"I went, my father didn't allow me to go, but then he was forced to leave Fenghe Building, and we didn't have much money on our way back to Hangzhou, so we only went a few times." Li Gui said with a sad expression.

Lao Li Tou was forced to leave Fenghe Building? Sounds like a story? Shen Yiyi's life has been settled for the time being, so she has the heart to inquire about gossip: "Why did Li Bo leave Fenghe Building?" Did something happen? ”

"Alas, it's all 'signed' to make trouble." Li Gui sighed, "My father competed with Chef Liu for status and made a bet on the 'sign', but my father lost and had to leave." ”

"'Signing' is a dish?" Shen Yiyi asked, "Take a bamboo skewer and cook the meat?" ”

"It's not." Li Guizhi shook his head.

Well, modern people really can't be too conceited, look, almost make a joke. Shen Yiyi humbly asked: "What exactly is 'signing'?" ”

Li Gui scratched his head: "I can't tell you clearly, let's go, I'll show you." ”

These words were in the middle of Shen Yiyi's arms, and the two came to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, the iron pot of the stove is ready-made, Li Gui beat an egg, stirred it evenly and poured it into the pot, skillfully turned the pot, and spread out an egg cake.

He wrapped some meat filling in an egg cake, rolled it into strips, and showed it to Shen Yiyi: "Miss Lin, look, this is an egg pick." ”

OK, egg skewers, egg meat rolls, Shen Yiyi nodded.

Li Gui scooped water and noodles again, took a rolling pin and rolled it into a thin skin, wrapped it in meat filling, rolled it into strips, and steamed it in the pot.

This time, Shen Yiyi didn't wait for him to introduce, and answered by herself: "This is an interview." ”

So, what is the sign-up?

Li Gui put the egg skewer and the interview sign together, and said: "Which kind of skewer has a thinner skin, that is, the upper sign." ”

"I understand, Li Bo is betting with someone who makes the sign skin thinner." Shen Yiyi was stunned.

Li Gui probably remembered the scene again, and his expression was gloomy.

Shen Yiyi asked curiously: "What kind of sign did Li Bo do at that time?" ”

Li Guidao: "My father is steamed into skin with rice milk and made of sticks. ”

Steamed skin with rice milk, rice rolls? Not bad. Shen Yiyi was even more curious: "The one who won him, what kind of sign did he do?" ”

Li Gui lowered his head and said, "Chef Liu is a sticker made of seaweed. ”

In Shen Yiyi's opinion, the rice rolls are much more technical than the seaweed rolls, but there is no way, people compare the thickness and thinness, obviously the rice rolls made by Lao Li Tou are not as thin as the seaweed.

If only Lao Li Tou could make the thinnest, unsurpassable skin, then he wouldn't lose to anyone...... Shen Yiyi thought about it, took a bite of the egg stick, and praised Li Gui: "Your cooking skills are really good, was it taught by Li Bo?" ”

Li Gui nodded, blushing embarrassedly.

Looking at the sun, it has risen again, it is time to prepare for noon, Shen Yiyi asked: "Ah Gui, what do other people's foot shops sell at noon and at night?" I've only eaten breakfast at a roadside stall, and I've never been to a foot shop. ”

Li Gui thought for a while and said, "The foot shop generally only sells one kind of rice at noon, either chalcedony rice, big bone rice, or soaked rice; In the evenings, they sell snacks. ”

"Just sell one kind of rice?" Shen Yiyi was very surprised.

Li Gui nodded: "The people who come to the foot shop at noon are all people who are in a hurry to continue working when they are full, there is nothing to pay attention to, the easier it is to make an appointment, and save the trouble of ordering food." ”

I see, is it true that the lives of those who patronize the foot shops are so hurried and simple? It seems that she still lacks a deeper understanding of the lives of the people at the bottom of the era, or that they are not living at all, but just living. Shen Yiyi sighed secretly, and then asked, "What is chalcedony rice?" ”

"Chalcedony rice is similar to big bone rice, that is, take the bones and cook it with rice, and add a little chalcedony powder." Li Gui replied while looking at Shen Yiyi, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, fine skin and tender meat, although he was proficient in cooking, he did not have any thick calluses on his hands, and although the clothes on his body were wrinkled, they were all good materials.

Is this a young lady from a rich family, because she was robbed to end up in such a field? Li Gui suddenly remembered his father, although his situation was different from Shen Yiyi's, but they were both rich first and then down, one was obviously the chef of Fenghe Building, but he was reduced to opening a foot shop for a living, and the other was obviously a delicate young lady, but here he was thinking about chalcedony rice. It's just that his father's will is getting weaker and weaker, but the one in front of him has a posture of becoming more and more courageous, why is this......

If Li Gui knew that Shen Yiyi was self-made, and he was a hundred times more depressed than he is now in the most difficult time, he would not be surprised.

