After returning home, Jiang Feng found Wu Minqi lying on the sofa in pajamas and applying a mask, listening to music while applying the mask. While taking care of your skin, you don't forget to understand the enemy's situation, which is very touching.

Jiang Feng glanced at the TV, and the picture was showing a little brother who looked okay and was squeezing cream on the muffin, but it was a pity that he didn't see this little brother at the rehearsal site this afternoon, and it was obvious that he was eliminated.

"Feng Feng, why did you come back? Have you eaten?" Wu Minqi asked with a tight mouth, reaching out and grabbing the mobile phone that was playing music on the coffee table and glanced at the time.

With an exclamation, a carp straightened, a mask that had been torn off in a hurry.

"I forgot about the alarm clock and left it on for two more minutes. ”

Jiang Feng: ?

Although he didn't understand what could happen if the mask was left on for two more minutes, he could see that it was obviously not appropriate to discuss with Wu Minqi the feasibility of diverting the Eight Treasure Chestnut Pigeon's thickening method to Jiang's ginseng soup, a topic they had been discussing for several days.

After Wu Minqi finished washing his face and did a skin care that Jiang Feng didn't know the specific steps clearly, he came out of the bathroom, and repeated the question just now.

"No, Master Qin's body hasn't fully recovered yet, and he is too good to eat according to the doctor's instructions, so I didn't eat in Yongheju. I originally wanted to come back and buy pancakes and fruits to eat at the gate of the community, but I didn't expect that the couple didn't come out of the stall today. Jiang Feng said, sitting on the sofa and not wanting to get up, "I'll just cook a bowl of noodles by myself later." ”

Wu Minqi nodded and yawned: "I don't know why I feel so sleepy after I came back today, I feel that there is nothing to rehearse and let us walk on stage a few times, hey, I'm so tired, I have to go to sleep later." ”

"By the way, Uncle Jiang helped you put the ginseng soup you didn't finish this afternoon in the refrigerator, and then tomorrow Sun Jikai is estimated to not be able to go to the store, and his father is here. ”

"Uncle Sun is here?" If it weren't for Wu Minqi mentioning it, Jiang Feng would have almost forgotten that there was still Sun Changping.

In the evening, Sun Jikai rented the one-bedroom house on the first floor, and there was a small yard on the first floor. Wu Minqi said.

Jiang Feng recalled the small courtyard on the first floor, which was only a few square meters, and felt that if Sun Changping really wanted to grow vegetables at home, it was estimated that he could only grow two cabbages.

"Does Uncle Sun have any plans?" Jiang Feng asked.

"I don't know, I didn't ask. Wu Minqi yawned again, squinted her eyes, obviously really sleepy, "No, I'm really a little unbearable, I'll go to sleep first, Feng Feng, remember to cook noodles later." ”

After speaking, he rubbed his eyes and walked back to the room with extremely sleepy and even a little trance-like steps.

Jiang Feng, who lost the opportunity to chat with his girlfriend, slumped on the sofa, looked at the TV and felt bored, an agent food show with a Michelin-starred restaurant chef participating in the competition, the contestants in it actually didn't say shit, what else is the meaning of this show?

It's no wonder that American audiences have a flood of bad comments about the American version, how can audiences who are accustomed to seeing Chef Arnold put up with this group of chefs whose cooking skills are not at home and whose scolding skills are also at home?

Jiang Feng slumped on the sofa and played with his mobile phone for a long time, feeling that the mobile phone was boring. Wang Hao hasn't posted a circle of friends for three days, obviously life has smoothed the edges and corners of his sand sculptures, and occasionally the moments of friends are soulless moments that some companies require to be forwarded. Now that his career is going well, he doesn't need to come to Taifeng Building on weekends to work as a waiter to find inspiration, not only has he paid off all his father's money, but his hair is getting thinner, his belly is getting bigger and bigger, and he looks more and more like a successful person.

Jiang Feng sent a message to Wang Hao, and Wang Hao didn't reply in seconds, which made Jiang Feng can't help but sigh, it seems that he really lost this rebel.

Jiang Feng lay on the sofa.

Jiang Feng rolled over.

Jiang Feng turned over again.

So boring.

