Metropolitan Water Superintendent Chef Section 12
After Liu Quan enjoyed the delicious taste between his lips and teeth, he raised his eyes and saw Niu Xinlu's tangled expression, and asked puzzledly:
"Niu Er, aren't you hungry yet? I don't know what Zheng Niangzi's soup is made of today? Sweet and delicious, sweet and silky, it is a treasure in the world. ”
Hearing this, Niu Xinlu couldn't help but explain: "It's made from the fish we just caught from the river." ”
Liu Quan's movements as he held the bowl instantly stiffened, and he looked at Niu Xinlu in disbelief.
Niu Xinlu also responded to the other party with a firm gaze.
Liu Quan quickly returned to a relaxed state, took another sip into his mouth, and exclaimed, "I don't know how Mrs. Zheng can make the fish so delicious?" I'm afraid that the drinking and feasting in the drunken sky tower in the city is nothing more than that. ”
The fish soup in his mouth was so delicious that he couldn't mix it with the fish made by other people.
It's so delicious, it's too embarrassing for him to give up like this because of the shadow of his past.
At this moment, Niu Xinlu didn't care about anything else, looking at Liu Quan's faint posture of going to the second bowl, he felt that he didn't have to be so particular, wasn't it just a fish? Others can't eat it if they want to.
Aiming at the mouth of the bowl and drinking a shallow layer of fish soup, the umami instantly danced on the tip of his tongue, making his eyes can't help but shine brightly, staring at the fish soup cake in front of him with burning eyes.
I only feel that Liu Quan's evaluation just now is too shallow, not to mention the drunken Xiaolou, I am afraid that the people of the Heavenly Palace will not be able to enjoy such deliciousness.
The next scene is a little indescribable, the two look at each other like a scramble to eat breakfast, you chase me, in the end it is Liu Quan who wins, shouting to the side: "Another bowl!" ”
found that no one responded to him at all, and looked to the side, the place where the food was served was already surrounded by water, and the noise was endless, and his little volume could not attract the attention of Zhao Qingyou and the others at all.
In the end, I had to wait in line for the next bowl with peace of mind, Liu Quan and Niu Xinlu didn't figure it out, obviously they came earlier today, why did they still need to queue up for the same meal as yesterday?
Zheng Wan was also surprised by the two of them, she looked at the few people who came back earlier than yesterday, and asked in surprise:
"The breakfast prepared today is already sold out by this time?"
Zhao Qingyou nodded heavily, twisted his sore wrist, and breathed a long sigh of relief before answering Zheng Wan's question.
"Mrs. Zheng doesn't know how delicious the fish soup cakes she made are, and today's fish masters and the women who are fighting for the remnants of the cloth in the cloth village are no different, and they almost can't cope with it."
The others nodded in agreement, with a hint of joy in their sad expressions.
"You have worked hard today, there is still fish soup and cakes left for everyone in the back kitchen, go and enjoy it!"
"Thank you, Mrs. Zheng."
Hearing that he still had something left, the big guy rushed to the location of the stove excitedly, even Zhao Qingyou was no exception.
When the chef's breakfast was over, Zheng Wan also left the kitchen and returned to his room, taking out the small dried fish that had been left overnight.
She tried to try one of the small dried fish even after leaving it overnight, and the taste was very good.
Thinking that these small dried fish are not easy to store, she decided to set off with all the small dried fish, which is estimated to be about ten catties, and I don't know how much she can sell them.
Thinking of this, Zheng Wan took the snacks he had made with great difficulty, and according to Zhao Qingyou's prompts, he came to the small market closest to Dushuijian, where everything was sold, but most of them were vegetables, eggs, chickens and ducks brought by the people from home.
The appearance of her small dried fish here should not be very abrupt.
She first rented a stall with the guards who managed the market, and settled it once a day, this model cost two cents a day, if she hadn't had Cui Zhiyun's reward last night, she would have almost been caught blind again.
Then he bought a large bundle of leaves that could not be eaten or drunk with a penny, found his own stall, and put the cloth bag he brought on a stool and spread it out.
Zheng Wan looked at the crowd coming and going, used his 0-year skills, and actively shouted:
"Delicious little dried fish! Crispy and crunchy dried fish! You will never forget it. ”
Suddenly, the clear female voice sounded on the street, which attracted the attention of passers-by in an instant, and everyone raised their eyes to look at the place where the sound came from, and saw an ordinary cloth bag in front of the girl, which contained a burnt yellow thing.
