Chapter 201 Glutinous Rice Candied Haws
For dinner tonight, the chicken was fried to perfection thanks to the hot pot base.
She ate two big bowls of white rice. Although the lard she used was not as fragrant as butter, this base ingredient was delicious even when fried with shoe soles.
They had just finished eating when Zhou Xiaofeng, Lian Yun and others arrived.
"It smells so good. Sister Jiaojiao, did you guys have hot pot tonight?"
"It must be. Xiaoyu can smell it."
Lin Fei and Zhang Lianyu trotted in, followed by a boy who was half a head taller than them.
Lin Jiaojiao had seen the child during the day. Lin Dadan had already told her about it and she thought he was fine.
After all, the three adults in their family are busy, so it would be good for someone to look after the youngest Lin Fei. With someone to help clean the house, he won't be too tired during the day, and it can also provide a home for the poor child.
Well, if you can help one, then that’s a good help.
Father Lin and the others were very curious, but Zhou Xiaofeng quickly introduced it to them.
"This child was bought by Da Dan in the city today. He usually helps to look after Feifei. His name is Wu Yingchun. It's a coincidence that there is a Chun in my family and a Xiaowu in yours, so you can just call him Xiaoying."
Wu Yingchun was also very sensible. She bowed to the people in the room, and then continued to follow Lin Fei and the others to the corner of the kitchen.
Lin Fei took a piece of hay and handed it to him: "Brother Yingchun, come and feed the rabbits."
Lin Jiaojiao and the others also started to take action. It was already dark, so they decided to finish their study early and rest early. After all, there were new products, and they would have to get up earlier than usual tomorrow morning to work in the workshop.
Here, Zhao Yang was washing the dishes, while Xiaowu and Xiaoliu were washing the hawthorn berries in the basket. After they were clean, Lin Yizhi took the lead in removing the cores of the hawthorn berries.
With so many people around, it was done quickly, and it was only the amount for one basket, not a lot.
Lin Yizhi poured the pitted hawthorns into the steamer, covered it with a lid and started steaming. While waiting, they skewered the remaining pitted hawthorns with bamboo sticks.
The hawthorn fruits in the steamer were steamed for about a cup of tea before being taken out and put aside to cool.
After they cooled down, everyone strung them together again. Then Lin Yizhi took a string of pitted hawthorns and placed it on the oil paper. He then folded the oil paper and began to flatten the hawthorns with a flat bowl through the oil paper.
After pressing it, he opened the oil paper, picked up the flat hawthorn string and wrapped it on both sides of the white sesame plate.
The glutinous rice in the pot has been steamed. Zhao Yang has also cleaned up the stove, taken out the glutinous rice, added a small amount of cooked oil and water according to Lin Yizhi's instructions, and picked up a wooden stick to pound the glutinous rice while it is hot.
Zhou Xiaofeng cut a hole in the hawthorn, took out the core, and strung three of them together on short bamboo sticks.
Zhao Yang also pounded the glutinous rice, rolled it into several small balls, and handed them to Zhou Xiaofeng to press into the opened hawthorn.
After seeing that everyone had almost finished skewering the hawthorns, Lian Yun began to boil the sugar liquid according to Lin Yizhi's instructions, until the bubbles in the pot turned from large to small and the color of the sugar turned slightly yellow.
Lin Yizhi picked up a bamboo stick, dipped it in a little sugar liquid and put it in cold water, then picked it up and tasted it.
"It's crunchy. Uncle Zhou and Second Uncle, you guys should try it too."
The two of them also picked up bamboo sticks and imitated Lin Yizhi's previous actions. After tasting the texture and understanding the crispness, they watched him pick up a string of flat hawthorns covered with white sesame seeds, quickly wrapped them in the pot, and then took them out and placed them on the oil paper.
Lin Fei and the others had already been attracted here, especially the festive-looking glutinous rice candied haws coming out of the pot. They must be delicious!
Wu Yingchun stood behind Lin Fei and swallowed his saliva. He had the most delicious meal of his life tonight. The food in the cafeteria was free to eat, and he ate a big bowl full.
Everyone who came with him had a happy smile on their face.
Lin Jiaojiao drooled as she watched. Finally, when the flat hawthorns that were out of the oven had cooled down, she couldn't wait to pick up the candied haws skewers on the plate and share them with everyone.
Everyone had one string. Wu Yingchun looked at the string of flat hawthorns in her hand. She didn't expect that he would have one too. She couldn't help but feel tears in her eyes.
Dad, things seem to be getting better.
After she divided them, she quickly picked up a bunch of flat hawthorns covered with white sesame seeds and took a bite. This was the taste!
The hawthorn is no longer so sour after being cooked, and it tastes so delicious when added with white sesame seeds.
Zhou Xiaofeng said: "This is better than what we had in Qingzhou last time. It's so fragrant with sesame seeds."
"That's expensive, right? I've only eaten one, and it was thanks to Xiaoyu that his mother was willing to buy it for him. A bunch costs twenty cents."
"Then we bought it too expensive. Let's buy it at 25 cents a string, okay, Jiaojie?"
She was eating flat hawthorns and discussing the price with Lin Yiyan and others. When she heard Zhou Xiaofeng's words, she looked up and responded to him.
"Yes, that's twenty-five. We're going to serve flat hawthorns and glutinous rice candied haws. They're the same price, twenty cents a string."
"Isn't that a bit too cheap? This is steamed with sesame and glutinous rice, and the core is removed. It should be at least twenty-five, right?"
Zhou Xiaofeng is already tasting the glutinous rice candied haws. It is so delicious, especially the glutinous rice inside and the sweet and sour outside. The taste is really amazing.
Lin Jiaojiao was also eating glutinous rice. She was too greedy and took a bite of it directly. Now her mouth was full of it and she couldn't speak at all. Lin Yiyan, who was beside her, saw her bulging cheeks and answered for her with a smile.
"It's okay, this price is just right. If it's too expensive, fewer people will buy it, and if it can't be sold, it will be a bigger loss. I wanted to sell it for 15, but it's not good to sell it too cheap. Twenty is just right."
She listened to his words and nodded in agreement. If she wasn't afraid of disrupting the market at that time, she would have wanted to sell it at ten cents a string so that more people would buy it.
After all, this thing is not like bread and pastries that can fill you up, it's just for a try to satisfy your hunger.
She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to sell many skewers even with twenty, so she only asked Zhou Xiaofeng and his team to prepare fifty skewers of each of the two models for the Nanshan City store tomorrow morning.
As for Qiu Xilan's store in Shibei City, she asked Lian Yun to go back to the farm and ask about it. It's good to have a franchise owner there, and she can contact him anytime if she has any questions.
As for the ones in Jiyun City, she had no choice but to take the initiative to order twenty strings for Xu Pingyun. There were a total of forty strings, so they would definitely be sold out, right?
She only ate two strings and stopped. After all, it was not good to eat so much sugar at night. However, Lin Yiyan and Fu Qi ate one more string of original hawthorns without the core removed.
"This sour taste is just right. Oh, I accidentally ate so much candy tonight."
"It's okay, big brother. I'll eat with you."
Fu Qi tried eating hawthorn fruit alone, but it was too sour and not tasty. However, it tasted much better after coating it with sugar. He wanted to eat more after eating it. It was really strange.
Lian Yun felt relieved to see that Fu Qi got along so well with the two brothers.
He had been worried that the young masters from the city were too pampered and what to do if they bullied them. Now it seemed that he was worrying too much, but he found that Fu Qi had grown a lot of weight since the last time he saw him.
As expected, the Lin family’s food is nourishing. He has gained a lot of weight since coming here.
