Chapter 114: Gastronomy Contract
The next day, when Ye Jing found Li Ming easily, he and Chen Ke were chatting about something on the commercial street.
"Yo yo yo yo~~ It's finally here!" Li Ming's eyes were sharp, and he saw Ye Jing carrying a backpack from afar, "Hurry up, I'm waiting for you." ”
Ye Jing tightened the shoulder straps of her backpack, took a step to rush to everyone, wiped her forehead and asked, "What the hell is going on?"
"Ahaha, it's a good thing, do you remember to tell you that our club doesn't have a contract store at the moment?" Li Mingxing happily patted Chen Ke's shoulder, "Your fan group helped introduce one!"
"Oh?" Ye Jing couldn't help but be impressed, she always thought that the fan group of campus idols was just a family and friend meeting that got together under the pretext of idols, but she didn't expect that there were really people who really contributed to the idol club.
"Hehe......" Ye Jing looked a little embarrassed Chen Ke smirked, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a favor, the owner of this shop is already very familiar with us, thinking that if he can help you, it will also be a good thing for mutual benefit, so there is no reason to refuse." ”
Ye Jing nodded: "Hmm, after all, which store is it?"
"Just ahead......"
Following the direction of Chen Ke's finger, Ye Jing saw a dark green signboard, on which was painted a peaceful scene of green mountains and green waters, but what was more attractive was the bright red characters in the center---- Baturu barbecue.
"Their main Mongolian barbecue ......," Chen Ke introduced, "The food can be said to be served with children's undeceiving, full portions, and the arrogance of the northern grasslands is alive." ”
"Then I don't understand...... Ye Jing muttered, "It stands to reason that barbecue is quite popular in college towns, isn't this shop still invited an idol endorsement......? How could it be my turn?"
"Don't be so unconfident......"
"It's not a secret...... Chen Ke decisively interrupted the prelude to Li Ming's blurt out, "That...... In fact, there have been some problems with this store...... So ......"
"It can't be food poisoning, right?" Ye Jing was stunned.
"Hey!" Li Ming pushed Chen Ke behind him, "No, it's just funny, there is an organization called the 'Healthy Eating Association' in the college town, which usually writes about food strategies or something, but last year, I slapped my head and gave every restaurant in the university town a health index, and then you know, this barbecue restaurant was rated as one of the bad diets......"
"Eh, there are so many barbecue restaurants, are they all rated unhealthy?" Ye Jing couldn't help but interject.
"That's not ......," Chen Ke explained, "The association is basically composed of girls, and just look at the primary indicators such as meat and vegetable matching, bright colors, etc., the problem is that this Baturu barbecue restaurant does not sell vegetables, and the menu is full of all kinds of meat, and there are no vegetables on the plate, which is highly praised by our carnivores......
Ye Jing broke out in a cold sweat: "Then since it's just based on personal praise, will it really affect the business?"
"Theoretically, it won't, but in fact, it ......," Chen Ke shrugged helplessly, "Don't you know, although there are thousands of delicacies in the university town, most of them are concentrated in the east, and the dormitory in the east district near the water is a college with a majority of female students, so to get praise, you naturally have to get their approval, don't listen to their nonsense about what is healthy and unhealthy, where is the ice cream dessert shop at the corner of the street healthy? Just because the girls like it, they are spared, and the unhealthy shops shortlisted are especially places frequented by boys!"
Li Ming also added: "Don't you know why the three of them became tigers, I heard that this list has also reached the ears of the school, and over time it has really become a guiding document." This barbecue restaurant has gradually become crowded, and even boys rarely come......"
"So, no matter what, please save this store and give the store manager justice!" Chen Ke said seriously.
Ye Jing's face was black, daring to love this is another big deal......
During the chat, the group had already arrived in front of the barbecue restaurant, and since it was not yet time to open, the echo could be heard in the empty shop.
