Chapter 78: No Money, No Eating Out
Those who had plenty of money would go to Wang Zhenzhu to place their orders.
"Hey, give me one serving of this too. What is this dish? It smells so good!"
"I want one too. I saw the people at that table just now eating this. It looks spicy and crispy! It smells so good. I'm drooling as I sit next to them!"
"I want one too. I want one too. Give me two!"
.........
Looking at the crowds of people in front of her who all wanted to eat the dishes made by Song Shiwei, Wang Zhenzhu was so angry that smoke was about to come out of her head.
"Why are you messing around? There are no dishes! It's just a fish. What's so delicious about it? If you want to eat it, go home and catch it yourself!"
If she looked down on Song Shiwei before, now she was filled with deep jealousy!
right! Just jealousy!
Who among all the people present would not praise the delicious food she cooked?
Even Manager Zhou couldn't help wiping the corners of his mouth when he came out of the kitchen, with smiles all over his eyes and eyebrows.
Not to mention the table of the big boss, as soon as the third dish was served, it was snapped up again.
Everyone's brows relaxed as they ate.
Wang Zhenzhu looked towards the kitchen and clenched the pen in her hand.
The fourth dish, Song Shiwei's monkfish with Sichuan peppercorns, is made with fish meat. This is the only good thing about this state-owned restaurant. It has almost all the condiments that ordinary people don't often eat, such as cooking wine, Sichuan peppercorns, Sichuan peppercorns, and bean paste.
To make this dish, she needs to cut the fish into thin slices, marinate it in advance, and use some vegetables as the base.
It’s similar to maoxuewang and boiled pork slices.
After the oil is hot, add the Sichuan peppercorns to bring out the aroma, then add the bean sprouts and bamboo shoots, a little salt, stir-fry over high heat until cooked, put into a bowl, then add the scallions and garlic slices, and stir-fry the bean paste until fragrant!
Then add water and cooking wine, and remove the soup residue!
Slide the marinated monkfish fillets into the pot, bring to boil, and quickly pour into a basin.
Sprinkle green and red pepper segments and Sichuan peppercorns on top and pour hot oil on top.
Don’t even mention the fragrance! !
For the fifth dish, Song Shiwei used the belly of monkfish.
Monkfish belly omelette!
Cut the freshly cleaned fish belly into thin strips and blanch it in 90-degree hot water. After taking it out, the fish belly will still be chewy and springy.
Leave some oil in the pan and add a little minced garlic to stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the chopped sauerkraut and blanched fish maw and stir-fry until fragrant.
Add soy sauce for coloring and set aside to cool.
Beat four eggs in a bowl, add the fried fish maw and some chopped green onions, wait for the oil in the pan to heat up, then slide the eggs into the pan to set.
When the eggs were fried in oil, the aroma immediately filled the air, mixed with the aroma of fish maw, chopped green onions, and sauerkraut foam, several aromas mixed together.
Not to mention how delicious!
When these two dishes were served, there was another crazy rush for them.
At this time, the kitchen door was already crowded with people, all waiting to see who could cook such delicious dishes.
I thought he must be an experienced chef.
So, when Song Shiwei took off her apron, washed her hands, and came out of the kitchen, no one realized that she was the "experienced old chef"!
Zhou Cheng, Zhou Lin and Xiao Zhang had been looking towards the kitchen. When they saw Song Shiwei coming out, the two children immediately went to greet her.
"Mom, you finally came out!"
"Mom, the food you cooked is so delicious! I didn't expect that this ugly fish could be made into such a delicious meal!"
Song Shiwei rubbed the two children's heads apologetically.
"Next time, when we catch monkfish, mom won't sell it. Instead, she'll make you something delicious!"
Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin have both grown up, unlike Zhou Wei and Xinxin. If they heard her say that, they would definitely clap their hands happily. But Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin just swallowed hard and shook their heads.
“It’s better to keep it and sell it!”
"Yes, it's a pity that we eat it. We can exchange this fish for cotton clothes!"
Song Shiwei felt sad when he saw how sensible these two children were.
It's almost twelve o'clock now.
"Are you starving? What do you want to eat? Mom brought the money and tickets today!"
Besides, Xiao Zhang has followed her for so long and helped her look after the two children. You can’t let him go hungry, right?
Besides, the cotton-padded jacket issue was resolved, so she felt relieved.
She led the two children to the window where Wang Zhenzhu ordered food and said to them with a smile, "What do you want to eat? Just order whatever you want!"
When Wang Zhenzhu heard her words, she looked at the two children in front of her. Although they were good-looking, they were wearing clothes made from old military uniforms. It was obvious that they were not children from wealthy families in Qingshi City.
I couldn't help but curl my lips.
Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin are reluctant to spend money recklessly, and even more reluctant to eat expensive food.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Mom, let's just buy some buns to eat!"
Even if Zhou Lin wanted to eat meat, he didn't dare to say anything. When he heard what his elder brother said, he nodded quickly: "Yes, Mom, I haven't eaten meat buns for a long time! Let's eat meat buns?"
At least there is meat in the meat buns!
Although the family's food had improved a lot since Song Shiwei came, Qilian Island was just an island after all, and it was difficult to buy anything, let alone two children. Even Song Shiwei had nowhere to buy meat.
The occasional meat available at the service points in the army had to be snatched away!
Just yesterday I went to the market and bought some meat and stewed it for the kids!
But how could Zhou Lin and his friends ever eat enough? For those who haven’t been able to eat meat for years, wouldn’t an occasional meal like that just arouse their appetite?
Song Shiwei naturally knew what the two children were thinking. She didn't want to let them down, and there was also Xiao Zhang.
"Then I want ten meat buns, one serving of braised pork in brown sauce, one serving of stir-fried pork with chili peppers, three bowls of noodles with meat, and a bowl of seaweed and egg soup!"
She didn't know how much Xiao Zhang ate, but she guessed that they trained all year round and consumed a lot of physical energy, so his appetite should be similar to Zhou Tingyue's, right? You can at least eat four or five steamed buns, right?
This meat bun is not even as big as a steamed bun! I guess Xiao Zhang can eat seven or eight of them by himself! It should be no problem for the two little ones to eat three each, but they can’t just eat buns, so Song Shiwei ordered three more bowls of noodles.
Make sure everyone has enough to eat! You can pack up the leftover buns and take them home!
The two children were very happy when they heard that so many items were ordered!
Although Zhou Cheng felt that it was a bit costly, Uncle Zhang was still with him, and he knew that he couldn't let Uncle Zhang go hungry.
Xiao Zhang felt a little embarrassed.
"I, I just need a bowl of noodles!"
Song Shi smiled and waved his hands: "How can I let you starve? Don't worry, just eat!"
Wang Zhenzhu looked at the people pushing and shoving each other in front of her and couldn't help but sneer: "Why go to a restaurant if you don't have money? Don't think you can eat and drink for free just because you cook a few dishes! Let me tell you, our state-owned restaurant doesn't serve free food!"
