Chapter Seventy-Eight: Help

Before Ning Weimin could figure it out, should he change the address on the advertisement, and if so, where should he change it.

The time has come to the day of the Bian family's great joy.

This year, due to the limitations of living conditions, there are also old customs.

The red and white affairs of the people in the capital are rarely held in restaurants outside.

Flowing water mats are still the most important form, so the courtyard often becomes a place for weddings and banquets.

Don't look at the large miscellaneous courtyard, there are many residents, small houses are lined up, and the courtyard is very crowded, it seems that it is quite inconvenient to do happy events.

But this is not the case.

Because when it really comes to a certain family to have a happy event, the neighbors in a courtyard will all think about the family, and they will all follow suit.

No one will sit back and watch the excitement at ease, and their dedication is no less than doing things for their own home.

Not for anything else, just because no one has moved in three days and two heads these days.

The neighbors who go in and out of the hospital every day and don't look up and look down are all playing in their hearts, and they are all going to watch over each other for a lifetime.

Helping others today is helping yourself tomorrow, so can you still help with sincerity?

Even if there are any discords and contradictions accumulated in ordinary times, they will often take advantage of such days to laugh and resolve them invisibly.

This was the best opportunity to address the gap between neighbors.

For example, on October 1, 1980, in the No. 2 courtyard of Fan'er Hutong, the wedding organized by the Bian family was like this.

As neighbors, the Luo family, the Mi family, Kang Shude, and Ning Weimin not only gave gifts.

And it was from the first few days before the National Day that he helped the Bian family Zhang Luo get busy.

Everyone is showing their abilities.

For example, the Luo family, the eldest grandson who just got it hasn't come out of the moon department yet.

Maternity leave was very small at the beginning of the year, and only 15 days were granted to the mother according to the regulations.

The family is very busy for the body of the eldest grandson and eldest daughter-in-law.

can be considered that the Bian family has few relatives, and Aunt Bian is in difficulty.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Luo family still happily agreed to be the "wife" of the Bian family.

Master Luo even took his eldest son to do it together, borrowed the oven in the factory, and baked fifty catties of "dragon and phoenix cakes".

As a congratulatory gift to the Bian family.

This can make the whole family of the Bian family happy, because it not only adds joy, but also practicality.

It's a great way to give it to your friends and family as a return gift.

Uncle Bian accepted the gift and said, "Ouch, it's really hard for you." This is something that cannot be found on the market, and I didn't expect the child to have this blessing. With your 'Zhengming Zhai' craftsmanship to poke, it is not only decent, uplifting, and joyful, but also the only one in the capital. Thank you for your kindness, and thank you for both of you. ”

Master Luo laughed, "Don't be polite to me." Not to mention that we have been in it for so many years, we should be shared. As the old saying goes, the goods are sold to know the family. This year, you can still see my craftsmanship. You want to be satisfied, and I'll be happy when I do it. To be honest, it's rare to get back to this if you don't do this thing anymore. ”

The Mi family is the same, Aunt Mi not only helped Aunt Bian sew four covers for Bian Jianjun's two children.

He also took advantage of the non-staple food store to help the family to buy a series of chicken, duck, fish, meat, rice, flour, sugar and oil at the most affordable price.

I got half a fan of pork alone, and for the time being, all these things can be stored in the freezer of the grocery store, which is really a big problem.

And Ning Weimin also made a small sacrifice and vacated his small kitchen.

He and Kang Shude have not been on fire in the past two days, and this room is specially for the Bian family to store all kinds of sundries of melons, fruits and vegetables.

On the day of the feast, this small room can also be used as a tea stall specializing in making tea and pouring water.

As for the crucial chef, it is an old friend invited by Kangshude, who has worked in the "Ruibin Building" in the door frame alley for most of his life.

This Master Liu is 65 years old this year, not only has he retired, but he is really not small.

The day before the wedding, Master Liu brought two apprentices to make preparations, and the people of the old capital called this "settled".

His two apprentices were in their thirties and forties, one carrying two wooden boxes, the other carrying a large burden.

The old man swaggered away in front, and the two apprentices were honest, and followed behind.

When you get here, open these things and take a second look.

The box contains not only pots for cooking, but also bowls, plates, spoons and other utensils, all of which are a complete set of guys.

In the baggage are knives, which are even more exquisite.

A kitchen knife, a sheep's face knife, a knife.

The face of the sheep is slanted, and the flesh is removed.

The knife is to cut vegetables and condiments.

In addition, there is an iron spoon and a fence, all of which are long, and they are all jujube handles.

The jujube wood handle is hard, burned, carrying the fire, and because of the years of dyeing, it has been shiny and shiny, and the red is like a burning fire.

Just these things, at a glance, they are professional.

Subsequently, the two apprentices began to build stoves and prepare food in the courtyard.

A young master was very quick in building stoves, and in a short time he built two stoves in the courtyard.

The chef who prepared the dishes was also very neat and began the preparations, cutting the meat and chopping the stuffing.

Then one of the two cleaned up the fish, chickens and ducks, and the other set up a frying pan and croquettes.

