Chapter 16 Hot and sour powder
In the small town, the woman carrying the pot appeared again!
In a small town like this, gossip spreads the fastest. Many people know that this woman who doesn't seem to be very smart is the head of Qiandingmen, and she threatened to close the restaurant.
Although the passers-by seemed to be doing their own thing, Chen Muxue could feel the glances cast from time to time.
A simple stall with two earthenware pots set up, many small pots are placed, at a glance, fried golden beans, maroon fried peanuts, emerald green onion and chopped coriander, all kinds of colors form a harmonious painting.
A large pot of clear sweet potato vermicelli is soaked in water. Two earthenware pots are gurgling and boiling water, and the other is slowly stewing chicken soup. The delicious smell wafts out for miles.
"What are they doing?" A passerby asked curiously.
Ordinary people are somewhat afraid of cultivators. After all, although the world of cultivating immortals and the imperial court have special people to control cultivators, no one wants to "seek justice" after being injured.
"Hold on, Xiaohu." As Chen Muxue said, she ordered five bowls of noodles, and it was almost time for lunch. Since everyone was hesitant, she settled for her own food and clothing first.
The power of eating and broadcasting is not small!
It is worth mentioning that after eating hot and sour powder with "mysterious plants" a few days ago, Xiaohu stepped into the third level of Qi training, and with the practice of the past few days, he can already have a certain effect on ordinary flames. Nice control too.
Of course, his aura is not enough to support the stall, Chen Muxue just asked him to watch the size of the fire, and the firewood he bought with a "huge sum" of ten renminbi was still used.
Not to mention the newly bought earthenware pot, plus sweet potato powder and other large and small things, she spent a whole tael of silver!
Now Qiandingmen’s deposit is only six taels of cash!
Xiao Hu has spiritual roots, Chen Muxue dare not just let passers-by eat the things made in her iron pot, and the vermicelli in the back are also made separately.
Take a bowl and add garlic water first. This kind of water is made of garlic paste and water. It has a strong garlic fragrance but is not spicy.
Add mature vinegar, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt and a little white sugar that can soften the spicy taste in turn. White pepper and Sichuan pepper powder can bring a suitable spicy flavor to the soup.
Two tablespoons of delicious chicken soup poured in, and immediately, a slightly spicy salty fragrance wafted out!
"Smells so good! Look at her, is she cooking noodles?"
A passer-by touched his growling stomach: "It doesn't matter, I'll go buy a bowl and try it first."
As soon as the cooked vermicelli was poured into the soup bowl, a passer-by came to Chen Muxue: "Girl...uh, door owner, how do you sell this noodle?"
Chen Muxue smiled slightly: "Don't be restrained, this is vermicelli, eight cents a bowl."
"Eight coins!" Someone who listened with pricked ears suddenly exclaimed.
The waiter in a certain store who was secretly observing sneered: "Eight cents, she really dared to ask for a price. Last time, the formula for the radish cost fifty taels. Those who dare to cultivate immortals are really out of this world, right?"
"A bowl of plain noodles...vegetarian vermicelli costs eight cents? Although I have never eaten this kind of vermicelli, it is not as delicious as meat!"
Passers-by couldn't help comparing: "A plate of pork head meat in a restaurant only costs ten yuan!"
The passer-by who came up to ask the price just now can shrink back, but he is relatively thin-skinned, and he has already asked the price, and he is a bit in a dilemma for a while.
Chen Muxue smiled again, poured a small spoonful of chili oil and a large spoonful of meat sauce on the soup, and a strong fresh and spicy taste burst out!
Chili oil is fried with star anise, cinnamon leaves and Chinese prickly ash. White sesame seeds are placed at the bottom of the bowl when it is poured out for later use. This kind of chili oil is extremely spicy no matter what soup it is added to.
Among them, bean paste and soybean paste, Chen Muxue bought them from farmers' homes after walking around the streets and going to the countryside. I have to say that masters are telling the truth among the people.
It’s just the ancient scholars, farmers, commerce and industry. There are not many farmers with business minds. Even if they make something new, they will not think of selling it on a large scale.
A spoonful of meat sauce is spread on the vermicelli, and the aroma of the bright chili oil in the tempting soup makes people's saliva secrete unconsciously.
Passers-by who were a little shy just now, saw such a bold meat sauce, and began to touch their purses.
A bowl of pork noodles in the restaurant costs seven cents, but what about the noodles? If compared with the bowl of vermicelli in front of you, it can only be said to be boiled noodles with salt water and oil, right?
Just as he was about to pay, Chen Muxue put the noodles on the temporary table next to him:
"Come on, Xiao Hua, are you hungry? Eat first."
Xiaohua said thank you softly, but she was not in a hurry to eat, and ran to the side, scooped a spoonful of fried soybeans with a spoon and put them in a bowl, then dug a spoonful of fried soybeans into a large bowl next to her and cut them into pieces. Small pieces of pickled radish.
This time, the pickled radish is added with pickled pepper, which makes it more spicy. Xiaohua mixes the ingredients well before picking up a chopstick of vermicelli.
The crystal clear noodles are wrapped in red oil and rich ingredients, and the soup drips back into the bowl with the red oil.
I don't know who swallowed the sound of saliva.
"That..." The passer-by standing in front of the stall was a little embarrassed. At this moment, he had paid out the money, but he could only hold it tightly in his hand, not wanting others to find out his embarrassment.
I really want to turn around and leave, but...but this is too fragrant!
He is a spicy person, and he has eaten countless noodle soups. Every time he adds chili oil, he always feels that the taste is not so full. There is a sense of separation between soup and oil.
As for this vermicelli, one can tell at a glance that the fragrant chili oil is an important part of the soup, and after smelling it...my mouth will water if I say too much.
want to eat! Really want to eat!
After the next bowl, Chen Muxue saw that he was blushing but refused to leave, so she didn't make things difficult for him and sold it to him.
"These small ingredients can be added once, for free."
Chen Muxue has calculated that if the soup is added with vermicelli, the amount of small ingredients that can be added to a bowl will not be exaggerated. In this way, it will not be a loss if you add it for free.
"Is this pickled radish too?" Passers-by were a little surprised when they saw the pickled radish in the pot.
After all, who hasn’t heard of the pickled radish that threatened to sell fifty taels in the restaurant a few days ago?
Although the restaurant did not buy it, yesterday, the restaurant launched the same type of pickled radish, and I went to join in the fun.
However, what I ate in the restaurant yesterday was not so amazing. The radish was too sour and a bit bitter, and it didn't look as bright as the pot in front of me.
He heard some people in the restaurant talking about it. It was the person who had eaten the girl's pickled radish that day. He said that the pickled radish in the restaurant was a bit of imitation.
I didn’t expect to be able to eat authentic ones today, and it’s free! Thinking of this, the passer-by quickly added a large spoonful of pickled radish to the bowl.
Because of its sweet and sour juice, the spicy taste of pickled peppers is harmoniously mixed together, and the smell will make people appetite!
"How is it? Is it delicious?" A passer-by asked directly at the table.
"Uh huh... huh!" The passers-by who ate their fans slammed their fans without raising their heads, and they had no time to pay attention to them!
The shop waiter in the dark saw the man adding radishes just now, and saw that he was eating so exaggeratedly now, so he quickly wiped his saliva: "Not good! I have to tell the shopkeeper quickly!"
