Wang Baochuan, the foodie of time travel

When Wang Baochuan went out, Xue Pinggui was still sleeping, and Wang Baochuan made a face at his back lying on the mat.

Because she knew that the shops in the east and west cities were not open so early, she could only go around the square, and found a place to stand under the eaves to see how the breakfast shop was doing.

On the road there are still many carrying loads, and the front and rear baskets are covered with cloth to sell food.

Wang Baochuan basically got acquainted with the business situation of the breakfast shop, and followed the businessmen who carried the burden to see their business situation.

According to Wang Baochuan's observation, there are more people buying steamed cakes for breakfast, and two of them were holding the hot steamed cakes in their sleeves, and they were scorching hot when they ate them.

Those who carry the burden and sell steamed cakes seem to put an iron box under the bottom of the bamboo basket, which is also hollowed out, with charcoal burning inside, and the bamboo basket is probably filled with water. It can ensure that the steamed cakes on top continue to absorb the heat.

Steamed cakes are actually the same concept as steamed buns today, but they are flat and round in shape, but judging from the way these people sell cakes, they can't sell much in a day.

At the same time, Wang Baochuan also saw someone selling something similar to dumplings, which they called 饆饠, but it looked very thick and irregular in shape.

In addition to reading, Wang Baochuan used to like to eat. Not only did he eat a lot, but he also learned how to cook after eating.So after Wang Chiu's flower name, she has another nickname, Wang Chihuo.

Wang Chihuo spent money and bought a steamed cake to eat. The steamed cake is round on the top and flat on the bottom, just like the fancy bean paste bun.There are different fillings in it, and the one she ate was meat.

Don't blame her, who made her not eat meat for several days?Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty had a developed economy and a prosperous society. If she traveled through an era where people's livelihood was poor, she should hit a wall.

After eating steamed pancakes, she went to buy 饆饠 to eat. It is said that there are many kinds of flavors. Although the cherry one is delicious, she always feels that this kind of food that has not been neutralized has a bad texture and taste.

Wang Baochuan loves to eat. When she was born, it was only a few years after the reform and opening up, and the material was not very rich. Many things tasted very good, but after eating a lot, she felt that the food she ate before was not very tasty. People are like this, the taste will become more and more sophisticated, and more and more rich.

So if it can be improved in terms of taste and taste, she thinks that the food she cooks by herself should not be too bad.

After observing for a whole morning, Wang Baochuan has basically decided to sell food mainly, and among the food, dim sum like wontons, dumplings and steamed buns are the first choice.

Then, the next step is to try to see which comparison can improve economic benefits.

Wang Baochuan had to buy wheat flour first. Among the five grains of the Tang Dynasty, wheat occupied an indispensable position. Like rice, it was an indispensable staple food on the table of the people of the Tang Dynasty.There are a lot of wheat flour in the market, but Wang Baochuan found that the selected wheat flour is very expensive, and the coarse wheat flour may not be able to produce the taste she wants.

The uncle in the rice shop has beards, his eyes are sharp and energetic, and he is looking at Wang Baochuan who wants to enter but dare not. Hastily smiled and said, "Uh, how are you, boss."

"Call me Guo Sanlang." The boss raised his eyebrows, and continued to look at Wang Baochuan, thinking that this little lady was sneaky, maybe she wanted to steal rice?

Wang Baochuan then stepped forward and asked Guo Sanlang, "Ah, how do you sell this wheat flour?"

"This is 20 cents a bucket." He pointed to the roughest ones, and then pointed to the finer ones, "This one is 80 cents a bucket."

Wang Baochuan was stunned, the same wheat, but the quality and price were so different, but neither of them was a good choice, so she continued to look up at Guo Sanlang, wanting to see if he had other choices, only to see him walking to Next to a pile of wheat flour, this pile of wheat flour looks finer than the 20 Wen one, Guo Sanlang said, "40 Wen."

That bucket of wheat flour doesn't seem to be able to make a few steamed buns. The price of 40 Wen is very expensive for Wang Baochuan. Fortunately, the clothes cost a lot of money. If the things made are of good quality and high added value, she will If you ask some price, someone will buy it in the future, so Wang Baochuan gritted his teeth and bought it!

After buying, the boss raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you going to use to pretend?"

Wang Baochuan had question marks all over his head, uh, are there no plastic bags?Snakeskin bag?Vest bag?

The face of the boss Guo Sanlang, who had slightly improved, turned cloudy again, and Wang Baochuan said weakly, "How do other people usually pretend?"

It just so happened that a man came to buy grain at this time and carried the sack from behind. Wang Baochuan then understood, so he raised his face and asked Guo Sanlang, "It's my first time buying grain. Where can I buy the sack?"

Guo Sanlang was so choked by her that he couldn't catch his breath for a while, he pushed her out of the door with a big hand, pointed to a grocery store on the corner of the street and said, "Go buy."

Wang Baochuan bought sacks and got wheat flour, first carried it back to the workshop, and then went to find Aunt Zhao.Aunt Liu said that Aunt Zhao’s family sells steamed cakes. Wang Baochuan went to find Aunt Zhao. She may have heard from Aunt Liu that Wang Baochuan also wanted to learn how to sell dim sum. Even Wang Baochuan was indifferent.

Wang Baochuan had no choice but to make a living by eating, otherwise what could he do?

