Back to 90s she just wants to get rich

Chapter 266 265. This is just right!
In the afternoon of the fifth day of the lunar new year, around five o'clock, Feng Dabao's father called and said that the pork could not be delivered to their family because an old man in their neighbor's family died suddenly. He asked Mr. Yin Yang to check the date and said The funeral date is set from tomorrow night to the morning after tomorrow.

People hired him and his son to cook, and his wife is also going to help, so the pig can’t be killed today, and the meat can’t be sent to the shop tomorrow, and the meat can’t be given to them until the seventh day of the lunar new year. Send it over, and then send it directly to their home.

For this reason, Xiang Jin's mother's original plan to go to the street to do business on the sixth day of the sixth day was ruined, and then Xiang Jin asked her mother to tell the other party to let them deliver it tomorrow afternoon. Soak it in the marinade overnight, pick it up the next morning and bring it directly to the town to sell.

On the morning of the sixth day of the lunar new year, while Xiang Jin and his family were still cooking breakfast, two vendors driving vegetables arrived one after another.

When Xiang Jin's mother lost the tongs, she asked Xiang Jin to go with her to pick vegetables in the field, and then let Xiang Lan cook the pot, and then fry the vegetables when they came back after harvesting the vegetables.

Yang Hui and Yang Zhao went to help.

Xiang Lan was playing a game of sandbag jumping with Yang Xu and Yang Xin in the empty little room next door. Hearing her mother's order, she hurriedly threw away the sofa in her hand and said to them, "Don't play anymore, Don't play anymore, I'm going to collect food."

She ran outside and yelled at her sister, "Sister, you stay and cook, I'll collect the vegetables."

Yang Xu and Yang Xin followed.

Xiang Jin looked sideways at Xiang Lan, "Are you sure?"

The little girl nodded vigorously, "Sure, why don't you fry sweet potato fries for us?"

Yang Xu and Yang Xin also nodded vigorously.

Oh, so I was thinking about this!

"Okay, then you all go to collect the vegetables for me, three cobblers are worth Zhuge Liang," Xiang Jin nodded, and then pointed to Yang Xu and Yang Xin to order.

After receiving her promise, several people happily ran to get the vegetable basket.

Looking at their positive appearance, Xiang Jin couldn't help curling his lips, all of them were foodies!
Today, neither Feng Dabao nor the owner of Xinfu Restaurant were among the two vendors who received vegetables. One of them mainly supplies vegetables for schools and government agencies. These units will wait until after the Lantern Festival. One will go to work and open the door one after another. One will not open until the eighth day of the first lunar month, so one of the two vendors who came today is the owner of the vegetable vendor in the county, and the other is the owner of the vegetable shop in the town.

Both of them asked for a little too much food today, so Xiang Jin and his family still collected the food for an hour and half an hour today. After Xiang Jin and the others finished collecting the food, her mother called several children She went home to eat, and then she went to help Aunt Liao and Grandma Mo.

As soon as they got home, they first went to the kitchen, especially the small ones, who grabbed their hands without washing them. Xiang Jin tapped the chopsticks on the backs of their hands, "Wash your hands!"

A few people quickly retracted their hands, and then went to wash their hands laughing and laughing.

"Pick up your own food, I'll go over and have a look," Xiang Jin said after explaining to a few people, and then went directly to Aunt Liao and Grandpa Zeng with a French fries.

Time flies, and it is the eighth day of the first lunar month. In fact, in the eyes of many Chinese, as soon as the seventh day of the new year is over, the year is basically over.

Xiang Jin, like her uncles, was open for business on this day, so his grandfather and grandmother came early in the morning. Her grandfather came to continue to stare at his greenhouse vegetable field, and her grandmother mainly came to pick up Yang Xu. The Yang Xin brothers went back, saying that they will go to school soon, and they will go back and do their winter vacation homework.

Xiang Jin and her mother didn't want to keep them. Xiang Jin's mother gave each of them 100 yuan of New Year's money and went directly to the town to do business with their things, while Xiang Jin and the others helped his grandfather deliver the food to him. After harvesting, Xiang Jin made lunch for them before going back.

As soon as they left, the house became much cooler and quieter at the same time. This kind of environment is the most suitable for creation, no one disturbs, and you can think quietly, so Xiang Jin took out the outline he had written before and began to write. Her serialized novels came.

