Lingzi is not too cold today

Chapter 150 Ring
"The white-cut chicken is ready later, can I eat it?"

Zhong Lingzi leaned next to Gongsun Jin, staring at the chicken on the cutting board without blinking, like a chick waiting to be fed.

She fantasized about this scene many times in her childhood.

She had just reached the height of the stove, and stood on tiptoe in the kitchen, watching her mother cook.

That gentle woman was cooking chicken soup, which was a rare meal at home.

The smell of chicken lingered on the tip of her nose, making her lips salivate.

She would hold a woman's arm and act coquettishly, asking her when the chicken soup would be ready.

The woman always said with a smile, soon, soon, and then looked at her tenderly.

Finally, he scooped up a small bowl of soup and handed it to her. There were also her favorite red dates in the soup.

The chicken is very fragrant, and the woman will keep the drumsticks for her.

However, such a scene seems to only appear in dreams.

When she woke up from the dream, she was always alone.

She can't rely on others, and she has to be her sister's reliance.

"I can only eat one or two yuan."

"If you eat too much, customers will say that our dishes are too small."

Gongsun Jin said while processing the ingredients.

Three yellow chickens, appropriate amount of green onions and ginger slices, a small spoonful of cooking wine, ten peppercorns, three large spoonfuls of light soy sauce, a spoonful of dark soy sauce, a spoonful of sesame oil, salt, sugar, ice cubes, coriander.

Gongsun Jin has long memorized the ingredients and methods of white-cut chicken.

This was taught to him by the beautiful young woman who tried to take care of him when he went to Shenzhen in his previous life.

She is an authentic Cantonese, rice rolls, roast meat, dry fried beef river, white-cut chicken... these things that Gongsun Jin was not very interested in at first, all learned from her slowly.

Especially the boiled chicken dish, the woman did a great job.

Sometimes I go to her house for dinner.

Wearing an apron and braids, she would be busy in the kitchen, cooking for Gongsun Jin.

Gongsun Jin's expression is always a little dazed, and she feels that she is a bit like the mother in memory.

If he gets married in the future and has a lover like her, he should feel very happy.

But later, he received a red wedding invitation, and he left Shenzhen for this ten-year appointment.

After that, I never went back.

Regarding this experience, Gongsun Jin didn't think it was a bad thing.

Every girl, or woman, he met in his life taught him something.

Whether it is pain or love.

It was what they did to him that made him what he is today.

There are traces of their existence on Gongsun Jin's body, which are indelible.

As for Zhong Lingzi, she is the one who wants to reshape Gongsun Jin's soul.

"Boil a pot of water, put three slices of ginger, a piece of green onion, a few prickly ash peppers, and a teaspoon of cooking wine in the water. Make sure the amount of water does not cover the chicken."

"After the water boils, throw the chicken in and turn down the heat. Control the fire to the point where the water is just about to boil but not boil. Cover the pot and start to simmer."

As Gongsun Jin spoke, it seemed that the woman's voice was still lingering in her ears.

He felt that he shouldn't remember her so clearly, but lonely people always remember everyone in their lives very carefully.

Therefore, he always thinks of her endlessly, especially in the dead of night, when there is no sleep at all.

He will suddenly remember that woman left him a graceful back, applying lipstick in front of the mirror.

The color of those lips was a fiery bright red.

"Make the dip while the chicken is cooking. Mince the onion and ginger."

"Put a little more light soy sauce in the bowl, a spoonful of dark soy sauce, salt, sugar, appropriate amount..."

When Gongsun Jin said this, he suddenly paused.

"What is the right amount?"

Zhong Lingzi blinked.

"Chicken bath water."

Gongsun Jin said seriously.

"Pfft~"

Zhong Lingzi couldn't hold back, covered his mouth and laughed.

It was the same as her reaction when he said those words back then, but Lingzi was not her.

Lingzi is irreplaceable.

"A moderate amount of broth, which is the soup for cooking chicken."

"Minced green onion and ginger, sesame oil. The dipping sauce should be stronger."

Gongsun Jin said, before the chicken was cooked, he filled a large enough pot with clear water in advance, and then poured ice cubes into it.

After the chicken is out of the pot, throw it directly into the ice water to soak.

