Different God of Cooking [Rebirth]

Gu Zhanpeng had just walked out of the factory, and the sun was already a bit dim at this time.In the past two years, many technologies of the military instrument factory have been lifted from the ban and can be transferred to civilian use. This has made their factory more and more profitable, but the corresponding work pressure has also increased.

The time to get off work is also later than other companies. If the wages paid by the instrument factory are not high enough, Gu Zhanpeng would have resigned a long time ago. Anyway, the south tide is so hot now, and several cities in the south are known as cities full of opportunities. .

Forget it, don't think about resigning, you will definitely be scolded to death by your family.Gu Zhanpeng walked towards the company's community without energy, and he didn't want to have dinner when he went back at this point, so he went to the company's cafeteria and settled the dinner casually as usual.

At this time, Gu Zhanpeng suddenly smelled the aroma of food, which was the smell of meat, and it was obviously marinated.Gu Zhanpeng is sure that there are several kinds of spices in it, such as tangerine peel, star anise, licorice, cumin and so on.In addition, he also smelled the aroma of chili, and his stomach writhed with emptiness, and then let out a loud cry.

This is the most direct response of the tired body to delicious food.

Gu Zhanpeng looked towards the place where the fragrance came from, and his appetite, which was still high just now, was suddenly suppressed a lot.Because there is only a simple cart and a few large iron plates with food in his sight range, without any store name, and the two bosses behind the stall have rough skin, stooped bodies, and old clothes Gu Zhanpeng did not believe that such a small stall could have any delicious food.

It must be because I am too tired today, and I want to eat whatever food smells, so I will feel hungry, so let's go back to the company cafeteria to eat.

Just when Gu Zhanpeng was about to turn around, a crisp voice said in front of him: "Uncle, try our secret braised vegetables, it's free."

It was only then that Gu Zhanpeng noticed that a little boy who was only ten years old came up to him holding a porcelain plate. He also had a dark and thin figure. It seemed that he should be the son of the two stall owners, and he even took the initiative to sell it. It seems quite sensible.

Although he was praising the little boy in his heart, Gu Zhanpeng had no intention of trying it. He declined and said, "Uncle is going back to have dinner, no need."

However, the little boy did not give up so easily, and continued: "Uncle, why don't you try it, it's free. Our braised vegetables are really delicious."

Perhaps it was because of hearing the word "free" or because the boy's voice was too insistent, Gu Zhanpeng finally changed his mind and prepared to have a taste.

After turning his attention to the porcelain plate, Gu Zhanpeng realized that the food on the plate was richer than he thought.There are dried tofu, kelp, lotus root, and yuba, all cut into small pieces and arranged in order. Although the ingredients on the left and right sides of the plate are the same, there is a layer of translucent red sauce on the vegetarian dish on the right, accompanied by a spicy and pungent aroma. The sauce is right.

There is also a small toothpick inserted into each piece of food, which is tilted in the same direction, so that the arrangement of the whole food has a neat and regular aesthetic.

This made Gu Zhanpeng's favorability that had just dropped back up by two points. More importantly, the color of these stewed vegetables was very pure, and there was no sign of softening at all. It should be certain that they were all fresh vegetarian dishes stewed today.

Gu Zhanpeng no longer hesitated to pick up a small piece of dried tofu from the left side of the plate and put it into his mouth.Dried tofu is a large category, and there are many classifications according to the different methods of preparation, pressing, and degree of ripening.

And this piece of stewed dried tofu is obviously made of smoked old dried tofu.Because of the smoke, there are small holes on the tofu that are invisible to the naked eye, and these holes absorb enough marinade during the marinating process, so that the whole tofu is delicious and juicy, and the aroma of marinated and smoked is skillfully integrated at this moment Together, there is a faint scent of oil.

Gu Zhanpeng did not imagine that the taste of stewed tofu is so rich.He didn't know that the oily aroma of stewed tofu came from pig's trotters, and in order to control the porous dried tofu from being too salty, the maker stewed it in the pan at the end.

The saliva secreted from Gu Zhanpeng's mouth proved his love for stewed tofu. He subconsciously wanted to try another sip of dried tofu, but he was embarrassed, after all, he refused just now with a look of disgust.

At this time, the black and thin little boy said again: "Uncle, you can try the dried tofu on the right again. It is coated with our secret chili sauce, which tastes even better. If you like meat dishes, there are also braised beans on the stall There are also two flavors for selling pig’s trotters.”

The little boy's politeness and understanding made Gu Zhanpeng even more uncomfortable. Why did he suspect that other people's food was not tasty just now?

Anyway, I have to go to the cafeteria to eat tonight. The salary is so high and there is no place to use it. Let's buy some braised vegetables and go back for snacks.Gu Zhanpeng made up his mind in an instant, and then said to the little boy: "No need, uncle, go to your parents' place to buy more and eat back."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards the simple stall that he hated so much just now, and these three people were naturally Zhao An's family.

