Zhao Meng handed the basin to Liu Junrong and said, "Stir evenly."
Liu Junrong quickly took it, put on disposable gloves, and mixed the eggs and starch thoroughly with his hands.
He usually does this level of work, so he mixes the starch very well into a thick consistency, which is very sticky when you grab a handful. It is also very dry and thin, and it sticks to your hands and does not fall off easily.
Zhao Meng checked it out of habit and found that he was very satisfied, so he gave some extra instructions when mixing the meat.
"Where's the marinated meat? Bring it over."
Liu Junrong hurriedly handed over the bacon basin.
Zhao Meng added the marinated meat and mixed the meat slices with the starch slurry while saying, "The most critical factor in whether the broth will be deslurried is the degree of dryness and wetness of the starch. Stir it until it becomes more sticky." It’s thick and doesn’t look dry or watery, so the smooth broth you make will not be meaty.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Junrong hurriedly came forward and watched Zhao Meng's operation carefully.
Zhao Meng pinched out the mixed meat slices and asked Liu Junrong to observe.
After Liu Junrong read it, he praised unintentionally: "Chef Zhao, you are so awesome! This step may seem simple, but it is actually very critical. This is all the experience you have accumulated from your daily cooking. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Willing to teach me this."
After saying that, he quickly made a promise: "Don't worry, I will definitely study hard and live up to your expectations of me!"
Everyone likes to hear good things. Liu Junrong's flattery made Zhao Meng feel smooth.
He did intend to support Liu Junrong, but he felt very comfortable to be thanked by him.
The reason why Zhao Meng has a better impression of Liu Junrong is because he feels that this guy is quite thoughtful, at least he doesn't take other people's kindness to him for granted.
This kind of grateful behavior made Zhao Meng very useful.
Zhao Meng smiled and nodded, acknowledging Liu Junrong's thanks.
Zhao Meng mixed the meat slices evenly and added cooking oil to the pot. Then he put the scallions into the pot, then added the prepared ginger and Sichuan peppercorns and stir-fried them to bring out their fragrance.
While he was frying, he explained: "Slippery pork soup is a relatively light soup. You can simmer it in the pot here. If you don't have enough time, you don't have to simmer it."
Liu Junrong responded quickly: "Okay, Chef Zhao, I remember it."
After the onions and ginger are fragrant, add water to the pot.
Zhao Meng continued: "You can add a little more water here. Boil the water. After the water boils, put the smooth meat into the pot piece by piece."
"Remember, the water in the pot must be kept boiling and turned on to the highest heat, so that the meat slices can be quickly formed after being put into the pot without de-slurry."
Liu Junrong stretched his head and stared into the pot.
Zhao Meng deliberately turned sideways to facilitate his observation.
When operating, I carefully warned: "Keep some distance when placing them, and don't stick together."
"Put it into the pot and cook for about a minute, then push it gently with a spatula to prevent them from sticking to each other and the bottom of the pot. After stirring well, turn up the heat and cook until the smooth meat is thoroughly cooked."
Zhao Meng took the chopsticks and demonstrated them to Liu Junrong, giving instructions: "First take out the green onion sections inside, and then add salt to taste."
"I am using Romaine lettuce. This lettuce should not be cooked for a long time, so you need to add salt first, then turn off the heat and put the lettuce into the pot. This lettuce does not need to be cooked over high heat, just blanch it with the water inside, so that it will taste better. Crisp and tender."
"Bring the big bowl over here!"
Liu Junrong hurriedly did as he was told.
Zhao Meng poured the smooth broth from the pot into a large bowl.
Set against the porcelain white wide-mouthed bowl, the Sichuan soup with smooth meat looks crystal clear and the soup has a clear color.
This is a very light soup dish that tastes smooth and refreshing.
When Zhao Meng first learned to make this dish from Chef Hao, he thought that this dish would be suitable for eating in winter.
Now that the season is right, I made more of this dish.
The dishes on the order list were all served. Zhao Meng asked Fu Yu to help take the order, and he specially
Went to the front hall.
When he came back, Zhao Meng, who had always been resolute, had obviously a little red eyes.
Just in time, Wang Yuxuan came over to serve the dishes. Seeing Zhao Meng's appearance, Wang Yuxuan couldn't help but be a little surprised, and asked with concern: "Chef Zhao, what's wrong?"
Zhao Meng sighed: "Oh, it's nothing. I just heard Chef Hao say something about him and his sister-in-law, and I felt a little emotional..."
