Although the weather is not so good, the night market in Jincheng is still as lively as ever, selling snacks, clothing, small department stores, antiques, etc., as well as performing folk juggling, the whole street is full of people, Bustling.
The inflammation in Lin Mo's throat had just subsided, so he didn't dare to eat the strong-flavored snacks at the night market. He swayed around twice, and was going to buy some clothes for a change at the street stall. This time it was too hasty, the three of them, grandparents and grandchildren, didn't bring any other clothes except the ones they were wearing. When he was in the hospital just now, he had already consulted the doctor. Given Lin Jian's current situation, even if he wanted to be transferred back to the hospital in L County, it would take at least half a month. What's the matter, they can't not change their clothes for half a month.
Vendors in Jincheng have more purchase channels than those in L County. The quality of the clothes on the street stalls is definitely not much better, but the price is more than 30% cheaper than that in L County. Lin Mo chose a small stall with clothes of good quality and style, and after fighting with all the aunts, he finally managed to 'grab' four sets of clothes. As a good brother, how could Lin Mo leave his baby brother behind
The materials for the winter clothes are in charge there, and the price is rather expensive. The four sets of clothes are almost worn out by Lin Mo, so he cut them down to 150 yuan and sold them for 150 yuan. Looking back, some people argued with the proprietress, why he bought it so cheap, no, this dress must be at least five yuan cheaper. The proprietress felt that she had lost a lot of money by selling Lin Mo, so she opened her mouth and said, "The young man is good-looking, so I am willing to count him as cheap. If you don't sell this one for thirty less, you can buy it or not." 'The man hesitated and saw that he really couldn't cut down the price, so he paid for it and bought it.
A coat alone is not enough, Lin Mo walked around a few times, went to another small stall to buy some underwear and socks for washing, and bought a pair of warm shoes for grandma. Buy yourself a pair of sneakers.
The business at the night market is very hot. Lin Mo thinks he will stay in Jincheng for more than ten days. This year's Spring Festival will be at the end of January when he returns to L County. Sell some snacks at the night market? The night market is only open until 11 o'clock in the evening, so it's just right to go to the hospital to take care of my father during the day after sleeping, but it's not good to keep my grandma on vigil all the time. After thinking about it, Lin Mosi decided to ask the market managers first.
The management staff told Lin Mo that many of the stalls in the night market are fixed, but there are also some short-term mobile stalls, but the location is not so good. The admission fee ranges from 5 to 20 yuan a day, depending on the area occupied, and the specific location is determined by the management. Staffing.
Lin Mo deliberately went to look at the mobile stalls, most of them were at off-corner places, with poor lighting, relatively few people, and the business was so-so, most of them were selling trinkets. There are a few places that are slightly better, and the price is estimated to be more expensive.
There are all kinds of snacks in the night market, and Lin Mo feels that if he wants to sell them, most of them will not be refined. They have not stayed in Jincheng for a long time, so it is impossible to buy tools in large quantities. Uncle Hai has a ready-made large iron pot, and there is a large briquette stove on the balcony. There seems to be a small tricycle at the gatekeeper of the community. No, ask him to rent it and pay him the rent, and he should agree.
Lin Mo has a lot of novel and delicious snacks in his head, but there are not many that are simple and quick to make and meet the tastes of Jincheng people. The first thing Lin Mo thought of was Spike Potatoes and Spicy Cumin Potatoes. Potatoes have the widest audience. They are easy to cook and preserve. As long as the taste can be adjusted well, they can be very brilliant.
There are no small potatoes in the night market, only crispy potatoes. The two methods are similar. Both need to boil and peel the potatoes first, and fry them to season. However, the taste of small potatoes is obviously more fragrant and delicate. Similarly, the process of peeling the baby potatoes was slow and cumbersome, and he didn't have that much time to do it.
As for Spike potatoes, they are a popular snack in Jincheng. Not only are there many people selling them at the night market, but they are also sold around the school, so it is not uncommon. However, from another perspective, a popular snack is easier to open up the market in a short time. And he believes that the taste he makes is absolutely no worse than anyone else's, and it shouldn't be difficult to plunder some customers from others. What's more, the Spicy potatoes sold in the night market are only seen with a spicy taste. The taste and dishes are far from as rich as those of later generations, and there is a lot of room for improvement.
There were a lot of things to carry, and the rain gradually became heavier. Lin Mo didn't feel wronged, and called a tricycle to take him back to his place of residence.
Lin Mo returned home, took a hot bath, and washed all the newly bought clothes to dry. If the weather is not sunny, don't even think about wearing dry clothes for three or four days.
Lin Mo kept thinking about setting up a stall at night, and couldn't sleep well all night, waking up after five o'clock in the morning. While putting on his clothes, he laughed secretly at himself that he really lived and went back. He thought that he had never suffered from insomnia like this when he bought a club worth tens of millions. It was just a stall selling snacks.
After thinking about it, this is the starting point of starting a business from scratch. Can you not be excited
Lin Mo brushed his teeth slowly, looked at the pink and tender young man in the mirror and thought shamelessly, Laozi is only fifteen years old now, what's wrong with getting excited? Hululu spit out the foam in his mouth, washed his face with cold water, and scratched his messy hairstyle. The young man in the mirror showed a bright smile with a strong middle-class atmosphere. Looking at the white teeth, he himself was hurt. Forget it, curled his lips, and his smile became that strange and familiar calm and elegant again.
