Chapter 54 Stir-fried Eggs with Chives
Tang Yiyi went to a nearby print shop and printed more business cards. Many customers at these shops ask for business cards after they finish eating, and many of them are parents of students. Their children are used to eating in the school cafeteria and don't want to go out of the school to eat, so ordering lunch is much more convenient.
She also ordered a box of packaged lunch boxes and disposable chopsticks online, along with plastic bags. The express delivery was fast, and the items arrived two days later.
The shop owner left a message saying that she would give her a discount if she wanted to buy again in the future.
Tang Yiyi carried the box to the kitchen, opened the package, and took out the lunchbox and disposable chopsticks inside. Her phone chimed.
She received a friend request with the note "Grandpa Jianhao".
The first thing they asked was about the cleanliness of the environment and the freshness of the ingredients.
Tang Yiyi took photos of the kitchen and then took another photo of the dining room before sending them over. Of course, she didn't forget to tell them the shop's address.
Grandpa Jianhao put on his reading glasses and looked at the restaurant. He said that his house was near the restaurant, but he didn't want to eat out because of the hot weather, so he wanted to order takeout.
In addition, he wants to order two meals for lunch tomorrow. One is for him, an elderly person, because his teeth are not good and he needs to chew the food. The other is for a child who is seven or eight years old.
Apart from that, there are no major requirements regarding meals.
Tang Yiyi has already decided on tomorrow's menu: stir-fried yam and broccoli, and cola chicken legs. Yam is good for the stomach, broccoli is easy for the elderly to chew, and children like to eat chicken legs.
After recommending it to the customer, Grandpa Jianhao quickly replied that it was okay.
Stir-fried yam and broccoli is 16 yuan per serving, and cola chicken leg is 20 yuan.
Then Jianhao's grandfather sent him a red envelope containing 34 yuan and a message.
Please deliver the meal to the entrance of Building XX, XX Community.
【OK. 】
Another parent, whose contact name is "Cheng Yu's Mom," added her.
Tang Yiyi quickly clicked "agree," and the other party sent a voice message.
"My baby has a sensitive stomach and can't eat oily or spicy food. What dishes do you have for tomorrow?"
"The menu includes stir-fried yam and broccoli, cola chicken leg, stir-fried carrots and pork, and hot and sour shredded potatoes."
"I'd like to order stir-fried yam and broccoli and stir-fried carrots and pork for lunch tomorrow. Do your staff have health certificates? Are your food service licenses valid? Also, could you take a picture of the dishes before serving them and show it to me?"
Tang Yiyi sent over their health certificates and business licenses.
Regarding the final request, Tang Yiyi replied, "Please rest assured, we will do our best to ensure perfection and cleanliness. Photos of the food before it is served will be sent tomorrow."
To everyone's surprise, Cheng Yu's mother was still not satisfied after seeing the photos. First, she said it was too expensive, charging more than ten yuan for a single vegetarian dish. Then, she said that after finding photos of the restaurant, she found that it was too small and worried that the hygiene was substandard.
Tang Yiyi felt exhausted. Each dish cost more than ten yuan, including labor and ingredient costs, so she only received a few yuan.
Tang Yiyi didn't listen to the voice message sent by the parent later, and continued preparing the ingredients.
Teacher Wang walked over with an umbrella and saw the busy scene in the store. Afraid of having to wait in line, she quickly went over to order.
"We don't have braised chicken with chestnuts today," Song Man told the guests.
Upon hearing this, Teacher Wang looked pale. The braised chicken with chestnuts that she had eaten that day was absolutely delicious, and she still craves it now.
The chestnuts inside are golden and plump, sweet and soft, with a sweet flavor that slowly unfolds in your mouth. The chicken is firm and tender, soaked in the broth, leaving a lingering aftertaste.
I came to this restaurant specifically to eat braised chicken with chestnuts, but they didn't have it today.
Teacher Wang sighed inwardly. Since they were here, they should at least eat something.
Teacher Wang had visited the store several times, and Song Man remembered her.
"Today we have stir-fried eggs with chives, stir-fried cucumber with ham, stir-fried pork, and stir-fried Chinese cabbage."
