Chapter 433: I have taught you everything I can.
"My wife!" Niu Er came to patrol the streets and took a look at his wife, saying that he was going to make new food today.
"Husband!" Niu Er's wife was busy frying dough sticks and making meat patties.
I also have to pay attention to the movements of the customers in the store at all times. Some want to refill their tea or soy milk, some want to pay the bill, and some want to order food. I am too busy to handle everything.
If it weren't for Su Ying and Fu Xi's help, Niu Er's wife would not be able to do it alone.
"Sir, Master, Sir Xiao Su, Sir Fu!" Niu Er didn't expect that there were several great gods sitting in the store. No wonder the business was so booming.
Niu Er helped to greet the guests, and a group of yamen runners looked on with envy.
The wife at home worked for the captain of the police selling fried dough sticks and meat patties and made a lot of money. A few days ago, the captain of the police said he wanted to open a shop and asked them if they wanted to join.
They shook their heads, saying that they were content with a small fortune and felt more at ease with money in their pockets.
Business in a small county town cannot be prosperous forever. If there is no business in the future, the shop will be a waste of money. It is better to make money.
Seeing that the store was full of people, I couldn't help but feel regretful.
After a short while, Niu Er did not dare to delay any longer and took the yamen runners to patrol the streets.
Many of the guests left after breakfast, and Niu Er's wife finally had some time to rest.
"Sister, you should hire two people for your shop, one person can't handle it.
There are about 20 to 30 guests upstairs and downstairs. You have to cook, greet the guests and settle the bill.
"No matter how good the product is, if there's no one to greet the guests and the experience is poor, they'll stop coming back after a few more visits," Su Ying advised.
"Master Xiao Su is right! We'll go hire people after closing today!" Niu Er's wife listened to the advice and said, "Find some clean and capable guys."
This time, I have no plans to partner with other yamen runners. The previous stall partnership didn’t last long before it was broken up.
A partnership business cannot last long, otherwise even brothers will turn against each other.
Niu Er has been a wife for more than a year, and she knows the ups and downs of it.
"We are currently making these few dishes, and will gradually add more varieties. We can also make buns with other fillings, and the same goes for steamed dumplings.
In addition, fried eggs, braised eggs, rice cakes, brown sugar steamed cakes, etc. are served one after another.
Your store is open from morning till closing time, and business is never slow." Su Ying explained.
"Ah? I have sold rice cakes and brown sugar steamed cakes, so how can Uncle Wei sell them on the street?" Niu Er's wife was worried.
It was Su Ying who taught Uncle Wei how to make rice cakes and brown sugar steamed cakes. If I sell them myself, wouldn’t I be taking over his business?
"You make fine products, putting red dates or winter melon candy on the pastries, but the portions are small and the prices are high. Uncle Wei's customers won't come here to buy them." Su Ying said with a smile.
"Oh, okay!" Niu Er's wife was relieved.
"Master Su, are there any more delicious foods?" Song Xuanyu and Master Liu were surprised. They had never heard of any of them before.
"Well! From now on, you can have breakfast here every day and eat it!" Su Ying stopped. She didn't want to do it anymore and had to go back.
"Wait, Master Su, what is that winter melon candy?" Song Xuanyu refused to let him go.
Honey is rare, only in Wuxian County. Honey and brown sugar are common, so how come winter melon candy has appeared?
"It's made with winter melon and sugar. I'll give some to you in Huanggou Village another day." Su Ying had no choice but to agree.
"Yes!" Song Xuanyu got the result he wanted and let Su Ying go with a smile.
Take Fuxi back to Huanggou Village, turn into Jinfeng Village first, and find Ade.
"Grandpa, I want two thousand kilograms of brown sugar!" Su Ying said in a loud voice.
"?" Ade took a look and said without asking, "Okay!"
"Find a few reliable young men and learn new things at the same time!" After saying that, he rode away on his horse.
"You want so much? Can Jinfengzhai afford it?" Fuxi was shocked.
