Chapter 49 [God of Wealth comes, the house full of gold]
The three of them who haven't seen Liang Kun for a long time felt strange. He changed so much that he was the most ignorant of all the juniors in the family. At home, he never did anything and played and waited for dinner, but now he is heading to another extreme.
No matter how strange it is, everyone will be happy about his change, because no one likes Liang Kun in the past. The elderly hope that their descendants can have a future. The children of the Liang family and the Wang family have no potential for development, so they can only look at their grandchildren.
The rice was just steamed, and several dishes made by Liang Kun were served one after another. The dishes he made were very suitable for the elderly. Everyone tasted a few bites and gave them a collective praise.
There is not much meat in the old vinegar cabbage, which tastes appetizing; the tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and sour; the wood-beard meat has a good color, aroma and taste, and it has the effects of anti-aging and lowering blood sugar; the most beautiful dish is tiger sauce beans, which are made in a variety of ways.
Liang Kun used minced garlic, white sugar, chicken essence, pepper noodles, sesame oil and other ingredients to make a small bowl of "tiger sauce" in the middle of the plate. Liang Shuang was responsible for cutting the beans in the same length, and then Liang Kun arranged the plate exquisitely around the small bowl.
This is a dish that Liang Kun practiced for a while in his previous life. The bean dipping sauce is simple and delicious, creating a "Michelin restaurant" feeling for guests.
Liang Shuang was also praised, and she felt that she had made great efforts and felt very accomplished.
The dessert after meals was hibiscus cake, and everyone ate a lot, and grandma even said she didn't have to eat at night.
In the afternoon, everyone got together to chat. Liang Kun and Liang Guotai played the PS1 game console, which made the other party’s head look green. Even if he did not deliberately practice game skills, it was not something that ordinary people could win after the game talent was improved.
After soaking rice for more than 8 hours at night, Liang Kun began to make rice dumplings with pork belly.
He calculated the pork belly correctly in the afternoon and marinated it with seasonings such as dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, salt, sugar, cooking wine, etc. There are also some requirements. It must be marinated for at least 4 hours before it can be tasted.
He made rice dumplings because he was not proficient enough, so he remembered the steps very clearly. Zheng Hejin was very quick when he wrapped his wrist. He turned his zongzi leaves and rolled them up. He put some glutinous rice underneath, stuffed a piece of meat in the middle, and put some glutinous rice on top. He gently compacted them with his hands, then closed the zongzi leaves and quickly tied them with a rope.
Liang Kun’s movements are correct. He has not practiced his muscle memory and can only take it slowly to avoid affecting the size and shape of the rice dumplings.
"Are you sure this can be eaten? Your grandpa and grandma are old, so don't have any trouble eating it." Liang Guotai frowned, still feeling unreliable, the grey water is too dirty.
Liang Kun explained without rushingly: "This is the method of making gray water zongzi, which is a special snack in the south. The glutinous rice soaked in gray water is not only not dirty, but also dyed a layer of golden yellow. When cooked, it is not only beautiful but also has a strong fragrance, which is much better than ordinary white zongzi."
This is a common sense of life that many people ignore. The ashes formed after the firewood burns are very clean. Due to the tempering of the flames, the dirt inside has been burned.
"I don't believe this will be beautiful. Can you do it?"
"Of course, men can't say they can't."
Liang Kun laughed in his heart. Uncle San would definitely be shocked after a while. When he first saw the method of making gray water zongzi, he didn't expect that the zongzi could be wrapped like this. The person who invented this delicacy was definitely a genius, and the wisdom of the ancients was extraordinary.
Liang Kun stopped after making ten rice dumplings. Everyone ate more at noon, so they could just eat some at night. He put the rice dumplings in the pot and cooked them for an hour, and they were fragrant and out of the pot.
It was already 7:30 pm after the rice dumplings were cooled, and no one urged him to just wait for a taste.
Ten gray water dumplings were scattered by the brother and sister and served them on two plates, and the elders suddenly felt that they were not waiting in vain.
The three people who hadn't seen this were surprised, especially Liang Guotai's expression was very wonderful. "How did he become so beautiful? Are you cooking or doing magic?"
He wondered why the glutinous rice turned into this color without soaking it in gray water. It looked better than the white rice dumplings sold outside.
Liang Kun smiled and said, "This is how gray water zongzi is made. My skills are still far from the best, but they should be at the level of opening a store. Please try it."
The zongzi is golden all over, with a clear surface, and looks very delicate and small. Food is judged from three aspects: color, fragrance and taste. The zongzi made by Liang Kun is a work of art, with the simplest and gorgeousness.
Liu Wenjuan put a rice dumpling in the bowl. She could smell a faint fragrance of grass and trees without bowing her head, and a fresh astringent smell and a faint sauce aroma mixed in between. It was very unique. After taking a bite, the amazement on her face became stronger.
Nothing else, the rice dumplings have a soft and smooth texture. First, I tasted a little sweetness of glutinous rice, but then astringent astringent feeling of the end. Finally, there is a strong sauce and meaty flavor that cannot be melted. The rich juice fills the mouth, making people feel endless aftertaste.
Liang Dahe ate half a zongzi in one breath before putting down his chopsticks and praised: "Good guy, it turns out that the zongzi I used to be cheating people. This is so delicious. I ate so much at noon, but now I have an appetite again."
