Seeing his wife's determined look, the barbecue stall owner had no choice but to watch her struggle.
He had no hope that his wife would make money selling steamed buns.
There are indeed many people buying steamed buns at Huaguo Mountain every day.
But they were all attracted by the steamed buns sold by the stall owner.
Although those people were all waiting for steamed buns, not just anyone selling steamed buns could have such good business.
He'd tried to persuade her, but she wouldn't listen. She was determined to keep going until she hit a brick wall, and he was at his wit's end.
Let my wife try it. If she makes a huge batch of buns and can't sell them by night, she'll learn her lesson.
......
At this time, Zhang Mingyuan also added the contact information of his blind date.
After asking the woman if she had any thoughts about tomorrow's blind date.
His first thought was of what his father had said about Lin Zhou selling porridge on the top of Qinhuang Mountain this morning.
In order not to affect his work during the day.
The blind date was set up at Qinhuang Mountain. They would climb the mountain together, have porridge at the top, and then go down the mountain. It wouldn't interfere with his work.
What a wonderful thing!
So he arranged to meet the woman at six o'clock in the morning at Qinhuang Mountain to climb the mountain together.
Zhang Mingyuan has become very curious about Lin Zhou now that his father keeps talking about him.
Mainly, he really wanted to see what kind of people sold porridge on the mountaintop at six in the morning. He couldn't imagine it, so he decided to go and see, and also bring a bowl of porridge back to his dad.
This will prevent the person from treating him with disdain because he didn't get to eat steamed buns last week.
On the other side, the daughter of the CEO of Jiangsheng Company was stunned when she saw the news late at night!
Who goes on a blind date and invites a girl hiking at 6 a.m.?
Is this reasonable?
But she still agreed, mainly because Zhang Mingyuan was a well-known young talent in the industry. Although he wasn't particularly handsome, he was young and capable, and his wealth made him very charming. He was the preferred son-in-law of many CEOs in the industry.
Her father has made it clear that this blind date is very important and will benefit the cooperation between the two companies. If it goes well, they will get engaged; if not, they will discuss it later.
Therefore, she couldn't possibly act like a spoiled princess and simply refuse to go.
And just now, they asked her if she had any thoughts on tomorrow's blind date arrangements.
She replied that it was fine with either option, and she would listen to him.
Now, everything has been arranged, but it wasn't what she expected.
"Okay, I'll be there on time tomorrow."
After replying to the message, Lu Qian saw that there was no reply from the other end for a long time, and her face turned green with anger.
She had given up hope of going on this blind date.
......
Lin Zhou woke up the next day.
At two o'clock in the morning, he returned from the market after buying groceries.
The rice is still soaked first, and then the abalone is processed.
Hold the palm-sized abalone tightly in your hand, then insert chopsticks into the abalone shell and rotate them to remove the abalone. Clean the internal organs and then use a soft brush to clean the surface of the abalone.
One by one, the abalone were processed using the same method, and in no time they were ready.
Then, pour water into a pot and bring it to a boil. Add the cleaned abalone and blanch for about one minute. Remove the abalone and pour the broth into a bowl for later use.
The abalone, after being boiled once, was soft, bouncy, and plump. The pale yellow abalone meat felt great in the hand. Lin Zhou quickly diced all the abalone meat.
Pour sesame oil into a stainless steel pot, and once the oil is hot, add the chopped abalone meat and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the soaked rice.
In a short time, the diced abalone and rice in the pot were stir-fried evenly. When the fresh and fragrant aroma gradually wafted out of the pot, the abalone broth that had just been poured out was added, and the mixture was stirred continuously with a wooden spatula.
When the rice has softened and is almost cooked, add the remaining half of the broth and continue stirring with a wooden spatula.
Once the rice is cooked, turn the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally with a wooden spatula.
Gradually, the abalone congee became thick, and the snow-white rice grains were tinged with the pale yellow of the abalone, blooming as they cooked. The fragrance of the congee mixed with the savory aroma of the abalone filled the entire kitchen. Finally, Lin Zhou added some salt to taste, sprinkled on some chopped green onions, and it was done.
Lin Zhou shook his aching wrist and turned off the stove. The abalone congee still needed to simmer for a while.
Smelling the delicious aroma of abalone congee in the air, Lin Zhou took the opportunity to quickly stir-fry some hot and sour shredded potatoes, intending to eat them with the congee.
You need to eat a full breakfast to have the energy to climb the mountain.
When the lid was opened again, the thick abalone congee, pale yellow in color, was topped with snow-white abalone meat and bright green scallions. Steam rose as the lid was opened, and the rich, fresh aroma made Lin Zhou's mouth water.
"It smells so good!"
The abalone's umami flavor is completely absorbed by the rice during stewing. In this process, the rice acts like tiny sponges, absorbing the abalone's flavor and the rice grains themselves, expanding continuously until it bursts open.
Each grain of rice bursts open during cooking, absorbing its essence and overflowing, creating a delicious fusion of ingredients.
Looking at the beautiful color, Lin Zhou sighed with relief that he hadn't thrown away the abalone's innards.
Actually, the innards of abalone can be stir-fried until fragrant and then cooked into porridge.
However, the color and shape of that thing were very unappetizing, so Lin Zhou stopped using it.
If the porridge is stained a dark green like the color of offal, although the abalone flavor will be stronger, it will reduce your appetite.
The bright green porridge couldn't compare to the appetizing pale yellow rice porridge.
It feels like the gains don't outweigh the losses.
The ready-made abalone congee is delicious.
The abalone pieces were stewed for over an hour and became as soft and sticky as rice grains.
One bite and you're greeted with a rich, savory flavor, while its chewy texture adds a unique touch that makes it impossible to ignore.
It has a tender and smooth texture, and an extremely delicious flavor, making even rice porridge taste exceptionally good.
This porridge is so delicious!
Today's abalone congee has a generous amount of abalone, and the taste is superb. At 100 yuan a serving, it shouldn't be as hard to sell as yesterday's sweet potato congee!
After eating and drinking his fill, Lin Zhou confidently headed out with his abalone porridge.
Arriving at the familiar foot of the mountain, we first parked the tricycle, then picked up the carrying pole and began to climb the mountain.
After climbing for two consecutive days, he could clearly feel that his physical strength and endurance had improved, and his body felt much lighter.
Unlike before, I no longer feel drowsy and lack energy every day.
It's true that exercising is beneficial!
Upon reaching the mountaintop, he first took out a loudspeaker and played the promotional slogan he had recorded before leaving.
"Abalone congee, fragrant abalone congee! 100 yuan a bowl, you won't regret it, it's so delicious you'll cry!"
The loud and jarring horn noise immediately attracted the attention of the tourists on the mountaintop.
It was only six o'clock, and there weren't many people on the mountaintop.
The tourists watched Lin Zhou unload the goods and listened to the announcements over the loudspeaker, then fell silent.
A new day, and so are the new tourists.
Few people climb mountains every day.
When people heard that a bowl of porridge cost 100 yuan, they just watched without going forward.
"Boss, do you even get business selling at such high prices?"
A tourist in the crowd asked curiously.
