Food starts from cooking

Chapter 96 Your classmate is not easy (please subscribe!)
"Really delicious!"

Xiao Qinghe was full of satisfaction after taking a bite, her big eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

“The key is that the meat is good!”

Zhou Youdao: "Normal growth of cattle, these parts suitable for grilling, even if they don't need to be marinated, they still taste good!"

And you can know the quality of the meat by looking at the color of the meat. If heavy ingredients are used, it will affect the taste of the beef.

So here are generally dipping sauces for guests to choose.

Zhou You conveniently took some spices from the side and put them on the stone, which was used to increase the fragrance. The leaves of the spices were pasted on the hot stone, and they instantly turned brown, but at the same time, an intoxicating aroma spread out.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou You sprinkled some wine on it, the aroma of the wine was mixed with the smell of fragrant leaves, and through the beef, a strange smell of meat came out, and the surrounding barbecues could obviously smell it too.

"smell good!"

"Yeah, yeah, I smell it too!"

"What does it taste like!"

"It's barbecue!"

"No way, aren't we also grilling meat? Why doesn't it taste like others!"

The barbecue guy next to him couldn't help sniffing around, and finally smelled the source of the aroma, and poked his friend: "Hey, over there!"

"The scent comes from that table!"

"Well, it seems to be true!"

"Wow, what a handsome guy!"

"Tsk tsk, big beauty!"

The configuration of Zhou You's table is not too outrageous, after all, he still has a child, otherwise he would really be envied by others. Of course, this is also related to Zhou You's outstanding performance.

It is just as natural for a handsome guy to have a beautiful girl around him as it is for a beautiful girl to have a handsome guy around him.

"Look at him, he is giving his girlfriend a barbecue!"

The girl poked her boyfriend next to her and said angrily.

The man said: "How do you know it's your girlfriend? Didn't you see that there are children around her? Maybe they're all married!"

The girl snorted, curled her lips and said, "You are so handsome, will you marry early?"

The man said: "That depends on who you are with. If you are with you, get married as soon as possible!"

The girl was taken aback for a moment, then smiled sweetly, hugged her boyfriend's arm and began to act like a baby.

There were a lot of such secret talks, but some of them took action and called the waiter directly: "Why is their barbecue different from ours!"

Several people at the same table also said: "Yes, yes, why theirs is more fragrant than ours!"

The smell of meat is very familiar. Everyone is grilling meat, not a box, so they can smell it, but in this same type of meat smell that can be smelled, a more intense and attractive aroma begins to appear. The original meat Fragrant, it becomes not so outstanding.

The waiter also had a dazed look on his face, and he raised his nose and twitched, really!

only……

Where did she know about this kind of thing, she could only give the guest an embarrassed smile: "Let me ask for you!"

"This stone has obviously not been treated. It is best to soak it in alcohol or rub it with spices. Of course, it can be done at home. This kind of barbecue restaurant is open to the public, so some people can't touch it with alcohol, or smell it. Certain spices are not allowed, so raw pebbles are best!"

"However, no matter how good the quality of the meat is, if it is not processed, it will still not be perfect. This is not a shortcoming. After all, everyone has different tastes. Some people like garlic, while others like braised..."

Zhou You babbled while grilling the meat, and didn't stop until the waiter's younger sister came to ask.

On the contrary, Liu Qingyao chuckled: "Don't ask me, this scent is something most people can't make!"

Seeing the waiter's little sister scratching her head, Liu Qingyao continued, "It's a technical problem!"

The waiter's little sister suddenly realized, and she really replied.

The face of the person grilling meat on the table next to him turned black.

Girl, why are you so upright?
And at this moment, a boy at the same table kept staring at Zhou You for a while, his eyes widened, and he got up quickly.

"Travel around?"

Zhou You was taken aback when his name was called, and looked up at the source of the voice.

It was a young man of medium height with a square face. Judging by his age, he should be around 25 or [-] years old. He had a short cut, which was a little familiar!
"Xu Jie?"

"Fuck, it's really you!"

When his name was called, Xu Jie slapped his thigh with joy.

The two are classmates in high school, and they are still in the same class. The most important thing is that they were still in Huating when they were in college, but Zhou You went to the Conservatory of Music, and Xu Jie studied in Ocean University. Because they were both in Huating, so when they were on vacation , the two still get together from time to time, or walk together when they go home!
It's just that we lost contact later.

"Sit down!"

Zhou You is also a little happy. After all, it is fate to meet an old classmate in a different place, and he is also a fellow.

