Although they have not tasted the fried chicken made by Gao Mingcheng, just by smelling it, Gao Yue and his friends feel that the fried chicken made by Gao Mingcheng must not be too bad.
The key to whether food is delicious lies in whether it has good color, aroma and taste. If the food has a unique and attractive aroma, the taste will definitely not be bad.
Gao Yue saw a large bowl of fried chicken and said, "It's ready? Then we have to try it!"
Gao Yue reached out to grab a fried chicken leg to eat, but was stopped by Gao Mingcheng.
Gao Mingcheng smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? We need to fry it again to make it crispy and delicious! Gao Yue, ask your friend to sit down and have a rest. I'll be done soon."
Gao Mingcheng asked everyone to sit down in the backyard. The shop in front was selling clothes, and in the backyard, stools for entertaining guests had already been set up.
"Shufang, get ready to make hamburgers!" Gao Mingcheng shouted, and Gao Shufang immediately said "ah" and then got ready to make hamburgers.
She first cut the bread in half, then cut the cucumbers and tomatoes into slices, but the most important thing was the salad dressing.
Although this thing has ready-made sauce for sale, the price is a bit expensive.
This time, Gao Mingcheng did not make chicken fillets. Instead, he marinated and fried the chicken breast and then put it in the burger.
He put the slightly cooled oil pan back on the stove, and when the oil was hot, he re-fried the chicken breast. When re-fried, the batter covering the chicken breast immediately turned golden and crispy, and the aroma filled the yard.
"What a nice smell!" Gao Yue's friends were originally sitting on the stools politely, but when Gao Mingcheng started to fry the meat again, they all came over curiously. Smelling the overbearing meaty aroma, Lin Ye could not help but exclaim in admiration.
"It smells so good!" Zhao Jinghe took a deep breath, as if trying to absorb all the fragrance into his stomach.
The marinated chicken is already cooked during the initial frying, so the re-frying speed is very fast and several pieces can be fried in one pot at the same time.
A few minutes later, Gao Mingcheng put the drained chicken breast into a clean plate and handed it to Gao Shufang to start making hamburgers.
So everyone's attention shifted to Gao Shufang.
Gao Shufang first put a few slices of cucumber on a piece of bread, then squeezed salad dressing on it, then put a piece of hot fried chicken just out of the pan, put a few slices of tomato on the fried chicken, and finally squeezed salad dressing on it.
This foreign fast food relies entirely on various sauces for seasoning.
After arranging them layer by layer, put a piece of bread on the top. In this way, a simple version of the hamburger is ready.
"The hamburgers are ready, come and try them!" Gao Shufang said to Gao Yue and the others with a smile, warmly inviting them to eat hamburgers.
While they were eating their burgers, Gao Mingcheng continued to fry the chicken legs and wings. After all of them were fried, he fry the chicken racks.
These fried foods are divided into two flavors when they are marinated, one is spicy and the other is not spicy.
If the fried chicken is not spicy enough, you can sprinkle some chili powder on it.
Gao Mingcheng mixes the chili powder himself according to Yunnan's dipping sauce recipe and sprinkles it on the fried chicken to add flavor.
This time, Gao Yue called seven or eight friends over. Although everyone had a good appetite, Gao Mingcheng prepared ten white-feathered chickens, which were enough for everyone to eat.
"How is it? The fast food I make tastes no worse than KFC!" Gao Mingcheng said proudly while gnawing on a chicken wing.
"I can also make mashed potatoes, French fries, and cabbage salad, but I don't have the ingredients right now, so I'm not making them. Now, add some iced cola and it's complete!"
Gao Mingcheng opened the refrigerator, took out a few bottles of Coke, and invited everyone to drink.
Gao Yue and his friends were so satisfied with the meal that they didn't even have time to talk. However, they were indeed a little thirsty, so when Gao Mingcheng took out the Coke, they all started drinking it.
Gurgle, gurgle, the cold cola goes into your mouth, and soon, bubbles rise from the stomach, making you burp uncontrollably.
"No, I can't eat anymore. If I had known it was so delicious, I shouldn't have eaten lunch!" Zhao Jinghe stared at the fried chicken leg in his hand that he had just taken a bite of, his face full of confusion.
She was reluctant to put it down and felt like continuing to eat, but her stomach was indeed full again.
When they were in Shanghai, they sat in a KFC for more than half an hour and spent more than a hundred yuan, but still felt hungry.
But why am I full now?
