Chapter Seventy-Three: Vinegar
In the evening, Chen Kai ended the day's business, said hello to Ding Yuan, and left the store after cleaning up.
After getting off work early today, Chen Kai rode to Ninggang Hospital first.
On the fifth floor of the inpatient department, in the rehabilitation ward of the neurology department, Chen Kai sat in front of the bed, and his father Chen Hai was half-lying on the bed.
Chen Kai was chatting with his father while peeling a kiwi fruit for his father.
"Dad, today I just checked the income of the store this month, the income is not bad, and I have already paid the hospitalization fee and nursing fee for the next two months at the hospital.
You can recuperate here with peace of mind, do your daily rehabilitation training, and strive to get better as soon as possible. ”
Chen Hai leaned his head on the two pillows, looked at his son, sighed softly, and said slowly: "Others, it's fine, it's just boring." ”
Chen Kai thought for a while: "It's really a bit boring to be so depressed, I'll go back and buy a wheelchair, talk to the nurse, and push you around outside when it's cool every day." ”
After speaking, Chen Kai handed the peeled kiwifruit in his hand to his father, and Chen Kai opened his mouth lightly and ate the fruit in small bites.
"Dad, the fast food restaurant has just opened in the past few months, and there is only one colleague to help, and I really can't leave during the day.
But I promise that when the business in the store is better in about three months, I will ask another person to help, and then I will make time to come and see you every day. ”
When Chen Hai heard his son say this, there was a relieved smile in his eyes, he first nodded lightly, then shook his head gently, and said slowly: "No, every day, if you should be busy, you will be busy." ”
Chen Kai smiled slightly, and then fed his father the fruit.
……
Returning to the rental house from the hospital, Chen Kai felt very uncomfortable with sweat and stickiness, threw his clothes into the washing machine, and went to the bathroom to take a hot shower.
"Ah...... It's cool. ”
After taking a shower, feeling completely transparent, Chen Kai moved the floor fan to the side of the bed and plugged it in.
He was half lying on the bed relaxed, with a pillow behind his waist, his head resting on the back of his hand, and the fan shaking his head sent a cool breeze, Chen Kai still recalled the scene of Zhang Kun's father and son during the day from time to time.
Call...... Chen Kai took a deep breath and picked up his phone.
Swiped the screen and saw the unread message at the top.
"Dear users, congratulations on your success in doing good deeds, obtaining 20 good karma points and 20 good karma point balance. ”
Chen Kai was also slightly surprised in his heart.
Twenty points of good karma is really not a small amount.
Chen Kai thought for a moment and opened one of his mobile phone notes.
The note recorded the prices of various fairy seasonings that Liu Zhi and himself said at that time, and Chen Kai wrote down all the important ones.
The note reads:
fairy vinegar, fairy soy sauce and fairy chicken essence, 10 good karma points two catties;
fairy bean paste, 10 good fate points a catty;
Fairy dried pepper and fairy green pepper are 10 good karma points;
Fairy cinnamon, fairy material, and fairy star are temporarily out of stock.
With twenty good karma points all of a sudden, Chen Kai carefully calculated that most of the fairy soy sauce had been used, and this seasoning was more important, so he must buy two catties.
There are still 10 points of good karma left......
Chen Kai blinked, looked at the ceiling, and carefully calculated it in his mind.
Forget it, it's time to buy vinegar.
Chen Kai made a decision in his heart, after all, from the perspective of cooking, vinegar is also the most used spices, which can be used in many places to relieve fishiness, remove fat, reduce spiciness, and add fragrance.
Chen Kai cleared his throat, swiped his thumb, and dialed Xianding Liu Zhi's phone.
Doodoo ......
"Hey, hello Immortal Chief!" Liu Zhi was upgraded to an intermediate immortal in the Heavenly Court Food God Workshop Vegetable Garden last time because of Liu Kai, so he was very enthusiastic about Chen Kai.
"That, Liu Zhi, the price of the spice you said last time hasn't changed much. ”
"No change, Immortal Chief, are you going to buy spices today?"
