Chapter 9 Tiger Skin Green Pepper and Preserved Egg
When Cao Yue saw his uncle standing at the end of the line, he felt like he was dreaming.
Soon, he remembered that he had told his uncle a while ago that Qin Tiantian's stepmother opened a small restaurant and made delicious beef noodles.
Thanks to my uncle's intelligence, he must have guessed early on that I would come here to eat when I came back, so he lined up first.
Thinking of this, Cao Yue was even a little moved.
He trotted over and said, "Uncle, I've only been gone for half a month. Although I'm greedy, I won't ask you to come and queue for me. Just let Tang Xiong come."
Tang Xiong is Cao Feng's assistant.
Cao Feng at this time was thinner than he was half a month ago, with clearer facial features and a somewhat sickly look, but it did not affect his appearance.
Cao Feng's anorexia worsened significantly and his weight dropped significantly.
Cao Feng handed him the number plate in his hand and said lightly: "Take your number and line up."
The Happy Food Store is very popular. People who want to queue up need to order their meals at the front desk and then queue up.
Xue Qi will cook according to the number list.
Cao Yue lowered his head and glanced at the queue number list in his hand. It read "Vegetable porridge 1, green pepper and preserved egg 1, pickled vegetable 1".
He muttered softly, "Uncle, you know I don't like preserved eggs... I don't like kimchi either! I'm in the growth stage, I need meat, big chunks of meat, solid meat!"
Cao Feng needed to call the office back. As he flipped through his address book, he said calmly, "I ordered it for myself. If you want to eat, go and queue up yourself."
To be fair, the rule of Happiness Food Store is that each person can only order once. If you want to order a second time, you have to start queuing again and cannot add dishes in the middle.
This is done to help Xue Qi improve her cooking efficiency, after all, she is the only one in the kitchen now.
During this period, there were people who came here because of its reputation and queued for a long time but then gave up, but Xue Qi didn’t care. She wanted to make money, but she also didn’t want to make herself too tired!
After all, she is the one who is about to inherit a 30 million inheritance.
Cao Yue stood there in a daze.
Cao Feng went to a nearby place to make a phone call. He stared at his uncle's back as he left, feeling very lonely.
He looked at the team in front of him and then at the long team behind him. His eyes felt dizzy and his legs felt weak.
Cao Yue immediately sent a message to Qin Tiantian, but Qin Tiantian replied: "I'm sorry, my classmates don't have any privileges. After all, I have many classmates!"
Cao Yue: “???”
Lean on it.
Is the revolutionary friendship they had when they transferred to the same school gone?
Hello Qin Tiantian, you are very good!
Nephew Cao Yue was queuing behind. After Cao Feng finished his call, he went to the store door to see what was going on inside.
The Happy Food Store is not big, with the front desk at the door and the kitchen completely transparent.
From where he stood, he could just see Xue Qi cooking in the kitchen.
Many of the guests waiting at the door took out their mobile phones to take secret photos of Xue Qi.
The girl inside was very nimble, like an acrobat. One moment she was frying food in the wok, the next moment she was putting noodles into the wok, and after a while she was even able to cut vegetables?
She has a slim figure but her arm strength seems amazing, she lifts the big iron pot with ease and comfort.
She was very experienced in making noodles. She stretched a small piece of dough several times, and in a blink of an eye, it became thin noodles.
After throwing the thin noodles into the pot, she quickly started to cut the potatoes into shreds. With a few strokes of the knife, the potato slices as thin as paper became thin shreds. She used the back of the knife to pick them up and threw them into the boiling oil to stir-fry.
Sizzling and gurgling, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of smoke. Xue Qi, wearing a neat chef's uniform, looked like a fairy who was not stained by dust.
The diners watching her cook were dazzled:
"Fuck! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed someone could cook so efficiently! Is this... human speed?"
"Did you see her shredding potatoes just now? I seemed to blink and a potato turned into shreds."
"Ramen is her specialty, right? She's not making ramen, she's performing magic? Such a beautiful chef sister, was she a magician in the past?"
Although he couldn't smell the aroma of food in the kitchen, Cao Feng found it pleasing just to watch her cook.
Yesterday he accidentally saw Xue Qi's interview video. Watching Xue Qi cooking through the screen, the nausea in his stomach was suddenly suppressed by an unknown sense of freshness.
