058 No fire in the examination room Instant pastry
Jiangzhou is still very young, and it is obviously the first time to participate in the township examination, although he has not been to the Tongzhou Mansion Gongyuan, but he has also roughly heard the rules and conditions inside.
There are thousands of houses in the tribute courtyard, wide and not allowed to sit down, the eaves are aligned with the eyebrows, normal men must be rickety to sleep, like Jiangzhou, who has a long posture, I am afraid that only the head is facing north against the wall, and the feet are facing south to stretch out the number room.
Fortunately, the weather is hot and no one can freeze.
This is a disadvantage of objectivity, and Luo Shi cannot change it by one person, unless the Gongyuan is expanded, and the number house is torn down and restarted, but this is obviously unrealistic.
In addition to the cramped and narrow house, there is another point, it is in disrepair, it rains next to the wind, it is ugly and dilapidated, it often rains heavily outside, and it rains lightly inside.
"Can't you bring an umbrella?" Rashi asked.
Jiang Zhou took a sip of tea and said with a light smile: "The oil umbrella is held in his hand, the pen is weak, and the words are not as beautiful as usual, but there is no way to do it."
She pondered for a moment, remembered the canopy outside the modern old-fashioned glass window, and drew the gourd in the same way:
"This is simple, get a square oilcloth, sew bamboo sticks at both ends, roll it up and bring it into the examination room, and then support it on both sides of the number room, and set up a small canopy to block the rain on rainy days and shade the sun on sunny days, isn't it both?"
Jiangzhou put down the cup, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's really dark under the lamp, the more obvious the solution, no one has thought about it for a long time, this rain gear is very good, but it is like its own trumpet top, not afraid of wind and rain."
Successfully solving a difficult matter, Luo Shi's heart is happy, which means that there is money to be made again.
"Besides, what's inconvenient?"
Jiang Zhou thought for a while and shook his head: "It's nothing, it's hypocritical to talk about, it's nothing more than unsatisfactory food, no fire is allowed to cook in the examination room, only bring some dry food steamed buns in, get some hot water, and mix it to make up your fill."
"Is this hypocrisy? Eating is the most important thing in life! Luo Shi put down the tea bowl and said in a positive way.
Jiang Zhou looked at her seriously, and couldn't help laughing:
"The family is well-off, naturally you can bring enough exquisite pastries, mixed snacks, you can't eat hot rice for three days, but you won't worry, but it's just some poor candidates, every day steamed buns are swallowed, a little bland and tasteless."
frowned, Luo Shi supported his cheeks on the tea table, meditated hard, and muttered to himself: No fire...... It can also facilitate food and drink......
Yes! Pregnant!
Isn't it said that hot water is provided in the examination room, and the modern instant noodles are improved, and the candidates are asked to bring them to the Tribute Academy?
When the meal is in the mouth, take it out and brew it with hot water, squeeze the sauce and side dishes, and eat a delicious meal, ensure that it has a delicious taste, hot soup and hot rice, which is naturally warmer than dry cakes and big steamed buns.
It's just the method of dough, she still has to study it, and it doesn't have to be really like modern instant pastry - because it requires long-term storage, the dough is drained at ultra-low temperature, and preservatives are added, and she only needs to have a shelf life of ten days and half a month.
After drinking a cup of tea, the shop of the tea noodle stall is about to close the stall, Luo Shi patted the table and said to Jiangzhou:
"I probably have an idea, but I'll have to go back and try it, and if it does, I'll show you as soon as I can."
"Okay, then I'll wait for good news here"
Jiangzhou is elegant, smiling and smiling, and smiling and handsome.
He made some money, and first sent Luo Shi back to Dongcheng Xiaosihe before turning around and walking to the teahouse.

When she got up the next morning, she was busy in the stove.
She chose the best filo noodles to roll out the dough because there was less wheat bran and was closer to the flour that modern machines rolled out.
Stir, rest, stir, and wake again, three or five times, until the dough cake is smooth and elastic, she rolls it into a pancake shape and cuts it into thin noodles with a knife.
Place the noodles in a round funnel, carefully press them into the shape of a round cake, then blanch them in boiling water until they are soft, and then put them in a separate pan to fry the dough.
On the first attempt, she failed, because the oil temperature was too high, and the frying time was too long, and the whole dough fell apart.
After learning from the experience, the radish re-cooked, this time controlling the oil temperature and time, and when the dough was slowly fried until golden brown, the whole cake was fished out.
Lay on a cutting board and drain the oil.
The previous steps are similar to the modern method, that is, the next low-temperature pumping and quick freezing, which is completely impossible to do here, is a problem.
She thought about it carefully, it was nothing more than to dry up the water a little more, why not take it to the baking kiln and try it?
Guangheju has an oven, roast duck and roast goose are hung in it on weekdays, burning fruit charcoal, it is a century-old furnace. Luo Shi made a few more dough cakes, carried them in a food basket, and went to Guanghe Ju to borrow the stove.
Because Uncle Liang used to be a frequent visitor to Guangheju, he came and went, and the shopkeeper there was also familiar with Luo Shi, and occasionally there were spicy dishes directly supplied here, so the shopkeeper agreed very quickly to borrow the stove.
After sitting by the stove for an afternoon and ruining seven or eight dough cakes, Rassi finally mastered the heat and time, and after looking at the finished product that was almost exactly the same as the modern instant pastry, she let out a long sigh of relief.
