Chapter 5 Where to buy a steamer
She entered Shen Jing'an's door, Shen Jing'an had just finished copying one, and was pulling out the paper and putting it aside to dry, preparing to copy another one.
Lin Yan stared at him: "Xianggong seems to have not been to the academy for a long time?" ”
Shen Jingan was stunned.
Indeed, since his father died of illness, he has never been there.
Lin Yan said: "Xianggong is still young, are you going to copy books like this for the rest of your life?" ”
Backwards?
When he was a young student, he also thought about it.
But since his father left, they owe too much debt, and his grandmother comes to them every now and then to make some trouble, and life is a mess, where does he dare to think about any ambition?
Lin Yan saw that he was silent, and he already knew that he was unwilling to do this.
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The communication between the original owner and Shen Jing'an was too little.
The original owner is a shy person, and he has helped the Huang family with chores for two months after marrying, and Shen Jingan has been copying books day and night, the two can be described as nodding friends, and it is common to not say a word for a few days.
Thinking of this, Lin Yan couldn't help but glance at Shen Jingan again.
Without knowing her at all, it is really bold to be able to take out half of the money to support her business in the morning.
She smiled and invited people out of the room: "Let's go, if you don't stew the noodles, it won't taste good." ”
Lin Yan's smile seemed to have magic power, and Shen Jingan couldn't help but smile lightly and responded: "Okay." ”
He walked ahead, the sunset sprinkled on his white-washed robe, and he walked unfast, his back straight.
Lin Yan looked at him from behind, although Shen Jing'an looked no different from ordinary people on the surface, but if he looked closely, he was indeed much thinner than ordinary people, and his face was not good, and he was amazingly white.
When he was about to get to the dining table, Lin Yan heard him say softly: "At the end of last year, I told my father that I wanted to try this year's county exam, and it would be good to try my luck." ”
Who knows, when it came to the county test, he was seriously ill and almost died because of a spring cold.
And his father, in order to earn money for his medicine, ran around, but as a result, he was still alive, but his father rolled down the mountain and didn't even survive the spring.
When Shen Jing'an said this, he avoided the Huang family.
Lin Yan also whispered: "It's just summer now, and there is still nearly a year before the next county test, so Xianggong might as well prepare first?" ”
Shen Jing'an nodded, and when he saw that Huang had brought the chopsticks, he didn't continue.
The lack of broth and ingredients, and the overly simple noodles, once again amazed Huang and Shen Jing'an.
Although there is no rule of not saying anything, the two people opposite are so eager to eat that they want to bury their heads in the bowl.
After eating noodles, the kitchen was cleaned again, and everyone freshened up again, and the night was dark.
Lin Yan squatted in the kitchen, pondered the plan in his heart again, soaked two catties of red beans, and then cleaned up and went back to the house to sleep.
On the second day, Lin Yan got up early in the morning, boiled porridge in the kitchen, washed the beans and steamed them in the rice retort, and then went to see the old noodles again.
It was about that the sugar here was not good enough, and the fermentation of the old noodles was not complete enough, Lin Yan looked at it carefully for a while, and regretfully resealed it, so he could only wait for tomorrow to make steamed buns.
In fact, if she wants her to say that although the business of meatloaf is good, she is more inclined to sell steamed buns, and the craft of making noodles is enough for her to make money first.
Lin Yan bought meat, and then entered the shop with Huang and prepared to sell pancakes.
This time, Uncle Wang from the opposite shop arrived early.
He arrived unusually early, Lin Yan opened the door of the shop, he hurriedly came over, and when he saw Lin Yan in the face, he said with a flattering smile: "Yesterday's meatloaf was so fragrant, your aunt, from morning to night, you have to let me buy her a piece to taste today!" ”
Lin Yan smiled when he heard this: "It will take a long time for this cake to come out, Uncle Wang might as well go home and wait, and I'll send it over after a while?" ”
Uncle Wang hurriedly waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, it's still early, and there's no business, I'll just wait here." ”
So, he stared at the dough without blinking.
After the noodles were reconciled, Lin Yan found a lid and put it aside to wake up, at this time Huang had already chopped the meat, and called Lin Yan to go over to season it.
Uncle Wang watched Lin Yan put the fat meat in the pot and boil the oil, added salt and a little sugar to the meat, a few teaspoons of water, and chopped green onions, etc., and then stirred vigorously.
The meat is adjusted and marinated to taste, and Huang also processed the beans, according to the amount of sugar added yesterday, the red beans were carefully crushed and fluffy.
After the oil was boiled and put in a basin, Lin Yan asked Uncle Wang if he needed a few cakes.
Uncle Wang came back to his senses at this time, and stretched out his finger embarrassedly: "A meatloaf." ”
After thinking about it, he felt embarrassed again, and said busily: "I want a bean paste." ”
When Lin Yan fried the cake, he hurriedly took it, and then ran back quickly.
Zheng was already waiting anxiously on the side, and Uncle Wang carefully tore the two cakes in half and tasted them carefully with his wife.
Zheng has been coveting this cake since yesterday, because he was distressed about the money and was not willing to buy it, his brain couldn't turn for a while, and the whole thing in his mind was that the shops on the opposite side were ready to be sold, how did he suddenly have this craft and develop it?
She had no sleep all night, tossing and turning, and when she got the bread, she hurriedly asked, "Have you looked carefully?" Do you remember how to do it? ”
Uncle Wang nodded hurriedly: "Remember, it's just a few steps, it's not difficult." ”
No one knows what the Wang family is thinking.
Probably because of the fame of the first day, the business on the second day was even better than the first day. It didn't take long for Lin Yan and Huang to sell two catties of meat and two catties of beans again, still with an income of about six hundred copper plates.
Lin Yan kept three cakes as usual, and this time, when the Huang family was distressed, all the pieces left were filled with meat.
It's been three days, and she hasn't eaten a single bite of meat, and she's hungry!
Lin Yan, who was hungry, ate meatloaf at noon, then went to see her old noodles again, and estimated that she should be able to make steamed buns on the second day, only to remember that there was no steamer or anything at home, there was a rice retort, steaming red beans was okay, but steaming buns was not suitable, and it was too small.
Lin Yan was suddenly worried, and hurriedly went to find the Huang family and asked her where to buy the steamer.
How does this Huang know? She'd never heard of it.
Huang didn't know when he asked, but Shen Jingan became curious: "What do you want this steamer for?" ”
Lin Yan publicized her white, chubby, fluffy, soft and chewy big white buns, and said, and couldn't help sighing: "When you bite into it, the big meat filling inside is steamed out of juice, tender, salty, fresh and delicious, and it can't be more delicious!" ”
Hearing this, it was indeed delicious, and Shen Jingan hit her: "Too much meat, I'm afraid there won't be many people who buy it." ”
After all, the price of meat is too expensive, and if a bun really contains a big spoonful of meat, the price will definitely not be low.
Lin Yan waved his hand indifferently: "You can also wrap beans, called bean buns, or you can wrap nothing at all, make steamed buns, or add a little salt and green onions, and it will become a flower roll...... There are so many patterns of buns! ”
