Chapter 37 Coconut Jelly
Mao Xi looked at the poplar nectar in the bowl and felt that something was missing.
"That's right! It's a glass bowl and milky white coconut milk!"
There was nothing she could do about glass for now, but she could do coconut milk.
Mao Xi took some coconut meat, put it in a bowl and pounded it a few times with a stone hammer. The coconut meat was crushed and milky white coconut juice oozed out.
"Ah Shu, the coconut milk has turned milky white!" Lou Lan'er exclaimed!
"We will filter it through gauze several times before boiling it and mixing it with coconut water. The taste and presentation will be even better!"
Most of the tableware in the store uses pottery bowls. How to make the poplar nectar more distinctive on the containers?
While Ma Xi was thinking, she saw Luda sitting in the yard, carving a coconut shell with a knife. Xiaodouzi and Ajiao sat around, watching intently.
After a while, a squatting monkey appeared in Luda's hands, lifelike.
Ajiao hugged the coconut shell monkey and played happily with her brother Xiaodouzi.
Inspired by Luda, Mao Xi took a coconut shell and sawed it in half with an orange. The complete half became a coconut bowl.
Luda took it, knocked it, polished the bottom of the bowl, and polished the rim of the bowl smooth on the stone.
"Ah Ma, this coconut bowl is good. You can use it for eating and drinking soup in the future!" Luda showed his improved coconut bowl to Ma Xi.
"Sister, I want a coconut bowl too, I want it too!" Ajiao made a fuss, leaving the coconut monkey behind and clamoring for a coconut bowl filled with sugar water to drink.
Mao Xi poured some poplar nectar into a coconut bowl for her little sister to eat.
"We will sell coconut milk and other sugar drinks then, how about using this coconut bowl?"
"You can give it a try, Ah Shu, leave me a coconut bowl. It's quite interesting." Mu Zhiyuan said, he was once again impressed by Shu Xi's novel idea.
.
Nalan Jue arrived at the location of the "Xing Jue" merchant ship in Wutong Port, where the boats were connected and busy all day long.
The boss of Nalan's boat shop saw his boss coming and hurriedly came out to greet him.
"Li Keyang, how did the last batch of goods sell?"
"Boss, it's all in this account, take a look!" Li Keyang took out the account book and showed it to Nalan Jue.
Nalan Jue looked at the account book and asked, "Did you gain anything new from your trip to Nanzhou this time?"
Li Keyang took out a handful of peanuts and a tomato: "According to the owner's wishes, I paid special attention to some food that is not available in the Huai Kingdom. These are the peanuts and tomatoes I found from the pirate ship."
Nalan Jue took a look. He had seen all of these in Mao Xi's fields, and they were not strange. "That's all? Peanuts and tomatoes are already available in Lihua Town!"
"Young master, that shouldn't be the case. No one is planting these in the Huai Kingdom. This time, a pirate ship invaded our ship. After subduing it, I accidentally bumped into their ship and found these. They are not even found in Nanzhou."
"That's really strange. Why does Ah Mu have these fruits? Interesting!" Nalan Jue smiled. He seemed to be more interested in Mu Xi, but this time it was not food, but her.
.
"Coconut chicken, poplar nectar! Today's new products are on sale, and you'll get a plate of coconut jelly for free when you dine in the store!"
After two days of preparation, coconut snacks finally make their grand debut at Liuxiang Snacks!
Shu Xi and Lou Lan'er took the leaflets written by Xiaodouzi and distributed them at the entrance of the store.
When everyone saw that there was free coconut jelly available, they all rushed into the store to eat.
New and old customers came, and the inside and outside of the store quickly filled up.
Mu Zhiyuan came to the store early in the morning to help, and this time the housekeeper Lao Wang no longer stopped him.
Diners without seats lined up at the door waiting to eat.
Mao Xi asked Mu Zhiyuan and Lou Lan'er to help distribute ticket numbers to people in line, and when there was space, they would call for food.
"Ah Shu, the shop is not big enough, you should find a big restaurant!" Mu Zhiyuan said to Mian Xi. He had secretly looked at several shops for Miao Xi that were ready to be transferred.
"Although a sparrow is small, it has all its internal organs! Brother Mu, don't be in a hurry!" Mao Xi was busy mixing poplar nectar.
There are two regular customers this morning: calligraphy master Mi Yuan and Liu Xiangniang, the shopkeeper of Ruifeng Tower.
