Yang Zheng hugged a jar of hot sauce and left satisfied.

Du Yuniang touched the silver in her hand, and her heart was quite uncomfortable.

Yang Zheng is her benefactor, and she is willing to do anything for him if she can. He loves noodles and spicy food, and Du Yuniang knows all this.

Yang Zheng wants hot sauce, she can make hundreds of jars and thousands of jars for him, but she doesn't want his money.

But now, it is impossible not to.

Du Yuniang turned around and gave the silver to Liu.

Liu felt weird, thinking what had happened in the past two days, the people in the noodle restaurant were very strange, either they wanted to buy pickle recipes or hot sauce.

"Yu Niang, there aren't many hot sauces at home, why don't you make more?"

Du Yuniang didn't raise her head, but said, "You have to do it, and you have to make some pickles!" Wait until the vegetables come down this fall. ”

Speaking of this, Liu sighed, "There is no vegetable garden at home, and I am afraid that I will have to spend money to buy this dish." Every now and then, Liu couldn't help but sigh a few words, it's better to be in the countryside.

Du Yuniang had a vague idea in her heart.

"Mother, what should we do with our land?" The Liu family has five acres of land, which was given by the Liu family as a dowry when they got married, in addition. When they separated, they got another ten acres, so they now have exactly fifteen acres of land in their hands!

Seeing that spring is about to begin, the matter of farming should also be opened, and a good land must not be left barren, which will be punished by God.

"Why don't we give up the land?" Du Yuniang discussed with Liu, "You see, if spring begins, you have to plow the land, you have to plow, you have to plow, you have to grow, and you have to grow in the ground every day." If my dad and my brother go farming, what will happen to the business in the noodle shop? It's just the two of us, and it's definitely going to be too busy. And they don't have a place to live, it's too hard to go back and forth. ”

has already separated, and the second room person has that attitude, so he will definitely not be able to go back to the old house to live.

Liu was stunned.

"It's better to persuade my father to give up the land and find an honest tenant who is willing to work, and only collect forty percent of the rent, and the grain is almost enough for us to eat."

Liu nodded while thinking, there is no need to do labor, no wind and sun, and no need to delay the business of the noodle restaurant. They don't need to produce seeds, nor do they need to hoe or fertilize, which saves a lot of effort.

Forty percent of the rent, which is also a lot.

Liu is a good person and will not be too harsh on tenants.

"I'm afraid your father won't agree."

Du Yuniang said: "The noodle restaurant business is so good, my father is willing to give up?" The land is still ours, but there is less food and less hardship. He'll figure it out. ”

Liu nodded, and learned Du Yuniang's words from Du Heqing that night.

Du Heqing thought about it again and again, and felt that his daughter's words were reasonable.

The business in the store is good, he can't leave, and his son has not yet left the school, but he has already done the work in the field. In the future, he is going to open a shop and live.

Du Heqing was very satisfied with his current life, so he agreed to give up the land.

Liu didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

Du Yuniang said: "Who doesn't want to live a good life? Although the store is also busy, it is not as hard as farming. If my father is reluctant to live in the countryside, we will buy a small Zhuangzi in the future, with two or three hundred acres of land, and raise a flock of chickens and ducks, and go to Zhuangzi when we are free, and also find the fun of the peasant family. ”

It's amazing, two or three hundred acres of land, and the tone is very big!

Liu was amused by her words.

In a blink of an eye, the first month of the new year came out.

On the day of the beginning of spring, you have to eat spring cakes. Because it is the beginning of spring, every household closes early, and the Dujia noodle restaurant is also closed.

Du Yuniang put the baked spring cakes in the cage drawer, and then began to stir-fry, the spring cakes should be cabbage, you can roll shredded potatoes, bean sprouts vermicelli, or shredded meat.

Now the weather is still cold, and the bean sprouts are not good, but Du Yuniang also fried some. Because Huzi loves to eat vermicelli, he puts a lot of vermicelli.

After frying the bean sprouts and shredded potatoes, she made another shredded pork sauce and sweet noodle sauce, which tasted unique.

Tian was still breastfeeding the child, and she couldn't eat anything too salty for the time being, so Du Yuniang fried a separate one for her with less salt.

Last time, the Yuan family and Tian Laohan came to make trouble, and it was true that the Tian family was very angry. Later, Du Yuniang persuaded her, and she opened her heart knot, and her mood slowly stabilized.

Her mother doesn't want to see her well, she wants to live a good life, and when she gives birth to a daughter in the future, she must love and care for her like a jewel, and make up for what she lacks on her daughter.

