Chapter Twenty-Four: The Marquee at the Night Market
Today's college students are the real pride of the sky, leading the trends of this era, and now it seems that they are playing the same.
Especially college students who learn foreign languages, they are active and open-minded, and they are willing to try all kinds of new things.
Huang Xiaochuan was still so energetic dressed up and down, and he looked a little out of place with other diners sitting on the stewed stall. And the friend next to him 5, who is called Xiaoliu, looks a little sorry for the audience, and the appearance of the sharp-mouthed monkey makes people feel that they don't look like a good person at first glance.
Hearing that Huang Xiaochuan arrived, Jiao San, who sold clothes, left his clothing stall and rushed over with a bottle and two pots.
"Xiao Yao, you guys are good at cooking anything, but you just don't want to prepare to order snacks, didn't Brother Long give you advice last time, and I don't see you taking practical action." Jiao San said hello to Yao Yuan, and after complaining a few words, he sat next to Xiao Liu.
"What's the matter? Jiao Sanye, you've been doing a good job lately, and you can't easily see your figure? "Xiao Liu's mouth is quite heavy.
Jiao San hurriedly replied: "Oh, look at what you said, I didn't see you and Brother Huang coming, so I hurried over to greet you, what's the matter?" Just eat stewed for nothing, why can't you take two whole bites? With that, he raised the two-pot wine bottle in his hand.
Xiao Liu looked at Huang Xiaochuan next to him with an inquiring eye, and saw that Huang Xiaochuan had no intention of objecting, so he replied with a smile: "Come on, I just think that this stew is delicious enough, and it is almost interesting to have no liquor, Jiao Ye's wine came in time!" ”
Without a wine glass, Jiao San had to come over three big bowls, divide a bottle of two pots into three bowls equally, and hand over a bowl to Huang Xiaochuan first.
Huang Xiaochuan looked at the half bowl of liquor coldly, and frowned a little: "I can't drink liquor recently, you two come on, or I'll have a bottle of beer to accompany you." ”
Jiao San hurriedly stopped: "Don't, Brother Huang, is that beer wine?" Just this bit of liquor, you can drink two sips at will, I have to thank the sixth brother for introducing me to that way today, the batch of clothes that came in was all sold out, and the money was not less. Usually you are busy, today here to meet how many sips of two sips is so meaningful, back I in Lao Mo set a table, and then the business of the two of you to have a drink. ”
Jiao San was so polite, Huang Xiaochuan was no longer reluctant, and Xiao Liu couldn't wait: "Little fat smash, you cut two more bowls of pure bottom intestines and lungs for us, don't add anything else, let's make a drink." ”
Hua Xiaochuber responded crisply, and began to stretch his hands and feet quickly.
Yao Yuan, who had been hiding aside and not speaking, sighed secretly, didn't you say you still want to go to Jumpy? It's okay to stay in this stall with me, what's the matter? This is still a big drink, how much does it have to delay my business?
Yao Yuan has been playing chicken thief, refusing to serve cold dishes on his stall, just to prevent some wine putty, a glass of wine, a bowl of stewed boiled these people can consume half a day, too much delay in business, just like this, it still can't be stopped, people bring their own wine, and they are all acquaintances, so there is no rut at all.
With the help of the little fat man and the city tonight, I really feel very relaxed, the little fat man is busy before and after, his face is pleasing and he can speak well, as if he was born to do business.
And Mancheng doesn't talk much, but there is work in his eyes, the first time he went out of the stall today, after the initial discomfort, he quickly found his position, and the little fat child cooperated more and more tacitly.
As for Yao Xiaohuaer, she came to eat and walk, and now she was bored to say hello and go home by herself.
Yao Yuan was a little uneasy, and watched Xiaohua'er walk in the direction of home.
Today's children, since they are in elementary school, rarely have parents to pick them up, they all go to school and leave school independently, and in some dual-income families, children even have to cook their own meals when they go home at noon.
It's a 10-minute walk home from the night market, and it's still a busy road, so there's nothing to worry about.
retracted his gaze, and unexpectedly found that a big black face came to his side without knowing when: "Oh, Uncle Gu, why are you here again?!" ”
It was Gu Yanwang, the director of the Qianjiakou Police Station, who came.
King Gu Yan glanced at the diners on the stewed stall, his gaze stayed on Huang Xiaochuan for a moment, and his nostrils let out a sigh: "What's wrong?" I can't come? ”
"No, look at what you said, it's too late for us to welcome you!" Yao Yuan nodded and laughed.
Yao Yuan guessed in his heart that it was estimated that his father had told Gu Changan something, or it was impossible for this busy man to run to his own stew stall twice in three days.
Gu Changan didn't hide it, and asked, "When are you going to put this stall?" ”
"School starts, and as soon as the summer vacation is over, I can't do it when school starts." Yao Yuan replied with duplicity.
"When it comes to going to school, you still have to focus on learning, don't put the cart before the horse." The big black face has a lot of trouble behind his back, like an old cadre who inspects the work.
Yao Yuan laughed with him, but he was too lazy to answer.
"By the way, your father's comrades-in-arms are coming to Pingcheng and have to stay at your house, are they here now?" Gu Changan didn't know why there were so many words today.
