Chapter 436 Thinking about the Ingredients and Recipes
"Grandma, look at what you're saying. They were your beloved granddaughters. They came to help out of kindness. If I turn them away, it wouldn't be good, right?"
Zhou was choked by An Yue's words and had to return to the kitchen with an unhappy look on her face.
Through the attitude of her grandmother Zhou, An Yue was able to clarify her own inference.
I guess it was during the natural disaster that the two sisters must have done something or said something to make the old woman so annoyed with them.
An Yue sighed inwardly: [Alright, this is exactly the effect I want.]
Afterwards, An Yue turned her head slightly and gave a meaningful look to her aunt who was skewering meat.
Grandmother Zhou returned to the kitchen and saw the two sisters An Jing and An Ning whispering to each other. She felt displeased.
The two sisters vaguely sensed their grandmother's slightly unfriendly gaze, so they hurriedly lowered their heads and continued washing the radishes.
......
It's time.
The number of customers in the shop began to increase gradually.
Auntie and Cui Niang were serving dishes in the dining room, while Axia was washing dishes and chopsticks in the corner.
Erzhu was helping out in the kitchen, busy running back and forth.
He first went to Axia and brought the big bowls to the kitchen, and then placed them in rows next to the stove.
A'er was watching over the stove, boiling various meats and vegetables in the pot, while Daniu was preparing spicy hot pot soup bases of various flavors.
An Yue and Chun Zhi counted the skewers at the counter and paid the bill.
Sisters An Jing and An Ning watched the shop bustling with people and their business was booming, which made them more determined to make malatang.
While washing the radishes, they looked up at what Daniu Ale was doing.
Trying to learn how to make malatang from their actions.
An Ning whispered to An Jing: "Sister, I'm afraid it won't work just by watching like this! How about we find a chance to ask those cooks?"
An Jing frowned and whispered, "Well, this method is not bad. But remember not to act rashly. If they notice us, it will be troublesome for us to come to the shop again."
An Ning nodded in response, indicating that she understood.
However, An Ning is not as calm and patient as her elder sister.
While everyone was busy, An Ning slowly approached Erzhu and Axia who were washing dishes at the kitchen door.
She sat down to help wash the dishes and chatted with them, trying to get useful information from them.
"Hey! How much money do you get every month for working here?"
A-Xia replied calmly, "We have just arrived and have not received our monthly salary yet. However, the young lady is kind and will not treat us unfairly."
"Oh oh oh, yes, yes, Yueyue always treats people like this."
She was still unwilling to give up, and continued: "Look, these customers really love our spicy hot pot! Look at so many customers, they are queuing outside the shop."
"Oh, by the way, just kidding, the little brother is busy in the kitchen every day, he must have noticed that they added special spices, right?"
Erzhu was washing the bowls while smiling and saying, "I really don't know much about this. These spices and seasonings have always been made by Miss Dong herself!"
An Ning asked Erzhu and Axia several times, but found out nothing.
At this moment, she was so frustrated that she had to shut up and return to An Jing in shame.
An Jing said helplessly: "See! I knew it wouldn't be that easy. Let's look for another opportunity!"
An Ning suddenly thought of an idea. She whispered, "Sister, our mother has always been concerned about us. What do you think if... we go to her for help, is that okay?"
An Jing's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, how could I have forgotten about this? Mother must know about it."
An Ning sighed slightly and muttered, "It's just... I don't know if mother is willing to help!"
An Jing rolled her eyes and said, "As long as we act a little coquettishly and say a few nice words, you buy her a hairpin and I buy her a pair of cotton shoes, she will definitely be touched."
"Sister, I'm a little short of money recently. How about you buy the hairpin and I...I buy the cotton shoes?"
An Jing was a little annoyed and wanted to blame An Ning: "You!"
But on second thought, the most important thing for now is to get the recipe for the spicy hot pot ingredients first.
So, she had to agree reluctantly: "Okay, okay, I'll buy the hairpin."
An Ning smiled proudly and said coquettishly: "Sister is the best."
"Tsk! You really can't stand any loss!"
......
It's not the end of time.
The family is almost done and preparing to cook some dishes for lunch.
An Yue took some copper coins from the counter and handed them to A-Xia, saying, "A-Xia, go to the steamed bun shop and buy some big steamed buns."
A-Xia took the copper coin from An Yue's hand and replied, "Okay, Miss."
Cui Niang and Chunzhi went to the kitchen and prepared a dish of pickled cabbage, pork slices and winter vegetable soup.
There is also a ready-made dish of pickled radish.
Two quarters of an hour later.
The food was finally ready and everyone started to eat lunch.
The family sat together eating lunch, quiet but somewhat absent-minded.
While she was mechanically stuffing food into her mouth, she was thinking in her mind how to get the recipe for the spicy hot pot ingredients.
......
After meal.
Everyone got busy.
Aunt-in-law Zhang walked towards the outhouse in the backyard.
An Jing and An Ning looked at each other, exchanged glances with each other secretly, and hurriedly followed each other to the backyard.
In the backyard, Zhang came out of the toilet.
The two sisters came forward, one on each side, and took Zhang's arms.
An Ning said in a tender voice: "Mom, you must be exhausted recently. I see you have lost weight, and I feel so sorry for you!"
Zhang looked at An Ning lovingly and said with a smile, "Girl, your mouth is as sweet as honey today."
An Ning giggled and continued, "Mom, I have always felt sorry for you."
An Jing saw that An Ning had almost created the atmosphere, so she quickly struck while the iron was hot and said, "Mom, you have worked hard for our family for half your life. When we have money in the future, we will definitely let you enjoy a peaceful life."
Zhang's eyes trembled slightly, and she said with great emotion: "I am very pleased that you have this heart."
An Jing and An Ning looked at each other, and An Jing said softly, "Mom, you see that the business in this shop is so good now. If my sister and I also open a spicy hot pot shop, won't we be able to make a lot of money?"
Zhang frowned, pushed away the sisters' arms, and said seriously, "Ajing, Aning, this spicy hot pot is Yueyue's unique craft, how can I give it to you casually!"
An Ning quickly took Zhang's hand, shook it and said coquettishly: "Mom, please help us! After we earn money, can't you sit back and enjoy your life?"
An Jing also quickly added:
