Chapter 003 Wonton Stand
And the cooking skills look pretty good?
Seeing the wide-eyed look of Mugwort, Mother Liu laughed, "I didn't believe it at first. No, it smells so good. I guess it's because the girl didn't want to show her hands in the past."
"Our girls are really amazing." Ai Cao smacked her lips.
She has good looks, can sing, dance, play the yueqin, can read and read, and actually has good cooking skills...
To put it bluntly, if she were a man, she would definitely marry such a good girl home.
How come the second master doesn’t know how to care about him...
The stewed chicken is soft and tasty, smooth and tender to the touch, and the noodles are chewy and delicious.
When Liu's mother cooked the noodles, she added some tender spinach leaves in the spring. The slightly sweet taste further stimulated the aroma of the chicken and the fresh taste of the noodles.
Su Yujin couldn't help but nodded while eating.
This is the right taste.
Because the dinner was delicious, Su Yujin ate a bowl and a half of noodles and a lot of whole pieces of chicken. After finishing the meal, Su Yujin even burped.
Mugwort and Mama Liu also ate two full bowls before they were willing to put down their bowls and chopsticks.
The weather was getting warmer, and the remaining half of the chicken couldn't be put away, so I cooked it at noon the next day.
Different from the braised chicken nuggets last night, this time I made a method called three-cup chicken.
It was the first time Liu's mother heard such a method, so naturally she wouldn't do it, but she felt that as a slave, it was inappropriate for Su Yujin to cook all the time, so she asked Su Yujin to watch and tell her how to do it, and she would do it.
.
Add onion, ginger, and garlic to the pot, stir-fry the chicken pieces, add soy sauce, rice wine, and rock sugar, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat. When taking it out of the pot, sprinkle some green onions.
The chicken nuggets are full of aroma, tender and delicious, with a slightly sweet texture and a pleasant mouthfeel. Served with soft and glutinous white rice...
Su Yujin herself felt the taste was very good.
Wormwood and Mother Liu once again scooped up all the soup and used it to make rice.
The flowers and plants in the flower garden were sold for several more days, until the flower garden became empty except for a relatively tall osmanthus tree.
The sweet-scented osmanthus tree represents nobility, and the mugwort tree suggests that it is best to stay.
Su Yujin was thinking that she could pick some osmanthus flowers in autumn to make osmanthus honey or osmanthus cake, so she nodded in agreement and asked Mother Liu and Mugwort to carefully turn over the flower bed.
Mother Liu went to the street and bought some bean seedlings and cucumber seedlings and planted them one by one. She also found some leek roots, loofah seeds, garlic, etc. and planted them all.
In March, spring is in full bloom. The vegetable seedlings in half of the yard are full of vitality and green, which is quite pleasing to the eye.
Seeing this, Su Yujin couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
There are so many looks.
After waiting for more than a month, you can eat fresh and delicious home-grown vegetables and save a lot of money.
Next, she needs to consider how to make money to support herself and her two slaves.
In the afternoon, Su Yujin called Mugwort and Mother Liu to him.
"You have also seen what I look like now."
Su Yujin said, "Second Master has not been here for a long time, and I have spent a fortune on the money in my hand. I have already secretly pawned the valuable jewelry and clothes as silver, and sold the flowers in the garden. It can be said that I can sell anything."
Almost all of them were sold.”
"That's the case, now we only have two taels of silver in hand. Even if we budget carefully, we can only last a few months. After more than a month, life will be completely unbearable."
"So I thought, it's useless to wait for the second master to come. Why don't we think of ways to do something to make money, so that our lives will be easier in the future."
"It's just something I've been thinking about. We're not familiar with other businesses and don't have much capital. My cooking skills are pretty good. How about we sell some food?"
Ai Cao almost blurted out, "Okay, my girl's cooking skills are so good, our food business will definitely be good."
"Nonsense, how can a girl show up so casually like us?" Mother Liu stopped her.
It only said that it was not appropriate to appear in public, but it did not say that eating and drinking business was not allowed.
Su Yujin thought for a while, "How about we try to sell some wontons first? I'll make them, and Mother Liu will roll them out and cook the wontons. Wormwood greets the guests, clears the bowls and spoons, and so on."
After all, her cooking skills are excellent. There are staple foods, soups, and meat dishes like wontons. Most of the people coming and going on the street are willing to have a bowl.
There are just three of them, and the division of labor is appropriate.
"Girl, don't blame me for talking too much. If the second master later finds out that you are selling wontons in public, I'm afraid he will be angry." Mother Liu reminded me.
After all, the second master is a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, his father is also a minister of the Ministry of Rites, his maternal grandfather's family are all military generals, and they are considered a well-known family in the capital, but his wife actually wants to be exposed to the public and start a small business...
Mother Liu couldn't imagine how ugly the second master's face would be if he knew about this.
"I've thought about this too, but there's no need to worry, Mother Liu."
Su Yujin smiled and said, "If the second master really still cares about me, he wouldn't have left me here for so long without any news, so I guess the second master won't come again in a short time."
"Furthermore, I have squandered all the money the second master gave me. If the second master comes later and sees me being so restless, he will definitely be displeased. In this case, it is better to show an attitude.
It also shows that I sincerely repent."
Generally speaking, setting up a stall to sell wontons can be considered a helpless move, and it seems to have a reason.
And based on the current situation, if we don't do the wonton business, I'm afraid there is no other way to continue to live.
After hearing this, Mother Liu thought for a moment, and even though she felt helpless, she nodded, "What the girl said makes sense, and I will listen to her on everything."
"In that case, let's get started." Su Yujin ordered, "Mama Liu went to buy some pork, green onions, ginger and other ingredients. She also tried rolling out the wonton wrappers, and I tried adjusting the wonton fillings and mugwort.
You go and arrange things like stoves, long stools, long tables, etc. for setting up stalls.”
"Yes, girl."
Once the decision is made, it will be a busy job for all three of them.
Two days later, a new wonton stall appeared on the streets of Qinghe County.
People passing by saw this new "Su Ji" trick, looked at the neat and clean stall, and asked, "How much does a bowl of wontons cost?"
"Ten coins a bowl, I'm sure it's plenty and tastes good." The mugwort volume was loud and the voice was pleasant, "Sir, would you like a bowl?"
"Have a bowl of wontons!" The guest sat down.
"Okay." Ai Cao agreed and put the wontons wrapped by Su Yujin into the pot.
After the water boiled for a while, take it out, put a few river shrimps and minced coriander in it, and then scooped a little oil from the jar next to it and poured it on.
"What is this poured on?" the guest asked.
"Scallion oil is very fragrant. You will know after you try it, sir." Ai Cao brought the wontons up.
The guest was doubtful, so he smelled it first and found that the aroma was fragrant and the taste was mellow, so he scooped up the wontons and ate them with big mouthfuls.
Thin skin, big stuffing, and rich soup. After one bowl, I still felt like I was still unsatisfied. The guest thought about it and shouted again, "One more bowl..."
