Chuan Chuan Xiang makes a stunning appearance
Can this be as delicious as tofu pudding and sweet potato cakes? It would be better to just sell tofu pudding and sweet potato cakes.
Shen Tianyou thought so, but he was also the one who enjoyed the meal the most in the evening.
As Shen Roujiao cooked the first batch of skewers, the aroma of sesame filled the whole yard. Her three brothers sneezed while guarding the door frame, unwilling to leave for a moment.
When he saw Shen Roujiao picking skewers, his eyes were wide open.
Obviously, they were all common vegetables and some wild vegetables, but after being blanched in the pot, the flavor changed completely, making people's appetites come out. They were red and fragrant, and the three of them couldn't stop swallowing their saliva.
"Little sister, are you okay?" Shen Tianyou asked while swallowing his saliva, his eyes almost looking up.
Shen Roujiao burst into laughter and handed three bunches of vegetables to her three brothers.
"Brothers, try it and see how it tastes and whether it can be sold." A pair of crescent eyes curved.
"Little sister, please stop talking bad about us. It's us brothers who are blind." The three admitted their mistakes in a good manner. Shen Tianyou was the one who couldn't control himself the most. After he finished speaking, he took a bunch of vegetables from Shen Roujiao's hand.
Not wanting to let even a drop of juice flow down, Shen Tianyou quickly put the blanched vegetables into his mouth and slurped them.
“It’s delicious!”
"Second brother, third brother, please eat quickly. Second brother will have to bring some to eldest brother later." Shen Roujiao stuffed two bunches of vegetables into the hands of Shen Tiancheng and Shen Tiannan respectively.
They had all lived through hard times, and the two of them were reluctant to let the juice fall to the ground, so they took it in their hands and immediately stuffed it into their mouths.
The refreshing taste of green vegetables and the spicy taste of peppers mixed together have a unique flavor, not to mention the umami flavor mixed in the juice.
When Shen Roujiao was cooking the pot of soup, she not only added a lot of chili peppers and peppercorns, but also a few shrimps.
There is a big river in Guzhuang. The day before yesterday, Shen's father took the eldest son Shen Tianbei and the second son Shen Tiancheng to jump into the river to catch shrimps.
There were still a few crabs, but the people of Guzhuang don't eat crabs, so Shen's father and his two companions caught them and then released them. Shen Roujiao was heartbroken when she found out later, and the three companions repeatedly promised to bring them home for her if they caught any more in the future.
"If I hadn't told you, I would have forgotten. Why didn't big brother come back today?" Shen Tianyou was sweating profusely while eating, but he was reluctant to miss a skewer.
This snack is so addictive!
"Brother, there is a problem at work."
Shen Roujiao said: "I have some rice porridge in the pot. Second brother, please serve some to eldest brother and let him eat it with it."
"Okay, don't worry, little sister." After dinner, Shen Tiancheng walked out holding a small pot. Their family was too poor and had no means of transportation. A bicycle cost a lot of money.
Not long after he left, Shen Roujiao and the other two also set off for the place where they had set up their stall during the day.
To her surprise, someone was already waiting there when she arrived.
"Hey, my dear aunt, you are finally here. Do you have sweet potato cakes tonight? Your cakes have kept me full all day." Zhang Qingjie complained bitterly, "I didn't even eat lunch today."
After eating the tofu pudding and sweet potato cakes made by Shen Roujiao, he found the rice from the factory hard to swallow.
“No sweet potato pancakes tonight.”
"Ah?" Zhang Qingjie retreated and asked for the next best thing, "There's always tofu curd, give me two salty ones."
“There’s no tofu pudding either.”
Zhang Qingjie:!
"But there are chuanchuanxiang." Shen Roujiao continued: "Tofu pudding and sweet potato cakes are more suitable for breakfast. Brother Zhang, would you like some?"
Shen Roujiao signaled to her fourth brother to lift the lid, and the overbearing fragrance instantly filled the entire street.
In the 1970s, this thing had never been seen in the countryside, and many people looked over to find out.
"Chuanchuanxiang? What is that?"
"Brother Zhang, try it. If you think it's delicious, you can buy more." Shen Roujiao took out a bunch of vegetables and handed it to Zhang Qingjie.
"This is so embarrassing." He said this while moving very quickly without letting a drop of juice fall to the ground.
As the vegetables entered his mouth, Zhang Qingjie felt that his taste buds were extremely satisfied. He never thought that this thing could be eaten in this way, and the key is that it is so delicious.
After swallowing it quickly, Zhang Qingjie couldn't wait to try the others, "Give me twenty skewers, not thirty!" If he wanted to eat to his heart's content, forty skewers would not be enough.
"Brother Zhang can choose for himself." Shen Roujiao pointed to the pot of boiled vegetables, which contained cabbage, green vegetables, tofu, radish, etc. She added: "There is also pear juice, four cents a cup."
Pear juice is squeezed from wild pears in the mountains. It has a sweet and sour taste and is very appetizing.
"Have a drink." Zhang Qingjie said without hesitation.
Shen Roujiao handed him an empty bowl, and Zhang Qingjie filled his own.
"I was wondering why Brother Zhang was riding so fast. It turns out he came to see the boss. What is the boss selling tonight?" The man who came was from the same factory as Zhang Qingjie, and he was one of the guests Zhang Qingjie treated this morning.
However, he did not give the sweet potato cake to Zhang Qingjie, but ate it himself.
