Chapter 6 We Are Different
Chen Kai saw that the venue security guard of the food street was shouting at a pair of beggars at the entrance of the street.
"Say you! It's business at noon, don't crowd to the guests to ask for money, go outside. ”
The old beggars were wrinkled and about seventy years old, carrying a shriveled sack on their backs and holding a wooden stick as a cane.
The little beggar was a little girl, about seven or eight years old, and although she was very thin, her eyes were bright, her face was full of curiosity, and she dragged the old beggar with her little hands and asked what she wanted.
Hearing the security guard's reprimand, the old beggar shook his head at the little beggar, and without saying much, the old and the young walked away.
Chen Kai felt a little emotionally in his heart, the food street has a large flow of people, and there are indeed many scavengers and wanderers begging at the street during this time.
Being able to support oneself and have money to spare every day is already very happy.
When he came to his stall, Chen Kai first busily set up the tables, chairs and benches, and then moved his shoulders and walked into the utility kiosk.
The pot and stove equipment and liquefied gas tank were all lifted out, the countertop was erected, and a basin of water was connected.
I was about to untie the bag of green peppers and take them out for cleaning.
"Green pepper shredded pork rice bowl! There are meat and vegetarian dishes, 10 yuan a piece, cheap and delicious!" A sharp shout sounded in Chen Kai's ears.
Chen Kai was stunned and turned his head to look.
Hu Yuqin next to him shouted with a smile on his face, and Huang Ping stood aside and washed the green peppers in the vegetable pot.
Chen Kaile put down the bag, walked to Hu Yuqin, and asked with some surprise: "Sister Hu, aren't you cooking fried rice today?"
Hu Yuqin only stared at the flow of people in front of him, didn't look back, and laughed:
"Fried rice oil is too big, there is always something to eat, there is meat and vegetables to be nutritious, our Lao Huang used to be the best at cooking stir-fried vegetables. ”
"Then why did you suddenly remember to make shredded pork with green peppers?" Chen Kai quipped.
"Recently, there are a lot of people who love to eat green peppers, and unlike you young people, we are very flexible in doing business, and we will do whatever customers want to eat, and we will not be limited to a certain dish. ”
Looking at Hu Yuqin's appearance of being nine out of ten, Chen Kai felt very interesting.
"Okay, Sister Hu, it's about to open, I'm busy. ”
"If we have too many guests and don't have enough green peppers, you can give us a little even." Hu Yuqin turned her head at this time and said with a smile on her face.
"Okay, if I have anything left. Chen Kai paused, a little crying and laughing.
Jingle Bell ...... When it was time for school, Chen Kai came a little late, and after the materials were ready, he threw off his arms and fried the first pot of shredded pork with green peppers.
"Boss! I'm still eating rice bowls today!" a young female voice came.
Chen Kai turned his head while flipping the spoon, and it turned out to be Yuan Yuan and Xiaoying, female students from Ninggang Middle School, and boy Xiaowei came over with two male classmates.
Smiling happily, Chen Kai hurriedly greeted: "It's better for you to cheer, sit down and wait for a while, the first pot will come out soon." ”
At this time, Hu Yuqin shouted "just right" next to him: "Green pepper shredded pork rice bowl! It's cheap and delicious!"
Yuan Yuan covered his mouth and laughed out loud: "Boss, isn't the fried rice next door cooking?
Chen Kai shrugged his shoulders, a little helpless: "Maybe green peppers have become cheaper recently." ”
Keep in your hands, stir-fry on high heat, and the spoon will fly.
Reduce the juice and turn off the heat.
"Okay, it's time to cook!"
One pot is exactly five servings, Chen Kai put the rice on a plate, and poured the fragrant shredded green pepper meat on top of the rice.
The green peppers are tender and green, the shredded meat is fragrant, and the steaming rice bowl is mouth-watering.
Several students were a little impatient, so they stepped forward to pick up the rice bowl, picked up the small spoon, and ate it on the small table with relish.
Chen Kai looked to the side, and there were several students sitting on Hu Yuqin's stall, eating green pepper and shredded pork bowl.