Xiang Jin and the others started school on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. Did Yan Chen come back on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, or was he sent back by Uncle Mingtao?

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiang Jin was sitting in his room writing a manuscript, and Yan Chen brought two people with their things.

"Is your sister there?" When they arrived at their house, Yan Chen saw that Xiang Lan had set up a small bamboo table and was sitting around the iron pot on the eaves of the street, doing homework and cooking by the fire.

Upon hearing his voice, the little girl suddenly raised her head, and called out in surprise, "Brother Yan Chen, are you back?"

Yan Chen nodded slightly, "You are the only one at home?"

Xiang Lan said, "And my sister, my sister is reading and doing homework in her room, wait a minute, I'll call for you." After speaking, the little girl stood up from the small bench with a slam. Turned around and ran towards the house.

Yan Chen motioned for the two of them to put their things on the two bamboo chairs not far away, and then put down the plastic bucket he was carrying, and the two went, and then they all went to Xiang Jin and the others. From the yard of their family, they began to watch their house and the surrounding environment.

Xiang Jin came out of the room and saw that he was looking at the homework Xiang Lan was doing, so he walked over and said, "I thought you won't be back in a few days?"

Yan Chen looked at her and raised the corners of his lips slightly, "It's okay, I'm back, isn't sixteen about to start school?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "How about it, where did you go for the Chinese New Year?"

Yan Chen shook his head, "We're basically at home, and we've had a few ball games with Han Che and the others. How about you, did you have a lively Chinese New Year?"

Xiang Jin just smiled, "It's okay, every day since the New Year's Eve, there are big fish and big meat, not your house, then Aunt Liao's house, and our house, followed us to my grandma's house, and later My uncle and a few cousins ​​came to our house again, didn't you see how fat I have gained?"

Yan Chen looked at her seriously, "I don't think so, but the complexion on her face is much better."

Xiang Jin said, "I gained weight, I really gained weight, you can see that my face has become rounder," and she found that she had grown some flesh around her waist.

Yan Chen laughed, "This is just right!"

"Really?" Xiang Jin looked at him in disbelief, thinking that he was comforting him.

Yan Chen said, "Really, you were too thin before!"

Xiang Jin was about to talk to him, when he suddenly saw two people walking towards the eaves in the yard, and they all looked at him with smiles on their faces, Xiang Jin was startled for a moment, sorry, she hasn't looked yet There are two big living people in the yard.

Ah Hua, who is obsessed with sex, didn't bark today, and those little puppies are also white-eyed wolves. When a stranger comes, you bark twice anyway, and you don't even Say something, it seems that they have to be reprimanded when they turn around, how can they be like a dog to guard the yard for others?

In fact, it can't be blamed on Ah Hua and those puppies, because Yan Chen came over, so Hucai led the two puppies he brought to follow them. It's not enough to be affectionate, so how can I care about other things? Ahua and Hucai are making out, and several puppies fight together, biting and playing with each other while hugging each other, having a good time.

"Who are they?" However, he still looked honest and honest, Xiang Jin asked Yan Chen in a low voice as he watched the two people walking towards them.

Yan Chen said, "The cook of our hotpot restaurant."

Xiang Jin was immediately surprised, "Have you found everyone?"

Yan Chen nodded slightly at her, "Well, not only have I found the person, but I have also found the store, which is on the fourth south section of the First Ring Road, where many rich merchants live. families, and some working-class people, in the initial stage, the store is not very big, maybe it’s similar to the one in your town.”

Xiang Jin was shocked, and said, "Okay, when it's ready, we can expand, or open a branch?"

Yan Chen nodded, "I think so too."

Xiang Jin still couldn't help admiring him, "Your speed is really fast enough."

Yan Chen said, "After the land was sold, there was nothing else to do, so I drove around with Uncle Tao, and then I saw that there happened to be a teahouse over there that was about to be sold, so I gave it away. Let it down."

Xiang Jin asked, "How much is that store?"

Seeing that the two of them had approached, Yan Chen said, "I'll talk about that later. Let me introduce you to the two of them first. This is Uncle Zheng, whose full name is Zheng Gang, and this is Uncle Duoji, whose full name is Baima Duoji."

Xiang Jin was surprised for a moment, "Uncle Duoji is Tibetan?"