Many customers love the freshly stir-fried home-style dishes.
Teacher Wang thought for a moment, then said, "I'll have scrambled eggs with chives."
"Okay, just a moment."
"Boss, one order of scrambled eggs with chives."
Stir-fry the chopped chives in oil, add a little water, add the chopped red bell pepper, then pour in the beaten eggs. Stir-fry quickly before the eggs are set, and finally add a small spoonful of salt and light soy sauce to taste before serving.
Tang Yiyi served it on a white porcelain plate and took it out.
"Teacher Wang, your stir-fried eggs with chives are ready."
"Thanks."
The dish featured golden egg pieces mixed with crisp, green chives, sprinkled with red chili pepper pieces, and served over a clear, rich broth. It looked quite appealing, with its perfect color, aroma, and flavor.
I picked up a piece of stir-fried eggs with chives and put it in my mouth.
Teacher Wang chewed it, it smelled delicious.
This simple stir-fried chives and eggs can be so delicious!
The chives were crisp and tender, the eggs were fresh and tender, and they had a hint of sweetness. Teacher Wang ate with great relish and instantly fell in love with this stir-fried chives and eggs.
She originally thought that stir-fried eggs with chives would be bland, but this stir-fried eggs with chives had a refreshing aroma, and the eggs were very tender and soft. The combination was so fragrant that she never got tired of eating it.
Teacher Wang couldn't stop eating, one bite after another.
Before she knew it, she had eaten more than half of it. Teacher Wang: "..."
Oh dear, how did she eat so much!
The restaurant's portions were very generous, significantly larger than most other places. Even after finishing more than half a bowl of rice and dishes, Teacher Wang still wanted more, even though she was already quite full.
[Teacher Wang, could you please get me a rice bowl from a small restaurant and bring it back?]
A message popped up on her phone. Teacher Wang glanced at it and saw it was from Teacher Chu.
The teachers generally assumed that the "small restaurant" referred to was Tang's Restaurant near the school gate.
[OK. ]
Teacher Wang wiped her mouth clean, got up and went to the front desk, "I'll take out a small order of stir-fried pork, you can add some spice."
Teacher Chu seems to really like stir-fried pork.
She packed one up to take back to Teacher Chu.
Soon, Tang Yiyi finished cooking the stir-fried pork, packed it up, and included a serving of chili sauce.
"Teacher Wang, here's your stir-fried pork."
Teacher Wang accepted it, saying, "Thank you, Sister Xiaoyu."
Welcome back again.
Being able to eat at a small restaurant every day is truly satisfying.
"Mmm," Teacher Wang nodded, and left satisfied.
Even though it's already autumn, it's still incredibly hot and humid these past few days.
Teacher Chu was grading homework, and the more she graded, the angrier she got. How could anyone have written such homework?
apple is written as apqle...
Especially now that my stomach is empty, I feel even hungrier.
Just then, someone said, "Teacher Chu, here's some stir-fried pork that I packed for you."
Teacher Wang's voice rang out in the office. She walked over, and many teachers in the office looked at her.
"Thank you, Teacher Wang!" Teacher Chu stood up excitedly, as if she had seen a savior.
My neck snapped; I must have been sitting for too long, looking down to grade papers.
"Teacher Wang, what did you eat for lunch today?" Teacher Chu asked as she lifted the lid.
"Hmm, stir-fried eggs with chives," Teacher Wang still craves it now.
"Wow, that sounds good, it should taste delicious."
After saying that, Teacher Chu took out disposable chopsticks.
"Hey, why is there a chili pepper in the bag?"
Teacher Wang looked over and realized it was true. "It must have been a gift from the restaurant owner."
"You're too kind!" Teacher Chu has already decided that next time she orders takeout from the restaurant, she will give it a five-star review. The taste and packaging are both top-notch.
The lunchbox contained a mix of lean and fatty pork belly, glistening with an enticing sheen. It was also filled with plenty of green and red chilies, some with visible seeds, along with black fermented black beans and garlic sprouts. It looked delicious.