After cooling, take it out, cut off the chicken buttocks and excess fat, and then skillfully cut into chicken pieces of appropriate size for serving.

Considering that customers might not like coriander, Gongsun Jin thought about it, but resisted the urge to sprinkle some coriander.

Looking at the juicy chicken on the plate, Zhong Lingzi quietly swallowed her saliva without blinking her eyes.

"Here, the cut chicken butt and chicken head will satisfy your hunger."

Gongsun Jin raised his mouth and handed the chicken butt and chicken head to her.

Zhong Lingzi widened Shui Ling's eyes, puffed out his cheeks, and looked at him angrily, like an angry puffer fish.

"You said you want me to eat two pieces, but this is it?"

"Haha, I'm just kidding you."

Gongsun Jin threw the chicken head and chicken butt into the trash can, washed his hands, picked up the chopsticks, picked up two pieces, put them on a separate plate, and dipped them in chopped green onion, ginger and coriander.

"Try it!"

Zhong Lingzi impatiently picked up a chopstick and fed it to her mouth.

The first thing to eat is the smoothness of the chicken skin. Even though she doesn't like chicken skin, she also thinks the chicken skin is very delicious and not greasy.

It tastes very refreshing, as if the fat under the skin has melted away.

The chicken tastes very fresh and tender, without too much seasoning, the simple green onions and minced ginger have already raised the taste several notches.

The meat was well cooked, but the bones were raw, with reddish marrow.

"Or, let's tell the guests that the white-cut chicken is sold out."

"I want to eat by myself."

Zhong Lingzi looked at Gongsun Jin with a very serious face.

"When I get home, I'll make it for you."

Gongsun Jin admired the satisfaction on her face and smiled slightly.

At this time, Gongsun Jin suddenly understood what kind of mood he was in the previous life when he ate the meal cooked by the young woman landlord, and the beautiful young woman looked at him with admiration and doting eyes.

At that time, he was too young and ignorant.

Been hurt, and hurt some people.

Thinking of her today, with a little nostalgia, and a little guilt.

Like Lily, she was the one who had given him warmth and accompanied him through a difficult time.

Gongsun Jin hopes that they can live well in another time and space.

"woooo~"

"Let me have another piece."

Seeing the plate of white-cut chicken being taken away, Zhong Lingzi pouted with a resentful expression on his face.

"After recording the show, I'll go back and cook for you."

As Gongsun Jin said, he put the chopped eggplant and minced lean meat into the pot.

Drizzle the eggplant with minced meat and oil, and there are still a lot of leftovers when it is served on the plate.

Gongsun Jin deliberately took a small bowl, filled a bowl of rice from the pot, and handed it to Zhong Lingzi.

"Hee hee, I always feel like I'm here for dinner today."

While eating, Zhong Lingzi was rarely shy when facing the photographer's lens.

For the last tomato and egg soup, Gongsun Jin also specially scooped up a small bowl for her.

Looking at this scene, Meng Jiaran was also very envious.

"The dishes you cook are delicious, can I have a taste?"

"Not much."

Gongsun Jin didn't raise his head, his attitude was very cold.

Meng Jiaran smiled sarcastically.

“This white-cut chicken is very chicken-like!”

“Really delicious!”

“This eggplant and tofu is too good for a meal!”

"Waiter, another pot of rice!"

The diners had a great time eating.

The dishes made by Gongsun Jin were very popular and successfully realized profit.

Among the four dishes, the white-cut chicken is the largest and the most expensive, selling for 72 yuan.

Mapo tofu is 28 yuan, eggplant with minced meat oil is 26 yuan, tomato and egg soup is 17 yuan, and the portion is very large.

The price is very affordable for a restaurant.

Gongsun Jin's price is very low, which is the price of ordinary fly restaurants.

A total of 140 three yuan, a profit of 43 yuan.

It seems that the amount of profit is not high, but it is already an unattainable figure for participating artists.

Most of the guests who came to participate in "Overcooked Kitchen" were in a mess with their cooking skills.

Not only will it fail to achieve profitability, but it will also cause the restaurant to lose money.

"I only made a net profit of 43 yuan after making four dishes."

The two butterboys started laughing.

"Food and beverage earn hard money, do you think that catering is easy to do now?"

