Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 63: Food truck
The next day, Ningxi asked someone to ask Mei Niang to see if she was resting well, and come over when she rested.
Mei Niang naturally came over immediately: "Ning Dong's house, what do you want me to do? I'll do it right away." She is very knowledgeable, and Ning Xi hasn't even told her to work in the restaurant yet. She followed others to call Dong Ning's house.
Ning Xi smiled and said, "Don't worry, let me ask you, do you know how to cook?"
Mei Niang is a little hesitant, which country woman can't cook, but the big pot meal of the countryman is not the same as the delicate stir-frying dish in the restaurant, she doesn't know that she can cook the meal with her hands Cooking skills are not considered to be able to cook.
Ning Xi also understood after thinking about it: "Well, I say you do it, see if you can do it."
Mei Niang naturally agreed.
Ning Xi told her how to make fried chicken nuggets and the precautions in detail, and then let her stay in the kitchen: "Try to make it yourself, and come to me when you're ready. "At the same time, she told her that anything in the kitchen can be used at will, and that all the ingredients and ingredients that should be used will be handled by herself. Only the marinade used in marinating the chicken was prepared in advance by Ningxi, and She hasn't told anyone about the seasoning ratio.
Ning Xi went out after explaining. The carpenter she had asked for her had already come over and was waiting in the front hall.
Ning Xi took out a blueprint: "Master, I want to make such a kind of car, please help me to see if I can make it." What she wants to make is a kind of fast food car, whichever one she wants to push. There is no need to move things down, just set the stove below, and put a frying pan on top to fry chicken nuggets. Eating too much is easy to get angry, and you must drink some cool drinks to suppress it.
Actually, the ancient craftsmen were really very ingenious. Maybe limited by their knowledge, they couldn't think of many things, but as long as someone mentioned it, they would suddenly realize it, and make it more perfect than you want. something to come.
The master carpenter took back Ningxi's blueprint and told her that within two days, the food truck would be made.
After explaining about the food truck, Ningxi went back to the kitchen to see how Mei Niang was doing. Seeing that she was still thinking hard, she walked over: "What, is there any problem?"
Mei Niang frowned and showed Ning Xi the fried chicken nuggets she had just made: "Look, the fried chicken nuggets are not at all as crispy as you said earlier, but with uneven thickness. It's still very hard, how can it be like this?"
Ning Xi looked at it: "This is not well wrapped when wrapping the flour. Come, I'll make it for you to see." Make sure that the surface of the chicken pieces is fully moist before coating, but it must be drained, otherwise the coating will be uneven. In addition, more flour should be used when coating the flour. Pinch the ends of the chicken pieces with ten fingers and roll them in the same direction. More than five times."
Everyone in Shuangxi Tower knows that Ningxi never hesitates to be watched when he teaches people how to cook. Therefore, everyone who is free at this time gathers and forms a group to listen to Ningxi's explanation in person. , They usually eat this kind of fried chicken nuggets, and they know how to do it.
Ning Xi then put the flour-coated chicken pieces into a pot of juice mixed with fried soy sauce powder and water and rolled it for a while, then took it out and put it in the dry flour, and pressed it lightly with his hands a few times. Finally, take it out, hold the corner of the chicken nugget, and shake it a few times: "Remember, shake it like this at the end, and after frying, a beautiful fish scale pattern will appear on the surface." Mei Niang quickly remembered this. This kind of detail, if others don't say it, she can't think of it even if she thinks about it.
"Fry immediately after wrapping the flour, otherwise it will also affect the formation of scales. Finally, fry until the color becomes a light golden yellow and then pick it up. Don't be greedy. If you pick it up, the color has already changed. If it is deep golden brown, take it out and let it sit for a while, but it will be too hot." After Ning Xi finished speaking, she took out her fried chicken nuggets and showed them to everyone, only to see that it was golden in color, with a layer on the surface that looked like it had exploded. The scales like the fish scales are extremely crunchy and delicious at first glance, and the fragrance is even more intense.
Someone asked: "Ning Dong's house, how did you prepare this marinade? I went back and made it for my kid. It can be fried well on the outside, but the aroma is not as good as what you prepared. !”
Ning Xi smiled mysteriously: "I can't tell you this. Next time you make it, you can come to me and pick up some of the marinade I prepared to use, but this recipe is impossible to say." This recipe It was specially researched by Ningxi in a previous life, and the fragrance is even more attractive than those in the two fast food chains scattered all over the streets and alleys. People who have eaten Ningxi's fried chicken say that her fried chicken is the first one they have ever eaten. Once I want to eat it for the second time, if I don’t eat it for a long time, I even dream of drooling in my dreams.
