Chapter 210: Only Food and Love Can't Live Up
After taking a turn upstairs, Jiang Yu returned to the first floor, ready to make a dish of stir-fried bacon with fresh vegetables and pear artemisia for the students before the cafeteria opened.
This dish can be said to be the favorite of Jiangzhou people, every spring time, whether it is in the vegetable market or in the restaurant, everywhere is filled with the unique fragrance of pear artemisia.
If you are interested, you can even see some restaurants on the streets of Jiangzhou simply using "fried bacon with pear artemisia" as a store sign.
It can be seen that the phrase "the grass by Poyang Lake, the treasure of Jiangzhou people" is really not a casual talk.
When Jiang Yu came to the kitchen on the first floor, it was probably Hu Zhihai who had already shown off his life, and after Lu Shuwu saw Jiang Yu, his face was full of resentment:
"Boss, can you take me with you next time you go out to play? I'm similar to Lao Jia, I've been here in Jiangzhou for more than half a year, and I've never gone out. ”
Hearing him say this, Jiang Yu also felt that Lu Shuwu was quite pitiful.
He came to Jiangda in September last year to visit his little sister, but he was suddenly hooked by the soup dumplings made by Jiang Yu, and since then he has been "bolted" in the canteen, from the second canteen to the seventh canteen, he followed all the way, and almost never went out.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yu glanced at him with some sympathy, nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll come to the first floor to stir-fry next Saturday, give you a day off, you can go out for a walk."
“……”
Lu Shuwu was speechless, what I was thinking was that you took me out to play, what was the point of me running out by myself?
Besides, if I run out alone, who will make me something to eat?
"Forget it, forget it, I'm not going on vacation."
He hurriedly waved his hand, and pointed to the fresh bamboo shoots brought in by Hu Zhihai and said,
"Why don't we fry this bamboo shoot in a while? You've eaten so much delicious food at noon, you have to save a little for us to taste! ”
As soon as Lu Shuwu said this, everyone else in the cafeteria also looked over with bright eyes.
Fresh spring bamboo shoots are tender and fresh, even if they are fried casually, they are delicious, but if you let Jiang Yu make them, how delicious will they be?
Just thinking about it, people can't help but swallow their saliva!
"Okay, anyway, that's it, let's fry it and eat it ourselves, and besides, this fresh bamboo shoot is not resistant to putting it, and the more you put it, the older it gets."
Jiang Yu didn't object, he was going to cook another dish in the evening, since everyone wanted to eat bamboo shoots, then it was done, he said,
"You take these bamboo shoots to the side dish room, let Uncle Ma and them help deal with it, and when I make the pear artemisia, we will make our own dishes."
"Oh, good!"
When Lu Shuwu heard this, he immediately picked up the entire plastic bag and left happily.
After walking two steps, he suddenly remembered something, and turned his head to Jiang Yu and said,
"Oh yes, boss, when Boss Zhao delivered the vegetables in the morning, he said that there was a batch of fresh Qingming grass here in their distribution center, and the quantity was quite large, let me ask if you need it, if not, he is ready to sell it."
"Qingming grass?"
Jiang Yu was also stunned, and then remembered that the Qingming Festival was coming in two days.
Qingming grass, also known as Qingming vegetable and rattle grass, is also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, which has the effect of nourishing yin and invigorating qi, relieving cough and reducing phlegm, and also has a certain effect of cooling blood and detoxifying and lowering blood pressure.
Qingming grass is all over the north and south of the river, and can be seen everywhere on the slopes of the field, and only before and after the Qingming Festival is the most tender period of Qingming grass.
At this time, the Qingming grass leaves are tender and juicy, and the flour or glutinous rice flour on top can make a fragrant delicacy - Qingming fruit.
Since Qingming grass is also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, this kind of grass is also artificially planted, like Lao Zhao in the fresh distribution center, there is a high probability that it is also artificially planted, otherwise, it is unlikely to be able to harvest such a large amount at one time.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Yu nodded and said to Lu Shuwu, "Okay, I know, I'll call Boss Zhao in a while." ”
Since there is Qingming grass, of course, it has to be pulled back to make Qingming fruit, and let students from the north and south of the river taste this unique taste of spring.
