The abacus was clattering here, and sounds were coming from behind the house one after another.
"Sister Yue, it's done. I'll be right out—" Ye Zhaodi's loud and clear voice came from behind. Not long after, she came out carrying a coal stove and asked Chu Yue, "Sister Yue, where did you put it?"
Chu Yue pointed outside the store and said, "Put it there."
Chu Yue just bought the coal stove today, and it is temporarily burning firewood. As a modern person, Chu Yue can do everything else except making fire, her skill is a little weak. Before, when cooking at home, it was Lu Yuanbao who made the fire and pulled the bellows, but this time Chu Yue arranged for Ye Zhaodi to do it.
Ye Zhaodi was quite capable and lit the coal stove in no time. As for the firewood, it was the fir table that Chu Yue bought for three dollars yesterday.
After taking out two small yellow croakers, Chu Yue asked Lu Zhanlin to split the Eight Immortals Table into small pieces of wood, which came in handy today.
A wire mesh was placed on the coal stove, and a few potatoes, eggs, red dates, and walnuts were placed on the wire mesh and roasted over a low fire.
After a while, the potatoes were baked. The outer layer was crispy and golden, and looked very fragrant.
Chu Yue put the roasted potatoes into a bowl, cut them into four pieces with two knives, revealing the soft side inside, added a little bit of fine salt, and then a handful of Liupo chili powder. It was so fragrant!
Since there were no customers in the shop, Ye Zhaodi squatted next to Chu Yue and watched Chu Yue roast potatoes.
In Ye Zhaodi's eyes, Chu Yue was smart, beautiful and rich. Those rich people ate meat and fish for every meal, and they never ate potatoes.
Potatoes are eaten by poor people.
So when Ye Zhaodi first heard Chu Yue say that she wanted to roast potatoes, she was confused, but once the potatoes were roasted, they smelled delicious! They smelled so delicious!
Ye Zhaodi touched her belly and swallowed her saliva.
Chu Yue handed the steaming potato to Ye Zhaodi and inserted a bamboo skewer into it. "Zhaodi, eat it."
"Then I won't be polite." Ye Zhaodi was close to Chu Yue, so she didn't say anything polite. She took the small bowl, wanted to eat but it was hot, and blew on it and said, "Sister Yue, why are you roasting potatoes all of a sudden?"
"Aren't you asking what the chili noodles taste like? You'll know after you eat it." Chu Yue was not asking for the roasted potatoes, but for Liu Po's chili noodles.
She checked yesterday's sales and found that not a single serving of Liupo Chili Noodles was sold.
This is Liu Po! (Speak up for Liu Po.)
Chu Yue was very confused as to why no one would buy such a good thing. Later, after listening to Ye Zhaodi, she realized that it was not that the thing was bad, but that everyone simply did not recognize it.
Looking at the red color, we knew it was chili pepper, but seeing it was so red, it seemed very spicy, so we all shook our heads and refused, thus wasting such a good thing.
Ye Zhaodi blew for a long time, picked up the potato cubes dipped in red chili powder with a bamboo stick, and put them into her mouth. =
At the beginning, seeing how red it was, she was mentally prepared to have tears and snot running from the spiciness.
But - when you take a bite, the spiciness is only slight, and there is more of a fragrance, like crushed peanuts, or melon seeds, or more like walnuts. Anyway, it is very fragrant!
The spicy taste of the chili powder and the softness of the potatoes are perfectly blended together, leaving a lingering fragrance on the tongue.
Ye Zhaodi ate the whole potato without realizing it. She was about to grab a second piece. When she felt Chu Yue's smiling gaze, she hurriedly said, "Delicious! Really delicious! Sister Yue, I have never eaten such delicious potatoes!"
Ordinary potatoes, just with a handful of chili powder, can become a delicious dish.
Chu Yue finished roasting the second potato and squatted beside the coal stove with Ye Zhaodi. While eating, she said, "If it tastes good, eat more. We'll have this for lunch. There are also eggs. Roasted eggs are also delicious. One for each of us."
Chu Yue knew that Ye Zhaodi was embarrassed, so she said, "You worked hard yesterday, eat more today."
In addition, Chu Yue also arranged, "After you are full, bake some more potatoes."
"You want to grill more when you're full?" Ye Zhaodi's mouth was red from eating and her eyes were sparkling with confusion.
Chu Yue said, "Bake it, bake it a little longer. Then cut the potatoes into small pieces and sprinkle them with chili powder. For the guests who come in the afternoon, ask them to taste the potatoes first, and then introduce the chili powder."
"Sister Yue, I understand! After they eat it, they will definitely buy our chili noodles!" Ye Zhaodi immediately understood Chu Yue's intention.
Chu Yue nodded. She thought further ahead. Liu Po’s chili noodles had an exclusive recipe. Even if other stores also sold chili noodles, they would definitely not be as delicious as hers.
When city people get used to eating chili noodles in the future, every time they think of it, they will think of her shop.
Thanks to this taste, she can attract many repeat customers.
After a while, the fragrant potatoes and chili noodles really attracted the first customer, but this person turned out to be Pei Hanchuan.
When Pei Hanchuan approached, he realized that the person squatting next to the coal stove was actually Chu Yue. He was dumbfounded and asked, "What's wrong with you? Even if business is bad, you don't have to squat on the roadside to eat, right? Did you lose money yesterday?"
The young master has no idea of the sufferings of the world and takes the word "loss" lightly.
However, if Chu Yue really said that she was losing money, Pei Hanchuan could buy everything in her store on the spot.
Chu Yue did not respond to Pei Hanchuan's words. Instead, she poked a piece of golden potato with a bamboo stick, dipped it in Liupo chili powder, and handed it to Pei Hanchuan.
She just said two words, "Do you want to eat?"
This question stunned Pei Hanchuan.
The young master of the Pei family has eaten everything. He even flew to Shanghai to eat steak. Yet they actually stuffed his mouth with a small potato, and there was that bright red chili powder. Was they trying to murder him with the chili powder?
Pei Hanchuan's mind was suddenly filled with ideas, but Chu Yue and Ye Zhaodi in front of him couldn't stop eating. Their mouths were red and they were breathing heavily. Even though the food was so hot, they still refused to stop.
Ye Zhaodi swallowed a mouthful of baked potatoes and recommended them to Pei Hanchuan, "Master Pei, you will know once you try them. Sister Yue's baked potatoes are delicious!"
Is it really that delicious?
Then he would reluctantly take a bite for Chu Yue's sake.
Pei Hanchuan took the bamboo stick from Chu Yue's hand, frowned and put one into his mouth.
