Qinqin, Yier, Xiaoba and Qianmo followed Guo Zheng with the cart. Next to the snack area was the food processing area.
Nowadays, supermarkets are really becoming more and more convenient. Almost every supermarket of a certain size has a food processing area. There is almost a small restaurant here, and you can basically have everything you want to eat.
It's now 16:40, less than an hour and a half before get off work, and we're already getting ready.
Each basket started to steam and make a "bah" sound, and some of them were already out of the pot.
Platefuls of steamed buns, flower rolls, steamed buns, sugar triangles, hair cakes, rice cakes, etc. were laid out, and the smell was really refreshing.
Although everyone has eaten buns and steamed buns, the taste right out of the pan is different, much stronger than those that have been cooled and then reheated.
After smelling this aroma, the five of us came together. Not to mention, the five of us spent the afternoon shopping, trying and buying. Not to mention that we were still a little hungry now, and then we smelled the fragrance here again. Suddenly I felt a little empty in my stomach.
Fortunately, the food processing area in this supermarket can be checked out separately, which means that you can pay here, and after paying, you can sit next to it and eat directly, which also avoids the problem of the food getting cold when you turn around. And now there are many office workers who don’t want to order takeout, so they come here to change their taste. They eat at noon or evening and leave directly. There are many varieties here and the prices are not that expensive. The most important thing is that you can see The whole process of food preparation is very reassuring.
There wasn't anyone around yet, so there were plenty of empty seats next to them, leaving Xiaoba, Qianmo, and Yi'er sitting there looking at the shopping cart.
Guo Zheng and Qinqin came to the counter to see what they wanted to eat.
The person in charge of the counter here is an aunt in her early 40s. When she saw someone coming, she was very enthusiastic: "Come on, young man, little girl, let's see what you want to buy. These are all freshly baked, and they are hot and... The noodles are all very Xuanhu.”
As he got closer, Guo Zheng realized that there were actually a lot more things here than what he saw from a distance, such as steamed dumplings, steamed dumplings, siomai, corn, rice dumplings, etc. There were also two oil pans on the side of this stall. , here there are fried mahua, fried sesame balls, fried cakes and so on.
Guo Zheng chose two steamed buns for himself, one with meat filling and one with vegetarian filling. Qinqin also bought a rice dumpling. Xiaoba and Qianmo both said that they should watch and buy. Qinqin knew their appetite best. And like it, I bought a stick of corn for Xiaoba, half a basket of steamed dumplings for Yi'er, and a piece of steamed cake for Qianmo.
After paying the money, Guo Zheng and Qian Mo returned to their seats with the plates.
Xiaoba saw the corn on the plate and said, "Qinqin bought this for me, right?"
Guo Zheng said in surprise: "How did you know?? Couldn't I have bought it?"
Xiaoba squinted his eyes and said, "It's just you? Can you still think about this? I'm afraid you'll just give me a meat bun."
As he spoke, he looked at Guo Zheng with a look of disgust, then picked up his own corn and started eating it.
Guo Zheng was also used to Xiaoba's complaints, so he picked up the buns and started eating them.
It's fluffy and soft when you bite into it. It's different when it comes out of the pan. The skin is just ripe. It's like eating a ball of marshmallows in your mouth. If you carefully check it, the aroma of malt will really mix in your mouth.
The meat filling inside is also hot and exudes the aroma of meat, and the meat filling is full of soup. Because it is made of refined meat, it does not feel greasy.
Guo Zheng thinks that the most delicious part of steamed buns is the innermost layer of skin, which is close to the meat filling.
This layer of skin is close to the meat filling, and the originally fluffy skin has absorbed all the soup, making it more delicious. Moreover, the fat from the meat filling has also penetrated into that layer of skin, suddenly making this layer of skin become more delicious. It is more fragrant, and after it is filled with oil, the gaps in the skin are also filled to make this layer of skin very full and smooth.
Soon Guo Zheng finished his two buns.
