Chapter 129 Initial Success
The man felt the spicy meat in his mouth and then spoke, "It's quite good, you guys should try it too."
He handed the jar in his hand to the person who was speaking, and he picked up the others and tasted them one by one.
The other men were already fighting for the last bit of sauce left in the jar. Daxiong also grabbed a jar and dipped it clean with fried dough sticks. In one word, it was delicious.
"Brother, let's buy some."
"That's right, life was so hard before. If I had these, I could eat 5 steamed buns."
The leading man pressed his hand, signaling them to be quiet, then turned to ask Xu Si, "How do we decide this?"
Xu Si repeated the same argument again.
"Okay, I'll have a jar of each of these sauces."
"Okay, but you need to wait here for a while. My companion will be here soon. Let's sign the order. You can rest assured, right?"
It had been snowing outside for quite a while, and she figured that other people would come over by now.
When she was a cow or a horse, she was not affected by wind or snow. Now that she has become a normal person, of course she knows to go home when it snows.
The man was not in a hurry. "Okay, you just said that other people also ordered this sauce. Are you selling sauce?"
Xu Si smiled and said, "No, we run a restaurant, and selling sauce is just another business we run on the side."
"Do you run a restaurant? What's your name? The sauce tastes good, so I'm sure your cooking is great too." The man saw that she was looking out anxiously, so he started chatting with her.
"One is called a restaurant, which mainly sells food, and the other is called Mingyang Sihai, which sells lamb rib hotpot. Both are next to the county government office, so they are easy to find. Welcome everyone to come and taste them."
In just a short while, Uncle Yang and his team had already served food several times. It was estimated that each person had 3 bowls of tofu pudding and 5 fried dough sticks.
With such a good appetite, if I went to their store, I would surely be able to generate a lot of income for them.
"Mutton spine hotpot?" The man was somewhat interested in this food. They had traveled far and wide and had eaten many new dishes. There were hotpots in the capital, but there was no mutton spine hotpot.
"It's the sheep spine. Eat the meat first, then the vegetables."
"Once we have settled down our accommodation, we will definitely go and show our support."
"It's easy to talk about."
"A Si?" As soon as Lou Yuexin entered the room, she saw a group of fierce-looking people sitting next to Xu Si. If she hadn't seen them having a cheerful conversation, she would have rushed up to them.
Xu Si stood up in surprise and waved to several people.
"These are my companions. These brothers are merchants. They just made an agreement with me. Shen Yanchen, please register them."
At this time they also knew the man's name, Zhou Jie, which did not look like his image at all.
By the time the six people were on their way back, it was already snowing heavily.
As soon as they entered the hot pot restaurant, An Yu, Xiao Yu and others helped to sweep the snow off them.
"The kitchen has prepared ginger soup. Master Xu, please go down and have some."
An Yu thought about this and cooked it in advance when it first started snowing.
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Is there anything else going on in the store during this period?"
"No, it's just that there are many more customers today than usual."
They didn't stop the whole morning. The dipping sauce had to be refilled every now and then, and they were also very busy with some dishes that needed to be freshly cut.
After drinking the ginger soup and relaxing, Xu Si and the others began to discuss the business they had obtained.
"We have five orders for a total of 5 jars of sauce." Lou Yuexin took out their order list.
She never thought it was so difficult to find customers, and she and Shen Anyi even encountered a weird one.
After tasting the sauce, he didn't say whether to buy it or not, but said hesitantly that he wanted to try it again.
Then he decided to try it again. After that, he still didn't make a decision and said he needed to think about it again. He also asked them to keep the sauce while he thought about it slowly.
She was so angry that she immediately put the sauce away and decided not to sell it to him. The other party even said that they were not sincere.
Su Jinyue also counted her own, "We have 8 orders, a total of 20 cans."
"Including the merchants, we have 8 orders, a total of 29 cans."
"Speaking of which, Ah Si, you are really brave. You even got an order during your break." Lou Yuexin admired him very much.
"Oh, I just happened to catch up. I can't let this opportunity go."
Not to mention trying to attract business even when they are resting, just look at those who sell houses. They can still sell a few houses when they are sick. That’s really amazing.
"With so many jars of sauce, it will be hard work again. Fortunately, they are not delivered all at once."
Lou Yuexin suggested, "I think we need to hire some more people. We can help Ah Si make the sauce, and we also need someone to make the hot pot meatballs."
"It is necessary to recruit people, but it is not something that can be found immediately. If it really doesn't work, we can limit the quantity of hot pot meatballs." Xu Si thought about it and agreed with this idea. It was really tiring to stay around the stove every day.
She shook her head. "Okay, okay, let's not talk about these things for now. Let's eat something delicious to celebrate our initial success."
"What do you want to eat?" Qi Ning, who had been quietly staying beside Su Jinyue, raised his head and asked.
"Goose stewed in an iron pot." Xu Si said word by word.
When she was shopping for ingredients in the morning, she asked Zhang Shan to buy a goose. When she went to the kitchen to drink ginger soup, she found that An Yu had already processed it, chopped it into small pieces and soaked it in clean water.
While everyone else was busy with their own things, she took out the goose meat and drained it. The yellow skin and red meat showed that it was obviously domestically raised.
Heat the pan with cold oil, add onion, ginger and garlic, stir-fry until fragrant, then add the goose meat into the pan and stir-fry continuously over high heat to fry out the fat in the goose skin.
Add a small amount of star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, angelica and dried chili peppers. After the goose oil is fried out, add sugar and pepper powder. Then put some white wine on the edge of the pot, add dark soy sauce for color, add some salt, add enough water at one time, cover and simmer.
"If you're hungry, eat something else first. This will take a long time."
"It's okay, we're not that hungry." Others said.
They have eaten lamb ribs many times, but they have never eaten this goose, so they might as well save their stomachs for the new food.
After the goose meat has been stewed for 40 minutes, place a circle of corn tortillas on the edge of the pot, add the chopped potatoes, and stew for another 20 minutes.
Finally, add vermicelli and simmer for 10 minutes.
When it is done, the soup is thick and bright red in color, the goose meat is fragrant, and it is even more beautiful when sprinkled with chopped green onions.
Xu Si called out, "Okay, everyone come and eat, I won't fish it out, so I don't have to wash more basins."
"It's okay, it's not a big deal," Miao Hong said hurriedly.
The host had good intentions, but this was his own responsibility, and the water used for washing was now warm.
Before, she always used cold water when doing laundry, which was icy cold and her hands got frostbite after a winter.
If possible, she could work here forever.
In the end, everyone ate around the pot, so that it felt like eating something stewed in an iron pot.
Xu Si loves the vermicelli in it the most. It has absorbed all the soup and expanded a lot. It tastes even better when some vinegar is added.
Goose meat and chicken taste different. It turns out that there is a reason why they are expensive.
Potato Head Qinghuan ate several pieces in a row and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