Liu Qingyao leaned closer to Yang Qingning, making room for Xu Jie.

When old classmates meet, naturally they talk a lot.

"By the way, what are you doing now after graduating from college?"

"In my hometown, I opened a homestay!"

"B&B?" Xu Jie was taken aback for a moment, then sighed, "It's better for you art lovers to play!"

"And you!"

"I was still in school. When I was in the ocean, I thought I might not find a job when I came out, so I continued to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Now I am in Pengda University, and I will graduate in a month!" Xu Jie said helplessly: "I was afraid that I chose the wrong major at the beginning. Yes, I chose agriculture, and it is difficult to find a job these years, and I don’t know what to do!”

agriculture?

Zhou You had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought of pearl rice, and those fish fry, and there should be other crops in the future. These things are fine for him to eat, but there must be an explanation for them to go on the market. Isn’t this a coincidence?

"Then what do you think?"

"Hey, I can't say for sure. In fact, my own thoughts... I have already contacted our city half a year ago. There are subsidies for talent introduction. I am still qualified. If there is no job in the city, the county agricultural bureau can take care of it. , It's just that... the purpose of reading so many books was to go to the big city, but now it seems that I have to go back!"

Yang Qingning interjected and said, "It's not bad to go back and build our hometown!"

She spoke Longshi dialect, Xu Jie was taken aback: "My fellow?"

Zhou You smiled: "Second middle school girl, she is one level younger than us! Yang Qingning!"

Xu Jie looked surprised: "Fuck!" He was even happier.

He added: "Sister Yang Xue is right, I'm just a little bit unwilling, but the most important issue is... I have a girlfriend here!"

Xu Jie scratched his head and coughed dryly: "She is from Sucheng, I'm afraid she won't come to Longshi with me!"

This is a problem. After all, Long City is located in the northwest. Even if it has the reputation of Longshang Jiangnan, it is located in Jiangnan!

But Liu Qingyao said: "Did you ask someone?"

Xu Jie shook his head.

Liu Qingyao continued: "You didn't even ask, how do you know that people don't want it!"

Xu Jie was taken aback for a moment, yes, he didn't even ask, why did he think she was unwilling!
Seeing Xu Jie passing by, the people next to him even sat down, and because they were so close, they still heard some words.

classmate?

fellow?

It was probably because the meat at Zhou You's side was too fragrant, so a few people came over here.

Xu Jie made a brief introduction. These six or seven people are all graduate students of Pengda University. The features are obvious.

In addition to this pair, there are two other pairs, and a single dog.

And this time it was Zhang Yang and his wife who were treating guests to dinner.

"I'm graduating soon, thinking about getting married on October [-]!"

That's it!

Zhou You glanced at Zhang Yang's girlfriend, who seemed to be pregnant. She got married and had children after graduation, and she was considered a winner in life.

"No wonder, your skills are amazing. I thought that if you opened a barbecue restaurant, we would come to eat every day!"

"Yeah, yeah, I smelled it all over the side. I thought the meat was delicious. Unfortunately, after smelling the meat from your side, I suddenly felt that our grilled meat was tasteless!"

After a simple understanding, Liu Qingyao suddenly said, "Get married on the eleventh, have you found a hotel yet?"

Zhang Yang smiled wryly: "Not yet. I've been very busy recently. One is my graduation thesis, and the other is...there are too many things about marriage. We have our own ideas, and the families of both parties have their own ideas. It's very annoying!"

Xu Jie said: "Then it's better to push back!"

Zhang Yang coughed dryly, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "I can't push it anymore, Huihui is already pregnant!"

"Fuck!"

"Fuck, when did it happen!"

Everyone really didn't know about this matter, but it was really shocking when it came out of Zhang Yang's mouth. For a while, everyone started to congratulate.

"Hey, speaking of it, we've been sleeping on bunk beds for several years, I didn't expect you..."

Xu Jie put his arms around Zhang Yang, beaming with joy.

Liu Qingyao smiled and said, "You two have a good relationship!"

Xu Jie nodded and said: "Of course, Zhang Yang is a local, and I am an outsider, especially this is the first time I came to a southern seaside city. He helped me a lot, and when I was studying in graduate school, I lived in Together, I was wondering if we could get married together!"

Liu Qingyao suddenly realized that she should have asked her all the questions, and she got the answer she wanted to know. She smiled and said, "October [-]st is so fast, otherwise you can just get married in this hotel!"

here?

Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "How is it possible? Marriott is very famous in our local area. Marriage, education, teacher appreciation, etc. are all handled by Marriott. If you want to make a reservation, you usually have to make a reservation half a year in advance. !"

and……

Marriott spends a lot!
Liu Qingyao smiled and said, "Isn't that a coincidence? I can also be regarded as a small boss of Marriott, but the real boss is my uncle. You are Xu Jie's good friend, and Xu Jie is Zhou You's old classmate. If you haven't chosen a hotel yet , it just so happens that Marriott will reserve a room for you!"

Zhang Yang looked surprised, of course, let alone him, the other students were all shocked.

Holy crap, this is Marriott's little boss?

I heard that this building is owned by Marriott, this little boss...

Nima is so rich!
Zhang Yang came back to his senses, glanced at Xu Jie, and saw that he also looked shocked, and then looked at Zhou You, who was feeding beef to Xiao Qinghe at this time, and seemed to have not heard Liu Qingyao's words.

He took a deep breath and said, "This...will it be too troublesome!"

"No trouble, such a big hotel usually reserves a few rooms for emergency use, if you want to get married here, you can call this number!"

Liu Qingyao took out a business card from her bag and handed it to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang quickly thanked him and put the card away carefully!

It's almost eaten, and it's too late, Xiao Qinghe is obviously sleepy.

"Xu Jie, I run a homestay in my hometown, but I also have some agricultural matters. If you come back, send me a message. I have something to talk to you about!"

"Row!"

Zhou You four left.

It's just that Zhang Yang and the others were stunned.

After a long time, he said, "Xu Jie, your classmate..."

Xu Jie smiled wryly: "I don't know either, but...Zhou You grew up handsome since he was a child, and he still studied art. There are indeed many girls around him!"

Zhang Yang rolled his eyes and said, "You really think it's that simple!"

"You are not from Pengcheng, you don't know, who is the boss of Marriott? That is Liu Jianguo, you have heard about the matter of Yipin Building this afternoon, the old man is Liu Jianguo's father, Liu's family is in Pengcheng, the relationship The network is very huge, who among the people on it has never eaten the food cooked by Mr. Liu!"

"We were busy in the afternoon and didn't go. I heard from the students who went that the scene was very lively and there were many famous people there!"

"This is for sure. The reason why I said this is to let you understand the identity of this Liu Qingyao. What kind of handsome guy do you need for this kind of person?" Zhang Yang said, reminding Xu Jie: "You Students, it's not easy!"

……

"I have to go tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow? So soon?" Liu Qingyao frowned and said, "How about...wait for a few more days!"

Seven days is the deadline for grandpa, Liu Qingyao thought that Zhou You would stay until this matter was over!
Zhou You shook his head: "No, I don't want to see this kind of scene, and I stay here, you have to follow me all the time, it's the last few days, please spend more time with Liu Lao!"

While speaking, the notification tone finally sounded!
[Congratulations to the player for completing the random mission and reward Pengwan No. [-]! 】

house?

Zhou You was stunned, but he didn't expect that the reward this time was so big, and it was from Pengcheng. It's a pity that he was about to return to Longshi, so he was rewarded. But next time he comes to Pengcheng, he will have a place to live up.

But I don't know when I can come next time.

Zhou You thought for a while, then put his hand into his pocket, and sure enough, there was a key!
"this is for you!"

"This is?"

"The key to the No. [-] house in Pengwan. I don't know when I'm leaving Pengcheng this time. Please help me to check it from time to time!"

In case there is a water and electricity problem, there will be someone here to take care of it!

Liu Qingyao: ...

Good guy, you said you came to Pengcheng for the first time, but now you suddenly took out a key to a house, and it was the house at No. [-] Pengwan!

"Don't tell me this is another gift from someone else!"

Zhou You: ...

Regarding the matter of the old man, the Liu family was going to take a big price as a thank you gift, but Zhou You confiscated it in the end and refused for a long time. Later, Liu Qingyao didn't know what to say to Liu Jianguo, so the matter was put on hold for now.

Now that Zhou You took out a house, if someone else gave it to him, then Liu Qingyao would be really unhappy.

Zhou You had no choice but to say: "What is the relationship between the two of us, and what is the relationship between others and me!"

Well, it was given by someone else!

But Zhou You's words were in Liu Qingyao's heart.

Isn't this saying that if you take something, you can clear it up!

"When I'm done here, I'll go to your place to relax!"

……

The next day, Zhou You went to see Mr. Liu for the last time, and then flew directly to Xijing by plane. After the night was dark, he finally returned to Longshi. When he came out, he parked the Cadillac in the community, so it happened to be You can drive back.

