Life in Luoan Central City has settled down, the promised cafe has been built, and everything is on track very smoothly.
However, precisely because it went too smoothly, I always felt uneasy in my heart.
In my mind, I sometimes think like this, fearing that everything is just a beautiful dream, and when I wake up, it will be a cruel reality.
Store manager Dun Wu and Yi, no, should I say I am the store manager? It seems not very suitable. Well, I really want to say that now I am the boss, and Mr. Dun Wu and Yi are the store managers. After all, store managers are usually the ones in the store.
I don’t have the best skills, so I’ll just be the boss.
Having said that, he must be quite surprised that the renovation of the cafe was completed so quickly.
The mysterious decoration master whose name I don't know disappeared without a trace. He only mentioned the signboard of his shop, and I only remembered his appearance and the signboard name "Wu Shi Workshop". However, these days
After shopping around Luoan Central City for so long, I couldn't find this decoration shop at all, as if this person had never appeared before.
Maybe it's just like what he said, we can only meet again by fate.
The harder you look for it deliberately, the harder it will be to find it. When fate comes, you will naturally meet again.
No matter what, the result is good. Mr. Dun Wu and his family have all moved in, at least they don't have to live in the temporary shacks in the refugee area.
It's neither warm enough nor safe. It couldn't be worse.
However, even so, there are still many people who have to live in that place. They will be homeless until their homes and the cities where they once lived are recovered.
I once asked Mr. Tunwu Kazuichi why he fell into such poverty. His answer was that before the disaster, the savings he had saved over the years were used to buy a building in Yawu City in order to provide more for his family.
They had a good living environment, but the sudden arrival of the disaster caught them off guard. The building that they could move into in half a month was completely wasted.
In the process of escaping, I was very unlucky to be robbed, and most of my valuables were taken away.
For Mr. Dun Wu and Mr. Yi's experience, it can only be described as misfortunes never come singly.
Fortunately, I have never been so unlucky. Well...wait a minute, most of the dangers I have encountered seem to be life-threatening... In other words, I am relatively unlucky? But why do I feel that I am very lucky?
How does it feel?
Is it because you have survived every disaster?
The same thing happened with the opening of the coffee shop. It was packed with customers on the first day. Rather than saying that I am lucky, I should probably thank this guy Griffin. Although I expected that this guy would be very popular, I didn't expect that he would be so popular.
At this point, just a little advertising and cuteness will cause a large number of people to flock to it.
The heat has not dropped for several days.
No matter what the reason is, you should express your gratitude.
but...
"Hey, hey, Lian Ye! I have helped you so much, why don't you thank me properly!"
Looking at Horifan's arrogant and proud nose, which seems to have grown longer, I don't know why I don't feel even a micron of gratitude!
Why did you come to my house, and why did you lie on the sofa and play with your mobile phone without being polite at all? I am not in a hurry to entertain you. Today, I am wearing a mink fur coat and short skirt and white stockings, which unexpectedly feels very good...
Ah! I have no interest in this twin-tailed transvestite! Not at all!
I feel like I'm almost incoherent.
"Ah, okay, I'll treat you to a meal, and you won't have to play games. I want to go to bed early."
"Hey~, it's okay to eat. Where can we eat? Royal Hotel? Bongba Bucha? Viking Teahouse?"
"I think too much, I'll cook for you."
"Eh?"
Horifan showed a surprised look.
"What? Are you dissatisfied with anything?"
"No, you don't look like someone who can cook, can you? My young master has a very tricky mouth."
"Eat or not, I will fall down if I don't eat."
"Eat eat eat!"
Really, after talking so much nonsense, it’s rare for me to cook by myself!
Well, wait a minute, how do you use this rice cooker?
After tinkering for a while, I finally figured out how to use it. I don't know why Hriphon looked here with a worried look. What are he worried about? He can't poison it.
Take a look at what ingredients are in the refrigerator, um, beef, potatoes, carrots, cucumbers... Very good, let’s make beef stew with potatoes and cucumbers tonight, and the cucumbers will be made into cold salad.
I haven’t made this for a long time. I remember that the first dish I learned was this dish. My mother taught me step by step when I was a child. It is also my favorite dish.
Although many years have passed, the scene of cooking with my mother in the kitchen is still vivid in my mind. Every step of the process is well remembered in my mind, as well as the familiar taste.
Peel and wash the potatoes, cut them into pieces and soak them in water for a period of time. Slicing the ginger will taste better, cut the green onions into small sections, and cut the radishes into equal cubes.
While the potatoes are soaking, wash the beef, cut it into bite-sized pieces in the opposite direction along the grain, and then put it into boiling water to remove blood and unnecessary odor.
During this period, you can start cutting the potatoes. They are also in the shape of easy-to-eat pieces. After cutting the potatoes, the beef has almost been deodorized. Heat the pot, add oil, ginger slices and green onions, stir-fry until fragrant, and add beef.
Stir-fry, add soy sauce, a little cooking wine, and stir-fry for a few minutes.
Pour in water, add star anise, cinnamon and bay leaves, etc., cover the pot, and simmer over high heat. After about fifty minutes, you can add the potato cubes and radish cubes. Stir evenly with the beef, then cover the pot and simmer over low heat.
Cook for about thirty minutes.
If you spend most of the time waiting, controlling the heat and simmering time is the key to making the food delicious.
"Lian Ye~~ I'm not feeling well yet, I'm hungry~"
"Wait a minute, you don't want to eat something that's not delicious."
"Hey~~ I've been waiting for almost an hour."
Tsk, don’t you understand that you can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry?!
Hmm? This taste, oh oh, is almost ready, just wait for about ten seconds.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four...
OK! Start the pot!
Plate it!
"Oh oh oh!! It smells so good!!"
Griffin looked at the beef and potato stew on the dinner plate with gleaming eyes, and his mouth was already drooling.
"Here, I'll give you a big bowl of rice."
"Oh, thank you!"
Humph, just be grateful. You are the second person like this to be able to eat meals cooked by me.
Huh? There seems to be something wrong, ah, I remembered, this meal was made as a thank you gift... No wonder it feels like the other way around.
"Uh-huh~ It's delicious! Although it's not as delicious as what my chef cooks."
"Ah? Don't you want to eat it?"
"No, no, no, I eat, I eat!"
Griffin quickly protected the potato goulash in front of him.
What a boy who doesn't know how to be polite at all.
"I'm telling the truth...even though it's not as delicious as the one made by my chef, I like this taste better. Hey, why on earth?"
Hriphon showed a happy smile while eating.
Of course, this is the authentic taste of my mother.
Helifen, you must have never tasted the food cooked by your mother. Let's taste it this time. I tried my best to recreate the beef and potatoes cooking that my mother made for me.
Well, but if his father's family is so rich, would his mother cook for his father when she was alive?
"I said Lian Ye."
"how?"
"I've felt before that Lian also feels like my mother."