There are those who like to taste new things the most, and when they heard that there are new foods, they curiously walked towards Zheng Wan's location.
When I took a closer look, I found that it was a small fish that everyone was not happy to eat, and his eyes became cold, and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes when he looked at Zheng Wan.
"Yo! What is the little lady selling? ”
Zheng Wan doesn't care what the person is thinking, as long as someone is willing to try, her business can be officially opened, and he actively introduced:
"This is a small dried fish made by Er himself, Lang Jun don't look at its appearance, it is actually crispy and salty. If you don't believe it, Lang Jun can taste it at will. ”
As she spoke, she took out a handful of small dried fish from the bag with the leaves she had bought, and handed it to the visitor.
At this time, the dried fish was only a palm's throw away from the question, and suddenly a breeze blew, and the burnt fragrance that could not be concealed drifted to the tip of the nose with the wind.
The questioner couldn't help but swallow his saliva, looked at Zheng Wan and said, "Since the little lady said so, you should try it." ”
Raised his head and stretched out the leaves in Zheng Wan's hand, pinched the head of a small dried fish, divided the head and body of the fish, and took a bite gently.
The body of the fish broke and fell into his mouth in an instant, and he felt the crispness between his teeth, his eyes lit up, and he subconsciously crushed it again with his teeth.
A burst of umami broke out with the rupture of the fish's body, accompanied by a special crispiness and dry aroma and salty freshness, and after a while, a small dried fish was swallowed into his stomach like this, and he felt that he had not tasted enough, and there was nothing.
Moreover, he could clearly feel that this little dried fish did not have any fishy or bitter taste at all, and it was completely different from the fish he had eaten before.
What's more, with his foodie intuition, this kind of small dried fish must have a unique flavor as a snack with wine.
He hurriedly said to Zheng Wan before the others could react:
"Little lady, bring me two packs of dried fish."
"Thank you, Lang-kun."
Hearing that the other party was going to buy it without even asking the price, Zheng Wan immediately showed a bright smile on her face, and the joy that radiated from the depths of her heart without scruples infected the people who saw her.
Cui Zhiyun, who saw this scene around the corner, recognized it at a glance as the lady of the public chef last night, said a word to the guards behind him, and walked to the water supervisor alone.
At this time, Zheng Wan was quickly packing small dried fish for the man, for the sake of the other party being her first guest, she packed the leaves in bulging bags, and at a glance she knew that there were a lot of things hidden in it.
handed it to the person, and explained with a smile on his face: "Originally, there was a pack of two articles, for the sake of Lang Jun being the first guest, two packs of three documents, thank you Lang Jun for taking care of the business." ”
"You little lady is so good at trading!"
The other party was also pleased with Zheng Wan's kind words, and after paying, he quit the crowd and did not forget to promote the deliciousness of dried fish with others.
At this moment, when the others heard that there was a advantage to take advantage of, where could they take care of anything else, and shouted at Zheng Wan: "Then what good will we do later?" ”
"Today is the first time to do business, thank you for taking care of the business, it must be full, so that everyone will not feel that their money is wasted."
Hearing this, everyone's enthusiasm was even more surging, and they couldn't wait to squeeze directly into Zheng Wan's face.
Zheng Wanna was also painful and happy, and after a while, he sold the small dried fish he brought this time to less than half a catty.
Just when she thought that today's business was over, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of her, and a cold voice came from above her head, "The rest, so-and-so is all wanted." ”
Chapter 15: Money
She looked up at the passers-by, dressed in a sharp beard, and the people who came to it were full of momentum, which was very different from the clothes of the people who bought dried fish just now, and they were rich when they looked at it.
With a smile on his face immediately, he quickly wrapped all the remaining small dried fish with his hand, handed it to the person, and explained:
"Lang Jun Cheng Hui Shiwen."
Then a string of ten cents quickly appeared in Zheng Wan's hand, and the five packets of dried fish disappeared, disappearing from her sight in a blink of an eye, leaving her with only the strong back of the guest.
If it weren't for the scruples that this was not a private space, she really wanted to laugh out loud, throw away those small dried fish for free tasting, and earn a total of 190 Wen today, you must know that in just one morning, she will soon catch up with her salary in the capital water supervisor for a month, no wonder people say that the food stall is the most profitable, and it is not a dream to make a fortune if it continues with the current situation.
