Today's college students are the true pride of heaven, leading all the trends of this era, and it seems that the same is true now in playing.
Especially college students who study foreign languages have active and open minds and are willing to try all kinds of new things. Going to a nightclub to dance at night is a matter of course.
Huang Xiaochuan was still dressed smartly, and he looked a little out of place with the other diners sitting at the braised pork stall. The friend next to him 5, named Xiaoliu, looks a bit unworthy of the audience. He looks like a sharp-mouthed monkey three, which makes people feel that he does not look like a good person at first glance.
When he heard that Huang Xiaochuan had arrived, Jiao San, a clothes seller, abandoned his clothing stall and hurried over with a bottle of Erguotou.
"Xiao Yao, you guys are good at cooking, but you just don't want to prepare food and drinks. Didn't Brother Long give you some suggestions last time? I didn't see you taking any actual action." Jiao San said hello to Yao Yuan and complained. After two sentences, he sat down next to Xiao Liu.
"What's the matter? Mr. Jiao, your business has been going well recently, why can't you be seen easily?" Xiaoliu opened his mouth and his aura was strong.
Jiao San quickly replied: "Hey, look what you said, I didn't just see you and Brother Huang coming, so I came over to say hello to you. What's the matter? Just eat braised pork with your mouth open, why can't you take two full bites?" "After saying that, he raised the Erguotou wine bottle in his hand.
Xiao Liu looked at Huang Xiaochuan next to him with searching eyes. Seeing that Huang Xiaochuan had no intention of objecting, he replied with a smile: "Come on, I think this stew is delicious enough. I didn't want to order white wine. Here is Jiao Master's wine." In time!"
There were no wine glasses, so Jiao San had to come over with three large bowls. Tunttont evenly divided a bottle of Erguotou into three bowls, and handed one bowl to Huang Xiaochuan first.
Huang Xiaochuan looked at the half bowl of white wine with cold eyes and frowned a little: "I can't drink white wine recently. Come on, you two, or I can bring you a bottle of beer to accompany you."
Jiao San quickly stopped him: "No, Brother Huang, is that beer wine? It's just a little bit of liquor. You can take a few sips of it. I have to thank Brother Six for introducing me to that way today. The batch of clothes I bought are all They sold out and made a lot of money. You two are usually busy, so it was so nice to meet you here for a few drinks today. Later I will set up a table at Lao Mo and treat you two to a drink before we get down to business."
After Jiao San was so polite, Huang Xiaochuan stopped pushing, and Xiao Liu couldn't wait to say: "Little Fatty, you can cut two bowls of pure intestines and lungs for us, and don't add anything else. The drinker."
Hua Xiaopang'er responded crisply and started to move quickly with his hands and feet.
Yao Yuan, who had been hiding aside and saying nothing, sighed secretly, "Don't you think you still want to go to the disco?" Why would you want to stay at my stall if you have nothing to do? If you drink it in a big way, how much will it delay my business?
Yao Yuan has been acting like a chicken thief and refused to serve cold dishes at his stall, just to prevent some wine putty. A glass of wine and a bowl of stew will consume these people's energy for half a day. It will delay the business too much. He still can't stop it. If you bring drinks and all the people you know are acquaintances, there's no point in it.
Tonight, with the help of Little Fatty and Mancheng, I felt extremely relaxed. Little Fatty was busy, had a pleasant face and was eloquent, as if he was born to do business.
But Mancheng didn't say much, but his eyes were full of work. He went out to the stall for the first time today. After the initial discomfort, he quickly found his position and cooperated more and more with Xiaopang'er. tacit agreement.
As for classmate Yao Xiaohuaer, she came here just to eat and take a walk. Now that she was bored, she said hello and went home to mind her own business.
Yao Yuan was a little worried and watched Xiao Hua'er walk towards home.
Nowadays, children rarely have parents to pick them up and drop them off since they enter elementary school. They go to and from school independently. In some dual-income families, children even have to cook for themselves when they get home at noon.
It's only a ten-minute walk home from the night market, and it's a busy road, so there's nothing to worry about.
He withdrew his gaze and unexpectedly discovered that a big black face had walked up to him at some point: "Oh, Uncle Gu, why are you here again?!"
It was Gu Yanwang, the director of Qianjiakou Police Station, who came again.
King Gu Yan glanced at the diners at the braised pork stall, his eyes lingered on Huang Xiaochuan for a moment, and he let out a sigh of relief: "What's wrong? I can't come?"
"No, judging from what you said, it's not too late for us to welcome you when you're here!" Yao Yuan nodded and bowed to accompany him with a smile.
Yao Yuan guessed in his mind that his father had given instructions to Gu Changan, or it was impossible for this busy man to go to his stewed stew stall every two days.
Gu Changan did not hide it, and asked: "When will you prepare to open this stall?"
"School starts. Once the summer vacation is over, we can't do anything anymore." Yao Yuan's answer was duplicitous.
"When it comes to school, you still have to put learning first and don't put the cart before the horse." The big black face said with a serious look on his face, hands behind his back, like a veteran cadre inspecting work.
Yao Yuan was laughing beside him, but he was really too lazy to answer.
