mad dog plus three

Jiasan originally planned to make steamed dumplings, which are easy to make and convenient for people to buy, but without a steamer, they had to settle for the next best thing and chose iron plate dumplings.

Jia's mother and Jia's grandmother are both used to doing housework, and they rushed out 230 dumplings not long after returning to the manor.

Jiasan had the cheek to borrow a trolley from the kitchen. Aunt Marlene, who was in charge of the kitchen, saw that the magician seeds needed to be used, so she directly borrowed him a carriage, and not only promised to send him and his things to the commercial area of ​​the city, but also agreed to have dinner Pick him up before.

Kenneth has been paying close attention to these three newly arrived magician seeds. Seeing that Jia’s family is going to start a business, he thought they were still hesitating whether to live in the city or farm, so he also provided convenience and asked the driver to take them to the business. The busiest part of the street.

This land was specially opened up by the owner of the castle, Earl Harder, for the sale of food from non-city vendors. It happened to be an open space at the crossroads. People came and went. It used to be the free market of the castle.

The coachman stopped the carriage, pointed to a space big enough for ten people and said, "This is specially set aside by Mr. Steward for His Excellency's use. Do you like it?"

Of course, Jiasan agrees. The place specially approved by the housekeeper is located on the side of the street. It is difficult for the guests to miss this stall if they miss it.

The coachman intentionally flattered the future Master Mage, and graciously helped the Jia family move all the equipment and materials, and helped them arrange them. He also specially greeted the patrolling city guards and asked them to take care of the Jia family.

The city guards nodded to Jiasan and passed in a line with no expression on their faces.

Jiajia didn’t bring many things, including dumplings in a wooden box, a small stove, a bag of coal, a frying pan with a cover, and a stack of shallow wooden plates, plus a shovel for frying steak, and the same as before. Use the remaining half bucket of drinking water.

Regardless of the fact that the tableware that the earl provided to the magician seeds was all silverware, the mainstream tableware used by civilians is still mainly wooden and pottery, and porcelain seems to be missing.

Jiasan told Aunt Marlene that he wanted to borrow tableware, and Aunt Marlene lent him a set of wooden plates used by the servants every day.

Everything was ready, the coachman made another appointment with Jiasan to pick him up, and soon he drove the carriage away, Jia's grandma and Jia's mother had already started to burn the stove.

This kind of small drum-shaped stove is said to have been invented by magicians, but magicians made alchemy equipment, and ordinary people only borrowed the shape and certain principles.

The stove is made of pottery clay, covered with a layer of iron sheets, and divided into three sections, the top is a shelf for pots and iron plates, the middle section is filled with coal, and the bottom section is used to drain ashes.

There is ready-made coal in the stove, just put new charcoal in it. When the stove is booming, Jiasan will instruct Jiajia grandma to wipe the bottom and sides of the pot with an oil cloth to save fuel, and then arrange the raw dumplings in neatly. Then pour water that has covered one-third of the dumplings, cover the pot, put it on the stove, and that's it.

Jiasan told his family members that he learned this method from the pharmacist, and Jiasan's family did not doubt it.

"Wait for about 5 minutes, don't worry about it when the water is boiling, start frying oil until there is almost no water left in the pan, and then start to pay attention to the heat, be careful not to burn, wait until the oil is not fried, and smell burnt aroma, This iron plate dumpling... the crescent moon meat pie is almost ready."

The crescent moon patty was named by Jia’s grandma, because the wrapped dumplings look like a small, fat crescent moon.Grandma Jia said that since it is teppanyaki, it is inappropriate to call it soup cake, and if it is to be sold, it must have a nicer name.

The method of stuffing fried dumplings is very simple. You can listen to it once with grandma and mother, and then do it yourself. There is no need to add three things.

"San'er, let's go play, as long as there are me and your grandma here." Mother Jia felt sorry for her son and drove him to play.

Although Jiasan has the heart to explore this city, he also wants to learn about the development level of the world, etc., and then find out what can make Jia's family make money without being too eye-catching.But the business hasn't opened yet, so he doesn't want to leave the stall right now.

"No, let's see if this sizzling crescent moon cake can be made, if not, let's change it to something else."

"It should be possible. We used to use slate and iron plates to fry fish and meat pancakes. I never thought of using it to fry soup pancakes. Grandma had never heard of this thing before. Everyone will try it if it is new. And There are quite a lot of people in the city, so you shouldn’t have to worry about selling it.”

"Hey, there aren't too many people today. You guys are late. If it was a month ago, when Mr. Magician summoned Harder City and nearby residents to test the talents of magicians, tsk tsk, it would be really lively!" The street vendor next to him had wanted to strike up a conversation with the Jia family since seeing the Jia family brought over in a carriage with the earl's family emblem, and finally got the chance to intervene.

