In order to prevent theft and not affect everyone's reading, the text of chapters 121 and 122 is temporarily placed in the author's words at the beginning of the article. Remember to open the author's words. The price is a preferential price.
The following chapters are normal, yikes.
When Luo Huaian saw the contractor walk in, his eyes lit up and he immediately went to greet him: "Uncle Li, why are you here?"
If it weren't for Uncle Li's introduction, she might have contracted the No. 8 Canteen by accident. It is Uncle Li's contribution that she has become the boss now.
The contractor looked a little embarrassed, but soon regained his composure: "You came here to tell us that you had contracted the canteen. Today they didn't want to eat the food I cooked and insisted on changing the taste. So I asked them to take care of your business."
Luo Huaian was a little confused when she heard his words. When she was moving bricks at their construction site, she had a lunch of pork stewed with vermicelli made by the contractor. The pork stewed with vermicelli had plenty of meat and a strong meaty flavor, and the vermicelli used was authentic Northeastern vermicelli, which was chewy and fragrant. It had a unique flavor when stewed in a huge iron pot.
Luo Huaian asked the question in his mind: "Pork stewed with vermicelli? I think it's pretty good."
Next to the contractor was a thinner man, everyone called him Xiao Li. Xiao Li scratched his head, showed a simple smile, and said to Luo Huaian with a smile: "Hey, the foreman can only make pork stewed with vermicelli, no matter how delicious it is, it can't last for 360 days."
After hearing what Xiao Li said, the contractor grumbled to himself, pork stewed with vermicelli is so delicious, how could he get tired of it.
The contractor then said in dissatisfaction: "If you don't like my cooking, you can make it yourself."
The workers around were silent for a moment. The food they cooked was worse than the other. It was worse than pork stewed with vermicelli!
Luo Huaian couldn't help laughing and tried to smooth things over: "Then go and line up and try my cooking."
"Okay." Everyone nodded and walked towards the food window on the left.
The contractor was disliked by his fellow workers, and he felt a little aggrieved, and a feeling of gloating arose spontaneously. His daughter, who was as old as Luo Huaian, couldn't even cook a meal, and when they came to build the teaching building, the construction company had given them meal coupons for all canteens. When they first came, they were full of longing for the nationally renowned Aviation University and wanted to experience the delicious food in the university cafeteria, but they came back with a gloomy face after one trip.
You can imagine the taste of these dishes that even the picky workers stay away from.
The contractor couldn't help but speculate that the reason why such a young girl like Luo Huaian was able to contract the canteen was probably because she had reached a consensus on dark cuisine with other canteens!
Humph, sooner or later these people will realize their mistakes and return to the arms of pork stewed with vermicelli.
The contractor walked calmly with his hands behind his back, not in a hurry at all. He thought nothing could be better than the pork stewed with vermicelli he made, so he didn't have any hope for this meal.
But after a while, he realized that something was wrong. Why were everyone so excited?
The contractor looked up at the crowd. His workers were not as depressed as he had imagined. Instead, they were enthusiastic and kept saying, "I want this!", "Give me more!", and "It smells so good!"
The contractor did not choose to queue up, but walked to the lunch window to look at the lunch boxes. This sight made him stunned.
These dishes were completely different from the dark cuisine he had imagined, they looked so good. The braised pork was three layers of five belly, bright red, emitting steaming heat, and the fat was boiled out of oil, very plump, like amber.
In psychology, strong colors like red and green can stimulate people's appetite, and the cooking method of braised pork in brown sauce makes full use of the magic of colors. Braised pork in brown sauce has an attractive color, rich flavor, and a soft texture, which can satisfy the taste needs of 99.9% of people.
The contractor looked at the braised pork, his eyes staring straight ahead, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a gulp.
But just when he was fascinated by the braised pork, a hateful big spoon scooped up the braised pork one spoonful at a time.
A familiar voice came from the worker next to me: "I have never seen such beautiful braised pork. It looks as good as the ones on TV food shows. Give me one quickly."
"Three layers of pork belly, alternating between fat and lean. This pork belly looks authentic. I want two servings."
