Zhang Zhengyi didn't believe that Bai Lu could be carved so quickly. Don't look at the walnuts he picked up just now and carved them, but last night, the old man studied and studied the walnuts with them, and put a lot of effort into it. And Bai Lu is the first time to see this walnut, it takes a lot of time just to conceive, how can he be faster than himself?

But Bai Lu had already stopped, Zhang Zhengyi glanced at it questionably, followed by another look, stopped what he was doing, picked up Bai Lu's walnuts and looked at them carefully, looked at them for at least five minutes, and sighed: "Old man." Put away the two walnuts and the kitchen knife, he didn't compare.

Bai Lu said loudly: "The old man walks slowly. ”

"Who said I was leaving?" Zhang Zhengyi walked into the kitchen.

"What else do you want to do?"

"Carving walnuts is just a small skill, being a chef, the main test is the mastery of heat, I want to compare cooking with you. ”

Bai Lu half-opened his mouth and looked over with an upward gaze: "Old man, you are so shameless. ”

"Do you say that about the elders?" the old man changed from the pride he was when he first entered the store, and became like the grandfather next door, but he was still a little serious.

There was a wall clock on the wall, without a shell or dial, dressed like a dead branch, the thickest and shortest branch pointing at the eleventh position.

Bai Lu glanced up: "Old man, I'm going to open, let's not toss it?"

"What is a toss? As a cook, you should be sincere, serve the Tao by example, perseverance is the same, as the old saying goes, governing a big country should be like cooking Xiaoxian, in the same way, we should cook Xiaoxian as seriously as governing the country, how can we toss, how can it be toss?......" The old man opened his eyebrows and gushed endlessly.

"I'm better!" Bai Lu couldn't stand it anymore, and would rather go cook than listen to Zhang Zhengyi: "Than what?"

"Egg fried rice. "It is estimated that I have watched a lot of chef movies, and Zhang Zhengyi has a lot of awareness of movie roles.

Bai Lu sighed: "I'm embarrassed, wait for twenty minutes." ”

"Why do you have to wait twenty minutes?"

"Cook!" Bai Lu snorted angrily and returned to the kitchen, his heart said that the outside world is too difficult to mix, and everything has to be considered, it is still simple in the desert, and the fist is big.

Zhang Zhengyi was obviously deceived by the movie, and seriously suggested: "Fried rice should be used overnight." ”

"Which teacher taught you? The emperor wants to eat egg fried rice, who dares to cook it overnight? "Bai Lu can be regarded as seizing the opportunity to vent his anger.

"You!" Zhang Zhengyi knows the origin of Lu Dao egg fried rice, the legend is that the emperor of the Sui Dynasty carried it forward, and he didn't know what to say if he wanted to debate. I could only follow the kitchen angrily, but was stopped by Bai Lu: "Change clothes, bring hats, gloves, and masks." ”

"What are you doing without gloves and masks. Zhang Zhengyi was angry.

"The restaurant is mine!" Bai Lu went to wash rice.

Zhang Zhengyi took a step back, stood at the door of the kitchen and looked in: "What kind of rice are you using? The rice is not right, the taste is definitely not right, the best rice for Yangzhou fried rice is Baican rice." ”

Bai Lu was completely helpless: "Your old man is looking for a big pick to graduate?"

"What? I didn't go to college. Zhang Zhengyi didn't understand.

"Find fault with the university, find fault with the major. "Wash the rice, put it in the rice cooker, plug it in, and press the switch.

Only then did the old man react, and the kid dared to tease me? Continue to find fault persistently: "If you want to make high-quality fried rice, you can't use a rice cooker, you have to use a dry firewood cauldron, and you can't use tap water......

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Bai Lu: "Old man, what kind of high-quality fried rice do I make in my small restaurant." ”

"You, spoil the art of food!" the old man began to button his hat.

"Stop talking nonsense, don't you drink water?"

"Tea. "Zhang Zhengyi is cool.

Bailu is even cooler: "No! There is only plain water and tap water, you can choose one of the two." ”

The two of them were arguing seriously, and the melodious sound of the bamboo flute suddenly sounded outside the door, which was very good, and in the noisy crowd and traffic noise in the downtown area, it could go straight up leisurely, enter the hotel, and send it into the ears of the two.

Zhang Shasha looked out through the glass door, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, very short, dressed in sloppy clothes, his hair was also messy, with a small schoolbag hanging on his chest, holding a horizontal flute in both hands, blowing as he walked.

It is worth noting that he is a cripple, one leg is obviously thin, and he is probably worried that he will be mistaken for pretending to cheat money, and the lame trousers are pulled up high, revealing thin black calves, which is in stark contrast to healthy legs.

The young man walked and dragged, just like Gu Long did when he described Fu Hongxue, walking very slowly, but he was always moving forward and never stopped.

He doesn't beg, he just plays the flute.

Pedestrians rushed over one by one, or ten dollars, and stuffed the money into the bag on his chest.

The young man did not speak, but bowed to every good person who was willing to help him, and every time someone gave money, he bowed, and the flute kept sounding, playing "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai".

"It's a good blow. Rustle whispered.

