Chapter 30 Cooking a Big Dinner
"Get up!" Qiu Yi kicked Lu Wenjing, who was still lying on the ground, twice, and went to the bathroom by herself.
When staying in a hotel, you have to get up early to get some fresh air, and it's best not to let anyone know, otherwise it will give people the impression that the food hygiene is not up to par.
After a while, the sound of water came from inside, and Lu Wenjing sat up lazily, scratching her hair and sitting on the sofa, opening her book to read today's appointment.
The store has adopted a reservation system, and it was very full today.
The phone rang twice. She glanced at it and shouted to the bathroom: "Should we accept college students?"
Qiu Yi opened the door and came out with a toothbrush in her mouth, asking vaguely: "What college student?"
"Do you teach college students how to make snacks? Someone is asking me."
"College Students......"
Qiu Yi sat down and hesitated. In what Lin Shuang said last time, he specifically emphasized primary and secondary school students, because even if these people learned, they would not be able to become competitors in a short time.
It's hard to say for college students.
Of course these people also come here for free teaching.
"We can't even arrange it in the time we have now." Qiu Yi muttered, looking at Lu Wenjing, "You take two and I take two. The maximum is four in an hour."
With the same income, why teach college students?
As people grow up, they have more thoughts. Qiu Yi has just graduated from college and knows that situation.
"You can help me in the store after I learned the lesson," Lu Wenjing said.
"I have to pay social security to help." Qiu Yi looked worried, "How can I have time to go through the formalities?"
Lu Wenjing sighed and got up to wash up.
Qiu Yi opened the curtains and looked towards the road. It was already dawn, but there were not many people. Those who got up early to go to work were in a hurry. She had basically given up on these customers.
I didn't see Lin Shuang, and it felt like I was back in middle school, hoping to see the boy I admired passing by the window.
…
It smells so good!
Lin Shuang is frying peanuts.
Now is the time when peanuts are on the market. Early this morning, before dawn, several out-of-town vendors came to the gate of the community to sell Wuling Changsheng Fruit.
The stall owner's family of four didn't even eat breakfast before peeling the shells with bare hands. The shelled ones cost six yuan per catty, and the peeled ones cost ten yuan per catty.
Others bought the shelled ones, so Lin Shuang wrapped the peeled ones into a round shape and weighed them out to be fifteen kilograms.
When I got home, I applied to Xiao Wai for a task of refining the Nine-Nine Fortune Pills. During this period, everything else was fine, except that I was often craving for the aroma of the neighbors cooking. I must return it today.
First, I took inventory of the kitchen supplies left behind by the landlord. There were quite a lot of them, including a full set of pots, pans, knives, forks and shovels, both Chinese and Western.
There are also a bunch of fresh-keeping containers, which look like they should be gifts.
After cleaning these things, Lin Shuang went to take a bath himself.
Take a basin of tap water, wash the longevity fruit, soak it in the water, do one hundred push-ups, take it out and drain it.
After standing upside down for 20 minutes, take a Joyoung Black Iron non-stick pan, pour in half a bucket of Lubinghua pressed peanut oil, and turn on low heat.
After a group of yoga, test the temperature of the oil with your hands. If the yang energy is too high, turn off the heat and let it cool. Pour in the longevity fruit, stir it 6636 times with the Beimingqingzhu shovel, and then turn on the low heat.
Take a shower again.
When you see that the raw pills are panting slightly in the oil pan, stir them ninety-nine and eighty-one times with a Beimingqingzhu spatula, turn off the heat, and the pill will be ready.
Take out all the raw balls, drain the oil, sprinkle in salt and white wine, shake in the wind three times, put it outside the window to cool, and it's ready.
Then he made the next pot, and he prepared different flavors for each pot.
Fifteen pounds of peanuts came out in five varieties and were packed into fresh-keeping boxes. They tasted particularly delicious when they rested.
For this task, you will get two thousand yuan and a reward that will improve your cooking skills by 100%.
Lin Shuang knew how good his cooking skills were, that is, he could make some dishes casually and eat them, but he couldn't guarantee the level of his cooking skills.
Looking at the oil left in the pot, Lin Shuang asked Xiao Wai for a task. He was going to prepare some other dishes, otherwise he would not know what to do with the pot of oil.
