The grand lady who time-traveled became a hot mom

Chapter 33

"Aunt Chunhua, would it be okay for Xiaohong to come over to my house tomorrow to accompany Xiaoming? To be honest, I really don't feel relieved to let Xiaoming stay at home alone." Put the small jars of fried sesame seeds on a special wooden shelf, and asked her.

"Okay, when Xiaohong goes home to cook, she brings Xiaoming to my house for dinner."

"That's good. I will go with you for these two days, and I will work hard for you in the future."

"What kind words are you talking about?"

"Ha ha."

Lin Damin and Lin Qiulai were loading four sets of tables and chairs, firewood and a charcoal stove onto the cart in the yard.

Originally, Fang Yumin proposed to prepare 100 bowls for sale on the first day of opening.But later Lin Qiulai said that the dried sweet potato flour is very light anyway, so it is better to bring double the amount and sell it.It is also very convenient to take it home when it is really sold out.So now there are more than 200 bowls of sweet potato noodles in the car.

In order to delay the revelation of the secret of sweet potato noodles, Fang Yumin asked everyone to unify the caliber: no longer called sweet potato noodles, but Q fans.

20 sets of wooden bowls, wooden chopsticks and wooden spoons, as well as [-] small plates and toothpicks for tasting that Fang Yumin asked to make later; wooden tubs and barrels and a crock for blanching sweet potato flour; a vegetable basket and a pack of plant ash brushes, etc. The necessary items are also loaded into the car one by one.

Now there is only pork offal and pork bone soup that are still simmering on the stove.Fang Yumin is going to stew it for another night to make the pig meat more flavorful and the bone broth richer, so that he can go to Nantou County to set up a noodle stall tomorrow morning.

Before dawn the next day, Lin Damin had already brought a mule borrowed from Lin Dawei's house to Lin Qiulai's house, along with Aunt Chunhua, Ah Qing and Xiaohong.

After the mules had fed the grass, Lin Damin and Lin Qiulai worked together to lift the pig offal and pork bone soup into the cart, tied them with ropes, and then used four boards to surround the cart. Just put the cart on the mule.

Fang Yumin and Aunt Chunhua were cooking breakfast in the kitchen, and they also made a dozen sliced ​​scallion biscuits as dry food.After everyone has had breakfast, it is time to set off.

Xiao Ming held Fang Yumin's hand reluctantly, but he knew that his father and mother were going to work, so he was very obedient and went with him without arguing.

Uncle Damin put a very strong wooden board horizontally on the two handles in front of the cart, this is the seat.It can seat four or five people when squeezed.

After Fang Yumin, Aunt Chunhua and Ah Qing sat down, Lin Qiulai drove the mule cart to Nantou County slowly, whipping his whip.

This time it was indeed an early morning, and the sky was still dark.Fang Yumin squinted her eyes and yawned, guessing it should not be five o'clock yet.

Stumbling all the way, Fang Yumin fell asleep unknowingly.At first she nodded and fell asleep, but then she felt that she was lying in a warm embrace.It was so comfortable, she couldn't help but rubbed her face against the heat source, and fell asleep so droolingly that she didn't know it.

"Xiao Lian, Xiao Lian." She was sleeping soundly, and suddenly Lin Qiulai's call came from her ears.Well, and there, it seems that I can still hear the sound of my heartbeat, which is so strange.Fang Yumin moved her body involuntarily, rubbed her cheek again, sucked in her saliva and continued to sleep.

"Xiao Lian, wake up, we're here." I felt my body shake a few more times again, and Lin Qiulai's helpless and funny voice came from my ears, um, it seemed that there were also Aunt Chunhua and Ah Qing's laughter. .What are you so happy about?Only then did Fang Yumin struggle to open her heavy eyelids.

