Yang Liu held the wood and Mei Nan held the stone, but when they first started walking, they let the two brothers walk by themselves. Later, when they reached the main street where there were many people, they picked up the children.
"Sister-in-law, you've been really tired today. The little guy must be very heavy!"
Since becoming a mother, Yang Liu has been holding her baby frequently. Her hand strength has been developed, so she doesn't feel anything when holding the baby and feels very relaxed.
"Don't look at me because I'm thin. I'm very strong." After saying this, Mei Nan shook the person in his arms up.
Today's opportunity is rare, she must hug the little guy tightly and try to get some of his childishness.
"Shi Tou, be good in your aunt's arms and don't move around." Yang Liu said, nodding his head.
The place they came to should be the commercial center of Shanghai. There are some shops and restaurants on both sides of the street, and there is also a large shopping mall, each floor of which is different.
Because she wanted to go to Shenzhen to buy clothes to sell, she went to several clothing stores to take a look. She found that the styles of the clothes there were relatively conservative styles of that era.
The colors are red and army green, and other colors are relatively rare.
In general, the colors and styles are very simple.
Yang Liu visited almost all the clothing shops here. Later, she found that her sister-in-law was a little tired, so she took her to a breakfast shop to eat something.
It is called a breakfast shop, but in fact it is open from morning until nine o'clock in the evening.
The main items sold are steamed buns, steamed bread, flower rolls, and soy milk and fried dough sticks.
The variety is quite complete.
The four of them ordered steamed buns and fried dough sticks, and three cups of soy milk.
Because a cup is very big, a child definitely cannot finish it by himself, so the two brothers just drink one cup.
"Sister-in-law, do you often eat breakfast outside?"
Mei Nan took a bite of the bun and nodded. "I used to work at a school and didn't have time to cook in the morning, so I always bought food outside. But it was always the same thing, nothing new."
"So what do you think of the breakfast here?"
They ordered meat buns, and the filling inside was very ordinary, which seemed unable to bring out the fresh aroma of meat.
"It's OK. I think it's pretty much the same as what I eat at other places."
"Sister-in-law, I can make buns too. When we get home later, I'll make some for you to try. You can help me check whether my skills are good enough to open a shop."
"OK."
After they finished eating here, they saw someone selling candied haws outside and bought one for each of them before going home.
After returning home, Yang Liu asked, "Sister-in-law, please go outside and play with them. I'm going to the kitchen to busy myself."
"Do you need my help?"
"No need, just help me keep an eye on those two brothers."
After Yang Liu settled the child, she went straight into the kitchen.
When I bought the ribs today, I had someone chop them for me. In order to wash them clean, she washed them with flour until the water was clear.
The ribs are stewing on the stove.
She came to prepare the filling for the buns.
She still had some mushrooms she had brought from home, which she had soaked before leaving the house. Now she chopped them up and prepared to make buns with mushroom and pork filling.
She cut a large piece of pork belly in the morning, used some of it to stir-fry pork, and had a large portion left.
First remove the skin, then chop the pork into small pieces, and finally chop it into minced meat on a chopping board.
Part of it can be used to make dumplings, and the rest can be used to make minced meat and eggplant.
Add seasonings and minced mushrooms to the minced meat, then stir well while adding the pre-soaked onion and ginger water in small amounts until the whole thing becomes viscous.
She prepared the flour as soon as she came back. In order to promote the proofing of the flour, she even soaked the basin in hot water.
When the dough becomes honeycomb-shaped, Yang Liu starts cutting the dough into small pieces to make dumplings.
She prepared a lot of noodles today, and she planned to ask her sister-in-law to take some back for the two old people to taste.
She made thirty big dumplings and also made twenty soup dumplings.
The skin of the former needs to be rolled thicker, while the skin of the latter needs to be rolled thinner.
After all the preparations are done, she starts steaming.
Soup dumplings need to be eaten hot, and she thought that Chu Yue would probably not be back for a while, so she steamed some big dumplings first.
Mei Nan played with them outside. At first, he read picture books to them, and later they played with red strings together.
Suddenly, Shitou stretched his neck and sniffed around, "What a nice smell!"
Yang Liu brought out the first steamed pot and said, "You really have a dog's nose. You'll know when the buns are cooked once they're done."
"Sister-in-law, come and try it."
Shitou ran over and wanted to grab it with his hands, but Yang Liu stopped him and said in a deep voice, "Go wash your hands."
Mu Tou had already washed his hands and came out. Yang Liu picked up a large meat bun for him and said, "It's hot. Blow on it before you eat it."
Mei Nan started drooling just by smelling the food. She couldn't wait to take a bite. Although it was a little hot, it was bearable.
Before she could even taste the first bite, she finished the whole bun and immediately gave a thumbs up, "Liu Liu, the buns you made are really delicious."
It’s really fresh, unlike the ones sold outside, where the fillings are hard.
After a while, the soup dumplings were cooked. Yang Liu prepared two kinds of sauce, one spicy and one non-spicy, and asked Mei Nan to try them.
She ate five in a row.
"Liuliu, if it wasn't for the fact that it's night time and I'm afraid of indigestion after eating too much, I think I could eat at least ten." Mei Nan praised while touching his round belly.
They are both buns, and I don’t know how she makes them, but they are obviously more delicious than others.
"Sister-in-law, as long as you like it, I'll make a lot. Remember to take some away when you go back later."
"Okay, then I won't be polite with you." Mei Nan agreed readily.
"Liu Liu, I really think that if you open a bun shop with your skills, the business will definitely be very good." Mei Nan said, holding her hand.
"Since you said so, sister-in-law, I have a clue in my mind."
However, doing business is not something that can be done on a whim; a lot of preparation needs to be done in the early stages.
For example, finding a store and contacting suppliers of raw materials are actually the most important things in choosing the store location.
She thinks the best bun shops like this one are around schools.
In a place with a lot of traffic like this, as long as the food you make tastes good, your business will definitely be good.
However, she still had to ask Chu Yue to help her make a decision on this matter.
At night, after they washed up and lay on the bed, Yang Liu asked him, "What do you think if I open a bun shop next to the school?"
Chu Yue came back even more horrifyingly. He ate eight soup dumplings and four big buns. If Yang Liu hadn't stopped him from eating because she was afraid that she would have indigestion, it seems he could have continued.
