Ji Qingzhi's family has an ancestral restaurant, but she yearns for the entertainment industry.
In her words, she is so beautiful, of course she can't waste this face. However, after ...
Chapter 606 The waiter who serves the dishes is better than you
Hearing this voice, Mr. Nie paused, then quickly hid the toothpick in his hand, turned to explain to Grandma Nie: "I think there seems to be a small insect on the coriander leaf."
Nie Yuanyuan, who witnessed the whole process, stepped forward and put down the bowl in her hand: "Grandpa is lying, you are obviously stealing food."
Grandma Nie snorted coldly and said nothing. This old man obviously has a bad stomach and the doctor has told him not to eat spicy food. He has been avoiding it for a long time, but he didn't expect that he would be so greedy as to eat it secretly today. For a moment, Grandma Nie felt both funny and angry.
"What nonsense are you talking about, girl?" Old Master Nie looked a little embarrassed and turned around to glare at Nie Yuanyuan.
"Grandma, can we eat now?" Nie Yuanyuan didn't care whether Grandpa Nie was cheating on her or not. She just wanted to get the boiled beef into her mouth quickly.
"Let's eat first." Grandma Nie put the cooked dishes on the table and went back to the kitchen.
When Mr. Nie saw her go to the kitchen, he couldn't help but reach out and tap Nie Yuanyuan's head: "Girl, don't add fuel to the fire later."
"I know, Grandpa. By the way, does it taste good?" Nie Yuanyuan asked.
"It's okay, but her cooking skills are still a little bit inferior to Old Ji's." After saying this, Grandpa Nie couldn't help but take a look at the pot of boiled beef, his eyes full of nostalgia.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Grandma Nie standing behind him with a bowl of rice. He quickly explained, "Shuhua, listen to my explanation."
"Okay, let's eat first." Grandma Nie deliberately put on a stern face.
"Then I'll start eating." Nie Yuanyuan couldn't wait to pick up a piece of beef. There was a little chili powder floating on the beef, and it looked very tempting in its red color. She took a light bite and it was tender and smooth, unlike the beef her grandma sometimes cooked, which was so tough that she couldn't bite it.
Although Mr. Nie looked straight ahead, if you looked closely, you could see that his peripheral vision was always paying attention to what Nie Yuanyuan was doing. When he saw her swallowing the beef in her mouth with a satisfied look on her face, he took a big mouthful of rice.
Grandma Nie had been paying attention to his movements. Seeing this, she shook her head in a somewhat amused tone. Finally, she asked with concern, "Yuanyuan, how does it taste?"
"Don't worry, grandma. Sister Qingzhi's cooking tastes better than the restaurant my dad took me to last time." After saying that, Nie Yuanyuan showed off a piece of beef. Although there seemed to be a lot of chili peppers, it was more of the aroma of the chili peppers, and the spiciness was only in the mouth, not in the heart, which was different from the industrial chili essence in some takeouts.
"It seems that we have all underestimated this girl. Now we don't have to worry about her anymore." Grandma Nie said with relief.
Glancing at the old man with eager eyes, Grandma Nie said slowly, "If you really want to eat it, ask Qingzhi to make one with less chili in the evening."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Nie's eyes lit up, and then he said against his will: "Actually, this looks spicy, but it doesn't taste spicy. The peppers from Old Ji's family are not that spicy."
"It's indeed not particularly spicy." Nie Yuanyuan beside her nodded.
"Shuhua, look, Yuanyuan didn't say it was spicy either." Grandpa Nie said and gave his granddaughter an appreciative look.
"Let me try it." Grandma Nie said as she picked up a piece of beef. You have to say, the taste is just as good as that made by Old Ji.
"What do you think? I told you it wouldn't be spicy, right?" Grandpa Nie looked at Grandma Nie carefully, waiting for her nod before he attacked the boiled beef again.
"It's not spicy enough. If you want to taste Qingzhi's cooking, just order something non-spicy." Grandma Nie glared at Grandpa Nie, then continued to pick up the vegetables from the boiled beef and eat them very naturally. Well, it was delayed for a while, and the vegetables were a little too cooked. It should have tasted better when they had just come back.
