Chapter 432 Refreshments

"Sister, how about making some dim sum and snacks, adding soy milk and tea, and targeting business travelers?" Su Ying suddenly thought of Guangdong dim sum.

You can do it from morning to night, it is so pleasant to drink tea, eat snacks and talk business leisurely!

"Of course! Whatever Master Xiao Su comes up with must be excellent!" Niu Er's wife was very happy. "Master Xiao Su, just tell me what you want me to do!"

"Uh, what ingredients do you have in your store?" Su Ying didn't refuse. It was still early anyway.

"Mutton, soybeans, mung beans, brown sugar, honey, oil, and coarse tea!" Niu Er's wife spent a lot of money on these.

"Well, that's enough. Once the business stabilizes, we'll consider adding other varieties." After listening, Su Ying had a plan in mind. "Do you have steamers?"

"have!"

"Okay, soak three or four pounds of mung beans, boil them until they are soft, and mash them into mung bean paste; chop the mutton and make mutton and green onion stuffing. What time will you open the door tomorrow?" Su Ying asked.

"The door opens at the beginning of the morning hour." Niu Er's wife replied.

"Get ready first. I will come to teach you at 1:00 AM tomorrow!" Su Ying arranged.

"Oh, okay!" Niu Er's wife was very happy.

"You'll have a treat tomorrow!" Su Ying said to Fuxi on the way.

"Haha, then I'll come over early tomorrow!" Fuxi was full of anticipation. It was a rare opportunity to eat the delicious food made by Su Ying.

The next day at the hour of Mao, Su Ying brought Fuxi over, and the back door of Niu Er's wife's house was open.

"Today we're making mutton and scallion dumplings, red bean paste buns, and your fried dough sticks and meat patties. We can open from morning till night."

As Su Ying spoke, she began to prepare the red bean paste filling, adding brown sugar and honey to make a lava filling, and then wrapped small and exquisite buns.

"Oh, so small?" Niu Er's wife was surprised. "Won't the guests make a fuss?"

“Even if you make small ones like this, and steamed dumplings, you sell them for ten cents each. Business travelers can not only eat their fill, but also look good.

Treating guests needs to be expensive to show sincerity, and of course your food must taste good first." Su Ying wrapped it skillfully.

Niu Er's wife started slowly, but later caught up with her speed.

Then I made lamb and green onion dumplings with rope patterns, which looked very beautiful.

"Have someone make some small steamers, each with exactly ten pieces. Sell them one by one. They will sell quickly and in large quantities! It's also convenient!" Su Ying taught the details and tricks.

Soon the kitchen was filled with fragrance.

"Knock, knock, knock!" Someone knocked on the door outside. "The store isn't open yet!"

"Hey, here he comes!" Niu Er's wife opened the door. The oil boiler outside had not been lit yet. The guest arrived two quarters of an hour early.

"What new food did you make today, madam? I can smell the fragrance from far away!" It was a businessman from the inn next door.

"Sir, you have a very sharp nose. We have new lava buns and steamed dumplings today. They are a little expensive. Would you like to try them?" Niu Er's wife was nervous.

"Oh, how expensive is it?" The customers are curious, and some sellers take the initiative to admit that their things are expensive!

"Well, two cents each, minimum order of five!" Niu Er's wife said boldly.

"Haha, give me five of them to try and see what's so good about them!" The customer remained noncommittal.

Su Ying quickly picked up five of each and put them on plates, and Niu Er's wife served them to the guests.

"Oh, my lady, your buns and dumplings are so exquisite!" the guest joked.

The lava buns and steamed dumplings are delicate and small, giving off a sense of preciousness and luxury. They are not the bulky and filling common goods sold at small stalls.

The guest picked up the lava bun, took a light bite, and made a small opening.

The quicksand overflows, the brown sugar mixed with honey has a unique sweetness, and the fragrance of mung beans makes people's appetite open.

"Mm, it tastes good!" the customer nodded. "Two cents a piece isn't too expensive!"

