Food, drink and merrymaking in another world

A week after the black tofu feast, Linda's third pickled salted bird eggs were finally ready to eat.

The first pickled bird egg was a complete failure. At that time, Linda cooked the pickled bird egg and cut it to eat. It turned out that the egg white was only a little bit salty, and the egg yolk did not have the slightest oil oozing out, and it was better than no pickled egg. When the egg yolk is boiled, it will be drier.The second time he adjusted the seasoning ratio and marinating time, the result was only slightly better than the first pickled egg. Can find an egg yolk with a little bit of oil.After these two times, Linda summed up the failure experience. He thought it was probably because the egg shells here are thicker, and the seasonings are not easy to enter the egg yolk, so the marinating time should be adjusted accordingly.This can be seen from the fact that the taste is better the second time than the first time. It took a month to marinate for the first time, and it took almost two months for the second time to marinate, which is really better.So for the third time, Linda deliberately increased the amount of seasoning, and lengthened the time accordingly.

Because of the first failure, Linda has learned how to behave. Not all the things here are the same as on the earth. Although there is no shortage of money, food cannot be wasted, so it is better to be cautious about the ingredients that have not been seen or cooked.The second and this time pickling used very few bird eggs, just because I was afraid of failing again.For the first time, there were too many pickled eggs. If I hadn’t opened a shop, I wouldn’t be able to consume them for two months with just a few people in my family.

After taking the egg pickled for the third time to the kitchen, she found a pot and boiled it in it. Judging from the color of the egg, it seemed to be the case. Linda felt a little confident.Now is the time when the store is not very busy, Barry came over curiously to watch him cook eggs.Barry was lucky enough to have the second failed pickled egg, so he also had great expectations for this pickled egg.

Take out the boiled egg, put it in cold water, and when it is cold, take it out and smash the shell and peel it off. When the egg white is peeled off to reveal the egg yolk, a streak of butter flows down first, and the egg yolk is red in color. It looks rusty, and there is a fragrance.The tip of Linda's tongue secreted saliva unconsciously. He peeled off the egg yolk and put it in his mouth.Barry on the side watched, with eager eyes in his eyes, and swallowed subconsciously.

Linda nodded and said, "Well, it worked, try it." He handed the egg to Barry, who took it carefully, broke off a piece of egg yolk and tasted it, and stretched out his hand involuntarily to make a good gesture.

Because of the first failure, Linda didn't make five-spice salted eggs in the next two times, so today's batch is all ordinary salted eggs.He cut the remaining eggs in half with a knife, and was relieved to find that butter came out of each.He told Barry how to make it for the third time, and asked him to marinate some more.

I went to the storage room to get a few more salted eggs, boiled them as usual, let them cool and cut them open. Linda took out the egg whites and egg yolks and put them in two containers.Now that the salted egg is a success, it is natural to use it as a dish, he has been thinking about it for a long time.

Linda walked to a corner of the kitchen, where the vegetables and meat just bought at the market this morning were piled up.It has to be said that since Garr came, the management of Toway City has become better and better, and merchants have become more and more willing to come to the city to trade. Now the market can already buy a lot of other places that Toway City did not have before. Specialty vegetables, such as pumpkin, winter melon, taro, yam and lotus root.However, probably because of the freshness, these dishes are more expensive than other dishes, but it does not hinder people's enthusiasm for them. After all, the taste of these things is really good, especially things like taro and pumpkin. Tastes good and very filling.

He dug out pumpkins, yams, taro, broccoli, peppers, and fresh bird eggs from the pile of vegetables, and took a piece of fresh Pingpenhowling meat. He asked Barry and Nazgray to help him, and it took him several hours. Finally, I made a big table of salted egg dishes: steamed meat pie with salted egg yolk, broccoli mixed with salted egg, taro ball with salted egg yolk, baked egg custard with salted egg yolk, meat roll with salted egg yolk, fried pumpkin with salted egg yolk, fried banana roll with salted egg yolk, chili Scrambled salted eggs, meringue rolls.Although you can't eat too much salted eggs, it's okay to come here once in a while.

