"Mmm, delicious, delicious, delicious!"
Yao Yulin wiped the sweat from her forehead caused by the spiciness and nodded repeatedly.
Most importantly, the fish fillets are pure white and have absolutely no bones—they're absolutely amazing.
"Haha, as long as it tastes good."
Zhiyin looked at the two of them with a smile, and suddenly remembered her experience of eating spicy boiled fish when she was in college.
There was a restaurant near the university that sold boiled fish and sauerkraut fish, and it was really delicious.
It was just too spicy. How spicy? My stomach hurt so much after eating it that I even bled when I went to the toilet.
But it smells so good, and the taste is so amazing, that it's impossible to resist the temptation! You can't help but be captivated by its deliciousness!
I feel uncomfortable all over if I don't eat for a day, as if something is missing.
To be honest, towards the end of the meal, she was basically just soaking rice in soup.
Even knowing that eating it would have adverse effects, I still couldn't resist.
And it's super cheap, and the portions are super generous.
It's only 15 yuan a serving, and one serving can probably last for two meals. It's absolutely amazing.
At the time, all her roommates liked the sauerkraut flavor, but she was the only one who was both unhealthy and loved to have fun, and only liked the spicy flavor.
She loved it so much that when she returned from a holiday and learned that the restaurant was no longer serving fish, she felt like the sky was falling.
There really is no substitute. It's not that I haven't tried other places, but their fish either still has bones and fish bones, or it's just really awful.
She couldn't take it anymore, so she gritted her teeth and begged the shopkeeper to make it for her every day. The shopkeeper was probably annoyed by her pestering, so he just gave her the recipe. After that, she learned to make it herself.
It just can't quite replicate their flavor one-to-one; it never quite captures the essence, but it's still very fragrant.
Thinking about this, she couldn't help but laugh at her past self.
After finishing their meal, Zhiyin started frying peanuts, shredded tofu, shredded kelp, shredded potatoes, and other essential side dishes for glutinous rice, such as some crispy pork cracklings made with fatty pork.
Put them into small bowls.
Then pour the steamed glutinous rice into a bowl, add some lard and soy sauce, and mix well.
"Alright, all done!"
Looking at the abundant dishes, Zhiyin smiled with satisfaction.
She could almost picture Xing Luxi and the others being captivated by the delicious food.
Sticky rice is so good!!
It will definitely give them a little shock!
"It's a pity we didn't have houttuynia cordata and pickled radish. We'll get them another time."
Zhiyin thought so, but didn't easily try adding houttuynia cordata.
After all, not everyone can get used to it. In fact, she couldn't get used to it either. She never puts houttuynia cordata in her glutinous rice.
"Let's draw, let's go..."
Seeing that Zhihua had finished eating, Zhiyin invited Zhihua to help carry everything onto the carriage.
Realizing there were no disposable bowls, he took several porcelain bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen.
They also decided that if they were to sell this thing in the future, buyers would have to bring their own bowls and chopsticks.
Otherwise, it would be really hard to bear.
She really missed plastic bags right now, but unfortunately, they weren't so easy to make.
With current technology, it's quite difficult.
The main problem is that there are no substitutes.
Paper? Lotus leaf?
None of them seem to work, and since you need to put chili oil in the glutinous rice, the oil will drip out.
"Okay, sister."
Zhihua immediately and excitedly came up to help move the things.
Yao Yulin, needless to say, quickly got to work.
Seeing the carriage fully loaded, she asked worriedly, "Yinyin, you have so much stuff, do you need my help?"
"It's okay, we can manage."
Zhiyin waved her hands repeatedly, then added after thinking for a moment, "Mom, you don't need to peel potatoes today. I'll use a peeler when I get back, it'll be much easier."
"Okay, Mother will listen to you."
"Oh, right, these are the gloves and scarves that Mom crocheted for you yesterday. Wear them to keep warm."
Yao Yulin remembered the scarf she had knitted yesterday, quickly slapped her forehead, ran inside to get it, and gently put it on the two of them.
"Okay, thank you, Mother..."
Seeing the warm, fluffy scarf and gloves, the two obediently leaned closer, waiting for Yao Yulin to help them.
The moment they felt the softness and warmth on their necks, they both thanked each other sweetly in unison.
…
Because I got up very early today, there were hardly any people on the road.
The sky still looked a bit hazy, and all the snow on the road had melted.
It was still quite cold in the morning, and the moment the cold wind blew, Zhiyin immediately shivered.
She quickly wrapped the scarf around her neck even tighter.
Along the way, she drove the carriage forward while trying to figure out how to price the two items.
About one pound of glutinous rice can make seven or eight servings of glutinous rice. It's hard to estimate the amount of various side dishes, but if each type weighs one pound, it should be able to make about 40 or 50 servings of glutinous rice.
After all, it's just a side dish, so not much is needed.
Let's assume that half a peck of glutinous rice is used at once, along with a pound of various side dishes, which can make a total of forty to fifty servings.
A peck of glutinous rice costs 25 coins, half a peck costs 15 coins, and miscellaneous side dishes cost 100 coins, so the total is about 115 coins.
The cost of a serving of ready-made glutinous rice is only about three coins.
It'll probably sell for 20 coins a serving.
You could earn about one or two taels of silver a day.
Spicy boiled fish is more expensive, since fish is expensive in the market and it's wasteful of oil, chili peppers and other spices, which are not cheap at all.
