Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Bowl of Egg Fried Rice
The wind stopped raining overnight, and the sky was blue.
Not long after breakfast, Zhang Yunqi heard the school's announcement, the blocked mountain road in Shilingang had been cleared, and at half past ten, all the students gathered together to return to the city.
Before leaving, Zhang Yunqi thought that it was not easy for Xu Guochun and his wife to provide them with food and drink, so he took out all the Mao Mao tickets in his pocket and counted them, a total of 36 yuan and 8 cents, and after tidying up, he put them under the pillow of the wing room where he first slept last night.
When he went out, Xu Guochun sent them to the gate of the small courtyard, and his daughter-in-law was afraid that a few dolls would be hungry halfway, so she steamed a few sweet potatoes and put them in a plastic bag for Wang Xiaokai to carry and eat when he was hungry on the road, and said that he would come to play often in the future.
When the group of seven people walked to the main road at the bottom of the mountain pass, they also saw the rural couple waving to them.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the bus arrived in the city.
It just so happened that on the weekend, there was no need to go to class, and as soon as the car arrived at the city No. 1 Middle School, the hungry big guys with their chests and backs went back to their respective homes to find their mothers. Zhang Yunqi beckoned several of his classmates to have lunch at Zhang Jiqi Fengdu Fish Powder Shop opposite the school.
When she crossed the street at the school gate, Xiao Xuemei suddenly pointed to a banner hanging on the telephone pole diagonally opposite and said, "Eh, Yufei! This is not an advertisement for your Longjing Garden, okay, it has hit the opposite side of our school, tsk...... You see, at the door of the small restaurant next door, there are posters of your canned food. ”
Li Yufei was stunned, looked at the banner advertising slogan on the telephone pole and subconsciously read: "Let the big pot dish also have the taste of home - Canned tempeh in Longjingyuan." ”
Immediately, she looked at Zhang Yunqi with a smile.
Zhang Yunqi smiled and shook his head.
This advertising slogan is not what he thinks, but it is purely for school boarding students, but it can be regarded as a pain point. I don't know if the employee of the local promotion group of Liansheng Marketing Department came up with it, I am pleased.
Lin Xueqing next to her said: "This, I haven't eaten this canned tempeh, it's new, it looks good." ”
"It's not good, it's very good. Wang Xiaokai, who had already known the truth, beat his chest at this time and boasted: "I have eaten this canned tempeh hot sauce, and it tastes quite good! Let's buy one or two bottles and try it, and the food in the school cafeteria is really unpalatable. ”
Lin Xueqing rolled her eyes: "I still need you to talk about it, the new canned food from Yufei's factory, of course we will support it." ”
Wang Xiaokai was unhappy when he heard this: "Grandma, let's make one yard into one yard, a factory of such a big size is open to do business, relying on product quality, whether it is delicious or not, and it is not affordable, if you rely on this personal feeling, you will be yellow." ”
"I'm sorry, but I'm still a personal feeling. I'm not a boarder, I eat at home every day, and I have nothing to do to buy canned tempeh to eat, can I hold on?"
"Hey, if you want to say that, then I have to be more serious with you, this canned tempeh hot sauce series in Renlongjingyuan is not the same thing as the previous canned Chunjiang fish, canned Chunjiang fish is a finished product, eat directly, but this canned tempeh hot sauce can not only give us boarders and small white-collar workers who don't like to cook to eat bibimbap, it is more important to use as a condiment in the kitchen, you can mix noodles and fried noodles and fried rice to cook, Lin Xueqing, I remember you didn't say that you like to eat roast chicken and spicy pig's trotters, my brother told you, next time your mother makes spicy pig's trotters, let your mother warm tea oil, put this tempeh hot sauce and stir-fry until fragrant, and then stir-fry the star anise cinnamon and pig's trotters together, Finally, add a bottle of beer and simmer for forty minutes, I believe brother, you don't need to put Fang Yuan chili, the taste is absolutely overwhelming!"
"I said Kaizi, you are the head of the way, why are you working so hard?"
"Because he's eaten it and thinks it's good. Zhang Yunqi listened to the two arguing enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "That's it, everyone is hungry, how about we eat Longjingyuan tempeh hot sauce fried rice at noon today?"
"Then I'll wait for a big meal, let's go!" Zhang Yunqi's number one sycophant Wang Xiaokai agreed with both hands.
Zhang Yunqi led everyone to the fishmeal shop at home.
On the weekend, at this time, it was already past lunch, there were two or three guests in the store, my mother was not there, I went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and the store was Chunlan and the first time I saw my mother Jiang Feng, who was trapped in the Jinping mining area yesterday, Zhang Yunqi called and told his family, Chunlan also knew, and asked him for a long time, so he took a drink popsicle from the refrigerator and entertained a few girls who saw Li Yufei for the first time, and Zhang Yunqi made Longjingyuan tempeh hot sauce fried rice.