"Uncle Ba, are you there?" Chen Ke shouted into the room. I heard the sound of pots and pans behind the hall, and not long after, a big man with a round waist and thick arms walked out of the kitchen, and when he saw everyone, he opened his arms and laughed heartily.
"Baya Rilan, Ao Getuya ~~ Welcome Welcome ~~"
Ye Jing was taken aback by this sudden loud voice, and when she saw the person who came, she felt a sense of infinite joy. It's just that the store manager has a big face plate that seems to have come out of the old-fashioned years, full of red light, a voice like a bell, a pair of slender and long squinted eyes, a wide nose and a wide mouth, and two mustaches at the corners of his mouth, and the whole face is a nomadic image.
"Haha, just in time, come inside and try my new dish!"
"Uncle Ba, Uncle Ba...... Belch...... Don't be busy...... Let me introduce you first......" Chen Ke pointed at Ye Jing, "This is the idol lady I mentioned to you...... Her name is Ye Jing. ”
"Oh!" The big man who was called Uncle Ba opened his eyes vigorously, "Oh~~ This little girl is well-born, especially this face, there is meat, not bad, it would be nice if I could be fatter~~"
Ye Jing and Li Ming looked at each other and smiled, understanding why the girls of the Healthy Eating Association couldn't get along with this store......
"Come into the house and say come into the house and say, you just call me Uncle Ba with Xiao Kezi, come and ......."
Uncle Ba was burly, although he looked a little scary, but after only a few minutes of contact, Li Ming and Ye Jing were enthusiastically infected by it, and the family seemed to talk and laugh.
The small shop is filled with a faint aroma of food, and the surrounding walls are covered with paintings of herders on safaris, which looks very exotic. The white-lime painted walls also reveal the simplicity of the prairie people, and the unadorned windows that are open make the store look refreshing and bright. Only the plywood tops with aluminum alloy trim, although they were wiped clean, were still cloudy and slippery as if they had been smeared with a layer of lard.
When Li Ming expressed his intention and was discussing the contract with Uncle Ba around the table, Ye Jing casually took a recipe from the table and flipped through it.
"Bibimbap?" Ye Jing looked at this picture at first glance, the light yellow rice soaked in grease was like a layer of glue, and it was stuck in a black wooden bowl.
"This is the signature ...... here," Chen Ke leaned over and quietly introduced, "This is not ordinary fat, it is Uncle Ba's selection of the best leg meat as a side dish, the fragrant gravy that overflowed when grilling on the charcoal fire, plus the large and coarse fragrant stem rice, sprinkled with a little cumin and mixed well." Whenever we come here to eat hungry after training in the fencing club, it's a bowl of base!"
"Eh, you really want to be in a rhythm that is incompatible with the girl judges...... Ye Jing sighed, thinking that you have a lot of exercise, this is for ordinary people, that is, the rhythm of eating a bowl of long layer fat......
"Hey, actually, we're a little selfish ......when we talk about it," Chen Ke said with a smile, "The university town has always been doing a show similar to the food ranking, and for a long time, its voice has been held by those girls, so occasionally, we also want to make the food that boys like on the list!"
Is this going to take a side?Ye Jing muttered awkwardly, "What's that...... Ahem...... I'm a girl, right?"
Chen Ke couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then stroked his neck and said embarrassedly, "That's right, hehe, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's definitely not to deny your charm as an idol, it's just because of the relationship that you usually talk about, what kind of games, competitions, etc....... Everybody's got a little bit, that ...... Treat you as a buddy, no, no, no, I mean, as a friend!"
Chen Ke's explanation became darker and darker in Ye Jing's opinion, in fact, she still enjoyed the treatment of a suspected boy.
"Don't worry, your business is my business...... Ye Jing was happy, and then announced hot-headedly, "I will definitely help this store to the end!"
On the other hand, because of Chen Ke's relationship as the introducer, Uncle Ba also agreed to the contract, and the negotiation went smoothly for a while, but even Li Ming couldn't help but mutter, even if there is a contract discount, I am afraid that the idol club will not be able to come here to eat every day, which may ruin Ye Jing's figure, not to mention, if you introduce this shop to Qin Zhao's fat man, it will be almost the same as forcing him to commit suicide with a soft knife!
