Chapter 5: Kung Pao Chicken

So Lin Huimin's store business was just right, and Ding Tianyuan felt that the time had come.

As soon as Lin Huimin opened the shop one day, she heard Ding Tianyuan cross Erlang's feet and say to her that the rent of the shop had doubled!.

Lin Huimin slapped the back of the knife on the chicken thigh, and Ding Tianyuan shook unexpectedly.

He is actually one year younger than Lin Huimin, but he feels that in front of women, talking about age will make women easy to have a sense of dependence, which is the experience he gained from having countless "confidantes" with countless hands and feet.

Women, don't you want to find a solid backer, so that you can live a life of birds, sleep until you wake up naturally, count the money until your hands cramp, go to the street just buy and buy, and never look at the price card!

However, Lin Huimin is different from other women, which is why he has been interested in her for so long.

What you can't get is always in turmoil?

He pulled a chair and sat at the kitchen door, assumed a strange posture of a mollusk forcibly standing upright, and continued: "Everyone has been promoted to rent, if I don't get promoted, people will say, I can't be a bad market, you say, right?"

Lin Huimin didn't want to take care of this two hundred and five, and with the force of his right wrist, the shiny blade was sharpened vertically downward, and in a few clicks, he cut the chicken thigh meat into pieces the size of a fingernail.

With a slight shake of her right hand, the diced meat lay obediently on the blade, and she turned around and dialed it into a wide-mouthed bowl.

Lin Huimin is forty-three years old, not to mention the vicissitudes of life, but she has experienced a lot of personnel changes, this Ding Tianyuan has thoughts about her, and she has long felt it sensitively.

However, the method she adopted was not to make any response, and every time he came to collect the rent, she politely gave the money and went to work herself.

This time, Ding Tianyuan had such a reason again, and the rent increase was one of them, but behind this, I am afraid there are other reasons that she is unwilling to face.

Ding Tianyuan looked at Lin Huimin, who was silent, this clam that didn't open his mouth couldn't be eaten, and he couldn't stand it because he couldn't stand it.

Lin Huimin didn't speak, and he didn't know how to mention it.

He was like two stone lions at the door of the bank, playing the other end of the mouth for a while and opening the mouth for a while, but he didn't say a word.

If you want to say that Lin Huimin is a person, she usually looks soft, but sometimes she is very axial, and at this time, it is useless for you to analyze the truth with her, so she only admits her own death.

Lin Huimin sprinkled a spoonful of cooking wine, sprinkled some white pepper, salt, and starch, and picked two chopsticks to mix while watching the fire.

The oil pot was hot for seven minutes, Lin Huimin sprinkled the dried chili peppers and peppercorns in the pot, stirred a few shovels, picked up the chicken and poured it very roughly, "swoop", accompanied by white smoke and fire, the chicken turned white after a while, and the aroma of the chicken came out from the spicy, as if it could drill into the stomach from the tip of the tongue.

The diced cucumber absorbs the spicy juice, retains the crispness of the cucumber, and gives the monotonous vegetable flavor of the cucumber with appetizing spiciness.

Ding Tianyuan thinks that in addition to his figure, Lin Huimin still tastes like this.

"Sister Min, brother just say that! Brother wants to take you as a confidant, if you agree, don't say rent, this shop is all yours!" He was emboldened by this chili pepper, and immediately steamed the ruffian qi into a cage and smoked it on Lin Huimin's face, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of obscenity, "Brother said so, you know, right?"

Lin Huimin waved his shovel, dug up a spoonful of peanuts and spread them on the side of the pot, put them together, and put them in front of Ding Tianyuan: "Landlord, this is the kung pao chicken you ordered." ”

Ding Tianyuan couldn't wait to pick a cucumber, chewed it into his mouth, and the focus of the whole mouth was on the cucumber dice, which was spicy and fragrant, but the juice inside was mixed with a fragrant chicken flavor, and the refreshing juice of the cucumber itself reconciled the concentration of the juice......

He felt that what he was eating was not just a diced cucumber, but a fairy fruit that was more wonderful than the ginseng fruit in Journey to the West!

He took a few bites of rice, stuffed a mouthful of diced chicken with rice grains, and the thick spicy spicy calmed the mouth, appetizing, and eating, and the spicy fragrance made people have an endless aftertaste.

