Chapter 159: Showing off your cooking skills
The next morning, Lan Yingying and the three of them all had dark eyes. Looking at them who were busy with their spirits, Hu Xianxian actually gave birth to a sense of intimacy.
After noon, when the number of guests decreased, Fan Jiahui began to move some toiletries to the place where Lan Yingying's parents lived, and picked up Yingying's mother here by the way.
After Fan Jiahui picked up Yingying's mother, he said that he would go with Ah Mao to prepare for the stall.
Hu Xianxian had been quietly watching them busy coming in and out, and asked at this time, "Aren't you opening a restaurant?" Where else are you going to set up a stall? ”
Lan Yingying smiled bitterly and said, "How can the income of this mountain treasure hall be enough for expenses? We're going to sell barbecue in the evening. ”
Lan Yingying's mother only noticed her when she heard Hu Xianxian speak, "What kind of daughter are you?" You know, this mountain treasure museum is opened by them in partnership. People paid for it, they worked hard, and they were so tired that as a result, all the money was handed over. ”
Hu Xianxian nodded, "Why don't you open it yourself?" ”
Yingying's mother snorted coldly and glared at Fan Jiahui, "Open it yourself?" Where does the capital come from? The money has stuck that guy in that base. ”
Fan Jiahui pursed his lips, did not contradict his mother-in-law, but just urged Ah Mao to quickly move the messy things onto the pickup truck.
Lan Yingying lowered her head and pulled her mother, "Mom......"
Yingying's mother turned her head and ignored her daughter. Lan Yingying saw a guest enter the door, so she had to greet the guest warmly first.
After the guests have ordered the food, they have it delivered to the teahouse at the corner of the street. Lan Yingying agreed, and the guest told again: "Boss, remember clearly, send it quickly, don't forget." ”
This was originally a very common sentence, but it made Yingying's mother angry, "What boss lady? She's the boss! She contributed money, effort, and worry, why did she say that person was the boss? ”
Lan Yingying, who had already walked into the kitchen, hurriedly ran out, apologized to the angry guests, and asked her mother to sit aside, "Mom, what kind of nameless fire are you sending to others?" ”
Yingying's mother watched Fan Jiahui and Ah Mao drive away with hatred, "I said you?" Why are you so melon? My Zhuang Guiqun gave birth to a daughter like you? ”
Hu Xianxian looked at their mother and daughter with a smile, she didn't quite understand what they were saying, she just thought it was funny. Although they were arguing, there was no warmth in this noisy day, and she hadn't felt this kind of warmth for a long time.
Lan Yingying said, as she spoke, and suddenly jumped up, "Oh no, the oil is burning!" ”
There was a chaotic sound of "ping-pong" in the kitchen, and after a while, choking black smoke wafted out.
Lan Yingying coughed and ran out, "It's okay...... Almost burned ......"
Yingying's mother said in a strange way: "It's good to burn it, so that you don't suffer here." ”
Lan Yingying stomped her feet, "Mom, you're embarrassed to say it!" It was you who pestered me to talk about it, and I forgot about it. ”
"You want to talk to me yourself, what's the matter with me?"
Hu Xianxian saw that the mother and daughter were about to quarrel, so she stood between them and said to Yingying's mother, "Zhuang Guiqun, it's you who are wrong. ”
Yingying's mother was stunned, "You...... Why aren't you a big girl? Should you call my name casually? Gee...... I can't even call an aunt......"
Hu Xianxian turned his head to Lan Yingying and said, "You go and cook, don't make the guests wait for a long time." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Yingying's mother again, "If you don't call your name, why do you have to take a name?" Zhuang Guiqun......"
Zhuang Guiqun was so angry that she smoked, but Hu Xianxian had an inexplicable momentum on her body that made her feel scared, so she sat in the corner and ignored them.
