406. Treasure Boy
Lower Manhattan, New York, Chinatown.
Mr. Wu Chinese Restaurant.
When Guo Yongkun and his entourage arrived here, the sky had already darkened, and the street lights on the street were also on.
In order to clean up the wind and dust for them, Uncle Wu and his wife hung an English sign saying "TemporarilyClosed" outside the door.
"Uncle Wu, you're too polite. ”
Guo Yongkun and the two of them came to hug.
"It's nothing, there aren't many people at night anyway. Uncle Wu smiled and waved his hand.
He didn't talk about the point, the main thing is that the money is not bad now. And the reason for all this is because the big boss in front of him gave his daughter a decent and privileged job.
Now that he has come to New York after more than a year, he naturally wants to be well treated, and the suspension of business is also to provide better service, and he will do his best to make this table a good meal.
After motioning for them to sit down for a while, and letting his wife Ellie serve tea, Uncle Wu put on his apron and went into the kitchen to get busy.
The dishes are actually ready, and it will not take too long to stir-fry them.
"Brother Guo......" Leah seems to have found a way to deal with Guo Yongkun, that is, wear professional clothes, I am your employee, otherwise, if you are in casual clothes, you are my best friend's younger brother, then it is also my younger brother.
"How long will you stay in the U.S. this time?"
Guo Yongkun was also helpless, not to mention that people came to pick up the airport with kindness, and specially prepared dinner to entertain, after all, this is not in the company, but also after work. Isn't it possible to say with a straight face, "You can't call me brother, you have to call me boss"?
"It's not easy to say specifically, there are some important things that need to be dealt with on Jianlibao's side, and I also have to go to California. You probably know about Zero over there. ”
Leah blinked her eyes, indicating that she knew, but she didn't care too much, and said with a smile: "No matter how long you stay, you have to say okay, when I go back to China with you, I want to die Huihui." Of course, I can also go to China. ”
“......”
Guo Yongkun wanted to find an excuse to run away, which was the last thing he wanted to talk to Leah.
Because if she goes back to China with her during the New Year, and her sister is also at home at that time, she has to invite someone to her home for the New Year, right?
It's nothing else.,The key is that this girl's personality is too open.,She can run around the house in her panties, do you believe it?
Or...... Direct vacuum.
Don't say that you can't hold it at that time, the old mother is estimated to be scared of a heart attack.
"It's not just me, it's Anna, you've seen it. Let's all tell Huihui, you are not allowed to cheat!"
You told my sister okay, don't you play tricks with me, you have a fart relationship?
One Leah can't handle it, and there's another Anna......
This girl Guo Yongkun has also seen it, and she is also one of his sister's best friends, but because she has already participated in work, she has rarely gotten together and only had a two-sided relationship.
It's a white girl.
Although it doesn't look as unrestrained as Leah on the surface, this is the master who dares to dance a striptease after drinking.
Big head!
"Well, I'll go and see what my uncle is stir-frying. ”
After leaving the next sentence, without waiting for Leah to reach out and grab it, Guo Yongkun got up and ran.
Leah was so angry that her teeth were itching, but it was useless to run, she had already made up her mind, if Brother Guo didn't take her with her, she and Anna would go by themselves!
When you get to your house, can you still drive me out?
When I came to the kitchen, there was a hot scene, as usual, two stoves were fired at the same time. Although Uncle Wu and his family are busy, they always have a smile on their faces.
This state was, in the witty words of later generations, "tired and happy."
Two people who are used to this kind of life and enjoy it, let them really not be idle.
Guo Yongkun took a look: braised pork ribs, pan-fried hairtail, grilled oysters with garlic, abalone sauce and phoenix feet......
Although it's not a big dish, it's his favorite.
After eating here so many times, Uncle Wu has obviously remembered his taste.
I can see Guo Yongkun Lahazi DC.
"Huh, how do you steam so much rice?"
There is a stainless steel bucket in the corner of the stove, and the gap in the lid is still steaming out, Guo Yongkun thought it was something, but when he opened the lid and looked at it, he found that it was half a bucket of white rice.
Looks a little confused.
Obviously freshly steamed rice. But aren't they all closed at night, there are only a few of them, even Li Youyou can't eat one-tenth of the food here.
"Oh, that's what you say. ”
Uncle Wu turned his head with a pot and spoon in his hand, and explained with a smile, "This is for the filming crew, Leah should have told you, she has always been unable to hide words from her mouth." There was a Chinese crew who rented our shop for filming at night recently, so they asked me to help make dinner, but there was no requirement, just let me steam more rice, dishes...... Well, in the bucket under the table next to it.
"I thought about it as fellow countrymen, and it was not easy for them, so I agreed to it. In fact, you can't make any money. ”
Guo Yongkun's gaze naturally fell on the vegetable bucket that Uncle Wu said, which was much smaller than the bucket containing rice, and it was placed under the table, so I didn't see it just now.
He lifted the lid and saw that it was a dish of stir-fried Chinese cabbage.
"Just one dish?"
"That's right. Uncle Wu focused on the pot in his hand and said without looking back, "They seem to be very tight, and they said that according to the cheapest, what is the cheapest besides cabbage? I also specially added some oil residue to it, and adjusted the taste, which is also a bit of meat oil." ”
Guo Yongkun felt very bad for a while, especially after seeing the stark contrast between his dishes at night and the crew.
