Chapter 112 Manual Meat Grinder
At night, Xu Si lay in bed, with a hot water bottle on his feet and another in his hands. He felt warm all over and breathed a sigh of relief.
A hot water bottle, also known as a soup cover, is an ancient hand warmer made of copper, tin, pottery and other materials. Most of them are oblate in shape with a screw cap on the top. After unscrewing it, hot water is poured in. There is a small plug inside the cap to prevent leakage. After filling, a cloth bag is put on it to keep warm and prevent scalding.
It can warm hands during the day and bed at night, giving people the feeling of being as warm, kind and considerate as an old grandmother at home. Hot water was also called soup in ancient times, so it is named Tangpozi.
The only downside is that I’m worried about it falling to the ground and breaking, after all, it’s not cheap.
When she was a child, she used an empty salt water bottle, poured hot water into it, and then covered it with a lid. It was very hot for her feet and sometimes it was still warm the next morning.
But one time she kicked it under the bed and it exploded. She was so scared that she would rather let it freeze than use it again, no matter what.
Later I used a silicone hot water bottle, and I had to be extra careful when pouring water.
Later, electric hot water bottles came into being. They were convenient, but they broke easily.
"Is it really that cold?" Shen Yanchen didn't quite understand. "Won't it be warmer if you sleep for a while?"
Xu Si turned his head and looked at him, "It's super cold, my hands and feet are cold, and the quilt is always cold. When it warms up, it's time to get up."
She was also helpless. This was probably the difference between men and women.
She had heard a saying that because of this, girls were called "little girls" and boys were called "little fire boys".
Shen Yanchen recalled that night. He was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night when he felt something cold touching him, which made him shiver.
When he found out it was Xu Si, before he could feel happy about her approaching him, he felt like he was holding a lump of ice.
After finally warming up, the other party turned over and walked away without mercy.
If he wasn't sure that the other person was asleep, he would have thought she did it on purpose.
I feel inexplicably frustrated. They come to me when they are useful, and leave me when they are not.
If Xu Si knew, he would definitely think of a famous line from a movie, "When you used to watch the moon with me, you called me Little Sweetie. Now that the new one is better than the old one, you should call me Mrs. Niu."
In short, four words: ruthless.
After Xu Si finished speaking, he shrank his face into the quilt again and continued to think about what happened today.
But it takes so much effort to make just a small amount of hot pot meatballs. Will we be able to supply them when we really open the store?
It is not feasible to chop it by manpower.
There was no electricity in ancient times, but a manual meat grinder would do.
She seemed to remember seeing this being used in minced meat at meat vendors, and she tried hard to recall its exact appearance.
You can put the meat on it, then turn the handle, and the meat filling will come out from the front.
It had been too long and she had a headache thinking about it. When she came to her senses, Shen Yanchen's breathing had become calm. She couldn't help but sigh that he slept really well.
Sometimes I envy him for being able to live a carefree life and just do his own thing every day.
When I was a child, no one forced me to study. I could play however I wanted without having to worry about money.
Some people feel that their family only gives them money but not love and companionship, but he has money, love and companionship.
My parents are loving and open-minded, my brother is responsible, my sister-in-law is sensible, my sister is cute, and my nephew is well-behaved.
The only setback in life is doing a good deed and bringing disaster to the family, but it’s not to the point where we suffer from hunger and cold.
He has a house to live in, and his family will support him if he cannot work. Now he runs a shop to make money, and he has a wife like her who can cook delicious food. Even though he is only in name only, he is simply God's favorite.
The next day, she found some free time and went to the craftsman who made the copper pots for them.
Since they started doing business, they have been dealing with each other a lot, and all the molds, tables and chairs are bought from here.
The craftsman is an old man in his 60s, known as Mu Lao, which is very suitable for his profession.
His sons and grandsons inherited his craft, so theirs is considered a relatively large workshop in Anyang County.
"Meat grinder?" This was the first time Mu Lao had heard of it.
"Yes, I want the kind that can mash the meat into puree."
"We haven't done this before, do you have any ideas?"
Ordinary people don’t have much money, and when they buy meat occasionally, they only buy a little and chop it with a knife.
Rich families have many servants, so they don’t have to worry about anything.
As for restaurants, high-end ones have fewer people ordering, and low-end ones don’t need to be processed so delicately.
So no one has ever proposed to do this.
Mu Lao's sons and grandsons were originally working on their own tools, and they came over to listen curiously after hearing what was said.
Xu Si unfolded the blueprint in her hand, which she had drawn this morning, and pointed to the shape on it and explained simply, "The base needs to be larger so it can be placed firmly on the table.
The meat is put in through this place and the stuffing comes out through these holes.
The stuffing box seems to be able to be unscrewed, anyway, the whole thing should be able to be disassembled for cleaning.
I don’t know exactly what’s inside, but turning the handle activates the machinery inside to process the meat.”
General Mu took the drawing and stared at it with a frown.
"If you want to mince the meat, there should be a blade inside, right?" Mu Lao's son proposed an idea.
"Not only are there blades, but with such a length, there must be something that can move the meat forward." Mu Lao thought for a while before speaking slowly.
Xu Si didn't understand this, so he just sat and listened to Mu Lao and the other two discussing the meat grinder.
After a while, Mu Lao smiled a little, "We'll take this order, but it will take some time. Let's study it."
Being able to do something new is a challenge for them and can also improve their skills.
"Okay, how much is it?"
"It depends on what material you want to use? Wood, iron, copper or something else. But it's hard to say now. It depends on which material produces the best effect." Mu Lao replied.
"Okay, let's do the best one. I want two."
If you want to use it frequently in the future, the quality must be good. Otherwise, if it breaks down halfway, even if it can be repaired, it will be a waste of time and money.
She finally realized that there was no need to compromise just to save money, otherwise she would end up spending more money.
I didn’t want to spend money on a taxi, so I took a shared tram, but I was fined 20 yuan for not wearing a helmet.
Because buying vegetables online is cheaper, I bought a lot. However, after two days of cooking, I started ordering takeout, and the vegetables went rotten.
In order to save money, I bought a lot of cheap clothes, but none of them were warm and they didn’t feel good. In the end, I didn’t like them anymore and stopped wearing them.
I bought a box of fruit and started eating the rotten ones. I ended up eating the whole box of rotten ones.
In short, I spent a lot of money but still didn't get any happiness.
Some people also say that the money you are reluctant to spend will flow away in another way.
After all, you get what you pay for. They are not that short of money now, so they should treat themselves better within their means.
