Regarding Wei Shengnan's question, Qi Jie didn't explain much.

Because language is pale, when she sees roasted eggplant, she will know how popular this delicacy is.

More than a decade later, when barbecue was in vogue.

This grilled eggplant is known as the highest-ranking vegetarian dish in the barbecue world.

More popular than a lot of meat.

Of course, vegetarian dishes in future barbecue are not limited to grilled eggplant.

Roasted leeks, roasted peppers, roasted potato chips, roasted shiitake mushrooms, roasted beans and other vegetables will all become a part of the barbecue world, and eventually form a situation that competes with meat barbecue.

Wei Shengnan doesn't like to eat eggplants.

Usually, when she makes eggplant noodles at home, she even picks out the eggplant pieces one by one.

So for the roasted eggplant that Qi Jie said, there is no sense of expectation at all.

After Xu Aifang unloaded the car, she looked at Wei Shengnan with a surprised expression.

This is the daughter of Director Wei, right?

In the past, I just heard that she was beautiful, but I thought it was someone exaggerating the facts, but I didn't expect it to be even more beautiful than the legend.

is worthy of being the first beauty in Maishu.

Just now she listened carefully to the conversation between the two.

The sentence "baked is ready for you to taste first" made Xu Aifang instantly think of the time when she and Cao Erhe first went on a blind date.

No wonder the eldest nephew doesn't let him collect money.

These two are obviously getting involved.

As soon as she thought that she could have a relationship with Director Wei, she was excited.

I'm going to follow my nephew to soar.

Thinking of this, Xu Aifang walked up to Wei Shengnan and showed a loving smile like an elder:

"You're Miss Wei, aren't you? I'm Xiaojie's aunt, you can just call your aunt with Xiaojie, I came here today to learn to bake gluten with Xiaojie, don't worry, I won't disturb the two of you. ”

Wei Shengnan glanced at Xu Aifang, feeling a little flustered inexplicably.

She said hello obediently:

"Hello aunt."

After speaking, Wei Shengnan put on his little apron and said to the onlookers:

"If you want to eat gluten, pay quickly, and the sooner you pay, the sooner you can eat it."

Everyone gathered around and started to pay the money.

"I want six strings!"

"I'm nine strings!"

"Bring me five bucks!"

“……”

He set up the stall, lit the charcoal, and pickled the gluten he brought.

As he did it, he told Xu Aifang about these essentials.

"After dipping the sauce, be sure to stir the sauce first, so that it hangs more evenly on the gluten."

When the charcoal fire came up, Qi Jie took an eggplant and put it on the grill.

"You really roast eggplant, huh? Can this thing be eaten? ”

In these years, everyone basically eats seasonal vegetables, and they eat whatever grows in the ground, like the peak season of eggplant now, even if people who love eggplant, they can't be much interested in this thing.

At first, when Qi Jie said that he was roasting and eating, everyone thought he was joking.

But I didn't expect him to really roast.

Because they were all in a hurry to eat gluten, and Wei Shengnan was there, no one made a mockery.

But everyone looked at it with interest, wondering what it would taste like when it was baked, and would anyone buy it?

Roasting eggplants is more time-consuming, and after Qi Jie puts the eggplant on the edge, he no longer pays attention to it, and roasts the gluten wholeheartedly.

After selling dozens of skewers of gluten, he carefully turned the eggplant and used a brush to apply a layer of grease to the eggplant skin, which would prevent the eggplant skin from drying out.

After a while, he brought a grilled fish grid and placed it on the grill, carefully moving the eggplant up.

Then use a bamboo skewer to cut the eggplant.

The inside of the eggplant is ripe and soft, and as soon as it is cut, the whole eggplant is opened like a cloth bag.

Qi Jie cut the skin of the eggplant at both ends, turning the eggplant into a rectangle, and then made a few strokes in the middle to cut the thicker part.

After doing this, he took out the garlic sauce he had made overnight and spread it evenly on the eggplant with a small spoon.

"What is this? It smells of garlic. ”

Although he doesn't like to eat eggplants, Wei Shengnan always pays attention to Qi Jie's movements.

In her opinion, a person who can make gluten so delicious should not have a problem making eggplant.

"Garlic sauce, the perfect partner for eggplant."

Qi Jie explained, and once again focused on baking gluten.

When the garlic sauce was first applied to the eggplant, everyone didn't pay attention.

But it didn't take long for the garlic sauce to come up and the aroma began to spread everywhere.

Everyone is finally interested in this vegetable, which is usually a little disgusted.

"This taste...... It feels good. ”

"It doesn't smell like the usual eggplant."

"I just don't know what it tastes like."

"It shouldn't be bad, this smell goes straight to the nose."

