Chapter 48: Job Posting and Lotus Leaf Sticky Rice Steamed Ribs


Huang Tao first went to the market to buy regular transparent porridge bowls and packaging boxes.

No choice~

These things, the consumption is quite large.

The stockpile is running low.

Meanwhile, he was also considering whether to prioritize customizing packaging boxes with his own "So Delicious" store's exclusive logo.

This way, when the business grows bigger, and more people recognize "So Delicious," every time they buy food from his store, seeing the logo on the packaging box can also serve as some kind of advertisement.

Although his store currently doesn't lack this bit of promotion.

But being widely known is only beneficial for the store's development.

Therefore, designing a logo and customizing a batch of exclusive packaging boxes is quite necessary.

He took out his phone and noted down this matter in his memo.

Then he went to a nearby print shop and printed a simple version of a recruitment notice.

He planned to stick it at the entrance of his own store.

After all, there are a lot of people coming and going every day, and quite a few come to buy food. If someone sees it and is willing to apply?

Get these done!

He set off again, heading to the vegetable market to start his shopping mode.

As soon as he entered the vegetable market, he felt the enthusiasm of the stall owners.

"Yo, Boss Huang, here to buy vegetables!"

"Yes!"

"Boss Huang, I heard you're launching new products at noon today?"

"Yeah! You've got quite the scoop!"

Huang Tao could guess with his big toe who revealed this information.

It was Chen Weihao!

He smiled and continued, "I'm indeed planning to introduce lotus leaf glutinous rice steamed ribs and three-delicacy vegetarian pan-fried buns at noon! Make sure to come by and try the new products if you have time."

"Boss Huang, your new products are a must-try! Just hearing the names makes my mouth water!"

"Exactly. If I don't go and try them, I'd feel like I've missed out on a million!"

"Hey! Everything Boss Huang makes is great, it's just the portions are a bit small, and it's always so hard to get in line! Boss Huang, do you know the pain of lining up and still not being able to buy anything?"

Huang Tao smiled helplessly: "Then come earlier..."

And the vegetable stall owner, seeing an old customer, enthusiastically called out, "Boss Huang, take a look, if you need anything, let me know, I'll give you a discount."

"Carrots, wood ear mushrooms, vermicelli, chives, shiitake mushrooms, green onions, eggs, lotus leaves, do you have them?"

"Vermicelli, eggs, these lotus leaves I don't have, but I do have fresh carrots, wood ear mushrooms, and chives!"

"Alright, prepare 20 pounds of carrots and wood ear mushrooms each, 10 pounds each of chives, shiitake mushrooms, and green onions, and later I need you to personally help deliver them to the store."

"No problem, from now on, if you need anything, just let me know by phone or WeChat, and I'll deliver it directly to your store. No need to always bother Old Wang's nephew to help deliver."

"That works! Prepare them for me first, I'm off to buy a few other things."

"Go on, once you've finished shopping, I'll deliver everything to your store."

"Great, thank you!"

Huang Tao thought for a moment and inquired, "Oh, by the way, is there anyone selling lotus leaves nearby?"

"There's a stall selling fresh lotus seeds over there, they might have some, but this isn't something always available, you can go and check." The vegetable stall owner enthusiastically pointed the way.

Huang Tao nodded and went to inquire at the lotus seed stall.

Luckily, his luck was good today; the owner happened to have stock.

He bought some back.

He also went to other stalls to buy the eggs, vermicelli, and glutinous rice he needed.

He exchanged WeChat contacts with these stall vendors so they could discuss procurement matters in the future at the first opportunity.

After greeting Old Wang at the pork stall, he returned to the vegetable stall area.

"Boss Huang, gathered everything you're buying, right? I'll help you send it over now."

The vegetable stall owner quickly helped him load all the ingredients onto his tricycle.

And helped deliver them back to the "So Delicious" store.

A helpful Jiang Guowei saw the situation and came out of the store to help.

"Yo, buying so many carrots and wood ear mushrooms, and these vermicelli and lotus leaves, what's Boss Huang planning to make as the new product?"

