The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

Chapter 113 I won’t treat you badly

The bucket was placed aside, and Shen Yan turned around and returned to the wooden cart.

She first wiped the dust off the car body with a handkerchief, then picked up a washing brush and dipped it in clean water.

The fine bristles moved across the surface of the cart, removing layer after layer of dirt.

Shen Yan worked attentively, stopping from time to time to check the scrubbing results to ensure that every corner was cleaned thoroughly.

The wooden surface of the cart gradually revealed its original luster, as if it had been baptized by time, exuding a faint fragrance.

Shen Yan's movements were gentle yet powerful. She seemed to be talking to the cart, carefully caring for this companion who had been with her for many years.

After scrubbing, Shen Yan rinsed the surface of the cart with clean water to ensure that there was no residual soap.

Then she took a clean cloth and carefully wiped every detail until the cart was completely dry and smooth as new.

Finally, Shen Yan carefully checked every part of the cart to make sure nothing was missed.

Looking at her work with satisfaction, she pushed the cart back into the house contentedly.

Finally, Shen Yan installed a sign on the cart. The sign had been made by a carpenter a long time ago. The name of it was "Xiangxiang Shop", which was in line with Shen Yan's style of selling food at a stall.

When Wang Jun came back, he saw his sister and younger sister were tired and out of breath. He thought something had happened. After asking, he found out that these two people had cleaned the dining car, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

After Shen Yan finished fixing the car, she wanted to make some braised pork and sell it the next day. This time, she planned to make some braised large intestine.

When Shen Yan was preparing to make braised pig intestines, she first carefully selected fresh pig intestines, then washed them, and soaked them in clean water to remove any remaining odor and impurities.

As she washed, she gently massaged the large intestine, making sure every inch was thoroughly cleaned.

Put the cleaned large intestine into the pot, add enough water, some ginger slices, scallion segments, white wine and a little salt, and boil over medium heat.

Shen Yan gently skimmed off the foam, then turned to low heat and simmered it to make the large intestine more tender.

During the stewing process, Shen Yan prepared some seasonings, including star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, peppercorns, etc., as well as her own secret marinade.

She put the seasonings into another pot, added water, and brought them to a boil, then simmered over low heat to allow the aromas to fully blend.

When the large intestine is stewed until it is soft and glutinous and exudes a strong meaty aroma, Shen Yan takes it out and puts it into the marinade to cook.

She carefully controlled the heat so that the large intestine would absorb enough flavor but not be overcooked.

After taking out the cooked braised large intestine, Shen Yan placed it on a wooden plate and sprinkled some chopped green onions and coriander on it to add a beautiful touch of color.

She used a knife to cut the large intestine into even pieces, each piece was plump and tender.

Finally, Shen Yan put the carefully prepared braised large intestines into a small cart and covered it with a clean cloth.

The aroma is so fragrant that it attracts the attention of many passers-by.

After it was done, Shen Yan thought that it would be great if he could make Roujiamo in the future. It would be cheap, taste good, and he could sell more of it. So, Shen Yan began to think about how to make Roujiamo.

The idea of ​​making roujiamo came to Shen Yan's mind, so she began to think carefully about the process.

She knew that the key to roujiamo lies in the stewing of the meat and the making of the steamed bun, so she decided to start with the meat first.

Shen Yan chose the pork, washed it and cut it into pieces, then marinated it with some secret seasoning.

She prepared a unique marinade, adding spices such as ginger slices, scallions, star anise, and cinnamon, so that the meat can fully absorb these flavors.

Then, Shen Yan put the marinated meat into the pot, added water, and simmered it slowly over low heat.

She carefully adjusted the heat to ensure the meat was fragrant, tender and tasty, but not overcooked.

During the stewing process, Shen Yan repeatedly tried to adjust the proportions of the seasonings to make the meat taste richer and more in line with her own taste.

She kept tasting and adjusting until she achieved what she thought was perfect.

When the meat was cooked to perfection, Shen Yan took it out and set it aside to cool.

Then, she started making steamed buns. Shen Yan carefully selected the flour, added the right amount of water and yeast, kneaded it into dough, and let it ferment until it was fluffy.

Shen Yan divided the fermented dough into small pieces, then rolled them into thin round cakes and put them into a pan to bake.

She controls the heat so that the steamed bun is golden and crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside.

Finally, when the meat and steamed bun were ready, Shen Yan put the meat into the steamed bun and wrapped it up gently.

She has a skilled technique and every roujiamo she makes is beautiful in shape and fragrant.

Shen Yan placed the carefully prepared roujiamo on a plate and gave it to her younger brother and sister.

They took a bite and immediately found it chewy and fragrant.

His younger brother and sister all gave him thumbs up and praised him highly. Shen Yan's efforts were rewarded in the best way.

Shen Yan thought that if her younger brothers and sisters thought the taste was good, she could sell the roujiamo outside in the future. But now, there are more and more diners, and Shen Yan feels that she can't handle it alone, so she thought about finding a helper.

Wang Jun is in school now and doesn't have much time. Shen Yan feels that she cannot delay her brother's studies, and Wang Lin is still young and cannot do any work, so Shen Yan doesn't want to tire her out.

So, after much thought, I decided to ask an adult for help.

As she was thinking, Shen Yan thought of Sister Xiaolan, with whom she had a good relationship. Sister Xiaolan was a nice person, but a little honest. When Shen Yan first came here, she helped Shen Yan a lot.

So that day, taking advantage of the night, Shen Yan came to Sister Xiaolan's house.

Shen Yan gently knocked on Sister Xiaolan's door. After a while, the door opened, revealing a friendly smiling face. It was Sister Xiaolan.

"Shen Yan, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet? Is something wrong?" Sister Xiaolan asked puzzledly.

Shen Yan smiled and said, "Sister Xiaolan, I have something I want to discuss with you. Is it convenient for you?"

Sister Xiaolan kindly invited Shen Yan into the house, enthusiastically made a cup of tea, and asked with concern: "Tell me, I will do my best to help you if you have any difficulties."

After Shen Yan sat down, she said seriously, "I've been making some braised pork and roujiamo recently, and the business is getting better and better, but I can't handle it alone, so I want to find a helper. Sister Xiaolan, are you willing to help me? Of course, I will pay you a reasonable wage."

After hearing this, Sister Xiaolan hesitated. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Shen Yan, I want to help you, but I also have things to do at home, and I have never done this before, so I don't know if it's possible."

Shen Yan smiled and comforted him, "It's okay, I will teach you, and I can help you with your family affairs as much as possible. As long as you are willing, we will work hard together and our business will definitely be better. Of course, I will definitely not treat you unfairly in terms of wages."
