I became an internet celebrity by running a grocery store

After Chang Rubi tasted that bowl of Mala Tang, she became like a demon, pestering Zhang Xiaobei on the page every day, begging him to do it again.

The fresh and tender shrimp, the chewy tripe, the fried meat that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the various meatballs that she can't name and taste, all feel very delicious, which makes her linger in her dreams.

It's a pity that since then, Zhang Xiaobei has been unwilling to do it for her anyway.No matter how much she begged, even offering a price of 50 taels of silver for a bowl, she couldn't wait for Mala Tang, which made her want to see it.

It wasn't that Zhang Xiaobei didn't like it, it was because cooking Mala Tang was not only costly but also time-consuming, that's why he didn't agree to her request.

Although the weather in Nanlin Village has cleared up these past few days, the temperature has not risen at all.Zhang Xiaobei began to think about customizing a windshield for the entrance of the canteen.In this way, no matter how cold it is, the commissary will not be exposed to the cold wind naked.

A gust of wind slipped by, Zhang Xiaobei stomped his feet.Such a slightly cold weather made Zhang Xiaobei want to eat something warm, preferably with soup, which would not only fill him up, but also warm him up.

Kanto cooking!

This food suddenly popped up in his mind.

It is said that fried chicken and beer are the most suitable for rainy days. In Zhang Xiaobei's eyes, nothing compares to oden and skewers.

Why don't you buy an Oden cooking machine and put it in the canteen.

Once this idea appeared, no matter how Zhang Xiaobei suppressed it, it couldn't dissipate.He accidentally took out his mobile phone to check the price, and found that the machine is not expensive, and a 20-liter 18-cell one only costs more than 200 yuan.

This is not expensive, or just buy one.

Zhang Xiaobei persuaded himself in his heart.

Not only do I want to eat it, but when it's cold, who doesn't want to eat something warm.He was also thinking about the canteen, Zhang Xiaobei should think about it.

The business of the canteen is good, and the business of the software store will also be good. How can he not do this kind of good thing that kills two birds with one stone.After thinking about it, he placed the order, and urged the seller to deliver the goods quickly, with an anxious look on his face.

After a few days of looking forward to it, he finally received the machine.

A total of 18 grids are evenly divided into two parts from the middle, just enough to hold two flavors.Zhang Xiaobei is going to cook the Oden and put the skewers at the same time.Just one light, one spicy, to meet the needs of different customers.

As soon as he got the machine, he couldn't wait to clean it, and then went online to learn how to make the oden base.

There are ready-made ones sold online, so you can just buy them and cook them, which is convenient and trouble-free.But because the price was high, it was not very cost-effective, so Zhang Xiaobei gave up.His main customers are students, in order to make them affordable, Zhang Xiaobei tried his best to reduce the cost.The ingredients cannot be saved, so naturally we can only start with the bottom material.

It is not difficult to make the base of Oden. It just needs bonito flower, kombu, rice wine, mirin and light soy sauce. These are not expensive. In addition, Zhang Xiaobei bought a lot at a time, which pushed down the price again.

First take a pot of cold water, put in the kelp and then turn on the fire, so as to maximize the freshness of the kelp as the water temperature rises.After the water is boiled, take out the kombu, put in the bonito flakes and cook for a few minutes, and take out the same.At this time, the color of the soup base has gradually changed due to the addition of bonito flakes, and it has become a light brown, which is a bit like an Kanto soup base.

Pour in a little light soy sauce, mirin and rice wine, and let them cook for a while. After the aroma is fully integrated, Zhang Xiaobei tasted it with a small spoon.I think the taste is just right, neither sweet nor salty.But he still put some salt. After all, if the soup base is not salty, the cooked food will be tasteless.

After preparing the core soup base of Kanto cooking, Zhang Xiaobei began to prepare the ingredients.The first one must be white radish. He didn't like to eat white radish, and thought it had a very strange taste.But the white radish in the oden is unexpectedly delicious, without the slightest smell of radish, and the delicious soup is full, and the juice is overflowing in one bite.

He peeled the radish and cut it into small pieces, which is more convenient to taste.Then there are konjac and old tofu, which are also cut into small pieces. After the end, they are boiled in boiling water with white radish for 10 minutes, and then thrown into the Kanto soup.

Because this can not only remove the bitterness in the white radish first, but also prevent these ingredients from making the soup base cloudy during long cooking.Then there are all kinds of fish balls and vegetables, which are put in order according to the cooking time.

Zhang Xiaobei cooked a big pot full, filled a bowl for Chang Rubi, and immediately called Liu Bing and Xia Songfeng, asking them to come and eat together.

When people came, Zhang Xiaobei found out that he was busy preparing oden cooking, and don't forget to steam the rice.A pot full of vegetables and meat, even if you eat all of them, you won't be hungry if you don't have staple food.

"What about this?"

Zhang Xiaobei was a little distressed, it might be too late to steam it now, otherwise the dishes would be ruined.

"Did you finish the steamed buns I gave you last time?" Liu Bing asked.

Zhang Xiaobei shook his head.By the way, there are also steamed buns.The last time Liu Bing packed a big bag for himself, it was steamed by Liu's mother, it was big and fluffy.

"Let's just heat him up, and cook the big steamed buns in Oden, maybe they taste good." Xia Songfeng said.

