After finishing cooking the shrimp and lotus root tower, Liu Yunong had to give up the idea of letting Fu Yu do it again and watch and learn from the sidelines.
The two of them changed their clothes together and went back to the front hall.
Before Fu Yu left, he couldn't help but said: "Master, actually, I think you should try to break your original cooking thinking and operating habits. This process may be difficult, but only in this way can you improve! "
In fact, it's not that Liu Yunong is really stupid, but that cooking is like solving problems. If you want to make a breakthrough, you need to change your thinking, get out of the comfort zone you are used to, discover your own shortcomings, and then find ways to improve.
It may be difficult for Liu Yunong to detect the problems pointed out by Fu Yu.
However, now that Fu Yu has pointed it out, she may subconsciously want to change. This process may be very difficult for Liu Yunong.
However, progress itself is about making breakthroughs bit by bit in the process of constant denial.
Fortunately, Liu Yunong's own cooking experience is really rich. Fu Yu's guidance can allow her to increase and broaden her horizons. Therefore, Liu Yunong's mentality will be very stable, and she will quickly realize her shortcomings and start to think. How can we better break through ourselves and make progress.
Liu Yunong is a shrewd person. She heard the comfort in Fu Yu's words and smiled: "Well, I understand. I still want to thank you today."
Being able to accept one's own shortcomings calmly and be willing to correct them humbly is an ability and a manifestation of openness.
Fu Yu also smiled, said hello to Liu Yunong, and was about to leave when his cell phone suddenly rang.
He took it out and took a look. It was a message from Liu Yuqing.
[Da Meili: Haven’t you finished giving the gifts yet? When can you come back? 】
Liu Yunong followed beside him, preparing to send Fu Yu out. He took a step forward and happened to see the screen of Fu Yu's mobile phone. He saw that the avatar in the dialog box was the cute rabbit that Liu Yuqing usually used.
Fu Yu smiled after reading the message. When he raised his head, his eyes happened to meet Liu Yunong's, and he immediately explained with a smile: "Xiaoqing, ask me when I will go back."
Hearing this, Liu Yunong nodded: "It's getting late now, so you should leave quickly."
After saying that, he couldn't help but ask: "Does she always check the post like this?"
Fu Yu coughed and quickly explained: "No, she just cares about me."
Liu Yunong suddenly asked with great interest: "Xiao Fu, don't you find it annoying?"
Fu Yu was stunned for a moment. Want to test me?
This level of concern shouldn't be considered annoying, right?
Besides, without the care of your girlfriend, there would be no point in falling in love!
"Of course I'm not bothered!"
Liu Yunong suddenly wanted to laugh when he saw Fu Yu's crisp retort.
She didn't mean anything else, she just found it interesting to see Fu Yu and Liu Yuqing falling in love with each other.
Liu Yunong went abroad when he was eighteen years old. After finishing college, he directly participated in various chef competitions and even joined a food variety show for a time. As an adult, he has been exposed to Western culture and education. Although he is still traditional in his bones, I am somewhat more open-minded than my peers.
Maybe because of her age, she has always been in a very calm and controlled state in her love life, so when she sees Liu Yuqing happily talking about love every day, she sometimes becomes very curious.
However, it can be seen that Fu Yu still likes Liu Yuqing's dependence on Liu Yuqing, which Liu Yunong sees and finds useful.
Liu Yunong smiled at Fu Yu.
Fu Yu also smiled coquettishly.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but chuckle at the same time.
This feeling is just like a friend!
Very close.
It has to be said that because of Liu Yuqing's relationship, Fu Yu and Liu Yunong have become somewhat of a teacher and friend, and they also have an added bond of family ties.
The age difference between the two is not very big, and they both work in the same environment. They usually have common topics, especially now that they have Liu Yuqing as a solid communication bridge.
Liu Yunong personally escorted Fu Yu out of the hotel door and earnestly warned: "Pay attention to safety on the road!"
Fu Yu responded repeatedly, and suddenly felt very lucky that he had taken the person down when Liu Yuqing came to Qianlima for internship.
Otherwise... if you are targeting your sister-in-law, you will definitely have a long road to pursue your wife!
...
Fu Yu took a taxi and rushed back to Qianlima.
He got out of the car on the side street, and almost as soon as the taxi he was riding in took off, a taxi caught up behind him.
