Chapter 34 Meow Meow
Don’t say it, don’t say it.
The two words 'master' and 'turtle' look really similar!
Taotie was quiet for a while, as if thinking about something.
After a moment, his dark golden pupils narrowed lazily, and the big man, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, surrounded Jian Yunlan and shouted at the top of his voice: "Master, you are so good to me, Master~"
Jian Yunlan: "..."
You are calling the master, but what you are thinking about is the turtle, right? ! !
The housekeeper who was watching quietly held his old face in his hands excitedly and smiled shyly:
Oh, Young Master and Lord Taotie, they are really interesting.
This is what young people like, master-servant play?
Write it down in a small notebook.
And the other side.
Jian Yunlan showed a dead fish look, carried three dishes and a soup to the living room and placed them on the table. Taotie followed him very 'obediently', step by step, and sat down at the dining table.
Jian Yunlan served herself a bowl of rice and began to eat in silence.
Taotie: “?”
Taotie sat there with his big horse and golden sword.
After waiting for a long time and not seeing Jian Yunlan serve him food, he suddenly became a little anxious.
"King... No, Master," Taotie said in a strange tone, "Where is my meal?"
Jian Yunlan: "Are you disabled? Go get it yourself."
Taotie is silent.
Jian Yunlan ate very quickly, and the chopsticks almost left a shadow when waving around.
Mmmm, sweet and sour, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, delicious.
In just a short while, he had already eaten most of the sweet and sour pork ribs.
"You're not going to eat?" Jian Yunlan glanced at Taotie, "Is the food not to your taste? Oh, oh, what a pity, I'll finish it then."
Taotie slammed the table in anger and leaned forward. The shadow of Taotie's body loomed over him, and the cow bone shoulder armor emerged. The cold wind that seemed to come from another world blew Jian Yunlan's clothes into pieces:
"Human, you simply don't know what is good for you. I have been very kind to you—"
Jian Yunlan brought out another plate of sweet and sour pork ribs from under the table as if by magic: "This is what I left for you."
Taotie's expression changed in a second.
"Master, why didn't you say so earlier?" He was unable to stop the movement of Taotie just transforming into his original form. His long silver hair fell down. The handsome man with a fierce and fierce face stretched out his hand, pushed Jian Yunlan's shoulder, and said coquettishly, "You are bad."
Jian Yunlan: "..."
Taotie: “…………”
They both shuddered at the same time.
So embarrassing and scary.
I got goosebumps all over my body!
Taotie sat down with a red face, got himself a bowl and chopsticks to serve himself rice, buried his head in the rice and began to eat in silence.
Jian Yunlan didn't know what expression to use to answer, so she could only serve herself another bowl of rice and started eating in silence.
After a while, Jian Yunlan said casually while eating:
"From now on, don't call me Lord—"
Taotie: "Shut up."
Jian Yunlan didn't dare to say anything more. He was afraid that if he continued talking, Taotie would become upset.
The meal ended awkwardly.
After dinner.
It's still early today, but tomorrow is the last day of setting up the stall. Jian Yunlan wants to bring out his best and present a feast for the diners.
So…what to do?
Speaking of fried rice, there is a particularly classic fried rice that Jian Yunlan has never sold.
——Yangzhou fried rice!
Since we are doing it, we must make it as authentic as possible.
Many people think that Yangzhou fried rice is just ordinary egg fried rice with some extra seasoning, but it is not. The cooking method of Yangzhou fried rice is very special, and requires the chef to have a very high ability to control details. Of course, Jian Yunlan, who has top-level cooking skills, has no problem in this regard.
However, he was not sure whether authentic Yangzhou fried rice was suitable for setting up a street stall, and whether he could collect all the ingredients within one day.
To make authentic Yangzhou fried rice, there are more than a dozen ingredients, which is very complicated.
That’s the fun of setting up a stall.
Keep challenging yourself!
Since I have decided to make Yangzhou fried rice, I can’t wait until tomorrow morning to get up to buy vegetables. Jian Yunlan packed up and went out to the vegetable market in the afternoon.
"Maomao, come with me. We need to buy a lot of vegetables today. It's not enough for me alone."
