Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

“As for Chuan Chuan Xiang, various ingredients are cut into small pieces, skewered with bamboo sticks, and then cooked in a special spicy soup base.

People can taste the food while enjoying the fun of skewers." Jiang Xue continued to introduce.

Chen Yuxi listened with great interest. She began to imagine the scenes of hot pot and skewers in her mind. The steaming hot pot and the fragrant skewers made her look forward to it very much.

"Miss, these sound really great!" Chen Yuxi said excitedly, "I have never tried such delicacies. I really want to try them."

Jiang Xue smiled and nodded.

"Hey, third sister, when did you come?" Jiang Diao looked up at Jiang Xue while calculating with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Jiang Xue smiled slightly, nodded, and said nothing. Instead, she turned to Nanny Yan and said, "Mammy, please send the ingredients to the kitchen and let the cooks prepare them."

Nanny Yan responded and took several maids to deliver the ingredients to the kitchen. The guests in line saw this and started to talk about it curiously.

"Hey, Miss Jiang, are your shop going to have new products?" a customer in the front row asked curiously.

Jiang Xue turned around and said to everyone with a smile: "Yes, we are preparing to launch new products. Thank you all for your continued support of our shop. When the new products are released later, we will let you all try them."

The guests cheered upon hearing this. They all expressed their anticipation for the taste of the new product and praised Jiang Xue for being a business-savvy girl.

After a while, Nanny Yan came out from the kitchen and nodded to Jiang Xue. Jiang Xue knew that the ingredients were ready, so she said to the guests, "Please wait a moment, the new dishes will be ready soon."

When the family heard about the new product, they immediately became excited. They all said that although the taste of oden is very delicious, it is indeed a bit too much to eat it every day. Now that there is news about the new product, they are very excited and surprised.

"Miss Jiang, what is your new product? Please tell us about it!" a customer asked eagerly.

Jiang Xue smiled mysteriously but did not answer. Then, she turned to Jiang Diao and said, "Second brother, I'm going to the kitchen first. You stay here and take care of it."

Jiang Diao nodded and continued to work. Jiang Xue came to the kitchen and worked with the cooks.

"What I have in my hand is the condiments for malatang. I have prepared them according to the carefully blended proportions." Jiang Xue picked up a packet of condiments and showed them to the cooks surrounding her. At the same time, she also looked at the cook from the dock who she had asked the maid to call over.

"Malatang is similar to our oden in terms of preparation, but the taste and flavor are obviously different." Jiang Xue began to explain in detail, "Next, I will teach you how to stir-fry these condiments to ensure that the taste of Malatang can be perfectly presented."

Jiang Xue first heated the pan and poured in a proper amount of oil. After the oil temperature rose, she added a variety of spices and seasonings in turn, and kept stirring with a spatula to fully blend the various flavors.

"Pay attention to the control of the heat. It should not be too high or too low." Jiang Xue reminded as she operated. "Only the right heat can ensure that the aroma of the seasoning is fully fried, while not burning it."

As the seasonings were constantly stir-fried, an alluring aroma filled the kitchen. The cooks came closer to observe, and some even took up pens to record the steps and key points of the stir-frying.

"Now, pour the fried seasonings into the prepared broth." Jiang Xue continued to instruct, "The broth is the soul of Malatang, so it must be made with fresh ingredients."

Jiang Xue added some special chili oil and pepper powder to the broth to make the spicy taste of the malatang more intense.

"Okay, now we can start tasting." Jiang Xue scooped up a spoonful of the spicy hot pot soup base and tasted it. "It tastes good. Just add a little salt."

The chefs followed Jiang Xue's example and began to try to make their own spicy hot pot soup base. Under Jiang Xue's guidance, they quickly mastered the techniques of stir-frying seasonings and making soup base.

"Very good, now you have mastered the method of making spicy hot pot." Jiang Xue nodded with satisfaction, "Next, we can start preparing the ingredients."

In order to make the spicy hot pot more diverse, Jiang Xue told her maid Xier, "Xier, go find Zhang the butcher to buy some fresh meat. If you see beef at the market, remember to buy some."

"Beef?" Everyone was stunned.

In order to make the spicy hot pot more diverse, Jiang Xue specifically asked her maid Xier to buy some fresh meat, and specifically mentioned beef. However, as soon as she said this, everyone present was stunned.

As Jiang Xue's personal maid, Chen Yuxi immediately noticed something was wrong. She looked at Jiang Xue and reminded her, "Miss, this cow cannot be killed casually. The court has regulations that every cow is recorded in the book and can only be slaughtered with permission."

Jiang Xue felt sick after hearing this. She frowned and said, "Can't we kill the cow? Then won't my skewers and hot pot lose their soul? How can this spicy hot pot be called spicy hot pot without beef?"

Seeing this, Chen Yuxi hurriedly comforted her, "Miss, don't worry. Although we can't kill the cows and buy the meat directly, we may be able to find some beef sources that have been approved by the court in the market. I remember hearing someone mention a few days ago that there is a butcher shop in the east of the city that sells beef legally. Maybe we can go there and take a look."

After hearing this, Jiang Xue calmed down a little, nodded and said, "Okay, let's do as you say. Xi'er, go to the butcher shop in the east of the city and buy some fresh beef if there is any."

Nanny Yan looked at Jiang Xue's anxious expression and quickly comforted her, "Miss, you don't have to be so anxious. Although the court has strict regulations on slaughtering cattle, some old cattle or cattle that are unable to farm due to illness can be slaughtered after approval. We can apply for relevant approval documents and then purchase the beef that meets the regulations."

After hearing what Nanny Yan said, Jiang Xue showed a glimmer of hope on her face: "Really? That's great! Nanny, do you know where I can get such an approval document?"

Nanny Yan nodded: "Yes, Miss. I can go to the government to learn about the specific procedures and regulations, and then help you apply for approval. But this will take some time, you can ask the chefs to prepare other ingredients first, and we will purchase beef after the approval comes."

"Then I'll leave this matter to you." Jiang Xue said solemnly to Nanny Yan, with a hint of trust and expectation in her eyes.

Nanny Yan nodded slightly and responded, "Miss, please rest assured. I will go to the government as soon as possible to understand the relevant matters and obtain the approval documents. At the same time, I will also pay attention to the supply of beef in the market to ensure that we can purchase beef that meets the regulations in a timely manner."

When Jiang Xue heard Nanny Yan's answer, her anxiety was slightly relieved.
