    If there is a storefront, what Chen Nianguan wants to sell????? Not only cured meat and sauced pork, but Chen Nianguan plans to make a few more festive foods and sell them in the store. Before the New Year’s Eve,Earn another wave of money.

    So Mr. Chen Nianguan called Liu Yun and a few reserve cooks, divided them into four batches, and began to teach the new food:

    The first group is Sister-in-Law Bai and Erya. They are asked to first grind the glutinous rice into powder with a stone mill, then take an appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour and add water and meat to knead the dough, and then divide the dough into small pieces and roll them into balls.

    In addition, boil the water in a pot, put the glutinous rice balls into the water and cook until they are fully cooked and then float on the water surface. This is the most critical step for making sugar rings. The cooked glutinous rice balls are called noodles.

    Take 3/4 of the flour, add sugar and sesame seeds and mix well,

    Pour the finished powder into the flour and knead evenly. If the dough is too dry during the period, you can add some hot water until the dough is soft and hard.

    Then it’s time for the maker to play freely. Take a small ball of dough, knead it into a long strip, and then knead it into any pattern you want. The most traditional one is to connect the end to the end, divide it into six equal parts, and twist it together in the middle to formThe inner circle forms a copper coin shape with six sides in the middle, and a petal shape with six elliptical circles on the outer side, and then twist the adjacent two of the six ellipses together to form a beautiful sugar ring embryo.

    As long as you are creative, you can make a lot of different patterns of sugar rings, all of which are the first embryos of one ring and one ring, because it needs to imply continuous, endless life.

    If there is excess dough left to make sugar rings, you can knead them into short strips, the size of a thumb biscuit, also called sugar strips.

    After the pattern is done, the last step is to fry it in the oil pan.

    After heating up the oil, put the sugar rings/sticks into the hot oil and deep fry until golden.

    The second group is Tian Daxiao and his wife. They make Youjiao, also known as Jiaozai or Crispy Jiao. The shape is somewhat similar to dumplings. In fact, it is a copy of the old purse, which means rich money and wealth.

    First prepare the dough, the dough should be crispy when fried, so eggs, lard, and melted sugar water will be added to the flour, stirred evenly, and left for about half an hour.

    Then prepare the fillings. Generally, peanuts and sesame seeds are used. You can choose black or white, or both. If you have conditions, you can add some dried fruits such as walnuts and shredded coconut, and then sugar.

    Peanuts need to be roasted, but because there is no oven, we can only choose to fry them until they are fragrant. After the peanuts are fried, remove the outer skin of the peanuts, grind them by hand, and mix them with sesame seeds and sugar evenly.

    Divide the raised dough, knead it into a cylindrical shape, and then divide it into small doses, and use a rolling pin to roll it into the size of a dumpling skin. Of course, in order to ensure that the raised dough will be as crispy as a mille-feuille when fried,Therefore, the dough should have a certain thickness, not as thin as the dumpling skin.

    After the dough is ready, it can be used to wrap the stuffing, close the mouth, and then use the thumb to pinch it into a lace, the beautiful oil corner is ready, and the rest is to take it to the oil pan and fry it until it is goldenwork,

    The third group of people are the two apprentices from Spring Breeze who were bought from the dental shop later on. All they have to do is smile!

    The method and appearance of Xiaokou jujube are a bit similar to Jiandui, so it is also called Xiaojiandui, but the taste is completely different!

    The same is to make a crispy and crispy dough. Pour an appropriate amount of flour into vegetable oil. During the stirring process, add soybean oil, melted sugar water, eggs, milk and a little salt and mix well. After the dough is formed, let it restleave it for a quarter of an hour,

    Then divide the dough into long cylindrical strips of suitable size. The suitable size here depends on personal preference. If you like to eat Xiaokou dates one by one, divide them into small groups. If you like to eat bigger Xiaokou dates, divide them into large ones.group,

    After rubbing the long strips, cut them into small doses, and then round them,

    The next step is to put sesame seeds on it. Firstly, put the round balls in water for a while, so that the sesame seeds stick to them, then throw them into the sesame seeds and roll them. When the round balls are covered with sesame seeds, rub them lightly., let the sesame seeds stick tighter, then put them aside and prepare to fry them in oil.

    The key to the success of Xiaokou jujube lies in the last step, how to fry the dough so that it will crack and crack beautifully, because it is only when it cracks that it looks like a smile.

