Chapter 171 Have you seen stuffed pancakes?
He looked so tired, but he hadn't given up eating yet. Chef Xia Anan didn't know whether she should be relieved or not.
"What's for lunch today?"
Lu Qingyuan held his neck to wash his hands. When he stood up, Xia An seemed to see sand falling on him...
There are not two people. What on earth did they go to play? Or did they fall into the sand?
"We're having pork belly for lunch today. Have you ever eaten it before?"
First serve the three people some rice, then put today's stewed dishes into a deeper iron plate, starting with the pork belly cut into large chunks.
There are other dishes placed on the side. You can pick up whatever you want and finally pour a spoonful of broth on it.
Even though Lu Qingyuan seldom went to Western restaurants with exquisite tableware, when such a large piece of meat appeared on the table, he was stunned on the spot.
"Wouldn't it be a bit greasy to eat such a big piece of meat in the hot summer... huh? It tastes pretty good."
Although such a large piece of meat looks scary, after eating it you will find that it tastes really good.
The fat is not greasy at all, melts in your mouth, and has only a light smell of oil.
The lean meat is not tough, so you don’t have to worry about it getting stuck in your teeth.
He ate several mouthfuls in a row and didn't feel sick of it.
“Delicious, delicious, tastes good.”
As Lu Qingyuan spoke, he picked up some other dishes for himself and put almost every dish on the tray into his bowl.
The tiger skin quail eggs are very tasty, with a full meaty aroma in one bite, not to mention the soy products and gluten that absorb the soup. It is so satisfying to bite into the full gravy.
Just now he was worried that eating this kind of food would be a bit too greasy in the summer, but it’s not the case, it’s really refreshing now!
He felt that after playing with the little guy for the whole afternoon, all the energy he had lost was replenished, and he drank a large bowl of rice in one breath.
Xia Anan, who hadn't had time to sit down yet, happened to help him add more rice. She said that no one would dislike braised pork, even if the one she cooked might not be very authentic.
Bringing another big bowl of rice, Lu Qingyuan looked at the two people who were still standing there in a daze, "Don't just watch me eat, you guys eat quickly too, the meat won't taste good if it gets cold."
It was hard for the other party to still remember them when he was enjoying his meal. Xia Anan put Xia Baobao's bowl in front of him and asked if he wanted some broth. The other party gave her an affirmative answer.
Xia Anan originally thought that she could make such a big pot for two meals. After all, the longer the meat is soaked, the more flavorful it will be, and it will taste even better in the afternoon.
In the end, I only ate one piece, and the rest was eaten by the two of them.
Lu Qingyuan patted his stomach with great satisfaction, picked up the corn juice beside him and took two sips, "Didn't you say you wanted to open a breakfast stall? Why did you change your mind now? Are you going to sell this?
But this piece of meat is really delicious, but at first glance, it looks a bit scary because of its size. But after taking a bite, I couldn’t help but keep eating it.”
It can be seen that Lu Qingyuan was quite satisfied with today's lunch, and he didn't even mention how tired he was from playing outside with Xia Baobao.
Xia Anan: "Who said I was going to set this up as a stall? This is just an ordinary lunch."
"real or fake?"
Lu Qingyuan's eyes were full of disbelief. Although he couldn't cook, he could taste that it must have taken a lot of effort to stew the meat to this degree, and it must have taken a long time in the kitchen.
The other party has been busy running around for the so-called breakfast stall these past two days, and even didn't have time to take care of Xia Baobao, leaving it completely in his hands.
How could anyone have the time to make such a carefully prepared lunch for himself?
Is it possible...
When he thought of this, a guess suddenly emerged in his mind, and he didn't even bother to drink the corn juice.
He slammed the table and stood up, "What do you mean by this? Are you trying to trick me again?"
"...What are you talking about, Mr. Lu? How can business matters be considered as fraud?"
Besides, Xia Anan had no intention of fooling him.
When I first came to this world, I had nothing. Now I barely have a little money, but Lu Qingyuan has much more money than me.
Apart from the knowledge about food in her mind that did not belong to this world, it seemed that there was nothing else she could show off.
