After talking about the Xia family, Xia Tian thought that she would not be back at noon tomorrow, and these two people did not know how to cook, so she had to prepare some food for them.
So he got up and went to the kitchen to get a basin, scooped out five large bowls of white flour, added warm water and mixed the flour, then put it on the stove to wake up.
I'll steam two buns tomorrow morning and then heat them up in the pot when they're ready to eat.
After washing up and lying on the kang in the evening, Xia Tian closed his eyes and went over the things he needed to do tomorrow in his mind. Only after making sure that nothing was missed did he fall into a deep sleep.
She didn't get up until about 5:30 the next morning. A few days ago, she was almost out at this time.
Anyway, I didn’t plan to sell much braised food today, so I might as well go out later.
First go to the kitchen, light the small stove, and cook the millet porridge in a casserole.
I went to the backyard, pulled a handful of green onions, washed them and put them aside, then took out a piece of pork belly from the space and chopped it into stuffing.
Mu Feng and Shen Nian also got up soon after. After they washed up, Mu Feng went to fetch water. Shen Nian listened to her start chopping stuffing, came in from the door and took the kitchen knife from her hand, "Let me do it."
Seeing someone helping him, Xia Tian happily handed him the kitchen knife.
While someone helped to chop the stuffing, she poured the dough in the bowl onto the chopping board, sprinkled some dry flour on it and started kneading the dough.
When the dough was almost kneaded and the stuffing was chopped, Xia Tian prepared the stuffing and demonstrated it to Chen Nian. Seeing that Chen Nian had gotten the hang of it, Xia Tian rolled out the dough and wrapped it herself.
Soon a row of meat buns were wrapped, and then she skillfully prepared the minced meat and eggplant filling and finished wrapping the remaining bread. Then, she boiled water in the summer, put the steamer on the pot and started steaming the buns.
During this time, Mu Feng came back with water and saw Chen Nian making dumplings, which he made very well. He was so surprised that he could hardly close his mouth!
Is this still his master? Why does it feel so unreal now that the master's poison has been cured?
But it is true that it is becoming more and more down-to-earth.
After steaming the buns, Xia Tian skillfully made a stack of egg pancakes and four side dishes.
After a while, the buns were steamed and the three of them started to eat breakfast.
After breakfast, Xia Tian fried two more dishes and stewed some bone soup. After explaining the situation to Chen Nian and Mu Feng, he picked up his burden and went out.
By the time she arrived in town, it was almost nine o'clock. Many people thought she had closed her stall and went back.
Xia Tian quickly set up the stall. Just as he finished tidying up, the yamen runners came over. Xia Tian paid the management fee and was given a bag of braised food.
Just as I was about to drink some water, another person came to the stall.
The person who came was Mr. Guo, the owner of Yunlai Restaurant in the town.
"Young boss, why are you here so late today? I thought you weren't going to set up shop today." Shopkeeper Guo said with a smile.
Xia Tian smiled and began to arrange business. "Something delayed me for a while. What would you like to order today, Manager Guo?"
That’s right, Shopkeeper Guo had come to her to buy braised food these days, so Xia Tian knew him.
"Today I want to discuss business with you and see if you can supply our restaurant."
"Oh? This is just a small business. If the restaurant wants a lot, I may not be able to do it." Xia Tian sighed. She really wanted to expand the business, but unfortunately her financial strength did not allow it!
"Just one hundred kilograms a day will do." Shopkeeper Guo said with a laugh.
"If they only want pig heads, I'm afraid that won't work. After all, our town only has so many pig heads every day." Xia Tian thought for a moment and said, "If the restaurant wants other braised dishes, such as pork belly, I can provide them."
"Pork belly can also be braised?" Shopkeeper Guo was surprised. He had always thought that these were the only things on the stall.
"Of course, a whole chicken or pork belly is fine. If Shopkeeper Guo wants more, I can give it to you exclusively."
"What do you mean?" asked Manager Guo with interest.
"That is to say, if Shopkeeper Guo only wants braised pork belly, and the quantity is no less than 100 kilograms, I will only provide this variety to your restaurant and will not sell it at my own stall."
"It's just that our restaurant is the only one that has this dish called braised pork belly. No one else has it, not even you, right?"
Xia Tian nodded, "That's right."
"What about the taste?" Shopkeeper Guo was worried that the taste wouldn't be as good as the braised pork head on her stall.
"It will definitely taste the same. How about this, I'll bring a piece over the day after tomorrow and let Shopkeeper Guo taste it first, and then we can decide whether he wants it or not."
"Okay, that's a deal." Shopkeeper Guo thought it would be better if the taste was good so that no one would steal his business.
After the two men agreed, Manager Guo bought another thirty kilograms of pork head before leaving.
Yesterday, many wealthy families in the town came to Wang's house to celebrate his birthday. They praised the braised pork head on the table. Only today did he think about whether he could sell it in the restaurant.
After Manager Guo left, more people came one after another, and most of the eight braised pig intestines were sold.
Seeing that it was almost ten o'clock, Xia Tian simply closed the stall.
She still has to go buy some things to Xiajiazhuang later!
First, he went to the only money shop in the town to exchange a hundred taels of silver notes for two taels of silver coins each, then went to the meat stall and tofu stall to pick up the goods, and bought thirty pounds of pork belly and a large piece of pork fat, and secretly put them into the space.
I went to the grain store and bought 100 kilograms of rice, white flour, cornmeal, brown rice, and coarse flour, 50 kilograms of millet, and 50 kilograms of rapeseed oil. I had someone deliver them to an empty alley and put them away in the space when no one was around.
I went to the grocery store and bought two large iron pots, two kitchen knives, a stack of bowls and chopsticks, ten pounds of fine salt, twenty pounds of coarse salt, and five jars of ten pounds and one pound of soy sauce and vinegar.
He also bought twenty jars and pots of various sizes, and five large water vats, and had them all delivered to an empty alley and then stored in the space.
Then he carried the load and went to Xia Village.
It was not until they were almost at Xia Village that they found a deserted place and took out things from the space: twenty kilograms of brown rice, twenty kilograms of brown flour, ten kilograms of rice, five kilograms of millet, a piece of wild boar meat weighing about five kilograms, a large piece of pork fat, three large ribs, a kilogram of fine salt, and three kilograms of coarse salt, and put them in a basket. Then they put in bowls, chopsticks, kitchen knives, soy sauce, vinegar, etc., and put two iron pots on top.
