Fritters? It's something I've never heard of again.

"Did you notice this morning, several guests were complaining about the same problem."

Hu Liang suddenly remembered: "Did you ask why we don't sell steamed buns and shortbread?" ”

Ji Yu nodded.

Not only the catering industry, but also many industries are actually taboo about single products, so every time a cycle passes, it is inevitable that the original products will be upgraded, or simply launch replacement products.

Ji Yu actually thought about this problem, but when she first got started, she wasn't sure if it was popular, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be busy, so she thought about it.

But today, the doubts about the market are completely gone.

And when she went to return Dr. Xin's medicine mill, she found out that there was already such a thing as alum at this time, and Yidetang had it. It is said that it came from the south, and it is not yet widespread, except for medicinal use, that is, it is used in some dyeing workshops.

Widow Xie proposed, "Why don't we sell steamed buns too?" ”

Hu Liang was not so approve: "In our area alone, there are three or four companies that sell steamed buns." ”

"Brother Liangzi is right." Ji Yu didn't expect that he would not only greet guests, but also have the heart to observe the surrounding situation.

"Although we have Hu spicy soup with us, we will not be bad at selling steamed buns, but there are no attractive highlights. In other words, it can only be driven by Hu spicy soup, but it can't add color to Hu spicy soup. ”

"Then the fritters you said are okay?"

"Fritters and Hu spicy soup are the same, are new things, Hu spicy soup has been accepted by customers, if fritters can also open the market, strong and strong, for us are two live signs, for guests to eat and drink, they will not run to other stalls because they feel that there are few things, we will not lose customers."

Hu Liang suddenly became interested: "Then what kind of fritters are really so magical?" ”

"Just try it."

Ji Yu scooped almost a pound of flour with a gourd and poured it into a basin, mixed it with the old noodles left before, and began to mix the noodles.

After kneading the dough, put it in the place where the sun shines in the yard, cover it with a lid, and let it ferment for half an hour.

Mix alkali, salt and alum with warm water in a certain proportion, then knead the fermented dough little by little, knead it thoroughly and continue to ferment for half an hour.

This process is called resting and makes the freshly kneaded dough softer and more elastic.

After the dough has risen, rub some oil on the cutting board, knead the dough slightly and spread it out in long and wide slices.

At the same time, the washed iron pot was already hot, and Ji Yu poured all the two jars of vegetable oil from Widow Xie's house and her own house.

Widow Xie was taken aback: "Girl, what are you doing here!" "It's so expensive to make a fritter?

Ji Yu smiled: "Don't worry, Aunt Xie, just let them go down and take a bath, it won't cost much oil." ”

Widow Xie was still distressed: "It's not costly?" It's enough, how much does it cost to pay back? Forget about using my family, keep yours. ”

Hu Liangxin also played a little drum, this fritter is white and heavy oil, will the cost be slightly larger.

Ji Yu pretended not to hear Widow Xie's nagging, turned around and cut the awakened dough into long strips about ten centimeters long and eight millimeters thick.

Then take two dough blanks and stack them on top of each other, and press them slightly in the middle with chopsticks to make them stick together.

When the oil pan starts to smoke, stretch the pressed dough slightly with your hands, so that you have the prototype of the fritters. Of course, you can also rotate it into a twist shape and then put it in the oil pan.

The oil temperature was a bit high, and Ji Yu was afraid that the oil star that popped out would burn her hands, so she asked Hu Liang to break two branches of uniform thickness to clean them, and barely used them as long chopsticks.

After the dough blank floats up, after five or six seconds, gently turn it over with chopsticks to continue frying, and after the fritters are basically set, it is necessary to turn them frequently to ensure that they can be evenly heated, so as to prevent the situation that one side is fried and the other side is not cooked.

Widow Xie was still muttering just now, and her eyes widened with Hu Liang at this moment.