Zhong Lingzi looked at the remaining eggs, eggplants, tomatoes, and tofu.

There are still some ingredients left, and a few dishes can be made.

So the final total profit should not be low.

Afterwards, several groups of guests came, and another portion of eggplant with minced meat, tomato and egg soup, and mapo tofu was sold, and all the ingredients were used up.

"A total of 210 four, a net profit of 110 four."

The idol entertainers who split up in the gray, made the army pot, and four female college students came in for dinner.

"This army hot pot, you ordered 260 five?"

"Is the price so high?"

"It doesn't matter if the price is higher, it's high-end cuisine."

The idol artist smiled, put the bought crab steaks and meatballs into the pot, poured in the hot pot base and cabbage.

Zhong Lingzi glanced at him, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"What high-end cuisine, isn't it just swill?"

"It's so expensive, where does he have the face?"

"The dishes you cook are so delicious, and they are sold so cheap."

Seeing Zhong Lingzi's angry look, Gongsun Jin just smiled faintly.

"We come to record the show, there is no need to compare with anyone, the most important thing is to have fun."

Gongsun Jin didn't intend to compare with anyone.

He could set the price of the dishes exorbitantly, but he didn't intend to do so.

The reason is that he used to be a person at the bottom of the society and often patronized fly restaurants for dinner.

It's not easy knowing every penny these people make.

"But at the end of the show, we need to count our turnover."

"The one with the highest turnover will get a prize."

"I really want a prize."

"Though it's not a very precious thing."

"However, when I think that the first place will be taken away by that bitch, I feel so unfair."

As Zhong Lingzi spoke, he drooped his head and pouted his small mouth very high.

"Why are there so few meatballs and meat? It's still selling for 260 five."

"Yeah, just some cabbage and instant noodles. Not even a few pieces of bacon."

There were four college girls eating in the hall. They were disappointed when they saw the military pot with unsatisfactory ingredients and ingredients.

The idol artist looked at Zhong Lingzi and Gongsun Jin, a little proud.

"Oh, I accidentally won the first place, haha."

No matter what the evaluation is, the dishes have been sold, and the sales volume is 260, which has achieved an overtake.

Zhong Lingzi turned sideways and rolled his eyes.

"Do you really want to be number one?"

Gongsun Jin couldn't help smiling.

"It doesn't matter if it's number one or not, I just don't want to see that sissy looking proud."

Zhong Lingzi whispered.

"Okay, I probably know what to do."

Gongsun Jin looked at the remaining eggs and butter that he had bought as spares, walked to the crew, and said something to the staff.

The staff agreed, and then walked to the living room to negotiate with the girls.

"The chef's signature dish? Osmanthus eggs?"

"real or fake?"

"It won't be the same as hot pot, cheating us?"

"Look, what is this hot pot in your store? It's too dark!"

Faced with the dissatisfaction of the diners, the crew smiled and said: "This osmanthus egg, the chef said, the tasting is free."

"If you are satisfied, pay."

"If you are not satisfied, you will not receive a cent."

The girls looked at each other when they heard this.

"Okay, let's have one."

The leading girl wearing glasses said angrily.

After hearing the words, several guests in the background looked at each other and expressed their puzzlement.

"What's going on here?"

"What kind of dish is this sweet-scented osmanthus egg? I have never heard of it."

Gongsun Jin ignored their doubts, filtered the egg whites from the remaining eggs, and put the egg yolks into a bowl.

Pour in a little white sugar, then soak the mung bean powder with clean water, pour it into the egg yolk bowl, and mix well.

Scrub the frying pan clean, turn on the fire, pour in lard, and when the pan is about to heat up, pour in the prepared egg yolk and mung bean flour slurry.

While frying, Gongsun Jin kept stirring with a spoon, and kept pouring lard on the side of the pot to prevent sticking to the pot.

After frying for a full ten minutes, the egg yolk starch slurry changed from thin to thick.

Everyone in the program group watched this miraculous scene, the expressions on their faces changed from joking at the beginning, to surprise later, and now shock.

When the lard and egg yolk were melted together, Gongsun Jin poured sesame oil over it, took it out of the pan and dragged it onto a plate.

The sweet-scented osmanthus eggs on the plate are integrated and golden in color, not like eggs, but pastries made after careful cooking.