After eating, Ding Tianyuan felt that he could still squeeze out the spicy smell between his teeth, and kept smacking his mouth to reminisce.

He was thinking about striking the iron while it was hot, when he saw Lin Huimin start to pack all his belongings into a car, the chairs in the outer hall were all up, and the floodgates were pulled down by a third.

Lin Huimin didn't look at Ding Tianyuan either, as soon as he put away the dishes and chopsticks, washed his hands, wiped his hands, and said while untying his apron: "Landlord, the rent is too expensive, I can't afford to rent it, so I won't rent it." ”

"Look at your temper, this rent is expensive, we can discuss!" Ding Tianyuan didn't expect Lin Huimin to look like a soft pestle, but in fact it was a pig bone that couldn't be gnawed.

Ding Tianyuan saw that Lin Huimin didn't answer, didn't approve or say no, and began to throw material temptations-

"Sister Min, I said, why are you just like this? Look at where you live now? You still live in that rotten tiled house, and the tree in front of your house, when this typhoon comes, the tree will fall on your roof, what should you do if this roof breaks? How many times have you repaired it?"

He took a sip of water and said: "When I say that you are going to follow me, I will buy you a piece of land in the development zone, buy you a piece of 100 square meters, build a five-story building, and decorate it beautifully, then we will have a comfortable home! Besides, isn't your daughter about to go to college? This tuition, accommodation fee, book fee, travel expenses, living expenses, which is not money? You follow my brother, these are not problems! When the time comes, do you want to open a shop, brother will take you to travel all over the world!"

He thought that what he said was touching and heart-wrenching, as if his wife and children at home were all a vacuum outside the universe, and he planned the future of him and Lin Huimin.

People want faces and bark, Lin Huimin listened to Ding Tianyuan's nonsense, and felt pity for his wife and children in his heart. What kind of man is this? He has no ability, he relies on his wife's fortune, and in the end, he uses his wife's money to find a woman outside, and he can find someone who is still confident.

She thinks it's unreasonable to talk about this kind of neurosis, so it's better to shut up, otherwise people will treat you as a neuropath.

Lin Huimin hung the apron on the wall and smiled: "I have a husband, the landlord, you have a wife and children, everyone is not young, so that's all for now." ”

What kind of character is Ding Tianyuan, that coaxing eloquence is leveraged, otherwise he would not coax a wife who looks good and has a good family background with such an ordinary face.

He immediately said, "Sister Min, you calm down first." Don't be in a hurry to make a decision, brother is just showing you a more comfortable path here, you don't want to go now. When you figure it out one day, my brother is waiting for you at the other end of the road! This is left to you! And you paid the rent this month, and it's only been a few days, and when you leave like this, I don't have a deposit to refund. ”

The more Lin Huimin listened to these pretending affectionate words, the more disgusting she felt.

She took out the key from her pocket and put it on the table, "It's the middle of the month, and you only paid half of the deposit at that time, and I only paid half of the rent this month." Then you and the landlord are settled, goodbye. ”

Ding Tianyuan looked at the back in a daze, and shouted with anger and blood: "Your husband has been running away for more than ten or twenty years, what are you still thinking about him!"

Lin Huimin lowered his head, turned sideways and waved at Ding Tianyuan, and smiled: "I'm willing to worry." ”

Yes, I would like to buy a thousand dollars.

Ding Tianyuan finally knew where he planted this woman, except for her figure and cooking skills, he was impressed by this stubborn temper!

Things were done properly, and the words were beautiful, but Lin Huimin was worried before he arrived at home.

She is unwilling to continue to chase me with Ding Tianyuan, the town is small, everyone usually has little entertainment, and there are already a lot of people gossiping.

It doesn't matter if she can't hold her head up and be a person, she has to fight for some anger, don't let her daughter go out and be poked in the backbone and say that she has a mother who destroys people's families.

What's more, it's not a matter of a day or two for her to worry about Ding Tianyuan, she couldn't wipe her face before, but now her face is torn, but she is not so aggrieved.

It's just that my daughter is about to start school, what about the tuition?

It's just getting dark now, and her daughter must be worried when she goes back now.

Lin Huimin was a little dazed, and unconsciously walked to her sister's house.

