Chapter 30: Popularity
After lunch, the crab bun was also steamed, Cai Xiaoxiao took it out, and then handed it to Zhao Kangqiang and Zhao Xiaoli, who had been waiting early, one each, and one for himself, Zhao Kangcheng and Zhao Wang.
Cai Xiaoxiao felt that the sweetness of the buns was just right, the overall softness and hardness of the buns were just right, the taste was not bad, she could taste the taste of pumpkin, and the summary was that she was quite satisfied.
Cai Xiaoxiao looked at the other four again, waiting for their evaluation, and after Zhao Wangshi finished eating, he said: "Yes, the sweetness is just right, I feel that an old man like us will not feel tired after eating." ”
Even Zhao Kangcheng, who doesn't like sweets, thinks it's good: "It's delicious." ”
And Zhao Kangqiang and Zhao Xiaoli just like it very much, they like the appearance, and they like the taste: "It's so delicious!" Sister-in-law, you're amazing! ”
After getting a satisfactory evaluation, Cai Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "You eat less, just finished eating, don't eat too much." Since you all think it's good, I'll continue. ”
Rolling up her sleeves, Cai Xiaoxiao made ten more crab pumpkin buns, but she didn't steam them for the time being, and planned to take them to the village to sell them tomorrow morning.
The next morning, Cai Xiaoxiao got up early to steam the crab pumpkin bun, and then went to the thatched pavilion with Zhao Kangcheng, when the villagers came to buy breakfast, Cai Xiaoxiao said to the villagers: "Sorry everyone, there is no glutinous rice today, but I made a new product." Zhao Kangcheng uncovered the thick quilt covered with crab buns by the way, and then everyone saw the crab buns placed on the steamer.
"What is this?" It was Uncle Zhang who asked, "Crabs? The villagers were a little surprised, after all, crabs are very expensive, and ordinary people can't afford to eat them.
Cai Xiaoxiao explained with a smile: "It's not a crab, it's a bun, and I made it look like a crab, but it's actually pumpkin-flavored." ”
"How much?" Uncle Zhang asked.
"Same as sticky rice, three copper plates." Cai Xiaoxiao said.
"Do you have red dates in here too?" Someone asked.
Cai Xiaoxiao said: "No, there is nothing in it, but the whole dough is made by me with pumpkin, and there are red beans on it." Also, because it was my first attempt, I only made ten, and today the main thing is still wontons. ”
Villagers, you look at me, I look at you, in the end, some people think that the crab bun is a bit expensive, and they don't want to buy wontons, so they choose to buy Cai Laotou's scallion pancakes and fritters, and suddenly there are many fewer guests than a few days ago, but this is all expected by Cai Xiaoxiao, after all, the crab bun is a new product, and it doesn't look as affordable as glutinous rice, so naturally some villagers can't accept it.
"Give me a crab bun." Uncle Zhang didn't leave, he asked for a crab bag.
"Okay." Because he wanted to make crab buns, Cai Xiaoxiao specially bought some oiled paper in the town, and when he was about to wrap the crab buns in oiled paper, Uncle Zhang waved his hand and refused: "No need to wrap it, just give it to me, and give me another bowl of wontons." ”
"Oh, good, you take it, it's a little hot." Cai Xiaoxiao handed the crab bun to Uncle Zhang, and then turned around to order wontons for Uncle Zhang, and several villagers lined up to order wontons.
The rest of the villagers saw that Uncle Zhang had bought a crab bun, so they all looked at Uncle Zhang, wondering how this crab bun tasted?
After taking a bite, Uncle Zhang felt that this crab bun was softer than the buns or steamed buns in the town, because it was still hot and hot in the mouth, and as Cai Xiaoxiao said, the full of pumpkin fragrance and the faint sweetness also satisfied his taste very well, Uncle Zhang praised Cai Xiaoxiao: "Zhao's daughter-in-law, your craftsmanship is really getting better and better, this crab bun is very good, I like it very much." ”
Uncle Zhang is Cai Xiaoxiao's frequent visitor, his family is only him and his wife and son at home, it is said that he originally had two children, but those two children went to the capital many years ago and never came back, although from time to time will send some silver back, which makes Cai Xiaoxiao think of the modern left-behind old man.
Uncle Zhang and his wife from the beginning of the sad loss to the end seems to accept such a fact, but also want to open, the couple do farm work on weekdays, with the money sent back by the child to buy some of the food they want to eat, it can be said that life is more chic than before, sometimes Cai Xiaoxiao can't help but envy when he sees it, after all, people live for themselves, and only when they live happily are they worthy of themselves.
Receiving Uncle Zhang's praise, Cai Xiaoxiao smiled: "If you like it, give it, this is the wonton you want." Because Cai Xiaoxiao often sells breakfast in the thatched pavilion, the villagers spontaneously put some benches or tables in the pavilion for breakfast, and the slightly richer villagers, the women in the family can eat breakfast at any time when they see the men anyway, and some even don't get up early in the morning to cook breakfast, and directly send their men to buy it themselves.
Cai Xiao couldn't help but smile secretly after hearing this: Is this a bad habit caused by her?
The rest of the villagers saw Uncle Zhang's praise, so some villagers not only began to be curious about this crab bag, but also there were only ten crab bags, and if they bought it late, they wouldn't be able to taste it, so a few villagers also hurriedly stepped forward and asked for one, Uncle Zhang saw this and hurriedly said to Cai Xiaoxiao: "Zhao family's daughter-in-law, leave one for me!" I'll go back and bring my wife to taste it! ”
"Hey! Great! Don't worry, I'll leave you one! Cai Xiaoxiao heard it and hurriedly responded.
So in less than a while, all ten crab buns were sold out, and the villagers who didn't buy them regretted that they started late, and they regretted it even more after tasting a bite from the people who bought them, so someone asked Cai Xiaoxiao: "Zhao's daughter-in-law, will your crab buns still be sold tomorrow?" ”
Cai Xiaoxiao was also very happy that crab buns were so popular, she nodded and said, "Sell!" ”
"The daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, then you sell more tomorrow, these ten are not enough for people to share." A villager proposed.
Cai Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "I know, I'll do a little more tomorrow." ”
After wrapping the crab bag left for Uncle Zhang, Cai Xiaoxiao said gratefully: "Uncle Zhang, thank you." "If Uncle Zhang hadn't made a good start, the crab buns wouldn't have sold so quickly.
"Thank you, your bun is already delicious." Uncle Zhang said, "But if you eat too much, you will feel a little choked, and some villagers can't afford to buy wontons, so if you eat your buns, you will feel very thirsty, which is not good." ”
