Chapter 99 Fish Porridge
What would he be doing in Hong Kong City now at the age of 33?
Since God has given her another chance to meet Lu Jinkun, Wen Sining doesn't want to give up this time.
She wanted to meet Lu Jinkun and clear up the misunderstanding.
Thinking of this, Wen Sining seemed to have found motivation and direction again.
She stood up and continued to ask in each store.
But she underestimated the Hong Kong city in the 1980s. Although there was gold everywhere, there were also many people picking up gold.
Too many refugees sneak into the port city to make a living, and there are very few jobs.
No one wanted Wen Sining. On the one hand, there was a real shortage of work positions. On the other hand, Wen Sining was too young and most stores were unwilling to hire young girls.
He is not strong enough and cannot do many jobs. Hiring him is just a nuisance.
Wen Sining felt frustrated for the first time. She couldn't even find a job in Hong Kong in the 1980s.
Sitting back in the corner of the street, looking at the endless stream of people on the street, she was confused and at a loss, like a homeless stray dog.
Just when she was feeling lost, a quarrel was heard in Guangji Tea Restaurant.
"Your fish porridge is so fishy, how can we eat it? Give us our money back! We won't eat at your restaurant anymore!"
"If you don't want to eat, just leave. There's no way I can refund you. There's no reason to refund for something you've already eaten!"
"You damn bitch, do you know who my boss is? If you don't return my money, I'll kill you!"
The quarrel was mixed with the sounds of chairs being thrown and tables being smashed. Wen Sining walked to the door of the store and saw several men surrounding the old lady.
They lifted up their arms, revealing the hideous tattoos on their arms, and it was obvious that they were gangsters.
The old lady was obviously scared too, and she took several steps back in fear.
Seeing this, the men became even more aggressive. "Are you scared now? Return your money double and we'll let you go. Otherwise, we'll smash your store!"
The old lady was a little dissatisfied when she heard this. She had just opened her shop and this was the first time she encountered such a thing? Instead of making money, she was losing money. How could she run a business like this?
Wen Sining saw the old lady's unconvinced attitude, as if she was about to fight with them in the next second.
Wen Sining knew that her chance had come.
"Wait a moment!"
Several men looked behind them with different expressions.
Wen Sining was wearing a light pink tank top with a light blue striped shirt, high-waisted wide-leg jeans, and a black baseball cap. She attracted a lot of attention as soon as she came in.
Several men were stunned and even thought that it was a female star or Miss Hong Kong who came to visit.
"Miss, are you here for some refreshments? The food made by this damned bitch is inedible. Would you mind my taking you to some real refreshments?"
Wen Si Ning smiled and said, "Brothers, I usually make these things, and my mother just helps me. So, I'll make you another bowl of fish porridge, just as a treat for you brothers, how about that?"
"So she is your mother."
The men looked at each other. Of course they accepted the offer of food made by a beautiful woman for them for free.
"Okay, okay, you go do it, we'll wait."
Wen Sining turned around with a smile, and she took the old lady's arm and went into the kitchen.
The old lady was confused by her actions, "Little girl, what nonsense did you just say? Who is your mother?"
Wen Si Ning glanced at the commotion outside and lowered her voice to say, "Auntie, you've seen that those men outside are difficult to deal with. If you don't satisfy them today, you can forget about doing business."
"Maybe they'll even destroy the store."
When the old lady heard this, she felt that what Wen Sining said made sense, but her fish porridge had always tasted like this. How could she improve it?
In her eyes, these men were deliberately looking for trouble.
"You just told them that you would redo it for them. You said it yourself. Let me see what you can come up with."
Wen Sining might not be very good at anything else, but when it comes to cooking, she was very well trained.
She winked at the old lady and said, "Auntie, how about I make a deal with you?"
"What deal?"
"If I help you send them away, you'll let me stay and work in the store."
"Don't be so confident. What will you do if you fail to send them away?" The old lady didn't believe Wen Sining at all.
"Then I'll go with them." Wen Sining said bluntly, "I'll lead them away so that they don't affect your business."
As soon as Wen Sining said this, the old lady was speechless.
She was willing to bet on herself, so what else could she say?
"Okay, you do it." The old lady said, taking a step back to let Wen Sining play freely.
Wen Sining added salt and cornstarch to the already cut fish fillets, and then added oil.
Seeing her adding oil, the old lady couldn't stand it anymore and quickly lectured her: "How can you put oil in fish fillets? The porridge cooked this way is too greasy, no one likes it!"
Wen Sining explained without even looking up, "Add a little more oil to the fish fillets so that they are tender, smooth and fragrant."
Then, Wen Sining added the chopped ginger and stirred it evenly to marinate.
The white porridge was ready. Wen Sining boiled the porridge, added a little salt, and then added shredded ginger.
After stirring evenly, turn the heat to the highest setting and watch the porridge oil about to overflow.
The old lady stamped her feet anxiously, "Oh my, the porridge is about to overflow. Do you know how to cook?"
Wen Sining was not in a hurry. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she poured oil into the porridge, then added the marinated fish fillets and stirred quickly for three minutes.
Finally add green vegetables, chopped green onions and pepper powder, stir it and the raw fish fillet porridge is ready.
Wen Sining picked up the whole casserole and walked out.
The delicious aroma of fish porridge filled the entire kitchen, and even the aunt was overwhelmed by the smell.
It wasn't until Wen Si Ning brought out the fish porridge that she came back to her senses.
This, this porridge is even more delicious than the one she made!
Before the old lady even stepped out of the kitchen, she heard a man's exclamation outside.
"This fish porridge is so fragrant, smooth and tender. The taste is completely different from the one just now!"
"It's delicious! It's even better than the porridge at the place next door!"
Wen Sining smiled and said, "As long as you are satisfied, enjoy yourselves."
They all devoured the food, and in a few minutes, the casserole was empty.
Maybe it was because the porridge was so delicious, or maybe it was because it was the first time I saw a girl as beautiful as Wen Si Ning.
The leading man took out money from his trouser pocket and gave it to Wen Sining.
"Although your mother's attitude was bad just now, you are quite sensible. We are not unreasonable people. This porridge is indeed very good. You should pay for it. You don't have to return the money for the bowl of porridge just now."
Wen Sining didn't refuse. She reached out and took the money. "Wait a moment."
As she spoke, Wen Sining ran into the kitchen again. While the old lady was still confused, she neatly packed a few curry fish balls and left the kitchen.
"Please try some fish balls. They're delicious. Come back next time!" Wen Sining smiled and handed the fish balls in her hand to the leading man.
The man raised his eyes, looked at Wen Sining deeply, and a smile of interest appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Okay, we'll definitely come again."
The man took the fish balls and left with his brothers.
