Su Jiang has always been good with his hands, and as he spoke, he dragged the basin to the well in the backyard.
They filled a bucket with water and began rinsing the pig intestines.
For a moment, Su An was left out in the cold, and could only stand aside and watch her younger brother wash pig intestines.
After taking a look, Su An noticed that Su Jiang was quick and efficient, so he didn't insist on doing the work himself.
He went into the kitchen again and brought out a basin of flour. "Xiao Jiang, after the pig intestines have been rinsed enough, spread the flour evenly on the inside and outside of the intestines and gently rub them. Wash them several times so that the pig intestines will be cleaner."
Su Jiang nodded in agreement.
Su An then led the little girl Su Yue into the kitchen.
Once inside the kitchen, Su An washed some bones, started a pot of water to boil, and added bones, scallions, ginger, and spices to begin simmering the bone broth.
Then he went to prepare the ingredients for making steamed buns, and had the little girl sit in front of the pot, adding a little firewood from time to time.
In less than half an hour, the side dishes, pig intestines, and bone broth were all prepared.
Su Ansheng prepared the bone broth, cleaned the pot, boiled water, added scallions and ginger, cut the large intestine into sections, blanched it, and took it out when the large intestine changed color. Then he prepared to start braising it.
Put spices, scallions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and salt into a pot, add bone broth and start cooking. Once the sauce is warm, add the large intestine and simmer over low heat.
However, after cooking for about fifteen minutes, the aroma had already filled the entire kitchen.
Then it rushed out of the kitchen and spread outside.
Before anyone knew it, a crowd had gathered outside Su's pancake shop.
Someone knocked on the door: "Hey Su family, what kind of food are you making? It smells amazing! Are you selling it?"
Su An naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to promote the business, and quickly opened the shop door.
By this time, the area outside the door was completely surrounded.
When the door opened, the people outside looked over with bright eyes, sniffing the room as they looked.
"It smells amazing! It smells so good!"
"Xiao An, has your family launched a new food item? Are you planning to sell it today? How much is it?!"
"It smells like meat to me, but what kind of meat? Your mother has never cooked this before!"
"The food we're going to launch is called steamed buns, and today we're making pork intestine steamed buns." Su An smiled and said very frankly, "The aroma right now is from making braised pork intestines. After the pork intestines are braised, we'll wrap them in bread and steam them. Please be patient, uncles and aunts, it will take another 15 minutes to make them."
"As for the price, it's not expensive; a pork intestine bun costs five qian."
Su An did not set a particularly high price for the steamed buns, intending to take a low-profit, high-volume approach.
However, this also means that to earn ten taels of silver, one must sell in large quantities, requiring at least two thousand buns to be sold.
In modern times, it would be normal for a breakfast stall to sell two thousand steamed buns in a morning.
But this was ancient times, and her shop didn't have many regular customers. The steamed buns were still a new product, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to sell that many at once.
However, Su An dared to set the price this way because he had already come up with a clever plan.
She decided to take advantage of her scumbag ex-fiancé who had passed the imperial examination.
Didn't you want to be a heartless man like Chen Shimei? Didn't you want to get rid of this troublesome woman? Didn't you think that even if she was abandoned, she would be afraid of damaging her reputation and dare not speak out?
So she moved all the tables and chairs outside the shop, facing the county school gate, and sold steamed buns under the name of "the abandoned fiancée of the newly appointed scholar," to promote him properly!
That bastard killed the original owner of this body. If she doesn't avenge the original owner, she doesn't deserve to use this body.
Perfect timing! There are two thousand people in the county school.
Most of those students were well-off and enjoyed eating good-tasting food. They used to look down on their sesame seed cakes, but now…
She refused to believe that they could resist coming to see such a huge piece of gossip.
Come and eat some melon seeds, how could they not be captivated by the fatty intestine buns?!
While pondering to himself, Su An smiled and said, "Uncles and aunts, if you're not in a hurry, you can sit in the teahouse next door and have some tea. Our pork intestine filling for the buns will be ready soon. The braised pork intestine is also delicious on its own. I'll have Xiao Jiang bring out a plate of pork intestine for you to try first."
As she spoke, she turned to the owner of the teahouse next door, "Uncle Lin, the smell of fatty intestines is strong, will it bother you?"
"No problem at all! Everyone is welcome to come to my house for tea. Not only can I have braised pork intestines, but you can also send over steamed buns when they're ready." Uncle Lin waved his hand quickly upon hearing this, feeling a surge of surprise and joy.
His family's teahouse was always relatively empty, and he had sighed about it countless times.
The way this young girl is saying things is now helping him attract customers.
He realized that the girl was thanking him for speaking up for her earlier.
Who would have thought that Su An would be so clever and perceptive?
That's really impressive!
Su An had no idea what Uncle Lin was thinking. After discussing it with Uncle Lin, she hurriedly went into the kitchen to get busy.
The dough had risen by now. Su An kneaded the dough and divided it into small portions.
Su Jiang followed Su An, helping Su An roll out the dumpling wrappers.
Su An then chopped the soaked mushrooms into small pieces, added them to the chopped pork intestines, along with onions and seasonings, and mixed them well to make the filling for the buns.
After making the filling, she took out a few pieces of pork intestine from the pot, sliced them into a plate, and said, "Xiao Jiang, Yue'er, come here."
Su Jiang responded, put down the bun wrapper in his hand, and came closer: "Big sister, do you want me to deliver the pork intestines to Uncle Lin?"
Just as he was about to take the braised pork intestines out, Su An stopped him, smiling and saying, "This is a delicious dish you and your sister made. How can you not try it?"
