Thank you for your understanding.
After seeing off the first customer, Yuan Doudou took out a charcoal pencil and wrote the prices on the signboard: 20 coins for a serving of snail rice noodles and 10 coins for a serving of fries.
The price is clearly marked, and it's a mutually agreeable arrangement.
“Mother, we used to pay ten coins per serving, but now it’s twenty coins. People will definitely be unhappy about that,” Angie said with concern.
Yuan Doudou had made up her mind. She directly said that the formula had been upgraded, which led to an increase in costs.
Or perhaps the previous 10 coins was an opening special, and now the price has returned to normal.
She asked Angie, who then thought about it and felt that the second option was better.
"Angie, how are you so smart?"
If it weren't for a guest, she would have liked to hug and kiss Angie.
As soon as the guest arrived, Little Whitey meowed.
It was an acquaintance, Lu Chaoyang.
"Good morning, Lord Lu." As expected of someone who gets up early, he is indeed an early riser.
Lu Chaoyang, dressed in official robes, looked dashing and was loved by everyone. Before long, a long line of young women formed behind him.
"Give me a bowl of snail rice noodles and two servings of fries." I had heard Zhao Anling mention before that Yuan Doudou could make a dish called fries, which are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and taste even better when dipped in ketchup.
He was extremely jealous at the time and blamed Zhao Anling for not packing it up and bringing it back for him.
Zhao Anling was speechless upon hearing this.
"Okay, that'll be forty coins in total." After packing the food, Yuan Doudou added an extra serving of ketchup.
The tomato sauce dish was also made of bamboo, smaller than the vinegar dish, and had a lid on top.
"Wow, the packaging is so exquisite!" a girl behind her exclaimed.
Lu Chaoyang paid the money readily, and didn't need to give change.
Little did he know that Yuan Doudou would be coming today, and he had deliberately swindled some loose change from the servants in his household.
After buying his food, Lu Chaoyang didn't leave immediately. Instead, he stood to the side of the stall, opened the snail rice noodles, and began to eat them slowly and deliberately in front of everyone.
The advertising effect of handsome men has benefited men, women, young and old.
The queue is getting longer and longer.
The fries sold out quickly.
"We're out of fries, so give me a bowl of snail rice noodles instead."
"Add more chili for me."
"The chili peppers from her place are really fragrant."
Some people buy snail rice noodles just because of the chili peppers.
Before noon, the entire bucket of snail rice noodles was sold out.
Even as Lu Chaoyang was leaving get off work, he didn't forget to come and check on the situation.
"Wow, that's amazing, they're all sold out." Seeing her tidying up the food cart, Lu Chaoyang gave her a thumbs up.
Yuan Doudou smiled and said, "I have to thank Lord Lu for advertising for me." This is comparable to a celebrity live stream.
Lu Chaoyang dared not take credit: "It's because you cook well that people will buy it."
"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Lu." Delicious food is paramount, without a doubt.
After exchanging pleasantries with Lu Chaoyang, Yuan Doudou took Anji to the shop.
I bought some white sugar, sweet potato starch, and rapeseed oil. I also bought a pound of dried chili peppers, as there weren't many left.
The total cost was three hundred coins.
Yuan Doudou passed by a stationery store and bought some Xuan paper and ink for Anji.
Anji practices calligraphy and strokes every day, and she does so on her own initiative. As her mother, she naturally has to support her.
Back home, Yuan Doudou first cooked rice and then started chopping minced meat.
Cut the hind leg meat into small pieces, add scallions, peanuts, and ginger, and mince them together.
A rhythmic clattering sound came from the kitchen.
Little White wandered around, eagerly anticipating today's lunch.
"Anji, you play with Xiaobai." It always circles around your legs, scratching you.
Angie put down the tangram pieces in his hand, came over and picked up Little White.
"Little Bai, you'll get some meat today," he coaxed softly.
The little white cat meowed, its stomach growling with hunger, eager to eat.
"Xiaobai, if you're hungry, I'll give you some chestnut pastries." Chestnut pastries were one of his favorite snacks, and his mother would buy them for him every time she went to the market.
Little White stretched its neck, wanting to eat.
Angie went inside, opened the paper package, and took out a small piece.
He hesitated for a moment, then broke it in half, gave one half to Xiaobai, and put the other half back.
Xiao Bai looked at the chestnut pastries on the ground, sniffed them for a while, but still didn't eat them.
"Eat it, I don't want to eat it. We have to eat dinner later. Mother said we can't eat snacks before meals." Anji continued playing with the tangram puzzle.
Little White sniffed it, then ate it all in one go, licking its lips afterward.
Humans have such a wide variety of delicious foods, he probably doesn't want to go home at all.
Yuan Doudou chopped the meat filling and put it in a bowl for later use. She then started chopping lotus root into cubes.
Wash the lotus root, peel it, slice it, chop it into small cubes, and set it aside.
Add salt, pepper, and soy sauce to the minced meat, stir clockwise, and knead until it becomes elastic. Add diced lotus root and an appropriate amount of sweet potato starch, and continue stirring and kneading.
Hold a large ball of minced meat in your palm; if the meat doesn't fall apart, the meat filling is ready.
Heat oil in a wok until it's hot. Put a chopstick in the oil; small bubbles will appear on the chopstick. Coat your hands with cornstarch water, form a smooth meatball, and put it into the wok to let it quickly take shape.
Exactly four large meatballs.
Place the fried meatballs in a bowl and set aside. Scoop out the oil from the pot, leaving a little oil at the bottom. Add star anise, bay leaves, scallions, garlic and other seasonings and fry until fragrant. Pour in a large bowl of boiling water, add soy sauce for color, then add the fried meatballs and cook over high heat.
When there is not much broth left, thicken it with cornstarch slurry.
Remove the meatballs from the water, place them on a plate lined with lettuce, and drizzle with the broth.
"Anji, the braised lion meat is ready!" Yuan Doudou was also making this dish for the first time, relying entirely on her memory.
Here's a suggestion for all book lovers: watch more food videos in your spare time; you never know when you might need them if you time-travel.
Angie had already smelled the aroma, but he wanted to finish assembling the blocks.
"Coming!" Angie finished assembling the last block, picked up Little White, and ran into the kitchen.
“Mommy, look, Xiaobai is drooling.” Anji lifted Xiaobai up and saw that his lips were glistening.
Yuan Doudou smiled and said, "Xiaobai, you must be starving."
The rice was ready, and Yuan Doudou served two bowls of rice.
The dishes were placed on the table: braised pork belly, stir-fried eggplant, and cold tomato salad, all sprinkled with white sugar.
“These are all my favorite foods,” Angie said with a beaming smile.
"Eat more if you like it." Yuan Doudou put a piece of lion meat into Anji's bowl and another piece into Xiaobai's bowl.
The little white cat meowed twice and immediately started eating.
Anji smiled and said, "Mommy, Little White is saying thank you."
"Xiaobai is so polite."
Xiao Bai: I meant there wasn't enough meat, not enough to eat.
Seeing that his mother was eating eggplant, Anji put some meat from his bowl into hers.
"Mom, you should eat lion's head meatballs too."
Yuan Doudou was touched: "Thank you, Anji."
She picked up another large piece and gave it to Anji: "Anji, you need to grow, so eat more meat. If Mommy eats more meat, she'll get fat."
She was being hypocritical; in reality, she longed to eat her fill, just like before.
Unfortunately, it's not possible.
Angie blinked: "But Mommy is so thin. Angie is afraid that a strong wind will blow Mommy away."
These words made Yuan Doudou laugh so hard she bent over.