    Pick up the oil pan and burn until the oil smokes slightly. When it is rolling in the middle, you can put the jujube embryos into the oil pan. When the jujube embryos can be suspended, remove the strainer and let the jujube embryos floatFry in the oil, and don’t stir it randomly, because the Xiaokou dates are easy to open when one side is heated, so that the Xiaokou dates can be fried more evenly, and the openings will be particularly beautiful.

    When you see that the jujube embryos have opened their mouths, you should burn a small fire, otherwise the jujube embryos will fall apart if they continue to crack.

    Slowly fry the Xiaokou jujube until golden in low heat, and then you can use a strainer to pick it up!

    One by one, the jujubes are crispy and delicious, sweet but not greasy, and eaten in small bites, there will be a strong sesame aroma.

    The three groups of reserve cooks all have their own tasks, so what are Chen Nianguan and Liu Yun doing?

    Naturally, they are supporting the work of each group, and at the same time, they are also making the simplest kind of New Year's goods for the holidays, which is egg powder.

    In fact, it is simple and simple, and it is not simple and not simple.

    It’s simple because, to make egg powder, you only need to make the dough. The simplest egg powder dough is to use flour, eggs and oil, add milk and salt, mix well, and then roll it into thin slices with a rolling pin.OK,

    It's not easy to say, because when making egg powder, if you pay attention to the appearance, you will pull the pieces of dough into butterfly or twist shapes, and then, the highlight will come!

    Put the finished dough into the oil pan and fry it once, until it is crispy and crispy, you can put it on the pan.

    This is salted egg powder!

    Simple right?But when mixing the dough at the beginning, if sugar is added instead of salt, it will be sweet egg powder!

    As for the sweet egg powder, if you want to have more flavor, there is the next step, that is, adding syrup.

    Cool the fried sweet egg powder, reheat the oil in the pan, spread the sweet egg into the pan and fry for a while, take it out and brush with a layer of syrup, that is the upgraded version of sweet egg powder!

    No matter salted egg powder or sweet egg powder, their common feature is that it is extremely crispy, and it almost breaks when you bite it, and it is very easy to fall apart!

    Therefore, many timid and spineless people will be said to be "you are a piece of egg", what does it mean, um, cough, it is obvious!

    After the three groups of people worked for a day and harvested a lot of golden New Year's goods, Chen Nianguan looked at it with a smile on his face.

    In the previous life, due to social progress and economic convenience, many people did not make these new year’s goods by themselves. After all, working hours are not allowed, and secondly, whatever you want, you can go to the supermarket or buy it directly online.

    Chen Nianguan only heard about his grandma’s generation making these New Year’s goods by himself when he was very young, and his mother’s generation basically didn’t make them.

    And the reason why Chen Nianguan can do it is because his cousin's hotel, every Spring Festival, will release these New Year's goods packaged with the hotel's logo, or sell them in the sales area of the hotel lobby, or as a gift for the customers who come to patronize.

    And now, these years of festivals will naturally be launched as the signature product of her Chen's restaurant, first to publicize the upcoming restaurant among the people of Capital City.

    Of course, you also have to leave a part for your own family for the holidays, as well as for human relations.

    The Cang family, the Shi family, and the Xiao family who are partners in the restaurant will naturally prepare a New Year's gift. The Fan family and the Jiang family will also send one, and the Lin family will also give one, especially Mrs. Lin who will get it.Pass over the letter of recommendation gave, and let the husband get acquainted in front of Mr. Lin.

    Then there is Master Ming Hai, and the guard who guards the restaurant for the Chinese New Year will also give a copy, and the rest is the group of Capital City people I met on the passenger ship on the way to Beijing with me.

    The opening of the Chen Family Restaurant is scheduled for January 15th, the Lantern Festival.

    Chen Nianguan has already inquired. On the day of Lantern Festival, people in Capital City will definitely come out to go shopping, and there is no curfew at night, and there will be lantern festivals, so the traffic will definitely be considerable.

    If you choose to open on that day, you can earn a good start.

    That's why she hoped that the overturned and rebuilt restaurant would also hurry up and build it before the fifteenth day of the new year.

    As for the New Year gifts for people in Capital City, will naturally tell them about it solemnly. Mrs. Chen, who cooks a lot of delicious food on board, has opened a restaurant in Capital City, and then attach the address andThe name of the restaurant, of course, the red ticket is also indispensable, and finally, an invitation letter is attached, asking them to show their support!

    Hmm, have tasted her cooking skills on a passenger ship, and know that there are quite a few Capital City people who cook delicious food. Since they can be attracted to cook greedy cats together on a passenger ship, she made it in a restaurant made by Mrs. Chen.Food, presumably, is quite a temptation to them, right?

