Author: Zhou Ji’s Nine-Life Sick Cat
Shui Qing said to Lao Li and Lin Changyou: "Uncle, are you going to eat with me at noon?"
Lin Changyou smiled and shook his head: "No, Xiaolan asked me to pick up my in-laws and go back to Lexing to eat together. We will go back to the department store opposite and take the bus back."
He Li glanced at the wall clock: "Uncle Li, Uncle Lin, it's almost twelve o'clock, you go back to eat first."
The lunch box she brought was eaten hot at Shuiqing's house at noon.
Lao Li nodded: "Okay, let's go back and have lunch before we come back."
Lao Li and Lin Changyou waited for the bus and got off at the vehicle depot. As soon as they reached the eucalyptus forest, they saw Lin Lan coming on a bicycle.
Lin Changyou smiled and said: "Look, Xiaolan can't wait to teach us."
Lao Li nodded and waved to Lin Lan: "You go back first, we will walk back slowly."
"Let's go together." Lin Lan stopped the car, waited for the two of them to get closer, and walked back together, "Mom steamed the hooves, fried the salt-fried pork, and made cold side dishes. There is also a bottle of wine at home, you can drink it later.
point."
Lao Li waved his hand: "If you don't drink, I have to go to the shop after dinner."
Lin Lan said: "You guys have a rest at home in the afternoon, and I'll just go to the shop and watch."
Lin Changyou told Lin Lan about the second-rate people who came to make trouble in the shop: "Business is not easy to do. I heard from Shui Qing that there are still second-rate people who don't pay for their meals."
Lao Li said with a smile: "Xiang Yang had expected this a long time ago. He prepared a few sticks and placed them on the edge of the counter. He also asked Dingbang and Xiuyun to come to the shop after get off work. Little did he know that a second-rate man would come to make trouble as soon as he left."
Lin Lan angrily said: "These pests will be caught and imprisoned sooner or later."
I thought to myself: Let them run rampant for two years, then we will see if they still dare to come out to collect protection money and cause trouble everywhere.
The three of them talked and returned home. When Wu Shufen saw the three of them coming back, she hurriedly put the dishes on the table.
After dinner, Lao Li took Lin Changyou to the shop on his bicycle, but those second-rate men never came back.
Lin Lan and Qiaohui went to the eucalyptus forest together and set up a stall. She went to Hou Gui and said, "Brother Hou, do you have butter and marshmallows at home?"
Hou Gui smiled and said: "We have marshmallows, but few people want butter. If you want me to buy it for you."
Lin Lan smiled and nodded: "Okay, first buy me a hundred pounds of butter, and send two hundred pounds of marshmallows to my house, as well as peanuts and black sesame seeds."
Hou Gui happily took a note and wrote down: "Sister Zhou stopped setting up a stall to sell things after she opened her shop. Your family also opened a shop, so why do you set up a stall?"
Lin Lan smiled and said: "I still like to do my own business, let Xiang Yang take care of the shop."
Li Wu interjected from the side: "Xiao Lin, after we are done with the busy work, we will go to your house to buy New Year's goods. You should give us more discounts!"
Lin Lan nodded cheerfully: "Don't worry, I'll give you a big discount."
Everyone came together and said that when the busy work is over, they will go to Lin Lan's house to buy new clothes for the New Year.
Lin Lan went to Li Wuna to buy glutinous rice, refined flour, milk powder, and raisins, and asked him to send them to Lexing to prepare saqima and rice cakes.
I went home and went to Li Guizhi to buy dozens of kilograms of corn, and asked her to deliver the maltose quickly.
Li Guizhi nodded repeatedly and pulled Lin Lan to sit down: "Xiao Lin, your brother Zhang and I want to ask you something."
Lin Lan looked at the couple's embarrassed looks and thought they wanted to borrow money. Thinking that the couple had good character, she smiled and said, "Okay, let me hear what you have to say."
Zhang Rongqing said: "Xiao Lin, to tell you the truth, thanks to your help this year we paid off our family's debts and saved more than two hundred."
"Guizhi and I saw that your business was booming, and we started to think about it, so we shamelessly went to find you. We also think your idea is good, but the capital is too little."
"We have been thinking about it for a long time. We want to learn how to fry potatoes from you and go to the glass factory to fry them and sell them. We won't learn in vain. We will pay for the tuition and buy all the seasonings from you."
Li Guizhi added: "We will not go to the silk factory to compete with Meihua for business and make it difficult for you." After the couple finished speaking, they looked at her uneasily.
Lin Lan thought for a while and felt that the technical content of fried potatoes was not very high. People with a discerning eye could see it twice and then go home and try to make it twice, so she nodded and agreed.
Li Guizhi and his wife rubbed their hands happily and said gratefully: "Xiao Lin, thank you so much, I will give you the tuition fee."
"Sister Li, you don't have to go get your tuition fees. I won't take them if you take them."
Lin Lan pulled her and looked at the two of them and said sincerely, "As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Thank you for taking care of me and Douzi."
Fried potatoes are very simple, I will tell you the method, you will learn it after trying it twice at home."
"Xiao Lin, you are really a noble person in our family..." Li Guizhi and Zhang Rongqing looked at Lin Lan, so grateful that he didn't know what to say.
Lin Lan hurriedly said: "Sister Li, Brother Zhang, I can't afford to be a noble person, and the neighbors next door get along well with each other and take care of each other."
Li Guizhi pulled Zhang Rongqing and bowed to her: "Thank you Xiao Lin, we didn't do you any favors. I used to talk to you behind Zhang Yazhen's back. Later I asked you to sell beans. You didn't hold grudges and asked us to collect the beans.
…”
"Sister Li, please stop saying that," Lin Lan quickly interrupted her, "Bring me a pen and paper, and I'll teach you how to do it."
"Okay." Zhang Rongqing happily went to get a pen and paper and wrote down what Lin Lan told them word for word.
Lin Lan said: "You all have soybeans and peppercorns. If you don't have aniseed, go to my house to buy it."
"Okay, thank you, thank you." The couple happily sent Lin Lan out and delivered the corn to their home.
Lin Lan ground the corn finely and settled it overnight, took out the corn starch, poured it into a dustpan and put it on the oven to dry, then rolled it out with a rolling pin, spread it out in the dustpan and let it dry on the oven.
Early the next morning, Wu Shuqin left Tong Xinglan behind and said goodbye to go home.
Lin Lan checked the cornstarch on the oven and saw that it had dried. He took Lin Yuezhen with him, sifted the flour, added baking powder, milk powder, eggs and a few egg yolks and stirred evenly.
Knead the dough, cover it in a porcelain basin and let it rest for half an hour. Take out the dough and use a rolling pin to roll it into a thin dough. Cut the dough into dough sheets, fold them up and cut them into noodles.
Sprinkle some cornstarch on the noodles and shake them to prevent the noodles from sticking together, then pour it into a sieve to remove excess cornstarch.
Pour oil into the pot, heat the oil until shrimp eyes appear, pour in the noodles, fry until golden brown, use a slotted spoon to drain the oil into a basin.
Place a piece of oil paper on a baking pan in advance, add honey, water, and maltose to a cold oil pan and simmer over low heat until thickened, pour in the fried noodles and stir evenly.
Scoop the fried thin strips into the baking pan, sprinkle in black sesame seeds and raisins, mix well, and then press tightly with a wooden spatula.
Put another piece of oil paper on top, use a rolling pin to press it back and forth, cut it into small pieces, golden color, soft, sweet and delicious Saqima is ready.
