Blissful Days After Widowhood: Second course
Meng Shuangshuang clapped her hands and said, "Ningxi, you did a good job of tearing up the contract just now. Well done, I have long thought this woman was not pleasing to the eye."
Ning Xi smiled and said, "You think people are prettier than you!"
"Just her? It's just a joke! It's just that the powder on her face has turned white and the jewelry on her head is flashing a little bit. I dare to say that if you really want to wash your face and take off your jewelry, you can't compare to Ningxi. !”
Ning Xi was unhappy: "What do you mean, am I ugly?"
"It's not. We Ningxi haven't grown up yet. When he grows up, I'm sure she will be a great beauty. By the way, Ningxi, when are we going shopping? It's been a long time since we bought new clothes. ."
Ning Xi sighed: "I'm afraid it won't work these days. There's some trouble at the chicken farm."
"What's the trouble, what's going on? Why didn't you agree to cooperate with the Cao family just now? I remember you said last time that it would be very beneficial for us to cooperate with the Cao family."
Ning Xi snorted coldly: "This Cao family is not really cooperating with us at all. On the one hand, I am here to negotiate a favorable contract with me, and on the other hand, I am making trouble in the chicken farm. If I really did it yesterday We signed the contract in a greedy moment, and today we may not even be able to keep this Shuangxi Tower.”
Meng Shuangshuang was taken aback: "It's so serious, I'll just say, that woman is not a good person at first sight! If we don't cooperate, what will happen to our Sungai Fried Chicken? We have to continue in other places. open?"
"Of course I do, but I'll take it slowly. Let's take a firm footing in the capital first. I think I've figured it out. You can't be impatient when you're doing things. You have to do it step by step. You help me call Ayi over."
Ayi quickly appeared in front of Ning Xi: "Miss Ning, what are your orders?"
"Please take that casino owner and try to keep an eye on the woman who just went out from here in the past few days, to see if you can find the person who ordered him." Ning Xi had already determined that the matter this time was what the Cao family wanted. She framed herself, but she couldn't understand how her own small Shuangxi Building would have no impact on the Cao family at all. Why did they keep staring at her?
If it's really like what Han Siyan said, her fast food truck chain model really makes the Cao family feel threatened, then why aren't they afraid of the backers behind her?
The fact that these intrigues are too complicated, Ning Xi thinks, with her IQ, it's better to be a chef down-to-earth, sigh, if she can be like a previous life, there is a good brother to help her deal with these miscellaneous things It's all right, she just wants to study cooking wholeheartedly!
Thinking of this, Ning Xi headed into the kitchen. Since she's not happy, let's do something you like to make yourself happy!
Ningxi's way of regulating her mood is to do something that requires full concentration and is extremely challenging to patience, such as now - carving a winter melon.
Specially selected a large winter melon as long as her arm, first cut it in half, hollowed out the flesh and part of the melon inside, and then began to carve on the skin.
The bottom is carved into a fine lattice base, and in the middle is a detailed and complicated picture of a dragon and phoenix. , engraved with the word "G", the upper part of the lid is carved into a flower basket lattice, and a blooming peony flower at the top is extremely gorgeous.
What to do with the carved winter melon? Of course, it is to make a winter melon cup.
The ingredients for making the winter melon cup are also very complicated. As soon as Ningxi prepares it, he can't think about other things, such as chicken gizzard, frog, shrimp, sea cucumber, crab meat, fresh bamboo shoots, fresh lotus seeds, mushrooms, ham, chicken Bone, frog bone..., prepare one by one, the chicken bone and frog bone first fly through the water, and the other materials are washed and set aside.
Put the carved winter melon shells into a large pot first, boil them in boiling water for a while to remove the green smell, then take them out, coat the melon skin with peanut oil, put it in a large stewing bell, and put the chicken that flew through the water. Put the bones, frog bones, ginger, and green onions into the belly of the winter melon, fill it with soup, and simmer for half an hour, so that the umami of the bones can fully penetrate into the melon meat, and then remove all the ingredients inside and discard them.
Boil the soup in another pot, boil the shrimp, chicken gizzard, frog, fresh lotus seeds, and fresh bamboo shoots until cooked, pick up another pot of soup, pour in the freshly boiled ingredients, bring to a boil and pour them together Put it in the wax gourd cup, skim off the oil slick, and this one-grade wax gourd cup is ready.
Ning Xi was thinking of calling someone in to take this winter melon cup out, and invite everyone to taste it together, when Meng Shuangshuang hurried in, panting, "Ning Xi..." Before she could say the words, she saw this The beautiful and beautiful winter melon cup, the eyes are straight.
Walking around the winter melon cup fascinatedly: "Wow, it's so beautiful, what are you doing, Ningxi?"
"How about the first-grade winter melon cup, do you want to..."
Meng Shuangshuang suddenly remembered the business: "The fifth master is here."
"That's right, you can help me find two strong men, help me lift this winter melon cup, and go to see the fifth master."
"You don't need two people, just call A-Lin, he's very strong." Meng Shuangshuang was about to step over the threshold with one foot, and suddenly remembered something and stopped: "Ning Xi, Did you just want to ask me if I want to eat a winter melon cup?"
