I married a playboy at the beginning, and I changed my fate by eating delicious food

Suddenly someone clapped his hands and said, "Hey, I remember now, did you sell sour plum soup during the Dragon Boat Festival?"

Xu Si smiled faintly and nodded.

"That sour plum soup tastes really good. I guess this lemonade is probably good too. But I remember that you sold the sour plum soup for 2 cents, but why is the lemonade 3 cents?"

"This consumes more rock sugar, and it also helps whiten your skin."

"Is it true? Does it really have a whitening effect?"

After hearing Xu Si's answer, some women who were originally not interested were also attracted.

In a word, to men, the main point is that the price is high because a lot of sugar is used, but to women, the main point is the whitening effect.

After all, that woman doesn’t love beauty?

"It helps to some extent, but it's impossible to say that drinking it alone can whiten your skin. After all, even taking medicine can't achieve this effect, right?"

The woman thought about it carefully and said, "That's right. Give me a drink too."

"If you want to whiten your skin, you can't drink this lemon water now. You have to drink it at night."

"Why?"

Xu Si was a little distressed. How could he explain this? He couldn't say that lemon was a light-sensitive food.

After thinking about it, she persuaded from another angle, "How can I explain this? Think about it, if you drink it now, it will work in your body. Once you go out in the sun, won't it be useless?"

"That makes sense. Can I take the cup with me?"

"Okay, the deposit for the cup is one cent, and we'll return it to you next time you return it."

He walked around and sold 5 cups. Seeing this, Lou Yuexin and others said they didn't want to drink anymore, so they took the cups out to sell first and drank the rest if they couldn't sell all.

Xu Si then brought out the washed lemons and syrup and mixed them for the guests on the spot.

"We can choose the sweetness of this one. Two spoonfuls of syrup is considered full sugar, and one spoonful is half sugar. It depends on how many spoonfuls you want."

The first customer who wanted to buy said, "I don't like sweets, just give me half sugar."

"I want one and a half spoonfuls."

“I want all sugar.”

……

Xu Si prepared the food slowly and handed it to the customers. During this process, several women decided to buy it after some hesitation.

The days passed one by one. The weather was hot and fewer people came out to eat. Many shops were affected in business, but Xu Si and his friends were not so bad.

Just selling cold dishes, selling cold noodles, feeding dogs, and selling lemonade.

The yellow dog has now become familiar with Xu Si, and after every meal he would rub against her with gratitude before leaving.

Sometimes when they went home at night, it would run out from somewhere and follow them all the way home, and then reappear near the store the next day.

During this period, a nearby store also started selling cold dishes.

Xu Si didn't care. There were copycats everywhere. Whether he could retain customers depended on his own ability.

However, she still introduced new cold noodles and cold fish to attract a wave of customers.

There is nothing special about cold noodles. It is just cooked noodles, cooled, and then added with side dishes and the sauce used for cold noodles.

It can be eaten alone or added with shredded chicken to make shredded chicken cold noodles.

Everyone has gained experience in eating. They not only talk about the spiciness, but also actively ask if they want spicy and sour, sweet and sour, or spicy, sweet and sour.

When Xu Si first brought up the idea of ​​cold fish, those who had never heard of it thought it was fish to be eaten cold.

After seeing the finished product, I can't help but sigh that this is another food whose name doesn't match the dish.

Cold fish is generally made with starch. However, in ancient times, when productivity was low, even flour was scarce, let alone starch.

So Xu Si chose another approach.

Add flour, cornmeal and starch in turn, in a ratio of about 5:2:1, add a small amount of salt, pour in clean water and stir into a batter, and let it rise for a while.

Cornmeal is naturally not as expensive as flour, as it is a coarse grain.

Cornmeal alone has no gluten and has a rough texture, while using only flour is expensive, so a small amount of cornmeal is just right.

Put water in a pot and bring it to a boil, add alkaline noodles, slowly pour in the batter, stirring while pouring, stir until it is smooth and translucent with big bubbles, then simmer until cooked.

Place a colander on a basin of cold water. The batter flows down through the colander and solidifies into pieces the moment it enters the water, one by one, like little fish.

Serve and add sauce, it is slippery and chewy in the mouth.

“No wonder it’s called cold fish, doesn’t it feel like a fish entering your mouth?” exclaimed a guest after taking a big sip.

Now Xu Si and his shop have become the leader in summer food.

If you mention that you don't want to eat in the summer when you are out, the other person will definitely reply, then go to a restaurant to eat.

On this day, just as the shop opened at noon, Xu Si was serving cold dishes to customers when a group of women rushed into the shop, scaring her and other customers.

"What, what's going on?"

Xu Si asked stutteringly. The fanaticism in their eyes was a little scary.

A plump woman asked excitedly, "Manager Xu, do you have any lemonade?"

"Yes, would you like a drink?"

"Give me two cups." The woman said as she was about to pay.

"I want two cups too!"

"I want four cups!"

……

Xu Si did not take the coin and was even a little confused. She didn't know how someone suddenly asked for her lemonade, and she couldn't take it because she had things in both hands.

The other guests who were pushed aside were a little dissatisfied, "Wait, do you know that first come first served? We are still waiting for the cold dishes, and you are waiting in line behind us."

"Yes, and it's just a glass of lemonade. Is it that urgent?"

The women's excitement gradually subsided, and they stopped pushing and shoving. Then they realized they were hot and moved to the side.

When Shen Anyi saw the women rushing in, she became alert and took a few quick steps to stand behind Xu Si to prevent anyone from hurting her.

After confirming that everything was fine, his tense body finally relaxed.

"Ah Si, let me get the cold dishes, and you go sell the lemonade."

Xu Si handed him the tools in his hand and brought out the ingredients for lemonade from the kitchen.

"Everyone line up, it will be faster this way."

As the women moved, one asked worriedly, "Is it enough for all of us?"

There were more than 30 women in front of him. Xu Si estimated, "It's enough, but each person can only buy 2 cups at most. 4 cups would be enough, and drinking too much lemonade would hurt the stomach."

"That's good."

The one standing in the first place was the fat woman, who was looking at Xu Si’s work with anticipation.

"Sister, why do you suddenly want to drink this?"

The woman was a little shy. "Isn't it just to be whiter? I'm getting married soon, and I want to look better."

"Is that so? This only helps to whiten your skin, but I can't guarantee that it can do the job." Xu Si paused for a moment and looked at her seriously to emphasize.

"I know, but I want to try it. One of my neighbors has been drinking it for almost a month, one cup a day, and now her skin is much whiter."

"That's right. We are all her neighbors. I asked her for a long time before she told me this method."

The women all nodded and rushed over as soon as they found out about it.

It turned out that there was a personal testimony, and Xu Si also had some impression of the person they were talking about.

It is said that her husband seems to be an accountant, so he has enough money and packs a cup every day at noon.

However, since she decided to whiten her skin, in addition to drinking lemon water, she also pays attention to sun protection. Every day at noon, she covers her face tightly.

This two-pronged approach probably worked.