Zhang Xiaobei took out a few steamed buns and put them in a large pot to heat them up. The freshly baked steamed buns were still a little hot in his hands, and when they were served with steaming oden, the people who ate them were sweating all over. enjoyable.

"what about the taste?"

Although looking at the pictures of the two of them eating, they knew that the taste was definitely good, but Zhang Xiaobei couldn't help but ask again.

"Delicious." Liu Bing was the first to reply.Afraid that Zhang Xiaobei would not believe it, he put up two thumbs up and stretched it out in front of him.

Xia Songfeng also said it was delicious, "Why do you suddenly think of cooking Oden?"

"I just ate malatang at your place a few days ago, and today I ate oden. If this continues, how can I still eat the food at my place." Xia Songfeng felt that his mouth was being teased by him.

"Then you might as well eat at Xiaobei's from now on, the two of you just happen to be able to make a companion."

Liu Bing's words were exactly what Xia Songfeng meant. He looked at Zhang Xiaobei, wanting to hear his thoughts.Seeing him bow his head and say nothing, he felt a little uncomfortable.Not wanting to make things difficult for Zhang Xiaobei, he prepared to change the subject, but at this moment he listened to Zhang Xiaobei's way.

"Okay, but you have to pay me for food every month, which is just a little bit more. I don't cook for you for nothing."

Xia Songfeng laughed, "That's natural. Not only do you pay for food, but you also pay for washing dishes and housework. Zhang Xiaobei, what do you think?"

Zhang Xiaobei pretended to ponder for a while, then reluctantly nodded, "All right, let's make do with it."

Liu Bing laughed out loud.

At this time, Xia Songfeng talked about another matter, which was considered a happy event for both the village and Zhang Xiaobei.

"Our village will have a crew to make a movie."

"Really?" Zhang Xiaobei's face was full of surprise and amazement.

Their village is an ordinary small village, no different from other villages.If there is any difference, it may be that their village is poorer. Compared with other villages, the houses are all four-story small buildings, and the outer walls are covered with beautiful and gorgeous tiles.Most of their villages are two-story small buildings with cement walls.To put it nicely, it is plain and unpretentious, but at worst, it is rustic.

How could a crew want to come to their village to shoot a movie? Could it be a period drama?

"What kind of movie are you filming?" Liu Bing asked.

"It seems to be a martial arts movie. I fell in love with the vines on the back mountain and wanted to come to shoot the scene."

Only then did Zhang Xiaobei suddenly realize that the vines on the back mountain were still a bit of a pat on the head.Especially during this period of time when it rained for several days, the lush greenery is even more lush.

"By the way, Liu Bing, do you have any vacant rooms at your house? The crew asked me to find some places to live for them. There will be dozens of people coming. I'm wondering how to arrange them."

Temporary residence must be paid, and it is quite a lot.Xia Songfeng immediately thought of Liu Bing. It happened that he was short of money during this time, so he could give him some extra income.

Liu Bing naturally understood what Xia Songfeng meant, and thanked him for still thinking about himself, he hurriedly said: "Yes, there are two vacant rooms, but I have to go back and tidy them up. No one has lived in them for too long."

"Don't worry, it will take half a month for them to come."

"Then should we start preparing now?" Zhang Xiaobei asked.

He was also very excited when the crew came to film this event. After all, he had never seen such a scene in his life.

"Almost, there are a lot of people coming in, and it's a mess. The sooner you arrange it, the better."

Zhang Xiaobei nodded in agreement.

There have never been so many outsiders in their village. If they don't make arrangements in advance, mistakes will inevitably occur.

Chang Rubi thought it was very strange to cook the oden.The shop owner had told her before the photo was taken that this time it was not very spicy, and it was a relatively fresh food. He was afraid that she would not like it, so he gave a bottle of chili sauce as a gift.If you feel that the taste is not suitable, you can put some chili sauce into the pot, or dip it.

The moment she received the food, Chang Rubi was not in a hurry to put the chili sauce on.She is very appreciative of the owner's craftsmanship, so even if she knows it is not spicy, she is willing to taste it.And there are always many strange and ancient foods that he has never seen before at the shopkeeper.

She has almost never heard of fish balls, tripe, crab sticks, etc. like last time.

There are these things this time, and there are more white radishes and a small black lump of food.She didn't know what it was, but thought it looked really ugly.A dark piece, neither hard nor soft, very elastic.Gently fiddle with the chopsticks, and the thing trembles twice.

She picked up a piece, endured the awkwardness in her heart, and bit a little bit lightly.I just feel that the taste of this thing does not match its appearance, like the stinky tofu eaten by the owner.It looks ugly and tastes delicious. Although it looks ugly, it still can't hide the deliciousness inside.

After Chang Rubi finished eating one, she felt that it was not enough, so she dipped another piece in chili sauce and tasted it, and she almost burst into tears when it was so spicy.

The chili sauce was made by Zhang Xiaobei himself, using chili grown in the backyard, which is naturally spicier than outside.When handing it over to Chang Rubi, he kindly reminded him.But Chang Rubi felt that she was obviously able to eat spicy food during this time, so she didn't take his words to heart at all.

Until then, her mouth was a little swollen from the hotness, and she felt nothing but regret in her heart.
