NOVEL NEXT Chapter 156 Lamb Chop Buns
Back in Lihua Town, the shops were crowded with customers who wanted to buy vegetarian cakes such as green dumplings and jujube cakes.
Mao Xi took over and started kneading the dough, letting everyone on the morning shift go to rest.
Yaomei and Dajiang had already arrived at the shop in advance, and Ah Xing kept pouring lemonade to the waiting customers.
Fortunately, Xiao Qing and Lou Lan'er are already very skilled in making fruit, so Shu Xi doesn't have to worry at all.
"Sister Lan'er, have there been so many people buying fruits since this morning?"
Lou Lan'er had just finished washing her hands and was about to knead the dough: "The number of people started to increase in the afternoon. Some people came to eat. After eating, they would take some fruits home. There are not enough manpower."
"You guys go and rest first."
The morning and evening shift breaks have only been tested for one day today, and customers have to queue up. It seems that the working system of full shift plus lunch break will be adopted in the future.
Although she was a little tired, Mao Xi preferred to deal with food than romance.
She asked Mu Zhiyuan to go back to the palace to rest first, but Lu Da was not in the shop in the afternoon, so Mu Zhiyuan took Lu Da's place and sold coffee for him in the coffee room.
The coffee room is Luda's paradise at Liuxiang Snacks. He was worried that Mu Zhiyuan could not make coffee well, so he worriedly said: "Brother Mu, can you make hand-brewed coffee? How about I show you how to do it?"
Mu Zhiyuan took the bean grinder from Luda's hand and said, "Don't underestimate me. I'll brew it once. Can you take a look?"
He then started grinding the beans, boiling water, brewing them, and whipping the milk, all at once.
"How is it? This should taste good, right?"
Lu Da teased: "It seems that Brother Mu has been practicing a lot."
So Mu Zhiyuan stopped at the coffee shop, and the waiter at the take-out window of Liuxiang Snacks changed from a burly man to a handsome young man.
The young ladies who were waiting for the fruit cakes in the outer hall immediately moved to the outside of the store and queued up at the outside dining area of the coffee room.
There were fewer people in the outer hall, and Mao Xi's pressure was much less.
Zhang Xiucai has been keeping accounts in the shop since morning.
In the afternoon, Mao Xi asked him to go back to the inn to rest: "Xiucai, I have half a day off today. Why don't you go for an outdoor hike."
Zhang Xiucai handed the account book back to Shu Xi and asked, "Do you want Brother Mu to help you keep track of today's accounts?"
Ma Xi nodded. Zhang Xiucai had just gone to the coffee room and saw Mu Zhiyuan making hand-brewed coffee for a group of women queuing up. Then he returned to the kitchen and said, "Ah Ma, Brother Mu may not be free, so I'll do the accounting. There’s nothing else to do today, I’ll leave in the evening when it’s not busy.”
Mao Xi was busy making youth balls. She looked at Zhang Xiucai gratefully: "Xiucai, I will give you a half-day holiday tomorrow. Come back to the shop in the afternoon."
Not long after, Mrs. Chen took Ajiao back to the shop, and Xiaodouzi followed.
With Xiaodouzi helping to knead the dough, Mao Xi felt much more relaxed.
She took the time to go to the space and planted the newly purchased blind box seeds.
There was a dough kneading machine for sale in Wanmian Mall, which cost 20 taels each. Ma Xi gritted his teeth and bought it.
After that, she only needs to knead the dough to make cakes. She uses a kneader to mix it and then puts it in the kitchen to rest.
This frees up her shoulders.
Xiaodouzi saw her sister beating her left shoulder: "Sister, take a rest. I think Brother Mu needs help."
Mao Xi gave his brother the work he was doing and took the finished fruits to the outside window.
Mu Zhiyuan didn't need help at all. The people queuing up at the food window were all young ladies and young women, all coming to buy the hand-brewed coffee he made.
Mao Xi took over the work from Mu Zhiyuan and asked him to sit aside and help distribute fruit cakes to the diners who bought fruit.
When grinding beans, you can’t keep grinding them with one person!
Her method of brewing coffee is much faster than Mu Zhiyuan's.
While handing the coffee to the diners, Mao Xi said: "Liu Xiang Snacks has fewer varieties of fruits. If you like it, you can go to Liu's Fruit Cake in the market. There are more choices there!"
The two took turns with each other, one grinding beans and the other brewing coffee. After an hour and a half, the queue at the food window disappeared.
However, I also sold 20 bags of coffee beans today, and the results were good.
"Brother Mu, how about you and Brother Luda come to my place to sell coffee together in the future? You two work together and sell more, and I will give you a monthly salary?"
Mu Zhiyuan couldn't ask for it. He had previously helped Mao Xi cook in the old shop.
"Are you serious?"
Mu Xi nodded, thinking that Butler Wang would not object now. Every day when Brother Mu returns to the palace, Mu Xi would ask him to bring some wine and dishes to Butler Wang.
"Well! Butler Wang won't come back to drag you back now, will he?"
Mu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "He is waiting for me to bring your side dishes to match his wine every day. How can he object? Are there pig ears today? He likes it very much."
"There are pig ears. Brother Mu, are you hungry? I'm not busy now. I'll make some snacks for you."
Mu Zhiyuan relaxed his muscles and bones. He didn't expect that the small bean grinder would torture him all afternoon. This was more tiring than going out to spy on news.
"I want to eat mutton. Is there any new way to make it?"
After returning to the kitchen, he took out a few lamb chops and started marinating them. Ma Xi said proudly, "I'll bake a 'lamb chop bun'. It's simple and delicious." "
Then start kneading the dough and preparing the bun skin.
Baked buns are similar to grilled lamb chops. The difference is that the whole lamb chops and fried fillings are wrapped in the bun wrapper. The lamb chop ribs are exposed at the corner of the bun wrapper. Finally, some white sesame seeds are sprinkled on the bun wrapper. superior.
After wrapping the lamb chops, Mao Xi placed the buns on the kiln wall one by one, and then sprinkled salt water on the buns.
The process of waiting for delicious food is the most difficult.
Especially for Mu Zhiyuan, mutton is his favorite.
Before the buns were baked, he could already hear the sound of the mutton sizzling with oil in the oven.
The spices inside and the mutton chops are roasted on the kiln wall, releasing the delicious aroma of cumin and mutton. This taste is simply invincible.
However, Lu Da and Lou Lan'er were not in the shop at the moment, otherwise the mutton chop buns that Mao Xi baked might not be enough to eat.
Mao Xi held a leaking net in his left hand and a long-handled wooden stick in his right hand. He wrapped the roasted lamb chops one by one, pried them off from the furnace wall, and connected them with the net bag.
Mu Zhiyuan grabbed Baozitou's lamb ribs and started to chew on them.
Xiaodouzi and Yaomei Dajiang followed the scent and came to the private room in the inner room.
"Everyone, let's take a break. How about eating this mutton chop bun?" Mao Xi greeted.
Freshly baked and eaten, the meat in the buns is still warm and the skin of the buns is still mixed with the aroma of sesame seeds.
Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the aroma of the buns is mixed with the aroma of barbecue. It's so delicious after one bite.
Mu Zhiyuan had already eaten two grilled lamb chop buns in one go.
Yaomei shouted: "Shopkeeper, let's sell these mutton chop buns in the future, it tastes great!"
Mao Xi decided to let Lou Lan'er serve the new baked buns tomorrow: "I can give the baked buns a try. Maybe they will sell well in the breakfast stall."
