Chapter 268 Preparation
The ingredients for the snack stall had all been planned in advance, so Ye Qian had already put these things aside and just took them out directly. There was jelly powder, milk powder, jelly cake powder, and bowl cake powder, and then orange juice and sour plum soup concentrate. Basically, these things just needed to be rinsed with hot water.
Ye Qian thought about it and realized that summer was coming soon and she would have to buy one in the next few days. She would have ice cream powder in the summer and could sell popsicles there.
You can't just sell jelly like this. No one will like it without any condiments. So she took out a lot of canned brown sugar, red beans, coconut flakes, hawthorn pieces, peanut pieces and other ingredients. These were all bought together from the shop that sells jelly. Ye Qian felt that the cans had not been touched for so many years. It was just right to do business now as it saved trouble. Otherwise, the red beans would be so difficult to cook.
I also took some bowls that were not needed much, so I could drink from them at that time. Later on, I would definitely let everyone bring their own bowls. This would be much cleaner. After all, conditions are limited now. Ye Qian did have disposable cups and bowls, but what if people got suspicious if she took them out like this? As long as they came to eat once, they would know to just bring a bowl next time.
After finishing the simple preparations, Ye Qian came out. She hadn't eaten lunch yet, so she went to the school across the street to have a quick lunch. When she came out of the school again, everyone was already there, waiting for her at the door. Chen Yuan spotted Ye Qian immediately and asked, "Why did you come out of school?"
"I prepared the braised meat shop and everything we need this morning. I went to school for lunch. I just finished eating. You came quite early." Ye Qian said and greeted the two aunts: "Auntie Wang, Auntie Zhang."
Aunt Wang pushed her son in a wheelchair and introduced him to Ye Qian: "I left in a hurry last time without having the chance to introduce you. This is my son, Shen Feng."
Ye Qian greeted with a smile, "Hello."
Shen Feng also greeted with a shy smile: "Hello."
"Now that everyone is here, let's go across the street." After saying that, he led the group across the street and came to the two shops in his family. Fu Shan went to open the door, and then Ye Qian pointed and said, "This is the clothing store. Our clothes have been stacked in advance. Aunt Zhang will work here during the day from now on."
After that, he walked over to the next door and opened it himself, saying as he opened the door: "This is a braised food shop. Everything you need is already inside. If you need anything, just tell us and we'll deliver it to you. Or you can just pay for it and tell us when you need it."
"We'll all be here this afternoon, so let's open the shop together. Starting tomorrow, two aunties will come to work the day shift. Each of the door locks will have its own lock. They don't need to go too early in the morning. We can open the door at 9 o'clock. In the afternoon, we will finish school around 4 or 5 o'clock. They can come and hand over to us and go home."
The two aunts agreed immediately, and Fu Shan, Liu Yubing and Aunt Zhang went directly to the opposite side to start work. Ye Qian asked He Jun to go over to help. The braised food shop here also started to get busy. They first used the stove inside and braised it now so that they could catch up with the group of people who got off work in the evening and buy more dishes. So they asked Chen Feng to watch the fire, pour the braising liquid in, add salt and boil it, and then add the meat that Ye Qian had cleaned and put aside in advance.
The batch that Ye Qian ordered from outside will not be delivered until the afternoon. Now these are all in Ye Qian's space. Speaking of meat, there is not much lean meat and pork belly, but there is quite a lot of fat. After all, Ye Qian doesn't like to eat it, and she is not short of oil and water. Then there are some internal organs such as pig ears, heart, liver, and pig intestines, and then some chicken feet, duck feet, lotus root, kelp, sausage, and the most important thing is peanuts, which are Ye Qian's favorite.
The big pot was only this big, and after putting a little of everything in, it was already a bit full. The braising liquid was about to overflow when it boiled, so she simply found a small pot, shook out the excess braising liquid, lit a small stove, and made some food. She then put it in front of the store to braising. The aroma instantly filled the air, attracting many people to watch.
Someone couldn't help but ask: "Your braised food is so delicious, are you selling it?"
Ye Qian immediately went over and said, "It's for sale, but it's not ready yet. Come back later. You can bring a bowl and I'll scoop some of the broth into it for you. It will be more fragrant."
"Oh, okay." The man responded with a smile. The people around remembered Ye Qian's words and silently decided to bring a big bowl over to buy it in the evening, put more soup in it, and try to stew it themselves when they get home.
Ye Qian is not stupid. She had thought of this situation a long time ago. Adding a little base would be good enough. And a big bowl of it, is that crazy?
The aroma of the stew wafted far and lingered, making many children cry with greed, pulling their parents or grandparents to eat it. Ye Qian also told them: "It will be ready around 5 o'clock. Bring a bowl and buy it. I will fill some stew for you. It will taste great when you go home and mix it with rice."
After hearing this, the child quickly pulled the adult home and said, "Go home and get the bowl, go home and get the bowl."
The small pot outside had little food in it and was already cooked. Ye Qian fished it out and put it in a large bowl. After it cooled for a while, she shared it with everyone to taste. Chen Yuan took a bite and couldn't help but sigh, "This tastes so good! Is braised food really this good?"
Zhang Yunyun couldn't help but pat Chen Yuan on the head. "You're dreaming! Haven't you made this before? It's so delicious! This flavor will definitely be a big hit."
Even Wang Qiong, the pickiest eater, couldn't help but nod, "Indeed, it tastes really good." She was a little worried at first, but after tasting it, she was relieved.
Ye Qian said to Aunt Hu Wang and Shen Feng who were busy in the kitchen, "Aunt Wang, if business is good, we will definitely have a lot of braised food every day. If you are too busy, tell me and I will add more people for you."
Aunt Wang smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay."
After finishing the braised food, Ye Qian took out the double-skin milk she had made that afternoon. After filling each person's bowl, she opened a can of red beans, added a large spoonful of red beans, and said, "Alright, let's eat." After that, she sent a few servings to the next room. When she came back, she exclaimed again, "What is this? How can it be so delicious?"
Wang Qiong had tried it before and said, "It tastes really good. It's better than what I made in BJ."
Ye Qian was a little bit unconvinced, but then she thought again, since she made it with egg white and milk, not powder, it should taste good. "Let me try." After saying that, she picked up her own bowl and ate faster. After finishing, she touched her mouth and nodded, "It's really delicious."
Chen Yuan looked at the empty bowls and endured for a long time. He couldn't help but said, "Can you have another bowl?"
