The two-minute date with Xu Wanqing was already a day ago.

In the two days she had been away, Qi An had felt a new feeling, a feeling that had not been felt in a long time.

Miss.

Yes, even after only two days of separation, Qi An still had this feeling, which made him very interested, could it be that after discovering that he could bring immortality to the people around him, his brain was so excited that he let go of the shackles of emotion?

Or, is Xu Wanqing really different? Or is there really something wrong with her psychology?

But the most important question remains, does his own blood really have the effect of making people immortal, or is James just a special case?

Perhaps, I need to find the survivors who participated in the project back then, although I did not participate in the later stage of the project, but I also understand that the purpose of the whole project is to study my own body.

Of course, the basis of the search is if someone is not killed.

Of course, he didn't have time to think about that right now.

Since this morning, Qi An was eating noodles and tea at a Beijing restaurant, when Wang Cheng made a phone call.

"Boss! Brother Qi! Jin ...... That Jin Mancheng is coming!" Wang Cheng's tone was filled with haste and surprise, as if he had met some great person.

"Don't be in such a hurry, Brother Wang, say it well, who's coming?" Qi An was holding the last bit of sesame sauce at the bottom of the bowl with a spoon, and it was a little funny to hear Wang Cheng's breathless voice.

"That's it, Jin Mancheng!" Although Wang Cheng had calmed down, there was still a kind of excitement in his tone.

"It's the one who is called Jinbancheng, the largest catering giant in Dengzhou City!"

Qi An remembered that he did know a man named Jin Mancheng, who wanted to give him a chef as a congratulatory gift for his opening.

As a friend, Qi An should naturally accept the gift, but Qi An had no shortage of cooks, so he politely declined him.

He came today, maybe not only to cheer on his friends, but also to help himself become famous.

"Did he bring anyone along, say, a journalist or something?" asked Qi An.

Wang Cheng was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then replied: "There are a few people who look like reporters or something, all with cameras in their hands. ”

Yes, Wang Cheng's answer confirmed his guess, Jin Mancheng really wanted to help him make a name for himself.

"Let them wait a while, and I'll go back when the opening time comes." Qi An greeted the restaurant owner, "Boss, another bowl of bean juice and a coke ring." ”

"This ......" Wang Cheng glanced in the direction of the lobby, although there was a curtain separating it, he could imagine how awkward the atmosphere outside was, "Let people wait for us, isn't this okay?"

"What's wrong with this?" Qi Anzi took a sip of bean juice, ho, it was still the sour and rancid taste in his memory, "The rules can't be changed, so it's decided, you go and entertain them first." ”

"Please, bring me a plate of spicy pickles. Qi An said with a smile on the face of the restaurant owner.

After receiving Qi An's instructions, Wang Cheng looked at the waiter who was also embarrassed to go out with some embarrassment, and waved his hand, "You stay here, I'll go out to entertain them." ”

As he spoke, he found the tea that Qi An usually likes to drink.

When the boss pushes the trouble on me, then brother, I'll have to let you break the bank.

Wang Cheng took a few bowls from the tray, adjusted his expression, and walked out with a smile.

Although Qi An was drinking bean juice, he had made up his mind in his heart to dry the golden city for an hour to see his reaction.

Ever since he was inexplicably qualified to enter the Gothic Bar (Clubhouse), Qi An has made friends with this Golden City.

Qi An has always believed that of course there can be no friends in the world for no reason, and even if you can't think of what he wants to get from you, he must have his own purpose.

And what Qi An has to do now is to test Jin Mancheng's bottom line, if his purpose is not pure, then don't say an hour today, he will wait for ten hours.

"Boss, your pickles aren't spicy enough, they're not spicy enough! I won't pay for this next time!" Qi An walked out singing a little song while making a completely pointless threat!"

——————————

An hour was coming, and Wang Cheng saw that the faces of the dozen or so people opposite were not very good.

Only Jin Mancheng still beckoned the waiter to fill his tea bowl with water, and there was no trace of impatience on his face, as if he had just sat down.

Wang Cheng didn't know what medicine was being sold in Qi An's gourd, although he listened to Qi An's instructions and was not too attentive, but he inevitably respected him.

The minute hand of the wall clock on the wall has pointed to 11, and the waiter has finished cleaning up the lobby and is ready to open, but Qi'an still hasn't appeared.

A secretary-like person beside Jin Mancheng leaned down and whispered something in his ear, and Jin Mancheng waved his hand: "Needless to say, all the next arrangements for today have been canceled." ”

"Today, my only arrangement is to cheer for Brother Qi. ”

As soon as the words fell, Qi An pushed open the door and walked in.

"It turned out to be Brother Jin," Qi An smiled, "Brother Jin is here to cheer me on today?"

