Infinite Scenery of Ten Thousand Lights(54)
At the morning meeting that day, Mr. Huang actually came, saying that there was no class that day. That day, Yu Yuanming happened to be presiding over the morning meeting, and he found that there was a young woman sitting next to Teacher Huang in the back row, and he didn't know him. I thought it was an increase in newcomers, and I didn't think much about it.
After the meeting, Mr. Huang came to Yu Yuanming with a smile, pulled him aside and asked him quietly: Director Yu, do you have a girlfriend now?
Yu Yuanming was a little surprised, and replied truthfully: No, Mr. Huang, do you want to introduce me?
Teacher Huang smiled: Yes, I just think you guys are good. I used to have a student who is now a nurse at Hongqi Chemical Factory Hospital. I don't have a boyfriend either, I think you two are a good fit, and I'm going to introduce you to each other.
Yu Yuanming replied: Okay! Mr. Huang, you are so good!
Teacher Huang continued to smile and said, "I called her here this morning, and she saw you at the morning meeting just now. It's up to you to be satisfied.
Yu Yuanming was suddenly attacked, and he was a little confused: What?
In retrospect, the strange girl was looking at herself.
Teacher Huang said: Don't be nervous. You've done so well in insurance, it's definitely fine.
Just treat it as a stranger!
Yu Yuanming said: That's still different. Let's get to know each other first and be ordinary friends. Okay, let's talk about it.
Teacher Huang snickered: Okay, you wait a minute. I'm going to call her over.
Yu Yuanming suddenly felt nervous, and his heart pounded inexplicably.
After a while, Teacher Huang came over with the girl. The girl was also quite shy, and her face was very red, but her skin was good, and she looked good when she was red.
Yu Yuanming also looked at her, a not tall, plump girl, with a face like a full moon, good skin, fair and moist. I wore a shirt with small pink flowers, which felt a little tight, and the buttons on my chest were tight.
Teacher Huang introduced: Director Yu, come and get to know each other. This is my student, and I would like to introduce you to you today. Her name is Zhou Yulan. Magnolia, this is Yu Yuanming in charge. Very excellent!
Zhou Yulan was still a little shy, lowered her head, and glanced up at Yu Yuanming again. Say hello softly!
Yu Yuanming has calmed down, and he still responded very enthusiastically: You're welcome. Call me Yuanming. I don't have anything to prepare today, so why don't we have dinner together at noon?
Teacher Huang couldn't wait to match immediately: Okay, you two will have a meal together and have a chat. I won't be with you if I have to go to class.
Zhou Yulan replied softly: I also asked for leave, and I will go back to work later. Otherwise, it will be too late. Will you make an appointment next time?
As he spoke, he glanced at Yuanming with his eyes.
Yu Yuanming must have no choice but to do it casually.
So we simply met, left each other's phone numbers, and got back in touch.
In Guixi, Wang Chengkuan and Zhang Changbing were making preparations, and the conditions were very difficult and the results were different.
They first went to rent a house, and when they settled down, they went around looking for people based on their connections.
Speaking of which, there are some seven-seven-eighty-eight relationships, but when they really take action, the two know that these weak relationships can't play any role at all. The five same methods of insurance companies: fellow villagers, classmates, same clans, and same interests, colleagues do not work here at all. Because you are two outsiders, there is no connection with the local area.
The only thing is to be familiar with the roads, and to mix a few streets quite well. After a long period of tasting and comparison, they selected a restaurant as a long-term designated canteen. That restaurant is called the first one in Watertown, and it sells some stir-fried food. The store is not big, and the owner directly moved the pot stove outside and stir-fried on the road. Not for anything else, it's cheap and convenient.
In fact, not far from the next door, there is a restaurant that is more comfortable. The two of them only occasionally make improvements. It is the most famous bean flower restaurant in the city, and its name is Gao Laozhuang. The female boss is not surnamed Zhu, but really surnamed Gao.
Guixi is an agricultural county, and the urban planning is much better than that of Longcheng, but the economy is a little worse. Because after all, it is flat, so there are several roads extending in all directions in the county, which is similar to the chessboard planning in the north. There is no industry, and the air quality is better. I really don't know if it's good or bad. The most famous thing in this Guixi is Sanhua. Two tourism products, one catering brand. Tourism is the peony flower in the south of the city, and there is an event every year. Invite celebrities to perform, sing, entrepreneurs to invest. After a few years, it is relatively famous, and the citizens around Gongzhou flock to see the peony flowers in March every year. The second flower is the rape flower of Mu'an. Mu'an was originally a township, but it was later demolished in the nineties in the process of demolishing the township and building a town, and it was assigned to the management of the adjacent Minxing Town. Less than 1,000 meters from Mu'an Street to Shaping Town, there is a large rape base. It turned out that no one paid attention, and the rape flowers bloomed and withered year after year. Later, a photographer in Chongqing took a few photos of rape flowers and won the prize. As soon as this spread, the county and the town immediately woke up, built small roads, planted rape in the surrounding fields, and built farmhouses next to them. A nondescript basketball court was also built in front of the village committee. Therefore, going to Mu'an to see rape flowers in March every year has become another major event in addition to the Peony Festival in Guixi County.
