Chapter 31: The Noodle Stallholder
"Okay, my mother knows, and I won't force you in the future, I just hope you can slowly get used to it and accept that we are a family, okay?"
"Hmm!" Facing the gentle Aunt Zhou, Chun Tao was a little tempted, but it was only for a moment. "Then I... I'll go first... Got to work. ”
Aunt Zhou nodded with a smile, watched Chun Tao walk out of the stove room, lowered her eyelids and pondered for a while, and sighed softly.
Chun Tao pinched the cucumber with her hands and put it in the jar of soy sauce before, then added the washed and drained ginger, garlic and chili peppers. Because people here don't like spicy food very much, Chun Tao only cut half of the chili peppers.
Aunt Zhou glanced at the spring peach who walked in and asked, "Are you ready?" ”
"No... No, I think... I want to use a pot. ”
"Okay, anyway, the meal is ready, you wait, I'll wash the pot."
"Good!" After Mrs. Zhou washed the pot, Chun Tao poured oil into the boiled pot, put in the peppercorns and stir-fried after heating, and then turned off the heat and let it cool. After the pepper and oil are cooled, pour them into a jar of cucumbers, and add a little white wine. Finally, seal it and put it in a dry and cool place, and you can eat it after a day or two.
It's over, and I can't lift it. Five catties of dehydrated cucumbers plus soy sauce and jars are really a bit heavy, and Chun Tao didn't dare to use force after trying to lift it once or twice, so he dragged it to the stove room.
As soon as Zhou Kuiruo pushed open the door, he saw Chun Tao dragging a jar in a strange posture, turned around and closed the door, unloaded the cage and put it in the courtyard, and walked to Chun Tao's side. "I'll do it!"
As soon as Chun Tao heard the sound, the jar in his hand was empty. "You... You go back... It's back! ”
"Mother!" Zhou Kuiruo walked into the stove room to say hello to Aunt Zhou, and put the jar in the backlit place.
"Qui'er is back, the food is fine, go wash your hands, and eat it right away."
"Good!" After putting the jar away, Zhou Kuiruo flashed in front of Chun Tao, picked up the cage and returned to the house.
Chun Tao looked at Zhou Kuiruo's dashing back, and disappeared before she could thank her. I'd better grab the dishes and chopsticks and prepare for dinner!
"How's your preparation?" As soon as Chun Tao finished wiping her body and entered the house, she heard Zhou Kuiruo's inquiry.
"Also... Ok, right! After saying this, Chun Tao ran out, and Zhou Kuiruo suddenly didn't hear the sound and looked up, and the person was gone.
Before Zhou Kuiruo's frowning brows could be relaxed, Chun Tao came in again. "This, you... You taste it. ”
Zhou Kuiruo looked at the small jar in front of him, took the book and moved it back quietly, looked up at Chun Tao, and asked, "What is this?" ”
"Meat... Meat floss, add in... Rice... In the rice balls, absolutely... No... Not surprising. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Kuiruo took a small bite, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully. "It's made of meat?"
"Hmm!"
"The dry smell of the meat is a bit heavy, add more liquor or ginger next time to taste."
I still put a lot of ginger, so try more liquor next time. "Good!"
"But it tastes good, and no one has ever done it. How's your other stuff going? ”
"I... I wrote. Chun Tao took out the paper in his sleeve and handed it to Zhou Kuiruo. If she really wants her to say something, I guess she won't be able to finish it tomorrow, so it's better to write it down faster.
Rice balls, need fritters, meat floss, pickled cucumbers, meat floss, pickled cucumbers are ready, fritters are purchased on the same day, and rice is steamed on the same day.
Cool skin, let the batter water stand tomorrow night, and steam it in the morning. Ingredients vinegar and chili oil are ready, and garlic water is prepared on the same day. Cucumber shreds, bean sprouts, buy tomorrow, guaranteed freshness.
Pea yellow, soaked tomorrow night, steamed that morning, done.
