At noon, Chen Ji's braised crucian carp was very popular, and Chen Kai and Li Feifei were also busy enough.

Chen Kai found a small problem, he was obviously not prepared for the traffic attracted by the braised crucian carp, and there were not a few live crucian carp left that he bought in the morning.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Kai and Li Feifei said hello, and hurriedly stepped on his small three-wheeler and went to the fish market to buy dozens of fresh crucian carp for later use.

After riding back to Heli Fast Food, Chen Kai and Li Feifei first unloaded the fish into the kitchen, and glanced at the time on the phone, it was almost four o'clock.

The cooking time of meat dishes, especially braised crucian carp, is relatively long, and in order to make the crucian carp taste the best, Chen Kai buys live fish and transports it back to his store to kill it.

In this case, it will take a lot of time just to slaughter and clean the fish, and now the time is about an hour and a half before the dinner in the evening, Chen Kai decided to prepare early.

After Li Feifei helped unload the fish, she stood aside and hesitated.

"Xiaofei, what are you doing in a daze? I'm going to kill the fish first, while there is still some time before the evening, you should go home and sleep for an hour, I'm busy enough at noon today." ”

Li Feifei leaned against the kitchen door, looking at the crucian carp swimming in the bucket, and her tone was very uncertain:

"Boss, you kill so many fish by yourself, why don't I stay and help you?" Even if you don't dare to slaughter the fish, you can wash the fish. ”

Chen Kai looked at Li Feifei and laughed: "Go back, I'm used to doing rough work, it's no problem to be alone, this kind of bloody scene is not suitable for girls, thank you." ”

Li Feifei was helpless, so she could only nod and leave.

Chen Kai looked at the several buckets in front of him and sighed with emotion: If so many people come every day, he will become an aquarium here.

Don't dare to delay at all, Chen Kai is busy slaughtering fish, washing fish, and cleaning internal organs, as a chef with a professional background, Chen Kai's skills in handling ingredients are still very good.

After slaughtering and cleaning up more than 20 fresh crucian carp, Chen Kai picked up the kitchen knife and began to change the knife edge on the crucian carp one by one.

A thin layer of dry starch is evenly pounced, ignited the pot, slides the pot first, and then adds an appropriate amount of cold oil, when it is hot, Chen Kai carries a crucian carp and goes into the pot.

The oil splashed everywhere, and the plump crucian carp gradually became golden on both sides under Chen Kai's operation, and the fragrance of the grease was also fried, which smelled mouthwatering.

In this way, Chen Kai concocted more than a dozen crucian carp and fried them one by one, and it didn't take long for the big colander next to him to be full of golden, fragrant fried fish.

After the fish was processed, Chen Kai picked up the kitchen knife, all the accessories were ready, lit the cauldron, and Chen Kai began to cook the fish like a stream.

Under the precise and efficient operation, Chen Kai quickly cooked a pot of Chen Ji braised crucian carp full of fragrant aroma, and there was a second pot on the stove next to it.

"Boss, you're still cooking. ”

Chen Kai was about to start the pot, when he suddenly saw Li Feifei poking his head into the kitchen.

"Why don't you take a break?"

Li Feifei smiled: "I can't sleep, and besides, it's not too early to come, and there are guests queuing outside." ”

"What?" Chen Kai was startled, it was not yet five o'clock.

I quickly wiped my hands and walked to the kitchen door to see that there were already four or five diners sitting at the table, blowing fans and chatting.

One of the guests saw Chen Kai and shouted excitedly, "Boss, is the crucian carp cooked?"

Chen Kai smiled: "It's going to be out of the pot right away, it's just right!"

Unexpectedly, before five o'clock, the foodies began to be impatient, Chen Kai didn't say much, turned around and went into the kitchen, and brought out a pot of braised crucian carp.

As soon as the braised crucian carp was served, the guests on Heli's side began to flock to it.

The feast of crucian carp began.

With the increasing number of diners, Chen Kai obviously felt that the enthusiasm of diners in the evening was much higher than at noon.

After all, the average person eats at dinner when the mood is the most relaxed, and it is easier to enjoy the food purely.

Li Feifei went home and changed into an orange casual T-shirt, and coiled her hair into a ball, and looked like a student with large-rimmed glasses, which became a beautiful scenery in the store.