The TV is not good, the mobile phone is not fun, no one can chat, the kitchen ingredients are not enough and you can't cook, the teaching videos of the recipes are turned over and over I don't know how many times, and the CD cooldown period of the backtracking function has not arrived.

So boring!

Finally, Jiang Feng clicked on the attribute panel and flipped to the inventory column, and began to study the only two memories in the inventory that he hadn't seen yet.

[A memory of Ouyang Yang]

[A memory of Han Guishan]

For these two memories, Jiang Feng's heart had already made a decision, he reached out and clicked [A Memory of Han Guishan], and clicked Yes.

A fog.

Han Guishan's memory, I don't know why, is always filled with a strong sense of age. The last time Jiang Feng entered Han Guishan's memory, he saw the railway station in Shudi Provincial City in 1987, Jiang Weiming in 1987 and Wang Jing in 1987.

This time, he met Han Guishan in 1990 and Wang Jing in 1990.

As soon as the fog cleared, Jiang Feng saw Han Guishan, who was dragging a huge snakeskin bag and holding a newspaper that had been turned over long ago, Han Guishan was also dragging a small snakeskin bag and carrying a huge backpack, which was tanned for some reason, and his skin was a lot rougher, and he was completely without the white and beautiful former state-run hotel waiter Wang Jing.

"Old Han, aren't we going to your house? It was summer, the scorching sun was in the sky, and Wang Jing had already sweated like rain with so many things, and even the white shirt that looked quite new cotton had been soaked with sweat.

"I have to take another half day to go to my house, and I have to transfer to the shuttle bus after getting off the train, so you can also take the shuttle bus here for a longer time. Let's have a meal here and find a hotel to rest for a day, we have been on the train for two days, and if we do this, we will have to fall apart. Han Guishan said, holding the newspaper and looking left and right, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

Wang Jing wiped the sweat from her head, and was a little speechless for a while, not knowing whether to laugh or be angry: "What's wrong with taking the train for two days? In the past two years, we have been running goods for two days and riding in a donkey cart, and you are not too tired to be so tired and panic if you have to toss so many things." ”

"What are you looking at? I'm not hungry now, the steamed buns I nibbled on this morning are too hard and I don't feel digested, it's too hot, let's find a place to rest and drink saliva first." Wang Jing couldn't help fanning the wind with his hand, but unfortunately this faint wind didn't have any effect, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept wading over his cheeks like water.

"It's too hot, it's really too hot, I thought it was hot enough over there, but I didn't expect you guys to be even hotter. ”

Han Guishan is actually not much better, his clothes have long been soaked with sweat, but the sweat on his face is not as serious as Wang Jing's, so it doesn't look so exaggerated.

Realizing that their top priority now was to find a place to drink a bowl of tea and rest, Han Guishan finally gave up studying the unknown newspaper produced on May 29, 1990, and led Wang Jing to find a small teahouse to drink a cup of herbal tea to calm down.

After two cups of herbal tea, Wang Jing eased up a little.

The facilities of the small teahouse are very simple, there is no air conditioning, and there is not even an electric fan, but the boss saw Wang Jing and Han Guishan have a big bag, and they are so hot that they gave each of them a big fan and shook the fan by themselves.

Wang Jing sat on the chair and fanned him wildly, and Han Guishan fanned him on the side, this scene looked inexplicably sad and inexplicably inspirational.

"Where are we going now, can we find a hotel near here and stay first?" This is a familiar place for Han Guishan, Wang Jing has never been here and doesn't know about it, so he has to listen to Han Guishan for everything.

"Don't live here, let's go to the county seat tonight, there is no shuttle bus in the city to my house. Han Guishan said and began to study his newspaper again.

In this way, Jiang Feng couldn't help but have a deep interest in the newspaper in Han Guishan's hand, and he also came up to take a few looks.

The layout of the newspaper is very dense, piece by piece, and every day the report can only stand to the size of a tofu block. The small black lead characters are all crowded together, and the brains of people who look at them hurt, and even Jiang Feng has a little headache when he sees it, not to mention Han Guishan, who is not particularly literate at present, it is simply a kind of torture, even more torturous than the scorching sun in the sky.

Soon Jiang Feng found the report that Han Guishan had been studying repeatedly, a very small section, in the corner, saying that the tofu block had lifted it. The writing is not beautiful, it reads a bit like a running account written by a primary school student, and the things it talks about are very simple.