Mung bean porridge, cooked that morning.
"You're going to do it all?" There are a lot fewer typos, and it seems that there is concentration in learning. Zhou Kuiruo not only read the content on the paper, but also carefully checked whether each word was correct.
"Hmm!"
"As long as there is a pot and a stove at home, you are the only one who does it. So many things, you don't have time. By the time you're done, the bazaar will be gone. ”
"That's... So what to do? ”
"Don't make mung bean porridge, this is very common, and not many people buy it. You just get up early, make the rice balls, cold skin, and pea yellow to see how many people can accept it. ”
"Hmm!" In fact, Chun Tao was also worried that she wouldn't be able to finish so much, but she still wanted to try, so she listed it.
"And what are you going to use it for?"
In fact, Chun Tao has thought of designing a cart with some holes in it, and then you can directly put the bucket of rice and ingredients from the hole, just like the modern one. But it takes a lot of money to complete this idea, and what they lack most now is money.
Let's wait until you have money! Chun Tao shook her head, indicating that she had no idea.
"And how to move so many things to the county seat is also a problem."
That's right! The rice alone is very heavy, and you have to bring a lot of cold skins and pickled cucumbers, and you can't move them at all.
"So be it! Tomorrow, I'll put some things that can be used directly in the county seat. ”
"Put... Where? ”
"Don't ask, I have my own way." said so, Zhou Kuiruo regretted it in his heart. What am I asking for such a woman?
Zhou Kuiruo's thoughts in her heart Chun Tao would definitely not know, and the conversation was over, and she was also a little sleepy.
"That's... Then I slept. ”
"Hmm!" Seeing Zhou Kuiruo go to bed, Chun Tao blew out the candle and lay on the ground to meet Zhou Gong.
The next day, Chun Tao took meat floss, pickled cucumbers, chili oil, and five spiced vinegar into the county seat in the ox cart rented by Kui Ruo last week.
"Lang Jun doesn't plan to set up a stall today?" Zhou Kuiruo took her to the noodle stall last time, and the noodle stall owner greeted the two warmly as soon as he saw them.
"Yes!" Chun Tao glanced at him secretly and found that he was smiling a little reluctantly, as if he was struggling with something.
"It's... That is true. It was the first time Chun Tao had seen Zhou Kuiruo's stuck appearance, "Cough~ This is a clumsy jing." "Caught off guard, I introduced Chun Tao.
The stall owner looked at Chun Tao's face with a hint of surprise, and then said, "It turned out to be Mrs. Zhou!" Last time, I was clumsy and didn't recognize it. ”
Chun Tao didn't like to deal with strangers, and was suddenly pushed out, so she had to nod lightly, and then moved a step or two behind Zhou Kuiruo's back.
"That's right, Humble Jing wants to do some business, I want her to try it first. But some things are really inconvenient to carry, so..."Zhou Kuiruo didn't finish speaking, and the stall owner understood.
"If it's inconvenient, just put me here, anyway, I live in the county seat, and your little thing doesn't take up a place." The stall owner looked at the two of them, and there were not many jars and jars, and readily agreed.
"I'm sorry for your trouble."
"What's this, if it wasn't for Zhou Gongzi's help, how could I still do business here now! Wait! After speaking, the stall owner shouted at a group of children playing: "Erzhu, Erzhu, come here!" ”
"Dad, what's the matter! I'm still playing! The child pouted, very unhappy.
"You help Daddy bring these two to the house." Stretched out his finger and pointed at Chun Tao and Zhou Kuiruo, "Tell your mother that this is my friend, put something in our house and let her not move." When you come back, Dad will buy you candy to eat. ”
"Good! Then you have to remember to buy it, you can't fool me. ”
"Got it. Zhou Gongzi, I can't leave, I'll let this kid take you to my house, do you think it's okay? ”
"I'm tired." After Zhou Kuiruo thanked the stall owner, he took Chun Tao and followed Erzhu.
