023 Sauce Cake
The next day was still dawning, Chen Xiaoshu and Chen Linxiao had just gotten up when there was a knock on the door.
Chen Linxiao opened the door and found that it was not only Aunt Laifu who came, but even Ercai came.
"Why did Ercai come too?"
Chen Linxiao said in surprise.
Aunt Laifu rolled up her sleeves and said: "Xiao Shu didn't say that there are two new products today, I'm afraid I can't be busy, so I called this kid to help, anyway, this kid is idle at home all day." ”
Chen Xiaoshu and Chen Linxiao glanced at each other, and naturally knew that Aunt Laifu called Ercai over because she was afraid that they would really be too busy, and she was kind.
Chen Xiaoshu took out an apron and handed it to Aunt Laifu, the two of them began to make noodles first, the noodles for making sauce cakes are very particular, they can't be dead noodles, they can't use flour, but they need to use half-flour, this degree is difficult to master, and now they can almost use noodles when they arrive in the town.
After the noodles were lived, Chen Xiaoshu began to make puff pastry, which is another important factor in making the sauce cakes delicious.
Aunt Laifu looked at Chen Xiaoshu in surprise, she had also heard of the distribution of oil and noodles, but no one in every household had tried it, but Xiaoshu was very proficient.
When the puff pastry was ready, Uncle Dashan also came to knock on the door, because he was going to add new products today, so he brought a lot of things, and there were three men here, and he quickly moved the things.
Chen Linxiao and Chen Xiaoshu talked about it before they sent Ercai back to make up for sleep, although it was not the busy season for farming, it was not easy to catch insects and weeds every day.
When they arrived in the town, Lu Wang's family saw that they were still here today, and said angrily: "I still think that someone is afraid that he will not dare to come, so go home and cry." ”
Chen Xiaoshu glanced at her coldly and said, "What am I crying about, although I didn't sell much yesterday, but I didn't lose my capital, but how much did you lose yesterday?" ”
Hearing this, Lu Wang's family said angrily: "You ·······"
Chen Xiaoshu was right, they bought a day's fried buns yesterday not only did not make money, but lost money.
However, this is also within their expectations, they just squeezed Chen Xiaoshu and Chen Linxiao's shop, and then tried to raise the price and reduce the cost, and then they couldn't make much money.
Aunt Laifu set up the small table and stool, and looked at Chen Xiaoshu with inquiring eyes, Chen Xiaoshu shook her head and signaled her to leave it alone.
The surrounding merchants were surprised to see Chen Xiaoshu and them set up two pots today, one was still the original big pan, and the other was the big iron pot commonly used at home.
I don't know what is boiling in the big iron pot, I opened the lid and saw the contents tumbling, and I could see the tofu skin, kelp silk, fungus silk, and some other things inside, but this smell, people can't help but swallow saliva and sweat on their heads.
Yes, today Chen Xiaoshu is not only going to launch sauce cakes, but also Hu spicy soup.
Lu Wangshi still wanted to see Chen Xiaoshu's jokes, but she couldn't laugh after a while, because there were two more fried buns selling fried buns today, and the price was the same as theirs.
Chen Xiaoshu and Chen Linxiao thought well, since their fried buns became popular in the town, it was not only the Lu family that was red-eyed, many people were secretly trying to do it, but everyone was unwilling to be this bird, after all, this thing was not very glorious.
After the Lu family became the first bird, they had no scruples, and they all sold fried buns generously.
However, Chen Xiaoshu and Chen Linxiao, who made fried buns at the beginning, seemed to be going to do something else, and this scene made other merchants find it quite interesting.
"Yo, this is a new food?"
The first uncle to buy their fried buns walked over and looked at the cakes on the board and couldn't help but swallow.
I saw that the cake was fried golden and golden, and it was brushed with a layer of sauce, sprinkled with chopped green onions and white sesame seeds, which was really tempting.
Chen Xiaoshu nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, this new food is called sauce cake, and this spicy soup, come and try it?" ”
The uncle, that is, Fan Beishan, heard the words and said: "Is there anything to say about this sauce cake and spicy soup?" ”
Chen Linxiao smiled when he heard this: "Brother Fan, you don't know that the most important thing about this sauce cake is this sauce, this sauce is obtained by my lady with hundreds of spices, I guarantee that you still want to eat it, and this spicy soup, I won't say much, you take a sip, if you don't enjoy it, just look for me." ”
Chen Linxiao said this, which made Fan Beishan interested, and he didn't ask the price, so he said: "Then bring me some, I want to taste it." ”
"Gotcha."
Chen Xiaoshu said with a smile, took the knife in his hand, cut a third of the cakes, and then cut them into small pieces, Aunt Laifu picked up the big iron spoon, stirred it in the big iron pot, stirred it well, and slowly brought it to Fan Beishan.
Because Fan Beishan often came to his house to buy fried buns before, and Chen Linxiao was able to speak well, they were already familiar with it.
This Fan Beishan is also regarded as the number one person in Qingniu Town, and is the account office of the Xinyi Dart Bureau in the town, although he himself does not have martial arts, but he is righteous and generous, and the big men in the Dart Bureau are called brothers and sisters, and he has a lot of face in Qingniu Town.
Fan Beishan picked up chopsticks and picked up a piece of cake to fill his mouth.
The first thing you feel when you put it in your mouth is fragrant and salty.
Bite it down slowly, this cake is charred on the outside and soft on the inside, and there is a trace of the sweetness of the grain, which is really extraordinary.
After drinking a big mouthful of spicy soup, Fan Beishan's eyes widened suddenly, swallowed the soup, and couldn't help but grow his mouth, spicy, this was his first feeling.
And then it's cool, and I can't stop it.
Before I knew it, this plate of cakes and spicy soup had already been eaten.
Fan Beishan touched his stomach and said, "Bring me another bowl, this, this Hu spicy soup." ”
Chen Xiaoshu and Chen Linxiao looked at each other and smiled, knowing that the first time people drank Hu spicy soup at this time, it must be this reaction.
Aunt Fu was relieved to see that their things were welcomed.
At this moment, she also figured it out, it turned out that there were some shameless people who learned to sell fried buns with them, no wonder Xiao Shu wanted to launch a new product, if it wasn't for Xiao Shu to stop her, she would definitely ask why she was so shameless.
Sauce cakes are sold by the catty, twenty yuan per catty, a cake is about three and a half catties, and a bowl of spicy soup is five wen.
Chen Xiaoshu cut a small half of the cake for Chen Linxiao and asked him to try it for the guests.
Except for some guests who disliked the price being too expensive, most of the guests bought a pound and a half of it and went home to try it.
As for Hu spicy soup, because of the high price, not many people buy it, but those who buy it, seventy or eighty percent ask for a second bowl.
This kind of stimulation on the tip of the tongue is something that few people can resist.
Just like eating spicy food in the later life, if a person who eats spicy food is not allowed to eat spicy food, then he will definitely scratch his heart and liver and feel uncomfortable.
In this day and age, there are no chili peppers and no spices, and it's hard not to fall in love with this pungent food once it starts.
Lu Wang's family looked at the endless stream of businesses opposite, but there were many people in front of his stall, and his face was about to drip water.
Seeing the husband who was bowing his head and noodles on the side, he was angry, and slapped him fiercely and said: "Look at the people, take out the same new food, first the fried buns, and now take out this sauce fragrant cake and spicy soup, you look at you again, in addition to being able to make baked cakes, what else will you do, this fried bun is still what I forced you to learn." You useless thing! ”