Zhao Jinghe lowered his head and thought about it. He didn’t eat much. He just ate a hamburger, a chicken wing, a chicken rack and a chicken leg!
Not to mention Zhao Jing and a girl, even Gao Yue, Lin Ye, Wang Zhiyuan and other boys felt very full at this time.
Compared to the fried chicken portions in KFC, the fried chicken portions here at Gao Mingcheng are obviously much larger!
Besides, it was not lunch time at this time, and they had just had lunch not long ago, so their fighting power was weakened by at least half!
"It's so delicious, Brother Mingcheng, you are such a genius!" Gao Yue tried hard to finish the chicken wings in his hand and burped with satisfaction.
Gao Mingcheng looked at him sideways. Gao Yue was a few months younger than Gao Mingcheng, but because Gao Mingcheng had a better relationship with Gao Hong when they were young, the two of them often played together outside.
When Gao Yue was a child, he sometimes couldn't keep up with them and could only cry behind them. Maybe because of jealousy or unwillingness, Gao Yue basically never called Gao Mingcheng "brother" and always called him by his name.
When he was a child, Gao Mingcheng teased him by calling him brother, but Gao Yue would have a stern face and look unwilling, and sometimes they would even fight.
"Tsk tsk, it's so rare to hear you call me brother!" Gao Mingcheng was proud and thought that if he had any special effects, it would definitely be a colorful light that could blind Gao Yue's eyes!
Gao Yue rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "I call you brother because I admire you! You said you have this ability, why didn't I know it before?"
Gao Mingcheng smiled and said, "My abilities are only known to my wife. How can I let you know everything?"
"Haha!" Zhao Jinghe couldn't help but burst into laughter. Although she was a girl, she was very outgoing. From the fact that she dressed like a lively young girl, you could tell that she was not the traditional kind of girl.
Lin Ye and others also praised Gao Mingcheng's cooking skills, and lamented that they had all eaten KFC, but Gao Mingcheng was able to replicate it one-to-one. When they talked about it with their relatives and friends, they only knew to talk about how big and beautiful the store was, how many people were queuing, and how much each food cost.
I can’t say more than that.
At most, he would say which food he thinks is delicious and which food is not delicious.
When Gao Mingcheng was researching the recipe, Gao Shufang and others ate the fried chicken and praised him for its deliciousness, but Gao Mingcheng was not proud, because how can fried food not be delicious!
But now, Gao Yue and his friends said that the food they cooked was delicious, and Gao Mingcheng felt a little proud.
These young people have eaten authentic KFC in Shanghai. After coming back, they can still say that the food they cooked is delicious. That means it is really delicious!
Gao Mingcheng said: "I will open a store in the county in the second half of the year. When you have your winter vacation, remember to come to the store to take care of the business!"
"Okay!" Gao Yue was the first to speak.
The rest of the people also expressed their opinions, saying that they would definitely take care of Gao Mingcheng's business.
Not to mention, after eating Gao Mingcheng’s fried chicken, they no longer miss KFC so much!
It seems that the filter I had for KFC was somewhat shattered.
After everyone chatted and laughed for a while, Gao Mingcheng took the initiative to talk about going to Xiaofushan to pick fruit.
During the Chinese New Year last year, everyone got together to play billiards, and Gao Mingcheng promised to take them to pick fruit.
He is a man of his words and never plays tricks.
Gao Mingcheng said: "Now the peaches, pears, and bayberries in the mountains are ripening one after another. I have picked two batches! Some watermelons and cantaloupes in the fields are also ripe. If you want to pick fruits, then arrange a time and I will take you there!"
"Oh, by the way, you said before that you wanted to go camping in the orchard? If you really want to camp, you should prepare your own tent."
Lin Ye smiled and said deliberately: "I remember you said at the beginning that we would use the sky as a blanket and the ground as a bed, with the bright moon shining on us and the chirping of insects and roaring of beasts as our companions. Why do we need to prepare a tent now?"
Lin Ye is a top student with a good memory. Although several months have passed, when this topic is brought up, Lin Ye remembers what Gao Mingcheng said.
The others also remembered it, so they all looked at Gao Mingcheng with a smile.
Gao Mingcheng could be teased by them? Of course not.
Gao Mingcheng said calmly: "You don't have to bring a tent. If you sleep in the mountains for a night, you will get mosquito bites all over your body at best, or be bitten by snakes at worst!"
In his previous life, after Gao Mingcheng became rich, he never followed the trend and went camping everywhere, because he lacked a romantic spirit for this kind of thing!