As more and more orders were placed, there was less and less braised pork in the lunch box.
When the contractor saw this situation, he suddenly woke up from his dream and thought something was wrong. He quickly took his plate and walked to the back of the line.
But he arrived too late, the line was too long, and he could only watch the amount of braised pork in his lunch box dwindle, until only a few pieces were left. He looked at other windows with hope, but braised pork was the best of the best that would never go out of style, and almost everyone loved it, so the lunch boxes at other windows had already been sold out.
Contractor: “…” I regret it. I regret it now.
Fortunately, when it was finally his turn, there were still two pieces of braised pork left.
Yu San looked at the obviously insufficient portion of braised pork and felt a headache: "There are only so many left, do you want more?"
"Yes, yes." The contractor nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
These are the last two pieces of braised pork left!
Yu San counted the pieces of braised pork with his fingers and whispered to himself, "There are eight pieces of braised pork in one serving, and there are only two left. How much should I charge?"
He has only recently been introduced to arithmetic and is a bit slow to learn, but compared to his younger brothers and sisters, he is fast.
Contractor: "..." This is an arithmetic problem that a three-year-old can solve. This boy looks good, but why is his brain a little "fishy"?
Before Yu San finished calculating the number, the contractor had already calculated it. He ordered a few other dishes and quickly handed the meal ticket to Yu San. By the time the young man finished calculating, his meal was cold!
Yu San took the meal coupon, calculated it and found that it was indeed this number, so he nodded and handed the plate to the contractor.
The contractor found a seat and sat down, eager to taste the braised pork. At this moment, Xiao Li's cell phone rang.
The call was from Xiao Li's eight-year-old daughter.
Xiao Li picked up the phone and asked happily: "Dear daughter, why did you think of calling Dad?"
To prevent loss of connection, please remember the alternate domain name of this site:
A childish voice came from the microphone: "Dad, have you eaten?"
Xiao Li: "I'm eating. Have you eaten?"
Daughter: “I’ve eaten.”
Xiao Li chatted with his daughter for a while, and his daughter suddenly asked, "Dad, did you eat meat for lunch? You work hard, you need to eat more meat to grow stronger."
Xiao Li smiled and said, "Dad ate a lot of meat, it was really delicious."
The contractor paused when he heard what he said and turned to look at Xiao Li's plate. There were only hot and sour potato shreds and white rice on the plate. Where was the meat?
There is a lot of money on the construction site, but without the workers' blood and sweat, there would be no infrastructure maniacs. Working on the construction site is tiring and hard, and life-threatening if you are not careful. Other workers will at least treat themselves to a good meal after receiving their wages, but Xiao Li is very frugal every day. This group of workers, like him, are from Lijia Village. He knows a little bit of the inside story. Xiao Li's daughter is in poor health and has been hospitalized for many years, so he really needs to save money.
The daughter expressed disbelief, so Xiao Li had to say, "She really ate it."
When his daughter asked for a video call, Xiao Li looked helpless, held down the phone, and whispered, "My daughter is very cunning."
The contractor exchanged his plate with Xiao Li and said, "That's it. You can make a video call."
Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, smiled at him gratefully, and then turned on the video call.
A very cute little girl appears in the picture.
Adults always think that children don't understand things, but in fact, children know a lot. When she saw her father was reluctant to start the video call, she felt very sad and almost cried. After the picture appeared, the little girl hurried to find the meat on her father's plate and immediately saw the braised pork.
When she saw the braised pork, the tears in her eyes fell down instantly.
Xiao Li quickly asked: "What's wrong?"
The little girl stared at the braised pork in the picture and couldn't help saying, "It looks so delicious!"
The braised pork has a crystal clear skin, the fat is white and plump, and the lean meat is soft and tasty. Just by looking at it, you can imagine how delicious it tastes.
Xiao Li: “…”
Xiao Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Her daughter was crying because she was greedy for the braised pork!
The little girl accidentally spoke out her true feelings, her face turned as red as an apple. After telling her father to eat well, she quickly wanted to hang up the phone.
