After leaving Lihua Lane, Li Shuping first went to the pharmacy to pick up a set of marinade ingredients.
I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some lotus roots, dried tofu, potatoes, peanuts, and two pounds of dragon bones.
She originally wanted to buy a pig's trotter, but the supply and marketing cooperative was out of stock, leaving only this little bit of dragon bone.
After a simple meal, Li Shuping started to cook stewed food.
Long Gu was put into the pot first, and Li Shuping put into another pot to boil a dozen clean eggs.
When the dragon bones are almost cooked, put the boiled and peeled eggs, soaked kelp, lotus root, potatoes, dried tofu, and peanuts into the pot.
When the potatoes can be pierced by chopsticks, turn off the heat and let all the ingredients soak in the braising soup.
Li Shuping stayed awake again with some noodles, planning to steam some buns in the evening to eat with the braised dishes.
There was no business at the stall, so Zhou Cuilan thought about what Li Shuping said, so she simply closed the stall, took the things back home, and went to look for her.
Before I even got close, I could smell the aroma of a particularly fragrant stew.
The door of the shop was ajar. Zhou Cuilan raised her hand and knocked on the door, then pushed it open and asked in a low voice, "Is Sister Li home?"
Li Shuping was in the backyard. When she heard Zhou Cuilan's voice, she came to the front.
"I'm here, come in quickly, the braised dishes are just ready and soaking."
Zhou Cuilan walked into the room with a smile, "I can smell the aroma of braised food wafting from your store from a distance."
The smell is much better than that of tea eggs, and it makes people greedy just by smelling it. If it were really sold at a stall, this fragrance would attract many people to buy it.
"Just sit there, I'll go get some for you to try."
Zhou Cuilan looked around the shop and thought to herself that this shop was really great. If it opened for business tomorrow, the business would surely be very good.
Li Shuping scooped up two dragon bones, two eggs, and some vegetables as well, then took out two pairs of chopsticks and took them out.
"Come and try it." Li Shuping put the plate of braised dishes on the table and handed a pair of chopsticks to Zhou Cuilan.
The latter looked at the temptingly colored braised dishes and swallowed his saliva. The red-marinated braised eggs and dragon bones were so appetizing.
Li Shuping: "Try it. You're welcome."
Zhou Cuilan licked her lips. Although she wanted to eat the dragon bones, she still picked the egg.
As soon as the egg entered her mouth, she stared in amazement.
The braised eggs were very fragrant, with a strong and rich aroma. They were just soaked for a shorter time, so the taste was a little lighter. Even so, they were better than the tea eggs she made.
"What?"
Li Shuping waited until she swallowed before asking.
Zhou Cuilan gave a thumbs up, "Sister Li, you are really this, not only the dumplings are delicious, but also the braised dishes are excellent. This braised egg is much more fragrant than the tea eggs I make."
Li Shuping: "Try this braised dragon bone and other vegetarian dishes."
Zhou Cuilan stuffed the remaining half of the egg into her mouth and tried all the other vegetarian dishes before tasting the dragon bone with embarrassment.
Braised meat is different from braised vegetables. It is so delicious that Zhou Cuilan couldn't help laughing.
Li Shuping was gnawing on the dragon bone. She hadn't eaten braised pork bones for a long time. It was so delicious.
She hadn't eaten any real meat for two or three years before her rebirth. When she was in the nursing home, she had feces that stunk from eating meat, and the nurses were unwilling to feed her meat.
The more this person eats, the more she poops. In order to let her poop more, the nurse only gives her half a bowl of food when she eats.
At night she was so hungry that she wanted to scrape the wall to eat.
"Sister Li, I want to learn your skill of stewing dishes. Please teach me."
If I sell braised eggs like this, I will definitely be able to outperform Liu Mingxiang.
Moreover, she can sell not only braised eggs, but also braised peanuts, lotus roots, kelp, dried tofu and other vegetarian dishes.
