Chapter Seventy-One: The Amateur Cook
Su Yuanqiao pinched his pocket and calculated, there should be a balance of 10 yuan.
So I opened the door and walked into the small restaurant.
The front desk of the restaurant greets you, and there are no customers at the four tables in the empty hall. The proprietress was burying her head in the front desk to settle accounts, and when she heard the door ring, she didn't raise her head and said, "We are closed, and the chefs are already off work." ”
Su Yuanqiao rubbed his hands and sat down on the stool on the side.
"The chef is off work, the ingredients are not off work, just get something to eat."
"I won't do anything."
Su Yuanqiao is also speechless, you don't know anything, you still open a restaurant, then you are not bullied to death by the chef, when you are serving guests, the chef comes to raise the salary, you don't add him and don't do it, then what do you do right?
If you know how to stir-fry, even if it's not noisy, even if the chef doesn't do it, you can at least come up on top.
And you can cook, at least the amount of food cooked by the chef, whether the amount of food you buy can be right, you can also have a count in your heart......
There is a joke in Su Yuanqiao's hometown that the chef steals things, steals hats while cooking, puts eggs in his pants, and ties his large intestine to his waist as a belt.
"It's okay, I'll do it myself."
Saying that, Su Yuanqiao didn't see outside, slapped his thigh and stood up and went straight to the kitchen, and after a while, a burst of fragrance wafted from the kitchen, and the proprietress put down the pen in her hand and went into the kitchen.
I saw that Su Yuanqiao had already adjusted the seasoning and waited for the noodles to come out of the pot.
"Why does your noodles smell so good? Bring me a bowl too. ”
Su Yuanqiao stretched out his hand and made an OK pose.
In fact, it looks simple below, but in fact, it is not as simple as boiling the water and putting the noodles in, there are still some tips in it, and Su Yuanqiao also specially consulted the master who specialized in the noodles back then.
Because he always remembered that Su Xueer liked to eat noodles very much.
After a while, Su Yuanqiao brought out two bowls of steaming and fragrant noodles, which were actually very simple, and the clear soup noodles were sprinkled with shallots, and the taste was adjusted with soy sauce and vinegar.
Add a poached egg to each.
There was nothing else.
However, Su Yuanqiao is very skillful, the yellow cornmeal with green shallots, and a white poached egg, just visually makes people move their appetites.
"It looks good, I'll try it."
The proprietress took a bite of the noodles first, her eyes lit up and she took a bite of the poached egg, she was still heartbroken, and she couldn't help but give Su Yuanqiao a thumbs up.
"You're a good craft, aren't you also a chef?"
"No, just play around, just have fun." Su Yuanqiao didn't tell a lie, he really learned cooking purely to see if he had a chance to show it in front of his daughter.
"How did you get this noodle? It's strong and fragrant, and the noodles I cook are always mushy, and sometimes I forget to cook them and it's a big lump, and I feel disgusting to eat. ”
"It's not difficult, put a little salt before putting it in the pot, so that the noodles are not easy to rot, and they are also relatively strong, and a drop of oil, the noodles will not stick together when they come out of the pot, and the most important thing is to add a little vinegar when seasoning, because the noodles are alkaline, and the taste can be neutralized with vinegar."
"You must be a cook!" The hostess is also asserted.
Su Yuanqiao didn't bother to deny it, one of the philosophies of life is never to quarrel with others.
If you can win the quarrel, then there is no such thing as a court in this world.
While eating, a few more people came in as soon as the door was pushed, wearing blue overalls, and some of them came in with a little stain.
"It's closed, it's time to get off work!"
The hostess is still those few words.
One of the tall and thin men pointed to the noodles that Su Yuanqiao was eating and said, "Just bring us a bowl of this noodle, if you have wine and cold dishes, you can also bring us some." ”
The proprietress looked at Su Yuanqiao.
Su Yuanqiao knew what the proprietress meant, and he didn't want to let anyone go when he came to business, but in the end, the decision was up to him.
So Su Yuanqiao Hula took the rest of the noodles into his mouth and went into the kitchen without saying a word.
This time, the proprietress was happy.
It doesn't take much to draw the scoop according to the gourd.
But since you want to do it, then make a full set of Su Yuanqiao It's okay to be idle anyway, and if you go, you can go outside to sit, so it's better to take this opportunity to warm up indoors.
After the person turned around and left, he told the proprietress that it was okay to sleep in the store.
In the past, when Su Yuanqiao was just starting from scratch, he ran a business, and slept in all kinds of food, and this kind of hardship was not unsuffered.
The noodles were very fast, and then Su Yuanqiao made a cucumber, fried a peanut, and the oil could not be wasted, and saw that there were two big chicken thighs in the refrigerator, and after taking them out, he put them together with the red pepper and made a not very authentic, but delicious spicy chicken.
When Su Yuanqiao came out, those people had already made a case of beer and drank it there.
"The boss has good skills, this cucumber is delicious enough, and the peanuts are crispy enough!"
Su Yuanqiao smiled at these home-cooked dishes, in fact, there are some skills in it, like some people use a knife to cut the cucumber, there is no soul at all, the cucumber must be patted with a knife, so that the juice of the cucumber and the sauce are mixed together to have that feeling.
Like fried peanuts, add a little salt and you have a soul, which can be said to be the finishing touch.
There was this table at the beginning, and then there were two more tables one after another, all of which were workers from the night shift.
Su Yuanqiao really thinks of himself as a cook, and he will cook whatever dishes are in the kitchen.
At the beginning, there were green peppers, so stir-fry the shredded pork with shredded meat, and then the green peppers were not enough, so they took the cabbage in to make a small fried meat.
Later, when the meat is not enough, then use cabbage to make shredded cabbage.
This all, the beer is not less, and in the end, the cost of a table is more than 40 yuan, and the gross profit of the proprietress is more than 100.
You know, this is the 90s, and a bicycle is only more than 160 yuan.
Just the bowl of noodles that Su Yuanqiao ate just now, if you buy it normally, it will cost 6 cents.
The small wontons eaten at night are only 8 cents a bowl.
Of course, in such a comparison, Ruan Biyan spent more than fifty yuan on a taxi at night, and it really seemed to have a grudge against money.
The proprietress smiled, today's income in one night can be worth the usual three days, and this is just a supper!
Especially those guests who usually eat see the proprietress who looks quite standard, and from time to time they will make a little bit of a joke on their mouths, and some of the bold hands are not very rude, today Su Yuanqiao stopped here, nothing happened.
Suddenly, Su Yuanqiao's vision was a little wrong.
"Big brother, are you from out of town and haven't found a place to live? You tell your sister the truth, there is no shame in having difficulties when you go out. ”
