Chapter 130 When you have a son-in-law, you forget your daughter! Make almond tofu!(1/2)
Grocery cart?
Lin Xu saw the small box of Wuling goods parked at the door of the store, wiped his hands and walked out curiously.
"Master called and told me to get a grocery cart for me. I'll go out and have a look."
Upon hearing this, Shen Guofu also followed.
Come outside.
A young man immediately jumped down from the box of goods. He looked at Lin Xu and asked:
"Is it Mr. Lin Xu?"
Lin Xu nodded.
"I am from Fengxing Car Rental Co., Ltd. One of your elders entrusted us to rent a small box truck. Now the car has been delivered. As the user, you need to sign your name on this rental agreement."
Car rental agreement?
Lin Xu took it and looked through it.
The agreement is very simple. It stipulates that during the rental period, the vehicle shall not be sublet, overloaded, speeded, intentionally damaged, etc.
Shen Guofu came over and took a look:
"Why didn't you mention the price? Is this free rent?"
The guy from the car rental company said:
"The rental fee is paid by Mr. Lin's elder. Mr. Lin can just use it. Our boss also specifically explained that if one day the car feels difficult to drive, it can be replaced with a new one for free."
Tsk...
Is this so-called popular car rental company owned by Aunt Leopard?
She is probably the only one who would be so spoiled by her master.
Lin Xu quickly signed his name, then looked at the car and asked about the usage techniques of the cargo box refrigeration function, etc.
After everything is figured out.
The guy from the car rental company took a taxi back.
Lin Xu, on the other hand, went back to the store and continued working.
After having a grocery cart, grocery shopping will be much more convenient.
But I still have to find a way to buy a car of my own.
It's a pity that Lin Xu is not qualified for the lottery now.
Otherwise, if you hold on to Dundun and draw numbers.
Definitely get it right the first time!
Half an hour later.
Breakfast has been prepared in the store.
There are lard dumplings that Han Shuzhen is more curious about, sugar triangles that Shen Jiayue likes, and preserved egg and lean meat porridge that Shen Guofu likes.
“It’s so delicious!”
Han Shuzhen, who was originally resistant to fatty meat, now not only ate lard dumplings, but also imitated her daughter, scooping some chili oil with a spoon and pouring it into the buns.
Take a bite.
The spicy flavors are intertwined.
Not to mention how delicious it is.
Eating this delicious steamed bun, Han Shuzhen looked at Lin Xu, who was busy in the kitchen after finishing the meal, with a little more pain in her eyes:
"Xiao Xu, what size do you wear? I'm going to have a rest in the afternoon and plan to go to China World Trade Center with your Uncle Shen to buy some clothes for you."
Student Shen, who was nibbling on the candy triangle, suddenly became interested.
Buying clothes?
"Do you have mine?"
Han Shuzhen originally wanted to ask you to join in the fun.
But thinking about his son-in-law here, he said:
"Let's take a look and buy you one or two if there are any suitable ones."
Hoho!
I have new clothes to wear!
Lin Xu originally didn't want to go to such trouble, but Han Shuzhen insisted on buying clothes because she had eaten breakfast in the store, so she revealed the code of her clothes.
After the three members of the Shen family have eaten and drank enough, they go to work.
Lin Xu felt that the clothes bought by others were inappropriate, and her mother-in-law would definitely not want them if she gave her money, so she just made some desserts to cool down the heat.
It can be regarded as a thank you to my mother-in-law for buying the clothes.
And the only dessert he can make... is the almond tofu he won in the lottery last night.
Well, let’s do this.
Just to see how far mom is from perfect practice.
Almond tofu is a popular traditional dessert snack in various places. It is made of southern almonds, milk, sugar and agar. Because it is simple to make, has a delicate taste and can cool down the body, it is a very popular dessert in summer.
Lin Xu went to the supermarket next door and weighed some southern almonds, and bought milk and agar.
After finishing the shopping, I went back to the store and started preparing.
Pour almonds and agar into basins respectively, wash them twice first, and then soak them in water.
Agar is a food thickener extracted from seaweed. It is widely used in various food processing and dessert making, both in Chinese and Western food.
Of course, in the traditional way of making almond tofu, agar is not used, but cornstarch is used to make it.
However, the almond tofu made from starch does not taste as good as agar-agar, and the appearance is not as clear as that made from agar-agar, so starch is rarely used nowadays.
Basically all have been replaced by agar.
Except for starch.
The traditional method of grinding almonds using stone mills has also been improved into wall breaking machines and cooking machines.
Technology has advanced.
Food recipes must also keep pace with the times and cannot blindly follow ancient recipes.
While he was busy, Chezi came over and asked curiously:
"Why are you soaking so many almonds, boss?"
"Make some almond tofu."
Niu Chuang, who was cutting meat next to him, smiled and said:
"This is good. It tastes very delicious when topped with some osmanthus honey. However, the quality of osmanthus honey nowadays is getting worse and worse. It tastes full of sugar and doesn't have much of the aroma of osmanthus at all."
When he said this, Lin Xu started to think about it.
Although the dessert of almond tofu is simple to make, it cannot be eaten without osmanthus honey.
Delicious osmanthus honey can make almond tofu more delicious.
But low-quality osmanthus honey can also greatly compromise the original perfect almond tofu.
Thought of this.
Lin Xu took his mobile phone and called Xie Baomin:
"Brother, I need osmanthus honey to make desserts. Do you know where I can buy good-quality osmanthus honey?"
If you want to buy high-end ingredients like this, you can only find someone who cooks high-end dishes.
As a venue for entertaining foreigners in the capital, Diaoyutai should have a variety of high-end ingredients.
Xie Baomin said:
"I'll have someone send you two bottles for Diaoyutai later. If you plan to use them in large quantities, I'll contact Diaoyutai's supplier later to ask about the situation."
Lin Xu made almond tofu just to thank her mother-in-law for buying clothes.
I don’t think about selling new ones in the store.
Because the asking price for this dessert is too low, and the asking price is too high, the sales volume will be low. It is better not to serve it at all, which can also increase the sales volume of sour plum soup.
Compared to almond tofu.
The preparation of sour plum soup is simpler and more suitable for large-scale production.
Not long after.
A carton was delivered by courier in the same city.
