Chapter 410 Tao Xiurong writes a letter to her hometown, the opening of Bacui Building
Seeing what He Daqing said, Qin Huairu could only smile awkwardly.
"Dad, you are too out of touch. Maybe you are still angry with Shazhu these days. It's okay. In a few days, you will still come to the house for dinner. Shazhu and I are here. I can't let you be alone.
Get angry."
"It's okay. I'm just a cook. I like to get angry. You don't have to worry about it. I won't bother you."
"Well, let's do this for now. I'm going back. As long as we prepare the meal, you can come to my house to eat at any time. I'll treat you again in a few days when your anger subsides."
"Well, come back, come back."
He Daqing declined Qin Huairu and thought to himself.
Huh, three widows, each one has better skills than the other.
If I go to your house for a meal, my pension will be in danger.
I am not Lao Yi, nor am I a stupid son, nor can I let you cling to my grandson Fei Biao!
After Qin Huairu returned home, Shazhu curled his lips and asked: "The old man won't come? Is he still picking?"
"Sigh... He is wary of us as a couple. He doesn't want to have anything to do with us, just because he is afraid that we will touch his pension. Forget it, let's eat. After breakfast, go to work as soon as possible."
Qin Huairu said, picking up a white flour steamed bun and eating it.
Six dishes on the table.
Two pickles, pickled radish and pickled beans.
There is also stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried potatoes, stir-fried tofu, and stewed leftovers.
It’s not that the Jia family is extravagant, it’s that the population is quite large, with the oldest and youngest members totaling ten people.
But half of these dishes are brought back from restaurants.
Take Shazhu and Banggeng together.
The shop owner couldn't help it. After all, Sha Zhu's cooking was good, and the customers all came to eat because of Sha Zhu's hand.
When the dishes I cooked were brought to the table, the guests immediately threw their chopsticks after taking one bite without even settling the bill.
There is no other way, the shop owner can only hold the silly pillar during this period.
Therefore, during this period of time, the Jia family's life was quite prosperous, as they enjoyed eating out every day.
Tao Xiurong finally lived the life she had dreamed of, which was ten thousand times better than living in a mountainous area where she didn't have enough to eat.
Eat not only refined grains but also meat every day.
She thinks that the big landowners in the old society were just like this, right?
After her father-in-law, parents-in-law, husband and sister-in-law all left for work, Tao Xiurong immediately wrote a letter home.
First, she told her that she was pregnant and had successfully trapped her into a trap.
He also talked about the situation of the three children. The eldest daughter Huichun has entered the Yuhong class. She is doing well in Xinghai and Xinghe, and she likes the life here.
Finally, I talked about the life of the Jia family. Apart from the fact that the house is not as spacious as in the countryside, and it is more crowded when sleeping, the rest is a good life that I have never dreamed of.
The combined wages of my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and my husband’s sister-in-law can cover the family’s income for two years in one month.
And now my father-in-law is planning to open a restaurant and work alone to earn more.
This is a rare opportunity, so I asked my brother to come to the city to have a look.
Get to know people who are worried about choosing a man to marry, and try it first if it succeeds.
Once you get used to it, you will come here often. Even if you can't marry Xiaodang, it will be good if you can find a private job in the city and support yourself and stay there!
Tao Xiurong was very kind to his younger brother. In future terms, he was a brother-supporting devil.
Ever since she met Banggeng's sister Xiaodang, she started planning.
And when her brother really comes to the city, he will definitely be able to support her and give her confidence, but it will only be the Jia family who will suffer.
In a blink of an eye, Sunday is here.
Lin Zhen's Bacuilou opened.
In the early winter season of 1978, it could be said to be the first large restaurant in Sijiu City.
While others are still trying to open small restaurants, the opening of a large, well-decorated restaurant is undoubtedly big news in the catering industry.
And this was just what Lin Zhen asked his apprentice Ma Hua to test the waters.
On the day of the opening, many people came to congratulate me. More than a dozen leaders of the steel rolling mill came, including senior leaders who had retired for several years.
The reason why Lin Zhen was able to buy the entire building so smoothly was mostly because the big boss gave him a greeting.
Otherwise, just going through the formalities and procedures will be delayed until next spring.
Lin Zhen and Lou Xiao'e accompanied the senior leader and his wife in the private room. Factory Director Yang and the two newly appointed deputy directors also came to greet the senior leader.
The big leader smiled and said: "We, the old couple, are just here to eat. You three go and do your work. Don't tell the section chief and director in the factory that I am here. It's too much trouble."
Director Yang smiled and said, "Okay, we'll go over right away. If you have anything to say, just ask the waiter to call us."
After Factory Director Yang and the other three left, the senior leader said to Lin Zhen and his wife, "You guys should go and get busy. You don't need to waste time with us. Come back when you're not busy for a while."
Lin Zhen smiled and said, "Okay, let's go talk to Aunt Liu from the street office and Director Zhao from the district, and we'll come back to chat with you later."
"Go ahead, go ahead, by the way, this time I want to eat what you made by yourself!"
"Don't worry, boss, I've prepared all the bites you like."
The kitchen is already in full swing.
He Daqing was usually too tired to open his eyes, but when he stood in front of the stove, he became energetic in an instant.
He had heard about Lin Zhen using his cooking skills to win over Silly Zhu, and he also knew that Ma Hua was Lin Zhen's apprentice.
People who are truly capable want to compete, and He Daqing wanted to practice with MCA.
"Young man, shall we compete?"
Ma Hua smiled and said: "Old man, you are no longer able to use your muscles and bones as you are old. Just give some guidance to others in the kitchen. Don't do anything."
"Hey~ I'm not old, I can still play spoons, and with a chef's salary, I can't just wander around with my hands behind my back. I heard that you have obtained Lin Zhen's true biography, we have to compete."
As He Daqing spoke, he flipped the frying spoon, and the flames instantly reached a height of three feet, causing a hand of flowers to hit the four doors.
Ma Hua was surprised and said: "Aren't you proficient in Tan's cuisine and Sichuan cuisine? Are you so proficient in Shaanxi cuisine?"
"Hey, isn't this the Bacui Building? I have to know a few other things too!"
Ma Hua nodded in admiration, "Since the old man is always strong and strong, I will accompany you for a while, and you can comment on it!"
Ma Hua picked up a piece of water tofu and then picked up a sharp knife.
After a while of churning in the basin, a monkey's head was carved out, which looked lifelike on the side of the plate.
Drizzle with coriander root and lemon juice.
Then cook the aniseed in hot oil and softly fry onions, ginger, garlic and green peppers.
When it starts to smoke and is about to catch fire, pour it in, and the kitchen will be instantly filled with aroma.
"Old man, this dish of mine is an innovative assignment assigned by Master. I haven't named it yet. What do you think?"
He Daqing nodded in admiration, "Using tofu to make monkey brains is indeed an innovation. The freshness of coriander and lemon is mixed with the alcohol of various aniseed ingredients, as well as the fragrance of onion, ginger and garlic. The three flavors collide with the tender tofu in the hot oil.
It's delicious, good! It seems that the recipes still need to be innovated, and innovation means continuation. Only when new people come up with new recipes can the skills be passed down."
"How about we serve the food to a person who is the best at eating and let him try it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zhen came to the kitchen.
After looking at this new dish made by Ma Hua, I couldn't help but smile.
"Very good, bring it over. It's probably your fault that the big boss won't be able to eat it this time, hahahaha..."
