Chapter 499: Business
The woodworker's craftsmanship is really good. Although it took only one hour to make so many bamboo sticks, it is not careless at all in terms of craftsmanship. Each bamboo stick is evenly long and the burrs on the bamboo are ground clean, which prevents guests from getting injured while eating.
People nowadays are generally simple and do not play scheming with others. As long as they do things, they must be very serious.
Shen Qingsong is also very reliable in selecting people. Every piece of furniture he made for their house was very well-prepared and well-made.
So now there is a long-term job of doing bamboo sticks, and Gu Jin handed it over to a reliable master without hesitation.
Malatang is very simple to make. As long as the ingredients are fresh and her special ingredients and sauces are added, you won’t have to worry about the food being undelicious. And the most important thing is to build a stall with a pot and a gas stove, which is not complicated.
Gu Jin has had this idea in his mind for a long time, but he has not put it into practice. Now that Ning Xiaotong comes to her, she is ready to welcome a brilliant future.
After the bamboo sticks were prepared, Gu Jin called Chen Cuicui, who was waiting aside, and said, "Now we are going to buy the ingredients we need for Malatang. It is the time to use people. Cuicui, we pushed the cart at home and went to buy things together."
Chen Cuicui nodded quickly. She and Ning Xiaotong both had lively personalities and were careless and had no thoughts, so the two quickly got into a group.
It was almost the 1990s, and many cities were still buying things in supply and marketing cooperatives. However, Beijing was a place with relatively fast economic development in the country and had already formed a market. The uncles and aunts selling vegetables gathered in the vegetable market and competed for business.
In places with great pressure on competition, they all show their magical powers. Girls with a naughty face like Gu Jin are more likely to be attracted, so the three girls were strongly welcomed when they walked to the vegetable market.
But Gu Jin was not blinded by sugar-coated shells. She walked to the meat stall, and the bones and meat on it were very fresh.
In this review, Jin needed to purchase a lot of pork, so he carefully selected and passed on his experience of how to choose to Ning Xiaotong and Shen Cuicui. She quickly picked out a few big bones, fresh pork belly and tenderloin, as well as pork liver, pig intestines, pig lungs and other ingredients.
The first time the stall owner saw such a big business, he was particularly enthusiastic about Gu Jin and did not dare to fool her as a little girl. He gave all the freshest and best parts.
Gu Jin was about to leave after giving the money. The stall owner rubbed his hands and shouted from behind, "Little girl, what are you going to do for buying this succulent?"
"Make spicy hot pot." Gu Jin did not hide it from the other party, and told her openly, and said, "If you pass by the medical university, don't forget to come and try it."
Originally, Gu Jin wanted to buy some beef brisket, sheep belly and other things, but when they thought that their stall was just starting out, they should not make too many types, so they should start with the parts of the pig that are easily accepted by everyone.
After buying the meat, Gu Jin took them to buy vegetables. In this season, there are not many types of vegetables that can be sold, and Gu Jin was a little disappointed.
There is no concept of greenhouse vegetables yet. Gu Jin's medicinal herbs have already started growing greenhouse vegetables, so he can always eat many kinds of vegetables. Unfortunately, this is Beijing, and there is no place for her to play.
For his own welfare, Gu Jin decided to meet Zheng Jiuming or Ning Haochen another day and have a good chat with them to see if he could report to the leaders above and support greenhouse vegetables. This would improve people's life too much happiness.
When he got home, Gu Jin demonstrated to them how to make spicy hot pot.
Today is the first day, so there are not many spices and ingredients prepared, but the most important soup base is cooked by Gu Jin.
Because Malatang is a very fresh word, and the things have not been done yet, no one knows what the results are, so Gu Jin feels that the business should not be particularly good.
Chen Cuicui and Ning Xiaotong washed vegetables together, cut vegetables, and then put all the vegetables, meat, and pig internal organs on the bamboo sticks.
This job is simple, no matter what Gu Jin said, they will do whatever they want.
The vegetables Gu Jin prepared this time include this season, and there are also fungus that are available in any season. As for the meat, they are only put in after pickling.
Speaking of the treatment of ingredients, it can be said to be complicated or simple, and requires repeated cleaning. This is a very test of patience. This is the second step of Gu Jin's test on Ning Xiaotong.
She needs to know whether Ning Xiaotong is someone who can take on great responsibilities.
It is actually quite difficult to clean the pigs. If you want to make them tasteless, you will be exhausted. However, Ning Xiaotong did not complain at all. She always lowered her hair to wash. After washing, the boiled pig lungs were still white and looked very clean.
Facts proved that Ning Xiaotong did not disappoint Gu Jin. Now Gu Jin was completely relieved and began to teach Ning Xiaotong how to make soup.
The two biggest secrets of Malatang are the cooking soup base and the processing of sauce. Gu Jin himself uses medicinal materials, so he can easily match it. Gu Jin gave the order of each Chinese medicine to Ning Xiaotong without reservation.
After working hard for an afternoon, when everyone was about to finish their meal, Gu Jin moved all the pots and stoves to the school gate.
After everything was ready, cooking spicy hot pot was just a little bit. When the ingredients were placed in the pot, the taste continued to float out, which made many students who had just finished class and workers who had just got off work couldn't help swallowing\/Swallowing.
This taste is so attractive.
"What are you cooking on this stall? It smells so fragrant, so my saliva is so fragrant."
"Look at the pot, strings of them are fresh ways we have never seen before. Can this be eaten? Can it be delicious?"
"I smell so much, but it smells quite fragrant. I just don't know if it tastes delicious!"
Whispers around him kept floating into his ears, and there were people standing next to Gu Jin's stall, but no one dared to come forward to try.
Chen Cuicui and Ning Xiaotong were a little anxious when they saw this and wanted to go up and shout, but Gu Jin stopped them, and his expression was light.
In this way, you have to keep calm and not be anxious.
After a while, Peng Xiaoqi and Teng Yi, who were about to come out for dinner, found Gu Jin's figure. She smiled and said, "Xiaojin, Cuicui, looking at so many people around me, I thought what's wrong. It turned out that your stall has opened, and I will support you now."
