Leftover Girl's Neverland

Chapter 16

In the lobby, two troublesome young men yelled while knocking on the plate: "Is it alright, I'm starving to death!"

The spectators nearby were eating without taste, but their eyes were always focused on the direction of the kitchen. Just now, the old man looked confident, which made them look forward to the things he made.The old and the young at the corner originally waited for the car outside to be repaired and left. After all, the food in this restaurant was really not good. They didn’t want to sit for nothing, so they ordered two at random, but they only took one bite and put it down. Chopsticks.But later, the old man recognized Chef Zhao, and he became interested in staying. He was also curious about what other things the old man had kept from the bottom of the box.

"Come on," Li Sihai excitedly came out with a plate, and put the plate in front of the two of them: "Dude, try it, if it's not delicious, I'll refund you double the money you spent today!"

The two looked at it curiously. Isn't this a steamed stuffed bun? They picked one up and took a bite. It was sour and sweet, but it didn't match the salty taste of the seasoning.Neither of the two of them spoke, you rushed to eat one bite at a time, and just threw away the chopsticks after eating one, and ate it with your hands.

The people next to me were also very different when they first saw it. They thought it was too beautiful, and the steamed buns can be made like this.Then looking at the person who came to find fault, he ate it in big mouthfuls regardless of the heat, and couldn't help but have an appetite.They asked one after another: "Boss, what kind of stuffing is this? How much is a cage?"

"This is stuffed with tomatoes, a cage—" Li Sihai looked at Chef Zhao who came out wiping his hands, looked at him, and asked with his eyes, how much is it suitable to sell?

"88 yuan per cage!" Chef Zhao said slowly.

"Why is it so expensive! What kind of tomato is worth 88 yuan?!"

"Yeah, so expensive?"

The old man in the corner saw the crystal buns brought out, his eyes lit up, and he called out to the waiter: "Little girl, come, serve me one!"

The waiter was stunned, and then agreed: "Okay, please wait a moment, I'll be right away!"

After a while, the waiter brought a plate of steamed buns. The old man opened the skin with chopsticks, added a little vinegar, and began to taste.Yes, it is that smell, alas, how many years has it been.

"Grandpa, is it delicious?"

Seeing the aftertaste on Grandpa's face, the little girl asked curiously.

"Well, yes, I ate it once many years ago, and it tastes good. The persimmons are delicious, and the seasoning is also authentic. Come, try it, the simpler the ingredients, the more it can test the chef's cooking skills!"

"Hehe, let me tell you, I'm hungry, so I'll try it too!"

The grandpa and grandson tasted it slowly. The buns were not big, and eight buns were eaten in a short while.

"Boss, give me a copy, let's try something new!"

"Waiter, I want one too!"

Seeing this situation, other guests in the lobby couldn't resist ordering a portion too. People are always curious about food they haven't eaten before, and seeing how delicious the food is, the gluttons in their stomachs also rebelled.

Li Sihai watched the two punks finish the buns in a few mouthfuls, and said with a smile, "How is it, did you two eat to your satisfaction?"

The two wiped their mouths, took a sip of tea, looked at each other, and then dropped two hundred-yuan bills and left.Needless to say, I was so devoted to eating just now, no matter how much I deny it against my will, others can see clearly.

Seeing the two trouble-seekers leaving in despair, Li Sihai felt extremely happy. Since he started negotiating with him in Huaixiangyuan, he hadn't been so happy for a long time.

"Well, it tastes really good!"

"Yes, I didn't expect that this tomato can also be used as a steamed bun!"

"It's a pity, why are they sold out, and I want to pack some for the elderly at home so that they can try something new!"

From time to time in the lobby came praises from the guests, he decided that from now on he would reorganize his restaurant.

When Meng Zhen returned to the village, he first returned the tricycle in the backyard.Second Aunt Meng accepted the pork ribs she gave with a few words of politeness, and then brought back four eggs from her own chickens from the house.Meng Zhen didn't refuse, it's like this between people, there is communication when there is communication, and what is lost is not etiquette, but the relationship between each other.

When she got home, she shut the bear that had been entwined around her feet outside the kitchen. This little guy has been clamoring to go back since he came out of the manor.Meng Zhen is so entangled by it that he can’t help it, but he can’t let it in anymore. He’s busy adding tomatoes in it, and he doesn’t eat the prepared dog food. He’s still too young to eat it too cold, otherwise he won’t have diarrhea. ?

Throw it in the temporary kennel and put it on the porch, "Stay well, I will make ribs soup for you later!"

Xiong Xiong saw that his master was determined not to let him go back, so he lay down lazily, ignoring Meng Zhen's consolation prize.

"You stinky bastard, you still have a temper?" Meng Zhen went back to the bedroom to change his clothes, dumbfounded, and then went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Washing the rice, washing the pork ribs, soaking the gluten, picking two tomatoes, washing and cutting them, and beating the eggs, Meng Zhen was busy in an orderly manner wearing an apron.Although she is not as smart as Chen Xue, as capable as Yanan, and as tough as Zhao Na, her cooking skills are the best among all the sisters.She grew up with her grandma, and from the beginning of her memory, she watched her busy by the stove.Grandma is a traditional northern woman, hardworking, kind, and able to endure hardships. She married her grandfather at the age of 14, served her in-laws, took care of her grandfather at the same age, and had five younger siblings.The tempering of life allowed a half-grown child to take on the life of a large family, and also trained her super endurance and superb cooking skills.

