Chapter 24: Agar
Qiao Su made it clear what happened without concealment, "I think she's quite pitiful, and I really need someone to help here, otherwise I won't be able to take care of the business here as soon as the food is delivered." And I think that although Wang Baiyu is a little out of the ordinary, she still looks reliable. ”
Qin Shen nodded, "Yes, and in the end, what I want is that she doesn't want to be paid!" ”
"I ...... It's not that I won't give it to her, it's just that I'm not giving it for the time being. By the way, why are there two people ordering food all of a sudden? Is it really that you can't stand the temptation of the smell of food? Josu asked, leaning on the table.
"It's a cow." Qin Shen said in a low voice.
"What's wrong with that shopkeeper!" Although Qiao Su thinks that business competition is a normal phenomenon, that Niu Ji always works against her, which makes her a little unhappy! Now that she can grab customers from you, she is naturally in a high mood.
"Niu Ji doesn't sell sweet wine meatballs anymore." Qin Shen pursed the corners of his mouth and said, "But they got beef noodles and sold them at the dock, and they ...... Or learn from us. ”
"What you learned from us?" Qiao Su looked at Qin Shen puzzled, "We haven't sold beef noodles!" ”
"It's the last time I went to Niu Ji to help you buy something, the boss wanted Xiao Er to send beef noodles over, I didn't let them, so they asked them to separate the soup and noodles, and then I brought them back to you. They must have been inspired by this, and now they have made a kind of porcelain bottle with beef noodle soup. But because of this, they lost two orders. Qin Shen told Qiao Su what had happened.
Qiao Su's finger tapped lightly on the table, "Niu Ji's main food sold at the dock is steamed buns, but this season, steamed buns cool quickly, she doesn't know how to steal my sweet wine balls, and now seeing that our food is selling well at the dock, she naturally wants to get some hot food to sell!" It's a pity ......" Qiao Su shook his head, "The beef noodles themselves are expensive, and now with the addition of porcelain bottles, I think she has increased the price!" ”
Qin Shen looked at Qiao Su approvingly, "Yes, just because the price has increased, we have two orders." But you don't have to think about it, if you don't make something delicious, these two orders will naturally not fall into your hands. After all, there are many people who also bring some food from home, and they will have one bite at noon. ”
"How about a red fruit snack?" Qiao Su is not entangled in Niu Ji, after all, people who are always imitating others who don't know their own innovations really can't attract her attention, after all, she has a recipe in her head, and she can make something that no one here has eaten at any time.
"Everyone loved it, even people who didn't order food from us bought that sugar sticky! And after eating spicy food, and then eating some sweet and sour snacks, I suddenly feel that my appetite has become very good. Qin Shen also likes those red fruit snacks.
As soon as Qiao Su saw Qin Shen's expression, he knew that this man should like those snacks very much! "You wait." She was quickly pulling out the sliced Beijing cake and a bowl of red, particularly crystal clear from the corner of the kitchen.
"You taste it and see which one you prefer?" Qiao Su looked at Qin Shen with a smile, "This is a Beijing cake, I gave Zhao Guang and them a taste during the day, this is a red fruit jelly, no one has tasted it yet, it was made for you." ”
As soon as he heard that it was specially for himself, Qin Shen's heart suddenly raced, he picked up the small spoon on the side and tasted the red jelly first, this was his exclusive after all.
"Great!" Qin Shen thought about how to describe the feeling of this kind of thing in his mouth, and he savored it, "It's very elastic, it's also very smooth-tender, the taste is actually similar to sugar sticky, but the taste is better than that." The sugar sticky berries are too hard, and it may be a bit laborious if the child is alive and the elderly eat it. This must also be made of hawthorn! ”
As he spoke, he didn't wait for Qiao Su to answer, so he scooped a small piece of Beijing cake with a spoon and ate it, "This is softer than jelly, and the taste is more sour." The taste of sugar sticky is on the sweet side, which is suitable for people with good teeth; The taste of Beijing cake is sour, which retains the taste of hawthorn; As for the jelly...... This taste is very new, and it should not be easily imitated. ”
Qin Shen felt that Qiao Su in front of him was like a treasure, he didn't know what she was thinking about all day long in her little head, why she was able to make such an endless stream of food.
"Of these three foods, you should be able to see that sugar sticky seeds are the easiest to make. That one only needs to fry the sugar, then throw the hawthorn into it, and wrap it in the sugar, so it can be said that there is no difficulty in imitating it. And the cake is going to be a little harder, you ...... Can you guess it? Qiao Su looked at Qin Shen with a smile, although Qin Shen couldn't cook, Qin Shen was always able to give her a lot of good advice.
"It should have been boiled." Qin Shen pressed the Beijing cake with a spoon, "You boiled the hawthorn, then broke it, and boiled it!" ”
"Hmm!" Qiao Su nodded, "That's true, but there's just something special added to it." ”
"What is it?" Qin Shen was a little curious.
"You wait." Josu stood up and went to the kitchen to get a large bowl full of red and transparent things.
"Isn't this a cauliflower?" Qin Shen immediately called out the name of the dish.
"You know?" Qiao Su didn't expect that Qin Shen would know.
"Yuzhou is a coastal city, so naturally there are a lot of aquatic products, but not many people eat this kind of cauliflower." Qin Shen works at the dock every day, how could he not know the stone cauliflower.
"When this cauliflower is boiled, it produces a sticky, paste-like thing that I call agar." Qiao Su smiled and reached out and touched the stone cauliflower that she had soaked, which was also an unexpected joy! She didn't expect that when she went out to buy groceries in the morning, she saw someone selling this thing.
"If there is agar in the cake, then there is also jelly in it!" Qin Shen carefully recalled the difference between the two snacks and said affirmatively.
Qiao Su snapped her fingers, "Smart, it's just a different ratio, and you don't think the jelly is sour enough, because I added pear juice and apple juice to it." ”
"Since hawthorn can be made into jelly, then ...... Is it possible to use other fruits? Qin Shen felt that this jelly should be able to be bought at a good price, Yuzhou is a coastal city, and there are naturally many merchants passing through here. He frowned slightly and looked at Qiao Su, "Is this thing easy to keep?" ”
"It's very easy to preserve, even in the hottest summer, as long as it's well sealed, one can be prevented for a long time, do you want to ......" Qiao Su hadn't thought about making jelly at all before, but when she was making Beijing cakes, she suddenly thought of the vegetable gum effect of agar, so she tried it, and she didn't expect it to be successful.
