The girl who was cutting vegetables next to him was named Xiao Cui. When she heard this, she showed a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Is it the handsome Captain Lu from before?"
Gu Qingcheng was silent for a moment, then said uncertainly: "Should be...right?"
After all, in Gu Qingcheng's opinion, Lu Shiyan is the most handsome among the group leaders.
"Oh my God!" Xiao Cui's eyes were filled with excitement, and she almost knelt down to Gu Qingcheng. "Sister-in-law, we were forced to do something today. We don't know how to cook, and we were just worrying about it, and then you came over."
"After waiting so long, the savior finally arrived!"
Gu Qingcheng chuckled and said, "I just happened to have some free time today, so I was thinking about coming over to see if there's anything I can do to help. What ingredients do we have in the cafeteria?"
The girl who was lighting the fire just now was called Xiaofang. She said quickly, "I'm so sleepy, sister-in-law, we have a lot of vegetables here, including greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, potatoes, etc. The seasonings are also quite complete, and we have both fat and lean meat."
Then things like sesame seeds, radishes, and chopped green onions are stored for a long time.
"Do you have any ideas? Xiao Cui and I are both amateurs. We will cooperate with you this time."
Gu Qingcheng looked around and saw that there was not enough meat, so it would be difficult to make some fancy moves with it.
Suddenly, an idea popped into her mind and she asked, "Do you have nori here? The kind made from seaweed."
Xiaofang thought for a moment and said, "This is true!"
She rummaged through the cafeteria's locker for a while and quickly took out a box of seaweed.
"I heard from the person in charge that this was delivered yesterday. It's quite fresh, but everyone feels that it's not filling enough." Xiaofang sighed and handed the seaweed to Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng took a look and found that the quality was top-notch. This was an island, so it was normal to see seaweed everywhere.
She said: "I plan to make some rice balls for everyone. The food is a bit more novel. We will have an hour to serve the meal. There is still enough time, but I need your help."
Both of them felt obliged to do so: "Sister-in-law, if you need anything, just tell me!"
Gu Qingcheng nodded: "Xiao Cui, go and help me cut the lean meat into cubes. It doesn't matter if they are a little smaller."
"Xiaofang, go and fry the fat in oil."
The two of them were doing their respective jobs. Gu Qingcheng saw that two large pots of rice were cooked in the kitchen, and the cucumbers and lettuces had already been cut.
Gu Qingcheng scooped the cooked rice out of the pot, then added a little salt and soy sauce, stirring it back and forth evenly so that the rice would not stick.
Next, she mixed the diced cucumber, carrot and meat and evenly added them into the rice, allowing it to mix thoroughly. She stirred back and forth for ten minutes and she felt it was almost done.
Next comes the final step.
Take out the appropriately mixed rice from the pot, shape it into a cylinder on your hands, then place it on the nori sheet, sprinkle with white sesame seeds, and a rice ball is ready.
Xiaofang and Xiaocui who were standing nearby witnessed the whole process with their eyes wide open.
"Sister-in-law, you have such a skillful hand!"
"Thank you for the compliment." Gu Qingcheng handed the rice balls to them, "Try it first to see if the taste is right and if the saltiness is moderate."
The two men had never seen such a scene before. They carefully took the rice ball, split it in half, and each tasted half.
They swallowed it gently, and a gleam of light flashed in their eyes, and their thumbs raised involuntarily.
"Sister-in-law! You did this absolutely amazingly."
“I’ve never tasted anything so delicious in my life.”
They didn't dare to eat too much at first, as they always felt that it was a precious thing and should be savored slowly. But after they finished the first bite, they quickly started to eat it with relish.
I finished the whole rice ball in just two bites. I couldn't control myself at all.
Gu Qingcheng smiled and said, "As long as it tastes good, did you see clearly how I made the rice balls just now?"
The two nodded: "I see clearly."
"Then come together and help me pack. I can't do it alone."
"Can the two of us...?"
The two were still a little hesitant. They didn't have the skills to cook it and they didn't want to waste such delicious food.
"Practice makes perfect." Gu Qingcheng started to wrap the second rice ball. "Although you are here temporarily to cook, you must have certain skills. There is no need to underestimate yourselves."
As he spoke, Gu Qingcheng moved quickly and had already wrapped the second rice ball.
"Look, isn't this done?"
Xiaofang and Xiaocui both found it magical, and immediately stood beside Gu Qingcheng, eager to try it out.
With Gu Qingcheng's encouragement, the two began to try.
Although the rice balls made at the beginning were not so ideal, by the time they were made later, they were almost indistinguishable from the ones made by Gu Qingcheng.
The smiles on their faces grew wider and wider, and they became more and more confident.
Everyone put the wrapped rice balls in a basket, arranging them in an orderly and neat manner.
Gu Qingcheng: "Isn't this great? The rice balls you made are all great. You are very talented."
"It's all because of your good teaching, sister-in-law. I just saw you wrap it twice. Your movements are slow and standard. It's hard for us to learn without understanding."
"Yes! It's all thanks to my sister-in-law. I've never done anything so proud in my life."
Xiaofang and Xiaocui both felt a sense of pride in their hearts. Why didn’t they realize before that they were so talented in cooking?
Gu Qingcheng was also very happy. She turned around and saw that there were still a lot of potatoes and seaweed left in the kitchen. She thought about cooking two more dishes.
She asked, "Xiao Cui, is there any leftover diced meat you just cut?"
"Yes." Xiao Cui quickly took the diced meat and said, "Sister-in-law, it's all here."
Gu Qingcheng nodded and walked straight towards the big pot.
Pour the meat oil.
The first dish was stir-fried spicy and sour potato shreds. Gu Qingcheng put all the potato shreds into the pot, holding the pot handle with her fair hands, holding the spatula with her left hand, turning the fire to the highest setting, and occasionally shaking the pot with her hands.
The moment she lifted it up, the yellow potato shreds in the pot flew into the air, huge sparks burned at the bottom of the pot, and the red light shone on Gu Qingcheng's face, reflecting bean-sized beads of sweat.
That’s not all. Gu Qingcheng’s technique was extremely flexible. He pushed the pot forward and then pulled it back, and the potato shreds that had been flipped out were neatly put back into the pot.
The technique of flipping and moving the pot left Xiaofang and Xiaocui, who were standing on the side, dumbfounded.
