Chapter 228: After Ruan Mian took a look, he decisively rolled up his sleeves and started to work.
She took half a sack of corn back to the kitchen stove in the backyard of the house. Xier was shocked when she saw it.
"Girl, we already have plenty of corn at home."
"I know, there's too much corn, and leaving it in the village is not a solution."
"Xier, take a look at what else is in the kitchen and bring it all over for me to see."
At this time, Meixi didn't understand what she meant, and just went to get all the food, raw materials and seasonings from the kitchen as she requested.
After Ruan Mian took a look, he decisively rolled up his sleeves and started working on it.
She first cut the corn into kernels, added two spoonfuls of glutinous rice flour, a spoonful of starch, and a spoonful of sugar, and ground them into a paste in a ceramic pot.
Then pour the paste on the corn leaves and steam it for a quarter of an hour, and a plate of fragrant corn cake is ready.
In addition, she also took a few eggs, boiled the corn kernels first, then added eggs, white flour and sugar and mixed them evenly. After brushing them with a layer of oil, she put them in the pan and fried them on both sides. The corn pancakes with a different taste from the previous ones were also baked.
Next, she combined corn with different ingredients and used various methods to create many ways to eat corn.
There's roasted corn with chili flakes and cumin powder, fried salt and pepper corn kernels, and corn paste with fresh goat's milk.
There were all kinds of ways to cook corn, filling up the entire table.
Xier was stunned: "Girl, there are so many ways to cook corn? How did you know all of them?"
Normally they boiled the corn cobs in water, which was already very sweet. If all else failed, they would roast the whole cob over the fire.
This was the first time they had seen and tried so many different methods like Ruan Mian's.
Although they are both corn, the taste and flavor are completely different, which gives the taste buds more choices.
Ruan Mian asked his family to taste it, and after receiving unanimous praise, he simply took it to Guancheng.
However, my aunt and Wang Laoer went to have dinner with the owner of an escort company, so Ruan Mian simply took those things and temporarily found a vacant place in front of the pharmacy.
She simply took some tables and chairs from the drugstore to set up a stall, and set up a stove there. She rolled up her sleeves and acted as a cook to make those corn snacks.
Next door is a big restaurant in Guancheng, Hexinlou.
At first, the onlookers just watched the fun and thought it was strange, but as all kinds of aromas filled the air, some people couldn't help but become interested.
Ruan Mian put some samples in front of each snack, and the price was not expensive. The corns tasted good to begin with, and after a little processing, they became even more fresh and delicious for these people.
In Guancheng, they rarely grow corn. Even if they do, it is sparse and there are no improved wild seeds.
Their food is mostly coarse wheat.
Immediately, a lot of people gathered in front of the stall. Her price was right, and the products were sold out in a short time.
After selling all the products, she had to make some more temporarily, so a lot of people were waiting for her in front of the stall.
Some people came to watch the fun, while others actually waited for her to finish cooking and bought some hot food. No matter whether they were there for the novelty or because it was really delicious, the more people present, the better.
This will attract the attention of the restaurant next door.
The restaurant next door has been run by the Yi Dong family in Guancheng for many years and has a very good reputation in the Guancheng area. Ruan Mian has dealt with him twice before because of the pharmacy and was very polite to him.
As the fragrance and popularity gather, it will inevitably attract the attention of people in the restaurant.
Especially at this time, Mr. Yi was sitting in the elegant room upstairs.
Seeing the scene downstairs, I couldn't help but feel curious.
I specifically went to ask the waiter, and the waiter bought me the last portion of corn cakes and roasted corn segments.
"Boss, the owner of the medicine shop next door is making some snacks to sell, but the quantity is limited. I grabbed the last one. Would you like to try some?"
"Making snacks? She's the owner of a medicine shop, and she's making snacks in front of my restaurant?"
Yi Dongjia frowned, looking very unhappy, but he felt curious when he saw those fresh-looking corn snacks.
"I'd like to see what a drugstore owner can come up with to compete with me for business."
After eating it, he stopped eating and said, "It's just like this in my opinion, that's all..."
Before he could finish his words, the sweet but not greasy corn and its rich taste quickly captured his heart.
"It seems to be a little fragrant."
The servant just tasted it downstairs and nodded repeatedly in agreement!
"Yes, Boss, we've never made dim sum dishes like this before. The people downstairs said they were delicious!!"
After all, Mr. Yi has been in the restaurant business for many years. What he is most sensitive to is what is delicious and what other people like to eat.
The restaurant has several special dishes, all of which he specially collected from various places.
Otherwise, no other restaurant in Guancheng can match its business.
However, at this time Ruan Mian actually took the initiative to go upstairs.
"Boss, Madam Ruan is here."
Yi Dongjia was stunned and invited her in.
As soon as Ruan Mian entered the room, he apologized politely.
"I'm sorry to bother Mr. Yi with what happened today. The villagers in the village had a good corn harvest, so I thought I'd make some food and sell it to the villagers for a few cents. But I didn't expect it to be so popular that it almost blocked the entrance to Mr. Yi's restaurant."
"I'm truly sorry. I hope Master Yi won't despise these small gifts."
She took out a few pieces of high-quality ginseng. Seeing how tactful she was, Mr. Yi's expression softened immediately.
In addition, he already had other ideas, so he quickly asked Ruan Mian to sit down.
However, before he could speak, Ruan Mian went straight to the point.
"Actually, I have a request. I'm sure the host has seen that everyone loves these corn snacks I make."
"Our village has harvested a lot of corn now. I was wondering if you would like to accept this corn. I will give you the recipes for these corn snacks, as well as several other delicious and unique dishes. What do you think?"
Ruan Mian knew that Yi Dongjia had more than one restaurant. He had several more in other towns in Liaolie.
If the corn snacks sell well, these corns will definitely become a stable supply channel.
In addition to this corn snack, she can also teach him how to make corn oil, corn flour, etc., and then she only needs to take a little share from it.
Yi Dongjia also thought of this, but at this price...
"Madam Ruan, I think your suggestion is feasible, but how much of this stuff can you have in your village? Can you provide me with it in a stable amount?"
"Don't wait until I'm selling well and then suddenly say the harvest is bad and there's no stock. Also, this price doesn't include the price of the recipe you gave me. The recipe was a bonus for negotiating this deal with me."
