Chapter 125 Spicy Oxtail Pot

After the broadcast of the Chinese and Western food competition, the business of Yu's restaurant fell into a difficult situation again.

In her free time, Yu Jian always helps out in the back kitchen, and even helps Yu Jianguo train the new worker Han Lin.

"Little... little boss, you... your knife... your knife skills are really... really good!" Han Lin stared at her hand for a moment, admiring.

Yu Jian smiled, the fish in her hand was cut into thin transparent slices and placed on the plate, each slice was of the same thickness.

She said to Han Lin: "Your knife skills are also good. Brother Xiao Lin, why do you want to work here?" Yu Jianguo showed her Han Lin's resume. Logically speaking, such an excellent person, They are all favorites of large hotel chains, how could they condescend to come to their half-sized restaurant.

Han Lin was a little sad, and his tone was a little low: "He...they despise... despise me!" There was a strong sense of unwillingness in his tone.

Yu Jian understood in seconds.Probably because Han Lin has a bit of a stutter. Although chain hotels pay well, they also have high requirements in all aspects.

She patted Han Lin on the shoulder and comforted him: "Then you will work hard here. With your ability, you may be the pillar of our Yu family's restaurant in the future!"

There was a sparkle in his eyes, and the excitement infected Han Lin. He stared blankly at the little girl who was several years younger than him, and a touch of warmth flashed through his eyes.

"By the way, Brother Xiaolin, aren't you from the capital?" The little girl turned her head and continued to struggle with the fish in her hand.

Han Lin hummed, and answered her: "I... I came to the capital when I was... in my teens, and my hometown is... He Province."

"Did you come with your family? Is the capital city very different from He Province?" The little girl chattered, bringing Han Lin's thoughts back to the past.

He Sheng... He almost can't remember what it was like. He never knew who his father was since he was a child. When he asked his mother, his mother would only cry. If he asked again, he was looking for life and death.After a long time, he knew that the word father was a taboo in the family.

Until one day, an uncle found their home and asked his mother to bring him to the capital, find him a school, provide him with food and drink, and let his mother learn skills and start working.He asked, is that the father?Mother shook her head, but a tear fell from the corner of her eye...

"Brother Xiaolin? Han Lin??" Yu Jian looked at the wandering man beside him, and called him helplessly.

"Ah...?" Han Lin reacted a little too late, seeing Yu Jian looking at him.

"It's time to cut the cucumbers." The little girl pointed to a large pile of cucumbers in the basket, "It's too late."

……

Two days later, when the store was closed, Yu Jianguo called Tang Yuan to have dinner at home, saying that Yu Jianping was going to show off his unique skills.

Yu Jian pouted unhappily and looked at her father: "Why did you invite Tang Yuan to dinner?"

Yu Jianguo smiled mysteriously: "Your Uncle Jianping has something important to announce." Seeing Yu Jian's instantly gossipy expression, he covered his smile again and said with a straight face, "Your Uncle Jianping won't let me speak, so you have to say it on the spot. "

Well!If you don't say it, don't say it, what are you doing so mysteriously.

Yu Jian lost interest, sat down on the sofa and bowed her head without speaking.

Yu's mother pushed Yu Jianguo, and motioned him to look at Yu Jian's young daughter.Ever since she arrived in the capital, her daughter has really undergone a drastic change from before. She is much more cheerful, not to mention, she even acts like a baby in front of them from time to time.

Mama Yu felt that this was the happiest moment in her life, as long as... as long as that brat at home is more obedient.

"By the way, Ah Jian, the program team has sent over the money, which is more than what we talked about before." Mama Yu told her, thinking about the call she received yesterday.Originally, these were all money earned by Yu Jian himself, and neither of the two adults in the Yu family wanted it.But Ah Jian said that she is still studying and can't spend much money. The first money she earns must be used at home.

This warmed Yu Jianguo's heart, his daughter really knew how to love others.But when he saw the several zeros at the back, he hesitated again: "Ah Jian, you should keep this money for yourself."

Yu Jian didn't listen to him, and threw away the bank card: "The password is Yu Yuan's birthday."

"Mom—is sister Tang calling?" There have been some rumors recently, and she also saw false remarks on the Internet, and she always wanted to find an opportunity to ask Tang Yuan, but he didn't show up at Lantingxuan for several days. , Send a message and don't reply.

Mother Yu shook her head: "It's a young man. But I asked, it seems that Jingling is under some kind of censorship."

Has it reached the point where it needs to be censored?The situation is so serious?
Yu Jian's heart sank gradually, and she vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"Jianguo, come and help me move things." Yu Jianping's loud voice came through the door, and a huge foam box was placed at the door, making him gasp for breath.

Yu Jianguo hurried out and carried the things in with him.Yu Jian handed Yu Jianping a tissue to wipe his sweat, and asked, "What did you bring?"

"Beef! Let's eat a different beef pot today."

Blanch the fresh oxtail bones in cold water in a cold pan to release as much blood from the bones as possible.When the blood foam on the surface condenses, filter it out with a sieve, remove the blanched oxtail bone, wash it with clean water and set aside.

The spices at the bottom of the pot should be well-prepared. The oxtail pot has a strong flavor, cinnamon and bay leaves are indispensable, and a little medicinal materials are also required.Next, cut the onion into cubes, cut the shallots into sections, and stir-fry slowly with the ginger on low heat until the onion becomes soft and the oil is full of aroma, then remove it.

Pour a spoonful of bean paste into the oil pan and stir-fry over low heat. At this time, the pan is already orange-yellow in color, then pour in the spices and stir-fry together, so that the deliciousness of the spices can be fully released.Then pour in water, oyster sauce, light soy sauce to taste, then add a spoonful of brown sugar, and stew with the oxtail bone.

Slowly, a strong fragrance rushed into everyone's nose.

Yu Yuan quickly ran to the kitchen door, squatted on the ground and kept drawing circles, muttering: "It smells so good...so spicy...so spicy..."

He is still young and can only eat a little bit of spicy food, but the spicy smell from the oxtail pot seems to have exceeded his acceptable range.

He kept sucking his saliva, and yelled frantically in his heart: "Bullying children, bullying children..."

The temperature difference between morning and evening in Beijing is very large. In the cool autumn wind, it is really a fairy-like day to have a pot of hot and spicy oxtail pot.

When Tang Yuan stepped into the small courtyard, it was just at the time when the lights of thousands of houses were on.

The warm little lights inside, as well as the laughter that entered his ears from time to time, stripped the coldness around him in an instant.

"Xiao Tang is here?" Grandma Yu happened to come out with her things. Seeing Tang Yuan standing at the door and refusing to go in, she hurriedly greeted, "How long have you been here? Why don't you come in?"

Tang Yuan rubbed his hands, a smile appeared on his face: "I just came here. What delicious food did you do? You can smell the fragrance from a long way away!"

Grandma Yu: "Jianping made oxtail pot, wash your hands quickly, I'll wait for you!"
