Back home, Cao Ping started to help Uncle Wang clean up the back kitchen, today at noon there are more people to eat, pile up a bowl and chopsticks and plates in the dishwashing pool, open a restaurant, the most troublesome is to wash the dishes, wash the pot, clean up, usually Aunt Wang washes, Wang Yuan is empty and comes back to help, now after the meal, basically there are very few people who eat, so Uncle Wang also went to the back kitchen to clean up. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Wang Yuan sat at the cashier outside, his mobile phone rang non-stop, he was communicating about the group performances in the WeChat group and QQ group, and shouted to Uncle Wang: "Dad! The one I invited today is a production director, he said that he would bring the logistics manager over, this logistics Lao Huang is a distant relative of Director Li, I tried to mention to him about the crew's takeaway, you can make a few more specialty dishes!" Uncle Wang scolded with a smile: "You say yes, don't hurry up to help, you see that your brother didn't drink the water as soon as he came in, he rolled up his sleeves to help, and learned from your brother." Hurry up and wash these dishes. After speaking, I picked up the phone to order food, the dishes in Uncle Wang's restaurant are provided by acquaintances, and I have been dealing with him for many years.
Wang Yuan raised his head and answered twice, fiddled with his mobile phone and sent a few messages, and also moved a small bench to help wash the dishes, two people were faster than one person, and after twenty minutes of washing, they finally cleaned a bunch of dirty dishes.
Wang Yuan stood up with a grin, pounded his waist and said, "Oh, hey, no, my old waist is about to break." ”
Cao Ping has been working for his grandmother since he was a child, often washing dishes, and his physical fitness is super strong, he didn't feel any discomfort, he smiled and said: "Brother Yuan, tomorrow I will ask you to get up and come down to practice boxing with me, practice for a month or two will have an effect, you are lacking in exercise." ”
Wang Yuan said with a bitter face: "Ah, it will take a month or two to produce results? I guess I won't be able to hold on for a week." ”
Aunt Wang also finished washing the stove, wiped her hands and said, "Okay, you two go outside to chat, I'll do the rest." ”
Cao Ping looked at it, and there was only mopping the floor, so after pouring the dishwashing water, he and Wang Yuan came outside.
The storefront on the first floor of Uncle Wang's house is less than 80 square meters, in order to leave enough area, the kitchen is set up in the courtyard inside, a small private room is separated on the right side, and the rest of the place is placed with six small tables and a large round table, which also occupies the space.
Cao Ping and Wang Yuan sat at the big round table, Wang Yuan took the ashtray in his hand, took out the cigarette point, put the cigarette case on the table, and said, "Smoke it yourself." ”
Cao Ping shook his head and said, "I don't actually have any addiction to smoking, and I don't have the habit of smoking when I'm alone." ”
Wang Yuan raised his eyebrows and said: "It's good not to smoke, it's best not to smoke, if you smoke, you can't quit, and it costs money and body." ”
The two were chatting lightly, Cao Ping looked up at the surrounding walls, there were many photos hanging above the cash register, all of which were photos of Uncle Wang and some celebrities, Cao Ping only recognized Cai Guoqing and Zhao Wei, and the others couldn't be named, but many of them were also familiar, and many of them also had Wang Yuan's hippie smile on them.
Wang Yuan looked at Cao Ping's gaze and said with a smile: "Celebrities are too common in Hengdian, the easiest place to meet celebrities is restaurants, basically ninety percent of restaurants can see photos with celebrities, everyone is smart, take a photo can be used as publicity, what a good thing, Hengdian is too small, a TV series is filmed for three or four months, basically you can eat Hengdian all over, and there are only a lot of photos in the restaurants on Wansheng South Street!" By the way, why don't you take a picture of it now, with your kung fu, it's not a matter of time before it becomes popular, and I will have a capital to brag about when the time comes!" Cao Ping smiled and shirked, looking back at those photos, but there was a hint of envy and expectation in his smile, he had never considered being an actor at all, and for the first time he had a little bit of a shy fantasy in his heart, perhaps, in this place in Hengdian, he also had a little bit of the possibility of becoming a major star?
"Oh yes, look at your lewd smile!" Wang Yuan pressed the black screen of his mobile phone and gloated in front of Cao Ping as the mirror came in. "Damn,!" Cao Ping was annoyed and ashamed. Uncle Wang looked at the two laughing and laughed, he was faintly relieved in his heart, he saw something called hope on Cao Ping's face.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, someone came to eat one after another, Uncle Wang went to the kitchen again to get busy, and also began to work on the dishes to entertain guests, although many Zhejiang dishes are fresh to eat, but some big dishes also need time to prepare, such as Dongpo meat to be marinated in advance, simmered slowly, a dish also takes two hours.
At six o'clock, Brother Zhang brought a chubby bald man in his forties and a quirky girl over, Wang Yuan and Cao Ping had been waiting outside the door for a long time, as soon as Wang Yuan saw the girl, he quickly came up with a hippie smile, stretched out his hand to shake hands, and said in his mouth: "Yo! Teacher Li Qian is here, it is really brilliant! Oh, Brother Huang! I am fortunate to be happy! Today is really a distinguished guest! Although my place is shabby, my old man's craftsmanship Brother Zhang knows!" My own food, eat at ease, comfortable!"
