The next day, after Xiang Jin went to the bank to transfer money to Yan Chen, he directly found a phone booth on the street and called him back.
"Hey, Xiang Jin?!"
"It's me! Yan Chen, I just arranged the money for you. In addition, my manuscript fee has arrived, and I have arranged a repayment of 35,000 for you. Will you also pay attention to check it when the time comes?" Xiang
Jin held the phone and got straight to the point.
"good!"
"If that's okay, I'll hang up. I'm going back. In the afternoon, I made an appointment with some aunts to teach them how to cook," Xiang Jin then added.
Yan Chen asked, "How did you teach them how to cook?"
Xiang Jin said, "Recently, there are always people in the bay asking your grandpa and Aunt Liao for vegetable seeds. We have two dogs at home, and they don't dare to come to us to ask for them, but they always ask for them.
You said that everyone is from the same place. It’s not good to give it, and it’s not good not to give it. It’s a dilemma. In fact, in the final analysis, they saw that we were making money growing vegetables in the greenhouse, so they became jealous and wanted to come to us.
We need some vegetable seeds to plant.
I just thought that they were all just trying to make money, so I simply taught them how to cook and let them open snack bars in nearby towns.
Alas, this family is not rich. It only counts if everyone is rich together. Otherwise, it will not be a problem to be remembered by others. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of being remembered. Even tigers are afraid of thieves.
There's still time for a nap.
The vegetables grown in the greenhouses by our family are all rare vegetables here. They are nothing during the day. The family just wanders around the fields all day long, and no one dares to steal them. But at night, they say no.
That's right, it's all in the dark and everyone is sleeping in the house. The person who wants to steal from you will steal it no matter how cold it is.
The lettuce, cucumbers, and other vegetables in our house are ready to be harvested after the Chinese New Year. If you say they are going to be stolen, how can you do that?
We now raise Ahua and Hucai separately. We let Hucai live at your grandpa's house and patrol the vegetable fields of your grandpa and Aunt Liao's house at night, while Ahua stayed and looked after our house.
That vegetable patch, and a few puppies guarding it.”
Yan Chen nodded on the other end of the phone, "It is indeed a hidden danger."
Xiang Jin said, "I taught them how to make things. When they go to towns and villages to open shops and start their own businesses to make money, they will always remember some of the good things I did to them. If they go to start a new business at that time,
The idea of taking advantage of some of our vegetable gardens is too much. I will bite them if I let the dogs out!"
Yan Chen laughed, "Yes, you are right and reasonable. Alas, haven't those puppies been taken away by them yet?"
Xiang Jin said, "Your grandpa and Aunt Liao's family have taken the one away. Hu Cai is taking care of it every day. My two uncles have not taken away theirs yet.
It is said that it is cold now, so let them stay with Ahua for a while longer, and wait until next year when the weather gets warmer to take them back and raise them by themselves.
Oh, by the way, let me tell you a good thing. Xiang Yao and the others will not take the one. The reason is that yesterday when Mrs. Zhang came back from the county town, she met your grandpa’s puppy on the roadside. That puppy
After barking at her for a few times, she kicked the little bastard far away.
Then Hu Cai saw it, rushed over, threw her to the ground and bit her wildly. If she hadn't put on her clothes and pants, people would have been badly injured by Hu Cai.
The bites caused her to roll around on the ground. Even her clothes and pants were bitten by Hu Cai. There were holes everywhere. If your grandpa hadn't scolded Hu Cai, that old woman's face would have been chewed by Hu Cai.
rotten.
After Xiang Yao and his family saw how ferocious Hu Cai was, they said they would no longer keep the puppy. If he bit someone, they would have to pay for the medical expenses.
Yesterday, that old lady Zhang asked us and your grandpas to compensate her, but because there were several witnesses in Baytou who saw that scene, we ignored her!"
"They came back from the county town to celebrate the New Year?" Yan Chen frowned.
Xiang Jin said, "Who knows? I guess so?"
"Is there anything wrong with the little kid she kicked?"