Jian Yunlan grabbed Taotie who was taking a nap and had transformed back into his dog form.
Taotie yawned lazily, stood up, and shook his fur: "..."
Good host.
Jian Yunlan: "Are you calling me a cuckold in your heart?"
Taotie: “?”
No, how can a human read minds? !
Soon, the man and the dog arrived at the vegetable market. When they saw the familiar tricycle, the owners of the vegetable market looked over enthusiastically, greeted him, and said:
"Boss Jian! You come so early again today."
"We have fresh chicken from our home, free-range chicken. Buy some and give Boss Jian a discount~"
"Hey, isn't this Maomao? Hahaha, Maomao turns out to be Boss Jian's dog."
Many people still have an impression of Taotie. After all, the last time he came as a dog to help his owner buy groceries, it was indeed very impressive. Many people came up to him and praised him, saying, "He's so handsome," "He's so smart," and "He's so impressive!"
Taotie held his head high and chest puffed out, his proud little look was unmatched.
"Boss Jian, what do you want to buy? We'll help you look for it so you don't waste time looking around for a long time without buying anything!" said Mr. Li from the butcher shop happily.
The owners of the vegetable market are nice to Jian Yunlan, not only because Jian Yunlan pays promptly and never bargains, but also because Jian Yunlan has really helped a lot of people in the vegetable market.
For example, Tong Ling, a high school student who used to help her grandfather set up a stall in the corner over there, was diligent and her life was hard. Everyone saw how hard she worked and how hard she lived. They wanted to help, but they could only worry because they couldn't take care of themselves. Later, Tong Ling took advantage of Boss Jian's popularity and opened an online store, so she could concentrate on her studies.
There is also Aunt Ning, who is a housekeeper by profession, but often sells chili sauce here. Ever since Boss Jian started purchasing chili sauce from her, he no longer has to travel back and forth across half the city every day. I heard that she has saved enough money to move, and her family is living a better and better life.
Everyone was happy for them from the bottom of their hearts.
It's a similar situation for Mr. Li who works at the butcher shop. Ever since his youngest son was diagnosed with a rare disease, he has been working hard at the stall every day, trying his best to make money to fill the hole. But how can the sky-high medical expenses be covered by selling meat?
Just when they were about to run out of options, the person in charge of the Peking University South Second Canteen came to them and said that the school students were strongly requesting to eat the pork that Mr. Jian, the owner of the snack stand, purchased. Boss Jian gave them the contact information of Mr. Li from the butcher shop.
With such a big client as Peking University South Second Canteen, Mr. Li's life instantly became a lot easier. He now has a solution for his medical expenses and no longer needs to work at the expense of his health. He visibly smiles more often. Every time Jian Yunlan comes to the vegetable market, Lao Li is the first to greet her.
All of this was seen by everyone.
There is not much they can do. Every time Boss Jian comes to buy groceries, even though they know he is not short of money, they will still secretly give him a discount and pick the best quality items for him whatever he wants to buy.
"I want to make Yangzhou fried rice tomorrow, and I may need your help," Jian Yunlan smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I want to buy chicken, chicken gizzards, winter bamboo shoots, sea cucumbers, flower mushrooms, scallops..."
At first, the stall owners listened carefully and tried to memorize.
Soon everyone's forehead was covered with sweat.
No, who can remember this!
"Boss Jian, please say it again."
Everyone took out their notebooks or opened their cell phone memos, with serious expressions.
Jian Yunlan was deeply touched. He didn't expect that everyone was really willing to help him find the ingredients. This was a great help.
——If he were to look for it alone, he might not be able to find everything, or even the best and highest quality ingredients, even after searching for a whole day and night.
So Jian Yunlan said it again.
"Okay!" Lao Li wrote down everything and began to assign tasks:
"Old Wang, Aunt Zhang, go ask about these. I remember that the stall in the south sells the best quality items sold by Grandma Wang." "Aunt He, Xiao Chen, go find these..." "Boss Xu, Xiao Lingdang, these are for you."
Everyone responded, took up their respective tasks, and started searching quickly in the vegetable market.
So, such a magical scene appeared in the vegetable market.
