Chapter 2 I feel like I can eat a cow

“……”

Seeing Hu Zhihai's appearance of a big package, Jiang Yu wanted to refuse, opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything.

His current situation is indeed a bit difficult.

In his sophomore year of high school, Jiang Yu's parents died of illness one after another, leaving a lot of debts.

In the face of creditors who kept coming to the door, in order to let him study with peace of mind, his grandmother in her sixties insisted on carrying the debt on herself, regardless of her old age and frailty, getting up early every day and working hard to make money.

Grandma is so desperate that she has only one idea, that is, while she is still alive, she will try to pay off all her debts, and not throw this burden to the young Jiang Yu......

Every time he went home for the New Year, looking at his grandmother's more and more clumsy back, Jiang Yu even dreamed of making money.

With money, he was able to pay off the debts owed by his parents; With money, he can make his grandmother not have to work so hard, she can take a good rest, and live a life that a normal old man should live for a few days.

In the past, he was reluctant to accept help from others, because he felt that it was unnecessary, and many difficulties could be solved by gritting his teeth, which was nothing more than hard work, so why bother others?

But this time is different, he finally has a craft that can make money, and the opportunity to change the fate of himself and his grandmother is in front of him, and he really can't open his mouth to refuse.

He is still young and can wait, but grandma can't afford to wait......

As for Hu Zhihai's friendship, he can only keep it in his heart and keep it for the future.

"Good news! Good news! Jiang Yu is going to open a bun shop in our school cafeteria! ”

"Hold the grass! Really? Lao Jiang is awesome! ”

"The soup dumplings made by Jiang Yu are always delicious! The bun is full of thick soup, take a bite of the lips and teeth, the meat filling is fragrant and tender, the dough is thin and firm, take a bite...... Tsk, that's really a fairy-like treat! Don't say it, don't say it, I'm hungry again! ”

“…… Lie rubbing! Lao Hu, you are bragging, can Lao Jiang still have this skill? ”

"Am I bragging, won't you know when you've tasted it?"

"Don't say anything, I'll go back to school tomorrow, and then I have to try Lao Jiang's craftsmanship!"

"Tomorrow will officially open, everyone in the school remember to come to cheer, on the first floor of the second canteen!"

“……”

Jiangzhou University, the first floor of the second canteen.

Tomorrow is the start of school, the cafeteria is bustling again, and the staff are busy in an orderly manner, ready to welcome the teachers and students back to school.

Jiang Yu's figure is also among them.

Hu Zhihai's work efficiency is very high, and in less than two days, he got the matter of the canteen stall done.

The area of the stall is not large, only about 20 square meters, and the location is on the left hand side of the entrance door on the first floor of the second canteen.

After the store was completed, Jiang Yu immediately quit his job at the restaurant, hurried to complete all kinds of procedures, and began to make various preparations.

Early this morning, he went to the nearby vegetable market to shop, planning to find a few reliable food suppliers, after all, he can't go to the vegetable market every day to purchase, and finding a reliable store for distribution is the best choice.

In addition to selecting suppliers, Jiang Yu also purchased a batch of ingredients by the way, after all, it will officially start business tomorrow, and there is a lot of work that can be prepared in advance, otherwise, when it opens tomorrow, he will not be busy alone.

"I told the class group about you opening a bun shop in the cafeteria, and those animals were so shocked that their jaws were about to drop, and they said that they must come to try your craft when they come back."

Hu Zhihai leaned on the table in front of the window, and kept swiping his mobile phone, while laughing,

"When they taste the soup dumplings you made, their intestines will definitely be repentant!"

"Why?"

"It's not obvious yet? Of course, I regret that I didn't know that you are so good at cooking until my senior year, and you are about to graduate, if you go to work in other places, where will you eat such delicious soup dumplings in the future? ”

Hu Zhihai raised his eyebrows and said proudly,

"Anyway, I've already told my family that I'm not going to my dad's company for an internship this year, I have to work hard, and I'll talk about it after I get admitted to graduate school first!"

"You want to go to graduate school?"

Jiang Yu raised his head and glanced at him suspiciously.

This guy hasn't taken a good class since his freshman year, and if he can fail the final exam, he has to thank the teacher for his "grace not to kill".

That's it, he still plans to go to graduate school?

Hu Zhihai said eloquently: "Yes, with this reason, can't I stay in school openly and eat the soup dumplings you made every day?" ”

Jiang Yu: "......"

