Chapter 30 gives: Everything is a floating cloud in front of food

When Xu An was collecting bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest, the third grandmother came from outside the village with a person, and when she saw Xu An, she waved to him.

Behind the third grandmother was a girl who looked about the same age as herself.

On his feet was a pair of black bulky rubber shoes, which were covered with dirt, and the color of the soil was still fresh.

A pair of school uniform pants on the lower body, the cuffs of which are tied inside the rubber shoes. The upper body is a very old flower blossom rich short sleeves.

His hair was tied in two dark braids in front of him, and his exposed skin was unevenly wheat-colored, looking very healthy.

She looks delicate, behaves generously, and laughs very relatablely.

"Third grandmother." Xu An said hello to Grandma Xu and asked, "Is this a relative coming to the house to play?" ”

The third grandmother pushed the girl forward and said with a smile: "Anzi, this is a helper to help you find, do you see if it's appropriate?" ”

Xu An thought about what kind of helper the third grandmother would find for him, tall and short, fat and thin.

But he really didn't expect that the third grandmother would find a girl.

Since she is a helper, she must use the standard of a helper to analyze whether this girl is suitable for the job.

The mud on the rubber shoes hasn't been done yet, and it should be that he was brought over by the third grandmother while still working in the field, and he is a diligent one.

The wheat color on the skin is not very uniform, there are deep and shallow, and it looks like it is sunburned when working, not its own skin color.

Looking at the girl's hands again, the fingers are slender, but the joints are a little thick, and there are a lot of calluses in the palms, which can't be faked.

In addition, the first impression was good, and Xu An was relatively satisfied with this girl.

"Hello, my name is Xu An. Now I am doing a lunch box business, which is a lunch box stall.

Start work at 5 o'clock in the morning, leave work at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and include a lunch at noon, with a probationary period of 251 days and a probationary period of 31 days.

Your main job is to help prepare food and sell lunch boxes together.

Are you okay with any of this? ”

The girl should have heard the third grandmother talk about treatment and work matters, and after hearing Xu An's inquiry, she didn't hesitate at all, and said categorically: "Yes." ”

At 4:50 the next morning, the alarm clock rang on time, and Xu An woke up on time and pressed it off in time before the alarm clock went off for the second time.

As soon as he sat up, Xu An heard a knock outside the courtyard door.

When I opened it, it was the girl recommended by the third grandmother yesterday, and today was the first day of work.

The girl was standing outside the courtyard gate with a 28 bar, wearing a straw hat, and there was a lot of dew on the straw hat, so she must have been waiting outside the door for a while.

The girl pushed the 28 bars into the yard, parked against the wall, turned to look at Xu An and asked, "What am I going to do now?" ”

Xu An took out two large bags of tenderloin from the kitchen freezer and put them next to the well.

"The main dish of today's lunch box is sweet and sour tenderloin, you can clean the meat, and then cut it and wait for me to marinate."

"Okay."

The girl quickly poured the meat into the plastic basin with her hands and feet, grabbed the pressure rod on the wellhead and pressed it down, and the well water poured on the meat.

After cleaning up all the hair, broken bones and other debris attached to the meat, clean it again with well water, and then remove the meat and put it in a clean basin.

I took out the cutting board and was about to cut the meat, but the girl's movements suddenly stopped.

'What kind of dish is sweet and sour tenderloin?' What does it look like? How should I cut it? Cut into strips, chunks or grains? ’

When Xu An came back from washing, he saw a bright light illuminating a clearing in front of the courtyard.

A girl with braided hair held a kitchen knife and looked thoughtfully at the tenderloin on the cutting board, and did not take the knife for a long time.

"What's the matter, what's wrong with the meat?"

"Boss, I haven't seen this dish of sweet and sour tenderloin, and I don't know how to cut this meat." The girl raised her head, held the knife, and said with a serious face.

......

The two stared at each other for three seconds, Xu An took the kitchen knife handed over by the girl, and cut two strips of meat about ten centimeters long and one centimeter thick.

"That's all it takes to be the length and size."

The girl took the kitchen knife and cut out strips of meat of about the same thickness with some rustiness but firmness.

Xu An looked at it for a while and felt that there was no problem, so he went back to the kitchen freezer and took out two pots of old tofu soaked in water.

There was movement at the courtyard door again, and when he turned his head, it was Xu Heping who pushed the door in.