Why don't you live in a small tent instead of a nice house? You will face various risks. What's the point?
After hearing what he said, several college students instantly lost interest in camping.
The word "camping" is a foreign word. These college students have been exposed to a wide range of things and have learned some Western practices.
Gao Yue glanced at Lin Ye and the others, and saw that they had backed out, so he said, "There's really nothing good to camp in the village! I still remember when I was a kid, my dad was in charge of guarding the threshing ground. At night, my parents were there, so my brother and I had to go with them. We slept in the haystacks, which were prickly and bitten by mosquitoes!"
Thinking of the past, Gao Yue suddenly felt an itchy skin sensation, as if he had been bitten by a mosquito.
Lin Ye and the others said hurriedly: "Camping is a joke, we don't want to camp! I am free every day, what about you? If you are all free tomorrow, why don't we go pick fruit tomorrow!"
Zhao Jinghe was the first to agree, echoing, "Okay."
Wang Zhiyuan, Song Xiaoxiao and others also had no problem with it, so they quickly decided to go to Xiaofushan to pick fruit tomorrow.
Gao Mingcheng nodded, and he had more free time and could accompany her at any time.
After thinking for a moment, he said to Gao Yue and the others, "We will go there tomorrow morning, have lunch in the village at noon, and then return to the county town after lunch. What do you think?"
Gao Yue nodded, thinking it was okay, and the others also nodded.
Gao Mingcheng added: "How about this, tomorrow each of you will bring a dish, and then we will cook together! Oh, no need to bring eggs, I have chicken eggs, duck eggs, vegetables and so on!"
It’s not that Gao Mingcheng is stingy. He can buy all the dishes by himself. To him, this amount of money is nothing.
But getting everyone to shop for groceries and cook together feels like a team-building outing.
Only by getting everyone involved can we better build closer relationships.
Those who can play with Gao Yue are naturally from wealthy families. Gao Mingcheng asked each of them to prepare a dish. Instead of being disgusted, they became even happier and began to discuss enthusiastically what each of them should bring.
Because there are so many people, we have to discuss it in advance, otherwise we will have to bring duplicate dishes.
I didn't need to bring eggs, duck eggs, or seasonal vegetables, so there weren't many vegetables I could bring. All I could bring was some meat.
Lin Ye was the most cunning, and was the first to say that he wanted to bring pork!
Since he got there first, the others could only stare at him helplessly.
"I'll bring a fish!"
"I'll bring braised dishes!"
“I’ll bring fried peanuts!”
“…”
Everyone contributed their ideas and soon the process was concluded.
Gao Mingcheng said, "Okay, let's meet here at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, and I'll drive you there in my car."
Gao Yue already knew that Gao Mingcheng had bought a car, so he smiled and joked a few times, then said that there were too many of them and they might not have enough seats.
Gao Mingcheng said: "Ladies will be given priority in the seats, and men who can't sit will sit in the back of the truck. If you are afraid of the sun, remember to wear a hat!"
"That's fine." The young men born in the 1990s were not pretentious. They thought it was good enough to have a car to ride in, and they would not say a word even if they were asked to ride a bicycle.
After this matter was settled, no one stayed here to disturb them any longer and said goodbye to Gao Mingcheng and the others and left.
The next morning, they arrived as promised. Gao Yue brought a pound of dried cuttlefish and a bottle of Site wine.
The young man who talked about hairtail brought a three-jin grass carp, which is suitable for braising.
When everyone arrived, they put the food in the truck bed and then started getting on the truck.
Gao Mingcheng was the driver, so he naturally sat in the driver's seat, while Gao Yue occupied the co-pilot seat.
Among their group, there were two girls, Song Xiaoxiao and Zhao Jinghe, who sat in the back row, and then two boys squeezed in.
Four people sitting in a row didn't feel too crowded because they were all slim and they still had another ten years before they became fat!
The boys who didn’t have seats could only climb into the back of the truck and sit on the small benches prepared in advance.
They were indeed prepared, but instead of wearing hats, they wore a thin long-sleeved shirt. Now they covered their heads with the thin long-sleeved shirt, so they were not so afraid of the sun.
It’s a hot day, so the reason why you need to wear thin long sleeves is because our elders have reminded us to do so!
The elders had experience doing farm work and knew what they would encounter when going into the mountains, so they advised them not to be afraid of the heat and to wear long sleeves and long pants, which could avoid a lot of injuries.
In the mountains, mosquito bites and grass cuts are unavoidable. (End of this chapter)