Xiang Jin said, "I took a look this morning and it seemed like everything was fine. He was still running around after Hu Cai's ass, so that means everything is fine, right?"
Yan Chen said, "Then you should pay more attention. She will probably not be willing to accept such a big loss. Be careful that she is not good for those dogs."
Xiang Jin said, "That's right. You don't have to worry too much about protecting your wealth. It won't eat anything given to it by strangers or unfamiliar people. It's just that the two puppies won't understand anything by then. That's right.
If someone throws a bone to it, they will rush to pick it up."
Yan Chen nodded, and then said, "Well, you can keep the little puppy that Xiang Yao and his family don't want for now. When Uncle Ming Tao sends me back in the next year, we can add it to our original plan."
I want to bring the one raised in school to the provincial capital to raise.
When our greenhouse vegetables are grown, they will be placed in the ground for us to look after and care for. If Hucai and Ahua give birth to puppies later, we don’t want to hand them over to others. Our more than 20 acres
It’s definitely not enough for just two dogs to look after the land.”
"OK!"
Yan Chen then asked, "Who are you going to teach how to make snacks?"
Xiang Jin said, "There should be several. I'm not restricted. Anyone in Wantou who wants to learn can come and learn."
"Where are you teaching? At your home?"
Xiang Jin said, "I won't call them to our home to teach them. What if they find out how to cook the stewed vegetables at our home again? Xiang Yao and her mother want to learn, so I will just let them all
Bring your own materials and come there to learn."
Yan Chen joked, "Then you are almost holding a free training class!"
Xiang Jin nodded on the other end of the phone, "Yeah!"
"Then what are you going to teach them?"
Xiang Jin said, "Just some low-cost snacks."
Yan Chen asked, "Then if you teach them to do this, will your uncle and aunt be happy? You know, you are trying to compete with them for business?"
Xiang Jin said, "That's why I talked about teaching them how to make snacks, and I have discussed it with them before. Then I will teach them how to make some stir-fries, and also teach them how to make other pastries. Anyway,
The food taught to them is different from the food taught to the people in Wan Tou. Even if someone else opens a shop on the street, everyone will not overlap in business and then conflict."
"Then won't you be very busy recently?"
"Well, I guess it will be a little bit!"
"Okay, let's do that. I'll call you in a few days!"
"good!"
"Is it still snowing in my hometown?"
"Here, it's been snowing these past few days. It's snowing heavily. There's a vast expanse of white everywhere, and there's a squeaking sound when you step on the ground."
"Then be careful on your way back, and wear thicker clothes so you don't catch a cold. The Chinese New Year will be here in a few days," Yan Chen explained.
Xiang Jin said on the other end of the phone, "I know, what's the weather like in your provincial capital?"
"It's the same as the situation back home. It's also snowing heavily and it hasn't stopped yet. Okay, go back quickly. There will be a train starting in half an hour."
"good!"
Xiang Jin did not hide the matter of teaching people how to cook at Xiang Yao's family. Instead, he let several familiar people spread the word, saying that anyone who wanted to learn could come.
At one o'clock, she arrived at Xiang Yao's house on time.
When we arrived, several people from the Bay who had previously expressed their intention to learn how to cook were waiting there with their own things.
Xiang Jin took a look at the things they each brought, which were basically sesame oil, flour, and eggs, so Xiang Jin said, "First of all, I want to make something clear to everyone, that is, I will not teach you how to cook.
The types of food our family is already doing business with.
But don’t worry, I will also carefully teach you how to make other foods, and I will not teach these foods to my family.
As long as you prepare these meals, you will have a business and make money."
Everyone expressed their understanding and understanding!
Then Xiang Jin continued, "Now, the first kind of food I teach you to make is called pancake fruit. The so-called pancake fruit, as the name suggests, is a pancake with something wrapped in it. But this pancake is different from the traditional pancake.
The approach is a little different.
The main features of this snack are that it costs little, is easy to make, is delicious and not too expensive.
