Chapter 64 Chapter 64 Their store just opened like this...
Ning Shixia hugged her mother's legs with one hand and her father's legs with the other, and began to act coquettishly, trying to get away with it.
Zhao Ruyue tapped her daughter's forehead in annoyance and amusement: "You two clever little ghosts."
Who hasn’t envied the people on TV who opened their mouths wide and took a bite of a big American hot dog when they were little?
Even adults have imagined what the hot dogs on TV, with sausage, vegetables, and sauce sandwiched in bread, would taste like.
It’s just that adults have too many things to think about when they grow up, and it’s easy for them to forget these little wishes from childhood.
Ning Shaoming squatted down beside his daughter and took away the small bag of bread she had secretly brought out: "This kind of bread is less than half the size of my palm, and it can't be used to make hot dogs. Wait, Dad will make you a few big ones, which can hold the ham sausage."
Zhao Ruyue also moved a stool out and sat down, picked up the ham sausage and helped them string it onto bamboo sticks: "This ham sausage is not delicious if it is roasted like this, you can give them some barbecue sauce."
Ning Shaoming responded, stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
They have been busy all day and are now free.
I bought a lot of things today, and also rented a lot of pots, pans, and utensils from someone who specializes in renting out banquet utensils.
The originally empty kitchen was filled with a lot of things, and all kinds of sauces were available.
Although I won’t be making any grilled dishes tomorrow, I still have a lot of cumin powder left over from roasting lamb last time, which I can use now.
Unfortunately, no matter how many seasonings you have at home, they are not as many as those in hotels. The barbecue sauces in hotels include salty, spicy, sweet and many other kinds.
Even nuts are ground into powder to enhance the flavor.
They don't have these at home, and the children can't eat chili peppers.
Ning Shaoming could only use soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, lemon juice and cumin to make a simple sweet and sour barbecue sauce that suits children's taste.
He prepared the sauce and took a look at the ingredients he had bought in advance. There was no refrigerator at home, so he only bought some vegetables that could last longer, and the meat they were originally going to bring back to the old house to cook tonight.
After the separation, each family was supposed to eat separately, but the eldest sister-in-law said that there were only her and her daughter left in her family, and it was too troublesome to cook, so she never cooked.
Before the Wenju wine, their family cannot cook by themselves, and they have to eat with the two old people, but the meat for the house is usually bought by them.
Ning Shaoming simply took out the meat, cut it into thin slices, marinated it with onion, ginger, rice wine and a little salt to remove the fishy smell, and then took it out.
"I see there are quite a few skewers. Let's skewer the meat and grill it."
The two children responded immediately and actively picked up the skewers to learn how to skewer the meat.
After putting the meat down, Ning Shaoming went to the grocery store to buy a few packets of yeast powder, and then went into the kitchen to process the flour.
It takes some time to knead the dough and let it ferment, but fortunately the temperature here is not low, so there is no need to wait long.
While waiting, Ning Shaoming cleaned the grill twice and boiled it again at high temperature for disinfection.
Then, a layer of wood ash is spread under the small square brick oven to prevent the charcoal fire from directly contacting the cement floor and causing the ground to crack.
Then put the red-hot charcoal in, put the grill on it, and brush a thin layer of oil on the surface of the grill to prevent it from sticking when grilling.
After doing all this, he finally announced: "You can start grilling now. Bring over the ham sausages you have skewered."
Ning Shixia immediately handed over a few strings of sausages and squatted beside him, looking at them expectantly.
Ning Shaoming flipped the skewers in his hands and said, "This kind of ham sausage is actually not the sausage in the hot dog. I will make it for you next time when I have time."
The ham sausage is already cooked and can be baked quickly, but after cutting it and brushing it with oil, bake it a little longer so that the cut parts will become crispy.
When its skin becomes wrinkled, it feels a little chewy when your teeth first touch the skin when you bite it.
The flavor of the ham itself, plus the rich flavor of the barbecue sauce.
The two children and an old child ate with their eyes shining, and after eating, they stared at the oven eagerly.
Ning Shaoming stood up and gave up his seat: "You guys bake it first, I'll go see if the dough is ready."
In order to reduce the time it takes to let the dough rise, he reused the water used to wash the grill, added some cold water to cool it down to about 40 degrees, and placed the basin over the warm water to let the dough rise.
Now when I went to check, I saw that the dough had indeed risen.
Knead the dough, divide it into small pieces, shape them into the desired shapes, then put them in a pot for secondary fermentation and steam them.
While the buns were still steaming, Ning Shaoming saw that all the ingredients were ready, and he used an empty plastic bottle as a beating tool to make some mayonnaise.
The two children were waiting eagerly, and when they heard that the bread with ham was ready, they ran into the kitchen excitedly and were dumbfounded.
"Why is it a big steamed bun?"
"Dad lied to the kid!"
Ning Shiqiu: "Although Dad made these steamed buns into the shape of bread, they are still big white steamed buns!"
Ning Shixia: "That's right, we kids are not easy to fool!"
Ning Shaoming was in no hurry to explain, and only said: "You will know in a moment."
He took the steamed buns outside, put them on the grill, first dried the surface a little, then brushed them with a little oil and grilled them again.
After brushing with oil and baking, poke the surface of the steamed bun and you can hear a crispy sound.
He baked the steamed buns until the surface was slightly golden, and then cut the bread-shaped steamed buns in the middle.
Put a piece of washed and dried lettuce, a few slices of grilled meat, and a grilled ham.
Then he held it in front of the two children and asked, "Look, does it look like bread now?"
They said in unison: "Yes!"
Then they clapped and cheered: "Dad is so awesome!"