Chen Kai said slowly: "Yes, give me two catties of soy sauce, and then give me two catties of vinegar." ”
"Okay Immortal Chief, I'll ship it to you right away. ”
Hanging up the phone, Chen Kai waited for a while.
Ding Dong, the text message deducting the good karma points came, and now the balance of my good karma points has become zero again.
Huh? Why haven't you heard the sound of a heavy object falling on the ground?
Chen Kai hurriedly got up from the bed and looked at the ground.
There's something!
Two black ceramic jars sit quietly on the floor.
Seeing things, Chen Kai finally put his mind at ease.
The delivery system of this fairy world is quite humane, and it is estimated that it is afraid that the ceramic jar will be broken if it falls directly, so it falls quietly to the ground.
Chen Kai turned on the light in the living room and stepped forward to check.
The two jars didn't look like there was any difference, they were all tightly sealed, and no taste leaked out, and Chen Kai couldn't tell which was soy sauce and which was vinegar.
Let's start with the jar on the left, Chen Kai carefully untied the rope buckle at the mouth of the altar, and then lifted the seal up little by little, revealing a little gap.
Hmmm!
An incomparably rich salty and umami smell escaped from the crack in the mouth of the altar, Chen Kai couldn't help but close his eyes, sniffed deeply, and felt a mellow smell right next to his nose.
The altar on the left is determined, and the altar on the right is fairy vinegar.
The curiosity in Chen Kai's heart soared, he rubbed his fingers, and slowly uncovered a gap in the lid of the jar on the right.
Hmmm, sweetness, no, it's sour.
Chen Kai was very surprised in his heart, because as the jar opened, a wisp of unique flavor first sweet and then sour wafted out from the jar, gently stimulating Chen Kai's olfactory cells.
If you smell the general high-grade brewed vinegar suddenly, the human nasal mucosa will have a little rejection, and it will be a stirring from the nose to the brain.
But the taste of this jar of fairy vinegar seems to naturally blend into the nasal cavity, and a hint of sweetness leads to a mellow sourness, rich and pure, which makes people not feel repulsed at all.
Uncover all the jar covers, and Chen Kai took a look.
"What a beautiful color!" Chen Kai couldn't help but sigh.
The fairy vinegar in front of him, under the illumination of the light, presents a unique color, somewhat similar to rice vinegar.
This color is a bit like tea red, but it is cleaner than tea red, a bit like crimson, but it is more transparent than crimson.
The clear reddish vinegar color has no impurities and evenly reflects the reflection of the ceiling.
Chen Kai couldn't help but look left and right, and then sniffed it over and over again, and couldn't help but sigh his happiness in his heart.
Such a good vinegar, just smelling it for a while, makes people feel mouthful and appetite.
Shaking his head helplessly, Chen Kai was afraid that he would become hungry if he smelled it for a while, so he quickly sealed the fairy vinegar and fairy soy sauce, adjusted it, and lay quietly on the bed blowing the fan.
Lying on the bed, Chen Kai couldn't help but start thinking about the newly obtained fairy vinegar that could be used to make those dishes, and he continued to simulate it in his mind.
Closing his eyes, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, and slowly, Chen Kai fell asleep.
Jingle Bell ......
Chen Kai shuddered suddenly, closed his eyes, groped around the bed with his right hand, and finally grabbed the phone and swiped it along the screen.
The alarm clock will go off again in 10 minutes.
Chen Kai was too lazy to get up, but after being woken up, it was difficult to feel sleepy.
After struggling slightly, Chen Kai sat up suddenly, patted his face and strengthened his spirit, took two deep breaths, and went to the bathroom to wash.
After washing and tidying up, Chen Kai filled a few bottles of fairy vinegar and a few bottles of fairy soy sauce with empty bottles, carefully packed them and carried them downstairs, pedaled his small tricycle, and set off leisurely.
With a little coolness in the morning wind, Chen Kai was blown by the wind and was completely awake.
Slowly riding to the gate of the Four Seasons Community, Chen Kai suddenly found that there was a van parked at the door of Duoduoke, and there were four or five people carrying equipment and boxes arranged next to them.
Chen Kai thought to himself: What kind of plane are you doing?