With such a good mood, Zheng Wan hummed a song all the way back to the Dushui Prison, and before he reached his room, he was quickly pulled aside by Zhao Qingyou on the path.
Zhao Qingyou looked at Zheng Wan's empty hands, and knew that today's business must be very prosperous, but she was still very curious about the specific situation, and couldn't wait to ask:
"Mrs. Zheng, have you sold out all the dried fish you brought today?"
Zheng Wan couldn't suppress the joy in his heart at this time, and laughed directly:
"Hahaha! Yes, Sister Qingyou. All the ten catties of dried fish I brought with me today were sold out, and the business was not good. This is the money I earn today, and it's yours. ”
As she spoke, she directly grabbed a handful from her purse and put it in Zhao Qingyou's palm.
Zhao Qingyou struggled and was unwilling to open his hand, and politely refused:
"This little dried fish is all your idea, how can you divide the money, but it's just to watch the fire and kill the fish for a while, and it doesn't take much trouble at all."
At this moment, Zheng Wan's face also became serious, and he said righteously:
"This is what belongs to Sister, yesterday I stayed up with my son until my eyes were red, this is what you deserve, if it weren't for Sister Qingyou, it would be impossible to earn so much money today."
Under such persuasion, Zhao Qingyou's heart also began to loosen, but feeling the heavy weight in her hand, she felt that it was still too much.
Pushing his hand in front of Zheng Wan, he explained: "Then it doesn't have to be so much, at most one day's wages can be paid." ”
As he spoke, he was about to return the extra part in his hand to Zheng Wan's hand.
How could Zheng Wan agree, and quickly withdrew his hand, "That's just right, it's just twenty or thirty yuan, the business here is big, and the daily salary is also large, and you have to help your sister in the future, so don't shirk it." ”
With such successive impacts, Zhao Qingyou also began to accept Zheng Wan's proposal, and hurried to make a decision before tomorrow.
"Then even if it's two days' wages here, if you pay the wages tomorrow, you won't be charged."
Hearing this, Zheng Wan could only pout helplessly, saying that this business is too small and too short, and in the future, Sister Qingyou will understand what a lucrative business it is.
As soon as he finished saying this, Zhao Qingyou hurriedly said goodbye to Zheng Wan and hurried to work on lunch.
Zheng Wan was also a little dazed, she suddenly felt as if she could go out to eat some special food, why did she come back so early? Eat Chef Liu's special "delicacies"?
As soon as she separated from Zhao Qingyou, she quickly turned around and walked to the back door, following the fragrance in the air, and suddenly walked to a small stall set up on the street, the owner was an old couple.
Seeing her sit down, she hurriedly shouted enthusiastically: "What does the little lady want to eat?" The most sold in this stall is mutton cakes, which are delicious, and even those people in the imperial city are good at this bite. ”
Hearing the word imperial city, Zheng Wan's eyes widened in surprise, and he thought: No matter when you do business, you don't forget the celebrity effect.
However, smelling the smell in front of her, she was also very curious about this mutton cake, and nodded at the woman's eyes.
"Then a bowl of mutton cakes."
"Okay!"
Just when Zheng Wan was waiting for his lunch, the water supervisor who didn't know the truth mistakenly thought that the breakfast had improved, and the chef's lunch would not be bad.
At first, they didn't smell the familiar fragrance in the courtyard, and everyone thought it was just an accident, but when they saw the familiar dishes on the table, they immediately lost their appetite.
Even though they are all made of fish, you can feel the umami of the fish soup cakes in the breakfast.
At this moment, the fish in front of him are lying on the plate wrapped in broken skins, their eyes are protruding, exuding a strange light, and there is a fishy smell all over their bodies, and with their white and cyan appearance, it is even more appetizing.
Some unwillingly asked the handyman who was cooking: "Why is there such a big difference between breakfast and lunch?" Even if there is a little fish soup left over from breakfast, you can take it out and deal with it. ”
The handyman who was questioned turned pale and pale, he really didn't know what he should say, you must know that he was dead set on following behind the second disciple of Chef Liu, and he thought that he could bring himself in the future.
Hearing someone say that his "master's" cooking skills were not good, he really wanted to refute it, but the person who came was an official of the grade of the capital water supervisor, and he could only be choked so that he couldn't say a word.
