Dressed as a blacksmith

Today was Meng Bei's first day at work, he and Li Xiumei woke up at Yinshi, and went to Yuqiaoji as soon as the curfew passed.

Ming Xu also prepared the ingredients for the chicken cake early in the morning, opened the door and waited for them.

As soon as Meng Bei passed by, he was able to beat the eggs by hand, and Ming Xu and Ming Chen helped Li Xiumei prepare the dishes of vegetable pancakes.

In the middle of the day, Meng Bei and Li Xiumei set off to the pier with a small cart.

The street of the wharf is full of hawkers selling food, and the two found a good place to settle down.When the hour of Chen came to work, the two of them gradually became overwhelmed.

When Qiao Yuan came to the shop, Ming Xu and Ming Chen had already baked the first batch of chicken cakes.Qiao Yuan tasted one and said: "It's a little dry, I have to continue practicing."

This time, Meng Bei sent a lot of eggs at once, so he could practice more times.Qiao Yuan asked Ming Chen to continue practicing chicken cakes, and Ming Xu followed him to learn how to make meat floss.

This is done in a frying pan. Although the process is labor-intensive, it is still easy to control, and has a long shelf life, so you don't have to do it every day.You can make the oily pastry by hand while cooking the meat. This step is more difficult and requires good practice.

Qiao Yuan sighed, there is still not enough manpower, but the business must expand slowly, and let Yu Qiaoji make a stable profit first.

Lin Cuifen stopped making hair cakes for the time being, and is still helping him in the shop today, mainly responsible for the production of dried sweet potatoes.After steaming and cutting, bake in the oven directly. This can be done more at one time, and it is very durable if stored properly, so you don’t have to spend time every day.

According to Mingxu Mingchen’s current learning results, at the beginning of the store’s opening, Mingxu was in charge of meat muffins and millet crackers, and Mingchen was in charge of chicken cakes, multi-flavored peanuts, flower buns and rice krispies made by Qiao Yuan. work.After Mingxu and Mingchen have done these things smoothly, he will follow Qiao Yuan to learn how to make flower buns.

The rice cracker candy is easy to make. Qiao Yuan had tried it at home before, but the rice cracker was too sweet, so Qiao Yuan thought about adding some hawthorn slices on it.The hawthorn here is also called Shanlihong. It is a kind of wild fruit that is everywhere on the mountain. However, because it is too sour, the villagers generally don’t eat it very much. They only pick it and send it to the medical center for medicine.

The bag of hawthorns that Qiao Yuan got was cut from Baohetang, and the old doctor Zhou refused to charge him.

Lin Cuifen took a sip of the prepared hawthorn slices and asked, "Can this be sold separately?"

Now that she has been influenced by Qiao Yuan, she already feels that there are business opportunities everywhere.

Qiao Yuan smiled and said: "Mother, your business vision is very good now." He continued: "It is indeed possible, and the hawthorn can be made into hawthorn slices for a long time. I will do all these first. If it is easy to sell, when the time comes Buy more hawthorns and make hawthorn slices all at once."

Now is the season for hawthorns to mature, and it is also slack season. If you buy them, you can get a lot.

At noon, Qiao Yuan packed some snacks to find Yu Dameng.

In the morning, he clearly recovered from the wind and cold, but Yu Dameng forced him to drink medicine.He was angry, so he had a unilateral cold war with Yu Dameng, and ignored him all the way.This time, he was almost busy with the things at hand, so he thought about Yu Dameng again.

When Yu Dameng saw him coming, he grinned and his eyes were bright.

"Stupid." Qiao Yuan said something to him, and took out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

The two were so affectionate that they completely forgot about the unhappiness in the morning.

"You take a rest for a while, just accompany me to the pier to see how Brother Meng and Sister Meng are doing."

Yu Dameng went to the backyard to wash his face, changed his clothes and followed Qiao Yuan out.

