Chapter 84 Wild rice and home cooking
"Store manager~" Betty opened the door and walked in, and then saw Chen Ze who was setting up a barbecue stall and a bucket full of barbecue skewers.
"This is?" Betty blinked, feeling like her saliva was about to drool. Every time Chen Ze cooked a new dish, Betty was the happiest.
Chen Ze looked at the restaurant door in confusion. He remembered that he had locked the restaurant just now. Why could Betty still come in?
"Betty, we're closed today. I have to go out and buy something." Chen Ze explained. In fact, he planned to set up a stall to make money. There was no other way. Guests from another world couldn't provide soft girl coins. In order to have a meal, Chen Ze
Ze can only choose to go out and make money.
"Ah? Can I play games in your room, manager?" It seemed that because Chen Ze saw through the little trick, Betty became more direct now.
The corner of Chen Ze's mouth twitched, "Do you understand?"
Betty shook her head, she must not understand.
"If you don't understand, then you can play with a hammer." Chen Ze rolled his eyes, how can he play if he can't understand?
"But it's really interesting." Betty rubbed her hands excitedly, her tail swaying behind her back.
Chen Ze sighed helplessly, what happened? A good succubus was almost turned into a otaku by him. Chen Ze felt that he had committed a heinous crime.
"Okay, if you want to play, you can go and play, but you have to clean up and help me wash my clothes." Chen Ze walked to the main door of the restaurant and looked at it. It was indeed unlocked.
This was a big mistake. If there was no lock, and guests came in later, Chen Ze didn't think Betty was capable of entertaining these guests, so Chen Ze immediately hung up a lock.
"Store manager, you are the best~" Betty pounced on Chen Ze, but Chen Ze dodged with a small movement. He didn't want to be hit in the face by the steel plate.
"Since you're here too, let's have something to eat today." Chen Ze scratched his head and looked at his phone. It was half past six. It was still early and he hadn't had dinner.
"Manager, what are you going to eat today?" Betty followed Chen Ze curiously.
"Today I'm going to eat wild rice and wild rice stir-fried meat and tomato scrambled eggs. Well... let's have some seaweed and egg drop soup." Chen Ze thought about the ingredients in the kitchen and quickly decided what he would eat today.
"Okay, store manager, then I'll go clean first." Betty rolled up her sleeves and went to clean with enthusiasm.
Chen Ze looked at the soaked wild rice. The wild rice was now much better than when he got it in the morning. Chen Ze fished out the wild rice, briefly filtered the water, and then used it to cook rice.
"It's really rice that I've never eaten before." Chen Ze scratched his head. This grain, which had been circulated in China for so long, disappeared during the Southern Song Dynasty, but now it has returned to people's dining tables.
"Shredded wild rice pork is easy to make, so let's make seaweed and egg drop soup first." Chen Ze placed a small pot on the gas stove.
Although it is seaweed and egg drop soup, the seaweed and egg drop soup made by Chen Ze is not the kind of seaweed and egg drop soup that looks like a pot full of egg drop, but actually you can't eat much.
Although Chen Ze drank this kind of egg drop soup several times a week during his college days.
After simply heating the pan, Chen Ze poured the well-stirred eggs into it, stir-fried it a few times, and after the eggs were set, he sprinkled some salt on them, took them out, and placed them in a small bowl alone.
The soup on the side was also boiling. Chen Ze added a piece of seaweed into it and poured the eggs in the small bowl into it, so that the eggs would not be boiled apart, but would float in small pieces in the seaweed soup.
"Then let's start making shredded wild rice pork and tomatoes and eggs." Chen Ze looked at the prompts that popped up from the system, and his heart did not waver. With his cooking skills, it is still easy to make these simple home-cooked dishes.
After a while, Chen Ze prepared all today's dishes and put them on the table. Then Chen Ze looked at the rice cooker. It hadn't started yet, so he probably had to wait a while.
"Wild rice... what does it taste like?" Chen Ze was a little curious and licked his lips. It is said that wild rice is more nutritious than regular white rice, but Chen Ze is not interested in how many times the nutritional value is. He just
I want to try how it tastes.
When the rice cooker finally started to work, Chen Ze looked at the time and saw that it was already seven o'clock.
"Betty, it's time to eat." Chen Ze took out two bowls and shouted while filling the rice.
"Manager, why is this rice this color?" Betty looked at the bowl in front of her in confusion. She had been working in Chen Ze's restaurant for a while, but she had never seen rice like this.
The rice Betty has seen and eaten is all white, which looks very good and tastes good, even better than the white bread she eats at home.
"This is wild rice...it's rice after all." Chen Ze gave up his plan to tell Betty about the history of China. He wanted to go out and set up a stall as soon as possible.
Almost three bites at a time, Chen Ze quickly finished his meal in a short while, then said hello to Betty and pushed his barbecue stall out.
"It tastes pretty good." Chen Ze thought to himself. The wild rice just tasted different from ordinary white rice, but it was still delicious. Chen Ze decided to buy ten kilograms more and put it on display later.
Opening the door and looking at the bustling night scene outside, Chen Ze smiled and put on his headscarf. These were just walking bills.
Betty was sitting at the dining table eating quietly. When Chen Ze was not around, Betty seemed to be a completely different person. She ate the wild rice in small bites and scooped out a spoonful of tomatoes and eggs. She liked the red and yellow ones very much.
Cuisine.
"Ah, this thing is really difficult to use." Betty frowned and looked at the two pieces of wood in her hands. She didn't understand why Chen Ze only used this thing when he was eating. It felt super difficult to use it. It didn't matter at all.
Knives and forks are convenient to use.
If Chen Ze were here, he would have discovered that Betty actually used his chopsticks. However, Chen Ze was not here, so no one else would know about this.
When Chen Ze finished selling the skewers and dragged his tired body back to the restaurant, he saw a plate of dishes he had never seen before and a glass of lemonade. Betty didn't know when she unlocked the door and went back.
Chen Ze sat down curiously and looked at the plate in front of him. There was a kind of meat on the plate, but Chen Ze was very sure that this was not an ingredient on earth because the meat was golden.
"Did Betty cook it?" Chen Ze smiled, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.
Then Chen Ze regretted it. He felt that Betty's cooking skills were similar to his own in high school, and he could use ordinary ingredients to make terrible dishes.
Chen Ze quickly spit out the meat, picked up the lemonade and took a sip.
