Chapter 139 Everything is delicious
The next morning, Shin Soo-su went to Shin Jin-sheng's house early. The family was having breakfast, and Xiao Baoer invited Shin Soo-su to sit down and eat together.
"When I came here yesterday, I saw no one was home. Later, I asked mother and found out that you had gone to watch the fun."
Xiao Baoer thought it should be the time when she went to Li Sangou's house, "What a coincidence, how many days will the school be closed this time?"
"I'll take the bus back tomorrow afternoon. This time it happens to be my grandparents' birthday, so I can join in the fun."
In fact, Shen Xiuxiu had already had breakfast at home. Now, because Shen Zhenjiang had to go to work in town, Shen's mother made breakfast very early. However, the breakfast at her third brother's house was so delicious that she felt hungry as soon as she smelled it.
"Eat quickly, your third brother made too much for us to finish, eat whatever you like."
Shen Xiuxiu looked at the pancake that her third sister-in-law picked up for her and the lean meat porridge in front of her and sat down to eat. The three children kept putting food into their aunt's bowl.
Shen Xiuxiu was astonished after taking the first bite, "Third brother, your cooking is so delicious. How come you can make so much now? This cake has a milky aroma."
Shen Zhensheng was still confident in his craftsmanship, and said with pride, "Of course, your third sister-in-law taught me a lot, and I learn very quickly."
Xiao Baoer also proved Shen Zhensheng's skills, "Your third brother is right, he cooks delicious food now, and he can also make snacks. We are going to make snacks for grandpa and grandma in the morning. Do you want to join us and learn from your third brother?"
Of course Shen Xiuxiu was willing to learn. After she learned it, it would be good to cook it for herself and her parents.
"Okay, hurry up and eat breakfast. Then we'll start cooking. We have to prepare a few things today and give them to grandpa and grandma as gifts tomorrow," Shen Zhensheng became excited and had to show off his skills in front of Shen Xiuxiu.
Last night Shen Zhensheng prepared all the ingredients needed for making snacks today, so we can just make them today.
After dinner, the three of them started to work. They started by making the flower rice cake, which was quicker to make.
Grind the soaked rice into rice milk and add some white sugar. Add some flour and yeast powder and mix well. Cover the mixed batter with a lid and let it ferment until it is twice as large.
Because the weather was a bit cold, Xiao Baoer asked Shen Zhensheng to put the batter in 36-degree warm water for fermentation, which would take about half an hour.
They used this time to prepare the dough or puff pastry for other snacks. The three of them cooperated very well. In fact, the work was mainly done by Shen Zhensheng and Shen Xiuxiu, while Xiao Baoer was responsible for sitting on a stool and arranging what to do in each time period.
Because Xiao Baoer wanted to try which one was easier to make, she did not use anything like a wall-breaking machine in the space. She did everything by hand, so that the problem could be solved when Shen's mother and Xiao's mother made it.
The three of them worked until mid-afternoon to prepare all the snacks. Even for lunch, Shen Zhensheng simply made some clear soup noodles.
The three of them tasted each snack as it came out of the pot. Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng didn't feel much because they ate them so often, but Shen Xiuxiu couldn't stop eating. Every snack was delicious, especially the egg yolk pastry.
Shen Xiuxiu was already conquered by these snacks and praised them highly, "Sister-in-law, grandpa and grandma must love them very much, every one of them is delicious."
Xiao Baoer was also very happy. Nothing could make people happier than giving gifts to an elderly person that touched their heart.
Shen Zhensheng prepared beautiful take-out boxes last night and made a lot of each kind of snack. After packing the snack boxes for grandparents, there was still some left. He left some for Xiao Baoer to keep in the space for daily consumption. Although there are many kinds of snacks in the space, the ones made by hand taste better.
Xiao Baoer packed a few pieces of the remaining snacks for Shen's mother and Liu Ying, asking them to taste them and decide which one to make. The rest will be tasted tomorrow and everyone will give some suggestions.
Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer went back to the old house with Shen Xiuxiu, mainly to discuss making snacks with Shen's mother and Liu Ying, and whether to do it or not was entirely up to their wishes.
"Dad, Mom, and second sister-in-law, all of you try the snacks that my third brother and his wife made today," Shen Xiuxiu gave each of them a piece of egg yolk pastry.
The three of them had never seen or tasted the snacks sold in the town, let alone the snacks they made today.
The three of them tasted several kinds of snacks one by one. They didn't even have time to talk. They just kept putting them into their mouths.
Finally, after taking a few sips of water, Shen's mother had time to speak, "Old Third's, did you three really make this? How come it looks so good and tastes so good?"
"Mom, which one do you think is the most delicious?" Xiao Baoer asked Shen's mother.
"I think all of them are delicious, but my favorites are the chestnut cake and water chestnut cake."
Liu Ying has the same taste as Shen's mother and thinks these two are more delicious.
Father Shen is different from the other two. He thinks egg yolk pastry and flower rice cake are more delicious.
When they picked up another piece of dessert to eat, Xiao Baoer opened her mouth and said, "Mom, Second Sister-in-law, if I ask you to make desserts and sell them, would you do it?"
Liu Ying and Shen's mother hesitated. It wasn't that they were lazy and didn't want to work, but the snacks were too delicate and they didn't know how they could make them with their clumsy hands.
"Old Third's family, we can't do this either."
"Mom, you don't know how to do it, but Zhensheng and I do. You just need to watch it more and you will learn it. Apart from the cost of buying raw materials, you and my second sister-in-law will share the profits. Can you discuss whether you want to do it?"
"Third sister-in-law, these must be made with white flour, white sugar, etc. It's hard to buy them without tickets."
Liu Ying wanted to do it in her heart. She had four children to raise at home, and she wanted all four children to go to school. She wanted to try anything that could make money.
Shen Zhensheng said patiently, "Second sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about the raw materials. An acquaintance of mine comes to our house every two days to pick up the finished snacks. You can ask him to bring white flour and other things every time. Chestnut cakes must be made. We can pick chestnuts in the mountains, so we can use them."
Hearing Shen Zhensheng say this, Shen's mother and Liu Ying became even more eager to try, "Okay, let's do it. When do we start?"
"Mom, I prepared one for grandpa and grandma as well. There are also some others for grandpa and grandma's birthday tomorrow. Let everyone try them and see which one tastes good."
Shen's mother also agreed with Xiao Baoer's words. She wanted to let everyone taste the cooking skills of the third son and his wife to see which one everyone thought was delicious. That would be the one they would make and sell.
Xiao Baoer also told her other arrangements, "Mom, sister-in-law, making cakes also takes time, and you may not be able to make so many clothes. I will deliver the goods every few days, giving you fabrics for 5 clothes each time, and then divide the rest of the fabrics and find someone else to make them."
"Which one makes more money, making clothes or making cakes?"
Shen's mother asked the point. She also wanted to earn more money to help the fifth son get married, and Xiuxiu's marriage in the future would also cost money.
"Zhensheng and I have roughly calculated that making cakes has more profit than making clothes, and cakes don't need to be made all day. You and Second Sister-in-law should make clothes in your free time."
The two were overjoyed and said, "Okay, we'll learn first, and then we'll start doing it after we've learned it."
After making the decision with the two of them, Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer went home. It was almost time for dinner and they had to go home to cook. The three children had eaten clear soup noodles with the adults in the morning, so they had to prepare a richer meal in the evening.