"Dad is the Invincible Little Chinese Chef! No, he's the Invincible Big Chinese Chef!"
Ning Shaoming looked at the children's admiring eyes and was so proud of their praise that he promised: "Dad will make it for you every day in the future!"
"Ahem!" Zhao Ruyue immediately coughed a few times to remind him that the baked buns were very hot, and if children ate too much, they would definitely get a sore throat. How could they be made every day?
Unfortunately, she coughed too late, and her father's words had already been spoken.
The two children looked at Zhao Ruyue pitifully, making her feel embarrassed to refuse.
I can only take a step back: "If you don't need to bake it, you can make it every day, otherwise you will have to wait to go to your third grandfather's house to get bitter medicine to eat."
Ning Shixia was so frightened that she covered her mouth and uttered a muffled voice: "I don't want to take bitter medicine!"
Ning Shiqiu took a look at the hot dog and said hesitantly, "Then, will there be this kind of sweet and fragrant sauce in the future?"
He may not eat other things, but this sauce is so delicious that he likes it so much that he can't bear to give it up.
Zhao Ruyue looked at Ning Shaoming, who recalled his sour hands after making mayonnaise without a whisk: "Wait until I go to the county town to buy a machine. You can eat it whenever you want. In the future, when you eat steamed buns in the morning, you can break them apart and spread a little sauce on them and eat them with it."
While the family was discussing, Ningda said he had something to do and had to leave for a while.
When he came back, he was holding a bag of spicy strips in his hand. As soon as he approached, he handed it to Ning Shaoming: "Old Third, please help me grill a piece of this. I want to eat it in that dog."
Ning Shaoming was stunned for a moment, then took over: "Dad, I didn't expect you to be so fashionable and even eat spicy noodles."
Ning Shixia said: "Dad, don't you know? Grandpa likes to eat rock candy and spicy strips the most."
He really didn’t know…
Ning Shaoming felt a little guilty that he didn't even understand his father as well as his daughter did.
He showed concern for her in a rare moment: "Don't eat too much of this. It's easy to get angry. You have to take care of your health when you're old..."
Ning Da only had his eyes on his spicy noodles. He interrupted his son impatiently and said, "Oh, I know, I know. Who is the father? You are more long-winded than me. Bake it quickly! I can eat another one. I will just have a few mouthfuls of porridge for dinner tonight."
Ning Shaoming: “…”
I couldn't win the argument, so I had to accept my fate and start grilling spicy strips.
There are many spices in spicy strips, and the aroma when roasted is different from that of barbecue. The aroma is even more overbearing than that of barbecue.
Ning Shaoming makes hot dogs quite quickly, and when he makes too many he places them on a large stainless steel tray next to him.
I was thinking of sending the children back to the old house later to let their grandmother, aunt, cousins and others try them.
He also has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the hot dogs on the tray are arranged neatly by him, making them look particularly pleasing to the eye.
This time is just when students are going home after shopping at the market after school. The aroma of the spicy strips wafts out, attracting many people to come.
I stood far away and looked around, but didn't see any sign. I was a little unsure if this was a store, so I hesitated and didn't dare to go forward.
A fat boy stood there for a while, unable to resist the temptation, and walked a few steps closer and asked nervously, "Boss, how much is this?"
Several people who were happily barbecuing were stunned.
Ning Shiqiu reacted the fastest. He came to his senses and answered immediately, "One dollar each. It contains grilled spicy strips, ham sausage grilled with my dad's special barbecue sauce, grilled meat, and the sweet sauce that only my dad can make in town. Try it. This sauce is delicious. I love it."
As he spoke, he took two unused bamboo sticks, scooped up some mayonnaise and let the fat boy taste it.
The fat boy just thought that one dollar was too expensive. Before the price of rice noodles increased to 60 cents a bowl, he could eat two bowls of rice noodles with one dollar.
But after hearing what Ning Shiqiu said, and taking a closer look, I realized that there was indeed a lot of stuff in it, and I felt that it seemed like a good deal to be able to buy so many things for one dollar.
He tasted the sweet sauce again, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He felt that one dollar was not just a good deal, but a great deal!
He was happy to pay for the sweet sauce.
The little fat man took out a dollar and handed it over: "Then give me one, I want the one with more sweet sauce, okay?"
"Of course, if you like this sauce, I can add a little more for you." Ning Shiqiu took the money, and the others also reacted.
The adults subconsciously thought that if he wanted to eat, he could take one and eat it for fun without paying.
But Ning Shixia had already cooperated with his brother's actions, went into the kitchen, took out a plastic bag that his parents bought today and handed it to his brother.
These plastic bags were prepared for the relatives who would come to dinner tomorrow, so that they could pack up the leftover food and take it home.
Ning Shiqiu smiled as he packed for the little fat boy: "Today is the first day our family sells things, and we haven't had time to prepare oil paper. Do you think it's okay to use plastic bags?"
The little fat boy smelled the aroma coming from the oven next to him, swallowed his saliva and nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay."
At this time, other people who were attracted by the fragrance also came over here.
While his brother was busy packing for people, Ning Shixia noticed those people.
They also seemed to be very interested in the things in their own home.
She looked down and counted the few hot dogs left.
He rolled his eyes and took out another skewer of barbecue and stuffed it into the fat boy's hand.
Then he said loudly: "You are the first customer, so I will give you an extra skewer of barbecue. Everyone who buys hot dogs today will get an extra skewer of barbecue. There are only five hot dogs left. Once these are sold, there will be no more. There will be no more tomorrow."
As soon as she finished speaking, the fastest person hurried over and took out two dollars: "I want two. Can you give me two skewers of barbecue?"
The two children's actions left the three adults nearby stunned.
Their store just opened like this?
