Chapter 88: Knowing People, Knowing Faces, Not Knowing Hearts
I moved to a new store, the stove room is spacious, and there are many pots and stoves.
In addition to the original braised pork, Sichuan pepper made a few greasy side dishes.
Sea vegetable jelly, pork skin jelly, potato flour and pickled cucumbers, spicy cabbage, radish heads, these are all her favorite foods.
Because I love to eat, I can make it, and I am very good at it.
Sea vegetable jelly is the Pengzi cabbage that she and Pei Ying picked up at the beach, the Pengzi cabbage is delicious, it tastes smooth and delicious, after blanching, put it in the pot and boil it into soup, the filtered soup is light brown, it solidifies into a lump when it is condensed, the garlic is mashed, put some small coriander, mix it with some soy sauce juice, and it tastes very refreshing.
Pork skin jelly and potato flour are roughly the same way.
The only difference is that pork trotter jelly is a meat dish, and the cost is higher.
Pickled cucumbers and spicy cabbage are even simpler, put salt to force out the water, mix with chili oil, and then mash the apples and pears into it, the radish head has one more process, after pickling with salt, then dry for half a day, after the surface is dried, then put in the seasoning and mix well, it tastes very crisp and delicious, she firmly believes that those people still want to eat after eating.
Pork skin jelly is a plate of five cents, sea vegetable jelly and potato flour are two cents a plate, and the rest of the side dishes are a plate of one penny.
In fact, she still loves to eat cold skin, but she has never done it in her previous life, and she has tried it a few times but it is not strong and fragile, so she has to give up for the time being, and then ponder it when she has time, so as to ensure that it can be sold.
Because she does not return to the village at night, the peppercorns are prepared the ingredients the day before, and she begins to boil all kinds of frozen powder before dawn, the weather is hot, and there is no refrigerator, she boils and makes it every day, and she would rather not sell enough, but not left.
For three days in a row, her side dishes were sold out at noon every day, and they couldn't be sold out at night.
Diners say that these side dishes are better than braised pork.
Guan Mao suggested that Sichuan pepper should be made more: "The business is so hot, every dish will be prepared twice in the future, you see, it is not enough to sell." ”
Every time, he could only bring it to the table with his eyes in his eyes, and he couldn't eat it, which was very tormenting.
Occasionally, I secretly ate one or two radish strips in the stove room, but I was reprimanded by Lao Lintou, saying that it was okay to eat meat, but not side dishes.
Huajiao felt that it was not bad for the new store to engage in some hunger marketing at the beginning, and Zhengse said: "We mainly sell meat, not side dishes, or let them know that there will be no more when they are late." ”
Anyway, the initiative is in her hands, and it is really out of stock, so she can do more.
She doesn't have a grudge against money.
Guan Mao shrugged his shoulders and showed that he didn't understand.
Lao Li Tou and Lao Lin Tou felt that the pepper was too tired, and suggested that she find someone to specialize in making side dishes.
Pei Ze went to Tongcheng to send Guan Sheng to learn carpenter, and he hasn't come back yet, otherwise, they would have told Pei Ze about it, in their eyes, this shop is peppercorn, and it is also Pei Ze's.
In the final analysis, Pei Ze is their master.
Now there are a lot of people in the store, in fact, the two of them are very busy making braised meat in the stove room, Guan Mao is also idle, and after serving the dishes, she has to clean up the table and wash the dishes or something, as for Pei Ying, she almost goes to the beach every day to pick up pengzi vegetables, and when she comes back after picking up a basket, she sits in the yard and embroiders, and then follows Guan Maoxiang home after the night.
At the end of the day, Pei Ying didn't do much work, but after all, she was the sister-in-law of the owner, and she didn't need to be paid, and it was difficult for others to say anything.
Because of living here, Sichuan pepper has more to do.
slept late at night, got up early in the morning, and after three days, even Guan Mao felt that she had lost a lot of weight, and teased her for making money.
Sichuan pepper also felt a little unbearable, and wanted to find a reliable helper to help make side dishes.
The first thing that came to her mind was Feng.
Feng Shi helped in the old shop, and he was very serious and meticulous in his work, and he was honest and easy to get along with.
She liked Feng very much.
After having enough money, he sent Feng two taels of silver to work as a salary, Feng didn't want to live or die, saying that help was help, how could he ask for money.
Sichuan Jiao had no choice but to send her some pork and buy her a piece of clothing.
Feng reluctantly took it, and complained that Huajiao treated her as an outsider.
Now that Huajiao has opened a new store, she officially invited Feng to come over to work, and she should be able to agree.
A few days ago, I heard that Feng's daughter had returned to her in-law's house with the child, and now Feng was left alone to cook for Wang Rong at home, but I don't know why, Feng didn't come to the store for several days, and Huajiao was too busy to go up to see her these days.
Later, before the meal arrived, Huajiao went to Feng's house to find her.
Fung is at home.
A person sat on the kang in a daze, his expression was very depressed.
She didn't even notice that the pepper came in, and when she recognized it as the pepper, Feng Shi hurriedly turned around and choked up: "You're not busy in the store, what are you doing?" ”
"Cousin, what's wrong with you?" Hua Jiao was startled, "Is there something wrong at home?" ”
"It's fine." Feng Shi shook his head, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and smiled reluctantly, "I'm just a little uncomfortable, go back quickly, don't delay your shop." ”
"Cousin, I'll accompany you to see the doctor!" Hua Jiao sat down by the side of the kang, grabbed her hand, surprised that her hand was cold, and there was no blood on her face, I didn't see her for a few days, the original charm of Feng Shi was haggard like this, Feng Shi shook his head, "The doctor can't cure my ...... disease"
"Cousin, when will my cousin come back?" Hua Jiao guessed that the two of them had a quarrel.
Sure enough, Feng Shi didn't squeak for a long time, and was silent for a long time before saying, "Don't mention him, it has nothing to do with me whether he lives or dies." ”
Huajiao breathed a sigh of relief and comforted: "Cousin, don't be sad, tell me something, even if I can't help you, you will feel better, right?" ”
"He has someone outside...... Feng Shi has tears in his eyes again, and he covers his face and says, "He has someone, just hide it from me, why don't you hide it, why let me know ......"
Hua Jiao's heart sank, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he comforted him weakly: "Cousin, maybe you are mistaken, my uncle is not that kind of person......"
Wang Rong is the kind of man who is very bold in her mind.
It's good for Feng, except for being drunk and liking to talk to chickens, he doesn't have any other bad habits.
"I know people and faces, but I don't know my heart, I've been with him for decades, and I haven't seen through him, let alone you." Feng Shi smiled bitterly, put on his shoes and went down to the kang, took a comb and combed his hair, and sighed, "You come with me, I'll take you to see it, so that everyone will accuse me of being a in the future......"
The two went out of the door, and went to a private house opposite Nanshi, and entered one of the alleys, Feng pointed to the second house with a plane tree at the door, and said to Hua Jiao: "Do you believe it or not, your cousin is now in with that slut, you accompany me in, I want to see what Wang Rong wants......"
"Cousin, don't be impulsive yet." Hua Jiao stopped her and persuaded, "If things are not what you think, won't it hurt the feelings of the husband and wife in vain." ”
Feng was about to say something when he heard a knock on the door.
Pepper pulled her past and hid behind a tree.
