Chapter 9 The Doorway
Endured the pain of the fire bubbles on her hands, Chen Youyi washed the iron plate again and covered the stove again. Having learned the lesson of the last time, this time the iron plate was just slightly hot, so Chen Youyi brushed it with lard, and then quickly scooped up the paste and pushed it away......
Can...... I can't push it away......
Seeing that the pile of paste was almost ripe, Chen Youyi became even more anxious, and with the force of his hand, the upper layer of paste was finally scraped open, but the lower layer was already paste...... A burnt smell permeated the room......
Chen Youyi frowned and threw the discarded cakes into her homemade broken crockpot trash can.
After that, she sat aside with her face in her hands, looked at the stove with a frown, and said to herself: "This stove is obviously exactly the same as the modern one, why can't it be made into cakes now?" ”
The water droplets on the iron plate were roasted by the charcoal fire at the bottom and turned into water vapor, and soon, the water vapor evaporated clean!
Chen Youyi's eyes lit up, "Fire!" ”
Thinking of this, her fighting spirit ignited again, and she quickly opened the door of the stove, and took the tongs to clip out half of the charcoal fire!
Then, she quickly put the iron plate back into the water to cool, put the iron plate back on the stove, patiently waited for the water to evaporate, and carefully felt the temperature on the iron plate with the back of her hand.
When the temperature is almost up, quickly brush the oil, scoop the batter, and push the batter away, and suddenly a unique aroma belonging to the multigrain cake spreads......
Chen Youyi's wrinkled little face couldn't help but have a smile, smeared a layer of her special sauce, sprinkled with peanuts and green onions, took a small shovel to shovel the edge of the cake, folded it in half on both sides, a package of oil paper, and a multigrain cake with full color and fragrance was ready!
Chen Youyi picked up the cake and couldn't wait to take a bite......
The smile on his face froze suddenly......
"Phew, Phew, Phew!" Chen Youyi hurriedly spit out the cake, then poured a large mouthful of water into it, and then eased up after rinsing her mouth, "Mom, it's so salty!" ”
Chen Youyi took another sip of water, then looked at the basin of batter, dipped his finger a little, put it on the tip of his tongue and licked it, his brows frowned again, and sure enough, he ...... It's so salty!
Then I tried the sauce again, and sure enough, it was all the same salty!
She actually ignored the fact that the saltiness of this ancient salt is not the same as that of modern refined salt!
Re-added the raw materials, mixed the paste, made the sauce, and felt that the saltiness was almost the same, and Chen Youyi started to pancake again!
This time, the multigrain cake is as fresh and crispy as she makes it in modern times.
Chen Youyi bit the cake and smiled with satisfaction!
In the evening, Chen Youyi calculated the cost according to the raw materials needed for the cakes that were baked after today's success, and determined the price of two pennies for a cake.
Generally, it costs two cents to eat Wotou gruel in the morning, and there is no oil and water. Chen Youyi is still very informative about the competitiveness of her multigrain cakes.
On the second day, Chen Youyi pushed the multigrain cake that got up early to burn out of the stall, and the lard was brushed on the iron sheet, and suddenly a fuel tank drifted out, and the miscellaneous grains were scattered, and the aroma of the grain was mixed with the smell of oil, not to mention how fragrant it was in the early morning air!
Soon, a worker who went to work in the morning came over smelling the smell, "Little lady, why are you selling this cake?" ”
"Big brother, two pennies a piece, I'll keep enough oil for you! You can also add an egg, add an egg for a penny! As soon as Chen Youyi saw a guest, he immediately raised a smile and recommended.
"Okay, then girl, you can give me a taste, and I won't add the eggs first." The eldest brother said cheerfully.
"Okay!" Chen Youyi immediately skillfully brushed the oil, scooped the paste, and pushed it away, and in an instant, the unique aroma of the multigrain cake diffused......
Because of the cost, Chen Youyi naturally didn't dare to fry the steamed buns to match, and there was no lettuce in this era, so she thought of a way yesterday to fry some peanuts and sprinkle them on the cake noodles, and then serve them with some chopped chives, which tasted fragrant!
The cake was ready, wrapped in oiled paper and handed to the customer, "Big brother, you can taste it!" ”
The eldest brother took the cake and took a bite of it, the oil was fragrant, the peanut was fragrant, and the green onion was fragrant, and he immediately filled his mouth, "Well, the little lady has good skills, and I will come to you to eat the next day!" ”
As he spoke, the eldest brother handed over the two coins to Chen Youyi's hands.
People already have the psychology of trying new things, and after having the first person, people came around one after another. In addition, her cakes were indeed delicious and full of ingredients, and soon, her reputation spread!
But in the morning, Chen Youyi's multigrain paste has been sold out.
In fact, although two cents per cake is not expensive, it is not cheap, Chen Youyi is ready for a bleak business, but she found that the business of the stall on the first day was actually not bad, and it sold fifty-six wen in one day, and there was no raw material left.
She had calculated before that a piece of cake was almost a penny in profit, so it was equivalent to her earning twenty-eight wen a day today.
This made Chen Youyi's confidence soar, and he let out a heavy sigh while biting the remaining multigrain cake. I only earned 28 taels of silver in a day, and one tael of silver is equal to 1,200 yuan, when will I have to pay back the ten taels of silver......