A group of students were gathering from the corner of the street.
"Which one, which one?" do you think the rice bowl is delicious?"
"That's it, next to the fried rice...... Hey, there's no fried rice seller. ”
"It's so hot, I'm hungry, I want to finish eating and go back, at least there is an electric fan in the classroom." ”
"Let's try any of them first, and we have classes in the afternoon. ”
"The green pepper shredded pork rice bowl is delicious and cheap, come on, young man sit here!"
Hu Yuqin saw the students rushing over, waving and shouting vigorously, and some students looked at the two stalls and sat down in Hu Yuqin's dining area with some confusion.
Hu Yuqin turned his head to meet Chen Kai's gaze, his face was slightly proud, Chen Kai shook his head, looked at the diner in front of him, and stopped his hand for the time being.
Chen Kai thought for a while, turned around and went into the pavilion and took out a black pocket, and as soon as the rope was untied, a dark luster flashed.
A refreshing aroma of vegetables hits the face, refreshing and sweet.
Chen Kai smiled and took out three long eggplants, rinsed them under the water pipe, washed them, and put them on the board for later use.
Halfway through the boy Xiaowei's rice bowl, he saw the eggplant on Chen Kai's board, licked his lips, and asked with some doubts:
"Boss, do you have any new dishes for taking out the eggplant?"
Chen Kai smiled mysteriously: "You'll know later." ”
At noon in summer, the sun is like fire, and the food street is lined with stoves, and the temperature is even higher.
The washed eggplant is stained with dew and reflects a deep purple glow against the sun.
Chen Kai used the tip of a knife to cut off the eggplant pedicle, peeled it first, then cut it into eggplant segments of about 6 cm, and finally cut it into eggplant strips, and put them in a small vegetable basket for later use.
The pork was placed aside, Chen Kai picked up a strip, cut off a fat and thin piece and put it on the cutting board.
A slice of pork is shredded, flattened, minced and foamed.
The kitchen knife flew, the silver light flashed, the wrist was up and down, the cutting was fast, and the blade hit the cutting board with a clangling sound.
Cut the minced meat, place it in a bowl and sprinkle it with cooking wine, a little starch and sugar to marinate.
Chen Kai moved his wrist, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and picked up the accessories next to him.
Finely chop the ginger, mince the green onion, chop the dried chili pepper into small shreds, and crush a raw garlic with the back of a knife into a puree.
Put the accessories aside, set the pot, light the fire, and pour the oil!
Zizizi......
The oil quickly heated, Chen Kai took out the eggplant strips and put them into the pot along the edge of the pot.
Taking out a long chopstick and turning it in the pot, Chen Kai kept an eye on the time, and the eggplant strips gradually became slightly golden under the frying.
Chen Kai hurriedly took out the eggplant with a colander and drained the oil into a bowl.
Pour out the excess hot oil in the pot, put in a handful of minced meat foam, and turn the spoon constantly to stir-fry the meat foam until it gradually dries.
Sprinkle in chopped green onions, garlic, minced ginger and shredded pepper and stir-fry with the meat.
The fragrance gradually spread, and Xiao Wei and Yuan Yuan, who were sitting in front of the stall, couldn't help but sniffle.
Order some soy sauce, pour some hot water, and put the fried eggplant into the pot!
The spoon drew concentric circles in the pot, and Chen Kai seized the opportunity to hook in the sauce.
Wow...... The water vapor gradually steames, and the soft and sweet eggplant strips and the fragrant meat foam shine with an alluring golden light under the fusion of oil colors.
Simmer for 3 minutes, reduce the juice, turn off the heat, and remove from the heat!
Chen Kai was very excited and looking forward to it, and wiped his hands with a towel.
A tall boy came to the booth and sniffed deeply.
"Boss, what's the flavor of your rice bowl?"
Chen Kai put down the towel and said with a smile: "You may have to wait for the shredded pork with green peppers, this pot has just been fried, try it, it's also 10 yuan." ”
"What does it smell like? ”
The corners of Chen Kai's mouth raised: "Exclusive secret, Chen Ji Meat Foam Eggplant Rice Bowl!"