"Coming, coming, people want to find a job in Pingcheng, they have to stay overnight for a while, and the people are very good." Yao Yuan bet that Gu Changan definitely didn't know Mancheng who came to spend the night, so he simply didn't introduce him to him.
I can't introduce it, a good veteran came to Pingcheng to look for a job, but he was fooled into going to the night market to help buy braised stew that day, which is not true.
Sure enough, the big black face just asked, and then there was no follow-up.
But after Huang Xiaochuan, who was sitting there eating, found this big black face, he seemed to become a little uncomfortable, and after seeing him and the little six next to him whispering a few words, he dropped most of the unfinished bowl of wine, pulled the two college students to get up and left, but looking at the back of Huang Xiaochuan leaving, he always felt that something was wrong with him.
Gu Changan didn't seem to be able to find any new words, so he pointed at Yao Yuan and Xie Lao'er with his fingers: "You guys! This stall can't be set up too late, and I have to close the stall early every day. ”
After speaking, without waiting for the two of them to answer, he also turned around and left.
"Inexplicable!" Looking at Gu Changan's distant back, Yao Yuan whispered in his mouth.
The time has come to half past nine, and more than half of the goods prepared for today have been sold.
According to the agreed division of labor, Yao Yuan and Mancheng finished work at half past nine and went home to rest first.
Xie Laopao'er and Hu Xiaopang'er are responsible for the second half of the second half of the late season and the finishing work.
Early the next morning, Yao Yuan and Man Cheng were responsible for preparing marinated goods and sauced meat, and pulled them down to sell in the morning market.
Xie Laopaw will take over after nine o'clock the next morning.
After this arrangement, although the two stalls take turns, the workload will not be too large, and there will be no need to invest too much time, and it will not be too tiring.
……
Macheng, who had just been discharged from the army, still retained the habit of getting up early in the army, and got up at half past five in the morning, but after getting up, he found that Yao Yuan was gone.
Knowing that he had finished washing, he waited in circles around the house for a while before Yao Yuan came back from the outside door.
"You got up so early, where did you go?" The city is full of curiosity.
"I feel less, get up early, go out for a run every day, let's set off now, eat breakfast together on the road and start work!" Yao Yuan simply washed his face, and then beckoned the city to go out.
I sell cooked food and sauce, so there is no need to go out before dawn and grab land with those who sell agricultural and sideline products.
As long as you can put the stall out at about seven o'clock, just in time for the housewives to go out to shop.
Therefore, even if he came out of the stall in the morning, Yao Yuan was not in a hurry, and first took the city to eat breakfast calmly before coming to the small courtyard.
First put a broken iron pot on the gas stove, picked up a bag of brown sugar and poured half a bag into the pot, then grabbed a handful of jasmine tea and sprinkled it on top of the brown sugar, and then put a few orange peels saved yesterday still in the pot.
Man Cheng looked at it from the side: "Why do you use brown sugar?" ”
"The brown sugar is smoked out and the color is beautiful, and the brown sugar is cheap." Yao Yuan explained.
"What about jasmine tea?"
"Jasmine tea is also cheap." Yao Yuan replied, unconcerned.
"Actually, it's the first time I've done it, let's use these smokes to see the effect first, and then adjust it at any time if it's not good." Seeing the confused appearance of the city, Yao Yuan hurriedly explained again.
All the marinated goods have been soaked in the braised soup overnight, the taste has already been eaten thoroughly, after taking out the control dry, it will be put on the big iron pot, add a lid, open the fire and smoke.
As for the elbow and pig's trotters, Yao Yuan is not going to go through this process again, just simply reheat it, take it out while it is hot, and put it on a plate and sell it directly.
As the soup heats up, the aroma fills again. The brown sugar in the smoker is caramelized, and the smoke produced carries the fragrance of tea leaves and orange peel, and the taste is also flowing out.
Finally, from a distance, not just someone's house came from a voice roaring: "Who is this? A stew that hasn't been there all day?! Who is this gluttony?! ”
The whole smoking process is very fast, the appearance of ten minutes is completed, after removing the fire, it is good to simmer for a while, the smoked meat jujube red with a rich smoky style, you don't need to taste it in your mouth, you know that it will be a good dish to accompany the wine.
Yao Yuan was proud: "Look, look, the standard of the finished product should be like this, it's no wonder that such smoked sauce and marinade can not be popular!" ”
When Man Cheng looked at Yao Yuan, there was more admiration.
The raw meat adds up to more than 40 catties, and after the marinade is done, the yield rate is about 70%, and it is very easy for two people to deal with the more than 30 catties of marinated goods.
Packed all the marinated goods into the big iron plate, and then changed the bean bag cloth on it, Yao Yuan pressed the cardboard full of selling prices behind the big iron plate, and then pedaled on three wheels and waved his hand at the city: "Come on!" Let's go! ”
Man Cheng carried a rod scale in his hand, and sat on three wheels with one leg.
The three wheels briskly drilled out of the alley and drove in the direction of Zizhu Park.
Man Cheng, who was sitting in the back, suddenly said: "Master Yao, this rod is not good for me to use, will you use it?" ”