"By the way, your father's comrades are coming to Pingcheng and have to stay at your house. Are they here now?" I don't know why Gu Changan talked so much today.
"Come on, come on, I'm looking for a job in Pingcheng and have to stay for a while. He's a nice person." Yao Yuan bet that Gu Changan definitely didn't know Mancheng who came to stay for the night, so he simply didn't introduce him to him.
There was no way to introduce him. He was a good retired soldier who came to Pingcheng to look for a job. However, he was tricked into helping him buy braised food at the night market that day. This was outrageous.
Sure enough, the black-faced man just asked and said nothing else.
But Huang Xiaochuan, who was sitting there eating, seemed to become a little uncomfortable when he noticed this big black-faced man. After whispering a few words to Xiaoliu next to him, he dropped the half-finished bowl of wine and took two people with him. The college student stood up and left, but looking at Huang Xiaochuan's leaving figure, he felt that something was wrong with him.
Gu Changan seemed to be unable to find anything new to say. He pointed his finger at Yao Yuan and Xie Laozhaoer: "You guys! You can't open this stall too late. I must close it early every day."
After saying that, without waiting for the two people to answer, they turned around and left.
"Inexplicable!" Yao Yuan muttered quietly as he looked at Gu Changan's retreating back.
It's already half past nine, and more than half of the goods prepared today have been sold.
According to the agreed division of labor, Yao Yuan and Mancheng finished work at 9:30 and went home to rest first.
Xie Laozhao'er and Hu Xiaopang'er were responsible for pulling Wan'er in the second half and finishing the work.
Early the next morning, Yao Yuan and Mancheng were responsible for preparing braised food and sauced meat, and selling them at the morning market.
Xie Laozhao will take over after nine o'clock the next morning.
After this arrangement, although the two stalls will be set up in turn, everyone's workload will not be too heavy, they will not have to invest too much time, and they will not be too tired.
…
Macheng, who had just retired from the army, still retained the habit of getting up early in the army. He got up at 5:30 in the morning. When he got up, he found that Yao Yuan was missing.
After he finished washing and waited in the room for a while, Yao Yuan opened the door and came back.
"You got up so early, where have you been?" Mancheng was curious.
"I don't have much sleep, so I got up early and went out for a run every day. Let's set off now. Let's have breakfast together on the way and then start work!" Yao Yuan simply washed his face and greeted Mancheng to go out.
What I sell is cooked food and sauces. There is no need to go out before dawn to compete with those who sell agricultural and sideline products.
As long as the stall can be set up around seven o'clock, it will be just in time for the housewives to go out to do shopping.
Therefore, even if he left the stall in the morning, Yao Yuan was not in a hurry. He took Mancheng to have breakfast calmly before coming to the small courtyard.
First, he put a broken iron pot on the gas stove, picked up a bag of brown sugar and poured half a bag into the pot, then grabbed a handful of jasmine tea and sprinkled it on top of the brown sugar, and then added some orange peels that he had saved yesterday. in the pot.
Mancheng looked on eagerly: "Why do you use brown sugar?"
"The color of smoked brown sugar is beautiful, and brown sugar is cheap." Yao Yuan explained.
"What about jasmine tea?"
"Jasmine tea is also cheap." Yao Yuan replied without any hesitation.
"Actually, this is my first time to do it. Let's smoke it out first and see the effect. If it's not good, we can adjust it at any time." Seeing Mancheng's confused look, Yao Yuan quickly explained again.
All the braised food has been soaked in the braised soup overnight, and the flavor has already been thoroughly absorbed. After taking it out and drying it, place it on the large iron pot, cover it, and start smoking.
As for the elbows and pig's trotters, Yao Yuan is not going to go through this process again. He will simply reheat them, take them out while they are hot, put them on the plate and sell them directly.
As the braised soup heats up, the aroma fills the air again. The brown sugar in the smoker is caramelized, and the smoke produced carries the fragrance of tea leaves and orange peel, and the taste also flows out in waves.
Finally, a roar came from not just someone’s house in the distance: “Whose house is this? They’ve been making stew all day long?! Who are you greedy for?!”
The whole smoking process is very fast. It takes about ten minutes to complete. Just take off the fire and simmer for a while. The smoked meat will be red in color with a rich smoky flavor. You don’t need to taste it in your mouth to know that it is going to be delicious. It’s a great dish to go with wine.
Yao Yuan was proud: "Look, look, the standard of the finished product should be like this. It's no wonder that such smoked sauce braised food is not popular!"
Mancheng looked at Yao Yuan with more admiration in his eyes.
The raw meat adds up to more than 40 kilograms. After braised, the yield rate is about 70%. It is very easy for two people to handle more than 30 kilograms of braised meat.
After loading all the marinated goods into a big iron plate, and then changing the bean bag cloth on it, Yao Yuan pressed the cardboard with the selling price written on it behind the big iron plate, then stepped on the three wheels and waved his hand towards Mancheng : "Come on! Let's go!"
Mancheng held a steel scale in his hand and sat on the tricycle with one leg.
The three wheels came out of the alley briskly and headed towards Zizhu Park.
Mancheng, who was sitting in the back, suddenly said: "Master Yao, I can't use this scale, can you use it?"