This is simply the contrast between a transvising American capitalist and a Chinese gold digger.
He thought that the crew was short of funds, but he didn't expect the tension to be like this, and the food was a big cabbage with white rice.
"Uncle Wu, are there any extra dishes in the refrigerator?" he asked suddenly.
Uncle Wu paused for a moment before replying, "Oh, yes, you can take a look." ”
He obviously didn't understand what Guo Yongkun meant for a while, and thought that he didn't like the dishes he prepared.
Fortunately, Guo Yongkun explained in a timely manner, "I won't tell you Uncle Wu, although I don't know these filming people, I have heard of them, and it is really not easy, since I have met them, let's add a dish to them." ”
There is also a stove in the kitchen, which does not burn gas, but burns glycerin, which is estimated to be used for emergency backup because of the fear that the gas will run out suddenly.
He has noticed.
Uncle Wu turned his head and looked at him deeply, and said with a smile: "Yes, I'll invite you this time." ”
Guo Yongkun nodded, but he didn't fight anything.
If it's just a meal, the Wu family is not short of money now.
And if he insists on paying, he will seem a little unfamiliar and unsympathetic. Obviously, his actions triggered a certain emotion in Uncle Wu.
But then again, he's done a good job.
If he added more oil and water to the cabbage, added oil residue or something, he definitely didn't charge more.
Guo Yongkun opened the stainless steel vertical freezer on the side of the kitchen and looked at it, the ingredients in it were mainly frozen food, such as frozen chicken feet, frozen chicken wings, frozen ribs and the like.
"Why don't you fry some beef, there are still a few catties of frozen beef here, put some green peppers, onions and other ingredients, and it should be enough to stir-fry." ”
Leah's mother, Ellie, came over to help, and she clearly knew all about the contents of the refrigerator.
"Okay, it's convenient for beef. Guo Yongkun smiled and bowed his head.
As she spoke, Elle had already taken out a large piece of the cow's head that had been frozen into bricks.
After the glycerin stove was lit, Elle took a large cauldron, boiled a pot of hot water, and began to thaw the cow's head.
At this time, Guo Yongkun had already taken a gray cloth apron from the hook on the wall, put it on his body, rolled up his sleeves, and picked up a large kitchen knife.
Ellie turned her head to look, startled.
"What are you doing?"
"I'll cook this dish. ”
"You, can you cook?" said Ellie, surprised.
It's really never expected, just think about the identity of the other party, you know, dignified billionaire, where to go, isn't it to stretch out his hand to open his mouth?
Hands-on cooking...... Just kidding, right?
"Dear Ellie, you may not know it, but I used to work in restaurants. Guo Yongkun laughed.
"Really?"
Elle suddenly had some anticipation and some excitement.
It turns out that the billionaire used to be his own colleague.
How did he get from opening a restaurant to the level he is now? Why did he and his husband work for decades, and they looked like they couldn't survive starvation?
As the so-called connoisseur makes a move, he knows if there is one.
After the beef was thawed, Guo Yongkun pulled a few knives and began to "divide the body" of it.
"Old Wu, look!" Elle's expression looked excited.
"Xiao Kun, amazing, I didn't even know you still had this hand, this knife work is better than mine. Uncle Wu glanced at it a few times and was full of praise.
Don't look at cutting beef, this is a technical job, if the knife is not good, even if the same piece of beef, let the same chef to cook, it will come out with two tastes.
Many people's roasted beef at home has been long enough, but it still doesn't taste good and can't be chewed, that's the reason.
The fibers of beef are very thick, and they must be cut in reverse direction, and the most standard position is that the direction of the knife is perpendicular to the direction of the texture, or at an angle of 45 degrees. Not only is it more efficient, but the cut beef fibers are broken, making it easier to absorb the flavor and more tender when cooked.
"Uncle Wu said with a smile, I haven't used a knife for some years, and I definitely can't compare to an expert like you. ”
Guo Yongkun shook his head with a smile, he knew very well how many catties and taels he had.
Any skill needs to be trained frequently, otherwise it will not advance or retreat.
His knife skills had deteriorated to the point where he was better than the average housewife.
Ai Li was not idle, helped cut the side dishes, and cut the vegetables into cubes according to Guo Yongkun's instructions.
Then Guo Yongkun asked Uncle Wu for a bottle of treasure - chopped pepper.
He was going to make a small stir-fried yellow beef.
Of course, this beef should not be yellow beef.
With Chinese cabbage with oil residue, one meat and one vegetable, one light and one spicy, just right.
Heat the oil, put the dishes into the pot, and put a few catties of vegetables in an iron pot larger than a basin, Guo Yongkun used the iron frame on the edge of the stove mouth to turn it upside down.
Elle was full of praise on the side, saying that she wanted to eat this dish.
"Why are you so busy inside?"
At this time, the three of Leah saw Guo Yongkun enter the kitchen for a long time and didn't come out, and there was a startled sound coming from inside, and they all came in.
When I saw the scene in front of me, three people with six eyes were all round.
"Brother Guo, will you still do this?"
"Mr. Guo, I used to rush to cook, and it was all an axe!"
"I didn't think ......"
At this moment, Guo Yongkun has become a treasure boy in the eyes of everyone.
They watched it with relish, and the trick of a billionaire in an apron may be once in a lifetime.