The atmosphere in Heli fast food is very lively, nine out of ten customers come to eat braised crucian carp, and as the gourmets start eating, the refreshing salty and fragrant fish fat flavor in the restaurant gathers stronger and stronger.

Half an hour later, the line cleared the confines of the glass gates;

An hour later, it was the peak hour of eating at more than six o'clock, and the team at the door of Heli fast food had already circled around the gate in a hollow shape.

Chen Kai's face was full of sweat, and when he walked outside the door to clean up the kitchen waste, he took a look at the situation of Duoduo next door.

Really.

It's the most crowded time for dinner, and the situation next door looks similar to noon, with a queue of diners, but it's still mostly confined indoors.

And if you look closely, you will find that there are not as many customers crowded at the window as there are orders at noon.

Chen Kai shook his head, he didn't have time to care about the situation next door for the time being, and he hurriedly returned to the house.

The sun was setting, and before I knew it, the sky was getting darker, and the lights of Heli fast food were turned on, and the hall was brighter and more market-like.

I've been busy for more than two hours, and the current line length has finally reached the inside of the gate.

Just thinking about it, I saw Ding Yuan approaching the store with a shocked face, bypassing the line and coming to the insulation table.

"Chen Kai, why are there so many people queuing up today? What are you selling?"

Chen Kai pointed to the insulation table: "Today's main dish, Chen Ji braised crucian carp, I'll leave one for you later." ”

Ding Yuan teased: "Only one is left, look at your way of slamming the door." ”

The diners in the queue next to him stopped working, and one of the guests who was at the back of the queue shouted anxiously: "Boss!

Chen Kai smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone present has something to eat tonight." ”

Ding Yuan saw that Chen Kai was indeed busy, so he didn't bother, said hello to Chen Kai, carried the barbecue grill leaning against the wall by himself, and went outside to set up his own tables and chairs.

After more than half an hour, Chen Kai packed a braised crucian carp for the last guest, and finally had a little free.

At this moment, Mi Yanran took Han Lele and pushed open the glass door and walked in.

"Lele, you're here!Xiaomi, you're a little late today, are you working overtime again?" Li Feifei greeted the two happily when she saw Han Lele.

Mi Yanran pursed her lips and smiled faintly:

"There was a teachers' meeting later in the school today, so I was late, and Lele was starving, but I didn't dare to let her come alone. ”

Chen Kai stepped forward and looked at Mi Yanran, who was wearing a plain casual skirt and a refreshing ponytail today, and felt that her mood seemed to be a little depressed.

But this is just his own conjecture, Chen Kai looked at the two of them, and said with a faint smile: "It just so happens that the guests have almost eaten, you do it first, and talk while eating, Xiaofei, you can also sit." ”

Chen Kai walked to the door and said to Ding Yuan, who was serving skewers outside, "Old Ding!

Ding Yuan waved his hand: "There are a lot of people here now, leave me a fish to heat in the pot, and I'll eat it later." ”

Chen Kai shook his head helplessly, turned around, took out a large porcelain basin in the kitchen, and went to the thermal insulation table to take out three fragrant braised crucian carp, and brought them to the dining table of Mi Yanran and the three of them.

After serving the rice, a few people set off.

Lele was really hungry, watching the roasted fish suck a mouthful of saliva, and ate it with rice, and was clapped by Li Feifei, reminding him to be careful of fish bones.

Chen Kai was slowly eating fish soup and rice, but his eyes were observing Mi Yanran.

Mi Yanran looked at the braised crucian carp in front of her, her eyes flashed with appetite, and she was about to reach out for the chopsticks, but she didn't know what to think again, so she bit her lip lightly and put her hand down again.

Chen Kai saw that Mi Yanran was wrong, and he also put down the dishes and chopsticks for a while and looked at Mi Yanran's eyes.

Mi Yanran felt Chen Kai's gaze, raised her moist and smart eyes, and also looked at Chen Kai.

Chen Kai didn't dodge, the two looked at each other for a while, and finally couldn't bear it, Chen Kai asked with concern, "Teacher Mi, do you have anything on your mind?"

Mi Yanran looked directly at Chen Kai gently, with some melancholy in her eyes, as if she had great regrets, and after a while, she said leisurely:

"The school had contacted a charitable foundation that had invested in improving the canteen, but now it is hopeless. ”
