Chapter 112 Bean Sprouts Tin Hot Pot
"Brother Changshun, don't just eat sliced ​​meat. The dish in boiled sliced ​​meat is delicious. The taste of meat and chili is absorbed by the dish. It tastes spicy and fragrant. If there are bean sprouts That's it, the bean sprouts in the boiled pork slices are the best."

When mentioning bean sprouts, Lan Lingxue couldn't help thinking about it even more. She couldn't help feeling a little regretful. Why didn't she send out bean sprouts? However, it wasn't a big deal. Bean sprouts would be sprouted in a few days, and it didn't happen before. Making bean sprouts, Lan Lingxue is really not interested in the usual bean sprouts, but when she eats boiled pork slices, she immediately thinks of bean sprouts, and thinking about opening a hot pot restaurant after a while, bean sprouts are an indispensable food.

"What are bean sprouts, little basket?"

Changshun is always curious about the new things that Lan Lingxue makes from time to time. For example, he has never eaten the dishes made with chili peppers today. It is really satisfying to eat, full of spicy and fragrant Yes, it's really exciting, my head is sweating early,
"It's sprouts made from beans. Soybeans and mung beans are fine. After a few days, I'll send them out for you to try. They're delicious."

Changshun began to look forward to it. I have to say that since I came to Uncle Lan's house, the food really opened my eyes. Thinking about what I ate at home before, it can't even be called food. Changshun once thought, what good deeds did he do in his previous life? In this life, he would be able to be treated by someone like Uncle Lan. When I came here, I was still a little awkward, thinking that being a long-term worker for someone else would be the same as selling the past ten years to someone else. Only now did I realize that my father was really doing it for his own good.

Seeing that Changshun was eating so refreshingly, Lan Erzhuang couldn't help but dipped his chopsticks into the small pot of red oil. The first two mouthfuls were still a bit spicy, so Lan Erzhuang quickly drank two mouthfuls of water. That look made Lan Lingxue laugh for a long time, but Lan Erzhuang felt ashamed, and took a few big mouthfuls. Now, the sense of taste has improved, and he can't stop chopsticks anymore. He just can't stop.

"Little basket, don't talk about it, this chili is really strong, it's really enjoyable to eat."

A small pot of boiled pork slices, together with hot and sour potato shreds, fish-flavored pork shreds, and chili and eggplant sticks were all gone, leaving only the two light dishes, which were left alone on the table.
"It seems that you are not very popular today, so let's wait until next time."

Lan Lingxue muttered in a strange way, and brought down these two dishes that were so delicious,

"Little basket, don't waste it, add chili tomorrow morning, fry it before eating."

Usually the Lan family rarely has leftovers, and Lan Erzhuang has always maintained a good tradition of not wasting food.
"Father, leftovers are not good for your health. Vegetables soaked in oil will produce a substance that is very bad for your health after a night. I know you care about things, but you should care about your body even more, don't you?"

Lan Lingxue took the dishes away, thinking about whether to raise a puppy while walking outside the house, the leftovers at home will increase in the future, because when the conditions are better, the dishes on the table will gradually increase. The increase of food, the leftover food is thrown away and wasted, it is better to raise a puppy, it will be very loyal from a young age, and it will also be needed for housekeeping in the future.

That night, Lan Lingxue soaked soybeans and mung beans neatly. She is a practical person, and she does what she says. Of course, she is an old hand at sprouting bean sprouts. When she lived alone, because I heard that urea is added to the bean sprouts outside, and she likes to eat boiled fish and boiled meat slices, so I specially learned how to grow bean sprouts. In fact, it is quite simple. Whether it is soybeans or mung beans, first Pick out the beans. Of course, Lan Lingxue doesn’t need to pick out the beans now. Her beans are all the best. Just wash the soybeans with water and soak them for a day. You don’t need to add water in the future, just use water every day Wash it once, pour off the water, and then spread a damp cloth towel to keep it in a moist environment. You can eat fried bean sprouts in three days, and in five or six days, it will become chubby soybean sprouts. The germination process of mung bean sprouts is similar to that of soybeans, except that it should be soaked in warm water on the first day, and stirred until the water is cool enough to not burn your hands. , From the second day onwards, its production is the same as that of soybean sprouts. The point is, starting from waiting for them to germinate the next day, if you put a heavy object on the cloth towel, the effect will be better.

Lan Lingxue was not in a hurry. Early the next morning, she took care of all the water that should be changed in the bean sprouting wooden basin, and then left the two large basins there, and turned around to throw away the peppers in the space. Prepare some more, let Dad and Brother Changshun string them up when they are free, and hang them on the fence behind their house. The fence is high enough, so you don’t have to worry about being run over by cats and dogs. It was ruined. Taking advantage of the high autumn air and abundant sunshine, I dried the chili peppers so that they could be used when opening a hot pot restaurant.

