I bring my game account back to ancient times to do business

Chapter 17 Wontons

"I'm back."

Qiao Yun pushed open the courtyard door.

When Xue Mei Niang heard the noise, she walked out and stared straight at the oil paper bag in her hand.

Seeing this, Qiao Yun chuckled, picked up the oil paper bag and weighed it: "We have something delicious for lunch today! I bought the gourd chicken and sweet snow from Ding Shi Ji. I don't know if they suit your taste."

Xue Mei Niang licked her lips and said nothing, but the light in her eyes shone like the North Star.

Qiao Yun naturally caught her little expression in her eyes.

I couldn't help but smile knowingly in my heart.

Although he is usually cold and cold, he occasionally shows these cute looks.

Moreover, the beautiful sister is completely unaware of her cuteness.

Qiao Yun opened the kitchen door and said, "Go clean the table and prepare for dinner."

While calling Lu Zheqiu in his heart to prepare two side dishes, he came to the stove and placed the oil paper bag in his hand on the table.

Cutting the rope wrapped in oil paper, Qiao Yun placed the still-warm gourd chicken on the cutting board and disassembled them into bite-sized pieces.

As the golden and shiny skin of the chicken is torn open, the chicken soaked in sauce during the steaming process bursts out with an extremely attractive aroma.

The heat of this chicken dish is really good, the meat is crispy and can be taken off the bones easily. Qiao Yun can tear them apart and put them on the plate with almost no effort.

What a chicken!

Qiao Yun couldn't help but secretly eat a small piece of chicken leg.

So delicious!

The chef in this restaurant is really good!

This further strengthened Qiao Yun's determination to cooperate with this restaurant.

There are hundreds of recipes in her game, ranging from the eight major cuisines to folk snacks, including the preparation of various sauces and seasonings.

It would be good to open her own restaurant, but Qiao Yun, who has experienced the busy situation of going to a restaurant, no longer thinks about those empty thoughts.

Running a store by yourself is exhausting!

It's better to cooperate with other restaurants, make the recipe yourself, and others will pay a share.

It’s better to just lie down and make money!

Soon, the nail cap of the ring finger of her left hand became hot. Qiao Yun took a look and saw that it was Lu Zheqiu who had brought a plate of cucumbers and a plate of cold kelp shreds.

Taking them out and putting them on a plate, Qiao Yun stared at the plate of kelp shreds.

The shredded kelp mixed with balsamic vinegar and red oil exudes a sour and refreshing smell, which is very appetizing as soon as you smell it.

This is it!

What is red oil made of?

chili!

There is no chili pepper in the dynasty she lives in now!

The spiciness used by people here when cooking also relies on cornel, ginger, mustard and other substances.

There are also peppers brought as tribute from small Southeast Asian countries such as Lannathai (ancient Thailand), Annam, Srivijaya, and Chenla.

However, pepper was a tribute, so it was very expensive. Apart from the Baiyue region, which had a similar climate to Southeast Asia, pepper was only available in Chang'an and Luoyang.

Moreover, whether it is cornel, ginger, mustard, or pepper, the spiciness is not that extreme, and in terms of cooking, it is not as versatile as the Capsicum genus.

Qiao Yun planned to wait a few days, grind some chili noodles to make something to eat, and try her luck in a restaurant.

I hope this restaurant won't be like Chang'an's Return of Spring, where people look at people through their nostrils just because their business is big.

After putting away the food, Qiao Yun returned to the main room with the tray.

Xue Mei Niang had already sat at the table and was waiting obediently.

The table was wiped spotless, and the rags were set out by the stove to dry.

I can't believe that this beautiful sister is so skilled at housework.

Placing the tray on the table, Qiao Yun sat down opposite Xue Mei Niang.

"Eat it~ This restaurant makes this gourd chicken amazing, try it and see if it's so delicious."

Xue Meiniang, who had not had a serious meal of meat and oil for half a month, was already greedy for this fat and oily chicken.

Pick up a piece of chicken, dip it in the pepper and salt on the side, and put it in your mouth.

Immediately afterwards, her movements stopped.

Although she didn't say a word to express how delicious it was, she took down her chopsticks a little faster.

Qiao Yun smiled.

****

Since she had nothing to do during the day, Qiao Yun set up a wonton shop at noon.

Wontons are quick and convenient. Wrap them in advance and freeze them. Just cook a bowl when you want to eat them.

She is too busy with anything else.

Before opening the store, she went to the county to find a wonton stall and try it.