It is probably about a certain county town becoming prosperous and wealthy in the case of the spring breeze of reform, many foreign businessmen will pass by the county, and truck drivers will also choose to settle in the county, so the county has opened a lot of restaurants, among which a restaurant on a certain road is very prosperous, and there are often long queues.

On this point, dryly, the UC Shock Department is probably too lazy to choose a title for such a report, no wonder it can only have such a small page.

But it was such a small section, Han Guishan stared at it and studied it for more than ten minutes, and he would continue to study it for another ten minutes to see his posture.

What's so good about this, I can copy this report in ten minutes.

"What are you looking at? I've been reading this newspaper for two days since you were on the train, and you haven't finished reading it, what's there to see?" Wang Jing was also puzzled.

Han Guishan handed the newspaper out and pointed to a word in the penultimate line of the plate: "Jing, what does this word read?"

Wang Jing looked at it for a while and thought for a while: "Qiu (qiu two sounds)." ”

Wang Jing glanced at the cursory report, revealing the same confused expression as Jiang Feng: "What are you looking at here, what's so good about this." I thought you were looking at some kind of shop advertisement after two days of research, didn't you say that we should buy a shop and settle down to do business? I feel that now I can't make any money by running around, and people in the villages who are building roads can go out, and it is not rare for us to bring in the goods. ”

"I don't plan to buy it here in Shencheng, it's too expensive, if we buy it here, we will have all the savings in the past few years, and if we lose it, we will lose everything." Han Guishan put away the newspaper.

Wang Jing raised her hand and motioned to the boss to come for another night of herbal tea: "Don't you buy it here? But isn't the business here easy to do? Everyone is doing business here now, where can we buy it if we don't buy it here? Do you want to go back to my house to buy it? In fact, business is not good in the provincial capital, do you remember the state-run hotel where I worked a few years ago?" Master Jiang retired and returned to the countryside, and now the business in the store is even more sluggish, when I went home for the Chinese New Year before, my mother was still talking to me, fortunately, I resigned and went out to run business with you, and the other two waiters in the store have not been paid for half a year. ”

Wang Jing asked too many questions at one time, and Han Guishan didn't know where to start, so he could only pick up the answers he remembered first: "I was going to discuss with you in two days, and I think it would be a good choice to go to City A or go directly to Beiping to buy a shop." Beiping is the capital, the opportunity is actually not less than Shencheng, City A has developed very well in the past two years, and I heard that there will be a number of very good shops for sale for a while. ”

"I think City A is pretty good. Wang Jing gave a thumbs up to City A, and drank all the tea that the boss had just brought to the table, just looking at his actions of drinking tea, it was quite a bit of a heroine's demeanor, "I feel much better now, is this far away from the county town you said? Why don't we go first, so as not to delay time." ”

"My bag is full of my mother's pickled bacon, and it will be broken when it comes to your house after a long delay. ”

Han Guishan got up to pay, and wanted to help Wang Jing get his snakeskin bag, but Wang Jing refused.

"What are you doing with so much bacon from afar?"

"Look at what you said, it seems that bacon is not valuable, a few years ago, bacon was still a rare thing, and it can only be eaten during the New Year, okay? You have been doing business in my family all these years, and you have mixed up with my relatives over there, I haven't seen your relatives here, I heard you say that your brother and your sister, I don't know what they like. Wang Jing stubbornly dragged the snakeskin bag outside and began to sweat wildly.

"Your home is in Shenzhen, you must have seen rare things, it's too rare for me to afford it, so I can only bring some souvenirs. After speaking, Wang Jing patted her backpack proudly, "Do you know what's in it? It's all kimchi! There is also one can made by Master Jiang, I asked for it from his apprentice!"

As soon as he heard that the kimchi was made by Jiang Weiming, Han Guishan's eyes lit up. Before he could speak, Wang Jing blocked his mouth with the next sentence: "Don't even think about it, this is for your brothers and sisters." ”

Han Guishan: ......

The bus station was a little far from the teahouse, and Han Guishan called three human-powered tricycles, two for people and one for things, and pedaled for about 30 minutes before waiting for the bus station.

