Song Tan Jishi

Zhang Yanping sat on a tricycle and came back with Sweet Potato. He saw empty cartons piled up in the corner of the yard, and Xin Jun was slowly filling them with orders.

 Probably because everyone is anxious to place an order and pay as soon as possible, today’s 100 orders are basically one order, which saves a lot of worry when packing.

 But Zhang Yanping didn't pay attention to the list, and just asked curiously: "Brother Zhang didn't take it with you?"

Xin Jun glanced at him: "He stared at the computer for half an hour and found that there were no sales, so he went back worried."

 Can you not be worried? This is obviously because the God of Wealth has declined in strength and can no longer sell things. For his small business, this is a huge loss!

Zhang Yanping smiled guiltily: "Didn't I... didn't I give Qiao Qiao Shui some live broadcast time?"

Xin Jun had been watching the live broadcast the whole time, and now he looked at him with a smile but not a smile: "You can sell the goods first, and then treat Dabai to afternoon tea."

Zhang Yanping definitely couldn’t say that he had forgotten it because of his nonsense. At this moment, he asked him: "What about... do you eat sweet potatoes? Let me tell you, they are delicious! If you eat them, I will wash you a big one!"

Xin Jun responded lukewarmly, and then ordered: "Peel the skin."

Zhang Yanping looked at the stack of express delivery orders in his hand, felt guilty and short of breath, and hurriedly accepted the order.

It’s getting dark quickly now, and the detour from other villages is quite troublesome. It’s not that Brother Zhang is impatient, but he doesn’t want to delay any longer, so he leaves early.

Sigh, if we talk about road construction, it would be great if it could be built overnight!

 …

It is obviously impossible to repair it overnight, but the engineering team is full of energy and works hummingly. And Zhou Bao, who is building the road, looked at the vast sky and couldn't help but fish again and sent a message:

“We have potato stew tonight, what do you want to eat?”

It took a while for his brother to reply:

“Tonight is simple, steamed buns with cabbage paste.”

At that moment, Zhou Zhoubao almost laughed out loud—hahahaha! Finally one day my food supply surpassed yours!

Hum, the boss in the mountain must be so desperate that he can’t bear to give out any more good food, right? He visited several construction sites, but he knew the tricks of these bosses!

The contractor will never look for someone with particularly good craftsmanship. If the craftsmanship is good, the workers will have more to eat. If you eat too much, won’t your food bills go up?

 All capitalists in the world are like this!

But I secretly took another look at the chef's incisive knife skills on the large stove. He was stunned to cut the pork belly as thin as cicada wings, as if he was afraid that someone would notice it when he put it in his mouth.

 Thinking again about the picture of braised fish nuggets that my brother sent me yesterday, I can’t help but drool.

 At this moment, the other party sent another link:

“Master Jiang in our kitchen said that he learned it from Master Song of Shanxia, ​​and he is also doing live broadcasts - just show how to make cabbage soup, you can see.”

 “No more chatting, it’s time for me to take a break.”

 Taking back the phone, Zhou Zhoubao felt sour again. You are all working on the construction site, how come you still have serious rest time? Isn't it possible to take advantage of the opportunity to fish, and fish for a while?

But he doesn’t need to touch it today.

At this time, the work at hand was over, and the next procedures were planned differently. It happened to be dark, and they who were building roads simply stopped working.

 It's time for major mechanical construction tonight, so they can get off the early shift.

Like Zhou Zhoubao, there were other people who could not return home. Everyone gathered together and saw him staring at his mobile phone and couldn't help but wonder:

"We have to eat later. If you don't hurry back, what are you looking at here?"

Zhou Zhoubao clicked on the link and replied nonchalantly:

“I told you before that the worker’s food was good, and their chef started a live broadcast today about making cabbage soup.”

 “I guess their food will become worse from now on.”

He has been showing everyone pictures of other people’s meals during this period. Now when he heard him say this, some people immediately felt sad:

 “Cabbage soup...it’s chilly at night, it would be nice to have a bowl of hot soup.”

“Why are you drinking cabbage soup all of a sudden? Do you think there is so much oil and water every day that they are tired of eating meat?”

 “Hey, the cabbage soup doesn’t look good. I’ve been tired from working all day, and I don’t like eating anything light.”

But while everyone was talking, they surrounded him and went to the work shed.

Look at the chef who is a relative of the contractor in the front - I don’t know where I found Wolong Fengxiao, but they only stole the rice they cook!

Everyone returned to the simple work shed to rest in twos and threes. The cook in front had just started cutting potatoes.

Alas, cabbage, potatoes, onions -Oh because the chef's skills are not good and do not like onions, they have not eaten it.

