Chapter 322 This boss is a bit stingy
"Leave the rice wine to me. I know a restaurant that makes authentic rice wine, and the Tou Fu is especially delicious! You don't have to buy any more, I'll buy some as well and bring them to you!" Jiang Zhengchun rubbed his hands happily.
As the group chatted and laughed, all twenty-two dishes arrived. While the number looked large, the first few dishes were essentially small appetizers, tailored to the number of people. After each person grabbed a plate, the empty plates were promptly cleared away by the waiter. From the arrival of the glazed pigeon, the portions gradually increased, but only relatively. By the time Zhao Xiaojing finished her last bite, she felt just about 70% full and was immediately impressed by the chef's precise control of portion size.
When paying the bill, Zhao Xiaojing glanced at the menu and found that the meal cost more than 3,800 yuan. While she was shocked, she secretly upgraded the braised pork head for tomorrow's meal.
You have to buy the best, freshest and most expensive pigs. If they are not good enough, you can use the quality inspection module to upgrade them on the way. Although they are certainly not as expensive as this table of private dishes, it is difficult for everyone to eat special-grade pig heads in normal times.
"Xiaojing, if you're busy, it doesn't matter if you can't braise it. Just send a text message to your Uncle Jiang. Business is more important." The few of them chatted all the way as they sent Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen back to the restaurant. When they got out of the car, Wen Yulan gave them instructions again, and took out two large bags from the trunk and stuffed them into the two of them.
Zhao Xiaojing quickly caught it, deeply moved. It was fate that she had met the Wen family by chance, but the old man and the old lady had felt a warm welcome the moment they met. After getting to know Wen Yulan, she truly cared for her like her own aunt, bringing her gifts whenever they met, always visiting her in the kitchen when they ate at a restaurant, and telling her not to overwork herself. Whenever she gave her something, she would always return it with many times the amount.
Zhao Xiaojing silently added a few more dishes to tomorrow's meal and waved to Wen Yulan. "I know, Aunt Wen. Have a safe trip."
"Thank you, Aunt Wen. Uncle Jiang, please drive slowly on the road." Su Yuchen said while holding the things.
…
The next morning, Su Yuchen and Zhao Xiaojing went to the market together. Xiaozhi had more than doubled the amount of vegetables he'd prepared, especially the pig's feet, which almost filled the trunk of an ordinary car. Fortunately, Zhao Xiaojing's van was a truck, so there was more than enough space.
The two of them had a casual breakfast and then went their separate ways. Zhao Xiaojing drove to pick up the pig's feet, while Su Yuchen walked into the vegetable area of the market to pick up the vegetables.
After Zhao Xiaojing took the meat ingredients that she had ordered in advance, she picked and chose at various meat stalls. In addition to buying an extra pig head, she also bought two arched snouts, two strips of pork, ten pounds of large intestine, ten pounds of shank, and ten pounds of heart meat.
Wen Jin wanted a braised hotpot, but braised pig's head was not very suitable for him, so Zhao Xiaojing slightly changed her original plan of buying two pig's heads.
Perhaps because the market demand was not high right after the Chinese New Year, the supply was also insufficient. Zhao Xiaojing took a look around and scanned all the meats with the quality inspection module. In the end, she only bought the second-level pig heads, pork strips, arched mouths, and ladders. She only bought the ordinary third-level large intestines and heart meat. After using 60 system coins and 500 yuan, she upgraded all the ingredients to special grade.
While Su Yuchen was not here yet, Zhao Xiaojing simply used the quick module to disassemble the pig's head with one click, and cleaned and cut all the ingredients neatly.
"Wow, this pork shop is really good! Even I who don't know how to cook can tell that the meat is fresh. Even the large intestine is handled so cleanly. I was just wondering if they washed it with flour!" Su Yuchen returned to the restaurant, opened the bag and looked at it with a look of surprise.
"Which store is this? If Mr. Huang were this attentive, we would save ourselves a lot of trouble."
"Well, this place doesn't have a shop, it's a stall. I guess they killed a pig at home and couldn't finish eating it. I've never seen it before." Zhao Xiaojing touched her nose and felt that her skills in talking nonsense had become much more proficient.
"What a pity. If it were here every day, we might be able to order pork from one more store. However, the boss of this store is a bit stingy." Su Yuchen smiled mysteriously.
"Stingy? Why?" Zhao Xiaojing was puzzled.
"Look, he's clearly sorted and cleaned all the parts of the pig, even the fat in the large intestine has been processed perfectly, but he couldn't be bothered to pack it in separate bags. Everything is crammed together, and I have to sort it out myself!" Su Yuchen poured the contents of the bag into a large basin and pointed to the pile of mixed meat for Zhao Xiaojing to see. "You didn't even say anything to him when you bought it? He's still concerned about a little soy sauce after the pig has been killed?"
"This...this..." Zhao Xiaojing was suddenly speechless.
When she bought it, it was a whole pig's head, so of course they put it in a whole bag. Later, after using the quick module to process it, two bags that had originally contained large intestines and celery were automatically filled with processed food waste, so she threw them away. The system didn't produce plastic bags, so all the ingredients were automatically packed into one bag.
Now the comb has discovered the loophole, how annoying.
"But we're going to put them all in the braising pot later anyway, so it doesn't matter whether we separate them or not. I separated them and put them all together anyway." Su Yuchen squatted beside the large basin, muttering to himself as he added water. "You're really amazing, Mirror. You thought of this. How environmentally friendly!"
Environmentalist Zhao Xiaojing: …
This is logically consistent, you can do it.
The two of them fished out the pig's trotters, and Su Yuchen began to braise the dish step by step. Zhao Xiaojing chopped the chicken, ribs, and beef brisket while using the quick module to process them simultaneously. When these ingredients were half processed, a sound came from the front hall. Zhao Xiaojing looked out and saw that it was Lu Hongwen.
"Doesn't your school start in two days? Why are you here so early?"
"Little Mosquito, are you missing the staff meal? You don't miss us, do you?"
"Haha, I just want to work, okay? I brought you two some local specialties. If you don't welcome me, I'll leave."
"Leave the specialties here, you can go back!" Su Yuchen immediately put down the colander and ran over.
Lü Hongwen scoffed, unhooked his backpack, and handed over the bag. "These are some assorted mushrooms I dug up on the mountain the other day. It's just the beginning of spring, so it's not the right season, so there are only these random mushrooms. But they're still good to try. They're good with meat or soup."
This is the chicken mushroom we have at home. It's ready-made and probably a few months old. The oil is very fragrant and can be used as a side dish with anything. But you guys should eat it yourself, don't use it as a free side dish!
The flower cakes we bought from a famous local chain store are freshly baked and have only a three-day shelf life. Today is the last day, so we have to eat them at noon.
Hu Lazi, hehe, Sister Mirror, please try to see if you can replicate it. I think this is a specialty of our place. You can’t taste this flavor outside of our Yun Province!
Hand-shredded tofu, this needs to be frozen.
Ham……
Tofu sausage..."
