The Peasant Gourment Chef - Chapter 32

The next day, Li Hehua and Cao Simei went to sell cakes and brought the little guy with them.

The little guy was neither noisy nor noisy, so he quietly squatted beside the basket and watched Li Hehua sell cakes. Many acquaintances praised Li Hehua: “Your child is really good.”

Li Hehua felt helpless, if she could, she hoped that the little guy would not behave well, or even be naughty.

Since the food stall will open tomorrow, the pastries will also be sold there. Li Hehua has always explained the change of the pastry stall to the customers who buy pastries one by one. By the way, she mentioned the opening of her food stall tomorrow.

Many old customers have expressed that they will definitely come to join us when the time comes.

After selling for about half an hour, Master Gu, who had not seen for a long time, actually came.

Since the last time he brought the old woman who was taking care of the children at home, it has always been the old woman who came to buy cakes. I didn’t expect that he would come by himself today. Li Hehua guessed that today should be a school vacation, so as a master Only have time to go shopping and buy cakes.

Li Hehua greeted him, “Master Gu came to buy cakes in person today?”

Gu Zhijin smiled and nodded, “Exactly, the school is on vacation today, so I happen to be free.”

Li Hehua remembered the double-skin milk that he brought in the basket, and said to Gu Zhijin, “That’s right. I made double-skin milk yesterday for my children, and I also made a bowl for your children. It just so happens that you can take it home with you, Master.” Take out the double skin milk in the basket.

Gu Zhijin had never heard of “double skin milk”, so he guessed that it was the boss’s exclusive food. Every time the boss made the exclusive food before, it was very delicious, even as an adult, he was addicted to eating it. My nephew likes to eat what she makes so much, so this pair of skin milk must be delicious too.

Gu Zhijin took over the double skin milk and thanked him extremely, “Thank you boss, I will trouble you to pack some cakes for me, and I will bring it back together as before.”

Li Hehua nodded, took out the oil paper bag and knelt down skillfully to pack the cakes for him.

At this time, Gu Zhijin noticed the little child squatting beside the basket, and couldn’t help asking: “Boss, is this child your child?”

While packing the cakes, Li Hehua said, “Yes, this is my son, Shulin. He doesn’t like to talk. Master, don’t blame him.”

Gu Zhijin shook his head indifferently, “It doesn’t matter, children’s personalities are always different, and quiet children are rare.”

Li Hehua smiled, glanced at the quiet little guy, touched his little face lightly, the little guy raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes seemed to ask, “Mother, what are you doing?”

Li Hehua smiled even more.

Gu Zhijin laughed as she watched the interaction between mother and son, thinking that this boss must be a very good mother.

“Master Gu, your cakes are ready, you can take them.” Li Hehua packed the cakes and handed them to Gu Zhijin. At the same time, he also told him about the place where the cake stalls were moved, “By the way, Master Gu, there is something else for you. Let me tell you, from tomorrow, my pastry stall will be moved to the corner of Yangliu Lane, and you can just go there and find me if you want to buy pastries in the future.”

Gu Zhijin wondered, “Why did you suddenly move the place so well?”

Li Hehua explained with a smile: “That’s it, I’m going to open a food stall to sell food. It’s at the entrance of the alley over there, so by the way, I will also sell the pastries there.”

As soon as the word “eat food” passed through Gu Zhijin’s ears, his heart was raised, and he was instantly interested. The pastries made by this boss are so delicious, I believe her skills in cooking other food must be extraordinary. Otherwise, his nephew would not eat her pastries every day, but now his nephew wants to eat pastries as food. Well, how can this pastry be worth the meal? Because of this, he was very worried, and even thought in his heart that it would be great if the boss didn’t sell cakes but meals, so that he wouldn’t have to worry about his nephew skipping meals.

I didn’t expect the boss to really sell food.

Gu Zhijin’s smile increased, and he asked with interest about the food stall, “Boss, what kind of food do you sell in this food stall?”

Seeing that he was interested, Li Hehua reported the menus one by one, “My food stall sells a lot of varieties, but all of them can fill the stomach, including fried rice, fried noodles, soup noodles, stir-fried vegetables and dumplings, as well as steamed buns and steamed buns. .”

Gu Zhijin’s eyes had already lit up secretly, thinking that this is good, his little ancestor ate something, and even he wanted to taste the food the boss said, so he said: “The boss’s craftsmanship must be good, Gu must go try it tomorrow.”

Li Hehua smiled, “Okay, then welcome Master Gu to come tomorrow.”

