Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 83: Live Roast Goosefoot

"Of course it is!" Meng Shuangshuang was very dissatisfied with the old man's questioning, "except Ning Xi, who else can cook such delicious dishes in this restaurant?"

Boss Cai of Tongxing Building also confirmed: "Yes, this little girl really made this dish."

"Good! Good!" The old man stroked his beard and praised, "The little girl's craftsmanship is really good, I hope we can have a future!"

Ning Xi said with a smile: "If you have a chance to see you again, next time I will cook delicious dishes for you." Rather than cooking for ordinary people, it is more fulfilling to cook for this kind of glutton who really knows how to appreciate it. what!

Meng Shuangshuang said: "Boss Cai, since we have made dishes that satisfy your guests, can we write off today's bill?"

"This is natural." Boss Cai said, "The girl's craftsmanship is so exquisite, I must be here to participate in the cooking competition, right?"

"That's right." Ning Xi nodded.

"It's just that there is still more than a month before the start of the cooking competition. I wonder if the girl has any plans for this more than a month?"

Ning Xi said: "There are no special arrangements, just walk around and have a look, taste the local delicacies, and explore the unique local ingredients."

Boss Cai said: "It's not that Cai is boasting. If you want to talk about the leader in local cuisine, this restaurant must be the restaurant. Local ingredients, this restaurant also has everything you need. Cai has an unkind request. I don't know if Miss Ning has it. Interested in listening?"

"Oh? What did you say!"

"If Miss Ning has nothing to do during this time, can you come to our restaurant to help? In terms of salary, we will never treat the girl badly." Boss Cai said.

"Haha, you really dare to think that if we want Ningxi to be your cook, it depends on whether you can afford it." Meng Shuangshuang said disdainfully.

Ningxi asked her quietly: "All the silver taels we brought are gone?"

Meng Shuangshuang suddenly lowered her face: "I'm sorry, Ning Xi, I don't know why this happened."

Ning Xi patted her on the back: "Forget it, you can have as long as you want in the future." He turned to Boss Cai and said, "Boss Cai, I don't know how my salary is calculated if I cook here with you. ?"

"Our chef's monthly silver is 22 taels a month. If the girl comes, I will give you 30 taels, how about it?" This price is not low, if Ningxi and the others save a little Spend, this money is enough for them to spend until the end of the cooking competition.

Rong Daquan slapped his chest: "How can you let a woman work for others, let me do it!"

"You?" Boss Cai looked at the fat man with some doubts. It seemed that he was more like a chef than Ning Xi.

Ning Xi didn't really want to be a cook for others. Seeing that Rong Daquan took the initiative to ask Ying, he smiled and said, "This is my senior brother. The cooking skills are only better or worse than mine. Why don't you let me cook this month? He'll be your cook!"

"Really the girl's senior brother?" If it was true, Boss Cai would rather be honored. After all, Ning Xi was young and not strong enough. He was afraid that she would not be able to do the kitchen work!

"Why, don't you believe Boss Cai? Brother Rong, go and show him a hand." Ning Xi said.

"Okay!" Rong Daquan responded while rolling up his sleeves.

"No, no, can Cai still believe what Miss Ning said? If you have no problem, come to work tomorrow!"

"Hehe, Boss Cai." Ning Xi said, "Our entanglements have just been stolen, can you give us half a month's wages in advance?"

"Ah?" Boss Cai was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "No problem, I'll ask the accountant to give you some money right away, but this chef Rong's chef license, can you..." The chef said that he works in a restaurant, It is also customary to put the chef's card at the restaurant. Rong Daquan didn't think there was anything wrong. After taking the money, he generously handed his chef's card to Boss Cai.

The three of them left Tongxing Building after agreeing to go to work the next day.

Meng Shuangshuang apologized to Rong Daquan all the way: "I'm sorry, Brother Rong, we came here to have a good time, and it made you go to the restaurant to work. It's all my fault, I shouldn't do this. Careless."

"Forget it, forget it." Rong Daquan said indifferently, "It's not a big deal. It's good to take this opportunity to see how other people's restaurants are doing and learn more."

Ning Xi said: "Brother Rong, you can think so. Let's learn more about the good experience in other people's restaurants and use it in our own restaurant!"

In the next few days, Rong Daquan went to work in Tongxing Building every day, while Ning Xi and Meng Shuangshuang, with his hard-earned blood and sweat, began to wander the streets and alleys for food. There are little-known but very authentic delicacies in the streets and alleys.

For example, Grandma's shrimp wonton noodles at the entrance of the alley, the silver noodles are soft and elastic, the soup is made of earth fish, shrimp shells, shrimp, pork bones, soybean sprouts and ginger, boiled for a long time, The taste is absolutely fragrant and delicious. The wonton skin is very thin, and it becomes transparent when cooked, and you can see the original color of the filling inside.

