Guagua: "Mom, it's gone in one sip."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Where did you learn that? Don't eat too fast, be careful of getting burned."
When she said slurp, what she actually thought of was slurping saliva.
Guagua is a child who listens attentively in kindergarten. He answered his mother's question: "The teacher said that children should not slurp noodles because they will choke. Mom, I can't eat fast, and this went into my mouth by itself."
Xu Xiangjuan saw Gua Gua sucking a piece of sweet potato noodles directly, and he sucked it for a long time.
Guagua’s mouth is not as big as his dad’s. Dad can scoop up a lot of hot and sour noodles with one chopstick and finish half a bowl of hot and sour noodles in one gulp.
"Your teacher is right. Children should not suck the food. It will choke them... Aning, don't suck it. Try to bite it off. If you can't bite it off, keep it hot for a while." Xu Xiangjuan directly ordered Zhou Chengning, who was eating happily next to her.
Not only children may choke, adults may choke too.
Zhou Chengning bit it off as his lover said: "Juan, it's very easy to bite off."
After saying that, he continued to sip.
Xu Xiangjuan: "Don't eat so fast. The soup on your clothes will be hard to wash."
Niu Niu had already eaten dinner, but seeing his father and sister enjoying the sex, he couldn't help but shout that he wanted to have some too.
Without caring about the father and daughter, Xu Xiangjuan went to calm the agitated Niu Niu.
The hot and sour noodles I made in the evening did not have vegetable soup, but just mixed various ingredients together. The taste would have been better if vegetable soup had been used.
After the hot and sour soup and malatang business is established, she will consider making bone soup. However, she cannot guarantee whether this business can last long. Compared with hot and sour noodles, cold noodles are more distinctive and sell better.
The business of steamed buns and steamed buns is relatively stable at the moment. I can sell them if I steam a set every day.
If you can get a large quantity, that would be great.
For rice bowls, first take a look at the sales of hot and sour noodles and spicy hot pot. If these two are selling well, there is no need to add rice bowls to the menu.
Zhou Chengning: "Juan, it's delicious, but not spicy enough."
Xu Xiangjuan untied Guagua's bib and, upon hearing her husband's words, she scolded him, "How spicy do you want it to be? If you get blisters on the corners of your mouth, you won't be able to eat for a few days."
Zhou Chengning: "If I'm hungry, I can definitely eat."
Xu Xiangjuan: "I'll let you go hungry for two meals then."
"Mom, don't starve Dad. One meal is enough. Dad eats a lot, so he definitely can't handle two meals."
Gua Gua actually seriously considered starving his father.
"Guagua is right. Dad can't stand skipping one or two meals." She didn't know for a moment whether her daughter was pleading for her father or adding insult to injury.
Niu Niu was roaring on the side, as if he was standing on the same front with his mother and sister.
Zhou Chengning didn't feel isolated: "It's okay to skip a meal, I'll just have to eat more to make up for it later."
Xu Xiangjuan: "You wish."
...
The time for selling steamed buns is usually in the morning. Usually, Zhou Chengning and Gua Gua leave, and then the steamers are moved out to start selling.
"This looks really spicy." The lady who came to buy steamed buns saw Wu Caifeng bringing over a bowl of hot and sour noodles, and her attention was instantly attracted.
Wu Caifeng brought out the hot and sour noodles on a tray for the "helper" to eat: "It tastes okay, not that spicy. The weather is cool, and the hot and sour noodles are hot and refreshing. But I haven't seen any young man want to eat hot and sour noodles so early in the morning."
The aroma of the hot and sour noodles immediately wafted into everyone's nose. Even in a fully ventilated place outdoors, the smell dissipated quickly, but it still couldn't change the fact that it was overbearing.
Wu Caifeng's nephew Wu Zhong already had the "script lines" and followed his aunt's words: "I'm so hungry, this hot and sour rice noodle is delicious, and it's perfect with steamed buns."
