Chapter 43: Steamed Beef Ribs I can’t do this job for long…
Chapter 43
Cousin Lin arrived home at 3:40 in the afternoon.
"Sister, you're back early." Lin Mujin hurriedly and attentively waited on her. "Brother, go get some water."
She started peeling bananas.
Cousin Lin sank down on the sofa with a frown on her face.
Lin Mujin noticed something was wrong. "What's wrong, sister? Is someone bullying you?"
Cousin Lin sighed, "I don't know if I saw it wrong, but I think a nearby stall owner came to buy hot noodles this afternoon."
Then he added, "It just looks familiar, but I'm not entirely sure. Do you think they're trying to... copy us?"
Lin Mujin muttered, "So fast?"
She thought that if the business was booming, others would follow suit. After all, hot noodles are not a difficult snack to make.
You will understand it once you see it, and it is not difficult if you think about it.
The other ingredients are a little bit difficult, but not too difficult.
Besides, there is no need for the food to taste exactly like hers, as long as it is similar.
"Sister, don't think too much. The law can't stop you from following the trend anyway. Let's just calm down first." Lin Mujin was the first to comfort her, not wanting her cousin to be too anxious.
Seeing her frown finally relax, she continued, "I've discovered a secret: the inland is vast and rich in resources, with a wide variety of delicious foods. If the hot noodles are confiscated, we can always make something else."
So being followed is a problem, but not a particularly serious problem.
Cousin Lin stared at Lin Mujin brightly. "Do you still want to learn from your classmates?"
Lin Mujin complained in her heart, her classmate is a gourmet. "No, you can go to the library, there are books on food."
Cousin Lin nodded in confusion, "Oh."
Lin Muli interjected, "Books are the golden house."
Lin Mujin stuffed a banana into her cousin's mouth and said, "Don't worry, sister. Everything will work out in time. Besides, you have to have faith in us. We have a recipe and have done several experiments. It shouldn't be too difficult for them to replicate it perfectly after just a few tries."
Cousin Lin felt that what A-mei said made sense, and she felt relieved. She finished her banana in a few bites and started to take out money. She shouted into the bedroom, "Dad, take out the money. A-mei, A-di, you count the money. I'm going to go wash the bucket and basin."
Lin Mujin also stood up and said, "Brother, you count twice. I'll go cook. We're going to make beef tonight, so we have to cook it in advance."
The two sisters went to the kitchen together.
"Sister, Xiao Li bought two pounds of beef ribs, and I plan to steam them." Lin Mujin asked her cousin if she had any other ways to eat them.
Cousin Lin touched it directly and said, "Xiao Li is quite good at shopping. It's very tender. Let's steam it."
Lin Mujin washes the beef, cuts it into sections, and then blanches it in cold water. Don't forget the three ingredients: cooking wine, green onions, and ginger.
Remove the beef ribs from the boiling water after two minutes.
Find a large plate, put green onion segments and ginger slices on the bottom, place the beef ribs neatly, add a few slices of ginger on top, and then put them into the steamer. They need to be steamed for an hour.
"Sister, we need a pressure cooker at home, otherwise it takes too long to stew meat."
Sister Lin put the washed basin and bucket away, as they would be used tomorrow. "Buy it. We saw that inland one in the mall before. What's it called? It's not expensive."
Lin Mujin also remembered, "Double Happiness."
Cousin Lin nodded in confirmation. "Yes, that's the brand. It's only over 80 yuan."
Lin Mujin thought to herself, the word "talent" is used well!
It turns out that money is the courage of a hero. When you have money, you can speak with confidence.
"I don't have time. Let my brother go buy it after he rests." Cousin Lin turned and asked, "Sister, how much meat do you think we should buy tomorrow?"
Lin Mujin guessed, "You want to buy 20 kilograms?"
Cousin Lin nodded and said, "I don't want to come back so early. I want to make more money, just in case others start selling hot noodles."
Lin Mujin knew that her cousin still remembered this. "Then buy some and make another half bucket of hot dough."
Cousin Lin agreed, "I think it's okay. It won't be sold out."
Lin Mujin still reminded, "Tomorrow there will be only three of us, and Xiaoli has to go to school."
That is, there is no drainage.
Cousin Lin suddenly felt a little unsure again, "Then...a little less."
Lin Mujin thought of another question: what should she do with her manuscript?
Looks like I'll have to work harder tonight and tomorrow morning.
"It's not much. If we can't sell it all, our family can still eat it. It won't be wasted." Lin Mujin gave her confidence. "Sister, do you have anything else to do?"
Cousin Lin shook her head, "No more."
Lin Mujin immediately gave up the task and said, "Sister, you can make dinner. I'm going back to my room to write. I'm afraid I won't have much time tomorrow."
When cousin Lin heard this, she immediately pushed the person and said, "Go quickly, and leave the kitchen to me."
Lin Mujin went back to the house.
When Lin Muli saw her, he immediately jumped up and asked, "Sister, guess how much you earned today?"
Lin Mujin began to speculate. Yesterday it was over 2,200. Today, there were three more pounds of meat, so the rice milk should be more. "Two thousand six?"
Lin Muli was stunned. "How did you know? You heard me talking to Uncle. Two thousand six hundred and eighty-four yuan."
Lin Mujin applauded, "That's quite a lot!"
She could get 1,342 dollars, and after deducting the 1,000 dollars she gave to her cousin, she would still have 342 dollars left.
The day after tomorrow she will be debt-free.
I will increase the amount tomorrow. If nothing goes wrong, I will earn more. Just thinking about it makes me happy!
But now she has to go write the manuscript, "Brother, go to the kitchen and help sister."
Find a kitchen helper for my cousin.
Seeing Lin Mujin pouting, Lin Mujin said, "The remaining money from today's grocery shopping is yours."
Lin Mulu went away happily.
He only earned three dollars an hour working part-time at the drug store during the holidays, but now he can earn more than ten dollars by helping out in the kitchen. Only a fool would not do that.
Lin Mujin said a few words to the old man and then went into the house and locked the door.
When she came out again, it was dinner time and the food was already served.
Steamed beef ribs, braised spare ribs, steamed egg with clams, stir-fried pork belly with celery, and fish ball soup.
The staple food is steamed rice.
The fly rubbed his hands together and said, "These are all my favorite foods."
Sit down quickly, Lin Muli is serving food to the whole family.
Lin Mujin patted his arm and said, "I only need half a bowl. There are so many dishes."
How can the food be as delicious as the dishes?
After the old man picked up his chopsticks, Lin Mujin went for the beef ribs, dipped them in the sauce and put them in her mouth, enjoying the original flavor of the beef.
“The beef ribs are so tender!”
Cousin Lin was also eating. "It's good. No wonder you specifically asked for ribs."
Lin Mujin is eating her second piece. "Beef brisket is best stewed, tenderloin is best stir-fried, and ribs are best steamed. Different places have different ways of cooking them."
Cousin Lin laughed, "You're the only one with so many tricks!"
Lin Mujin kept talking and went to scoop up some soup.
Cousin Lin took the bowl directly and scooped out most of it, which was full of fish balls.
Lin Mujin took it with both hands, "Brother still loves me."
Cousin Lin was unhappy, "I don't love you."
Lin Mujin shrank her head and said, "It hurts, it hurts."
Cousin Lin coughed and said, "Something happened... I might not be able to keep this job for long."
