035 Braised pork

Bai Tao had a nightmare, and Bai Mingxuan and Gu Yuhuai didn't know about it.

It's just that in the middle of the night, Bai Mingxuan came back from outside, and vaguely heard painful moans from Bai Tao's room, as well as intermittent crying, and even Gu Yuhuai, who was in the next room, was awakened.

The two glanced at each other, pushed the door lightly and entered, originally thinking that there was someone in Bai Tao's room, but they didn't expect it to be because Bai Tao had a nightmare.

The two big men stood in front of the bed like that, stunned to see Bai Tao crying in his dream, after a moment of helplessness, Gu Yuhuai took the lead in reacting, and dragged Bai Tao up from the bed, first quietly, then slightly louder, and hurriedly shouted Bai Tao's name with some concern.

Bai Tao cried so much, it was something that Bai Mingxuan had never seen before.

So helpless, so desperate.

Bai Mingxuan was suddenly very scared, afraid that Bai Tao would follow his master and sister, until Gu Yuhuai shook Bai Tao awake.

The next morning, Gu Yuhuai appeared in the small restaurant with two big dark circles under his eyes, and soon after opening the door, someone sent a letter, which stated that Bai Tao had opened it personally.

It's a letter from Beijung.

Gu Yuhuai thought about it, probably Hualin's.

Sure enough, Bai Tao opened the letter in front of Gu Yuhuai, it was indeed Hua Lin, but what it brought was not good news, Hua Lin did not come.

Xiao Jiaolong didn't go back, but just went to a letter and asked Hua Lin to take over the small restaurant.

"Alas, I'm one less general." Bai Tao sighed.

Gu Yuhuai stood aside and looked like he wanted to laugh, stretched out his hand to put his hand on Bai Tao's shoulder, and said, "Isn't there still me?" I have been in the market for many years, and there is nothing I can't do, only what you can't think of. ”

"Really?"

Gu Yuhuai raised his eyebrows and shook out the door.

Chen Sui's tables and chairs were delivered three days later, and in the past three days, Bai Tao didn't do anything else, but went to find a down-and-out scholar to make a plaque for the small restaurant that was about to open.

Naturally, the name has already been chosen.

Yunlai Restaurant.

Taken from the meaning of the guest like a cloud.

In her last life, in order to work and study, she went to a small restaurant to apply for a job as a cook, and finally had some savings, so that she could live a good life and change to a bigger house, but she was ended by that thief.

Say you hate that thief, right? It's hateful, but Bai Tao thinks again, if you can, who is willing to take risks?

Probably that's how she should have been.

Bai Tao is a person who is at ease with what she encounters, and after coming to this world, although there are many places that make her feel strange, every night when she lies in bed, breathing unfamiliar air, makes her feel a kind of fear.

But over time, Bai Mingxuan's kindness to her, meticulous care, and the kindness of those strangers, as well as Gu Yu's meticulousness in her eyes, all made Bai Tao have a little more good impression and trust in this world.

The plaque is not too big, and it is not painted with gold, and for this small restaurant, for the three of them, the current low profile is the most suitable.

Hua Lin couldn't come, Bai Tao not only sighed, but also relieved that he could be trusted by Xiao Jiaolong.

In the past, he did it alone, but now with the help of Gu Yuhuai and Bai Mingxuan, Bai Tao only felt that his luck was probably used in this life.

After the newly made tables and chairs were placed, Bai Tao spread out the tablecloth, shook it off vigorously, the light cyan tablecloth unfolded in mid-air and landed firmly on the table, Bai Tao's upper body lay on the table, pressed down the tablecloth with one hand, and quickly slid across the tabletop.

Her speed was very fast, nearly twenty tables, and it took less than half a cup of tea to lay out.

Gu Yuhuai swept the ground with a broom, looking at the newly renovated restaurant, and his mood suddenly improved.

"We'll go grocery shopping in a while, and we'll be able to open tomorrow." Bai Tao grinned at Gu Yuhuai, a neat row of small teeth was exposed, and Gu Yuhuai nodded with a smile.

As for what dishes to buy, White Peach has already prepared the menu.

Their small restaurant focuses on Hangzhou cuisine, and occasionally adds a few spicy dishes, which is a highlight, after all, in Quecheng, spicy dishes seem to be rarely served on the table, but people who like to eat spicy food will definitely have them.

If there is, then her business will not be difficult.

"I have to buy some seeds." Bai Tao walked down the street, with a basket hanging in the crook of his arm, and muttered all the way in his mouth.

Gu Yuhuai asked, "What do you do when you buy seeds?" ”

"Of course, it's just in case of emergency, and we can't buy ingredients all the time, which can be regarded as saving money."

"That's a good calculation."

"Of course, if you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, of course you won't spend money if you can afford it."

Gu Yuhuai pursed his lips and was noncommittal.

However, I have to admit that what Bai Tao said is indeed reasonable, they have just landed in Xiqing, they have nothing, everything has to be carefully calculated, and it is not enough to rely on the money that Bai Mingxuan has worked so hard to get outside.

There is a special street in Quecheng for the people to buy and sell vegetables and meat, and there is no other street, just because it is easy to manage.

Bai Tao walked and stopped with a basket, picking and choosing, and after a while, an empty basket was full, but at a glance it was full of vegetables, and he had to buy some meat, right?