"I heard that there are a lot of delicious food at the pier. Let's just go to have lunch. Mother and the others have already filled their stomachs in the shop. We will bring some food back to Dad later."

In fact, Qiao Yuan is not hungry, he just wants to live a two-person world with Yu Dameng.

This is Qiao Yuan's first visit to Yunshui Lake Wharf. The side of the wharf is very long and there are many boats of all sizes.It will be lunch time, the boat is relatively deserted, and most people gather in the small streets along the coast, bustling and lively.

The two searched for a long time before they saw Meng Bei and Li Xiumei surrounded by the crowd. It seemed that the business was going well.Qiao Yuan didn't go over to bother, and took Yu Dameng straight to the most famous Ding Ji Yang Tang restaurant on the pier.

Mutton is expensive, and this restaurant mostly caters to decent people who come from south to north, like ordinary people who come to do odd jobs and carry big bags, they are not willing to eat it.After all, a bowl of mutton soup and two mustaches cost fifteen Wen.

The mutton soup was pure and rich. Qiao Yuan was so full at first, but he couldn't hold back and drank half a bowl. The rest was naturally wrapped up by Yu Dameng.The two ate deliciously and bought a roast goose and three pancakes for Father Yu. They were about to go home, but they were stopped by someone, "Brother Yuan."

Qiao Yuan turned his head and saw that it was the original uncle Qiao Guangzhi.Qiao Yuan was disgusted in his heart, and didn't call him, but asked directly: "What's the matter?"

Qiao Guangzhi knew that the current Qiao Yuan was not what it used to be, and the most talked about flower bun was made by him.Why didn't he see before that his nephew has such great ability.His second brother is really lucky, the daughter-in-law he married can bring money, and the younger brother he gave birth to is more capable than his two sons.

If he had known this earlier, he would never have listened to that stupid woman Xu Xiuhua and let him get married so soon!

Qiao Guangzhi thought so in his heart, but his face was still as gentle as he used to treat the original body, "Your grandma misses you, let's go to have dinner at home instead."

Qiao Yuan really vomited enough, he was more disgusted than Xu Xiuhua, so why pretend?Xu Xiuhua is not at your beck and call, as long as you keep your heart straight, the original body will not be treated so harshly.

Qiao Yuan's words were strange, "Really? I'm afraid my aunt and cousin won't welcome me."

Qiao Guangzhi choked, and laughed, "How could it be?"

"The shop is still busy. If uncle is free, I will take my leave first."

He turned away without waiting for Qiao Guangzhi's reply after he finished speaking. Qiao Guangzhi just wanted to chase after him, but Yu Dameng gave him a cross look.He couldn't move his foot no matter what, and he was angry with that stupid woman Xu Xiuhua for not listening to him and ruining his good deeds, so he must teach her a lesson when he gets home!

Now it happened that Meng Fei was working at the pier, so Qiao Yuan and Yu Dameng discussed asking Meng Fei to inquire about Qiao Guangzhi's affairs with the people near the pier in his spare time, so as to find out the situation of the wharf management.

Meng Fei agreed, and Li Xiumei then talked about today's business: "The sales are really good! We were so busy during breakfast and lunch! If we didn't bring enough vegetables, we could have more. Sell ​​some!"

Qiao Yuan was also very happy. Moving to the pier directly doubled his original profit, with more than 400 Wen. "Sister-in-law has worked hard."

Li Xiumei smiled heartily: "I'm making money, I'm happy, what's the hard work."

Qiao Yuan made them some snacks for Mingxu and Mingchen's practice today, and paid the wages again, and sent them away.

On the opening day of Yuqiaoji, Qiao Yuan got up early, in order to get more sleep, he stayed in the iron shop yesterday.

When he and Yu Dameng went to Yuqiaoji, Meng Fei was whipping eggs at high speed, and Li Xiumei was preparing pancake dishes. The two of them knew each other very well, only doing their own work in the yard, never going to the back kitchen.

