Chapter 365 Untie the knot
Bai Mengdie sat on the bus and giggled, feeling that she had made too much money, and actually bought authentic Xinjiang cumin and authentic Yunnan dried millet spicy and millet spicy ground chili powder.
There are other marinades and condiments that are all authentic.
She thought to herself, it would be nice if she could get her grandmother to help grow some millet spicy, and plant a little red and yellow.
The red one is dried and the braised vegetables are particularly spicy, and the yellow ones are super delicious when made of pickled peppers.
As soon as she thought of spicy, Bai Mengdie remembered that Chen Ziqian told him that Grandpa Chen had eaten her braised vegetables for several days in a row.
The secret recipe for brine recorded in the recipe she got by chance in her previous life was magical, and there were not only marinades in the recipe, but also traditional Chinese medicine.
The effect of these herbs is to clear away heat, reduce cholesterol, and degrade purine acids.
Braised vegetables use a lot of brine that is on fire, and if you eat it for a long time, it is easy to catch fire.
But because of the addition of seven or eight flavors of traditional Chinese medicine, the marinade recipe will not get angry no matter how you eat it, and it will not cause cholesterol and purine acid to soar significantly.
However, Bai Mengdie has never tried to add these herbs to braised vegetables.
In her previous life, she was not fat, and she didn't cook braised vegetables every time she was a food anchor.
In her previous life, she had strict management of her body, controlled meat, and ate meat dishes such as braised pork less than ten times a month, and her cholesterol and purine acids in her body never exceeded the standard.
And she loves to drink chrysanthemum tea and honeysuckle tea, so she is not easy to get angry.
During this time, she sold braised vegetables, and she didn't add traditional Chinese medicine, because she was testing the water, and she didn't want to be so troublesome.
But last night, Chen Ziqian's words reminded Bai Mengdie that Grandpa Chen loves to eat braised vegetables so much, and eats them every day, it is difficult to ensure that cholesterol and purine acid do not rise, and it is easy to get angry when eating braised vegetables on a hot day.
These questions bothered Grandpa Chen, and they must have troubled many customers.
Now that the food stall business is so good, if you want to catch customers for a long time, you have to work every detail.
If you eat your own braised vegetables, customers will not get acne if they don't get hot, and they can control cholesterol and purine acid to a certain extent.
Since I still have the money left over from the sale, I bought all the Chinese medicine in the marinade recipe and added it to the brine to see the effect.
After getting out of the car, Bai Mengdie went to the pharmacy to complete all the Chinese medicines, and then returned home.
Bai Mengdie took some spices, marinades and the like that she was going to use now, and wrapped the rest and put them on the top of the big wardrobe.
Jiangcheng because the Yangtze River passes through the city, the humidity is very heavy all year round, and those halons and the like are not high and put up, for fear of deterioration by moisture.
Bai Mengdie took the traditional Chinese medicine and the seasonings and condiments to be used, a pound of dried kelp and marinade, and clean gauze and went downstairs and went to the rental house.
Tian Chunfang washed all the vegetables out in the morning, blanched all the ingredients to be marinated, and the first batch of ingredients had been marinated in brine.
When Bai Mengdie entered the house, Tian Chunfang was making lunch, and when she saw that she was carrying five packets of Chinese medicine in her hand, she was startled, and hurriedly asked: "Who is sick, is it you or your father who is uncomfortable?" ”
"No one was uncomfortable." Bai Mengdie put the seasonings and marinades in her hand on a stool in the big room, "These traditional Chinese medicines are all to be added to the brine, so that the marinated vegetables will not be hot." ”
"Ahh And this saying! Tian Chunfang was very surprised, and while making lunch, she watched with interest as Bai Mengdie wrapped five packets of traditional Chinese medicine with gauze, put them into five brine soup hangers, and asked, "What about your father, why didn't he come back with you?" ”
Bai Mengdie scooped some brine with a spoon and tasted it in a bowl.
Although the older the brine, the better, but the number of brine, the aroma of the marinade in it is insufficient, and the marinade has to be replenished every once in a while.
It is more difficult to add the brine than it is to add the brine at the beginning.
At the beginning, the marinade could be mixed in proportion according to the amount of water and marinated vegetables, but now it is all judged by taste, which requires talent, and it happens that Bai Mengdie has this talent.
"Dad went to the telecom business hall to report the phone, and he had to go to his acquaintance to get our customized roast car, and by the way, he asked his family to make another breakfast car, so he didn't come back with me."
Tian Chunfang let out an "oh" and continued to cook.
Bai Mengdie smelled a sweet pumpkin fragrance and knew that Tian Chunfang was cooking pumpkin.
In fact, in addition to cooking and eating pumpkins like the farmer, there are N many ways to eat them, but unfortunately none of them are time-consuming, and Bai Mengdie has no time to do it.
When she earns money and her family's life is on the right track, she will definitely not have to live such a hard life as now, and it will not be too late to cook food when she is free.
