Chef of the Metropolitan Water Superintendent Section 34
In the end, in the tug-of-war between the two sides, the curtain ended with one person and half a small dried fish.
Zheng Wan happily returned to the market with his newly earned money to buy himself some fresh vegetables and eggs to use as ingredients for lunch.
When she returned to the back door of the Dushui Prison again, the two people in charge of guarding this time immediately couldn't wait to ask:
"Did the lady take the dried fish she made and sell it this morning?"
"Yes, at the market closest to the capital water supervisor, business is quite good this morning, and I sold everything I did yesterday."
At this moment, there are only three words echoing in the minds of the two: "Sold out." ”
As soon as they got up with the idea of trying, they told themselves that it was gone, like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the two looked up at the sky, forcing themselves not to show a sad expression in front of Zheng Wan.
Zheng Wan looked at the two of them and didn't react, thinking that the two of them were just asking casually, and walked into the door with a happy pace and returned to their residence.
All the money earned today is already one or two, and according to such a situation, it is estimated that the debt can be paid off in a month.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that the shackles on her body were loosened a little, and this feeling of owing money was really uncomfortable.
Then, she pinched her newly obtained broken silver and Tongbao and put them into the wooden box together, and the sound of silver and Tongbao colliding together was particularly pleasant to the ear, and she was comfortable to hear.
"Gollum—"
Until the screams of her stomach woke her up, she quickly put the wooden box containing her money back and hid it.
Getting up to start making her own lunch, she felt that lunch was better to fool around and wait for another good meal in the evening.
And the current situation doesn't allow her to show her strength, it's too late to cook, and it takes a lot of effort to cook noodles, so it's good to eat some pimple soup casually.
Zheng Wan acted quickly, quickly mixing the noodles with water and stirring them into a flocculent shape. Diced tomatoes, minced green onions and garlic.
The pork belly is fried in a wok to make oil, and the color is gradually dyed with a layer of burnt yellow, and then the green onion and garlic are added to stir-fry until fragrant, and then the tomatoes are added to stir-fry together.
Stir-frying tomatoes is more conducive to the dissolution of nutrients inside, so she doesn't stop until the tomatoes are sandy and the bottom of the wok is stained with an attractive red color.
"Wow!"
Only then did the water in the bowl flow down the wall of the wok, colliding with the oil at the bottom of the wok, making a harsh sound, and the water vapor kept churning upwards, spreading to the surroundings with a charming sour smell.
As soon as Zheng Wan smelled this, he felt that his stomach was even hungrier.
As soon as I heard that the water in the wok began to roll, I immediately poured the dough into it, and watched as the originally shriveled small pimple-like dough quickly absorbed water and expanded, and the edges became transparent and full of moisture.
Then it starts to float up from the bottom, adding a touch of white to the sea of red tomatoes, and then adding salt, shrimp powder, and soy sauce to taste.
Looking at it, you know that the pimple should be cooked, and at this time, break an egg, hang it high in the air, and circle around the food in the wok while pouring.
Under the action of high temperature, the egg liquid quickly solidifies and shapes, and the golden yellow also occupies its place inside, and finally sprinkled with a handful of green green onions, and a bowl of fragrant gnocchi soup is baked.
Just by looking at the color, you know that the taste is not much worse.
Zheng Wan held the bowl and continued to suck along the mouth of the bowl, and the tender pimples, egg flowers, and sweet and sour tomatoes became particularly delicious.
Coupled with the pork belly slices hidden at the bottom of the bowl, this bowl has everything.
She drank it one bite at a time, and finally sat back in a chair with her stomach propped up, waiting for the food in her stomach to digest.
When Zhao Qingyou came, what she saw was such a comfortable picture of Zheng Wan, and she couldn't help but smile on her face, in her opinion, Zheng Wan was experienced in cooking, and other places looked no different from children.
"Ahem!"
She coughed lightly twice to remind Zheng Wan of her arrival.
Sure enough, Zheng Wan immediately turned his head after hearing the voice, and when he saw that it was Zhao Qingyou, he immediately showed a sweet smile and said excitedly:
"Sister Qingyou, you're here! Have you eaten lunch yet? Why don't you try your craft, this gnocchi soup is so delicious that you don't want to move. ”
Zhao Qingyou hurriedly pressed Zheng Wan, who wanted to get up, and explained:
"My son is not here to find food with the lady, but there is something I want to talk to the lady."
"Sister speaks freely."
"Can Chef Liu eat the hot dry noodles made by Lady this morning?"
Zheng Wan thought back to the morning and found that he had indeed greeted Chef Liu, who was sure to be holding the food in his hand, so he nodded puzzled.
"Didn't the lady think there was anything strange?"
"No, maybe Chef Liu came from home without breakfast today."
But I felt that something was wrong, after so many years in the public kitchen, it was the first time I saw Chef Liu eating in the public kitchen. The lady must be vigilant, how many years Chef Liu can stay in the public kitchen, it also has a backer. ”
"Who is it?"
Zheng Wan couldn't help but gossip and asked.
Zhao Qingyou had a black line after hearing this, and felt that Zheng Wan seemed to have misunderstood the meaning of his words, and immediately urged: "What the son says, the lady must take it to heart." ”
Zheng Wan nodded, and then quickly said today's battle situation.
"I made a tael of silver today! If the job of selling dried fish can be stabilized, I think the work of the public chef is okay, you see......"
"Lady be cautious."
Zhao Qingyou hurriedly interrupted Zheng Wan's words, looked up and looked around, and found that no one was nearby, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"The lady still speaks quietly, don't say anything about this money-making business, what if it is known by others?"
