Chapter 112 What kind of street stall sells this? You are too crazy!

Zhao Xiaojing looked at the refrigerator in front of her and didn't know whether to say that the system was awesome or Su Yuchen was awesome.

After Su Yuchen instructed her to apply a thick layer of medicated oil, she easily used a small brush to brush off all the glue marks on the glass.

Zhao Xiaojing started to doubt her life after seeing this. It turns out that Fengyoujing can be used in this way?

"It's pretty good after cleaning it up. These cracks are just surface scratches, and the interior of the glass hasn't been damaged at all! It seems the seller was too lazy to bother cleaning it up. You really found a treasure!"

Su Yuchen tore off the last piece of old black tape that was stuck from top to bottom, brushed it clean, and then looked up and down at the refrigerator with satisfaction. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

Zhao Xiaojing silently gave the system a thumbs up in her heart.

The appearance of this refrigerator has been changed so much that it looks as shabby as it can be at first glance. It is no exaggeration to say that it cost only 100 yuan.

But the dirt and scratches were removed just right, and after Su Yuchen cleaned them carefully, the refrigerator actually looked tall and bright. It was a bit old, but it still looked like the original.

"What do you think? Am I awesome?" Su Yuchen proudly raised his chin towards Zhao Xiaojing, and Zhao Xiaojing clapped her hands in honor.

It was almost eleven o'clock in the morning. The two of them decided to go directly to the side door of the school that Zhao Xiaojing had been to last time. After observing for a while, they found that it was indeed similar to what Lu Hongwen said. So they went directly to the coconut jelly owner to negotiate the price and rent the stall. They also took over the stall cart she had resold.

The stall in the shed was hotter at noon than at night, and the two of them were sweating profusely just by standing and chatting with the boss for a while.

"Luckily, October is almost here. When the weather cools down, setting up a stall won't be such a hassle anymore, and there should be more students."

After paying the remaining rent to the coconut jelly vendor, Su Yuchen finally got the contact number of the rent collector for the land. Su Yuchen dragged Zhao Xiaojing to stand in the shed for a while, carefully savoring the sweltering air.

"Let's take turns setting up the stalls later. One person can't stand it for too long in this weather. Bring a towel and a big water bottle."

Zhao Xiaojing nodded casually and agreed, "Let's eat something. Since we're here, let's go to the farmer's market to buy some food and then go back to work."

In the morning, Zhao Xiaojing only had time to deal with the range hood and refrigerator, and had no time to buy pots, pans, seasonings, and ingredients.

They each ate a small portion of cold noodles perfunctorily, then went to the farmers' market and picked up a large pile of pots, buckets, knives, and other miscellaneous ingredients. They then bought some pig skin for the pork knuckle rice, an old hen, a few pounds of shank bones, six pork knuckles, and six pork knuckles.

After moving all the things into the kitchen, Zhao Xiaojing quickly turned on the air conditioner, set up the two newly bought chairs, pulled Su Yuchen, who was so tired that he could hardly stand up, to sit down, and then started to get busy.

Today we still have three varieties, one old variety, Green Grape Jasmine Adazi, and two new varieties, Osmanthus Wine Ice Tofu Pudding and Mango Pomelo Ice Tofu Pudding.

I learned both of these after coming to Jiangcheng. I used virtual space to project the milk tea shops in Jiangcheng and learned the new ingredients in the milk tea shops.

Soak the soybeans overnight and make soy milk, then filter out the dregs. Bring to a boil, add milk and white jelly, pour into a mold, skim off the bubbles, and place in the refrigerator to wait for it to solidify into blocks.

During this time, take out the red beans that have also been soaked overnight, put them into a pot, add yellow rock sugar and water to cover the ingredients, bring to a boil over medium-low heat, and stir constantly.

Wait until the yellow rock sugar is completely melted, simmer over low heat, cover the pot, and cook until it becomes sandy and visible to the naked eye. Then add honey and stir until the grains are glossy.

In between stewing, take out another pot to make grass jelly.

Bring the washed hay, edible alkali and plenty of water to a boil over high heat, then simmer on low heat for one hour until the grass jelly has a strong lubricating feeling. Filter the grass juice twice, add the paste made of sweet potato flour and water, and stir quickly on high heat until it becomes a uniform dark green color.

Then put it in the refrigerator to cool and form.

"I'm going to set up the stall today, you have an important task." At 5:30, Su Yuchen, who had just finished peeling a pile of fruit, was about to go out to set up the stall again when Zhao Xiaojing grabbed her. "This pot of soup is very important, you have to help me watch it here. Although you don't have to worry about it, I'm worried about it being on the stove without someone watching."

Zhao Xiaojing pointed at the large steel barrel containing the broth.

The broth was made from the old hen, leg bones, and pig skin I'd bought that morning. I put the fish in the pot with cold water, rinsed it with hot water, and filled it up all at once. Finally, I added a piece of roasted, dried fish and some traditional Chinese medicine seasonings from the system recipe.

This broth is the soul of pork trotter rice. Only when the broth is well cooked can the pork trotter taste rich and have a full gelatinous texture.

Two to three hours for ordinary broth, or a quick cooker is enough, but the system secret recipe requires simmering for 6-8 hours over low heat.

"Besides, we're going to sell pig's trotter rice tomorrow. Lu Hongwen has almost mastered the sweet soup business, so it's time for him to go it alone. I have to go over and talk to him, calculate the sales volume for the past few days, and see if he has any other questions."

Zhao Xiaojing patted Su Yuchen's hand and stopped her from speaking again about being a workaholic.

After arriving at the stall, Lu Hongwen was surprised to see today's condiments. Then he watched Zhao Xiaojing making them one by one while teaching him, and he was even more stunned.

Today's osmanthus wine-fermented icy tofu pudding has a lot of ingredients. Just this small bowl has been added with wine-fermented glutinous rice, glutinous rice dumplings, grass jelly, candied red beans, hawthorn, taro balls, osmanthus flowers...

"No, sister, why do you set up a street stall like this? Not only do you update the varieties you sell so frequently, but even the fermented rice wine here is handmade?" Lu Hongwen looked confused.

"What kind of street vendor sells this? You're too arrogant!"

"How much does this cost?"

"Although we currently sell short every day without any losses, what if we can't sell it? What if so many small ingredients are wasted?"

Lu Hongwen kept muttering.

"Then let's sell it for 18 yuan each. I think everyone can accept this price." Zhao Xiaojing paused and started to set the price.

The cost of mango pudding with sago and sweet osmanthus wine is about 8.7, and the cost of iced tofu pudding with osmanthus wine is 9.6. She just wanted to change the variety from time to time so that everyone would not get tired of the same kind. She really didn't consider this matter.

"You're too greedy! Sister, you're really too greedy! This fermented rice wine and ice tofu pudding has at least seven or eight kinds of ingredients. If we sell it at this price, other sweet soups will be hard to sell!" Lu Hongwen shook his head, looking heartbroken.

Zhao Xiaojing swallowed back the words she was about to ask Lv Hongwen if he thought it was too expensive. Well, with her and Shuzi as the two laborers, plus Lv Hongwen as the part-time boss, that's three employees. If you think about it carefully and factor in the cost of renting a new kitchen, it really isn't that expensive.

"Don't worry. If it doesn't sell well, just do it for one day. If you think the price is unreasonable, raise it to 20. Now you are the boss." After making three samples, Zhao Xiaojing looked at Lu Hongwen who was thinking hard on the side and said.
