The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

"Then what else does mother want to prepare for food?" Daya became even more curious.

Daya was looking forward to the new food even before she knew what it was.

"It's a secret!" Lin Zhi didn't say it. It wasn't that she didn't want to tell it, but she wasn't completely sure yet: "You'll know tomorrow."

Daya followed Lin Zhi and asked questions, but was finally sent away by Lin Zhi to work.

She actually wanted Zhou Daniu to make and sell braised sausage.

Bulachang is a Cantonese-style rice noodle roll, famous for its delicate taste and unique production process.

Its appearance is as thin as a cicada's wing and appears translucent.

The production process of braised sausage is relatively complicated.

First, pour the rice paste onto a special cloth and spread it evenly.

Next, put the cloth into a steamer and steam it. During the steaming process, the rice paste will solidify into a thin layer of rice noodle rolls.

After the rice rolls are steamed, you can add various fillings, such as lean meat, fresh shrimp, eggs, etc., and then roll them into a roll.

Finally, with the special sauce, a very delicious braised sausage is ready.

The geographical location here is the same as her modern geographical location, so there is no need to worry about the audience issue.

The reason why Lin Zhi did not decide to sell it was because he did not have all the materials needed for its production.

You need to make the raw materials yourself.

However, whether the original production can be successful is still unknown.

The basic ingredients for braised sausage are glutinous rice flour, cornstarch, and cornstarch.

Sticky rice flour needs to be made from old rice, preferably one year old, which is easy to buy. She has seen cornstarch in grocery stores, and this is also fine.

Only the flour needs to be made by yourself.

Chengfen, also known as Chengmian, Tingfen, and wheat starch, is a gluten-free flour, generally used to make various dim sum such as shrimp dumplings, rice rolls, etc.

First of all, you need to choose high-quality wheat flour. Lin Zhi already has it at home, so he doesn’t have to go out to buy it.

Put the flour into a container, add an appropriate amount of water, and stir to make a dough. Leave the dough for a while to let it rest.

After the dough has rested, add plenty of water and stir evenly to allow the starch in the flour to fully dissolve in the water.

Strain the flour slurry through a strainer or fine cloth to remove impurities and residue. Let the filtered flour slurry sit for a while to allow the starch to settle to the bottom.

Pour out the clear water on the top and leave the sediment at the bottom, which is the clarified starch.

Dry the starch in the sun or in an oven until it is completely dry.

This process will take about two or three days to complete.

In order to obtain clarified flour quickly, Lin Zhi used a pot over low heat to dry part of it, leaving it for Zhou Daniu to practice with tomorrow, and placed the rest in the yard to dry.

After all the busy work, it was dark.

I had planned to give myself two days off to have a good rest, but in the end I didn’t get to rest.

On the second day, Zhou Sheng brought firewood and also sent his father to the Lin family.

Obviously he is a son, but he cares about his father.

Although his old father clearly stated that he could come, Zhou Sheng refused to agree no matter what.

Zhou Daniu felt both relieved and sad when looking at his son.

They arrived earlier than scheduled, and the four Lin family members were still making tofu.

The three little ones were mainly making tofu, while Lin Zhi stood by to help after making breakfast.

So the receptionist had to go up by himself.

"We have work clothes here, but they can only be distributed after you become a formal employee." Lin Zhi walked over and said, "During this period, you have to wear your own clothes. As for what clothes you wear, I have no requirements, I just ask that they must be clean."

Zhou Daniu nodded. He originally thought that Lin Zhi would let him wear better clothes to work, but it turned out not to be the case. Lin Zhi just asked him to wear clean clothes.

Fortunately, he was not asked to wear better clothes, otherwise he would be in trouble.

"We sell food here, so we can't be careless about cleanliness..."

Zhou Daniu listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

He has trained himself for this job for a long time, and he doesn't want to miss out on this hard-earned job because of his carelessness.

Lin Zhi explained some things that needed attention in the catering industry. At this time, the three little ones had just finished making tofu.

Lin Zhi asked Dalang and Erlang to come and teach Zhou Daniu simple arithmetic.

In the morning they also had to prepare braised food for Fu Man Lou. Daya had no free time as she had to prepare the ingredients for making braised sausage, so the arithmetic teaching had to be asked of the two brothers.

Zhou Sheng, who was originally planning to leave, couldn't move his legs after hearing Lin Zhi's words.

He has had a dream of studying since he was a child.

This dream has always been in his heart, and no one knows about it.

It was just because he knew that for people from a family like theirs, studying was something they could only dream about.