However, at this time, Shen Yiyi, the object of his doubts, was still pondering the chalcedony rice, and asked shamelessly again: "Chalcedony, is it stalactites?" ”

Li Gui nodded: "There are ready-made chalcedony for sale outside, all of them are ground, just buy them and use them directly." ”

It turns out that the book says that the ancients used stalactites for food, which is true...... Shen Yiyi thought about it, but was still a little confused: "The bones are buried in the rice, is it convenient to eat?" "Grilling rice with one hand and gnawing on big bones with the other? It's a beautiful picture......

"After the rice is cooked, the bones of the tube are to be taken out." Li Gui didn't laugh at her for being lonely and unheard, and patiently answered, "Some unscrupulous shops will even take a tube bone and use it repeatedly, and the rice will be cooked to the end, and there will be no bone smell at all." ”

I see...... How could she have thought of the picture of chopping rice with one hand and gnawing big bones with the other, it's really ...... Shen Yiyi let herself laugh.

Seeing that she was asking so carefully, Li Gui guessed, "Miss Lin, are you planning to make chalcedony rice?" ”

Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, chalcedony rice is that the poor people can't afford to eat meat, so they have to cook rice with big bones and get a bit of meat smell. In this case, there is no need to sell chalcedony rice like others, let her improve it.

Shen Yiyi thought about it and said to Li Gui: "Go and buy ingredients according to the chalcedony rice, when you buy the bones, remember to pick more meat." Also, buy some cheap rice back, if you use your father's rice, I guess we will lose money. ”

Although she doesn't recognize the varieties of contemporary rice, the rice in the old plum head rice jar has slender grains and a hidden fragrance, and after cooking, it is even more white and flawless, with an elegant aroma, which is definitely not cheap.

"Okay." Li Gui was very tired, but when he locked the four hundred and ninety-five wen in a drawer, the exhaustion was swept away, and he went out to buy vegetables with a hundred times more energy.

Making chalcedony rice, it's just chalcedony, tube bones and rice, Li Gui quickly bought the things back and showed them to Shen Yiyi the same.

"Miss Lin, the chalcedony powder I bought is one without impurities, and it is a little more expensive, ten cents and one tael; The bones of the tube are explained by you, and you want to buy a little more meat, which is also a little more expensive, twenty wen a catty; Generally, the foot shop cooks chalcedony rice, and all they use is brown rice, but I hesitated for a long time, and I still bought a more expensive japonica rice, and the brown rice skin didn't go, how to eat it......"

Li Gui said while looking at Shen Yiyi cautiously, for fear that he would be scolded by her for spending more money - obviously he was the boss, but Shen Yiyi made hundreds of dollars in one go, and he subconsciously took her as the leader.

Shen Yiyi looked at Li Gui, but her eyes were full of appreciation, this child can bend and stretch, not stubborn, but he has his own persistence and a future.

"Just tell me how much it spent." Shen Yiyi patted Li Gui's shoulder and asked.

Li Gui was patted on the shoulder by the eldest girl for the first time, and looked at Shen Yiyi in horror.

Only then did Shen Yiyi react to the inappropriate behavior, and hurriedly said: "Look at me, I actually treat you as a little peppercorn, sin, sin." ”

Does he look like Little Pepper? Li Gui thought about it, not knowing whether to be happy or worried, and wandered for a while before replying: "These ingredients I bought are a total of 1,285 Wen, which can probably make thirty portions of chalcedony rice." ”

He remembered that there were thirty people who came into the restaurant in the morning, so he bought it for thirty.

This kid is so clever that she knows that she has to calculate the cost, so she even reports the number of copies. The more Shen Yiyi looked at Li Gui, the more she liked it, and asked again: "How much does someone else's chalcedony rice cost?" ”

Li Guidao: "The cheapest fifty wen is generally eighty wen, and the most expensive one is no more than one hundred." ”

The chalcedony rice she will make later is definitely worth the price! Shen Yiyi was about to blurt out a hundred wen, but suddenly thought that those poor people bought a bowl of chalcedony rice just to get the taste of meat, and her heart was sour, so she changed her words: "Then let's sell eighty wen too." ”

Although Li Gui followed Lao Li Tou to take care of the foot shop, he never cared about pricing, so Shen Yiyi said that how much money is how much, and he immediately agreed.

At this time, it was still early at noon, but Shen Yiyi turned around and went into the kitchen to make preparations. Li Gui followed in, planning to give her a hand, he has been learning to cook with Lao Li Tou since he was a child, although he has not yet become a teacher, but he is better than ordinary chefs.

Shen Yiyi saw him come in, but she was very surprised: "I'll just boil some soup, I don't need your help." ”

Boiling stock? Isn't it boiling chalcedony rice, why boil stock? Li Gui was surprised, watching her really throw the tube bones into the boiling water and boil them.

said that it was boiling broth, but Shen Yiyi didn't boil it for a few hours, but waited for the soup to get thicker, then turned off the heat and took out the bones and put them in a clean dustpan.

What's to be done? Li Gui also learned to cook for a few years, but he couldn't understand it at all.