"Wow! You, you, you..." As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a thick chest, Fang Yumin pushed Lin Qiulai away violently, and was about to reprimand him for pumping.But looking at his posture, he was actually lying on the other person's body, and grabbed the front of the other person's clothes. Also, the wet patch on his chest could not be his own saliva, could it?Fang Yumin blinked, her face turned red...

"Hehe, Xiao Lian, you have been sleeping since getting in the car, Qiu Lai's waist and legs are probably going to be numb."

"That's right, Uncle Qiulai doesn't dare to move, for fear of waking up Aunt Xiaolian, hehe~"
Fang Yumin sat up straight in embarrassment and jumped off the cart, a little afraid to look at Lin Qiulai, and said coyly, "Why didn't you wake me up earlier? Are you okay?"

"It's okay, you worked so late yesterday, and you must be sleepy when you got up so early today. Besides, you're so thin, I can walk with you on my back." Lin Qiulai smiled at Fang Yumin and comforted her.Then he jumped off the cart with ease, checked that the contents of the cart were still solid, and led the mules into the city.

Ah Qing covered her mouth and was still laughing, Aunt Chunhua also smiled and bumped Fang Yumin with her shoulder, teasing, "We've been married for so long, why are you so shy?"

"No. Who's shy?" Fang Yumin opened his eyes and said nonsense, Ah Qing couldn't help laughing out loud, Lin Qiulai couldn't help but turn his mouth up and down, and looked back at Fang Yumin with a smirk, Fang Yumin's face turned even redder.

Aunt Chunhua laughed and took out green onion pancakes for everyone to eat.There are quite a lot of people entering the city this morning, I really don't know when they get up?Fang Yumin muttered to himself while eating.

Who knew that when they led the mule cart to the snack street in West Market, the small stalls there were already full.

Fang Yumin couldn't help being speechless, it was only after eight o'clock, why did they come so early?Fang Yumin felt that the four of them had already gotten up and set off in the middle of the night, so didn't these people come out and get ready after a whole night of sleepless nights?Alas, it is not easy to make some money!

Fang Yumin really felt that the journey was too far away. If she really wanted to focus on food and selling in the future, it would be better to buy a house in the county or buy a house. How much time would be saved.

But don't think too much about it now, poor, let's work harder and save money.

After picking an open space that was not too far away and could fit four low tables, Lin Qiulai parked the mule cart firmly.The four of them worked together to unload the things on the car one by one.

Aunt Chunhua lighted the stove first, Ah Qing went to set the table and chairs, Fang Yumin set it on the large wooden table used as a chopping board, and then took out the spices and seasonings from the wooden rack and carefully placed them on the chopping board one by one.Wooden bowls, chopsticks, wooden spoons, etc. are also neatly arranged one by one.

Lin Qiu came to feed the mule, and took it to someone he knew to entrust it to him, and then went to fetch water.One stove boils water, the other heats pig water, and sweet potato flour is soaked in wooden basins.

When the sweet potato flour is soaked soft, scoop it up and put it in a bamboo basket for later use.When the pig boiled, it was removed and replaced with a pork bone soup crock pot to continue cooking.

Everyone also take advantage of this time to tidy up yourself.Fang Yumin took out four identical aprons for everyone to wear.The apron was naturally designed by her, and it was naturally sewn by Xiaohong and Aunt Chunhua.

The apron was made out of scraps of cloth that Fang Yumin took back with two pennies last time.Little Red's needlework is good, and it's very beautiful and unique.

Lin Qiulai and the four of them put on aprons like they were wearing uniforms, which differentiated them from all the food stalls in West Market.

Fang Yumin used this trick to attract people's attention. She always likes neat and clean restaurants.Although this is just a small food stall, they can't ask for it, maybe they can operate it as a restaurant in the future.

According to what was agreed before, Lin Qiu will cook the sweet potato flour, Ah Qing will do the promotion, Fang Yumin will prepare the ingredients, and Aunt Chunhua will take the plate and collect the money.

