Wei Shengnan bought a sewing box at the supply and marketing cooperative, and was eating ice cream while strolling around the vegetable market.

Her appearance immediately became a landscape in the vegetable market.

Many people who buy groceries and set up stalls are secretly looking at this beautiful girl.

But it's just a matter of looking.

As soon as you look at Wei Shengnan's clothes, you can know that she is either rich or noble, not to mention anything else, the price of the little white leather shoes on her bare feet is more than three hundred yuan.

There is a limited supply in this department store.

"I'm almost paid for groceries, give me ten dollars."

Qi Jie said very naturally and calmly, as if he was not here to borrow money, but to use the eraser at the same table when he was in school.

Wei Shengnan was stunned for a moment, then took out a ten-yuan bill from his handbag and handed it over.

After Qi Jie took it, she suddenly smiled and asked:

"Didn't you just say that you never borrowed money from women, and you forgot about it after only a few minutes?"

Qi Jie waved the banknote in his hand:

"I'm not borrowing this, I'm going to make a snack that can be popular all over the country, and this ten yuan is your advance payment...... Tomorrow morning remember to go to Gate 3 of the steel mill, where I will set up a stall, and if you are lucky, you will be my first customer. ”

After saying that, he walked quickly to the vegetable stall, and after buying the vegetables, he rode away on his bicycle.

What is the advance payment, has I agreed to it?

Also, what's going on with making snacks, aren't you determined to be admitted to Fudan University?

Looking at Qi Jie's distant back, Wei Shengnan put away the questions in his head, and planned to go to Gate No. 3 tomorrow to take a look, how can a steel mill employee be self-employed?

Don't want a job in the factory?

She didn't know that Qi Jie had been suspended without pay, and she just felt that as a worker, there was no need to do things like setting up stalls.

On the other side, Qi Jie returned home and began to get busy.

He took out the kitchen basin again, washed it, and poured a full fifty pounds of gluten into it.

According to the experience of the previous life, one pound of gluten can make 35 skewers of baked gluten, and this bag of gluten can make more than 1,700 skewers.

It should be enough for tomorrow...... Qi Jie poured the gluten into the basin and prepared some warm water.

Add a handful of salt to the warm water, stir and stir, and when the salt melts, pour the warm water into the basin.

According to the water absorption of gluten 1:1.5, it is necessary to prepare almost 75 catties of warm water.

Of course, this thing is also related to the humidity of the air and the environment, as well as the moisture content of the gluten itself, so it cannot be generalized.

After pouring it in, he stirred it a few times like a dough to soak all the dry powder with water.

Then cover the mouth of the basin with a cage cloth and set aside to rise.

Then he started making the sauce.

Whether the baked gluten is good or not is all in the sauce, and the essence of the sauce is in the chili oil.

Qi Jie bought shallots, onions, coriander, celery, ginger and other ingredients to add flavor to the chili oil.

However, in this era, the chili oil in snacks was far less elaborate than in later generations, and it was basically poured with hot oil on the dried chili noodles.

But in Qi Jie's view, if chili oil wants to be delicious, the aroma of chili pepper and edible oil alone is far from enough, and more ingredients need to be used to enhance the flavor.

He cleaned the ingredients he had bought and changed them to a knife for later use.

Then he took out the oil pot at home, looked at the remaining peanut oil, twisted his face to look at it, and confirmed that Cao Guilan had not come back from work, so he poured all the oil into the pot, and then lit a fire to burn the pot.

This kind of behavior was called "Ma Jian Da" in later generations.

So you have to avoid Cao Guilan.

If she wants her to know that the peanut oil that she is usually reluctant to put in the stir-fry at home is used by him to make chili oil, she will definitely not spare it.

At the very least, I have to nag Lao Qi for a long time, complaining that Lao Qi didn't educate the children well.

Qi Jie is too familiar with this mother's style.

After the oil was heated, Qi Jie put the chopped onions, ginger, shallots, coriander and celery leaves into the pot, then took out two firewood from the stove and manually reduced the heat.

Let the hot oil in the pot continue to boil, Qi Jie began to make the sauce base.

The so-called sauce base is made with sweet noodle sauce as the main sauce and other sauces as supplements.

This not only gives the sauce a complex flavor, but also increases the consistency of the sauce and makes it easier to hang on to the gluten.

The taste of the baked gluten is even more delicious.

After finishing this, he threw a few star anise and peppercorns into the pot, as well as a few bay leaves, to increase the flavor of the oil as much as possible.

The oil that is fried in this way is called cooking oil in the cooking industry.

Whether it is stir-fried or cold dishes, cooking oil is an indispensable match.

When the ingredients in the pot were fried and turned yellow and dry, Qi Jie took them out with a colander and did not throw them away, but put them aside and put them in the dishes when he made dinner later.

Thief incense.

Remove the oil residue from the pot, reheat it, and then remove all the heat from the stove.

After the oil temperature in the pot dropped slightly, Qi Jie poured two bowls of white sesame seeds into the pot.

Soon, the scent of sesame seeds wafted from the kitchen.

"Yo, what's the smell?"