Although Aunt Zhao ignored it, she didn't say much. Wang Baochuan watched Aunt Zhao sift the wheat flour with a bamboo dustpan and dried it for a while. When she felt that it was almost done, she began to prepare warm water noodles.Wang Baochuan observed that there were some hard white noodles beside the warm water of the noodles. Wang Baochuan asked curiously, "Ms. Zhao, what is that?"

Aunt Zhao was kneading noodles, four servings of noodles and a bowl of water. Wang Baochuan made a note in his heart, and saw her put the white lump in and pounded it together. It must have been embarrassing for a long time. Aunt Zhao herself was not a bad person, so He replied indifferently, "Old Mian."

Wang Baochuan took out the survival manual from his arms. The old noodles are the leftovers after fermenting the noodles every time. There are yeasts in them, which can be used to ferment the dough continuously.

So Wang Baochuan smiled and said, "Mother, can you, uh, give me some?"

Aunt Zhao glanced at her and said, "It's okay to make it for others, but not for you."

Wang Baochuan shut his mouth, and stood aside awkwardly.

Aunt Zhao kneaded the dough by herself, and Wang Baochuan explained the necessary tools and basic procedures a few times. When Aunt Zhao started making dough, she walked back to her home silently.

Probably because she felt that her attitude was a bit too much, so Aunt Zhao said, "Hey, come back."

Wang Baochuan's eyes lit up, and when he turned around excitedly, he saw Aunt Zhao stuffing a piece of old noodles in her hand and said, "Take it, my Dalang sells steamed cakes in the area of ​​Jinchangfang."

After receiving the ball of old noodles, Wang Baochuan quickly nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will never sell food there."

Aunt Zhao was probably a little embarrassed by Wang Baochuan's talking about her thoughts, and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay to go, my steamed cakes are selling well."

The corners of Wang Baochuan's mouth collapsed. This means that feelings are her thing, so she must not be doing well?

Aunt Zhao accidentally said what was in her heart, and laughed again, "Oh, there is a lot of food in the morning." But her inner thoughts were, you, a village woman who can't even make noodles, do Can the food come out delicious?

Of course Wang Baochuan also knew that Aunt Zhao didn't like her craftsmanship, so he apologized from the sidelines and squeezed the old noodles on his hands tightly.

When they returned to the dilapidated house, Xue Pinggui had already woken up, but Wang Baochuan ignored him, and saw that he was holding her newly bought wheat flour in his hand, and swallowed it as soon as he made it.

Damn, how shameless this guy is!

Wang Baochuan picked up the kitchen knife on the back of her waist and slashed at her. Xue Pinggui had been paying attention to her every move for a long time, and ran out like burning her buttocks, while cursing, "You bitch, dare to slash your grandfather and me. is you."

But the scolding is scolding, but the person ran away in a hurry.

Wang Baochuan saw that there was still warm water in his bowl and hot water was still burning on the stove outside. From the perspective of Wang Baochuan, who was in such a tight financial situation, every drop of it was money.

After the charcoal fire was extinguished, the water in the pot could be used for kneading noodles when it was warm. She put away her things, guessing that Xue Pinggui would not come back so soon, so she hurried back to the workshop to buy the rest of the ingredients she needed.

It is inconvenient to make soup, but it is possible to sell steamed buns, but how can it be surprising?

She suddenly missed the steamed stuffed buns that she ate at the Town God's Temple, and tried to recall what was inside, green vegetables, mushrooms, dried tofu, adding a little sugar appropriately, the salty and sweet taste can increase the umami taste.

Wang Baochuan flipped through the survival manual, which said that vegetables in the Tang Dynasty had already begun to be cultivated artificially, and Wang Baochuan had indeed seen shepherd's purse, green vegetables, cabbage, etc. at vegetable vendors.This time Wang Baochuan was smart. He first went to a grocery store to buy a bamboo basket. Although it was a little expensive, costing 15 renminbi, at least the means of transportation solved the problem.

I went back to the vegetable vendor, bought ten catties of green vegetables, and started looking for dried tofu.

Tofu is sold, but dried tofu is not available. Wang Baochuan plans to buy some tofu first, and see if it can be turned into dried tofu by wrapping it in gauze and drying it.

Then I bought some scallion, ginger, oil, salt and soy sauce. Wang Baochuan saw that ghee was sold in the market. It tasted a bit strong, but it seemed that people in the Tang Dynasty liked it very much, so he also bought some.

In the end, I started looking for shiitake mushrooms. I ran all over the shops looking for shiitake mushrooms, but I couldn’t find them. There is no such common thing as shiitake mushrooms? !

Wang Baochuan's high enthusiasm was instantly hit. She put her shoulders on her shoulders and thought, did she just go home like this?But this made her a little reconciled.

Seeing others selling steamed pancakes and pancakes, does she want to sell them the same?She has always hated copycats the most. Intellectual property is important in the 21st century, so it should be as important in the Tang Dynasty, right?

Looking along the way, the Tang Dynasty was very lively even in the market place, and the business was quite prosperous.

But Bao Chuan didn't care to look at the bustling and noisy scene around her. Now she only felt that the things on her back were heavy and her steps were sore. Now she came to the shop selling mountain delicacies dejectedly. Yes, but I looked around, and there is no one selling shiitake mushrooms.

Does God want her to die because of poverty?Wang Baochuan was very depressed.