"Oh, okay."
Lu Shuwu didn't care if Jiang Yu wanted Qingming grass or not, his mind was now full of how to make this wild bamboo shoot delicious, whether it was fried bacon, or fried with sauerkraut and beef?
The tender bamboo shoots seem to be delicious no matter what...... There are so many ways to do this, I don't know how to choose!
Alas, what a sorrow!
Jiang Yu didn't care about this, after washing his hands, he got the hot oil and prepared to start stir-frying.
After the oil in the pot is heated, first add the sliced bacon and stir-fry it into a transparent color, and then add the pear artemisia, leek head, and millet pepper.
After stir-frying for a while, when the unique fragrance of pear artemisia emerges in the pot, then put the leek leaves cut into segments, stir-fry together until the leeks are broken, you can add an appropriate amount of salt, monosodium glutamate and light soy sauce, stir-fry evenly again, and then put it out of the pot and put it on the plate.
Of all the combinations of vegetables and bacon, probably only pear artemisia has reached the highest level.
The salty and soft bacon sets off the maverick aroma of pear artemisia, the pear artemisia is like a green ribbon, the tender green is shiny, the bacon is golden and slightly white and slightly transparent, and then lined with the red and fiery Chaotian pepper, this dish of pear artemisia fried bacon has become a good product on the table, which makes people have an appetite suddenly.
"Wow! It's so fragrant, I can't help but drool when I smell it! ”
"The aroma of this pear artemisia is really strong, people who haven't eaten it are really not used to it!"
"The more people who aren't used to it, the better, so I can eat a few more bites!"
“……”
As soon as this dish was put on the plate, Lu Shuwu, Hu Zhihai, Jia Dequan and others ran out of the side dish room, Jiang Yu didn't know what these people were thinking in their hearts, and when they were on the plate, he had already divided some and put them on a large plate alone.
The dishes in this tray are to be sold at the window, and those that are packed separately are reserved for oneself to eat.
"You can't move now, wait for me to stir-fry a few more dishes, and then eat it when everyone comes back for dinner."
He turned his head and glanced at a few people, pouted and said,
"If a few of you can taste it now, I guess it won't take you more than five minutes, and you will have to snatch up this large plate of dishes."
When Lu Shuwu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh "hehe": "You can't blame us, who made your dishes so delicious?" ”
"That's it, that's it!"
Hu Zhihai, who has always liked to work against Lu Shuwu, rarely expressed his agreement on this issue.
"We don't want to rob it, but we just can't help it!"
Jia Dequan listened to the words of these two people, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "If you are greedy, you will be greedy, and you have to find such a lame reason for yourself, young people now!" ”
Jiang Yu didn't bother to pay attention to them, turned around and continued to stir-fry.
And in the hall of the seventh canteen, it was already crowded and noisy at this moment, and in front of the dining window, a long queue had already formed and extended to the outside of the gate.
In the more than half a year since the opening of the No. 7 Canteen, more and more students have come to eat, and it has become more and more difficult to eat here.
"I struggled so hard not to come to the seventh canteen to eat, it's only been a week, and there are actually more people here to eat!"
"Isn't that normal? In the past, there were not many people who came, because the winter was too cold, and many people were reluctant to run, but now the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and there are so delicious meals here, if you don't come, there is a problem with your brain! ”
"I've decided to go to graduate school, and I'll start reviewing from tomorrow, and in order to save time, I won't be able to come here to eat in the future, alas!"
"Hehe, it's right that you don't come, you have to line up in advance to eat at the seventh canteen, if you eat three meals a day here, how can you still have time to review?"
"The entrance examination is also to be able to stay in school for another three years, in order to be able to eat more meals from the seven canteens for a few more years in the future, I will endure it!"
“……”
A few students who were queuing up were chatting, and the window in front of them had already begun to eat, so everyone quickly took out the campus card from their pockets, and slowly moved forward while thinking about what to eat later.
