Chapter 167 Late at night, the restaurant was "besieged" by someone surnamed [name missing
Zhuangzhuang quickly carried the basket on his back and helped deliver the food to the restaurant.
Zhuangzhuang has left.
Lin Xi resignedly squatted in the backyard washing pig intestines.
After washing, they took out a funnel and painstakingly poured water into the pig lungs with Gao Mengli, again and again, until all the blood in the pig lungs was washed away.
The pig lungs also became clean and white.
To avoid any residue remaining, it needs to be boiled in a pot until no more blood-brown bubbles come out of the pig's lungs and trachea, in order to remove its odor to the greatest extent.
While cooking the pig lungs, Gao Mengli also singed the hair off the pig's feet and washed them clean.
Lin Xi quickly took out the brownish-yellow sugar, put it in a pot to caramelize it, added water, wrapped the spices and wine lees in gauze, and put them in the pot to simmer.
Cut the pig's trotters in half, boil them in water until cooked, then take them out and let them cool.
After simmering the braising liquid for half an hour, the heat was turned off.
Lin Xi placed the pig's trotters in an earthenware pot, then poured in the cooled braising liquid, completely submerging the trotters.
After sealing the opening, Gao Mengli placed the jar into a bucket and hung it in the well for refrigeration.
It needs to be marinated in the refrigerator for about two hours to fully absorb the flavor.
Gao Mengli looked up at the sky and realized, "Oh no, we've been busy until midnight, so we won't be able to eat tonight."
Gao Mengli ran into the kitchen, looked at the braised pig intestines in the pot, and turned to ask, "Xixi, are the braised pig intestines ready?"
Lin Xi took out the braised large intestine and placed it on the cutting board. While cutting it, she replied, "We'll have to wait a while. We don't have any white radishes at home, so I cut some carrots. We'll make do with a couple of bites later."
They had been busy all day and hadn't even had dinner yet.
Just as the two were about to offer their bowls as a sacrifice to their internal organs, their restaurant door was banged on loudly.
"Boss, boss lady, open the door! We know you're inside!! Open the door quickly!"
The two men's hearts skipped a beat when they heard the knocking at the door, and they exchanged a glance.
Oh no, the people from the west city must have caught a whiff of the smell and are coming again.
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi quickly ate their fill, finishing a bowl of steaming hot pork intestine and carrot soup.
Only then did he hurriedly open the restaurant door.
As soon as Gao Mengli opened the shop door, she saw a large group of Xicheng residents carrying lanterns, bowls, and chopsticks, eager to "eat".
Lin Xi peeked out from behind Gao Mengli, looking at the group with curiosity, and asked knowingly, "Why are you all out here at my door so late at night instead of sleeping?"
The old lady in the front row looked at the two of them with a resentful expression, "I had already gone to bed, but I don't know what you were stewing, it made us smell so good."
The middle-aged man next to me complained, "Yes, it smells so good, we can't sleep!"
A young man shouted out what everyone was thinking, "What delicious food are you making? Sell us a bowl!"
"Yes, boss, one bowl, one bowl!!!"
Gao Mengli: ……
Lin Xi: ……
Watching the noisy city dwellers clamoring to "buy a bowl," the two of them felt their hair was turning white...
Gao Mengli quickly pressed her hand down, "Everyone, we just made a late-night snack, it's not much... how about coming tomorrow?"
An elderly man, unwilling to give up, shouted, "Boss, we can't afford meat, but you can sell us some soup! Otherwise, we can't sleep!"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone chimed in, "Yes, yes, ma'am, we'll just have some soup!"
If they can't have a drink tonight, how will they sleep?
Absolutely not! You can't!
Despite her best efforts to persuade them, Gao Mengli couldn't convince them to go back.
There was no other way but to have Lin Xi cut up the other braised pig intestines and put all the carrots into the pot.
They cooked another pot, adding it to the two people's previous pot, and that was enough for the group to share.
Seeing that the soup was ready, Gao Mengli stood in front of the pot, directing the line, and shouted loudly, "Everyone, don't rush, line up, one at a time."
Upon hearing this, the people of Xicheng quickly picked up their lanterns and lined up in a straight line!
As for the price, it's not on their radar, because they can "join the group"!
A bowl cost six coins, which is equivalent to six dollars in later times!
Group buying, only 3 coins per person!
However, there are too many people, and most of those who don't usually share orders will have to tonight!
Because Gao Mengli requested it.
After all, with so many people, to ensure everyone gets a share, each person has to have half a bowl.
Forty-two portions were sold, which means eighty-four people...
A half pig intestine and a carrot sold for 126 coins.
After all, without adding pig lungs, this much was already the result of Gao Mengli's "shaky hands".
Otherwise, it simply wouldn't be enough.
Everyone held up the pork intestine and radish soup they had bought, their eyes shining.
Although there are only three pieces of pig intestine, which is not much, it is enough to conquer your taste buds in one bite!
Everyone held their bowls of soup, their eyes fixed on the contents like searchlights, their noses like keen hunting dogs, inhaling the enticing aroma.
Take a sip of the hot soup, and the rich and mellow flavor explodes in your mouth, with the soft and chewy pork intestines and the sweet carrots intertwining.
Money is something everyone likes; so is delicious food!
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi watched as everyone got soup and squatted by the roadside to enjoy it.
The two exchanged a glance and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as the two were about to close the door and go back to sleep, they were interrupted by a loud shout.
"Wait a minute, boss!"
A young man scooped a ladle of hot water from his house and poured it into the pot, much to Gao Mengli and Lin Xi's astonishment.
The young man was using a spoon to scoop hot water to wash the soup pot.
Then he quickly poured the "washing water" into his own bowl.
You can also see one or two pieces of carrot and a piece of braised pork intestine that were poured out together.
"Hehehe, I'm so smart!"
The young man saw the large bowl of "soup" that had been cooked, and happily carried it away as fast as he could.
The belatedly aware residents of Xicheng saw the young man carrying "soup" and a lantern running very fast.
With a strange "Awoo," they quickly gave chase.
While running, he shouted angrily, "Stop! Don't run! Give me a couple of sips!"
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi stood there stunned, their jaws nearly dropping in astonishment.
Upon seeing the "position shift," the two quickly and deliberately closed the door!
The two men peered through the crack in the door, watching as the villagers followed suit and scooped up hot water, then stamped their feet in frustration at their doorsteps.
He glanced at the restaurant with reluctance before turning and leaving.
After everyone left, Gao Mengli and Lin Xi turned around, leaned against the door, and let out a deep breath.
Lin Xi pouted, "Mengli, let's hurry up and pack up and go back to the village!"
In this city, even getting a late-night snack gets you blocked at the door, it's awful!
Gao Mengli smacked her lips, recalling the braised pig intestines she hadn't even had a chance to taste, and said, "Yeah, we'll move in as soon as the house is ready."
Otherwise, they would never have had the chance to cook.
All that hard work cooking this pot, and it doesn't even end up in my own stomach.
At this moment, Lin Xi was already humming the song "The End of the World" in her heart.
I want to cry... I came here to test if they've gone numb yet...
Of all the people in the world, only those two are truly exhausted!
It doesn't matter, they're only staying for a few days anyway.
Hopefully, he and Mengli will return to the village and elope!
