Chapter 8 The broth is meaty

Shen Shiliu looked at such a crowded street, and knew what to do, the people take food as the sky! No matter what you do, you will be inseparable from the word "eat"!

Shen Shu was stunned, how could he see what he was going to do? So he asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Where are the butchers in the county, I wonder if we will sell food and mutton soup in the future!" Shen Shiliu said.

"Huh? Mutton? It's expensive, isn't it boiled out to eat? The soup tastes so fishy, no one will eat it, right? Shen Shu said that the people here eat roasted mutton, not boiled. Shen Shiliu has been feeling more and more weird recently.

"Don't worry, I have a way to get rid of the smell, let's go to the butcher first, and we don't sell mutton, just sheep's heads and sheep's hooves!" Shen Shiliu said with a smile.

Butchers with sheep's heads and sheep's hooves will not keep them, and there is little meat, so it is not enough trouble to pick them up. But now she is different, it just takes some effort, earns hard money, and it won't be very expensive when the time comes, and I'm not afraid that no one will buy it!

There are also many butchers who sell meat, Shen Pomegranate inquired from house to house, picked the cheapest one, and bought a set for four cents, a sheep's head and four sheep's hooves. Mutton is more expensive than pork, pork sells for 20 wen a catty, and mutton is 30 wen. This set of heads and hooves can weigh six or seven pounds, and it is already very cheap to buy for four cents, and the boss who sells meat also thinks that these things are better than throwing them away, and both sides are very satisfied.

After buying things, Shen Pomegranate didn't stay in the county anymore, and hurriedly returned to Chaoxia Village.

Zheng Shi saw that Shen Pomegranate had gotten back such a set of things, and wondered what Shen Pomegranate was going to do: "Pomegranate, this thing is fishy and fat, are you going to make soup too?" "Shen Pomegranate can boil that old turtle so fragrant before, she thinks that this sheep's head and sheep's hooves can be picked up badly.

Shen Shiliu smiled: "Yes, I'll do it first, our family will taste it first, and see if my idea can be realized after that!" ”

"What's the idea?" Zheng was stunned, but Shen Shiliu smiled and didn't speak first.

Shen Pomegranate lit the fire, and the hair on the sheep's head and hooves was burned directly, and the wool was soft, even if the hair roots were left in the skin, it would not have any effect.

After burning the wool, Shen Pomegranate asked Shen Shu to split the sheep's head with an axe first, and then threw it into the cauldron with the hooves.

Make water in a large pot and boil, first go to the blood water, blanch it half-baked, then take it out and dry it first, and then remove the meat when it is cold.

When Shen's father came back from outside, he smelled a smell from afar, and when he entered the courtyard, he saw that Shen Pomegranate was picking meat.

"...... this?" Father Shen asked, and then understood from the Zheng family.

"Come on, dad will cut the meat for you, don't cut your hands for a girl!" As he spoke, Father Shen took the deboning knife and helped Shen Pomegranate remove the meat.

Shen Pomegranate knew that her father was skillful, so she asked Shen's father to pick the meat first, and then she went to prepare the ingredients for a while.

It is not very difficult to get rid of the smell of mutton, so I picked a large radish from the kitchen basket, washed it and cut it into pieces of radish that are one inch long and half an inch wide and put it aside for later use, and then grabbed half a handful of mung beans, both of which are to remove the smell.

Father Shen finally finished kicking it after a while, and even the muscles and brains on the sheep's hooves were not wasted at all, and after the picking, he said: "Good girl, this thing is actually quite good, and it has been picked out so much!" ”

Shen Pomegranate saw that it was indeed quite shipped, and changed the knife to cut the skin of the meat a little smaller. The water in the pot was changed, and Shen Pomegranate was thrown back into the pot with bones and meat, and the cut radish and mung beans were also put in.

Shen Pomegranate cut the green onions, ginger slices, and garlic directly and threw them into the pot.

"Mother, pancakes!" Shen Shiliu looked at Zheng and said, the pot in the yard is occupying, they have to use the pot in the kitchen!

"Cheng, my mother will cook the pot for you, you and noodles!" Zheng smiled, the air was already fragrant, and the thought of eating good food was about to come, and Zheng was also working hard.

Shen Shu came over with firewood, and then asked, "Isn't this cauldron a bit too much, our family can't eat these!" ”

"It's okay, if you can't eat it, I'll take it to the county seat tomorrow and sell it!" Shen Shiliu said.

Hearing Shen Pomegranate say this, the family came to the spirit and gathered together to discuss carefully.

"If you sell it, can you sell it? There are so many restaurants in the county, and no one eats these sheep's heads and sheep's hooves! Zheng said.

"We sell cheaply! Try it tomorrow! Shen Shiliu said, anyway, it's just such a pot, at least the whole family has eaten a meal, and there will be no loss.

"Yes, I'll go with your mother tomorrow and carry it with a burden!" Father Shen replied, anyway, it takes a little effort, and he is not afraid of being tired as a farmer.

Seeing that it was not early, Shen Pomegranate's noodles had also woken up, the noodles mixed with white flour and cornmeal were not hard, and the pot on Zheng's side was also burned, so Shen Pomegranate went to make cakes.

The cauldron of pancakes had to be well controlled, and Zheng helped watch the fire, and Shen Pomegranate began to pancakes. In the middle, I also threw the previously cut shredded cabbage into the sheep's head pot to stew.

"It's going to be dinner right away!" Shen Pomegranate saw that as soon as the cake was baked, he went to see the stew pot.

As soon as the lid of the pot is lifted, the aroma can float two miles in the wind, and the family is around the stove looking at the gurgling soup in the cauldron, and their eyes are bright.

