Chapter 15 Low-priced sugar cakes
"Are you too tired?"
"I'm not tired, I can still exercise by walking a few more steps a day."
Qin Shen was amused by her, and it was freezing outside the house, so he pulled Qiao Su into the house to roast the fire.
The next day, Qiao Su changed the ratio of ingredients and made a spicy tang with a lower spiciness, one bowl is a sweet and spicy taste that is biased towards the bowl chicken soup stock, it smells fragrant, and the aftertaste is a little spicy, and the other is a sour and hot taste with a lot of vinegar, she prepared some noodles to bring over, and when Qin Shen ate all the dishes, she used another soup to make noodles and eat them.
"How? Which one is better? Qiao Su squatted in front of Qin Shen and Yan Da, eager to know the answer.
Qin Shen's slender fingers held the wooden chopsticks, chewed and tasted slowly, his movements were extremely elegant, Yan Da was much rude, and poured the bowl into his mouth, his face was red when he ate, and his kung fu was swept away in the blink of an eye.
Yan Da gave a thumbs up, "It's delicious!" I've never eaten anything so delicious! ”
The dock was cold, he ate his mouth full of red oil, and after blowing the wind, the red oil solidified into lumps, sticking to his mouth like wax, Yan Da licked his mouth and frowned and said, "It's just that the taste of this Guofu is too light, and his mouth seems to be frozen after eating, this second bottle of soup is good, very delicious." ”
"I also think the second bottle is delicious, and the vinegar is more appetizing, and it makes me warm when I eat it."
Qiao Su turned his head to look at the bottle, which was a soup stock with vinegar, which tasted similar to hot and sour noodles.
With their suggestion, Josu decided to mix two bowls of hot and sour noodles tomorrow to try, and on the way back to the tavern, she went to the market to buy some sweet potatoes and fish fat to use to make sweet potato powder.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, he saw Zhao Guang and a man sneakily looking into the house, and Qiao Su's heart suddenly became alarmed.
"Who are you, and what are you doing on my doorstep?"
"Sister." Zhao Guang ran towards her, took the corner of her clothes and said, "He is Li Zhuang who sells meat in Beishi, and Li Ergou's father." ”
Li Zhuang rubbed his hands and asked Qiao Su with a smile, "Do you still have that brown sugar bun yesterday?" I paid for it, and my son was clamoring for food, but I couldn't-"
Qiao Su was stunned and understood that he was going to buy brown sugar glutinous rice cakes.
"Do you really want to buy it? I didn't think about selling it, but my family is poor, so I really can't give it to you for nothing. Saying that, Qiao Su blushed a little, it was not that she was slamming the door, but that her purse was getting deflated day by day.
In the next second, Li Zhuang handed her twenty copper plates and begged, "Can the girl sell me some brown sugar buns?" My precious son is clamoring for food, and I'm paying for it! ”
"The brown sugar is gone, I can only make you white sugar filling, and the taste is almost the same."
"Okay, well, listen to you!" Li Zhuang nodded again and again, and said, "The sweet bun you made is the only one in the city, my son said that the bun is soft and sticky, and it won't dry for a long time, which is different from what is sold in ordinary stores, what is it made of?" ”
"The crust is rice, but if I had the money to buy glutinous rice, it would taste better."
"How can rice be made so delicious?"
Qiao Su smiled mysteriously, put the silver into his bag and said, "Of course there is a secret, and you have to be able to do it, you can wait for me for a while." ”
With that, she walked into the house.
After about half a pillar of incense, she wrapped the white sugar glutinous rice dumplings that had just come out of the pot in straw paper and handed them to Li Zhuang, saying: "The sugar on the market is fifty wen per catty, and the rice is forty wen per catty. ”
Li Zhuang weighed the heavy paper bag in his hand and praised it: "The shopkeeper is really generous!" ”
"My little eatery is about to open, and you can come and cheer for it then!" Qiao Su handed him the change he was looking for, and said, "If you still want to eat sweet buns, just ask me to buy them." ”
"That's what business has to do! Next time, you can calculate the money, don't let yourself lose money! Li Zhuang gave her a thumbs up, picked up the paper bag and left.
Qiao Su stared at Zhao Guang thoughtfully for a while, and then pulled him to the bottom of the steps and spoke: "Do you like to eat yesterday's brown sugar glutinous rice dumplings?" How about I make a little bit for you to eat every day? ”
Zhao Guang nodded again and again, a little joy appeared in his eyes, Qiao Su followed and said: "But good things have to be shared with friends, if you see other children, give them food, if they like it, let their mothers come to me to buy it, can you remember?" ”
I don't know if Zhao Guang understood the meaning of the tasting, Qiao Su didn't report much hope, but he had to warm up in advance for the opening, maybe this method could accumulate popularity?
In the afternoon, she set up two small pots outside the door, one for boiling sweet potato flour for straining, and the other for oil, waiting for the person who came to buy glutinous rice cakes to appear.
At first, she was concentrating on the study of sweet potato flour, but when there was another person in front of the oil pot, she looked up and saw that it was a talent in a long shirt.
"Buy, buy glutinous rice cakes?" Josue asked him.
Xiucai blushed when he landed, and like a thief, he took out fifty copper plates from his arms and stuffed them to her, his voice was smaller than that of a mosquito, "Yes, I'll buy it." ”
Qiao Su took the money with a smile, blew up a lot of it for him, wrapped it and handed it over, "Two cents for one, you gave fifty wen, and there are twenty-five here." ”
"Thank you." Xiucai quickly put the things into his arms, saw that there was no one around, and whispered to Qiao Su, "Your cooking is delicious, my classmates are full of praise, I will buy it tomorrow!" ”
"Why do you act like a thief?"
"This, this is a child's food, I am a scholar to buy it, it is really discouraged-" After saying that, he turned around and ran.
Qiao Su wanted to ask clearly, but the second person who came to buy the glutinous rice cake appeared, so she had to collect the money to fry the glutinous rice cake first.
After that, people kept coming to her to buy, and one afternoon passed, all the two catties of rice and one catty of sugar she prepared were sold out, and there were hundreds of texts in the small bamboo basket, and even she was startled after counting them.
Qin Shen found that Qiao Su could come up with some new tricks every day when he came back from work, he probed the temperature of the pot wall with his hand, and asked Qiao Su, "How many hours have you been standing outside the house?" ”
"It's only two or three, I can't remember." Qiao Su disagreed, rubbed his sore waist, and opened the small bamboo basket to Qin Shen like a treasure, "Look, I have made so much money!" ”
"Did you lose money?"
"Probably not, I have to go back and do the math, it's a mess today."
"You still have to plan for a good life, and I'll help you see it when you go back." After speaking, Qin Shen helped her extinguish the firewood, took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, "It's cold outside the house, don't stand here tomorrow." ”
Qiao Su stomped her feet, it was the coldest when the snow melted, her feet were about to be frozen into ice cubes, and hurriedly ran into the warm and thawing house, Qin Shen cleaned up the oil pot outside the house, and walked in with those trivial things.
"Let me tell you, there is a showman who came to buy glutinous rice cakes today, but it's interesting, he lowered his head and shrunk his hands, like a thief-"