Zhong Lingzi blinked, feeling incredible.

"Is there still such a way for eggs?"

"Go home and make it for you to eat."

Gongsun Jin repeated it again, and then asked the crew to present the cooked sweet-scented osmanthus eggs.

The diners looked at this novel dish and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Sitting in the first place, the girl wearing glasses picked up the chopsticks, took a sip suspiciously, and suddenly widened her eyes.

"How about it?"

"Oh, it's delicious!"

She quickly picked up a few more chopsticks, her face flushed with excitement.

The rest of the girls also picked up their chopsticks and tried to eat.

"What kind of dish is this? I haven't heard of it before."

"Yeah, why is it so delicious?"

In the blink of an eye, this sweet-scented osmanthus egg was wiped out.

The waiter came to these girls again.

"Are you satisfied with this sweet-scented osmanthus egg?"

The girls glanced at each other and nodded.

"This sweet-scented osmanthus egg is pretty good, but it's really disappointing that you are the army's hot pot."

The girl with glasses said, still a little depressed.

"Yeah, we haven't eaten much of this hot pot, can we return it?"

"Have another serving of this sweet-scented osmanthus egg."

"OK, just a second."

The waiter withdrew the army hot pot and returned to the back kitchen.

Gongsun Jin was not surprised by this, and made another copy.

The girls were quite happy and paid for two copies.

Gongsun Jin did not overcharge, one set was 26 yuan, and two sets were 52 yuan.

The cost of the eggs is not high, the main reason is that it is laborious. After Gongsun Jin finished two servings, his arms were sore.

Zhong Lingzi helped him rub his shoulders with a distressed expression.

After the recording of the program, Gongsun Jin and Zhong Lingzi's turnover topped the list, reaching 266, which was one dollar more than No.2's 265.

I don't know if he was setting the price on purpose.

In addition, there are as many as eleven good reviews.

Looking at his sales, Wenxuan was also quite pleased.

He sold four copies of dumplings, which basically ensured a balance of payments. He received three positive reviews and one medium review.

Meng Jiaran's Guoguilao sold one, with a loss of more than 60 yuan, and one was well received.

The roast beef made by the yellow-haired traffic star only made one copy, priced at 150, and received one bad review.

The reason is that some of the beef is burnt and some are not cooked.

The girls who ordered the military pot thought it was worthless, and finally refunded it, and gave four bad reviews.

There are two scoring conditions for the program group, one is to look at the turnover.

The second is to look at the number of positive and negative reviews.

One point will be added for every dollar of turnover, and ten points will be added for a good review.

There are no extra points for mid-level reviews, and [-] points for bad reviews.

According to the final statistics, Gongsun Jin and Zhong Lingzi won the first place with 376 points.

The entertainer who made the troop pot looked at himself with a negative score of 305, holding his head in annoyance.

"yeah!"

Zhong Lingzi stretched out his hand, ready to give Gongsun Jin a high-five.

Gongsun Jin also reached out her hand, but she stretched out her hand and squeezed Gongsun Jin's head twice, then smiled.

The final prizes are sealed gift boxes, ranging from the height of a human to the small ones of a few cubic centimeters.

No.1 can choose one of them arbitrarily, which is similar to the link of opening a blind box.

"Which one shall we choose?"

Zhong Lingzi couldn't wait any longer, looked at Gongsun Jin, and smiled sweetly.

"The youngest one."

Gongsun Jin looked at the most inconspicuous little gift box in the corner.

"Row."

Zhong Lingzi picked up the small gift box.

The gift box is very light, about the size of a matchbox.

"Take it apart and see."

Under everyone's expectant eyes, Zhong Lingzi opened the gift box and finally found out that it was a DR's ring.

"Wow!"

Everyone cheered together.

"Congratulations, you have picked the most expensive one among the presents."

"This program is sponsored by DR Diamond Ring. You can only order one diamond ring in a lifetime! Let those who believe in true love find the only love in your life! Thank you DR Diamond Ring for your strong support for our program."

Taking advantage of the ring offered by Zhong Lingzi, the host also playfully inserted a commercial.

Zhong Lingzi looked at the diamond ring gift box in his hand, and then at Gongsun Jin, smiling like a flower.

Gongsun Jin also looked at her and smiled.