They clearly saw that the two lumps of thick noodles were thrown in, and then, as if by magic, they became more and more bulging, and in the blink of an eye, they became a long, thick golden shape.

Ji Yu put the fried fish into the basin to control the oil, and continued to fry the next batch.

When the work is done, the golden fritters are placed on the table in the hall, and before anything, it tempts people to drool!

Except for Ji Yu, everyone can't wait to eat.

Then there was nothing else except Lian Kua for being delicious, and the small half pot of fritters was quickly wiped out, and even Dabao ate three of them.

Hu Liang has no worries at all: "This is absolutely fine!" It's golden, it's pleasing to look at, and it's big and affordable, it's actually fluffy inside, it doesn't cost noodles or oil, it tastes not only crispy, but also tough, just sell this! ”

Widow Xie naturally had no objections, she had just looked at the remaining oil in the pot, and she could hardly see the difference.

What she didn't know was that although the amount of oil was not obvious, the oil would turn black if it was fried more times, and the appearance and taste of the fritters would be affected. Although new oil can be added from time to time to delay this process, after a long time, harmful substances are generated, and it is necessary to pour out and replace them with new ones...... Ji Yu planned to wait until she made money to tell Widow Xie the cruel truth.

I ate too many fritters, so I didn't want to eat dinner, and considering that tomorrow was another tough battle, everyone washed up and went to sleep.

The next day, I got up earlier than the day before, and when I arrived in town, I went straight to the stall from yesterday, just because I was afraid that the stall would be occupied by others.

The strange thing is that there are people in the other stalls, and their stall is still empty.

Ji Yu secretly thought, could it be that there is something wrong with this position?

She originally wanted Hu Liang to try another place, but Hu Liang asked, and the stalls here were basically fixed compared to other places. As soon as they came, it was not good to have conflicts with others because of the stall grabbing.

"Then did you ask what happened to this stall?"

"All they said was that the place had been empty for a long time."

Hu Liang sighed: "No matter, the left and right are ownerless places, and if others don't put them, we will put them." ”

I had to do it first.

A few people split up and got busy.

Widow Xie and Hu Dacheng helped set up the tables and stools, and Hu Liang set up two simple pots and stoves, one to make Hu spicy soup and one to fry fritters.

Ji Yu cooked the spicy soup first, and when she saw that the sky was white, she began to prepare fritters.

The noodles were kneaded at home in advance, and wrapped in a quilt on the way here, and the time was enough to wake up, so at this time, they were directly spread on the board and then cut into dough, and when the oil pan was hot, they began to fry in the pan.

The people on the stall next to them inadvertently looked here, yesterday it was spicy soup, and what are you doing today?

The day was about to dawn, and before the students of the academy came out of the morning class, the guests who said they were going to come to eat Hu spicy soup had already arrived.

Hu Liang led them to the table and sat down, and the spicy soup was quickly served.

One of them took a few sips and tasted it, and then raised his neck and drank it all in one go.

"Don't say it, what kind of spicy soup do you have, it's sticky, fragrant, and it's really delicious."

Ji Yu answered by the stove: "Our Hu spicy soup is not only delicious, but also has the effect of disease prevention and fitness, and several medicinal herbs are added to it, all of which are spicy and fragrant, soothing the liver and rejuvenating the spleen." Uncle, you often come to drink, keep your body and appetite, and eat it deliciously. ”

The middle-aged man was happy when he heard this: "Isn't it? When you say that, I'll really have another bowl. ”

Hu Liang was a little confused about whether what Ji Yu said was true or nonsense, but her words were undoubtedly very effective, and several other guests were also full of praise when they heard this, and they shouted to add bowls after drinking a lot of food.

Ji Yu thought to herself, can it be ineffective? It's cheap and affordable, and it has medicinal value, so where to find it.

As he spoke, the first batch of fritters came out of the pot.

Ji Yu coughed.

Hu Liang suddenly realized, and turned into a salesman in a second.
