Chapter 75 I ate too much without realizing it
Chapter 75 I ate too much without realizing it
Although Jiang Wei likes to play, he has strong execution ability.
The next morning, I went to the farm early and bought two rabbits. Then I went to Jiang Dad's vegetable garden and picked a lot of vegetables. I went back to the hotel and asked the chef to try to cook them. There are only a few ways to cook rabbit, so the chef made a braised rabbit.
Jiang Wei called early and asked his family to try the first dish.
So at noon, everyone who could come came.
Jiang Ning also called Feng Yu and Feng Xue, so there were eight people in his family.
There were too many people and no room to fit, so Jiang Ning and his family sat in a private room.
The braised rabbit was served, a very big plate.
The plate was bigger than the cooking pot at home and it was full to the brim.
But if you look closely, there is actually not much meat in a large plate of braised rabbit, most of it is other side dishes. This is also a feature of today's catering industry. In order to reduce costs, there are more potatoes than meat in a large plate of chicken, otherwise the boss will lose a lot of money.
Jiang Wei came in and greeted everyone, asking them to start eating.
Then he went to the next box.
Jiang Youxin ate a piece of rabbit meat and praised it, "It's very well cooked."
Zhang Yulan also ate a piece and said, "Of course, he is a great chef after all."
Jiang Ning ate a piece and asked Feng Yu: "What do you think?"
Feng Yu also nodded: "Very well done."
Jiang Ning didn't want to go against his conscience and said, "What's good about it? I feel like it's not as good as the braised rabbit made by my aunt on the construction site. It's full of the flavor of the seasoning. If I didn't know, I wouldn't be able to tell it's rabbit, I'd think it's chicken!"
After hearing this, Jiang Hua and Chen Huiru were no longer in a hurry to express their opinions.
Feng Yu wanted to know, but quickly held back and said, "I think it's pretty good."
Jiang Ning gave a fair evaluation: "It can't be said to be bad, but it's definitely not good either. It's no different from what's served in other restaurants. These chefs cook the same dishes, the only difference is whether they are braised or stewed. To be honest, any chef can make something like this. It's far inferior to my stir-fried rabbit."
Feng Xue was a little embarrassed; she was not used to being praised.
Just lower your head and eat.
Jiang Youxin and Zhang Yulan both nodded in agreement after hearing this.
Jiang Hua and Chen Huiru also seconded the motion.
This is true. The dishes cooked by Feng Xue are indeed unique and definitely impressive. After Feng Yu and Jiang Ning got engaged, sometimes on weekends when Feng Yu has no classes, he would cook with his sister and invite everyone over for a meal.
Zhang Yulan and Chen Huiru have also studied the dishes cooked by Feng Xue.
But cooking requires talent, no matter how hard you try it's always lacking in flavor.
People who are not picky can’t tell the difference.
If you pick it with your mouth, you can feel the difference.
After chatting for a few words, Jiang Wei came in and sat down.
I asked for everyone's opinions.
Of course no one said it was bad, everyone said it was good.
Eat and drink until everyone else has left.
Jiang Ning and Jiang Hua stayed, and Jiang Ze didn't leave either.
Jiang Wei asked someone to clean up the box, made a pot of tea, and then the brothers talked behind closed doors.
I know it’s not good to say bad things to elders in person.
Even if it's not satisfactory, I will only say it's good.
But the brothers have nothing to worry about.
Jiang Wei asked: "What happened? Tell me everything now."
Jiang Zexian said: "It's OK, but I think it doesn't have any special features. It's just like eating big plate chicken or big plate goose. After a long time, I will eat it when I think of it, but I think it's difficult to attract regular customers with this."
Jiang Wei sighed, "I don't think it has any special features either. Nowadays, all chefs cook the same dishes. Even if there are differences in skills, they are not much different. The only difference is the cooking method. The few restaurants that serve rabbit dishes now all use rabbits from farms, but their costs are higher than mine. A high-quality braised rabbit costs 188 yuan. How about I set the price at 128 yuan to start a price war?"
