Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 156 Mutton Fried Rice
Fried rice is the simplest dish in cooking, but if you want to make it well, there are many details.

Especially lamb.

As we all know, mutton is delicious, but it naturally has a nasty smell of mutton. If it is not handled properly, diners will subconsciously resist it.

I have ten ways to remove the fishy smell. I learned it from a halal restaurant near my previous work. However, the time is limited. These aggressive restaurant employees may not be able to let me play freely, so I directly use the pot to cook. cooked lamb.

Change the knife to dice, a piece of cooked mutton with the size of a palm, let me cool it in water, then quickly dice it for later use, then peel the onion and carrot, and dice it for later use.

My knife skills were considered good, but after becoming a night walker, I have more delicate control of power, which makes cutting things fast and stable.

Duo duo duo, the sound is clear and clear, and the picture is neat, which is pleasing to the eye.

Then came the rice. I chose cold rice that was slightly harder, and the mutton was specially selected to be a little fatter.

In addition, I also beat two eggs in a bowl, added a proper amount of cooking wine, and then stirred quickly with chopsticks.

After 1 minute, I boiled the pan and poured oil. When the temperature was right, I put the fat mutton into the pan and stir-fried. After the pot of frying mutton smells the aroma of onions, pour diced mutton, add salt, cumin powder, and a little soy sauce, and pour cold rice into the other side, stir-fry quickly, and beat the condensed cold rice into a ball Rice grains.

When the mutton tastes fragrant, the two pots are combined into one pot, followed by a large spoon.

Everything went very quickly. After grasping the heat, my movements were smooth and smooth, and the movement of the big spoon was completed very beautifully with the cooperation of the Nightcrawler's physique.

Those rice grains wrapped in egg liquid shook and fell in mid-air, and when the light from the kitchen came over, they formed an indescribable beauty.

After 5 minutes, sprinkle chopped green onion, and the mutton fried rice is out of the pan.

I made four bowls, turned off the fire and turned on the water, and then I brought the four bowls full of golden, index-finger-sweet mutton fried rice to the table at the door of the kitchen.

The mutton fried rice is served on the table, yellow eggs, white rice grains, sauce-colored mutton and shiny fat meat, white-purple onions, reddish diced carrots, and emerald green scallions, the integrated picture is very impactful force.

Under the reflection of the steaming mist, the flat-chested firewood girl was a little surprised, and said: "Oh, this one, it seems to be different from the one made in the old picture, it's so beautiful."

The waiter Xiaoliu disdained me the most, pushed the girl and said, Myolie, what are you talking about, isn't it just a bowl of fried rice, what's the matter?

Chef Lao Tu was also very dissatisfied, and said to Xing'er: "I am a chef, and I cook all kinds of big dishes. Lamb fried rice is a staple food to satisfy my hunger. What's the use of being so fancy? But, this kid's knife skills are indeed Not bad, use it as a side dish..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, picked up the bowl, and took a bite into his mouth with chopsticks.

Well……

As soon as the fried rice was in his mouth, he immediately let out a "huh", and then his eyes, which were cloudy due to the oily smoke in the kitchen all year round, suddenly lit up.

The waiter Xiaoliu saw it, and hurriedly said: "What's the matter? Old Tu, if it doesn't work, spit it out quickly, don't choke..."

Before he could finish his words, Lao Tu forcefully took a few bites into his mouth as if he had been hungry for several days.

After he swallowed it, he asked me: "What on earth did you put in it, why does it feel so delicious - the deliciousness of the lamb, the mixed taste of onions and carrots, with the embellishment of cumin, the tenderness of the eggs The sense of fullness and rice burst out at the moment of entrance, and there is also an inexplicable sweetness, how can mutton fried rice be so delicious?"

The waiter Xiaoliu was a little strange when he heard what Lao Tu said, saying that Lao Tu, did he give you money?You have learned this string of nonsense words from movies, right?
As he spoke, he also picked up the bowl and took a mouthful carefully.

As a result, his eyes also lit up.

Afterwards, he brought the bowl to the next table, and quickly picked it up in his mouth, for fear that others would snatch it from him.

And I said to the chef Lao Tu: "When I was frying rice, you were watching the whole process. Would you not see what was put in? The main thing is the mastery of the heat. The heat is the soul of cooking. Of course, the freshness of the ingredients is the key. Indispensable factor..."

I spoke high-soundingly, as if it made sense, but in fact there is no core content.

The reason why this bowl of mutton fried rice is so delicious is not only because I have a very high talent for cooking and to explore food everywhere, but also one of the most important reasons is that I made a lot of food during the dazzling operation just now. , taking advantage of the dizziness of others, put in a little honey from Heart Eater Bee.

This time I came out, whether it was the honey from the heart-eating bee or the royal jelly, I brought some.

Not much, but enough of these things.

And this is why I dare to eat Bawang's meal here. Of course, there is another reason. I found that this restaurant looks quite big, but it seems to be short of staff, and it should need to recruit people.

It was precisely for this that I just walked into this small sheep and scorpion restaurant after observing for several hours.