The ingredients are simple, overnight leftovers, eggs, plus Longjingyuan tempeh chili sauce and green onions.
There are naturally leftover rice eggs, and there are more canned new products of Longjingyuan tempeh chili sauce. Longjingyuan canning factory to promote new products, as the chairman's mother Zhang Ma is more concerned than Zhang Yunqi, Liansheng's promotion has just begun, Zhang Yunqi even the marketing department of the local push team in the city's major schools to engage in offline carpet push activities have not yet understood, but Zhang Ma has worked hard for this matter, the fishmeal shop has a poster on the wall, a banner is hung at the door, and several large boxes of canned food are bought in the fishmeal shop.
Although the fried rice with tempeh sauce looks simple, it is actually very good at cooking. After Zhang Yunqi made some dry leftovers, he beat the eggs thoroughly and evenly, heated the pot, put lard, turned on medium-low heat, and then poured in the eggs, and at the same time took the spatula in the other hand, quickly circled in the pot, and scrambled the eggs apart, which was very fast, because this can prevent the eggs from clumping, so as to scramble the eggs and fry the frangipani, and the egg fragrance will be completely stimulated, in addition, the eggs are also easier to evenly wrap on the rice.
After frying, the timing of pouring in the rice is particularly important. Because the aroma of eggs is getting stronger and stronger with scrambling, if you pour rice too early, the eggs will not be fragrant enough, but if you are late, the eggs will become old and browned, affecting the taste. The best way to judge when to pour rice is to look at the color, and when the color of the egg changes from light yellow to dark yellow, Zhang Yunqi pours rice into the pot, and the egg at this time is particularly fragrant.
After the rice was poured in, Zhang Yunqi turned on a low heat and crushed all the rice lumps with a spatula, and then added Longjingyuan's tempeh hot sauce to it, completely stir-fried and stir-fried, mixed evenly with rice and egg crushed eggs and tempeh, and then added chopped green onions, and then put it on a plate and put it on the table.
The big guys all came around, at this time out of the pot egg fried rice, the eggs have been scattered into a small golden yellow, the edge of the rice grains is slightly hard, the heat mixed with the aroma of Fang Yuan pepper and tempeh from the cracks of the rice grains, the fragrance is overflowing, everyone has not eaten in the morning, hungry, took a spoon and started eating directly, even Chunlan listened to everyone say that it was delicious and delicious, and couldn't help but take a spoon and pull a bite, after eating, she was very unhappy: "Second brother, I said that you are really too lazy to take the edge!" It's so delicious, and you always let me fry rice for you after school!"
Several girls are laughing, and they are very gentle.
Wang Xiaokai was very strong, he directly took an iron basin and devoured it, ate too hard, and was choked half to death, he poured a glass of water and burped twice, then touched his stomach and said slowly: "Boss Zhang, I think your family can take down the shop next to you and open a Longjingyuan egg fried restaurant." ”
Zhang Yunqi washed the pot and sat over: "Then don't you have to eat and drink for half a month?"
Wang Xiaokai snorted: "Why don't you, the son of a landlord, have any sympathy for me, a poor middle peasant? ”
Zhang Yunqi stuffed a mouthful of fried rice into his mouth and said, "I estimate that if there are poor middle peasants like you in China, then our great construction of the four modernizations will have to play with calves." ”
At this time, Xiao Xuemei interjected: "Yunqi, how do you make this Longjingyuan tempeh hot sauce fried rice?"
Zhang Yun was happy: "Do you want to learn?"
"That's right, if you don't pass on some experience, my parents haven't come home from school every day, and when I'm hungry, I'll fry rice by myself, and next time I buy a few bottles of this Longjingyuan tempeh chili sauce and fry it." ”
Xiao Xuemei's situation was very common in that era, students, who were growing up and were prone to hunger. But in the 90s, the standard of living was not high, and I couldn't afford to eat snacks, so when I came home from school, my parents were not there, so I made egg fried rice by myself, put some soy sauce and lard to fry leftovers, not to mention, it really tasted good. However, for Zhang Yunqi to say, the days of squatting on the threshold of the entrance of the small courtyard in tattered clothes, wiping his nose and eating the leftovers fried by himself with a little lard and soy sauce already exist only in his memory, after going out to study and work, he has traveled a lot of places, and has eaten countless kinds of egg fried rice, sometimes in the street food stalls in the middle of the night, sometimes it is the staple food after dinner in luxury hotels, but he just can't find the taste of his childhood, the taste of childhood.
Zhang Yunqi said to Xiao Xuemei with a smile: "My approach is not standard, wait for a while, let's see how the chef on TV does it." ”
Xiao Xuemei was a little surprised: "This, is it on TV?"
Zhang Yun nodded: "After a while, the TV stations in our province and city will release a new food program, and there will be this egg fried rice in it." ”