Bai Mengdie tasted the brine in each soup pot, and then according to the different tastes of the brine in each soup pot, an appropriate amount of brine was wrapped with gauze and put into the corresponding soup hanger.
After doing this, she took a pound of good dried seawater to the balcony to soak it, and found a few pots of crayfish covered with screen cloths on the balcony.
She took the water and soaked the kelp in the basin, then walked to the kitchen door and asked Tian Chunfang: "Big brother, have they been here?" ”
"What time is this, they must have been here." Tian Chunfang turned off the gas and put the boiled pumpkin into a small soup pot.
Bai Mengdie said regretfully: "I originally had something to say to my eldest brother...... Forget it, it's the same with the eldest brother tomorrow, don't rush this time. ”
Tian Chunfang was sweating profusely from cooking, and went to the bathroom to wash her face: "What do you want to say to your eldest brother, you tell me, in case you still can't meet your eldest brother tomorrow, I can help you tell him." ”
Bai Mengdie leaned against the door frame of the kitchen and said: "It's not an important thing, I just want my eldest brother to catch river shrimp when catching crayfish and don't throw them away, and let grandma help me dry shrimp and sell dumplings."
And I also want my grandmother to make soybean sauce and pickled all kinds of sauerkraut, so that I can save money to buy other people's. ”
Tian Chunfang nodded: "Tomorrow I saw your eldest brother tell him, and ask your grandmother to help us make some wine koji."
Aren't you going back to the county tomorrow to get your transcript and attend the dismissal ceremony?
It just so happens that your brother has also finished the college entrance examination, so when you return to school, you will go back to the countryside to see your grandparents, and then go back to the city with your brother, and let your brother carry a bag of glutinous rice, so that I can make sweet rice wine and sell it. ”
Bai Mengdie thought for a while and said, "I have to let my brother carry a bag of stalk rice, let's cook porridge and sell it, and bring sauerkraut back, it's not okay to sell porridge without free sauerkraut." ”
Tian Chunfang said "good", and asked suspiciously: "How to cook dumplings and use small dried shrimp, do you chop the small dried shrimp to make meat filling?" ”
Bai Mengdie smiled: "No, people in the city are more particular about eating dumplings, and the bowl should be sprinkled with a little dried shrimp and a little seaweed, so when I went to the dry goods wholesale market with my father just now, I specially bought five catties of dried seaweed and came back, just to prepare for selling dumplings." ”
The mother and daughter were talking, Bai Aiguo came back excitedly, and said with a happy face: "The roast car has been brought back, Lao Qi is a real person, all of them are made of thick iron sheets, the roast car must be used, and a cart full of wood is stuffed under our car."
Lao Qi also said that there is a lot of leftover wood like this on the construction site, so I have time to pick up two sacks by myself. ”
Tian Chunfang was also grateful: "Lao Qi used good materials, is our money enough, can't we make people suffer?" ”
Bai Aiguo asked Bai Mengdie to pour him a cup of cold boiled water and drink: "I also asked Lao Qi the same, and Lao Qi said that all the leftovers he used were leftovers from the construction site, and there was no cost." ”
"That's good." Tian Chunfang put her mind at ease, "You go wash your hands and face, and then bring the food home, and my daughter and I will go home with the dishes first." ”
Bai Mengdie and Tian Chunfang went home with two plates of vegetables in their hands, and Bai Aiguo also came back afterwards, telling Bai Mengdie's mother and daughter that he had gone to the telecom business hall to report the installation of the phone, and a staff member would come to install it in three days.
A family of three eats together.
Bai Mengdie guarded a plate of fried bitter gourd and a plate of fried sweet potato stalks with dried chili peppers, she didn't eat much when the pumpkin was cooked roughly, and she didn't like to eat zucchini.
However, Bai Aiguo and his wife both love to cook pumpkin and eat it, and they are all very happy.
Bai Aiguo also happily told Bai Mengdie's mother and daughter that his good friend Master Zheng, a welder, planned to improve the breakfast cart a little and fold the tabletop.
When the business is open, open the folding tabletop, there is an extra meter of space to put things, and when the business is finished, close the folding tabletop and do not take up space.
Bai Aiguo thought his design was very good, so he ordered two breakfast cars and gave a total of 300 yuan.
Tian Chunfang saw that Bai Mengdie's food was too light, so she pushed a plate of scrambled eggs with green peppers in front of her:
"Fluttershy, don't just be vegetarian, eat some eggs, since our family started selling food stalls, you look thin, you don't have to go on a diet to lose weight."
Bai Mengdie also knew that she had lost a lot of weight recently, so she didn't go on a diet to lose weight, but it was just too hot, and she didn't want to eat dishes like eggs and meat, she just wanted to eat light.
But to tell Tian Chunfang the truth, Tian Chunfang must have to find out how to cook her favorite dishes, which will increase her burden, so she reluctantly sandwiched some scrambled eggs and ate them.