When I was young, my favorite thing was to follow my grandma, watching her knead steamed buns, roll out noodles, spread pancakes, and wait for the meal while drooling.Grandma likes nagging, she often babbled about this and that in her ear, and it was still annoying at that time, when she passed away, the root of her ears was finally clean, only to find that someone who loves her and loves her nagging her is a What a happy thing.

After grandma left, Meng Zhen learned all her crafts, but she can make any food that can appear on the dining table in the north.So when she lived with Chen Xue at that time, Chen Xue always sighed: whoever marries you is lucky.As a result, a few years have passed, and Chen Xue, who can only cook instant noodles, has already married, but she, the good wife and loving mother in the eyes of everyone, has been left behind.

Put the washed rice into the rice cooker, pour out the water for cooking the pork ribs, add hot water again, add aniseed, fragrant leaves, and chopped gluten, cover the pot and continue to simmer.

The tofu I bought today is very good. Many of the tofu sold now are gypsum tofu. She doesn't like it. This kind of tofu is very firm, but it has no tofu taste.It just so happened that today the stall next to it sold marinated tofu. She looked very tender, so she asked the boss to weigh a piece for her.

First cut the tofu into thin slices and put them neatly on the plate, then peel the eggs, cut them into small pieces and sprinkle them on the tofu.Cut the shredded green onion, shredded ginger and shredded vegetable pepper, and put them on the tofu.After getting the ingredients ready, she started cooking.Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, pork slices with peppers, and preserved egg tofu.

After the vegetables were fried, the pork ribs in the stew pot also gave off a strong aroma. She opened the pot lid, and the meat was fragrant.The rice in the rice cooker was ready, so she made a separate bowl of rice and broth and put it aside to cool.Xiong Xiong didn't eat much in the morning, so he must be hungry.

After all the dishes were served on the table and the bowls and chopsticks were set, Liu Jiajia and Feng Xiaoyan also entered the door.

"Sister Meng, what's wrong with Xiong Xiong? I teased it, but it ignored me!" Liu Jiajia came to the kitchen, "Wow, today's dishes are so rich, I'm starving to death!"

"Don't worry about it, it's getting angry with me. Go wash your hands, I went to the market today to sell vegetables and made a small profit, let's improve our lives!"

Meng Zhen filled three bowls of rice and asked them to wash their hands and eat.

"Sister Meng, you are going to sell vegetables. I came back yesterday to see that the vegetables in the yard are blooming. I didn't expect to sell them so soon."

Feng Xiaoyan sat on the dining chair, picked up the chopsticks, and first picked up a piece of egg, um, it was delicious!After three years of university, eating in the cafeteria all day, she felt that her sense of taste was about to degenerate. She didn't expect that Sister Meng's craftsmanship was so good, she was simply a master.

"Yeah, there are few vegetables on the market now, so I sold them early for a good price. By the way, try this gluten, it tastes better than ribs!"

"Hey, gluten can still be eaten like this. I remember the gluten my mother bought, and I ate it as a snack."

Liu Jiajia picked up a piece of stewed rotten gluten: "Well, it's delicious. It tastes like ribs, but it's stronger than ribs."

After talking, he ate a few more yuan, thinking that her mother's cooking skills are not as good as that of Sister Meng.When she gets home, she will ask her mother to stew the ribs like this.

"Yes, the preserved egg tofu is also delicious, why is it hot? I remember eating cold dishes in restaurants?"

"It's too cold now, so I fry the seasoning with hot oil and pour it on. The taste is better than cold."

"Sister Meng, you are simply amazing! I have decided, I want to worship you as my teacher and learn how to cook!"

The three of them ate and chatted.

After lunch, the two teachers went back to class, and Meng Zhen surfed the Internet for a while.It's because of the credit of the school that broadband is also available here, but the staff thinks it's a long way, so they said that they will install it for her when they come to check the line in two days.Now the internet can only be accessed wirelessly. Meng Zhen logged into QQ, chatted with the sisters in the group, and sent pictures of the new house to SHOU for everyone to see.

Because she grows her own vegetables, she is not as enthusiastic about farm games as before, and she goes offline after a few chats.

Meng Zhen planned to go to the manor to pick the vegetables to be sold tomorrow, took a few bamboo baskets, looked listless, and carried them into the manor together.As soon as I went in and put it down, it ran happily all over the ground.

Meng Zhen let it play, and started to pick vegetables by herself. She just picked so many vegetables yesterday, and today they cooked a lot. Looking at the vegetables that fell on the ground, she felt a little distressed.Alas, I must pick more today, otherwise tomorrow it will be too ripe and fall off.

PS: The gluten mentioned here is a kind of traditional pasta here. It is round, the size of a teacup, and fried. It can be eaten directly or soaked for cooking.