The two cars, one foot in front and one behind, stopped at the same spot.
Fu Yu walked in a hurry and didn't notice the movement behind him.
Then a taxi stopped on the side of the road. After a while, the back door was opened from the inside.
The first person to come down was a middle-aged woman in her early forties.
She got out of the car, but did not leave in a hurry. Instead, she stood there, bent down, and helped an elderly man out of the car.
The old man had gray hair and his body did not look strong. He was supported by a middle-aged woman and stood tremblingly.
The middle-aged woman closed the car door and helped the old man walk towards Qian Street.
Since Chollima bought the Daewoo Mall next door, it has directly merged the two stores into one.
There was originally a path between the two stores for passers-by, but it was also built into a building wall.
The middle-aged woman supported the old man and originally planned to cross the path to the main street. Unexpectedly, when she walked closer and took a look, the path was gone.
After looking around, I realized that the two buildings had been connected at some point.
The middle-aged woman frowned, and while supporting the old man, she couldn't help complaining: "Really, when was this renovated? It's obvious that when I came here in the first half of the year, I could still walk..."
After muttering a few words, I had no choice but to make a big circle along the side street to get to the front.
On a cold day, there is snow on the road, so you need to be extra careful when walking.
The middle-aged woman held the old man tightly, for fear that the other man would take a bite and touch it. She said to the old man in disgust: "I can't even tell you. I won't listen. Are you okay now? You've come so far for nothing." It’s an injustice.”
The woman was very sharp-tongued and spoke very sharply. She kept talking to the old man endlessly.
"You are so old, but you are still so greedy. If you want to eat seafood, I can't go to the Western Food Market to buy it and cook it for you! Do you have to spend this money to eat out? Is what they cook better than what you eat at home?"
"Do you know why food cooked outside tastes better than food cooked at home? It's because they use additives that are harmful to the human body."
"Haven't you heard that what is made in restaurants outside is all high-tech, and it is all blended, otherwise how could it be so fragrant? They are all the same ingredients, the same condiments, how can the taste be so different? More, think about it for yourself, is this true?"
The old man was being talked about, but he didn't say anything to refute. Looking at his expression, he looked a bit submissive.
The two walked all the way from the side street to the main street and arrived at the door of Chollima.
The old man couldn't help but said: "I know all what you said... However, their cooking is all made with real ingredients... and the taste is very good. If I don’t eat for a while, I’ll feel panicked!”
The old lady was seventy years old. Although she was dressed very warmly, she could tell just by looking at her exposed wrists and old face that her body was very thin.
Even so, the middle-aged woman was still panting from exhaustion because she had been carefully supporting the old man along the way for fear of slipping and bumping her feet.
As soon as the two of them entered the Maxima Hotel through the revolving door, a greeter came forward and greeted warmly: "Hello, please come inside!"
...
Fu Yu returned to the kitchen and started taking orders.
Although others didn't say it, the overall working atmosphere at Zhao Meng's side seemed to have suddenly become much more relaxed.
Sun Mingze had been immersed in cutting the pieces before. Not long after Fu Yu came back, Zhang Jinyu called him over to do the oiling work instead.
Sun Mingze didn't know what others were thinking. Anyway, he earnestly hoped that Fu Yu could stay in the kitchen.
Working with oil is much easier than chopping. Moreover, you are close to the kitchen counter, so you can watch other people cooking at any time. This is a rare learning opportunity.
Zhang Jinyu is also very happy that Fu Yu can come back.
He immediately explained the work in hand, and then began to follow Fu Yu step by step.
Zhao Meng quickly handed over some of the overwhelming ordering orders, and then Fu Yu began to cooperate in taking the orders and cooking together.
The work in the kitchen gradually became more orderly.
While Fu Yu was busy shaking the spoon, Xiao Lin, the waiter, came trotting over to the kitchen.
"Fu Chu!" Xiao Lin came straight to the kitchen counter where Fu Yu was sitting. Before he could catch his breath, he called out.
Zhang Jinyu was standing next to the food delivery station. When he heard the sound, he turned around and was quite surprised to see Xiao Lin: "Hey, didn't you just leave with the food? Are you back so soon?"
Xiao Lin said: "Customers in box 304 want to add dishes."
