Chapter 24: It's hard to get tired of each other
I heard that Shishang's braised sauce meat market has been famous for more than two months, and when I conducted market research, I was surprised to find that in addition to the lunch business, the purchase channels of four or five braised meat stalls around the university town and on Dayingpan Street are also in Shishang, and the curiosity about Chu Xiunu lies in this, and I also want to see how powerful this food fashion that pries away the New World Market is.
But what kind of mystery fades away that veil is clear to everyone, except for the pot plus the big place, the rest of the place is a little cold, at this time there are more than 30 earthen jars in the marinade sauce workshop, half buried in the ground, exposed to the ground more than half a person high, leaning against the window A few cases, like a place to put spices, the light is a little dark, but the boss Jian who is doing the knife by the window is very clear in his eyes, starting the knife, slicing, The slicing is smooth, and Chu Xiunu, who has done catering, is more and more sure of the idea in her heart at this time, this person is an authentic chef, and this knife work cannot be practiced in a day or two.
So what does this former policeman and current chef want to do? He invited himself here diligently, just to taste his craft, and he couldn't persuade himself and wanted to convince himself by another way?
Strange, even a little inexplicable, Chu Xiunu secretly said in her heart, looking at Jian Fan smiling and showing goodwill, I don't know whether to smile at herself or at the woman next to her, and she still has a piece of pork face meat in her hand, and vaguely feels that it is just a piece of marinated sauce meat, no matter how good it is, what can it be?
Looking sideways at the woman next to her, she was a little strange about the relationship between the pair, and she seemed to feel that the relationship between the two was not ordinary, but she felt stunned as if it had nothing to do with it. But this woman seems to know Jian Fan and here very well, the meat is not cut well, and she fell there with a smile and said loudly, Jian Fan, the longer you grow, the better you are, the better the meat is getting hungry,
"Hey, hey. You don't. There is also meat added to the body, but it is not added to the serious place, and Jian Fan also smiled and replied. provoked Zeng Nan to snort, Chu Xiunu listened to this **naked joke, and was slightly displeased, this joke was still a little rude.
Four or five kinds of meat are good for a while, shouting that the horse shed navy in the outhouse brought an old table, and the black egg held the two stools diligently, and invited Zeng Nan and Mr. Chu to sit down in the empty room, and the two porcelain plates fell from Jian Fan's hand to the table, and they were clean. The horse shed prepared two plates of garlic paste, and a drop of sesame oil was dripped in the middle of the white Yingying garlic paste, which was very good-looking, Jian Fan's posture had not been done yet, Zeng Nan couldn't wait to stuff a piece of beef into his mouth, and said while chewing, delicious, delicious, "It seems that fat and thin are not taboo." After tasting the beef and holding a long piece of pig's head meat dipped in a large piece of garlic paste, chewing and talking, I know that your cat has been studying this thing for two years, yes, this thing can enter the State Guest Building
It's a bit exaggerated, Jian Fan looked at Chu Xiunu just looking at the aroma of the meat, smelling the sauce, and looking at the texture, she was obviously a eater, and Zeng Nan's straw bag was naturally not the same, and she interrupted Zeng Nan's words and said: "Shut up, no one will dumb you if you don't speak, you still need to be entrusted with this earth-shattering thing that cries ghosts and gods?
One said that these cooks are used to joking. The Navy described: "Absolutely big supplement, the men ate the **, and the women ate the watery."
This caused the cook to laugh. It's a pity that the navy speaks in a strong rural accent and doesn't hear it too clearly. Jian Fan's face flushed, and he didn't know how to explain to Mr. Chu, Zeng Nan saw the opportunity quickly, and turned around and called black eggs, eggs. Go pour a glass of wine for my sister. As soon as the black egg was ordered, De'er trotted and poured two large bowls of corn yolk for the general, Zeng Nan drank it immediately, completely ignoring the image.
The hooligan habits of this girl are no less than Tang Datou's, and Jian Fan is a little dumbfounded. Thinking about Zeng Nan, a woman who came out of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that she has never had a relationship with a lady. At this time, looking at Chu Xiunu, there was a stark contrast, she took a piece of sauce beef and chewed it carefully, and plucked up the courage to dip it in the garlic paste and take a small bite, followed by a slight smile on her face, she ate it all, and held another piece, as if she was observing what the texture and method was, and then put it in her mouth after a little look, chewed, and nodded slightly. The food is elegant.
After a while, Zeng Nan had already eaten half of it, and Chu Xiunu had only tasted a few slices, put down her chopsticks, looked at the clear and golden wine, and took a sip with a small bowl. He smashed his lips very loudly, looked back at Jian Fan, but looked at Jian Fan with a look of disbelief and suspicion, and said, "With this thing, do you still need to cooperate with me?"
"What do you mean?"