Xiao Li was a little disappointed and excited: "This is the braised pork sold in the cafeteria of the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. It's not convenient to take it back. If you want to eat it, you can apply to the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in the future! How are your studies recently?"
Little girl: “…”
"Dad, eat well. I'm hanging up first!" The little girl hung up the phone quickly. After seeing her father eat meat, she felt relieved. As for taking the entrance exam for Aviation University... this was not what the little baby wanted to hear.
Xiao Li: “…”
Xiao Li returned the plate and said to the contractor with a smile, "Boss, my daughter is cute, isn't she?"
Contractor: “…very cute.” Her expression when she was asked about studying was so real.
The contractor collected his thoughts, gave a piece of the braised pork on the plate to Xiao Li, and said in a teaching tone: "Eating is the most important thing. We do physical work and cannot harm our health. No matter how much money we spend in the future, it will not make up for it. Only when we are healthy can we spend more time with our families." He and the workers came from the same village and had a deep relationship. At the same time, he was also the elder of these workers and was deeply respected by them.
Xiao Li didn't refuse, he smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Seeing his expression, the contractor knew that he had listened, so he breathed a sigh of relief and picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into his mouth.
The full name of the braised pork made by Luo Huaian should be called ancient braised pork. Nowadays, dark soy sauce contains sugar color, which can be used to color the braised pork, but Luo Huaian did not use this method. Instead, he used the ancient method of boiling sugar color, slowly boiling one spoonful of water and one spoonful of sugar until the sugar juice bubbles.
She stir-fried the braised pork, removed excess fat, and then simmered it over low heat for more than two hours, so that the fat and the lean meat were alternated, the fat melted in the mouth, and the braised pork was truly fat but not greasy. Finally, the braised pork sauce was dried up, and after the sauce boiled violently and evaporated, it became viscous and wrapped around the pork.
The contractor was shocked by the feeling on his tongue.
How can there be such delicious braised pork in the world?
The braised pork has a rich and mellow broth, and the braised pork itself has a thin skin and tender meat, which is crispy but not broken, fragrant and glutinous but not greasy, and so delicious that it is difficult to describe in words.
The contractor couldn't help but think of Su Dongpo.
If we talk about the origin of braised pork, Su Dongpo must be the most powerful fan. It was he who pushed the dish to the top. Su Dongpo once wrote a song about stewing meat: "Cook slowly, use less water, and the firewood will not produce smoke. Wait for it to cook naturally, don't rush it, it will be delicious when the fire is enough."
Some people like to eat lean meat but not fat, while others like to eat fat but not lean meat. However, braised pork can meet the tastes of most people. It is fat but not greasy, lean but not dry, and can be called a delicious meat.
The contractor swallowed the braised pork silently, turned to look at Xiao Li next to him, and felt a little regretful.
If he could go back in time, he would definitely not share his braised pork with Xiao Li. If he could go back in time twice as much, he would definitely not doubt Luo Huaian's cooking skills!
When everyone started eating, there were exclamations in the cafeteria that lasted for a long time, but soon the sound died down because everyone was busy eating and had no time to care about anything else.
After the meal, everyone gathered around Luo Huaian.
A worker gave a thumbs up and said, "Wow, I never knew your craftsmanship was this good!"
Another worker nodded repeatedly: "Oh my god, how did you manage to make the vegetables taste like that? What are your hands like?"

Another worker looked bewildered: "I regret it."
Luo Huaian was very happy to hear others' sincere praise. After hearing the worker's regretful words, she wondered: "What's wrong? Is my cooking not delicious?"
Logically speaking, this is impossible! Her cooking skills were personally recognized by the Kitchen God. The Kitchen God is the ancestor of all cooks. If the Kitchen God's recognition is not valuable, then there will be no cooks in the world who can cook delicious food.
The worker looked constipated: "After eating the food you cooked, how can I eat the pork stewed with vermicelli made by the foreman in the future?"
They are all related relatives, and the contractor is usually in a good mood, so the workers are not afraid of making fun of him at all.
