Jiang Miao didn't plan to keep the potatoes she bought. She saved the seeds and planned to make the rest into food and sell them.
Thinking of modern French fries, potato chips, and mashed potatoes... Jiang Miao was eager to try it.
She decided to make fried potato chips and mace potatoes today. These two snacks could not be left overnight and had to be made fresh on the same day. Jiang Miao and Shen Yingxue got up before dawn.
She yawned, washed and peeled the potatoes, cut them into evenly thin slices and washed them several times in water to wash off the starch. Blanch the washed potato slices and put them in a frying pan until they were golden on both sides.
, until the texture becomes crispy.
She only made spicy potato chips. The previous snacks were all sweet and sour. This was the first time she made spicy snacks. She didn’t know if the ladies could get used to them, so Jiang Miao didn’t sprinkle too much.
seasoning.
It would be great if there were tomatoes. She could make tomato-flavored ones, but with the urine of this fictional dynasty, maybe she would really be able to find tomatoes in the near future.
Langya potatoes are more troublesome. In the past, the wave knife that could be bought at roadside stalls had to be customized in ancient times. Without the tools, Jiang Miao had to make do with potato sticks.
The soul of Wolf Tooth Potatoes lies in the sauce. Fry the cut potato strips in a hot pan until the surface is golden brown. After taking it out of the pan, sprinkle with chili powder, cumin, white sesame seeds, green onions and other seasonings. The flavor is fragrant and spicy and delicious.
.
It is better to eat the wolf tooth potatoes while they are hot. Jiang Miao prepared them at home and they were cold when they were brought to the shop. The taste was reduced by half, but it was still a delicacy for young ladies who were trying spicy food for the first time.
“So spicy and delicious!”
The little ladies kept sucking in the food because it was so spicy in their mouths, but they still couldn't stop eating.
"Everything Mrs. Jiang makes is delicious. I've gained weight recently."
This little lady was a little chubby. She frowned and looked troubled. Jiang Miao chuckled. Women of all ages love beauty. They want to eat as much as they want, but are afraid of getting fat.
"Then Madam, you can try hawthorn tea. Long-term drinking can not only clear the intestines, but also improve complexion and beautify the face."
Jiang Miao took out an exquisite box from the shelf and handed it to her, and the young lady took it happily.
"Then let me try." She gets fat easily and can't keep her mouth shut, so this hawthorn tea seems to be specially prepared for her.
"I want a box too..."
"I want it too!"
There are all the young ladies present who are not afraid of getting fat. When they hear that there are good things that can help lose weight, how can they let it go?
More than a dozen boxes of hawthorn tea were swept away. Jiang Miao couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the ladies and promised to get new ones as soon as possible.
Fried potato chips and mace potatoes were selling like hot cakes, and many customers queued up but couldn't get them. They complained about why Jiang Miao didn't make more. Jiang Miao smiled helplessly. She and Shen Yingxue were really busy, so they could only limit the amount every day.
"Mrs. Jiang's business is really good."
Xu Zilan watched her busy outside and didn't bother her. She didn't come in until all the customers were gone.
"Ms. Xu?" Jiang Miao looked surprised.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you here today?"
Xu Zilan nodded slightly, with a little irritation on her brows. She had reached the age of looking at others. Recently, Xu Zilan was detained at home by Xu's mother every day to learn the rules, which made her very annoyed to death.
As soon as she received Xu Ziwen's letter, she found an excuse to come out.
Xu Zilan told Jiang Miao the contents of the letter with a complicated look on her face. Her brother, a good-for-nothing, even wrote a letter specifically because of his stutter. She felt ashamed when she said these words.
Jiang Miao couldn't help but smile. Shen Yanqing looked at the clear breeze and bright moon. He didn't like the fireworks of the world, but everyone around him was a foodie.
"It doesn't matter if it's inconvenient for Madam Jiang. If he can't eat it, he'll just give it up."
Xu Zilan knew how good the business of Jiang Miao's dim sum shop was, so there was no need to spare her hands to accommodate Xu Ziwen.
"It can be done, but you won't make too much at a time, and you can only make some food that can last." Jiang Miao agreed. The more people like the dim sum, the happier she will be, and the greater the success of opening a shop in the capital in the future. .
"Then I'll trouble Madam Jiang." Xu Zilan gave Jiang Miao a deposit of ten taels of silver and asked Jiang Miao to watch the work. She happily accepted it. Anyway, she would send it to Shen Yanqing every month. Xu Ziwen could just make more of it.
The dim sum shop makes money, Shen Yingxue saved five taels of silver in ten days, and Dafang couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.
Wang hesitated for several days and finally couldn't help but mention it to Jiang Miao.
"Miaoya..." Jiang Miao was cutting hawthorn slices when Wang came over with a confused look on her face.
"Is something wrong, sister-in-law?" She put down her work and turned around to ask.
Wang wrung her fingers, murmured at the corners of her mouth, and lowered her eyes, not daring to look at her.
"Can I come over and help with the dim sum business?" Boss Shen and Dalang of Dafang's shop can both be busy. She wants to work more to pay off Jiang Miao's debt as soon as possible.
"That's it?" Jiang Miao breathed a sigh of relief. With the solemn expression on Wang's face, she thought something had happened.
"Okay, I'm already short of manpower, and my sister-in-law can't help but help me."
"Do you agree?" Ms. Wang suddenly raised her head with a look of disbelief. She had been struggling with this matter for many days, but Jiang Miao agreed so easily.
Jiang Miao is funny. Ms. Wang is too thoughtful and always makes things complicated. Her pastry shop will grow bigger and bigger in the future, and sooner or later she will have to hire help. Rather than looking for outsiders, it is better to let her family help.
"Well, the salary is the same as that of the eldest sister, 10% of the day's income."
"Okay, thank you Miaoya."
Mrs. Wang was almost moved to tears. She had done so many wrong things, and no one in the old Shen family had ever complained about her. Jiang Miao had even helped her a lot. She would remember these kindnesses in her heart.
After Mrs. Zhang found out, she even praised Jiang Miao. Although the old Shen family was getting better and better, the conditions of each house were different.
The third bedroom has a bookstore, and the snack shop earns the most money. The second bedroom has craftsmanship, and the monthly income is not bad. Shen Laoer also plans to open a toy shop.
Only Dafang earns a lot every month through hard work, but it is not enough compared with his two younger brothers.
Mrs. Zhang and Mr. Shen often worry about them privately, but they each have their own destiny, and they can't force it.
The big house has a stable life and needs to be taken care of in old age. They just need to help more in the future.
Jiang Miao first taught Wang how to make spike potatoes. After she learned how to do it, she could sell them in the Shen family's shop. This method was relatively simple, and Wang learned it after trying it twice.
Seasonings and oil are relatively expensive, and the potatoes are eaten fresh. Jiang Miao priced the spiked potatoes at twenty cents. Wang was originally worried that they would not be able to sell them. After all, a portion of duck blood vermicelli cost two cents, but she underestimated The allure of wolf tooth potatoes.
The hot and spicy smell spread far and wide, and all the customers passing by wanted to come in and buy one. Moreover, the people in the east of the city were relatively wealthy, and they could even afford twenty coins.
When I was counting the money at night, I saw that Langya Potatoes sold for one or two silver a day, twice as much as duck blood vermicelli soup.
Mrs. Wang was extremely excited, "This food is really profitable!"
Now, after helping Jiang Miao make snacks every day, she goes back to the Shen family's shop to set up a stall, earning two wages a day. Mrs. Wang has calculated that it won't be long before she can pay back all the money she owes.