This bus station is no different from the bus station in Z City that Jiang Feng saw when he was a child, get on the bus to buy tickets, there is no fixed departure time, the bus will depart when it is full, and there are vendors in the bus station who sell corn and tea eggs with bags. Wang Jing didn't know if she was hungry or what, she bought two tea eggs, and after getting in the car, she had one Han Guishan and one Han Guishan, and the two happily peeled the tea eggs, which made the child in front of her look back and look at the tea eggs in her hand with a longing face.

Wang Jing very ruthlessly ate the tea eggs one bite at a time in front of the child.

"Mom, I want to eat balls too. The child whispered to his mother beside him, telling him what he was longing for.

"The car is already driving and I can't buy balls. The child's mother had a happy smile on her face.

The environment on the car is not too good, the old minibuses are basically like this, the outside looks tattered and the inside is actually tattered, and the people behind the bad road section are like sitting on a trampoline, and one will accidentally touch the head and touch the hand.

There were a few people in the car like Wang Jing and Han Guishan who brought a lot of things, all of them were quite dark, all of them were sunburned, and at a glance, they knew that they were old businessmen who had been trained for a long time. Among them, there was a black and fat aunt who was estimated to be in the restaurant business, Jiang Feng guessed that she should be selling lo-mei, carrying a sack of seasonings and various spices in bottles and cans, making a cart of spices smell that makes people want to eat tea eggs.

After getting out of the car, Han Guishan stopped the fat black aunt, took out the newspaper and pointed to the report above, and asked, "Sister, do you know what the newspaper is called on this restaurant on Hongqiu Road?"

The most pitiful part of this report is that it doesn't write the name of the restaurant at all.

Han Guishan's sister made the aunt's heart bloom, her eyebrows smiled, she squinted and read the newspaper for dozens of seconds before she realized that she didn't know how to read, and said loudly: "I don't know how to read and write, I can't understand what is written on it, Hongqiao Road is close to the highway and is full of restaurants, if you want to find a particularly delicious one, it should be the noodle restaurant next door that picked up the signboard, and their family seems to be moving away two days before the signboard was removed." ”

"Thank you, sister. ”

"You're welcome, if their house is closed, you can go to their noodle restaurant next door, it's cheap and delicious. This one is too expensive, and the people who go are all business owners, so it's not cost-effective. The aunt advised.

Wang Jing bought a corn by the way when Han Guishan was asking for directions, and was grabbing the cob and squeaking the corn, and handed him the corn when he saw Han Guishan coming back after asking for directions.

"It's not sweet, it doesn't taste good. This is Wang Jing's comment.

Han Guishan didn't dislike it, took the corn and continued to gnaw: "Well, it's not tasteful." ”

"Where are we going now?"

"I remember there are quite a few hotels around here, let's find a clean place to put things away first, then take a shower and change clothes, and rest for a while to have dinner. Han Guishan said.

Wang Jing heard the conversation between Han Guishan and her aunt just now, and she complained while following Han Guishan out to find a hotel: "Why do I think you have to come to this county seat to take a car just to go to that store to eat, is the food in that store so delicious? Is it delicious made by Master Jiang?"

"I don't know. Han Guishan shook his head, "It's true that the store is quite famous, in addition to the newspaper report, I have heard many people mention it." Do you remember the Boss Yang we met last time we bought goods, Boss Yang crossed this store with me. ”

"By the way, what would you like to eat for the night?"

Wang Jing thought for a while: "I don't know what the taste of your dishes is, I heard that it is quite light." If you have seafood, you can eat seafood, and it feels a pity not to eat seafood when you get to the beach. ”

"It's not actually near the sea, but it's close to the sea. ”

The two of them said a word, and found a small and dilapidated, but very clean hotel nearby, and opened two rooms, and the price was quite expensive, nearly twice as expensive as the hotel next door. Just when Han Guishan opened the house, Jiang Feng knew that Han Guishan had not married Wang Jing at this time. The conversation between the two of them along the way, Wang Jing was an old Han, Jiang Feng thought that the two of them had been married for several years, but he didn't expect that he was still married to the object.

The room is quite small, just a bed and no cabinet, but there is a toilet and a bathroom to shower. After Han Guishan put his things away, he went to the front desk to buy two pots of hot water, and sent the hot water to Wang Jing's room before returning to the room to simply wipe his body with hot water and change his clothes, which was very casual.

