Chapter 42: Surprise

The operation room of Du Ze Butcher's Shop is very large, with a large professional oven and a smoking tunnel, so you can see that the cooked food sold here is really made by yourself.

At the very back of the operation room is a small cold storage with pigs, sheep and cattle cut in half.

Wearing a black leather bag on the outside, pushing a trolley into the cold storage, George glanced at the labels on the upside-down pigs, cows, and sheep, and twitched his nose and said to Zhang Lisheng: "This old guy Roki is really cunning.

Throwing away expired meat is a simple job, but, but, it's not easy, especially now that it's late autumn.

But he can't imagine that even if he doesn't say it, I will definitely fight to do this work with you.

Come and help. ”

Saying that, he selected two pigs, three sheep and a cow that was half the size of a head, and together with Zhang Lisheng, he lifted down the iron hook with difficulty and threw it on the trolley.

"These are all to be thrown away?" Seeing George pushing the cart towards the outside of the cold storage, Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise.

"The shelf life of fresh and frozen meat is seven days, but in order to compete with the big supermarkets, this old guy promised that the fresh meat in Du Ze's butcher shop would never exceed five days, and since he made a promise, of course he had to carry it out. ”

"Then you won't lose it. ”

"Raw meat that is about to expire is usually unsellable, so the clerk can take some for free, but since there is still cooked meat to take, raw meat is usually not cared for.

Is this an unexpected surprise for you? ”

"Of course, George, I was pleasantly surprised. Zhang Lisheng said sincerely.

"But this kind of surprise doesn't happen every day, and many times the meat here is sold at a fixed point, otherwise Old Roki wouldn't buy so much every time. ”

The two talked and walked out of the cold storage, Zhang Lisheng opened the back door, and George pushed a small cart full of raw meat and walked into the bleak back alley of the butcher shop with him.

Pushing the cart to the garbage can, George stood still, and under the light of the flashing headlights at the entrance of the alley, his face was cloudy and said with a serious attitude that he had never shown before: "Listen man, I owe you a favor, that's why I brought you here."

No matter what you need this raw meat for, the future is none of my business. With that, he turned and walked back to the butcher's shop, closing the back door.

Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment, smiled and said to himself: "Interesting guy." He took off his backpack, took out the mountain toad, and put it on the ground.

The mountain toad, which has lost a lot of spirit, has only become a little dull and dull from its appearance.

Zhang Lisheng carefully looked around the narrow alley, and after making sure that it was empty, he began to chant the witch spell with "hiss, hiss, hiss..."

Driven by the witch spell, the mountain toad suddenly opened its big mouth, roared and inhaled a large amount of air, stretched its body to a height of more than two meters, and the giant tongue spewed out continuously, rolled three or two times, and swallowed all the meat on the cart into its stomach.

Zhang Lisheng, who hadn't driven the witch insect for a long time, watched his witch insect devouring blood and food on the side, with a radiant expression on his face, he couldn't help but touch the huge head of the mountain toad, and suddenly vaguely heard it coming from nowhere, "Listen, it's windy outside." The voice of the voice.

Zhang Lisheng was shocked, and hurriedly recited a witch spell to make the mountain toad spit out the breath in his stomach.

'Whoosh..."After a gust of wind, the witch worm quickly retracted back to the size of a football, and the meat in its stomach looked like it had been digested, but the essence only made up for it by a fraction of what was done.

Fortunately, if the mountain toad can replenish one or two percent of the essence every day, it is enough to support Zhang Lisheng to practice with the secret method for four or five hours every night, so that in a year at most, he may step into the realm of the three witches.

Thinking like this, Zhang Lisheng put the mountain toad into his backpack with a smile on his face, carried it on his back, and pushed the trolley back to the butcher shop.

The operation room was empty, George seemed to have sneaked through the side door, Zhang Lisheng thought about it, and slipped out of the side door directly.

The night breeze is cold, and the traffic in the market is more congested than during the day, compared to the car that moves slowly like a snail, Zhang Lisheng, who rides his bicycle smoothly to the nearby Wal-Mart supermarket, can be called lightning speed.

As the branch of the world's largest chain warehouse supermarket in the largest city in the United States, this Wal-Mart is very large, Zhang Lisheng looked at the countless containers around, and then wisely walked up to a shopping guide and asked: "Miss, where can I buy the seasoning?"

"Do you need rice-style, Japanese-maru, Korean, or Chinese seasoning?" looked at the Asian teenager in front of him, and the supermarket shopping guide showed eight teeth and asked.

"Is it all here?"

"Of course, sir, this is the Wal-Mart in New York. The shopping guide said proudly.