When Jin Mancheng saw Qi An, the shelf he was holding was put down in an instant, and he hugged his fists: "Brother Qi, brother, I'm here to cheer you on." ”

He pointed to the food reporters behind him who didn't dare to sit down and could only stand for an hour, "Look! ”

Qi An looked at these people, walked over and made a cup of tea for Jin Mancheng, and said, "Brother Cheng can afford it, that's okay, brother, you sit down for a while, and I'll come back when I go." ”

Saying that, he went into the back kitchen, and he didn't know what to say to Wang Cheng, Wang Cheng walked under the water brand, picked up the chalk, erased all the original dish names, and rewrote:

Today's features

Pearl jade white jade soup 100/serving

Homemade side dishes 50 per serving

The pearl jade and white jade soup is one of the most famous dishes in Chinese history. According to legend, Zhu Hongwu, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, was poor when he was a child, and he was once helped by others, and he ate this dish.

After becoming the Son of Heaven, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly remembered this dish, and sent his general Chang Yuchun to bring back the old woman who gave him back to make this dish again, but Zhu Chongba was very dissatisfied after eating it.

It turns out that the so-called pearl jade white jade soup is just a random stew of various dishes. The so-called pearl is the rice grain of leftovers, the jade is cabbage, and the white jade is the jade.

Later, the Ming Imperial Dining Room replaced pearls with fish dragons, cut strips with red persimmon peppers instead of Fei (Fei is red jade), replaced Cui with spinach (Cui is green jade), replaced white jade with tofu and filling, and poured fish bone soup.

This has been improved into a pearl jade white jade soup that is really on the table.

And what Qi 'an did today is the former.

Scoop out the stock prepared by the apprentice in advance, put it in a pot, take the fresh lactone tofu and cut it into pieces, and put it in the stock and boil for seven or eight minutes.

At this time prepare the jadeite part. Take the washed and cut spinach, blanch it and set it aside.

Cut the cabbage into cubes and cook in a soup pot for 10 minutes.

Then there is the pearl part, Qi An does not plan to use the leftover rice grains, because the time is too rushed, and the taste of dry rice grains will be much worse.

He was going to use fresh shellfish, which he cut into small pieces, which looked a little like small pearls.

Once all the ingredients are ready, boil the scallops in the stock and the tofu, just sprinkle a little salt to taste, and cook on high heat for a minute to reduce the juice.

Then use the water in which the cabbage has been boiled to hook a thin layer of sauce, and then turn off the heat.

Add the spinach to the plate and sprinkle with chopped green onions and a pinch of ground ham.

Today's pearl jade and white jade soup is the most homely dish, and Qi An only looks more beautiful when it is cooked.

For the sake of simplicity, a pot of soup is already divided into a dozen small bowls when it is served.

Qi An personally took a small bowl and put it in front of Jin Mancheng, and the rest of the waiters put it on other tables.

Jin Mancheng looked left and right and said, "Sit down and take care of yourself." ”

The food reporters sat separately around several tables.

Ignoring others, Jin Mancheng looked at the small bowl of white jade soup in front of him that was still steaming.

"It's like soup, it's not soup, it's like soup. Jin Mancheng nodded, a little surprised, "At this time, brother, you can't see it, my brother has profound skills at a young age." ”

Qi An just made a "please" gesture, Jin Mancheng picked up the spoon on the side, put aside the spinach, scooped a spoonful of soup to his mouth and blew it.

"The light fragrance," he closed his eyes and savored the taste, "the sweetness of spinach, the fragrance of tofu, and the freshness of fresh shellfish." ”

"It seems that there is another taste?" he looked at Qi An, "It's a kind of sweetness, yes, it's the water hooked with cabbage, right?"

As soon as he said this, Qi An was a little surprised, he was able to guess what tasted nothing, but he could accurately distinguish which sweetness was spinach and which was cabbage from the sweetness of the vegetables in the soup, which was amazing.

"Brother Qi, don't be surprised, brother, when I was not in the beginning, I was also a cook. Jin Mancheng mentioned his identity as a chef and seemed a little proud, "It was because of my unusual taste that I could ...... back then."

He snorted, "Let's not talk about this, let's not talk about this."

Then he picked up the tea on the side and cleared his mouth, and said loudly: "Everyone, remember, today's soup, I said it in Jinbancheng, it's delicious!"

When Wang Cheng heard this, he was extremely excited, an unhealthy flush appeared on his face, and he only felt his heart beating violently.

That's the praise of Jinmancheng! In Dengzhou City, this is a golden signboard!

The food reporters next to them, although they were called here by Jin Mancheng today, they knew that they would definitely have to capitalize on the praise.

But they didn't expect that an ordinary home-cooked dish could be so delicious.

Even if it is a spinach leaf inside, the blanching is just right, and when you eat it, you can not only taste the sweetness of the whole soup, but also the crisp sweetness unique to the spinach itself.
