" ”
Hearing Zhou's honest words, Zhou's sister-in-law was still a little unconvinced, and immediately grabbed the chopsticks and tasted them herself, but also had to admit that the soup cakes made by Li Zhang were not only delicious, but also strong, and even the mutton as a topping was better than her own cooking, which made her can't help but show a frustrated expression, if Li Zhang opened a soup cake shop, I am afraid it will not take long to rob his family's business.
"I didn't expect that Brother Li, you not only made the braised pork well, but even the soup cakes were so good, remembering that I used to praise our soup cakes in front of you, it's really a bit embarrassing!" Zhou Laoshi praised very sincerely at the moment, and in the end, he also showed an embarrassed expression, it seemed that he didn't think about anything else at all.
"Uncle Zhou is polite, in fact, I won't tell you, I call this soup cake braised noodles, the most important thing is the preparation method of mutton soup and noodles, and today because some ingredients have not been found, the taste is still worse, otherwise it will be more delicious!" Li Zhang smiled and said again, his meaning was actually obvious, it was nothing more than wanting to sell the stewed noodles to Zhou Laoshi in order to raise money for the beans.
But Zhou was too honest, and he still didn't understand what Li Zhang meant at this time, fortunately, the sister-in-law of the Zhou family next to him was very shrewd, and then looked at Li Zhang and smiled: "Little Brother Li, you have something to say, but if you have anything to say, you should say it directly, my family can't understand your words!" ”
"Haha, it's still the sister-in-law of the Zhou family who is straightforward, then I'll say it directly, you two have also tasted this braised noodles, if your store also makes this kind of braised noodles in the future, I'm afraid the business will only be better, and there will be no shortage of dowry for Cai Niang by then!" Li Zhang laughed out loud at the moment.
"Oh~, it turns out that Brother Li wants to sell us the braised noodles!" Zhou Laoshi finally got his head at this time, and when he patted his thigh, he said excitedly, he was still very interested in the method of braised noodles.
However, compared to Zhou Laoshi, the sister-in-law of the Zhou family was very calm, and she smiled at Li Zhang at this time: "Of course we want to buy such delicious braised noodles, but we are a small business, I don't know how much Brother Li plans to make?" ”
"This ......" mentioned the price, but Li Zhang showed a hesitant expression, because he didn't know how much to open, after all, this thing is not like braised meat, there is no reference at all, if there is more, the other party will definitely not agree, and if it is less, he will also suffer, after all, he needs money now.
"Sister-in-law of the Zhou family, you can give a price, after all, it is the first time for me to sell this thing, and I don't have a score in my heart!" Li Zhang finally kicked the ball to the other party again, anyway, the price can be negotiated.
"Wuguan, our family's soup cakes are already very famous, and the business is also very good, and having braised noodles is just the icing on the cake, and if you don't have it, you can't make a few bucks." The sister-in-law of the Zhou family said very shrewdly.
"Sister-in-law of the Zhou family, it's not interesting for you to say that, if I sell the stewed noodles to other people on this street, I will definitely steal your family's business at that time, so the stewed noodles are actually more important to you, and I also want to sell it to you because Uncle Zhou has been taking care of us!" Li Zhang said without showing weakness.
Zhou Laoshi couldn't interject at this time, and the sister-in-law of the Zhou family couldn't help but look at him deeply when she heard Li Zhang's words, and probably didn't expect that Li Zhang, who was so young, would be so difficult to deal with, but she was not so easy to be persuaded.
"Okay, that's it, I'll teach Uncle Zhou the method of braised noodles now, it's just that the money is ......," Li Zhang finally said.
The sister-in-law of the Zhou family is also a cheerful person, and immediately went upstairs to carry a bag of copper coins to Li Zhang, Li Zhang counted exactly fifteen, so he immediately took Zhou Laoshi to the kitchen, and explained the method of braised noodles to the other party in detail, which is mainly the method of mutton soup, the ingredients that need to be used, and the treatment of noodles and so on.
After teaching Zhou Laoshi, Li Zhang called the wild dog to carry the fifteen copper coins back to the store, and saw that Li Zhang raised so many copper coins on a trip, and they were all shocked by the beans, and their hearts were also lit with hope, Li Zhang also showed full confidence, it seemed that ninety guan was really not a problem, which made the beans more confident.
However, Li Zhang's heart is actually not as confident as he shows, he couldn't sleep that night, and he kept thinking about ways to raise money in his mind, but just like the previous method of selling braised noodles, he didn't know how much money these methods could raise for himself?
