He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

The lotus leaf cake looks fancy, but the steaming method is actually not much different from that of steamed buns. There was a lot of noodles made today, so Lu Yan steamed two large pots of lotus leaf cake that looked like steamed buns.

Lotus leaf cake

After steaming the lotus leaf cake, I started thinking about the steamed pork belly. She was already planning to make steamed pork with rice flour, but Lu Yan later realized that there seemed to be no rice at home.

Lu Yan ran to Lu Sheng's room again and asked him: "Don't we have rice at home? Don't you usually eat rice?"

Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while and said: "There should be rice... I also eat rice, but I only eat it very rarely. After all, it is expensive."

Rice is not grown in Dayao Mountain. Rice is imported and much more expensive than noodles. Lu Sheng went to dig through it, and sure enough he found a small bag of old rice.

Lu Yan looked at the two bowls of rice, a little silent. Fortunately, it doesn’t take much rice to make steamed pork.

Lu Yan scooped out half a bowl of rice, heated the pot, poured the rice in, and kept stir-frying until the rice turned yellow and the air was filled with a strong fragrance of rice. Lu Yan put out the fire and poured the rice into the pot. out. Lu Yan added a few peppercorns to the rice, crushed them together with a rolling pin, and put them in a bowl for later use.

She cut the remaining pound of meat into medium-thick slices, added seasonings, and marinated it. This time she added two more spoonfuls of peppercorns.

It was still early for Boss Lu to come back, so Lu Yan couldn't cook now, so she had some free time again.

She really didn't know what to do, so she thought she could just draw a schematic diagram of what she wanted to do for Boss Lu and let him do it slowly. Then it occurred to her that she didn't know how to use a brush.

Lu Yan looked outside and saw a few chickens sleeping in the nest, and suddenly thought of the quill.

Lu Sheng was reading in the room when he suddenly heard a frantic crow of a chicken outside accompanied by the sound of flapping wings, exploding in the courtyard like water droplets splashing into a pan.

Lu Sheng was stunned, and quickly walked out of the house to look outside. He saw chickens flying and ducks jumping in the yard, roosters and hens all flapping their wings and running away. Lu Yan was chasing behind a group of chickens, muttering something in her mouth: "Good baby, let's go." I pulled out the hair..."

Lu Sheng:? ? ? ?

Lu Yan ended in failure. Mainly because she finally caught a big rooster and looked through its tail feathers, only to find that they were too short to use. The rooster crowed so miserably that Lu Yan had no choice but to let it go.

Lu Sheng didn't understand what Lu Yan was doing at all, and Lu Yan couldn't explain it. She could only pretend that nothing happened and returned to her room as if nothing had happened.

Ahhhh, so annoying! It was really too leisurely in ancient times!

After struggling for a while, it was time to make dinner, and Lu Yan entered the kitchen again.

Lu Yan took out two potatoes, cut them into slices, and soaked them in water. The meat slices have been marinated all afternoon and are completely infused with flavor. Lu Yan rolled the meat slices in the crushed rice noodles and coated each slice with rice noodles. She took out a large bowl, put potato slices on the bottom, stacked the meat slices on top, and steamed it.

While the meat was steaming, Lu Yan peeled a few more potatoes, cut them into thin strips, and soaked them in the water just now.

Boss Lu came back not long after the steamed pork vermicelli was steamed. In the past few days, Boss Lu could always smell the enticing aroma of food when he entered his yard.

"Yanya Tou, I've made what you want." Boss Lu shouted as soon as he came in.

Lu Yan hurriedly went out to take a look and saw Boss Lu holding a wooden barrel. The bottom of the barrel was a hollow metal cover. After opening it, there was another covered metal box fixed in the middle.

"The Japanese stove means the same thing, but it's a little bigger." Mr. Lu explained: "Put charcoal inside and close the two-layer cover. You can put food in it and it will keep you warm for at least two hours."

"That's enough." Lu Yan smiled broadly, "Dad, go wash your hands and get ready to eat. You'll be ready soon."

Boss Lu responded and went to the courtyard to get water to wash his hands.

Lu Yan quickly fried some shredded potatoes, cut the stew into slices, and served them to the table one by one.

On the table were a bowl of hot large lotus leaf cakes, a bowl of steamed pork, a bowl of sliced ​​stew, and a large plate of fried shredded potatoes.

"This is the food business I plan to do." Lu Yan gave the two of them a piece of stew: "How about trying this first."

Boss Lu and Lu Sheng picked up the stew and brought it to their mouths. Their eyes suddenly lit up: "It's delicious!"

"What is this? Why does it smell so meaty!"

"I ate minced meat! Is it really made of meat?"

Lu Yan smiled: "This is a stew made with broth. It only contains a piece of meat. The cost is very low. What do you think? Can it be sold?"

"No problem!" Lu Sheng swallowed the stew in his mouth, his eyes sparkling: "It really tastes like meat. Many people must like it."

Boss Lu also nodded.

"Break this lotus leaf cake and eat it with vegetables. You can try it with whatever you want." Lu Yan took another lotus leaf cake and greeted, "There is also the steamed pork I made, try it."

The steamed pork is also very delicious. The rice grains are slightly chewy and have a strong rice aroma. The meat slices inside are soft and fragrant. The potatoes underneath are full of gravy. They are soft, sweet and glutinous, refreshing and relieve greasiness. Mr. Lu and Lu Sheng are full of praises. .

Steamed meat

Lu Yan also put the steamed pork into the lotus leaf cake, and she was extremely satisfied after taking one bite. But she thought about it and felt that she still couldn't make steamed pork if she wanted to sell it. First, the rice was expensive and unsuitable. Second, sliced ​​rice was not as enjoyable as looking at it as a whole piece.

The lotus leaf cake filled with shredded potatoes is also very delicious. The lotus leaf cake is as big as a steamed bun and filled with shredded potatoes, which is very satisfying.

"Dad, I looked at the prices of food in town. I want to order shredded potatoes for 3 cents, braised rice for 4 cents, and meat for 6 cents. What do you think?" Lu Yan said, "I'll stew. A pot of meat can be cut into seven or eight pieces per kilogram, and one cut into pieces can be sold for 6 cents with pancakes, and the broth can be used to make some stews."

"The price is fair, but I don't know if it can be sold." Boss Lu said.

"Dad, you cut a hundred or so one-inch long thin bamboo sticks for me. I'll go back and cut two pieces of stew for them to try." Lu Yan said, "I'll try it first. We won't make too much. We'll prepare ten pieces of it." If it works, we’ll sell it. If it doesn’t work, we can eat it ourselves.”

Boss Lu couldn't help but nodded when he heard her detailed explanation, everything was planned.

"Then I have to go to town to buy things again tomorrow." Lu Yan looked at Boss Lu eagerly.

Boss Lu chuckled and counted out another hundred coins. Lu Yan handed all the money to Lu Sheng: "Keep it, let's go to town tomorrow."