At this moment, the students who were cooking in front of them suddenly let out a cheer of surprise:
"Wow! Today there is fried bacon with pear artemisia, it is really fragrant, it is delicious when you look at it! Quick, get me one! ”
"Hold the grass! This fried bacon with pear artemisia looks very good, and I want one too! ”
"'The grass of Poyang Lake, the treasure of Jiangzhou people', I haven't eaten fried bacon with pear artemisia, which is equivalent to never being to Jiangzhou!"
“……”
Listening to this shout full of joy, the students in line were also in a commotion, and some of the students who were at the back of the queue shouted loudly:
"Leave a little for the people behind us, we want to eat pear artemisia too!"
"Alas, next time I have to come to the queue early, every time I get to the back, the delicious dishes are basically gone!"
"Who knew there would be fried bacon with pear and artemisia today? If I had known there would be a new dish tonight, I would have come early! ”
"I heard that this pear artemisia was specially purchased by Senior Brother Jiang for everyone to taste, so that everyone can feel the breath of spring!"
"Woo woo, I don't want to feel the breath of spring, I want to taste the taste of spring!"
“……”
The students who were still in line were restless, while the students who had already prepared their meals were smiling and carrying full plates, and quickly came to the dining area to find an empty seat and sat down.
Taking a deep breath, the students picked up the fast seed and stuffed a quick pear wormwood into their mouths, and just after a few bites, they couldn't help but exclaim:
"Wow! This pear artemisia is crisp and refreshing, with a strong artemisia fragrance, and the mouth is full of fresh aroma when you eat it, it is really delicious! ”
"The fragrance of pear artemisia, the spice of leeks, and the salty aroma of bacon are simply intoxicating when they are combined in the mouth!"
"The first time I ate fried bacon with pear artemisia, I didn't expect this dish to be so delicious, it is so fragrant, and it tastes endless!"
“……”
Smelling the aroma of pear artemisia in the canteen in the nose, and listening to this sound of praise in the ears, the students who were still queuing up couldn't bear it anymore, and kept swallowing saliva in their mouths, and many people's stomachs were "growling" non-stop, as if there was a frog hidden inside.
Several girls who were queuing anxiously watched the progress of the meal in front of them, and chatted a few words from time to time:
"I heard that Senior Brother Jiang had a day off today and went out to go out, but I didn't expect to come back in the afternoon and give us stir-fry, it's really good!"
"Senior Brother Jiang is already very good, like everyone wanted to eat a fat reduction meal before, so he made a fat reduction meal, and some time ago he made spring rolls......"
"Yes, yes, you see, didn't you make fried bacon with pear artemisia again today? It's just that we're too late, and I don't know if we can taste it? ”
"Stir-fried bacon with pear artemisia is fine, what I'm thinking about now is that it will be the Qingming Festival in a few days, and I don't know if Senior Brother Jiang will make Qingming fruit......
"Qingming fruit! Ah, I love to eat! ”
“……”
A dish of fried bacon with pear artemisia made many students who came to the seventh canteen happy, and even their appetite was more than a little better than usual.
Luo Xiaoyu, Zhu Youfeng and others, who had a large plate full of food, found a seat in the dining area, and as soon as they sat down, they buried their heads in eating.
After eating for a while, he felt a little bottom in his stomach, so Zhu Youfeng raised his head, exhaled comfortably, and said with some emotion:
"I didn't expect the business upstairs to be so busy, Senior Brother Jiang was actually willing to take the time to come down and cook for everyone, fortunately, we came over to eat today, otherwise how could we eat such delicious fried bacon with pear artemisia?"
In order to be able to eat the meals cooked by Shangjiang Yu from time to time, Zhu Youfeng racked his brains and came up with the idea of "sharing a box", and built a QQ group of "sharing a box" among Jiang University students, attracting more than 20 like-minded students to "share a box".
So far, this "shared box alliance" has only been consumed once in the No. 7 dining room, and the most critical reason is that the box in the No. 7 dining room is too difficult to grab.
Zhu Youfeng and the others originally thought that there was a lot of strength in a large number of people, and there was a great chance that a large number of people could grab the box.
But in fact, the base of their 20 or so people is too small compared to the thousands of "fans" of the seven canteens inside and outside the school, and the chance of grabbing the box is also very small.