………………………………..

After selling the cakes, Li Hehua first took the little guy to buy the ingredients for the cakes, and after sending them home, he started to prepare for tomorrow’s food stall.

Since she has a lot of things to buy, she definitely can’t buy it with a child alone. After thinking about it, Li Hehua went to Sister Xie’s house and called Sister Xie out to help.

Sister-in-law Xie put down what she was doing without saying a word and went out to buy things with her.

The first thing to buy is flour. The amount of flour will be very large. It is estimated that it will be enough to buy several bags at a time. Li Hehua went directly to the grain and oil store to buy three bags of flour, and then discussed with the grain and oil store owner. Send flour once.

Seeing that Li Hehua wanted so much, the boss readily agreed, and after asking for the address of her home, he said that it would be delivered on time.

The flour problem is solved, and the rest is meat and vegetables. This is not a problem for Sister Xie. She took Li Hehua directly to a familiar stall to buy it. less money.

With the help of Sister Xie, the ingredients were quickly purchased. After returning home, Li Hehua took out an apron for Sister Xie, and the two began to prepare the ingredients for tomorrow.

“Xie sister-in-law, you will make the dumpling stuffing now, and make two kinds, one with leeks and one with pork and leeks. Make a pot of each, and we will make the dumplings later; after that, make some stuffing for the buns. Let’s make steamed buns, one with meat and one with vegetarian stuffing.”

“Okay.” Sister-in-law Xie nodded and sat down to pick vegetables.

Li Hehua brought a wooden basin, poured more than half of the flour into it, poured in an appropriate amount of water, and started to knead the noodles. This is used to make dumpling skins, steamed buns and noodles.

To make buns and steamed buns, you need to wake up. Li Hehua chose to make dumpling skins first, knead the dough into a long strip, then cut them into small pieces, and then roll the small pieces into round dumpling skins with a stick. .

After Li Hehua finished all the dumpling skins, Sister Xie also stomped the stuffing swiftly. Li Hehua brought the stuffing and seasoned it himself to make sure the dumplings tasted delicious.

After the filling was ready, Li Hehua handed over the dumplings to Sister Xie, and she took advantage of this time to make the cakes to be sold tomorrow.

Both of them are quick-witted people, and they work very fast, but the workload is really not small. By the time they are all ready, it is already very late, and everyone else has eaten dinner and is going to bed.

Li Hehua made three bowls of noodles with the noodles just rolled out, “Sister-in-law, it’s been hard work today. Let’s have some noodles tonight. After you finish eating, go home and rest.”

Sister-in-law Xie thought to herself that she had really met a noble family. The work was easy and the wages were high, and she even bought a dinner. She was willing to eat white noodles for dinner. She couldn’t find such a master even with a lantern. She must work hard and strive to let her The lotus girl has been using herself.

At the same time, Li Hehua was also thinking about Mrs. Xie. Through today’s observation, Mrs. Xie’s work is really easy. The dumplings and steamed buns are very good-looking and taste good. It seems that they can be used for a long time and save money. She’s looking for someone else.

………………………………………………

The next morning, after Li Hehua got up, he called the little guy, “Wake up baby~ Mother is going out to set up a stall.”

The little guy opened his eyes sleepily, rubbing his eyes with his little hands in a daze.

Li Hehua took his hand away, took him from the bed into his arms and shook him to help him wake up. After a while, the little guy opened his eyes and looked at her with his arms around Li Hehua’s neck.

Li Hehua patted his little back, “Okay, baby, you have to prepare to open with your mother~”

Li Hehua put on the little guy’s clothes, washed him again, and took him to breakfast when Cao Simei came, followed by Da He and Da Ya, Da He pushing her cart.

“Sister, we brought your cart.”

Dahe pushed the cart into the yard. Li Hehua looked at it for a while, but he was still very satisfied. “It’s done. The cart is here, just in time to transport things to the street.”

Li Hehua and Cao Simei and Dahe Daya successively transported tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, pans and pans, as well as firewood, rice, oil, and salt to the street. When the food stalls were put in place, the market was completely lively.

The newly opened stall is a notable event in this town. Many passers-by stand aside to watch the excitement. Li Hehua hangs the board with the menu written on it at the most prominent place in front of the stall for the onlookers to see. When it was about time, Li Hehua stood at the front of the crowd and introduced to everyone: “Hello everyone, my snack stall is open today. The stall mainly sells fried rice, fried noodles, covered noodles, dumplings, and steamed buns. You can order whatever you want. What, moreover, all guests who dine in our restaurant can get one night of delicious vegetable soup for free, and everyone is welcome to come and taste it.”

