Strange Chef

Chapter 26: Chef Zhang Zhengyi

Zhang Zhengyi does not believe that Bai Lu can carve well so fast. Although he just picked up the walnut carving, but last night, the old man is holding the walnut research and research, under a lot of time. And white road is the first time to see this walnut, light conception is a lot of time, how can be faster than their own?

But the white road has stopped, Zhang Zhengyi with a suspicious glance, well? Follow a look again, stopped the hand work, picked up the white road walnut carefully look, at least five minutes, a sigh: " old."Put away two walnuts and kitchen knives, he is not compared.

Bai Lu said loudly: " The old man walk slowly.”

"Who said I was leaving?"Zhang Zhengyi walked into the kitchen.

"What else do you want?”

"Carving walnut is just a small skill, do a cook, the main test of the master, I want to cook with you.”

White road half opened his mouth, and looked up at the past: " old man, you are really shameless.”

"Do you say that about the elders?"The old man changed his pride when he just entered the store, into the grandfather next door, but still a little serious.

There is a wall clock on the wall, no shell and no dial, it seems to be the same dress of dead branches, the thickest and shortest dead branch refers to the position of eleven.

White road looked up: " old man, I want to open for business, we do not toss into not?”

"What is a toss about? For the cook, when there is sincere, with the way, perseverance, the old saying, the big country should be like cooking small fresh, similarly, we cook small fresh also want as serious as the governance of the country, how can toss about, how can be toss about?......" The old man opened his eyes and gushed.

"I than!"White road really can not stand, would rather go to cook, also do not listen to Zhang Zhengyi speak:" than what?”

"Egg fried rice."It is estimated that not less to watch chef movies, Zhang Zhengyi has the consciousness of film roles.

White road sighed: " difficult me is not? Yes, wait twenty minutes.”

"Why wait for 20 minutes?”

"cook rice!"White road gas hum back to the kitchen, the heart way outside the world is too bad to mix, what all want to worry, or in the desert simple, fist big line.

Zhang Zhengyi was obviously deceived by the film, and seriously suggested: " Fried rice should be used overnight.”

"Which teacher taught you? The emperor wanted to eat egg fried rice, who would dare to use overnight cooking? A group of crazy people."White road can be caught the opportunity to breathe out.

"you!"Zhang Zhengyi knows the origin of egg-fried rice, the legend is that the great emperor of the Sui Dynasty will carry it forward, want to debate also do not know what to say. Can only angrily follow up the kitchen, was blocked by the white road: " change clothes, with a hat, with gloves, and a mask.”

"Why don't you wear gloves and a mask."Zhang Zhengyi was very angry.

"The restaurant is mine!"White road to wash rice.

Zhang Zhengyi stepped back and stood at the kitchen door. " What kind of rice are you using? Rice is wrong, the taste is certainly wrong, the best rice of Yangzhou fried rice is white can rice.”

White road completely helpless: " you old man is looking for big pick department graduate?”

"what? I have not gone to college."Zhang Zhengyi did not understand.

"Find fault with the university, find fault with the major."Wash the rice, put it into the rice cooker, plug it in, and press the switch.

The old man this just reaction over, the boy dare to tease me? Continue to persevere in the fault: "want to do fine fried rice, can not use electric rice cooker, to use dry wood pot, can not use tap water, after the rice is cooked, take the middle part of the upper part of the rice......"

The words did not finish, was interrupted by the white road: " old man, on my small restaurant, do what best fried rice.”

"you! Spoil the art of good food!"The old man began to hat.

"Stop talking nonsense, drink and drink water?”

"tea plant."Zhang Zhengyi is very cool.

The White Road is even cooler: " No! Only plain boiled water and tap water, you can choose between one side.”

They were quarreling seriously, and the melodious bamboo flute suddenly sounded outside the door, which was very pleasant to hear. In the noise of the busy city and the noise of the traffic, they could go straight into the restaurant and their ears.

Zhang Shasha looked out through the glass door, a 16 or 7 years old, very short, wearing dirty clothes, hair is messy, with a small chest hanging a school bag, hands with a flute, while walking while blowing.

It is worth noting that he is a lame man, with a clearly thin leg, perhaps worried about being misunderstood to cheat money, the lame trousers high up, showing the black calf, in sharp contrast to the healthy leg.

Young a walk a drag, like Gu Long described Fu Hongxue, walk slowly, but is always straight forward, never stop to walk.

He does not beg, just play the flute.

Pedestrians have donated money, or a piece or ten yuan, walked over, put the money into the bag on his chest.

The young man did not speak, and bowed to every good man who was willing to help him. Every person gave him money, he bowed, but the flute did not rest, blowing Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.

"It's good to blow."Sasha said softly.

White road to look out, just see the young strong figure, look back at the rice cooker, told the leopard: " you go to call the flute, said to invite him to dinner at noon, wrong, you tell him, I asked him to play a flute, the pay is lunch.”

