Border Cook

Chapter 10 Tofu Vermicelli Buns
And this jealous person actually wanted to hinder her from making money in business.

Unbearable!

Xia Mingyue glanced at Zhang and said, "Madam Zhang, there is some truth in what you said. Pigs really don't eat black vegetables!"

He spoke each word with emphasis, especially the three words "pigs won't eat it".

Xia Mingyue's voice was soft but very loud. People around her could hear it clearly. After being stunned for a moment, they all sneered.

If pigs don’t eat it, then what is eaten is not a pig.

Zhang obviously understood what Xia Mingyue meant, and her face turned red. "How dare you scold me, you bitch?"

"What's wrong with scolding you? You deserve the scolding. To be honest, if you were any more mean, I'm afraid I would scold you more than just you."

Xia Mingyue narrowed her eyes.

"What do you want to do?" Zhang subconsciously took two steps back.

"What I want to do depends on whether Madam Zhang is obedient or not." Xia Mingyue curled the corners of her mouth, and the smile on her face was full of mockery.

"You dare!" Zhang's face darkened.

"Whether I dare or not is not up to Madam Zhang to decide. I came all the way from Chuzhou to here, and I dared to do anything along the way."

Xia Mingyue looked at Zhang and said word by word, "If Madam Zhang doesn't believe it, then we'll just wait and see, how about that?"

The last two words were light but full of chilliness, which made Zhang shiver and couldn't help but shrink her head.

He looked up again and met Xia Mingyue's eyes.

Her eyes were like a deep pool of ice, full of indifference and disdain, as if she was not a person in front of Xia Mingyue, but an ant.

This Xia Mingyue is probably not someone that is easy to mess with?
Yes, I heard that Xia Mingyue came here to escape famine and was sold to Lu Qiyan as a wife by her uncle.

The journey of escaping from famine was naturally very difficult. I heard that some people traded their children for food in order to survive, and some even robbed, killed, and ate human corpses in order to fill their stomachs...

Such a person can do anything!

Zhang was a little scared and didn't even dare to look at Xia Mingyue. She screamed and ran home.

His fleeing appearance caused laughter from those around him.

"Ms. Zhang is always so rude, but I thought she was a tough person. I never thought she was a fool."

Mrs. Lu could not stop praising Xia Mingyue, "Your sister-in-law was so majestic just now, just like an official. That majesty was so powerful that even Zhang was afraid of her."

In modern times, Xia Mingyue rose from an ordinary kitchen worker to the position of a catering leader. She had worked hard all the way and had seen too many people who regarded her as a thorn in their eyes and wanted to trip her up. She had already been tempered by thousands of trials and tribulations, so scaring someone like Zhang could be said to be a piece of cake.

"My sister-in-law is making fun of me." Xia Mingyue explained, "It's just that I had to pretend to be tough in order to avoid being bullied while fleeing from the famine. Over time, I became a bit tougher."

Lu pursed her lips.

Indeed, the world is not peaceful, and many people have to grow thorns in order to survive.

I don’t know how much suffering Xia Mingyue suffered on the way here.

Mrs. Lu felt a little sorry for Xia Mingyue, but she couldn't show it. She just smiled and said, "It's good to be powerful. If you are powerful, you won't be bullied and you won't be laughed at by your younger brothers and sisters. I am big and strong, but I used to be a powerful person." "It's a pity that your talented brother always tells me to be harmonious and to suffer losses. He tells me not to care too much about everything and not to pay too much attention to those people. As a result, I dare not say or do anything more when something happens."

"Although we have made peace, I just don't see any blessings. Instead, I feel very aggrieved. I felt relieved when I saw my sister-in-law scolding Zhang just now. It seems that I have to be more powerful in the future, not for anything else, but to relieve my anger!"

"Then let's see the situation. If it's worth making peace with, we'll make peace with it. If it's not worth making peace with like Zhang's, we'll just be more powerful and vent our anger." Xia Mingyue said with a smile, "That way we won't feel aggrieved."

That's right, everything is different, we can't just seek peace.

What my sister-in-law said is much more correct than what Zhao Youcai said!
"What my sister-in-law said is absolutely right!" Mrs. Lu nodded in agreement.

The small disturbance caused by Zhang soon subsided, and Xia Mingyue and Lu continued to sell meat patties.

At about the same time as yesterday, all the meat patties were sold out.

After closing the stall and going home, Xia Mingyue bought a piece of tofu and some dried vermicelli from the street.

The golden fried tofu, soaked dried vermicelli and black vegetables are cut into small pieces, seasoned with salt and soy sauce, and wrapped into fist-sized buns, which are then placed in the steamer one by one.

The pot lid on the stove made a slight "clang" sound because of the steam, and a fragrant smell gradually emanated from the gap in the lid.

After steaming over high heat for a quarter of an hour, Xia Mingyue opened the lid of the steamer, dipped her hand in cold water and pressed the buns with a white and tender skin.

The flattened bun skin bounced back visibly the moment the fingers left.

The degree of dough proofing, the time it takes to rest, and the heat for steaming are all just right!
Xia Mingyue was very satisfied. She continued to dip her hands in cold water and picked up the buns of even size from the steamer one by one.

There were twelve steamed buns in a basket. She couldn’t finish them all by herself, so she gave six to the Lu family next door.

The Lu family had already tasted the black vegetable meat pie, so when they saw the buns with clear wrinkles and tender white skin, they were naturally looking forward to their taste.

However, Mrs. Lu had said that they had to wait until the spinach soup was ready at noon before they could officially start eating. The brothers Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu could only swallow all their saliva until the soup was served on the table. Only then did they take the buns in their hands like hungry tigers and bite them into them.

The bun skin is soft and full of flour fragrance, the tofu in the bun filling is fresh and tender, the vermicelli is soft and glutinous, and the black vegetable has a unique flavor and moderate chewiness, and the more you chew, the more fragrant the aftertaste becomes...

Zhao Dahu felt that he could eat eight of these buns in one go!
Zhao Erhu felt that the differences between brothers must be reflected in some way. As the younger brother, seven and a half would be enough...

Mrs. Lu also thought that the black vegetable, tofu and vermicelli buns were very delicious, and even suggested to Xia Mingyue that they could make such buns and sell them.

"We already have two kinds of fillings for meat pies. If we add vegetarian filling, it will be complete. The vegetarian filling can be sold cheaper than the meat filling, but the profit is more than that of the meat filling!"

Indeed, when it comes to catering, vegetarian food has always had the highest profit ratio.

but……

Xia Mingyue smiled and said, "To be honest, sister-in-law, I do plan to make some vegetarian pancakes to sell tomorrow, but they can't be filled with black vegetables, otherwise the fillings will seem a bit repetitive."

"If it's not made into black vegetable stuffing?" Mrs. Lu was surprised, "Then what kind of stuffing should it be made into?"

"The filling is leek, egg, tofu and vermicelli." Xia Mingyue replied with a smile.

"This is not bad." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu nodded repeatedly.

The reason why black vegetable meat patties are still accepted by people is that the addition of meat makes the black vegetables taste more delicious. If it were a purely vegetarian black vegetable bun, the acceptance rate might not be high.
