Chapter 017: Promoted to Corporal
The pans, eggs, and flour were all together, and Fang Yuan didn't ink and started to prepare everyone's dinner directly, and everyone was reluctant to leave and gather around to watch the excitement.
Fang Yuan first found the basin that he usually used to make salads in the kitchen, knocked the eggs into the flour, added water, and added salt to make a thin paste, but he didn't use the green onions that Yaerbed found.
After completing the preparation work easily, Fang Yuan began to clean up the pan.
Taking advantage of Fang Yuan's departure, Albede leaned over and looked down at the slimy paste in the iron basin, and was stunned for a while before raising his head to look at Fang Yuan, and said slowly, "That's it?"
Yarbede's face was incredulous and disgusted, and the captain and the others were also full of doubts about the pancake that Fang Yuan said.
Because the ingredients used by Fang Yuan were too ordinary, and the preparation process was even simpler, and it was completed in a few clicks, they didn't believe how delicious the things made in such a perfunctory way could be.
The captain followed the major to China for a trip, and they were conquered by the eyes, mouth, nose and stomach, and the collective fell and completely surrendered, becoming die-hard fans of Chinese cuisine, it can be said that they did not eat Chinese dishes for a period of time, and they were uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
In the impression of the captain and others, Chinese food is full of color and flavor, it is a work of art from a distance, and it is delicious to eat in the mouth, but the ingredients are expensive and the production is complicated, which tests the chef's skills very much.
The captain and others spent a lot of money to eat the best Buddha jumping over the wall, and it is said that he is a top chef and must make an appointment more than a month in advance.
According to the Major, the best Buddha jumping over the wall they ate was top-quality adult South African abalone, ten 2,500 Chinese coins.
The king of fish maw, Taishan red mouth fish maw, six pieces of 3500 Chinese coins.
The best sea cucumber, ten 2500 Chinese coins.
With morels, RB scallops, matsutake mushrooms, beef tendons, fish lips, etc., just the ingredients used are worth more than 10,000 yuan, not to mention the price of the captain and others who can buy flour the size of ten thatched houses.
The ingredients are more expensive or secondary, and the production of the best Buddha jumping over the wall is even more complicated and cumbersome, and even requires special utensils.
It takes five days to soak abalone, sea cucumber, etc., and it takes 12 hours to simmer and cook the soup, and finally it is cooked with an old Fujian wine jar and lotus leaves...... In short, it takes six or seven days to complete the whole process of soaking, frying, steaming, etc., so it is no wonder that you have to make an appointment more than a month in advance.
It took a sky-high price, after a painful wait, but when the black old wine jar was served, it was only slightly lifted the lotus leaf, and the wine was already fragrant, and the fragrance was floating in all directions, and the strange fragrance went straight into the heart and spleen, which made people intoxicated.
The soup is thick and brown, thick but not greasy.
It tastes soft and tender, rich and fragrant, meat but not greasy, and the ingredients penetrate each other, and the deliciousness is intertwined.
The captain and others felt that the Buddha jumped over the wall with all the color and fragrance, there was a forced style, high grade, the soup was delicious, and the nutrition was rich, which was the authentic Chinese cuisine and the real delicacy of the world.
And what about the pancakes made by Fang Yuan in front of him?
Just mix the noodles with water, then knock the eggs into it, stir it vigorously a few times to form a paste, and even forget to add the green onions.
Compared with the two, everyone thinks that Fang Yuan's pancake, whether it is good looking or forced to be not at the same level as the Buddha jumping over the wall, is simply weak, and it can even be said to be shabby.
Some of the team members were so disappointed that they shook their heads sadly and walked away, unwilling to wait any longer, except for the Major, the Captain, and Jarbede who stopped to watch.
Fang Yuan didn't pay attention to everyone, cleaned up the pan, and then poured oil to heat, and then poured the thin batter into it.
The batter gathered in a pile was gently swayed by Fang Yuan with a spatula, and like magic, a perfect circle appeared in front of him.
As the temperature rises, the pancakes inside become golden, looking thin, soft, and crystal clear, as if the ugly duckling has transformed into a swan in an instant, and it has already been gorgeously transformed into what it was just now.
Fang Yuan's simple operation actually had such a magical effect?
Next to him, Albede's mouth was slightly open, his eyes were round, and he couldn't believe that such a wonderful thing could happen.
A pancake came out of the pan in less than three minutes, and this exaggerated speed caused Yarbede to exclaim again, and even attracted the team members who had left again.
Looking at the golden pancakes in the porcelain plate, Albede grabbed it in his hand first, even if he was grinning at the afterglow, he still refused to give up.
The temperature dropped slightly, and Jarbede tentatively took a small bite, the soft and sweet taste hit the taste buds, and the fresh and refreshing feeling went straight to the brain.
It's delicious, this kind of taste is completely different from the Buddha jumping over the wall, and it is indeed very delicious.
As Albede looked up and savored the special delicacy, the others asked curiously and nervously what it tasted like.
"How can I say it? As if she was afraid that others would compete with her, she stuffed the rest of the pancakes into her mouth, chewing gently with her small mouth, and organized her language a little, "If Buddha jumping over the wall is Pavarotti's rich and classic tenor, then Fang Yuan's pancakes are Brad Paisri's brisk and lively country music, these are two completely different cuisines, anyway, I think it's very delicious, I love this taste." ”
Albede's high opinion of pancakes proves that simple ingredients and simple preparation methods can still make them delicious.
The people who were full of curiosity couldn't control it anymore, and snatched up every pancake Fang Yuan made.
When I ate the pancakes in my mouth, it was exactly the same as what Al Bede described, the fragrance of flour, the sweetness of eggs, soft and slippery, very suitable for the taste of the security company members, and it was indeed a completely different delicacy from Buddha jumping over the wall.