When Qi Jie was busy working, Cao Guilan carried a small cloth bag and walked in leisurely from the outside.

When she saw the contents of the pot, the leisurely expression on her face suddenly disappeared.

", what are you doing?"

Qi Jie smiled:

"What about making sauce...... Mom calms down her emotions first, if you want to make money, you have to invest, this is an essential step......"

Cao Guilan looked at the empty bucket and looked at Qi Jie with a sad and angry expression:

"Can't you give me some leftover?"

The half barrel of peanut oil was bought by her, and she was reluctant to eat it when she stir-fried vegetables.

It's good now, it's been used by Qi Jie.

"Mom, you dissipate your anger, and when the baked gluten is made later, the first one will be made for you to eat."

Cao Guilan sighed:

"When will you be able to make Mom worry?"

With that, she walked out of the kitchen and went back to the house.

It didn't take long for Cao Guilan's voice to come from inside:

"Qi Yuanchao, look at the good things your son has done!"

Qi Jie saw that the sesame seeds in the pot were almost fried, and he raised his hand and poured all the chili powder he bought.

The spicy smell suddenly rises.

Qi Yuanchao, who had just come out of the house, was shocked:

"Wow, what a chili smell."

He and Cao Guilan came to the kitchen and saw Qi Jie stirring in the pot with a spoon:

"Is it necessary to make a snack?"

Qi Jie nodded:

"It tastes better this way, and it doesn't cost a lot, in fact, these sauces are very economical, and this pot can last about a month...... You can earn at least 10,000 dollars. ”

Hearing that she could make so much money, Cao Guilan's expression relaxed a little.

But then she suggested:

"Peanut oil is too expensive, and it's not easy to buy, it has been supplied in limited quantities, and the next time you use soybean oil or rapeseed oil, the supply and marketing cooperatives are open to sell, and the price is slightly cheaper."

It's really not okay if you can't supply it properly...... Qi Jie thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.

The grease in the pot had all turned into red oil, and Qi Jie poured the spice powder he bought into it, and the fragrance in the pot became stronger and stronger.

Not to mention eating, just smelling the taste makes people can't help but drool.

Finally, Qi Jie poured the freshly mixed sauce base into the pot and stirred it with a spoon to fully blend the fat and sauce into a slightly viscous sauce.

When it was done, he added some salt and sugar to neutralize the taste.

Then serve in a scrubbed stainless steel bucket.

The sauce for baking gluten is finally ready.

Next, Qi Jie began to make gluten.

Compared to sauces, gluten is less difficult.

Qi Jie set up a large board in the yard, poured the gluten out of the basin, put it on the board, and used a kitchen knife to cut the gluten into small pieces.

There was no cooking scale at this time, so Qi Jie could only estimate the weight.

Cao Guilan and Lao Quanquan rolled up their sleeves, carefully sucked their hands clean, and prepared to learn to make gluten with Qi Jie.

"Mom, you have to study hard, if you really want to sell fire in the future, you will take a long vacation for a while, find some neighbors with difficult families to help make gluten together, and I will be responsible for setting up a stall to sell it."

When Lao Qi heard this, he asked curiously:

"What about me? What am I doing? ”

Qi Jie continued to cut the gluten:

"You continue to work, how was it in the past and how it is now, if others ask me how much money I make, you just call it nonsense and try to behave disdainfully."

Idle, Qi Jie began to teach his parents an education lesson.

If this thing is very profitable, there will definitely be a lot of people who covet it, so he plans to make Lao Qi a hidden boss character.

Although it is not enough to get a team of black-clothed people to drive a helicopter over and kneel down on one knee and shout at Lao Qi and shout the Dragon King, it is better for people to be unable to see through him.

Only in this way can the Qi family be safe.

"Let's talk about earning money first, as if we can really make money."

Cao Guilan muttered, but there was a smile on her face.

My son has grown up and knows how to worry about the family.

But the thought of the half pot of peanut oil made her feel the urge to kick him.

This bear child, can't you keep a little?

Lao Qi began to be curious about the source of Qi Jie's craft:

"Who did you learn this from?"

Qi Jie has already said:

"In the past, a foreigner nagged about it, so I washed some gluten and tried it, and it was delicious.

The third floor of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Guo Hongxing was practicing calligraphy in his office when the office door was pushed open.

He Wenchang, deputy director of the supply and marketing cooperative, strode in.

He looked at Guo Hongxing and asked loudly:

"What about the gluten? Who did you let pull away? It can't be an IOU, right? ”

Guo Hongxing was just about to explain, but suddenly remembered Qi Jie's words in the afternoon, resisted the urge to explain, and continued to practice calligraphy unhurriedly:

"Do I need to explain to you what I do?"

He looked calm and relaxed, which surprised He Wenchang.

He Wenchang paused, perhaps realizing that his tone was not appropriate, so he looked at Guo Hongxing and said:

"I think it's such a big deal, you should talk to everyone first, and if you don't know, you think the warehouse has been burglarized."

Guo Hongxing was still practicing calligraphy, and he didn't even look at He Wenchang.

When he finished writing, he asked lightly:

"You're teaching me to do things?"