When everyone was ready, Fang Yumin uncovered the earthen pot containing pig offal, and immediately the salty smell wafted out, attracting some people to come and see the freshness.

Lin Qiulai skillfully scalded sweet potato flour, tossed it twice, and put it into a wooden bowl. Fang Yumin picked up the wooden bowl, dialed in the ingredients, then put a spoonful of pork offal, and poured pork bone soup, a bowl of hot and sour The powder is done.

Putting out the toothpicks and small wooden plates for tasting one by one, Fang Yumin made another bowl of hot and sour noodles quickly and shouted at the people who came around: "Everyone, come and taste our Hot and sour noodles. It’s newly opened today and you don’t need to pay for it. Come and taste the delicious taste that you have never eaten before.”

After finishing speaking, I deliberately used chopsticks to put down the sweet potato flour, and then put it down again. While stirring, the fragrant, spicy and sour aroma made people drool and float directly into everyone's noses.It made everyone crane their necks to look.

Only then did Fang Yumin neatly divide the hot and sour noodles into a dozen or so small plates: "Ah Qing, hurry up and serve our hot and sour noodles to everyone."

"Yes." Ah Qing came over and picked up the tray, walked up to everyone and said with a smile, "Come on, try it. It's delicious, sour, spicy and rich, and the soup is very fresh. You see, such a freshman A bowl of hot and sour noodles only costs five cents."

"Give me a try."

"I also want."

"It's delicious, but it's too little."

"I also want."

"..."

After a while, the small plates for tasting were all empty, and Fang Yumin filled another dozen plates.Ah Qing went to promote again.Fang Yumin was not afraid that she would suffer losses if she tried it, but she was afraid that no one would try it.But these people, most of them are greedy for petty gains, so they don't want to eat for nothing.Even those who didn't plan to buy hot and sour noodles couldn't resist the temptation to eat for free, so many people rushed to pick up small plates to try.

This hit Fang Yumin's heart, the more people tried it, the happier she was.Because she knows that as long as everyone tries it, the hot and sour soup and the smooth sweet potato powder will increase saliva and increase appetite. Not to mention the ancient times when resources were poor, even the modern times where materials are abundant, it is still There are many people who can't resist this good taste.

Sure enough, if the purse was a little looser, he couldn't help but want a bowl. Fang Yumin smiled and responded loudly: "Okay, I'll be here soon, this guest officer, please sit down."

If there is one, there are two. Fang Yumin still addresses all the diners with honorific titles, adhering to the principle that customers are God.Who has ever experienced the feeling of being a god when eating a bowl of noodles in this West Market?no?I don't know if it's such a good feeling to be treated preferentially, and then several people shouted: "Give me a bowl of hot and sour noodles."

Fang Yumin still greeted with a bright smile, Lin Qiu came to heat the noodles, Fang Yumin seasoned, and Aunt Chunhua brought the hot and sour noodles and collected money by the way.Ah Qing was still selling her hot and sour noodles among the crowd of onlookers.

Some people who spend money cautiously stand by the diners who bought hot and sour noodles and watch others eat.They wanted to see if the big bowl tasted as good as the one they tried?
Unexpectedly, after taking the first bite, everyone hardly raised their heads and worked hard. They were sweating profusely and their faces were flushed, but they still "sizzled" into their mouths. After finishing the soup, he raised his head and let out a breath, yelling "It's so refreshing", looking unsatisfied, wishing he could lick the wooden bowl clean.

"It's really so delicious?" The inquiring person swallowed, the hot and sour taste is too tempting.

"It's delicious. I've never eaten such delicious noodles." The person who finished eating the hot and sour noodles licked his lips with an aftertaste expression.

"Yes, it's really delicious, hot and sour, fresh and crispy." A diner wiped the corner of his mouth and asked Aunt Chunhua who was serving hot and sour noodles: "Sister, what do you make your noodles? I haven't tasted smooth and tough yet."

