Chapter 98: The first stall
The fresh scent of the tide spreads from the stall cart, making it especially tempting on this hungry morning." Pen "Fun Pavilion". Everyone shrugged their noses in unison, catching the strange fragrance in the air.
Hu Baizhi finished eating an octopoyaki with satisfaction, and put her eyes on the small snack on the side with a smile, her eyes lit up and said: "Qingyan Qingyan, tell me what kind of name these are, this fragrance can make me hungry!" ”
Hu Baizhi's voice was not small, and she deliberately increased her voice at this moment, which instantly attracted the attention of the onlookers, and everyone invariably took a step closer, wanting to see it clearly.
Where could Hua Qingyan not understand her intentions, this Hu Baizhi is doing publicity. She was nervous, but she also knew that she must not hold her friends back at this time, so she walked over to cooperate with Hu Baizhi to introduce the snacks on the board.
The snacks on the board are very simple for Hua Qingyan, of course, the materials are limited, and Hua Qingyan can't make a complicated Black Forest at this time. So I made two simple Chinese dim sum with pumpkin and purple sweet potato, and the shape is very simple, but even so, it is a rare thing for the people of Chaoyang Town.
Hua Qingyan just thought about how to introduce dim sum to the big guy, the two little buns woke up, kicked their legs and sat up, if it weren't for Bi'er watching them quickly and supporting them, it is estimated that the two little buns would have fallen to the ground with a clatter.
Because he just woke up, Xiao Baozi looked around with a little blank blinking, the unfamiliar environment and the crowd gathered around made the two startled, and Xi'er subconsciously hid behind Worry-free, and her little hands tightly pulled her brother's clothes. It seemed that he smelled the familiar fragrance, and he rubbed his eyes carefree, although he was a little confused, he still instinctively stretched out his hand to Hua Qingyan to hug: "Mother, I'm hungry!" ”
Hua Qingyan was so cute by the cute expressions of the two children that her heart trembled, where would she be willing to let them starve. Hurriedly took the snacks from the board and put them on the oiled paper and handed them to them: "Eat some to cushion your stomach first, and let Sister Bi'er take you to eat delicious food in a while." ”
"Ah, it's a pumpkin!" Wu exclaimed with a snack. The little pumpkin is as big as Carefree's hand, small, but so delicate that even the veins on it can be seen, and it is hot and has a sweet taste, although Carefree is a little reluctant, but he still can't help but take a small bite to his mouth, "It has the taste of purple potato!" Mother, there is purple sweet potato in the little pumpkin! ”
What Hua Qingyan handed to Wuwu was a purple sweet potato pumpkin bun, which was similar to the steps of making steamed buns, but the filling was replaced with purple potato puree, and the dough was made of pumpkin and glutinous rice flour. Wrapped the steamed purple potato puree into the pumpkin dough, and then made it into a pumpkin shape, because she felt that her technique was rusty, Hua Qingyan also used a thick line to tie the dough before putting it in the steamer to steam. The small pumpkin bags on the board are all round, small and cute.
Seeing that Hua Qingyan had delicious food, Xi'er popped up from behind Wuwu and shrugged her little nose. Xiao Wuwu loves her sister very much, and hurriedly put the pumpkin bag in her hand to Xi'er's mouth. Xi'er took a bite with her carefree hand, and immediately burst into a bright smile: "Sweet! ”
In order not to destroy the original taste of the ingredients, Hua Qingyan did not add sugar, she was originally worried that it was not sweet enough, but she was relieved when she heard Xi'er say this.
The two little ones ate a mouthful of food, but the children in the crowd were hungry, looking at the pumpkin buns on the board and snorting while urging the elders around them to buy them for them. It's a nature to love children, not to mention the longing eyes of the little ones that people can't bear to refuse. After a while, a woman pulled the child and walked to the stall: "Little girl, what kind of name is this?" How to sell it? ”
Business is here! Hu Baizhi and Hua Qingyan looked at each other and smiled, and hurriedly greeted the first guest: "This is a purple potato pumpkin bag, a dim sum, and two pennies!" Do you want to try two of them? It's soft and glutinous, but it's delicious! ”
This price was negotiated with Hu Qing and his wife, a vegetarian bun in Chaoyang Town sells for two cents, which is the size of an adult woman's fist, and the meat bun is five cents a piece, which is only a circle larger than a vegetarian bun. Although Hua Qingyan's purple potato pumpkin bun is small, it is better than freshness, and purple potatoes have never been eaten by big guys.
When the woman heard that it was a snack, she immediately felt that the three pennies were really spent, and without saying a word, she took out the money and handed it to Hu Baizhi: "Come on, bring me two." It's not delicious, I have to return it! ”
"Eh, how can it not be delicious, we are exclusive to this Chaoyang Town! I'm hungry for myself! Hu Baizhi quickly wrapped two purple potato pumpkin bags and handed them to the woman, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was about to overflow from her face.
Because there were no disposable bowls and plastic bags in this era, these snacks were either oiled paper or food boxes. Hua Qingyan thought about it and prepared a lot of oil paper, cut it into small pieces of different sizes, and took a lot of half-dried lotus leaves from Hu Qing. Compared with oiled paper, Hua Qingyan prefers to use lotus leaves to wrap snacks, after all, there is a faint fragrance on the lotus leaves, which is more comfortable than oiled paper.
