Chapter 8: A Bowl of Sad Noodles (1)
The topic jumped a little quickly, and Little Pepper was stunned for a moment before answering her: "Out of the city gate, through a small forest is the dock, what is there to answer?" There are boats on the docks, as long as you give money, you can drive away at any time, and we can go wherever we want. ”
It turns out that there is a boat outside the city, which is indeed convenient, as long as you get on the boat, it will be safe, even if Wu De catches up, you can only look at the boat and sigh. Shen Yiyi showed a smile and slapped her hand: "Okay, from tomorrow, let's start selling breakfast!" ”
Why did the topic jump back again? Do you want to sell early for half a day? Little Pepper said angrily: "Miss, you don't want to sell wontons, do you?" Just now I saw you staring at the wonton cart for a long time. ”
Shen Yi leaned on her cheeks, her slender fingers played on her face for a while as if she were playing a piano, shook her head and said, "No, no, no, others sell wontons, and I also sell wontons, what's the point?" I'm going to sell something different. ”
"What's different about selling?" Little Pepper regretted it as soon as she asked, why did she answer!
Why sell early! Why sell early! Miss, what's the matter!
"You wait, I'll make you a different bowl and go early." After Shen Yiyi finished speaking, she stood up and went to the kitchen.
Little Pepper couldn't stay in the hall, and almost immediately jumped up and followed.
Shen Yiyi went to the kitchen, took out a bag of pea flour from the cupboard, poured it into a large bowl, added water, and stirred it into a paste. When she was stirring the pea flour, she saw Little Pepper coming, and hurriedly said, "Since you are here, don't be idle, help me boil a pot of water!" ”
Little Pepper really didn't want to mess around with her, but Miss had a life, and she had to do it, so she could only make a fire and boil water.
The big pot stove, the fire is very strong, and the water is quickly boiled. Shen Yiyi held the big sea bowl in one hand and the spatula in the other, the big sea bowl was poured slowly, and the spatula stirred quickly. When all the pea flour paste was poured and stirred evenly, she called Little Pepper: "Draw a few sticks of firewood and boil over low heat." ”
The pepper resignedly turned down the heat, and the pea flour paste in the pan gradually became transparent and thick.
"Alright, put out the fire." Shen Yiyi shouted, took out the boiled transparent paste, and poured it into a clean box.
Little Pepper ran from behind the stove and exclaimed in surprise, "How did the pea flour become transparent?" Miss, what is this? ”
"It's jelly." Shen Yiyi said, handing the box to her, "Take it and use cold water to cool it faster." ”
Little Pepper answered, put the box away, and ran to the tank to scoop water.
When Little Pepper was busy, Shen Yiyi was not idle, cutting green onions, pounding garlic, grinding pepper powder, and washing a handful of small celery.
But...... One of the most important seasonings......
Shen Yiyi thought for a while, and raised her voice to ask Little Pepper: "Is there any chili pepper?" ”
Little Pepper ran over: "What is Chili?" ”
This...... Well, it seems that there are no chili peppers in this era. Shen Yiyi thought about it again: "Is there any spicy rice oil?" ”
Spicy rice oil should be there, right? "Shen Yiyi" had a booklet, which was tucked under the pillow, and she found it on the first day she crossed over. This booklet is some cooking notes made by "Shen Yiyi", recording a lot of dishes and seasonings, which is very characteristic of this era, and one of the condiments is "spicy rice oil".
Little Pepper looked at her and blinked: "Miss, you didn't do it, how could there be?" ”
This...... Shen Yiyi touched her face: "It's not sold outside?" ”
Little Pepper shook her head: "There are too few people who can make spicy rice oil, and I don't sell it." ”
It turned out to be a high-end product? From this point of view, although "Shen Yiyi" is a bit stupid, her cooking skills are still very good. Okay, since it didn't sell, let her try it. Shen Yiyi recalled the contents of the booklet and asked, "Do you have dogwood?" ”
"Miss, do you really want to make spicy rice oil?" Little Pepper couldn't hold back anymore and strongly objected, "Spicy rice oil is time-consuming and laborious to make, and it's not easy to carry, let's work hard to make it, but it's inconvenient to take it away, isn't it distressing?" Miss, don't you want to go? Are you planning to be a concubine for Wu De and live with him for the rest of your life?! ”
The ghost plans to be a concubine for Wu De! Shen Yiyi glared at her: "You go buy dogwood, and I'll improve the spicy rice oil." ”
Not only does she want to sell breakfast, but she also wants to improve the spicy rice oil?! Is she really planning to commit herself to being a concubine and live with Wu De for the rest of her life?! Little Pepper was so angry that she grabbed the bamboo basket for grocery shopping, and ran out of the door crying all the way.
As soon as she reached the entrance of the alley, she was stopped by two men dressed in short shirts. Little Pepper recognized them, they were a pair of brothers, one named Lu Da and the other Lu Er, who were hired by Wu De to spy on Shen Yiyi.
"What for?!" Little Pepper was angry, glaring at them.
Lu Da looked at the tears on her face and asked, "What are you crying for?" It can't be Miss Shen's accident, right? ”
"My lady wants to make spicy rice oil! My lady wants to sell breakfast! My young lady is going to take root in Fuyang County! Now you're satisfied! Little Pepper pulled at her throat and yelled at them, pushing them away and running away.
"Miss Shen really wants to sell breakfast?" Lu Da looked at the back of Little Pepper and touched the back of his head.
"It must be true, right? I just heard from the vendors. Lu Erdao.
"That's great, she lives here with peace of mind, Wu Juren can rest assured, and we can also worry about it." Lu Da muttered dissatisfiedly, "Every day from morning to night, my eyes are almost blind." ”
"It's not, I knew that this errand was so hard, so I didn't ......take it," Lu Er complained incessantly.
When Little Pepper bought the dogwood back, there were still tears on her face, Shen Yiyi twisted a wet towel and handed it to her, she wiped her face while getting angry: "The two eyeliners at the entrance of the alley are like door gods, they have to ask everything, and they stopped me if something was wrong, for fear that Miss would run away again." ”
It seems that the eyeliner is not easy to fool, it is similar to what she thought...... Shen Yiyi looked at Little Pepper's crying red eyes and said sorry to her in her heart.
Little Pepper was angry, and she was still unambiguous when she got to work, and quickly cleaned up the dogwood according to Shen Yiyi's instructions.
According to the notes of "Shen Yiyi", spicy rice oil is very labor-intensive and time-consuming, and the yield is extremely low. If you want to pay attention to purity, it is natural to pound the juice and make it into spicy rice oil, but they are not from Sichuan, it is too spicy and unnecessary, and it should be good to add water to boil it into a paste.
Shen Yiyi thought so, let Xiao Pepper boil a large pot of water, and then crushed all the dogwood, put it in a gauze bag, and threw it in.
To make spicy rice oil, you have to pound the dogwood into juice first, then filter, and finally add lime to stir, not to mention the time-consuming and labor-intensive, the proportion of the last step is also a very test of people's level. And boiling the dogwood into a paste, it is much simpler, add water and cook slowly, just watch the fire.
