Chapter 12 Xiaolong soup dumplings
Chapter 12 Xiaolong Soup Bun
After another month, Shen Shaoguang finally found a suitable store. Not far from Fangmen, it is also the layout of the front shop and the back house. The small shop is only about ten square meters. It was originally a mutton shop. The owner of the shop was old. The children and grandchildren thought about renting out the shop in front of them, or they could drop two pieces of money.
Most of the shops in the workshop are rented together with the front and rear buildings. It is not easy to rent only the front shop. It happened that Shen Shaoguang, who had a place to live temporarily and had a low cost, hit it off.
He was picked on by several tenants in front of him, and the old man lost his mind to rent high prices, so this small shop would charge Shen Shaoguang 500 yuan per month. Shen Shaoguang agreed at once, wrote the deed, paid one year's rent in advance, and took A Yuan to pack it up.
Originally, the walls of the house had left a lot of flies, oil stains and even mutton blood and water over the years. The ground was also rammed earth, some potholes, and there were two tattered table cases with oil-stained twist holes and eyes. It really didn't look like it.
After cleaning it first and throwing away all the junk, Shen Shaoguang asked a craftsman to paint the walls again. He went to the suburban brick kiln to buy some defective blue bricks and returned them to pave the ground. He also went to the carpenter to customize the work table and a few food sheets. went to the West City to buy some cups, dishes, and chopsticks. spent five taels of silver on renting the house. It took another five taels to clean up the house, which made Shen Shaoguang very distressed. Forget it, investment, you can always earn it back.
No auspicious day was picked, and quietly, Shen Ji's restaurant opened.
Because when they were selling pancakes at Fangmen two days ago, there was a wave of verbal advertisements, and some old diners who loved pancakes came over, such as the breakfast shopping agent Liu Langjun—the other party even brought a small pot of peony. Make a gift.
"He Xiao Niangzi's food shop opened." Liu Feng smiled shyly and put the flower pot on the windowsill.
This is really more than the relationship between the hawker and the regular customer. Shen Shaoguang was about to refuse, but Liu Langjun gave a slight bow and hurried away, not even taking the two egg pancakes he just made.
"Hey—" Shen Shaoguang pursed his lips, smiled helplessly, and handed the pancake to A Yuan.
A Yuan had already eaten three dumplings, a pancake, and a bowl of porridge in the morning. Seeing Shen Shaoguang handing her the cake, she took it without a word, and opened her mouth to bite.
"Little lady, doesn't that Liu Lang Jun like you?" A Yuan suddenly whispered after halfway through.
Shen Shaoguang hurriedly looked outside the door, the customer who had just bought zongzi had already left.
"Don't talk nonsense like this in the future." Shen Shaoguang warned that the most embarrassing thing in the world is to be affectionate.
A Yuan thought for a while, "That's right, if he intends to send a matchmaker, what is this?"
"..." Shen Shaoguang raised his eyebrows to look at A Yuan, but it was also an angle! Could it be that the little girl is the face of the legend and understands in her heart?
Ah Yuan smiled and said, "These two eggs are really better than one egg."
Shen Shaoguang laughed, "If we earn more than 3,000 dollars this month, we will make you a cake with double eggs every morning."
Ah Yuan waved her hand, "No, no, save money first, doesn't the little lady want to buy a house?"
Unexpectedly, the child remembered the nagging, and Shen Shaoguang patted her arm, "It's not bad for you to eat."
Because he has his own boundaries, Shen Shaoguang has enriched the variety of food. In the morning, the time is tight. He mainly sells pancakes, zongzi and glutinous rice cakes made the night before, and buys fresh soy milk from the tofu shop and brings it back to a small stove to boil. Yes, it's a ready-made drink.
During the day, if there is time, you can mix stuffing calmly, wrap all kinds of pointed steamed buns, or make seasonal flower cakes.
Out of the tipped buns, the so-called jade tip noodles in the palace are actually special-shaped buns - with a tip on the top, revealing a little bit of filling.
The top-notch steamed buns in the small shop can’t be compared with those in the palace. The palace will always “eliminate bears” and “deer” ①. The ordinary ones are also “quail wings” and “crab yellows”, but what Shen Shaoguang cooks is civilian food. , pork buns.
People in this dynasty ate more mutton, but Shen Shaoguang was a fan of pork, thinking it was the most "sweet and fat" meat in the world, of course, because pork was relatively cheap.
If you make ordinary big steamed buns with vegetables and meat, it is not in line with Shen Shaoguang's habit of pursuing excellence in eating, so he decided to make Xiaolong Tangbao.
Xiaolong soup dumplings are well-made in later generations, and there are many in the north and south, especially the Huaiyang cuisine is the most famous, but no matter which one, the secret of making soup is almost all in the broth. The soup is ready. As for whether it tastes good or not, it depends on the skill of mixing stuffing and noodles.
Shen Shaoguang is not a chef, and his personality is not stingy. He doesn't pay attention to being authentic or not. He only cares about delicious food. According to his own taste, in addition to making the most common pure meat buns, he is afraid of getting tired. With mushrooms.
Make it and taste it with A Yuan first.
Biting one open, the soup immediately flowed out, A Yuan immediately sucked it with his mouth, Shen Shaoguang hurriedly shouted "Be careful", but it was too late, this silly maid had burned her tongue.
Even if it was scalded, the soup A Yuan was not willing to vomit, and after swallowing it, Shen Shaoguang was helpless.
After eating a basket of each stuffing, A Yuan reluctantly put down her chopsticks under Shen Shaoguang's advice to "have everything in the future". Shen Shaoguang asked her which one was delicious, and A Yuan blinked her eyes with a puzzled expression, "How can this be compared?"
Yes, the whole pig eats ginseng fruit!
Shen Shaoguang loves bamboo shoots the most. It has a faint scent of bamboo shoots and is not so greasy. However, it turns out that her taste is a little off, and pure meat sells the best.
This soup dumpling is also beautiful in appearance. Although it is not a regular eighteen pleats, it is quite good at it. This is the boy skill of the previous life. It was taught by the grandmother who opened a steamed dumpling shop in Jinmen. The popular Yujian noodles and the non-tipped vegetable and meat steamed buns look much better.
Besides, the stuffing is also fragrant, and there is an amazing soup.
As soon as Shen Shaoguang's soup dumplings were sold, when meal time arrived, one basket after another could not be sold at all. Customers were crowded in the store, and even lined up at the door, so that Shen Shaoguang had to use small bamboo slices to make waiting number plates. To avoid disputes due to waiting in line. Shen Shaoguang didn't know that this workshop had such a large capacity for steamed buns.
Later, after listening to the customer, I realized that there is a foreign shop. Shen Shaoguang was a little dazed. According to this momentum, can I make a fortune by selling buns and be listed on the New Third Board?
It's no wonder Shen Shaoguang is delusional, because it is pure meat, and the soup dumplings also follow the mid-to-high-end pasta route. The net profit of each steamed steamed steamed steamed steamed steamed steamed steamed steamed bun is about four cents, and such a small steamed steamed steamed steamed bun, how can a normal adult eat a cage of six? One, this is twenty-four coins, and you can buy seven or eight if you buy Hu cakes!
The author has something to say: ① "Qing Yi Lu": "When Zhao Zongru was in the Hanlin, he heard the message: 'Today morning, the jade sharp noodles are eaten with Xiaoxiong and stack deer as fillings, and it is even more addicting.'" Xiao Bear refers to bear white, the essence extracted from bear fat; stack deer refers to deer that have been carefully raised. ——Refer to Wang Saishi's "Tang Dynasty Diet"
