Chapter 95, Mu Maoyuan and steak
Greater Shanghai, as the Oriental Magic City that has been famous all over the world since the thirties, is the existence of countless people in the country. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoSince that great conference in '78, many enterprising people have come here to work hard for their dreams, so that a group of people who once carried farm tools have become private entrepreneurs who have become legally rich with a dragon cane.
Mu Maoyuan also had the same idea, so he came here to work hard, although he is only a hairy young man now, but according to his parents' words, it is because of this that he has to hurry out of the house and go to the big city to see the world.
Mu Maoyuan was lucky, not long after he came to Shanghai, he entered a foreign-funded clothing company with his not fluent English.
In fact, Mu Mao was far from knowing about this company from formal recruitment channels, but its sense of presence was too strong. He watched the grand bidding meeting from the corner of the scene, and what kind of concept was the super large order of 20 million US dollars? Not to mention the US dollar, even if it was only 20 million...... No, even if it's only two thousand dollars, that's an absolute astronomical amount for him.
Therefore, living in a basement with a monthly rent of less than ten yuan, eating a one-yuan breakfast with fried dough sticks, soy milk, tofu, brains and eggs, Mu Maoyuan made up his mind on the spot that he must apply for a job at this super large company located on bustling Nanjing Road!
And then, he actually succeeded......
Maybe it's because it's the period when the new company is settling down, and the interviewer is the blonde girl at the job fair, who should be forty years old, but I don't think I'll be able to go to the intellectual beauty at most. What surprised Mu Maoyuan was that just after he said the extremely non-standard pronunciation "gambling is poisonous", the girl actually spoke a string of fluent Chinese!
In this way, Mu Maoyuan started working in this large company, and his position was just an ordinary clerk, responsible for handling a large number of documents. In this way, he soon discovered how wise his decision was.
First of all, the salary level of this company is good, about 30% higher than the equivalent position in other companies, which is quite a remarkable improvement, and foreign-funded enterprises are good. And what makes Mu Maoyuan particularly happy is that the company's canteen on the eighth floor is definitely the world of his foodie.
Mu Maoyuan speculated that although the female boss was an authentic American, she was definitely a lover of Chinese culture, otherwise, how could she let the canteen prepare such exquisite food? Moreover, not only Chinese food, but also any employee could taste authentic Western food here!
Steak, red wine, chocolate cake, pizza, butterscotch candy or something, although the price is higher, but it is definitely much cheaper than the recently opened Western restaurant on Nanjing Road.
With just one item, Mu Maoyuan is sure that the loyalty of the company's employees is absolutely speechless.
One day at noon, it was time to eat again, and Mu Maoyuan, who had been busy with his work all morning, rushed to the canteen non-stop, after all, he got up late this morning and didn't even have time to eat breakfast. But that's it, after he came to the cafeteria, he found that there was already a long queue in the Western food area, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch it today.
"Hey, Xiao Mu, it's early today. ”
The person who called him was Lin Yalian, who worked as a waiter in the clothing flagship store on the first floor of the company, and when he saw her shooting in the western food area, Mu Mao was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran over and handed her a sum of money: "Great, it just so happens that you are also in line, can you buy me a pizza?" ”
Lin Yalian was really a beautiful girl, and she was so kind, she took the money handed over by Mu Maoyuan, and chuckled: "What ham sausage, that's called bacon, bacon, understand?"
Mu Maoyuan's old face flushed: "Okay, okay, I know that you can't learn English well, so don't laugh at me." ”
Mu Maoyuan still remembers what kind of expression Lin Yalian had when she knew what she said to the interviewer, "gambling is poisonous". Especially after knowing that the interviewer actually asked him to speak Chinese with fluent Chinese......
After Lin Yalian bought a pizza on her behalf, the two of them randomly found a wide table to sit down and have lunch. Mu Maoyuan naturally ate bacon pizza, Lin Yalian tasted a steak, Mu Maoyuan saw that the meat was still a little red, and frowned: "Why hasn't this steak been fried yet?
Lin Yalian just wanted to put the beef in her mouth, but she was stunned when she heard this, and then she giggled.
Mu Maoyuan was naturally inexplicable, but because of his expression, Lin Yalian suddenly laughed even more, and after his inexplicable expression turned into depression, Lin Yalian chuckled: "Stupid you, this is called medium-rare!" According to the way of eating authentic Western food, foreigners don't fry beef until it is fully cooked, saying that it tastes bad and will lose nutrients. ”
Mu Maoyuan frowned: "Although I don't understand it, it seems to make some sense, but ...... After all, it's not fully cooked, can it really be delicious? You're not afraid of ruining your stomach?"