It was also the first time that I had a desire and longing for food.
When he learned that Xue Qi's store was outside Blue Mountain International, and he was free today, he came over to take a look.
Watching Xue Qi cooking through the screen, he was still able to control his desire for Xue Qi's cooking.
But at this moment, with everyone watching, the desire for delicious food was hard to control, and my stomach suddenly started to growl.
This roar is not a sign of nausea, but an extreme demand of a sick stomach for delicious food.
…
There are four employees in the Happy Food Store. Two of them are responsible for washing dishes, one is responsible for waiting tables, and the remaining one is responsible for cashiering.
When Cao Yue wanted to get a number for himself, the restaurant had already stopped taking registrations.
In order to get a taste of the action, he ended up buying a number from the person behind him at a high price.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Cao Feng finally sat down in the store.
The waiter brought the meal Cao Feng ordered: a bowl of vegetable porridge, a small plate of pickled vegetables, and a portion of green pepper and preserved egg.
The vegetable porridge was not what he had imagined. It had just the right viscosity, and the soup was a refreshing emerald green. Even the puffed rice grains were tinged with a light green. Not only did it look refreshing visually, but a strange fragrance spread between the teeth when eaten.
The smooth taste of the vegetable porridge suppressed all the discomfort in his stomach, and a bite of the crisp kimchi made Cao Feng even more unable to stop.
The vegetable porridge with crisp pickled radish was sour, delicious and appetizing, instantly whetting his appetite.
He was originally putting food into his mouth carefully, but suddenly he picked up the bowl and started eating with relish.
After finishing a bowl of porridge, Cao Feng remembered that there were also tiger skin green peppers and preserved eggs.
The green pepper and preserved egg were roasted with charcoal fire to bring out their fragrance. The skin and meat were completely separated and mixed with the preserved egg. Although only simple seasonings such as soy sauce and balsamic vinegar were added, it made him feel the long-lost homesickness!
The slightly fuzzy green pepper in the mouth fully stimulates the mellow aroma of the preserved egg. When the taste in the mouth becomes rich, take a sip of the refreshing porridge, it is like running in the noisy sun and suddenly entering a cool mint forest that blocks out the scorching sun.
This refreshing feeling completely repelled the greasy and disgusting feeling that had been suppressed in his stomach for a long time, and the taste of happiness spread between his teeth and lingered for a long time.
Cao Yue, who was waiting at the door to be called, saw that his uncle not only did not vomit after eating, but actually ate with relish.
The difficulty in eating on his face also disappeared, replaced by a look of extreme enjoyment, as if basking in the spring breeze.
Cao Yue: “???”
It's outrageous!
Is it really that delicious! ?
Cao Yue watched his uncle eat and made himself hungry!
Most of the people queuing behind Cao Yue had left because they had to wait too long, and he was the last customer when he came in to eat.
Xue Qi was pleasantly surprised to see Cao Yue and personally served him the dish:
A serving of soft-fried steamed meat, a bowl of vegetable porridge, and a small plate of kimchi.
Slice the meat with skin and fat, mix it with special seasoning and rice flour, put soybeans on it and steam it in a bamboo basket, then take it out, let it cool, and then fry it in a pan until golden brown.
The crispy outer shell popped open between teeth, creating a sharp contrast with the soft and glutinous interior that melted in the mouth. Dipping it in a little pepper and salt, the numb and crispy feeling made him exclaim in delight!
Although both are fried foods, this one tastes much better than his favorite French fries and potato chips!
So delicious!
Soft fried steamed meat paired with a bowl of vegetable porridge and a bite of crispy radish is a great way to relieve the greasiness.
Cao Yue ate the fried steamed meat in big mouthfuls. Before he even swallowed the food in his mouth, he immediately took a sip of the refreshing vegetable porridge and ate it with such relish.
After Xue Qi finished her work and came out of the kitchen, she saw the word "biubiu" written in golden letters on Cao Yue's head.
["Happy Food" makes Cao Yue feel happy, and Villain No. 3 awakens 20. ]
Just at this moment, Qin Tiantian walked in from outside with a stack of books, greeted Cao Yue, and when she saw that he ignored her, she walked straight towards Xue Qi.