When the food arrived, the child couldn't wait to pick up one and stuff it into his mouth, just chewed it twice, his eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly ate it in his hand and picked up another, "It's delicious!" It's soft and fragrant, so sweet! It's the best thing I've ever eaten! ”
Children are the most innocent, and this doesn't look like a lie. In an instant, the crowd who were still watching surrounded one after another, and the copper coins were taken out without mercy.
"The girl brought me four pumpkins, and I brought them back to my mother-in-law and children to taste!"
"Okay, that's a purple sweet potato pumpkin bun, take it!" Hu Baizhi collected the money with one hand and handed over the packaged snacks with the other.
"Girl, give me some too, and the purple one, what is that, and give me two, I like this color!"
"Okay, the purple is purple potato chestnut cake, which is also very delicious!" Bi'er went to the other side, and the same smile opened up.
The purple potato chestnut cake was still made casually, she originally thought that she would simply make the simplest purple potato cake, but she turned her head and saw the chestnuts cooked for the little buns. Hua Qingyan thought about it, the purple potato cake was a little monotonous, there were no other fillings, and it might be good to add chestnuts! As soon as she said it, she cut the chestnuts into small cubes and mixed them into the purple potato dough, and then pressed out beautiful little flowers one by one with a small mold of flowers in the space. The steaming effect is as delicious and beautiful as expected!
"It's delicious, it smells good, it tastes even better! Girl, give me four more! ”
"That purple flower is pretty, girl, give me some of both! It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful and delicious confectionery! ”
……
The applause was endless, Hua Qingyan looked at Hu Baizhi and Bi'er, who were busy, and breathed a sigh of relief, this first time out of the stall, it seemed to be quite smooth. It took a while for the crowd at the stall to disperse, but the big guy still had a snack or two in his hand. But at this time, the news that there was a beautiful girl selling delicious snacks in Nanshi spread, and after 66 people came to taste it, they sold some and took it away.
Because it was the first time to go out of the stall, and she tried it first, Hua Qingyan didn't make a lot of dim sum, and the two kinds of dim sum added up, which was almost four or five hundred. The three girls didn't expect people to be so enthusiastic at all, and in less than two hours, the two kinds of snacks were sold out, and the three of them could only look at each other and say sorry to the people who didn't buy it later, please be early tomorrow.
However, the dim sum sells fast, but the takoyaki is not popular!
Finally idle, Hua Qingyan asked Hu Baizhi and Bi'er to take their two children to walk around the street, while she looked at the stall by herself.
"Girl, bring me two snacks."
"I'm sorry that the snacks have been sold out, so the guest might as well come back tomorrow." Hua Qingyan wiped her hands and replied subconsciously, but when she looked up, it was no one else who was standing in front of her stall, it was really Liu Gongzi who had an inexplicable relationship with Huaxi.
That Liu Gongzi didn't seem to expect to see Hua Qingyan, he was slightly stunned, and said with a smile after a while: "Hua Girl is really a coincidence, I didn't expect this dim sum stall to be opened by you, the girl's hand is really tight." Liu Yingfeng said and glanced at Hua Qingyan's hand lightly, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, a pair of slender hands, slender and beautiful, like white jade.
"Liu Gongzi is polite," Hua Qingyan didn't have a good impression of Liu Yingfeng, if she met him in the past, she would never talk to him, but now is different from the past, this Liu Yingfeng is a customer, and she can't blow people away with cold words to guests. But I didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so I had to repeat the previous words again, "Today's dim sum has been sold out, Liu Gongzi ......"
"Isn't there still a freshly cooked one?" Liu Yingfeng interrupted Hua Qingyan's words, "This smells more tempting than those dim sum." I don't know what kind of name this is? Is the flower girl willing to solve Liu's doubts? ”
Hua Qingyan didn't want to see Liu Yingfeng, and the "flower girl" stimulated her nerves one by one. Looking at the posture of Liu Yingfeng as if he was about to take root in front of her stall, Hua Qingyan felt a pain in her brain. I had no choice but to follow Liu Yingfeng's meaning and introduced: "This is ......" The three words octopus balls swirled on the tip of his tongue and swallowed them back.
"What is it? It smells extraordinarily fresh! Liu Yingfeng stepped forward and sniffed, his face full of anticipation.
Hua Qingyan thought for a while before saying, "It's a freshly brewed pill, if Liu Gongzi is interested, you can buy one or two to try it." ”
Freshly brewed balls? Liu Yingfeng was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect that this little ball would have such an elegant name.
That's right, Hua Qingyan just changed the name of the octopus balls, and the word freshly brewed made this snack instantly taller. In the face of other people, Hua Qingyan actually didn't want to do more, but when he was facing the wind in Shangliu, Hua Qingyan subconsciously didn't want him to know the name of the food, so as not to guess the raw materials.
"It's a good name, but I don't know if this taste can match the word fresh brew." Liu Yingfeng, who came back to his senses, raised his eyebrows, "The flower girl will give Liu two of them, try it, is it worthy of the name!" ”
As soon as Liu Yingfeng's words fell, a woman rushed out from his side, grabbed Liu Yingfeng's arm and shouted, "Brother! Why are you here? Didn't you ever disdain to eat these roadside stalls? This roadside stuff is dirty and unpalatable! The woman turned around and cast a disdainful and disgusted look at Hua Qingyan, and when she saw Hua Qingyan's face clearly, her face changed greatly, "Why are you!" ”