Tian didn't say this to others, but when he couldn't sleep at night, he told Du Ankang twice.

Du Ankang felt sorry for her, so he naturally relied on her, and said: "My daughter, of course, I have to feel distressed." ”

In short, Tian left everything before behind, she only told herself that if she married into the Du family, she was a member of the Du family, and in the future, she just had to live a good life, honor the elderly, take care of the children, and everything else had nothing to do with her.

Du Yuniang fried the dishes and ate them.

Although Tian's is out of confinement, the soup still has to be drunk, Du Yuniang made pork ribs and yam soup, only put a little salt, and the taste is also very good. Because it was a cake, Du Yuniang made radish soup again, put a little dried red pepper, and gave it to everyone to drink.

Tian drank the pork rib soup, and his heart was so warm. The whole family is good to her, and her sister-in-law is getting better and better for her.

It is rare for a family to sit down and eat spring cakes, and the atmosphere is very warm.

"Sister, shouldn't you find me a school in a few days!" Huzi is in a hurry to go to school, and after the New Year, he has been looking forward to this!

Du Yuniang nodded, "Don't worry, I remember this!" In the past two days, I will take the time to inquire and see whose school is suitable for you. ”

Huzi was happy and picked up the bowl to drink the soup.

Du Yuniang talked about something else.

"Business in the noodle shop is good, I wonder if I can get something else to sell! With these kinds of noodles, regular customers may have enough to eat. Moreover, after the New Year, everyone is going to move around, and those who are in business are willing to prepare some dry food when they rest. We didn't do well with this piece, and I couldn't take the noodles away, so I wondered if I could also make some steamed buns and sell pancakes, so that there would be more people buying things. ”

Li said: "Yu Niang's proposal is good, I think it's okay." ”

Liu asked, "Won't it be too hard?" ”

Du Yuniang swallowed the food in her mouth before saying, "No, the eldest brother already knows how to make noodles, and I'll take care of the rest!" I think he'll be working in the stove in the future, and if his father is too busy, he'll talk about it. ”

Du Heqing nodded, "I'm okay here, I really can't let your mother help me!" Learning a craft is a serious business. ”

And so it was settled.

After dinner, Du Yuniang and Du Ankang studied what kind of food to sell in the store.

"The variety of noodles should also be increased, so I think it is better to add fried noodles. How about fried noodles with meat, add shredded meat, add sauce, suitable for people with heavy tastes, there is oil and water, the amount should be sufficient, and it is not difficult to sell a bowl for ten cents. ”

Du Ankang nodded, he had eaten the fried noodles made by Du Yuniang, the taste was very good, and it was definitely popular.

"What can you sell for food that you can take?" The shadows of several foods flashed in front of Du Yuniang's eyes, steamed buns, steamed buns, flatbreads, pancakes, each of which could be packaged as dry food.

But the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and stuffed food is easy to spoil. And the steamed buns that have cooled down are particularly unpalatable.

It's also about selling dry food, and if your food tastes better and is easier to store, then it will be a big hit.

Du Ankang didn't have a clue, he didn't understand these things very well.

Du Yuniang thought for several times, and then her eyes suddenly lit up.

She thought of it!

Make meat buns.

Du Yuniang's skills in making meat buns are still good.

Du Ankang had never heard of meat buns, because they were food in the Northwest.

"What does it look like?"

"It's like a pancake with meat."

Du Ankang thought about it and asked, "Meat will also be bad, right?" If the weather gets hot, the meat will go spoiled in the evening. ”

"So I'm going to improve it and replace the ordinary marinated pork stuffing with bacon." The bacon is not easy to spoil, and it tastes good when cut into small slices or pieces and put in the pancakes. It may be a little worse in taste, but it solves the disadvantage that the food is easy to spoil.

However, bacon is not easy to make.

Du Yuniang remembered the smoker made by her master in her previous life, and with it, it was fast and good to make bacon.

She couldn't wait to grab the pen and paper and draw the drawings.

Du Ankang watched from the sidelines.

"First build a high platform like this in the courtyard, and build it with bricks and earth on three sides, and leave a few gaps in the inside, and then ask the blacksmith to make these shelves, which are empty in the middle, and put them in the furnace. At the bottom is the stove eye, which is used to put firewood, and it is necessary to keep burning the fire to ensure that the smoke reaches a certain depth, and the smoked bacon will be fragrant. ”

Du Yuniang explained to Du Ankang, and he almost understood.

"Okay, fortunately, although our yard is small, there is also a place. You don't need to find someone else for this work, my father and I can do it, and you will watch from the sidelines when the time comes. ”

Du Yuniang nodded in response.

