400, born to know

On the first day of November, Wang Bo didn't go anywhere except for riding his bicycle to the farmers' market to pick up two bags of "big fish and meat", and stayed at home all day. In the morning, he accompanied Guan Ping and Jiang Mei while sitting in the living room watching TV, while playing with the two of them, listening to the two daughters taking turns to put their childhood stories, and he also appropriately put some little-known stories for the two of them after an hour, creating a talented and intelligent young man who knows what to see and understand, and can draw inferences from one another, a genius boy with super hands-on ability, a good student in the eyes of teachers, and an image of a good doll in the eyes of parents. What he said was basically the truth, but the tone was exaggerated, the movements were funny, and the two girls laughed happily from time to time, but neither of them believed it.

"Alas, I tell you the truth, but you think I'm talking about fasting. Okay, you don't believe that I'm self-taught, right? I'll convince you today!" Wang Bo rolled up his sleeves and said with a "disconvinced" expression.

"Then how do you prove it, Bo'er?" Guan Ping has always been happy, usually Wang Bo is rarely like this, "Wang Po sells melons, sells herself and boasts", but today I don't know what medicine I took wrong, when I talked about my childhood, I praised myself as rare in the sky, unparalleled in the ground, like talking about cross talk, which makes people feel like they are joking when they hear it.

"Pingping, you've been here for so many months, you shouldn't have seen much cooking, right?" Wang Bo said to Guan Ping.

"Hmm!" Guan Ping nodded. Usually everyone eats in the rice noodle shop, and occasionally when they don't eat in the rice noodle shop, it is Wang Bo's mother Zeng Fanyu who makes a table of dishes at home, and she has never seen Wang Bo go to the kitchen anyway.

"Today at noon, I'm going to be the chef. You two will give me a hand. I'll let you see what it means to be 'born to know, and what it means to be self-taught!'" Wang Bo raised his neck and said, "Unstoppable".

"Huh. Okay, then Sister Mei and I will wait and see!" Guan Ping smiled and said.

The two thought that Wang Bo was still joking, but when it was time to cook at noon, Wang Bo insisted on being a chef and asked the two daughters to give him a hand. The two girls had no choice but to obey the order.

At noon, Wang Bo made a total of four dishes and a soup. A mapo tofu. A boiled pork slice, a braised fat sausage, a farmhouse stir-fried pork and a pea tip egg drop soup. It was only when Wang Bo made the first dish mapo tofu. The two women who were doing chores on the side were shocked:

The two had never seen mapo tofu so exquisite, so complicated in procedure, and so many ingredients. Let's not talk about anything else, just the seasoning. Guan Ping roughly counted. It involves chili, Sichuan pepper, bean paste, soy sauce, cooking wine, ginger, green onion, garlic. Tempeh, essence of chicken. Monosodium glutamate, 12 powders, not even garlic sprouts, beef these two flavor auxiliary materials.

As for the process and process of production, it surprised the two women and opened their eyes. There are many processes and methods that the two of them have never heard of before. For example, before the tofu is officially put into the pot, Wang Bo first cut it into pieces and blanched it with boiling water, which he said was to remove the smell of beans. In addition to the two main materials and auxiliary materials of tofu and garlic sprouts, mapo tofu also specially fried a small spoonful of minced beef to enhance the taste, in Wang Bo's words, mapo tofu is authentic or not, delicious or not, whether there is a spoonful of fried minced beef, it is too critical.

Both Guan Ping and Jiang Mei are children of poor families. The children of the poor were in charge of the family early, and when the two of them were very young, they learned to do all kinds of work, cooking, and stir-frying. However, whether it is the two of them stir-frying at home or watching others stir-fry, the two have never seen someone as particular and "professional" as Wang Bo. After just observing the production of the first "mapo tofu", and before they even tasted the taste, the two of them completely believed Wang Bo's "self-selling and boasting" in front of him - this guy who has never cooked, just tried his knife and showed his hand, and completely compared them to those who often soak in the kitchen.

Could it be that this guy is really like what he just said, a person who has been enlightened and empowered by Guanyin Bodhisattva?

"Come on, come on, try it! Try it! It's the first time in my life that I've been cooking like today, I've only read books before, and I only have written theoretical knowledge, and I can't be 100% sure if it's good or not, so you two can try it first. Wang Bo said as he picked up a chopstick of tender tofu and stuffed it into Guan Ping's mouth, and then gave the chopsticks to Jiang Mei.

"It's delicious!This is the best tofu I've ever eaten in my life!" Guan Ping praised as she licked her lips.

"Numb, spicy, fresh, fragrant! It's really delicious, Bo'er!" Jiang Mei also complimented, looking at Wang Bo's eyes full of surprise and admiration, except for "born to know" as he said, she really couldn't imagine how he did it.