For example, this morning, it was the first day that the No. 7 dining room restarted the box reservation, and more than 20 of them got up early, and before the appointment time arrived, they each held their mobile phones and kept making calls, hoping to connect once and grab a box.
It's a pity that what they heard in their ears was not the sweet voice of the waiter in the No. 7 dining room, but the busy sound after the phone was busy.
The box can't be booked, and the meal still has to be eaten.
On the days when they couldn't go to the No. 7 dining room, their group of people either ate a little casually to fill their stomachs and pull them down, or they still chose to come to the No. 7 dining hall to eat.
Regardless of whether Senior Brother Jiang is on the first floor or not, there is no doubt that the food in the Seven Canteens is always the most delicious and rich in the Jiang University Canteen.
But today, without warning, he was able to eat the dishes made by Senior Brother Jiang himself, it was purely an accident!
"Ah, what a good meal! This pear artemisia is so fragrant, crispy and tender, with salty and fragrant bacon, it is really a must! ”
After Luo Xiaoyu sat down, he ate most of the meal in one breath with his head down.
After listening to Zhu Youfeng's words, he eased down a little, took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped the grease stains on the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile,
"The upstairs is not open today, besides, the No. 7 dining room is Senior Brother Jiang's, and the canteen on the first floor is not Senior Brother Jiang's?
The palms and backs of the hands are all meat, how can you favor one over the other? ”
Hearing this, Zhu Youfeng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly burst into laughter.
Luo Xiaoyu is not wrong in what he said, the entire Seven Canteens belong to Senior Brother Jiang, where does he cook and not cook?
What's more, Senior Brother Jiang thinks more about the students of Jiang University, otherwise, with his skills, why stay in the school to run the student canteen?
Thinking of this, he nodded and said:
"You're right, the box in dining room No. 7 is getting harder and harder to book now, so let's not worry too much about it in the future.
If you can book a private room, that's the best, you can't book it...... Then there are at least seven canteens, although the food here is not as good as the upstairs, but it is also rare to eat.
Moreover, who knows when Senior Brother Jiang will be in the mood and run down to cook again? ”
"Well, I think so too, to put it cheesily, the family spends money to send us to college, not for enjoyment, but for learning, we can't keep our minds on this."
Luo Xiaoyu took a bite of food into his mouth, and said while chewing slowly,
"Even though I'm only a sophomore, I have to work hard to get my grades, and even if I can't get into college, then I have to prepare for the graduate exam in two years' time.
A few years later, if we really leave school to work after graduation, and then we want to eat the food cooked by Senior Brother Jiang, it will be even more difficult than climbing to the sky! ”
Zhu Youfeng suddenly burst out laughing, he pointed at Luo Xiaoyu with his finger, and quipped:
"Speaking so seriously, I really thought you didn't even quit food, it turns out that you plan to study hard to be admitted to the graduate school of this school, just to eat more meals in the Seven Canteens for a few more years!"
Luo Xiaoyu smiled "hey": "Of all things in the world, only food and love cannot be disappointed." ”
Isn't the purpose of a person's hard work to eat better, sleep more soundly, and be with his beloved forever?
……
The noise in the cafeteria hall, Jiang Yu didn't pay much attention to it.
As a chef, cooking is your job.
Even though he was going to graduate school in the second half of the year, he always considered himself a cook.
This is not because of the food system on his body, but after half a year, Jiang Yu himself has discovered the joy of cooking.
Seeing an ordinary ingredient pass through his own hands and turn into a delicious dish with attractive color and aroma, which makes everyone around him salivate, the psychological satisfaction and sense of accomplishment are intoxicating.
For example, at this moment, Jia Dequan, Lu Shuwu, Hu Zhihai, Ma Guoqiang and others, holding large bowls of rice in their hands, surrounded the various fragrant dishes that filled the operating table, one by one, they were like flying, eating with their mouths full of oil and intoxicated.
Today's staff meals in the canteen were made by Jiang Yu himself.