Ming Xu is also very diligent, he soaked the millet last night, and now the millet crackers are all ready, and the multi-flavored peanuts for tomorrow morning are just about to be finished, and Qiao Yuan is the slowest in progress.

He quickly kneaded the dough and put it into the making of Huamo, and Yu Dameng helped him.

Ming Xu and Ming Chen looked at each other and smiled, their master and lord were really loving.

Then Father Yu and Lin Cuifen also rushed over.

As soon as the time came, the whips and gongs were hung, and Yu Qiao Ji officially opened.

"Hello, folks, folks, our Yu Qiao Ji is opening today. I think everyone knows that the flower buns that opened in the Qiushe Lai Kelou are made by our Yu Qiao Ji."

"So, our Yuqiaoji has two main businesses. One is that we can customize flower buns, wedding and birthday banquets, children's full moon and new year, shop openings, banquets, in short, you can come to us for any happy event. The second is today For the snacks and snacks in the shop, the first [-] customers who have spent in the shop will each get a catty of multi-flavored peanuts."

Yu Qiao Ji became famous on the day of the Autumn Club, and the fragrance has been wafting on this street for three days, which has whetted everyone's appetite.

Everyone wants to go in and find out whether they want to buy it or not.

There are four neat rows of shelves at the entrance, all covered with white plain gauze.You can see all kinds of goods through the plain yarn, and there are wooden signs beside them.Such as chicken cakes, which are soft and sweet, cost ten cents a piece; rice crackers, which are salty and spicy, cost seven cents a catty, etc.

In the shop, the only thing everyone recognized was pancakes, which were stacked staggered, and each stack was worth a catty, but now there are four flavors.

Crispy rice, peanuts, dried sweet potatoes, and hawthorn can be tasted. Although each person is limited to one, they are all overwhelmed by the taste, and the price of these four is the same. You can mix and choose. Buy a catty and you can taste four This taste, soon sold in full swing.

Chicken cake, ten yuan a piece, although the price is a little expensive, but it tastes really delicious. Standing in front of the shelf and taking a sip, those who have money in their pockets are reluctant to leave.

Qiao Yuan said in a timely manner: "Because of the complicated workmanship of chicken cakes, our store is currently short of manpower, so we only supply [-] pieces each at the time of Sisi every day, with a limited number."

When those who were still hesitating heard it, they put the egg cakes on their trays one after another.

The rice cracker candy is also fragrant, the sweetness of rice. You can buy a piece as big as an adult's palm for two pennies. If you are not willing to buy chicken cakes, you can buy the sweet mouth.

For flower buns, Qiao Yuan only made three.They are themed on flowers, rabbits, and gold ingots, each of which is half a tael of silver.Now the people in the shop are basically watching the scene, not buying.

However, Qiao Yuan is confident that it will only be a matter of time before these three flower buns are sold.

The most embarrassing thing is the meat muffins, which have no fragrance and seem ordinary, and they cost [-] cents a piece, but no one cares about them.

Qiao Yuan broke open one and showed it to everyone, "The ingredients in this meat muffin are refined meat, so the price is a little expensive."

It's useless to say more, someone has to taste it.He aimed at shopkeeper Zhu of Yuhuchun who was taking the chicken cake, "We will ask shopkeeper Zhu to taste it for you first."

Shopkeeper Zhu tasted one, and praised: "Salty and delicious, with a touch of sweetness. If it is paired with a pot of high-quality Longjing, it will be beautiful. Shopkeeper Qiao, pack four for me!"

As expected of the shopkeeper of the teahouse, he is a salesman!

After trying something new for him, the customers of Yuhuchun who followed him to join in the fun bought it one after another. No more.

Qiao Yuan cupped his hands and said apologetically, "This is the first day of opening. We only made [-] meat pancakes. Tomorrow it will be increased to [-]. If you want to buy it, hurry up."

Those who didn't buy it: I just regret it!

Shopkeeper Zhu took the cakes and cheerfully asked the waiter to go prepare a good Longjing.Look, today he also wants to do big business!