Nie Yuanyuan didn't have time to listen to them continue. She just focused on eating. In addition to the beef, the vegetables at the bottom also absorbed the soup and were very tasty. Of course, before eating, she did not forget to brush off the red oil on the vegetables, as that was the spiciest.
Grandma Nie was originally answering Grandpa Nie's questions perfunctorily, but when she saw Nie Yuanyuan's actions, she couldn't help but speed up the pace of picking up dishes with her hands. Well, the experts said that it is better for the elderly to eat more beef, and she was just responding to the experts' call.
Both the grandfather and grandson ate with a satisfied look on their faces. Grandpa Nie stared at the rice in the bowl and had no idea how to taste it. Damn it, he would definitely go and eat his fill one day when the old lady was not at home. As he said this, he took two deep breaths and ate his meal with the smell in the air.
Soon, only the soup was left in the large pot of boiled beef. Nie Yuanyuan stared at the bowl and said, "Grandma, why don't you save the soup to cook some noodles or vermicelli in the evening?"
"Look at the pimple on your forehead." Grandma Nie glared at her. Although she also felt it was a pity, she still firmly rejected this tempting offer.
"Your grandma is right. Didn't your dad tell you to avoid spicy food when he took you to see the doctor last time?" Grandpa Nie said quickly. If he can't eat it, then they can forget about eating it either. Humph.
"Okay. I'll send this to the group later." Nie Yuanyuan didn't forget what she said before.
Nie Yuanyuan: /Picture/Thumbs up/Does it taste really good?
Hua Kai Fu Gui: That’s great, I’ll go try it tomorrow too.
Other people in the group were skeptical about Nie Yuanyuan's words. After all, the Nie family and the Ji family had a good relationship. But the picture that Nie Yuanyuan posted seemed really good?
Ji Qingzhi was originally in this group, but after her debut, some people wanted to dig up dirt on her. Many people tried to sneak into the group to dig up dirt on her. She didn't want to cause trouble for her neighbors, so she voluntarily withdrew from the group, so she knows nothing about what is happening in the group now.
After Nie Yuanyuan left, Ji Qingzhi also started to prepare lunch for herself. Before she retired from the entertainment industry, she would calculate the calories of everything she ate, but now she doesn't have to worry about that. She thought about it and realized that the beef was not finished yet, so she would just boil some water to cook it, and then mix it with coriander and make some egg and tomato soup. It would be another simple meal.
Without controlling calories, Ji Qingzhi finished the rice in front of him. Carbs really made people happy. When putting the bowl into the dishwasher, Ji Qingzhi hummed a tune unconsciously until he heard Zhang Shuai's voice in front.
"Boss, I want some pickled fish and meatball soup, and some stir-fried vegetables." Zhang Shuai ordered the dishes directly.
"Okay." Ji Qingzhi nodded at them. The little guy was looking left and right curiously. When he heard Ji Qingzhi's response, he turned around hurriedly and gave Ji Qingzhi a big smile.
The child's eyes were particularly clear. She just stared at Ji Qingzhi and smiled happily. Ji Qingzhi also raised her lips unconsciously. How cute, she thought.
"Mengmeng, what are you smiling at so happily?" Huang Jing's tone was full of tenderness. Ji Qingzhi suddenly remembered her childhood. Before she was ten years old, she always thought that they were a family of three that everyone envied, but something had already begun to rot from the inside, and they just maintained a calm appearance.
Thinking of this, the smile on her face quickly disappeared. She turned and went into the kitchen. Considering that meatballs should be for children, Ji Qingzhi chose to make meatball soup first.
Ji Qingzhi did not choose to use a meat grinder to make the meatballs, but chopped them by hand. The two methods produced completely different tastes. She first cut the meat into small pieces, and then chopped the meat with a knife in both hands. Next to her were the prepared green onions and ginger, which she would add and chop together later.
The noise of chopping meat was quite loud. Meng Meng, who was originally having fun, also began to nod along with the rhythm of chopping meat. Huang Jing was a little surprised: "She actually chopped the meatballs by hand?"