These stewed dishes are best paired with wine. There are so many people living in Lihua Lane, and there must be many people who want to have a sip or two. Such stewed dishes with wine must sell well.
"The craftsmanship of my stewed dishes is not cheap." Li Shuping stated in advance.
Zhou Cuilan waved her hand, "It's okay, I'm willing to learn no matter how much money it costs. I'll do my best to win Liu Mingxiang!"
"Okay, I'll teach you!"
Li Shuping charged Zhou Cuilan two yuan for teaching her the art of stewing dishes.
The tuition fee was not expensive. Zhou Cuilan used to only sell tea eggs and could earn ten thousand per month.
After learning the skill of making stewed dishes, she can sell not only stewed eggs but also stewed dishes.
If business is good, I can earn back the tuition fee in less than two months.
Moreover, once you learn this art, it will be yours and will last a lifetime.
Zhou Cuilan went home to get the money, and Li Shuping wrote down the recipe for the marinade for her, and taught her how to add sugar color, what ingredients to put into the pot when, how long to cook, and how to control the heat.
As the saying goes, a master can only lead you to the door, but practice is up to you. He teaches you the recipes and methods, but it depends on you how well you can make it.
Of course, if you encounter any problems, you can ask Master Li Shuping.
As for Zhao's mother, after having dinner at home and resting until two o'clock, she went out again with her bag.
Her son-in-law's house was quite far away, in the southernmost part, and it took more than an hour to get there by bus, and then more than 20 minutes to walk.
I don't know what's wrong with the bus today, it was wobbling and driving very slowly, it stopped for a long time at the station, and many people got on and off the bus.
By the time she arrived at her son-in-law's house, it was almost midnight.
Her son-in-law lived in the staff quarters of the water plant, which consisted of two seven-story buildings.
My son-in-law's house is on the third floor. It's not too low or too high, but it's still tiring to climb up like this.
These days, high-rise buildings are all good houses, but Zhao's mother doesn't like living in a high-rise building because climbing stairs is too tiring.
Mother Zhao climbed up the stairs and walked to the door of her son-in-law's house. Just as she was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, she froze when she heard words from inside the room.
"Xiaoyan, don't lie there, get up and prepare dinner. It will be delicious when Wenguang comes back from work."
The voice in the room came from her mother-in-law, Cao Zhaodi, and the tone was very impolite.
Where is the kindness that he had when he was here?
Before she left, Cao Zhaodi promised to take good care of Xiaoyan, not to mention housework, she wouldn't even let her get out of bed.
But how long has it been? This Cao Zhaodi actually asked her Xiaoyan, who was about to give birth in the next two days, to cook!
"Mom, my stomach is so tight that I can't cook. Please cook dinner for me." Xiaoyan said while touching her stomach while lying on the bed.
When 꿗꿢 was cooking, her stomach felt tight and now she still feels uncomfortable.
Cao Zhaodi, who was standing at the door of the bedroom, glared, "When I gave birth to Wenguang, I was still carrying manure to water the fields. We are all women, how can you be more valuable than me? You can't even cook a meal? Before giving birth, do more work in the fields, and the baby will be born faster."
"Hurry up and cook. Stop being so pretentious." Cao Zhaodi urged impatiently.
Xiaoyan closed her eyes helplessly, grabbed the bed frame and was about to get up when she heard someone knocking on the door.
"I'll open the door." Xiaoyan's 14-year-old daughter Yingying ran to the door and opened it.
"Oh, it's grandma." Yingying saw the person outside the door and happily hugged her grandma's legs.
Yingying likes her grandmother the most. As soon as her grandmother left, her grandmother became mean to her and her mother, saying that Yingying was a money-loser and asked Yingying to sweep the floor, pour water and massage her legs.
When Cao Zhaodi saw Zhao's mother outside the door, her expression froze and she even stuttered.
"Dear, dear, why are you back again?"
