When she feels like she's all rinsed, she leaves the jar upside down to dry and waits for it to dry tomorrow before using it.

Then, she can start her money-making plan.

Speaking of which, with the small fish sent by Wang Qu today, she has accumulated two large buckets of dried fish, compared with the previous small fight, this time the number of dried small fish has directly increased several times, and the amount of work has also increased several times.

Zheng Wan looked at so many small fish, she even wondered if Wang Qu and the others were confused by the grilled fish that day, and specially got a lot of small fish for her, otherwise how to explain the sudden increase in quantity.

But the upside is that she's definitely going to be able to make more money.

The dried small fish that were dried in the previous time can be used directly this time, but the one delivered today can only use a troublesome method like the first time - roasting.

So, at noon on this day, as long as people passing by Zheng Wan's yard, they can smell a strong umami smell, and even spread to other spaces.

Zhao Qingyou just heard someone say that Zheng Wan was eating next to his room again, so he quickly finished his work and hurried to Zheng Wan's residence.

As soon as she got closer, she saw Zheng Wan sitting on a stool, standing in front of the stove, and the familiar smell emanated from the covered wok in front of Zheng Wan.

As soon as she smelled it, she knew that Zheng Wan must be doing the small dried fish and big business that she had in mind.

Immediately approached, and said with a hint of anger in his tone: "Lady, didn't you say it before? My son can be regarded as your helper in trading, how can you work secretly by yourself? Forget about the people under you, but I'm still worried about the high wages of my mother. ”

Zheng Wan immediately turned his head when he heard the sound, looked at Zhao Qingyou's smiling face, immediately showed a bright smile, and said embarrassedly:

"I forgot when I was busy, it's not too late for my sister to come now, my son is just making the small dried fish I made last time, my sister has experience, and she can help."

"Forget it this time, don't leave anyone alone next time."

"Naturally, Sister is such a careful person, she doesn't remember the loss of her son."

Zhao Qingyou said that it was not empty words to help, he directly snatched the chopsticks in Zheng Wan's hand into his own hand, and then sat directly in Zheng Wan's original position, and according to his previous experience, he began to turn over the small fish in the wok.

It looked like he was the owner of this place, Zheng Wan smiled helplessly when he saw this, and his behavior seemed to really annoy Zhao Qingyou.

She looked as if there was no place for herself, and quickly explained:

"Sister, you should look at the dried fish here first, and then prepare other materials for making the dried fish."

After speaking, she didn't hear any voice from Zhao Qingyou, she couldn't cry or laugh a little, she didn't expect that this would make Zhao Qingyou so angry.

However, she didn't react when she looked at the other party, which was a tacit approval of her behavior.

So she turned around and walked to the room, this time she was going to make spicy dried fish, honey dried fish and spiced fish, as for the other flavors of the postponement, this is also a choice made after understanding the tastes of the people.

According to her guess, the favorite of people at this time should be dried fish with honey sauce, and dried spiced fish also has its own way out.

The only thing she needs to put a little effort into is the spicy dried fish, after all, people don't eat peppers at the time, and the development of new flavors is always so difficult.

Thinking of this, Zheng Wan's action in selecting ingredients became faster and faster, and after taking the ingredients she needed, she quickly went out and sat next to the angry Zhao Qingyou with a stool.

After that, with the efforts of two skilled workers, all the small dried fish were processed.

Sitting here with all of you is like stepping into a world of umami.

Zhao Qingyou saw that the time was not early, and he didn't have time to get angry with Zheng Wan, so he hurriedly reminded:

"Don't do so much work by yourself, wait for dinner, and then come to help and act together."

It's really a small dried fish close to the same place, and she can't think of how Zheng Wan can finish it alone.

Zheng Wan agreed with a smile: "That's natural, I will pay attention to my body, and I will definitely not get tired." Sister, go to the back kitchen, if she is caught by Chef Liu, she will be at a disadvantage and will not be able to please her. ”

Perhaps Zhao Qingyou also thought of Liu Xingyan, who had been particularly irritable recently, and immediately stood up and repeatedly reminded Zheng Wan not to work too hard, before hurriedly trotting towards the position of the public chef.

Zheng Wan, who continued to stay in place, looked at the small dried fish in one place, as if looking at a big coin, revealing obsessive little eyes.

