Double Happiness thanked Aunt Lanhua and bought some sesame oil. In the Anqing Dynasty, vegetable oil was already made. People often eat oil made from sesame and sunflower oil.
Shuangxi each bought some. In fact, animal fat is cheaper, but Shuangxi felt that vegetable oil would be better when making fried bean dregs.
After returning home, Shuangxi started making his own ramen. The task of ramen required a lot of strength. Shuangxi had small arms and legs, so it was naturally a bit difficult to complete, so he asked Shen Ziyan to help.
Let’s make the noodles first. Fortunately, this ancient noodle has a relatively high gluten content and is suitable for ramen. There is no need to add any ramen noodles.
The noodles are ready. You need to wake them up first. They cannot be used directly. Place them on a warm kang that is neither hot nor cold. Cover them with some clothes and wait for about half an hour until the noodles become soft.
.
During this time, Shuangxi asked Shen Ziyan to light a fire for him, picked up the ceramic bottle with sesame oil, and poured some oil into the already painted pot.
When the oil in the pot is just smoking, sprinkle the bean dregs, stir-fry quickly with a shovel, and add fine salt. If you want to sell noodles, naturally you can't use the coarse salt. People who have money to buy noodles are afraid.
None of them are used to coarse salt.
After all, it doesn't feel good to have sand in your mouth from time to time.
After a while, the fragrant smell came out of the pot. Shen Mo smelled the smell from a distance and came to the kitchen to watch Shuangxi making things.
After waiting for the bean dregs to be fried, Shuangxi washed the pot and added water to the pot.
Ask Shen Mo to wash the big bone and then break it into two pieces. There is bone oil in the middle of the bone. If you cook it directly, you may not be able to cook it out. But if you break it into pieces, it will be much easier.
While waiting for the water to boil slightly, Shuangxi boiled the bones and meat. As for the minced meat, Shuangxi was reluctant to put it in now. The bones would take longer to cook. If the meat had to be cooked for this long, it should be
It will go along with the soup.
When the bones were almost cooked and the noodles were ready, Shuangxi asked Shen Ziyan to start pulling the noodles according to his instructions.
"Yes, fold it over, and then pull hard." Shuangxi said while looking at the noodles in Shen Ziyan's hands intently.
Shen Ziyan also worked neatly. Although it was the first time to make this, it was a bit unsatisfactory, but when it came to the pot, although the thickness was not uniform, the shadow of ramen could be seen.
Shuangxi filled a bowl of noodles with a newly purchased rough white porcelain bowl and poured some soup on it. Finally, he put some fried bean dregs on top and smelled the fragrant smell. He couldn't help but take a bite.
It is chewy in the mouth and has the fragrant flavor of the big bone soup. It is delicious.
After waiting for all the Shen brothers to eat the noodles, Shen Mo looked at the noodles eagerly, moved two chopsticks, and was about to eat again, when a hand stretched out in front of him and took away his chopsticks.
"Third brother, don't eat too much." Shen Ziyan glanced at Shen Mo's suspiciously bulging belly and said.
After eating these noodles, even Shen Yan no longer objected to Shuangxi's idea of selling noodles.
Just do it, Shuangxi looked at the pot of soup and thought to himself, his family can't finish it, so he will sell noodles tomorrow!
The next day, Shen Ziyan went to a family named Li in the village to rent an ox cart, lifted up the Shen family's big pot, loaded it with some wood, and put together the adobe bricks used to build a temporary pot platform.
, everyone except Shen Bingxian has been involved in the majestic process.
"Mom, what are they doing?" An Yuzhu saw the Shen family in the yard going to the market like this.
Madam An's wife glared at An Yuzhu and said, "What do you care about what they do?"
"Don't interact with people like that. It will ruin your reputation." Madam An's mother-in-law warned again worriedly.
When they arrived at the market, Shuangxi was afraid that the smoke would be too great when making noodles, so he set up a stall at the gate of the city where he had just entered.
Last night, Shen Ziyan took out the pen and ink he had treasured for a long time, and wrote on a white cloth a pretext for Shuangxi, called Xi'er Noodle Shop.
By the time the simple noodle shop was set up, it was already noon.
Although the men of the Shen family have different personalities, they have one thing in common, and that is their unwillingness to let Double Happiness get a little tiring.
When Shuangxi went to light the fire, Shen Yan said coldly: "Don't light up the smoke, it will be in vain." He took the task of lighting the fire from Shuangxi's hands.
While waiting for Shuangxi to start kneading the dough, Shen Mo came over again: "Daughter-in-law, let me do it. I am stronger than you."
Even if Shuangxi does the ramen work, Shuangxi won't do it? We can only wait for Shen Ziyan.
Shuangxi had nothing to do, so he shouted loudly: "Delicious ramen is here, seven copper coins each."
"Daughter-in-law, it's too cheap. Look at Liu Ji Noodle House, they sell it for eight copper coins each." Shen Mo said with some confusion.