Bai Lu looked out, just in time to see the strong figure of the young man, looked back at the rice cooker, and instructed the leopard: "You go and call the flute player, and say that he will invite him to dinner at noon, no, you tell him, I will ask him to play a flute, and the reward is lunch." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Zhengyi's always serious face suddenly melted like a spring breeze melting ice, and he nodded with a smile: "You are good." ”

Bai Lu was depressed: "I was wrong to use you to say, why do you always stand on the supreme evaluation and judge others?"

After saying this, he resolutely ignored Zhang Zhengyi, went to the refrigerator to turn out the chicken, duck and fish, and made a serious meal of four cold, four hot, four meat and four vegetarian dishes.

Zhang Zhengyi did not give up, as a high-achieving student who was "looking for a big", how could he admit defeat so easily, and persuaded Bai Lu: "Isn't it a little too rich?

Bai Lu was completely convinced: "When did I say that these were made for him?"

Hearing the leopard's intention, the boy bowed to him and thanked him, stopped in place and finished playing a song before slowly walking towards the hotel. When he arrived at the door, he resolutely refused to come in, saying that he was afraid of soiling the restaurant.

"What's dirty? Come in. Bai Lu shouted in the kitchen, and shouted to the leopard: "Take him to the bathroom to wash his face and hands, wash it, and your bonus today is 100 yuan." ”

As soon as he heard that there was money to be made, the leopard took the boy into the bathroom as if he had kidnapped him.

At this time, there were many people queuing up outside the door, and when they saw a person asking for food entering the restaurant, someone whispered: "Why did he get in?

Someone shouted protested: "He didn't line up." ”

Bai Lu shouted back: "If you are like him, you don't have to queue up." ”

Five minutes later, the boy came out, and Bai Lu asked, "What do you want to eat?"

The boy winced a little and whispered, "Anything." ”

"Hurry up and order, after eating, go to the door and play a song. Bai Lu treated him like an ordinary person.

The boy hesitated: "Fish." ”

"Order another one. ”

"Beef. ”

"Okay, wait. "The stove was blazing, and the smoke was bursting out, and the smell of the dishes was also bursting.

Zhang Zhengyi stared at it, nodding as he watched: "Not bad, not bad, the basic skills are good, the work is also neat, and it is clean, where did you graduate?"

Bai Lu wants to bite someone, how can this old man be as angry as Gao Yuan?

Fifteen minutes later, a large bowl of fragrant rice, a dish of fish in sauce, and a plate of roasted pork were placed in front of the young man.

The young man was a little moved, in the days of wandering, people often invited him to dinner, but he was treated like a normal guest like today, and he served him wholeheartedly.

The boy said thank you.

Bai Lu came over with chopsticks and a spoon from the automatic chopstick machine: "Eat slowly, don't rush." ”

The automatic chopstick machine is a newly added device with a disinfection function. Bai Lu didn't like disposable chopsticks, so he bought one.

He also doesn't like plastic bags and foam lunch boxes, so he buys a batch of insulated lunch boxes with handles and uses them to pack and bring rice. There is only one point, customers who pack home have to pay a deposit of 100 yuan.

Although Bai Lu asked him to eat slowly, the young man refused, and the two fish and a plate of meat were all eaten in five minutes. After eating, take the initiative to clean up the table.

Bai Lu stopped: "Where to put it, rest for a while, you have to play the flute in a while." ”

Sha Sha brought over a glass of water, the young man took it, and thanked him repeatedly: "Xie Lu Xie, Xie Lu Xie." ”

Bai Lu took out two hundred yuan and handed it to the young man: "Is it okay to play more songs for a while?"

"Yes, yes, Xie Lu Xie, I can't ask you for money anymore. The boy waved his hand and didn't take it.

Bai Lu didn't speak, and stuffed the money into his school bag.

The leopard cleaned up the dishes and bowls used by the teenager and took them back to the kitchen to be cleaned. Bai Lu walked over: "Your bonus." "A hundred dollars by the sink.

The leopard looked at the money, and then at the lame boy in the restaurant. Speed up, quickly brush the dishes and put them in the sterilizer. Then I grabbed the money and stuffed it into my old bag together.

The boy thanked him again and again.

To be fair, the teenager earns at least hundreds of dollars a day, and for him, a hundred yuan is really nothing. But someone is willing to treat him fairly, this is the most rare, and he is naturally grateful.

At this time, Bai Lu was making egg fried rice in the kitchen.

Put out a plate of freshly cooked rice, break it up and put it in the refrigerator to freeze. Then beat the eggs and stir. After 20 minutes, remove the rice and stir-fry.

Very simple steps, turn on the heat, pour the oil, scramble the eggs. Stir-fry the rice, then add the eggs, salt, chopped green onions, and the egg fried rice is ready. There are no other excipients.

The old man glared at him: "You are fried rice?"

Bai Lu didn't reply, took out the fried rice, put it in front of the old man's eyes, turned around and left.

Zhang Zhengyi was very angry, you are perfunctory to me! shouted: "Prepare food." "He's going to show Bai Lu what fried rice is.

Bai Lu glanced at the leopard and asked him to serve the old man. The leopard had to go to the kitchen and ask, "What kind of dishes?"

"Of course, it's fried rice ingredients, Jinhua ham, scallops, shrimp, shiitake mushrooms, ......"

The leopard turned his head to look at Bai Lu as if listening to a book from heaven: "Do we have it?"

Bai Lu coughed: "Old man, put aside the spoiling of things, taste the food I cooked first, I think it's not delicious." Say to the leopard, "Take chopsticks." ”