"Ahem...... Regarding this publicity plan...... "Li Ming rarely shows his face on the ground, and compared to Aunt He's home-cooked food, this restaurant is really unhealthy eating......
"Oh oh! I almost forgot about it!" Uncle Ba slapped his head loudly, "Today I invite you to taste my new dish, uh......? Little girl, don't worry, Uncle Ba, I also keep pace with the times, meat and vegetarian matching~~"
"Ah?!" Without waiting for Ye Jing to react, Chen Ke, who was sitting next to her, rushed to the table excitedly, "Uncle Ba, don't you insist on your characteristics?"
"Hey, hey, hey......" Uncle Ba twisted the beard next to his mouth, "That, I have talked to both the school and the shopping street before, or the health of the babies is important, I think about it, just eating meat is indeed too heavy, so I renovated the recipe to ensure green health!"
"Oh, if that's the case, then it's easy to do!" Li Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Let's take us to see the new dishes, if it really tastes good and distinctive, then the next publicity thing is a piece of cake!"
So everyone came to the kitchen bustling and witnessed the fresh, delicious, green and healthy food that Uncle Ba said.
"Look! this is it!" Uncle Ba happily carried a bundle of vegetables and put it in front of everyone.
"Big ...... Big...... Green onions?" Li Ming immediately withered when he saw it, and said that the taste was fresh?
Uncle Ba didn't care about these, but still enthusiastically introduced: "I also specially asked the school to borrow a book to read, the book said that the green onion sweats and inhibits bacteria, which is very good for health, in addition, I also added a little garlic to taste, talking about this garlic ah......"
Ye Jing couldn't laugh or cry when she heard it on the side, it seems that this store just can't get along with girls......
Li Ming couldn't help but complain and asked patiently, "That'...... Uncle Ba, what the hell are you doing here?"
"Scallion fried mutton rice bowl!" Uncle Ba hummed a little song in his hometown dialect while sneering and lit the stove, "Watch your Uncle Ba perform and cook!"
As soon as the words fell, the flames were like enthusiastic and strong grassland men, and after the green and white green onions were washed with water, the bright colors splashed with crystal water, and they were also like young women who could sing and dance, the two complemented each other, and the secluded was intoxicating.
The moment the fire is on the frying pan rack, the heartwarming sound of the oil explosion is like the prelude to a symphony, followed by the wonderful fragrance, like a flood filling the kitchen. Ye Jing swallowed instinctively, she believed that no one present would be spared this embarrassing move.
Looking at Uncle Ba, who was busy on the stove, after stir-frying the green onions and garlic, he turned around and took the best lamb leg meat that had been carefully roasted in advance, cut it into small pieces and threw it into the pot, and every knife could see the translucent meat juice overflowing along the blade. The other hand opened the rice pot and took the boiled fragrant stem rice into the pot together, and the white and soft rice grains were like pearls, which made the dishes in the pot instantly noble.
Then I saw Uncle Ba round his thick arms, and with the rhythm of the flames, he stir-fried enthusiastically, and the food flew into the air, and every time he landed and touched the wok, he snorted and spewed out a dizzying fragrance.
Ye Jing couldn't help but rub her nose, she really felt that her nose was about to melt in this tsunami of aroma.
"Uncle Ba, it's so fragrant!" Chen Ke was extremely excited, and the so-called index finger moved, "It's too fragrant!"
"Haha, finally finish!" Uncle Ba changed his arrogant style, and during the closing stage, he sprinkled a pinch of spices like an aunt doing needlework, like a catalyst, which increased the aroma of this fried rice exponentially.
Seeing that on the porcelain plate where the dishes were served, the green onions were green and white, and the mutton was fresh and tender, Ye Jing's facial features were about to come together excitedly.
I'm not hungry at this time, I'm sorry for myself!
