Chapter 436: Feasting
Lu Yiyun wore a coat and a mask, carrying a digital drawing tablet on his back, came out of his rented community, creaked and trampled on the snow, bowed his head and passed by the early morning office workers and student parties, and went straight to the Qiyuan pet store. The increasingly regular schedule gave her a little confidence that she was no longer a waste person who snuggled up in the house all day.
When she came to the door of the store, as soon as she pushed the door open, she smelled a fragrant smell in the store.
"Wow, it's so fragrant, what is the store manager doing?" she swallowed and couldn't help but ask. In the morning, everyone generally eats relatively lightly, and it is rare to smell such an attractive aroma.
"Do you want to eat the beef stew with potatoes just out of the pot?" asked Zhang Zi'an, wearing an old apron and holding the beef with chopsticks in the double lunch box.
After coming back last night, he went to the supermarket again, bought a few bags of beef brisket and potatoes, and went to Uncle Li's store to ask for cooking methods for potato beef stew. After getting up this morning, he simmered slowly over low heat according to the method taught by Uncle Li, because it was easier to master the heat, for him as a rookie in cooking. Before Lu Yiyun came in, he had just turned off the heat and put the pot down.
"Beef stew, aren't you going to make a movie, Mr. Manager, don't you have any food on the set?" Lu Yiyun put down the digital drawing tablet and tried to divert his attention, after all, it was a bit of a ...... to come in the morning to eat and drink
She rarely eats beef stew because it is time-consuming, and she is the kind of person who gets lost to herself when she paints, which is not suitable for this kind of diet that requires long cooking hours, but that doesn't mean she doesn't like it.
"It's in charge of food, but the food is very poor, the key is that there is no meat, and eating is almost the same as not eating. Zhang Zi'an neatly arranged the beef and potato pieces in the larger layer of the double-layer lunch box, and then picked up a few small bags and stuffed them into the smaller layer.
"What's that???," she asked curiously.
"It's not a sauce, you can't eat it. Zhang Zi'an threw a bag at her.
She took it in a hurry, and when she looked at it, the words "special heating bag for food, please do not eat" were written on the bag.
"I bought it from a nearby outdoor store, and I bought a big bag at once, enough for several days. The lunch time on the set is uncertain, and what time to eat depends entirely on the director's mood. The lunch box at noon yesterday was cold, and it was very uncomfortable to eat. Zhang Zi'an explained.
In winter, it is cold, the food cools too quickly, and the beef is hot when it comes out of the pot, and it is already warm when you put it into the lunch box with chopsticks. Zhang Zi'an thought about it for a while, even if he uses a heavy insulated lunch box to hold beef, he is afraid that it will be cold when he eats at one or two o'clock in the afternoon, so he simply uses a light ordinary lunch box, and the temperature problem is solved with a food heating bag. When the time comes, just pour some water into the lower layer of the lunch box, and you can eat a hot potato beef stew in a few minutes.
"Mr. Store Manager is so powerful, he can actually think of this!" Lu Yiyun said with admiration.
"I can think of this because I used to buy self-heating bento boxes, and I don't have to talk about whether it tastes good or not, at least I can really eat hot rice. ”
Zhang Zi'an stewed a large pot of potato and beef stew, filled four lunch boxes and left a lot.
From the moment the smell of beef stew wafted out of the pot, Pegasus and the two police dogs were attracted by the aroma and became restless. Pemmas can still be reserved, and the two well-trained police dogs are not salivating, but the frequent glances in the kitchen upstairs speak for themselves.
However, when Zhang Zi'an walked downstairs with the pot, it was the snow lion who jumped over first.
"Meow meow meow, old lady wants to eat beef!" it said unceremoniously, "do you know how hard it is for old lady to endure the thought of beef every day?"
As he spoke, it jumped upward, looking at the posture as if it was eager to eat enough in a pot. It's a pity that it is a small short leg, and the motor nerves are poor, and it didn't jump over Zhang Zi'an's knee after jumping for a long time......
"Meow meow, what are you doing with that high pot? Believe it or not, the old lady punches your knees?" the snow lion threatened angrily, but its appearance was too sweet to give it a charm to anger, and it was not at all intimidating.
"There's salt in this pot of beef, you cats can't eat it. If you want to eat it, there are still some raw beef brisket left that have not been stewed, do you want to eat it?" Zhang Zi'an easily bypassed it, completely ignoring its threat.
"Raw...... Raw brisket?" the snow lion's saliva was already overflowing. In the description of "Golden Vase Plum", the snow lion likes to eat beef the most, and it is raw beef, but after he came to the pet store, he has been eating roast chicken breast and fish with Fina, and when he heard raw beef, he was almost hungry.
"Where, where's the raw brisket?" it asked, drooling, not caring about its own image.
"It's upstairs, if you wait obediently, I'll give it to you in a while, otherwise ......" Zhang Zi'an's threat was more effective, although the snow lion was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, but he didn't dare to act rashly.
