Chapter 164 Dry Food
Hui Niang had no choice but to smile and say, "This is the first time we're making this. I don't know if it will sell well. We'll definitely prepare more this afternoon."
"Then you must remember this, huh?"
"Yeah yeah!"
"Don't worry." Hui Niang said with a smile.
Xu Qingmeng and Hui Niang packed up and prepared to go home. It was still early in the morning.
The wonton stall next door has started selling fried wontons and cold noodles, and business has improved a lot. The broth is made from large bones, and the taste of the wonton filling has been adjusted, but they still have to control costs, so they just added a little bit of salt. Even so, the taste is much fresher.
The wonton stall was quite busy at that time, but the old lady still took some time out of her busy schedule to greet them and gave them two servings of fried wontons for them to take home and try.
Xu Qingmeng and the other person tried to refuse for a long time, but couldn't get away with it and had to accept it.
The steamed bun stall was not open today, but the lady at the wonton stall said that something seemed to have happened at home. The lady was very evasive in her words, so the two of them didn't dare to ask too much.
After expressing their feelings for a few times, the two prepared to go back. Before leaving, they went to the market and bought three chickens and some meat.
They came back early today. Xu Qingmeng and Hui Niang took a short rest after dinner. Before going to bed, they stewed the chicken in a big pot and asked Gu Yunyi to watch over it.
When Xu Qing woke up from his dream, Hui Niang had already gotten up and was preparing the ingredients.
After they packed up, they set out to the stall together.
Who would have thought that as soon as we arrived at the stall, there were already quite a few people waiting in line.
When the two saw it, they quickly parked the car.
The couple from the bun stall also came in the afternoon. When the aunt saw them coming, she said, "Sister, I heard that these are all for your meat dishes. They say there is something called crispy pork, which children love to eat. Save some for aunt!"
"Okay, ma'am!"
Hui Niang answered while weighing the dishes skillfully.
Xu Qingmeng and Hui Niang couldn't neglect these waiting customers. Just as the lady at the bun stall said, they all came for the meat dishes.
Once they opened their mouths, they would buy two or three kilograms, or three or four kilograms, and of course they would not forget to bring some vegetarian dishes back.
Xu Qingmeng and the others were so busy that they didn't stop. Even though they prepared a lot of things, they still sold them all in more than an hour.
Although they were sold out, the two had already prepared two portions of crispy pork in advance, one for the steamed bun stall and one for the wonton stall.
"That won't do. These are expensive. Can't we have them?"
"Yeah, how much do these cost?"
"Thanks for the help from your hometown. Please accept it. It's not much. I just want to try something new."
The two families knew that the money would not be accepted, so they packed some steamed buns, dumplings and wontons for them.
Xu Qingmeng and the others also understood that if they didn't accept it, they would definitely not accept the crispy meat, so they accepted it.
The two planned to eat wontons and these in the evening, otherwise, in such a hot day, they would go bad by tomorrow.
When the two returned home, the man in the house had already cooked a big pot of millet and pumpkin porridge.
Xu Qingmeng fried the wontons in a pan, and paired them with steamed buns and steamed buns, and the pickles and salted duck eggs that Hui Niang and the others brought. It was delicious.
The date for the college entrance examination has been set, it will be in mid-August, on the 14th, 15th and 16th. Xu Qingmeng and Hui Niang discussed it and decided not to go out on the 12th and take a day off.
On the evening of November 11, Xu Qingmeng and her partner also told their regular customers that they would not be running the stall anymore, but would sell some dry food that was easy to store the day before the entrance exam.
Most of the customers at the two stalls were here to take the college entrance examination. When they heard this, they were quite curious, knowing that the two husbands were both students.
Everyone thought that although they were curious about the dry food they prepared, they still felt it was a pity to not be able to eat it.
Although most of them were students, there were also quite a few people from the provincial capital. They all felt regretful, but they also understood that there was nothing they could do.
On the 11th day, Xu Qingmeng and Hui Niang made a lot of thin noodles, then hung them outside to dry in the sun before setting up the stall.
Xu Qingmeng originally thought it would take two days to take shape, but unexpectedly it took only one day.
On the 12th, Xu Qingmeng started making instant noodles, sprinkling various seasonings on them and then wrapping them in pieces with oil paper.
Gu Yunyi had eaten it during his last exam, so it was not surprising. However, no one else had seen it. However, Zhou Yuanjia still knew about it. After all, the food Gu Yunyi had eaten during the last exam was the envy of others.
"Sister-in-law, is this the same noodle Yun Yi ate last time, the kind that can be eaten by just soaking it in boiling water like Sanzi?"
"Exactly."
Zhou Yuanjia was extremely envious last time, this cannot be missed.
He took out a piece of fried dough, poured some hot water into it, covered it with oil paper, and waited for a while.
When I lifted the oil paper, a completely different fragrance wafted out, and I saw that except for a few spots of oil floating in the bowl, the rest looked like a real bowl of noodles.
Last time I only heard about it but didn't see it with my own eyes, so it was very strange.
He couldn't wait to take a bite, his eyes flashing.
Fang Ziheng quickly asked: "How is it?"
Zhou Yuanjia didn't even raise his head, but told him with his actions.
Fang Ziheng: ······Okay, is there any need to ask?
He looked at Zhou Yuanjia eating noodles, swallowed subconsciously, and said embarrassedly: "Well...well, I also want to make a bowl to try."
Xu Qingmeng chuckled. This was instant noodles without any preservatives or industrial edible flavors added, so the taste was naturally excellent.
Although it can't be compared with modern instant noodles, the taste is already superior compared to those who can only eat pancakes and steamed buns.
Xu Qingmeng still remembered that when Gu Yunyi first ate this, he was the same as the person in front of him.
In this hot weather, the pancakes and steamed buns will definitely go bad on the last day, but there is no such worry for instant noodles.
The instant noodles received rave reviews from everyone. Even Hui Niang thought it was very convenient, but she didn't dare give Xiao Yuanbao more.
Xu Qingmeng had reminded us that although this thing is made of flour, it is fried in the end, so children should not eat too much of it.
But this was far from enough, so Xu Qingmeng also fried some Sanzi and made some mushroom meat sauce.
The butcher shop I made last time was convenient and delicious, and Gu Yunyi thought it was great, but he also thought it was more troublesome to make.
Xu Qingmeng also wanted to prepare something for him, but Gu Yunyi did not agree. However, it was only three days, and he didn't want her to be so tired.