The third flower is the high bean flower.
Soy products are indeed a great invention of the Chinese nation, in addition to the common tofu dried bean sprouts, bean curd, tofu brain, is also very interesting.
For example, tofu brain, the northern and southern schools are different. The sweet and salty dispute can be dragged for a long time, but it is a joke in the eyes of Gongzhou people.
Where can a taste satisfy the discerning taste of Gongzhou people?
First of all, there must be oil and spicy seeds! There must be pepper noodles! Pickle grains, crispy soybeans, finely chopped green onions, monosodium glutamate, sesame oil and garlic, and ginger must be there!
One salty, one sweet, what's that?
Bean curd is different from tofu brain. The first is the method of preparation, and the second is the method of eating.
Tofu brain is washed with gypsum, and the soy milk can be solidified. The scoop out is also smooth and delicate, and the incision is smooth.
There are two ways to ignite bean curd, one is gypsum and one is salt brine.
Yu Yuanming prefers salted and brine because the bean curd ordered is more delicious.
Drain the soy milk, pour it into a large pot and bring to a boil. The salt brine is then diluted with water. Scoop well with a large spoon and spread flat in the pan. Slowly tilt the salt brine into the pot as you walk.
After a few times, the pot began to be chaotic, and then it was clear. Lumps of bean blossoms are soaked in the cellar water, like white clouds one by one. At this time, you need to use a basket to gently squeeze and scoop out the excess cellar water with a water scoop. Wait until the bean curd is squeezed together and formed, and then use the empty rice bowl to turn it upside down and buckle it to the edge of the pot, and a pot of bean curd will be.
Before scooping it out and serving it to the table, it also needs to be cut horizontally and vertically with a knife (or thin bamboo slices). The texture resembles a checkerboard line. In this way, the bean curd is brick by brick, which is easy to cook.
Of course, it takes skill to order the bean curd, the bean curd pointed out by the master seems to be tender, but the chopsticks are very tight, not easy to break, and the light of life flashes tremblingly.
Serve the bean curd, steaming, white, take a sip of cellar water, slightly sweet, refreshing and greasy, hot and appetizing. In addition, this bean curd also needs a seasoning. This is the core competitiveness of Gao Douhua.
The general seasoning is just spicy seeds, Sichuan pepper, soy sauce, monosodium glutamate, garlic paste, ginger rice, chopped green onion and so on. Even if it is oily and spicy, it is also less oil and more chili peppers, and the restaurant in Yu Yuanming's house is like this.
Gao Laozhuang is different, first of all, her seasoning is not a plate, but a small bowl. Secondly, the spice table is a long table, which is filled with all kinds of red, red, green and green spices, and you can add them according to your taste.
The type is oily and spicy, with a thick layer of red oil on top, which looks drooling. Sichuan pepper noodles are thin, and there will never be half of the shell that can't be spit out behind the tongue, and it is inconvenient to pick it with your hands. A large pot of green onions, green mixed with green onions, is very good-looking. There are also chopped coriander leaves, dried shelled and casinged crushed peanuts, pickle granules, crispy soybeans, monosodium glutamate, salt, seasoning salt, soy sauce, vinegar, green pepper puree, lettuce oil, sesame oil, garlic paste, ginger rice, dried chili noodles, chopped pickled peppers......
Therefore, with this Douhuaer Gao boss, he has established himself in the city and made a lot of money.
Of course, it's not Douhuaer who makes the most money.
Instead, it is to roast vegetables, such as roasted fat sausages, roasted beef, braised pork, and roasted pork ribs. There are also steamed dishes, such as roasted white, tamales, steamed mutton, and steamed pork ribs. There are also stir-fried dishes, which are nothing more than back to the pot meat, hot kidney flowers, spicy fish, home-cooked pork liver and the like.
It is the meat dishes that make money, but it is the signature bean curd that attracts customers.
The boss's abacus is also crackling.
Wang Chengkuan and Zhang Changbing went to eat twice, and they were embarrassed to only eat bean curd again, and ordered a few meat dishes, and the cost was high. Forget it, it's the first one in Shuicheng, and a fried rice will be sent away for a few dollars.
So, it's not uncommon to see two young men in shirts and ties eating simple meals on the street. After eating, everyone paid their own money, and the Longmen Array still set up a partner.
They don't know where the next breakthrough will be.
