Over the next few days, Xiaoxi made excuses and dragged her feet, barely managing to get the basics of the shumai technique right, but Fifth Brother Ye Xingxian thought it was done very well.
Even when Ye Xingxian went to the kitchen to help Xiaoxi, he took care of all the food preparation.
Xiaoxi is a foodie, but that doesn't mean she's a food connoisseur.
Xiaoxi believes that after going through the whole process of cooking, handling the ingredients by hand until they are cooked and ready to eat, she actually loses her appetite.
The seven-day National Day holiday has come to an end.
Xiaoxi and Fifth Brother saw the trending topic on Weibo: "[Happiness Orchard overcharges customers, reported and shut down]".
"Oh dear, Fifth Brother, we still haven't found out who's behind this?"
“Our people have found out that a total of 22 people have been infected in the past seven days. I suspect that Happiness Orchard reported itself.”
"Yeah, that's true. There were eight before, now there are twenty-two. They've made a lot of money. With the weather getting colder, who would want to go into the water and go through the trouble of doing a triathlon?"
"Xiaoxi is smart! So from now on, let's focus on shumai. I've decided, we'll set up a shumai stall tonight!"
"Oh my god!!!"
Xiaoxi grabbed her face with both hands, her eyes wide with terror.
Before Xiaoxi could even express her opinion, Ye Xingxian rushed upstairs to tell her father, Ye Yuanda, about it.
Ye Yuan naturally supported Ye Xingxian and Xiao Xi setting up a stall to sell shumai.
Firstly, the brother and sister need to solve the mystery of the orchard as soon as possible. Secondly, setting up a stall can also enhance the fifth son's experience of the world.
Xiao Xi has experienced it since she was a child, and she should take Ye Xingxian, who is detached from worldly affairs, to experience it properly.
So, what can Xiaoxi say about Fifth Brother setting up a stall?
Anyway, she used the excuse that she had to go to school during the day, and Fifth Brother would prepare all the ingredients for her daily meals by tricycle!
Therefore, Xiaoxi and her fifth brother moved to a large apartment in the city center.
Ye Xingxian bought a high-end apartment in a residential community specifically for setting up a night market. It's a 270-square-meter flat with a small courtyard on the first floor, making it easy for tricycles to come and go freely.
It seems I really need to buy shumai tonight, and Xiaoxi can't help but take it seriously.
That was during school hours. She didn't sleep through the whole morning; she only slept for two periods, and spent the other two periods looking at recipes.
The teachers and students were puzzled. Today, the two biggest sleepyheads in the class, Ye Xiaoxi and Xie Yujie, were both wondering why Ye Xiaoxi only slept for two classes and then stopped, seemingly deep in thought.
In fact, Xiaoxi was flipping through the book "The Imperial Chef's Record" in her mind.
The book says: glutinous rice flour should be soaked for more than four hours, crushed, and then steamed in a steamer.
Use high-gluten flour, add water as needed, knead into a dough, let it rest for 10 minutes, then let it rise for 40 minutes.
The key is the dough. When rolling out the dough, it should be thinner than dumpling wrappers, and you should also prepare cornstarch to coat the dough.
Next comes preparing the filling...
Xiaoxi has a photographic memory, and once she takes things seriously, she learns even faster.
Ye Xingxian, who was at home, was also a little nervous. He had never set up a food stall in his life, and probably never in his past life either.
At this point, he decided to go to the nearby market to buy meat and other ingredients.
The butcher had never seen such a good-looking person before. She accidentally cut off too much meat with her knife, and when it came time to pay, she undercharged her.
Ye Xingxian doesn't pay attention to these details and gives whatever amount is asked for.
When the older woman put the meat into a bag and handed it to Ye Xingxian, she slowly squeezed Ye Xingxian's hand.
That's so cheesy! When Ye Xingxian went to buy fresh bamboo shoots, she was also pinched on the hand by a greasy middle-aged man.