Han Guishan, who had changed his clothes and was also a lot more refreshed, began to tidy up his things after a brief rest, and opened the huge snakeskin bag he had been dragging.

Jiang Feng had actually always been very curious about what Han Guishan's large snakeskin bag contained, he thought at first that Han Guishan and Wang Jing were here to dump the goods, but after listening to their previous conversation, he realized that Han Guishan was back to visit his relatives.

Wang Jing's snakeskin bag was filled with souvenirs for Han Guishan's relatives, and Han Guishan's snakeskin bag was actually full of clothes.

There are all kinds of new clothes, and they are very rich in colors alone. There are more common, white, black, gray, and some rarer, purple, green, tops, pants, skirts, and even hats, belts. The only thing in common is that they are not very valuable, and you don't have to touch them to know that the fabric of these clothes is not good.

In addition to clothes, there are some cloth shoes, which look like they should be made by hand, and there are no leather shoes.

There is money hidden inside the cloth shoes.

There is money hidden in each cloth shoe, sewn with a needle, and if you don't buckle the insole, you will never think that there is a dozen money stuffed at the bottom.

A lot of money, a stack, Han Guishan only took out the money from a cloth shoe, Jiang Feng estimated that there were 1,000 in that stack, if the amount of money in each cloth shoe was the same, this snakeskin bag was less than one or two hundred thousand in cash. Even if the 10,000 yuan households in the 90s were not as rare as they were in the seventies and eighties, one or two hundred thousand cash was definitely a huge amount of money, and it was a shame that Han Guishan dared to put the money in a snakeskin bag, not afraid of being stolen and robbed.

Maybe this is Han Guishan's strategy, a snakeskin bag of worthless clothes and cloth shoes, heavy and difficult to hold, thieves are probably too lazy to steal.

Han Guishan counted a few pieces of money, about two or three hundred, stuffed the rest of the money back, and sewed it back with a needle and thread that I didn't know where to find it. The movements are skillful, and it is clear that there has been no shortage of work.

Large bills were stuffed into trouser pockets, pennies and cents of banknotes and coins were put into jacket pockets, and snakeskin bags were placed on the floor of the room.

After sorting out all this, Han Guishan went out and knocked on Wang Jing's door next door.

Wang Jing not only took a shower but also washed her hair, changed into a slightly bright clean clothes, and her hair was wet and draped over her shoulders.

"Let's go, let's eat. ”

"Wait, I'll wipe my hair again, or it'll be too wet to dry when I go out." Wang Jing wiped her hair with a dry towel for a while before going out, and before going out, she didn't forget to glance at Han Guishan's door to make sure the door was closed.

"Is it okay for us to go out like this? Now the thieves are so rampant that they dare to directly break the door and steal things, you forgot the last time I went to pick up the goods and stayed in the hotel, all the things were stolen, I wonder if the people inside did it." Wang Jing obviously knew what was in Han Guishan's snakeskin bag.

"Rest assured, the owner of this inn has a relationship, and the average little thief will not touch it. ”

At this time, the benefits of local familiarity are highlighted.

Han Guishan and Wang Jing walked downstairs side by side, Wang Jing talked about what she wanted to eat at night as she walked, it was nothing more than fish and shrimp or something, although she couldn't even say the specific species of fish.

Jiang Feng followed behind them, just in time to hear the whisper of the front desk sitting behind the counter muttering melon seeds.

"They also said that they were not husband and wife. ”

The small county town is very lively at night.

As Han Guishan said, because of its good geographical location, this county belongs to the traffic arteries, where there are a lot of outsiders and truck drivers, and it is very lively at night. Especially in the area of Hongqiu Road, there are all restaurants and hotels, and there are many vendors pushing small carts to sell cold dishes, braised vegetables and snacks, just like a night market.

Drivers usually sleep in the car to save money, and these hotels are for businessmen.

The hotel is a small hotel, the store is also a small restaurant, the family runs a restaurant, the proprietress enthusiastically stood at the door of the store to solicit customers, over and over again asked passers-by to eat if they were eating. The market is filled with the smell of food, and even if you don't plan to eat out, you can't help but walk into a nearby restaurant and order a side dish or two.