The middle-aged man named Baima Duoji was also taken aback for a moment, then nodded, and said in his thick Tibetan voice, "Well, I'm a Tibetan, and I'm from Litang, my hometown. .”

Xiang Jin nodded at him, "Your Tibetan yak meat is delicious."

Uncle Duoji smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, I brought you some," he said, walking to the bamboo chair not far away, opening the cardboard box, and taking out the box from inside. He took out a pack of dried beef jerky and handed it to Xiang Jin.

Xiang Jin took it, then took a piece from it and ate it, "Well, it's really delicious, much more flavorful than our beef."

Uncle Duoji saw that she really liked it, so he said sincerely, "You like it, I will bring you some later."

Xiang Jin raised the package in her hand, "Thank you, that's enough, that's enough," and then she looked at Zheng Gang, "Where is Uncle Zheng's hometown?"

Then Zheng Gang said, "My hometown is Dongchuan, Yunnan."

"Dongchuan?" Xiang Jin was silent for a while, "It is rich in copper mines, and it is a famous red land."

Zheng Gang was also surprised, "You even know this?"

Xiang Jin said, "I've seen it in books, but I don't know much about it."

Then Zheng Gang said excitedly, "Our Luoxiagou is exquisite and beautiful, and you and Xiaochen are welcome to visit us there then!"

As he said that, he also went to the side to get his gift to Xiang Jin, "We don't have any special products there, I brought you two handfuls of Dongchuan noodles from our place."

Xiang Jin handed the package of beef jerky to Xiang Lan, who was half understanding, and then stretched out his hands to take it, "Uncle Zheng, you are too polite, this is not considered a special product, your Dongchuan noodles It's very famous, it won't spoil after a long time of cooking, it's delicious and smooth, thank you, thank you, thank you so much!"

Both of them waved their hands and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing valuable.

Following Yan Chen, he said to her, "Uncle Zheng and Uncle Duoji used to serve in the cooking team in the army. This time I brought them here to be in charge of our hotpot restaurant."

Xiang Jin said pleasantly, "That's a good thing, I have been in the kitchen for a long time before, so I must be good at cooking."

Zheng Gang was a little embarrassed and said authentically, "I used to be mainly responsible for cutting vegetables, making dumplings, making steamed buns, kneading steamed buns, and Duoji and the others did the specific cooking. Duoji also learned from a Sichuan chef. He is much more proficient in art than me."

"Really?" Xiang Jin nodded again.

Uncle Duoji patted his head melon naively, and said with a chuckle, "I have learned a few things, but I haven't learned them for long, but like twice-cooked pork, Kung Pao chicken, taro roast chicken, fish-flavored eggplant, hot and sour I know potato shreds, but I don't know how to cook hot pot, my master is a cook who cooks, he didn't teach me hot pot!"

Xiang Jin said, "It's fine, it's fine, as long as you have a cooking background, it's fine. In fact, making hot pot is also very simple, not difficult. In this way, tomorrow, tomorrow night, I will treat you to hot pot, how about it?"

The two of them nodded, and naturally readily agreed, because their purpose of coming back this time is to learn how to cook hot pot.

Following Yan Chen, he pulled Xiang Jin to the small plastic bucket, Xiang Jin's eyes lit up immediately, and then she squatted down and lay down beside the bucket to watch, "Did you really bring live shrimp?"

Yan Chen nodded, "Of course I will do what I promised you."

Xiang Jin got up, "Okay, I will do what I promised you, wait a minute, I'll make crystal shrimp dumplings for you, and she asked Xiang Lan to come to the pot in the kitchen, by the way Bring a few more toothpicks."

Yan Chen said, "Will you pack it now?"

Xiang Jin said, "You don't need to wrap it today, but the shrimp meat must be processed as soon as possible. Let me tell you, it is best to dispose of these shrimps while they are alive, so that the meat will be fresh and tender when eaten. , with a Q-bomb feel, otherwise the shrimp meat will not taste good when it dies tomorrow, and it is easy to breed bacteria.

Because the main component of fish and shrimp is protein, protein is easy to decompose, and the decomposition of protein depends on those microorganisms and bacteria. Unlike pork, its main component is fat, carbohydrates and a small amount of protein, so fish and shrimp They are not as good as pork in terms of quality assurance for seafood and aquatic products. "

Zheng Gang and Baima Duoji were shocked after hearing what Xiang Jin said just now, and at the same time admired Xiang Jin. They didn't expect that she knew so much at a young age. They knew this and that. They are still in the army, working in the cooking squad for a long time, and listened to their old squad leader's advice, this little girl is amazing!