Shuangxi said with a smile: "Small profits but quick turnover."
The clear voice of Shuangxi attracted special attention. When everyone smelled the fragrant noodles, people who were not short of seven coppers came to try and buy a bowl.
Shuangxi filled a large bowl of noodles for his first customer, and scooped out some bean dregs fried in oil.
"It's delicious!" The first customer was full of praise. Those who were late for dinner because they were rushing to the market arrived at the gate of the city and saw this man eating so loudly, and people came to eat one after another. Already.
People have a herd mentality. When everyone saw that there were more people eating, they gathered here in unison.
Shuangxi picked a piece of meat into each bowl, and he didn't feel bad about the meat. The bit of minced meat he bought for ten copper coins yesterday was all used up in a short time.
Shuangxi gritted his teeth, took out a hundred copper coins, ran to the pork seller and cut a large piece of pork.
The fatness of this pork is fifteen copper coins per pound, and the leanness is thirteen copper coins per pound. These ancient people are different from modern people who like to eat lean meat. Ordinary country people still think that The soft and tender white meat is more fragrant!
Shuangxi fat and thin were mixed with six or seven kilograms of cut meat, carried it back, and then put it into the pot to cook.
The wood fire was very strong, and the meat was cut into small pieces. In just a quarter of an hour, it was cooked and started to be sold again.
Shuangxi was never stingy when it came to dressing up. Seeing that the man was getting stronger, he wanted to add more! Although he made less money, it brought popularity to Shuangxi.
"Pretend a little more for me," said a big man in shabby clothes.
Shuangxi responded with a crisp voice: "No problem! Sit down and wait for a while." Shuangxi has no discrimination against such shabby people. The people who come here to eat noodles are all customers. Sitting here, he has the obligation to take care of him. good.
If there were really people who ate the King's meal without paying, it would be good to say that the Shen brothers would have caught it and warned them, so as to scare the monkeys.
But looking at the three strong laborers of the Shen family brothers here, how could anyone come to eat the King's meal without opening their eyes?
There is a lot of noodles here, it is filling, and it is very fragrant. There is also that strange noodle, which is actually a long one, and the winnings are also good! Many people who wanted to dine in the town heard about it and came here.
The sales at Double Happiness are booming, but the boss at Liu Ji Noodle Shop is furious!
"What did you say? The little girl who came to eat noodles that day also opened a noodle shop?" The boss Liu Ba, with a fat face, looked at Fuzi with a ferocious look.
Fuzi secretly wiped his sweat with his sleeve. The boss sent him out to investigate why there were so few people coming to eat noodles today. When he came back and told the truth, he was scolded for nothing.
If it weren't for the little wages, who would be willing to work for Liu Bawang?
Here in Shuangxi, I don’t know at this moment that Liu Ji Noodle House has secretly grudged Shuangxi and his family.
In fact, Shuangxi understood that selling noodles was probably not a long-term solution. Shuangxi just wanted to save some money and do something else.
One look at Liu Ji Noodle House, which is unique in the market, and you will know that this generation has been dominant for many years. If your own family takes away other people's business, the Shen family, which has no foundation here, will not be able to defeat Liu Ji Noodle House.
Of course, Double Happiness's competitor is the Liu Ji Noodle House, and restaurants like those don't bother to compete with small stalls like this.
I'm afraid that Shuangxi's income from selling one month's worth of noodles is not as good as what other people earn in one day.
Shuangxi thought, this market only has more people on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, because on this day, people from the surrounding villages will come to buy, sell and exchange things. In addition to those merchants who have lived here for a long time, there are also
There are a lot of merchants coming, and Liu Ji Noodle House shouldn't be able to handle so many customers at this time. We don't want to compete with Liu Ji. We only have these two days a month, so we can earn a little bit.
It's just that Shuangxi didn't expect that Liu Ji Noodle Shop would be so restless. It had just opened here and it wasn't dark yet. From noon to afternoon, it only took half a day.
Liu Ba actually led a group of people to Xi'er Noodle Shop.
When the customers saw Liu Ba coming, they naturally understood what was going on. Those who wanted to watch the excitement gathered around, while those who were afraid quietly dispersed.
In fact, under the leadership of Liu Yi, the officials in Qingshi Town can be considered honest, and they don't charge any fees, but this bully is not within Liu Yi's jurisdiction.
Those officials didn't pay much attention to what was happening in the market, so they created a scene where bullies were running rampant.
Liu Ba brought his three brothers and four sons. The seven strong men of this family blocked the Shen brothers and Shuangxi inside.
Shen Ziyan took a step forward, but before he could ask any questions, Liu Ba said angrily: "You secretly learned the recipe of our noodle shop and opened a noodle shop here! Why don't you tell me clearly what's going on? Otherwise, I will
Don’t even think about letting this matter go!”
The moment Shuangxi saw Liu Ba, he understood what was going on. This was a monopoly! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support.
