Chapter 18: The Beggar
Chen Hao nodded: "Yes, in order to celebrate, let's eat something unique today!"
Ling'er's face was full of anticipation: "What is it? How does it taste compared to barbecue?"
"I won't let you down!" Chen Hao tapped Ling'er's nose, and then he entered the mall to buy some seafood, in her previous life, her cooking skills were actually quite good, and cooking seafood was just a piece of cake.
Looking at the pipi shrimp and crabs jumping around in the big basin, Ling'er's eyes showed a look of surprise, because this was something she had never seen before, or even said she had never heard of.
But they were strangely long, with so many legs and two sharp claws, and they looked a little scared.
"Childe, what is this?" Ling'er couldn't help but take a few steps back, for fear that these things would run out of the basin, but Chen Hao rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start working.
"Ling'er, you go down and ask the shopkeeper to leave us a place in the back kitchen, and I'll do it myself." Chen Hao instructed with a smile, in fact, when he was in a foreign country, he was very nostalgic for tasting the delicious food of his hometown.
What's more, the current category is no longer a foreign country, but has directly changed to another world.
Ling'er answered and went downstairs, while Chen Hao was upstairs preparing to clean these things, at least to get rid of the fishy smell, worried that Ling'er would not be used to eating them, after all, he had not been exposed to these before.
"Then again, isn't there no fish and shrimp in this world?" Chen Hao muttered to himself while doing the operation, in his memory, Chen Hao has never encountered shrimp and crabs in this world, and the only thing that can be called seafood is fish.
However, after thinking about it, he felt that it was still possible because of the region, after all, in Liangcheng, and even in the vicinity of the entire Great Qin Empire, he had not heard of a large sea area, so it was normal for things like seafood to be rare.
Ling'er quickly ordered, but when she came back, she had a sad face, Chen Hao couldn't help but wonder after seeing it, and asked questioningly: "What's wrong with you?
Ling'er hurriedly shook her head: "It's not the shopkeeper, it's the chef." ”
"What's wrong with the chef?" Chen Hao couldn't figure it out.
"The chef thought we didn't look down on his cooking skills, so he lost his temper with the shopkeeper, and anyway, he talked a lot, and I felt as if I had done something wrong. Ling'er said very aggrievedly, and after Chen Hao heard it, he suddenly realized, took Ling'er into his arms, and rubbed his head.
"I see, I think I should know what's going on, I'll go tell him myself. ”
It is estimated that the chef thought that Chen Hao wanted to rob him of his job, or that he didn't trust his cooking skills, so he decided to cook himself, and then his self-esteem as a chef was hit, and he was not satisfied and couldn't say or do anything to Chen Hao, so he could only send his complaints to the boss, that is, the shopkeeper.
But it's really not that Chen Hao doesn't trust him, the main thing is that this kind of food has not appeared in the nearby area, so most of the chefs here don't cook for such food, even if he gives these things to him to make, he won't, and even if he can barely make it, I'm afraid it's not as good as himself.
Soon Chen Hao packed up all the things that should be packed, and walked to the back kitchen with the crabs and shrimp in the big basin, the back kitchen has left a vacant space, and the kitchen utensils have been prepared and placed neatly.
At the same time, he found a big fat man smoking a dry cigarette sitting in the corner, muttering something indignantly.
Chen Hao estimated that this was probably the chef.
"Come here, buddy. Chen Hao thought about it, smiled and beckoned to the chef: "You are the chef here, right?"
"What's the matter?" the big fat man ignored Chen Hao's greeting.
The latter smiled, but didn't care.
"You don't need to take a look, can you get these things when you come over and take a look?" Chen Hao put a large pot of crabs and shrimp on the table, and the big fat man who smelled the fishy smell early seemed to be a little interested, so he walked over, and after seeing the ingredients inside, he couldn't help but exclaim: "This is shrimp and crabs that only exist in the North Sea?"
After Chen Hao heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, just as he guessed, there really is such a thing in this world.
"You know. Chen Hao began to boil water, and the chef nodded hurriedly: "Of course I know this." ”
"So, you'll do the same?" asked Chen Hao as he busied himself with his work.
The fat man shook his head again and again: "Don't say it, I really don't know how to do this, I saw my master do it once, but that time, this kind of ingredient is too rare in us, there is no way, and I can't get it at all." ”
"So you know why I want to do it myself, right?" Chen Hao glanced at her with a smile: "If you're not busy, come over and help me help, you look at a little girl over there, willing to let her touch something like oil smoke?"
Chen Hao looked at Ling'er meaningfully, the fat man patted his chest directly, where is there still the appearance of a wronged woman just now?