"However, when I first came in, I met the guards and told them."
"What about the money earned? Did you say it? ”
"That's naturally no, they're not sisters, and this kind of secret thing naturally can't be said."
"That's good, don't say this to the lady in the future, there are some things that you can only know, can the lady understand?"
Looking at Zhao Qingyou's serious eyes, Zheng Wan nodded nervously, and his expression became serious.
Zhao Qingyou dropped his hanging heart at this time, and continued to explain: "It's still Chef Liu's business, the lady must be careful of his subordinates, you don't have to go to breakfast so early every day, you are in charge, it's okay to come late." ”
Although Zheng Wan felt that Zhao Qingyou's reaction was a bit exaggerated, he still nodded seriously, thinking: It seems that the security manager has been waiting in the warehouse early recently, and it is estimated that there will be no major incidents.
Zhao Qingyou felt that he had finished saying everything he had to say, so he left with peace of mind.
Only Zheng Wan was still digesting these words, but her casual temperament was not so easy to change, and after thinking for a while, she found that she didn't seem to have much room to resist no matter what kind of impact it was, especially in ancient times when ordinary people's lives were worthless.
So, quickly leave it behind and fall asleep comfortably.
When the lunch break is over, I quickly start the work I have been preparing for a long time - soaking sour bamboo shoots.
Chapter 30: Red Shrimp
Speaking of which, the spring bamboo shoots have been dried by her for a long time, and they feel a little wilted in their hands.
Zheng Wan came into contact with the familiar feel and understood that the spring bamboo shoots at this time were just right, lifted his upside-down jar, reached into the mouth of the altar and touched it, feeling completely dry.
While it was time to boil the water, she carefully stuffed the spring shoots into the jar, and added the fresh peppers she got from time to time, so that after soaking, the sour bamboo shoots could still have a spicy taste.
After the water in the wok is boiled, add salt and sugar, let it cool until room temperature, and then pour it all into the jar and submerge all the ingredients inside.
Finally, add Sichuan pepper and white wine, and the rest is the effect of waiting time.
Suddenly everything was done at once, Zheng Wan was still a little uncomfortable in the face of such a leisurely situation, thinking that if there was a recliner to put at this moment, she would probably be able to lie on it for most of the day.
Zheng Wan here is enjoying his vacation leisurely, and Cui Zhiyun, who has got clues on the other side, has begun to investigate on the spot.
Cui Zhiyun walked along the most likely Bashui all the way, all the way verdant, it seems to be the wheat planted by the farmer, at this time many households are irrigating the fields, one by one the river water in the Bashui water is poured into the fields, the river water impact of the water and the green wheat seedlings form a beautiful picture.
Du Mingzhao looked at Cui Zhiyun, who suddenly stopped, subconsciously stopped, and looked at the surrounding environment in surprise.
found that he had not yet reached the destination of this trip, and hurriedly reminded:
"Cui Jiancheng, this place is still a hundred zhang away from the cave reported, and it is surrounded by farmers who use river water for water, and if you stay for a while, it is estimated that it will attract their attention."
Cui Zhiyun glanced at Du Mingzhao, who was in a hurry, moved his steps and continued to walk forward, and said coldly:
"Master Du can understand why farmers need irrigation at this time?"
Du Mingzhao can be said to be ignorant of agricultural affairs, and when he suddenly heard such words, he hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound of water all around, trying to get clues.
After realizing that he really had no way to ask for help, he looked at the back of Cui Zhiyun's head with sad eyes, and complained frantically in his heart: Who can understand the taste of being asked about knowledge points when going out with his boss?
"I don't know, I'm ashamed of the saints and the people."
In the end, he still had to give in to Cui Zhiyun and admit his mistakes.
"Master Du does not belong to Sinong Temple, and I don't understand the extenuating circumstances. Now that the winter is past and the weather is getting warmer, it is a key step to bring these wheat seedlings back to green and irrigate them to help this year's harvest. ”
"Cui Jiancheng is really knowledgeable."
"As long as you are willing to bow your head, you can see it."
Cui Zhiyun's fluttering words immediately confused Du Mingzhao, how did he feel that he couldn't understand this sentence at all, and just wanted to ask the specific meaning.
saw that Cui Zhiyun was already walking forward, and he hurriedly quickened his pace to keep up.
The peculiar behavior of the two had already been seen by the farmers in the field, but thinking that it had nothing to do with them, they quickly set their eyes on the river in the field.
Watching the dry land drink the river water with hunger, everyone's faces showed a smile of relief.
The group of people who were in a hurry soon came to the destination of this trip.
Du Mingzhao looked at the black entrance of the cave, and immediately stopped Cui Zhiyun from wanting to be the first to explore the way inside, and reminded:
"The identity of the prisoner is precious, and he is the first one in a certain place."
As he spoke, he immediately snatched the torches from the guards and walked to the cave first.
Cui Zhiyun watched this scene, immediately grabbed another torch, and walked side by side with Du Mingzhao, the opening of the hole at the beginning was relatively small, only able to accommodate two people to squeeze through.
But in the back, the sporadic sunlight shone down through the scattered leaves, forming a mottled mark on the ground.
When Cui Zhiyun saw this picture, he only felt suddenly enlightened, and the dimness and dampness just now seemed to be just their hallucination.
Others were also amazed when they saw this natural cave.
Compared to the narrow outside, and the vines cover it, it is not seen that there is such a wide and dry space inside.
Before it was investigated, everyone also felt that if this place was used as a transit station, there would be some problems with the storage of private salt.
But after seeing the picture in front of them, everyone realized that they knew too little about this place.