Liu Xiangniang ordered the new coconut chicken and poplar nectar. She did not sit down at her seat, but came to the stove to watch Mao Xi prepare the poplar nectar.
"Mango, coconut juice, grapefruit meat... these are all easy to buy, put on ice, and what are these? Transparent 'balls'?" Liu Xiangniang silently wrote down in her heart.
Seeing her watching Mao Xi's preparation, Lou Lan'er was a little annoyed. She held the coconut chicken that had just come out of the pot and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, be careful...soup! Your coconut chicken stew is here!"
Liu Xiangniang took a sip of the coconut chicken. Although the taste was sweet, it was not difficult to replicate it in her restaurant. However, using coconut as a container to serve the soup was quite innovative.
Mao Xi mixed the poplar nectar and sent it to Liu Xiangniang. He said politely: "It's rare for shopkeeper Liu to come to the shop. This is your poplar nectar."
Liu Xiangniang partially covered her face with a round fan and said with a smile: "Miss Ah Shu, your Liuxiang snack business is really getting more and more prosperous!"
"I'd like to borrow some good words from Shopkeeper Liu!"
"May I ask, what kind of fruit are these transparent little beads in your poplar nectar?"
"This is sago." After Mao Xi said that, he went back to his business.
Liu Xiangniang took a spoonful of poplar nectar. The milky white coconut juice was mixed with soft mango. It was fragrant and had a rich aftertaste. After chewing it twice, grapefruit meat and sago exploded in the mouth. It tasted like crab roe. .
"This bowl of poplar nectar only costs 12 yuan. It cannot be made from expensive crab roe. Could it be a new fruit improved from sweet potato balls?"
Liu Xiangniang thought to herself that she hadn't even figured out the sweet potato balls in Mao Xi's lychee ice, and the sudden appearance of sago made her even more confused.
Seeing Liu Xiangniang's confused and confused face, Lou Lan'er hid her face and snickered. She came to Shui Xi and whispered, "Ah Shu, look at Shopkeeper Liu's expression. She doesn't look like she's here to eat. Instead, she looks like she's here to steal from you!" "
Ah Miao smiled and whispered: "Shopkeeper Liu is the shopkeeper of the restaurant. If she deigns to come to our shop, isn't it just to promote our shop's sign? Regardless of whether she can imitate it, the raw materials of these desserts alone, She can’t buy it either.”
This sago and tapioca flour are unique to the virtual mall. Liu Xiangniang can only imitate her and sell coconut chicken and coconut jelly.
Master Mi Yuan was sitting at a small table outside the shop. He always liked sweets and was drinking poplar nectar with coconut jelly.
The coconut jelly is cut into small cubes and placed on a plate. The whole body is sprinkled with coconut jelly, which is as white as snow. There is a small fork made of bamboo slices placed on the edge of the plate.
Mao Xi asked Brother Luda to help him sharpen this little fork.
Mi Yuan took a piece of coconut jelly with a fork and put it into his mouth. Suddenly his eyes closed tightly and he raised his head without saying a word.
"Master Mi, is this coconut jelly flavor feasible?" Shui Xi came to the master, a little nervous. Master Mi Yuan is a connoisseur of desserts, and she hopes to receive good reviews.
Mi Yuan opened his eyes and looked at Shu Xi: "Ah Shu, did you add milk to this coconut jelly?"
"Yes, Master Miyuan, does it taste good?"
Mi Yuan's eyes sparkled and he said with emotion: "It reminds me of the years when I went to Beijing to take the exam."
"Teacher, is there any allusion to this?" Mu Zhiyuan asked.
"When I was young and participating in the Qiu Wei Festival, my mother-in-law would make dumplings with glutinous rice cake and milk for me to take with me as dry food on the road."
"Master, I didn't use glutinous rice cake here. I just made it with milk and coconut milk. It needs to be refrigerated before it can be shaped."
"Ah Shu, autumn is coming soon. You can sell some fruit snacks such as Jinshi cakes and Zhuangyuan cakes. It is best that the candidates can carry them for long distances."
"Thank you, Master Mi, for your advice!" Shu Xi was overjoyed. She was about to start making money from ancient candidates.
"Hahaha! Girl Mao, your little restaurant can no longer hide your little chef!" Mi Yuan knocked the coconut shell bowl containing poplar nectar with her hand, smiled at Ma Xi, and actually raised her head to drink. stand up.