This long side street is so much of a dining atmosphere.

With so many stores, the store Han Guishan wanted to find was actually difficult to find.

There are too many shops without signboards.

It may be because of business or casualness, many stores have no signboards, only a small store, two tables inside and two tables outside, and the couple are busy, and sometimes they can find a few children doing their homework on the tables outside.

There is no signboard, next door to the noodle restaurant, this option is too broad, Han Guishan and Wang Jing walked all the way and saw several options that met the requirements, but none of them were like them.

The main thing is that the decoration is not like.

Seeing that he couldn't find the store Han Guishan was looking for after walking down the street, Wang Jing wanted to find a casual restaurant to eat.

She didn't eat lunch, she only ate half a corn and a tea egg along the way, and now she was really hungry. After smelling the aroma of the food all the way, she now just wants to find a small shop to sit down and eat casually, even if it is a bowl of somen noodles.

"Old Han, let's just eat a little bit, in fact, you don't need to eat fish and shrimp, even if you eat a bowl of noodles. Wang Jing pointed to the noodle restaurant in front of her, "Why don't we eat here." ”

Next door to the noodle shop is a restaurant with no signage, the shop is huge, bigger than 80% of the shops on this street, there are no tables outside the shop, and the door is ajar and unlit.

By this time, it was already dark, and the shop had no lights and no customers, so it didn't look like it was going to open at all.

"Jing, do you think this shop looks like it?" Han Guishan pointed to the nameless restaurant that was not lit.

Wang Jing studied the exterior decoration of this restaurant and some of the internal tables and chairs she could see, and nodded: "It looks quite similar, the decoration is quite exquisite, and the price should not be cheap, but this store doesn't seem to be open, and there is no one inside." ”

"There should be someone, the door is not closed. Han Guishan didn't give up, "You wait outside, I'll go in and have a look." ”

After speaking, Han Guishan walked into the store, Wang Jing was waiting for him outside, and Jiang Feng also walked in.

The lights are actually turned on in the store, and the lights are on in the kitchen, but the light in the innermost part of the kitchen is not leaking out.

It was true that there were no customers, the store was empty, and there were only four sets of tables and chairs in the huge store, and it was clear that some of the tables and chairs had been removed. The wall is very empty, without any decoration, from the color difference, Jiang Feng can see that the wall of this shop should have been hung with paintings before, and there should be potted plants on the windowsill before.

The store was supposed to be transferred, and the owner began to clear things.

"Is there anyone?" Han Guishan shouted loudly.

"Who?"

It was a female voice who replied, but it was a man who came out of the kitchen, or someone Jiang Feng knew.

Zhang Chu.

This is the shop where Cao Guixiang worked back then!

If Jiang Feng had heard the conversation between Han Guishan and Xu Cheng during the last test, he would have guessed that this memory of Han Guishan must be about Cao Guixiang. But he didn't hear it, yesterday when he saw Zhang Chu coming out of the kitchen, his heart was ecstatic, and he rushed into the kitchen through the wall without thinking.

Cao Guixiang cooks in the kitchen.

From the rich smell of broth in the kitchen, Jiang Feng could smell that Cao Guixiang was definitely making a good dish now.

In addition to Cao Guixiang in the kitchen, there are two children and a chubby middle-aged man, if nothing else, these two children are Zhang Chiyuan and Zhang Siyu. At this time, Zhang Chiyuan was already a half-grown teenager, and he should be in junior high school when he was about the same age, while Zhang Siyu was still a little radish head, and his face was obviously very good.

Junior high school is a critical period for children to receive education, and it is no wonder that Cao Guixiang is in a hurry to move to the city to change schools for Zhang Chiyuan.

Another chubby middle-aged man is obviously Cao Guixiang's boss.

"Guixiang, do you really not consider continuing to do this business after you go to the city with such good skills? If you don't want to work for others, you can open your own shop, I don't have enough money to borrow from you, isn't it very popular to buy shares now? I just want to be a shareholder, and I will pay for my meals." The boss persuaded bitterly.

Jiang Feng: ???

There is also this kind of operation.

"Boss Shi, I'm really not going to do it anymore. You see that my two children are so old, Siyu is about to go to elementary school, and I want to spend more time with my children. ”

"You think about it again. "Boss Shi is obviously not the first time to persuade him, nor is it the first time he has heard this answer.