"Boss, how do you sell your stewed vegetables?" Because Gu Zhanpeng had tasted dried tofu just now, and took another look at the color of the stewed vegetables in the iron basin, he was sure that there would be little difference in taste, so he asked the price directly.

"Pig trotters are [-] pounds per catty, and the price of raw materials is [-] yuan per catty." This price is the same as the market price. Zhao's mother also thought about whether the price should be lower since she just started selling braised vegetables, but Zhao An firmly opposed it.

It is easy to lower the price and difficult to increase the price. Even if you just increase the price to the same level as others or what it should be, you will lose a lot of customers, so Zhao An insists on selling at the market price.

As for the parents' concerns, Zhao An told them that if no guests came within half an hour, then they would consider selling at a lower price.But if the first customer appears, it will be sold at a uniform price later.

"This pig's trotter is too much." Gu Zhanpeng hesitated a little.

Seeing that the first customer wanted to buy pig's trotters, Zhao's mother was overjoyed, and immediately said: "We can also buy half and half of these pig's trotters."

Hearing this, Gu Zhanpeng said: "That's okay, give me half a pig's trotter, and then give me half a catty of vegetarian vegetables, the price is the same, right, more dried tofu."

"Does the guest need some hot sauce?" Zhao's mother looked joyful. Although Zhao's father on the side didn't change his expression, he cut off the pig's trotters and took out a scale to start weighing.The action was quite quick, showing the importance attached to this first deal.

"Then you put some chili sauce on me." Eating spicy food is a compulsory course in life for every S province, and Gu Zhanpeng is no exception.

"Is it okay to put pig's trotters and vegetarian dishes together?"

"OK, no problem."

Zhao's mother took the weighed pig's trotters and vegetables from her husband, put them into a prepared iron basin, and then took a large chopsticks of vegetables from the vegetable basin next to her with long chopsticks and said: "We just started business today, I'll give you a little more, if you think it's delicious, come back next time."

Zhao's mother added at least one or two extra vegetarian dishes, which can be regarded as quite sincere.Gu Zhanpeng also responded with a smile: "OK."

Then Zhao's mother began to add chili sauce to the pot, and the red chili oil wrapped the pig's trotters and various vegetarian dishes, making the stewed vegetables more bright in color.Chili was originally a spice, and the slightly pungent smell made Gu Zhanpeng salivate.

"It's three dollars and five."

Gu Zhanpeng handed the money to Zhao's mother, and then took a bag full of stewed vegetables. Feeling that his stomach was even hungrier, he turned around and walked quickly towards the community. He felt that he could eat three bowls of rice tonight.

After Mother Zhao took the money, she was a little excited and wanted to smooth out every wrinkle on the money before putting it in her pocket.

"Mom..." However, Zhao An on the side couldn't stand it at this time. Although the current conditions cannot guarantee that the food is absolutely clean, he can't touch the banknotes repeatedly like this.Once bacteria and viruses attach to food, it is likely to bring disease, which Zhao An, who is a bit of a perfectionist, cannot accept.

After hearing Zhao An's words, Zhao's mother also realized that her son had repeatedly told her about this before coming today.To keep food safe and keep away from banknotes, don't you forget it as soon as you get excited.Zhao's mother immediately put the money in her arms, and was going to go back to pack it at night.

Seeing his mother's actions, Zhao An was also much happier.He let out a breath, then turned around and started looking for another customer.

On the first day of opening, don't expect customers to come and try it, especially for such a simple stall.

Zhao An is also very particular about choosing guests. Those with tired faces mean they don’t want to cook by themselves, those with well-dressed clothes are more inclined to try fresh food and have high consumption levels, and those who are attracted by food memories often have little resistance to delicious food... …

In addition, Zhao An tried his best to use his innocent and harmless face to attract customers, and many guests agreed to Zhao An's invitation to taste.

What they thought at the time was "if it doesn't taste good, just refuse it", but when the fragrant and rich stewed vegetables entered the mouth, they all changed their minds: tonight they will eat the stewed vegetables!

"I want half a pig's trotter.", "I want half a catty of stewed lotus root, and some bean curd sticks.", "Is there no dried tofu, then I want more seaweed."...

In this way, under the combined effect of Zhao An's hard work and the deliciousness of Zhao's mother's stewed vegetables, five pig's trotters and nearly ten catties of ingredients were sold out in less than an hour, which is unimaginable in the most crowded stall in the vegetable market things.

Of course, the price is that Zhao An's hands that live on the porcelain plate are already sore, and the smile on his face is almost frozen, but when Zhao An sees the smiles on his parents' faces, Zhao An feels that no matter how hard he is, it is worth it. , not to mention his hard work is nothing compared to his parents.

"An'an, go home for dinner." Since the stewed vegetables have been sold out, let's go home quickly, Mother Zhao yelled at Zhao An.

"coming!"

The three of them took advantage of the afterglow of the sun and walked home.
