Chapter 462: Cheating for Food and Drink, Good People Get Good Rewards (Part 2)
Kitchen.
Jiang Da stood in front of an extra-large chopping board, gently opened the pig's stomach with a blade, and with a sizzling sound, peeled off the skin with clean and neat movements.
Next, wash the pig's stomach in clean water, remove the tendons inside, and make cross cuts on the outside, with the depth controlled to 2/3 of the thickness of the stomach, forming a fishnet shape.
Then cut it into 2.5 cm square pieces, soak it in alkaline water for 3 minutes, take it out, rinse it, and put it into clean water for later use.
Next, process the chicken gizzards. Cut them into oblique cross-shaped cuts, with the depth controlled to 2/3 of the thickness of the gizzards. Wash them with clean water and place them in another bowl.
Put clean water in the pot and cook over high heat until it is 80% cooked. Put the chicken gizzards first, then the tripe and blanch them, then immediately put them into the soup bowl.
Add 10 grams of green onion, pepper and rice wine, mix well, and sprinkle with chopped coriander and pepper powder.
Put 750 ml of clear soup, 15 grams each of soy sauce, salt, green onion, pepper and rice wine into the soup pot, bring to a boil over high heat, skim off the foam and pour into the soup bowl.
Jiang Da opened his mouth: "Table 32, Phoenix Yufei, serve the dishes——"
Two waiters took action immediately, one brought the soup pot and the other brought the soup bowls on a tray. As soon as they placed the soup on the table, they immediately pushed the main ingredients in the bowls into the soup.
In an instant, the overbearing fragrance filled the entire restaurant, and when the wind blew, it continued to float outside.
At the same time, the pork belly and chicken gizzards cut into pieces with fancy knives bloom instantly under the nourishment of the broth, which is beautiful beyond words.
Nie Guotao finally squeezed into the store and happened to see the "blooming" scene. He was as agile as a wolfhound and jumped up.
Nie Chen couldn't pull it back.
Every time this happened, he couldn't help but wonder if the old man really had a heart disease?
The young couple who were about to have dinner were startled by him and almost dropped their soup bowls.
Nie Guotao quickly reached out to help. How could such a delicious thing be spilled?!
Not even a drop!
"Thank you, thank you, old man." The young wife spoke softly and kindly. It was obvious that she was very polite and knew how to respect the elderly and love the young.
The old man rolled his eyes and said, "You're welcome. It's all my fault. I scared you."
"No, no..." The woman waved her hands quickly. Seeing that he was standing there, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you... have anything else to say?"
"Alas," the old man sighed heavily, his eyes sad. "To be honest, I was drawn here by the aroma of this pot of soup. This smell reminded me of my grandson who passed away so young."
The grandson Nie Chenbenchen who passed away early: "?"
They retreated quietly, not daring to come forward, as the old man was about to use any means necessary to get free food and drinks.
really--
"Ah?" The woman was stunned, then looked apologetic.
The husband was a little suspicious, but still did not want to assume the greatest malice towards the old man in front of him who was well-dressed and did not look like a liar at all.
Nie Guotao pretended not to notice, his eyes filled with nostalgia: "My grandson loved drinking this pig stomach and chicken gizzard soup when he was little, but I thought it was too much trouble to make it for him often. But as a child, the less adults give it to him, the more he misses it..."
The woman nodded. She was like that when she was a child.
The young husband, who was originally a little skeptical, gradually immersed himself in the story, with a look of nostalgia on his face.
Who doesn’t have childhood memories?
"Unfortunately, when I wanted to cook it for him later, I no longer had the chance." The old man's eyes were red.
The woman and the man were suddenly at a loss.
"Old man, please don't be sad. If your grandson were still alive, he certainly wouldn't want to see grandpa sad for him."
"Yes," Nie Guotao nodded, "He has always been a good boy."
Nie Chen in the corner: "..." The good boy didn't even dare to speak.
"Because I like to eat it, I also like to cook it. When I miss my grandchildren, I make a pot of pork tripe and chicken gizzard soup, but now..." The old man sighed again, shaking his head, expressing the loneliness and vicissitudes of life in his twilight years.
The young couple's heart was suddenly gripped.
"What's wrong with you?"
Nie Guotao held out his hands, both trembling visibly. "My heart isn't good. I had surgery, which barely saved my life, but my hands are gone. Now it's hard for me to even lift a kitchen knife, let alone a carving knife. So I can't make pig stomach and chicken gizzard soup anymore... Most of the time it's okay, but when I miss my grandson, I feel so empty without that support, like a piece of me has been gouged out."
