44. Fruit season
Zhao Zheng was actually very depressed.
He had made a great contribution in Longtou Township, so he was very happy when the promotion and callback orders that had been delayed for three years finally arrived. This time his new position was in the Nanjing Military Region, so soon he was in Jiangsu.
Although the bad luck is that the boss is considered to be the opponent of his family in the faction, this problem has not hit him. What made him depressed was that not long after he arrived here, he didn't receive a single serious errand, but suddenly received an order for him to come to this town to pick up people.
Pick up people, pick up people, I thought it was not a big guy who secretly came to the town to inspect, but when I got the list of people, I found out that I was still an acquaintance!
He didn't really know what Qin Lin was about, but everywhere he went, he could see the situation where the upper echelons gave her the green light, and it was hard not to think of the mysterious Qin family. Although the current family has withdrawn from the political arena on the surface, the so-called hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, who knows if there is anything involved behind it.
Among this wave of people, the one who made him fearful was the kid surnamed Qi. The surname Qi itself is not too rare, but if it is linked to the Qin family, then it can only be the Qi family. It's just that what he doesn't understand is that with the situation of the Qi family, how can he let the children in his family be so mixed outside.
Of course, this is not in his purview, and he doesn't have that much gossip to pay attention to. As long as he takes the people out of the local police station according to the requirements of the leaders and makes sure that they are all safe and sound, the task will be completed.
But even then, it still didn't make him feel better, especially when he saw one of the guys he hated the most when he stepped into the house, and he yelled at him as if he didn't want to see him. God knows, he doesn't want to see him too!
Zhao Zheng, who was in a bad mood, also ignored Director Xie's apology and walked directly to Qin Lin. No matter how big the power behind Qin Lin is, she is just an ordinary person to the outside world, so he didn't follow the rules of the army's superiors and subordinates, but naturally lowered his posture and apologized to the other party. Sure enough, Director Xie stiffened all of a sudden.
Seeing that the old thing who stabbed Lou Zi was frightened by success, Zhao Zheng felt a little more relieved. glanced at his watch and discussed with Qin Lin: "Sister Qin, it's almost noon when you see it." We, Political Commissar Wang, have instructed you and your friends to be shocked. But here is a small place, there are no good things, you may have to be wronged at noon, let's go back to Nanjing in the evening, Commissar Wang set up a banquet for you, and then make amends to you. ”
The queen didn't pay so much attention to it, as long as she could get out of here and move forward undisturbed. Go back to Nanjing with Zhao Zheng or something, the things here are not over yet, and she can't agree.
However, the other party is also well-intentioned, and it seems unkind to refuse directly. Raising her eyes, she noticed Director Xie, who was already sweating and sweaty, and a smile appeared on the queen's face: "I'm really sorry to alarm the political commissar Wang, and I shouldn't disturb it at night." Otherwise, Director Xie seems to have made some arrangements, let's not brush off his kindness, just listen to Director Xie's arrangement. As for Political Commissar Wang, he has to bother Mr. Zhao to accuse him on his behalf. ”
The queen did not use her position to call Zhao Zheng, which made it clear that although she used her own relationship in this matter, she did not want to involve the police on the surface, and Zhao Zheng understood it, so she didn't mention it again.
However, Director Xie originally heard Zhao Zheng say that even the political commissar Wang of the military region would come to Qin Lin to make amends, and he already felt that the future was completely bright. As a result, he didn't expect Qin Lin to start talking for him as soon as he turned around, he was simply grateful to Dade, where did he dare not do his best, and immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, yes!" It's our honor that we don't do our job well, and Sister Qin doesn't dislike it! ”
Pity the half-old man, who shouted at a girl who looked about the same age as his daughter, and it was estimated that he had never suffered this crime in his life.