 Everyone lost their appetite after seeing it, but they were still hungry, so they simply came over:

“Come on, Erbao, turn on your phone and let’s see how the cabbage soup is made.”

 …

 Jiang Xiaokang really plans to make cabbage soup tonight.

The temperature on the mountain is low, the sun is shining during the day, and everyone wears short-sleeves when working. But at night, even a thick coat is not enough!

Even if he stayed in the kitchen, he would feel cold all over as soon as he went out.

So Chef Jiang thought: On a day like this, it’s time to drink hot soup!

No, he wrote the menu last night and asked someone to deliver it. Now that his mobile phone is placed in front of him, he has begun to imitate others as an anchor.

It’s not that I’m trying to make money, I’m just a boring person.

His daughter has gone to college, and the better dormitory here has not been built yet. He didn't ask his wife to come over. There are aunties Zhai Xiaofeng who occasionally come to help in the kitchen, so he has to pay attention to it.

This is the live broadcast angle, there is no background, no close-up, no close-up, and no filter adjustment.

It's just an ordinary staff canteen, with an ordinary perspective. Occasionally, he himself is in the shot, and he's not even wearing work clothes - by the way, the Song family doesn't even have such a thing!

As a result, the live broadcast is not interesting, so it has been two days since it started and there are only a few fans.

 But for workers like Tuesday Bao, this is only real! Only in this way can they feel as if they themselves have eaten such food.

So everyone stepped forward and marveled:

 “This canteen is so big!”

"That's right! This kitchen is so clean. Look at the wall. It's snow-white and the firewood hasn't even smoked it through."

“Look at how clean the floor is! It’s definitely not sticky to your feet at all.”

 A group of old men working on construction sites are naturally rough and not very particular, but this does not mean that they are not covetous of other people's particularity.

At this moment, everyone is chatting away and listening to the constant sound of potatoes being cut outside, it seems that it is not so unbearable anymore.

In the camera, Jiang Xiaokang is skillfully holding down the cabbage on the chopping board, and then using the old kitchen knife in his hand like a peerless magic weapon, he can only hear the sound of "wiping, wiping, wiping", and the layers of cabbage leaves are... The child was cut into thin strands from the white and moist pole, revealing the cut that was full of moisture.

 Followed by yellow-green leaves…

While Jiang Xiaokang was cutting cabbage, he tilted the knife on the chopping board and quickly gathered the pile of shredded cabbage into a large stainless steel basin.

He thought about it and decided to say something:

"As for the food at the construction site, the boss said you can eat whatever you want, but we chefs have to think carefully and do what we can. If we make meat, we have to have one meat and one vegetarian, and if we make vegetarian, we have to bring shredded pork... We can't call everyone If you don’t eat well, you can’t spend money carelessly.”

“It’s cold at night in the mountains, so let’s make some hot cabbage soup tonight.”

As he spoke, he nodded with satisfaction: "This Chinese cabbage is not in season yet, and it's very expensive. It costs 1 yuan and a half per catty. It's better than freshness."

While he was talking, Zhai Xiaofeng had already finished washing another basin of cabbage and was bringing it to him. Jiang Xiaokang stretched out his hand to grab one. He picked up the knife and chopped it into pieces and threw it away.

 Then the sound of "scratching" continued, and soon he cut the whole vegetable into shreds. Just like this one after another, it was obviously a very boring action, but it made everyone sitting in the work shed fascinated.

Listen to this rhythm: rub rub rub rub.

Listen to the rhythm of cutting potatoes outside... The potato slices are so thin that light can pass through, and the thick ones can be used as tiles. After working for so many days, there is no progress at all, how can there be any rhythm?

 Not following the rhythm of four or six.

 …

 The cabbage is cut.

Three large basins full of shredded cabbage were placed on the equally spacious table, and here, Jiang Xiaokang gave an order: "Light the fire."

On the other side of the camera, where no one can see it, Zhai Xiaofeng has skillfully inserted the tongs into the stove, fiddled with it a few times, then filled it with a handful of leaves, and the flames immediately started burning.

But she struck while the iron was hot, found a few branches of even thickness to put in, and asked again:

 “Are the two stoves next to them also burning together?”

 They cook at the construction site, because there are always more people coming to eat, so the portions are always very large. In the past, those three giant pots were used to cook the food together.

“Let’s burn it. Let’s also burn the two stoves over there.”

Jiang Xiaokang ordered.

Zhai Xiaofeng nodded and repeated the previous steps without saying a word.

Jiang Xiaokang stood there silently, waiting quietly for a while, and then poured the entire bag of flour into three large pots.