“……”

The diners around were going to see the joke, but now they smell the smell of the eggplant, and the worms are hooked out.

When the garlic sauce in the eggplant starts to boil, it is a sign that the dish is complete.

Qi Jie pinched some chopped green onion and millet spicy chili flakes with a tong and put them on, and then pulled them twice with a bamboo skewer, then took out a disposable lunch box, leaned in front of the grill, and gently pulled the eggplant handle, and the roasted eggplant was dragged into the lunch box.

Qi Jie handed the lunch box to Wei Shengnan, and by the way, he sent her a pair of disposable chopsticks:

"Taste it, don't you taste it?"

It's delicious, it's definitely delicious.

Before tasting the taste, Wei Shengnan made such a conclusion in his heart.

No way, the taste is too fragrant.

After handing it to Wei Shengnan, Qi Jie said to the customers:

"Today's latest roasted eggplant is available in limited quantities for one dollar."

With that, he took an eggplant back and placed it on the grill and continued to roast the gluten.

Qi Jie didn't say the price before, everyone thinks that the eggplant is rotten on the street, and it will be sold for two cents at most, who knew that Qi Jie was so expensive.

Isn't this a ripper?

However, some female workers looked at Wei Shengnan with some expectation.

I want to know what it tastes like.

A dollar is nothing to them.

If it's delicious, they're not stingy.

Wei Shengnan took the roasted eggplant, picked up a piece with chopsticks and blew it into his mouth, at this time the eggplant had become extremely soft and rotten, and there were only some fibers supporting it.

As soon as I put it in my mouth, the aroma of garlic sauce filled my mouth.

The soft and tender texture of the eggplant complements the garlic sauce.

"Wow, it's delicious!"

Wei Shengnan took a bite, and when he saw that several female workers were looking at him, he took out a few disposable chopsticks from the cabinet and handed them over, so that they could all taste them.

Then I ordered several roasted eggplants.

Xu Aifang was surprised to see from the sidelines.

According to the market price, an eggplant is only a penny.

But Qi Jie made this price a hundredfold.

For one dollar, you can buy half a pound of meat.

These big girls and little daughters-in-law in the steel mill are really generous.

If you want to put aside the salesperson in the department store, no matter how delicious the snacks are, it is impossible to pay a dollar to buy them.

No wonder the eldest nephew chose to set up a stall here.

What a vision!

Qi Jie put another eggplant on the other end of the grill, and explained to the customer who ordered the eggplant by the way:

"The fire in the middle is too fierce, not suitable for roasting eggplants, you can only roast them at both ends, now you can only roast two eggplants at a time, let's wait a while."

He thinks that he can get a small grill to cook this slow snack when he goes back, so that it will not delay the gluten baking.

Wei Shengnan ate the roasted eggplant made by Qi Jie, and the more he ate, the more he felt that Qi Jie was a very amazing person.

Such ordinary gluten was roasted by him to be better than meat.

And the eggplant on the rotten street was also roasted out of flowers by him.

This guy's brain is too good, isn't he?

No wonder you want to aspire to take the Fudan exam, you can really pass the exam if you are so smart.

When Qi Jie was busy, Xu Aifang pedaled a bicycle to send the car to the Zhang family.

Her face was full of excitement now.

The business of the baked gluten stall is super hot, and Qi Jie also got involved with the daughter of Director Wei.

It's a double blessing.

When he arrived at Qi Jie's house, Cao Erhe was carrying building materials such as bricks and cement and sand into the yard with two helpers.

And Cao Guilan is taking two hired female workers to make gluten in Mali.

A string of two cents may seem like an easy one.

But it needs to go through four steps: wrapping gluten, boiling gluten, cutting gluten and wearing gluten, and it is still very tiring overall.

Xu Aifang trotted all the way to Cao Guilan's side and said excitedly:

"Guilan, it's going to be sent, Xiaojie is really going to send it, he really sold those eggplants, and one dollar a piece, my eldest nephew is really a genius!"

She scattered the good news, sent the tricycle to the Zhang family, and by the way, paid a deposit of 100 yuan to order a trolley exactly like Qi Jie, and then rode the bicycle to the No. 3 gate of the steel mill non-stop.

Since you have to make money by baking gluten, then study seriously and learn the essence of your nephew's money.

When she arrived at Gate No. 3, Xu Aifang had just gotten out of the car when she heard a few female workers who were about to go to work next to her chatting:

"Hey, Caifeng, isn't that Qi Jie? What's wrong with your blind date? ”

Blind date?

She turned her face to look at the female worker named Caifeng, who looked quite passable, but compared to Wei Shengnan, she was a dirty person.

The eldest nephew will go on a blind date with this kind of person?

Xu Aifang didn't care about it originally.

But the woman's next words made her angry......