Linda went back to the house and took a shower, changed out of the clothes that smelled of oily smoke, and then came out to the store.Noon is the busy time in the store, so the lunch at home is usually around 2 pm. At this time, there are almost only one or two customers in the store, and the staff on duty can also spare time to eat.

At this point today, there was no one in the store, and the dining table was placed on the table closest to the kitchen door. A few young men put together the table and chairs, and it was enough to sit down.The salted eggs were really popular, and the boys devoured them hungrily, for fear that if they were too slow, the food would be gone.In fact, Linda made a large enough portion, even if everyone was free to eat it, it would be enough.

Everyone was eating happily when they saw two people dressed as mercenaries walking in.The man walking in front sniffed and said, "Boss, we want to eat, bring us some good dishes." They sat down at the table closest to Linda and the others, staring at the dishes on their table, He salivated and swallowed his saliva.

Andy put down his bowls and plates, stood up and walked over and said, "Guest, we are a snack bar here, we only sell snacks, now we have malatang, spring rolls, meat pies and mushroom bird broth, among which spring rolls have red bean paste and vegetable fillings , I don’t know what you want?”

After listening, the man pointed to the table where the shop assistants ate and said, "Are there any of those? I want to eat that." Andy shook his head and said, "I'm very sorry, that's not for sale, please understand."

The man was a little disappointed, but he held back what he wanted to say. He said, "Then bring some of all the food in your store." Andy nodded, "Please wait a moment." Then he quickly walked into the kitchen to serve the dishes.

The man and his companion were muttering something in a low voice, and looked this way while talking, Linda looked up curiously, just in time to meet the man's gaze, the man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.Linda nodded his head at him as a greeting, and continued to eat with his head down, but he didn't notice that Quez on the side gave the two men a hard look. The two shrank their necks, but smiled shamelessly. He looked away at the food on the table, swallowing while watching.

After a while, Andy brought the food to the table. The two looked at the food in front of them, and then at the food Linda and the others ate, feeling a little frustrated.Andy returned to his place, picked up the bowl and picked up the chopsticks to continue eating. Nazgray picked up a chopstick and put the steamed meat pie with egg yolk into Linda's bowl, signaling him to eat more. Ruby whispered to Durotan while eating Saying something, laughing from time to time.As if doing it on purpose, Quez took a big mouthful of pumpkin with egg yolk, chewed and praised loudly: "Eloise, your craftsmanship is getting better and better. This fried pumpkin with salted egg yolk is really delicious. Waxy, it tastes really good."

Although Linda was a little surprised, she still smiled and said nothing.You must know that Quez has never been like this, what happened today, it's not like him usually.When several shop assistants heard what Quez said, they all nodded and said: "Yes, yes, the dishes on the table today are really delicious, especially the salted egg yolk, which tastes really good. It's great to be a shop assistant here!" Da Xiaoxiao: "Eat more if you like it, but you can't eat more of this kind of salted eggs after today. Eating too much is not good for your health." Everyone nodded and continued to wolf down.

The two men couldn't sit still, and the man who started talking finally couldn't help standing up and said: "Boss, can you sell me such vegetables? It doesn't matter if you have leftovers now! It smells really good. It smells so good!" Andy and the others froze for a moment, then turned to look at Linda.

Linda was also taken aback, looked up at them, and saw that the eyes of the two were turning back and forth on the food on his table, he understood, he stood up and said: "Thank you for your appreciation of my craftsmanship, but I am For the family members, there may not be enough portions for you. But I can share some with you, and it may not meet your expectations, so please use it if you don’t mind.” He took a plate and looked at it. Some dishes were given to the two of them, and the two of them were overjoyed for a long time, and thanked them repeatedly when they took the dishes.

Returning to her seat and sitting down, Linda sighed and continued to eat.Nazgray was a little bit aggrieved, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you feeding them, and you don't know them?" Seeing that everyone was listening, Linda smiled and said, "I see those two are strong and muscular. It can be seen that it is not a good thing. There are not many people in our store who can fight. If we are the ones who suffer, it is better to be a favor. Anyway, the amount of food today is enough. It doesn’t matter to give them some, and they have to charge money Isn't it?" Everyone nodded, stopped talking, finished the meal quickly, and cleaned up the table and chairs.

