the next day.
Lu Shengye drove over just as dawn broke.
They first went to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and got five doses of herbal medicine. The doctor was very kind and, when he learned that they didn't have time, he said he could help them decoct the medicine and that they could pick it up in the afternoon.
Master Yang's blacksmith shop is not far from this clinic.
They also picked up the stall cart.
The car is very well made; it's almost a complete replica of the design draft given by Jiang Xuan.
"Mom, school's closed today, let's go to Xiguan Road."
Jiang Xuan was thinking of taking a look at the street-facing shop that Master Liu had mentioned.
"Shengye, go home first, wash the stall cart's countertop, then go to the state-run store and buy all the vegetables. While you're at it, wash them at home. Don't forget to take the sauces, tools, packaging paper, and so on."
"good."
Lu Shengye got on his tricycle and went back.
Jiang Xuan looked at the military vehicle parked by the roadside, feeling helpless. She had no problem driving, but the problem was that she didn't have a driver's license.
"Mom, Shengye might not be here for a while. Let me take you to have breakfast first."
"I'm not eating, I'm not hungry at all."
"That won't do. Let's go, I'll take you to eat noodles."
He Yinhua had a poor appetite, so Jiang Xuan only ordered one bowl of noodles, and the mother and daughter ate together.
Lu Shengye arrived an hour and a half later.
He kept his stall very organized, with everything arranged in its proper place. He even shredded all the vegetables, such as scallions and cucumbers, and brought a bucket of water for Jiang Xuan to wash his hands.
I have to say, this man is incredibly useful.
"Okay, then you drive my mom over there first."
Jiang Xuan pedaled his tricycle toward Xiguan Road.
When she arrived, Lu Shengye and the others were already there.
There aren't many people on Xiguan Road yet; many stalls are just starting to set up.
Lu Shengye: "Then I'll head back first. This car was borrowed temporarily; they'll need it later."
"Okay, go ahead. By the way, is the presentation of that design draft today or tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow, it's Diandian and Fanxing's birthday today."
Jiang Xuan nodded, "Okay, then go ahead."
Jiang Xuan set up her stall at the T-junction, washed her hands, and quickly began preparations.
He Yinhua looked at it intently.
"Mom, let's prepare the dough first. Generally, one cup of flour can make 10 pancakes. Add a little salt, and then knead it into a ball, just like we usually do."
"The main thing is to knead the dough until it's smooth." Jiang Xuan placed the kneaded dough on the work surface and kneaded it with his palm. "After kneading, it needs to rest for about 15 minutes."
Jiang Xuan covered the dough with a clean, damp cloth, "This will help retain the moisture in the dough."
"While the dough is resting, you can prepare the eggs and chopped green onions."
Jiang Xuan took out a few eggs and a bowl of chopped green onions, then cracked an egg into another bowl and gently stirred it with chopsticks.
When she estimated that the dough had risen enough, Jiang Xuan lifted the rag and said, "It's usually ready like this. Then just divide it into small portions and roll them into thin pancakes."
"Brush a little oil in the pan before making the pancakes." Jiang Xuan turned on the gas stove and poured in the oil.
After the oil was heated, the pancake was put in.
The dough slowly changed color.
"Mom, this is the crucial moment, watch carefully."
Jiang Xuan picked up her chopsticks and poked a few small holes in the pancake, then quickly poured in the beaten egg mixture.
He Yinhua watched as the egg liquid seeped into the pancake, slowly releasing its aroma.
"Then we flip it over and fry the other side until golden brown as well." Jiang Xuan flipped the pancake.
After the pancake was cooked, she brushed sauce on it, added vegetables, and rolled it up.
Then put the rolled pancakes into a packaging bag.
"Mom, you eat this."
He Yinhua smiled and said, "I just ate noodles and I can't eat anymore. Xuanxuan, where did you learn how to make this pancake? It looks delicious."
"I figured it out myself, Mom. Why don't you give it a try?"
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
"We'll make a few more while there are still fewer people, and then we'll start selling them."
As expected of someone who makes pancakes often, He Yinhua had already figured out the technique of poking holes after making just two.
"Xuanxuan, do you think this is okay?"
"Yes, there are two kinds of sauces, this one is spicy and this one is not spicy. And the two packages are also different."
He Yinhua tasted some of the sauce with her finger. "Xuanxuan, where did you buy this sauce? It smells delicious."
"I didn't buy it; I developed it myself. I'll teach you how to make it later."
Jiang Xuan shouted, "Selling egg pancakes! Freshly made, nutritious and delicious!"
Gradually, some people were drawn over.
There are many snacks on Xiguan Road, but no stuffed pancakes.
Other stalls selling things like fresh meat patties exist, but none are as well-equipped with glass as this one.
Jiang Xuan cut the prepared pancakes into small portions and placed them on two plates, saying, "These are freshly made egg pancakes, made with fresh and hygienic ingredients. Everyone is welcome to try them."
Can I try it?
An older woman who was about to go grocery shopping asked, "Is it free to try? Can I try it and not buy anything?"
Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "Of course you can. If you don't like it after trying it, you don't have to buy it."
The woman took a bite and nodded, "It's really delicious. Did you buy this sauce from a state-run store? It tastes different from the one I bought."
"No, I did it myself."
"Huh? You made this yourself?"
Everyone eagerly began to try it.
Jiang Xuan nodded, "Yes, the recipe for this sauce is very clean and hygienic, and there is nothing harmful to the human body."
"Can I buy a bottle of your sauce?"
Jiang Xuan smiled and shook her head, "Not today, I still need to make pancakes. If you need them, Auntie, I'll make some extra these next few days and bring them to you next Saturday morning."
"Okay, then I'll buy a guanbing (a type of Chinese pancake) first. How much?"
"50 cents."
For such a large portion, 50 cents isn't expensive.
Especially on a commercial street like Xiguan Road.
"Then I'll have one too."
Jiang Xuan said, "Thank you everyone. Please put the money in this box. My hands are still busy making noodles, so I won't handle the money."
This person is very particular about hygiene, and everyone likes him as soon as they hear that.
In no time, all four freshly made pancakes were sold out.
"I'd like a spicy one too, but wait, they're all gone?"
"It's okay, I'll make it for you right here. Just wait a few minutes."
He Yinhua was already helping to fill the eggs.
A moment later, she took out the guanbing (a type of flatbread) and placed it on Jiang Xuan's side.
The person ordering the pancake said, "Can I not have carrots?"
"Sure, I'll add more cucumber for you."
Jiang Xuan deftly rolled up the pancake.
More and more people gathered around the stall, and Jiang Xuan and He Yinhua became even busier.
He Yinhua increasingly felt that her daughter was outstanding.
They are good at studying and also good at making money.
She wanted to keep helping her like this, but alas, fate wouldn't allow it.
These days are numbered; there won't be many more.
Happy Dragon Boat Festival, babies!