Getting old is getting old, and changing into a new skin, it is impossible to truly return to the innocence and carefreeness of youth, not to mention, after the age of fifteen, his life has become grotesque, and his state of mind has not been cultivated to return to the original. realm.
That's all, and that's fine. Lin Mo touched his cheek on the mirror with his fingers, and the smile disappeared, leaving only coldness and indifference on that exquisite face, and the warmth between his brows was a bit more for his family than before.
This is who you really are.
The chicken and cob bones bought yesterday have not been processed yet. Lin Mo thought that his father and grandma seemed to like mushroom and chicken porridge, so he peeled off the skin of the young hen and cooked it, added some mushrooms to the water, and prepared to make porridge later.
When the whole chicken was cooked to eighth maturity, he peeled off the chicken, blanched the thigh bone to remove the blood, put in ginger, a little rice wine, and other seasonings, and threw it into a large pot with the chicken rack and boiled it on high heat. After the water boiled for a while , turn to low heat and simmer. Dad's leg injury is very serious. At the initial stage, he should not eat greasy food. He should mainly eat a light diet such as vegetable and fish soup. The bones in this pot are used to boil the broth, which is convenient for cooking later.
Lin Mo chose some chicken thigh meat, and shredded it together with the letinous mushrooms, to make porridge later.
Chicken skin is a good thing, some people don't like it, and some people don't like it. Lin Mo planned to keep it as a steamed phoenix garment.
There are not too many blood and water, but it is a pity to throw them away. Lin Mo decided to wait for a while after the porridge is ready, and use them to cook potatoes.
After the big bones are cooked, a lot of meat can be removed from the top, and these meats can be eaten directly.
It was past seven o'clock, and the sky was still dark. Lin Mo saw that the time was almost up, and went to the vegetable market with only fifty yuan left in his pocket. The money that grandma gave him to see a doctor that day was not enough to buy things last night. The fifty yuan he had on him was the lucky money he had accumulated over the years.
There are not many vegetables in the market, and the vegetable vendors have already put fresh vegetables and fruits on the market early. Compared with County L, the winter vegetables in Jincheng are much more abundant. The vegetable vendors brought back a lot of greenhouse vegetables from other places, and there are all kinds of vegetables.
Lin Mo has been in the catering industry for many years, and he knows nothing about the inside story of greenhouse vegetables. Especially now that green farming of organic vegetables is not popular yet, and the relevant state control is not in place. In order to accelerate the growth and ripening of these vegetables, vegetable farmers dare to use any kind of medicine, but he, who has been tortured to death by cancer, dare not eat it.
There are not many seasonal vegetables in this season, nothing more than pumpkin, cabbage, greens, radishes, potatoes, yams, etc. Among them, yam and cabbage have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which are more suitable for dad to eat now. The weather is cold. How long can these two vegetables be preserved? It was also relatively long, so Lin Mo bought more. I also bought some pumpkins and potatoes, cut another two catties of lean meat, and one catty of pork belly was beaten into minced meat.
Lin Mo has always liked to eat fish, but the fish must be eaten fresh. Obviously, this condition is not available now. He only bought three catties of crucian carp.
There were kimchi sellers in the vegetable market. Lin Mo chose the one that looked good. He bought some pickled cowpeas, pickled radishes, and some fermented bean curd.
When I hurried home, the porridge was ready, and the broth had to be stewed for a while.
Lin Mo chopped the soaked cowpea into small pieces, took a little meat smell, added dried chili and fried it for a while, and after a few minutes, a hot and sour and delicious rotten meat cowpea was ready. With fermented bean curd, Lin Mo drank two big bowls of porridge.
After the meal, the big bone broth was almost done. He filtered out the big bone, the chicken rack and the debris in the pot, and put the broth aside to wait for it to condense automatically.
I put porridge in the thermos cup I bought yesterday, and I was going to the hospital. As soon as I walked downstairs, I saw my grandma came back.
"Grandma, why are you back?"
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him, and said, "It's past nine o'clock and you haven't gone there yet. I'm worried that something happened to you at home, so I'll come back and have a look."
It was only then that Lin Mo realized belatedly that in the eyes of his grandma, he was just a half-grown child. When he came to Jincheng for the first time, he might be abducted.
Kidnapping is still the second thing. The old lady heard people say that gas poisoning can poison people to death in the hospital, and then heard people say that gas will explode, and it was a car accident and robbery. She was worried all night and didn't see her grandson in the morning. No, when the medical staff checked Lin Jian, she hurried back immediately.
Lin Mo apologized: "I'm sorry, grandma made you worry. I went to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables in the morning, and the time passed without paying attention."
"Okay, it's fine." The old lady guarded Lin Jian all night, and was worried about Lin Mo, so she took a nap all night, feeling very depressed.
"Grandma, I just go to the hospital by myself. Go home and rest. There is porridge in the pot for you, and there are dishes for you on the table. Remember to eat. Don't worry about lunch, I will go home on time." made."
Seeing the filial appearance of her precious grandson, the old lady felt both sweet and sad. She wanted to say that she would cook the lunch, but she had to give up when she realized that she didn't know how to use that "stove".
"Okay, you must pay attention to safety on the road, what happened to your father, do you remember to call the doctor to know?"
"Ok, I know."
When Lin Mo arrived at the hospital, Lin Jian was still sleeping. He didn't bother him, and sat quietly by the side, thinking about how to raise the matter of setting up a stall with grandma. A fat nurse opened the door and came in, staring at the blue thermos in Lin Mo's hand with small eyes, hesitating to speak.