[Task: Cook a sumptuous meal with your own hands, with a minimum guarantee of 500 yuan, and additional rewards]
Are you only given five hundred for a sumptuous meal?
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Shuang picked up his cell phone, took two woven bags, and went out to the market to buy a big fish. Fish is relatively cheap now, and one fish can be used to make many dishes.
In addition, he had to buy something else, otherwise he wouldn't be able to cook a big meal.
"There are sixteen groups of children today, three will be coming in a moment,..." Qiu Yi said and found that Lu Wenjing was distracted.
"Look at that person!" Lu Wenjing pointed out the window, "Is it that Lin Shuang?"
Qiu Yi raised her head and looked at the glass, only to see her back, which looked like she was walking very fast and crossing the road in front.
"Are you going to work? What you are holding seems to be a woven bag." Lu Wenjing asked in confusion. Judging from Qiu Yi's description, Lin Shuang may be the invisible rich second generation.
Qiu Yi gritted her teeth, picked up her cell phone and made the call.
"Hello..."
"Lin Shuang?"
"It's me, you're Qiu Yi?"
"Um... that... uh..."
Qiu Yi breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't expect that Lin Shuang could hear her own voice. She was thinking about what to say quickly: "I just saw you walking past my store...are you going to work?"
"Okay, let's go buy groceries." Lin Shuang's chuckle came from the other end of the phone.
Lu Wenjing gestured to Qiu Yi to open up.
Qiu Yi looked at her and clicked.
"Then come back when you are free..." Qiu Yi's throat was dry, "I still have something to ask you."
I didn't feel embarrassed to say more, so I said a few words and put it down, and said to Lu Wenjing: "I thought you were going to say something."
"I didn't say anything, you didn't ask him for a woven bag..."
"He went to buy groceries"
"Buying groceries? Does he still buy groceries?"
"What's wrong, why do you think he can't buy groceries?" Qiu Yi asked strangely.
"We have to buy some too. Yesterday, some children asked if they could learn to make pizza."
"Um,......"
Life here in Taohu Community is quite convenient. It is only fifty meters away from the market. The market is not big, but the smell is not good, but since there are no live poultry, you can still go shopping.
Since this is a task, it cannot be that simple. To understand vegetable prices is to understand the laws of social operation.
Observation and thinking go hand in hand, looking first before buying, and patiently watching others and bargaining with the stall owner.
He first bought some vegetarian dishes, including mushrooms, green peppers, bamboo shoots, tofu, broccoli, onions, ginger and garlic. Then he bought some condiments, including pepper, pepper, star anise and cinnamon.
I bought another piece of beef, a piece of pork, and a chicken carcass. Then I went to a fish stall and saw the biggest fat head. I wanted it!
I bought some more thick glass bottles with lids, and walked back with my hands full.
On the way home, from the corner of my eye, I saw someone waving to me across the road. It was Qiu Yi.
Lin Shuang looked around, crossed the road, looked at her with a smile, and then looked at the store behind her. Someone was peeking inside, it should be Lu Wenjing.
I met Officer Liu again when I was running at night two days ago, and I mentioned this matter while chatting.
Lu Wenjing asked him if the passerby was Lin Shuang, and he told him that he was. The policeman was also quite loud, so he probably thought Lu Wenjing was pretty.
That night, I didn't pay much attention to what Lu Wenjing looked like, but I felt that the scene when she fell to the ground was quite tragic.
I guess this cat lady is embarrassed to see her, after all, she has lost face.
"Have you gone to work? How's business lately?"
"I did as you said and I'm feeling better. I'm just very busy...I forgot to say thank you that day."
Qiu Yi did not dare to look at Lin Shuang's face. She only looked down at the two large woven bags in his hands. They felt quite heavy. There was movement in both bags. They were jingling and flapping at the same time.
If he hadn't said he was going to the market, I would have thought he was picking up rags.
"No need to say thank you or anything else. I just use my mouth. You will do your own business."
Lin Shuang picked up the bag on his left hand: "I just went to the vegetable market and bought a fish, twenty pounds."
Qiu Yi looked surprised. Very few people would buy such a large whole fish. Either there were many people in the family, or they were asking, "Are you going to treat us?"
"Will you please go?" Lin Shuang said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