"Okay, Brother Le, don't worry, I can't get this thing, but it's absolutely no problem to get started. The fat man smiled: "This young lady, you should hurry out and find a seat to drink tea, and wait." ”
Chen Hao also agreed and said: "Go, Ling'er, it won't be long before the delicious food will be delivered to you." ”
Ling'er nodded obediently, and then walked out of the back kitchen.
"You helped me get the Shopee and be the chef here. Knife skills shouldn't be bad, right?" Chen Hao casually instructed, for a chef with faith, the fear of encountering fresh or longing ingredients is greater than the temptation of a man seeing a woman.
He believed that as long as the crabs and shrimp were here, and he did it, the chef would do whatever he was told.
Chen Hao in the process of production, of course, did not forget to take out some seasonings that do not belong to this world, the fat man asked what this is, he can only say that it is an exclusive secret recipe, otherwise how to explain it?
After about an hour, a large pot of crab and shrimp was already out of the pot, because of the combination of the cooking methods of the two worlds, Chen Hao instantly smelled the rich aroma of crab meat.
Speaking of which, I don't even know when the last time I ate seafood.
This thing was placed in the previous life, and it was not something that could be eaten anytime and anywhere, and it was very expensive.
After the thing was brought out, it naturally attracted the attention of countless people, because the taste was too tempting.
"What is this?
"I don't know, it's the first time I've seen this kind of taste, and I can't help but want to eat a few bites just by smelling it. ”
"It's so delicious, my appetite has increased greatly, I can eat it directly. ”
"No matter how much it costs, I have to eat it once, and if I don't eat it, it's a waste of time to walk around the world. ”
Chen Hao listened to the praise of the people around him, and naturally he was full of vanity, but there were not too many ingredients, Chen Hao had no intention of selling them for the time being, so he let himself, Ling'er and this big fat man eat first.
"Sit down and eat together. Chen Hao pointed to the seat next to him and looked at the chef and said.
The fat man couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Do I have a share?"
Chen Hao smiled: "How can Ling'er and I eat so many things, and besides, I won't let you fight in vain." ”
The fat man rubbed his hands excitedly: "Then I might as well be respectful." ”
The last time I saw the master make it for others, he was not blessed with such a delicacy at all, and now that he has the opportunity, how could he let it go?
"I said, Zhao Fatty, what kind of dish are you? Hurry up and serve everyone a portion, it doesn't matter how much it is, the main thing is that we are looking at it here. ”
"That's right, I don't know if I have a new dish to announce it, which makes everyone's mouth watering here, who still lacks these few dollars?"
Zhao Fatzi stood up, pressed his hand, coughed twice, and motioned for these people to be quiet.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you misunderstood, this dish is not a new dish launched by our Anyang Building, but this guest officer, the ingredients brought by others, their own techniques, and their own seasonings, even I am just helping others. Zhao Fatzi explained: "Otherwise, you think I have a chance to sit here and eat?"
When everyone heard this, they were stunned, and they freely put their eyes on the basin and Chen Hao, and swallowed their saliva.
Chen Hao couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't expect a meal to cause such a big commotion, in his previous life, although seafood was more expensive, it was not a particularly rare thing, and it was really rare to be expensive, in this place where there was no sea area, the creatures in the water were strange to death.
After Chen Hao put aside a shrimp, he put it in front of Ling'er, he was eating it for the first time, and he definitely didn't know how to do it.
"That's it, I still have some ingredients here, how I did it just now, you must have seen it, I'll make the seasoning for you, and then distribute it to these guests, how to collect the money, how about collecting the money?" Chen Hao sucked his fingers and looked at Zhao Fatzi and proposed.
After Zhao Fatzi heard this, of course his eyes lit up, he was very interested in this kind of ingredient, and he didn't hide it when Chen Hao made it just now, she naturally wrote it all down.
Zhao Fatzi happily went to work, Chen Hao didn't want to give these things to others to eat, those people were greedy, so they could only be greedy.
The two of them feasted, Ling'er ate very happily, and when she was about to be full, a sloppy old man suddenly came in from outside the door.
"Ouch, it's a familiar taste. After the sloppy old man pushed everyone away, he unceremoniously sat down between Chen Hao Ling'er and the two of them.
"I'll you, who is this? Why does it stink so much?"
"Where did this beggar come from?
"Don't hurry up and let the people from Anyang Building come out and beat him out!"
Someone kept covering his nose and leaning to the side, because this old man was so smelly, Chen Hao couldn't help frowning, this is a fishy smell, different from blood, more like the taste of seafood after mold.