She's still keeping this recipe ready to come in handy, but it's just a small experiment now.
While Mei Niang was working **** her fried chicken skills, Ning Xiding's fast food truck was also delivered, and she was very satisfied. There were four wheels at the bottom to support it firmly, and there were four wheels on both sides of the car that could be retracted. The push rod, no matter where you want to go, you can easily pull out the push rod to push the car, and the place where the stove is placed is specially wrapped with iron sheets, so as not to accidentally burn the wood, and the oil pan is separated from the place where the drinks are placed. The hot device will not affect the chilling effect of chilled beverages.
In this era, there are no plastic bags, disposable cups and bowls, etc. The packaging of snacks on the street is generally the leaves of various plants, such as bamboo leaves, palm leaves, lotus leaves, etc. Ningxi once curiously I have seen it, and I have also learned a method of rolling up broad bamboo leaves and using it as a cup. Although the bottom of this bamboo leaf cup is pointed and difficult to place, it is still very convenient to hold beverages and drink them. of.
Ningxi asked the carpenter to make a cylinder on the car, which was specially used for this kind of prepared bamboo leaf cup. There was a sharp corner at the bottom, and one can be taken out when you smoke it. In addition, the fried chicken nuggets are Wrapped in lotus leaves, a piece of fried chicken and a cup of thatch, bamboo cane water, the price is ten cents, simple and convenient, even if only one person can be busy.
Ningxi asked people to put all the tools and raw materials on the car, and asked Mei Niang to come and try to pull it. Fortunately, the wheels are very light, and a woman can easily pull many of these things. I have to stop. When the time comes, as long as the bracket is put down to support it, it can firmly stop on the ground and will not shake.
Looking at the sky, it's almost noon. Together with Mei Niang, Ning Xi and Mei Niang pushed the fast food truck with the words "Shuangxi Fried Chicken" on the top to the door of Bailu Academy. Turn on the stove, and heat the pan.
The chicken nuggets have been marinated in advance. Mei Niang has practiced for two days, and her hands and feet have become very proficient. She quickly wraps the flour and frys the chicken nuggets in the oil pan. The rich aroma quickly spreads. Lu It has attracted passers-by to stop.
Someone could not help but ask: "What is this, how do you sell it?"
Mei Niang is taught by Ningxi: "Fried chicken nuggets, ten cents a piece, buy a piece and get a glass of choke root bamboo cane water." She wrapped a piece of fried chicken nuggets in lotus leaves while talking.
The person saw that the portion was not too small. A person with an average appetite could basically be full after eating this portion. Even if he cooks his own meals at home, it is not much less than ten cents per person. I just tasted something new, so I took out my wallet and counted out ten copper plates: "Give me one."
Mei Niang took the copper plate with a smile and handed him a fried chicken nugget: "This is crispy enough to be eaten while it's hot, and it won't be so delicious when it's cold." Then she pulled out a pre-rolled bamboo stick. In the leaf cup, I scooped a spoonful of thatched bamboo cane water and put it in the bamboo leaf cup, which is exactly one cup.
The man took the fried chicken nugget and took a bite, only to hear a "clack", the fried fish scale-like flour spread out in his mouth, and the thick aroma filled his entire mouth, and then he bit deeper, It was soft and tender chicken, and the man nodded after only one bite: "Fragrant, so fragrant, it's worth the ten cents!"
The people next to me were eager to try it, and two more people paid for one each, and they were full of praise after eating.
Seeing this, the rest of the people also donated generously, "I want one." "I also want one."
Mei Niang became a little anxious. She just tried it, and the fried chicken nuggets were almost sold out. All of a sudden, so many people said they wanted to buy it. She panicked and hurried. Don't know what to do.
Ning Xi said to Mei Niang, "Don't worry, take it one step at a time. Don't mess up the steps you should do. I'd rather sell a little less, and don't fry the chicken nuggets." Then he said to the crowd: " Don't worry everyone, this chicken nugget is delicious only if it's freshly fried, everyone come one by one, don't rush to hand over the money, and you will receive one for one later, so that it won't mess up."
The crowd quieted down, and Mei Niang also calmed down and fried chicken nuggets with all her heart. The teacher who taught the lesson was unprepared and whispered quietly: "What does this taste like?"
"I don't know, it smells so good! Could it be that the cafeteria has hired a new cook?"
Mr. sniffed, and he couldn't sit still: "Let's talk about today's class first, the get out of class is over."
Immediately someone rushed out and checked the direction of the wind. No, the smell didn't come from the cafeteria, it seemed like it was at the gate?
More and more students rushed in the direction of the fragrance.
