Chapter 12: Authentic Jajanjangmyeon
"Bring it to me on Monday, tomorrow Saturday, I won't go to work. By the way, there are a few more things, the license of this commissary is the third production of the unit, you can't use it, you have to run the license yourself; If you want to use any high-power electrical appliances, such as air conditioners, electric donkeys, and electric heaters, you will have to pay extra money, and when the time comes, I will ask the electrician to install an electric meter for you, and then you will have to take extra electricity. The tall fat man thought hard and summed up two things that needed to be talked to Hong Tao in advance.
"This is as it should be, it should be, you see it's not far from noon now, or let's go to the barbecue season for lunch, it's my Xie Lu thank you for helping me so much." Hong Tao gritted his teeth, ready to make some more blood, and win over this tall and fat man, which can save a lot of things in the future.
"Come on, it's not easy for you, work hard, I understand your kindness. By the way, if you really want to thank you, brother Gao, you might as well do me a favor. In his opinion, such a young man whose parents died can come out to find food by himself, it is already very rare, he can help if he can, there is really no shortage of food.
"You say." Hearing that the tall fat man had a request for himself, Hong Tao pondered that he probably wanted to order more fish food, because he really didn't have anything to make him look at besides this.
"I have a nephew who graduated from high school this year, and it would be good for him to graduate with that grade, let alone college. This kid is definitely not annoying, and he has not learned badly, but he is too stupid to forget everything but eating, you see, if you need manpower here, let him be a little guy? It doesn't matter how much salary is given, I am mainly afraid that he will be left alone at home and learn badly with bad boys, my sister and her two children both work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and often go abroad, so they don't have time to watch him. Gao Fat didn't mention the matter of bait, but wanted to introduce his nephew to Hong Tao as a buddy.
"Then you and your sister are not planning to find him a more stable job?" Hong Tao was a little puzzled.
"Hey, it's hard to find, I'm planning to let him do it with you first, and then her mother and I will show him again." The tall fat man was a little embarrassed.
"Yes, I see, you're going to keep an eye on him, aren't you? No problem, who am I hiring, and I am not tired of working here, if I have time, I will help you watch him become successful. Hong Tao was not embarrassed by Gao Fatzi's request, anyway, even if he didn't have Gao Fat's nephew, he had to find a helper.
"Cheng, then I'll thank you for your mother...... Ha lu haha. "Gao Fatzi has solved a problem of his own, and he is much happier than earning tens of thousands of yuan more rent for the unit.
"You're welcome, then you are busy with this first, I'll go back and prepare, find a construction team or something, I have to brush it white." Hong Tao felt that today's harvest was too big, and wanted to hurry home to digest it.
"Hi...... Don't look for any construction team, you don't plan to decorate luxuriously, I have someone here, don't worry, to the 1st, I'll find you a few logistics masters, ensure that the craftsmanship is no problem, the price is also appropriate, definitely not pit you, they are all temporary workers, only get dead wages in the unit, you can get some money for your work, you also have peace of mind, they are also happy. As soon as the fat man heard that Hong Tao was going to decorate, he quickly stopped him, and gave Hong Tao a chance to take advantage of the public.
"That's a good feeling, then it's a lot of trouble for you, I have to treat you to a good meal tomorrow." Hong Tao heard this, this matter must be agreed, this is the rhythm of hello, I am good, everyone is good, even if those few skills are not good, you have to endure it, the unit is like this, whoever can fight for the benefits for everyone is the uncle, the tall fat man relies on this to benefit the employees of the unit, and he can't refute his face if he says anything.
"Yes, I'll talk about it later, I have to go to the cafeteria to have a look, you go back first, remember to bring money to sign the contract on Monday." Tall and fat people are also quite happy, and sometimes doing good deeds will make people feel a sense of self-satisfaction.
Hong Tao out of the commissary, did not go to the other 2 places to see the house, directly back home, today has completed the most difficult project, you can have a good rest for two days, and when the contract is signed on Monday, you can go to the industrial and commercial bureau to take a photo. When Hong Tao hummed a little song and stepped into the courtyard gate, he immediately had the urge to report the fire, and puffs of smoke came out of Sam's kitchen, and the yard was full of burnt smell.
