Chapter 585: Ready to Open
When the sedan chair arrived at Mao'er Hutong, Du Yuniang had already fallen asleep on Yang Zheng's shoulder.
Yang Zheng's eyes were slightly dark, thinking that his little daughter-in-law was working too hard, and it seemed that he couldn't trouble her tonight. Thinking about it and feeling unwilling, the heavens and men fought for a while, and finally gave up the idea of eating meat and decided to let Du Yuniang sleep well.
The sedan chair swayed to Mao'er Hutong, Jiang led the sedan chair man inside, and when he came to the end of the alley, the sedan chair stopped steadily.
Jiang opened the door.
Yang Zheng took Du Yuniang out of the sedan chair, as if she was holding some treasure.
The palanquin's eyes were about to fall off, and he quickly turned his head away, not daring to look.
That man is dressed in an ordinary way, but he has a lot of momentum! Looking at his body, I'm afraid that one person can defeat four or five. Besides, although this hat alley is not a rich and expensive territory, it is not something that ordinary people can afford, if you don't open your eyes and offend people, don't think about doing business well in the future.
At this time, Yang Zheng had already carried Du Yuniang into the courtyard.
Jiang felt that the palanquin man had eyes, and he was very satisfied, so he paid the money and gave a few extra rewards.
The palanquin man thanked him and left.
Jiang entered the courtyard and turned around to lock the gate.
That night, Yang Zheng was very conscious and always very honest. Du Yuniang slept in a dark night, and she didn't know how she escaped.
The next day, Du Yuniang woke up early, the opening of the shop was a big deal, she put things on hold in her heart, although she was very tired, but she still woke up on time.
The moment she opened her eyes, Du Yuniang was a little confused, and then remembered that she seemed to have fallen asleep in a sedan chair yesterday and never woke up.
She tilted her head to look at Yang Zheng, "How did I come back yesterday?" ”
Yang Zheng leaned over and pecked her red lips lightly, "I came back with you, and I slept very solidly, like a little pig." ”
Du Yuniang wrinkled her nose, thinking that you are a pig! However, after a good night's sleep, my body was a lot more relaxed.
The most important thing is that practicing martial arts can really strengthen the body, if she had changed before, she would have been tired and lying down a long time ago, but now she just slept and was alive again.
"It's a big day, get up early and clean up." Du Yuniang sat up all of a sudden, and Yang Zheng didn't dare to drag her back legs, so she also got up to wash.
Because today is the opening day of Qianwei Zhai, Yang Zheng made an exception and did not box, but cleaned up and prepared for breakfast. As soon as the couple sat down at the dinner table, they heard a knock on the door.
Du Yuniang was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "It must be my father and mother who are here!" "When she was tidying up the shop before, she used to ask people to deliver letters to her home, but then the opening day changed, and she asked them to deliver it again.
So early, apart from her mother's family, Du Yuniang couldn't think of anyone else.
Jiang welcomed Du Heqing and Liu in, and Xiao Liuzi came with him.
"Dad, mother!"
Du Yuniang and Yang Zheng stood side by side at the door of the upper room, the man was tall and handsome, the woman was petite and pretty, the two of them stood together, inexplicably harmonious, like a pleasing picture, people would only think of the four words golden boy and jade girl.
Liu was carrying a small burden, Du Heqing was holding his sixth son, Yang Zheng hurriedly greeted him, and Du Yuniang also followed.
"Why are you here so early, haven't you eaten?"
Liu Shi was still so refreshing, and said directly: "We have eaten, have you eaten?" ”
"Why is it so early, I see that Liuzi is still drowsy!"
The mother and daughter walked to the upper room affectionately, talking as they walked.
Du Heqing asked Yang Zheng, "When did you come back?" ”
"The day before yesterday."
"It's all done?"
Yang Zheng nodded, "It's done!" Rest assured! Father-in-law, how are the preparations on Huzi's side? Du Heqing didn't know the real purpose of Yang Zheng's return to Beijing, thinking that he was just taking advantage of the reputation of the Marquis of Zhenbei.
mentioned his son's study, Du Heqing's eyebrows and eyes were bright, "It's all ready, just waiting for you to send someone to pick it up." Weng and his son-in-law entered the upper room while talking.
When Liu saw breakfast on the table, he said, "You eat a little first, and you'll be busy later!" "Liu feels sorry for his daughter, and he refuses to let her go hungry.
