Chapter 60 Delicious Food
Chen Wenjiu came to the restaurant and saw He Zui busy in the kitchen, and his heart suddenly felt at ease.
"Are you back? How is it? Are you having difficulty with the mission?" He Zui smiled naturally when he saw her, and showed concern for her situation affectionately.
"It's okay. The mission isn't too difficult." Chen Wenjiu said, "Have you made the three new delicacies I drew?"
"Here, I've prepared it for you." He Zui smiled as he prepared the three kinds of food she had drawn earlier, then placed them in front of her. "Want to try it?"
Chen Wenjiu looked at the chicken wing bento and fried pork cutlet bento in front of him, as well as a small plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and a small bowl of white rice, which exuded an enticing aroma.
"It smells so good." Chen Wenjiu sniffed.
She couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks to taste it. She first picked up a piece of egg from the scrambled eggs with tomatoes. The tender egg was very smooth and delicious. After being soaked in tomato juice, it was sour and sweet and very appetizing.
The tomatoes were a little soft, but that was just the texture that Chen Wenjiu really liked, and it was absolutely delicious when mixed with rice.
So Chen Wenjiu picked up the scrambled eggs with tomatoes and poured them on the rice. After half of the eggs covered the rice, she picked up the rice and started eating.
The way she ate the tomato and egg rice was really tempting, and many customers became greedy after seeing this scene.
"Wow, the manager looks like he's enjoying his meal. This scrambled egg with tomatoes goes really well with rice. Yuan Yuan, I want a serving of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and rice too."
"I want one too, I want one too. Round it up, and I get scrambled eggs with tomato and rice +1!"
“Tomato scrambled eggs with rice +2”
The guests in the restaurant were all greedy when they saw how deliciously Chen Wenjiu was eating. They couldn't help but order the same food as Yuan Yiyuan, and then couldn't wait to imitate her and put scrambled eggs with tomatoes on the rice.
The broth from the scrambled eggs and tomatoes soaked the entire rice, giving it a sweet and sour taste that made it even more delicious. Chen Wenjiu finished her small bowl of rice and still felt unsatisfied.
"Would you like another bowl of rice?" He Zui sat in front of her, propped up his chin and looked at her with a smile. After seeing her finish her meal, he asked this question.
"No, I'll try something else." Chen Wenjiu shook her head. She still had two lunch boxes left to eat. If she added another bowl of rice, would she still have room for anything else?
Although her appetite was indeed a bit large now, she had no intention of overeating herself.
He Zui looked at her with a smile, "Then try these two."
The chicken wing bento is made with pan-fried chicken wings. Originally, He Zui wanted to make honey chicken wings or cola chicken wings, but the ingredients and seasonings were not suitable, so he used pan-fried chicken wings to make the bento.
The pan-fried chicken wings are also very tender. Chen Wenjiu picked up a piece of chicken wing and tasted it. The outside was fried a little crispy, but the meat inside was tender and would not get stuck in your teeth.
Chen Wenjiu originally liked eating chicken wings, such as honey chicken wings, braised chicken wings, fried chicken wings, etc. As long as it was chicken wings, no matter the tip, middle or root of the wing, she liked them all.
The chicken wings used in this chicken wing bento are from the middle part of the chicken. The fried chicken wings made by He Zui do not have the kind of blood that cannot be removed. They are not the kind that are cooked on the outside but still a little red on the inside.
Chen Wenjiu was very satisfied with the food and said to He Zui, "Your cooking skills are really good. I never get tired of eating it."
He Zui's eyes were filled with laughter as he said, "Never get tired of eating this? Are you serious?"
"Yes." Chen Wenjiu nodded.
"Has anyone forgotten who said that eating sandwiches or curry rice every day would make you tired of it?" He Zui looked at her and said with a smile.
Chen Wenjiu: “…”
"You..." He Zui pinched her face and said, "I will make whatever you like to eat."
Chen Wenjiu covered his face and said, "It's still restricted. I want to eat Dongpo pork elbow and Dezhou braised chicken..."
He Zui: “…I can’t do it now.”
It’s not that his cooking skills are not good enough and he can’t make these delicacies; it’s because he doesn’t have the ingredients. He finally understands the difficulty of a good cook being unable to cook without rice.
He Zui really never thought that one day he would be subject to such great restrictions when cooking. He could only use the ingredients prepared by the hotel restaurant kitchen to make the food on the food card he had drawn, and could not make other foods that were not drawn.
For example, now his partner wants to eat Dongpo pork elbow and Dezhou braised chicken, but he just can't make them.
"Be patient. If you win these two dishes sooner, you can enjoy them." He Zui touched her head and said.
"Have you washed your hands before you touch my head?" Chen Wenjiu slapped his hand that was messing around on his head and stared at him warily.
He Zui: "...My hands are clean, there is no oil stain or other dirt."
Chen Wenjiu stared at his hands and found that they were indeed clean and without any oil, so he felt relieved.
"Do you want to go out with me on the next mission?" Chen Wenjiu asked.
He Zui: "...The restaurant depends on me now. What will happen to the restaurant if I go out with you?"
"It turns out that we still need a few more chefs." Chen Wenjiu said.
When the previous hotel first opened, He Zui was the only one there, but he wasn't very busy at that time.
Later, the hotel hired two helpers, and he became even less busy.
Moreover, the hotels in the past were opened in peacetime, and people did not have much space to store a lot of food. Hotels did not open express delivery stations so quickly, so the restaurants consumed relatively little food every day.
It’s not like now, people in the apocalypse like to hoard all kinds of food. Not only do they fill their own spaces with food from restaurants, they also buy large amounts of food and hand it over to express stations to send out to others.
Therefore, chef He Zui is under a lot of pressure.
"You can make more and store them in advance. Then, even if you are not in the restaurant, you can sell them for yuan each." Chen Wenjiu thought for a while and said.
"That's fine." He Zui nodded.
As a chef with advanced skills, he can cook a lot of food at once as long as he lets go, and the speed will be very fast.
So if he wants to accompany his lover next time she goes out, he must prepare a lot of food and store it so that the restaurant can still provide food to the guests while he is away.
Of course, He Zui didn't go to prepare food right away, but sat opposite Chen Wenjiu and chatted with him.
Ever since Chen Wenjiu came to the apocalypse to open a shop, the two of them have been busy with their own things and only have a little time to spend together after closing the shop at night.
Although they have been dating for several years, Chen Wenjiu still feels that she is still in love. How can she not communicate with her boyfriend often?
"Your cultivation has improved so quickly. Have you consolidated it well?" He Zui asked her with concern.
Chen Wenjiu's cultivation level at the Spiritual Transformation stage was suddenly boosted by the hotel system; her foundation wasn't actually that solid. He Zui was worried that if her cultivation level suddenly skyrocketed, she wouldn't be able to control it and something might go wrong.
"Don't worry, I spend time consolidating my cultivation every day." Chen Wenjiu assured.
"That's good, but you can't take it lightly, okay?" He Zui said.
"Yeah." Chen Wenjiu promised that he would consolidate his cultivation and would not let He Zui worry.