Customers who came to buy vegetables all looked sideways - so many market owners were enthusiastically surrounding a young man, helping him find ingredients all over the market.
What’s worse, the owner of the vegetable market who was greeting them just a second ago suddenly stood up and ran away?
In the team looking for food, there was also a particularly eye-catching big silver dog with cash hanging around its neck. It looked left and right with an elegant and arrogant look on its face, looking quite smart. From time to time, it would point at a dish with its paw to pay.
"Is this a VIP user of the vegetable market?" Everyone looked at Jian Yunlan enviously.
...Wait, can the vegetable market have VIP users? !
With the help of the owner of the vegetable market, Jian Yunlan quickly gathered all the dishes in less than an hour.
Using the Eye of the God of Cooking, they found that the ingredients were all of very good quality and fresh. Even the diced ham looked like authentic Jinhua ham, which emitted a rich purple light under the judgment of the Eye of the God of Cooking.
Taotie raised his head proudly: I was the one who found the diced ham!
Looking at the simple smiling faces of the vegetable market owners, Jian Yunlan wished she could hug them and give each of them a kiss: "Thank you, everyone. Thank you so much."
"Oh, it's just a piece of cake." "Boss Jian, please come here more often in the future. We old men and women are happy to see you!" "Yes, Boss Jian, please take care of your health and don't get too tired."
Most of the vegetable market owners are older than Jian Yunlan. They look at Jian Yunlan with a bit of concern as elders look at younger people.
Jian Yunlan grew up in an orphanage and seldom felt sincere care from her elders, so she felt warm in her heart and wanted to cry.
After helping Jian Yunlan load the food baskets onto the tricycle, everyone stood at the entrance of the vegetable market and watched Jian Yunlan leave. Jian Yunlan was about to turn the corner, and everyone was still waving:
"Boss Jian, please be safe!"
"You have to come tomorrow, too."
"We're waiting for you!"
After returning to the villa, Jian Yunlan, with the help of Taotie and the housekeeper, unloaded more than a dozen kinds of food one by one and put them in different categories.
Unlike most fried rice, Yangzhou fried rice requires soup.
The base soup for making Jinhua original soup is chicken soup. Jian Yunlan first boils the chicken soup over low heat all night, and then she can start cooking Jinhua original soup the next day. In addition, the chicken, chicken gizzards, winter bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, etc. need to be diced, and the shrimps need to be peeled and the shrimp threads removed.
Jian Yunlan's knife skills are amazing. He puts the chicken on the chopping board, turns the knife in his hand, and with a flicker of the shadow, he cuts out a series of uniformly sized, exquisite and beautiful cubes of meat.
Taotie stared at it for a long time but couldn't figure out how he was able to cut the meat into such even-sized cubes.
More accurate and beautiful than machine cutting.
This is the power of maximum level cooking skills!
The next day.
Jian Yunlan got up early and put the diced chicken, chicken gizzards, shiitake mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots and sea cucumber into a hot pan with cold oil to preheat the pan, and then stir-fry the chopped green onions. The chicken soup that had been simmered overnight was now extremely fragrant, with a delicate milky white color and bubbling slightly while hot.
Pour the chicken soup into the preheated ingredients, then add small, translucent shrimps and scallops, and simmer for another half an hour, and you will have a pot of Jinhua soup.
Everything was ready. Jian Yunlan loaded the two large iron pots that would be used today onto the tricycle, and then loaded the Taotie on a dog chain onto the back seat, and then he rode the tricycle himself.
Set up the stall!
.
Turn back the time a little.
Yunchuan District Police Station.
Their police station usually deals with minor matters such as conflicts between neighbors, disputes over square dancing, and marital discord. Occasionally, they also receive ideological education cases involving teenagers fighting.
But today, two rare guests came to the police station.
It's the off-season recently and there's nothing to do. Many police officers are just bored and are flipping through documents and chatting. Ever since these two people came in, everyone immediately became excited and listened to the gossip with their ears perked up.
Especially the new female police officer Xiao Xiao in the station, who came over from time to time to serve tea and water, and was so attentive. In fact, she just wanted to take a few more glances at the handsome guy.