Hu Xianxian went to the kitchen to help Lan Yingying, and saw that she put the dried chili peppers into the water and soaked them, and then scooped them up and put them in the oil pot, so she said to her: "If you soak in water like this, it will make the water fry in the oil pot, and it will also make the dishes smell fishy." ”
Lan Yingying said busily: "There is no way. We have a lot of vegetarian dishes here, and putting dried chili peppers can enhance the color and taste. However, the dried chili peppers are easy to paste when poured directly into the oil pot, and the dried chili peppers will not be fragrant later. ”
Hu Xianxian tilted his head and thought for a while, "You can mix dried chili peppers with sour pickled peppers." ”
Lan Yingying put the dishes on the plate, "Add the sour chili peppers to the pot, won't it have a sour taste?" These guests are all retired cadres, and they have to meet in that teahouse every week, so they are our regular customers, and we can't make them unhappy. ”
Hu Xianxian sighed and snatched the kitchenware in Lan Yingying's hand, "I'll come, you go and talk to your mother for a while." ”
Lan Yingying wiped her oily hands on her apron, "You, don't come nonsense......"
Hu Xianxian said with a gloomy face: "Go quickly, don't make your mother angry." ”
After Lan Yingying went out, she was talking to her mother absentmindedly, her eyes kept staring at the kitchen, for fear that Hu Xianxian would have an accident.
It didn't take much time, so Hu Xianxian asked her to help serve the food. When they went to deliver food together, Lan Yingying glanced at Hu Xianxian after walking a few steps.
Seeing Hu Xianxian uncomfortable, "You look at the road well, don't look at me." ”
Lan Yingying was embarrassed to start, "I didn't expect you to really know how to cook, where did you come from?" ”
"I said it, you don't believe it yourself."
"Well, well, it's up to you to say it or not." Of course, Lan Yingying still didn't believe that Hu Xianxian was from another world.
However, after seeing Hu Xianxian cooking, Lan Yingying didn't think Hu Xianxian was so peculiar, and talked to Hu Xianxian about some family trivialities.
Only then did Hu Xianxian learn that the business of the Mountain Treasure Pavilion was quite good, but their prices were low and they didn't make much money. Every six months, I have to give a bonus to the boss who invests behind the scenes, so I can't make ends meet.
However, they don't want to make money, but want to promote ecological agriculture and let more people accept the wild vegetables they have domesticated and grown.
The guests who ordered the food this time ate their dishes with the mentality of longevity and health, in fact, they had eaten, and these dishes were eaten and played during the party.
Hu Xianxian frowned, "No wonder they only came to order food at this time." Eating and playing? It should be that this dish is not suitable for their taste, and they think that these dishes do have a health effect, so they let themselves eat it unconsciously by eating and playing, right? ”
Lan Yingying's face flushed, "Yes, let's take our food as medicine." ”
Hu Xianxian raised his head and smiled slightly proudly, "I guarantee that after they eat it this time, they will really like the dishes of the Mountain Treasure Pavilion." ”
Lan Yingying smiled reluctantly, she was actually very worried about the reaction of the guests after eating. These dishes made by Hu Xianxian are really "wild vegetables", wild vegetables that have not been touched at all.
These dishes are: fennel thick-skinned vegetables mixed with beans, cold salad with hot and sour purslane, stir-fried gray cabbage, dry stir-fried mountain fungus, and Lan Yingying's own fried red amaranth.
When she came back from the harvest, Lan Yingying's palms were sweaty. But they were full of praise for her, saying that they didn't expect these side dishes to be so delicious. One of the guests said that the fried red amaranth tasted a little light.
Lan Yingying happily trotted back with a cleanly eaten plate, "Xianxian, you're really not bad!" You teach me how to cook. ”
Hu Xianxian said "um", "Then you have to apprentice." ”
Lan Yingying touched her head, "You don't need to apprentice, right?" You look smaller than I am. ”
Hu Xianxian turned sideways, "Don't bow down." Aren't you going to help them set up their stalls? Let's go together. ”
