Chapter 33: The Pancake Stand

Shijia industry and commerce, although from ancient times to the present, merchants are ranked last. But in the Great Song Dynasty, this Shang was different from other dynasties. The economy is prosperous, all industries are thriving, and there are few people who do not do business in the Great Song Dynasty.

From the princes and nobles, down to the peddlers and pawns, the big and small, the bright and dark businesses have created a prosperous and prosperous Song Dynasty, which is charming and different......

I heard that there are many merchants in Bianliang City, Tokyo, not to mention businessmen from all over the country, and even foreign business travelers who have traveled from far away to the ocean.

Listening to Liu Yuan tell some stories that I don't know whether they are true or false, Lin Zhenniang is very yearning. However, no matter how prosperous Bianliang City is, it is always far away, and all her attention is now only focused on the small county town of Dingtao.

There are many shops in Dingtao City, there are many stalls, this year, there is no city management, as long as the tax official comes to pay the daily tax silver, you can set up a stall. However, there is one more thing to set up a stall in the tile shop, that is, the stall fee.

Although the streets in the tile shop are ownerless, it is customary to agree that the stall will be placed in front of the hook fence to pay the stall fee to the hook fence boss. It's not much, but once the stalls here are settled, most of them will be set up in the same place in the future.

Lin Zhenniang went out of the stall on the first day, but she didn't know this rule. Turning around in the tile, she didn't know where to let Dongbo help her put the burden. Fortunately, the owner of the wonton seller was a warm-hearted person, and seeing that Lin Zhenniang's burden was not big, he beckoned directly: "Little lady, you are on my left, anyway, look at you like this, this food is bought and left, and it will not delay my business." ”

As he spoke, he shouted to the little brother who sold buns on the left: "Little Liuzi, go over there, make a place for this little lady, it's all mixed food, little lady, everyone bear with me......"

The little six smiled and didn't say anything, and really pulled the table with the bun cage drawer to the side.

Lin Zhenniang thanked her one after another, and the fat woman who was cutting braised meat across the street had already shouted at the top of her voice: "Little lady, don't be polite, I think I will thank them!" If it weren't for the fact that your little girl's family looks smart, you would be so happy to give you a place when they were so happy? Be careful! There aren't many good things for the men who come and go in this tile......"

The wonton stall owner frowned, "Du Sanniang, what are you talking about in front of the little girl?" Carefully frightened this child......" As he spoke, he turned his head to Lin Dong and smiled: "Brother, don't worry, your daughter, I, Li Laosi, will help you watch it, and you will not let her be bullied." ”

Lin Dong was stunned, and was about to explain, but Lin Zhenniang had already smiled and said, "Thank you Uncle Li!" I knew my uncle was a nice guy – and the wontons were delicious......"

Li Siyi, the owner of the wonton stall, was stunned, "The little lady has eaten my wontons?" Oh, I remember, I didn't eat my ravioli - no wonder I was inquiring about it that day......"

"I just want to do something to make a living, so I can help the family ......" Lin Zhenniang smiled, went over to help unload the burden, and set up the stall with Lin Dong. I smiled and chatted with the neighbors who didn't have a business yet.

Li Si, the owner of this wonton stall, also spoke that day and knew that this was a warm-hearted person. And Wu Xiaoliu on the left is a young man who doesn't like to talk. Looking at his hair tied on his head and wrapped in a square cloth, he thought that he had passed the age of the crown, but his stature was not very high, and he was extremely shy, like a young man.

On the opposite street is Du Sanniang, who sells braised meat; Further to the left, there is a roasted frog seller, and I heard that in the winter, when there are no frogs, they sell fried chestnuts instead......

This half of the street is all selling food, although Lin Zhenniang has just arrived and has not yet recognized it completely, but most of them know what their surname is and what they sell.

At this time, it was still early, and most of the permanent residents in the tile shop had not gotten up, so naturally they had no business. Lin Zhenniang saw Dongbo cat sitting on the pony with her waist, she was really sulky, so she simply persuaded him to go back first.

Lin Dong hesitated at first, and then saw that Lin Zhenniang was determined that she could be busy alone, so she really went back, and when she left, she told Lin Zhenniang to wait for him, he would come to pick him up, and don't go back with the burden by yourself.

Lin Zhenniang was just laughing, but when she saw that Lin Dong was waiting for her to answer, she responded crisply. smiled and sent Lin Dong away.

When he turned around and saw Uncle Li's curious eyes, he explained lightly: "That's my uncle, who specially sent me here - my father, my father, he died of illness last month......

"Ah......" Li Si just made a sound, so he hurriedly covered his mouth and said sneeringly: "Zhenniang, don't be too anxious, this day will always get better and better......"

Knowing that Li Si misunderstood her because she couldn't live at home and came out to set up a stall, Lin Zhenniang smiled and didn't explain.

Wu Xiaoliu next to him was silent, but opened the cage drawer and took a hot vegetarian bun, "Eat, come out in the morning, I think I haven't eaten yet." ”

Lin Zhenniang was stunned, still hesitating, Li Si had already persuaded: "Come on, the little sixth son is also miserable, there was no father the year before last, and the family was blinded by the old lady......"

Lin Zhenniang looked at Wu Xiaoliu, who was silent, and didn't know what to say for a while, so she just took the bun and thanked her.

Although Wu Xiaoliu doesn't like to talk, his skills are good. Lin Zhenniang took a bite, only to feel that the skin was soft and fragrant, although this bun had no meat, it had a fragrance, and-

"Little Sixth Brother, do you have jelly in the stuffing of this bun?"