"Chuan Chuan Xiang." Shen Roujiao introduced and took out a bunch of vegetables and handed it to the other party. The other party leaned over to look at the stewed vegetables in the pot. He was about to say something when Zhang Qingjie reached out and stuffed the skewer into his mouth.
"It's such a waste to let your family eat it. So much juice has been lost." Zhang Qingjie felt distressed.
Qi Nanhua: ...
He almost spit out the vegetables, but when his lips and teeth touched, a strange taste spread in his mouth. The chili was overbearing and filled his mouth. The vegetables were cooked soft and tender without losing moisture.
tasty!
His eyes widened instantly.
Zhang Qingjie was very proud, "How is it? It tastes good, right? If you follow me, I will never lie to you."
Qi Nanhua didn't bother to argue with him. He smacked his lips after finishing his vegetables and said, "Boss, give me thirty skewers." He glanced at the bowl in Zhang Qingjie's hand and the skewers inside and said, "Do you want to choose for yourself?"
"Yes." Shen Roujiao said, "There is freshly squeezed pear juice here, do you want some?"
"Yes, yes, yes. One cup."
Qi Nanhua took the bowl and chopsticks handed to him by Shen Tiannan, and pushed Zhang Qingjie away with his butt, "Take a skewer, why are you so slow?"
Zhang Qingjie: …
With the two movable signboards of Zhang Qingjie and Qi Nanhua, as well as the group of people who had eaten tofu pudding in the morning, Shen Roujiao's skewers were selling quite smoothly.
Pear juice isn't selling that well.
After all, it only costs four cents, and you can buy sixteen skewers. Many people would rather endure the spiciness and drink water at home than spend money on a bottle of pear juice.
"Little sister, there is still so much pear juice left, what should I do?"
I have only sold four portions since the stall opened.
"No rush. It's okay even if we can't sell them." Shen Tiannan said, "These skewers are enough for us to make back our investment." He patted Shen Laosi and whispered, "Don't put pressure on me."
"Yes, Third Brother is right. Fourth Brother loves this pear juice. At worst, I can drink it all." Shen Tianyou said immediately with a start.
Zhang Qingjie finished his 40 skewers and came to pay. Including the pear juice, the total was 1.4 cents. "Boss, can I take some of these skewers away?"
Pack?
Shen Roujiao looked at Zhang Qingjie, "Brother Zhang, are you not full?"
Zhang Qingjie shook his head quickly, his face slightly red.
Qi Nanhua on the side pointed out, "He's not eating it for himself."
He was about to continue talking, but Zhang Qingjie kicked him and said, "You are the only one with a mouth?"
"You like a girl, but you don't want others to tell you? But I say you better be careful and don't let others fool you."
"Get lost."
Zhang Qingjie kicked Qi Nanhua again, this kick was much heavier than the previous one.
"A guy who values women over friendship." Qi Nanhua snorted, "Boss, I want another 40 skewers and two bowls of pear juice... 1.8 cents a pair?" Qi Nanhua paid and muttered as he selected the skewers, "Boss, don't be like Zhang Qingjie. He only thinks about that girl every day and forgets his mother and father."
"It's nothing like me. I bring these skewers for my family. The boss makes delicious and novel food for them to try." He seemed to be taking credit.
Shen Roujiao chuckled, she would not interfere in the guests' affairs.
After Qi Nanhua made his selection, she poured spicy soup over the skewers. After they left, Zhang Qingjie came forward with an embarrassed look on his face and asked for another 40 skewers and a bowl of pear juice.
He clarified sheepishly: "My parents are not here, they are in the county town, there are much more delicious food than here... I..." He scratched his head, and his voice became smaller and smaller.
Shen Tianyou was a straightforward person and wanted to speak, but Shen Roujiao held him back. She smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, put all your skewers in the lunch box. They are better to eat while they are hot."
First of all, the customer's affairs had nothing to do with them. Zhang Qingjie was a severe love-brain patient. In the original text, he chased the girl all the way to Shenzhen City, and only came to his senses after a big setback.
Secondly, Zhang Qingjie is the most loyal fan of the stall, and the advertising effect is top-notch. Adhering to the concept that customers are God, emotional value must be given in place!
Seeing that the young boss did not expose him, Zhang Qingjie took the skewers and happily rode away on his bicycle.
…
As it got darker, the market stalls began to disperse, and Shen Roujiao and her two siblings began to pack up after selling all their vegetables.
"It's a pity that the pear juice cannot be preserved today." Shen Tiannan sighed. He picked these pears one by one from the mountain.
"It's not a pity. There are still six bowls left, just enough for everyone in our family to have one bowl." Shen Roujiao said.
They sold a total of 1,644 skewers that night, four skewers at one cent, eggs at ten cents a skewers, vegetable skewers for four dollars and a half, and four skewers of eggs for a total of four dollars and a half.
I sold nine bowls of pear juice for thirty-six cents.
I didn't spend any money on vegetables, but I spent two cents on peppers.
They made a net profit of $4.65 tonight!
When Shen Roujiao said this number, the other two were stunned.
They all knew that they sold a lot of skewers today, but they didn't expect to make so much money.
At this rate, I can pay back the twenty yuan in three days, not to mention ten days!
Two dollars in the morning, four dollars and sixty-five cents in the evening, six dollars and sixty-five cents for the whole day!
Shen Tiannan looked at his younger sister with a complicated expression. Even if his father, second brother, and eldest brother worked themselves to death in a day, they couldn't earn that much money.
They returned home in high spirits, but were met with silence.
My eldest brother was suspended from work.