Hao Dong and the others all listened to the queen, and Zhao Zheng gave in to the queen again, seeing that she was resolute, he no longer insisted. After hanging up the phone in Nanjing, together with Hao Dong and his entourage, accompanied by Director Xie, they went to a quasi-five-star hotel with the highest local specifications.
This kind of meal is obviously not the best, but the most expensive. This Director Xie also knows what low-key luxury is, and he didn't make a table full of rare items that could make people grab the handle. Each of the dishes served looks like ordinary home-cooked dishes, and you will only find it when you eat it, and the ingredients used are the freshest and best in the same category.
The queen actually doesn't care about what she eats, her purpose is to show Zhao Zheng, so that she can directly give this matter; Another thing is to take advantage of Director Xie to soften at this time and ask him more about St. Paul's Hospital.
The queen and Director Xie were talking, and Zhao Zheng frowned when he heard that the local garrison had also been transferred to guard the hospital: This is a violation of discipline when he hears it, and since he knows it, he must find out. For a while, the three of you came and went, and the conversation became lively.
Hao Dong and the others listened and ate at the same time, and there was no chance to interject. Ergou's eating appearance made people want to draw a line with him the most, Hao Dong subconsciously moved closer and closer to the direction of Qi Jue, and then found that Xiao Qi Ye didn't seem to eat much.
To say not hungry is unlikely. Although the lunch box in the morning was very porcelain, they were all people who could eat it, and it was impossible to say that they hadn't digested it for half a day. Hao Dong understood after a little pondering, although the ingredients for this table were the best, after all, it was a small place, and the level of the chef was not enough to heat it, and the taste was relatively heavy.
Ergou, who also has a heavy taste, eats very satisfying and has no image, but the queen's chopsticks are not very moving, and the basic sandwiches are vegetarian dishes. Although Hao Dong himself was not so picky, he had been drinking water after eating for a while.
Qi Jue basically didn't pick anything to eat before, but during this time, he gradually got used to Hao Dong's cooking skills, and when he encountered something that didn't taste good enough, he would subconsciously eat less.
When Hao Dong saw this posture, he estimated that he would have to find a way to make a meal for them after leaving for a while. Instead of looking for a kitchen in a restaurant or hotel with relatively modest conditions, it is better to borrow a hotel kitchen. Anyway, looking at Director Xie's attitude towards the queen, it is estimated that the old man will not refuse if he wants him to wrap up the whole place for them.
Thinking of this, he first asked the waiter to take a look at the menu - even if he planned to make some himself, he couldn't thank the director too much.
At a glance, I found that it was already a little troublesome to use my brain to adjust the main dish, basically the dishes were all ready, and there was just a nourishing black fish soup, which may need to be lit, so it was not served yet.
The queen was using a gentle attitude to force Director Xie to break the news as much as possible, Zhao Zheng also listened to it with relish, Hao Dong could only make his own opinion, and asked the waiter to pay attention to the kitchen to make the soup as much as possible not to be too salty. Then she asked if she could borrow their kitchen and make two desserts by herself.
If it were in normal times, the waitress girl would definitely not pay attention to it. However, today's situation is special, the people in this room have been directly taken care of by their manager, and the little girl does not dare to refuse without authorization, so she can only nod and run to the leader to ask.
Ergou is a natural foodie, and when he heard Hao Dong's movement, he immediately became energetic. The prawns stuffed with a mouth full of prawns couldn't take care of swallowing, so he pulled Hao Dong and asked, "What are you doing?" "Those eyes lit up.
Hao Dong couldn't cry or laugh: "Let's go to the kitchen first." Today's dishes are all salty, and the dim sum is also radish shredded cake and wowotou, and I want to make some dessert. ”
Ergou nodded again and again: "Okay!" It's almost summer, make some lotus seed soup. ”
Hao Dongyi: "This is not something I can say, it depends on what they have to do." ”
Director Xie vaguely heard their discussion, and immediately became nervous again: "Is the dish unappetizing?" I'll ask them to change ...... right away."