Xu Xiangjuan put a big steamed bun on a plate and gave it to her cousin.
Customers don’t come to buy steamed buns every day, and Xu Xiangjuan seldom sees customers who come every day, so customers never ask when new products will be released.
The price of hot and sour noodles is the same as that of cold noodles, 80 cents a bowl, which is written on the sign.
The time when my cousin was performing while eating was when there were more customers. At this time, many people saw the young man concentrating on slurping noodles and asked what he was eating, saying it looked very spicy.
When there were no more customers, Wu Caifeng said to her nephew, "I'm a reincarnated hungry ghost. I told you to eat slowly and for a long time. But you've eaten it all in a short time. What will we do when customers come later?"
"Aunt, it's so delicious, I couldn't help it." Wu Zhong was embarrassed to say that it felt like there wasn't much, so how could it be eaten up so quickly.
It looks like a lot.
Xu Xiangjuan used coarse sweet potato noodles, which of course were not particularly coarse. Coarse noodles definitely take longer to cook than fine noodles. When she asked Aning to taste the food before, she tried to bite it off. If she could bite it off easily, it meant that it was cooked relatively successfully. Today, my cousin ate it in a similar way to her husband, wolfing it down.
Xu Xiangjuan: "Mom, if Zhongzi is still edible after eating, just cook another bowl."
Wu Zhong immediately flattered her: "Sister is still the best, she is beautiful and kind."
Wu Caifeng: "What? Do you want another bowl?"
Wu Zhong asked tentatively, "Auntie, is that not possible? I want to have another bowl."
If his aunt doesn't agree, no matter what nice words his sister says, it will be of no use.
Wu Caifeng: "No, no, go to the fields and help, we don't need you here."
Wu Zhong came to help with the autumn harvest, and because he was a lively person, he was asked to stay behind by his aunt and cousin to act as a helper.
The heavy rain in the summer also had a great impact on Wu Caifeng's hometown, but their village was not a large farming village, and every household did not think of any other remedial measures except to feel sorry for the few vegetables they had.
It’s different in Maodong Village. The area is vast and the population is sparse. Even after the remedial work, a large amount of manpower is still needed to carry out the autumn harvest.
Wu Zhong and his brother Wu Yi volunteer to help with the autumn harvest every year. Of course, no matter how stingy Wu Caifeng is, she will still give her nephews some food to take away.
We can't treat these two young men unfairly.
Xu Xiangjuan: "Zhong Zi, it's not good to eat like this so early in the morning. If you want to eat, I'll cook it for you in the evening. Then call Brother Yi."
"Sister is still the best. Well, sister, aunt, I'm going to work." Wu Zhong took the remaining half of the steamed bun and carried a hoe to work in the field.
After the nephew left, Wu Caifeng said, "The young man's stomach is like a bottomless pit. Didn't he have porridge in the morning?"
Fearing that eating hot and sour noodles on an empty stomach would be bad for the stomach, Xu Xiangjuan let her cousin drink porridge to fill her stomach. Her cousin had already drunk two bowls of porridge with side dishes, and now he can actually eat a bowl of hot and sour noodles and half a big steamed bun without changing his expression.
Xu Xiangjuan: "Mom, let alone Zhongzi, a grown man, even dad would eat so much if he didn't stop me."
Aning is a glutton, and Niu Niu has a big appetite when he grows up.
Wu Caifeng: "I won't stop him now. I want him to eat more."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Just come as usual, Dad."
There are very few fat men in the village. In the village, being fat means that the family is relatively wealthy. Xu Xiangjuan actually doesn't quite agree with this view, but when she thinks about her father and several people in Wang Qiang's family, well, they are exceptions and are more in line with the example of "fat = wealthy".
Her father was fat before the typhoon, but he lost a lot of weight in the past few months working in the fields...Xu Xiangjuan also understood that her father was indeed bloated before.
With Wu Zhong's performance as the lead, Xu Xiangjuan's hot and sour noodle business was truly opened.