    Hmm, how could she let these old men in Capital City join their seafood feast so easily?

    She, Master Chen, is really scheming and scheming!

    Chen Nianguan called Qimu and asked him to find out all the information about the people in Capital City who had left contact with their residences when they parted at the pier, and then asked him to prepare the New Year's Day ceremony one by one, then turned around and went to find his lovely husband again.

    Whether it's a New Year's gift for someone, or an oil paper bag for the New Year's goods to be sold in the shop, all must be written with "Chen's Restaurant". Before the seal is returned, the husband must write it quickly!

    When Zhang Erlang heard that the task had been increased, he readily accepted it.

    Write a few more words, you can save more Wan Wan kisses!

    No loss no loss!

    As a result, some New Year gifts prepared by Chen Nianguan were sent to the Cang family, the Shi family, and the Jiang family, and each of them was even served with ????? Two cans of scallop sauce.

    Hmm, as a partner, there should always be some benefits.

    As for the share between the Xiao family and Master Ming Hai, Liu Feng naturally let Liu Feng run errands to deliver it.

    When Liu Feng went to the Buddhist nunnery, Xiao Seventh Master happened to be there too. Seeing the God of Wealth, Liu Feng automatically turned on the smiling face mode: "Master Ming Hai, Xiao Seventh Master, we are here to give you New Year gifts!"

    "Oh, what kind of New Year's ceremony is it, bring it up and show it to Grandpa!"

    Xiao Seventh Master knew now that Master Ming Hai would not be in the mood to play chess when Liu Feng came, so he simply asked someone to take away the chessboard and take the New Year gift from Liu Feng.

    Liu Feng introduced the sauced jerky and New Year’s goods one by one, and especially launched two cans of scallop sauce. To prove that the sauce is delicious, he immediately asked Xin to go to the Zhaitang to get a plate of steamed buns, and broke off a small piece.Small pieces, for dipping.

    Master Ming Hai thought it was not enough to eat one, so he continued to eat the second one.

    "This scallop sauce is really good, is it also made by your cousin?"

    Liu Feng nodded proudly.

    But no, my cousin is amazing.

    "Why didn't I see you send us this scallop sauce?" Xiao Seventh Master ate the steamed buns, looked at the festival ceremony of that year, saw the "Chen's Restaurant" on the package, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

    Come on, don't forget to put your own tricks on the gift.

    But why does this word look familiar?

    Brother Liu Feng wrote it?

    He had just read the deed written by Brother Liu Feng earlier, and he was afraid that he was right.

    "Hey, aren't we going to open a restaurant? We didn't bring much sauce when we came to Beijing, and we didn't dare to give it away because we didn't have enough when we opened the restaurant." Liu Feng touched the light gourd and said, "But now I... brotherWhen I came to Beijing, I brought a large amount of sauces, so my cousin generously took out the sauces as gifts, but there were not many of them. I gave it to you two, but it looked like it was a partner, and it looked like it was saving lives.For the benefactor's sake."

    Partner Emperor Hong smiled.

    The savior, Master Ming Hai, nodded as he ate steamed buns dipped in scallop sauce.

    Not bad, this Mrs. Chen is so grateful, she was really right in saving people.

    "By the way, one of these two cans of scallop sauce has chili peppers in it, and the other doesn't. You can tell the difference when you eat it."

    Liu Feng showed them the word "spicy" written on the jar next to the "Chenjia Yaozhu Sauce" sign, and the two nodded.

    "The Chen family?" Xiao Seventh Master suddenly realized something that he had neglected all along, "The restaurant you opened is called the Chen family restaurant?"

    "That's right."

    "Your cousin's husband's surname is Chen?"

    "No, my cousin's surname is Chen, and my cousin's husband's surname is Zhang."

    "Huh? Didn't your cousin marry your cousin's husband? Why is the restaurant still called Chen's Restaurant? Shouldn't it be called Zhang's Restaurant?" Xiao Seventh Master said.

    No, as Zhang's wife, how come the restaurant she opened is named after her maiden's surname?

    "My cousin said that she is married, Zhang's wife is also surnamed Chen, Chen is her real name, and the restaurant is hers, so naturally it is called Chen's restaurant." Liu Feng said that the cousin was right.expression.

    Xiao Seventh Master couldn't help but laugh, this Mrs. Chen is interesting!

