Chapter 80 The significance of the stall

Today's schedule is spicy fried pork ribs, and there are a lot of people booking.

Zhao Xiaojing went to the vegetable market owner early in the morning and took out more than forty ribs that she had ordered in advance. The system refrigerator was almost full.

Fortunately, the pork seller had already cut the pork into strips along the ribs and chopped it into small pieces for her.

When Zhao Xiaojing returned home at noon, she had already soaked the fresh pork ribs in several large steel basins. She changed the water twice, and the blood had almost come out.

Take out the ribs and control the moisture, then start making the Sichuan pepper oil, the soul seasoning for the spicy ribs.

The peppercorns used in Sichuan pepper oil are very important. Zhao Xiaojing specially selected green Sichuan peppercorns that have been dried into dark green color in Chongqing.

Pour the green peppercorns into a basin and soak them in warm water for ten minutes until they are softened.

Then put it into a blender and beat it into slightly larger pieces.

The purpose of soaking in water is to soak out the oil in the green peppercorns, and putting them into the blender is to break the oil glands of the peppercorns. Only in this step can the flavor of the peppercorns be truly released.

Put the crushed green peppercorns into a bowl. At this time, the crushed peppercorns are in a paste-like state. Add a little salt and sugar, as well as the onion powder and beef bone concentrate powder you made earlier to enhance the flavor.

After stirring evenly, pour into the pot. The ratio of crushed peppercorns to oil is about 1:2 to 1:3. Add cold oil and boil.

The fire should not be turned on too high. The pot needs to be stirred from time to time to prevent the bottom from getting burnt. The oil temperature should not exceed 120°, otherwise the aroma of the peppercorns will evaporate.

After about half an hour, the water will gradually evaporate and the peppercorns will begin to float up, then turn down the heat.

After turning down the heat, stir the pepper powder in the pot quickly until the water evaporates completely, so that the flavor of the peppercorns can be thoroughly absorbed into the oil.

At this time, the spicy and fragrant pepper oil is ready. Set aside.

Then start marinating the ribs to control the moisture.

First pour in the five-spice powder, thirteen-spice powder, ginger powder, sugar, a little salt and other mixed marinade ingredients and mix well. Then add the freshly boiled pepper oil and the red oil boiled a few days ago and mix them all together.

Using pepper oil and red oil is a very important step. The ribs marinated in oil will be bright in color and bright red when fried.

If you marinate the ribs directly with pepper powder and chili powder, the fried ribs will not only be black in color, but also have a bitter taste.

This is also the reason why Zhao Xiaojing spends time and energy making pepper oil.

Then put the marinated ribs into a sealed bag and refrigerate them in the refrigerator.

After get off work, I switch to the stall cart, heat the oil in a wok, and while the oil is hot, mix corn starch and water into a non-Newtonian fluid paste.

Then take out the refrigerated ribs, coat them with batter one by one, put them into a pan with oil heated to 180°, fry them slowly over medium-low heat until the inside is cooked through and the surface is slightly charred, then take them out and let them cool, then divide them into portions.

There was still some left at the end, so Zhao Xiaojing packed it up separately and prepared to give it to Li Donglai.

Thanks to him, she gave away milk smoothies for three days, and when the customers took them away, they all looked like they were going to finish the current meal and not the next one, but no one pestered her to sell them anymore.

Seeing that everyone wanted to eat it but didn't dare to say it, Zhao Xiaojing asked for opinions in the group and added milk smoothie to the daily diet like fried skewers, which received everyone's enthusiastic approval.

The milk smoothie problem was solved perfectly.

The canteen closed early today. At eight o'clock, Zhao Xiaojing had finished frying all the ingredients and rode her stall cart slowly over.

She arrived at the supermarket twenty minutes earlier than usual today and was surprised to find that most of the customers had already arrived.

She usually arrives here at 8:30. Customers arrive in a timely manner and pick up their orders quickly. She thought everyone came at a certain time.

I just found out today that it wasn't the case. The guests were actually here so early.

"Good evening, boss!" "Boss, you're here!" "Boss, why are you here so early today?" The guests greeted her when they saw her.

"Why are you here so early?"

"It's okay. Every day, there are so many people waiting together to buy fried skewers. We've become friends through chatting! Everyone just comes early to chat and gossip. It's lively!"

"Yes, boss, we have formed a small group. It's like a party every day. Look, we even brought stools and we all sit here together to enjoy the cool air!"

"I can kind of understand what it was like for the older generation to live in a compound. Back then, there were no electronic gadgets. After dinner, everyone would sit outside to enjoy the cool air and chat. We're in the same boat now."

"It seems that our mental state is 20 years ahead of our peers!"

The guests were in a lively atmosphere, talking to Zhao Xiaojing at once, and there was another burst of laughter.

Zhao Xiaojing was also moved by what she heard, and she raised the corners of her mouth with a smile. It was great that her stall had a purpose.

"Who asked you to set up a stall here? Do you have a business license?!"

Just when Zhao Xiaojing was happy, a questioning voice came from behind.

Hearing the sound, a group of people turned around in confusion.

Several customers immediately stepped forward with anger on their faces, wanting to see who was looking for trouble every day.

Zhao Xiaojing also turned her head and was about to question back, but she suddenly lost control of her face. Her face changed into several emotions in a second, and her expression was very interesting.

"Why is it you? How did you get here? Why are you back? Aren't you going to work?"

Zhao Xiaojing asked anxiously as she looked at Su Yuchen, who was carrying a big bag and had a smirk on his face.

"I added Guo Gaoang and asked him about his position. I'm smart, right? Of course I came back to see you. What's the point of attending such a crappy class?"

Su Yuchen said with a smile.

Zhao Xiaojing grabbed her and hugged her tightly.

When she saw Su Yuchen again, Zhao Xiaojing felt very complicated.

This wasn't just a feeling of being in another world, this was truly a different world. In her previous life, before she died, she hadn't seen Su Yuchen for seven or eight years...

Although they kept in touch frequently after their rebirth, communicating online inevitably felt unreal. Now that they saw each other in person, they could no longer suppress the feeling of reunion after a long separation.

"Ah, Sister Zhao has become stronger, I can't resist her anymore. She really misses me and she won't even sell fried skewers anymore."

With people watching around, Su Yuchen felt a little embarrassed and struggled a few times, but found that Zhao Xiaojing was holding her too tightly and she couldn't move.

Zhao Xiaojing was very excited. When she heard Su Yuchen say fried skewers, she finally reacted and quickly let go.

Everyone is waiting here to pick up the goods!

"Sorry, I forgot I was still setting up the stall. I'm sorry for delaying everyone from picking up their goods."

Zhao Xiaojing apologized embarrassedly.

"Hahaha, it's okay. I just thought someone was picking on me again, but I've got my fists ready! It's okay, there's nothing to be afraid of if I wait a little longer! Anyway, you can pick up the fried skewers anytime. It's rare to see the boss this excited!"

"Yes, boss, this is your sister, right? They look so alike, both are so pretty!"

"Sister, thanks to you, this is the first time our boss has been so enthusiastic when they meet!"