She is now a person in debt, this kind of person is not suitable for any rest, only hard work can lead to a happy life.

After Zheng Wan cheered himself up, he quickly took action.

Take out the cranberry oil you bought, pour it into a clean wok, and use high heat to continuously increase its temperature to eliminate the odor hidden in it.

Seeing that black smoke began to come out of the oil surface, she immediately fanned the wind with her hand, fanned the smoke to her face, took a puff, felt the smell disappear, and immediately took the wok.

Scoop out two-thirds of the oil and set it aside for the other small dried fish, then put the wok back on the stove.

Add shallots, coriander, shallots, star anise and bay leaves, and simmer over low heat until the surface of the spices is golden brown and the aromatic substances inside are all fused in the oil.

After taking it out, Zheng Wan felt the temperature at this time with the palm of his hand, and noticed that it was a little high, so he temporarily stopped all movements.

When the temperature is right, she immediately adds her own ground chili powder to it, a little more coarse and a little less fine.

Then stir quickly to promote the oil temperature to even out and prevent the paprika from being fried.

Smelling the familiar fragrance coming from the tip of her nose, she couldn't help but take a deep breath, she felt that even if it was just the way it was now, this chili oil would be delicious, let alone mixed with dried fish, that kind of taste must be excellent.

Seeing that the original yellow cranberry oil was dyed an attractive red by the chili peppers, she quickly added salt, soy sauce, shrimp skin powder, and white sesame seeds to it, and stirred well.

Now you can pour the dried fish that she and Zhao Qingyou worked so hard to make into the wok.

Looking at the small dried fish that was originally yellow-brown, gradually turning red with chili oil, the appetite suddenly increases, and with the white sesame seeds dotted in between, it is delicious to look at, not to mention the spicy taste that permeates the air at this time, and the umami that has a slightly weaker sense of existence.

The next two small dried fish are also a bit similar, and the honey dried fish omits the fried spices, but replaces them with fried sugar.

Zheng Wan found that if she simply added sugar to the dried fish, she would lose the golden red color that flowed on the surface of the dried fish, and it was necessary to add a link in order to sell better.

Therefore, the dried honey fish is covered with a charming golden red color on its surface, and it is decorated with white sesame seeds, which is full of color and flavor.

The spiced dried fish is just as delicious, with a more yellow color and a charming blend of its own flavor all the time.

Prepare these small dried fish, and the time is almost waiting for dinner.

Zheng Wan glanced up at the sky and decided to stew her big bones first, otherwise she would really worry that those bones would stink after a long time.

When she looked at the bones again in the bright light, she couldn't help but marvel that these four bones would slip even if a mosquito stood on them, and she really couldn't imagine how the butcher owner could pick these bones so cleanly.

Except for the part close to the joint, there is still a little minced meat, and the other parts are really cleaner than a dog's gnaw, and the admiration for the boss is like a surging river.

Thinking that he was eating bone marrow, and the price was not expensive, Zheng Wan threw away the surprise in his heart.

In order to make it more convenient when eating, before blanching, she first cracked the middle part of the bone with the back of a knife so that it would not break, but also left a gap so that the blood and water inside could flow out smoothly.

Then there is the familiar three-piece blanching set, after blanching, the bones are mixed with water and boiled together in a wok.

After putting it in the water, Zheng Wan immediately removed the firewood, leaving only the remaining charcoal fire inside to continue to heat.

Mainly worried that if no one looks, there will be a risk of fire, she looked at the dried fish that had just been made, and decided to take advantage of the time before the curfew to quickly take out her small dried fish and trade it to see how the market reacted.

Take out the basket you got from the West Market, separate it in three places with oiled paper, and cover it with leaves.

Carrying his proud work, Zheng Wan went out happily.

As soon as they opened the door, Wang Cheng and Li Xiang smelled a strong fragrance, pungent but attractive, and even smelled a sweet smell.

When I turned my head to look, I found that it was Zheng Wan who was carrying a basket of unknown things out of the house, and his eyes unconsciously showed curiosity and eagerness.

Zheng Wan watched the synchronized movements of the two gods, and only felt a little funny.

