Chapter 251 Oh My God! It’s Open
Another method is to mix buckwheat flour with boiling water into a sticky batter, then use cold water to make palm-sized pancakes with finger prints on them, and steam them directly in a steamer.
After steaming for one stick of incense, the cake is ready.
There is little difference between the two methods, both of which involve letting the buckwheat noodles mature and then cool them down to set.
Shen Youyou wanted to eat the one with rice crust, which was the last layer of the steamed cake, the kind that was slightly burnt, so Li Jingshu chose the first one.
To be honest, Li Jingshu hadn't done it for a long time, so she was a little unfamiliar with it. When she poured the buckwheat noodles into the hot water and stirred them,
It was still a bit slow. When the first pot came out, there was a lot of burnt part in the last layer.
The second pot went much smoother.
By the third pot, several women were eager to try.
For example, my eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Song, Shen Mazi’s wife, and a few others who like to cook.
Shen Youyou said, "If you want to try it, just give it a try. Aunts and aunts, each of you can make a pot, and then we can compare them at the end. There are many people at the post station today, let's see if they eat it. Haha, maybe we can sell a few servings."
Li Jingshu was helpless: "You are selling food in someone else's post station, isn't that a bit unkind?"
Shen Youyou: "What's the big deal? Can they only eat pao gao and nothing else? This is just a side dish for them at most."
Shen Youyou immediately called a few sisters to help her build a table with wooden boards in the front yard and bring a few small bamboo stools over.
I rolled up my sleeves and started to season the food myself. Please note that seasoning is also particular. The sesame paste should not be too thick. It is best to have a soupy texture.
Do not cut the garlic with a knife, but mash it with a mortar.
I prepared two bowls of sesame paste water and garlic water, and added some vinegar and sesame oil.
Shen Youyou asked Erya to help her move to the front yard, and called the kids, "Grab the bamboo forks and bowls. Do you want to eat some pao gao?"
When Shen Luming heard this, he was the first to rush over, picked up the two finished jars and was ready to leave.
Shen Yuanbao grabbed him and said, "You should at least wash it. Don't you see there are still bamboo shavings on it?"
After that, he called to his other brothers and sisters: "Come, follow me and wash the bamboo bowls and forks first."
Shen Nannan held a bamboo bowl in one hand and a fork in the other: "Lulu, what do you think pao gao is? Is it sweet?"
Shen Luming had been absent-minded for a long time. After washing the dishes, he only had time to say, "You'll know after you eat it."
Just run away quickly.
As for Shen Youyou, she has already set up her first pancake stall in this era with the help of her sisters and aunts.
It was similar to the stalls in the previous life, but hers was simpler, with just a table about half a step high made of adobe and wooden boards.
If you really set up a stall, you can also build a bench as high as a small stool for everyone to sit on. Of course, you can also make small stools.
"Are you almost ready?"
The little kids sat there obediently, holding bamboo forks in their hands and staring eagerly.
Shen Youyou nodded and took out a small dagger: "Come one by one, my dear, do you like the fine ones or the strong ones?"
Shen Nannan was the first to say: "Sister Yoyo, can I have one too?"
Oh! The little guy is quite greedy.
But this is not a problem. Shen Youyou took out a normal steamed cake and a pot-bottom steamed cake, stacked the two pieces together, and started cutting them into pieces one by one.
Then use a small bamboo cup to prepare the seasoning. The size of the bamboo cup is about the same as that of a small wine glass. First, add a large spoonful of sesame paste water, a spoonful of garlic water, two drops of sesame oil, and then a spoonful of vinegar. If you like sour food, you can add two spoonfuls.
After Shen Youyou finished one, she looked at Dayajie and the others and asked, "Do you understand?"
The sisters nodded.
"Okay, you can give the rest to your brothers and sisters, two yuan at a time. Two yuan is a penny for each portion. If you want more after you finish, make more. Don't eat too much, little ones, it's hard to digest."
She made two more plates for herself, intending to give them to Shopkeeper Bai and Xiao Wu to try.
Inn Lobby
Shen Youyou was wearing a neat men's suit, a dark blue coarse cloth shorts: "Uncle Bai, the pao cake we are going to sell tomorrow is ready. Please try it and give me your opinion."
Shopkeeper Bai put down the brush in his hand. The inn was almost full in the next two days and he was very busy.
They finally had some free time and happened to meet Shen Youyou who brought them food. Even now they didn't know that the child in front of them was a girl.
"Come, let me try it."
After saying that, Shopkeeper Bai took the bamboo fork and leaned over the counter to pick up a piece of meat.
Shen Youyou reminded: "Eat it with the sauce."
Shopkeeper Bai picked up the bamboo tube containing the seasoning, dipped it in it, and put it into his mouth.
After chewing it twice, his eyes widened: "This taste... is cool and refreshing, and very chewy."
Shopkeeper Bai immediately took another piece, this time without dipping it in seasoning, and put it into his mouth. Although it was still chewy, there was no amazing taste, just a slight salty taste.
He picked up another piece and dipped it in the sauce. "Oh, this thing is absolutely amazing with this sauce. I see there is sesame paste and sesame oil in it, right?"
Shen Youyou nodded and said, "Uncle is right."
Shopkeeper Bai ate a few more pieces and asked, "How much do you plan to sell it for?"
"One penny a copy."
Shopkeeper Bai shook his head and said, "I think I'll lose a penny. How much did you pay for the sesame paste and sesame oil?"
Only then did Shen Youyou come to her senses. Yes, they are cheap nowadays because sesame paste and sesame oil are also cheap. Now these two kinds of things are sold at 60 cents per pound.
Seeing that Shen Youyou had come to his senses, Shopkeeper Bai continued: "I suggest you buy one for three cents, or two for five cents."
Indeed, although soba noodles are cheap, the price of sesame paste and sesame oil is such that they would lose money if they bought one cent each.
Shen Youyou nodded to indicate that she understood.
At this moment, a man who looked like a butler came down to order food for the master upstairs.
I saw the shopkeeper lying on the counter eating food that didn't look very good, and he was eating it with gusto.
He moved over, and since it was not his first time here, he half-jokingly said, "Boss, is the kitchen ready for dinner? Are you ready to eat?"
Shopkeeper Bai chuckled and said, "Manager Liu, this food was sent to me by my nephew to try. The taste was so unique that I couldn't resist."
Manager Liu was shocked when he heard this? Unique?
Recently, their young master was in a hurry to accompany the old lady to burn incense, so he didn't want to eat anything. Especially since the old lady asked him to eat vegetarian food and not meat, the young master was even more unwilling to eat.
He looked at the baogao in another bamboo bowl and asked Shen Youyou, "Is this vegetarian? Did you add any animal oil when making it?"
Shen Youyou understood and said, "This is completely vegetarian. It uses vegetable oil. It's sesame oil, don't worry."
She pointed to the bowl on the table that was originally for Xiaowu and said, "No one has touched this one. You can try it first."
Manager Liu was not polite either. It was obvious that although the bamboo bowl and bamboo fork were very simple, they must have been newly made.
He picked up a piece and followed Shen Youyou's instructions, dipped it in the seasoning and put it in his mouth. His eyes lit up: "It's chewy, smooth, sour and spicy."
This kind of food is very appetizing just by taking a bite.