"This is made by a secret method, at least I haven't tasted it in the market, especially the pork face meat is not only greasy, but also retains a certain hardness. The bite is like a pig's ear crispy shreds, at least I have never seen this kung fu, and this sauce beef. The sauce on the outside is bright in color, and the texture on the meat on the inside is distinct. It's like a freshly cut and killed, and the taste is all soaked into the flesh, fresh, fragrant, tender, and smooth. And there are chewy heads, a variety of opposite characteristics are reflected, now I believe that you are indeed a chef to put it simply, this thing will be given to that family will treat you as a guest, or you don't have to cooperate with others at all, self-produced and self-sold, it won't take a few years to have a place in the provincial capital, and our New World catering business is barely considered to be in the middle and lower, if you really sell this set of West in New World, no problem, I will promise you now, divide it into let's finalize it.
Chu Xiunu couldn't believe it, but she had to believe the facts in front of her, after all, it was all businessmen who could see the business opportunities in it, and when it came to cooperation, she didn't expect Jian Fan to shake her head and say, "You only taste one or two cylinders." I can't make so much, just if I want to sell marinated sauce meat, I don't have to make a box lunch. ”
"Then what do you mean" Chu Xiunu asked, a little no, for this back-and-forth person.
"Mr. Chu, do you taste much better than the entrainment in the lunch. Jian Fan asked.
Chu Xiunu nodded, obviously a notch higher.
"That's the problem, I'm not going to hide it from you. This is made by a secret method, but the amount of output of the secret method is already very small, why, the environment and food conditions have been limited to allow "tap water with bleaching, pigs fattening for three months, beef cattle fattening for half a year, Meat sheep is much worse in taste, and most of the raw materials prepared by Chinese patent medicine are artificially cultivated, and the taste is a lower grade, so the mass-produced meat we sell on the market, and the meat made by real local methods, are two grades, and the one you taste is impossible to make in large quantities Jian Fan said with a little disappointment, at the same time... Bottle strength. Ingredients and medicinal materials have become the bottle of mass production of braised sauce meat, and the objective conditions are no longer allowed.
Even if it is a lower grade, this taste is unique Chu Xiunu said, for what she just tasted, she is indeed a little envious.
"So I'm looking for you? First, you don't run very well, it's just right for me, even if you downgrade it, it's easy to pull the buffet business, and it's easy to see the effect, on the other hand, if a well-run hotel or restaurant chain, they won't give up their vested interests to sell this, isn't it? It is also easy to form a word-of-mouth effect, a pass ten, ten to a hundred, this effect can be much better than advertising; third, you are walking the bottom route, with visible beef and mutton, water meat is just marketable, in the face of the largest customer base, this secret method I drilled for two years to appear, compared to this era of pursuit of everything and efficiency is no longer suitable. It is impossible for me to dig a deep well or draw water from a mountain spring, let alone feed a herd of naturally growing pigs, sheep, cows, chickens and ducks. Therefore, the procedure can only be simplified to the greatest extent, that is, it can be made slightly better than others, and Jian Fan explained calmly. This is also the result of two years of pondering, and this era has killed many traditional things. Like the decline of traditional Chinese medicine, like the subversion of traditional concepts, and like this book from the traditional sixteen-flavor book; it is not difficult to make it, but it is rare for you to go to find naturally grown ingredients? Who would be stupid enough to spend a year feeding a pig that grows less than 200 pounds.
"It's true that "the current food safety and food additives are all a problem" So, Mr. Jane, I'll go back and negotiate with the department managers, and then reply to you, okay? Chu Xiunu heard the truth and left her mouth. got up and motioned to shake hands with Jian Fan, everyone always felt uncomfortable eating in front of them, and they wished they could end the trip early.
Jian Fan responded with a smile, and sent Chu Xiunu to the car, I don't know if she was really tempted, or if she just gave an excuse, Chu Xiunu didn't say anything, and gradually disappeared into Jian Fan's eyes while driving the car
"Yo,, everyone is gone, and then I see that my eyes have fallen,"
Jian Fan turned around with a smile, Zeng Nan ate and drank, took a glass of water and drank it, stood at the door and joked with a smile: "Jian Fan, has a new goal? She doesn't look as good as Sister Jiang, and even I am not as good as me." ”
"We only met at noon today, and it became a goal? If you don't look at people, you don't like to talk to me
"Well, that's it, that's your question" Hey, I said, why are you dressed like this now, so you don't bother to seduce that girl, and it makes people look pleasing to the eye?"
"Come on, what do I dress up in the kitchen every day? Then you can find me an Armani brand apron. Do you want to stop coming to the double playboy sleeves, have you ever seen a master in a suit and leather shoes?"