In addition to the stir-fried bacon with pear artemisia, he also made several dishes of fresh bamboo shoots brought back, not only the fried bacon with fresh bamboo shoots that he had eaten at noon, but also several dishes such as spring bamboo shoots and beef brisket pot, stir-fried fresh bamboo shoots with sauerkraut, pickled Du Xian, spring bamboo shoots with green onions, shredded bamboo shoots with pickled peppers and cold fresh bamboo shoots.
If you take away the dish of fried bacon with pear artemisia, this is purely a spring bamboo shoot feast.
Not to mention Hu Zhihai and Lu Shuwu and others, even if it is a master of Hubei cuisine like Jia Dequan, he seems to have never eaten a spring bamboo shoot banquet in his life.
"I didn't like to eat bamboo shoots very much before, I always felt that there was an astringent taste, but I didn't expect the bamboo shoots made by Lao Jiang to be so delicious, and there are so many ways to eat them!"
"I've only eaten stir-fried bacon with fresh bamboo shoots and stir-fried fresh bamboo shoots with sauerkraut, and it's the first time I've tasted the other methods, and today is really a blessing!"
"Xiao Jiang's craftsmanship is becoming more and more unclear, this spring bamboo shoot banquet covers a lot of local characteristics, ordinary chefs can't do it at all, Xiao Jiang not only made it, the key is that the taste is better than that of local chefs, and you can't accept it!"
"This bamboo shoot is so tender, it will be broken when you bite it lightly, and it has a fresh sweetness in your mouth, no wonder the giant panda likes to eat it so much!"
"Giant pandas don't just like bamboo shoots, they also like to eat bamboo, why don't you try some of them too?"
“……”
Although a group of people kept chatting, they were not slow at all, Hu Zhihai scooped a spoonful of spring bamboo shoots and beef brisket and covered it with rice, and Lu Shuwu took a big piece of fresh bamboo shoots and fried bacon and put it in a bowl.
Ma Guoqiang is even more, he directly digs a few spoonfuls of sauerkraut and fried fresh bamboo shoots, and eats a few spoonfuls of bibimbap, and eats "hiss" constantly, but he still refuses to stop.
However, this group of people is still a little measured, after all, there are still several work-study students in the sales room, and they haven't had time to eat yet.
After Hu Zhihai and the others were full, they had to hurry over to replace them so that the students could also have dinner earlier.
This group of people was eating happily around the operating table, but Jiang Yu didn't come over to join in the fun, after he finished cooking, he took his mobile phone and went out to call Boss Zhao in the fresh food distribution center.
Lu Shuwu mentioned it to him before, saying that Boss Zhao had a batch of fresh Qingming grass on his side and asked him if he wanted it, and he called to reply to the other party.
Jiang Yu first asked about the quantity of this batch of Qingming grass, and after feeling that he could almost make a batch of Qingming fruit, he directly responded and asked Boss Zhao to send the Qingming grass and other ingredients early tomorrow morning.
The production process of Qingming fruit is more complicated, if you want students to eat the green, sweet and glutinous, fragrant Qingming fruit tomorrow, then you have to start working early tomorrow morning.
After making the call, Jiang Yu was about to go back to the kitchen to eat something, when the mobile phone that he had just put in his pocket rang again.
He took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and was stunned for a moment, how could she suddenly remember to call herself?
The name displayed on the mobile phone is Liu Xining, a popular singer in the current entertainment industry, and she can be regarded as Jiang Yu's senior sister.
When the school held a welcome party a year ago, Liu Xining was also invited back to school, and she came back with a quirky singer Xie Siqi.
After these two people came to Jiang University, they were still in charge of receiving Jiang Yu's seven canteens, and for this matter, the school also specially transformed the storage room on the first floor of the canteen into a large box.
Until now, Jiang Yu often goes to this box to drink tea and rest!
Liu Xining and Xie Siqi had a meal here at the Seven Canteen, and praised the food here in front of the camera of the live broadcast Internet celebrity, which suddenly made the reputation of the Seven Canteen skyrocket, so that more and more people came to eat here, so that the school had to restrict the entry and exit of people outside the school.
This Liu Xining has only met with herself once, what does it mean that she suddenly called herself?