Hearing this, Zhang Zhengyi's always serious face, like spring weathering ice, suddenly melted, smiled and nodded: " You are good.”

White road depressed: " I wrong good use you say, why old stand at the high point to judge others?”

Say that finish this sentence, resolutely ignore Zhang Zhengyi, go to the refrigerator to turn out the chicken, duck and fish, serious 800 do four cold four hot four meat and four vegetable dinner.

Zhang Zhengyi does not give up, as a "find big" top student, how can so easily admit defeat, persuade white road: " is not a little too rich? That's not good? He eats so much by himself?”

Bai Lu was completely convinced: " When did I say that this is done for him?”

Understanding the leopard, the boy bowed to him, stopped and played a song before he slowly walked to the restaurant. But at the door, he refused to come in, saying that he was afraid of getting dirty in the restaurant.

"What dirty?come in."White road shouted in the kitchen, and shouted leopard:" take him to the bathroom to wash his face and wash his hands, wash clean, your today's bonus 100 yuan.”

A listen to make money, the leopard is like k********g, take the boy into the bathroom.

At this time there are many people outside the queue, saw a beggar into the restaurant, someone whispered: " How did he get in? How do we eat it?”

Someone protested loudly: " He wasn't waiting in line.”

Bai Lu shouted back: " If you are like him, you don't have to line up.”

Five minutes later, when the boy came out, Mr.Bai Lu asked, " What do you want to eat?”

The boy cowered and whispered, " Everything works.”

"Quickly order, finish eating, go to the door to play a song."Bai Lu treated him like a normal man.

The boy hesitated: " Fish.”

"One more point.”

"beef.”

"All right, we will just wait."Kitchen fire crazy burning, burst out the lampblack, also burst out the fragrance of dishes.

Zhang Zhengyi stared covetously, watching while nodding: " good, good, basic skills are good, work also agile, also clean, where to graduate?”

White road want to bite people, how can this old man and high can be as angry as high? He must be treated as a transparent person and concentrate on cooking.

Fifteen minutes later, a big bowl of fragrant rice, a fish juice, a plate of roast pork in front of the boy.

The young some touched, wandering days, often invited him to dinner, but like today to treat him as a normal guest, wholeheartedly to serve him is never.

The boy said thank you.

White road from the automatic chopsticks machine to take chopsticks and spoons over: " eat slowly, not urgent.”

Automatic chopsticks machine is a new equipment, has disinfection function. Bai Lu disliked disposable chopsticks, so he bought one.

He also doesn't like plastic bags and foam lunch boxes, so he bought a batch of insulated lunch boxes with handles and packed them with food. Just one point is that customers who pack home have to pay a $100 deposit.

Although the white road let him eat slowly, the boy is not willing to, two fish, a plate of meat, in five minutes all eat. After dinner, I volunteered to clean up the table.

White road stop: " put where, rest, for a while, still have to play the flute.”

Sand sand end over a glass of water, the boy took over, repeatedly thanked: " Thank you, thank you.”

White road took out two hundred dollars, handed the boy a: " for a while more blow a song can not?”

"Yes, yes, thank you, and you can have no more money."The boy waved his hand away.

Bai Lu said nothing and put the money into his bag.

The leopard removed the boy's used bowl and took it back to the kitchen. White road walked over: " Your bonus."A hundred dollars is put at the sink.

The leopard looked at the money and at the restless lame boy in the restaurant. Speed up the action, quickly brush clean the plate bowl, put into the disinfection machine. Then he took the money out and put it into the old bag together.

The boy is repeatedly thanks.

Fair speaking, young a day income at least hundreds of more, for him, 100 dollars is really nothing. But someone is willing to treat him fairly, this is the most rare, naturally is grateful repeatedly.

At this time, Bai Lu makes egg-fried rice in the kitchen.

Serve a plate of freshly made rice, break it apart and freeze it in the refrigerator. Then beat the eggs and stir. After 20 minutes, take out the rice and fry it.

Very simple steps, fire, pour oil, scrambled eggs. Take out the fried rice, then add eggs, salt, scallion, egg fried rice. There are no other accessories.

The old man stared at him. " Are this fried rice?”

White road also did not answer, served fried rice, to the old man in front of his eyes, turned around and walked away.

Zhang Zhengyi is very angry, you this is a perfunctory me! Shout out, " Prepare food."He wants to show the white road, what is fried rice.

The white road looked down at the leopard and asked him to wait on the old man. The leopard had to go to the kitchen and ask, " What dish?”

"Of course, fried rice ingredients, Jinhua ham, scallops, shrimp, mushroom......"

The leopard seems to listen to the book of heaven, turned to see the white road: " we have?”

White road cough: " old man, delay spoil things, first a taste of my cooking, feel not delicious again."Said to the leopard," Take the chopsticks.”