The brother and sister made bread wontons, added braised soup, stewed stewed goods, and when they tossed to the child, they went back to rest.

The next day, Du Yuniang asked Du Ankang to go out and make a sign, write the three words of fried noodles with meat, and hang them behind the counter.

The town was bustling with activity, and there were noticeably more people moving around.

Regular customers heard that Dujia Noodle Restaurant had meat fried noodles, and they all said they wanted to try it.

Ten cents is not a small amount for some people, but it is not too much for others.

The meat fried noodles sell well, the oil is very good, each noodle is covered with sauce, there is a lot of shredded meat, and it is very affordable.

On this day, nearly 30 servings of fried pork noodles alone were sold.

Liu's family was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, this is all money!

The cost of a bowl of fried noodles with meat is only about five cents, and a bowl of noodles earns twice as much.

When he was not busy in the afternoon, Du Heqing went to buy some bricks, and according to Du Yuniang's request, cut off the wheat stalks and lived in the mud, and the muddy water was mixed with rice soup.

The structure of the smoker is not complicated, and it is simple to do, and Du Heqing took half a day to build it.

Du Yuniang checked again and again and determined that she was qualified.

She thinks her father is very powerful, even a mason! In the future, as long as the world is good, I am not afraid of running out of food!

The next day, Du Heqing went to the south of the city, found a blacksmith with a good reputation, showed him the drawings, and asked him if he might do it.

The shelf for hanging bacon had no technical content at all, and the blacksmith looked at it twice and said that it could be done, and that it would be done.

The two negotiated the price, and Du Heqing paid the deposit and agreed to take it after three days.

Three days later, the Du family's smoke stove was ready.

Dry for a few more days and the stove will be ready to use.

Du Yuniang asked Du Ankang to buy rib meat, some fat and some thin, and it was delicious when it was smoked and dried.

When Du Ankang bought the meat back, Du Yuniang had already made the sauce for the marinated bacon.

"Spread the sauce evenly on the meat, sprinkle it with salt, marinate it for a few days, and then hang it in the stove, and you're good to go."

"How long will it take?"

"One day and one night! Then take it out to dry, and when the water is drained, it's good to go! Du Yuniang whispered to Li, "This method was invented by my master, she can do anything, and no matter what season it is, the smoked bacon is particularly delicious." ”

The Li family doesn't understand this, and there is no custom of making bacon in Taoxi Town and Xinghuagou.

When the meat is marinated, Du Yuniang hangs them all in the stove, and then turns on the stove below and burns the firewood that is put on once a day. When the surface of the meat turned dark, Du Yuniang pressed the elasticity of the meat with her fingers, and then said, "Okay, hang it out." ”

In the courtyard of the Du family, many poles were erected, tied to both ends of the poles with hemp rope, and countless knots were tied in the middle. The smoked meat was hung up directly, and after a month of drying and drying, the bacon was finally ready.

At night you have to come to the house, and then wild cats will come and steal food.

Li couldn't help but mutter: "It's really hard! ”

"Not really!" Liu Shi also agreed, and asked: "This meat costs labor and materials, how much does it cost to make a meat clip?" ”

Du Yuniang cut the bacon into small pieces and distributed them to the family to taste.

The taste is surprisingly good!

"It's really slow work!" Lee exclaimed.

"The meat is the size of a palm, and I can't clip a few pieces of meat, this meat is chopped and sandwiched in, and there are three or four slices that are about the same." Du Ankang's words were carefully studied.

Du Yuniang nodded, very appreciative, "Five cents is about the same." "Dry food is too expensive and not easy to sell. Steamed buns have one article, and steamed buns have two or three words.

The meat bun was originally not valuable, but it was bacon added to it, and the grade was different.

Now Du Ankang followed Du Yuniang to make noodles in the stove room and started to do it. Liu was outside to help Du Heqing Zhang Luo's business.

"It's bacon here, it's rare here, and it's not easy to break, and it's hot for two more days, and you can put it away."

The people who buy meat and steamed buns are all people who come and go to run business, and no one is short of these money, so it is not too expensive, and when they leave, they all take ten or twenty with them.

Du Yuniang only makes 200 of these meat buns a day, and there will be no more when they are sold.

A lot of people came here, but they were already sold out.

After coming and going, the reputation of Dujia Noodle Restaurant's meat sandwich bun has become even greater.

Some people directly asked whether bacon was sold.

Du Yuniang refused without thinking about it.

What are you kidding, what they sell is food, dry food, meat buns, not bacon!

As a result, Yang Zheng appeared again and asked her: "Does your bacon sell it?" ”