Jian Fan smiled and turned around to return to the scene, not at all dissatisfied. Zeng Nan spat out with laughter when he heard this, and chased Jian Fan's steps on his feet, and asked: "Hey, I've seen Tang Datou, have you seen it?" He has a child, and the child's tiger-headed and tiger-headed Tang Datou looks exactly the same, looking at the laughing person, giggles, do you have time at night? ”
I went into the kitchen and cleaned up the things in the marinade. Closing the lid and locking the door, Zeng Nan chattered about the old half, talking about the joy of Tang Datou's family, and about the good operation of VIA. Speaking of the fact that he had heard some news about Jian Fan in the past two years, and when it came to the few times he went to the Ping'an Community to find someone and missed, Jian Fan laughed it off. didn't answer, and waited until he walked out of the kitchen and went upstairs. Zeng Nan chased after him again, his tone didn't have the joy of seeing him for the first time, and asked gloomily: "Jian Fan" If you want to drive me away, I'll leave immediately, come from afar, don't you show me a look?"
"My face is not good-looking, who will show you your face?, did I drive you away?" Jian Fan turned his head and looked a bit like Zeng Nan who had been wronged. I have always been a little uncertain about those charming eyes, women's eyes are a problem, everyone looks like they have a leg with whom, for example, now, Jian Fan looks at Zeng Nan like a wronged little daughter-in-law, pouting slightly. The slanted fat came over, as if waiting for the man in front of him to give him some sun-like caresses.
"Then you ignore me for a long time, and you don't say a word. Zeng Nan was a little angry, "You all say some trivial things between girls." I'm such a big boss now, do I talk nonsense with you?. Jian Fan disdained a sentence, just like an ordinary friend, turned upstairs, and turned back to beckon: "Come, go to the general manager's office," It's still early. ”
Zeng Nan was happy when he heard the invitation, and quickly followed behind Jian Fan, gathering on the second floor, the narrow corridor, and the old-style wooden door looked like it was painted with mesh paint not long ago. It is the same as the first floor, and when I entered the room in the middle, I recognized at a glance that it was a few pieces of furniture in the house in the Ping'an Community, and they were all moved here. One bed, two tables and one cabinet, the hanger is surrounded by simple cloth, and the shabby of a bachelor is everywhere, and he sat down. Jian Fan turned on the water heater and waited, but when he turned around, he sat on the chair with a smile and said generously: "starts", do you want to reminisce or do you want to talk about something new?"
It was a joke, but it didn't make Zeng Nan laugh. I saw that Zeng Nan was solemn at this time, and he put his left and right hands on the table and asked weakly, "Jian Fan." Two years ago you said goodbye without saying goodbye, more than two years. You didn't tell me when you came back that I wanted to go to you, but Uncle Li said that men need a calm time and a lonely room, or they will never grow up, "Do you still have an opinion of me!?"
"Forget it, it's all over, what can I think" Li Wei is not dead yet, is he still thinking about me?" Jian Fan said with relief, but when he heard Uncle Li, his heart was a little unbalanced. Hearing this, Zeng Nan smiled and said: "In the United States, An Ansheng has become a rich man, do you hate him so much? Why do I think you shouldn't hate him? Even the suspicion between the two of us was resolved by you, you two are very strange, he is full of praise for you, you are full of hatred for him." ”
"If you want to talk about scheming, I have to admire him, he tied public grievances and personal grudges together, deceived all people, related and unrelated, and came to a big reckoning, I am day and night, I can't prevent it, or I was fooled, but Li Wei is a dog thing, he was deceived..." I wanted to be obituary, but I was still in the whirlpool, and I almost lost my life, do you think I love him?" Jian Fan said with relief, the temptation of 20 million is estimated that no one can stop it, and he signed it consciously and voluntarily. It seems that he can't complain about Li Wei, he just wants to be angry, and he was put on the table for no reason.
"Isn't this world all liars, deceiving one or two is a liar, and deceiving thousands of successful people. I deceived all people, that is, the social elite, at least we are deceiving people every day as a real estate agent, I don't know when I tell the truth and when I tell lies. But one thing, I didn't lie to you. Zeng Nan confessed.
"It's okay, you lie, we don't care, we didn't care before, and now we don't care about anyone's master, and we don't care anymore. Jian Fan listened to the sound of the water, got up to two glasses of water, handed Zeng Nan a glass, and gave Zeng Nan a narrow look, which made Zeng Nan very uncomfortable, snorted in his nose, turned his head to the side, and said a little wrongly: "I just feel that I still have an opinion of me." Originally, it was good when I was friends, but then I have been lukewarm, and I don't know that your tendon is wrong. ”
"My tendons are right, it's your feeling that is wrong" Don't mention it before, it's boring, you are pitiful and alone in Dayuan, Li Wei is pitiful and alone abroad, wrongs have been avenged, revenge has been avenged, and people are also cold, is it still interesting to mention those things again? Do you think you live a very happy life, and I don't think there is anything wrong with doing what I have always liked, I didn't tell you when I went back to Dayuan. And I didn't tell anyone, I was afraid of disturbing other people's lives, and I didn't mean anything else. Jian Fan said slowly, blowing the mouth of the cup and taking a sip of boiled water. Zeng Nan listened to this indifferent words, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart, playing with the hot cup, and faintly felt that Jian Fan was a little rejecting people thousands of miles away, but this way of rejecting people was more clever than before, and this kind of rejection seemed to imply that you are you, I am me, and they have nothing to do with each other.