“Wow!”
Policeman Lao Zhang sat on a chair, holding a teacup, and looked at the two people's information:
"You two are both very famous. One of you is the top student in the province and has won the national scholarship for three years at the School of Computer Science of Beijing University. The other one is the president of Yuanzhou Group and has made the Forbes list at such a young age. Wow."
Lao Zhang took a sip of tea and glanced at the two of them.
Across the aisle, Ning Sheng and Gu Xingzhou squatted down with their heads in their hands. They were both over 1.80 meters tall and their temperament did not make them look like ordinary people. Their long legs were curled up in a slightly cowardly manner, and their faces were full of reluctance and anger.
He is innocent, he is just seeking revenge and grievances. Gu Xingzhou is the one who broke the law! Ning Sheng thought angrily.
He is the innocent one. Ning Sheng beat him so hard that he almost lost his temper! Gu Xingzhou thought aggrievedly.
Looking at their expressions, Lao Zhang knew that they had a lot to say in their hearts, and each one was more unwilling to admit defeat:
"Now you know you're unhappy. Why weren't you ashamed of fighting in front of so many people? You're already grown up, not a child anymore."
"We also received a case of a fight yesterday. It was between two vocational high school kids who got into a fight over equipment in the game. They came to us for tea and a lecture, and each of them wrote a 2,000-word self-criticism."
Old Zhang pointed at the two talented people and said angrily: "What about you? You are not even as good as children? How many words do you want to write to self-criticize?"
"Comrade police officer," Gu Xingzhou couldn't help it any longer, he raised his head and pointed at Ning Sheng, his dark eyes full of disbelief, he said unconvincedly, "He hit me first, I was just defending myself! He was jealous that I had fried rice to eat, he scolded me, and beat me, if I didn't protect myself, he would have killed me..."
As he spoke, his face turned pale and he covered his lower body, "Comrade police officer, do you understand my pain? You arrest him, I am innocent!"
Ning Sheng couldn't hold it in any longer. His cold and handsome eyes were full of hostility. He glared at Gu Xingzhou and said, "You shameless villain! Police comrade, don't listen to his slander. He doesn't deserve to eat Boss Jian's fried rice."
"I am innocent. He has relied on his privilege to do too many things to bully men and women!"
Old Zhang was amazed when he heard this.
I have to say, educated people behave differently when they quarrel, and they use this idiom in a very authentic way.
"Fried rice? So the reason you fought was really for a bowl of fried rice?" Lao Zhang said in disbelief. When he first heard it, he thought it was a joke.
Could this fried rice be inlaid with gold? Why did these two people quarrel like this? !
"That's not just an ordinary bowl of fried rice," Ning Sheng was no longer sleepy when she talked about fried rice. Her delicate eyebrows were no longer angry, but tender and affectionate. "Boss Jian's fried rice is special. Of course, his wontons are not inferior... In short, fried rice and I are a natural match, born to be together."
Gu Xingzhou sneered at the side: "What a perfect match, why doesn't the country use your face to research bulletproof vests?"
Ning Sheng: “…”
Next second.
Ning Sheng looked at Gu Xingzhou with murderous eyes, and Gu Xingzhou glared back at him.
The flame that had finally cooled down exploded again with a puff!
Ning Sheng suddenly jumped up, new and old hatreds surged in his heart again. He rushed over and slapped Gu Xingzhou three times in the face: "Do you think I'm afraid of you? I've had a rabies vaccine!"
“?” Gu Xingzhou was stunned for half a second before he reacted. He immediately raised his eyebrows and tried to fight back like an angry lion, “You are the mad dog! Woof woof woof, keep barking!”
After saying that, he turned to look at Lao Zhang again: "Comrade police officer, you saw it all. He was the first to start the fight! He almost beat me to death!"
"Well, you snitch," Ning Sheng gritted his teeth and threw a heavy left hook, "Why didn't I make you the captain of the Young Pioneers?"
Gu Xingzhou dodged a sweeping kick from behind, and although blood was flowing from his lips, he still smiled charmingly and elegantly: "How do you know I'm not?"
Lao Zhang: “…”
The entire police station was shocked by the noise.
