Chapter 148 Are you really teaching me?
Tong Xiayue has been very busy recently because of these cakes. After the first batch of cakes were sold, everyone gave very good feedback. The people who had been waiting and watching before heard that they were very delicious, and they all started to place orders and make reservations.
For a while, as long as someone in the well-off families in Beijing had a birthday, the cake made by Tong Xiayue would definitely be on the table!
Time passed quickly, and everyone was busy every day. Although she made a lot of money, Tong Xiayue's goal was not just Beijing...
She always wanted to expand her business to the whole country!
However, the policy has not been relaxed yet, so she can only endure it for a few years.
It has been almost half a year since I came from the book, and everything has adapted well. It's just that recently, maybe because of my pregnancy, I always crave some things in the real world.
This is not difficult for Tong Xiayue, because all these things are available in the space. Even if they are not to her liking, she can make them in the space.
The weather in August is really too hot. Everyone has to gather around the stove every day, sweating all day long, and has no appetite...
Recently, Tong Xiayue's body is getting heavier and heavier, and the meals are made by Zhao Qian. It's not good to fight, and the pickled vegetables made every day can't be eaten. The weather is hot and they can't be kept, so they can only be thrown away.
Zhao Qian said with regret: "Alas... tomorrow we won't cook the pickled mustard greens. I don't think anyone will eat much."
Zhang Cuihua said helplessly: "It's too hot. I can't eat anything. Not to mention them, I don't want to eat anything recently."
Tong Xiayue has also felt the same way recently. A few days ago, she felt hungry and wanted to eat everything. After the temperature rose in the past two days, she really doesn't want to eat anything. Before
transmigrating into the book, the best thing to do in this kind of weather is to eat popsicles in the air-conditioned room with the air conditioning on!
Thinking of this, Tong Xiayue had an idea: "Oh, I remembered, there is something that is just right for eating these two days!"
Zhang Cuihua became interested: "What is it?"
Tong Xiayue smiled and said, "Wait, I'll cook at noon today." Xu
Duoduo, who was sitting on the side reading a book, smiled and said, "What new things are you going to make?"
Tong Xiayue: "Wait!"
After that, she turned around and went to the kitchen, and then heard the sound of cutting vegetables coming from the kitchen...
Xu Duoduo was sitting in the yard reading a book and listening to the movement in the kitchen. He was also curious, thinking about the delicious food Tong Xiayue had made before, and was full of expectations for the things this time.
After a while, Tong Xiayue came out with two bowls, and Zhang Cuihua hurried over to her: "Sister-in-law, this is... noodles?"
Zhao Qian and Xu Duoduo also came over and saw noodles in the bowl, covered with a layer of cucumber and carrot shreds, some bean sprouts, and a little chili oil on top!
Tong Xiayue handed the bowl to Zhang Cuihua and said with a smile: "Let's go! Eat!"
Everyone came to the dining table with their own bowls. Xu Duoduo has always been confident in Tong Xiayue's cooking skills. He picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and started eating, then praised: "Wow, the noodles are cold! So comfortable!"
Zhang Cuihua and Zhao Qian also took a bite. Zhang Cuihua smiled and said: "It's so cool! It's so comfortable to eat in this weather!"
Zhao Qian also felt not as hot as before: "Sister-in-law, what kind of noodles is this? It's really delicious. It doesn't look like there's anything in it. It's cool and tastes really good!"
Tong Xiayue picked up the noodles: "This is called cold noodles! It's just right for summer."
Not long after, everyone finished the whole bowl of cold noodles in front of them. Not only did they fill their stomachs, but they were not hot at all!
Unlike before when I was sweating every time I ate...
Cold noodles are really a delicacy that can relieve the heat and stimulate the appetite. In the real world, it is also a must-have in summer!
After cooking the noodles, Tong Xiayue directly chilled them in a bowl with well water. This way, the noodles are not easy to clump together and can still maintain a cool taste. Other vegetables are also easy to buy in this season, and almost every household has them, but this sauce is her exclusive recipe!
She mashed the garlic, then poured hot oil on it, and then added soy sauce, vinegar, salt, sugar, and sesame paste!
After eating, several people still felt unsatisfied. Zhao Qian smiled and said, "It's delicious! Make more for Jiamu and the others tomorrow. It's even hotter in Dajia Lane!"
Tong Xiayue smiled and said, "Okay, this is very easy to make. I can make some for them in the evening. I'll make more and send it over tomorrow."
Xu Duoduo has gained weight since he came to help in the courtyard, and his complexion has also improved a lot. This is really thanks to Tong Xiayue. He eats well every day here, and it's hard not to gain weight.
Xu's father also started working in Dajia Lane. Tong Xiayue paid the two of them three yuan per person per day, and the two of them could earn six yuan a day!
This is something they never dared to think about. When they were pulling coal, they could earn one yuan a day, which was already a lot, and they had to endure all kinds of cold eyes...
Both father and daughter are very grateful to Tong Xiayue, so they have been working very hard!
With this salary, the living conditions of the family of three have gradually improved. The younger sister can continue to study, and she is also preparing to change a slightly larger house for the family. The place they live in now is worse than a warehouse, and there is no window. Now they have to sleep with the door open at night in summer...
They enjoy the current situation very much. Everything is getting better slowly. This is the appearance of life!
In the afternoon, after Tong Xiayue prepared everything, she called Xu Duoduo in: "Duoduo, let me teach you how to make cold noodles, do you want to learn?"
Xu Duoduo was shocked: "Ah? You really want to teach me?"
Tong Xiayue looked at her surprise and smiled: "Yeah, what? Don't you want to learn?"
Xu Duoduo shook her hands and said: "No! No! Of course I want to learn! Don't you have to keep these things to yourself? I dare not tell anyone these secret recipes! You also... You taught me how to decorate cakes. If you keep going like this, aren't you afraid that I will go out and do it myself? !"
After hearing what Xu Duoduo said, Tong Xiayue smiled and said, "It's okay. I still don't believe you? And I told you before, don't employ people you doubt, and don't doubt people you employ! Remember this sentence, you will meet a lot of people in the future, so keep your eyes open!"
In Xu Duoduo's heart, Tong Xiayue is not only her benefactor, but also her noble person. He helped her make money, taught her skills, and now he is taking her to learn together!
Where can you find such a person? People nowadays are hiding their talents, so Xu Duoduo is very grateful to Tong Xiayue!
Tong Xiayue actually wanted to train Xu Duoduo. She wanted to assign some business to her in the future. It would definitely not work if she relied on herself. There must be a few useful people around her.
Xu Duoduo followed Tong Xiayue to the kitchen. Tong Xiayue taught her how to cut and prepare the vegetables step by step, and then taught her how to mix the sauce: "Duoduo, you have to remember the ingredients of this sauce. Whether the cold noodles are delicious depends on the sauce, and chili oil is also the key!"
Xu Duoduo looked at the unfamiliar seasonings in front of her and asked in confusion: "Xiayue, I have never seen these things in the supply and marketing cooperative. Where did you buy them?"
Of course, she had never seen these before. She took them out of the space, but she couldn't tell her the truth.
Tong Xiayue: "I collected these from various places. People will send some to me regularly."
Xu Duoduo didn't doubt it, but just thought it was amazing.
She was very smart. Every time Tong Xiayue taught her, she would learn it. After a while, several bowls of cold noodles were ready. Tong Xiayue tasted it and found that it tasted similar to what she made. It would definitely be better if she made it a few more times!