She handed a form to Xue Qi: "This is the registration form for the school's ice and snow sports club. After registration, the school will regularly take us to the ski resort in Yanjing for practice, and there will be famous teachers to guide us. The fee is not low, and a parent's signature is required. Um, the registration fee may need to be advanced from you..."
Xue Qi took the list from her and saw a line of small golden words appear above Qin Tiantian's head:
[The little stepmother's "happy food" received a praise +1 from Villain No. 3, and Qin Tiantian's luck value +1.]
Qin Tiantian's luck value increased by another point.
She was deducted a total of 10 points of luck, leaving her with only 7 points to successfully escape the mark!
Xue Qi signed the order happily and happily added an extra portion of salad for Cao Yuezai!
Cao Feng was attracted by the fragrance of the cold-mixed Houttuynia cordata with red oil, and picked up the chopsticks to pick up some to taste, but Cao Yue protected his food like a fierce dog!
He said fiercely: "Uncle, you are still eating. Don't you want your stomach anymore?"
Cao Feng frowned and tapped the boy's forehead with the other end of his chopsticks: "Take your hand away."
Although my uncle's voice was low, it carried an extreme sense of pressure and seriousness.
Cao Yue reluctantly took his hand away.
—Help! Someone is trying to steal his earlobes!
Cao Feng put down his chopsticks and noticed that a young man came in and was chatting with Xue Qi at the table at the door.
Cheng Kai took a sip of water and said excitedly, "It's not easy to find a job nowadays. I have connections, so I just opened a media company. I want to try my hand at self-media. Sister Xiaoqi, are you interested in signing a contract with me? Doing live streaming? I can be your agent?"
Xue Qi blinked and asked him, "I have thought about this, but when I tried live streaming on Douyin, no one watched it."
Cheng Kai said, "That's easy. I have channels that can attract traffic to you! I've thought about it all. You can open the store as usual, limit the number of customers every day, upgrade the dishes to premium dishes, and raise the prices. After you start making videos, I will hire an assistant for you. I guarantee that with your skills and my channels, you can easily earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a year!"
"Hundreds of thousands?"
so much?
For Xue Qi, who died of poverty in his previous life, an annual income of several hundred thousand is not as good as 30 million, but he can earn several hundred thousand a year by shooting cooking videos. It sounds like making money is easy, so tempting!
Since she can easily earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year by shooting food videos, why does she have to work so hard to receive so many guests every day?
Xue Qi lamented that he had never tasted the joy of making money in his previous life, and that he had been narrow-minded by the stupid players.
Why earn hard money when you can earn easy money?
With the 30 million she inherited, she will become a wealthy woman in the food industry.
Make easy money and inherit the inheritance, she is the fairy salted fish little stepmother little rich woman!
Xue Qi immediately said, "Hire me an assistant. I have requirements. I hope the other person can be quick and efficient."
She can be a little lazy because she is quick with her hands and feet.
Salted fish should have the attitude of salted fish.
As soon as she finished speaking, a clear bass voice came from behind her:
“Can I come for an interview?”
Cheng Kai and Xue Qi turned around at the same time. Not only them, but also Qin Tiantian, who was eating zheergen and doing homework, all looked at Cao Feng.
The man smiled like a gentleman and said, "It's hard to find a job now that I'm middle-aged. I want to find a job to make the transition."
Cao Yue: “???”
Holy crap. It’s so hard to find a job when you’re middle-aged!
Uncle, you're only thirty years old! A billionaire!
Cheng Kai felt a deep resonance with Cao Feng's words and sympathetically said, "Who says it's not true? If it weren't so hard to find a job, I wouldn't have started my own business. Could you please briefly introduce yourself?"
Cao Feng remained calm and composed: "Yeah. I have an average undergraduate degree and have been exposed to the Internet and technology industries."
He said this and looked at Xue Qi: "My family is ordinary, my parents died early, I have experienced hardships, and I work hard."
Cao Yue was choked by the red oil: "..."
Undergraduate degree from Qinghua University, is this ordinary?
Both parents are technology giants and famous national figures. Is this called an ordinary family?
It was Xue Qi's turn to sympathize with him.
This ordinary man is so miserable. The nephew he raised with great effort had his life stolen from him.
Neither work nor family is going well.
Xue Qi: “qaq…”
This reminded her of her miserable past life!
Let her, a wealthy woman who is about to have 30 million, save him!