In fact, the meals I will teach you to make in the next few days are all low-cost meals, and the recipes are not too complicated or cumbersome."
Everyone looked at her with a smile.
Following Xiang Jin, she asked Xiang Yao's mother, "Aunt Yang, are you ready for the carrot shreds and cabbage shreds I asked you to cut before?"
Xiang Yao's mother said, "It's ready, it's ready, it's all ready. I also prepared peanut butter and sesame sauce as you requested."
Then Xiang Yao and her grandmother went into the house and took out all those things.
Xiang Jin said, "Okay, let's get started. First of all, please take out a little bit of this flour and mix it into a paste. Yes, it's the kind of paste you usually use to spread pancakes."
Then everyone began to take out a small stainless steel basin or bowl or something and began to mix the batter.
After they had all adjusted, Xiang Jin asked Xiang Yao and her grandmother to turn up the fire on their small stove, and then said to everyone, "To make this pancake and fruit, it is best to use this kind of flat pan.
, because the pancakes spread out in this way have an even thickness, and they are heated evenly, and it takes a lot of time to make.
Now, that's it, after the pan is hot, pour a little sesame oil on it, and then spread the sesame oil evenly on the bottom of the pan, then scoop this small spoonful of flour batter on the pan, and then use this
Use the scraper to spread the batter like this and spread it into a thin round pancake. After the water vapor on it dries up, turn the pancake over.
Then crack an egg on it and spread the egg liquid evenly on the pancake. After the egg liquid dries, brush a layer of peanut butter or sesame sauce on the pancake.
Then put some shredded carrots, shredded cabbage, and fried shredded potatoes on top, then pour some sesame sauce or peanut butter on top of the dish, and then roll the pancake like this
Get it up, and then you can eat it. If you have the conditions at home, you can also roll some vermicelli or thin pork shreds in it."
"Is this good?" someone asked.
Xiang Jin said, "Okay!"
"It's very simple?!" someone else interjected.
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes, it's very simple. I am a slow mover. If you are a fast mover, you can make it in two or three minutes."
Xiang Jin put the rolled pancake fruit on the small cutting board that had been prepared aside, then cut it into several small pieces with the small shovel, and then said to the people present, "Try it."
So everyone walked over and picked up a small piece and tasted it, including the two little girls Xiang Lan and Xiang Yao.
Xiang Lan and Xiang Yao nodded quickly after taking a bite. Xiang Yao said, "Yeah, yeah, it's delicious, it's delicious, it has vegetables, noodles, peanut butter and sesame sauce. It's much better than just eating pancakes."
Xiang Lan said, "Well, shredded carrots and shredded cabbage are also crunchy. Sister, from now on, this is what we will eat when making pancakes at home, huh?"
Xiang Jin said, "We don't have such a pot at home. Also, you have to cook your own food. Have you never heard of making enough food and clothing by yourself?"
Xiang Lan curled his lips and then fell silent. Several people present found it funny, and everyone nodded to show that this kind of food could still be done.
"Oh, I didn't expect that even a pancake can be eaten like this, huh?"
"Yes, yes, Jinya is still smart and pays more attention."
Xiang Jin didn't take their compliments to heart, but said, "Okay, let's all practice our skills and deepen our impressions. Later, we will learn to make the next food."
So everyone practiced lifting and collecting one by one, and Xiang Jin sat on a stool nearby and rested.
After everyone made one each, Xiang Jin said, "I guess everyone has mastered the key. Okay, then let's do the next one, huh?"
Several people nodded, and Xiang Jin said, "The next one is actually similar to pancakes, except that this one is slightly thicker and crispier than the pancake stalls, but the sauce on this pancake is different. The main thing on this pancake is...
Apply some fruit sauce with sweet and sour flavors, such as applesauce, blueberry sauce, and ketchup.”
Someone asked, "Fruit sauce? How to make these sauces? And what kind of sauce is the blueberry sauce?"