My grandma is getting older and only sells wontons for one hour a day. Every day when the door is opened, there is a long queue at the door. Ning Xi and Meng Shuangshuang also got up early before finally eating one. back.

There is also Yunxiang mung bean paste that can only be eaten here. Yunxiang herb is commonly known as stinky grass. The taste of the whole pot of mung bean paste will immediately improve and become otherworldly.

The most popular stalls in the night market are beef offal stalls, order a bowl, and the stall owner picks up large pieces of beef lungs or intestines from the fragrant beef soup, and the big scissors make a "chacha" sound , cut the beef offal into a bowl, the beef lungs are the most refreshing and the cartilage is the most brittle, add a few pieces of radish and gluten, take a spoonful of soup, drizzle it with hot sauce, and eat it in a hot bowl. happy.

Pig red soup and fried dumplings are a perfect match. The dumplings are fried with lard. The dumplings are fried in the heat wave and applauded. They are browned and crispy. When you bite down, the fragrant oil flows into your mouth. The pig red soup is satisfying.

Students who came out of the school, hungry, liked to order a bowl of the champion and the first porridge, hoping to soak up the good luck of the champion. Cook until the bottom of the porridge is thick enough, add fresh pork loin, pork liver, pork sausage and pork slices and boil until cooked, sprinkle with chopped green onion and pepper, spoon half a circle along the side of the bowl, scoop up a spoonful and eat while blowing , the fatigue of the day will be dissipated in the rich porridge fragrance. If it is accompanied by a fried golden savory pancake, it is a great enjoyment in life.

Following Ningxi to eat every day, Meng Shuangshuang gained a lot of weight, and the clothes he brought with him were too tight, and his chest was bulging and tight. eyes.

When Rong Daquan first started, every day when he came back from work, he would happily tell Ning Xi about his new insights, what fresh ingredients he saw, and what new practices he learned, etc. Gradually, he became taciturn, sometimes silently fascinated, and sighed from time to time.

But when Ningxi asked, he always shook his head: "It's nothing."

It turned out that they only paid half a month's room fee for that inn. Now they have eaten most of the wages of Rong Daquan. They had to feel wronged and moved to a cheaper inn. Fortunately, the place is not bad. clean.

Meng Shuangshuang was still blaming herself. Her carelessness caused everyone to suffer with her, but after a while, she was attracted all the attention by the old monkey playing in the next room.

Little monkeys are smart, they can understand people's words, they can do whatever they want, and sometimes they play tricks with you. Except that they can't speak, they are almost like a sensible child.

In two days, Meng Shuangshuang became very familiar with the little monkey. Every time he went out to eat delicious food, he never forgot to save a little bit to bring back to the little monkey to eat. The little monkey saw that she was wearing it on his wrist. Meng Shuangshuang took off a hand rope woven with red silk thread and tied it to the little monkey's hand.

Like a child who got something good, the little monkey squeaked and showed off.

Lian Rong Daquan came back every day, and couldn't help but tease the little monkey. If he didn't see him for a day, he seemed to be missing something, and he felt uncomfortable.

Rong Daquan finished teasing the little monkey on this day, went back to the room and sat for a long time, and began to sigh again, Ning Xi walked over: "Brother Rong, tell me the truth, are you unhappy in Tongxing Building? , if you’re not happy, don’t do it, we’ll think of other ways to make money.”

Rong Daquan shook his head: "No, they are all very kind to me. A few days ago, because I did a good job in cooking, they transferred me to a small kitchen dedicated to cooking for distinguished guests."

"Then why do you look so gloomy all day?"

"I'm thinking, in order to satisfy our appetites, we humans build our happiness on the pain of other creatures. Is it right to do this?" Rong Daquan said with a deep and authentic face.

Ning Xi felt that something was wrong with him: "Why do you say that?" Could it be that there is still Yu Dang, the vegetarians of the Seven Jue Teachings, who are instilling in him the notion that killing is a crime?

Rong Daquan sighed and said, "A few days ago, according to the request of the guests, the small kitchen made a live roast goosefoot. Do you know how it was done?"

As soon as Ning Xi heard it, he understood what had stimulated him. Live roasted goose feet was a very cruel dish.

Roughly wash the soles of a live goose, prepare seasonings and a wooden board with two holes drilled, pass the goose paws through the holes in the wooden board, and bake them on a hot stove. Coated with seasoning while roasting, the goosefoot will keep getting fat and luscious as it roasts.

The goosefoot has been roasted until it is the size of a sunflower fan before it is cut and cooked properly for guests to eat.

Rong Daquan said with a face full of unbearable expression: "It's really a live roast. While roasting, the goose croaked extremely terribly."