Du Yuniang settled Liu and Du Heqing in the east house, "Dad, mother, you rest here first, wait a while, we will finish eating, let's go to the shop together." ”
"You go and ......" Liu waved his hand, and when Du Yuniang left, he stabbed his man and asked, "Do you see if Yuniang has lost weight?" ”
Du Heqing thought thoughtfully, "It's thin, probably busy with the opening of the shop, tired, right?" ”
This man, I really don't know if it's true or not. Liu glared at him, his eyes on fire.
Du Heqing asked innocently: "What, what am I saying wrong?" "Yang Zheng just came back!
Liu waved his hand irritably, and told her that he didn't understand.
The six sons lay on the kang in the east room and slept very sweetly.
Du Yuniang used a bowl of porridge and ate an omelette, and she couldn't eat it anymore.
Yang Zheng frowned, "Why do you eat so little?" Eat more! As he spoke, he put a few small wontons like ingots for her.
"I just can't eat it!" Du Yuniang was a little nervous, "Brother Yang, let's hurry up, I've been nervous all the time, and I don't have an appetite at all." ”
Yang Zheng didn't force her anymore.
Du Yuniang rinsed her mouth and went to the East House, "Mother, did the sixth son eat in the morning?" ”
Liu said: "After eating, I drank goat's milk in the morning and ate egg custard." It's just that I fell asleep again on the way here. ”
"I'm definitely going to be very busy when it opens today, or you don't go with Liuzi and stay at home!" Du Yuniang said: "With the sixth son, you can't help, there are so many people, you can't take care of the sixth son, and it's not good to bump the child again." ”
Liu hesitated, if she didn't go, then why did she come?
"Mother, why don't you bring your six sons over again in the next morning, I guess it's going to be busy for a day! There are a lot of people in the morning, and the sun is not poisonous at the next day, and when the sixth son finishes sleeping at noon, I will ask Sister-in-law Jiang to pick you up! ”
Liu Shi thought about it, "Okay, then I won't go over to make trouble, I'll take care of your house with Liuzi, and we'll go over when you're not too busy next morning." ”
"Okay, then you can remember, don't open the door to others casually, and don't take the six sons out."
Liu couldn't cry or laugh, "I'm not stupid!" ”
In this way, Du Heqing drove the carriage, took his daughter and son-in-law, Jiang and Xiao Yu'er, and rushed to the shop.
It was still early, and as soon as Du Yuniang entered the hospital, she called Xiaoyu'er to prepare a snack.
The newly made dim sum has a better taste, and the opening must be the first shot, and there can be no mistakes at all.
And today Du Yuniang wants to make some other snacks.
"I'll do the fried peanuts." Fried peanuts, this live sounds light, there is no technical content, but in fact, the heat is very difficult to control. And Du Yuniang has to wrap the peanuts in a salty and sweet batter, so that the fried peanuts have the fragrance of peanuts, as well as a salty and crispy coat mixed with eggs and flour, and the sweet paste is sprinkled with icing, and there is no child who doesn't like to eat.
Du Yuniang thought about it and asked Xiao Yu'er to reconcile the flour first, and prepare to make some chestnut cakes and mung bean cakes.
Jiang Shi helped on the side, and said a little strangely: "Madam, aren't we opening a dim sum shop?" How do you still make fried peanuts? ”
"We're a thousand flavors! Thousands of flavors, as long as it is a snack and food, we sell it. Du Yuniang was busy making peanut coats while replying to Jiang's words.
Xiao Yu'er also nodded, "Mother, my master said it before, have you forgotten?" ”
Jiang glared at her, "There are no rules." "Although it is a master-apprentice relationship, it should also be called Mrs.
Xiao Yu'er grimaced and stopped talking.
Three women were busy in the kitchen.
The kiln has been cooked, and Xiao Yu'er put the chestnut cake and mung bean cake in an iron basin brushed with oil, then covers the lid, and carefully uses an iron hook to fiddle with the charcoal fire under the iron plate to control the heat.
Du Yuniang fried the peanuts and put them in two pots, the peanuts in one of the pots were salty, Du Yuniang took out the sesame five-spice powder that had been prepared long ago and sprinkled it evenly on it. The other pot was filled with sweet peanuts, and Du Yuniang prepared the icing and scattered it on top of the peanuts.
"Brother Yang~" Du Yuniang shouted outside.
Yang Zheng walked over quickly, "Need help?" ”
Du Yuniang pointed to the two basins, "I need you to take them out and turn them upside down." "Freshly fried peanuts, if not cooled in time, are easy to cover soft and lose their crunchy texture! Yang Zheng's strength is great, holding the pot and repeatedly tossing, which can not only make the peanuts cool down quickly, but also make the sesame five-spice powder and frosting more evenly wrapped on the peanuts.