Well, the brain circuit of a foodie is really peculiar.

Without paying attention to Hu Zhihai, Jiang Yu began to get busy after classifying the fresh chicken feet, chicken racks, plum blossom meat, green onion and ginger, cooking wine and other ingredients he bought.

Chop the chicken feet and chicken rack into small pieces after they are cleaned, blanch them in a pot under cold water first, force out the blood stains in the ingredients, and then take them out and clean them several times, then continue to the soup pot under cold water, put in the processed green onion ginger, star anise, salt and other seasonings, boil over high heat, change to low heat and boil slowly.

It will take some time to boil the chicken broth, and Jiang Yu is not idle, and begins to prepare the meat filling.

He first cut the cleaned meat into slices, then chopped it with a knife, then added an appropriate amount of salt, oyster sauce, light soy sauce and other seasonings, and quickly stirred it in one direction with chopsticks.

"Hey, Lao Jiang, you start making minced meat now, do you plan to open for business today?"

Hu Zhihai looked at the meat filling that had been adjusted on the plate, and felt that his stomach was starting to be hungry again, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and quickly looked away from the outside of the cafeteria,

"I don't think there are many students coming back at this time!"

Jiang Yuying said: "It's not open today, it's mainly to open the fire and warm the pot." ”

It is a folk custom in Jiangzhou to open a fire pot in the new store, and it is the same as the warm pot in the new house. The latter means that after moving to a new house, life is getting better and better; The former wants business to flourish.

Of course, Jiang Yu mainly wants to familiarize himself with the environment of the canteen first, so as not to be in a hurry after the official opening tomorrow.

"Ah......h Then don't I have another good mouth at noon today? ”

When Hu Zhihai heard this, he immediately became overjoyed, he rubbed his hands and smiled,

"Lao Jiang, remember to make a few more in a while, I didn't eat enough last time!

Don't worry, I won't eat you in vain, when you open tomorrow, one person will definitely not be busy, I will help you sell steamed buns! ”

"Do you have a health certificate to sell steamed buns?"

"You are underestimating me too much, I can't pass the English level 6 test, can I still get a health certificate?"

Hu Zhihai glared and said angrily,

"Before the summer vacation, my mother originally planned to let me help out at her cake shop, and I got a health certificate at that time!"

Jiang Yu pursed his lips, didn't say anything more, and brought high-gluten flour from the side to prepare the noodles.

The skin of a delicious soup dumpling must be thin and translucent.

If you want to make a thin and translucent skin, you need to mix two pieces of noodles, one is cold water and noodles, and the other is hot water and noodles, and then fully knead the two noodles together according to the ratio of 1:1, and you can wrap the buns.

Jiang Yu first poured the flour into a cleaned stainless steel plate, then added an appropriate amount of salt and sugar to it, and then slowly poured the flour into the cool white boil, while starting to stir the dough in one direction.

Adding salt to the dough will make the dough tougher, while adding sugar will make the dough more translucent.

As for hot water and noodles, the steps are basically the same as those of cold water and noodles, except that the cold water is replaced with hot water.

After the two pieces of dough are reconciled, Jiang Yu mixes them together, kneads them evenly, and then covers the dough with a damp cloth for proofing.

At this time, the chicken feet and chicken racks boiled on the stove have also been stewed, Jiang Yu took a colander to take out all the chicken feet and chicken bones in the soup pot, and then simmered over low heat until the soup became milky white and thick, and then turned off the fire.

At this time, the small steamed bun shop was filled with the mellow and fresh aroma of chicken soup, which made the employees in the stall next door look sideways.

"This chicken soup is also so fragrant, when I used to go to the hotel to eat, why didn't the old hen soup I ordered taste like this?"

Hu Zhihai stared at the chicken soup in the soup pot with his eyes, his throat moved uncontrollably, and he said with a shy face,

"Lao Jiang, this chicken soup must be delicious, right? Why don't you save a little for me? ”

Jiang Yu: "......"

A person was busy and busy, and it was not until half past ten in the morning that Jiang Yu finished his work, he put the wrapped soup dumplings into the steamer rack and began to steam the buns.

The fire in the new stove was burning very strongly, and within a few minutes, the steamer was steaming, and the white water vapor was steaming up with the aroma of the buns, and an enticing fragrance permeated the entire stall.

Hu Zhihai couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, holding his stomach and wailing: "It's over, my stomach is starting to bark again, I feel like I can eat a cow now!" ”
