“Creak!”
As soon as the door made a sound, li Zhaodi, who was as silent as a statue, immediately stood up straight. Her eyes were fixed on the door where the sound came from, for fear of missing something.
Yuan Zhou pushed the door open and came out. Before he could even eat the rice, Romeo and the others felt a strong gaze on them. He raised his head and looked over. Instantly, he saw li Zhaodi.
Yuan Zhou wasn’t sure if they were looking for him, but he still said politely,””Are you looking for me? what’s the matter?”
Yuan Zhou was quite used to meeting people looking for him at the back door. First, it was the grandpa who sold mulberries. Then, an old lady came to buy egg fried rice for her daughter. Besides that, there were also some quick-witted and clever salespersons who would wait at the back door just to have a few more words with him.
They seemed to have a feeling that Yuan Zhou might agree to endorse their products or accept their invitation.
Yuan Zhou felt very confused. As a chef, he was the spokesperson of all kinds of shampoo and skin care products. Last time, he even came to a lipstick factory. This was very rare, because these things were almost all taken care of by the young fresh meat.
In fact, these manufacturers mainly wanted to use the selling point of “domestic honor” that Yuan Zhou had brought honor to the country previously.
Li Zhaodi didn’t have such complicated thoughts as Yuan Zhou. She was originally thinking about how to ask him, but she didn’t expect that Yuan Zhou would take the initiative to ask her. Then, she immediately walked over to him and stopped three steps away from him. The moment she stood still, she immediately opened her mouth and explained her purpose of coming here clearly like a machine gun.
“Hello, head chef Yuan. I’m Li Zhaodi. I’ve come here today to ask for your help. I heard that you have the most authentic bean chicken for sale, right? can you sell some to me?”
After saying that, li Zhaodi stared at Yuan Zhou with her big, bloodshot eyes. Her face was pale. To be honest, Yuan Zhou was very bold and it was the afternoon. Otherwise, he would probably think that he had met a female ghost in the middle of the night.
Probably because Yuan Zhou didn’t answer her for a while, li Zhaodi became a little anxious and immediately added,””I’ve asked many people and they all said that only head chef Yuan’s bean chicken has the taste of childhood. My daughter has been longing for this taste since childhood. Now, she can’t taste the taste of her childhood anymore.”
Yuan Zhou had encountered this situation many times. Not only Chinese, but also foreigners. Even the National treasure chefs in Singapore had the same feeling.
......
Yuan Zhou had already analyzed it. On the one hand, it was hard to surpass memory. On the other hand, the living environment at that time was tough, so the food would be more delicious.
There were also other factors. But why did so many people say that Yuan Zhou could restore it? The main thing was that his food was delicious.
“I want my daughter to have a taste of her childhood. I don’t know if you can help me. I can give you a lot of money.”
While saying that, li Zhaodi reached into her trouser pocket and took out a slightly old wallet. The edges of the wallet were already raised. Obviously, this wallet had been used for quite a long time. In a hurry, she forgot everything about Yuan Zhou that Tian Fang had told her, such as his craftsmanship, his money, his kindness, and so on. She only knew that she had to fulfill her daughter’s wish, no matter what price she had to pay.
It had been a long time since Yuan Zhou had been smashed by someone with money. However, he wasn’t unhappy when he saw the anxious look on li Zhaodi’s face. Yuan Zhou was willing to help a mother who was so considerate to her children, just like the old granny who loved her daughter as much as her life. He felt that if his mother were still alive, she would definitely care for him in the same way and try her best to fulfill his wish.
“It takes a long time to make this bean chicken. You’ll have to wait. You’d better go back and come back at night.” Yuan Zhou considered for a while and then said. When he saw li Zhaodi’s exhausted and anxious expression, he said directly,””Come back here at 5:30 in the afternoon. I’ll wait for you at the entrance. It’s 280 yuan for one serving. That’s enough.”
He was afraid that if he didn’t tell her what time it was, the slightly tired lady would probably wait for hours at his back door.
“Ah? Thank you, thank you, thank you, head chef Yuan. ”
Li Zhaodi was still thinking hard about what else she could say to get Yuan Zhou to agree with her, but he agreed to it all of a sudden. Her eyes glistened and she hurriedly bowed to thank him. At that time, she saw the tools and the garbage bag in Yuan Zhou’s hands and her eyes lit up. She immediately felt that she could repay him for what she had done.
“Head chef Yuan, are you going there to throw away the trash? give it to me. I know how to deal with it. Tian Fang has also told you about head chef Yuan’s habits. Don’t worry, just leave it to me. I guarantee that it will be the same as head chef Yuan going there personally.” Li Zhaodi looked at Yuan Zhou eagerly, hoping that he would agree.
There was nothing to be grateful for, but she was a professional in taking out garbage and cleaning trash cans. She had been in this industry for more than ten years and was very familiar with it. She was confident in this.
Upon hearing Tian Fang’s name, Yuan Zhou finally knew why li Zhaodi was waiting for him at the back door. He knew that Tian Fang was the sanitation worker in charge of Taoxi road. Although they didn’t have many chances to meet, they had developed a tacit understanding. After all, Yuan Zhou would clean the garbage near the trash can every time and Tian Fang would also come to the restaurant to eat a dish occasionally. He also knew that.
Looking at li Zhaodi’s enthusiastic and expectant expression, Yuan Zhou thought for a while and still handed the two things in his hands to her,””Then I’ll have to trouble you. I’ll go back and prepare to make bean chicken.”
Yuan Zhou felt that li Zhaodi would be happier if he could make this snack as soon as possible. As expected, when she heard Yuan Zhou’s words, li Zhaodi’s entire person became brighter.
To make the bean chicken, one needed to boil the soybean milk to form the oil skin. Therefore, the first thing Yuan Zhou did when he returned to the kitchen was to grind the soybean milk. Fortunately, he had already soaked the beans in the morning. This was the preparation work for the tofu banquet in the evening. He was supposed to start grinding the soybean milk in a while, but it was almost time to start now.
“Fortunately, I prepared a few catties of beans just in case. It seems that it’s just right.” Yuan Zhou observed the situation of the beans soaking for a while.
When he found it was ready, he immediately started to scoop it up and wash it with water. His actions were fast and rhythmic. When the beans were ready, Yuan Zhou began to wash the small stone mill.
Even though he used and washed the grinding stone every day, Yuan Zhou was still used to washing it again before he used it.
On the other side, li Zhaodi had already put the trash into the trash can. She took the small broom given by Yuan Zhou and began to do the work that Yuan Zhou did every day. She cleaned all the trash that was accidentally, indifferently or deliberately thrown outside the trash can and then poured them into the trash can.
“Brother Tian, it’s really good to have a resident like head chef Yuan here.” Li Zhaodi mumbled.
She was a sanitation worker of several streets near the field. She had been doing this job for many years and had never met a person like Yuan Zhou. Therefore, she was really envious. Moreover, he was very kind and talkative, which made her very jealous.
Of course, because too many things had happened in the past month and Tian Fang had also given her a lot of help, li Zhaodi felt embarrassed to continue being jealous of him. However, that didn’t prevent her from envying Tian Fang and admiring Yuan Zhou.
Li Zhaodi was naturally familiar with doing things that she was used to doing. She finished her work very quickly and returned to the back door with the small broom. After she placed everything in the place Yuan Zhou had mentioned before, she didn’t go back to rest as he had told her to. Instead, she continued to stand at the corner of the wall and wait.
Of course, he still couldn’t forget to take out the latest fruit phone from time to time to take a look, probably because he was afraid of losing it.
