Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 280 "Interesting" opening (2)
It was the weather in early February, and it could barely be regarded as the season of early spring, so the temperature was not very high, and everyone still had to wrap themselves in thick cotton-padded jackets to keep warm.

Even if the weather is still a bit cold, it can't stop Lin Xiaoqiao from doing things with enthusiasm.

The shop has chosen the nearest auspicious day, and it is expected to open on the eighth day of February. There are still six days left. There are six small stalls on the second floor, the types of snacks to be sold.

In addition, the arrangement of manpower is also a troublesome matter. All kinds of problems need to be carefully planned and arranged by her, so that the shop can open smoothly and welcome customers.

Lin Xiaoqiao set a day for herself. In one day, she had to plan everything completely, and then in the next few days, she would follow the plan and implement it one by one.

First of all, it is to set up the shop to sell all kinds of food. This is a very critical task. Lin Xiaoqiao locked herself in the study alone, writing and drawing, and kept searching in her mind. She wrote down all the delicious snacks and pastries she had tasted in her past and present lives, and then screened them one by one, and finally established two lists.

The list lists several snacks and pastries that she thinks are more suitable for most people's tastes, and are also suitable for this season.

Holding these two lists, Lin Xiaoqiao went to see Widow Zheng, and discussed with her whether the list he made was reasonable.

In Lin Xiaoqiao's mind, Aunt Zheng is a woman who is well-informed and has her own unique views on food, so if you consult with her, you will definitely get some good advice.

Lin Xiaoqiao went straight to Widow Zheng's room. At this time, she was in the room, drinking tea and reading a book on the small couch by the window. .

Her little maid, He Ye, moved a small stool and was guarding the door of the house, holding a handkerchief and embroidering intently. When she saw Lin Xiaoqiao, she immediately got up and greeted with a smile: "Second Miss, here you are." ah."

Lin Xiaoqiao nodded kindly, and asked with a smile, "What is Aunt Zheng doing?"

"The madam is leaning on the couch and reading a book, what's the matter for the second miss?" He Ye deliberately lowered her voice and replied.

Because Widow Zheng likes to be quiet when she is reading, so she reprimanded the little maid. He Ye also knows her wife's temperament. , lowered his voice to speak.

After hearing this, Lin Xiaoqiao knew that Widow Zheng was reading, so she didn't intend to go to disturb her now, and replied to He Ye: "It's nothing, I'll come back later!" After finishing speaking, she wanted to turn around leave.

At this moment, Widow Zheng's soft voice came out: "Xiaoqiao come in and say it!"

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoqiao knew that the noise outside had already disturbed Widow Zheng, she watched He Ye playfully stuck out her little tongue, and then ran into the house quickly.

Widow Zheng saw that she was walking in a hurry, so she looked at her with a smile: "Walk slowly, such a big girl, why is she still blah blah blah."

Lin Xiaoqiao climbed onto the couch with a playful smile on his face, sat down next to Widow Zheng, and said straight to the point: "Aunt Zheng, I'm here to find you something."

Widow Zheng put her arms around Lin Xiaoqiao, took a small plate of jujube cake from the table, put it in front of the little girl, and said dotingly: "What is worth your fuss?"

Lin Xiaoqiao took a piece of pastry unceremoniously, took a bite, then handed the two sheets in his hand to Widow Zheng, and said, "Here are the two sheets I drew up, one is the store The types of pastries that will be sold on the first floor, one is the snacks that can be sold at the six small stalls on the second floor. Aunt Zheng will help me take a look and see if there is anything inappropriate, or if there is something that needs to be added or subtracted, I will do it changed."

Widow Zheng found two lists and scanned them one by one. Among them were some cakes and snacks that she had never heard of, so she asked, "Do you know how to make the food listed above?"

Lin Xiaoqiao nodded, and replied, "Almost!"

"What is this meat floss?" Widow Zheng knew that the little girl would often come up with something new, and guessed that this meat floss might be something new that she had researched by herself.

When Lin Xiaoqiao heard her ask this, the smile on the corner of her mouth immediately opened, with a big arc, she knew that the people here should have never seen meat floss. It seems that this 'floss crisp roll' can be used as a homemade The shop's specialty pastries.

After a moment of complacency, Lin Xiaoqiao explained the method of meat floss to Widow Zheng: "This meat floss is a new kind of food made from lean meat first boiled and then fried. It is golden in color and fluffy and soft in shape. The taste is crisp and mellow...uh—it's a very delicious thing, especially for making pastry fillings, it's the most suitable!"

Widow Zheng still didn't quite understand what she said, but she still nodded with a smile when she saw the joyful expression of the little girl's words.

"After we've discussed it, I'll go to the kitchen and make some for Aunt Zheng to taste." Lin Xiaoqiao was eager to present a treasure.

Widow Zheng nodded dotingly, and poured her a cup of tea: "Okay!"

Lin Xiaoqiao swallowed the last mouthful of jujube cake, and just felt a little sweet, a cup of tea was put in front of her, so she picked it up and took a sip, and explained her plan to Widow Zheng in detail: " At the pastry counter downstairs, I plan to sell these types of pastries for the time being, mung bean cakes, kidney bean rolls, jujube paste cakes, yam bean paste rolls, icing glutinous rice cakes, meat floss crisp rolls, milk green cakes, dried fruit cakes, sesame sweet potato glutinous rice cakes , Walnut Milk Cake, Peanut Milk Cake, Melon Seed Kernel Fried Cake, Milky Sweet Potato Wowotou, Egg Milk Corn Steamed Cake, Corn Flour Sesame Crisp Cake, these fifteen kinds are set for now. Because of the season, there are many ingredients None of them are available, so when the season changes, we can change some types as appropriate!"

"Among the pastries I ordered, several of them were researched by myself, and other shops probably don't sell them, so not only do they taste good, but they also have fresh patterns." Lin Xiaoqiao went on Said.

Widow Zheng listened to Lin Xiaoqiao's words quietly, and looked at the little girl who had just wiped the little hand that had held the pastry, so she took out her handkerchief and wiped her hand for her.

Lin Xiaoqiao went on to say: "As for the six small stalls upstairs, I also carefully selected six kinds of snacks, which are more suitable for this season and also meet the taste of the public. The first stall It sells this duck blood vermicelli at the entrance, which is relatively simple and fast, and does not require customers to wait for a long time. Next to its No. [-] stall, there is a small stall selling lo mei and rice dumplings. Those rice dumplings are Wrap them into small ones, about the size of a mouthful. It is most suitable for these refined scholars to eat. There are not many varieties of braised meat, just get some stewed duck liver, stewed duck intestines, braised duck intestines, and stewed duck intestines. Duck gizzards, stewed duck legs, stewed duck necks, stewed pork, stewed pig tails, stewed dried beans, it is most suitable to eat with duck blood vermicelli.