I have seen enemies, but I have never seen a fight in the police station. They don't even want to pretend.
Lao Zhang waved his baton and said, "Separate yourself! Hold your heads and squat down!"
After another period of chaos and war.
Ning Sheng and Gu Xingzhou were separated further and handcuffed.
Now he is completely obedient.
...if you ignore the fact that they are trying to lip-sync to each other.
Old Zhang held his forehead and felt a buzzing in his head and a severe headache.
It really shortens your life!
"Self-review, 5,000 words, not a single word less," Lao Zhang glared at the two men and handed them paper and pens, "Don't write nonsense, write from the heart."
——"When you finish writing, you can leave!"
After saying that, Lao Zhang put down the teacup heavily and walked out.
Ning Sheng: “…”
Gu Xingzhou: “…”
bother.
Ning Sheng has always been the top student in the grade and a three-good student with excellent conduct since he was a child. He has never written a self-criticism in his life. It’s not that I can’t write, it’s just... it’s too embarrassing!
His left hand was still handcuffed to the wall, and his right hand was holding a pen. The ink was spreading on the paper, and he was unable to write.
It’s all Gu Xingzhou’s fault.
Ning Sheng raised his head and glared at Gu Xingzhou fiercely from a distance.
Gu Xingzhou was not to be outdone and was glaring back at him sinisterly.
Gu Xingzhou's right hand was handcuffed to the wall. He looked disheveled, with tissue stuffed in his nose - he had a nosebleed from the punch Ning Sheng had just given him.
As a person who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Gu Xingzhou has always had everything he wanted in his life. Although his father is strict with him, people around him still praise him. Although Gu Xingzhou was domineering in school, no one could stop him! No one dared to ask him to write a self-criticism!
It’s all Ning Sheng’s fault.
...Gu Xingzhou had almost forgotten how not long ago he had called her "Ah Sheng" all the time, thinking of her affectionately and wanting to make her his own.
It turned out that he had never seen through Ning Sheng's true face.
Ning Sheng is not a cold, stubborn and naive little white flower at all, but a strong-willed and ruthless hedgehog. Gu Xingzhou was not as skilled as his opponent, and today he was almost beaten by Ning Sheng. He felt pain all over his body and was completely embarrassed!
Whose domineering president is being beaten by a pretty girl?
Gu Xingzhou put the pen to his lips and pretended to be nonchalant and carefree.
Whoever wants to write the self-criticism can do it. Anyway, he is not wrong, so he won't write it.
Gu Xingzhou has mysterious confidence in his "professional team" - he is the president of Yuanzhou Group. At this moment, his capable subordinates should be anxiously thinking about how to get him out.
...At the same time, the secretary who had taken a day off early and was happily eating spicy hot pot: "A-choo?" Who was thinking about him?
The secretary thought of Mr. Gu and wondered how he was doing now and whether he had enough food and clothes in the police station... But Mr. Gu said that Mr. Gu should be allowed to exercise, and the secretary didn't want to waste her precious weekends working overtime for free.
Mr. Gu, Buddha will bless you.
The secretary clasped his hands together.
Let’s turn the camera back to the police station:
Humph, when he gets out, he will definitely let the world know how powerful he is...
Gu Xingzhou thought proudly.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Outside the window, day turns into night and night falls. Lao Zhang came to see them every half an hour. Seeing that they hadn't said a word, he laughed angrily: "Okay, okay, you don't want to write a self-criticism, right?"
"Then just wait and see!"
Ning Sheng's expression was indifferent and at ease, as if everything was under control.
But although Gu Xingzhou appeared calm on the surface, he was a little panicked inside.
Wait, where is the person who rescued him?
What about his professional team? ? !
And finally, when the clock hands passed twelve, a new day arrived.
Ning Sheng was actually a little panicked.
After glancing at the clock, he struggled for a moment, then picked up the pen and began to write a self-criticism.
Gu Xingzhou, who had been observing Ning Sheng, initially laughed at him in his heart for being spineless.
When he saw the time, Gu Xingzhou was also shocked:
——There are less than nine hours left until Boss Jian’s next stall!
Something terrible is happening! ! !