Brother Huang looked more kind, and said with a smile: "I have long heard Brother Zhang say that there is a Wang Yuan brother, who is very refreshing, and I have always wanted to find a chance to get to know him, and I am really fortunate to meet today!"
The girl named Li Qian was very familiar, and she shook hands with Wang Yuan and Cao Ping generously, and said with a smile: "I'm here to eat today! I've heard Brother Zhang say many times, saying that Uncle Wang's skills in making fish are a must, and today I finally have the opportunity to taste it, and no one will rob me for a while!" After saying that, he grinned, his eyes bent into two crescents, and a small beauty mole above his lips, which not only did not affect the appearance, but added a bit of playfulness and cuteness. Wang Yuan introduced Cao Ping to the three with a smile, and Cao Ping also greeted them politely one by one, and invited the three into the box while greeting them.
The cold dishes have been placed in the box, which are eight cold dishes, preserved egg tofu, scallion oil broad beans, cold jellyfish skin, braised beef, cucumbers, old vinegar peanuts, cold fern root powder, sweet and sour radish.
After taking a seat, Wang Yuan beckoned and said: "Come on, come on, Brother Zhang and I are old acquaintances, so don't engage in those false things, you are all busy for a day today, hurry up and eat a little first, the hot dishes will be served immediately, Teacher Li Qian, you are from Hunan, try this preserved egg tofu, Hunan cold dishes, do you try it to see if it is authentic?"
Cao Ping smiled and asked, "Brother Zhang, Brother Huang, Teacher Li Qian, it's an honor to meet you today, we are destined to sit together, why don't you celebrate with some wine? What kind of wine do you drink? Yellow, white and red beer? Teacher Li Qian wants to bring you a bottle of coconut water?"
Who knew that Li Qian waved her small hand and said spicily: "What kind of drink, gargle with some beer!"
Everyone laughed at this joke: "Our teacher Li Qian is mighty and domineering!
Li Qian smiled noncommittally and said, "Don't call me Teacher Li Qian, it sounds weird, just call me Xiaoqian or Qianqian." ”
Cao Ping looked very interesting, this girl is also a wonderful person, was about to go out to get wine, suddenly felt that someone under the table touched him, looked down, and found that Wang Yuan secretly handed over the mobile phone, the screen was on, he took the phone, smiled, and went out of the box to see, but it was the Baidu Encyclopedia that was searched, it was Li Qian's information in the room, he instantly understood that this Li Qian was estimated to have met together halfway, and temporarily got up, Wang Yuan quickly searched out her information for Cao Ping to see, how much familiarity, and a little bit of talk. Cao Ping went to Uncle Wang's to get two bottles of liquor, a beer, and took the time to quickly scan Li Qian's information, but found that this girl was not very old, but her acting experience was already very rich, he flipped through the acting experience, and suddenly realized, no wonder it was a little familiar, it turned out that the little mud in "The History of Martial Arts" and the pomegranate in "Li Wei as an Official" were all played by her! Cao Ping was a little excited, this Li Qian was already a star to him, this was the first time he had seen a living star, and he was still eating at the same table! It's a wonderful feeling.
He carried the wine into the box, opened the beer and distributed a bottle to everyone, and after sitting down, he handed the mobile phone back to Wang Yuan from under the table.
Everyone was eating food, chatting about some filming and gossip in the entertainment industry, Cao Ping couldn't understand it, and he couldn't interject, so he listened quietly, secretly remembering the nouns they said in chat. Wang Yuan saw that everyone had poured all the wine, so he brought up the wine and said two words, which were basically polite words such as welcoming a few people to come to the house as guests and coming often in the future. After drinking the opening wine, Uncle Wang has already put the hot dishes on the table, first served four hot dishes, Dongpo meat, pickled vegetables and soup yellow croaker, Longjing shrimp and fire pupil fairy duck, Brother Zhang and Uncle Wang have known each other for a long time, Uncle Wang came in Brother Zhang greeted him, and pulled him to sit down and drink, shouting that he hadn't come to eat the big yellow croaker made by Uncle Wang for a long time, and he must drink some wine with Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang smiled and said that the dish was not finished yet,
Cao Ping stood up and said, "Uncle Wang, you accompany Brother Zhang to drink two cups first, and I'll fry two dishes for you." ”
Uncle Wang was surprised and said, "Ahh......h Okay, huh?"
Cao Ping smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Wang, I have been working with my grandmother in the kitchen since I was a child, and I have also learned a few dishes." ”
Uncle Wang suddenly realized and said, "Oh! Then it's okay, your grandmother's craftsmanship is really amazing! ”
Cao Ping smiled and said to Brother Zhang: "Brother Zhang, I heard you say just now that you are from Sichuan, Sister Qianqian is from Hunan, Brother Huang, you are a native of Zhejiang, and there are most Zhejiang dishes on this table, I will make a Sichuan dish and a Hunan cuisine, can you taste it?"
Everyone was very enthusiastic, Brother Huang was still politely cooking enough, Cao Ping politely said a few words and left the box and entered the kitchen.