Zhou Daniu's eyes lit up.

He can learn new skills, which is a rare opportunity for him who has never been exposed to outside knowledge.

It's just a simple arithmetic problem, which is not difficult for the two brothers.

The two of them taught very quickly, which made it difficult for Zhou Daniu, who had an old brain.

"Do you understand?" Dalang asked.

"I don't understand!" Zhou Daniu answered honestly.

Helplessly, the two of them started teaching again.

"Do you understand this time?" Dalang asked.

"I don't understand!" Zhou Daniu answered honestly.

"How come you don't understand something so simple?" Dalang held his forehead with his hand.

Zhou Daniu felt aggrieved, he just didn’t understand, what could he do?

"Let's try a different approach. Let's let him learn to count first. He won't be able to remember too many numbers." Erlang thought for a moment and said.

Zhou Daniu is obviously different from the three people led by Sun Laidie.

He is so stupid.

Dalang agreed with Erlang's suggestion and directly asked him to recite numbers from one to one hundred.

Even so, after reciting it two or three times, he still stumbled over it.

Zhou Daniu looked at the two brothers with expressionless faces, and the sound of his recitation became quieter and quieter.

The blow made him increasingly less confident in himself.

"Two young masters, I have learned it. Let me teach my father. Don't waste such precious time on my father." At this time Zhou Sheng stood up.

Erlang looked at Zhou Sheng suspiciously and did not agree immediately. Instead, he tested him first.

Start with normal counting, then move on to addition and subtraction within ten.

The two asked and answered questions, and although Zhou Sheng took a little longer to think, his answers were all correct.

"That's right. Then you teach your father, and we will teach you after your father has learned it."

After saying this, Erlang pulled Dalang and ran away.

After this teaching experience, Erlang fully understood the Master’s feeling of being “disappointed with some of his students”.

Zhou Sheng began to teach his father how to count.

Maybe it was because the person teaching him was his own son, after the change of teacher, Zhou Daniu's progress became much faster.

"Why don't you go home first? Don't you still have some firewood to collect?"

After he became proficient, Zhou Daniu began to urge his son to go home.

-------------Two-in-one dividing line-----------

All of the Zhou family’s land was occupied by their so-called relatives and friends. Without land, there was no way to plant trees.

If you don’t plant trees, there will be no trees to cut down, and you can only pick up branches that fall from other people’s trees.

Therefore, Zhou Sheng had to walk a lot every day to collect enough firewood, which took a lot of time.

In addition, he also had to reserve time to deliver firewood to Lin Zhi.

In this way, the half-grown child has no free time throughout the whole day.

Zhou Sheng didn't want to leave yet, he wanted to learn more.

Because the Lin family was not open for business these two days, he only delivered firewood twice, which was enough for him to do. This gave him a lot more free time.

Zhou Daniu didn't know what his son was thinking. He just wanted his son to go home and work so that he would have enough goods to deliver to the employer.

Lin Zhi came over at this time: "Wash your hands, I will teach you how to make braised sausage now."

Without Zhou Daniu, Zhou Sheng had no way to stay and had to leave the Lin family.

There is actually no special technical content in making Bula sausage. As long as you prepare the rice milk properly and control the steaming time, everything else will not be a problem.

Lin Zhi put several kinds of powder into different jars, and then told Zhou Daniu how many spoons of powder and how much water to add to each jar when preparing rice milk.

Simple and easy to remember, and there is no need to worry about the formula being leaked.

"Before we start steaming the rice rolls, we need to make the sauce first." Lin Zhi pointed at the ingredients on the chopping board: "These are the ingredients for the sauce, pork, mushrooms, garlic, dried radish, and soy sauce and water here."

Lin Zhi made way and let Zhou Daniu take over.

"Dice the mushrooms and radish, and mince the other ingredients for later use."

Zhou Daniu picked up the knife without saying a word and started cutting. Soon all the ingredients were cut.

"Pour oil into a hot pan, add garlic and fry until fragrant. Then add minced meat, mushrooms and dried radish and continue frying. When the aroma comes out, add soy sauce and water and bring to a boil."

While waiting for the water to boil, Lin Zhi asked him to scoop a spoonful of powder from the second jar, add water and stir, and then pour the powder sauce into the pot after the sauce in the pot boils.

After boiling again, the sauce for the braised sausage is ready.

After the sauce is ready, you can start making the rice noodle paste. Mix glutinous rice flour, starch, cornstarch and water in a certain proportion and stir well.

"Remember this ratio." Lin Zhi instructed.