"We ate this last night." Liang Guohui also praised: "I may not get tired of eating this every day. Last year I said he was a chef's ingredient, and it was true."
Liang Guotai gave a thumbs up and agreed: "It's a waste of talent if he doesn't become a chef."
Liang Kun complained in his heart: You used to think that I couldn’t get into college and wanted me to go to Xianglan Technical School to apply for a chef class. Why has you become a wise person now?
Eating all the food is the best praise for the chef, and ten rice dumplings were quickly dealt with. Grandpa and grandma no longer ate meat. They would feel uncomfortable if they eat it too greasy, but they didn’t feel uncomfortable after eating the meat dumplings.
After dinner, everyone chatted and asked Liang Kun what price he wanted to sell.
"The method is different, so we sell it more expensively, just five yuan each, write a sign and stand it there, it won't be delicious!" Liang Kun was very confident. He had never eaten such delicious rice dumplings before.
Furong cake is easy to buy, and it is enough to sell it with Zheng Hejin’s small shop at the same price, which costs half a pound of ten yuan and half a pound of eighteen yuan per pound. They don’t open a store, and they are located at the entrance of a scenic spot with a lot of customer traffic, and the taste is good and can be sold at this price.
Liang Kun's snack making skills have been improved to 68% of the D-level, and he continues to make rice dumplings at night. It's not too much of an accident. He can be upgraded to level C in less than a week. Moreover, with the assistance of the system, the two snacks he makes now taste good, and they can open a store level. It's not a loss to eat carefully prepared snacks for five yuan each.
In addition to the rice dumplings, Liang Kun also made pumpkin porridge with good taste, and everyone praised him for his sensibility and filial piety.
What is the most important thing for a family? If the family cannot live in harmony, even if they are rich and noble, they will feel as if they are dead. If the family does not have laughter and joy, even if they are rich and well-behaved, they will be boring. Liang Kun likes his current life very much and does not have to wait for the holidays, and a group of people can gather together to have dinner and chat.
When he was 26 and 27, the two elders passed away one after another, and everyone gradually couldn't get together, and life became more and more boring. In 8 years, Liang Kun would find ways to keep his grandfather and grandma healthy and live a long life.
The good news is that they don’t get serious illness. If they are not feeling well, they will probably not be able to go to the hospital immediately. They died in the parallel world because the older generation felt sorry for money and liked to drag them if they are sick, and they dragged their minor illness into serious illness.
The next day, the three of them took the prepared rice dumplings to Daming Lake.
The brother and sister are riding bicycles, and Liang Guotai is riding a tricycle to pull goods. The brother and sister are working hard in the past few months and have to go to class during the day. They have been used to getting up early and sleeping for six hours a day is enough. Only Liang Guotai is very uncomfortable.
He hadn't worked hard for a long time, and he developed the habit of sleeping in at home for a year. In order to make money, he still endured his sleepiness and got up because Liang Kun's goal was to make 400 yuan a day. If he could do it, they would get rich.
Liang Guotai thinks that a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan means making a fortune. The salary of an office worker who just graduated in 2001 is usually only a few hundred yuan. Liang Kun made 100 rice dumplings last night. The price is not high these days, and it is sold for five yuan per person. If the cost is removed, it is not considered manpower and material resources. If you sell well, it means you make a lot of money.
Zongzi is sold in cold food, and hibiscus cake is even more gimmick. Liang Kun brought the stove and pot to prepare it on site. After finding that the kitchen utensils at home were complete, he happily decided to show off his skills. He had absolute confidence in the taste of snacks. Even if others sold them cheaply, it might become worthless compared with him.
Liang Kun took into account all the situations. He brought several rectangular small cake boxes to put samples for people to try, and could cover them with a lid so that they would not be targeted by flies. There were also complete rice dumplings placed there to make people look at them. The same is true for hibiscus cake, large and small samples.
After the sign was written, Liang Shuang painted it black with a signature pen, and it was clear at a glance that "the God of Wealth is coming, and the house is full of gold."
The name of Zongzi is called this. People will think it is auspicious to eat it. It is an advertisement.
Liang Kun remembers that some people in the south of the parallel world called this name, which is popular. Strictly speaking, gray water zongzi is made of gray water with "golden firewood", so it is called this name. Zheng Hejin is not the most authentic one.
This botany is called vitiligo, and its fruit is called gold. Golden wood contains a flammable oily substance. It can be used to ignite the fire with dry straw. After it is completely burned into ashes, put the ash into a sieve and pour water and filter it. The golden wood wood ash water will be made.
It is not easy to buy gold firewood in Quancheng, and Liang Kun is too lazy to make such trouble. He uses sesame stalks like the Zheng family, and the rice dumplings he made are of similar quality.
What’s funny is that Liang Kun is not afraid of not being able to make money, the only thing he is a little worried about is that the media is talking nonsense.
Nowadays, the urban management team in Quancheng has not yet been trained to become an invincible strong army, and there are almost no unlicensed operations. There are people setting up stalls everywhere. However, if Liang Kun becomes the top scorer in the liberal arts, not to mention the country, even if he is only the top scorer in the province, he will definitely be on the news.
What is this situation? The first scholar sells snacks on the street without a license!
Liang Kun thought of this possibility, but did not give up his plan. Anyway, there were a group of people selling snacks on the whole street. Then he would say that he had a shallow life experience and didn't know.
Chapter completed!