The woman's eyes were wet. She wanted to comfort him but didn't know how to start.
Nie Guotao: "I unexpectedly passed by this shop today and smelled the familiar aroma again. I really wanted to try it again! But I seemed to be late, and there were a lot of people queuing outside. I thought I might as well come in and take a look. Sure enough, it was exactly the same!"
"I'm sorry," the old man said with an apologetic look, "I've been talking for so long and delayed your meal. Drink it while it's hot. This soup is at its most flavorful and fresh the eleventh minute after it comes out of the pot. It's perfect now!"
After saying that, he prepared to leave.
The back figure looks so lonely.
"Wait! Old man——"
Nie Guotao turned around, still confused: "Huh?"
"If you don't mind, would you please sit down and eat with us?"
"How...can this be possible?" The old man waved his hands repeatedly.
Seeing this, Nie Chen sneered.
But some people just buy into this—
The man took the initiative to step forward and helped him to his seat: "Meeting is fate, you are welcome."
"We originally wanted to give you the soup, but my wife is pregnant and hasn't been able to maintain a stable pregnancy. She's been vomiting everything she eats and losing weight rapidly. The doctor said if she can't eat anymore, she'll have to be hospitalized. We've tried everything lately, but she still has no appetite, except for Jiang Ji's pancakes."
"It just so happened that the private restaurant here opened today. I heard it's also Master Jiang's, so I brought her over to try it. We started lining up early in the morning, and we only got to eat now. Luckily, when she entered the restaurant, she smelled the delicious food and rice, and she didn't vomit, so..."
He couldn't give it all to the old man because his wife and unborn baby were also important.
The woman also looked apologetic. She had suffered enough from not being able to eat during this period. Only Jiang Ji's pancakes and the soup in front of her could make her appetite.
"Would it be okay if you sit down at our table and we ordered another for you?"
Nie Guotao waved his hand: "No, no, I'll just have a small bowl. Thank you. Good people will be rewarded."
The couple looked at each other and smiled: "Then let me borrow your good words."
Nie Guotao finally drank the hot soup, one mouthful, two mouthfuls, three mouthfuls...
Before I knew it, I had reached the bottom.
Even he himself was shocked.
"Can you get another bowl?" the woman asked considerately.
Not to mention the old lady, even she couldn't help but gulp it down in a few mouthfuls.
It’s really delicious!
"No, thank you. The soup is delicious, and you two are very nice people." After saying this with a smile, he stood up and left.
Suddenly, he came back and said, "I forgot to ask, what is the name of this soup?"
Woman: "Phoenix is flying."
Nie Guotao smacked his lips for a moment, said "wonderful", and turned away.
Nie Chen stepped forward to clean up the mess for his old man, left a business card of an obstetrician and gynecologist, and turned to chase after the old man.
The couple was still confused. The husband's eyes swept across the nameplate and suddenly stopped: "Dr. Bai Xinhui's personal contact information?!"
"Ah? Is it the best obstetrician and gynecologist in Linhuai?"
"Yes! It's her!"
The woman frowned: "Didn't you say before that you couldn't make an appointment?"
"Well, next year's numbers are all full."
"Then this..."
"Should I try calling him?"
Five minutes later, the young couple happily walked out of the restaurant and left their seats to Nie Guotao and his grandson Nie Chen.
"Thank you! Thank you, old man! Doctor Bai asked us to go over immediately for an examination and to create a file."
"Go ahead, go ahead. They say good people will be rewarded." He muttered.
The couple left happily.
The waiter came up and asked him what he wanted.
Nie Guotao flipped through the menu and gently closed it. Under the waiter's puzzled gaze, he waved his hand and said, "Give me one portion of all the dishes!"
He wanted to see if Chef Jiang’s other dishes besides the Phoenix Flying were equally amazing!
The waiter was stunned: "All, all?"
Nie Chen held his forehead with his hand, took the menu and pointed at a dozen or so items at random: "These are the ones I'll serve."
"Ah? Ok, alright."
As for the Caoji staff member, he was completely numb at this moment.
Nie Guotao suddenly remembered and asked him, "Hey, so-and-so, do you want to sit down and eat with us?"
"ah?"
Nie Chen frowned. "The old man asked if you wanted to eat with us. If not, go out and wait. It's difficult for them to serve the food if you stand here."
The staff member rubbed his hands, his eyes flickering: "Then... I'd better eat it."
He swallowed.
Mr. Liu, I didn’t do this voluntarily, I was forced!
When the dishes came up one after another, he would say: Oh my god, they smell so good!

Three o'clock, eleven o'clock.
