Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 138 It’s just a simple dish, son, don’t lie to me

The next morning.

Li Rui came to the small restaurant where he worked.

As expected, the proprietress Wang Ying found another aunt to help in the store.

She introduced the two employees in the store to each other:
"This is the new chef we hired. He's handsome and his cooking skills are excellent."

"This auntie used to help here. She works very efficiently. If you have any questions, just go to her."

Sister Wang Ying is a straightforward person.

The words are nice and real.

Both employees were very helpful.

I had already told Sister Wang Ying about the ingredients needed for today in advance, so when I came here this morning, everything had been prepared in advance.

The chef of the small restaurant had just started working.
The first table of diners arrived.

The whole family came for the seafood, and the dishes they ordered included the fried fish slices with soy sauce that had just been released recently.

Fried octopus with soy sauce,

The scientific name of the octopus is octopus. Compared with the squid we used yesterday,

Octopuses have eight tentacles, while squids have ten.

And the octopus's head is rounder.

After buying the octopus, you must first clean it.

Add salt and rub it repeatedly to remove mucus and mud from the suction cup.

Squeeze out the octopus' teeth, turn its head over, and remove its internal organs. Rinse with clean water.

Heat oil in a pan, fry onions.
Onions themselves contain high levels of sugar and allicin.
So it is a bit spicy when eaten raw, but after stir-frying, the pungent smell is broken down by the high-temperature hot oil and becomes sweet.

After the onion is slightly charred, add the green pepper and stir-fry briefly to retain some of the fresh flavor, then serve.

While the octopus is blanching, prepare a sauce.

The main sauces for the stir-fried dish are sweet bean sauce and Chu Hou sauce, with appropriate amounts of light soy sauce, garlic chili sauce, sugar and pepper added.

Add a little water and mix well.

Add minced ginger, garlic slices and dried chilies and stir-fry until fragrant.

Then pour the sauce in, turn up the heat and fry the sauce until fragrant.

After the sauce boils, thicken it and add sesame oil to make the soup thicker and brighter.

Pour in the prepared ingredients and stir-fry briefly.

The octopus is almost cooked after blanching, so after putting it in the pot, just let the sauce coat the ingredients.

Today is the weekend,
Kang Jie's wife was not at home, so she left the two children in his care.

He usually doesn't cook much, but he slept in comfortably with his children on the weekend.

Naturally, breakfast and lunch were transitioned together.

However, this family does have to eat lunch early, as the two children have their own cram schools to attend in the afternoon.

My daughter is younger and has enrolled in a painting class based on her interest.

My son is under pressure to take exams and needs tutoring in his weak subjects - math, English, physics and chemistry.

Kang Jie woke up the two children.
While combing her daughter's hair, she asked the children for their opinions:

"What do you want to eat at noon? I'll take you out to eat."

"Seafood!" said the little daughter excitedly.

"Okay, then let's go eat seafood." Kang Jie agreed immediately.

But then I thought about how my son hadn't spoken yet, and as a fair father, I felt that it wasn't a good idea for me to do so.

So I asked my son, "What do you eat?"

The eldest son, Kang Zibo, also made a proposal that his father could not refuse:

“I eat rice as my staple food.”

"No problem." Kang Jie said with relief.

Speaking of seafood, the season in October is pretty good, and he was in the company yesterday when a colleague recommended a small restaurant to him.

It is said that the taste is particularly good, so you can go and try it.

that's it,
Kang Jie brought his son and daughter to the small bungalow restaurant.

The restaurant served food very quickly and all the dishes were served in a short time.

The soft fried dragon bones do not need to be peeled manually, so it is very convenient for children to eat.

Kang Jie just needs to carefully put the mantis shrimp meat into his daughter's mouth. "Would you like some salt and pepper?"

"want."

Kang Zibo, who was sitting opposite his father and sister, was very envious of his sister's treatment.

He also wanted some fatherly care.

"Dad, can you feed me too?"

"You're already so old, and you still need me to feed you!"

The eldest son, who was about fifteen or sixteen years old, made such a request to his father during dinner, which made the diners around him feel a little uncomfortable.

They agree more with the father's approach.

All eyes turned to this family.

Kang Zibo raised his bandaged right arm, as if explaining to the people around him.

“That’s not too much to ask.”

"It's OK to grab shrimp with my left hand, but using chopsticks is still a bit awkward."

Dad Kang Jie said helplessly:
"We play basketball every day. Let's see if you still want to play this time."

"Eat it yourself, with a spoon."

"Okay." Kang Zi Bo obeyed obediently and picked up the spoon beside him.

He shoveled it into the stir-fried pork.

I don't know if it's because my left hand is not used to it.

Or it’s because of the food itself.

He always felt that the little octopus was trembling in the spoon.

But the color is pretty and looks very appetizing, and the sauce has a very rich aroma after stir-frying over high heat.

Kang Zibo held the spoon in his left hand and accurately put the small octopus into his mouth along with two slices of onion.

After taking a bite, I realized that the sauce flavor I smelled just now was
It's not that simple to eat.
In addition to the rich flavor brought by the fusion of the two unique noodle sauces from the south and the north, it is also slightly spicy and sweet.

A wonderful combination of flavors, a very rich experience.

After the octopus is blanched,
It only experienced a brief stir-fry.
The perfect cooking time makes the octopus taste particularly chewy, tender and crispy.

"too delicious."

The father and sister opposite seemed to be very satisfied with the dish.

Especially my sister's little face,
She has a happy and satisfied smile, so cute.

After eating a few pieces of octopus,

Kang Zibo suddenly felt an itch on his arm.

He put down the spoon and scratched it with his hand.

Ok?
Feeling okay with your arm?
He tried to pick up the chopsticks with his right hand and it was effortless.

Kang Jie, who was sitting opposite,
Occasionally shifting the attention from the daughter to the son.

I couldn't help but praise:

"You're pretty good with your left hand, kid."

"It seems that everything requires more practice. It's just like studying. Practice makes perfect. Study hard in the afternoon. You can handle the high school exams by doing a lot of questions."

Kang Zibo didn't know what profound truths his father was muttering.

While saying "hmmmm" perfunctorily,

While continuing to eat.

But Kangjie soon realized that something was wrong.

The father also used his hands to compare and contrast.

I found that my son was using the same one as me, on the same side, with his arm wrapped in a bandage.

Didn’t the doctor say that it would take at least a month to recover?
How come we can use chopsticks to eat now?
So he asked his son:

"Son, your mother is not here today. Tell your father the truth. Is your arm fake?"

Kang Zibo knew what his father meant.

If my mom wasn’t around and I got beaten, my sister probably wouldn’t be able to stop me.

So he explained carefully:

"Dad, I said that this happened after I ate the fried pork belly with soy sauce. Do you believe me?"