What kind of balls are oiled to seventy, what kind of balls are oiled to fifty percent, to sixty percent, and some of the three are ripe to get up to the stove, and the maturity of the oil is different.

However, during the whole process, this Master Liu did not touch any work, but just sat at the side house with Kang Shude to drink tea and smoke.

Then look at the things in the kitchen with the host and make a total of what kind of mat to make.

I didn't even look at the two apprentices who were busy in the courtyard.

When they left, the old couple of the Bian family still respectfully sent it to Master Liu.

Then he turned around and thanked Kangshude vigorously.

Just this scene, I can see that these young people in the courtyard are all guilty of mystery.

No one knows how capable this old man is, and he deserves to be nodded by the old couple of the Bian family.

Even Ning Weimin and Bian Jiangong, when the two of them got together, they all whispered about it.

"As for it, the chef of Ruibin Building, no matter how good he is, he won't just make a blanket and burn it, how can he catch up with the emperor's cook?"

"Yes, how much ability does this person have to have this style? I don't believe that he can make dragon meat with his elbow? Those two apprentices really serve him like this. How old is this? Why is the feudal consciousness still so strong......"

Master Luo heard it, and one of them rewarded a brain scoop, and then squeezed the two of them.

"You two know a piece of, and you don't know what's wrong. Speaking of others, let's take a look at the market outside, and now the educated youths who have come back are all getting married, and it is not easy to invite chefs. Good chefs like this are even harder to find. Master Liu is retired, if it weren't for your Uncle Kang's face, people wouldn't have come out of the mountain. ”

"Besides, what's wrong with this blanket fire? Don't look down on it, is that an ordinary food? It's a food unique to Kouzi Kitchen. If you look for it in the capital, only the Ruibin Building will do this, why? Just because this Ruibin Building is the only one that has broken the rule that the kitchen does not open a restaurant for thousands of years. ”

"What is a Kouzi Kitchen? I don't know yet, do you? Tell you two, that's a chef in our capital who only runs a greenhouse to make banquets, and is specially busy with red and white ceremonies. Since the liberation, the city has paid attention to changing customs and customs, and red and white things are simple, and there is no place for the mouth cook. So now it is in the vein of this Ruibin Building that it can afford to be the real beam of this red and white celebration. It is this Master Liu who knows how to arrange the table. ”

Bian Jiangong was still a little unconvinced.

"Master Luo, I don't understand what you're saying. Ah, the chef who co-owns another restaurant is not a chef. It doesn't have to be in this vein. Then why don't they just go to the Great Hall of the People for a state banquet? I don't believe it, they really have such a high level of consciousness that they don't go to the court, and they are not willing to serve the people?"

"Hey, you kid, sincerely raise the bar?"

Master Luo bared his teeth and began to teach.

"You also said that the chefs in other restaurants may have a higher level of cooking than this Master Liu, I admit it. A private banquet is different from a state banquet. Those who can hold a state banquet really can't hold this wedding banquet. Why? ”

"The level of the national banquet is high, and the materials are all exclusively supplied, when have you ever heard of a shortage of materials. But Master Liu's ability is here. I have learned the skill of Kouzi Chef once in the past, twelve dishes, these twelve dishes have nothing, except for pork is cabbage, and one dish is one flavor. Is the cook of this state banquet okay?"

"The most important thing is also the most popular place for Kouzi Kitchen. That is to value faithfulness, be able to think for the sake of the client, be considerate, and never lose people. Not only do they make good use of the ingredients in the dishes they make, but they are always more hearty and affordable than the original, and they will never cut corners. For those who are not financially well-off, they can also find a way to complete the seemingly impossible task according to the price negotiated in advance. ”

"When the chef is negotiating, he must talk about the style of the table in person, whether there is a file of fish, shrimp and sea cucumber, or a file of chicken, duck and fish, or rice noodle meat, lion's head, red stewed elbow and so on. In particular, it is important to state whether it is for food, good looks, or to save money in order to decide what to do. ”

The common mats include "eight bowls and one sea", "eight bowls and two seas", "eight seas and one pot", "nine flowers", "four ends" and so on. But no matter how frugal it is, it is mainly based on stir-fried meat, and there must be meatballs. ”

For example, a table of 10 people, each person only has the money to eat a plate of fried cakes or a bowl of beef noodles in the restaurant. In this case, the host himself is often blushing and embarrassed to speak.

"I'll tell you, if you have enough heads, you name a specific amount of money. The mouth kitchen should be, and it can also make such a table beautiful. Either four large plates of stir-fried meat, two bowls of stew, a large pot of soup, rice, steamed buns and flower rolls. Either it is four large plates of meat stir-fry, a bowl of diced meat fried sauce, a bowl of meat slices and eggs marinated, and enough noodles in water. ”

"To put it bluntly, people make money from their kitchens, all by their craftsmanship, and never waste raw materials to save money. The principle of doing things is always 'no one loses anyone, hello, I am good, everyone is good', so as to attract repeat customers. For this reason, ordinary people in the capital do not look for restaurants, but only find outlets. Change to a restaurant cook, you say okay......"

Just this sentence, Ning Weimin and Bian Jiangong were silent.

Especially Bian Jiangong, after thinking about it, what he said just now was really a bit cheap.