No preservatives, healthy and nutritious!
Next, you have to make ingredients of various flavors, which can be made by the workshop to make some more, which is very convenient - braised beef, beef brisket, diced chicken with mushrooms, shredded pork with pickled cabbage, roasted pork with bamboo shoots, pickled pepper, sour and spicy, spicy and so on.
With the foundation laid in the early stage of the snack shop, these side dishes are ready-made.
She was so happy that she even thought about it, the name of this instant noodle was "Master Luo"!
In the evening, when Jiangzhou was invited, Tuk Tuk knocked on the door of her residence, and she trotted open the door and invited people into the house.
Jiang Zhou walked to the dining room and saw twenty bowls of noodles on the table, and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
Luo Shi smiled, made an invitation, and said with a smile: "Every noodle is a taste, you can choose"
To show him, she boiled a bowl of dough with boiling water, covered the bowl with tin foil, and about a cup of tea, lifted the paper, and the noodles inside became soft and scattered, wafting out a hot aroma.
Pour the sauce into the noodle bowl and stir it open, and the aroma is overflowing, and the mouth is full of gluttony.
"This is my own braised pork foam sauce, can you taste the taste, what is the difference between it and the hot noodles blanched outside?"
Jiang Zhou saw her movements, and was surprised, but the smell was very fragrant, took the chopsticks she handed over, rolled up the noodles and ate a bite, nodded and said:
"Better than what is sold"
With his affirmation, Luo Shi was happy on his face, his eyes were huo, and he said with a smile:
"Great, this instant noodle is suitable for students who are rushing to take the exam, you don't have to make a fire, as long as the hot water is brewed for a while, you can eat it quickly with sauce, it is easy to operate, it will not delay the progress of the exam, and it is not a violation of the regulations, every meal is hot, is it not much better than steamed buns or cold pastries?"
"It's hot in August, and some people bring their own vegetables to steam rice, but unfortunately most of the dishes will be spoiled after the night, I see that your method is novel, and it is also a dough cake, I don't know how long it can be stored?"
Luo Shi signaled him to rest assured: "There are three autumn seasons, one test is three days, my bread and sauce, at least there is a half-month shelf life, enough to deal with the autumn season."
"Half a moon? That's a good thing. Not only in the autumn season, but all travelers who are in a hurry are also willing to bring this kind of ready-to-eat dry food, congratulations, and it is another way to make money."
Hearing Jiang Zhou say this, Luo Shi suddenly opened up and slapped his palm:
"Oh, why didn't I think of it, let's take out the gatehouse of the guild hall in half a room, and sell this instant noodle to the candidates and to the travelers who are in a hurry. Your guild hall will be idle after the autumn season, so why don't you also use it as a post station, and provide it at a low price to travelers who can't afford to live in an inn, right? ”
Jiang Zhou Wen smiled and nodded: "That's what you mean, just do what the girl says."
Seeing that he had only tasted one bowl, Luo Shi urged: "You can try something else, I don't know your taste, these twenty kinds are indeed too many, I want to control them within five kinds, so that it is convenient for the workshop to make them in batches."
Jiang Zhou glanced at it with chopsticks, and the suggestions put forward were very pertinent:
"Spicy is not suitable, although there are inevitably spicy candidates among the candidates, but after all, in the exam, the taste is too heavy, you will drink more water, go to the toilet more, and affect the answer sheet; The bamboo shoots are dry for some time, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to find them in autumn and winter; Shrimp are expensive, and they are not easy to preserve, so they are not suitable, and you can choose five kinds of shrimp for the rest."
Luo Shi glanced at the table and took out five bowls alone: "Braised beef, diced mushroom chicken, shredded pickled vegetables and pork, pickled pepper brisket, and sauce-flavored meat foam, just these five things?" ”
Jiangzhou also had an idea, which was also inspired by Luo Shi, he said:
"Yesterday you said that the top of the tarpaulin, but also for the benefit of the candidates of a good thing, why not simply make an exam box, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, wax top, food with the whole in a box, but also convenient for candidates to buy by themselves, in the past the market of things are uneven, more careless will miss a few, affecting the autumn exam"
"yes, yes! This is a good idea, integrate resources, sell the item set for the autumn exam, how much money can you sell for the top tarpaulin? If it is only in my family's examination box, and the aspects are meticulous and thoughtful, wouldn't it attract people to come to buy? It's a great idea to save time and effort! ”
Luo Shi was excited, and she thought of it and was ready to do it:
"I'll go to Niu Qian tomorrow to order a wooden box, be sure to set up a few small drawers, separate the pen and ink for eating, and sell it in the hall, by the way, borrow your teahouse to publicize it"
"The teahouse as usual, will set up a lottery head note, this year's solution of the popular will hang a small sign, there are betting odds, if you can invite the first ten to stay in the hall, with your test box, I believe that the candidates will imitate one after another, in short supply"
Luo Shi smiled and asked, "And this kind of entertainment?" So you're the number one? Don't know what the odds are? ”
Jiang Zhou chuckled lightly and said helplessly: "I can only say that you can't make much money by betting on me."
"Then you can make a lot of money by betting on others?"
"Bet on someone else and you will lose all your money"
He has a golden voice and a jade vibrating, clear as a chime, a smile in his eyes, and his heart is outside the peach source, laughing at the spring breeze.