The Jia family looked at him.

The uncle in his 40s greeted them familiarly, "You also rushed into the city because you heard that the Duke is coming?"

Jia's mother smiled and replied: "Yes, I heard that the adult likes delicious food. My mother happens to know a little hometown snacks, so I want to try it."

The uncle who was familiar with him wanted to ask more about the relationship between Jia’s family and the castle, so he chatted with Jia’s mother and grandma, and from their accents, he could tell that they were foreigners, so he talked about a lot of local things.

The Jia family urgently needed to know these things, so naturally they didn't refuse the uncle's kindness.I just plan to wait until the first pot of dumplings is ready, and give it to this uncle as a favor.

The uncle is also a warm person, so he took the initiative to invite his family to taste their food, a kind of mushroom soup.

Grandma Jia and Mother Jia took a small sip, and gave the remaining half of the bowl to Jiasan.Add three drinks, not to mention, it's really delicious.

Seeing Jiasan’s thumbs up, the familiar uncle proudly told Jias family that he was able to set up a stall here, but he defeated many colleagues who made mushroom soup.

After the uncle’s explanation, Jia’s family found out that these gourmet vendors had passed a selection before setting up their stalls here, and they had to taste the food to be tasted by the officials in charge of the gourmet stall area first. Set up a stall here.

Those who did not pass the selection, or did not even have the qualifications for selection, would be placed in the civilian areas or poor areas of the city to set up stalls.

Dare to feel that the place where they set up their stalls now belongs to the commercial street in the wealthy area, and it is also the place where the Duke is most likely to come.After all, as the duke, if he can lead his subordinates to the rich business district, he is considered close to the people. If he really wants to go to the civilian area or the poor area, I am afraid that if he wants to go, his subordinates and servants will try their best to stop him.

"Huh? What's the smell? It smells so good!" A passer-by passed by Jia's stall and suddenly raised his nose to sniff.

At this time, Jiajia's pan had started to boil water, and the aroma came out along the lid.

Relying on his good sense of smell, the passer-by found the target accurately and came over to ask what Jia's family was doing.

Jia's family replied that it was sizzling crescent moon patties.

The name is novel, and the taste is so delicious. The passer-by heard that he only had to wait a few minutes, and he stood by the side of the stall.

Not long after, the pan started to fry the oil, and now the special burnt aroma became more obvious and more attractive.

Jiasan couldn't help but sniffled. In his previous life, he often made fried dumplings at home, but except for the moment when the pot was boiling, it didn't seem to have such a strong fragrance.

Is it because the food here is more natural?Or is the lid of the pan not tight enough?

But the food is not so delicious because it is pure natural. On the contrary, many foods that he thought were delicious at that time have been cultivated for many years, and the taste is far from the original natural species.

The fragrance attracted more passers-by, and even the old man who came here said repeatedly: "It smells so good."

Grandma Jia was happy to see so many guests being attracted, but also a little worried.

Jiasan took the pan to check the heat, and saw that the water inside was almost dry, so he lifted the lid off.

This uncovering was incredible, and the aroma that had been suffocated before burst out like this.

The aroma floated far away, attracting many people to look here.

Jiasandai: This fragrance seems a bit exaggerated.

Jia's grandma and Jia's mother had never cooked similar food, and they thought that pan-fried meatloaf was like this, so they swallowed together.

The guests also acted in the same way as the Jia family.

The first customer who was waiting couldn't wait to urge his family: "Hurry up, give me one plate first, no, two plates!"

The guests behind also crowded up, and they all said that they wanted a plate to taste.

Mother Jia hurriedly responded, "Wait a minute, it will be ready soon."

Grandma Jia took over the frying pan from her grandson. Based on her many years of cooking experience, she was sure that the crescent moon cakes were already cooked, and the next step was to shovel them out of the pan.

The pans in this world are not non-stick pans, even if they are oiled in advance, it takes a little skill to shovel the dumplings off.

Jiasan reminded Grandma Jia, seeing that Grandma Jia was much more flexible than him in playing with the shovel, so she obediently shut up.

"A plate of seven crescent meat pies, only five copper coins! Buyers, please wait in line. The first pot comes out, and the second pot only needs to wait for seven or eight minutes." Jiasan yelled and opened.

The first customer in line was afraid that someone would take his first place, so he quickly took out ten copper coins and threw them to Jiasan.

Mother Jia handed the plate to Grandma Jia, and Grandma Jia counted out fourteen dumplings. According to her grandson's instructions, she turned the spatula on the plate in reverse, so that the browned and crispy side of the dumplings would face upwards. It makes people look more appetizing.

