Across the Market

Chapter 48

"Okay, mother knows." Aunt Shen waved at Zhu Fu and the two of them, and after they ran away like mice, she said again, "Lou'er, mother knows that you love your sister, but haven't you seen it? Your sister is willing to go out to find a job, and we earn money with our hands, so there is no shame." She sighed, and said, "The money you sent home before has been saved for you, and you are old and young. , you have to go to the provincial capital to take the Juren examination in August next year, and you have to marry a daughter-in-law, which one does not need money? Your sister will also save the money earned by your sister, and when she gets married, mother will let her take all the money to her husband's house go."

Shen Yulou listened quietly all the time, and after Aunt Shen finished speaking, he nodded slightly and said: "My son understands." After speaking, he unconsciously looked in the direction where Zhu Fu and the two left, sighed softly, and then moved Close the door again and go.

When Zhu Fu went to the Jingbin Building, Xiao Jingbin was waiting outside the door and paced back and forth. Seeing Zhu Fu coming, he rushed over to greet him, and said anxiously, "Miss Zhu, you are finally here." In the lobby, "I asked Er Fu to hire a cook again this afternoon, but these people ordered and said that they only ate dishes made by Miss Zhu, and the cook left in anger. It's on."

The humidity in the south is heavy, and it is very cold when it freezes in the evening in winter. Zhu Fuha rubbed his hands angrily.

Looking inside, he saw that the lobby on the first floor was already crowded with people. Zhu Fu said, "Well, I'll go to the back kitchen and make fried noodles tonight. But I only make thirty servings. I'll go home after thirty copies."

"Noodles?" Xiao Jingbin was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes flickered, "This is the staple food that people in the north love to eat. We are in the south, and most of them eat rice as the staple food. Maybe these guests are not used to it?"

Zhu Fu said: "You will get tired of eating every day, but if you eat it once in a while, you will definitely like it." She pointed to the sky and said, "It's so cold and it's late at night, I want to eat some hot soup and hot noodles It's always good to keep warm and warm your body."

Xiao Jingbin said: "Okay, Miss Zhu, I, Xiao, believe in your cooking skills. If you say you can do it, you will do it."

Zhu Fu went to the back kitchen through the small door on the side. Although there was no cook inside, there were already several helpers waiting.

Xiao Jingbin led Zhu Fu and Shen Yuzhu into the kitchen, and said to the person who had just come back to wash the dishes and cut vegetables: "This Miss Zhu is the chef of our Jingbin Building. From now on, you will deal with all the affairs in the kitchen. They are all under Miss Zhu's orders." He smiled, and then said to Shen Yuzhu, "Miss Shen, look, do you stay in the kitchen to do things, or go outside to help out in the lobby?"

Shen Yuzhu took Zhu Fu's arm and said, "I learned how to cook from Ah Fu. If I get started quickly, I can cook a few dishes for the guests of Jingbin Building in the future."

Xiao Jingbin said with a smile: "Okay, then go ahead, I'll go out and have a look."

Seeing that the boss attaches great importance to the cook who looks like two little girls in front of him, all the people working in the kitchen put down their work, walked up to Zhu Fu and the two, and introduced themselves.

"Miss Zhu, Miss Shen, I was hired by Boss Xiao to help the two girls. My husband's family name is Fang, and everyone calls me Sister Fang." The first Sister-in-law who introduced herself looked at her early forties, The body is slightly fatter, and the face looks very amiable.

The other two are Mrs. Niu and Mrs. Gui, who are about the same age as Mrs. Fang, and they are both hired by Xiao Jingbin.

Zhu Fu recognized the people, and he had already remembered them in his heart, so he went to the noodle vat to scoop up flour and put it into the basin to knead the noodles.To make oil-splashed noodles, the noodles must be firm and chewy, so the kung fu of kneading the noodles must be perfect.

Pour warm water into the washbasin several times, pull it into dough, and keep kneading until it is almost firm, then cover it with white gauze and put it aside.After completing these, Zhu Fu started to make ingredients and seasonings. The ingredients used were cabbage, bean sprouts, shallots, garlic, coriander, etc.

The seasonings are daily required seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar.

After the noodles are reconciled, cut them into long strips with the width of your thumb, and cook them in boiling water after cutting them.After the noodles are cooked, pick them up and put them in a large bowl, add fried bean sprouts and scallions while they are still hot, and pour a thick layer of chili oil on them. The splashed noodles are ready.

Because Jingbinlou is mainly based on food on weekdays, so there are fewer seasonings for making pasta.

Zhu Fu used to make oily noodles at home. At that time, he specially cooked chicken soup in advance, and there were chicken essence and other seasonings at home. The oily noodles made were fresh and tender, and melted in the mouth.However, the conditions here are limited after all, and the noodles made may have to be discounted.

Zhu Fu's dissatisfaction did not mean that the other four people in the kitchen were dissatisfied. Shen Yuzhu smelled the aroma and quickly took the bowl, leaned closer to smell it vigorously, and her saliva flowed out.

She wiped her mouth with her hand and said, "Ah Fu, how can it be so fragrant? Just smelling it makes my mouth water."

Zhu Fu raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "Don't be poor, I can make five bowls in this pot, you take it out first, and then ask someone to come in to serve it later."

Shen Yuzhu was just about to go out with his front feet, when A Dong got in with his back feet. Seeing that two bowls were already filled by the stove, he came over with a smile and reached out to serve them.

"Be careful of burning." Zhu Fu slapped his hand, took two rags and handed them to him, "Put them on the bottom of the bowl and drag them, send them out."

Ah Dong swallowed a big mouthful of saliva smelling the aroma, and looked at the two bowls of noodles greedily. He really wished he could eat both bowls of fragrant noodles immediately.

After being urged by Zhu Fu again, he ran out quickly.
