Chapter 335 Cat's Paw Glutinous Rice Balls
Wen Zhenyi smiled and nodded: "Yes, but you can also say no."
"You'd better stop keeping me in suspense."
"Remember what I told you about dried noodles and instant noodles?"
"Remember! Did you make it?"
"We've made it before, but we didn't mass-produce it. Now that we can mass-produce it, we naturally have to find a market."
"Tell me about it quickly."
Wen Zhenyi asked the maid to find a small stove and a pot, and then bring soup bowls and plates.
The maid went to get what she wanted, and Cheng Lesheng came with her.
Cheng Lesheng looked around as he entered the room: "Are you alone?"
Wen Zhenyi raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "What else?"
"Nothing, what did you bring?"
"You'll know in a moment."
Wen Zhenyi put the instant noodles he brought into bowls and added the corresponding seasonings into the bowls.
Mr. Cheng looked at the strange thing in the bowl. It looked like noodles but didn't look like it.
After the water in the pot boils, scoop a spoonful of boiling water into the bowl and cover it with a plate.
Then she asked her maid to bring her a bucket of water and two eggs.
She started putting the dry noodles into the pot, adding some cold water from time to time, and then beat the eggs in a bowl, added seasonings, and sprinkled with chopped green onions.
After the noodles in the pot were cooked, she picked them up and put them into a bowl, added a little lard, stirred them evenly, and placed them on the table.
Not only was the maid stunned, even Mr. Cheng and his son were a little stunned.
Naiyou poked his little head out of the bag that Wen Zhenyi was carrying, and kept sniffing the air with his little nose.
Wen Zhenyi took it out and rubbed its little head: "This is not prepared for you, I will make it for you when I go back."
Cream turned to look at her, then went back into the bag to sleep.
Wen Zhenyi looked at the few people who were already a little stunned, raised his hand to remove the plate from the soup bowl, and the tempting aroma made them swallow their saliva.
"Master Cheng, give it a try."
Master Cheng picked up some food from each bowl with his chopsticks and started eating. He felt a sense of satisfaction he had never felt before: "This tastes amazing."
Cheng Lesheng also burped after eating: "How did you come up with this idea of making noodles this way?"
Butler Cheng was hiding aside and eating the remaining noodles, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Wen Zhenyi smiled and said, "I just want to make it convenient for everyone."
Mr. Cheng looked at the instant noodles and dried noodles and said, "Bring as much of these as you can. I want to sell them in the store."
"I didn't bring much this time, and my workshop hasn't been open for long. If you want to supply you, you'll have to wait until next month."
"Next month is fine too. This is really a must-have for travel."
"I'll have someone deliver it to your store when the time comes." Wen Zhenyi prepared to leave after the matter was settled.
"Tomorrow is the fifteenth, what should we prepare?"
"Red yeast rice powder, sesame seeds, sugar, osmanthus flowers, glutinous rice flour."
"Okay, I'll have someone prepare it today. I'll also reserve two tables for you tomorrow."
"Okay." Wen Zhenyi agreed readily, and she was happy to have some free time tomorrow.
When Shen Hanxing saw her, his brows furrowed slightly: “You’ve lost weight.”
Wen Zhenyi was stunned and looked down at the clothes on his body: "Is there any?"
"I ate well, but you went back and exhausted yourself."
"This is just a bunch of things coming together. It won't be so busy later."
"I hope it's as you said."
"Yeah, I have an exam coming up soon. Are you nervous?"
Shen Hanxing smiled and shook her head: “Don’t be nervous, if I fail the exam, won’t someone support me?”
Wen Zhenyi was amused by him: "Yes, even if you fail the exam, I can still support you. You can manage my accounts then."
"Look, I have no worries, so there's nothing to be nervous about."
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the busiest day for yamen runners. Lanterns are hung everywhere on the streets, and they are responsible for checking whether the water tanks placed on each street are full of water.
They are also responsible for patrolling various places to avoid accidents.
So Ma Can and Ma Yuruo couldn't have dinner with them that day, but Wen Zhenyi said he would send them some dumplings.
But the yamen runners were very happy. You know, during the Chinese New Year, some yamen runners who were not on duty regretted it so much after they found out that she was the one who prepared the New Year's Eve dinner.
On this day, Zuixianju was packed with people early in the morning, all of whom were customers who came to order food.
Who made the news come out yesterday? Today's dinner for the fifteenth is a hot pot made by Miss Wen, and in addition to the hot pot, there are also dumplings she sent.
Look, even before the store opens in the morning, the door is already crowded with people.
When Wen Zhen saw this situation, he had no choice but to go around and enter through the back door.
When Chef Zhang and the others saw her, they all smiled bitterly: "Miss Wen, your reputation is growing."
"I don't know what's going on, but considering the situation today, you'll have to buy more vegetables and meat than usual."
"The young master came to give instructions yesterday and also sent us these strange stoves. We cleaned them out."
Wen Zhenyi looked at the stove placed aside, picked it up and took a look. The workmanship was quite good.
"Let's get to work. Making hot pot base is not difficult. Let's make the base of the broth first."
Chef Zhang nodded.
Wen Zhenyi also asked Qian Tu and several of his kitchen apprentices to help her mix glutinous rice flour and make the filling.
Making hot pot soup base is not difficult, so she basically does the talking while Chef Zhang does the cooking.
The busiest people today should be the kitchen helpers. The amount of cleaning work they have to do today is several times more than usual.
Wen Zhenyi asked them to take the meat to the ice cellar to freeze it and then take it out and slice it later.
She found that there were beef tripe today, so she asked them to clean it according to the method, make it into thin slices and soak it in clean water.
Including the potatoes, they were cut into thick slices and soaked in clean water.
She processed some ingredients that could be processed in advance.
The shopkeeper came running in sweating profusely: "Miss Wen, the seats for lunch and afternoon are all booked today."
“Is the lobby fully booked as well?”
“It’s fully booked.”
"Okay, I got it. I'll check the ingredients again."
"Okay, if it's not enough, I'll send someone to buy some now."
Wen Zhenyi saw that some ingredients were a little scarce, so he asked the shopkeeper to buy a lot.
She started asking Qian Tu and the others to make dumplings.
They all know how to make glutinous rice balls, but they found it very interesting to see the cute cat paw shapes on the white glutinous rice balls.
Wen Zhenyi also made some cat paw dumplings without fillings, as well as heart-shaped dumplings, which looked very cute.
Even men like Chef Zhang found it interesting and said they would make some cute dumplings for their children when they had time.
Wen Zhenyi smiled and said, "I'll make a lot today. I'll just send some to the kids back home."