Nazgray helped Linda put away the bowl, let him go back to the room to rest, and quietly hid aside, when Quez approached, he pulled him to the corner of the yard and asked, "You know those two, right? I don't care how you let them come to the store to find fault, but if it endangers this family, don't blame me for being rude." After speaking, he raised his fist and shook it.

Quez opened his fist and said expressionlessly: "I don't need you to tell me. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. Anyway, I have lived here for so long, how can I have no feelings at all. He showed a helpless expression: "I really didn't call these two guys, I don't know why they came suddenly, I will send them away in a while." Nazgray nodded: "Whatever you want, don't be in the store Just make trouble here." After speaking, he turned and went back to the house to find Linda.

Quez watched him go away, frowned, quietly walked to the back of the store and looked inside, saw that the two were still eating and drinking, thought for a while, and quietly went out through the side door.

The man who stood up and demanded to eat the food from Linda’s table was called Da Rui, and the other man was called Nian, who ate the dishes made of salted egg yolks that he scoured. Da Rui smiled and said, “Look, I just said, Someone who can take our leader in must have a good heart." Nian curled his lips and said, "Don't be stupid, didn't you hear what the man said just now, if it weren't for the two of us looking more threatening, he wouldn't have called us. Order some food to get rid of disasters, I am not a fool, anyone who can open a shop is smart." Da Rui forked a piece of meat pie and put it in his mouth, chewing and said vaguely: "It's fine, it's just for us to eat Oh, this taste is really good, you said that the boss eats these every day, how happy it is! If we can also eat such delicious food every day, let me do whatever I want!"

Nian glared at him: "Come on, do you think people with your image are willing to give you more? The ones I gave you just now are not bad." After speaking, he picked up a piece of red bean paste spring roll and chewed it in his mouth, showing a satisfied look. Expression: "But don't tell me, the food in this store is really delicious, better than the big restaurants in Wangcheng." Darui laughed and said: "So, our boss is really happy. Oh, why don't we go back Let me tell you, how about letting us eat here often?" Nian said: "Don't think about good things, it's not easy to come here today, so eat more now, maybe you won't be able to eat it next time." Darui Hearing this, he couldn't help being dejected for a while, and then he thought of something again. He proudly forked the meatloaf and stuffed it into his mouth: "Then let's fight it out today! Dude!" His voice suddenly increased, and he stretched out his hand to call the clerk: "Another plate of spring rolls And two plates of patties!"

The two stopped talking until their stomachs bulged and all the food on the table was wiped away.After belching loudly, Darry stood up and said, "Man, pay the bill!" Andy hurried over and caught the two gold coins he threw over: "Guest, this is a bit too much money."

"I'll reward you if you have too much food. Let's take it as compensation for stealing your food today!" Nian said apologetically, and then pulled Darui out.Andy shrugged, handed the money over to the counter, and came back to clear the dishes.

The two were walking towards the residence, chatting while walking, and when they turned a corner, they saw a figure flashing, the two of them subconsciously held the knife beside them, and shouted: "Who?!" Said: "Uh... boss..."

Quez looked at the two of them and motioned to talk in the alley next to them. When the three of them walked in, Quez said coldly, "Hmph, I want to eat if you're cheeky. Fortunately, no one knows that I know you, otherwise you'll lose all face." Empty!"

The two listened to the training with drooping faces and dejected heads. Hearing this, Da Rui raised his head and smiled and said, "Boss... the things on your table smell delicious, I can't help it, hehe..."

"Okay," Quez interrupted him, his face suddenly changed, and he said in a solemn voice: "What, things have changed?" Darry and Nian also put away their smiles, glanced at each other, and whispered : "Yes, we are here to tell you today..."

The afternoon sun was shining brightly, and the entrance of the alley was covered by the shadow of a house on one side. Pedestrians passed by in a hurry, but no one noticed it.