The onlookers originally thought that there was another noodle shop like mutton soup and beef soup, but they didn’t expect this food stall to be different from other stalls in the town. They sold so many things, and the food was novel. , and they were chatting with each other.

But there are many people talking, but no one wants to taste it.

Cao Simei and Dahe Daya were anxious when they saw people watching but not eating, and kept looking at Li Hehua.

Li Hehua looked amused and shook his head to signal them not to rush. After all, it’s not lunch time yet. Isn’t it normal for no one to come in for dinner?

Li Hehua simply put the cakes he brought to the vacant seat next to the stall, and said to Simei Cao, “Sister, it’s still early, it’s not time for dinner, don’t worry, you and Daya will sell the cakes first.”

Seeing that Li Hehua was so calm, Cao Simei felt a little relieved, thinking that she could not delay the cake business, so she took Da Ya and started selling cakes.

The pastry business is very good. After it was put out, customers came to buy it one after another. There were also many old customers. When these old customers saw Li Hehua’s snack stall, they came up to chat with Li Hehua and curiously asked about the food of the stall. Annoyed, he patiently introduced the food in the food stall to the guests.

Many old guests said that they would definitely come to try it when it was time for dinner. This time, Cao Simei smiled and finally felt relieved.

Sure enough, when it was time to eat, many old customers sat down at the stall and wanted to try Li Hehua’s snacks.

Li Hehua patted Dahe on the shoulder, “Dahe, hurry up to greet the guests, introduce the menu to the guests, and then ask the guests what they want to eat. Come and tell me after you say hello.”

It was the first time for Da He to be a junior. He was a little nervous, but he was still smart. Hearing this, he immediately greeted the guests as Li Hehua said.

While Dahe was asking the guests what to eat, Li Hehua filled a few bowls of vegetable soup with the soup bowl he bought, which was to be given to the guests.

Dahe asked the guests what they were eating, and then trotted back and said to Li Hehua, “Aunt Lotus, I want a bowl of vegetarian fried rice, a bowl of vegetarian fried noodles, and two bowls of dumplings, 15 pieces each, a bowl of vegetarian food and a bowl of meat. .”

Li Hehua nodded, “Okay, I see. Now you bring these bowls of soup to the guests and tell them that it is provided by our stall for free, so be careful not to burn them when you serve them.”

Dahe let out a “hey” and turned around to bring the soup to the guests with enthusiasm.

Li Hehua poured oil into the pot and started cooking.

The rice for fried rice was cooked last night, and now it has cooled down. When making it, you just need to pour it into the pot and fry it for a while. Coupled with Li Hehua’s superb speed, the rice will be ready in just a moment.

Li Hehua deftly put the fried rice in the pot into a plate, put a spoon on it and put it on the table next to it. Suddenly, a tempting aroma emanated, and people in a radius of several hundred meters couldn’t help but swell up. Nose, the onlookers even looked straight.

“This meal is cooked so fast, I thought I would just pick it up a few times, but I didn’t expect it to be so delicious~”

“This meal looks really good. It looks delicious. I’ll go back and try it later.”

“This boss’s craftsmanship is very good. After a few swipes in the pot, it makes it so fragrant that I want to taste it.”

“Yeah yeah, I really want to try it…”

The discussion of the people around floated into Li Hehua’s ears, and the corners of Li Hehua’s mouth were raised, and he continued the next plate of food in his hand.

Seeing that the first egg fried rice was ready, Dahe came over and took the plate away and brought it to the first customer who ordered, “Guest officer, this is your fried rice. Take it easy.”

The first guest had been staring at Li Hehua’s movements just now. The scent had already drifted into his nose, and his heart was itchy. He didn’t feel hungry when he came, but now he seems to be hungry. , at this moment, when I saw my egg fried rice being served, I picked up the spoon and scooped a spoon into my mouth, opened my eyes instantly, swallowed the rice in my mouth after a while, and quickly scooped it up The second spoon is shoved into the mouth.

The guests who were waiting for the meal were all staring at him at the moment, expecting his reaction. Seeing his behavior like this, there is no reason to not understand, it must be very delicious, and a large plate of rice is almost bottomed out without seeing this small moment.

So everyone expects their share to be served quickly.

Li Hehua’s actions were very fast, but he finished all the customers’ orders in a short time. Seeing the customers at the stall eating hard, his heart was full of joy, because the first step of this food stall is a step forward. out.