"No, I didn't think so." Ning Xi replied without changing his face.
"Oh!" Meng Shuangshuang walked out angrily, that's not it, she obviously wanted to say that, but she blamed herself for being too quick.
Alin entered the door with a huge winter melon cup, Jun Qianyu was also stunned: "This is what you can eat?"
"Of course." Ning Xi smiled, "This is the second dish I made for you, a winter melon cup."
Jun Qianyu looked at the beautiful and beautiful peony flower on the top of the winter melon cup: "Just the craftsmanship of this carving, even if it is called national beauty and heavenly fragrance, it is also worthy."
"The fifth master has won the prize." Ning Xi opened the winter melon cup, and a fresh fragrance wafted out along with the steam, which was refreshing.
Jun Qianyu didn't plan to eat anything when he came here this time, but he had an important thing to tell Ning Xi. Under this smell, his stomach was faintly hungry, and he didn't care to say anything. Say goodbye to the glutton in your full stomach.
The lotus seeds are sweet, the fresh bamboo shoots are crisp and tender, the shrimps are flaky, and the frogs are delicious. The winter melon meat as a container absorbs the delicious taste of various ingredients and is soft and delicious. Jun Qianyu ate several bowls in a row before he was willing to stop. : "Really good."
"Then I passed the second course? Thank you, Fifth Master."
Jun Qianyu smiled and said, "I heard that you took Alin Ayi to Chetianling yesterday to bully people?"
Ning Xi quickly stuck out his tongue: "That's not it, those people bullied me first and actually wanted to occupy my chicken farm, I just gave them some color to see, fifth master, no Will it cause you any trouble?"
"No, Alin Ayi has her own measure!"
"Can they still stay here to help me after that?" The feeling of fox and tiger power is really good, and Ning Xi really doesn't want to let them go back like this.
"Of course."
Ning Xi happily said: "Then I really thank Fifth Master."
Suddenly someone outside the door said loudly: "Five Master, I have something to report."
Ning Xi turned her head to look, but it was A Yi, still holding a man's belt in his hand. The man was folded in half by him, his head was hanging down, and he could only tell it was a man.
"Come in." Jun Qianyu ordered.
Ayi strode in, threw the man in his hand to the ground, clasped his fists and cupped his hands and said, "Five masters, Miss Ning."
Jun Qianyu nodded: "Speak!"
Ayi took a step forward and lifted the man's head. Ning Xi saw that it was a young man, and he seemed a little familiar.
The man's eyes were fixed on Ning Xi, if his eyes could turn into knives, he would have stabbed Ning Xi's body in the opposite direction at this moment, Ning Xi was startled: "Well, is it possible that I have something with you? Deep hatred?"
The man's eyes seemed to spit fire: "The king and the loser, since I fell into your hands, I want to kill or slash, what means is there, just use it, why bother."
Ning Xi sighed: "It seems that I really have a deep hatred for you, but can you tell me who you are?"
Suddenly, this person is like a deflated ball, and the whole person goes limp. He regards it as a thorn in the side of his eyes. He has been fighting for so long, and he doesn't even know who he is. This is too bullying. .
Ayi held back a smile and said, "Miss Ning, this is Li Shaoming, the owner of the original Xianju."
Ning Xi suddenly realized: "Oh, I remembered, it turns out that you are Li Shaoming! When my restaurant first opened, you found gangsters to make trouble and deliberately threw cockroaches into the dishes. Later, I joined the chef. In the qualifying exam, you found someone else to frame me for cheating, and during the Qiwang Mansion Food Conference, you deliberately asked someone to steal the teacher and copy the dishes I was going to make. You are the one! Hey, you hurt me so many times It didn't work out, and in the end you ended up with your own restaurant being banned, why haven't you learned a lesson! Tell me, what did you lose this time?"
This Li Shaoming, Ning Xi really didn't pay much attention to it. I didn't expect that he was still a thief. Stop, it's really annoying!
A Yi said: "My subordinate was ordered by Miss Ning to follow Han Siyan, and occasionally found this person meeting her in a restaurant. The casino owner recognized this person as the one who ordered him, so the subordinate quietly I followed in and saw that Han Siyan was losing his temper at him, scolding him for being useless and only doing bad things, saying that as long as he brought down Miss Ning, the chicken farm would be his sooner or later. He did it, but he couldn't help but do it early. That Han Siyan said, don't expect the Cao family to help him seize the power of the Li family in the future."
"Oh, so it is." Ning Xi nodded and said: "You must be jealous of my Shuangxi fried chicken, so you ran to cooperate with the Cao family, wanting to take my chicken farm as your own, even I’m still delusional, when I pay a huge amount of liquidated damages and go bankrupt, I will occupy my Sungai Tower and the fast food truck of fried chicken! Unfortunately, I’m still too anxious, that Han Siyan finds a pig like you My teammates have really been bad for eight lifetimes."
Li Shaoming was so angry that the veins on his neck popped out, and he sneered: "Don't be too complacent, if you offend the people of the Cao family, it will not end well!"