Yan Chen nodded, "Okay, then I'll help you."

Xiang Jin looked at such a big bucket of shrimp, so he nodded, "That's fine!"

Seeing that Yan Chen had stayed, the other two naturally couldn't say goodbye, so they also said to help them, Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen, and Yan Chen nodded at her, "The purpose of their coming is to learn from you. Make food."

Xiang Jin felt a little embarrassed, "It's fine for me to show myself in front of the people in Wantou, but how can I play a big knife in front of them?" He used to be a cook in the army.

The two waved their hands and said, "No, no, we usually only do those things in the army. Compared with those chefs in real restaurants, they are far behind. They have undergone systematic training. It’s been a while, we’re just a few teams.”

Xiang Jin absolutely believed that they were being modest and straightforward, but since everyone talked about it, she was not that hypocritical, so she nodded in agreement, and followed her to the house to get a few folding small benches Come out and hand them one each.

Just like that, when Xiang Lan went to the kitchen to take out the basin, several people each had a toothpick, and then started to deal with the live shrimps.

But a lot of people means a lot of strength. In about half an hour, they processed a bucket of live shrimp, and then Xiang Jin turned his head and looked at Yan Chen's wrist, "What time is it?"

Yan Chen rolled up his sleeves, then looked down, "It's not yet four twenty."

in time!
Xiang Jin got up and said, "Wait, I'll make you the freshest crystal shrimp dumplings to eat," she said, picking up the pot of shrimp meat on the ground, and then walked towards the kitchen beside her.

When they saw it, they all got up and followed her. Xiang Lan took a rare conscious effort, and took the pot of shrimp skins to deal with it.

"Hey, why did you come in?" Xiang Jin was cutting shrimp, and saw several people come in.

Yan Chen said, "See what you do?"

The other two also started to roll up their sleeves, "Girl Jin, what else can we do for you?"

Xiang Jin said, "There are indeed, Uncle Zheng, there are some dried bamboo shoots in the cabinet, please take some out and soak some in boiling water in a pot, it looks like a handful, Uncle Duoji, there are a few carrots in the dustpan over there, Please help me take two and peel off the skin, Yan Chen, you can trim the onions, I will use them later."

"it is good!"

So everyone collaborates separately.

After a while, everyone finished the work at hand, and Xiang Jin also cut up all the shrimp meat, and then she took a piece of fresh pork belly to cut. Uncle Zheng Gang seemed to be chopping it when he saw her It was a little difficult, so I took the kitchen knife from her hand, "Let me do it? Chop it into pieces as big as your shrimp, right?"

Xiang Jin stepped aside, "Just a little bit smaller."

"Okay!" Uncle Zheng Gang nodded.

Then Uncle Duoji asked, "Then shall I go meet with you?"

Xiang Jin felt that their reconciliation must be better than his reconciliation, and it would save some time, so he was not polite, "Okay!"

Immediately, Xiang Jin fetched two kinds of flour, and poured part of the potato starch into a basin, then Uncle Duoji touched the flour, "Oh, what kind of flour is this? It's not wheat flour, is it? "

Xiang Jin was surprised, "Did Uncle Duoji wrap crystal glue?"

Uncle Duoji said, "No, when we were in the army, we mostly kneaded steamed buns, made steamed buns, ordinary dumplings, and fried a few simple home-cooked dishes. Give the big guys some beef and mutton, this crystal shrimp dumpling has never been made before."

Xiang Jin nodded, "This is called potato starch, which is extracted from potatoes."

Uncle Duoji nodded, "No wonder, I mean this flour feels different from the wheat flour we usually use, it's smooth and smooth."

Following her, she looked at another kind of flour beside her, "Is this wheat flour?"

Xiang Jin said, "This is Chengmian, which is refined from wheat flour."

"Shen face?"

Xiang Jin just laughed, "It's not Shen noodles, it's Cheng noodles, and the rhyme of the back nose. The flour we usually use to make dumplings is high-gluten flour, but this one is low-gluten flour."