She is the eldest in the family, and there is a second brother and a third sister below, and the family is very poor and white in adulthood.

Her sister Lin Huijiao has two sons, both of whom are still in elementary school, and she and her mother-in-law's uncle and her family are crammed into a small three-story building of about 30 square meters.

Lin Huijiao was stir-frying at the door of her house, the kitchen at home was too small, and she and her husband built a small kitchen with Xingpi Iron at the door of the house.

Lin Huimin smelled a smell of lard from afar.

She approached, and sure enough, she saw her sister taking a piece of pork rind and frying it in the pan.

Her family's cooking skills are good, which is probably inherited from her father.

The taste of lard is a little greasy, Lin Huimin reminded: "Come on, don't fry it for too long, it's not delicious with burnt taste." ”

Lin Huijiao turned her head in surprise, and did not forget to shovel out the fried pork skin.

"Why didn't you open a shop tonight?" Lin Huijiao handed her sister a small bench and asked while peeling garlic.

Lin Huimin sighed and didn't hide it: "I returned the shop." ”

Her sister widened: "What does it mean to retreat? What kind of shop is it to return? How difficult it is to rent a bunk now!"

Lin Huimin explained Ding Tianyuan's rent increase, as well as the bastard things that came to her store just now, and explained it to 1510.

When her sister had fried enough lard, she put garlic cloves, and after the garlic was stir-fried, she put the cabbage sum into the pot heart, and then listened to her while stir-frying the cabbage sum.

She also talked while smelling the fragrance of green vegetables, the greasy lard just removed the green taste of cabbage, garlic seeped into the dish, and added salt, so that the cabbage sum was not just salty, but a dish with a meaty fragrance in the real sense.

Lin Huijiao served a small half plate to her sister: "Let's eat and talk." ”

Lin Huimin was also really hungry, she pretended to be chic in front of Ding Tianyuan just now, and she didn't even care about dinner.

She took the plate and took a dish and put it in her mouth.

This oil melts into the dish, retaining its crisp taste, fragrant and layered!

The crispness of choy sum and the mellow aroma of oil filled her mouth, and Lin Huimin felt extremely relaxed for a moment, like a carefree and empty person.

The crispness of the vegetable bones is just right, and the juice will seep out after one bite, stimulating the secretion of saliva, and at the same time, people can't help but chew the whole vegetable in a big gulp.

Before she could finish relaxing, she heard her sister say, "What about the tuition fee for coriander?"

A word struck her heart, and her relaxed mood suddenly ran away in panic with her tail between her legs.

Tang Qian, who is at home, also put the matter of "earning tuition" on the agenda, she is not very capable of anything else, so she is very keen on "making plans" and writing blank checks for herself.

She turned the wooden bed, which was no longer than her own arm's width, squeaked and came up with a "takeaway" plan!

This plan can not only let her mother go back to her old business, but also get her mother out of the deadly little fried shop.

However, how to get customers to call and order food is still a problem, and now is not the era of the proliferation of various ordering apps, how to promote your own store is a particularly important issue.

There are also a lot of small stir-fry in the town, why should people waste a phone bill for you to deliver food?

Tang Qian was thinking about it on the bed, and she heard a knock on the door.

Tang Qian bounced up from the bed and rushed out to rescue the wooden door of her house that was about to be shot apart.

Outside the door was an anxious uncle, this person lived next door to the sixth aunt, Tang Qian definitely recognized: "Principal Yuan, what's wrong?"

In fact, Principal Yuan will retire in two years, and the children of his two sons who are in other places during the summer vacation are sent to him, saying that they are for edification.

At the moment, his eyes were red with anxiety: "Coriander, my eldest granddaughter doesn't know where she went, the old woman and I will go to her first, you can help me take a look at this little one, okay?"

Principal Yuan said, and a Tai Chi palm pushed a small fleshy ball of female baby in front of her.

Tang Qian recognized that this little girl was the one who said that she made stewed pig's trotters that day.

As soon as Tang Qian said "no problem", her thighs suddenly sank, and when she looked down, she saw that the small lump of meat was slamming the weight of her whole body on her thighs, blinking at her.

Principal Yuan saw that his little granddaughter was not afraid of life, so he said thank you and left.