The next three dishes almost repeated the previous scene of "mapo tofu", which made Guan Ping and Jiang Mei surprised, admired, and then admired. After each dish, Wang Bo would put a pair of chopsticks between his parents and his children to let the two beauties around him, one big and one small, taste it, and then look at the expressions of surprise, admiration, and then admiration on their faces, he himself felt satisfied and had a sense of achievement.

Four dishes and one soup, this meal at noon is hearty and delicious, plus a glass of beer poured by Wang Bo for the two daughters, whether it is Guan Ping and Jiang Mei, they are all feasting, sweating profusely, and their mouths are full of oil. Wang Bo is the same, in addition to the food is really good, the beauty of the second daughter in front of him also makes him very "delicious", which adds a bit of appetite to him.

He couldn't help but think of himself in his previous life. Picky-mouthed, he searched for information on the Internet and then experimented as an adult, and several of his favorite dishes have been made by him perfectly, impeccable, but the reality that his wife is often not at home makes him work hard to get a full table of meals, and the delicacy of a table is often not shared.

After lunch, in the afternoon, the three of them still did not go out, still stayed in the living room, continued to watch TV, and continued to chat.

Unlike most of the topics in the morning chat, which focused on the three of them when they were young, the topics in the afternoon were much broader, such as the current development of the rice noodle shop, the Internet café, and Wang Bo's study. Of course, when talking about the rice noodle shop, Wang Bo and Guan Ping didn't ask about the "Sister Jiang Rice Noodles" that had been closed, but Jiang Mei herself said a lot about the situation of "Sister Jiang Rice Noodles", how bleak the business was, and the situation was getting worse, no matter how she, Zhang Xiaojun, and Xie Decui tried their best to save the fate of the rice noodle shop, and Guan Ping and Wang Bo sighed in their hearts.

After five o'clock in the afternoon, Guan Ping saw Wang Bo at home, so she told Wang Bo that she would go out first, which would take about an hour. Wang Bo knew that Guan Ping, the little accountant, was going to two rice noodle shops and Internet cafes to settle the bill, so he nodded and asked her to go out with confidence and go early and return early.

As soon as Guan Ping left, Jiang Mei looked at Wang Bo and said to him, "Bo'er, thank you and Pingping for taking leave to accompany me today." I don't even know what to say. I'm fine. Tomorrow, I'll go out and look for a job. Do whatever you have to do, and don't worry about me. I'm really fine. ”

As soon as Jiang Mei said this, Wang Bo stood up, came to the place where Guan Ping was not long ago, that is, sat down next to Jiang Mei, and gently hugged the woman in his arms. Jiang Mei's body stiffened, thinking that Guan Ping had already gone out and would not come back for a while, her body softened and she was held by Wang Bo. Wang Bo held Jiang Mei in one hand and the woman's hand in the other, kissed Jiang Mei's black hair with his mouth, and said softly:

Xie is a kind of politeness, and it is often talked about by outsiders and people who are not very familiar with it. You've thanked me once last night, and thank you again today, don't you take me to heart as your own?"

"I-" Jiang Mei looked up, looked at Wang Bo, and wanted to refute, but was blocked by Wang Bo with his mouth, and the two quickly kissed, falling into a love affair where opposites attract, and so on for a few minutes, until Wang Bo felt his impulse and the emotion/movement of the woman in his arms, he took the initiative to stop. Although Guan Ping went out, if something happened halfway back and found out that the two of them were tired, Jiang Mei would certainly be quite embarrassed, and it would also be an emotional injury to Guan Ping. If possible, Wang Bo is unwilling to hurt Guan Ping in the slightest. Therefore, although he is impulsive now, in view of the relationship between time and place, Wang Bo has been restrained.

"Don't say it! I know everything you think in your heart, I understand everything. I know your concerns. But now that we are both like this, we have this most intimate relationship, just like I said to you last night, no matter what happens in the future, whether I get married or not, whether you are willing to marry or not, these are things for the future. But now, at the moment, I see you as if you were my woman.

"So, if you go out to find a job or anything like that, you don't have to mention it again. Let's rest for a few days. When the mood improves, I will let you go to work in Guanghan's newly opened rice noodle shop. Don't worry over there, except for Tian Xin, Li Cui and Xie Ying, I won't send anyone else. I will also greet the three of them, and I will never let the three of them talk nonsense in front of you. You can stay there in peace.

Guanghan Dian Tian Xin will be the store manager for a period of time, but at most it will be about a month, and then she will go to other counties and cities to develop markets. According to my goal for this year, I will open three rice noodle shops within this year. After Tian Xin leaves, you can take over her shift. The salary and treatment will be implemented according to the treatment of the store manager...... Wang Bo hugged Jiang Mei and slowly made her arrangements for Jiang Mei one by one.