He bought a lot of raw beef brisket this time, not only to stew it for Pegasus and two police dogs, but also to give it to the cats in the store. For cats, it is better to eat some raw beef on a regular basis, which can supplement amino acids, strengthen physique and muscles, and make the fur more oily and smooth.
However, not all cats can eat raw beef, kittens under three months old have imperfect gastrointestinal function, it is best not to eat, or high-quality finished cat food or cooked chicken breast is more suitable.
There are also some cats who are naturally sensitive and don't like to eat raw meat - it is estimated that Fina is like this, she does not care about raw meat at all, and does not eat it when it is put to her mouth.
As for the reason why Lao Cha does not eat raw meat, it thinks that Ru Mao's blood drinking is the behavior of rude barbarians, and the Chinese people with ceremonial crowns should avoid it.
The biggest trouble with eating raw beef is to consider the problem of parasites, so Zhang Zi'an bought not fresh beef brisket this time, but imported frozen beef brisket just taken out of the supermarket cold storage, frozen at minus 20 degrees Celsius for more than 72 hours, which can basically minimize the threat of parasites - although it also needs to be dewormed regularly.
Zhang Zi'an only plans to feed the raw beef to the snow lion and seven Abyssinian cats, and the kittens sold in the store are not fed, first, because the kittens are about three months old, which is not suitable for feeding raw meat; second, the probability of frozen raw meat carrying parasites is very low, but after all, it cannot be completely ruled out, in case the kittens eat raw meat and are infected with parasites and then bought by customers, it is inevitable that there is a suspicion of defrauding customers, and it is better not to make trouble for yourself.
When Zhang Zi'an was putting beef in the lunch box, the snow lion kept circling around him, but he didn't dare to make noise.
He checked it, then buckled the lid of the lunch box, turned it over again to see if it would leak, and after confirming that there was no problem, he put the four lunch boxes into his backpack, and he was going to carry the bag to the crew today.
"Go get your chopsticks. He saw that Lu Yiyun was still stunned, and urged.
She was stunned, understood what he meant, and quickly shook her head and refused: "No, no...... How embarrassing is this......"
"If you rub it any longer, the beef will be cold, and if it is cold, it will not taste good. Zhang Zi'an knew that she was very shy and couldn't wipe off her face, so she couldn't help but say, and filled a bowl for her and herself, "I'll put this pot here, don't clean it up for the time being, and let them eat the rest of the beef when Wang Qian and Li Kun come." If you don't eat it, all the meat will be cheaper for them. ”
Lu Yiyun remembered the way Wang Qian and Li Kun gobbled up food, swallowed saliva again, and said embarrassedly: "That...... Then I'll eat some......"
At this time, the beef is neither cold nor hot, the temperature is just right, and it is stewed in a pressure cooker until it is soft and glutinous, almost melting in the mouth. Coupled with the combination of seasonings that Uncle Li prepared for him, Zhang Zi'an, a rookie in cooking, can also make a master-level taste. After the potatoes are stewed into small pieces, they fully absorb the essence of the beef broth, and when you bite into it, it is hot and slightly hot, and you can exhale a pleasant breath of white air after eating each piece.
Lu Yiyun had actually eaten breakfast, eating light cereal porridge, she had a small appetite, she actually snorted and ate the whole bowl of potato and beef stew in one go, and also had a small burp, and fine beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose......
"It's delicious!, Mr. Manager's craftsmanship is awesome!" she said with a sincere compliment, putting down her chopsticks and wiping her mouth with a tissue. The only regret is that although it doesn't taste salty, it would be nice to have a bowl of white rice with it......
"Do you still eat it? There's still it in the pot, it's enough. Zhang Zi'an asked.
"No, no, no, I'm so full, I don't feel like I need to eat at noon......," she waved her hand in a panic, her face flushed. She took Jasmine out of her bag and shyly covered her face with it.
"Okay, if you want to eat, you're welcome. Zhang Zi'an glanced at Jasmine and added, "Let your cat eat some raw beef today, it's good for your body." ”
"Huh, raw beef?" Lu Yiyun was stunned again, she had never thought of eating raw meat for cats.
Zhang Zi'an didn't explain for the time being, and he didn't eat his share immediately, but first filled three bowls for Pegasus and two police dogs, and put them on the ground.
I read the script, and today's filming is very heavy, and I can't hold on without a full stomach. He beckoned to the three Tokumu.
Pemmas was the first to come, having previously preferred medium-rare steak, but had only eaten tomato goulash, but never seemed to have tasted oriental-style goulash with potatoes. It looked down and sniffed, and when it tried to taste it, the soft and waxy muscle fibers and vegetable starch immediately conquered its tongue.
The red dragon and the prince hesitantly followed it, and the flying horses took a few bites and whispered to them, and they immediately came over and grunted and feasted.
It was only at this time that Zhang Zi'an picked up his bowl and savored the fruits of his labor.
"Damn, it's delicious, should I change my career to become a chef?"