    "Forget it, the restaurant has been remodeled for a while, when do you plan to open?" the partner Emperor Hong expressed his concern for the restaurant.

    "It's the fifteenth day of the new year!" Liu Feng grinned, "Xiao Seventh Master, my cousin will invite a lion dancer to cut the ribbon for the opening. You are a partner, so you have to join us?"

    As soon as Liu Feng said this, Master Ming Hai and Eunuch Liu raised their heads towards Xiao Seventh Master, but they didn't dare to look directly at Longyan, so they quickly lowered their heads.

    "On the fifteenth day of the new year, Lantern Festival, no, I have other important matters that day." Xiao Seventh Master shook his head, expressing regret.

    "Liu Feng, Xiao Seventh Master won't go, I will go." Master Ming Hai smacked his lips and smiled at Liu Feng.

    If you go, you will definitely be able to taste many delicacies made by Mrs. Chen.

    "You go? On the fifteenth day of the new year, there are many good men and women who come to the Grand Buddhist Temple to pray to God and worship Buddha. They are waiting in line for you. Then what, you went to the restaurant, how can you say Buddhist verses to save all living beings?"

    Master Ming Hai thought for a while, and it was indeed the case. He couldn't help sighing and chanting Amitabha.

    "Liu Feng, go back and tell your cousin that I won't be able to be there on the opening day of the restaurant, but I will prepare a generous gift for her, and let her come to see me at the Grand Buddhist Temple on the first day of the new year."

    These days, thanks to Mrs. Chen, Liu Feng has been eating at the Grand Buddhist Temple for a few days. Mrs. Chen is a real person who knows how to repay her kindness.Uneasy!

    Don't let her come to the Grand Buddhist Temple now, but considering that it's just a few days before the end of the year, the new mistress might be very busy, right?

    Master Ming Hai guessed wrong.

    Chen Nianguan is busy. He is busy taking advantage of the shopping rush of every household in Capital City in the past few days to sell as many New Year's goods as possible.

    At this time, she was helping Liu Yun in the shop while yelling, while selling jerky with sauce and fried New Year's goods deftly!

    In the small shop, the sign of the Chen Family Restaurant was prominently displayed, and six or seven people were busy.

    Since the shelves full of New Year's goods have been put on the shelves, the whole store has been filled up, which has a good image of a house full of gold.

    The first person to help them was Miss Qian Liu.

    In order to attract customers, Sazan's food tasting is an inevitable part, and there is also a red ticket for free snacks when the Chen Family Restaurant opens.

    Miss Qian Liu had almost finished trying the food in their shop, and then called her father to eat it again, and then bought a lot of food.

    Miss Qian Liu and Master Qian recognized that these new year's products were delicious, and they also advertised the sauced pork jerky and new year's products bought by this Chen's restaurant for free, so more people came.

    And there are many shops here, and now the stewards and mothers of each household are going in and out to buy New Year's gifts. Seeing this shop in the Chen Family Restaurant, don't you want to come and taste it as usual?

    "This jerky in sauce is a specialty of Funing County, the prefecture of Chuzhou. The Chen Family Restaurant is the only one here. You can try it? You can taste it and decide whether to buy it or not!"

    "Hey, do you know Yueman Building? This cured meat was snapped up by Shi Erye from the owner of our Chen Family Restaurant last year. The quantity is limited, first come, first served!"

    "Try all of them. I'm not sure if I tasted it. Take a bag back and show it to your master. I know that you may not be able to be in charge of things. Then let your master be the master?"

    "We only do six days of work, so hurry up!"

    ...

    After tasting it, I bought it, and then I looked at the Chen's restaurant on the big and small packaging oil paper bag, and asked strangely: "Chen's restaurant? Which restaurant is it? Why haven't we heard of it?"

    "Hey, of course I haven't heard of it. Our Master Chen just came to Capital City and opened in the 15th year!"

    "New restaurant?"

    "Dare to open a restaurant in Capital City, okay? I don't know where?"

    "It's at the end of Suchuan Road, the one in Spring Breeze."

    Oh, boy!

    Spring Breeze used to be a place where dignitaries and nobles were entertained. This Chen Family Restaurant has a strong background!

    So even the eyes that looked at the busy people in the shop changed.

    Naturally, there are also customers who have eaten Chen's preserved meat in Yueman Building. Seeing the rich variety of preserved meat, they still don't believe it: "Is this really the preserved meat sold in Yueman Building last year?"

    "Of course, Second Master Shi went to Funing County to buy it. If you don't believe me, I will ask Second Master Shi to testify."

