Different God of Cooking [Rebirth]

All kinds of cold dishes are placed on the aluminum trolley, including various brines and some vegetarian dishes boiled in salt water. People in S Province are fond of spicy food, and most of the cold dishes will be processed again.

"What do you want to buy?" The owner of the cold vegetable shop looked enthusiastically at the father and son in front of him.

Zhao's father took Zhao An to find a store with a lot of customers, and said to Zhao An: "What do you want to buy, tell Dad."

Zhao An quickly gave his answer: "I want pig's trotters."

Father Zhao pointed to the dark-colored braised pig's trotters and said to the shopkeeper, "How much is this braised pig's trotter per catty?"

"Three yuan a catty."

Hearing this price, Father Zhao frowned. The food stamp system in the market has not been completely abolished. Foods such as rice and pork still need to be purchased with food stamps.

The price of pork trotters is less than two yuan. Even if you don’t need meat tickets, you can go directly to the market to buy premium pork trotters for just over two yuan.This stewed pig's trotter is actually sold directly for three yuan a catty, and Father Zhao is really distressed.

Zhao An has been observing his father's expression, and immediately noticed the obvious distress on his father's face.But Zhao An would never change his decision at this time. Only by letting his father realize that doing business can make money, and he can make a lot of money, can he change his mind.

Father Zhao thought of what he promised Zhao An, so he said to the boss: "Give me two taels, forget it, it's still four taels." His son is growing up, so he should eat more meat.As for money, find a way to save yourself.

Zhao An immediately said from the side: "Four taels is too much, just two taels will be fine!"

Father Zhao smiled after hearing this, and said, "Why, An An still knows what is two taels and what is four taels?"

"Of course, I've gone to school with the textbooks. It's really too much for four taels. We can't finish it at night, and it won't be good tomorrow." Zhao An deliberately put on a serious look, wanting his father to spend less money.This is Zhao An's contradictory heart.

"Okay, okay, listen to my son. Boss, just two taels."

The owner of the cold vegetable shop is not angry either. Life is getting better these days, but every family is eager to break a dime into [-] cents. He often encounters more frugal customers. No dissatisfaction.Anyway, his cold vegetable shop has no shortage of customers.

Soon Erliang pig's trotters were cut off. After asking Zhao's father, the boss put a few pieces of pig's trotters into the basin, added various seasonings and stirred.

Sesame oil, chili, soy sauce, sugar, pepper powder, ginger and garlic, cooking wine...these are all commonly used condiments in S Province, but how to use different ingredients to create a taste that customers like is the unspoken tradition of each store. secret.

Soon Father Zhao returned home with a small bag of pig's trotters in his left hand and Zhao An's little hand in his right.Zhao's mother had already prepared all the meals, and the three sat directly at the dining table.

"An'an, come and eat the pig's trotters, have you been waiting for a long time?" Father Zhao put a piece of pig's trotters into Zhao An's bowl.

The brown braised pig's trotters are covered with red chili oil, a little sesame and green onion, and paired with white rice in a bowl, it looks really appetizing.

Zhao An didn't rush to speak, but picked a piece of braised pig's trotter for each of his parents, put it in their bowls, and said, "Mom and Dad, you eat too."

Erliang's pig's trotters didn't have a few pieces in the first place, if Zhao An didn't pick them up for his parents, they would definitely not eat any of them later, and today's goal would not be achieved.

Looking at the pig's trotters in his bowl, the corners of Zhao's father and Zhao's mother's mouth turned up again. His son was too filial.

"Okay, let's eat together, eat together." Father Zhao picked up the pig's trotter and put it in his mouth.

Zhao An has been paying attention to the expressions of his parents. This is the first time for them to buy finished dishes outside. To be honest, they have some expectations in their hearts.

But when the two of them really bit off the pig's trotter, the expressions on their faces changed obviously, first they were puzzled, and then they were dissatisfied.

The trotters are braised, but there is obviously a problem with the marinade.The salty taste is too heavy, the fragrance is not enough, and the bitterness of the braised spices is very obvious.After biting off the pork skin, the lean meat under the pig skin was not tasty enough. The attractive brown color of the marinade did not soak into the lean meat at all, and the meat was very woody.

From the perspective of braised pig's trotters alone, this marinating has been a failure.

And the special seasoning of this cold dish is not as delicious as expected. First of all, the pepper is not spicy enough. Although the boss added a lot of pepper, it does not have the kind of stimulating spicy taste that people in S Province like. Too much will interfere with the taste of the trotters.

The reason why the chili is not spicy enough is very simple. The chili oil has been left for too long, and it does not have the spiciness and aroma when the chili oil is just poured out.

As for the taste of other condiments, it was even weaker. Generally speaking, the cold braised pig's trotters did not meet Zhao's father and Zhao's mother's expectations at all.

But out of respect for the city people in their hearts, they wondered at the first moment whether they had different tastes from the city people and could not understand their definition of food.