But Yang Qingning didn't follow Zhou You back to Lingqu this time. After all, she had been out for a few days, and her family must be worried.

And this time...

Over here in Lingqu Village, in the wandering house, a group of people are sitting or laying down bored in every possible way!
"Hey, I suddenly realized that Zhou You is gone, and the fun is gone!"

"Yeah, there's no taste in my mouth. It's been a few days, why haven't I come back yet!"

"I'm the worst!"

Song Qian was very upset. When she came to Lingqu Village, she only had one banquet. According to the saying, Zhou You would also cook it when she was at home, but she didn't eat it.

The most important thing is, if this continues, her time is up.

"Should be back soon!"

"Believe it too, he must have gone out to play!"

"I've seen Yang Qingning's play photos!"

"At least you are still there, isn't Tong Yang gone?"

Speaking of this, Song Qian immediately lost her mind: "Can I compare with others? They come and leave whenever they want, and they are not restricted. When the work over there is over, people can come even if they don't participate in "Longing for Life" Let's play here!"

Tong Yang left because of those songs. After all, "On the Road" is about to be released, so he left to record songs. When it's over, whether he comes back depends on his own wishes. After all, although he has a brokerage company, He has been doing whatever he wants, and the company can't control him.

I was complaining here, and suddenly the sound of the car engine sounded.

Li Hang, who was lying on the table, suddenly sat up: "I'm back!"

"I'll go, can you hear this?"

"Of course, Cadillac's engine is hard to recognize? It smells like essential oil!"

Li Hang said that he had already ran out, and the others quickly followed.

"I'm going, really!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Li Hangzhikai and others hurried over to help carry the luggage, and Xiao Qinghe was greeted like a princess.

Although it is fun to go out and play, the relaxation of returning to a familiar place is incomparable outside.

After taking the plane and then the car, Xiao Qinghe was already sleepy, so he took a rest immediately after arriving home.

Early the next morning, I heard the yelling outside, Zhou You came out, and saw those pairs of expectant eyes.

"How's the fishpond doing?"

"It's all good, people from the village have come to see it, and we can throw fish fry!"

Zhou You went to see it, and sure enough, it was cleaned up. There were still a lot of pollutants such as plastic bags in it before. There are quite a lot of fish fry to choose from. Zhou You wants to try different kinds of fish. How is the taste different from ordinary fish?

"Okay, I know you're leaving, so I'll make you some special food!"

When Zhou You was busy with work, Song Qian followed like a follower, and when they looked at each other, they looked aggrieved, like a little daughter-in-law who was bullied.

Hearing this, Song Qian's eyes lit up instantly. If it wasn't for the crowd, she might have jumped over and hugged her.

But Mai Mai said: "Brother Zhou, you may not be able to take care of one thing and lose another!"

"The key is the material issue. There are too few materials now, and we have to wait at least two months!"

Maimai is smart, so he guessed right away: "Is it the rice seedlings cultivated later?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was overjoyed, and between their lips and teeth, it seemed that they had tasted the taste of eating rice with empty mouths.

"What rice seedlings!"

Everyone else knew, but Song Qian didn't.

Mai Mai pulled Song Qian, and described the taste of the rice as rare in the world.

Although Song Qian was a little moved, it was still hard to imagine that it was just a bowl of rice, how could it make people salivate!
But according to what Zhou You said, she seems to be able to eat it?
Is it to eat rice directly?
is not it……

A little too shabby?

It's better than eating a table!
Zhou You returned to the kitchen, took out three taels of pearl rice, and started steaming the rice!

"Ah, so few!"

Song Qian saw that Zhou You took a little rice to steam.

mean!

"It's enough for you alone, and there are so many carbohydrates, are you sure you dare to finish it?"

Song Qian was speechless...

She came here to lose weight, but when she weighed yesterday, she found that instead of losing weight, she had gained two catties, so she decided to lose weight.

But when Zhou You came back and prepared to cook her exclusive food, she had long forgotten about weight, weight loss, and body sculpting, all of which were bullshit.

She didn't know what she muttered, but she just looked at the white rice and wondered if what Mai Mai said was a bit exaggerated.

"You haven't steamed the rice, have you?"

Song Qian said: "How do you know?"

Zhou Youdao: "If you have steamed rice, how can you not see that this rice is different from ordinary rice!"

Although it can't be seen at a glance, how can it not be seen at such a close distance, especially when it is soaked in water. After the pearl rice is soaked in water, it is still quite large compared to ordinary rice, especially the crystal clear appearance.

