After the separation, my wardrobe is modern

Chapter 29 How Strong the Taste

After arranging everyone's work, Lin Xiaoman looked at the stove in front of the store, and the stove in the backyard was not enough.

Anyway, the yard is not small, so I just called two people and asked them to buy some bricks, dig some loess, and build two new stoves in the backyard, so that the fourth grandma used one to cook sour plum soup, and one to boil water for chicken. When the Jiugongge iron pot arrives, it will be placed in front of the store to sell spicy skewers, and the hot pot chicken will also be moved to the backyard to fry for another use.

Looking at it this way, the big iron pot in the store is just enough, and I don’t have to use the small pottery stove to cook all the time when I bring the pot back home.

Uncle Jiao, who sells steamed buns, saw people coming in and out here, and came over and asked, "Little shopkeeper, did your family hire someone to help?"

Lin Xiaoman smiled, "They're all uncles in the clan, otherwise how could it be just me and my siblings who can set up such a big stall? In the future, uncles will be there to support us."

Thinking of the hot pot chicken that he didn't eat at the end yesterday and the half pot of shabu-shabu that Lin Xiaoman gave him, Uncle Jiao swallowed his saliva. But you are selling steamed buns."

Lin Xiaoman thought for a while, and said, "I won't steam the steamed buns, I want to discuss a business with uncle."

Uncle Jiao became interested, "Tell me, little shopkeeper."

"In our house, you can eat vegetables for ten renminbi, but some guests still have to spend money to buy steamed buns. I want to stay in our house in the future, as long as you spend ten renminbi to eat vegetables, you can also eat steamed buns. It's just that I don't want to steam these steamed buns, but I want uncle to steam more steamed buns every day, can I buy it with you?"

How could Uncle Jiao disagree, "Okay, how much do you want? I'll prepare it right away. You let me earn more money, and I can't let the little shopkeeper suffer. Is it possible to get [-] for [-] steamed buns?"

Lin Xiaoman is still very satisfied with this, even if Uncle Jiao said no to giving away, she would still buy it, after all steamed buns are cheaper than vegetables and make her full, no matter how big her appetite is, eating five cents worth of steamed buns will still satisfy her, and in the end she still earns more .

The people in the store were busy killing chickens and washing vegetables, Lin Xiaoman went to pick up Lin Daqiang, and when they arrived at the restaurant, Lin Daqiang and others had just arrived.

When Lin Xiaoman came all the way, Lin Daqiang was worried, "Xiaoman, can someone eat in this shop?"

Lin Xiaoman smiled mysteriously, "Uncle Daqiang, our hot pot chicken has a strong taste, and customers can find it after smelling it. Don't worry if it's too far away and no one will come to eat."

Lin Daqiang didn't know how strong the taste she said was, and planned to stay and take a look. In case the store didn't make any money, they couldn't grab food from the two children's bowls in order to increase income for the clan.

When I went outside the store, I moved the things in the car to the backyard and asked people to wash out all the pots.

At this time, the chicken was slaughtered and chopped into pieces. According to Lin Xiaoman's request, the chicken blood was put into the pot to steam the chicken blood tofu.

Lin Xiaoman called the two cooks to the front and taught them how to make chicken hot pot.

These two people are cousins, one is called Lin Yong, the other is called Lin Mao, according to their seniority, Lin Xiaoman must be called Uncle.

Lin Yong and Lin Mao have all worked as cooks in big restaurants, and their cooking skills are not bad. After hearing Lin Xiaoman's explanation, he understood it. I choked so much that I sneezed several times.

Fortunately, he avoided the cauldron when he sneezed. This time, Lin Daqiang saw how strong the smell Lin Xiaoman said was. He just watched it for a while, almost choking his nose and tears.

"Xiao Man, what are you doing? Why are you so choking?"

Lin Xiaoman said: "This is a stir-fry made with the pepper left by my parents. My mother also left a lot of recipes for cooking. In the future, Uncle Daqiang will help us open more restaurants."