Then she took a shovel and stir-fried, and at the same time she ordered:

 “Turn down the fire.”

 “Don’t be in a hurry when frying.”

After giving these instructions, he seemed to remember that he was live broadcasting, so he quickly explained:

“If you want this cabbage soup to be thick, we need to make some gnocchi at the bottom. However, if you add too much flour, it will be troublesome to make the gnocchi... Just stir-fry it like this, and then add cold water and cook it directly into a paste.”

Here, the workers in the work shed looked at each other and said in confusion:

“Didn’t you say cabbage soup? Why did you fry the flour first?”

 Everyone frowned and commented decently:

“I know, fry the flour, then dip it in the shredded cabbage and fry it in the pan—isn’t this the same as wrapping it in bread crumbs?”

is that so?

Zhou Zhoubao thought about it, shouldn’t deep-fried cabbage soup be necessary?

They were thinking that the flour over there seemed to be almost fried, but Jiang Xiaokang took back his hand and ordered Zhai Xiaofeng, who was sitting in front of the stove again: "Add half a pot of cold water to the pot, stir slowly, stir well ”

Zhai Xiaofeng responded with joy.

She knew that Master Jiang came here to give advice because he saw that he was not good at raising children alone!

Over here, Jiang Xiaokang took the mobile phone holder and moved it to the two stoves on the back. The fire in the stove had just started, and now the white walls were dancing with orange light.

But he was not in a hurry, he just raised his hand to test the temperature of the pot, and without saying a word, he directly picked up a large bucket of oil under the eyes of everyone in the live broadcast room.

　　Everybody:! !

“You see, I told you, this must be deep-fried!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xiaokang put the oil aside and dragged two stainless steel basins from a distance.

 There are about one basin in each basin, each with a basket full of eggs. He was holding an egg with one hand, and just knocked it lightly on the basin. He didn't know how his fingers moved. With a "click", the egg shell split into two, and the egg white and yolk inside slid smoothly into the pot. In the basin.

 The two hands moved at the same time, without any stumbling, and the whole scene seemed to be accelerated.

 Look at the eggs again. It’s almost time to break a basin of them.

 But at this moment, no one wanted to witness the chef’s skills. They only said sadly:

 “So willing to give it up!”

I don’t know who murmured, but everyone in the shed nodded.

The oil in the pot seemed to be hot, but Jiang Xiaokang did not panic at all. Instead, he picked up a large spoon and moistened the sides of each large pot.

He got a large electric egg beater from somewhere. It buzzed and turned, and the whole bowl of eggs was beaten silky and evenly.

 Everyone in the live broadcast room felt a little weird for no reason.

 Until someone sighed:

“I thought chefs relied on manual labor and apprenticeships to do everything...I never expected to use a whisk!”

Another person laughed at him: "Then ask other chefs if they know how to use a rice cooker?"

The oil in the pot had begun to crackle. Jiang Xiaokang took a large spoon and scooped up eggs one by one and added them to the pot. He only heard a "chi la" sound, and gurgling oil was poured into each pot. .

 Just wait for a moment for the oil to heat up, and then pour in a full 1/3 of the pot of eggs!

With the high temperature of the oil, the egg expands rapidly, taking on the soft color of the yolk. It is stirred up mercilessly by a large spoon, and then quickly expands, becomes burnt, turns yellow, and exudes a tangy aroma.

 Everyone in the work shed here has begun to swallow their saliva.

 “Didn’t you say cabbage soup? Why do you still have fried eggs?”

“There are so many eggs, wait a minute, can each person shovel a spoon?”

“Be good! You said such a good thing, why don’t you let us meet it?”

“Exactly! The cook didn’t even peel the potatoes the day before yesterday. He was afraid that I would eat two more for the foreman and go bankrupt!”

Some people were indignant: "This foreman is not honest. We won't follow him next time. In what age is there still such a money-grabbing person... I haven't seen him in several years."

“That’s right, they are stingy and stingy like crazy. This kind of people will complain about their misery if they don’t get rich!”

 Amidst the mutterings of a group of men, the scrambled eggs in the pot were put into a large basin, followed by the next pot.

 So many eggs, so many eggs, so many eggs…

Even though everyone saw it when I cracked the eggs just now, the eggs are now swollen, hot, and fragrant...

That feeling is different.

 It’s still two chapters in one!

Today I passed by a fishing gear store and I was trying to pick out a fishing rod for my dad. The boss looked at me and said, "Can I pick one for you at a good price?" I said yes and he said 3000.

I:…

 I understand intellectually. I know a young man who bought a reel for only 4,000.

 But in the end I left in despair.

Good night!