Seeing that Zhou You had steamed the rice, Song Qian couldn't help but said, "You really don't want me to eat rice!"

Zhou Youdao: "No, I'll make fried rice with eggs for you!"

"Egg fried rice?" Song Qian was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Isn't that an overnight meal?"

"Don't you also think that the water in the glass can't be drunk after midnight?"

Song Qian: ...

The so-called overnight meal is nothing more than letting it cool, and this is the pearl rice provided by the system. After steaming, the grains are distinct, and it will not break or stick together.

Song Qian didn't understand these things, but she knew that as long as it was made by Zhou You, the taste would definitely not be bad. Didn't you see those staff members, including Mai Mai and Tao Tao, all watching eagerly?
"Brother Zhou, what shall we eat today!"

"Yes, yes, do you want us to buy materials!"

Song Qian has her own fried rice with eggs, but the big guy has been waiting for many days. If she can't eat this meal today, she might not have the energy to work.

"Eat chicken..."

Let’s not talk about the chicken, civilized you and me!
Although he has the God of Cooking system, but this time he went to Guangdong Province, he also experienced what it means to have a feast without chicken.

He and Liu Zhang had fifty dishes each, and out of the dishes Liu Zhang made, ten of them had chicken as the main ingredient. However, Guangzhou Province has the way of eating chicken in Guangzhou Province, but Long City also has the way of eating chicken in Long City. Chicken way!

Ning County Roast Chicken, Dapan Chicken, Pepper Chicken, Spicy Chicken Nuggets, Potato Roast Chicken and more!

"it is good!"

Taotao's eyes lit up instantly, and he got up immediately: "I'll go to the village to buy it!"

Talk about having fun and call people.

As soon as Li Hang and the others heard that Zhou You was going to cook chicken, they yelled and wanted to catch the chicken.

As for Song Qian, when Zhou You said that she wanted to eat chicken, her saliva was almost drooling.

With the steam coming out of the steamer, Song Qian really felt the fragrance of the so-called pearl rice.

"Hey, what kind of rice is this, why is it so fragrant!"

Song Qian has never steamed rice herself, but it's not like she hasn't seen others steam rice.

Because she likes to eat rice, she is very aware of the aroma of rice just out of the pot or steaming.

But the rice fragrance emanating from this pot was definitely something she had never smelled before.

Could it be that they use electric rice cookers to steam rice, but Zhou You use iron pots?
"The rice I use is different from that used by ordinary people. It can even be said that there is nothing comparable to the so-called high-grade rice on the market!"

Song Qian raised her brows and said, "I can't. When I participated in a program before, I ate a kind of rice called Jingyang Rice. It is known as the terminator of top-notch rice. It costs six to seven thousand a catty! "

Zhou You smiled and said, "Since you have eaten this so-called top rice terminator, it would be better. Try my pearl rice later, and you will know which one is better?"

Indeed!
but……

So confident?
Not to mention, what Zhou You said, coupled with Mai Mai Taotao's reaction, she was really interested in this so-called pearl rice.

The fragrance of rice became stronger and stronger, so that Mr. He and Mr. Huang also surrounded him.

Many people shared the rice last time, and they just tasted a little. Teacher Huang later told Zhou You that when the pearl rice was mass-produced, he would ask for a few hundred catties.

It's only a few hundred catties, and I'm afraid it won't be enough to take it home and eat it by myself.

After all it tastes so good.

After so long, Zhou You has never used this rice once, and unexpectedly smelled it again.

"You are lucky, and I can only eat it after mass production!"

Song Qian beamed when she heard that, after all, Tong Yang left, so the egg fried rice was her own.

""On the Road" will be released soon, and then we will be able to hear the songs written by Zhou You!"

"I'm looking forward to it!"

Time passed, and finally, Zhou You opened the lid of the pot, and a puff of white air rose into the sky, followed by a strong rice fragrance.

Song Qian breathed in again and again, only to feel that the pores all over her body were dilated.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

The pot was covered earlier, although there was heat coming out, but the fragrance was also cut off for the most part, so although the smell is very special, it is actually relatively weak.

But now, the lid of the pot is lifted, and the aroma is completely diffused through the heat conduction, making the mouth watery, wishing to directly fill a bowl of dry white rice.

The hot air dissipates, and the rice appears, and the bottom of the pot is white, like crystal salt, shaped like pearls, with clear and full grains, and because of the residual mist, it seems to be covered with a layer of precious light, not like ordinary things, but like Xianzhu!
