Chapter 12: Amazing Knife Skills

Tang Liang, who was hit by Tang's mother on the phone, rushed into the Hunyan City Department Store and Supermarket after the No. 36 bus arrived at the station.

There is also a vegetable market near the community where Tang Liang lives, but the No. 36 bus cannot reach his house directly, and he still needs to change trains. For Tang Liang, who hates taking the bus, it is better to buy good vegetables in the department store and supermarket and take a taxi home!

Hunyan Department Store Supermarket is referred to as Hunbai, which is the largest and most complete comprehensive supermarket in Hunyan City, and has branches in the surrounding counties and cities of Hunyan City. Vegetables and fruits, because they are not easy to store, are generally placed in a slightly cold place such as the basement floor.

A comprehensive supermarket with a large flow of people like this generally has a variety of snacks that are completely convenient and convenient to sell. At half past eleven, it was the time for office workers to take their lunch break, and all kinds of beautifully dressed men and women were calling friends to the supermarket.

Tang Liang, whose target is the basement floor, does not have to suffer this crime after passing through the crowded crowd at the gate.

After passing through the crowd, Tang Liang didn't know that nerve was not right, he actually leaned his back against the corner of the first floor and the underground, took out a box of Tashan from his pocket, took out one and lit it in his mouth, and looked at the crowd with a smile on his face that was so crowded that he couldn't move his feet at all.

It wasn't until the crowd all looked at him angrily that Tang Liang took a deep puff of his cigarette, shrugged his shoulders apologetically, and after spitting a smoke ring into the crowd with a sneering face, he stepped on the cigarette and strode towards the ground, causing an angry scolding behind him.

"Huh!" When Tang Liang walked to the vegetable counter, when he saw those vegetables that looked similar, he was not only surprised.

"This was picked the day before yesterday, eh, this time is a bit long" has a dream memory, those vegetables on the counter that used to be no different to him at all, now just look at it, you can tell the good from the bad.

"I don't have to be ridiculed by my mother anymore, and I can buy the best dishes with the same money." Tang Liang was picking vegetables, thinking about his mother's surprised appearance when she saw that she had bought all the fresh vegetables she bought, and the corners of her mouth were not only slightly upturned, but she showed a smug smile.

"This one, this one is not bad, I bought them all" Imagining the surprised appearance of his parents, Tang Liang had fallen into a state of madness, and as long as he saw fresh vegetables, he put them on the cart.

Tang Liang, who had already thought about what to cook at noon, completely forgot the plan he had made when he found out that he could tell which was the fresh vegetable. It wasn't until he picked up a bundle of leeks and found that there was nowhere to put it on the cart that he was pulled back into reality from his mad state.

"Well, I bought too much." After Tang Liang said something to the waiter who rolled his eyes in embarrassment, he hurriedly put the vegetables on the cart back.

In his dreams, Tang Liang made the most dishes was Sichuan cuisine. So the two hot dishes he is going to cook for his parents today are mapo tofu and fish-flavored shredded pork that are more common in Sichuan cuisine, cold dishes are cucumber peels that are common in the Northeast, and soup he prepares is pork rib soup.

In these dishes, only a few cucumbers are used for the main vegetables, and ingredients such as green onions and ginger are available at home. So after Tang Liang put all the vegetables on the cart back, he picked a few cucumbers and some green peppers, and hurriedly left the vegetable area under the white eyes of the waiter.

has the experience in a dream, and choosing good meat is like a piece of cake for Tang Liang today. After buying all the main ingredients and ingredients, Tang Liang deliberately bypassed the vegetable area, went to the cashier to check out, and left the Hunbai supermarket quickly.

After taking a taxi back to the community, Tang Liang held the vegetables in both hands, kicked the door, and shouted, "Mom, open the door for me." ”

After Tang's mother Su Yanzhen opened the door, she reached out and took the bag, and complained: "Why did you buy so many vegetables, can the three of us eat them!" ”

After Tang Liang took off his shoes, he put the bag on the kitchen table, and said confidently: "Mom, don't worry, with my skills, I wonder if I have bought less." ”

After opening the bag and looking at the materials inside, Su Yanzhen, who was thinking about what to do at noon, asked suspiciously after hearing Tang Liang's words: "Do you really want to cook by yourself, don't need your mother's help?" ”

"Of course, today you can watch TV with peace of mind, and I will do everything." Tang Liang put his hands on Su Yanzhen's shoulders, and after pushing her out of the kitchen, he closed the glass door of the kitchen, and made an OK gesture to Tang's mother through the glass.

"If the ribs are to be stewed for the longest time, then make the ribs first." Tang Liang turned on the gas and began to boil water, and washed the already cut ribs and put them aside.

In the boiling of water, Tang Liang took out the tofu and put it in the palm of his left hand, the right hand holding the knife was raised to his shoulder, and after taking a deep breath, the right hand holding the knife quickly fell to the tofu in the palm of his left hand.

Tang Liang's right hand holding the knife slashed so resolutely, while his left hand, which was stretched out in front of him, was so steady. Even though the sharp blade had slightly touched the skin of his palm, his left hand, which was as steady as Mount Tai, did not waver in the slightest.

The arm was quickly raised and fell, only to see that on the kitchen knife in his hand, the shining cold light was like a butterfly wearing flowers, and after a few turns around the tofu, Tang Liang gently put the tofu on his left hand without any scars into the empty plate.

The tofu, which had no damage on the surface, quickly slipped off the moment it was placed on an empty plate and split into 27 small pieces of the same size.

After cutting another piece of tofu in the same way, Tang Liang began to cut the shredded meat, green onion and ginger and other ingredients for the fish-flavored shredded pork.

After cleaning all the ingredients to be used, a rhythmic sound of "chopping" and chopping vegetables continued to echo in Tang Liang's small kitchen.

"Without your mother's help, can you still eat this lunch?" When Tang Liang had just fished out the ribs that had been drained of blood, Tang Wenli opened the sliding door of the kitchen and walked in with his back hand.

"I'm your own son, did you say that about your son?" Tang Liang poured out the water in the pot, refilled the water and put the ingredients such as pork ribs and green onions, ginger and garlic, turned on the high fire and covered the pot, turned around and rolled his eyes.

Tang Wenli has been a police officer all his life, and now after retirement, he and Tang's mother have opened a "senior activity center", which is often referred to as a mahjong parlor.

"I'm just telling the truth." Tang Wenli habitually said in an official tone, and after seeing Tang Liang doing a good job, he walked out of the kitchen and closed the sliding door, without giving Tang Liang a chance to refute, and returned to the living room with his back hand to continue watching TV.

As soon as Tang Wenli walked back to the living room, Su Yanzhen got up and asked with a concerned face: "How is Xiao Liang doing, is there anything in a hurry?" ”

Tang Wenli sat back on the sofa in the living room, picked up the teacup on the coffee table and took a sip, then chirped and said, "Look at the posture, but you don't know until you eat the cooking stuff." ”

"It's useless to go and see, you can't cook!"

After glaring at Tang Wenli, who was full of embarrassment, Su Yanzhen, who had just sat on the sofa, stood up suddenly, and said in a broken way as she walked towards the kitchen: "No, I have to go and see our son, don't set the kitchen on fire." ”