The Wu brothers rarely come to Maodong Village, only two or three times a year, so the villagers are relatively unfamiliar with them.
At dinner time, Xu Xiangjuan did not miss the opportunity to promote herself and asked her cousin and her husband to slurp the hot and sour noodles outside.
Because there was hot and sour noodles, there was no need to add side dishes, but the three of us had rice or steamed buns.
Xu Xiangjuan sat at the "cash register" taking care of Niu Niu. Dinner was cooked early. Guagua and his grandparents were eating inside, and three men were eating hot and sour noodles outside.
"They are eating hot and sour noodles, right?" A young man passed by and saw three men concentrating on eating hot and sour noodles. He could even hear the sound of them slurping the noodles. After hesitating for a while, he came over and asked.
The strong fragrance in the air was also one of the reasons why he came in to inquire.
Xu Xiangjuan stuffed the toy into Niu Niu's hand and said to the customer, "Yes, hot and sour noodles."
"Give me a bowl, 80 cents, right?"
"Yes, would you like it mildly spicy, medium spicy or very spicy? Some of our dishes look spicy but are not spicy enough to taste." After waiting for a whole day, a customer for hot and sour noodles finally came.
"I want medium spicy."
"Okay, I'll make it for you right away. Sit at that table and wait a moment. It will be ready soon." Xu Xiangjuan carried Niu Niu to the kitchen.
After Xu Xiangjuan left, Wu Zhong spoke up: "It's a pity that it's not in our village. If you want to eat it, you have to run a long way here."
Wu Yi rarely cooperated with his brother: "It's a bit far, not very convenient."
My younger brother has been muttering about hot and sour noodles in my ear all day long. His ears are almost callused from it. When I ate it tonight, I realized that he was not exaggerating.
Zhou Chengning: "I can eat whatever I want, but Juan won't let me eat too much because she wants to do business."
The main reason is that I think he will get a sore throat if he eats it, so I don’t let him eat too much.
Wu Zhong: ...I always feel like my cousin's husband is showing off.
My cousin's husband has changed. He is no longer the man who is always behind my cousin.
As his cousin, he could see clearly how protective his cousin was. In the past, whenever his aunt said something bad about his cousin's husband, his cousin would be the first one to stand up against his mother.
Overtly or secretly, he once saw his cousin not going against his aunt, but instead turned around and comforted her cousin's husband in the kitchen.
Now it seems that my aunt is not so critical of my cousin's husband. I guess my cousin has finally helped my aunt to eliminate her prejudice against her husband.
The wedding of my cousin and her husband was a lively one, but my cousin's courage has always been used by her mother as a negative example to warn her sister.
But it was of no use. Instead, his cousin's example made his sister more determined to find a partner of her own.
The brothers Wu Yi and Wu Zhong do not have the rebellious spirit like their sister and cousin. They get married when they find the right partner.
Now that I think about it, his mother shouldn't nag his sister all day long, otherwise his sister wouldn't have such a rebellious mentality.
When guests came, Niu Niu was put in his chair in the kitchen. Xu Xiangjuan cooked noodles, and Gua Gua ran out to see the guests.
Gua Gua ran to the gate of the courtyard, confirmed that there were really guests coming, and ran back immediately.
The children came and went in a hurry. The three adults didn't say anything and continued to eat noodles. Zhou Chengning waited for his cousins to finish eating before going in to clean up the dishes.
Xu Xiangjuan didn't keep the customer waiting for long and served the hot and sour noodles out right away.
The customer finally slurped up the hot and sour noodles, and the feeling after the first bite was that it was indeed delicious!
Xu Xiangjuan will pinch off the uneven segments of the sweet potato noodles. It’s okay if the parts are slightly thin, but if the thick parts are protruding, they must be pinched off, otherwise it will affect the taste of the hot and sour noodles.
The noodles also need to be soaked in water, which takes even more effort than making cold noodles.