Speaking of this, some people may have doubts, saying that since you have the honey and royal jelly of the heart-eating bee on your body, why don't you take it out and sell it on the street for money?
With money, he wouldn't be so down and out, and even ran to eat Bawang's meal.

Here is a brief explanation, not to mention whether this thing can be bought by people, even if someone buys it, how much can it sell for?And on this busy street, if I tell people about the health benefits of the heart-eating bee, can they pay attention to me?
Not much money is the second thing, and there is another reason, that is, if I want to integrate into the life of Yanjing first, I must find a breakthrough.

I have to put down roots here now.

The last reason is that I have always had a dream of opening a restaurant since I was a child. Before that, I was busy with my life, but it was too late to realize it. After that, I had to run around for my life, and it was even more impossible to realize it.

Now, it's a dream come true for me.

Sure enough, under the blessing of the mutton fried rice with added ingredients, the angry chef Lao Tu, who was holding a kitchen knife, looked a lot calmer, and the proprietress Na's brows relaxed after eating, Lao Tu took a look at the proprietress, and then Ask me: "Have you studied cooking before?"

I shook my head and said that I hadn't studied it systematically, but I had traveled all over the years, followed some masters, and learned a lot.

Xing'er, who was next to me, became more enthusiastic after tasting my handicraft, and asked me: "Walking around? Are you running around like you did just now?"

I laughed, told a little lie, and said yes, I have a craft, so I want to see more of this world while I am young.

Old Tu listened beside him, pondered for a while, and then suggested to the proprietress: "Madam proprietress, although it is only a dish, it can be seen that this kid is talented, and his knife skills are very neat, really powerful. You see, since After the boss left, our restaurant has been understaffed, and I was struggling in the kitchen, if this kid can come, I think we will be much more relaxed."

After he made the suggestion, he looked at the proprietress expectantly.

The unusually beautiful young woman stared at me for a while, and just asked a few questions about my basic situation, and I answered them all one by one.

Some of these answers were true or false, but the other party couldn't hear anything, and then she talked to me about the treatment.

As for me, I just want to settle down in Yanjing, so I don’t have any high requirements for the treatment or the like. It’s fine as a basic kitchen helper, but I put forward a condition, that is, I can return the meals. After the money, if you need to leave, you can leave at any time.

For this question, the proprietress did not refuse.

After all, the main reason why I stayed was to use my salary to pay for the Overlord's meal, and it was not a normal recruitment.

Then we signed a temporary employment contract, and then the proprietress checked my ID card, because she was not sure whether I was permanent, so she didn't go through other procedures for me.

The two agreed that if I was still here after two months, they would go and apply for a temporary residence permit and health certificate for me.

After completing the simple procedures, Lao Tu asked the proprietress for someone, and asked me to go to the kitchen to prepare dishes.

I followed Lao Tu to the kitchen, and I didn't take the lead right away. Instead, I listened, watched and learned more honestly. After all, Lao Tu's craftsmanship is really good.

Especially the pot of lamb scorpions, the taste is simply unique.

I am busy in the kitchen, and the heavy work of helping the kitchen is not difficult for a night walker. Whether it is the pre-processing of mutton or the cleaning of vegetables, I am under the command of Lao Tu and proceed in an orderly manner. And when there was no one outside, the waiter Xiaoliu and Xing'er also came to the back kitchen to help.

Among these people, apart from Xiaoliu who still had some suspicions about me, Lao Tu and Xing'er were very enthusiastic about my arrival.

Especially when I saw that I was doing a good job, after a while, I became very familiar with me.

Of course, this is also related to my work as a salesman.

Through communication, I learned that Lao Tu’s full name is Mandu Latu, a 45-year-old from NMG; Xiao Liu’s full name is Zhang Yang, the sixth eldest in his family, from Hebei, and 21 years old; as for Xing’er, her full name is Yang Xing, from AH, 17 years old.

The proprietress of our restaurant is named Liu Na, a native of Yanjing, her husband, the former boss, died in a car accident two months ago.

Once the former boss died, people in Hechengju, which was once very prosperous, suddenly panicked. In addition, a Pinhexuan diagonally opposite paid a lot of money to poach people. As a result, only three or two kittens were left in the huge restaurant.

The drastic changes in the family forced Liu Na, who usually had no worries about food and clothing, to stand up and take over the restaurant.

Hearing what Lao Tu and the others said, I finally understood the situation here and resolved my doubts. Time passed slowly, and it was evening before I knew it.

Seeing that guests are about to come, the old picture said, everyone, hurry up, there will be guests in a while, and I will get busy...

Before the words were finished, a fierce quarrel came from the restaurant, followed by a "bang", as if a table had been overturned.

When Lao Tu, who was busy making arrangements, heard that he chopped the bone knife viciously on the cutting board, he cursed angrily: "Fuck, these bastards, are you trying to force the orphans and widows to death?"

He scolded, but he didn't rush out with a knife like before.

I was a little surprised, what happened?
Old Tu bit his lip, shook his head and sighed, and said alas, let's not talk about it, it's hard for an upright official to break up housework...