Xia Anan really doesn’t know what else she can do besides cooking delicious food?
When Xia Baobao was with Xia Anan, she thought that the other party was very obedient and easy to take care of. Unlike those children she had seen before, who would throw tantrums and roll around in the streets at any time.
But unexpectedly, Lu Qingyuan just played with the little guy for a whole morning, and the other party was too lazy to even go to the company.
After dinner, Xia Anan played games with the little guy for a while, then took a bath and washed off the sand they brought back home.
After letting the little one take a nap, she communicated with the processor about the cart.
If you want to set up a stall in other places, you need a more portable stall.
Xia Anan plans to make a folding car so that she can set up a stall even if she doesn't have a tricycle.
The most important thing about this stall is that it is easy to carry and takes up little space. After she told the factory about her idea, they quickly sent her the drawings and even welded the first version for her overnight.
Both the upper and lower layers can be folded, and when unfolded it becomes a portable cart, and there is a place on the top to display a sign.
"Boss Xia, look, this is what I made... You can print your scallion pancakes and the like on it, isn't it pretty?"
Xia Anan didn't expect him to be so considerate, but she really didn't expect it before. It seems that it is right to trust professionals. He even considered the signboard for display.
Add money, you must add money!
"Then if I have time, I will go to the site to take a look. If there are no problems, I can produce a few more."
Xia Anan thought about not officially launching the breakfast stall yet, but randomly selecting a few locations to see how sales were.
Nowadays, many people don’t like to eat breakfast because the weather is too hot, which determines the time of launching the breakfast stall.
Xia Anan took Xia Baobao around Beijing several times in the past two days. On the surface, it seemed like they were just taking a ride, but in fact they were scouting the area.
Which intersection has more traffic and where are there more young people? These are important factors in deciding where to open a breakfast stall in the future.
She printed out a map of all the intersections in Beijing and marked a few of them.
Soon the custom-made pot was ready. When Xia Anan saw the finished product, she was extremely satisfied. He was indeed a master craftsman who could accurately make a perfect product even from the mess he described.
After getting the pot she wanted, she tried it and found no problems, so she asked the chef to make a few more as soon as possible.
Everything was almost ready. Xia Anan prepared the ingredients and notified Pei Yuanbai and others to come to the snack street to try out the new product that she was about to launch.
Lu Qingyuan didn't have to go to work on the weekend, but when he heard her say that she wanted to try new products, he decisively took Xia Baobao to the snack street to watch the fun.
"As the big boss, I need to see what the new product looks like and how it tastes."
Xia Anan wanted to say that she didn't plan to sell this new product in the snack street, but since the people had come, and besides, she still had something to ask of him, she couldn't chase him away.
At most, she lost two cakes. She hadn't seen such a simple and unpretentious boss for a long time.
"An An, I heard that you were going to make a new product, so I put down what I was doing and rushed over here without stopping. What are we going to make today?"
Xiaoling looked at the strange pot in front of her with confusion in her eyes. It was the first time she had seen such a strange shape. It seemed that what she was going to make soon would be extraordinary.
Xia Anan divided the dough in her hand into even-sized dough pieces and said, "This time I'm going to make egg-filled pancakes. The method is a little different from the scallion pancakes and sauce-flavored pancakes I've made before. I'll make a few for you to try."
"This kind of egg-filled pancake is made differently from that kind of pancake. It's fried in a frying pan first, then placed in the oven below to control the oil..."
Xia Anan said as she put the crust in her hand into the oil pan. It was quite scary to see so much oil just now.
But only she knows how to fry the crust until it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, so that the pancake will taste good.
When frying the pancake, beat the eggs into a small teacup. The pancake in the oil pan has just bulged up, so use chopsticks to make a small hole in it and pour the eggs in.
Use chopsticks to support the omelet and turn it over so that the egg liquid faces downward. It will solidify immediately when it touches the hot oil and the egg inside will no longer be exposed.
"Actually, this step is just to pour the eggs in. You may not be able to grasp the essence at the beginning, but you will get the hang of it after a few attempts."