The little meat ball raised his head and said pitifully: "Sister Coriander, I'm hungry, can you make me something to eat?"

Tang Qian had always liked children very much, and the appearance of this little meat ball rubbing her belly completely hit her cuteness, and she nodded immediately.

She went back to the kitchen and rummaged through the cupboards, and there was nothing left, only white rice.

She closed her eyes, thinking about the recipe in her head, and when she opened her eyes again, an open "recipe" appeared in front of her.

Picked ordinary chicken and cucumbers and closed the "recipe".

She turned on the TV in the hall: "You sit here and watch TV, call me what you want, and I'll fry you a kung pao chicken." ”

The little meat ball nodded obediently, and then quietly stared at the cartoon on the TV.

The kung pao chicken made by Tang Qian is similar to the procedure made by her mother, but she is a stubborn person who is poor and particular about eating, first using raw soy sauce and dark soy sauce to make the sauce, then using cornstarch and a small bowl of hooks, and then stir-frying with dried chili peppers.

She was very attentive when she was cooking the chili peppers, for fear that if the chili peppers were fried too old, the taste would change.

The hot pan brought out the taste of the dried chili peppers, and she quickly added the garlic and shallots, followed by diced chicken, and stir-fried them over high heat.

The aroma was carried by the steam, and the small meat ball in the hall couldn't sit still, swallowing saliva and rushing to the kitchen.

The soup coriander was frying it handy, and his thighs suddenly sank again, and when he looked down, he saw a meaty face.

Her hands and feet were occupied, so she had to say, "It's smelling here, can you go to the hall and wait for your sister?"

Xiao Rou Tuan shook his head: "Don't choke, it's so fragrant! I can eat two small bowls of rice when I smell it!"

Tang Qian smiled: "How old are you? Two small bowls of rice can't make you round." As soon as she finished speaking, she was silent, isn't this girl round?

The little meat ball seriously tilted his head and replied, "I'm in kindergarten class." I don't eat two small bowls of rice every day, and once when I was in a bad mood, I only ate one and a half bowls. ”

Speaking of the back, the tone of the small meat ball was particularly aggrieved.

Tang Qian was amused by this emotional little brat, poured the mixed sauce evenly on the fried white chicken breast, and asked, "Then why are you in a bad mood?"

The little meat ball grabbed her little ball, thought about it for a while, and said, "The little thin man sitting in front of me said that I was fat and couldn't tell my neck and chin." I hit someone, I was punished by the teacher and detained in class, and I was in a bad mood. ”

Tang Qian glanced at the little meat ball, well, the little thin man was too right, but she still decided to be a child's three views: "Then you beat the little thin man?"

When the soup is stir-fried, the flavor of the diced chicken is emanated by the sauce, and the small meat ball can't help but tilt its head and sniff with difficulty.

Before Tang Qian could say "You're not good like this", the little meat ball said, "No, I beat him at the same table." ”

There was a row of black lines on Tang Qian's forehead: "Why did you beat the same table?"

The little meat ball pouted and said, "He said that I can't tell the difference between the neck and the chin, it's the chin above the shoulders, and there is no neck." ”

Tang Qian almost slipped his hand and threw the spatula into the pot, whose child is it, it's too bad.

She suddenly felt that the little meat ball was very aggrieved, and if anyone said that, she would definitely beat her back.

"You should teach him a lesson. Tang Qian sprinkled diced cucumbers, "But it's not right to beat someone, you can scold back next time." ”

The little meat ball was obviously very entangled: "But he is very beautiful, more beautiful than my cousin who ran away from home today." ”

Tang Qian smiled evilly: "If you say that he is beautiful next time, he will definitely be angry." ”

A stomach of bad water soup coriander finally put the juice, peanuts, on the pot.

Although the little meat ball can't quite understand, Sister Coriander's words seem to make a lot of sense?

She nodded heavily!

Suddenly, a "recipe" popped up in front of her eyes, which read-

Kung Pao Chicken - 30 yuan.

As soon as she touched her pocket, there was a soft girl coin again.

It's been like this for the past few days, even if she just cooks a white porridge and mixes it with cold dishes, the "recipe" will suddenly pop up and tell her the amount of the reward.

In just seven or eight days, the dishes she cooked have been rewarded with more than 400 yuan!

