Chapter 114 Early Opening
The meat grinder was completed on the third day after the order was placed. It was made of iron and was delivered to our door.
Mu Lao was very satisfied with the finished product. After his careful consideration, the design inside was spiral-shaped and a blade was added at the exit.
They first made a model out of wood, and after the test proved feasible, they finally used iron to make it.
The whole thing is very heavy, looks very heavy, strong and sharp. The only drawback is that it is easy to rust. After use, it must be cleaned and dried in time.
The two machines cost a total of 1 tael of silver, which is a bit expensive, but also expected. After all, the price of iron is very high, and there are also research and development costs and labor costs.
After getting it, Xu Si tried using it to stir meat filling and found it was indeed very useful.
The meat filling is clearly granular and only needs to be chopped again to reach the desired consistency, which greatly saves time and manpower.
When the employees were decided, Lou Yuexin and Su Jinyue estimated their sizes by eye and started preparing work uniforms.
When they started work, they were asked to change into their clothes, and the four of them were very grateful.
Although they are work clothes, you can tell at a glance that they are made with great care, the stitching is fine and the clothes are very thick.
They also heard about the work uniforms of a certain restaurant. In this county, they were the only ones in red, which increased their popularity in another way.
But after all, they are a family, and as outsiders, they have never thought about the possibility that they might have the same experience.
Xiaoyu feels extremely happy now. Although her family dotes on her, she only gets a new piece of clothing during the Chinese New Year. This is already much better than most people.
When she is happy, she likes to talk more, almost non-stop from morning to night, and keeps a lively attitude towards everything.
Sometimes when Xu Si felt that she was noisy, he would stuff her with some delicious food, thinking that she would just focus on eating and stop talking.
It turned out that she was overthinking it. After the little girl ate, she started praising him in various ways. At this time, she inexplicably didn't think it was noisy anymore, and even felt that she could say a little more.
The other three people also cherish this job very much. In the past two days, their meals were all boxed lunches from a restaurant.
Unlike guests who usually only pick three dishes, they can order a little of each dish and eat as much as they want as long as there is no waste, which is very satisfying.
Xu Si stated in advance that one’s portion of the food could not be taken home, otherwise it would disrupt order.
Miao Hong had this idea at first, wanting to save the money for her daughter and grandson. But before she could put it into practice, she learned about this statement and gave up in embarrassment.
There is no need to worry about the food going bad even when it’s cold, as most hot pot ingredients can be prepared a day in advance.
In addition to the fish balls, fish tofu and tempura she made last time, she has also developed stuffed fish balls, purple sweet potato balls, sausages, fish roe lucky bags, egg dumplings, pork and mushroom balls and crispy bone balls.
The only difference between stuffed fish balls and fish balls is the filling. Just use the pork filling used to make dumplings.
Purple sweet potato balls are also her favorite, and she always has to pick up two when eating spicy hot pot.
The method is very simple. Steam the purple sweet potato, mash it into a paste, add appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour and sugar, knead it into small balls, wrap it with glutinous rice that has been soaked for an hour in advance, put it in a pot with cold water, and steam it for 15 minutes.
The finished purple sweet potato balls are sweet, soft and glutinous, with a strong purple sweet potato flavor. They are filling and not easy to make you feel sick.
It is quite troublesome to make the intestines, mainly because you have to tie them into small sections with thread.
The fish roe lucky bag is also delicious. She was quite resistant to it at first, thinking that the fish roe was weird, but she fell in love with it after trying it once.
Cut the tofu into thick slices, put it into the oil when it is 50% hot, and cook until it changes color and sets into a crust. After taking it out of the pot, put it into boiling water and cook on medium heat for one minute. Take it out and let it cool for later use.
After using a meat grinder to grind the fish meat, continue to chop it into fish paste, add fish roe, salt, sugar, white pepper, corn starch, water soaked in advance for onion, ginger and garlic, and an egg, and mix well.
Cut the tofu in half, add the fish paste, tie the bag with gourd strips, put it into boiling water and cook over medium heat for ten minutes, until cooked through and floating.
The fish roe she chose is crucian carp roe. As the saying goes, eat crucian carp in winter and carp in summer. After the beginning of winter is the spawning period of crucian carp, and crucian carp generally have fish roe in winter.
The finished fish roe lucky bag looks cute, like a lucky bag that is stuffed full, and the filling is also amazing.
Use a piece of fat to lubricate the spoon, scoop a spoonful of egg liquid, turn it directly on the fire, and when it is formed, put the seasoned meat filling on it, close it, and fry it again.
The finished egg dumplings cannot be eaten directly as the meat filling inside is not cooked yet. They are perfect for cooking again when eating hot pot.
The crispy bone balls are made with chicken breast meat, and the crispy bones inside are exactly the granules chopped from the tips of the chicken breast bones, which are also fried.
In addition, duck blood, tripe, pork belly, crispy pork, tofu puff, rattle rolls, dried tofu, wide noodles and other items are also prepared.
The soy products were naturally bought from Uncle Yang's house. Although it was an extra job for them, they were happy to do it and gave a preferential price.