Both Uncle Duoji and Uncle Zheng Gang found it strange, and while Uncle Zheng Gang was chopping the meat, he joked to Uncle Duoji, "Duoji, haven't you heard of it?"

Uncle Duoji seemed to be an honest person, so he nodded and said, "I've never heard of it, and it's the first time I've seen it. Sigh, girl Jin, how are these two kinds of flour made?"

Xiang Jin said, "Simple," followed her and told the two of them how to make the potato starch and Cheng noodles, and then Uncle Duoji nodded, "I think we can add a portion to our store at that time." This crystal dumpling."

Uncle Zheng Gang said, "Okay Duoji, I think your idea is good!"

Xiang Jin and Yan Chen looked at each other and smiled, and after Xiang Jin mixed the potato starch, she asked Uncle Duoji to knead the dough, and then she went to see how Uncle Zheng Gang chopped the pork, "Uncle Zheng , another 2 minutes will be enough.”

"Okay!" Uncle Zheng Gang responded heartily.

Xiang Jin went to chop the pickled bamboo shoots and carrots.

After a while, Uncle Duoji kneaded a large smooth dough, and then he woke up in the basin, and then he walked over to see Xiang Jin's stuffing.

During the process of mixing stuffing, they would ask questions from time to time, and Xiang Jin would explain and answer them one by one.

After the stuffing was prepared, Xiang Jin felt that the dough was almost awake, so he asked them to roll out the dough for him.

After they rolled out the dough, Xiang Jin's stuffing was almost tasty, so everyone started wrapping it up.

"Hey, do you know how to make dumplings?" Seeing that Yan Chen made a good-looking dumpling, Xiang Jin couldn't help but exclaimed.

Yan Chen gave her a sideways look with pride, "Are you kidding me?! I just don't know how to cook, okay? I still make dumplings." During the Chinese New Year, he made a lot of dumplings.

The other two laughed heartily.

After a while, they made a sieve of dumplings, and then Xiang Jin went to wash his hands and boil water.

About 10 minutes later, several bowls of crystal clear and steaming hot dumplings were placed in front of several people, and Xiang Jin nodded to them, "Try it? Do you think it tastes good?"

"Oh, this dumpling is so beautiful, look, it's crystal clear, it's like that kind of warm jade," Uncle Duoji couldn't help sighing.

"Well, it's delicious!" followed Uncle Zheng Gang and said.

Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen, "Huh?"

The corners of Yan Chen's mouth curled up slightly, and then he lowered his head and began to eat, and then said, "Well, it's really delicious, very tender and fragrant! Don't you want to eat it?"

Xiang Jin shook his head, "The dumplings we ate at noon, I'm not very hungry until now."

Yan Chen nodded.

Seeing that they were all eating deliciously, Xiang Jin said, "I see Grandma Mo and the others are starting to cook dinner, so I didn't order a lot for you, lest you go back to dinner later I can’t eat it, but there are a lot of stuffing and seasonings there. You can take a pot back later, and then bring some flour back, and make bread at home. Anyway, you have a refrigerator at home, so wrap it up and go straight Just put it in the freezer."

Uncle Zheng Gang and Uncle Duoji waved their hands and refused, saying, "How can this be, no, no!"

Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen with a smile.

Yan Chen said, "Good!"

Both of them were stunned for a moment, and Xiang Jin said, "Our two families are very close, and we often do this, so you don't have to be polite! Besides, didn't you make so many dumplings for us? There are still some dumpling wrappers, we It’s almost done when it’s wrapped, and there’s so much stuffing left, I don’t want to make that dough.”

Then Uncle Zheng Gang and Uncle Duoji said that they would meet her later, and Xiang Jin waved his hand, "We don't have a refrigerator at home, and there are too many bags to eat at a time, and it would be a pity to put them away."

Yan Chen nodded to them.

Seeing the tacit understanding between her and Yan Chen, the two nodded and continued to struggle with the dumplings in the bowl.

After the meal, the sky outside also gradually darkened, Xiang Jin didn't want to stay with them for a long time, so after covering a pot of stuffing with a big new plastic bag, he brought it to Yan Chen, and then brought them some Some potato starch and clear noodles, and then they went back, but at the same time, they also agreed that tomorrow they would go to the town to buy those hot pot ingredients together, saying that they would let Uncle Tao drive tomorrow, and her mother could also take their car together.

Naturally, Xiang Jin had no objection.
