The rooster crows in the morning, and the dog barks in the sky.

Chen Nian could hide from the chicken, but in the end he still didn't escape the dog. He didn't know whose dog started yelling and screaming, while running, with a clattering sound of chains. I think it was because he saw the rising sun, and it felt like a fragrant big meatball, so he couldn't help it.

After waking up, Chen Nian sat on the bed blankly, scratched his face unconsciously, then sighed, put on his clothes and went down to the bronze mirror to look at his face, tidied up his hair, and then went to wash.

It was early to get up today. After washing up, I walked out of the yard and saw that my cousin also left the yard, and her eyes were a little hazy.

It seems that everyone is the same.

After saying hello, the two of them came to the front hall to start making dim sum. After all the dim sum was steamed in the pot, Chen Nian said and left the dim sum shop.

Hundreds of thousands of families are like Go games, and the twelve streets are like vegetable beds.

The houses in Chang'an City are connected to each other, and the streets are very neat and clean. I am used to seeing the bustling and hurrying streets during the day. Walking on the quiet street early in the morning has a unique artistic conception. Walking on the road paved with stone slabs, I feel particularly comfortable.

First he came to the blacksmith shop. However, although it was a blacksmith shop, he would also use other metals to make tools. The juicer tool that Aged wanted was made of copper. Although copper is rare, it is still possible to find a way to do it, but it may be a bit more troublesome to do.

Although there are also iron, in comparison, Aged still thinks that copper may be more stable.

Juicing tools made by Aged can only be regarded as simple tools in modern times, but in terms of the current era, it is also a progress in tools. The principle is actually similar to the noodles press.

When he arrived, the blacksmith shop here had already opened, and after Chen Nian entered, the shopkeeper of the blacksmith shop saw Chen Nian at a glance, which was their big customer.

So I immediately took the old one to see the juicer they made for the old one.

Moreover, for the sake of demonstration, the shopkeeper of the blacksmith shop specially found a few fruits and threw them in, and then asked a guy to press them down aside. Soon the fruit inside came into contact with the copper slices, and the fruit suddenly made a broken sound.

At the same time, the juice of the fruit in the holes reserved below also slowly flowed out...

Chen Nian looked at the effect, then checked the details, and found that the workmanship was quite good, so he nodded with satisfaction, paid the final payment directly, and asked the blacksmith shop to deliver the juicer to the store.

Then Chen Nian went to the carpenter shop again, where he made some filtration sieves and special wooden barrels.

At that time, Chennian would make two kinds of snacks with flesh and without flesh, so he also needed this more special tool. Of course, in addition, Chennian also asked the carpenter shop to make two foot wash buckets.

After all, shoes in this era may not be as breathable as they did later, so old people have to soak their feet every night.

The ordinary basin is too shallow and it is not comfortable to soak your feet, so Chen Nian ordered two foot wash buckets, one of which is his cousin and the other.

After checking that there was no problem, Chen Nian asked the carpenter to send all these things to the snack shop.

Then he went to a fruit shop alone and bought about ten kilograms of fruits in different categories.

Of course, bargaining is inevitable in the process of buying fruits. This is the sense of ritual whenever Aged buys things. Except for the kind of shop that is priced at a bargain, the rest of Aged will never be bought at the price mentioned by the salesperson. If you can get a discount, you must not pay an extra cent. You must also participate in the places where you can get gifts and lottery draws.

Finally, Agedan bought about seven or eight kinds of fruits that totaled more than 20 kilograms at a very cheap price.

More than 20 kilograms of fruit juice, and then mixing some water should be able to make a lot of snacks.

Although it is heavier, the place where the fruit sells is not far from the snack shop, so Chen Nian simply carried the fruit on his shoulders and carried it back.

After Chen Nian returned, the things bought by the blacksmith shop and the carpenter shop were also sent.

"You bought these in the Xiaonian period before?"

"Yes, this is used for juice extraction, this is used for picking up juice, and these two buckets are used for washing feet, one for me, one for you," Chen Nian introduced.

"Why are there any people who wash their feet?"

"This person always needs to enjoy it. Look at the foot wash bucket so deep, pour hot water in so that it can be comfortable to wash. Also, there are some beads that can be rolled underneath. This thing can massage the soles of the feet and relieve fatigue."

Chen Nian said.

Lu Ke looked in and found that there were indeed some roller balls inside. He put his hands in and slid them gently, and the roller balls also began to roll.

"It's quite fun, I'll try it tonight." Lu Ke seemed very happy about the first gift Chen Nian gave her.

After Lu Ke happily moved the foot wash bucket back to his house, he came out and started cleaning the tools with Chen Nian. These were all for snacks, so they naturally had to be clean and hygienic.

After the tools were cleaned, Aangan simply treated the fruits he bought.

Wash and then cut into pieces.

The oranges and other things are peeled and thrown in, while the oranges are cut off the skin outside the oranges by using the Dubai knife method and then throw the flesh into it.

This juicer can hold about six kilograms of fruit at a time.

So the juice squeezed can be about four or five kilograms.

