Starting from winning the food competition

Chapter 18
Lin Beiyang rented a house outside and did not live in a hotel dormitory.

After completing the handover procedures and greeting several well-connected masters, I formally left the hotel.

After resting at home for a day, on the third day, Lin Beiyang embarked on the journey home.

His home is in Dongjiang City, about [-] kilometers east of Jincheng City.

About 2 and a half hours by car.

It was 3:[-] PM when I got home.

When I got home, neither of my parents was there.

Today is Friday, both of them have to go to work, and it is not time to get off work.

I sent a message in the group of four, saying that I am back.

It was a temporary decision to go home, and it was not thought out in advance, so the family didn't know it yet, and they didn't know it until they said it.

Lin Beiyang has a younger sister who is four years younger.

I am a sophomore this year, and it is not time for vacation, so I am not at home.

Sure enough, the message was sent out, and there was a reply soon.

Mother Wu Qing was the first to reply, "Son, aren't you at work? Why did you come back suddenly?"

Then his father Lin Zhigang said: "Yes, son, why are you back all of a sudden?"

Lin Beiyang replied with a smile: "Dad, Mom, tell me slowly when you come back for dinner at night, I will cook two dishes then."

"Okay, son, you are a chef in a five-star hotel in the provincial capital. The food must be delicious. Dad will buy a bottle of good wine tonight and taste it."

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw my mother getting angry in the group.

"@农农, yes, then the son came back to cook as an excuse, do you want to drink?"

"Don't dare, my wife, I promise it's just this time, can't you have a drink tonight under such a situation?"

Seeing this, Lin Beiyang couldn't help laughing at home.

In this family, Wu Qing is a unique existence.

The three people with the same surname were all managed by her alone.

About when Lin Beiyang was about ten years old, Lin Zhigang went out to drink once, and ended up drinking in the hospital.

Although it wasn't a big problem, after this time, he was restricted from drinking alcohol.

Originally, besides not drinking alcohol for breakfast, whether it was lunch or dinner, at least two taels of liquor started.

During the first month after discharge from the hospital, there was no outright prohibition of alcohol consumption.

Instead, the amount of alcohol for each meal ranges from two taels, three taels or half a catty, to a maximum of one tael.

After another period of time, it was reduced to only one or two drinks at noon.

In the back, anyway, you can't drink a meal when you are at home, unless there is a business entertainment, it is allowed.

Normally, there is no chance to drink tonight, and there is no liquor at home.

Lin Beiyang's remarks happened to be an excuse.

"You can drink it, but you must control the amount."

Seeing this sentence, Lin Beiyang knew that he had guessed his father, and he was probably giggling on the screen at the moment.

Be aware that there are not many opportunities at home.

In addition to his job, there is also very little time for socializing and drinking.

How could it be possible to miss a good opportunity tonight.

"No problem, please rest assured, my wife, I will definitely control the amount of drinking."

After finishing speaking, Lin Beiyang clicked again and said, "Son, you can fry two dishes. Drink tonight. Dad will buy some lo-mei later. Tonight should be very suitable."

"Okay, Dad."

After finishing the report in the group, I checked the time and found that it was already 05:30.

Lin Beiyang entered the kitchen with the raw materials bought at the vegetable market.

He is going to cook two dishes tonight, naturally fish-flavored shredded pork and mapo tofu.

Avoid not having raw materials for these two dishes at home, and pass by the vegetable market when you come back to buy enough.

One of the two got off work at 6:6 sharp, and the other got off work at [-]:[-].

After Lin Zhigang got off work at 6 o'clock, he would not go home directly, but first drove to the downstairs where Wu Qing went to work and waited, and went home together after get off work.

I already have a car, and the off-duty time is very close, so I naturally want to go home together.

Prepare all the ingredients for the two dishes, and wait for the two of them to go downstairs to start cooking. It is probably just right when they go home.

Send them a message and wait quietly.

Today is Friday, and it is estimated that there will be traffic jams, so it is difficult to judge based on the time.

Near seven o'clock, Lin Beiyang, who received a message from Lin Zhigang, started cooking.

Compared with fish-flavored shredded pork, the cooking time of mapo tofu will be slightly shorter, so choose to cook the latter dish first.

When the fish-flavored shredded pork was ready, Xu Beiyang put it aside.

It is summer now, and the temperature in Dongjiang City hovers around 35 degrees, even if it is close to seven o'clock, it is very hot.

Especially when cooking, it feels like there will be sweat, so naturally there is no need to worry about the dishes getting cold too quickly.

The mapo tofu is half done, and the sound of the door opening is heard.

"son."

"Mom and Dad, you are back, go clean up and wash your hands first, my last dish will be ready soon."

"Okay, I can't wait to taste your dishes."

The meal was served, and the three of them sat down around the table one by one.

Before eating, my mother Wu Qing asked curiously again: "Son, why did you come back suddenly without telling me in advance?"

Lin Beiyang knew that they would ask questions, and replied with a smile: "Mom, I have something to do when I come back. Let's have dinner first, and we will talk about it while eating later."

Lin Zhigang added: "Let's eat first, and talk about things slowly."

"Dad, Mom, here are two special dishes I made for you tonight. They are fish-flavored pork shreds and mapo tofu. Let's try the fish-flavored pork shreds first."

Hearing his words, the two did not refuse.

"Son, your mother and I don't have any disagreements. We can eat whatever you say. Although they are two very common dishes, Dad believes that we can taste the same taste."

Lin Beiyang couldn't help smiling.

You are right, even though it is a simple two dishes, you can definitely taste a different taste.

After all, the cooking techniques of these two dishes have been systematically improved.

And the best five-star dishes.

Simple dishes are not simple tastes.

It is estimated that they will be very surprised after tasting it.

Although I won the championship of the classic Sichuan food competition with these two dishes, my family didn't know about it.

One is that I didn't tell them.

If you tell your parents, don't think they will definitely come to watch the game.

It is possible to go to watch the game, but it is not necessary to come all the way.

After careful consideration, I did not tell my family.

The second is that only local chefs from Jincheng participated in the competition, and only a few chefs came from surrounding cities. There was not much publicity in the early stage, and they were also publicized locally after the end. The family members were also unclear.

So I had no idea that I had won the championship.

Even professional food judges will be full of praise for these two dishes, and everyone else basically has the same reaction.

"Dad, Mom, you can try it later, it will definitely surprise you."

"it is good."