"I said Sam...... Son, what kind of meal have you made? Hong Tao was also tinkering with Sam's Chinese cooking skills again, and walked to the kitchen door to open the door, only to see Sam's two daughters hurriedly fighting in front of the gas stove with a black ball in the wok.
"Hey, children playing with fire at night, you probably haven't seen this thing, and I'm not afraid of blowing you up." Seeing that the bottom of the pot was almost open, Hong Tao hurried over to close the gas canister and open the window to let the smoke in the room escape.
"It's too hard, it's not the same as what my father said." Sister Erin threw the vegetable shovel into the pot and pointed to a notebook on the board next to her and said in Chinese.
"Your dad really looks up to the two of you, and when he comes up, he will make silk yams, and I can't make Tao Ye." Hong Tao lay on the board and looked at what was written in the book, but in addition to the name is in Chinese, the following methods are all in English, Hong Tao didn't understand too much, but just looking at the Chinese name, he knew what the Irene sisters were playing.
"You're going to do it for us? Lunch! Sister Katie didn't know where to find a chef's hat to wear, holding a basin of water in her hand, probably afraid that the pot would catch fire, and prepared a basin of water to extinguish it.
"Come on, I can't ask for this pot, I won't add a paste pot for you to play, go to my house to eat...... Go, I, home, and have lunch! "Don't talk about it, the contents of this pot are completely glued to the bottom of the pot, if you want to cook, you have to brush the pot first, it seems that you can't brush it with a steel wool ball, Hong Tao doesn't plan to help the sisters destroy the corpses, let Sam come back and see what the baby daughter has done."
"You're better than Sam? The food Sam made was delicious. Katie didn't seem to believe Hong Tao very much, and bragged for her father.
"When I'm cooking, Sam still eats sandwiches." Hong Tao didn't explain the gap between Sam's cooking skills and himself, not because he didn't want to hit their father in front of his daughters, but mainly because he had a problem with his English proficiency and couldn't accurately express Hong Tao's contempt for Sam's cooking skills.
Hong Tao's cooking skills are basically in the stage of being able to cook and stir-fry, there is still a distance from having cooking skills, he does not have high requirements for eating, rice and noodles are OK, the taste of the dishes is a little salty, the color is a little heavier, there are no higher requirements, I am really greedy, so I go to the restaurant outside.
Today, Hong Tao is going to use practical actions to hit Sam's status in the minds of his daughters, so he must show his hand, but he knows in his heart that he is really inferior to Sam's skills compared to cooking.
But Hong Tao has a way to make up for his own technical shortcomings, Chinese food does not have to be fried and fried, Hong Tao still has the skill to make a meal of fried noodles, and the most important thing is that this fried sauce was fried by Hong Tao's aunt for him, and it is said that he can't find a second such NB fried sauce in the alley where his aunt lives.
First make water in the pot, and then wash the cucumbers by hand, the hand-rolled noodles are ready-made, the ones I bought yesterday have not been eaten, it is said to be hand-rolled noodles, in fact, they are pressed out of the machine, but those profiteers don't know how to get them, and the appearance of the noodles is a bit like the hand-rolled appearance in the home.
Cut the cucumber into strips, smash the garlic cloves into a puree, boil the water and cut the noodles, then dig out a piece of the fried sauce in a large glass bottle, put it in a wok and heat it on low heat, after the noodles are cooked, pass the cold water twice, and put it into 3 large bowls, a total of 20 minutes, and a lunch is done.
Food doesn't have to be complicated to be authentic, this meal of fried noodles 3 people are very satisfied, Hong Tao also pranks to teach the two American girls the most authentic way to eat Beijing fried noodles: one hand holds the bottom of the big bowl, squats in the shade of the yard with a toad, cucumber strips and chopsticks are pinched in the same hand, eating noodles can not be called eating and sucking into the mouth, filling the mouth with noodles, and then stuffing half a cucumber strip to chew together.