Zhang Jinyu said casually: "If you want to add more dishes, you can just place an order. Why do you come all the way here?"
Xiao Lin explained: "The dishes the customers ordered are not on our menu."
Fu Yu put the food in the pot on a plate and adjusted the shape while asking: "What dish are you ordering? Isn't it on our menu?"
Xiao Lin said: "The customer originally ordered Guobao Pork, but when it came to the table, an old man was dining and his teeth were not good and he couldn't bite, so he just wanted to eat this one, so I wanted to ask the chef if we could do it without pork. Try changing to other ingredients.”
Fu Yu frowned when he heard this: "This pot of meat must be cooked with oil. As long as the meat is wrapped in oil, the texture will definitely be chewy. No matter how crispy the noodles are, the inside will be better. The meat cannot be soft and glutinous."
Xiao Lin helped with ideas: "What if we don't use meat? Can't we use other ingredients?"
Fu Yu thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible, but if you want to make the texture of pot-roasted pork, it also needs to be chewy. It's a bit difficult to choose the ingredients."
Guobao Pork has a crispy, sweet and sour texture. When cooked, the meat slices are cut very thin and the noodles are evenly wrapped. When fried, the color is golden, the noodles swell and crispy, and the meat slices inside become chewier. The more fragrant.
If you don't use meat and replace it with other ingredients, first of all, the taste will be very different.
I want it to be crispy when you bite into it, and the ingredients inside are chewy...
In fact, the first alternative ingredient that Fu Yu thought of was fish.
The fish meat is tender and soft, so even people with bad teeth can eat it without any stress.
It was only fried with noodles. The fish meat was too thin and tasted terrible. It was too thick and it was difficult to cook the meat in a pot to look like the real thing.
The fish meat is also a bit too soft and tender. It would be okay to make sweet and sour fish slices, but the customer has already said that he wants to eat the pot-roasted pork...
Fish and meat are not acceptable, so don’t even think about shrimp and crab meat.
Fu Yu was thinking about suitable replacement ingredients, while Zhang Jinyu took a moment to talk to Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin is the newly promoted food waiter. Although the girl is not very beautiful, she has a very good temperament. She is tall and plump. She smiles before anyone says anything. When she smiles, a dimple appears in the left corner of her mouth. Careful Looking at it, it actually has a unique charm.
Zhang Jinyu actually didn't have anything else on his mind. He just felt that Xiao Lin had a good personality, and after getting along with him for a long time, he was very pleasing to the eye, so he was willing to chat with the little girl to relieve his boredom.
Seeing Fu Yu's embarrassed look, Xiao Lin couldn't help but whisper: "If it weren't for the fact that the old lady really wanted to take this bite, I would be too lazy to help with this trip."
Zhang Jinyu quickly praised: "You are still kind-hearted."
Xiao Lin smiled: "The customers of 304 are a mother and daughter. The old lady looks to be 70 years old. She said she came here specially from home because she wanted to eat our store's specialties."
Zhang Jinyu said with a smile: "This old lady is quite greedy!"
Xiao Lin was happy when he heard this: "People are like this when they get old. Didn't you see that her daughter was training her there, just like training a child! In fact, thinking about it, I don't blame the children for stopping her from going out. It's mainly because this winter It is indeed too cold, and the snow on the ground is quite thick. If it slips and falls, how can the old man be able to bear it?"
After listening, Zhang Jinyu nodded: "That's true! The old lady is quite stubborn."
Xiao Lin said: "However, her daughter is still very filial. Even if she didn't want to, she still came with her. The two of them ordered eight dishes, but the old lady only picked the hotpot meat to eat. After taking two bites, she said she couldn't take any more. ."
Zhang Jinyu was delighted: "The meat in the pot bun is indeed a bit hard. If you don't have good teeth, it will be really hard to eat."
Xiao Lin nodded and sighed: "This is because the children want to be filial. They have come, and the old lady wants to eat, so she must be allowed to eat."
Speaking of this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but recall the middle-aged woman in the box. Although she had a bad attitude, she still took very good care of the old man. Just looking at the old lady, she wanted to eat pot-stuffed pork, but she couldn't bite it. This is called Ask the waiter to ask the chef for help.
In fact, it is nothing more than wanting the old man to have a meal that he has longed for.