Aunt Chunhua laughed, and said loudly, "This is a Q powder. It is made with a secret recipe handed down from the ancestors. It is not convenient to tell you. I am sorry."

"No wonder it's so delicious."

Those who are waiting for others to eat it can't help but spend money to buy it.

Immediately, the four tables were full of people, and everyone started to get busy, even Ah Qing stopped promoting, and ran back to take over Aunt Chunhua's job.There were only twenty wooden bowls, and Aunt Chunhua was busy washing dishes again.Following the method taught by Fang Yumin, she directly brushed it with plant ash and then rinsed it with water. It was really able to remove the greasy, and it was very refreshing after rinsing it with water.

Ah Qing has a sweet mouth and quick movements. She collects money face-to-face more quickly than Aunt Chunhua.Fang Yumin couldn't help liking Ah Qing even more, so let him study with Xiao Ming in the future.In rural areas, few households actually send their children to school, because the distance is far and the tuition is expensive.

With such a busy schedule, the 100 bowls of sweet potato noodles that were supposed to be sold today have all been sold out, but there are still so many diners.So the spare sweet potato flour brought by Lin Qiulai officially appeared.

It's just that there are only half a can of pork bone soup and pig offal left.Fang Yumin's eyes rolled, and she started to yell again: "Big brothers and sisters, little sisters and brothers, look, this is cold rice noodles. It's only 3 cents for such a big bowl. Come and try it."

While talking, Fang Yumin divided the half-finished sweet potato flour into ten or so small dishes for the people in the queue to try.

"Brother, try this, it's delicious."

"Okay, it smells good."

"Give me a try too."

"Okay okay."

"Well, it's delicious. Give me a bowl of this powder."

"Okay, come right away."

Lin Qiu came and went to fetch water, while Fang Yumin scalded the noodles and kicked the seasoning.Seven or eight fried peanuts were put on the cold salad powder, and then sprinkled with coriander and scallions. The red, green and green looks beautiful, and Ah Qing served it on the table.

Those who wanted to eat hot and sour noodles, but wanted to save money, switched to cold noodles, anyway, the taste is the same.The four of Fang Yumin were so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground. It was about eleven o'clock, and they were all sold out.

Ah Qing said with a smile while packing the dishes, "Guest officer, go slowly, come back tomorrow."

"Thank you everyone, come back tomorrow." Fang Yumin, Lin Qiulai and Aunt Chunhua were all smiling, can you stop smiling?They didn't expect such a good response!
It seems that I have to make more bowls and chopsticks when I go back. No, some people don't mind standing up to eat at all, but there are too few bowls, so they have no choice but to queue up.

"Aunt Chunhua, after lunch, we will split up. You go to buy pig offal, and I go to buy spices. I will leave it to Qiulai and Ah Qing to clean up here. Also, you can buy as many pig offal as you like. How much, I'm afraid that some people will see that this pig offal is so delicious, it will probably become popular. Here are two hundred Wen, you take it first."

"Okay, then do you still buy pork?"

"I won't buy it, but when I go back, I'll take the breeding eggs to your house and ask your hen to help with the nest. None of the four hens in my house want to brood."

"Hehe, that's fine, just go back and get it."

Fang Yumin mixed the hot and sour noodles reserved for everyone to eat, and filled four big bowls. After eating with everyone, they split up and got together at the grocery store after an appointment for an hour.

Aunt Chunhua went to buy pig offal, Fang Yumin went to buy spices, Lin Qiu came to clean up the place, and took the crocks and bowls and chopsticks to the river to wash them before putting them back into the cart one by one; The small jars of seasonings and spices were also packed, and the tables and chairs were wiped clean before moving them back to the car.

After finishing their work, Lin Qiulai and Ah Qing took the mule cart to the grocery store to buy vegetable oil, soy sauce and salt.Later, Aunt Chunhua and Fang Yumin came over with the spoils, and everyone rushed home happily.
