It's really door-to-door business!

But Tang and Rou still resisted.

Mochi actually had a prototype in this era, called mochi, and the original owner of the body had seen Song Ming eat it secretly.

Mochi has a long history, and it has been made since the Baiyue era (equivalent to the Xia Dynasty). Beat the glutinous rice repeatedly to turn it into a sticky paste, then add sugar or other ingredients and steam it. If it is exquisite, it will also be wrapped in sweet powder.

But after all, the recipe she knows has been passed down for thousands of years, with more materials, more complex workmanship, and a more natural and delicate taste. The ingredients alone involve glutinous rice flour, wheat starch, sticky rice flour, as well as different fillings and the use of dyes, which requires a lot of effort and cost.

But after all, it's just a meal, and no matter how expensive it is, it's not much more expensive.

And this snack will increase a lot of satiety, and if it is wrapped in oiled paper and made into high-end pastries for people to take away, if you don't eat it in time for a long time, it will become hard, not softer than just baked.

Compared with all these difficulties, this business will be more difficult to do than selling wine in private rooms.

The expected investment is not proportional to the income, and she politely refused: "There are brothers, in winter, diners must want to drink warm soup." This mochi is blown by the cold wind and freezes into an iron ball, which will knock out people's teeth! Moreover, the guests in the private room already have wine, and the profit of wine is higher, and I am afraid that more mochi will squeeze out the profit of wine, and the overall profit will be less. ”

When this reason was said, everyone was surprised.

Fu Man Lou often collects some seasonal recipes, or asks peasant women to cook for diners, but most people only care about making money for themselves, where will they take into account the overall income of Fu Man Lou?

This little girl is different from others, and she will think about them, which is probably the reason why the owner appreciates this little girl.

He was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "It turns out that you really just gave me food, I thought it was ......"

Tang and Rou raised their eyebrows and asked, "Why?" ”

The young shopkeeper smiled and said, "When you want to sell silver, you only eat one to taste, and the rest is taken away by the owner." ”

Tang and Rou didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

All of them are really good to her, and they will even help her transfer this mochi to Liu Jia, which is really like a considerate big brother next door!

But if Liu Jia came back and let her stay in the back kitchen as a helper, she would also have a headache.

What she wants is to make more money in the easiest way possible, instead of being tied to this Liu Jia all the time.

In fact, this mochi is just a by-product of her gluten.

The nutrition of the young lady and the beans is completely insufficient for their growth.

Although she has earned a lot of silver, most of this money is used for the house, and there is not much money for activities in her hands, but in fact, she can make them live comfortably in terms of food and clothing.

But the two children are very sensible, and they don't have the slightest consciousness of becoming a little rich, they still eat millet paste and flour, and even plan to stock up on eggs to exchange things with the people in the village.

Probably because they have been rich for a short time, they haven't adapted to the life of rich people.

Drinking porridge all day long and ingesting starchy foods will only increase obesity and temporary strength, and after a long time, it will become fat. There is vegetable protein in gluten, although the nutrients are a little monotonous, but it is better than drinking porridge all day.

The gluten method is very simple, that is, knead the wheat flour into a dough and let it rest for a while. Starch, which cannot participate in gluten molding, falls off under the action of water, while vegetable protein is insoluble in water. Wash it several times, and a lump of gluten is washed out.

Knead it into a cylindrical shape, slice it, knead some salt, add lard and sauce and stir-fry in a kettle, and a sauce fried gluten is baked!

The starch washed down cannot be wasted, and the sediment is collected after it is still, which is part of the raw material for making this mochi: wheat starch.

Wheat starch, also known as flour, can be made into crystal dumpling skin, white rice cake and many other things, cooked crystal clear, is one of the basic raw materials of many pastries.

That's not enough.

The raw materials for the rice noodles were obtained from the Rimasa family.

Sticky rice flour is the flour made from ground rice, and in the mouths of the villagers, they also paste the rice. When the young lady went to buy goat's milk that day, she saw that Li was giving the baby to drink this rice cereal, and when she turned around, she told Tang and Rou about it, and Tang and Rou asked her to use a dozen copper plates, and asked Li Zheng to buy a lot.

Take it home and add water, take the clear liquid on it and dry it, which is the refined sticky rice flour. If you are not so particular, you can also make taro cakes and radish cakes directly with rice cereal, but there will be a lot of rice particles, and the taste is not as delicate as sticky rice flour.

The glutinous rice flour was exchanged for egg cakes at the fat aunt's house.

The fat aunt is actually a rich person, she is not stingy with copper coins, and if she directly exchanges money with her, it will seem to be angry.

Anyway, there are more than a dozen chickens and ducks in the chicken pen at home, and they can touch at least five eggs every day, and their younger brothers and sisters often save and don't eat them.

Carefully calculated, the cost of making these mochi is too high, and it can be worth half a month's meal.

The flour is barely used for its own use, and if you want to sell it for money, you can't ask the villagers for it all day, at least you have to buy a mill and a mule.

There are also tools for making filtering sediment, and it is really tiring to carry such a large clay pot upside down.

But this shopping plan could only be shelved because Liu Jia did not give the money in time.

Moreover, the public delivery workshop is coming to renovate the dilapidated house, and there is no room in the yard to fiddle with this kind of thing.

Mochi can't be made, but other pastries can be considered.

Since they all promised her that they could sell pastries in the back kitchen, Tang and Rou didn't want to waste this opportunity.

She decided to go to the back kitchen of Fumanlou and make a few with the existing ingredients, anyway, as long as the taste is good enough, it will definitely be sold.

……

On the day the bus mill first came to deliver the wood, it was getting late.

The nosy mothers-in-law and aunts at the entrance of the village went home to eat. Even when the neighbor heard the sound of the cart being pulled by a scalper, he only glanced at it, but it didn't attract much attention.

After all, winter is coming, and many people in the village are repairing the house, and this dilapidated house is already broken, and it is not surprising that the three small ones called someone to repair the house.

Maybe I met a good Samaritan, confiscated their money, and mended it roughly?

However, a day later, another board truck brought more wood.

Under the sun, all the people who pass by will see this wood very clearly.

On the car, the round wood has been peeled bark, look at the cross-section, the texture is compact, the texture is fine, it is definitely the best wood. If you smell it carefully, the aroma of the wood is very fresh, with a faint hint of herbaceous sweetness.

Who can afford such a good wood, it probably costs hundreds of taels of silver!

"Whose house is going to build a house? Such a good job was not given to the people in the village, but I went to the county seat to find a carpenter! Do we still think we are folks? ”

"Where's this going? Is it a fat girl, or is it Mr. Zhang's family? ”

"I guess this must be the infirmary."