Hurriedly took out the small dried fish that he had prepared for the two of them, and said:

"This is a small dried fish specially prepared for the two Langjun, not a valuable thing, but a snack made by himself. is to thank the two Lang Jun for their help to the little girl, and the two of them must not refuse. ”

Originally, the two of them didn't accept any thank-you gifts, and that little favor was not enough to worry about.

But when Zheng Wan said that he made the snack, he couldn't say anything if he refused, and the two were really curious about this small dried fish that exuded a charming fragrance.

Wang Cheng embarrassedly took the three small paper bags handed by Zheng Wan, and said:

"In the future, if the lady needs the help of our brothers, even if she says it, the two of us are still clear about the situation in the capital water supervisor and the vicinity."

Zheng Wan also didn't guarantee that he would not need help in the future, so he said with a smile:

"Then thank you two Langjun. Each package of small fish in this is a taste, with spicy, honey and spice, spicy dried fish with pepper added to it, the taste is particularly stimulating, pay attention to the two Langjun when eating. ”

With that, he took his basket and continued to walk towards the familiar market.

The two people who stayed at the door glanced at each other, quickly closed the back door, and tacitly opened the three oil paper bags in their hands.

Looking at the tempting small dried fish in front of them, the two of them quickly made a move.

Wang Cheng picked out the spicy dried fish specially reminded by Zheng Wan, although he didn't know what the taste was before eating it, but the moment he entered it, he felt that his whole soul was sublimated.

The spicy flavor flows along with the fat flowing on the dried fish, and instantly invades the mouth, bringing a pungent taste that has never been experienced before.

To prevent injury to the mouth, the brain automatically sends out saliva secretions in an attempt to soften the spicy stimulation of chili peppers.

But at this time, Wang Cheng didn't care about anything else, he knew that this smell brought a different kind of enjoyment to his body, so he hurriedly chewed on the small dried fish in his mouth.

After the dried fish is roasted or dried in the sun, the meat inside gradually tightens, and every time you chew, the presence of shredded meat is particularly strong, and the spice aroma that perfectly blends into the oil and the white sesame seeds are garnished.

In one bite, not only the spicy chili pepper, but also the rich compound fragrance, the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes.

He couldn't help but sigh: "If you can have a bowl of good wine at this time, that taste!" ”

Li Xiang glanced at his friend who was still daydreaming, and continued to chew the small dried fish in his mouth, he ate the honey dried fish, sweet and crispy, he couldn't satisfy one bite at a time, he took a big bite directly, and a pack of small dried fish consumed most of it.

When Wang Cheng realized that Li Xiang was secretly feasting on his back, he hurriedly reached out to grab the dried honey fish in Li Xiang's hand, and said angrily:

"You eat so much! I haven't tasted the taste in your hand yet, no, hurry up and take it, and I want to eat a few bites! ”

"Then exchange yours."

So, at the back door of the capital water supervisor, the two began to fight over the distribution of small dried fish.

Later, in order to get the right to distribute small dried fish, there was a literary fight.

On the other side, after Zheng Wan left the capital water prison, he walked quickly to the market.

Because it is close to dusk, there are very few people in the market, and there is no need to spend even the booth fee, so you can set up a stall wherever you want.

As soon as she bought the bamboo leaves she needed and placed the basket on a high place, she saw a man walking in her direction.

Because her back was to the sun, she couldn't see the faces of the people who came at the first time.

The other party saw her clearly, and shouted happily: "Little lady! You can be regarded as coming back, do you know how many times you have traveled back and forth here for this little dried fish? ”

A familiar voice came, and Zheng Wan immediately recognized that this person should be the first Lang Jun to cheer when she first sold dried small fish.

If it weren't for his brave attempts at the time, it would not have been possible to sell out so quickly.

Hearing the other party say that she has been looking for herself these days, she quickly explained with a smile:

"But let Lang Jun wait, there is something at home these days, and he didn't have time to set up a stall. Today, too, while the curfew is not yet reached, I came to the market to see how it is going. ”

Liu Xunjiang felt the fragrance that kept pouring in from the tip of his nose, and he didn't have time to ask Zheng Wan why he didn't set up a stall before, so he asked curiously:

"What spices did the lady add to the small dried fish this time? It smells and feels different from the previous ones. ”