After thinking about it, he raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him, which was already very different from the handsomeness in the previous impression, and the hideous inch-long scar added a bit of majesty, but it was indeed a little broken. Let's do this. The man looked extraordinarily pale, and his complexion was not as pale as before, dyed with the color of fireworks behind the stove in front of the stove, looking at this time, he looked more like a person who came out of the complicated and hard manual labor, and originally wanted to ask about the sale of the house and the lack of money in business, but Zeng Nan suppressed it vividly, and those things seemed to hurt the man's fragile dignity a little.
After thinking about it again, Zeng Nan spoke silently, and said softly: Actually, I don't want to disturb your life, but there are some unfinished things that you still need to know, when I went to look for you two years ago. You're gone,"
"Is there anything else Li Wei has to do with Anchen?"
"You know?"
"I don't know, guess. ”
"What did you guess?"
"I guess, after all the dust settles, Li Wei will be able to get out if I still have my life. He will definitely give me some benefits to make me think of his good, otherwise, he will pull me into the case as an irrelevant person, and he will have a troubled conscience for the rest of his life, this seems wrong, and he may not have a conscience, with his treacherous and loyal and sleek temperament, he will definitely be annoyed and angry when he thinks that I am left with nothing, and maybe he will take his anger on VIA's successor" Hehe, so, I need him to be the first to appease. ”
Jian Fan said this with a smile, but Zeng Nan was a little stunned when he heard it, he originally thought that Li Wei was quite nostalgic and a good friend, but in Jian Fan's mouth, this was also a strategy, and now it is a little unclear whether Li Wei is thoughtful or Jian Fan's psychology is dark. After a moment of silence, he smiled weakly. He smiled and said, "It's all over, don't think about it so much, the result is always good, VIA Real Estate Agency has 15% of your shares." You're the second largest shareholder after me, how's that? Can this identity surprise you a little?" ”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Jian Fan expectantly, expectantly seeing the ecstatic expression of this seemingly down-and-out man when he encountered a life-saving straw, and maybe he would also thank her for being a person who sent charcoal in the snow.
The fact is that there is no surprise at all, Jian Fanyu smiled disdainfully, and looked at Zeng Nan strangely, Zeng Nan was shocked and warned: "Hey, don't get sick, this is a good dividend of two or three hundred thousand yuan a year, which is enough for you to live a happy life." You need money to do business, why sell your house and land. Why bother to beg for that. Mr. Chu?"
"Hehe, then you didn't help me, didn't I do the same?" Jian Fan choked, Zeng Nan understood when he heard it, and he was really sick. Especially with money. As soon as I saved it, it stiffened again. Frowning and asking, "You", won't it be again, right?"
"Don't!" Jian Fan said categorically: "Give it to whoever you like, I have my own way to make money, then, you see." And now there are so many subordinates, and I don't lack the money. If you don't remit the money from the dividends to Li Wei, just say that I pity him for being alone and lonely, and give him the pension money, and if you want to raise the money and Li Wei again, I will really kick you out of the door. ”
"Well, don't mention it. Zeng Nan waved his hands. In order to show that he gave up, he knew Jian Fan's awkward temperament very well, and turned back and asked: "Then are we friends? Don't you even recognize me? I don't want you, and I also want you to make braised sauce meat and stir-fried vegetables?"
"Oh," that's no problem, feel free to come and taste Jian Fan's obvious overture. I don't mind, watching Zeng Nan steal fun. The calm face is also a very serious warning: "My brother is clear about the accounts, pay as much as you eat, don't want to get cheap to me."
Zeng Nan sneered on one side, he really couldn't understand this Jian Fan, who had a lot of money and didn't want a small amount of money, but the anchor sister would take it, for fear that others wouldn't know that he was a small citizen and a small city. "Let's go, cut the brain mutton, sauce beef. After the whole jar of wine, Old Tang asked a few times a few times, if he can accept you, I don't mind", let's go. ”
Jian Fan shouted, Zeng Nan was a little unhappy, and followed Jian Fan stupidly, silently for a long time, as if he was very unhappy with the kind of concern for Tang Datou that he heard in his words, as if his weight was not as good as that cripple man"