"Open the meal!" Shen Shimei gave an order, everyone put the bowls in the bowls, and after the soup was finally seated, Shen Shimei re-covered the pot and continued to simmer.

Father Shen took a sip of the soup, the taste was very fresh, there were some oil flowers floating on the soup noodles, and when he drank it, he felt that the taste in his nose was fragrant.

"It's really not fat at all, and the meat is strong!" Zheng eats meat, the meat of the sheep's head is fat and thin, and the muscles and brains on the sheep's hooves are even more elastic.

Shen Shu also nodded: "It's done so well, it will definitely be sold tomorrow!" ”

Shen Shimei smiled, she usually went on a diet, but today she couldn't help but drink a bowl of soup, which made her feel good!

Early the next morning, Shen Shimei poured a pot of hot head soup into a clean wooden barrel, but she didn't pour it all, she left the radish pieces in the pot, and the mung beans had been boiled and melted in the soup, but she was not worried, this was her secret to removing the fishy smell, and she couldn't be known by outsiders.

Shen Shiliu instructed Shen's father and Shen's mother to go to those places where there were many "mud legs" who did coolies to sell. There are several warehouses in the county, and there are a lot of laborers carrying big bags there, and they should be no worse when they go there to sell food!

"Mother, if it sells well, you can buy another set of sheep's head and sheep's hooves, the third one is four dollars, and the others are expensive!" Shen Shiliu said, if it sells well, this thing must keep up, otherwise it will not be able to keep repeat customers!

"Gotcha, my mother knows!" Zheng smiled in response.

As soon as Shen's father and Shen's mother left, Shen Shimei was worried, even if she was confident in her cooking skills, she would still worry that it would not be easy to sell.

"Don't look at the pomegranate, brother thinks the soup you made must be good!" Shen Shu secretly guards Shen Pomegranate.

Shen Shiliu pondered to find some work, and now he couldn't be idle, so he carried a bamboo basket up the hill.

It just rained last night, and there should have been a lot of mushrooms growing at this time, so I hurried to pick them while there were still few people, dried them in the winter and stewed the meat, even if she couldn't eat them, she felt a sense of accomplishment.

Shen Pomegranate came back at noon, and after cooking and sending it to Shen Shu, he waited at the entrance of the village by the way, and it was estimated that Shen's father and Zheng's family should also come back.

Shen Shimei found a shade to sit on, and after sitting for a while, she saw that Shen's father and Zheng's family had returned, and the time of coming back was much earlier than she thought!

"Daddy! Mother! Shen Shiliu ran over and asked, "It's just past noon, and you two are back?" ”

"But no, you make broth and sell it quickly, and it will be sold out in the blink of an eye!" Zheng is happy, according to what he said, a bowl sells for three dollars, and there are really many people who come to buy it. Although there is not much meat in this mutton soup, it tastes good, and the cabbage in it is more fragrant than the usual home-stewed ones. So as soon as Zheng's put it on the table, someone came over to ask for the taste, and after Zheng's gave a bowl for free, there were more people who bought it!

Shen Shimei was happy and helped to take the flat burden, and yesterday's pot was finally sold by the Zheng family for more than fifty bowls.

"I'll do it!" Father Shen said, today I really saw the copper coins in my pocket, not to mention how happy I was.

The three of them went home first, and Shen Shiliu said, "Bring a table tomorrow, you can recruit people!" ”

"Okay, there's an old table in the kitchen that has been sitting idle, so I'll take it with me tomorrow!" After Father Shen finished speaking, he went to clean up the table.

Shen Shimei suddenly became more motivated, and the Zheng family bought another set of sheep's head and sheep's hooves, and she had to hurry up and pick it up, otherwise she wouldn't be able to sell it tomorrow!

Early the next morning, Shen Shimei poured the hot mutton soup into two large clean wooden barrels. Shen Shu carried the table, and Shen's father pushed the trolley.

"Mother, I'll take a look today, you can rest at home!" Shen Shiliu said, considering that she was in a little slow to travel, the father and son got up before dawn, and tried not to go to the county seat too late.

Shen Pomegranate was really uncomfortable all the way, sweating a lot, and when he arrived in the county seat, Shen Pomegranate first found a place to rest for a while.

"Pomegranate, are you okay?" Father Shen asked with a smile, it's okay if this girl is sweating, the girl wants to lose weight, it would be good if she could lose weight earlier.

"I'll come every day from now on!" Shen Shiliu said: "I will go separately from you in the future...... otherwise it will be too delayed......

The three of them entered the county seat, and Shen's father went to the boundary where he sold rice yesterday, set the table and put the bucket on the shelf.

As soon as the people who came to eat yesterday saw Shen's father, they hurried over, and today everyone brought their own rice bowls.

"You came at the right time, you caught up with a batch of work in the morning, and you haven't eaten anything!" Someone came over with a bowl and said, there is no time to move goods in the warehouse, sometimes they have to unload the goods before dawn, and it is already morning when they are done, and their laborers are also hungry at this time!

"One bowl of three dollars, two bowls of five dollars!" Shen Shiliu said directly.

Shen Pomegranate's body shape is also very eye-catching, but Shen Pomegranate doesn't feel uncomfortable.

The amount of food for these laborers is relatively large, and when they are hungry, one bowl may not be enough, but two bowls can be eaten to their heart's content.

One morning, Shen Pomegranate listened to the sound of the tinkling of copper coins, and the smile on his face never stopped.

"Oops, someone over there fainted!" Suddenly, I didn't know who shouted on the side of the street, Shen Shimei's attention was attracted, looking for the source of the sound and looking over, there was really a person lying on the ground on the street, and I didn't know what was wrong?