    No need to look for it, Shi Cunqi brought Mrs. Fang and the steward here to buy new year's goods!

    I received the New Year's gift from Qimu steward, and heard that Chen Nianguan and others came here to make a living before the New Year's Day. After tasting the new year's products, brought whole family to help.

    "Yes, yes, Master Chen is right."

    Shi Cunqi asked Fang to take the steward to pick out the new year's goods to buy, and he stood in front of the shop and said to the customers who came to buy the new year's goods: "Everyone knows that Yueman Building sells fish curd, Chenjia rice noodles, and last year's supply.The dried cured meat is all returned by my second signing. This Master Chen is the chef who makes these delicacies. The preserved meat, sauced pork jerky, and these smiling jujubes, oil horns, etc. are all from us.The New Year’s goods only available at Chen’s Pho Shop, this one is the only one, and the quantity is limited, everyone passing by, don’t miss it.”

    Who is Second Lord Shi?

    Before he left Yueman Building, those who have been to Yueman Building naturally knew that this owner, Shi Er, belonged to his family. With his endorsement, who wouldn't believe it?

    Then they all rushed to buy cured meat and sauced pork.

    In the end, Chen Nianguan had no choice but to call the two beasts and two guards out to preside over the order and stabilize the once chaotic scene.

    When Fang and the steward bought a lot of New Year's goods and left, Chen Nianguan said goodbye with a smile, and then said to Shi Cunqi: "Thank you, Shi Erye!"

    "You're welcome, it's just a matter of raising your hands!"

    Not to mention that the reputation of Chen's Restaurant has been included in the New Year's gift list of each housekeeper. On this day, the steward of Yongchang Marquis Residence also bought a batch of Chenjia sauce jerky and shipped it back to Yongchang Marquis Residence.

    That night, told the masters in the Hou Mansion that today brought in a batch of the same type of cured meat and sauced meat supplied by Yueman Building, whether to add it to the dishes for dinner, and after getting permission, let the kitchen use the sausages bought back.Made two dishes with sauced jerky and sent them to the desks of the owners.

    Second Young Master Wen of Yongchang Marquis Residence also expressed satisfaction after eating. The steward felt that he had made a great contribution and told Second Young Master Wen everything he heard in the Chen Family Restaurant today.

    "Where is the Spring Breeze where Marquis AnShun's house originally opened?" Wen Yun was stunned.

    Others may not know why the restaurant of Marquis AnShun's family is open well, but the people of Yongchang Marquis Residence know it clearly.

    The eldest son of his family was summoned to suppress the bandits along the coast of East Jiangnan. During the period, he accidentally discovered that the pirates were colluding with the officials of the Shipbuilding Department. The evidence collected pointed directly at Marquis Anshun, but before the news reached Capital City, Marquis Anshun secretly sent someoneAssassinated Prince Wen.

    The bad news spread to the capital. Originally, everyone in the Marquis of Yongchang’s mansion thought that Prince Wen died????? due to the pirates’ revenge. Unexpectedly, Master Minghai, the eminent monk of the Great Buddha Temple, returned to Beijing with the criminal evidence of Marquis Anshun and the officials of the Shibo Department, and went directly to Beijing.up to heaven.

    As a result, Marquis Anshun's mansion fell, all his family properties were confiscated, and the male family members were convicted and beheaded. As for the female family members, some of them were filled into the court and some were sold into slavery.

    That's how it closed down in Spring Breeze.

    Now that the steward mentioned Spring Breeze, Wen Yun was a little dazed.

    Moreover, when mentioning his third brother, there was another thing that made him feel uncomfortable.

    "If you can get the restaurant in Spring Breeze, the one who runs the restaurant is probably not just that Mrs. Chen from where?"

    "Hey, this servant has inquired about it. It seems that the second master of the Shi family and the second young master of the Cang family are in partnership. This Mrs. Chen is probably mainly working as a cook."

    Wen Yun nodded.

    "The meat is really fresh. I'm used to eating the sauced meat from the usual restaurants in Capital City. It's good to change the taste once in a while."

    "Second Young Master, his family sells not only dried meat, but also other fresh New Year's products. Madam has tried it and intends to use it as a New Year's gift. Would you like to try it too?"

    "Bring it to me."

    "Hey."

    The steward graciously brought up several packs of New Year's goods that hadn't been unpacked. When Wen Yun saw the words "Chen's Restaurant" written on it, she stood up in shock: "Who wrote this word?"