As soon as Yang Zheng heard it, he carried the two big basins to the yard, and according to Du Yuniang's words, he turned upside down. His strength and techniques are very sophisticated, not to mention how obedient those peanuts are, none of them flew out of the basin.
Soon, the bean green cake and chestnut cake were also ready.
Du Yuniang padded a thick rag and pulled the iron plate apart, and a fragrance instantly wafted out.
Du Yuniang carefully used a clip to put the two dim sum on the plate, and then looked at their appearance.
For example, dim sum the size of a chess piece has a burnt yellow surface, and because the filling is different, it looks different in color.
Mung bean cake with a bean-colored filling under the charred puff pastry is the chestnut cake with a brownish-yellow filling.
Du Yuniang brought the dim sum over and gave each of them a piece for them to taste.
I've made this dim sum before, and Xiao Yu'er and Jiang have already tasted it, so they don't need to taste it to know what it tastes like. Yang Zheng and Du Heqing ate it for the first time, and the two of them took a bite of the snack, and their eyes lit up at the same time.
The skin is crispy and very thin, full of filling, fragrant and sweet, but not too sweet and greasy. The taste is soft, and there is the aroma of chestnuts and mung beans, and you can't stop eating one.
"It's delicious!" Xiao Cheng also tasted one, and after eating it, he couldn't help but give Du Yuniang a thumbs up, there is such a dim sum, and he doesn't have to worry about sales.
Du Yuniang asked the two young men in the store to bring the pastries to the front to prepare, and carefully instructed them to be sure to cover the kind of gauze curtain that prevents mosquitoes. If you don't get the hygiene problem right, even if you don't eat bad stomach, the guests will not be willing to spend money on things from you.
The two guys are not very old, one is called Laifu and the other is called Lai'an, both of whom are thirteen or fourteen years old. These two people were not recruited, they were bought by Du Yuniang, and they both signed a death contract.
"Yes, host."
Du Yuniang pointed to the small plate on the side again, and said, "Those are reserved for the two of you, you can taste them first in a while, and when the guests come to the door, you may not have the opportunity to eat." ”
Both guys were very happy.
Half the size, eat the poor man! At their age, they are the age when they have a lot of food, but they are all slaves who have been sold by their families since they were children, and they have not been starved to death, which is already considered lucky, where do they dare to think about such a thing as being full and eating well?
What they never dreamed of was that one day someone would buy them as companions, not only to give them a place to live and give them food, but also to beat and scold them, treating them as if they were family. This made the two people who had never fixed a place to go and went around the bumpy days to be grateful to Yang Zheng and Du Yuniang.
"Thank you, owner."
"Thank you, owner!" The two and a half big boys walked forward with a wooden plate in their arms, looking energetic all over.
Xiao Cheng walked over and said, "What's the matter, my vision is not counted!" ”
When Du Yuniang said that she was recruiting a partner, Xiao Cheng felt that it was not appropriate. If nothing else, can this guy shout about things in the shop? What if they tell the story of their shop and someone finds out about it, and they do the same?
Although the recipe of the dim sum is kept secret, but the kiln, the molds that make the dim sum are more or less the opportunity to see it, if they are really bought by people with ulterior motives, they will lose it at that time.
Xiao Cheng is a person who is afraid of being calculated, so he has a lot of conspiracy theories in his thoughts. He didn't trust the guys who came to apply, so he simply made his own decisions and found someone to buy two clever ones back.
At first, Du Yuniang didn't agree with it, thinking that it was unnecessary to buy people. But after a period of contact and understanding, she felt that Xiao Cheng's idea was very good!
She even thought that when the business of the shop was good in the future, she would buy two more skilled women and mothers-in-law to come to the store to help make snacks. Let them only master the process, not the formula, so that the chance of leaking secrets will be greatly reduced. The most important thing is that the people who bought it all signed a death contract, if anyone has a heart of betrayal, Du Yuniang, as their master, can directly execute them!
Holding their deed of sale in his hand is like holding the power of life and death, as long as he doesn't have a problem with his brain, he won't do anything unfavorable to him.
"Yes, yes, you're smart." Du Yuniang praised Xiao Cheng, and at this time, the peanuts on Yang Zheng's side were also upside down.
Xiao Yu'er and Jiang Shi tasted a few, and they couldn't stop saying that they were delicious.
Du Heqing also said quietly, this is a good dish to accompany the wine.