At this moment, a familiar figure slowly approached the food stall, it was Master Gu.

Li Hehua greeted him with a smile, “Is Master Gu here for dinner?”

Gu Zhijin smiled and nodded, “Yes, I smelled the fragrance on your stall just now from all the way, and I was tempted by the fragrance and came here involuntarily.”

Li Hehua was amused by Gu Zhijin’s slightly complimenting words, and said, “Then Master Gu, you should have a good taste. Hurry up and take a seat to see what you want to eat.”

Gu Zhijin was really attracted by the fragrance, and the greedy worms in his stomach were also hooked out. Hearing that, he looked at the menu carefully and said, “The boss, make me a beef fried noodles. Come on, then give me another bowl of meat dumplings, and I will take them when I want to leave and feed them to the children at home.”

Li Hehua nodded with a smile, “Okay, no problem, you sit down first, I’ll be fine right away.”

Li Hehua was pouring oil into the pot while talking to the small pendant beside his leg.

“Baby, are you hungry? It’s time for dinner. You see that the other uncles and uncles have eaten, so you should eat too. Mother will cook something for you and sit and eat, okay?”

The little guy has been sticking to her legs since he set up the stall in the morning. He asked him to sit on the table and rest. He just grabbed her trouser legs and watched her cook. I don’t know where he got so much patience. , watching for so long to cook is not boring, only when she looks down at him will he move his eyes and look up at her, which really makes her love so much.

But the little guy is still young, he can’t stand like this all the time, and when it’s meal time, it’s okay for adults to eat late, and children can’t be hungry. Li Hehua wanted to coax the little guy to sit and eat, but every time he coaxed him to go to the table to eat, he would hug her leg tightly. The meaning of refusal was self-evident, and Li Hehua was very helpless. asked again.

But this time, after her questioning, the little guy didn’t hug her leg as tightly as before.

Li Hehua was surprised. He lowered his head to look at the little guy beside his legs, and found that the little guy was staring at the diagonally opposite direction, not knowing what he was looking at.

Li Hehua was strange. Looking at the little guy’s line of sight, he saw a tall figure quietly standing in a corner not far away, which was well differentiated from the people around him.

It is Zhang Tieshan.

Li Hehua was shocked, but he didn’t expect Zhang Tieshan to come here.

What is he doing here?

But on second thought, it’s not surprising. Shulin is staying by her side now, Zhang Tieshan must be worried about Shulin, so let’s take a look and feel relieved.

Li Hehua didn’t want to pay attention to him at first, but he thought of the little guy who didn’t eat. If Zhang Tieshan took him to dinner, the little guy would be willing, right? After all, the little guy still likes his father very much.

Why don’t you call Zhang Tieshan over and let him coax the little guy to eat.

Li Hehua quickly finished Gu Zhijin’s beef fried noodles, and after serving it to Gu Zhijin in the big river, he wiped his hands on the apron, and then picked up the little guy and went to Zhang Tieshan.

Seeing her coming, Zhang Tieshan showed no expression, only looked at her and the little guy quietly.

Li Hehua didn’t expect Zhang Tieshan to take the initiative to speak, so he had to be the first to say hello, “That…you’re here?”

After saying this, Li Hehua regretted it. Why did she start with this, as if she was greeting her on purpose, Zhang Tieshan hated her, and it was too late, where would she be talking to her, she was really out of her mind.

Li Hehua was about to say something again to resolve the embarrassment, but Zhang Tieshan unexpectedly said “um”, not knowing what he was umming.

Li Hehua blinked, “Oh”, and didn’t know what else to say, he simply said to him: “You came to see Shulin, right? Then you go to the stall and sit down, just take Shulin to lunch. , he hasn’t eaten yet, I’m busy cooking and don’t have time to take him to eat, and he doesn’t want to eat by himself, he will be willing if you go with him.”

Zhang Tieshan glanced at Li Hehua, did not refuse, and hugged the little guy from her arms.

The little guy gave a rare face, and stayed in Zhang Tieshan’s arms without moving.

Li Hehua breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly led Zhang Tieshan back to the stall, letting him sit on an empty table, “Wait a while, I’ll give you and Shulin some dumplings to eat.”

Zhang Tieshan didn’t say anything, just nodded.

Li Hehua’s original intention was to let Shulin eat, but Zhang Tieshan, the father, couldn’t watch his son eat. He must not have lunch, so let them eat together. She just ordered more dumplings. thing.