At this time, Zhao An also put down his chopsticks, and then said with a disappointed face: "This pig's trotter is far worse than the one made by my mother, and it still sells for three yuan a catty."

The time to speak was just right, which was naturally planned by Zhao An long ago.

Sure enough, Zhao's mother showed a surprised expression: "This braised pig's trotter is three yuan a catty?"

Father Zhao nodded and did not hide anything.

Zhao An naturally wouldn't miss this fact, and said coquettishly, "Mom, why don't you sell stewed vegetables too. The stewed vegetables you make are definitely better than those sold by these bosses."

Zhao's mother's face clearly showed a heartbeat expression, three yuan a catty, if she can sell two catties a day, she can earn 20 yuan a month, which is not less than what she earns from working on the construction site.

But can the stewed vegetables I cook really sell, or is it just that my husband and son are just used to eating their own dishes every day?

In the end, Zhao's mother still said: "That's because you two are used to eating my dishes, and other people in the city will definitely not like them."

Even though Zhao An could see that his mother had already thought about it, Zhao's mother still didn't let go in the end.As expected, the change in concept cannot be accomplished overnight, and it is necessary to think of another way.

Zhao An didn't continue talking about it, but continued to eat.But this time, he gave the remaining two pig's trotters to his parents on the grounds that he didn't like the taste of braised pig's trotters.

Although the taste is very ordinary, the fat and protein contained in pig's trotters are still the most nourishing food for parents who are engaged in physical activity.

Mother Zhao smiled and said, "Next time I will make pig's trotters for you to eat."

At night, after Zhao An fell asleep, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother lay on the bed and whispered.

"Why don't you try?" Father Zhao persuaded his wife in a low voice.

"You two father and son, don't give me the ecstasy soup, how can I be good at my craftsmanship." Mother Zhao's voice was very low, afraid of waking her son.

"We both think that the pig's trotters you make are much tastier than the ones you sell."

"Now our family doesn't have any money at all, forget it." Mother Zhao said a very realistic question.

"Hey, let's wait a little longer." Father Zhao could only sigh helplessly.

Zhao An began to think about how to get his parents to take this step. At this time, Ji Jiashu came to Zhao An. His intention of coming was to let Zhao An teach him how to play the piano. As for the location, it was settled naturally. home.

Zhao An was also a little surprised, which meant that Ji Jiashu had a piano in his home.It is not easy to have a piano worth thousands of yuan at home these days, and Ji Jiashu's family background cannot be described simply by being rich.

Zhao An didn't feel any jealousy, and readily agreed.

When Zhao An told his parents that he was going to play at a friend's house on Saturday, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother were very happy.It never occurred to me that my son had already met such a good friend at school and would invite his son to play at home.

They very much hope that Zhao An can integrate into the city life, so naturally they will not have any dissatisfaction.

Saturday, school day off.

Zhao An still came to the school, because he couldn't find Ji Jiashu's home, the two chose to meet at the school.

"Zhao An!"

Ji Jiashu's crisp voice suddenly appeared, and it was standard to hear his voice before seeing him.Then a delicate little boy in a small white shirt suddenly rushed over from the side street and ran towards Zhao An, like a hospitable puppy.

Ji Jiashu ran too fast, and when he came to Zhao An, he bumped into Zhao An hard, almost knocking Zhao An down.

"Be careful." Zhao An supported Ji Jiashu in his arms. This child is usually so polite and well-behaved, why is he so frizzy at this time?

"Well, I'm excited. This is the first time I've invited people to my house." Ji Jiashu didn't hide his joy at all.

Before Zhao An could reply, Ji Jiashu said, "I got a double percentile in the test this time, and then I told my parents that I wanted to bring my friends home to play, and they both agreed. That's great. Every time I take an exam in the future, I can ask you to come to my house to play."

Ji Jiashu didn't doubt whether he could get a full score in the exam at all, because he had never had a test with a full score since he was a child.

"By the way, Zhao An, how much did you score in this exam?"

"Just like you."

"I knew that if you played that so well, it must be very good." Ji Jiashu had such a smile on his face.

"Okay, let's go to your house, the sun is too big."

In Rongcheng in early October, the sun was still scorching.

"Yeah, follow me."

Ji Jiashu immediately took Zhao An's hand and walked towards his home.Yes, Ji Jiashu naturally took Zhao An's hand.

Zhao An was also taken aback for a moment, do we need to hold hands to lead the way?He is not used to being so close to others, this is a habit he had in his previous life, and he subconsciously wants to break free.

It's just that Zhao An looked at Ji Jiashu's smile, and had no doubt that if he broke free from his hand, Ji Jiashu would definitely show a sad expression.

Thinking of this, Zhao An gave up this plan and let Ji Jiashu walk forward with his own hands.

The warm, soft little hands seem to feel good too?