Lin Yalian blinked her eyebrows, the steak turned to her uncut side, and said softly, "Why don't you try a piece?"
Mu Maoyuan's old face suddenly turned red again.
"Uh......"
Birds and beasts are not as good as choosing one or the other, Mu Maoyuan chose the latter, and after he really gave away a piece of eight-ripe steak, he suddenly realized that he was indeed a long way from being a beast.
"Hmm...... It's fishy...... Not...... It's quite tender, though...... But it's really fishy!Hmm...... Is this the Eight Maturity? Oh my God......"
Mu Maoyuan's expression at this time was like a face on a concave and convex mirror, and any expression could be presented on it, and Lin Yalian snickered, and even said: "It seems that eating this for you is really a mouse chewing barley, do you know how much it will cost if this steak is put in the store outside us?"
Even if he hasn't been there, Mu Maoyuan can certainly imagine how expensive an authentic Western restaurant can be.
"Anyway, I really can't stand it, the smell is too heavy. ”
Lin Yalian smiled and cut off a piece of the entrance: "You can't stand this?" I've been to that restaurant, in addition to the eight ripe, there are also seven ripe, five ripe, and even three ripe steaks!"
Mu Maoyuan was stunned for a moment: "Are you kidding? Three mature? Isn't that no different from raw? Who can eat it? Unless ......"
At that moment, a little girl sat down at the table.
Mu Maoyuan was stunned for a moment and reacted, although this girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old, she was obviously not an employee of the company, so she should be a child who came to the company to find her parents.
"Hey, kids, you also come to the cafeteria to eat, this is ...... you eat?"
As soon as the words fell, Mu Maoyuan suddenly became dumb.
The surface of the steak is a beautiful burnt tan with sweet gravy on the surface, but when the girl picks up the knife, the inside is indeed bright red and tender like a watermelon pulp. Around the disk, there was even bright red juice squeezed out by the dinner knife.
Chewing and listening to the sound of bright red blood squeezing in the girl's mouth, Mu Maoyuan's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth and said, "Oh my God, girl, your meat is not cooked at all, is it!?"
The girl glanced at him, didn't say anything, and continued to eat meat, while Lin Yalian chuckled: "This is the three mature steaks, Xiao Mu, how is it, are you scared?"
Is this the three ripeness? Except for the thin layer in the outermost circle, it is simply a whole piece of raw meat!
"Little girl, aren't you afraid of bad stomach if you eat such raw meat? You're eating steak for the first time, could it be that you picked the wrong one? It doesn't matter if you pick the wrong one, my brother can help you buy another piece, we don't have to force ourselves, it's so ......"
"Xiao Mu!"
Lin Yalian kicked him hard under the table, Mu Maoyuan was stunned, but heard her say: "I didn't see other people's children eating so deliciously, what do you care?" ”
Indeed, it was at this moment that the steak of two hundred grams had been swallowed by the girl. This is four taels of raw meat, and the girl actually ate it so easily, which completely frightened Mu Maoyuan.
"Kid, this steak ......"
"This is a Spanish black pork rib, slow-cooked at low temperature, with black pork paired with Verla white wine from Spain, which is the quintessence of Spanish cuisine. The standard process is to slow cook the black pork ribs at a low temperature of 63 degrees for 12 hours, so that the meat is balanced inside and out, the skin is crispy, and the inside is properly moistened. The standard table wine should have a fresh fruity aroma, moderate acidity and a refreshing taste. ”
As she spoke, after drinking the wine and wiping her mouth, the girl casually glanced at Mu Maoyuan and said, "So, this is not a steak." ”
After saying that, she disappeared into the cafeteria as suddenly as she came.
Looking at the back of the girl who quickly fled to the door, Mu Maoyuan's mouth opened and closed silently several times, and finally said, "The steak we ate ...... It doesn't seem to be as ...... as she says So ......"
At this time, Lin Yalian sighed.
"That's why I just kicked you, Xiao Mu, although I don't know where that girl got this dish, she must be a relative of our company's top management, right?"
Mu Maoyuan blinked: "Our company's management ...... It seems that they just came from the United States not long ago, a group of ...... NBA or NBC or what...... Foreigners?"
Lin Yalian blinked: "I know that whether it is our canteen or the newly opened Western restaurant across the street, there are no three mature steaks for sale, because Chinese people will definitely not eat them." ”
In this way, Mu Maoyuan looked around in dismay, looked at the dining car in the western dining area and the colleagues around him, and finally looked back at Lin Yalian with a wry smile.
"Okay...... Anyway, I know that I really don't eat ......."