Xiang Jin thought that blueberries would be high-priced fruits in the future world, so he said, "Oh, this blueberry is a kind of fruit, blue, small, as big as a thorn,
But it tastes very sweet, maybe we don’t have it here yet.
This applesauce and tomato sauce, as the name suggests, is a kind of sauce made from apples and tomatoes. It may be sold in some shopping malls or stores. If not, you can make your own.
Just peel the apples and tomatoes, then cut them into small dices or make apple puree and tomato juice, add sugar or rock sugar respectively, put them into a small pot and cook and stir-fry for about ten or twenty minutes.
The jam can be collected and bottled. If you want the applesauce to be sweeter and more delicious, you can add some orange peels to the applesauce when cooking it.
However, this kind of homemade jam has no preservatives or preservatives, so for the sake of safety and security, it is best to eat it as soon as possible within two or three days, otherwise it will easily deteriorate and eating it will not be good for your body."
Then someone asked, "Can we just use peanut butter and tahini?"
Xiang Jin said, "Of course! You can choose according to your actual situation. I just gave you a suggestion, because the cake made this way may taste better!"
Everyone nodded silently, and then said to Xiang Jin, "Okay, I've finished explaining the basics, then let's actually copy it.
This still needs to be made in a pan, because it will make it larger and save time and speed!"
Xiang Jin followed them and did a practical operation with them, "Well, that's it, both sides of this cake should be baked golden and crispy like this. After it is baked, spread it directly on the chopping board, and then use a knife to divide it into pieces like this
Make some small portions, and when someone wants to buy them to eat, you can brush some sauce on them and weigh some."
"Oh, this is not sold one by one, but sold by name?" Someone asked as if they had discovered a new world.
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes, this kind of cake must be sold by name, so it's a good deal!"
Everyone nodded.
Xiang Jin stepped aside and said, "Try them all!"
Everyone came up and picked up a piece and ate it.
After eating, everyone commented again, "Oh, it's good. It's crunchy and sweet. It tastes very fragrant, but it has a different taste from the pancake fruit."
"Yeah, yeah, yes, delicious, delicious!"
While everyone was tasting and practicing, Hu Yulan came unexpectedly, and she was accompanied by her little fat boy Ai Can.
"Has it started yet?"
Looking at her raised smile and the things she was holding in her hands, the smiles on everyone's faces suddenly froze, especially those of Xiang Lan and Xiang Yao, whose faces were long and dark.
He just stared at her and groaned, squinting his eyes and making her hate her with every glance!
The fat man Ai Can's eyes were a little dodgey, and his expression seemed a little submissive.
Seeing that everyone ignored her, Hu Yulan then looked at Xiang Jin and said cautiously, "Girl Jin, I heard that anyone from Wantou who wants to learn can come and learn, right?
"
Everyone looked at Xiang Jin in unison.
Xiang Jin said nothing and looked directly at Hu Yulan. No one knew what she was thinking.
Hu Yulan was also very uneasy. She mustered up a lot of courage to come here today. She was afraid that Xiang Jin would suffer if she still resented their family because of the previous things and didn't let her learn from it.
Xiang Lan rushed in front of Xiang Jin, put his hands on his hips, glared at Hu Yulan and said with a bad face, "My sister won't teach you. Your family is just a bunch of white-eyed wolves. They have no good intentions and are so bad."
Very! Even if my sister teaches everyone in Wantou, she can’t teach you! Huh!”
Seeing her angry look, Hu Yulan's face became a little embarrassed. Then she looked at Xiang Jin and said, "Girl Jin, I know that the things our family did before were a bit excessive, aren't they?
Come on, I'm going to apologize to you today, I'm sorry!" After saying that, she bent down and saluted Xiang Jin.
Xiang Jin still didn't say a word, but accepted her gesture. After staring at her for a while, he said, "Since you have apologized to me, I will accept it, and I will treat you as...
I sincerely repent, and I am not a petty person. Today I will tell you in front of everyone, what I did in the past
I can let go of these things, and we can forget about the little grudges we have with your family. If you want to learn how to make the snacks in my hands, you can also learn them, but Sister-in-law Hu, I have to say ugly things first. From now on
If your family comes to my family again or if your family encourages others to cause trouble to my family, I will be very rude!