Wang Yuxuan has been working in the store for a long time and knows Chef Hao. Hearing what Zhao Meng said, he nodded in agreement: "No, otherwise it is said that young couples come to keep company all the time."
Just as Zhao Meng was about to speak, Dai Li came over at this time.
Seeing Zhao Meng, Dai Li casually told him, "Don't forget to take back the clothes you changed at night."
Zhao Meng agreed and personally helped pass the dishes on the serving table: "Serve it slowly, be careful of scalding it."
Dai Li smiled and agreed: "I know, get busy."
Zhao Meng said yes, but still accompanied Dai Li to the door of the kitchen, watched the people leave, and then turned back.
The dishes that Wang Yuxuan was waiting for were not finished yet, so he smiled and joked: "Chef Zhao, you are so kind to your sister! I'm envious..."
Next to him, Liu Junrong interjected: "That's why Sister Dai is so kind to Chef Zhao. You don't know that our Chef Zhao's work clothes are always one set in the morning and one set in the afternoon. They are always fresh and refreshing. Unlike us, we can wear them every day." Wearing a set of work clothes and a sweat-stained wheel."
Zhao Meng smiled: "Indeed, she is really nice to me, and she works very hard."
After Wang Yuxuan heard this, although he didn't say anything, he thought in his heart that if she were Dai Li, she would definitely treat Zhao Meng so well.
After all, in her eyes, Zhao Meng is Chollima's chef, with a good position and high salary.
And Dai Li is just a waiter. In her opinion, Dai Li is a complete high achiever.
In particular, Dai Li is still married for the second time and has a child. Apart from being younger and more beautiful, there is nothing special about her.
Zhao Meng, on the other hand, although he is a bit older, he is an upright person. He has a house, a car and savings. Even if he is getting married for the second time, he has no worries about emotional matters.
Moreover, Zhao Meng is not only successful in his career, but also has a very clean private life. He is not the kind of frivolous and immoral person.
Therefore, in her opinion, Dai Li was good to Zhao Meng because she was afraid that Zhao Meng would not want her.
In her mind, Zhao Meng's conditions were much better than Dai Li's.
Although Liu Junrong has a lively mind, he really hasn't thought about it in this regard.
He simply wanted to please Zhao Meng, so he deliberately said: "Emotions are all mutual. If Dai Jie is good to Chef Zhao, it is because Chef Zhao has really done his job."
Zhao Meng is a relatively reserved person and rarely talks about his emotional affairs with outsiders.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but say a few more words: "Actually, compared to her, my contribution and contribution to the family are really far inferior to hers." 「
When Wang Yuxuan heard this, he immediately became interested and couldn't help but ask: "Hey, Chef Zhao, I have never heard you and Sister Dai talk about your affairs. By the time I found out, you were already together. How come there were no signs before?"
In fact, Zhao Meng usually doesn't like to talk about his own affairs, especially family affairs. He doesn't like to mention this at all, and he rarely talks about other people's gossip.
But when it comes to this, he is quite calm.
"Xiaodai and I have gotten along naturally. We have worked together for several years and we see each other every day. We understand each other very well."
"Actually, I've always thought she was a nice person, and I liked her a lot. But she worried too much and was always afraid that she would drag me down. That's why we didn't confirm the relationship until my birthday this year."
Mentioning the things between the two of them, Zhao Meng couldn't help but have a warm smile on his face, and at the same time he felt quite emotional.
If Dai Li hadn't quietly given him a pair of wristbands she knitted on his birthday, he might not have made up his mind right away. No matter how much Dai Li refused, he would definitely stay with Dai Li.
That night, Zhao Meng didn't see his bed until he returned to his dormitory after get off work.
There is a bag on the floor.
He opened it and found a pair of black knitted wristbands. In addition, there was a card signed "Xiaodai".
The blessings on the card are just a few simple sentences, in the style of ordinary friends, a formulaic birthday greeting.
Zhao Meng stared at those two sentences for ten minutes, staring blankly at the words on the card. Suddenly he felt that his heart was touched. This girl is very cute and attractive...
At that time, he tried on a pair of wrist braces and found them to be tight and comfortable. He happened to suffer from tenosynovitis during those two days, so he put them on directly the next day.
And he also deliberately rolled up his sleeves in front of others to reveal the wrist guards he was wearing.
Zhao Meng didn't know what he was thinking at that time. He was still old, lonely, lonely, and his psychology was inevitably fragile. He wanted someone to care about him, and wanted to see someone treat him well.
I want to know that my weight in some people's hearts is different.