These wontons are somewhat similar to the wontons from Shaxian snacks, with lump-sized meat fillings, as if you just dipped your chopsticks in to get a taste!

I don’t know what the soup base is made of. It’s fragrant and not greasy. There are some oil beads floating in the bowl. It must be a spoonful of lard in a large pot.

This wonton is ten cents a bowl.

Most wonton shops have this price.

Her wontons are large wontons stuffed with meat, with thin skin and plenty of filling, and come in a bowl of ten. The wonton soup is also fresh and delicious. She likes to add mustard shreds and pepper to the wonton soup.

Not to mention how comfortable it is to have a bowl of it warm in the cold winter months.

Pepper and meat were both expensive. In order not to appear to be squeezing out her peers, Qiao Yun priced each bowl of wontons at twenty cents per bowl.

In the beginning, there was really no business.

It's not because the price is too expensive, although the price can indeed scare away many people.

But no one has come to ask the price yet!

The men who go to work at the dock are extremely frugal, and spending five or six cents a day on breakfast is the limit.

Those people had brought their own dry food such as pancakes, so they just had to mix it with miso at noon.

If we let them eat in a restaurant outside at noon, wouldn't it mean that they would be chased by the mother-in-law holding a rolling pin and roaring like a lion from Hedong?

Therefore, for several days, there was no one at Qiao Yun's wonton shop.

Such a setback is indeed a bit unexpected.

However, Qiao Yun has a strong ability to withstand pressure and she did not lose heart.

Her wontons are also half-finished products brought from the game.

But it's different from selling steamed buns in the morning, because the kitchen is at the back, so there's no need to make wontons ready to show off. Her half-finished wontons are all in the game package.

On a cold day, the raw wontons have been frozen hard outside before being put in, so you don’t have to worry about them getting spoiled if you leave them in the package for any length of time.

If a customer came to the door, she would go back and cook a bowl and bring it out.

It was precisely because this business had no capital that she was not discouraged.

Otherwise, she wouldn't want to waste charcoal fire and food ingredients in broad daylight.

Qiao Yun was bored behind the counter. In order to kill time, she started to needle and thread again to review her Shu embroidery skills.

It is said that the best embroidery is worth thousands of gold, and she also wanted to see how much her own skills were worth at this time.

The days are approaching the New Year's Eve day by day, and the shops on the street are closing one after another.

Snowdrops were falling in the sky.

Speaking of which, it has been gloomy these past few days. Thick dark clouds have been hanging over Quwo County for an unknown period of time. Today it is snowing.

Qiao Yun moved a stool and sat in front of the store to watch the snow. The snow had already fallen in a thin layer, covering the gray county town with a layer of white gauze quilt.

Although every house has a red sticker in front of its door, the streets seem to be getting deserted before you know it.

It's nothing like the previous life.

At that time, from the twelfth lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the shops on both sides of the city were still busy.

Some restaurants never close and can even serve several New Year's Eve dinners on New Year's Eve.

It was different in ancient times.

The customs here are still very traditional.

I'm afraid it won't be until New Year's Eve or New Year's Day that the street will become lively again.

Qiao Yun was also a little hesitant, why not close the store first?

It's time to relax for yourself.

Just as she was thinking this, Qiao Yun suddenly came back to her senses when several figures came into view.

They were four scholar-looking people, each holding an umbrella. They were taller and shorter. Some looked fifteen or sixteen years old, and some were already twenty.

"Little sister, is your restaurant a restaurant?"

The tall young man lowered his head and looked down at Qiao Yun.

There are guests here!

Qiao Yun quickly stood up, wiped her hands on her apron, and greeted with a smile: "Our store specializes in wontons, come on, come on, the guests, you guys, went out in the snow and wind to warm yourself up with a bowl of hot wontons?"

Hearing this, the tall scholar turned around and asked his classmates for their opinions.

"Do you want to eat here?"

"There are no other stores, Ding Shi Ji is closed."

"Let's just go here. It's easy to find a shop. It doesn't matter what they sell, as long as it can eat. I'm very hungry."

The young boy who was the shortest among the four covered his stomach in an exaggerated manner.

"Fine."

Several people walked into the store and found a place to sit down.

"How much does a bowl of your wontons cost?"

Qiao Yun enthusiastically recommended: "Twenty yuan a bowl! Good quality and low price, suitable for all ages!"

Please give me a monthly pass, please add it to your collection, please give me a recommendation vote, okay (′3｀)
