After lunch and a nap, Lin Mai would ride a tricycle to Uncle Qi's house to serve vegetables for the barbecue tonight.
Li Mingcheng wanted to follow him, saying that he wanted to find a way and he would pick up the goods later.
Lin Mai happily agreed.
In the future, if Li Mingcheng comes to pick up the goods, she will be able to further liberate herself.
Most of the urban villages in Jiangcheng are vegetable farmers. Uncle Qi’s family grows more than ten acres of vegetables.
Lin Mai bought leeks, beans, bamboo leaves and other vegetables. Seeing that Uncle Qi's edamame was growing, Lin Mai bought thirty kilograms.
Cold edamame and braised edamame were very popular at the night market food stalls in her previous life, so they shouldn't be too bad in this era.
After buying the groceries, the two of them went back.
After unloading the vegetables from the tricycle, Lin Mai was about to go out again.
Li Mingcheng asked: "Where are you going again?"
Lin Mai said: "I told people earlier that I would go to the meat joint to get some goods, but I never had time to go. I have to go today no matter what, and I can't delay it any longer."
Li Mingcheng said hurriedly: "I'll go with you."
Lin Mai waved his hand: "I haven't reached an agreement with others yet. I'll take you there after we've reached an agreement."
Zhou Caiyun got a brand new straw hat from somewhere, ran out and put it on Lin Mai's head: "It's hard to get white now. I don't pay attention to sun protection, so I'm not afraid of getting tanned again."
Lin Mai's skin can be whitened and refined quickly as long as she stays out of the sun.
She hasn't been in the sun much during this period, and her skin has become much whiter and tenderer.
Lin Mai smiled and tied the hat string of the straw hat tightly to prevent the hat from being blown away while riding a tricycle later.
Lin Mai found Zhao Hansheng's work unit according to the address he left for her. Zhao Hansheng almost forgot about her.
He was surprised when he heard Lin Mai say that she wanted to buy not only poultry offal but also intestines.
"I can understand if you buy offal. Those can be grilled and eaten. Intestines...are these edible?"
“You can eat pig intestines, but why can’t you eat poultry intestines?”
In Lin Mai's previous life, chicken intestines, duck intestines and goose intestines were very popular among foodies.
Zhao Hansheng stared at her with complicated eyes for a long time, nodded and said: "If you want it, I will charge you a token fee, and I will also sell the poultry offal to you at a low price, but you are not allowed to eat these for me when I go to your restaurant to have barbecue.
thing."
Lin Mai gestured: "No problem."
A crucial question suddenly occurred to her: "Can you make the decision?"
Zhao Hansheng glanced at her angrily: "I am the director of this department, do you think I can make the decision?"
Lin Mai smiled awkwardly and saw a few workers carrying several buckets of chicken butts, probably preparing to throw them away.
He pointed at the buckets of chicken butts and shouted cheerfully: "That! I want it!"
Zhao Hansheng looked horrified: "You even want that! You are so evil in making money!"
Lin Mai waved his hands in panic: "I'm not, I don't. Chicken butts can be eaten. Chicken butts from Hong Kong and Guangdong are good things. Don't you watch Hong Kong and Taiwan movies?"
Zhao Hansheng touched his chin, as if there is often a scene in Hong Kong movies where people rush to eat chicken butts.
He muttered: "Cantonese people eat everything, and they even eat Fujian people. We are a Jiangcheng here, who eats chicken butts~"
After thinking for a while, he waved his hand and said, "If you want it, I'll give it to you cheaply."
In the end, he sold several barrels of poultry intestines, chicken butts, and several large barrels of chicken offal to Lin Mai, and only charged her ten yuan.
Lin Mai happily returned home with the ingredients on a tricycle.
Although the snack bar has recruited enough people, Lin Mai asked Zhou Caiyun to only be responsible for management, but she is still busy.
Zhou Caiyun was shocked to see Lin Mai bring back so many poultry intestines and chicken butts.
When Lin Mai said she wanted to use these to make crispy sausages and barbecue, she didn't want to talk anymore.
Can these be eaten?
Although she didn't agree with it in her heart, she carried out everything Lin Mai told her seriously.
The store hired two handymen.
Zhou Caiyun personally took the two aunts to wash the intestines of the poultry, various internal organs and chicken butts according to Lin Mai's requirements.
Lin Mai taught Li Mingcheng, Zhou Caiyun and the two hired barbecue chefs how to make hot and crispy sausage on the spot.
After the first portion of the hot crispy sausage was freshly baked, Lin Mai invited everyone to try it.
At first, people couldn't accept this weird food, just like foreigners couldn't accept preserved eggs.
But when I mustered up the courage to take a bite, everyone was amazed.
The intestines are crispy, tender and refreshing, salty and slightly spicy, and have a rich flavor. Eating it in your mouth feels like a spring breeze.
Lin Mai encouraged everyone to try the first batch of chicken butts baked on trial.
She stopped eating the chicken butt, she was really incapable of accepting it.
The roasted chicken butt was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and it was oily when you took a bite. The taste was even better than that of kebabs. Everyone looked satisfied after eating.
Everyone was full of praise and said that they didn't expect that the chicken butt would become delicious after being grilled like this.
Lin Mai smiled and said: "In Hong Kong and Taiwan, chicken butt is not called chicken butt, it is called Qilixiang. There is also a saying that it is better to give up the golden mountain than the chicken tip. The chicken tip is the chicken butt."
In the 1980s, the poor and backward mainland people admired Hong Kong and Taiwan very much. No matter what they did, Hong Kong and Taiwan would definitely be superior.
Everyone was thinking, since chicken butt is so popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan, it must be a good thing.
People in Hu Province don't know how to eat, and they don't know that chicken butt is so delicious. They have the responsibility to correct the food prejudices of people in Hu Province, especially people in Jiangcheng.
When Wang Xiaoli was writing the menu, she asked Lin Mai: "Do we also call chicken butt Qilixiang?"
"No, it's called Shilixiang, because my roasted chicken butt is more fragrant than theirs."
Everyone laughed after hearing this.
At this moment, the little cute baby ran in with Ah Huang and shouted: "Mom, there is someone looking for you outside."
Suddenly, I smelled a strange fragrance in the kitchen. I sniffed hard with my little nose and looked at everyone suspiciously.
She asked in an arrogant voice, "Are you eating delicious food behind my back?"
Zhou Caiyun hurriedly gave her a few skewers of grilled chicken butts: "Who stole something delicious behind your back? You went out to play on your own and weren't at home!"
Lin Mai had already walked out of the kitchen and saw a young man wearing Xingyinge Brewery work clothes sitting in the store.
There is a tricycle filled with Xingaku beer parked outside the store.
Xingyinge Beer was the largest and most influential beer in Central China in the 1980s.
It's a pity that it was short-lived and disappeared soon.
Lin Mai felt as if he was in another world and asked: "Are you looking for me?"
The young man took out a bill of goods from his coat pocket and asked, "Are you Lin Mai?"
"I am."
The young man said: "I am the delivery boy of Xingyinge Brewery. Our factory director asked me to deliver the goods to you."
He handed the bill of goods in his hand to Lin Mai: "Please order some of the goods. If there is no problem, pay the money."
Lin Mai hesitantly took the order and asked with a confused look on his face: "Who asked your factory director to deliver the goods to me?"
The young man was a little impatient: "How can I, a small worker, know so much? Hurry up and receive the goods, I have to go back to deliver the goods!"
Lin Mai knew the urine of state-owned factory workers, so he didn't dare to waste any more time. He quickly asked the employees to bring in all the beer on the tricycle outside and paid for it quickly.
