Reborn Craftsman

Chapter 64

Tall and strong, he smiled and moved to Liu Xing's side: "My dear, the net weight of this tractor is more than [-] catties, that is to say, Wang Xiaohe's previous truckload of bamboo was only [-] catties." catty."

"Obviously it's two thousand catties, okay?" Wang Xiaohe couldn't help arguing, but he regretted saying this, because he knew that Liu Xing would never believe what he said.

But unexpectedly, Liu Xing took out 20 yuan and handed it to him: "Go back and transport all the other bamboos! This car is calculated at two thousand catties. Remember, we are only responsible for collecting bamboos. Not responsible for handling and weighing."

"Hey! Hey!" Wang Xiaohe quickly reached out to take the money.

Wang Qing at the door rushed over, snatched it and kicked it into his arms.

"You!" Er Xiaohe gritted his teeth and wanted to get mad, but finally he endured it, went out and drove the tractor away.

Wang Qing also left on the tractor, but before leaving, he left Liu Xing with a resentful look.

Gao Dazhuang at the side saw it, and asked in a low voice: "Liu Xing, you owe this girl money! Why do you see the murderous look in your eyes?"

"She owed me money in her previous life!" Liu Xing replied mysteriously, then turned around and continued to work on his big wooden barrel for making soup.

……

At five o'clock in the afternoon.

The big wooden barrel for boiling soup was finally finished.

After talking to his parents, Liu Xing walked back to the gate of the wonton shop. Seeing that Aunt Hua was busy making dinner in the kitchen, he immediately called out to help light up the fire, while he put the steamer on the stove. on top.

There is no way, if it is placed after 2010, the stove can be used as a stainless steel stove connected to a large wooden barrel, and the prepared coal is placed on the bottom to burn, and it can be pushed away, which is very convenient.

But now it is 1993, there is no cold shop for firing stainless steel stoves at all, and there is absolutely no sale in the city, so for the time being, we can only make do with it.

The fire was quickly lit up.

Liu Xing saw that it was almost done, so he placed the big wooden barrel for making soup on the steamer, and then threw more than a dozen kinds of condiments, such as cinnamon, pepper, star anise, etc., into the big wooden barrel, just before pouring water At that time, Aunt Hua grabbed him: "Nephew, what are you doing?"

"Boil the soup base!" Liu Xing replied casually.

"You call it boiling soup, is this a waste, okay?" Aunt Hua moved the stool to take out the condiments from the big wooden bucket, but was stopped by Liu Xing.

He said with a dark face, "Don't make trouble, I have a secret recipe for making this soup."

"Really?" Aunt Hua couldn't believe it.

"It's more real than real gold!" Liu Xing replied helplessly.

"Okay then!" Seeing that Liu Xing didn't seem to be lying to him, Aunt Hua had no choice but to leave the big wooden barrel in dismay.

Liu Xing rolled up his sleeves, carried a bucket and poured buckets of clean spring water into a large wooden barrel. The spring water was brought from the nearby mountains by the managers of the market through water pipes. It was very clean and had a smell Sweet and sweet, it is perfect for making soup base.

Seeing that the water in the big wooden barrel was almost full, he stopped carrying water, then put the lid on, sat on a chair beside him, watched the fire and waited.

Aunt Hua also waited for a while, but she was impatient, and she couldn't wait any longer, so she went back to the kitchen to get busy.

When she came out again, she smelled a tangy smell, which came from the big wooden barrel where the soup was boiled, and it drifted around with the tumbling heat.

Pedestrians passing by smelled the strange fragrance and stopped to watch it. Some curious even wanted to lift the lid of the big wooden barrel to see what was going on, but Liu Xing stopped it.

The secret recipe for making the soup base is just the beginning, if it is destroyed, then his work will be in vain.

In fact, this strange fragrance is made from a large wooden barrel made of pine wood. It is boiled with many condiments that Auntie Beggar Hua bought before. The ingredients in the recipe are very simple, and they are sold everywhere in the market.

But the key is that the cooking process should not be sloppy. Once there is a mistake, not only the soup base will be scrapped, but also the big wooden barrel that has worked hard for more than a day.

Why do you say this way?
Because Liu Xing's first step in making the soup base is to add flavor to the big wooden barrel.

You heard it right, you are adding flavor to the big wooden barrel! ! !
The large wooden barrel is made of dry pine wood. This is the first time to cook the soup, which can fully absorb the substances in the soup, including the aroma of various seasonings. Because the aroma is neutralized by the high temperature, it becomes There is a strange fragrance.

This strange fragrance is only temporary, and it will disappear as soon as the fire is extinguished.

But what Liu Xing is doing now is to use the method of adding flavor to the big wooden barrel to keep the strange fragrance in the big wooden barrel forever.

Once it succeeds, the soup base made from this big wooden barrel will always have a strange fragrance, and the magic is that as long as the fire is kept on, the strange fragrance can be blown to a range of hundreds of miles by the wind.

This is not bragging, but what Liu Xing has personally experienced.

Before rebirth, in order to obtain the secret recipe of this soup base, he had to work as a handyman in a breakfast shop for a year.

If it weren't for his deep knowledge of the craft of carpentry, and finally obtained the secret method of making it by calculation, he might have worked as a handyman in the breakfast shop for the rest of his life.

The secret recipe is actually very simple. It relies on a large wooden barrel made of pine wood to absorb the flavor. As long as the strange fragrance can be kept in the large wooden barrel permanently, then you will not worry about the poor business of the breakfast shop in the future.

Of course, if you want the strange fragrance to spread throughout hundreds of miles, you have to have a strong wind from the fire.

Because the strange fragrance needs high temperature to volatilize and spread, the breakfast shop where Liu Xing used to do odd jobs, it is said that the fire has not been broken for a hundred years, and many people from all over the country come to him for breakfast. Said it was impossible to see the end at a glance.

"Brother, what delicious food are you cooking?" The strange fragrance not only attracted passers-by, but also attracted little peanuts.

She climbed onto Liu Xing's lap and sat down, biting her index finger and tilting her head: "Brother, I'm hungry, I want to eat what you cooked."

"I'm making a soup base! I can't eat it!" Liu Xing hugged the little peanut dotingly: "If you really want to eat it, you have to wait at least two hours."

"En! En!" Little Peanut nodded obediently, seeing the hot air coming out of the big wooden barrel, he couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

Aunt Hua'Liu Xiaohua' beside him couldn't sit still anymore, he asked Liu Xing curiously: "Nephew, your soup looks good! How did you do it?"

"This is a secret!" Liu Xing made a booing gesture.

If he could say it, he would have said it a long time ago. The secret recipe for the soup base is what he relies on to open a breakfast shop. To put it bluntly, he wouldn't even say it even when his parents came.

After all, parents are too honest, if they are tricked by some people with bad intentions, it will be a big loss.

"If you don't say it, don't say it, it's still a secret!" Liu Xiaohua gave Liu Xing a blank look, and walked towards the greenhouse.
