I bought some cumin, white sesame seeds, and two different kinds of dried chili peppers from the store. One kind is a wide chili pepper that adds aroma but isn't spicy; the other kind is a small chili pepper that's spicier.
First, dry-heat an empty pan, then pour in the chili peppers and stir-fry until dry and fragrant, then crush them.
Crush the cumin seeds into a semi-crushed state.
Mix all the seasonings together, add some salt, and your old-fashioned barbecue seasoning is ready.
This barbecue seasoning is quite simple and not too complicated. After it's prepared, the skewers are all skewered.
Neatly arranged lamb skewers, pork skewers, and a platter of grilled vegetables.
The group grilled and ate together. The summer night breeze, the barbecue, and it would have been even better with some ice-cold drinks.
"Mom, these skewers smell so good! This is Mu'er's favorite." Fan Mu ate with a satisfied look on her face.
Pei Yuezhi laughed and said to her, "You little rascal, everything is your favorite food."
There were plenty of meat skewers, and Pei Yuezhi and Liu Yuanyuan took turns grilling them, enjoying their meal immensely.
The meat skewers are fresh, and the barbecue seasoning is not complicated to make. Try to flip them as little as possible while grilling to retain the juices and original aroma of the food to the greatest extent.
Pei Yuezhi herself really enjoyed it, and before she knew it, she had eaten her fill.
After tidying up, everyone went back to their rooms for a nap, feeling satisfied.
As it approached the time for the shop to open in the afternoon, Pei Yuezhi was woken up by her biological clock, and instead of resting, she couldn't fall back asleep.
So I got up and went to sit in the courtyard to drink tea.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yuanyuan had already woken up, and the two of them tacitly came to sit in the courtyard.
"Yueyue, you can't sleep either? Why are you more energetic during the holiday?"
"Yeah, I was actually planning to get a good night's sleep."
"By the way, Yueyue, our store has stabilized, and the customer traffic is very good now. Shouldn't we hire another person? I see you're the only one working in the kitchen. Don't overwork yourself, okay?"
"Ding, task triggered, one new employee added, task reward: Mall upgrade card (random)."
Pei Yuezhi had the same idea. She was quite busy during dinner time. She cooked a large pot of vegetables for lunch and then cooked for herself again in the evening. Her arms were sore from the effort.
The system just happened to trigger a task, so it seems to be capturing keywords. It's just that the reward is a bit inexplicable.
The upgrade is random, but since it's an upgrade, it won't get worse no matter what. Pei Yuezhi loves opening blind boxes so much, she quickly shared it with Liu Yuanyuan.
However, we really need to hire someone. Liu Yuanyuan will be in charge of taking orders, serving food, and collecting money, while her cousin-in-law will clean the table and wash the dishes.
I was chopping and cooking myself.
Although she can manage all the work, as Liu Yuanyuan said, her shop is doing very well and the costs are very low, so she doesn't need to work so hard.
You could also hire another person, preferably someone who can work in the kitchen.
"You're right, I'm practically smoking from swinging this spatula. We definitely need to hire someone, and the system has even triggered a mission with pretty interesting rewards." He rewarded Liu Yuanyuan with the new mission.
Liu Yuanyuan was also very happy, but then she thought of something: "However, if we hire people, we don't need many people to sell boxed lunches at noon, but for a little while in the evening, I don't know if it will be easy to hire people."
There's no increase in orders at lunchtime, since the number of customers is limited, so the three of us are managing to keep things relatively busy.
"The time we used to prepare ingredients can now only be used to prepare what we need that afternoon. We have to prepare what we need for lunch early the next day, so we're still in a tight schedule. With more people, we won't be so tired."
"Then I'll write a job posting and put it on the door."
Pei Yuezhi was originally very interested in calligraphy, but she didn't have much opportunity to learn it in her previous life. Now that she's back in ancient times, she can finally learn to write. Unexpectedly, she's learning quite quickly and is already writing quite well, though it's a bit slow.
I wrote a simple job posting and plan to post it when I start work tomorrow.
Happy times are fleeting; a day of rest, without accomplishing anything, is gone.
I started work with a heavy heart. When I got to the door, I first posted the job posting I had written yesterday, and then I quickly went inside to get the ingredients so that my cousin-in-law wouldn't be here anytime soon.
My cousin's wife arrived just as the ingredients were being taken out.
"Yuezhi, our shop is hiring, isn't it?" After this period of time, my cousin's wife no longer calls Xiuyuan's wife so often.
Pei Yuezhi was washing vegetables when she saw her come in. She looked up and replied, "Yes, we have a lot of guests and we're too busy to handle everything."
“Yeah, that’s right. We were so busy at noon that we didn’t even have time to catch our breath before we had to prepare the ingredients for the afternoon. We need to hire someone.”
"Sister-in-law, do you have any trustworthy people? Could you introduce me to someone?"
"OK."
A little while later, Liu Yuanyuan finished washing the breakfast dishes and came over with Fan Mu.
The three of them have worked together quite well over the past twenty days, and since they had all cooked the dishes before, they cleaned up very quickly.
It's particularly cool today, and there are many more people here. Nowadays, in addition to the workers, people often come here to eat.
There were also many other groups of people, but at noon the majority were workers.
"Child, the old man is here for dinner, he wants all four dishes."
A familiar voice came from behind; it was Grandpa Zhao, who sells candied hawthorns.
"Grandpa, you've arrived! Let me serve you some food."
This was the first time Grandpa Zhao had come to eat here, so Pei Yuezhi quickly served him a meal, chatting as she did so: "You didn't go to sell candied hawthorns today?"
“Selling candied hawthorns is just a hobby of mine, and not many people buy them. I didn’t sell any today. I was just thinking that I haven’t eaten here yet. There are too many people here, and there’s nowhere to sit.”
Every day at noon, the house is packed with people. Not only are all the tables full, but many people are also sitting on the steps at the door, and some are even standing inside.
"Sir, please go eat in the backyard. We have a small table in our courtyard where our family eats."
Since there were more people at dinner, the three children couldn't sit in the living room to study, so Pei Yuezhi put a table and chairs in the courtyard.
The busy time at noon is basically fixed. If you miss the lunch rush, there will be no food or people left.
"Kid, are you hiring?" Grandpa Zhao arrived late, and by then most of the people had left before he finished eating.
Pei Yuezhi wiped her sweat and replied, "Yes, we're a bit overwhelmed. We need to hire someone to help out."
"Do you need men or women? Do you want older women?"
"Oh, sir, you must not be doing this yourself. This work is a bit tiring, and I don't want to make older people do heavy work."
Grandpa Zhao chuckled: "I was thinking of hiring older people, so I can still work here for a while. I saw that it says 'meals are provided' on the sign. Your skills are really impressive."
"If you like it, come often. If you come for dinner, I'll give you some complimentary side dishes."
"That's great! I'll definitely come and support you."