Place the pre-ordered bucket and sieve below, and the juice squeezed from the juicer first flows onto the filter screen, and then some fruit particles that leak out of the net are left on the sieve. At the bottom, there is a layer of gauze placed on the lower layer. The same is being filtered here, and he needs to completely filter out the pulp.

The purer juice flows into the bottom bucket after layers of filtration.

Then Chen Nian squeezed out the water from the sifted flesh, and finally poured it into another pot with the bucket of juice.

At this time, the old age will start to be prepared.

But the main thing is to add sugar and honey to it.

Add some seasonings, then put them in a small spoon and taste them a little sour. When you get old, add some sugar and honey to it and continue put them in.

After several repeated attempts, Aged finally made the taste he wanted.

Although the taste may be a bit heavy now, it will be diluted after mixing it with glutinous rice flour.

This ratio was summarized by Chen Nian after two attempts, so this time he was very familiar with it.

Gu Zhu

However, every time I make it, I still need to make a certain degree of fine adjustment. After all, the fruits I buy each time cannot be born from the same tree, and it cannot be the same sweetness and sourness.

Since there are more oranges and citrus added to aged, the overall color is orange-yellow, which is also deliberately made by Aged.

After the glutinous rice flour and the juice are fully mixed, Aged will roll the mixed glutinous rice ball to about one centimeter thick with a rolling pin, then put the whole piece into a pot and starts to catch a fire and steam slowly.

"Shopkeeper, what are you steaming in the pot? Why does it smell so fragrant?" After the steam began to slowly emerge, the fruity aroma in the pot gradually overflowed. Many customers who came here to buy snacks couldn't help but ask curiously after smelling it.

"This is a new dim sum developed by my brother. It is called Qianguocake. It is an upgraded version of Baiguocake. It uses about seven or eight kinds of fruits in it, and we will add it in the future."

"Then the price is definitely not cheap, right?"

"It is indeed a little more expensive than other pastries, but because we use more fruits, we can get one penny for every penny."

"That sounds good. How long will it take to make it? If you can't afford it, you can buy two taels and try it home."

"Little New Year, how long will it take to prepare?" Lu Ke turned his head and asked.

"A quarter of an hour left."

"Okay, then I'll go and buy it later."

Later, several guests came to ask, but some people still looked resistant when they heard the price. They were just ordinary people in Chang'an City, and this price was still too expensive for them.

However, Lu Ke told them that if the pastry is not sold out after the hour of You in the evening, the price will be reduced, and the taste will not be much different at that time.

"real?"

"You are also a regular customer here. When did I tell you lies? Besides this snack, other snacks will be sold cheaply, but they may not be left at night. If you want to buy them, you may have to come a little earlier."

"Okay, Manager Lu, then I'll be waiting to come to your place to buy snacks tonight."

After a while, the Qianguocake was ready, and at this time, there were already seven or eight people waiting outside the dim sum shop.

The moment the lid of the pot was opened, the fruit fragrance suddenly filled the air, and the fragrance floated out of the snack shop and came to the street. Some people who were simply passing by couldn't help but be attracted by the smell and looked at it.

I looked at the people lined up here again. Although I didn’t know what everyone was queuing, they still walked over and then lined up behind the line.

"Brother, what are you buying in line?"

"It must be buying snacks. Isn't this a snack shop?"

"I know this is a snack shop, but I didn't see anyone queuing up when I left here before."

"Then I don't know. I'll just queue up and take a look later? At worst, I don't want anything, just don't buy it."

But people lined up and got to the front and knew what everyone was buying.

Some people don’t care about the price and choose to continue queuing, while others know that the price is expensive and they also know about discounts for snacks at night, so they all plan to come over to buy some cheap snacks at night.

Some people didn't plan to buy Qianguocake, but they just queued up in a daze and saw that other pastries were good, so they picked up some.

Because everyone was actively queuing, all the snacks they made this morning were sold out half an hour earlier than before, but after they sold out, there were still people queuing up later. Chen Nian told everyone: "Don't queue up first. If anyone wants to buy snacks, come back in the afternoon. We will make more new snacks then!"

"Don't line up, it's gone!"

"It's really gone!"

"Come in the afternoon, guaranteed to be there in the afternoon!"

Lu Ke has never experienced this kind of scene. Although there were many people buying dim sum shops in the past, why did it be like this? They were shoulder to shoulder and bustling, and they could go far just by queuing.

However, when the crowd gradually dissipated, Chen Nian secretly made a pot of Qianguocake: "Sister, we will give these pastries to neighbors in a while."

"It should be given a gift for them, after all, everyone bowed their heads every day and looked up." Lu Ke nodded in agreement.

"No." But Chen Nian waved his hand.

"Today is the first day of selling Qianguocakes. Everyone is still in a relatively enthusiastic stage, so there is a high probability that we will always queue up at the door of our dim sum shop during this period. People who bought pastries here may go to their shops to take a look, so our business is good and we will bring business to them."

Lu Ke obviously didn't expect this: "Yes, then we have brought them business, why do we still give them pastries?"

“Because we still need them to advertise for us!”

"For a shop to be deeply rooted in people's hearts, in addition to its excellent quality, it also needs to be omnipresent, so that they can see the name of our shop no matter where they are, and that they can look up wherever they go and see how delicious our snacks are."