Lin Daqiang understood that Lin Xiaoman wanted to send money to the clan. Although he didn't know how much these things could earn, he wanted to taste the smell, let alone others.

Lin Xiaoman went to the cloth store to buy some cloth heads, and asked the staff to cut them into a size that could cover his mouth and nose. After returning, he gave each person in the shop a piece. First, it could avoid choking the nose, and second, so that the diners could eat well. more at ease.

Many people who had eaten hot pot chicken yesterday came here just by smelling the smell, but seeing that it has just been fried, they know that they have to wait another hour if they want to eat it today.

Some expressed regret to go shopping first, while others sat down at the table.

Lin Xiaoman looked at the tables that were half full, and wanted to call some people to go with her to the carpenter's shop to buy some tables and stools.

The autumn climate in the north is dry, and the white ash on the walls has dried up. You can eat in the restaurant after scrubbing the floor.

Lin Daqiang took the initiative to take over the task, "Xiao Man, you just watch them work in the store, and I will just take someone there. The money will be included in the cost at that time."

After speaking, he called a few people to push his family's flatbed truck and left.

Lin Xiaoman asked him to buy two more chairs with backrests. Then Lin Erlai could sit on the chairs to collect money and settle accounts, and Fourth Grandma could also sit on the chairs and sell sour plum soup.

Others in the store will prepare a few small benches, and it will be much easier to sit and work.

The fourth grandma was helping out in the backyard, and she wanted to tell Lin Xiaoman that she had to buy two big tanks, otherwise she would be too busy to fetch water, so she saw that Lin Daqiang was going to buy tables and stools, so she asked him to buy two more big tanks and bring wood cover.

When Lin Daqiang brought people back to buy things, the tables outside the house were full of people.

The chicken in the pot is cooked, and the vegetables and steamed buns are also ready.

The fourth grandma stood in front of the sour plum soup pot, with a cloth towel covering her face, holding a ladle in one hand and a bowl in the other, tense as if she was facing an enemy.

Lin Daqiang hurriedly asked someone to move the tables and chairs into the house and wipe them with a damp cloth.Just after cleaning, many guests came in the room.

Lin Xiaoman gave a demonstration, and then asked the people next to him to take over the work of filling the pot with chicken.

Lin Erlai sat in the newly bought chair and counted the money to collect the money. The speed was much faster than when Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu were alone yesterday.

Grandma Si sat in a chair and served sour plum soup for others. She said that all the drinks she drank were delicious, sour and sweet. How much sugar must be added?
After a while, all the bowls bought on the road were used up, and some people who didn't grab a seat also drank two bowls of sour plum soup to start their appetizers.

The dishwashing people in the backyard simply moved the two large basins for washing dishes to the front. When they were used up here, they quickly washed them out for the next customer.

Fourth Grandma's happy eyes narrowed into slits. If she hadn't covered her face with a cloth scarf, she might have seen the missing teeth in her mouth.

Lin Xiaoman looked at it for a while, and seeing that there was nothing wrong, he carried his basket of balm and cream on his back and went to Feng Ji Rouge Shop.

Shopkeeper Feng was explaining how to use clam oil in the shop. Seeing Lin Xiaoman coming in, he hurriedly greeted, "The shopkeeper is here? You sit down for a while, and I will come to talk to you after I greet the guests. Buddy, offer incense to the shopkeeper Tea."

Lin Xiaoman nodded and smiled at him, and followed the guy to the table and chairs next to him.

The clerk quickly served a pot of tea, Lin Xiaoman drank pretty good, not as good as the Biluochun her mother likes to drink, but much better than the tea sold in the tea shed.

Shopkeeper Feng came over quickly after greeting the guests, and first poured himself a bowl of tea to moisten his throat, "Little shopkeeper, is the clam oil available?"

"Not yet!" Lin Xiaoman said, picked up the basket on the ground, took out a small porcelain bottle of cream from it, and handed it to Shopkeeper Feng, "Treasurer Feng, how do you like this cream?"
