Chapter 3 The Years of Burning Passion

Early the next morning, when the genius was bright, Liu Mang got up and prepared to start experimenting with the brine recipe he got from the kitchen god space last night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But before that, he's going to get a helper.

"Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu! Jianghu emergency!" Liu Mang dialed a phone call.

"Ahh

Liu Mang hung up the phone, recalled the brine recipe, and slowly frowned.

Because this brine recipe uses more than 30 kinds of medicinal materials and spices, in addition to some common cloves, star anise, angelica, and Zikou, the names of some medicinal materials are the first time he has heard of them, and it seems that he has to go to the pharmacy to ask clearly.

Liu Mang touched his pocket and took out all the money in it, which was square and square, and he remembered that yesterday's change was given to the homeless man.

"Mom, give me some money, I'll go buy something. "This amount of money is definitely not enough to buy medicinal herbs and spices, there is no way, Liu Mang can only speak to his mother hard.

"Oh, what are you going to buy?"

"I want to partner with Xiao Wu to do some small business, and I want to buy some materials. ”

"Do business? What kind of business?"

"Well, I want to set up a brine stall for the time being, I figured out a recipe yesterday, and I want to go to the pharmacy today to buy some medicinal herbs and try it. ”

"Son, this is a good thing, it's time to go out and practice, don't stay at home all day and cut potatoes and turnips! Mom supports you!" Liu Mang's mother smiled, and hurriedly took out five hundred-yuan bills with oil flowers from her pocket and handed them to him.

"Is it enough? not enough for me to go to the bank to withdraw it from you, the business is not bad during this time, and my mother has saved a little money. ”

"Enough, enough. Liu Mang took the banknote with his mother's body temperature, and his eyes were moist.

It was not easy for his mother to earn some money, so she had to get up at four o'clock every day to start preparing the ingredients for the morning. His father's health is not good, so he can't help at all, so he can only help wash the dishes in the back kitchen every day.

In the past three years, in order to obtain the title of the god of cooking, Liu Mang has practiced like a madman as soon as he opened his eyes, and he has never taken care of his breakfast shop at all.

"My son is not filial! don't worry, Mom. I've got this kitchen space, and I'm sure I'm going to soar to the sky! Liu Mang secretly cheered himself up in his heart.

Taking the money given to him by his mother, Liu Mang stepped on his bicycle that sounded everywhere except for the bell, and came to the medicinal herb store all the way.

Luckily for him, these herbs were available in pharmacies, and the remaining spices were successfully bought at the bazaar.

"What's the best thing to do?" Liu Mang was in trouble.

After calculating the money in hand, in addition to buying medicinal materials, there are more than 400 yuan left. I simply bought more than 30 catties of chicken wings and some pork bones, plum meat, chicken bones and the like needed for brine.

After buying, Liu Mang rode his bicycle back, and before he arrived at the door of the store, he saw a big man squatting at the door of the store. He has a small flat hair and wears a gray suit. With his left hand on his cheek and a newspaper in his right hand, his eyes were blazing, and the women in the past let him stare at him quickly.

If it weren't for the fat on his body that was a bit of an eyesore, he would be a Rodin "The Thinker", who would it be if it wasn't Xiao Wu?

The friendship between Liu Mang and Wuyan can be said to be long-lasting, and it can even be traced back to the end of wearing open crotch pants when he was a child, exposing his little jj, playing with mud, and bullying little girls.

The little five are named Li Shusheng and nicknamed Five Eyes. In fact, the original nickname should have been Four Eyes. Because this guy was born short-sighted, it is related to wearing a pair of glasses when he pees, as for why he was called five-eyed later, this has a lot to do with Liu Mang.

Liu Mang still vaguely remembers that it was a sunny afternoon many years ago, when he and Siyan were still very young. is so young that his blood is boiling, and he has to bully his junior classmates and fight with his senior classmates to vent.

At that time, he was only 12 years old, and his eyes were already a head taller than those of the same age, and his fat body trembled, which made some of his junior classmates shudder. This product's trick is to first knock people to the ground, first use his body weight to give people a heavy blow, and then hold others on the ground to do a tumbling motion. Those who were recruited all wailed and cried bitterly, which was very deterrent.

That afternoon, when Liu Mang and Siyan broke down peace talks with a group of senior students over the issue of collecting protection money, they decided to use force to settle the matter. With his fierce physique and amazing moves, Four-Eyes has become the rightful number one "seeded player".

I saw this guy leap a tiger, rushed forward, hugged the other party to take the lead of a short man, a bull roar in his throat, and put the other party on the ground at once, and was about to perform his unique skills when tragedy happened.

A sudden brick fell from the sky and slammed it on the door of the four eyes' heads, and the tears and blood of the four eyes splashed everywhere with the cracked lenses, just like their passionate youth.

At that time, everyone was frightened, and after a short silence, a group of people dispersed, leaving only Liu Mang and Four Eyes, who were also scared stupidly.

