Cao Yingwu planned to hurry on his way before it got dark.
Even if you can't buy braised food on the same day, you can walk less and save energy tomorrow.
The sun sets in the west.
Dusk enveloped the earth.
The setting sun cast a long, slender shadow of Cao Yingwu as he walked up the steps, one hand on the railing.
One step, two steps, slow but determined.
To save the 80 yuan bus fare or the 120 yuan cable car fare, he walked the entire way.
Time passed little by little.
It took Cao Yingwu about four or five hours to reach the halfway point of the mountain.
He bought a bottle of mineral water at the convenience store and found a cheap hotel to rest.
Early the next morning.
After finishing his breakfast, he continued on his journey.
......
It's currently around 2 or 3 PM.
Cao Yingwu hadn't had lunch yet, and his stomach was already growling with hunger.
He felt the food at the scenic spot was expensive, so he planned to eat some of the dry food his wife Zhang Li had prepared and didn't intend to buy lunch there.
But the aroma of Yu Hui's cooking was so enticing that Cao Yingwu couldn't resist.
"You're going to cook again?" Yu Hui asked, puzzled. He didn't know that Cao Yingwu's order was actually for someone else.
Upon hearing this, Cao Yingwu realized that Yu Hui had misunderstood.
So I told him the whole story.
Upon hearing this, Yu Hui suddenly realized what was going on.
He joked with a smile:
"Got it, got it, bro, you're really going all out! You actually came all the way from the city."
Cao Yingwu touched his head.
"There's no other way. I have elderly parents to support and young children to raise, plus a mortgage to pay. I have to work hard!"
After a few casual words, Yu Hui got back to the main topic.
"Brother, what do you want to eat? Hurry up, there will be more customers later, and I won't have time to cook."
"Okay!" Cao Yingwu nodded, glanced at the menu, hesitated for a moment, and then pointed. "Then I'll take this one, twice-cooked pork, it'll go well with rice!"
After paying, he sat down at Yu Hui's stall, at a shared dining table.
At this moment, housewife Zhang Li sent him several messages.
Have you had lunch?
"When are you coming back? Qiaoqiao and I miss you."
"......"
Upon seeing this message, Cao Yingwu narrowed his eyes, feeling a warm glow in his heart.
He swiped his finger across the screen, slowly writing six words: "Eating, will be back later."
After replying to the message, he opened the payment page.
Looking at the two most recent payment records, one for 97 yuan and the other for 35 yuan, the total is 135 yuan.
Seeing the amount of money, Cao Yingwu felt heartbroken!
That's enough for him to complete more than twenty orders.
All he hopes for now is that Yu Hui's cooking is delicious and worth the price.
......
A shift in perspective.
The pork belly with alternating layers of fat and lean meat, along with scallions, ginger, Sichuan peppercorns, and cooking wine, was simmering in a pot. Yu Hui held the knife handle and used the side of the knife to pound the garlic sprouts before slicing them diagonally into long sections.
The same applies to garlic sprout leaves; cut them into long sections as well.
......
Before long, Yu Hui had prepared all the side dishes.
Ten minutes later.
Lifting the lid of the steaming iron pot, the pork belly was almost 80% cooked.
Yu Hui took a chopstick and inserted it; it could easily pierce through the two pieces of meat.
Take it out and let it cool for a while, then cut it into thin slices about the thickness of a coin.
With the pan heated and the oil cold, Yu Hui prepared to start cooking.
Twice-cooked pork is one of the top ten dishes that go well with rice and is very popular with customers.
Especially tourists from Sichuan and Chongqing.
Nine out of ten people will order twice-cooked pork.
Yu Hui was already very skilled at making this dish.
He's confident that he can cook better than most chefs, even if he cooks with his eyes closed.
In no time, a plate of twice-cooked pork with a bright red color and a fragrant aroma was ready.
Yu Hui ladled out the twice-cooked pork and served it to Cao Yingwu.
"It smells so good~~~"
Cao Yingwu looked at the still steaming twice-cooked pork and couldn't wait to eat a piece.
As soon as you bite into it, the fat bursts out with a "sizzle," while the lean meat is very tender and has a hint of fermented bean paste flavor.
The garlic sprouts were also very flavorful and fragrant.
"My God, this is so delicious!" Cao Yingwu exclaimed in surprise.
As a food delivery rider, I deal with food all year round.
Before he started dating, he always ate fast food at small street-side shops, and he did this for two or three years.
Cao Yingwu has eaten at 90% of the fast food restaurants in Shaoshi, most of which are family-run businesses.
The male boss is in charge of cooking, while the female boss is in charge of cleaning the storefront and communicating with customers.
There are indeed two or three fast food restaurants that are affordable and have good taste, which Cao Yingwu frequents.
but.
The skills of those fast food restaurant chefs are far inferior to Yu Hui's.
If it weren't for this errand order, which led me to Chuanshan by chance...
He really couldn't have discovered such a treasure trove of amazing stalls!
tasty!
It's so delicious!
Cao Yingwu buried himself in hard work.
Before long, he finished the rather large bowl of twice-cooked pork.
He rubbed his slightly full stomach and let out a long burp.
This delivery job was totally worth it!
......
After Cao Yingwu bought the twice-cooked pork, no customers came.
Yu Hui decided to play games.
"Boss, I'd like to ask you something."
He was probably too engrossed in the game, and it wasn't until he heard Cao Yingwu calling out that he realized there was someone else beside him.
"What's wrong?" Yu Hui was a little confused. Usually, customers would finish their food and leave without much communication.
What's wrong with this person in front of me?
