Transmigrated into a fat wife, farming, raising children, and picking up husbands
Chapter 25 Setting up the stall!
"No need, I can manage on my own." Lin Xiuer waved her hand. "The market is crowded and chaotic, and you're injured..."
"My injury is almost healed." Ping An interrupted her, moved his arm a little, and apart from his movements being a little slower, there was really no serious injury.
"You're pushing the cart, carrying things, and managing the stove business all by yourself. You're too busy. Let me lend you a hand."
His voice was clear and gentle, carrying an irresistible persistence.
Lin Xiuer looked at him. After spending a few days together, she found that this man was not talkative, but very principled. Once he made up his mind, it seemed difficult to change it.
Besides, thinking about it, what he said makes sense. Having a man by her side when setting up a stall for the first time is always better than her, a young woman, facing the world alone.
"Well... alright then." Lin Xiuer compromised. "Then you can come with me. After we sell all the pancakes, I'll take you to the pharmacy to have a doctor check your pulse."
"Okay." Ping An nodded, walked to the stroller, naturally gripped the handlebars to test his strength, and then looked at Lin Xiuer, "Let's go."
Lin Xiuer carefully arranged the prepared ingredients, sauce jars, bowls, chopsticks, and other items, and then checked the stove and charcoal fire again.
Mrs. Wang carried the sleepy-eyed baby out to see them off, her eyes full of worry and anticipation: "Xiuer, be safe, be careful on the road, and come back early if you don't sell everything, okay?"
"Okay, Mother."
The morning market in Peach Blossom Town is already bustling with activity.
The shouts of vendors, the haggling of buyers, and the air filled with the aroma of various foods and the atmosphere of the marketplace.
Lin Xiuer and Ping An pushed the cart together, weaving through the crowded people, and went straight to Hu Yidao's stall.
Old Hu was chopping bones with a knife when he saw them, and a smile immediately spread across his greasy face. He gestured with his chin to a small open space next to his stall, just big enough for Lin Xiuer's cart.
"You're here? We've saved room for you! Hurry up, my stomach is rumbling with hunger, all those pancakes you mentioned yesterday have really whetted my appetite."
"Thanks, Lao Hu!" Lin Xiuer parked the car quickly and began to arrange the things with her hands and feet.
The stove was lit, the iron plate was placed on it to heat up, and sauce jars, basins, eggs, vegetables and meat were laid out one by one.
Ping An wasn't idle either; she helped her arrange the ingredients one by one.
Today he was wearing the coarse cloth clothes that Lin Xiuer had made for him.
Although it was ordinary fabric, it must be said that Liu Sanzhen's craftsmanship was superb. Based on just a few words of description from Lin Xiuer, he was able to make the clothes fit so well.
It accentuated his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and upright posture. His already outstanding appearance and the elegant temperament that even amnesia could not conceal made him stand out from the crowd in the greasy and noisy vegetable market.
Lin Xiuer first brushed lard onto the griddle, then placed two slices of marinated pork belly on it and slowly fried them.
As soon as the marbled pork slices touched the sizzling hot iron plate, they released a sizzling sound, along with the aroma of the meat and the salty fragrance of the marinade.
While cutting meat for a customer, Hu Yidao glanced curiously in their direction and said, "Sister Lin, what's this new thing you've prepared? It smells delicious!"
"You'll see in a minute. I guarantee you'll be the first one to try!"
Without even looking up, Lin Xiuer quickly pinched off a piece of dough and skillfully rolled it into a long strip on an oiled cutting board.
Spread a little oil paste on it, roll it up, flatten it, and then roll it into a rectangular thin pancake. The movements are fluid and graceful, with a dexterity that seems out of place for his plump figure.
The dough landed with a "thud" on the hot griddle brushed with lard, sizzling and releasing its aroma.
As the pancake heated up, small bubbles quickly formed. She used a bamboo stick to rapidly rotate and flip the pancake, and after both sides were lightly browned, a huge hollow bubble gradually formed, like an inflated sac.
