Chapter 125 Pancake Fruit
The next morning, Ye Muqi was still thinking about setting up the stall and woke up earlier than Rong Jingchen.
Rong Jingchen hugged her tightly, and even after sleeping all night, his hands were still on her waist and never let go.
Ye Muqi saw that he was still sleeping, gently took Rong Jingchen's hand away, and got ready.
"Why did you wake up so early today?" Rong Jingchen woke up as soon as he moved.
I was quite surprised to see my young wife getting up so early.
"Didn't I tell you... we have to set up a stall today, so we have to prepare early." Ye Muqi explained.
Rong Jingchen also woke up. Ye Muqi quickly got up, changed his clothes, washed up, and immediately went into the kitchen.
After preparing lunch for Rong Jingchen, Ye Muqi found a large bucket, washed it clean, took out flour from the space, and made a large bucket of batter.
I got a round flat iron plate and heated it on the stove. I scooped a large spoonful of batter onto the iron plate and used a scraper like a bamboo helicopter to spread the batter into a large circle, a thin layer.
When Rong Jingchen came in, he saw Ye Muqi had beaten an egg on it and sprinkled some black sesame seeds on it.
Then he used a small shovel to scoop up the pastry and turned it over. He then brushed a layer of sauce on it and added ham, meat, lettuce leaves, and long strips of fried crispy food inside. Finally, he rolled up the pastry, cut it in half in the middle, and put it in a paper bag.
The pancake that Ye Muqi made for Rong Jingchen was rich and thick.
"What is this called?" It was the first time that Rong Jingchen saw cakes being made in this way and he found it a little novel.
"Hmm... pancakes."
There is a saying in the world today that anything can be stuffed into the pancake, including spicy strips, durian, stinky tofu and so on.
This is the kind of pancake Ye Muqi is going to sell at his stall today, a variety of pancakes of his choice.
The paper bags for the crispy snacks and pancakes, as well as these tools, were all taken out by Ye Muqi from the space.
"It tastes great." Rong Jingchen took a bite and was surprised by the rich taste.
This was the first time he had eaten a pie with such rich ingredients. It was much more delicious than a simple meat pie.
"Of course, the sauce inside is my secret pancake sauce." Ye Muqi laughed when he heard the compliment.
After packing lunch for Rong Jingchen, Ye Muqi took the tools and the large bucket of prepared batter and left.
"The dough is so thin, almost like water. How can we make pancakes with it?" Yang Liwen looked at the dough that Ye Muqi brought down with a puzzled look on her face.
Thinking that she would learn something new today, Yang Liwen specially brought the small notebook she had used for taking notes.
"You'll know when we get there." Ye Muqi kept it a secret, waiting to see Yang Liwen's surprised look.
Cai Dongmei cleaned the stall when she went back yesterday and pushed it out early in the morning.
The stall is quite big, with enough space for three or four stoves. Cai Dongmei used to sell wontons and buns from the stall, and she made some this morning, thinking that the more she could sell, the better.
As soon as Ye Muqi arrived, he placed the round iron plate he brought on the stove, scooped some batter into a basin and placed it on the stall, and covered the excess and placed it aside, so that he could scoop more after use, which would be cleaner.
The ham sausage was taken from the space and can be eaten directly. There were a lot of eggs stored in the kitchen, so they could be taken out directly. The lettuce was also taken directly from the kitchen and could be used after washing. It was also very convenient.
Today is the first day of sales, and Ye Muqi didn't do a lot of fancy things. He first tried the effect and then added things gradually.
The pancake itself comes with an egg, so Ye Muqi ordered it for 50 cents each. If he wanted to add something else, an egg would be 10 cents each, and ham would also be 10 cents each.
The menu was written and this new stall quickly attracted attention.
"Boss Xiaoye, what is this pancake? Why does it have both egg and ham?" A regular customer saw it and ran over to ask, "Give me one with ham to try."
"Okay!" Ye Muqi scooped a spoonful of batter onto the round iron plate.
It was like a magic trick, a piece of batter turned into a cake, and the following movements were smooth and flowing, which immediately attracted a lot of customers to come over and surround the stall.
Yang Liwen: “???”
She was dazzled by what she saw, and as she read she quickly wrote down the steps in a small notebook. Now she knew how the liquid-like batter turned into a cake.
After the eggs were beaten, the pancakes not only turned golden brown, but the aroma of the eggs also wafted out. Especially after Ye Muqi applied the sauce, the aroma spread through the heat and could be smelled all around the stall.
After a while, a pancake was ready. It was a thick one with eggs and ham. Even people with a bigger appetite could eat it full. This pancake only cost 60 cents.
"This cake is delicious. The sixty cents is well worth it! Boss Ye, please give me another one of the same kind so I can bring it home for my wife to try." The customer who bought the cake took a bite and immediately asked for another cake.
"I want one too. Give me an egg and this ham!"
"I want one too!"
Seeing this, other onlookers expressed their desire to buy it.
There was a long queue outside the small stall, and even though Ye Muqi was fast, he was still overwhelmed for a while.
The big bucket of batter that Ye Muqi brought was finally used up, and some customers didn't get to eat any.
"Sorry, I'll prepare more tomorrow. Everyone will definitely be able to eat when they come tomorrow."
Ye Muqi gave a note to the guests who had waited for a long time but had not been able to eat, saying that they could come to eat tomorrow and would be given a ham with this note, after all, they had waited for quite a long time.
Although the guests who didn’t wait for the meal didn’t get to eat it, they were still happy thinking that they could get a piece of ham with their pancakes tomorrow.
Yang Liwen admired Ye Muqi's business skills. He not only did not offend the customers but also retained them.
Because business was good, breakfast was sold out early.
"You don't have to cook a big bowl of rice for lunch today, Sister Yang. I'll teach you how to mix the batter, and then you can practice it. We'll get two stoves tomorrow, and we can work faster together." Seeing that it was still early, Ye Muqi went into the kitchen to get some flour.
Business is good today, and it takes some time to make one pancake. Ye Muqi thinks that Yang Liwen should get started as soon as possible, so that the two of them can handle it together.
Yang Liwen was naturally happy. She took notes while learning. When it was time to officially roll out the pancakes, it seemed quite easy when she saw Ye Muqi making them. However, when she rolled the pancakes herself, the batter was always uneven, with pieces often missing here and there.