"It seems so. We really chose the right place." Zhang Shuai's eyes were full of surprise.
"It looks like Mengmeng is in for a treat today." Huang Jing reached out and touched Mengmeng's face. To be honest, when she, as a mother, made meat balls for Mengmeng, she always chose to use a meat grinder. It was because chopping the meat was too tiring.
In the kitchen, the mincing of the meat was almost finished. Ji Qingzhi put the egg white into the chopped meat, added onion, ginger and seasoning, then stirred evenly, and finally used two spoons to shape the meatballs.
Ji Qingzhi chose tomatoes and oyster mushrooms as side dishes for the meatball soup, which would make the soup more delicious.
After the meatball soup was out of the pot, she began to prepare the pickled fish. She only bought one fish and asked the market to process it for her. She only needed to fillet it when she came back. To be honest, she had already prepared to eat the fish herself in the evening, but she didn't expect that they didn't order it. It seems that she still needs to prepare live fish.
The sauerkraut in the sauerkraut fish is also particularly important. Lao Ji would pickle a large jar of sauerkraut every year. The sauerkraut that she took this time was newly pickled by Lao Ji. Her hand paused as she took the vegetable. Every year, Lao Ji grows the Chinese cabbage for making sauerkraut in the backyard. Now that Lao Ji is in the hospital, the vegetables in the backyard have lost their vitality without anyone to take care of them.
The fish slices had to be sliced very thinly, so Ji Qingzhi's movements were inevitably a little slow. After he finally sliced the fish, a disdainful voice suddenly rang in his mind: "Your knife skills are better than yours."
Ji Qingzhi blushed a little. She said while marinating the fish fillets: "I will practice diligently."
"That's good to know." The old ancestor snorted.
Just when Ji Qingzhi thought that the ancestor would speak to guide her in making sauerkraut fish, the voice disappeared again. Even after the sauerkraut fish was taken out of the pot, the voice in her head remained silent.
This is really an incomprehensible instruction. Thinking from another angle, maybe the sauerkraut fish I made has met the standards? Thinking of this, Ji Qingzhi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
When the pickled fish was served, Huang Jing was feeding Meng Meng meatballs. Ji Qingzhi had just come out of the kitchen, with beads of sweat on her forehead running down her cheeks, but this still did not affect her beauty. Thinking of Yaya saying that she was going to quit the entertainment industry, Huang Jing suddenly became curious. How did she do such a big leap from an actor to a chef?
Fortunately, Huang Jing was a person with a strong sense of boundaries. Although she was curious, she did not ask abruptly. She just couldn't help but look at Ji Qingzhi a few more times.
People who have been in that circle would naturally not care about such gazes. Ji Qingzhi turned around and smiled at her, then went back to the kitchen to prepare stir-fried seasonal vegetables. She didn’t know if anyone on the recruitment platform had seen the information. If this continued, she would really be too busy to handle it.
Stir-frying seasonal vegetables may seem simple, but it actually requires the right amount of heat. The seasonal vegetable of this season, the pak choy prepared by Ji Qingzhi, tastes best when stir-fried with soy sauce. She heated up the oil in a pan, put in ginger, garlic and dried chilies, sautéed them until fragrant, then added the bok choy. When the bok choy was cooked, she started adding salt and chicken stock, then removed the pan and served it on a plate.
At this time, Mengmeng's little belly was already round with food, but her eyes were still on the sauerkraut fish. She blinked her eyes, constantly sending Huang Jing the signals she wanted.
"You can't eat this yet." Huang Jing shook her head and refused. Not to mention the issue of whether it was spicy or not, she didn't dare to give fish to such a young child. It would be terrible if the child got it stuck.
Although Meng Meng was only one year old, she could already understand rejection, so she cried a few times in displeasure. However, Zhang Shuai, who was eating next to her, looked very satisfied. He remembered the football game he was going to watch tonight, so he looked up at Ji Qingzhi and said, "Boss, do you have any braised food here?"
As soon as the voice fell, Ji Qingzhi heard the mechanical voice in his head again: "Ding, prepare the stewed food, and you will be rewarded with 600 points."