Cao Guixiang smiled and didn't speak, walked to the next pot and lifted the lid to look, the pot was a yellow braised shark fin that was simmering over low heat, it seemed that the collagen in the shark fin had been completely stewed into the soup, the shark fin was distinct, full and golden, obviously shark fin of excellent quality.

Cao Guixiang only glanced at the lid of the pot again, walked to the board and began to process the duck, and asked while processing: "Boss Shi, what dish do you want to eat this duck?"

"You can just look at it, do what you want. Boss Shi replied very skillfully.

"Xiaoyuan, what do you want to eat?" Cao Guixiang asked his son instead.

"Beer duck!" Zhang Chiyuan said loudly.

"Mom, I want to eat roast duck!" Zhang Siyu said in a louder voice.

"Roast duck is good, roast duck is good. Boss Shi couldn't help but nod.

"This duck is not fat enough to make roast duck, let me think about it......" Just when Cao Guixiang was pondering what dishes to cook with this duck, Zhang Chu came in from outside.

"Boss Shi, there is a guest outside who wants to eat, and people from other places have come to read the newspaper. ”

"Didn't you tell him that our store was going to close and it was closed now?" Boss Shi was puzzled.

Zhang Chu reluctantly raised the blue hundred-yuan bill in his hand, which was not new, but it was shining in the light, and there were three of them, which were particularly dazzling.

I said it, but the guest outside the door said that he didn't pick the dishes, he could do whatever he wanted, and he just gave the money. ”

Boss Shi is also stupid, he has not been open for a long time, and he has seen a lot of rich guests, this is the first time I have seen this kind of operation.

"Why?" Boss Shi felt that he couldn't do this with a lot of money, 300 yuan was enough to order all the dishes on their menu.

You know, the menu in their store includes shark fin, bird's nest, sea cucumber, and abalone.

"The guest just made a request, he seems to be proposing today, and wants Guixiang to make the ring into the dish so that his fiancée can eat it when she eats. ”

Boss Shi was shocked again, he didn't expect this kind of play, so he could only cast his eyes for help to Cao Guixiang, as if Cao Guixiang was the real boss of this restaurant.

Cao Guixiang said helplessly: "Zhang Chu, let that guest come in first, I'll talk to him, there are actually no other ingredients in the store today, just these few dishes." Why don't we ...... shark fins?"

"No!" everyone present said in unison.

Cao Guixiang: ......

Zhang Chu first called Han Guishan in from outside, Han Guishan has been in business for a few years, and he has a lot of neat mouth, and as soon as he came in, he told all his thoughts and requirements, and Boss Shi was stupid, and began to reflect on why he was so unsuccessful in business.

Look at other people's businessmen, they will talk a lot.

He will only eat.

In the end, Cao Guixiang agreed to Han Guishan's request, promising that he would make the ring into the dish, but not in it, but on the surface, if it was wrapped in the dish, Cao Guixiang was afraid that Wang Jing would swallow the ring directly into his stomach when he ate the dish.

But there are only two dishes, one is the duck dish that has not yet been cooked, and the other is the yellow stewed shark fin that is still in the pot, Cao Guixiang can evenly give two bowls to Han Guishan.

Boss Shi also wanted to find money for Han Guishan, but Han Guishan refused, Han Guishan left the ring and went out to call Wang Jinglai, Zhang Chu also went out to help them pour water and put tableware, and by the way, turned on the light and closed the door tightly - the yellow braised shark fin is a pot, and no one can let others in.

"Mom, you didn't cook for the guests who came yesterday, why did you agree to this today?" Zhang Chiyuan was puzzled.

Cao Guixiang is looking at the diamond ring left by Han Guishan, it is not big, but it is very rare, at this time, few people will use the diamond ring to propose, to be precise, few people will propose.

The trick of proposing with a ring is estimated to have been learned by Han Guishan when he was running business with other businessmen who have gone abroad.

"Because love is priceless. Cao Guixiang said with a smile.

Zhang Chiyuan: ?

Zhang Siyu: ?

Boss Shi: My shark fin QAQ

Cao Guixiang put the ring in a clean place, stared at the cleaned duck and thought for a few minutes, decisively put the whole duck into the pot and steamed, and after steaming, the bones were removed and cut into three pieces.