Zhao Meng felt that he was not like this before. He didn't care about anyone before, but now that he is old and has nothing to show off or squander, he seems to have become a little childish.
Zhao Meng is the chef, so the kitchen counter is located right next to the food delivery station and closest to the entrance to the back kitchen, giving him a good view.
In the past, when he was cooking, the most annoying thing was to pass the dishes around. He always set the plate and asked Sun Qingning, who was his assistant cook at the time, to carry it over.
Later, for some unknown reason, from one day onwards, he began to carry the dishes to the table in person after setting them, completely ignoring Sun Qingning's fearful eyes...
From the position where he was cooking, turning his head slightly, he could just see the corridor leading from the front hall to the door of the back kitchen.
Whenever Daili came quickly from the front hall, Zhao Meng would always notice it immediately.
Zhao Meng stared calmly, first to see how many plates Dai Li carried and whether she was walking steadily.
Later, she stopped looking at the plate and walking, but looked at the makeup on the person's face and whether the lipstick color had been changed. Her eyes traced the curve of Dai Li's neck when she inadvertently raised her head, and the way she raised her chest when she picked up the tray.
Sometimes, Dai Li is in a good mood and full of energy. When she leaves with the dishes, her steps will be very brisk.
When I walk, my butt is very upturned, which is very beautiful.
Zhao Meng watched as this man walked out of the kitchen door and out of sight.
His head moved subconsciously, and then moved again... chasing the figure, and unexpectedly met the eyes of Sun Qingning who was waiting for instructions next to him.
Sun Qingning: "!... Chef Zhao? What, what's wrong?"
Zhao Meng's expression suddenly changed, and he said calmly: "It's okay."
Sun Qingning was too frightened to say anything, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes.
On the third day after his birthday, when Zhao Meng washed his wristband at night, he was surprised to find that there were words embroidered on it: ZM
Only then did he know that the wristband was sewn by Dai Li herself.
It was also because of this incident that he completely made up his mind that if he got married again in this life, the bride would definitely be Dai Li.
Listening to Zhao Meng's gentle tone talking about the two of them being together.
Wang Yuxuan and Liu Junrong both had expressions of emotion on their faces.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is really not easy for Dai Li. After the divorce, she raised her daughter alone, and there were elderly people at home to take care of.
There is an old person at the top and a young person at the bottom. The whole family is supported by her alone.
Even Zhao Meng couldn't help but feel a little moved when he recalled this.
"Xiaodai is actually only in her twenties, and she is very beautiful, but...even if she is wearing makeup, it is required by the store to wear makeup when working. Otherwise, she would not be able to dress herself up at all."
"Normally she is reluctant to even spend money on beautiful clothes, but as long as she spends money on me, my children and the elderly, she is willing to spend any amount."
"When she comes home after a day's work, no matter how tired she is, she will wash the family's clothes. As long as she takes time off, she will clean the house inside and outside. She doesn't let me interfere with the housework at all. She knows that I I have tenosynovitis, and I'm afraid I'll injure my hands alive."
"Always talking about my level
It was too hard working in the kitchen at that time. When I got home, I was only allowed to rest, and there was no way to set up a board to feed me. "
Having said this, Zhao Meng couldn't help but feel a little sore in his nose and became emotional.
"She always says that I am good to her, but in fact I really don't contribute as much to our family as she does."
"In her opinion, being able to be with me is because she has reached a higher level. But in fact, in my opinion, meeting her is the luckiest thing in my life."
"I'm over 40 years old, so much older than her, but she doesn't think I'm old. I have such a bad temper, but she's willing to accommodate me."
"Really, although it didn't take long for us to get together, I feel that as long as I live forever, I will definitely be able to grow old with her."
Wang Yuxuan and Liu Junrong were both moved by these words.
This kind of love that pays for each other, protects each other from wind and rain, and lives a good life wholeheartedly is the most enviable at any time.
In this life, it is extremely difficult to meet someone who truly likes you and is willing to treat you well.
In this materialistic society, how much true love is still being paid silently?
At this time, Wang Yuxuan no longer had the thought of despising Dai Li before.
She couldn't help but recall the time when Dai Li first came to work in the store. At that time, Dai Li was just a very young single mother who dressed simply, loved to talk and laugh.
And now, in a blink of an eye, she has grown her daughter so big.
Thinking about it, I suddenly felt that Dai Li was really amazing.
Regarding his previous thoughts, Wang Yuxuan suddenly felt a little ashamed. At the same time, he couldn't help but silently bless in his heart: Such people deserve happiness!
