Chapter 162 Meet Gao Lijue again (please subscribe)
The second uncle Liu Haizhong was startled. He thought what he just said had irritated the deaf old lady.
He hurriedly smiled at the deaf old lady and said: "You must! You must! Old lady, wait a minute, I will order more rotten pork noodles for you."
Rotten pork noodles are a specialty of big teahouses. As the saying goes, don’t care about donkeys and horses. Flirt with them when you are full. This is a dialect of the people in Laosijiucheng. The meat used in rotten pork noodles is all scraps and is cheap.
Fengsheng was Mr. Lu Xun’s favorite during the Republic of China.
Large teahouses basically provide these things, but Qing teahouses, book teahouses, and chess teahouses do not have these.
The deaf old lady nodded slightly after hearing this and was too lazy to look around.
At the moment, the deaf old lady is too conflicted. She is a little dissatisfied with being placed in a corner position and feels that she has been neglected!
However, she also wants her ears to be clean and doesn’t want to go on stage to join in the fun.
Her thoughts can be described as ice and fire.
At this moment, the teahouse manager came to invite Shazhu and Lu Weidong to go to the kitchen downstairs.
A group of three people came to the back room downstairs. Shazhu took the reward from the teahouse manager, listened to the request, and took action immediately.
"Master Lu, I heard that you can make authentic Beijing-style braised noodles, could you please help me?" The teahouse manager took out three one-dollar bills, put them into Lu Weidong's hand and said with a smile.
The same reward as Silly Pillar, three yuan.
This is also the market price usually charged by cooks for jobs.
The only difference is that Lu Weidong and Shazhu are not ordinary cooks.
This price shows that Director Wang still despises the profession of cook from the bottom of his heart, and does not care too much about the feelings of Lu Weidong and Shazhu.
They completely treat Lu Weidong and Silly Zhu as ordinary cooks, but demand the best work.
Lu Weidong nodded, stuffed the money into the upper pocket of his shirt, and smiled at the male manager: "No problem, but how many bowls should I make?"
"The small tea bowl is so big, two hundred bowls are enough." The teahouse manager made an estimate and said.
It seems that there are more than 200 visitors at most.
This is not too little!
It is estimated that the halls upstairs and downstairs can be filled.
Lu Weidong smiled and agreed, then started looking for ingredients to make soup.
Lu Weidong didn't bother to pay attention to Director Wang's contempt. He just wanted to complete his workload and go back.
He has too many things to think about. From now on, he should do less private work.
Unless you really can’t refuse.
When making braised noodles, the most important thing is to make the marinade.
It can be divided into Beijing-style methods, Jin-style methods, and Ludi methods.
Sijiucheng pays attention to its grand appearance, so why not! Beijing-style braised noodles, add antler greens, sprinkle with white pepper and coriander, spicy yet fresh, and have all the seasonings...
Shazhu was assigned to cook the famous bird's nest in clear soup, which is the most famous dish of Tan's cuisine.
This dish is made from dozens of ingredients such as chicken, duck, elbow, scallops, ham, etc., boiled into a clear soup and fine bird's nest. When this dish comes out of the pot, the soup is as clear as water, slightly beige, and the bird's nest is slippery and not slippery.
Crushed, delicious, and endless aftertaste in your mouth.
Silly Zhu was so busy that he was sweating profusely and had no skills at all.
Lu Weidong’s place is much simpler, using dried noodles instead of hand-rolled noodles.
Anyway! If you give me this little money, you should worry less if you should!
Lu Weidong did not expect that Director Wang would help one day. After all, after a little inquiry, he knew that the price of asking Director Wang to help was very high...
Upstairs, a cross talk performance came to an end, followed immediately by singing.
A girl from a song and dance troupe came on stage to sing. She sang the most popular military song with a loud voice, graceful and emotional.
This made everyone at more than a dozen tables in the audience give warm applause.
Just a song!
Director Wang began to speak on the stage. She first thanked everyone for coming, then reviewed the history of Wangji Tea House, talked about the current achievements and the purpose of serving the people, and then invited the district leaders to speak on the stage.
Then came a city leader, and finally, the distinguished guests at the three tables in front of the stage came on stage to take photos and leave them as souvenirs.
After walking through this routine, it was time for tea and communication. The atmosphere upstairs and downstairs immediately became lively.
Director Wang supported an old man and greeted the guests one by one. When he came to the deaf old lady's table, the old man talked around the deaf old lady for a while before going to the next table.
"Who is that old lady? What makes the Wang family so enthusiastic!" someone asked curiously.
"Haha! This one is extraordinary! Didn't you see that when the city leaders and district leaders came over, did they all go to the corner to say hello? People live longer and know more people." Someone said implicitly.
"No wonder! This shelf is so big!"......
Downstairs, Lu Weidong finally finished his work. He took off his apron and walked out of the back door of the kitchen to get some fresh air.
As soon as Lu Weidong left, Shazhu immediately trotted over to the rows of small bowls of braised noodles. He dipped his chopsticks into the marinated sauce and tasted it carefully.
Shazhu had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Finally, he could taste Lu Weidong's craftsmanship in person.
But...?
Why does it feel a little ordinary?
Silly Zhu was startled, with a look of confusion deep in his eyes...
Lu Weidong was washing his face and hands in the sink. The room was so stuffy that he started to sweat for a while.
Suddenly, Lu Weidong stopped washing his hands.
Because, he spotted a figure entering the backyard of the teahouse.
This figure happened to pass by the light, and Lu Weidong saw this face from a distance.
Gao Lijue!
That’s right! It’s this handsome young man with glasses, Gao Lijue!
His sneaky look reminded Lu Weidong of an idiom.
If a night owl comes into the house and shows up for anything, it's definitely not a good thing.
Lu Weidong immediately stuffed the towel into his pocket, hid in the darkness nearby, and observed Gao Lijue's every move in the distance.
I saw Gao Lijue looking around, carefully crossing the backyard and climbing up the open-air stairs outside.
Soon, he disappeared up the stairs, probably going to the top of the building.
Just when Lu Weidong was hesitant to follow, suddenly, the back door on the second floor lit up, the door was pushed open, and a woman walked out. She closed the back door casually, turned around and walked up the stairs.
Under the light, this woman's fat figure, fat cheeks, shining silver headdress, and a purple dress set off her wealth.
Lu Weidong didn't know this woman, he just felt that she would be a wealthy woman in future generations.
Seeing this woman disappear at the top of the stairs, Lu Weidong suddenly burst into laughter.
Damn it!
A pretty boy paired with a rich woman will definitely not do anything good!
I just don’t know who this woman is?
If it was left by Liu Zhongjing...
Thinking of this, Lu Weidong felt a little unusual.
He paused, feeling that there was no such store after passing through this village, and he would not come back before he missed the opportunity. Otherwise, he would regret it if he missed a spy who might be a hidden agent.
After all, the great spy Liu Zhongjing was arrested because of him, Lu Weidong.
If his subordinates put the blame on Lu Weidong and want to retaliate, they need to be very alert to deal with it, not letting go of any suspicion.
Thinking of this, Lu Weidong hurriedly crossed the courtyard and walked towards the open-air stairs.