The incident was eventually learned by the school authorities, and the parents were informed by those involved. Liu Mang's father even dragged him home, and instead of using the usual feather duster, he pulled out the wide cowhide belt around his waist and beat Liu Mang hard.

The ruthlessness of his attack made Liu Mang feel as if he had returned to Sister Jiang's era, and he had huge doubts about his own life experience: Could it be that I am not the biological son of this man?

But Liu Mang felt that he was not wronged, and was even glad that he was beaten by his old man, otherwise he would make it difficult for him to sleep and eat with the guilt in his heart. Because the initiator of that brick is none other than himself.

In fact, Liu Mang's original intention was to smash the brick next to Siyan to deter the opponent who followed closely, but he forgot that he had neither breakfast nor lunch, and all the food money he gave him was contributed to the street game hall.

Liu Mang, who didn't eat, inevitably had a little weakness in his hands, and when he was empty, his head was a little off, and after he was on the spot, a wrong brick was at the wrong time, and the wrong place fell on Siyan's forehead.

The final result of the bloody case caused by a brick was that Siyan lay in the hospital for three days, and Liu Mang was also beaten by his Lao Tzu and lay at home for two days.

The only gain is that the scar left on the forehead after the four eyes are healed is in the shape of a crescent, similar to the god Erlang. After wearing glasses, the four eyes are upgraded to five eyes. The five eyes and his fat body are even more hideous, and for a while, they are the king and hegemon in the third middle school they are studying, and no one dares to provoke them.

"Boss, boss!" As soon as he saw Liu Mang, he tore out his duck and shouted ghosts, provoking pedestrians on the road to look sideways.

"It's fast!" Liu Mang walked over and couldn't help but slap his fleshy head.

"I watched your live TV yesterday, and I could smell it through the screen!

"Wait for you to eat, let's talk about serious things first!" Liu Mang pulled him to squat on the steps in front of the store.

"Little Wu, I don't want to go on like this, I want to do something, not for myself, but also for my parents. ”

"Really, that's great! It just so happens that I have a friend who owns a restaurant at home, and I'll introduce you there! Just rely on your cooking skills, isn't it Bangbangbang? In less than a month, I guarantee that the chef will have to roll up the cover and roll out of the house!"

"Where do you want to go? How much money can you earn by working for others? 10,000 or 20,000 a month? When will this be earned before you can break that Luo Dao?"

"Ah, Boss, so you haven't given up yet. Listen to the advice of my buddy, so forget it. During this time, you asked my friend on the road to check the information related to Luo Badao, do you know what else I have found? This person is not simple, he is very powerful, and he has connections with some underworld gangs in Hong Kong and Taiwan. ”

"No! Xiao Wu, you know my character, it's not too late for a man to take revenge for ten years! One day, I want this person to offer my family's restaurant both hands, and then bend down respectfully in front of me and say sorry! Otherwise, this matter will not be over!"

"Alright, well, what are we going to do now? Let's say first, I'm a poor jingle now, and I have nothing but my flesh now. ”

"I understand, I figured out a brine recipe yesterday, let's try it today, if the effect is good, tomorrow we will get a cart to sell it at Polytechnic University, and earn some start-up capital first." ”

"Hey, I like this job, what are you going to do?" As soon as he heard that there was food, Five Eyes immediately became excited, and the two bulb eyes glowed like a wolf green behind the lenses.

"You go and raise the coal stove, and then wash the stainless steel bucket for me, and I'll go to the room to mix the medicinal herbs." Liu Mang commanded.

"Gotcha!" Five-Eyed Ass, as he asked, went about his job.

Liu Mang walked to his attic, found a piece of gauze, wrapped all the medicinal herbs and spices, and then entered the space and scooped out a large bucket of water from the spring water inside with a tin bucket.

The recipe indicates that in addition to the herbs and spices, there is also a point to add the spring water in the space.

In general, the recipe of brine is a secret to the chef, and everyone has their own unique secret method.

The longer the brine is used, the better, and some brine shops even use the brine for decades, relying on daily heating, and adding new herbs and spices every once in a while to maintain its flavor.

This kind of brine is called old brine, and sometimes a braised meat shop relies on this old brine to support the sign. Liu Mang didn't have enough time, he could only hope that this recipe and the spring water in the space would surprise him.

Soon, the coal stove made the five eyes rise, and all kinds of base materials and spice packets were mixed with the spring water in the space to boil on the coal stove.

"After the brine boils, turn the heat to low and boil slowly, at least four to five hours before the chicken wings are laid, remember to change the coal, don't let the fire go out. I went upstairs to practice cooking. ”

"So long?" the five eyes listened, and their faces were bitter.

"Why? Don't you want to eat my exclusive secret chicken wings? If you don't want to, you can go now, I'll watch for myself. Liu Mang deliberately straightened his face.

"Hehe, how can you? Just kidding! Don't worry, boss. I will not leave an inch, and I will stick to the earth until the sky is desolate. Five-eyed smiled and picked up a puff fan and fanned the coal stove eyes, with a pious face.

Liu Mang nodded, walked up to the attic, and practiced the basic skills of cooking again.