Seeing the chickens and dogs jumping for a piece of pancakes, Fang Yuan laughed happily and shouted at Yaerbed: "Do you want to experience the authentic way of eating pancakes?"
"There is still an authentic way to eat pancakes?" grabbed the pancakes, and the team members who didn't grab the pancakes were all stunned, and looked at Fang Yuan stupidly, not knowing what he meant.
"Life must have a sense of ritual, and eating pancakes must be in the most elegant and classic posture, otherwise you can't experience the deliciousness of pancakes and feel the artistic conception of eating pancakes. Fang Yuan uncovered a green onion, revealing the crystal white onion inside, and then stuffed it directly into Yarbede's left hand.
Then just like Yaerbede just now told about using himself as a model for a drill when he beat the Zhengfu army in a Chinese restaurant, Fang Yuan pressed Yaerbed's shoulders with both hands and made her squat on the ground.
Seeing that Albede was holding a pancake in his right hand and a long green onion in his left hand, squatting there and staggering and about to fall at any time, the major secretly scolded Fang Yuan for being too damaged, but he still bit his lip to keep himself from laughing.
Yarbed couldn't hold the 'Asian squat' posture for a long time, so he simply threw himself forward and knelt on the ground to stabilize his body, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Jarbede looked at the green onion in his left hand and the pancake in his right hand, and hesitated for two seconds before taking a big bite of the pancake and then the green onion.
With the click, a spicy smell rushed to the top of her head, and her tears flowed out instantly, and her mother shouted.
But when the spicy green onion white and the crispy pancake are mixed together, a strange taste appears, and the fresh, fragrant and refreshing taste is even more extreme than just now.
"Delicious, indeed delicious. "Jarbede was binge-eating green onions and pancakes while tearfully advertising this 'most authentic' and 'classic' way of eating.
Seeing that it really had an effect, the team members next to him held green onions in one hand and pancakes in the other, and knelt on the ground, as if Qingming went to the grave, tears were pouring out.
What Fang Yuan didn't know was that his original joke of teasing Yaerbede had finally become the traditional posture of the security company eating pancakes, which was strictly maintained both at the base and when he was on a mission.
Fang Yuan's joke was too loud, he didn't dare to tell the truth, he didn't dare to pull the captain up, so he had to beg for mercy with his eyes at the major who forced his smile and caused his face to distort, begging him not to expose himself, otherwise this group of mercenaries who knew the truth would not strip their skins and hang them on the trees to light the sky lanterns?
When Albede was full, he wiped his tears and reluctantly got up from the ground, but he still stood next to Fang Yuan and watched him spread pancakes.
Fang Yuan used a spatula to simply turn around, easily and comfortably turned a bunch of batter thin and round, Albede thought it was very funny, and for a while he was childlike, pulling Fang Yuan's arm with both hands, shouting that she would also practice selling pancakes, and returned to the orphanage to give the old dean who had lost his teeth to eat.
"Okay. The pancakes made by Fang Yuan are thin and soft, as Jarbede said, it is indeed very suitable for the elderly and children with bad teeth, since she wants to learn, Fang Yuan does not hide her secrets, and demonstrates it intimately first, telling the essentials of the action and precautions.
However, looking at what Fang Yuan did very simply, easily, the same spatula, the same batter, the same pan, Yaerbede either poured more batter or poured less, either as thick as body armor, or as rotten as a lump of ......
Albede is also a solid eye, defeated again and again, defeated again and again, and plays a lot of things.
The captain who was kneeling there finished eating the pancakes and green onions, wiped his tears and secretly came to the major's side, and found that he was actually standing and eating the pancakes and green onions, and shouted with a surprised face: "Why don't you eat pancakes in the most authentic and classic posture in China? I tell you that it is very, very refreshing to eat on your knees." ”
After saying that, the captain grabbed the major's arm and wanted him to kneel down like everyone else.
The major glared viciously at the back of Fang Yuan, who was spreading pancakes in the orthodox Yaerbed, and in his heart, 10,000 alpacas snorted and rushed by.
Although the major was unhappy, he still didn't expose Fang Yuan's old background, and he was afraid that the angry captain and others would hang up and beat this angry and favorite little fellow of China.
"Captain, have you forgotten that I'm hurt?" the Major shook off the overzealous captain and pointed to his arms and legs in a huff.
"Hey, look at me, I forgot that you were injured, and when the injury is healed, you must remember to eat on your knees. After the captain kindly told the major, he suddenly glanced at Fang Yuan and said, "Huaxia cuisine is amazing, such simple ingredients and steps can make such delicious food, the key is to save money." ”
The major rolled his eyes, and he really didn't want to play tricks on him anymore, so he said kindly: "The pancakes in Fang Yuan's stall are really delicious, and it is also because you taste it for the first time, so you feel novel, and if you eat too much, it will be like that." ”
"Of course I know that the key is that it's easy to make, it's perfect for a mission, and the most important thing is to save money. The captain suddenly said to the major secretly, "We have found a treasure, you go and ask Fang Yuan, let him not go back to Huaxia, simply join our security company as a full-time cook, and we can save a lot of money in the future." ”
"Okay, Fang Yuan is indeed an excellent chef, and I also like this little fellow very much, I'll go and find out his opinion. "The captain said three times in a row, 'You can save a lot of money', the major was happy, but he didn't forget to fight for Fang Yuan's welfare, "How is his salary calculated?"
"Since you have officially joined the security company, of course, you will follow the rules and regulations. The captain thought for a moment for two seconds, "Fang Yuan is now treated like a private, and he is officially promoted to the rank of corporal like Mike, and regardless of whether he is on a mission or not, it will be raised from one hundred dollars to three hundred dollars a day." ”
