Chapter 65: A good start
Fifty skewers don't have to be eaten by one person, you can make up an order with a few friends, anyway, just make up fifty, and send five more skewers.
The two cauldrons were divided into ten small grids, and the heart of the pot was set aside for fresh vegetables, and now each small grid was filled with clean bamboo skewers with good dishes, and the hot soup with a strong fragrance was tumbling, and a layer of red chili oil floated on it, as well as large dried chili peppers, and the smoke was slightly curling.
In her last life, Cheng Enni's first business was a spicy stall at a crossroads in Jiang Province, but she was a mobile vendor at the time, and she had to watch out for the elusive urban management brigade at will.
Now the conditions are much better than later, at least there is no elusive chengguan brigade, and no one cares about this wasteland at the fork in the road.
It is said that it belongs to the biscuit factory opposite, but when Cheng Jianbo was building a shed, the factory leader passed by and only asked what he was doing, so he didn't care anymore.
However, in order to build a good relationship, after Cheng Jianbo knew that he belonged, he still deliberately bought cigarettes and alcohol and walked away, there is no way, our country has always been a personal society.
Malatang, Cheng Enni is very emotional, in order to learn to do this well, she has suffered a lot.
When she was working in the factory, because the canteen food was not good and she worked overtime for a long time, Cheng Enni's stomach was very bad, and after deciding to do this by herself, Cheng Enni first ran all over the streets and alleys of Jiang Province, tasted all the spicy hot shops, and ate bad stomach countless times.
Later, I started to make it myself, tried the soup base and tried all kinds of different chili spices, and the most ruthless one almost tried myself in the hospital.
The stall that paid a lot of hard work finally gave Cheng Enni a rich reward.
Because the ingredients are cleaned and the soup base is fragrant, it is not the kind of thousand rolling bottom that does not change the soup for several days, let alone fake bone broth mixed with additives, but a solid thick soup boiled with pork bones.
After about a year's stall, Cheng Enni saved a sum of money to open a small shop, and then developed little by little, until before she was reborn, Cheng Enni was already a strong woman with a small net worth.
Of course, Cheng Enni has also failed because of her poor vision, and she has been cheated by people because she doesn't know people clearly, and starting a business has always been difficult, especially when Cheng Enni really has nothing.
The peppercorns and chili peppers used in Malatang were sent from Shudi, Cheng Enni made Malatang in her last life, and later ran through many cities in order to keep improving, just to find the best flavoring ingredients, and ran all over the place of origin.
As a result, we have met many farmers who have grown these products for generations, and have established long-term and good cooperative relationships.
Every time everyone has the opportunity to get together, they always have to remember the bittersweet memories, Cheng Enni heard several friends mention that in the 80s, due to various reasons, they planted a small amount and the transportation was inconvenient, and they often had to face the reality that the merchants lowered the price and the spices could not be sold.
No matter what you eat, spices are indispensable, and Cheng Enni wrote a letter to buy spices as early as when the fast food restaurant started to make it.
She was very sincere, and after understanding the price, she didn't even see the shadow of the goods, so she sent money directly.
Those old friends and elders did not disappoint Cheng Enni, and the spices were all mailed to her, but because the postal service was slow, several seasonings were delayed until the winter vacation.
Fortunately, it was just in time for Malatang to open.
"It smells so good!" Cheng Enni and the others shouted for a while, and the stove was already full of girls who got off work, and Hu Shuiying and Cheng Enni neatly handed over the bowl with the dipping material.
The female employee took a deep breath, the red chili pepper really stimulated the appetite, but this kind of spicy tang never appeared in a small county town, and everyone didn't know how to reach out for a while.
Cheng Enni took a spoon and scooped some hot soup into their bowls, and then grabbed the bamboo skewers and showed them, "Vegetarian dishes are three skewers, meat dishes are one dime and one bunch, take what you want to eat, there are fragrant dried kelp, there are potatoes and lotus root slices, fresh vegetables are on the shelf, we will help you get it down, put the skewers in the bamboo tube after eating, and settle the bill after eating." ”
"Potatoes, give me a string of potatoes, I like to eat fragrant dried potatoes, and then two strings of fragrant dried ......" The female employee who couldn't help but secrete her saliva quickly chosen, took a string and ate a string, and it was still slightly hot in her mouth, and then drank a sip of bone broth sprinkled with chopped green onions, which really warmed her stomach all of a sudden, "delicious, so spicy......"
Cheng Enni's stall has never stopped people, and even some people came in, and found that they couldn't squeeze in, and they had standing to eat, of course, more of them were unwilling to wait and left first.
On the first day of the opening, small firecrackers were put off, but it ushered in a good start, all the skewers were sold out, and two-thirds of the full pot of soup base was directly removed.
"It's all spicy today, or let's put less peppers tomorrow." Hu Shuiying discussed with Cheng Enni on the road.
Cheng Enni thought for a while, "Let's have two cauldrons, one less is to put it, you didn't look at them shouting happily, but eat more happily, it's okay, most of us can eat spicy food." ”
There was also a girl who asked for water and soaked the layer of chili oil to eat, but when she started again, she still went to pick the spiciest one.
The job of spicy soup is still easier than frying fast food, just wear it and cook it, although Cheng Enni is more demanding, and the time for each ingredient to put it down has requirements, but in general, it is much easier than wielding a spatula.
But the manpower is still not enough, and the strings can't be skewered, mainly because the daughter-in-law of Erzhu took the child and her mother-in-law to the provincial capital for surgery, and the manpower suddenly became nervous.
Originally, Cheng Enni meant to recruit a short-term worker, but the third uncle didn't let her, and she came up with a copper lock to help.
Don't look at the old lady's age, but her hands and feet are neat, and she is no worse than the young man.
Bamboo skewers are reused, their small family, really can't stand a batch of changes, not the process Ennie has requirements, reuse, must be repeatedly cleaned and then high temperature disinfection, and the number of reuse can not exceed five times.
In her previous life, when Cheng Enni tried it, why she always ate bad stomach was because most of the spicy tang was unclean and unhygienic.
Cheng Enni has no culture, but she has identified one when doing business, and while ensuring taste, she must have a conscience.
The next day, Cheng Enni and her family came out of the stall, and there were guests waiting in the yurt, and the stove and chairs in the yurt were confiscated, but only locked with iron chains.
Seeing Cheng Enni and them coming, the waiting workers rushed to the stove and asked them to hurry up and make a stove, and they rushed to eat a hot meal before the shift and then went to work.
"Immediately change the coal, you stand a little away, the fire is big, don't burn you." Hu Shuiying hurriedly poured the stove, while Cheng Enni put the sorted vegetables on the shelf.
The female employee who got up followed Cheng Enni and looked at it carefully, and finally said, "You guys are really clean." ”
She looked at it carefully, there was no yellow leaf rotten, it should be freshly picked and washed, it looked very fresh, and the vegetable leaves were fresh.
"That's for sure, you have to eat comfortably and eat at ease." Cheng Enni said with a smile, but she couldn't laugh when she turned her head.
Yao Meihua was frowning and opened the curtain to come in.
