"Xiaolou, help me carry it to the kitchen. We'll have it for lunch!"
Second Young Master Xingyu is very skillful in calling his assistants.
Lou Zhenghao: "..."
What else could he do besides complying? After all, he was indeed an assistant in Gong Gong's eyes.
Qi Hui did not forget to tell him: "Tell the cook for me that I want the fish belly to be steamed, the fish back to be braised, the fish head to be stewed, and the tail to be grilled with green and red pepper..."
As he spoke, he sucked his lips.
Lou Zhenghao looked away, saying that he didn't notice.
The protection target this time was definitely the most unconventional and unexpected protection target among all the protection tasks he had received since he entered the military.
Just when you think he is neurotic and silly, with no characteristics that should be found in a protected person, he suddenly surprises you - an invention as small as three or two days, or as big as incredible.
Undersea City;
And when you feel that he is mysterious, great, and all the words that describe people as awesome and powerful are all piled together, which may not accurately express your admiration for him like a torrential river, he will immediately show you that he is childish and ordinary.
It seems that his brain circuit is different from ordinary people.
Qi Hui didn't feel the complicated look from an outstanding bodyguard at all. After he finished speaking, he felt that instead of letting his assistant explain it, it would be better to go to the kitchen and tell the chef face to face, and maybe he could enjoy the grouper faster.
!
The cook on duty today is none other than Lou Jianguo, who was rescued by Lu Chixiao and his party who were lucky enough to be lifted into a salvage boat and sailed home after almost being shipwrecked.
Not only him, but his wife was also on board.
One of the couple is responsible for providing three meals a day for the crew on odd days, and the other is responsible for the cleaning of the upper cabin.
Originally, their son wanted to be an ocean-going sailor after graduation, and they didn't want to be unable to see his son all year round, so they came up with this idea.
As a result, the son was still half a year away from graduation, so the couple came to work on the ship first.
The fishing boat that supports the family has sunk to the bottom of the sea. Let’s buy a new one. Think about it, it will only last for half a year at most. Then when my son comes to work on the boat, won’t the fishing boat have to be idle? Don’t buy it. What is the best way to make a living in the next half year? That’s right.
In a dilemma, Lu Chixiao called their street and asked someone to send him a message, saying that the salvage ship wanted to recruit some cooks who knew local cuisine and asked him if he wanted to work on the ship and receive preferential treatment...
The couple immediately packed up and came to the fjord.
The first month was just training, they didn’t do much work, and they were actually paid. After becoming a full-time employee, their monthly salary was four figures, which was more than what they earned from hard work in fishing. The key is that the risk is small. Such a big year
It was a salvage ship that was not affected by typhoons and heavy storms at sea. Staying in the cabin felt as safe as at home. Without looking out the window, after a long time, it felt like they were staying at home! The couple was happy for this.
You have to smile when you meet everyone.
After catching such a big grouper, Lou Jianguo's smile lines at the corners of his eyes deepened: "You caught a fish so quickly? And it's so big! It's amazing!"
Qi Hui actually didn't think this fish was big. He had seen many huge fish on Aquamarine Star. This grouper was just a follower at best, but this was the first fish he caught in the sea after arriving at Noon Star.
The joy is self-evident.
"Uncle, I would like to have one portion each of steamed, braised, stewed and barbecued. Do you like it?"
"It's done! Why can't it be done? It's such a big one, not to mention one portion each, several portions each is fine." Lou Jianguo turned around and grabbed a handful of salt to remove the mucus on the surface of the fish, and then used a steel plate to peel off the scales.
After cleaning it, he put it under the faucet and rinsed it. Then he raised the knife and broke the big fish into several large pieces. According to Qi Huiti's requirements: stew the fish head in soup, grill the fish tail, and steam the fish belly.
Add scallion oil, add some chili pepper to the fish back meat, and braise it with soybean paste.
Before noon arrived, Qi Hui was hungry - he looked hungry.
Suddenly, I discovered that there are cooking masters everywhere - they can make several kinds of delicacies with one ingredient without blinking an eye.
Lou Jianguo looked at the admiring look on his face, laughed loudly, and joked to himself: "I usually have no other hobbies, I just like tinkering with food. My wife married me because she liked this in me."
Everyone was happy.
"Old Lou, what are you cooking for? It smells so good! I can smell it on the second floor." Wang Dezhong, another chef who took turns cooking with Lou Jianguo, walked in.
Wang Dezhong's cousin is the deputy mayor of Fjord Town. He was able to work as a cook on the salvage ship because of his cousin's help.
Before he came to salvage the ship, he was the second chef of a hotel in the county town. The chef was getting older, and he said last year that he would not continue working this year after finishing his job. Wang Dezhong was eagerly waiting for the old chef to retire, and he would be promoted to chef and his salary would increase.
.
Unexpectedly, as soon as work started after the Chinese New Year, the hotel owner brought a young man with a tender face over and said that this was the new chef in the future, and asked everyone in the kitchen to listen to his words.
Wang Dezhong felt uncomfortable in his heart. He thought that he had been working diligently as the second chef for seven or eight years and had finally managed to get ahead, but he lost to a fair-faced boy with no hair on his head? Why did he graduate from Mi Qilin School?