Contractor: “…” So angry.
After chatting for a while, everyone went back to work, leaving only the contractor behind.
Luo Huaian liked the contractor very much. Uncle Li was really nice. He not only introduced her to a job, but also introduced her to business!
The workers were also very nice, willing to spend money and good at talking, and they praised her to the point of being flattered. Although not all the vegetables were sold out, there were not many left.
She grew the vegetables she used herself, and raised the chickens and pigs herself. If you don't count the water and electricity, it can be said that she made almost no cost. She made a huge net profit today.
Luo Huaian was looking forward to their visit again, so he asked, "Uncle Li, will you come again in the evening?"
"We plan to open the canteen all day, from 6am to 8pm. But now the stall is too small and has not been officially put into operation. We only have food at noon and dinner time, but it will be more prosperous in the future."
“Do you have braised pork?”
"have."
The contractor nodded immediately: "Come back in the evening."
Luo Huaian smiled. It seemed that he could make a lot of money again in the evening.
Humph, those students said that the Eighth Canteen was haunted every day and refused to come here to eat. She didn't care about them! With the help of her worker friends, she could make a lot of money.
However, at this moment, the contractor suddenly said, "What a pity, we won't be able to eat such delicious braised pork for a few days."
Luo Huaian: “???”
"Why?"
The contractor felt very sorry and said, "Didn't you notice before? Our project is about to end. This is a summer project, and the school deliberately arranged it to start when most students are not in school. We are already in the final stages of the work. According to the current situation, it will be finished in less than a week, and we will move on to the next construction site."
Luo Huaian: "..."
After his worker friends left, Luo Huaian began to think about how to open up the student market with a sad face, sitting in a chair without saying a word.
Although the guests were very well-mannered and did not leave any garbage, and the lunch boxes were placed in the designated area, the table still needed to be cleaned again.
Yu Da wiped the table carefully with a clean rag, feeling very unhappy.
Yu Da looked up at the iron lunch boxes behind the food window, and felt as if his heart was being pulled, which was particularly painful. The braised pork was the best-selling dish, and it was all sold out. There were not many other dishes left.
Damn, how come the boss has such a wide network of contacts! How come he is so lucky!
At this time, someone else came to the cafeteria. Principal Wen came in with a group of school leaders.
Luo Huaian looked up, with a question mark hanging on his head: "Principal Wen, why are you here?"
Yu Da looked at Principal Wen with hope and stepped closer to him. He almost forgot that he also had connections, and they were very powerful - the principal loved them! Although the principal was a little afraid of them, he was now in human form, a dashing human form, so he shouldn't be afraid of them now.
Hehe, maybe he can take over the Eighth Canteen by taking advantage of the principal's favor. He doesn't want to be a cleaner anymore, he wants to be the boss and let Luo Huaian work for him and cook for him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Principal Wen saw him, he immediately turned around, and his originally majestic figure became a little flustered: "Don't come over here!"
Yu Da: “…” Scumbag!
Yu Da felt aggrieved and could not help but step forward and questioned, "I am a human now!"
Principal Wen looked extremely unhappy, and his friendly smile disappeared completely. He turned his head away, not wanting to look at Yu Da at all: "Humans and demons are on different paths, please respect yourself."
The image of a carp with wings speaking human language was so deeply rooted in people's minds that Principal Wen still remembers it vividly. The fish's transformation into a human form did not make his fear disappear, but made it worse, creating a sense of disconnection between reality and illusion in his mind.
Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years.
Principal Wen couldn't help but feel suspicious. Since the manta ray could transform from a fish into a human and move around in the world, then it was possible that the other people he met in life were also monsters.
Principal Wen looked around, scanning his colleagues around him and finally stopping at Luo Huaian.
Seeing him staring at him, Luo Huaian smiled politely, a very bright smile.
Principal Wen was infected by her smile and breathed a sigh of relief. His worries were a bit unnecessary. They were so normal, how could they be monsters?
Because there were other people present, Principal Wen deliberately lowered his voice so that only a few school leaders who were familiar with the situation heard it.
