Ninety-eight county magistrates, technicians, and missionaries
(Cat flutter Chinese) Soon after the opening of the "Good Taste" restaurant, several special customers became regular customers of the restaurant, and they were the county magistrate Xie, Xu technician, and the missionary "Ghost Guy" Schmidt.
"Ghost Guy" Schmidt has become a good friend with He Xiaojun since he met him, starting from his food stall and patronizing the current restaurant.
The "ghost guy" interacted with He Xiaojun, in addition to the fact that he had no language barrier in communicating with himself, and they could also talk about it.
What the "ghost guy" doesn't understand is that the eldest child who interacts with him, how can his knowledge be so rich, not to mention China's astronomy and geography, even foreign trivialities, he can also say a thing or two.
What made the "ghost guy" almost drop his jaw was that this big kid could actually cook Western food.
When talking about eating the "pork chop" made by He Xiaojun and eaten for the first time in two years in this county, the "ghost guy" Schmidt was so excited that he burst into tears.
That was one day, after the "ghost guy" Schmidt came to the restaurant as usual, He Xiaojun noticed that he looked abnormal and depressed, so he asked him what was the matter?
"Ghost Guy" Schmidt told He Xiaojun that it was his birthday and that it was his third year of missionary work in China. On this day, he missed his hometown very much, and he also wanted to eat the food of his hometown.
"Ghost" Schmidt said that after he came to China, he never tasted this hometown food again, except for a Western meal in the provincial capital. And after coming to Ningcheng, he didn't even have bread, so on this day of his birthday, he especially missed the food in his hometown.
On that day, Xu Technician, who was also a frequent customer of the "Good Taste" restaurant and had a close relationship with He Xiaojun, was also present at the train station, and he said that he had a friend who had just returned from "Jinshan" and brought him back a bottle of "cheese sauce", which he was willing to contribute to the "ghost guy" to enjoy to relieve his homesickness.
When the "ghost guy" heard that there was food from his hometown, his eyes lit up at first. But then, he immediately became interested again, saying what is the use of "cheese sauce"? There's not even a slice of bread here, so should he make "cheese sauce" his staple food?
After He Xiaojun listened to their words, he pondered for a while, and asked Technician Xu to go back and bring the bottle of "cheese sauce", and then he said to "Ghost Guy" Schmidt that today, he wanted to surprise "Ghost Guy".
Half an hour after Technician Xu brought the "cheese sauce", He Xiaojun put three kinds of food in front of the "ghost guy".
The "ghost guy", who was still depressed, saw the things He Xiaojun brought, and was so surprised that his "ghost eyes" widened, and after letting the big cow next to him see it, he went back and had nightmares for several nights.
It turned out that He Xiaojun actually made two not authentic Western food and a half-foreign thing for the "ghost guy" on that day as a birthday gift for the "ghost guy".
Two dishes that are not authentic Western food, one is "small pork chop" and the other is cake; The half-earth, half-ocean dish is "cheese baked sweet potato".
"Because there are many overseas Chinese in Haishan, there are many influences from foreign cultures, and food culture is no exception. In He Xiaojun's previous life, there were many dishes that combined Western food and local cooking in the catering industry, and this "little pork chop" was one of them.
To make "small pork chops", first cut the fine meat into half a palm-sized block, use the back of the knife to break the tendons of the fine meat, then marinate it with seasonings, and finally accompany the egg yolk liquid and dip in the powder, and fry it in the pot until golden brown on both sides.
This dish can be served with "tomato sauce" or served as a stand-alone dish.
The production and cooking method of "small pork chop" is similar to that of the real "pork chop", but there is a slight difference in size, taste and heat, and it tastes both "pork chop" and strong Chinese flavor, which can be described as a unique combination of Chinese and Western dishes.
Although the raw materials of the cake made by He Xiaojun are 100% authentic, because there is no oven, he has to adapt measures to local conditions, use two thin iron boxes for cooking porridge to cover them together to form a simple box, and then bake the noodles with a lot of effort over slow fire.
The cake is baked golden on all sides, and after being sipped with "cheese sauce", it has the style of a few Western-style dim sums.
"Cheese baked sweet potato" is an innovative dish in some high-end tea restaurants in He Xiaojun's previous life. This dish is made of pine-flavored yellow potatoes baked with "cheese sauce", which is also a "combination of local and foreign" dishes, because the raw materials it uses are one soil and one ocean.