Xia Anan saw that the eggs in the pan were almost fried, so she took the eggs out of the pan and put them upright in the oven below.
"This step is to control the oil content, because the pancakes made with oil just now will be greasy, and they will taste better after the oil is removed."
While controlling the oil below, you can also rely on the stove itself to keep the pancakes warm, and continue to make the pancakes above.
Xia Anan fried a few slices of ham on top, and when the time was up, she could take out the pancake underneath.
Xia Anan brushed sauce on the pancake and put ham slices and lettuce on it. From her movements, you can see how crispy the pancake is.
"A cake like this is ready. I ordered the packaging bags, but they haven't arrived yet."
Just as Xia Anan put the pancake on the plate, a hand took the plate away from her.
"Let me try it first, it's not too much, right?"
Without waiting for Xia Anan and the others to say anything, Lu Qingyuan had already put the cake into his mouth.
The first feeling when biting into the pancake is its crispiness. It is much crispier than the scallion pancakes, sauce-flavored pancakes or roujiamo sold in the snack streets nowadays, and it is especially fragrant.
The sauce is slightly spicy, and paired with lettuce and sausage slices, it is quite refreshing.
After a few more bites, you can taste the soft fried eggs inside.
Perhaps because of the oil control, the pancake is crispy but not as greasy as ordinary fried products.
"good to eat!"
As the first person to try it, Lu Qingyuan gave the highest evaluation.
Xia Anan: "...Apart from delicious, is there no other adjective to describe it?"
Lu Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, then said, "Yes, it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant but not greasy. If I had a drink right now, it would be so comfortable."
"There are drinks too, but they'll have to wait."
Xia Anan took out the remaining few pancakes in the pot, brushed them with sauce, cut them into small pieces, and gave them to the other people to taste.
Finally, take out the prepared drinks.
Currently there is only original flavor soy milk, which is freshly squeezed from soybeans and is very fragrant.
Having a cup of tea early in the morning is very healthy.
"I think it's quite successful so far. You can add some diced pickles to it."
Xia Anan tried hard to recall the egg-filled pancake she had eaten before. It seemed a little monotonous if it only put lettuce and ham in it.
Mo Xuemei gave a thumbs up and said, "I think it's perfect now. I didn't expect there is a method of frying it on top and then baking it on the bottom."
It feels so crispy that I wake up after taking a bite in the morning.
She would buy from other people even if they were setting up stalls.
Xia Anan looked at Pei Yuanbai and Xiaoling, and their opinions were the same as Mo Xuemei's.
"It's delicious, crispy and not greasy. Pair it with a cup of soy milk. Maybe we can sell a set meal," Xiaoling suggested.
This gave Xia Anan an idea. When she traveled through time, group buying packages from major brands were in full swing.
In order to attract customers, every merchant has provided various group purchase packages. Maybe you can also make one yourself.
As for the pricing, it should be similar to that of scallion pancakes. You can add two or three yuan to get an extra drink. The one I'm thinking of right now is soy milk.
This kind of thing is more popular and more people accept it.
As for porridge and other noodles, it will not be too late to arrange them after the breakfast stall has developed steadily.
The next period of time was for Mo Xuemei to start training the people she had just recruited and teach them how to set up stalls on their own.
Some people still want to stay in the snack street for some time to learn, but some people have already made up their minds and feel that they can set up a stall by themselves.
According to their respective abilities, Xia Anan and others made simple assignments for them. Some of those with outstanding abilities tried to set up stalls first, while the rest continued to study.
Combine the stove made by the master craftsman with the carts made by the factory. After testing the abilities of some people, let them choose the location to set up the stall according to where they currently live.
Everything is ready, and all that remains is to see how accepting people are of egg-filled pancakes.
After the success of several previous new products, Xia Anan felt more confident about this breakfast.
But she did not choose to post the news of the new products on social networks to see if anyone would recognize the breakfast stall as theirs.
The final result will prove whether the sign of the snack stall is more attractive or the taste of the food sold in the snack street is more attractive to customers.
Xia Anan believes that they win by the taste, not by the netizens who rush to buy things in the snack street just because they hear her bragging about it online.
