Chapter 240 Open another shop
It took a long time since the Yan family's affairs, and Yang slowly recovered and was able to get off the kang and walk around by himself. However, after this incident, Yang's white hair became more and more vicissitudes of life.
Time is slowly coming to autumn, because there is no harvest in this summer harvest. Everyone attaches great importance to the corn harvest in this autumn, and this year I can only rely on this corn to fill my stomach. Now every household has gone to the field to harvest corn, fearing that there will be problems with the already mature corn.
He Kexin's family has no land, so the autumn harvest has nothing to do with them. The two of them continued to open their own snack bar. The business of the snack bar has now stabilized, and the monthly income is stable at about 100 taels of silver.
After thinking about it, He Kexin thought that he should prepare for other businesses. Although this snack bar can make them live better than others now, even if they go to the county town, there will be no problem, but who would still dislike the money for too much money!
It will be easier to deal with with money, so He Kexin is preparing to open a new store. This time she turned her eyes to the hot pot restaurant.
The weather will get colder and colder this time. If you open a hot pot restaurant, the business will definitely be very good! After thinking about it, He Kexin thought he should be ready to open a hot pot restaurant.
She was going to make it for her family to taste it first. If it was really delicious, everyone liked it, she would be confident to open a hotpot restaurant!
He Kexin thought about it and started to act. If there is nothing to do in the snack bar now, she doesn’t need to go there, so she will concentrate on preparing for this hot pot restaurant.
First, she went to the town to buy beef, pork and chicken, as well as potatoes, tofu and cabbage, and she bought all the vegetables she could find.
Yan Haodong went home and saw the vegetables in the yard, and smiled and said: Wife, are you planning to make delicious food? Are you buying so many dishes?
He Kexin looked at him and smiled and said: You will know later. I am going to make a delicacy that you have never eaten before.
Ah? I haven’t eaten anything before? Yan Haodong grabbed his hair and smiled honestly and said, “Wife, what you cook is delicious, and there are so many things I haven’t eaten before.”
He Kexin smiled, poked Yan Haodong's arm and said: You must have never eaten this, and no one can cook it here. Please help me clean all these dishes.
He Kexin asked Yan Haodong to clean up the vegetables, but she herself prepared to stir-fry the hot pot base. Whether this hot pot is delicious or not, the most important thing is the hot pot base!
The base of the hot pot requires butter and a lot of spices. There is no ready-made butter here. He Kexin extracted it himself and bought the spices and soaked them in warm water in advance.
After the butter is melted, add ginger, green onions and garlic. Fry these three seasonings and change color, remove the dried onions and do not. Keep the ginger and garlic.
Add the soaked grass fruit (seeded) bay leaf star anise clove amygdala white coriander seeds �
Add chili and pepper, add rock sugar to the pot, stir-fry slowly in medium heat, and then add fermented glutinous rice noodles. This is He Kexin's secret recipe. It will taste better if you add this.
After stir-frying for an hour, the hot pot base has slowly changed color. After adding white wine, turn off the heat and cover it and simmer. After the hot pot base is fried, add an appropriate amount of salt.
When Yan Haodong was packing vegetables outside, the fragrance of the hot pot base made by He Kexin also spread. He sniffed and said to himself: It smells so good!
After the hot pot base is fryed, wait until it cools down by itself. He Kexin put a bone in a clay pot to make broth, and started to clean up the meat.
Cut the beef, chicken and pork into thin slices, and it feels transparent when you pick it up. Cut the potatoes into slices and soak them in water. The vegetables are broken open without cutting them. After the things are all ready, He Kexin smiled and said: Okay, we can come to have hot pot until the evening.
Yan Haodong smiled and said: My wife is smart!
That's of course.
When it was almost dark, He Kexin started to prepare a hot pot. He put the dining table in the yard, took out his own charcoal basin, added carbon to it, placed the small pot on the charcoal basin, and then put the fried hot pot base after the stock was boiled.
While waiting for the hot pot base soup to boil, Yan Haodong looked carefully and said: Wife, why are the dishes and meat in this hot pot raw? How can you eat it?
He Kexin pointed to the charcoal basin placed on the stone table and said: See if you see, wait until the soup is boiled, put all the dishes in it, and then you can eat it after it is boiled.
Yan Haodong glanced at the charcoal basin with suspicion and said: Is it OK?
Of course it's OK! He Kexin said confidently.
The charcoal basin was placed on the stone table, so the people just prepared around the stone table, and the prepared ingredients were placed on the dining table, and the three of them were preparing to eat hot pot.
It smells so good! I'm going to keep my saliva! A voice came.
Yan Haodong and He Kexin looked at each other and looked at the door in disbelief. They saw a man in big red clothes standing at the door, with a tall figure and outstanding appearance, as beautiful and noble as a banished immortal.
The man had a faint smile on his face. Even if he was in this small mountain village in the countryside, it would not affect his momentum and elegance at all. I really don’t know how to describe him.
But the next second, as soon as this person spoke, the beautiful atmosphere was destroyed. What are you eating? It’s so delicious? It’s the right time for me to come!
He Kexin rolled his eyes secretly, is this a guy? He was obviously a handsome man, but when he opened his mouth, he destroyed his appearance.
Luo Ming, when did you come back? Yan Haodong asked, he was really happy to see Luo Ming!
After he went to the battlefield, although he was going to be a military doctor, it was a battlefield. Every time he thought about it, he would be worried. At this moment, he was of course happy to see him come back safely.
That's right, the person who came was the handsome Luo Ming, who was also a funny and foodie. He sat down without hesitation and looked into the pot while answering, "I'm back a few days ago. After finishing my work, I'll come to see you guys!" Who knew that I was just in time for something delicious, I'm so lucky!
Yan Haodong nodded after hearing this, looked him up and down and said: Is it okay on the battlefield? Are you injured?
Luo Ming waved his hand and said: I'm fine, I'm a doctor, even if I'm injured, I'll be treated by myself. Don't worry, I'm just hungry now. As long as I have a big meal, there will be nothing left.
That's good!
When He Kexin came out, she heard Luo Ming and Yan's active words. She smiled and shook her head, put a pair of bowls and chopsticks in front of Luo Ming. Okay, since she is hungry, eat it quickly! This is my new food, you have never seen it before.