Wu Xiaoliu looked up in surprise and looked at Lin Zhenniang, his eyes were a little weird. Lin Zhenniang didn't notice it, and tasted it while eating, and added: "If you put some shrimp skin, the filling of this dumpling will be even fresher." ”

"What's wrong?" Looking at Wu Xiaoliu who was staring at her, Lin Zhenniang stammered and subconsciously turned her head to look. Li Si had already turned around to greet the guests, and she couldn't figure out if she had said something wrong for a while, so she could only look at Wu Xiaoliu and blink.

Wu Xiaoliu looked at her stunned appearance, and laughed, "You're right, it's still a sister of the Lin family, even if you taste how someone eats in the future, don't say it like that-it's not good......"

Lin Zhenniang said "Huh", and it took a while to react.

In my previous life, not to mention chef schools everywhere, recipes could be bought everywhere, even on the Internet, there were many websites that specialized in teaching how to cook. Therefore, she didn't think there was anything unusual about this diet formula or anything. However, in the Great Song Dynasty, where information is not developed, the recipe of each diet is an exclusive secret, and I don't want to spread it at all, right? Perhaps, she exchanged those dim sum recipes for Liu Yuan's dry shares, and Liu Yuan deliberately locked them up with a small box!

Thinking about it this way, Lin Zhenniang is clever.

I wanted to say something more, but when she saw that the bun stall was coming, she had no choice but to shut it up and turn back to her stall.

It was nearly noon, and there were more people in the tiles. However, it was breakfast at this time. People come and go, and most of the people who go are familiar and accustomed to eating stalls. Although some people looked at Lin Zhenniang and looked at the iron pan in front of her, no one inquired about the price.

Lin Zhenniang stood behind the stall, looking at the people passing in front of the stall, and then at the stalls on the left and right with hot business, and panicked. coughed twice, she opened her mouth and shouted: "Pancakes, pancakes, Caozhou pancakes are ......" At this time, Shandong is still called Caozhou, and this Shandong pancake will naturally become Caozhou pancake.

She only shouted twice, and Du Sanniang on the opposite street had already shouted loudly: "Braised pork, braised pork, fresh braised pork!" Smoked leg of lamb, beef in sauce, marinated black-skinned and white-flowered pig's head, crispy ears, fragrant five flowers, one bite of fragrant teethβ€”β€”"

The voice was loud, and it seemed to be very suppressive, and it actually suppressed Lin Zhenniang's cries in an instant.

Li Si laughed a few times, turned his head and said to Lin Zhenniang, who was stunned: "On this street, in terms of singing and selling kung fu, no one can compare with this big voice, Zhenniang, you still don't want to compare this with her......"

She'sβ€”isn't it to compare!

Standing stupidly, seeing Du Sanniang on the other side looking up, it seemed that she was smiling at her deliberately, Lin Zhenniang only felt bitter on the tip of her tongue.

This half of the street, she is the only one who hasn't opened yet! This is the first day of trading, you can't do that.

Pursing the corners of her mouth, Lin Zhenniang bent down to open the fire door. As soon as the wind swept into the furnace, the honeycomb coal that had already been built in the furnace immediately burst into flames.

Lin Zhenniang didn't say a word, and laid out the same materials in the other basket. He stretched out his hand and shook it again, tried to see that the temperature was right, and then brushed a thin layer of oil on the boil with a small brush.

Peanut oil is best used to make cakes, and the baked cakes are bright and beautiful.

Take out the small bucket with the batter, scoop the batter with a spoon, spread it on the pan, and gently turn and scrape it with a bamboo piece to make the batter more even.

The fire was high, but in an instant, the batter was slightly dry. I took the egg from the small basket, and with a neat touch, I had already beaten the egg on the dough with one hand. With the other hand, the other one turned and scraped as usual, and at the same time, threw the eggshell in his hand into the small basket sketched. Grab a shovel made of iron and shovel it against the iron......

Although the sauce has not been smeared and no other seasonings have been put in, the fragrant egg fragrance has drifted out. Some of the people who stopped at the stalls next to them turned their heads to look.

Lin Zhenniang didn't seem to notice that someone was looking at her at all, opened the sauce jar, smeared the sauce with a brush, sprinkled green onions, coriander, and crispy cakes, shoveled up a pancake with both hands, and cut a knife in it.

Smell it yourself, and feel the fragrance. Hooking the corners of her mouth, she wrapped the pancake divided into two halves with the oil paper she had prepared a long time ago, and handed it over, "Little Sixth Brother, Fourth Uncle Li, please eat!" Thank you for taking care of me. ”

I'm busy, how can I have time to eat this. Li Si responded with a smile, took the pancakes, and put them in front of the wonton stove.

On the other end, Wu Xiaoliu took the pancake and waited for the guest in front of him to turn around before stuffing it into his mouth. After taking a bite, Wu Xiaoliu raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Lin Zhenniang, who was staring at him, and praised with a smile, "It's delicious!" What kind of pancakes are delicious......

"It's delicious!" Li Sigang brought a bowl of wontons to the table, straightened up and looked back and smiled: "I haven't ...... yet Yikes! You stinky boy, you actually steal my pancakes! ”

Mo Xiaosan struggled to avoid Li Si's hand, stretched his neck and shouted, "What is this?" I'll have another one - well, it's delicious, I haven't tasted it before......"