Tian Chunfang was satisfied and asked, "Why did your eldest brother and your uncle come to deliver crayfish this morning?" Didn't you arrange for your uncle and your eldest brother and grandmother to take turns to bring us crayfish? Why did it change again? ”
Bai Mengdie mixed the dishes in the bowl with the rice, and said, "It was my grandmother who objected to my arrangement, saying that we don't have to take care of the eldest brother's grandmother's house, just take care of the second uncle's family and my own grandmother and uncle." ”
Tian Chunfang suddenly felt a lightness in his heart: "Actually, I wanted to say this when you arranged it that day, but I was afraid that you and your father would say that I took care of my mother's family, so I didn't dare to speak." ”
Bai Aiguo took the chopsticks and said: "You don't have to be like this, just say what you have to say, we are a family." ”
Then he apologized, "You can't blame Fluttershy for this, she's so young, how can she do everything?"
It's all my fault, I should have denied it when I heard Fluttershy do this, how could I not help her grandparents and uncles but help unrelated relatives? ”
Tian Chunfang's heart was warm: "What's wrong with you, you can't be so careful as a big man, I didn't expect it to be normal." ”
Then change the topic and ask Bai Mengdie the price of those marinades and the like that she bought back from the dry goods wholesale market.
Bai Mengdie quoted the price to her one by one.
Tian Chunfang nodded again and again, feeling that the price was too cost-effective.
Bai Aiguo said: "Although the price is cost-effective, you still have to have a pair of sharp eyes, and eight out of ten dry goods sold in the wholesale market are adulterated." ”
Tian Chunfang said with deep feelings: "Now the people who do business are not as honest as before, who is not adulterated?" ”
Bai Mengdie took a small bite of food and said, "Today, my father and I met Li Hongqi and his son at the dry goods wholesale market. ”
She didn't like Li Hongqi, so she didn't want to call him cousin.
Bai Mengdie deliberately mocked a few words, Li Hongqi wore a huge gold ring to show off in front of her father and daughter.
Tian Chunfang is tranquil by nature and doesn't like to compare with others, so he doesn't care that Li Hongqi wears a big gold ring.
Listening to Bai Aiguo, Li Hongqi told him that their family had opened three dry goods wholesale stores, and sincerely said that his family had developed.
Bai Mengdie remembered that Li Haoyu told her that his family had bought a new house in the area around the street.
Tian Chunfang didn't have much envy when she heard it, but she was a little angry when she heard Bai Mengdie say that Li Hongqi wanted to force Bai Aiguo to buy his fakes.
Angry and angry: "Their family is now developed, just a high-minded face, Li Hongqi doesn't want to think about the poor jingle when he first came to Jiangcheng, and he runs to your father's place every day to eat, and it is a year or two to rub it."
Your cousin Hong Xianglan can't farm in the countryside alone, so she gave her two children to your grandmother.
Now that it's developed, I haven't seen them buy things to honor your grandma once during the New Year's holidays, and I'm embarrassed to force your dad to buy their fakes, I don't know where they got such a big face. ”
Bai Mengdie persuaded: "It's not okay for this kind of villain to ignore him, there's no need to be angry." ”
Tian Chunfang asked worriedly: "Then next time you go to the dry goods market to buy goods, what if he still forces you to buy his fake goods so shamelessly?" ”
Bai Mengdie said nonchalantly: "If we don't buy it, can he still eat us?" If he dares to be shameless, we will dare to tear his face with him. ”
Bai Aiguo nodded: "Fluttershy is right, he doesn't have a face, so we don't have to give him face." ”
After eating, Bai Mengdie went to the rental house, washed the twenty catties of frozen front leg meat that Bai Aiguo brought back, and then cut it into small pieces and marinated, and then went home to take a nap and recharge his energy for the food stall business at night.
It took me two hours to get out of bed.
went downstairs, Bai Mengdie first went to the carport to visit her family's roasting car, and saw that the two roasting cars were really practical and beautiful, and it was not a loss to give four hundred yuan at all.
When she arrived at the rental house, Bai Mengdie saw that Bai Aiguo and his wife were already cleaning the crayfish in high spirits, so they started to make the barbecue sauce.
There are a lot of tomatoes brought back from the countryside, and they are not bad, and Bai Mengdie has made all of them into tomato sauce.
After each sauce is ready, Bai Mengdie is all packed in a porcelain jar, cooled naturally, and then sealed tightly, and put as much as it can be used in the bowl every day.
Even on a hot day, as long as the jar is placed in a cool and ventilated place, it can ensure that it will not be damaged for a week.
Bai Mengdie thought to herself, after making so much tomato sauce, you can brush some tomato sauce when selling Wu Dalang's baked cakes tomorrow, not only is it delicious, but you can also use the tomato sauce, saving it from being spoiled for a long time and ruining things.