"What if I need the seasoning of Huaguo Sichuanxi?" asked Zhang Lisheng tentatively.

"Please come with me, by the way, there are some seasonings in Huaguo Chuanxi because they cannot pass the CFSAN certification, so you may not be able to buy them, sorry. ”

"What is CFSAN?"

"Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, part of the Federal Agency for Food and Drug Administration. The supermarket shopping guide said very professionally.

After that, she guided Zhang Lisheng through half of the store, and finally stopped in a corner, pointing to two rows of shelves, "Okay, we have arrived, the Huaguo Sichuan West seasoning you need is here." ”

"Thank you. Zhang Lisheng said and walked to the shelf.

After taking a closer look, I found that most of the seasonings used to cook rice in Yuwo Village could be found, and even some dried herbal powders that could be used for both medicine and food also appeared on the shelves as cooking condiments.

"Walmart in New York, really, really... Cool!" Zhang Lisheng muttered in surprise, picked out more than a dozen seasonings and dried herbal powders he needed, paid the bill and walked out of the supermarket.

When I got home on my bicycle, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, and Lili, Su Luo and the children were really waiting for Zhang Lisheng to come home and cook.

"Look, our chef is finally home.

Zhang Lisheng, your cooking skills are as good as you told Aunt Lili, otherwise, things will be very bad. Seeing Zhang Lisheng walk into the house, Mi Xue, whose face was angry, shouted loudly.

"Sorry, I went to the supermarket to buy seasonings, I came back too late, wait a while, dinner will be ready soon. Zhang Lisheng was not verbose, he took off his backpack directly after entering the house, ran into the kitchen with the conditioning, washed his hands, quickly took out a few eggs from the refrigerator, beat them into the bowl as a base, and began to make the sauce.

Seeing his similar movements, the family members showed surprised eyes, only Michelle shouted again: "Hey, what kind of powder did you add to the egg, why does it smell so strange, can it be eaten?"

"The Huaguo seasonings I bought at Walmart have all passed CFSAN certification. ”

"What?"

"It is the audit certification of the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition of the Federal Food and Drug Administration. Zhang Lisheng replied that he was now learning and selling.

"Great, Li Sheng, you've only been in New York for a dozen days, and you've become a 'New Yorker' who knows everything, now let's guess who is the ignorant hillbilly in this room?"

"Harry, I think you're itching. ”

Amid the laughter of Michelle and Harry, Zhang Lisheng wrapped the beef ribs in the kitchen bowl in a seasoned sauce, and then fried them in oil to seal the juice.

Immediately after that, some raw white rice was fried in oil, stirred with beef, and boiling water and seasonings were added little by little, and boiled into a pot of beef rice soup like jelly.

"Alright, it's ready to eat. After the rice soup was cooked, he shoveled a few pieces with a shovel and put them in a bowl, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile.

Looking at the black-brown solid paste in the bowl with dense spots and still trembling slightly, Laddy gasped and said, "Are you kidding, right, Li Sheng, in fact, you messed up." ”

"Of course not," Zhang Lisheng smiled and picked up a bowl of beef rice soup, took a big sip, the familiar taste with a slightly bitter taste rushed into his mouth, slid into the feeding tube and fell into the stomach pouch, and soon brought his body a warm and comfortable feeling, "If it is just slaughtered, it is better if there is no bloodletting beef ribs."

However, this is not bad, at least you can eat it, and the freshness and nutrition of the beef in Du Ze Butcher Shop are at least at a low level. ”

Looking at Zhang Lisheng's satisfied expression of devouring the meat soup, Mi Xue said disgustingly: "I won't eat that kind of thing if I am killed, it's not yet nine o'clock, I will order a hamburger takeaway, who else wants?"

As the male head of the family, Su Luo, who was out and about handling cases for a day, felt physically and mentally exhausted, and said with a smile: "Don't be like this Mi Xue, Li Sheng made us beef, beef..."

"Beef rice soup. Lily reminded.

"Yes, beef and rice soup, we should at least taste it, and then say whether it is delicious or not," Su Luo said and walked to the kitchen table to pick up a bowl of meat soup, hesitated for a moment, closed his eyes and took a sip, "The taste is bitter, but when you eat it, it is very fragrant."

This taste is very strange, and speaking of Chinese cuisine, I have also tasted it, but I have never tasted this taste.

It's hard to describe, and it looks like I'm going to have to eat a little more. As he spoke, he drank a bowl full of beef soup in a few sips, and immediately filled another bowl.

"Hey, Dad, you seem to be delicious. Laddy said and walked to the table, picked up a bowl of beef soup and tasted it curiously, "This taste is very strange, hey, why do I suddenly feel warm in my body..."