Zhou Daniu was afraid that he would not be able to remember it, so he repeated it silently in his mind several times before nodding.

Seeing him nod, Lin Zhi began the next step of teaching.

She asked Zhou Daniu to add water to the steamer and bring it to a boil, then put the special steamer cloth for wrapping sausage on the steamer and brush it with a layer of oil.

Pour the rice noodle paste onto the steamer cloth, spread it evenly, cover the pot, and roughly estimate the time in your mind. Open the lid after steaming for about 2-3 minutes.

After the rice rolls are steamed, use a scraper to scrape them off the steamer cloth, put them on a plate, then add the sauce you just prepared, and a serving of original rice rolls is ready.

Lin Zhi used chopsticks and a bowl to pick up a small piece and tasted it. After confirming that it tasted like the rice rolls she remembered, she let Zhou Daniu use chopsticks to eat the rest.

Zhou Daniu was panic-stricken and didn't know what to do with the plate of rice noodle rolls.

I haven't even started working yet, how come I'm eating already!

"Eat it." Lin Zhi persuaded him: "If you don't try it yourself, how can you know whether it is good or bad?"

Hearing this, Zhou Daniu picked up the chopsticks, took a bite and put it into his mouth to taste it slowly.

As long as it is work-related, he will not be so timid.

They didn't have any timekeeping equipment, so Lin Zhi had to let him practice more.

It only took a few minutes to finish one portion, and after each one was finished, Lin Zhi let him taste it himself.

By the time he had mastered the timing, his stomach was about to burst.

"Even if I don't pass the trial, I've still made money."

Zhou Daniu sighed.

He hadn't had a full meal for many years, and this time he felt it was unreal.

"Not bad, not bad." Lin Zhi came over again: "We have mastered the original flavor of rice noodle rolls, now we can try to make other flavors."

Zhou Daniu subconsciously looked at his stomach when he heard this.

Are there other flavors?

He felt like his stomach couldn't hold any more.

Lin Zhi did not plan to make too many flavors of rice rolls. He only made a few common ones, including egg rice rolls, meat rice rolls, egg and lean meat rice rolls, pork liver rice rolls, and mushroom and lean meat rice rolls.

Lin Zhi has no plans to add dishes like beef sausage rice rolls and shrimp rice rolls to the menu because of the ingredients.

It's time to prepare materials again.

Once you have mastered the basic original flavor rice noodle rolls, you will not make mistakes with other flavors.

Zhou Daniu looked at the freshly baked rice noodle rolls and wanted to eat more, but his stomach was really no longer able to hold more.

At this time, Xiao Fuzi came to bring the braised food and tofu back to the restaurant.

Lin Zhi invited him to taste the freshly baked rice rolls together.

"Is this new food?" Xiao Fuzi asked as he moved to the table.

"Yes, you try it and see if it tastes good. If it tastes good, I plan to sell it at the stall." Lin Zhi poured the sauce on him.

"As long as the food is made by Madam Lin, it can't be bad." Xiao Fuzi said without exaggeration.

He picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of rice roll into his mouth.

Suck it~

The rice noodle roll was sucked into his mouth in one go.

Xiao Fuzi's eyes lit up. He was eating egg and lean meat rice rolls, which were soft in texture. The outer casing had become a little chewy because it had been stored for some time, but the filling inside was tender and smooth.

The lean meat is delicious, and the eggs add a mellow flavor. The combination of the aroma of meat and eggs, wrapped in a special sauce, is a taste he has never tasted before.

"Delicious!" Xiao Fuzi put down his chopsticks and praised: "Having a serving of this in the morning, plus a bowl of white porridge, is more comfortable than eating dry rice."

Xiao Fuzi’s words made Lin Zhi’s heart move. How could she forget about the white porridge?

Add, must add.

"As long as you like it, when you bring meat over next time, you can eat one portion before going shopping."

Xiao Fuzi smiled and did not refuse.

After Xiao Fuzi left, Lin Zhi let the three little ones come out to taste the new food.

The three of them praised the meal highly.

After getting tired of heavy-tasting meat dishes like braised food, the taste of rice rolls is more prominent.

"Daya, go call the nearby shopkeepers over and tell them that they have made some new food and invite everyone to come and taste it for free."

Lin Zhi looked at the remaining rice milk and decided to advertise his new product.

Upon hearing this, Daya ran out immediately.

She has lived on this street for a whole month and is very familiar with the people nearby.

Just notify everyone to come and taste the food for free, there is no need to go to each store.

All you have to do is find the carpenter's wife, the ringleader of gossip, and telling her is the same as telling the whole street.
