Chapter 576

Li Changting is outside to deal with official business. In the space, Xu Qing takes her baby to have nothing to do and starts to toss cakes.

The climate of Lanzhou is warm and humid, so the people here mainly eat sweet potato, rice and corn. There is no wheat. Most people here have never eaten flour.

When Xu Qing planned to make some pasta at the beginning, she wanted to make some pasta. After all, it's rare. Even if she doesn't sell it, she won't worry about popularity.

Later, I thought about why. Originally, people here could not eat pasta at ordinary times. How bad it would be if they could not eat pasta after they liked it once.

Since the people in Lanzhou mainly eat rice, it's better to make some rice based cakes.

Speaking of rice, Xu Qing's first thoughts are frozen rice candy, rice candy and rice candy.

She still remembers that when she was a child, my grandfather would make frozen rice candy every new year. Frozen rice candy is best made of pure glutinous rice, but ordinary rice can also be made of rice candy, but it doesn't have the fragrance of pure glutinous rice.

After a long time, Xu Qing didn't remember much. She wrote down the methods and steps in her memory, and then tried them with a small amount of glutinous rice.

It's not complicated. One steaming, two drying, three frying, four mixing and five cutting. Xu Qing still remembers the basic operation.

First, the glutinous rice is steamed into frozen rice, then the frozen rice is fried into rice flowers, mixed with maltose syrup and sweet scented osmanthus sugar, and finally cut into pieces to eat.

Although it is time-consuming and takes several days to make, it can be done a lot at one time.

It's the same with rice candy. It's just that when making rice candy, you need to fry rice instead of frying. When mixing with syrup, you can also add various ingredients, such as nuts, raisins, sesame, peanuts and so on. The taste will be richer.

Xu Qing made five kinds of frozen rice candy, and tried to stir fry the syrup with the fried rice flower. The taste of the rice candy made from rice was not inferior to that made from glutinous rice.

The ingenious combination of popcorn and maltose has always been a classic food in the south, and this kind of cake can be summed up in four words - crisp and sweet.

It's no exaggeration to say that Xu Qing made hundreds of Jin of rice candy in five days. Instead of using the glutinous rice and rice in the space, she bought it from the local grain shop for processing.

After that, Xu Qing rented a small shop in the market street of Lanzhou City and found someone to clean it up. The next day, he began to sell rice candy.

The sweet smell of rice candy has attracted the attention of many passers-by. For Lanzhou, where the food materials are single and the food varieties are extremely scarce, the taste is simply attractive!

There are large, medium and small portions of rice candy. The cheapest one is two Wen and a small portion. Five pieces of rice candy are neatly cut and wrapped in square paper. A little paste is applied to the seal to stick it. Finally, the red trademark of qingtingfang is stamped on the front.

Xu Qing brought two servants in the Yamen to help her. One was responsible for collecting money, and the other was responsible for wrapping rice candy.

She cut all the rice candy in the wooden plate into thick pieces of the same size, and cut them all at once. The crisp sound was pleasing to the eye.

At the beginning, many people bought small portions to taste fresh food. No matter how poor the people were, they could not afford to spend even two pennies. Even for them, it was the first time that they were used to meeting those vendors who were asking exorbitant prices for such cheap cakes as Xu Qing's.

Because they don't weigh the weight, don't bargain, and don't accept the specified quantity, they all sell according to large, medium and small portions. Customers can take whatever they want, so the selling efficiency is very high.

Xu Qing saw that an adult came to buy rice candy with a child in his arms. He also launched the "buy one get one free". Anyone who brings a child to buy rice candy in the store can give a piece of rice candy to the child free of charge.

A group of children attracted by the fragrance had been greedy for a long time. They all ran back to ask adults to buy rice candy.

The sweet rice candy is crisp, with the fragrance of osmanthus and the pure sweetness of maltose. Children who can only eat it during the Spring Festival hold it as a treasure.

In addition to the common people, there are many people in Lanzhou city who come and go. Many people in Lanzhou city are not bad at the money, and they have several large portions at a time. Moreover, rice sugar is excellent for making dry food.

In the middle of the afternoon, Xu cleared up the stall and sold more than 50 Jin of rice candy today. This amount is not bad. After all, there are few people in the city, so there is no way to do it. If you change it to be in Jizhou, 100 Jin of rice candy won't last all morning.

After closing the shop, Xu Qing settled the day's wages of the two men and rewarded them with a big packet of rice candy.

People who had eaten rice candy that day were full of praise for rice candy, and they began to look forward to the next day when the rice candy shop opened. This time, they must buy a large one, but the small one is not enough.

The next day, when Xu Qing and his staff went to the store to open the door, they saw a long line in front of their store. When they saw her coming, they all gave her eager eyes.

Xu Qing opened the door of the shop. Two men came in carrying two baskets of rice candy and began to work quickly. Xu Qing cut rice candy. They were responsible for packing and selling it at the same time.

When Duanmu Xiang passed by, he came to the store and took two bags. He and a Ying set up a stall on the street next door to see people for free. In the first few days, they were overcrowded. Now there are no more people and they are idle.Today's guests are more enthusiastic than yesterday's, and they spend a lot of money. It's obvious that the small portion can't satisfy their appetite. However, in half a day, Xu Qing sold the remaining 50 Jin of rice candy.

Hang up the exhausted sign at the door, Xu Qing let the man carry the basket back, and then carry the basket to the next street to find a Ying and Duanmu ring.

Not far away, there are several sneaky figures staring at Xu Qing's back for a long time. They have bright eyes and don't know what they are planning. However, before they get close, they are discovered by Hu 12 and 13, who are secretly protecting Xu Qing.

Xu Qing finds duanmuxiang and aying and takes a bag of cherries from the basket to them. It's time to eat cherries. Last night, Li Changting made a jar of cherry wine.

It's just that the cherries sold outside are too sour and sweet in the space.

A Ying asked: "sister Qing, do you still sell rice candy tomorrow? I'll go and help you?"

There is Duanmu ring at the side of the translation, Xu Qing said: "do not sell, I will do a whim, you do not come to set up a stall tomorrow?"

A Ying: "well, there are no patients now. They won't come tomorrow."

Xu Qing: "I'll teach you how to cook tomorrow. Give me a list of dishes you want to learn. I can write a recipe for you. I'll teach you when I have time. If I don't have time, I'll learn from my brother. Anyway, he's idle."

A Ying laughs: "good."

The shop selling rice candy suddenly closed down and stopped doing business. Everyone was a little confused. Such a good business, it was said that if you don't sell it, you won't sell it. Why?! It's incredible.