Qinqin, Yi'er, Xiaoba, and Qianmo also finished eating. Although it wasn't much, it was enough to replenish them and support them in going home from the supermarket.
Continuing to visit the supermarket, now that we have arrived at the food processing area, let’s go shopping first, at least buy some semi-finished products, cooked food and the like. At the stall just now, Guo Zheng also bought a few white flour steamed buns, Qinqin, Italian Er, Xiaoba and Qianmo also bought a stick of corn each.
Behind this noodle stall is a stall with mixed vegetables and pickles. Even though they are just simple side dishes, the chefs can make them in many ways.
Not only are there sweet, salty, sour and spicy dishes, but there are also vegetarian dishes, meat dishes, meat and vegetable combinations, and even seafood has been added.
There was a chef at the counter, who seemed to be mixing pig ears. The chef took out a whole prepared pig ear and started to chop it all into strips with a knife.
Then put these cut pig ears into a clean basin, and then start adding seasonings to it. Sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, chili sauce, etc., Guo Zheng was dazzled by his skillful techniques. At first, he still remembered what he had put in, but then he stopped looking at it without paying attention. When Guo Zheng reacted, the master's There are already several more condiments in the basin.
After all the condiments were added, the chef began to stir with his pair of long chopsticks. After stirring for a while, he put on disposable gloves and began to grasp the condiments evenly with his hands to make the condiments more delicious.
Not only Guo Zheng, but also Xiaoba, Qinqin, Yier, and Qianmo were dumbfounded. It turned out that they thought this kind of mixed vegetables was very simple, just add something spicy, something sweet, whatever. , what I thought was that there is such a complicated craft behind ordinary small mixed vegetables. The seasonings in front of this mixed vegetable master must be at least dozens of kinds, because he does more than just make pig ears.
At this time, the vegetable mixer took out a pot of freshly made pig ears and put it there. At this time, the master noticed that the five of them were staring at him in front of the stall, so the master took out a small bag and caught some pigs. After that, he handed 5 toothpicks to Guo Zheng and the others and said, "Come on, come on, try my craftsmanship. This is mine and I'll give it to you for free."
Qian Mo took it and told the master, and the five of them each took a toothpick and started eating.
As soon as the pig ears entered the mouth, first there was a spicy taste, and then it was slightly sweet. Then the pig ears were smeared with sesame oil, and the master also sprinkled sesame seeds on them. Suddenly, the mouth was filled with aroma, and it was tight. Then the pig ears are crispy and delicious, making a "squeaking" sound when eaten.
Guo Zheng sighed while eating. Even though it is a snack that can be seen everywhere, you might think that the taste is just a few condiments put together. In fact, their craftsmanship is much more complicated. How many condiments are there? The combination of flavors and the balance of portions can create such a delicious taste.
Although Qinqin, Yier, Xiaoba and Qianmo hardly ate mixed vegetables, they all praised the pig ears when they ate them.
So the five people decided to buy it back to eat. This was not at all because the chef gave away some pig ears for free, but because the chef's craftsmanship was really good.
"Master, I want this pot of pig ears." Yi'er said.
"What?? Girl, you said you want them all??" The master still didn't believe it, because this pot of pig ears contained not only one pig ear, but 4 pig ears, which were cut and mixed. It will fall as high as a hill.
"Yes, I want them all, help me pretend." Yi'er continued.
Yi'er happened to have a serious face, but the words coming out of her mouth didn't sound like she was joking. As a result, the master packed them all for her in a bulging plastic bag, fearing that they would leak easily when she turned around, and the master had to I put it on, but I didn't even look at the price of the bag. I took it directly to the side to check out. After paying, I put the whole bag of mixed pig ears into my shopping cart.
Guo Zheng also bought some, but he was not satisfied and made them round at once. Guo Zheng bought some, chicken gizzards, chicken feet, chicken wings, and then some kelp shreds, yuba and the like. It was his favorite food, so he packed it up and went to check out.