As a fragrant aroma wafted over, Teacher Wang took a deep breath. "It smells so good!"
It awakened her appetite, and her stomach was immediately stimulated.
Stir-fried pork smells so good, and it looks so appetizing.
Regardless of what the other teachers thought, Teacher Chu started eating. The slices of meat were coated in a thick sauce, and they were very fragrant when chewed. You could feel the tenderness of the meat. The chili peppers were not just spicy, but also very fragrant.
Teacher Wang from next door smelled the fragrance.
She was a little hungry, even though she was already full.
"How's the stir-fried pork? Teacher Chu," a teacher asked.
Teacher Chu nodded vigorously, "Delicious~"
The next second, I took a big bite. This fermented black bean sauce is pretty good too. It's crispy, salty, and savory, with a rich soy sauce flavor.
"Teacher Wang, would you like to try some?" She hadn't forgotten that Teacher Wang had brought it back for her.
"How could I? Is this alright?"
"Here," Teacher Chu said, picking up a piece of stir-fried pork with her chopsticks and sharing it with Teacher Wang.
The stir-fried pork was delicious, especially the spicy and fragrant chili peppers. Teacher Wang chewed and said, "Delicious, thank you, Teacher Chu."
Teacher Chu buried himself in his food, which made the other teachers very envious.
The meal was plentiful, but Teacher Chu, who doesn't have a big appetite, was already full after eating more than half of it.
It would be a waste to just throw away the lunchbox; I'll save it for dinner.
In the afternoon, several more teachers joined Tang Yiyi.
After she accepted the request, everyone started asking her to order lunch for tomorrow.
That evening, Teacher Chu sent me a voice message that was a few dozen seconds long.
Tang Yiyi had heard that the stir-fried pork at noon was so delicious that she asked her to order it for noon tomorrow, and even asked if they would have it tomorrow.
"Yes, Teacher Chu."
"Great, I can eat stir-fried pork again!" Teacher Chu was very happy. She had been longing for the stir-fried pork at noon, and sometimes she would even think about it while working.
The next day, Tang Yiyi opened her eyes at five o'clock sharp, pressed the alarm clock, got up and drew back the light-colored curtains.
The soft morning light shines in, the sky is high and the clouds are light; it's another beautiful day.
After organizing today's food orders, Tang Yiyi ate breakfast and then rode her bicycle to take Xiaoyu to school.
We have nearly a hundred orders today, so we need to prepare the ingredients in advance.
Xiaoyu waved goodbye to her and walked towards the school.
Before anyone knew it, Xiaoyu had grown taller and his energy had improved a lot.
Tang Yiyi withdrew her gaze and headed to the vegetable market.
She visited several broccoli stalls before finally finding fresh broccoli at one of them, and also bought some yams there.
As the vendor weighed the yams on the electronic scale, he asked, "Are you the owner of that restaurant?"
Tang Yiyi glanced at the other person, didn't recognize them, and simply nodded.
"My child attends Xingguang Elementary School and has bought tea eggs from your restaurant before. He loves tea eggs and says they taste better than any fried chicken or chicken leg."
"Oh, I see," Tang Yiyi smiled and said, "Next time you bring your child to the store, I'll treat you to tea eggs."
"No need, you're too kind," the stall owner waved his hand dismissively.
Tang Yiyi went to the pork stall again. To pick out fresh pork belly, one needs a keen eye.
"Boss, I want this piece of pork and..." Tang Yiyi pointed and said.
Next, I went to buy chicken drumsticks. Cola chicken drumsticks require drumsticks because they are easy to debone and have firm, succulent meat.
Finally, I returned home laden with groceries. Today I spent over four hundred yuan just on ingredients, and I feel like my bicycle basket is almost overflowing.
As I approached the restaurant, I caught a glimpse of He An at the entrance, just as he parked his bicycle.
He An stepped forward and said, "Boss, I'm here to get the ingredients."
Tang Yiyi, carrying a bag of vegetables, took out her keys from her bag. "Why are you so enthusiastic today?"
“Because…” He An scratched his head, his smile simple and honest, “I want to eat tea eggs.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Yiyi smiled.