I picked up the steamed dumplings and tasted them. They had a different texture from the greasy meat patties.

The steamed dumplings are bite-sized and have thin skin and rich fillings. The steamed dumpling skin is firm and tastes fresh, fragrant and chewy.

"Mmm, delicious!" The customer's eyes lit up and he exclaimed in amazement, "Give me a bowl of soy milk!"

Su Ying made a bowl of coarse tea and asked Niu Er's wife to bring it out.

"Hey, ma'am, I asked for soy milk, but why did you serve tea instead? And it's a crude kind, too?" the guest was puzzled.

Niu Er's wife looked at Su Ying in the kitchen. She knew there must be an explanation.

"Please have a taste, what's the difference between this tea?" Su Ying and Fu Xi came out from the kitchen.

"Oh, it's Master Su! Master Fu! My apologies!" The merchant was a regular customer who had come several times, so he naturally recognized Su Ying and Fu Xi.

"This is a new way of drinking tea. Please try it first to see how it tastes!" Su Ying invited the customer to sit down.

Niu Er's wife brought another plate and brewed some coarse tea.

The merchant took a sip of the coarse tea, and the slightly bitter taste passed through his throat, followed by a sweet and fragrant taste between his throat, lips and teeth.

Unlike tea made with onions, ginger and garlic, this one retains the original flavor of tea, which relieves greasiness and leaves a lingering fragrance in the mouth.

"Wonderful!" The merchant grasped the essence. "The coarse tea is so delicious! Master Su is truly a genius!"

"My dear guest, it is even more delicious to enjoy lava buns and steamed dumplings with coarse tea!" Su Ying took a sip of coarse tea and ate steamed dumplings. Delicious!

Fuxi didn't say anything, he took a sip of tea with a bite of steamed dumplings, and then took a sip of tea with a bite of lava bun!

Well, it’s good to follow Lord Xiao Su!

Niu Er’s wife couldn’t help but taste it, so she ate one as well and couldn’t bear to put it down anymore. Oh my God, you can eat like this!

"Hey! Shop owner, what delicious food do you have? Give me one too!" Another customer came in smelling the food.

"Okay, okay!" Niu Er's wife did not forget to quote the price first and then give people some snacks.

Just as the food was served, more customers came in. Niu Er's wife was too busy to handle it alone, so Su Ying and Fu Xi helped to attract the customers.

Soon both upstairs and downstairs were almost full, and everyone ordered the new refreshments and praised them highly.

"Hey, Master Su, why are you here?" Song Xuanyu and Master Liu passed by, and the guests all walked in to see what was going on.

But I saw Lord Su and Lord Fu working as waiters in the store, and they were very busy.

"Come on, gentlemen, come and try our new food!" Su Ying invited the two to sit down.

There are two plates of buns and steamed dumplings, and each person has a bowl of coarse tea.

"How do you eat this?" Song Xuanyu looked at it curiously.

"Try it and you'll know!" Su Ying did not answer.

The two were puzzled and took a sip of the rough tea. They were both stunned. Why was the rough tea so bitter? When they tasted the sweetness and fragrance, they understood immediately and buried their heads in work.

"Another serving!" Song Xuanyu was not full.

He was drunk last night, so the coarse tea now helps him to relieve the greasiness and stimulate his appetite. The lava buns and steamed dumplings are very much to his taste.

"No more!" Su Ying spread her hands. "It's a trial run today, so we didn't make much!"

"Shopkeeper, give me another one!" other customers also shouted.

"Sorry, dear guests, we have sold out. We have fried dough sticks and meat patties, would you like some?" Niu Er's wife was busy and sweating, as the business was booming.

"Oh, that's all? Okay, another meat pie!" The guests were still not satisfied.

"Master Su is the one who knows how to enjoy food. What is the name of this new food?" Song Xuanyu liked it very much.

"refreshments!"

"Tea snacks?" Song Xuanyu was slightly stunned, then relieved. If they were eaten with tea, what else could they be called but tea snacks? "This business is good!"