Outstanding student... Bah! Let's put it this way, he graduated from Mi Balin! He has been in charge for eight years, does that kid have eight years? He was not developed eight years ago!
In a fit of anger, I came out of the hotel.
After he came out, he didn't find a job immediately. Instead, he stayed at home and drank. One time when he took his cousin to drink, he heard that the director of the Institute of Oceanography resigned and went to sea to build a salvage boat. He couldn't help but feel moved in his heart:
The director of the Institute of Oceanography is so visionary. When he built a rainbow-colored staff dormitory building in the town and a strange-shaped oceanographic institute on Fuming Island, how many people scolded him behind his back for being stupid. What happened? The rainbow-colored staff dormitory building became
One of the ten scenic spots in the fjord, Fuming Island has become a major scenic spot in Yupo due to its ocean location.
Nowadays, how many public units imitate Haiyang Institute and paint the walls of their staff dormitories with rainbow paint, and how many units move their architectural styles closer to Haiyang Institute...
How come such a visionary person suddenly quits his job and joins the sea? Is it possible that the new industry of marine salvage is very profitable?
Wang Dezhong asked his cousin to be a lobbyist and wanted to work on the salvage ship.
At that time, Lu Chixiao was indeed recruiting people, including cooks, sailors, and handymen.
There are a lot of people applying for high wages, but most of them are strong and strong sailors, handymen, good at cooking, can swim, don't get seasick, and can live on a ship for a year and a half as a cook.
I really can't find anyone.
The deputy mayor came to recommend his cousin, and since the above conditions were met, he was asked to come over.
In the first few days when he started working on the salvage ship, Wang Dezhong was the only cook in the kitchen except for the handyman. He was secretly happy: It would be great if no one knew how to cook! In this way, he could do some little things, such as giving some of the best ingredients to himself.
No one knows about the small stove.
Unexpectedly, the good days had only begun half a month ago, and the salvage ship had not yet officially gone to sea. The boss recruited another person to come in. He was the one who was rescued at sea during the typhoon. At first glance, he seemed to be an honest man.
Wishful thinking was shattered.
Wang Dezhong started to mutter: There are only twenty or thirty crew members on a ship, so why hire two cooks? Although they have to make three meals a day plus midnight snacks for the seafarers on duty, at five in the morning
He had to get up before midnight and couldn't go to bed until after 11pm, but there were two hours between meals where he could take a nap. He didn't complain, so why did the boss worry so much!
But everyone is here, and no matter how unhappy they are, they can only bury it in their stomachs. After all, the salary offered to them is still very high. If they fall out with the boss again like before, where will they find such a high salary and such leisure for a while?
Going to work?
Therefore, in the days after Lou Jianguo arrived, Wang Dezhong did not dare to pick up ingredients casually, for fear that Lou Jianguo would notice.
Every time I took a break, I would hold a cigarette and think: I might as well wait until the time gets longer and the two of them become familiar with each other, and then I can hug Lou Jianguo together. I can buy more dry goods and the like and sell them when the ship docks.
Exchange money.
In this way, even if the boss discovers it one day, he can still blame it on Lou Jianguo, saying that it was him who came up with the idea and took the lead.
Thinking of this, Wang Dezhong stretched himself comfortably. At this time, he heard a sailor in the corridor talking about a fish so big that the bucket couldn't even fit it... A tiger jumped up and sat up from the bed. Big fish? The bucket couldn't fit it.
?How can there be such a big fish in the kitchen cold storage?
I walked downstairs in confusion.
When I came to the kitchen, I happened to see Lou Jianguo putting fish heads into a big pot, and he whispered in surprise:
"Yo! Such a big fish head! Look, the eyes don't look like frozen goods. Where did they come from?"
Lou Jianguo replied with a simple smile: "Gong Gong caught it."
"Caught?" Wang Dezhong was even more surprised, "How can you catch fish at such a fast speed? And it's such a big fish?"
So surprised!
He rolled his eyes and found another way to make money. Thinking that the two brothers were good friends, he put his arms around Qi Hui's shoulders: "Gong Gong, I have never fished on such a big boat. Please teach me when you have time!"
After a pause, Xiao Jiujiu lowered his voice and said what was in his heart: "How about we cooperate? You will be responsible for fishing, and I will be responsible for salting and drying. When we return to the fjord, I will find someone to take action, and we will split in half?"
Qi Hui looked at him strangely: "Take action? What do you mean?"
Wang Dezhong choked, thinking that he was probably a fool who didn't even understand what "taking action" meant?
Of course, I couldn't dislike the appearance, so I patiently explained in a low voice: "I just want to sell it in the market..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qi Hui: "Why sell it? I haven't even eaten enough!"
After speaking, he walked back to Wang Dezhong and stared at the bubbling fish soup with saliva: "Uncle, when can I drink it?"
Wang Dezhong: "..."
I was so angry that my beer belly got even bigger.
Is this guy an engineer? Why does he look like a fool and a foodie?
The disgusted expression was still on his face, and he turned around to find Lou Zhenghao looking at him thoughtfully with his arms folded.
Wang Dezhong was excited and immediately changed his face to a smile: "I'm taking a break today. I feel panicked after lying down for a long time, so I came down for a walk."