As for me, my personality is that you are good to me and I am good to everyone! I will not take the initiative to provoke others, and I also do not want others to provoke me. If others insist on provoking me, then I will fight back very rudely and
Attack back!"
After Xiang Lan heard what her sister said about forgiving Little Fatty Ai Can and his family, she immediately turned her head and stared at Xiang Jin, "Sister?!"
Xiang Jin lowered his eyes and glanced sideways at her.
After Xiang Lan received the hint of warning in her sister's eyes, she immediately turned her head away in displeasure, "Humph!"
Hearing her say that she could learn, Hu Yulan was relieved and at the same time very happy. She quickly nodded and promised, "I understand, I understand, don't worry, my family will definitely not cause trouble to your family in the future. If I do, I will definitely not cause trouble to your family again."
It would be too heartless to cause trouble."
Xiang Jin nodded, and then said to everyone, "Let's continue!"
Then everyone hurriedly started the actual operation, and Hu Yulan hurriedly stood up to watch.
When the fat boy Ai Can saw the golden pancakes on the counter that were divided into many small pieces, he couldn't bear to look away. Xiang Lan and Xiang Yao couldn't help but look away after seeing it.
He curled his lips and at the same time let out a heavy snort.
After Xiang Yao saw her, she hurried forward and picked up two pieces from the chopping board, then handed them to Hu Yulan and Ai Can, the fat little mother and her son, "Here, you guys also have a taste of this cake."
Seeing the kind smile on her face, Hu Yulan and her son hurriedly reached out to take it and thanked her. After all, Hu Yulan was an adult and could still eat statues, but the fat little Ai Can was still a child and did not pay attention to etiquette and etiquette.
I ate the piece of cake in three seconds.
"Mom, this cake is delicious and fragrant!" the little fat man said after filling his mouth with the cake before he could swallow it.
When Xiang Lan and Xiang Yao saw him, they couldn't help but "cut it" at him. Xiang Lan also said, "A starving ghost has been reincarnated! It's like he has never eaten pancakes in ten lifetimes!"
Her words were loud enough that they reached the eyes of everyone present. Everyone present laughed. Hu Yulan blushed and felt a little embarrassed. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Ai Can, while glaring at her.
He asked, "Can you eat a little bit too much to avoid embarrassing me?"
When she said this, she didn't forget to look at Xiang Jin's face. She saw that she was sitting on a stool with her eyes down, wondering what she was thinking. She didn't notice them at all, and she felt slightly relieved.
She took a breath, somehow she was afraid of seeing Xiang Jin's disdainful look towards them.
About twenty minutes later, Xiang Jin raised his head and looked at everyone, "Is everything done?"
Everyone said that everything was done, and then Xiang Jin went to check the cakes they made one by one, and then said, "Aunt Osmanthus, your cake is a little burnt."
Aunt Guihua said, "Yes, it was a little late at that time, but it won't happen later."
Xiang Jin nodded, "This is a kind of sauce spread on the baked cake, but there is a kind of fruit cake, which is a kind of cake made by mixing the beaten juice into the paste.
For example, banana juice, applesauce, and a foreign fruit called durian. The fruit cakes made from these fruits are also very delicious.
But since we don’t have that material today, I’ll mention it to you. If you have that material later, you can try it.
Of course, that kind of cake also needs to be baked so that both sides are golden and crispy, so that it tastes better and is delicious. And I can guarantee that this kind of fruit cake will have more market and be used by more people than that kind of sauce cake.
favorite."
Everyone was very happy after hearing this, and some people said that she would go to the town in a few days to buy some fruits to try.
Someone asked Xiang Jin, "Can we use oranges to make it?"
Xiang Jin said, "I've never made this kind of cake. You can try it. Okay, let's make the last cake today. This cake is called Thousand-feuille Cake. Thousand-feuille Cake..."