Earlier, when Huang Tao mentioned releasing a new product at noon, Jiang Guowei couldn't help but wonder.

But seeing these ingredients, he really couldn't guess what the new product was!

"I heard Boss Huang say he's making lotus leaf glutinous rice steamed ribs and three-delicacy vegetarian pan-fried buns." The vegetable stall owner shared what he had heard with Jiang Guowei.

Hearing this, Jiang Guowei was excited and instinctively licked his lips.

That's right!

He was craving it!

When Huang Tao rode his electric scooter to the store entrance.

Jiang Guowei approached, rubbing his hands with an expectant look, "Boss Huang, I heard you're making lotus leaf glutinous rice steamed ribs and three-delicacy vegetarian pan-fried buns at noon, could you save some for me?"

"Sure! I'll save you two portions of lotus leaf glutinous rice steamed ribs and 10 three-delicacy vegetarian pan-fried buns!" Huang Tao smiled lightly.

"Thanks, thanks..."

During the conversation, everyone had already brought the ingredients into the kitchen.

On the electronic blackboard at the entrance, Huang Tao had added two new products.

[Three-delicacy vegetarian pan-fried bun 3 yuan each, lotus leaf glutinous rice steamed ribs 28 yuan per portion.]

"Boss Huang, I've also brought over the ribs you wanted."

This time, Chen Weihao delivered the meat ingredients Huang Tao needed to the store.

Everyone was busy for a while, moving all the ingredients into the kitchen.

"Thanks to the three of you, take care..."

After seeing them off.

Huang Tao remembered his simple recruitment notice and took it out, posting it in the most prominent spot at the store entrance.

Looking for an assistant chef, full-time, aged between 20-50, neat and tidy, in good health, quick at work, with two days off each month, and meals included.

Salary is 6,500 yuan, with a one-month probation period, 7,500 yuan after probation, with social security coverage.

Looking for an ordinary employee, full-time, aged between 20-50, good appearance, in good health, quick at work, with two days off each month, and meals included.

Salary is 4,500 yuan, with a one-month probation period, 5,500 yuan after probation, with social security coverage.

Job duties: cashier, meal distribution, cleaning and other miscellaneous tasks.

These wages are not high nor low.

After posting the recruitment notice.

Returning to the kitchen, he began processing the ingredients needed for noon.

He cleaned the fresh lotus leaves and put them under the sun to dry and soften, preventing them from spilling food while steaming the ribs.

Moreover, it can make the food wrapped inside more aromatic.

While drying the lotus leaves, he washed the glutinous rice, vermicelli, and chopped ribs, soaking them separately.

Then he started making the dough.

With skillful hands, the scattered flour quickly became a smooth and shiny white dough.

Gently patting it a few times, the dough softly made a "pop pop" sound.

Putting the kneaded dough aside to ferment.

He took out the soaked ribs, placed them in a large bowl with cooking wine, salt, soy sauce, and other seasonings, mixed well, and set aside to marinate.

He started preparing the filling for the pan-fried buns.

For the three-delicacy vegetarian filling, he paid attention to the raw taste of carrots.

Many people do not accept this taste.

Therefore, carrots need to be shredded and soaked in salt water for ten minutes.

Besides this step.

Huang Tao also added a bit of ginger.

Ginger's unique spicy aroma can cleverly eliminate the earthy taste of carrots, making the texture better.

Then!

Chop the chives into sections, dice the wood ear mushrooms, chop the soaked vermicelli into small sections, and set aside.

Beat the eggs and fry them in a hot pan.

While frying, break the eggs into pieces.

Then combine with vermicelli, shredded carrots, chives, and small agar cubes in a bowl.

Add an appropriate amount of sugar, salt, chicken essence, and soy sauce.

Finally, add hemp seed oil from Longevity Village, and mix evenly.

The three-delicacy vegetarian filling is complete.

Place the peeled ten eggs into a pot of brine to simmer over low heat.

This is specially prepared marinated eggs for Xuanxuan.

The fragrance wafted far and wide...

Drawing in Elder Qin and Lao Liu, who were strolling, who then opened the door and entered.