Jiang Ze nodded: "Price is also an advantage."
Jiang Ning said, "Raising the price is not a long-term solution. You still need to have your own unique features to keep people talking."
Jiang Wei said, "I want to, but it's easy to say, but it's not that easy to do. Nowadays, restaurants either work hard on decoration or study the variety of dishes. Each restaurant has its own characteristics, but in fact, none of them have their own characteristics."
Jiang Hua told the truth: "The stir-fried rabbit made by Feng Xue is delicious. You can make it too."
Jiang Wei was surprised: "Feng Xue?"
Jiang Hua nodded: "The food cooked by Feng Xue is delicious, better than outside."
Jiang Wei looked at Jiang Ning and asked, "How do you make stir-fried rabbit? What's the difference between stir-fried and dry-fried?"
Jiang Ning said: "There is a big difference. The dry-fried ones are made purely by squeezing oil, which is like squeezing chicken. There is no meat taste at all. The stir-fried rabbit is stir-fried over high heat. I can't explain how it is made. I have no interest in being a chef, but Feng Xue's dishes are indeed delicious."
Jiang Ze said, "You and Feng Yu haven't invited us to dinner yet. When are you going to invite us to your house for dinner?"
Jiang Ning said: "Then in the afternoon."
Jiang Wei added: "Let's eat the stir-fried rabbit. I want to see how good it is."
Jiang Ning called Feng Yu and said, "Brother Ze and Brother Wei want to go to my house for dinner this afternoon. Can you ask me if I have time?"
Feng Yu exclaimed, "You have time, what do you want to eat?"
Jiang Ning said, "Let's make some stir-fried rabbit, but don't make too much."
Feng Yu agreed, said a few words and hung up.
In the afternoon, Jiang Ze and Jiang Wei took their wives and children to Building 28 for dinner.
This is not Jiang Ning's house, so it would be inappropriate for both of them to come empty-handed.
Everyone carried a box of drinks, as long as it wasn't empty.
Jiang Wei often stays up late and runs around. He is not fat, so climbing to the sixth floor is no problem for him.
Jiang Ze was too fat and was already out of breath when he reached the fourth floor.
Jiang Wei also laughed at him: "You eat and sleep all day long. If you don't lose weight, you will become fat like a pig sooner or later."
Jiang Ze hit him: "You bastard, you dare to scold me."
Jiang Wei took a big step to distance himself from him: "That bastard Jiang Ning dared to hit me, what's wrong with me scolding him!"
After reaching the sixth floor, the two brothers regained their composure.
I knocked on the door and entered the room. Jiang Ning opened the door.
Feng Yu and Feng Xue also came out from the kitchen to greet them.
Jiang Ning asked them to sit on the sofa in the living room, and Feng Yu poured them some tea. After a few words, he went to the kitchen to help Feng Xue.
The two sisters-in-law went over to take a look, then came back and sat on the sofa.
After chatting for half an hour, the meal was ready.
Feng Yu brought out the dishes and her two sisters-in-law hurried over to help.
Jiang Ze and Jiang Wei didn't sit down either. They got up to find work to do, such as helping to get chopsticks and clean up cups.
I have to say, my two cousins are really good people.
There is nothing to say about the courtesy and politeness.
The dishes were brought out and arranged, and the coffee table was almost full.
Jiang Ning said it was a simpler thing, but how could Feng Yu be simple?
It was the first time for the two cousins to visit, and they came empty-handed.
How can this be simple?
There are eight hot and cold dishes, four cold and four hot, which is quite rich.
In addition to stir-fried rabbit, Feng Xue also made stir-fried lamb.
This is also a signature dish and one of Jiang Ning’s favorites.
The dining table is too small to accommodate so many people.
They sat around the coffee table, exchanged a few polite words, and started eating.
Jiang Wei tasted a piece of rabbit meat and chewed it slowly.