The most crucial step is here!
She quickly poked a small hole in the most bulging part of the pancake with her chopsticks, and with her other hand, she brought the bowl of beaten and seasoned egg liquid close to her mouth and precisely poured it into the pancake through the small hole.
Sizzle—the aroma is fully released the moment the egg mixture touches the hot pancake!
An elderly woman who came to buy groceries stared wide-eyed: "Young lady, how come your egg-wrapped buns smell even better than meat? How did you manage to pour the egg mixture in?"
Lin Xiuer's hands flew as she flipped the pancake over. Smiling, she said, "Auntie, this is called an egg-filled pancake, also known as a 'Golden Auspicious Pancake.' The egg inside symbolizes abundant wealth and good fortune. Would you like to try it when it's done?"
The aroma of the crispy bread, the rich freshness of the eggs, and the slightly charred, oily scent of the pork belly blend together to create a powerful and novel fragrance that travels far on the wind.
This taste was an unprecedented shock to the residents of Taohua Town, who were used to eating flatbread, steamed buns, and plain porridge.
Hu Yidao sniffed, his eyes widening: "Hey! It smells so good!"
Several women who were shopping nearby stopped and curiously gathered around the cart to look at it: "What are you making? I've never seen anything like it before."
Lin Xiuer didn't have time to talk; she quickly brushed a thick, glossy secret sauce onto the fried pancakes.
He picked up two tender vegetable leaves, placed a slice of roasted pork belly that was crisp and flavorful, sprinkled a pinch of tangy pickled vegetable pieces, folded it in half, wrapped it in a cut banana leaf, and handed it to Lao Hu, who had been craning his neck to wait.
"Old Hu, have a taste! You promised, I'd treat you to the first deluxe version with extra meat!"
Hu Yidao didn't stand on ceremony. He took the freshly baked pancake, which was so hot that he switched it from his left hand to his right, blew on it a couple of times, and then couldn't wait to take a big bite.
Several onlookers stared at him.
Hu Yidao chewed twice, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then his cheeks puffed out rapidly as he mumbled, "Delicious! It's fucking delicious! This pancake is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the egg is as tender as tofu! This meat... this sauce... it's amazing!"
He finished the pancake in a few bites, smacked his lips with lingering satisfaction, and quickly pulled out thirty copper coins and slapped them onto Lin Xiuer's cutting board.
"One isn't enough, Fatty Lin, give me another one! No, two, they smell so good, I didn't even taste them before."
His words had an immediate effect.
Several people who had been watching nearby immediately gathered around.
"Give me one too! I want to try it and see what it tastes like!"
"It smells delicious, how much is it?"
Lin Xiuer had already set the prices and answered crisply, "The regular one, a flatbread with an egg and sauce, is five coins! Eight coins with just vegetables, and twelve coins with both meat and vegetables!"
This price isn't cheap for the morning market, but it's more substantial than meat buns or sesame seed cakes. Combined with the enticing aroma and Hu Yidao's vivid brand name, people were immediately willing to pay.
"Let's start with the regular one!"
"I want one with extra meat!"
"Me too!"
"Alright, alright, everyone, don't rush, one at a time. Brother Hu has already paid, I need to make him another one."
Lin Xiuer's hands never stopped; she deftly pinched off pieces of dough and rolled them out.
Ping An, who was standing nearby, helped her add firewood and tended the fire.
The man's striking good looks quickly attracted the attention of those around him.
Lin Xiuer used to gamble frequently in town, and given her unusual size, she attracted a lot of gossipy people who often talked about her.
Granny Wang, who was selling vegetables nearby, craned her neck to look at Lin Xiuer, then glanced at Ping An, who was tidying up firewood beside her, and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, Lin family girl, who is this handsome young man? He looks unfamiliar. He's not from our town, is he?"