As soon as he walked to the pork stall, Gu Yuhuai took a step forward, grabbed a piece of meat, padded it, and then put it down, and walked to another stall, also grabbed a piece of meat and padded it, after comparing a few of them, Gu Yuhuai returned to Bai Tao and pulled her sleeve.

"Buy this." He whispered.

Bai Tao nodded, she was also a cook who had bought meat, so she naturally knew Gu Yuhuai's intentions in doing this.

"Boss, how much does this meat cost a pound?" Bai Tao poked the meat on the board with her fingers.

"Bawen."

The boss was naked, wearing only a leather apron, sweating profusely, holding a boning knife in one hand, and picking up a piece of meat on the board with the other, and throwing it in front of Bai Tao.

"This one is good, girl, will you buy one?"

"Then this piece, chop it into small pieces." Bai Tao glanced at the board, pointed to another piece of meat, and said, "I also want this piece, remove the bones, leave the fat, and wrap it together." ”

"Okay."

Gu Yuhuai stood aside, looked left and right, and then said: "Boss, we are opening a restaurant, just on Tongqu Street, called Yunlai Restaurant, in the future, the meat of our restaurant will come in from you, what do you think?" ”

The boss raised the back of his hand and wiped a handful of sweat, and said with a sincere smile: "That's a good relationship, I wish you two a prosperous business." ”

"You're welcome." Gu Yu hugged his fists.

The two of them went around again, bought some trivial spices, and prepared to go back.

"You're very thoughtful."

Gu Yuhuai put his hands behind his back, leaned back slightly, faced the sun, and said with a smile: "We just came here, and we have to open our doors to do business, and if we want to live a good life, we have to have a good relationship with these people." ”

"What I'm saying is, in view of your good behavior today, I'll make you braised pork to eat at night."

"Really?!" Gu Yuhuai's eyes lit up.

To be honest, although he has tasted meat along the way, he always feels that something is missing, and now that Bai Tao mentioned it, he realized that he hadn't eaten braised pork for a long time.

When Bai Tao was cooking, Gu Yuhuai was standing behind him.

Bai Tao asked him to do whatever he wanted, and he walked around the kitchen, and finally was pointed out to sit behind the stove and watch the fire.

The kitchen of Yunlai Restaurant is larger than the one in Beirong, Li Zhaoxu left the things as they were, and the knives were well maintained, and it could be seen that the owner took good care of them.

I pad a kitchen knife and am the weight that a white peach takes advantage of.

Because he had already asked the butcher stall owner to help cut them into small pieces, the white peaches only cut the slightly larger ones into smaller ones and set them aside for the hot oil to go into the pan.

Hearing the crackling sound in the pot getting louder and louder, Bai Tao poured down the ginger slices, peppercorns and star anise that had already been cut and prepared, one by one, and the hot oil immediately splashed, Bai Tao only shrank his head back slightly, frowned slightly, and quickly stir-fried a few times with a spatula, and the fragrance overflowed.

Gu Yuhuai, who was sitting behind the stove, stretched out his head.

"The head is retracted, and the oil is splashed carefully for a while, but no one wants you when you break the phase." Bai Tao pointed with a spatula.

Gu Yu raised the corners of her lips with a hippie smile: "If I really break my appearance, I'll suck at you." ”

Bai Tao took a sip and didn't speak, the tips of his ears were faintly red.

The pork went down the palm of the white peach's hand, a series of pots, crackling like the explosion of firecrackers, the white peach took a few steps back, stretched out the spatula, squinted and stir-fried for a while, seeing that the meat gradually turned red, and there was still a little blackening, the white peach was quick to reach out and pour the cooking wine on the side.

Hearing the sound of "呑", a large piece of white smoke rose from the pot, fascinated the eyes of the white peach, the smell of meat came to the nose, the white peach smiled slightly, the spatula was in her hand, as if alive, flying up and down, with a gradually rich aroma, it was enough to make people's appetite move at this moment.

"Go, open the casserole for me." White Peach instructed.

Gu Yuhuai glanced at it, immediately stood up, lifted the casserole with hot water on the side, and stood aside and waited stupidly.

A spoonful of rock sugar, a spoonful of soy sauce, red and white, extremely attractive, Gu Yuhuai only felt that those things that looked the most ordinary on weekdays seemed to have become the most beautiful things in the world in his eyes.

The action of the white peach is very fast, put it on the plate, out of the pot, pour it into the casserole, close the lid, and it is done in one go.

"We'll have to wait!" Gu Yuhuai asked a little stunned.

Bai Tao flexed her fingers, flicked Gu Yuhuai's head, and said, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." ”

In fact, she was thinking about waiting for Bai Mingxuan to come back and eat together.

To be honest, since Bai Tao woke up, Bai Mingxuan rarely seemed to eat the food she cooked, and for some reason, she always felt that Bai Mingxuan seemed to have a fear of her food in her heart.

No, he will be convinced of this bowl of braised pork today!

The white peach, who had made up his mind, kept squatting next to the casserole, lifting the lid from time to time and stir-frying a few times, and then continued to simmer. During this period, Gu Yuhuai's saliva kept surging in his mouth, if it weren't for Bai Tao's guard, I'm afraid his chopsticks would have been stretched into the casserole at this time.

"Why hasn't Senior Brother come back yet?" Bai Tao frowned, seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker.