Seeing this step, Jiang Feng already understood that what Cao Guixiang wanted to do was to make a duck.

It's no wonder that this memory was found when Han Guishan was eating firewood and taking the duck.

Obviously, Cao Guixiang doesn't often make chai ducks, and her techniques are a little rusty, far less skilled than when Jiang Feng watched Master Xu make chai ducks before. But proficiency is skillful, and good technology is good technology, as long as the technology is good enough, even if you are not skilled enough, you can make excellent dishes.

At this time, Cao Guixiang's cooking skills should be at their peak, middle-aged, energy, concentration, strength and wrist flexibility are in excellent condition, and after several years of professional chef life, technical and all aspects have also reached a peak. Although he works in a restaurant in a small county town, the boss is hearty and generous, rich in ingredients, and can even be called high-end.

At this time, Cao Guixiang can definitely be said to be standing at the top of the Chinese food pyramid, even Peng Changping on the other side of the ocean may not be stronger than her.

Although he felt a little sorry for Master Xu when he said this, Jiang Feng still wanted to say that the firewood duck made by Cao Guixiang and the firewood duck made by Master Xu were really two kinds of firewood ducks.

Chef Xu's chai duck will draw attention to the shape, and the shape of this dish is so peculiar that anyone who sees it for the first time will be surprised. But Cao Guixiang's chai duck will definitely make people focus on wanting to eat it, and may even ignore the shape.

It doesn't matter if you make a shape or not, the main thing is to taste it.

After the duck was ready, Cao Guixiang spread a layer of bean sprouts on the tip of the uneven firewood handle, and placed a clean ring on it. In this way, the ring becomes the center of the dish, as soon as the dish is served, the first thing the people at the table see is definitely the ring on the dish.

The duck is ready, and the yellow braised shark fin in the pot on the other side is almost the same. The braised shark fin in Tan family cuisine does not need to be thickened, and the mellow soup completely depends on the shark fin's own collagen, and all that is needed is time, patience and precise control of the heat. It takes about 6~8 hours to make a pot of braised shark fin, and the long time and time to bring the mellow and thick soup of braised shark fin is its essence.

The pot of braised shark fin that Cao Guixiang is making now is very quintessential.

Jiang Feng had eaten what Peng Changping had made, and when he looked at it, he couldn't distinguish between the superior and the inferior for a while—they didn't look like normal dishes, but more like dishes that would glow golden as soon as the lid was lifted in Xiaodang's house.

The yellow braised shark fin is already golden, and it has the feeling of being a little master.

The dishes are all ready, Cao Guixiang is not in a hurry to serve the dishes, judging by her appearance, there should still be dishes that have not been completed.

Sure enough, after a simple brushing of the pot, Cao Guixiang began to make lean pork soup with the only small half bowl of lean meat left on the kitchen table.

To make soup, you need to thicken it.

Jiang Feng remembered that Peng Changping had told him that Cao Guixiang was very good at thickening, and kept staring at the movements of Cao Guixiang's hands, and the more he went to the back, the more he didn't dare to blink.

Soon it was time to thicken up.

It is very simple to thicken, not to thicken the pigeon soup cooked with a pigeon rack like the eight treasure chestnut pigeons, and there is no original soup for the lean pork soup, or it is simply thickened with starch water.

Thin layer.

Very simple, very harmonious, very fast and very hassle-free.

When the thickening water is slowly poured into the pot along the edge of the pot in a clockwise direction, it seems to be hugging, intimacy, stirring, and blending.

Harmonious.

Nature.

It was obviously a very simple step, but Jiang Feng was stunned.

He seems to ...... A little bit understood.

There was something called inspiration that got into his mind the moment he poured the water into the pot.

"Siyu, you take this dish out to the guests outside, the shiny side should face that sister, be careful not to let the ring on it slip off when serving. Cao Guixiang brought the firewood to Zhang Siyu, Zhang Siyu took the firewood and the duck, the fat arm was very strong, and he walked towards the door step by step cautiously.

Zhang Chiyuan walked to the door one step ahead of her and opened the door for her.

Jiang Feng also walked out through the wall.

Praise me (*/ω\*)
