Although there are not many things, there are many kinds, and both sides of the back seat of Li Ke's bicycle are full.
It was already dark when he got home, so Li Ke first boiled red oil and mixed the marinade, then cleaned the cow's guts and trimmed the nails of the chicken feet.
As soon as Chen Xing returned home, he smelled the fragrance all over the courtyard. He looked at the warm and bright lights in the kitchen and saw a slender figure busy at work.
"It smells so good. What have you done?" Chen Xingyi said, about to grab it.
Bang, Li Ke knocked off his hand and said, "Go wash your hands, you're not good at hygiene."
"So cruel." Chen Xingyi felt aggrieved and went to wash his hands.
The husband and wife's lung slices were made early and were already delicious. Li Ke took out a little of each, sliced them, put them on a plate, and served them to him.
Chen Xing picked up a pair of chopsticks. It was spicy and fragrant, spicy but also sweet and slightly sour. The various flavors were mixed together, and the taste was very rich.
"How is it? How is it? Li Ke asked anxiously. After all, he is the first taster.
"It's delicious!" the first taster fully affirmed.
"Is there anything else?" Li Ke wanted to get more opinions.
"It's delicious!" the taster gave a higher affirmation.
Without saying anything, Li Ke rolled his eyes, cut another plate, fished out the chicken feet and eggs from the pot, and prepared to give them to his parents-in-law to taste.
Seeing that he was devouring his food, he probably didn't eat and went home hungry.
Li Ke gave him another bowl of noodles and went to the backyard to pick up two small rapeseeds, ready-made braised vegetables.
"You eat first, and I'll bring some to my parents. If you finish eating and I haven't come back yet, you put out the fire and help me put the lid on the pot." Li Ke explained.
Li Ke came next door and saw his mother-in-law watching TV and eating melon seeds.
"Coco is here." Her mother-in-law took her hand and sat down.
"Mom, this is the couple's lung slices I just made. Let me give you a taste. I wonder if you like it? By the way, where's dad?" Li Ke handed her the plate in his hand.
"Oh, you really do what you say. Your dad is washing dishes in the kitchen." said the mother-in-law.
"Old man, come here with a pair of chopsticks?" Li Fang shouted to the kitchen.
"What are you doing? Aren't you full?" Chen Xiangdong ran to the door of the hall and asked.
Probably because he didn't know someone was coming to the house, he was still wearing a bright red apron. Seeing Li Ke there, he rubbed his big hands behind his back, which made him a little embarrassed.
Li Ke tried his best to hold back his laughter. His father-in-law had always presented himself as a tough guy and was very steady in what he said and did. He didn't expect that he would be like this in private when he was at home with his mother-in-law.
I seem to know where Chen Xingyi’s awkward and cute personality comes from.
"Oh, it was Xiao Ke who made some food and brought it to us to try. We are our own, so why should we be embarrassed?"
"oh."
Chen Xiangdong turned around and went out. When he came back in, he was holding a pair of chopsticks in his hand. He had already taken off his bright red apron and looked like a mature and steady elder again.
"Here." Chen Xiangdong naturally picked up a pair of chopsticks and fed Li Fang to eat first.
Li Ke never expected that a bowl of dog food would be waiting for him here.
"It's good. It's soft and glutinous in the mouth, the meat is rotten, and the beef tendon is chewy. After one bite, it's sour, sweet, salty, spicy, and a variety of flavors come together in your mouth. It's delicious and not greasy." My mother-in-law gave her a high praise and said.
, while naturally picking up a pair of chopsticks to feed the father-in-law.
Li Ke suffered another dog food attack.
"Well, it's delicious. How do you plan to price it?" asked the father-in-law.
"The raw beef on the market costs six yuan per catty, and the braised beef costs ten yuan per catty. What do you think if I sell it for eight yuan?"
"One pound of raw meat is 6 taels of cooked meat after marinating. Can you make money by selling it for 8 yuan?" the mother-in-law asked worriedly.
"Try it again, there's more than just beef tendon in her couple's lung slices." The father-in-law pointed out the key point.
If it were all beef tendons, plus marinade and red oil, it wouldn't be enough to toss around.
Although beef tendon is expensive, offal such as tripe, tongue, heart, and tendons are very cheap. These things are very fishy if not properly processed, and not everyone likes to eat them, so they cannot be sold at a high price.
So with these additions, the cost is reduced.
"How could Coco be so smart and come up with such a good idea? And this couple's lung slices, it's my first time to eat them. I've never heard of them before. Did your mother teach you how to make them?" The mother-in-law was very curious.
"It was taught to me by my distant cousin who studied cooking. By the way, I also prepared tiger skin chicken feet and braised eggs. You can try them." Li Ke, who had made a mistake out of nowhere, quickly changed the subject.
"Are tiger skin chicken feet the same as chicken feet?" the mother-in-law asked as she picked up one to taste.
"This chicken feet is so delicious. It falls off the bone with just a sip. It melts in your mouth. It's fragrant and glutinous, and not bad at all."
"These braised eggs are also delicious. They taste different from the boiled eggs and tea eggs we usually eat. They are more delicious than those." My father-in-law said while eating.
"I'm going to sell tiger skin and chicken feet for four yuan a pound, and braised eggs for fifty cents each. Is it suitable for my parents?" Li Ke asked humbly.
"The price is okay, but no one has ever tasted these things before. They are rare items and it will take some time to accept them. Take your time at the beginning and don't be in a hurry," said the mother-in-law.
"I've also considered what mom said. I'm going to bring a plate and cut some of these things out in advance for everyone to taste for free."
"What a great idea, Coco is really awesome. But... can you come here alone? You have to weigh, collect and change money, and greet the tasting guests. Let Xing Yi go and help you," said the mother-in-law.
"Mom, there is no need for a scale. I use a scale to weigh the plastic bags at home in advance. One bag is one pound, and several bags are the same as the number of pounds. I can do this by myself, and I am quite busy during this period of time."
Although I don't know what he is busy with, Li Kexin said.
"Okay, then you can test the water first tomorrow. If there is any problem, let's figure it out together... Ah, you old man, don't eat it, leave some for me." The mother-in-law was holding Li Ke's hand and talking, looking out of the corner of her eye.
Until the father-in-law immersed himself in eating hard.
"Mom, there are still a lot at home, I'll go get some for you." Li Ke stood up and was about to leave.
"You are not allowed to take it. You take it and sell it. Your father and I are just teasing you. You go back and have a rest early." Her mother-in-law sent her to the door.
When he got home, there was a light on in the yard, and Chen Xing came out after hearing the door knock.
Li Ke went to the kitchen, and he followed him.
"Aren't you full?" Li Ke asked.
"No, um, I happen to have something to do in the county tomorrow, so I'll go with you." Chen Xingyi said awkwardly.
Li Ke understood from his awkward look that Chen Xingyi was worried about her and wanted to go with her, but was embarrassed to say so.
Forget it, I won't expose him anymore, it will save him the trouble of jumping back later.
"I mainly go to the shoe factory in time for lunch and after work in the afternoon. So I go there relatively late. Besides, when I go to the shoe factory, we may not be able to go together," Li Ke explained patiently.
"Oh, I got it." He didn't say he was going or not, he just said he got it and went back to the room.
Why is this kid so awkward? He's so cool and cool as promised.