The queen had to stop him immediately: "It's okay, the food is good." My little brothers just have a lot of things, you don't care, just let them toss by themselves. ”
In fact, she didn't eat much, although it was not enough to say that she was still hungry, but since Hao Dong was willing to make some dessert supplements, she was naturally very welcome.
The little girl returned a short time later, followed by their foreman and manager. After all, the kitchen is the top priority of a hotel, and it is not reasonable to borrow it.
However, when they saw Director Xie who stared at and criticized them for not being able to do things, they didn't have much to say, so they directly asked Hao Dong to go to the back kitchen with them to see what kind of needs they had.
When Hao Dong stood up, Qi Jue, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Fruit." ”
Hao Dong was stunned for a moment, and then he was happy, he knew what to make desserts.
May and June are the seasons for all kinds of fruits. As a quasi-five-star hotel, the warehouse in the back kitchen is still relatively well stocked, from pineapple and watermelon to strawberry cherries, and almost all the fruits on the market are available here.
Hao Dong looked around and decided what to do: one was a comprehensive fruit sago with an overly salty taste, and the other was an apricot mille-feuille crisp that could really be eaten by the queen and Qi Jue.
Sago dew is easier to make, soak the sago in water first - it is okay not to soak it, but Hao Dong has other preparations to do, soak it first, which can save a little time - and then pick the fruit and cut it into pieces.
Apples, bananas, pineapples, watermelons, these regular fruits are naturally necessary; The pears are grainy, and no one in the team particularly prefers pears, so they simply give up; Fresh lychees should be peeled some; Mango also cut some; Strawberries also have to be washed, and this is not directly boiled inside, but when they are ready, they are sliced and placed on the surface to decorate.
Others, such as plums and peaches, are not suitable for putting in fruit soup. Hao Dong nodded, and felt that the variety of fruits was enough, so he began to prepare to start.
Joyful Little Theatre:
Handmade Chocolate for Dessert
One Valentine's Day, the queen suddenly had a whim.
Queen: Hao Dong, come and teach me how to make handmade chocolate.
Hao Dong (surprised): Ah, okay.
Queen (frowning): Why? It's not that you're forced to sleep with me, what are you so nervous about.
Hao Dong: No, no, no!
Queen:...... Be careful! That's a hot iron pot! Don't grab your hands directly!
Hao Dong: !!!!!!!!!!!!!
After a rush.
Hao Dong: Sister Qin, why did you think of making handmade chocolate?
Queen: What? No?
Hao Dong: No...... It's like, it's quite surprising. (Inside: I'm still scared, sister!) )
Queen: Oh.
Hao Dong: This, are you going to do it for Xiao Qiye? (Inside: Finally asked!) Although it feels strange in my heart. )
Queen: Huh? Your mold is interesting, mine is with you!
Hao Dong: Huh? Hey, no, it's ......
Hao Dong roared in his heart: That's a little crocodile pattern, sister! Shouldn't you make chocolates for your sweetheart in the shape of a heart?! How do you give me a heart-shaped mold for me? How can the heart-shaped chocolate be divided with the two dogs?! You can't let me do it all by myself! You're going to get worm teeth!!
Queen: Well, that's cute!
So the queen took the small crocodile mold filled with chocolate liquid and put it in the refrigerator to cool, and when it was over, she went directly to her room.
Hao Dong: ...... (Inside: So what the hell are you thinking, sister?!) )
The elusive little Qi Ye suddenly flashed.
Qi Jue: Hmm? Well!
Hao Dong: !!!!!!!!!
Hao Dong continued to roar in his heart: Little Qiye, where did you come from? No, that's not the point, the point is Xiao Qiye, how did you manage to stuff the whole plate of chocolate from the mold into your mouth in one go?! Even if your teeth don't hurt, won't you feel tired?!
So it was an incredible Valentine's Day that a stupid housekeeper had ever lived.