After tasting the taste of hometown food that he had not seen for a long time, "Ghost" Schmidt's eyes were red, and he stood up excitedly and made a move that made the big cow next to him almost disgusted to vomit out all the food he ate that day.
"Ghost" Schmidt's excited move was to hug He Xiaojun and kiss him on the cheek.
After this time, He Xiaojun made these things from time to time for the "ghost guy" to taste to relieve his homesickness.
In He Xiaojun's words, people have left their homeland to come to their place to preach, although he himself is not interested in this Christ Amen, but the spirit of the people is precious, and they have contributed to the development of this place, and it is reasonable to entertain others by himself.
As for the restaurant's frequent customer, Xu Technician, he has been in contact with him since he saw He Xiaojun's skills in repairing jeeps. Because both of them have insight into mechanical knowledge, the two talked very well in the days of dating.
The deeper the interaction with He Xiaojun, the more alarming Technician Xu became, because the eldest child who interacted with him had a deep understanding of mechanics far beyond him who had been in this industry for most of his life.
It was because he couldn't see through He Xiaojun's mechanical cognition, and because Technician Xu's family was abroad, he had to work here alone, so he came to the restaurant whenever he was free, and seized every opportunity He Xiaojun had free time to discuss mechanical problems with him.
Technician Xu is the person who came back from "Jinshan", and the "ghost guy" Schmidt is the county magistrate of Biao Xie After tasting the delicious food made by He Xiaojun on the day of "Yingyue", he has a sense of endless aftertaste. On a day off, on a whim, he came to the restaurant alone to review the day's deliciousness.
After the county magistrate Xie came to the restaurant, he didn't alarm the others, he asked the big cow who was busy in the restaurant compound, and after knowing that He Xiaojun was in the "Wangjiang Room" on the second floor, he walked up by himself.
By the way, He Xiaojun gave elegant names to the five rooms of the high-end restaurant "Bamboo Rhyme" on the second floor of this restaurant. The room to the west is called Wangjiang because you can see the "Tongji River"; The room to the east is called Yingyue; The room to the north is called Listen to the Wind; The room facing south, because it faces the "drunken fragrance building", is called smelling incense; And the remaining one, there is bamboo outside the window, which is called Guanzhu.
"Wangjiang Room" is the largest restaurant and the most complete "luxury room", and this room can see the most beautiful landscape.
When County Magistrate Xie came to the door of the "Wangjiang House" he had visited during his last food tasting, he heard three voices inside arguing fiercely about a question.
To the surprise of County Magistrate Xie, the three people in the room actually used three languages in their arguments.
County Magistrate Xie came down from the provincial capital to take up his post, and of course he is familiar with the provincial dialect of vernacular, and Haishan dialect, although this may be a unique language in the country, is not easy to learn, but after staying here for a few years, even if he is not fluent, he can still cope with it.
As for the conversation between the people in the room, there is another thing that he can't say, and County Magistrate Xie, who has dealt with overseas Chinese for so many years, of course heard that this language is called English.
County Magistrate Xie was curious at that time, how could there be a few more people who could speak these languages in this small county town, and these people stayed together.
After entering the room, when the county magistrate Xie knew that He Xiaojun could also speak English, he sighed that he was a talent, a rare talent, but unfortunately, this talent was not used for him.
That day, County Magistrate Xie joined in the conversation of these three "strange words".
As the conversation with the three of them deepened, the more frightened the county magistrate Xie became, and the missionary and the Xu technician, two people who had traveled from south to north and had come from abroad, had of course seen a lot of knowledge. What he never expected was that He Xiaojun, an eldest child, was no worse than these two people, but seemed to be above these two people.
After this time, as long as County Magistrate Xie is free, he will come here and chat with the technician, the "ghost guy" and He Xiaojun for a day-shaking chat.
The reason why County Magistrate Xie liked to communicate with He Xiaojun and them was because he felt that he had a very happy conversation with these people; second, he also wanted to add his own knowledge; The third is that the miraculous character He Xiaojun caused him, and because of this, the county magistrate, technician and missionary, who were not in the same line, not only became long-term regular customers of the restaurant, but also became a small group with He Xiaojun, the owner of this restaurant.
