Rebirth 2002: Chic Life

Chapter 24 23. Twice Cooked Pork

When it was time to eat, Wu Dong began to sigh.

"Hey, you shouldn't be greedy yesterday. After eating at the Jinling Hotel and then going to Tan's private kitchen or Qingheju, you won't have the same feeling as before."

"Do you still have to do it yourself?"

Men in the north generally do not enter the kitchen.

Although his mother is the housekeeper at home, his father never enters the kitchen. As long as he is not a chef, it is quite embarrassing for a northern man to go into the kitchen to cook, cook or wash up and be seen by others. Of course, that was before 2000.

Of course Wu Dong can cook.

Who told him to marry a wife in Jinling? The custom in Xinfeng is that men have to "buy and burn", buy vegetables, cook and clean up.

In three years, outsiders will not know how Wu Dong spent his three years of marriage. From a northern gentleman who has never washed a bowl to a Jiangnan uncle with the skill of "buying, burning and burning", Wu Dong has paid a lot.

……

Tan's private kitchen, a piece of Dongpo pork, and a piece of tofu with minced meat.

Take a closer look at the home-cooked food made by the chef in the small restaurant, which is actually not bad. "Judging people by their appearance is inferior, and I made the same mistake." Wu Dong ate very happily, but he drank more than a dozen bottles yesterday. Yes, if you don't keep healthy when you are young, you will have trouble when you are old.

He suffered from gout in his 40s and now he knows how to control it.

Although eating is very refreshing, but some thoughts can't be stopped together.

He has been a family cook for nearly 3 years, and he still has an impression of the cooking utensils shop in this area, the vegetable market hidden in the village in the city, and where to change the gas cylinder.

After planning the route, we went out and called a rickshaw.

After a lap, everything was ready, the master was not young, Wu Dong was embarrassed to ask him to help, and he went back and forth 3 times and finally got the cooking done.

Everyone knows that rice in the north is delicious, but the current level of logistics is too poor. Indica rice is commonly eaten in Jinling, which is soft, rotten, and tastes bad. There is no way that rice in the north is rare and expensive.

After being divorced for seven or eight years, I was reborn again, saying that it seems that I have been wrong in the past life, it is the past life,

Once again, I was cooking, and I felt a strange emotion in my heart, which was indescribable.

Wash the rice and cook, plug in the rice cooker, and start packing the ingredients.

Wu Dong's best dish is twice-cooked pork. His ex-wife's family is so picky but they are full of praise for his twice-cooked pork.

Today in the market, he saw this fat and thin pork belly at a glance.

Dahua heats up the pot to scald the skin of the meat, and then cooks the meat until it is easy to pierce the skin with chopsticks. This is the experience Wu Dong summed up while trying to use Baidu.

"Papa papa" someone knocked on the door.

"Hey, Mr. Hong, Mr. Shen, come in and sit down."

The old couple looked pleasantly surprised, "Ah! Xiao Wu, you can cook! My old man also said that you northerners will definitely not be able to cook." It was the spokesperson of this family, Teacher Shen, who spoke first.

The old man added, "What kind of dish is this cooking?"

Wu Dongxin said, "I forgot to buy an apron, add sleeves, this is the style of a house husband."

"Sichuan cuisine, twice-cooked pork, do you two want to try it?"

"No, no, Sichuan food is too spicy to eat." The old couple waved their hands again and again.

"Xiao Wu, don't you have a girlfriend?" Teacher Shen asked.

"Well, no."

"Would you like us to introduce you, there are many little girls in our 11th.

A handsome young man like you, with a good temper and can cook, the little girl will definitely like it. "

The old couple is very satisfied with this young neighbor, or it may be that their retirement life is very lonely. They are very enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that Wu Dong can't stand it.

"Don't, don't, I'm only 23, don't worry if I'm still young."

"Let me tell you, don't worry, the girl will be picked away if you don't worry..."

"Ah!" Teacher Shen exclaimed, and while chatting, the water came out.

Wu Dong lifted the lid of the pot and skimmed off the foam.

"You're busy, let's go, the young man is good at cooking..." The old couple left excitedly.

This is a very strange thing. If a single young man or woman suddenly appears around you, older people like to be matchmakers, both in the north and the south.

Take the meat out and rinse it with water, set aside to cool first,
Green and red peppers, ginger, and garlic leaves are not mainly used for greasy garlic, they are all washed and chopped.

……

Unable to buy Pixian bean paste, Wu Dong had to make it himself with ordinary sauce and chili oil.

……

"Hehe, the old couple are quite enthusiastic."

After rebirth, Wu Dong never thought of getting married.

Anyone who has seen the siege knows that those inside want to get out, and those outside want to go in.

Wu Dong went in and out again, he didn't want to go in anymore.

Marriage is the tomb of love, and his marriage didn't even have love, it was just a life together.

Older youths have to bear many things if they don’t get married. Parents’ urging marriage is just one of them. The male teacher in the art school has always been nervous about not getting married. Some people speculate about his sexual orientation. His ex-wife is similar. Neither of them can bear it. Just make do with the pressure from the outside world.

There is neither emotional foundation nor economic support...

"Love only exists between young people. They still have illusions about life. Middle-aged people, especially divorced men and women, have to settle financial accounts first when they get together..."

Crack, Wu Dong patted his forehead, "I've been reborn, I'm a boy now, and I fucking forgot."

Wu Dong's craftsmanship is still there. Although the taste of indica rice is not good, the twice-cooked pork is really authentic.Every gluttonous glutton has a few specialty dishes, and when they really can't find a good chef, they can only do it themselves.

Pop, pop, someone knocked on the door again.

Open the door, outside is Shangguan Jinyu.

"Teacher Shangguan!" Wu Dong was a little confused.

"It makes you nervous, I won't eat you, Xiaowei will come back at night. I'm really bored, I don't have a TV to go to the Internet cafe and you're not here, so I came here."

This Wu Dong can understand, without a mobile phone, without a TV, and without a companion is quite boring.

"Didn't go out for a stroll?"

"It's hot, and I'm sweating every time I move."

Seeing her staring at his food, Wu Dong reluctantly invited, "Have you had dinner yet? Do you want to try my cooking?"

She nodded cheerfully, "Okay!"

Wu Dong didn't close the door, and moved out a chair from the living room.

……

This is a landmark event, cooking for the first time after rebirth.

Wu Dong, who was eating together, was still a little concerned, "Anyway, she is a beautiful woman, so it's fair to say."

"Ah, Mr. Wu, you did a great job. It's better than what I've eaten in a restaurant."

……

"Ms. Wu, I saw you get into a Bentley the other day..."

Wu Dong chuckled, he had counted.My heart said, "It turns out that the roots are here."

"I'm the moderator of the Literary Section of the Haijiao Forum. A friend of a friend asked me to read the script. I don't know my friend's friend well. Who knew his family was so rich."

"Oh, my friend's friend." Shangguan Jinyu lowered his head and took a bite of twice-cooked pork, then raised his head and took a peek at Wu Dong.

"I have to go to the Internet cafe to continue writing novels later, shall we go together?"

"Go! When Xiaowei comes back, she will call me." She promised very happily.