Yawned as he walked, rubbing his face violently with his hands: "Anzi, what are you going to cook today?" ”

When the words fell, Xu Heping realized that the person who was cutting meat was not Xu An, but a strange girl.

"Hello, my name is Liang Dani, I am a helper just hired by the boss, and today is the first day of trial work." Liang Dani looked at Xu Heping, who was obviously a little unclear about the current situation, and took the lead in speaking.

"Hello hello, your name is a bit retro hahahaha." Xu Heping, whose brain was suddenly short-circuited, directly said the complaint in his heart.

Liang Dani should have encountered many similar situations, so she just smiled at this, picked up the kitchen knife and continued to process the tenderloin on the cutting board.

Xu Heping hurriedly walked into the kitchen and put his arm on Xu An's shoulder and whispered: "You kid is fast enough, he just said yesterday that he wanted to increase the number of people, and today people will come to work."

Why didn't you tell me in advance, I was taken aback when I just came in. ”

"Why didn't I tell you, what did you do yesterday?" Xu An shrugged his shoulders and shook off Xu Heping's hand on his shoulder.

After deciding to help the workers last night, Xu An wanted to talk to Xu Heping.

As a result, Xu Heping's house was still locked by General Tie, the big banyan tree at the head of the village, and the pond behind the village did not see any other figures.

"Hey, hey." Xu Heping knew that he was wrong, so he stopped quibbling, and after washing his hands, he was busy with Xu An.

What Xu An is ready to make now is fried tofu balls.

Crush all the old tofu, add the chopped carrots, ham, chopped green onions and appropriate seasonings, and stir them well.

Through the squeezing of the index finger and thumb and the tiger's mouth, it is pressed into round balls.

Pour half a bucket of soybean oil into the iron pot, heat the oil to 70% hot, and fry the meatballs until golden brown.

The fried tofu balls are done.

The tenderloin that Liang Dani handled has also been marinated, and the marinated and starched tenderloin is placed on the edge of the stove.

Heat the oil pan again until it is 60% hot, pour the tenderloin into the pan and fry it over low heat until golden brown, remove it and set aside.

Leave an appropriate amount of oil at the bottom of the pot, add sugar, tomato paste, white vinegar and water to boil thick and frothy, and the tenderloin sauce is ready.

Pour the freshly fried tenderloin back into the pan and stir-fry evenly, making sure that each loin is coated in the sauce.

After filling the bowl, sprinkle a handful of white sesame seeds on top of the tenderloin, and the sweet and sour tenderloin is completed.

Then there is the spicy fried dried radish, which is diced and stir-fried with onions, garlic, green peppers, etc., and it is done.

The last one is rice, which needs to be boiled in two pots.

Now that the big iron pot has been replaced, one pot is equivalent to the amount of the previous two pots. However, due to the sharp increase in the number of lunch boxes, it is still necessary to cook two large pots.

While cooking, Xu An and the three began to box the cooked dishes.

At half past nine in the morning, after the rice was boxed, Xu An opened the table, took out the dishes and chopsticks and shouted to everyone: "It's time to eat!" ”

In order not to be late this morning, Liang Dani got up at half past four, and rode over directly without breakfast.

When I came here, I was busy doing four and a half hours of work, although it was not heavy work, but it was still quite physically exhausting.

Coupled with the constant attack of the fragrance coming from the kitchen during work, Liang Dani was already so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back, and she felt that she was going to starve to death on the street in the next second.

At this time, he finally heard Xu An's shout of 'open rice', and without the slightest hesitation, he picked up a wide-mouthed bowl with an ancient style and a rooster print.

Thinking that it was not good to eat too much on the first day of work, Liang Dani compacted the rice.

Normally, this bowl is about seven or eight taels of rice, and the bowl of rice in Liang Dani's hand weighs one catty, two or three taels.

Before eating, I was still thinking about being reserved, but when a mouthful of tenderloin entered my mouth, Liang Dani's sanity disappeared.

With the three dishes on the table, I hummed and ate two full bowls of compacted rice, and finally a big bowl of Huaishan bone broth.

After the soup was full, Liang Dani collapsed on the chair in satisfaction.

This meal was so refreshing!

Taking this job is the wisest choice in her life!

What gets up at half past four, what daily wage is only thirty yuan, in front of the food, it is all floating clouds!