She only used half of the cucumber just now, and when she saw that there was only one dish of Kung Pao chicken, she thought about it, so she filled a bowl of rice and let the small meat ball eat first.

She turned around and went back to the kitchen to smash the remaining half of the cucumber and cut it into small pieces, mixed the garlic and chili peppers, chopped them, sprinkled them into the cucumbers, poured soy sauce, added a small spoonful of vinegar, dripped, and mixed evenly.

She couldn't help but taste a piece herself, the tender and juicy cucumber was sour and spicy, both relieving the heat and chewing, the crisp sound of the click made Tang Qian couldn't help chewing hard, and the spicy and sour tip of her tongue made her tongue roll up.

The "recipe" popped up -

Shoot cucumber - 10 yuan

Every time she gave a prompt, Tang Qian felt that the blood vessels on the side of her neck were agitating, which made her want to shout!

She can really make money like this!

She doesn't have to worry about tuition fees, and she doesn't have to worry about her family's living expenses!

After some tossing, Tang Qian was also hungry.

She ate a peanut, and the crispiness of the peanut made her sandwich several at once.

Take another bite of cucumber – the sweet, spicy and spicy mix will whet your appetite.

The most common local chicken in the "recipe" has no fishy smell, only the aroma of meat, and the meat will not loosen after a bite, but maintain the integrity of the meat, and the aroma of the meat seeps out with the grinding of the teeth......

The little meat ball was full of oil in his mouth, and he said vaguely while picking up the rice: "It's so fragrant! Sister Coriander, after the summer vacation, will you come home with me to cook for me?" I'll ask my brother to pay you a salary!"

Tang Qian smiled: "But I still have to go to school after the summer vacation." ”

The little meat ball didn't seem to be very happy, and then asked aggrievedly, "Where do you go to school?"

Tang Qian received the admission letter in her last life, and she remembered that she went to A University in Jiangcheng.

But now there is still more than half a month before the date of getting the notice, she smiled and shook her head: "I don't know yet." ”

After a while, the little lump of meat was eating and worriedly running away from home with her cousin: "Where do you say she is going?

The tone of the little adult, this chubby face provoked Tang Qian to pinch her face gently.

She asked, "Why did your cousin run away?"

The little meat group said: "My cousin said that she wants to be free! My uncle is terrible! My cousin secretly doesn't let my uncle know about making friends." ”

Tang Qian found that it was too cute to see the little meat ball with a mouthful of vegetables on the side, and then she struggled to speak, so she continued to tease her: "Why don't you let your uncle know?"

Xiao Routang was thinking about eating the fragrant and tender chicken in her mouth, but she didn't expect Sister Coriander to ask her again.

Sister Coriander had to answer her questions, but she also wanted to eat chicken, so she stuffed the chicken into one of her cheeks, and when she looked at her face from the outside, she puffed up a small bag.

She thought about what her cousin said seriously: "My cousin said that my uncle is very annoying if she doesn't let her eat delicious Malatang, and it's even more annoying if she doesn't let her make friends she likes! ”

She thought about what her grandfather said again: "But grandpa said that what my cousin eats is unhygienic, and she will have stomach trouble if she eats it." She patted her round belly together, "Her friends tricked her into eating and buying food, and then asked her to pay." ”

Tang Qian probably knows what is going on, and it is estimated that the cousin of this little meat group is in the period of adolescent rebellion.

She laughed, "So you ran away?"

Xiao Rou shook his head and said mysteriously, "Cousin went out to find something to eat." ”

Tang Qian was puzzled: "Looking for something to eat?"

The little meat ball nodded excitedly: "She said to find freedom! I asked if freedom was delicious, and she said that it was soft and sweet like cotton candy, and it was delicious!

Tang Qian's head was big when she heard this, what kind of mess is this? The persistence of the second middle school girl is really very incomprehensible.

The anime on TV had already been broadcast, and it was getting dark outside.

Tang Qian thought that the business in her mother's shop should be the busiest at this time, if it weren't for watching the children for others, she would have planned to go to her mother.

At this time, Lin Huimin left the shop and went to his sister's house to sit, worrying about her future life.

And the Tang Qian family, who was eating with the little meat ball, was knocked on her door again in the laughter of the little meat ball.