"Father, just use a needle to go through the little green stalk on the tail. Don't make a string too long, otherwise it will be too heavy and not hang well. There are about fifty or sixty peppers in a string. I Just look at it, and it’s convenient when you need it, picking a bunch is just enough to fry the chili oil once.”

Lan Erzhuang obediently began to skewer chili peppers,

"Why are you still frying it? Is it that delicious?"

"It's delicious, of course it's delicious. It's like the boiled pork slices I made yesterday. I fried the peppers in it. Isn't it delicious? However, yesterday's peppers are fresh and not too dry. If it's like In this way, the peppers are dried in the sun and then deep-fried to make them more fragrant and the dishes will have a better taste.”

Listening to my daughter, it seems that everything will become more delicious, forget it, let it go, anyway, it is right to listen to my daughter, and I will taste it first when I make it.

"Father, I'm going to town."

After explaining everything that should be explained, Lan Lingxue took the ice and went to the town. This year, the ice at home is still a little small, and the summer in the town can last for a long time, and it seems to be bottoming out. Fortunately, this summer is coming to an end, and if we stick to it for another ten days and a half months, we can switch to other projects. During the bumpy road, Lan Lingxue's head kept turning, so I should take advantage of the weather before it's too cold , when the ground is still not frozen, dig another ice cellar in your own yard, and then dig another ice cellar in the backyard of the shop in the county. In winter, you can store more ice. According to the current According to the current situation, there is only enough ice, and there is not enough. In this summer, many people came to buy ice from the ice shop. Lan Lingxue was afraid that she would sell this one and not that one. , just to cause some idleness, and her own house is really not enough, Lan Lingxue insisted that no one sold it, she just said that she asked someone to bring it over, not to mention the high price, but the quantity is really very small, Didn't you see that your house closes so early every day?It's not that he doesn't want to make money, but because there are not enough ice cubes. This reason is quite sufficient, and it saves Lan Lingxue a lot of trouble this summer.

When the carriage passed by the blacksmith's shop, Lan Lingxue thought again, she should start customizing hot pot now, just want that kind of mandarin duck pot, there is still no shortage of ancient charcoal, and then the pot can be cooked with charcoal , it’s not troublesome, and there are also hot pot tables, which need to be customized. The tables in the ice shop are obviously not enough, and the customers who eat ice products will be done in a while. The tables can be used repeatedly. When there are no tables, it’s okay. You can eat at the door with ice products, but you can’t eat hot pot. It’s a group of friends who want to drink and drink. It doesn’t matter how long it takes to eat, drink, and chat. The chance of turning over the table is not too high, so add a table It is essential, but once the tables are added, the shop will obviously look small. This is my initial underestimation. First, let’s look at the left and right two shops. Is there anyone’s shop that needs to be exchanged? If it doesn’t work, then you have to consider renting a shop elsewhere. After this plan, Lan Lingxue found out that her time It's really not enough, there are too many things, and she also wants to open a hot pot restaurant in the town at the same time as opening a restaurant in the county. This must be marked on the schedule immediately. If this is the case, I will go home at night How is the bean sprouts growing? If you open two shops, among other things, it is not a small project to supply the bean sprouts.

After Lan Lingxue delivered the ice cubes to the ice shop, and instructed the shopkeeper and shop assistants to take good care of the business, she immediately got into the carriage again, and led Xiaozhu to the blacksmith's shop. Make copper hot pot, but the cost of copper hot pot is too high, it is not suitable for use in the shop, so she asked the blacksmith to change the material to white iron, if there is stainless steel, such transparent white steel is more pleasant to use I feel comfortable, but Lan Lingxue doesn't know anything about chemistry, so if you want her to make something else, don't even think about it, you can only use the existing materials,

"Uncle blacksmith, can it be replaced with white iron? Will it be unbearable when burning charcoal?"

Although I want to change the material, I still have to consider safety. If white iron is not available, the price will be high, and I can only use copper.
"Okay, why not? There are poor people who want to eat pots, so they just use white iron to make one. It's just that this is not affordable for ordinary people. After they are returned, they may not be used once every half a year. Therefore, most of them People don’t know that white iron can be used to make pots, but it’s actually very simple, as long as the white iron is thicker.”

Hearing the blacksmith's explanation, Lan Lingxue has nothing to worry about, as long as she is safe, everything will be fine.

"Uncle blacksmith, the pot I want to make is different from the one you used to make. I don't need the small chimney in the middle. I just need a flat pot. In the middle of the pot, you can help me make a curved baffle to hold the pot There are two spaces separated inside, and the one to be welded into the pot is a whole with the pot.”

Lan Lingxue gestured twice with her hands, and was afraid that the blacksmith would not understand, so she asked the blacksmith for a pen and paper, and drew a simple hot pot figure with a few strokes,