It's hard for others to ask for one or two kilograms of brown sugar, but Su Ying asked for two thousand kilograms. Why? Why did she need so much?
Su Ying smiled and said, "You have brown sugar from several counties, and you can't even take out this little bit of stock? Make something delicious and I'll give you a can!"
"Oh, I'm so lucky! Thank you, Lord Xiao Su!" Fuxi was very happy.
"Grandma, give me all the winter melons in your home! If other families in the village have any, please send them all over!" Su Ying said to Gao when passing by Old Man Yang's house.
"Okay!" Gao smiled, knowing that it was for the Fulon caravan.
"Master is back!" The children were so happy to see Su Ying, who had just come out of the silkworm room.
"How is it?" Su Ying asked about the children's schoolwork.
"Sir, half of the white radish has sprouted!" "Sir, we can recite the multiplication table!" The children chattered around Su Ying.
"Okay, good! Let's make winter melon candy in the afternoon!" Su Ying nodded with satisfaction.
"Really? That's great!" the children cheered. They had candy again!
In the afternoon, in the courtyard of Su's house, the children were divided into groups to peel winter melon and cut it into pieces as thick as fingers.
All the winter melons in the village were collected and used to soak seven or eight large jars.
Without Su Ying saying anything, Xie Qingyun, Su Lu and others took the children to soak them in lime water.
Except for the children in Rong County who were curious, everyone else already knew the production process.
The brown sugar from Jinfengzhai was transported in ox carts, four carts in total. The children were amazed by the sight. Oh my God, there was so much!
There were both men and women who came. Apo led the team, and there were two or three girls named Diexiu among them.
Diexiu can read a little and has a good relationship with Su Ying. Details are the most crucial, so she can only learn from the person she trusts the most.
After dinner, everyone worked together to crush all the brown sugar using a stone mortar.
After breakfast the next day, he taught the people of Jinfengzhai how to make rock sugar and white sugar in the kitchen.
Apo and the others saw that the brown sugar was put back into the pot to melt, and the yellow mud water was added to the pot, the color became lighter, and there was sediment at the bottom.
Later, carbon powder was added to the sugar water clarified with yellow mud water and stirred, and then filtered with a leaky bucket filled with carbon powder, and it became clear sugar juice. Everyone was stunned!
Everyone's eyes widened. Is this Elder Su Ying's secret recipe of rock sugar?
It took a whole day to melt, filter, and purify all the brown sugar, put it into hemp rope, and place it in a cool, ventilated room.
Su Ying diluted the sugar juice from the yellow mud and extracted a lot of syrup again.
"Pick some mint!" Su Ying said to the outside.
"Oh, okay!" The children had been waiting outside all day, and ran away when they heard this.
After a while, I picked a lot of mint, washed it, mashed it into juice and filtered it.
Su Ying poured the mint juice into the syrup, and the syrup turned green.
After testing the consistency, scoop out the syrup, pour it into the mold, spread it evenly and let it cool.
The mold itself has grids of different depths. After demolding, it becomes a whole plate with small grids on it. If you bend it hard, it will break into small pieces along the small grids.
"Give it to the children!" Su Ying gave the first edition to the children.
The children followed Xie Qingyun to the school building to share.
"Sister, is this peppermint candy?" Diexiu was stunned. How did Elder Aying come up with this idea?
"Hmm!" Su Ying removed the second version from the mold and broke off small pieces. "Here, try it!"
"Wow, it's so cool!" Fuxi couldn't keep her mouth shut because of the impact of the peppermint oil.
"It's cold to eat now, and it will be very refreshing to eat in the summer!" Su Ying tasted a piece.
"Did you prepare this for the Fulong caravan?" Fuxi suddenly realized that the winter melon candy and mint candy were probably for the Fuling caravan.
"Well, Apo and Diexiu, now you have learned it. From now on, it will be produced by your Jinfeng Village! I can finally relax." Su Ying clapped her hands.
I have taught everything I could, and I was finally able to get out of this situation.