When the guest got the dumplings, he didn't care about burning them, so he picked one up and stuffed it into his mouth.

Jiasan yelled at the right time: "Be careful of burning your mouth!"

The guest then slowed down a little, blew and blew, and took a bite.

"...Delicious!" The guest's eyes lit up, and he stuffed it into his mouth one by one, and shouted to Jia's family while stuffing it: "Give me three more dishes!"

Add three: It's really hot, if you eat it too fast, it will burn the palate.

Just look at the expression of the first customer, and the customers behind will not worry about the taste.

"You just let it go! If you want to eat all you want, a pot of crescent meat pies is only as much as you want, and I'll sell them all to you. What shall we eat!" The guests behind squeezed the first one.

In a daze, Grandma Jia left a plate of dumplings from the first pot and asked Jiasan to give it to Uncle Zilaishu.

Uncle Zilaishu was so greedy that he waved his hands again and again, asking them to sell to customers first.

Jia San insisted on leaving the dumplings to him.

The uncle refused, but he tasted it happily. As soon as he ate one, he gave three thumbs up and praised vaguely: "It's delicious, it's delicious! It's so fresh!"

Jiasan felt that the facial expressions and compliments of this familiar adult and the first customer were too exaggerated, but it was just a pot of stuffed fried dumplings, even if it was made with grandma, it tasted very good, without chicken essence, monosodium glutamate, tender meat powder, pork skin jelly and other seasonings Now, it is impossible to say how delicious this minced meat can be, at most it is a home-cooked taste.

But these two were not the only ones who said it was delicious and showed exaggerated expressions. The guests who grabbed the first pot of dumplings afterward were all so intoxicated that they didn't leave after eating one by one, insisting on waiting for the second and third pots.

The delicious smell of the food and the scrambling of the guests quickly surrounded Jia's small stall.

Jiasan had to come forward to maintain order and let the guests line up, otherwise these guests would fight first.

But there were still quite a few noisy guests, and many of them were servants of a certain noble family. These people were not of high status, but they liked to compare their master's family background.Small businessmen and civilians who are still relatively wealthy have to wait further behind.

In addition to ordinary people and servants of noble families, there are also real nobles and castle officials passing by to watch the excitement, so they ask the servants to come over to find out what's going on, and if they are curious, they will also ask the servants to buy some to taste.

There are not fewer people in line, but more.

It just so happened that some of the guests in front wanted more after they had finished eating, while the servants of those nobles bought dozens of them as soon as they bought them.

Seeing that Jiajia's dumplings are about to bottom out before they go into the pot.

Grandma Jia and Mother Jia were very busy. Originally, they had planned to eat at home if they couldn't sell them all, but now they only looked at the enthusiasm of the first wave of customers, and it was impossible to sell anything.

It was a pity in my heart before the addition of three, but it was a pity that they were too hasty to prepare, and they didn't have any dipping ingredients, so they could only rely on the taste of the dumpling filling itself to win.

But now... Looking at those guests who got the dumplings and ate them with their hands, and didn't praise them after eating, I thought twice, maybe their fried dumplings don't need to prepare dipping sauce for the time being.

As for tableware such as knives, forks, chopsticks, etc., there is no need for it. Nowadays, people pay attention to being close to nature, and the correct way to eat is to directly touch food with fingers. Forks are not very popular yet. The tableware that Earl supplies the magician seeds is mainly table knives. , a spoon as a supplement.

The servants of the noble family will bring their own lunch boxes to buy, and they don't have to take away the wooden dishes borrowed by Jia's family.

The speed of dividing and eating dumplings is very fast. In comparison, the speed of frying dumplings is astonishingly slow.

But the customers who had finished eating in front refused to leave, and the customers behind heard the bustle or smelled the aroma and queued up, which made the line in front of Jia's small stall longer and longer.

The guards patrolling the city were alarmed and came in a hurry. They were relieved to see that everyone was orderly.But the city guards didn't leave right away, they stayed nearby for quite a while.

There were probably patrolling city guards, and some people who were unwilling to line up did not dare to make trouble anymore. Finally, Jia's family was allowed to continue the business smoothly.

Jiasan was dumbfounded watching this scene, unbelievably ignoring the eyes of the customers, snatched a dumpling just out of the pan, blew it, and put it in his mouth.

Um?It seems really delicious!

Jiasan couldn't say it, he didn't even know how to comment, he felt that when the dumpling was put into his mouth, first a burnt smell rushed into his mouth, and when he bit the dumpling and chewed, there was an indescribable fresh smell. The fragrance explodes in the mouth.

This taste, absolutely!