Although he didn't say anything, his facial expression was very rich.
Jiang Ze was almost the same, but his two sisters-in-law couldn't bear it.
Everyone praised Feng Xue for her delicious cooking.
This is not just a polite remark, it is a sincere compliment.
Jiang Wei tasted a piece of mutton and his expression became even more expressive.
It's really eye-opening to see that mutton can be cooked like this.
He loves food and is a restaurant owner.
Jiang Wei had eaten stir-fried lamb before, but the lamb sliced and fried with vegetables like celery and green pepper was completely different from the stir-fried lamb made by Feng Xue, just like Kung Pao Chicken and Da Pan Chicken.
The mutton is very tender and has a unique flavor.
But Jiang Wei couldn't understand why the fried lamb was so tender.
The mutton and beef were overcooked.
Unless it’s pickled.
But the marinated lamb has too strong a seasoning flavor, it’s not the right flavor.
I could just barely tell it was mutton.
But it doesn't have that unique lamb aroma.
Tried the other dishes and I have to admit, they were all good.
The seasoning is not heavy, but it is delicious.
I thought Jiang Ning was bragging, but now it seems he is not bragging.
Feng Yu, the mute sister, is really good at cooking.
After eating and drinking, the two sisters-in-law helped to bring the food to the kitchen.
Jiang Wei and others sat and chatted for a while, then stood up and said goodbye.
Arrived downstairs.
Jiang Wei sighed: "Jiang Ning is so lucky. Not only did he get married for free, but he also got a sister-in-law who is so good at cooking. Wow, how come all the good things happen to that boy?"
Sun Mei asked him, "Are you envious?"
Jiang Wei: “…”
Jiang Ze continued: "Although Feng Xue's dishes are good, they are all home-cooked dishes. Catering is different. You have to cater to the tastes of the public. People nowadays are very picky. You have to cater to the tastes of most people in order to have business."
Sun Mei said, "I think Feng Xue's cooking is quite to my taste. If restaurants can make dishes that taste like that, I won't have to cook at home anymore and can eat in restaurants every day."
Jiang Ze nodded. "The food in the restaurant is too greasy and full of seasonings. It's okay for one or two meals, but if you eat it every day, you'll get angry easily. I didn't plan to eat in the afternoon. I just wanted to have a few bites, but I didn't expect that the stir-fried lamb meat would make me want to eat more and more. I ate too much without realizing it. This is bullshit. I have to go walk five kilometers later, otherwise I will gain two kilograms of weight tomorrow."
Jiang Wei was so happy: "You might as well stop eating and just drink cold water every day."
Jiang Ze rubbed his belly and was quite happy: "The key is that I can gain weight even if I drink cold water!"
……
Building No. 301, room opposite is still making some clanging noises.
It's already seven o'clock, and the workers are still working overtime.
Jiang Ning and Feng Yu went in to take a look and brought some fruits.
Another person gave me a pack of cigarettes before I went to room 302 opposite.
Young people have strong energy and they exercise every day. Unlike after they reach 30, their health starts to decline and they feel worse day by day. Young people in their twenties are like dragons and tigers and they may have sex seven times a night.
Anyway, Jiang Ning won’t be weak after three or five times.
Not to mention that his physique is different from that of ordinary people.
That staying power...
Feng Yu's needs were not strong, basically once every three to five days. She couldn't compare with a woman in her thirties. She couldn't bear doing physical work every day. The key point was that Jiang Ning was like an animal, and he would toss and turn for half an hour at a time. It was really unbearable.
Every time I finish, I am so tired that I don’t want to move.
I need to rest for half a day to recover.
After this incident.
Feng Yu was a little depressed: "Why are you so troublesome? I can't stand you anymore."
"This……"
Jiang Ning was speechless for a moment. It is said that there is always only the tired cow.
Is there no field that has been spoiled?
Why is it that the field I own is not resistant to cultivation? What's the reason?
