My daily life of cooking food in Tokyo

Chapter 266 Prepare Lunch
On the other side, Yoji Kawakami called his friend Goichi Iwata.

As soon as the phone was connected, Iwata Goichi's bold voice came, saying:

"Yoji, you have finally turned your back on your evil ways and come to your senses, what is what you should do."

"We work hard together, and the future can be expected."

To be honest, if it weren't for the good relationship between the two, Iwata Goichi wouldn't have had so much patience at all.

There are still ways to make a fortune these days, but are you worried about finding people to cooperate with you?
Hearing Goichi Iwata's extremely enthusiastic words, Yoji Kawakami was a little embarrassed.

Didn't the other party think about the possibility that he was actually here to reject him?

Even though it’s embarrassing, I still want to speak clearly.

Kawakami Yoji coughed and said, "Goichi, I called you because I had other matters."

"It's also related to our business plan."

"It's just that I might miss the appointment."

At the end, Kawakami Yoji felt a little melancholy.

It's not that his willpower is weak, but that the enemy's sugar-coated shells are too ruthless.

Iwata asked with a surprised look on his face: "Yoji, have you found a more profitable way?"

"We would actually abandon our business plan."

"This is a bit unkind. Please tell me what kind of method it is."

"Don't worry, I will never compete with you for business."

Yoji Kawakami found a better opportunity.

This was the only possibility Iwata could think of.

He never imagined that Yoji Kawakami still did not give up the job with no future.

Yoji Kawakami laughed at himself: "Where do I have such a vision, I can find opportunities to make more money casually."

"I just figured it out."

"I think it's actually good to be a waiter."

"Maybe I'm destined to be a simple waiter all the time."

Iwata Tsuyoshi's eyes were full of disbelief and he said in shock: "Yoji, are you kidding me?"

"You actually gave up starting a business with me just for a job as a waiter?"

"This joke is not funny."

"I understand. You were afraid that we would be too depressed on the road to starting a business, so you deliberately told jokes to make me happy."

"Well, I did laugh."

"You made me laugh."

"You should tell me next that you are going to give up that stupid idea and start a business with me, right?"

Kawakami Yoji did not expect Iwata Goichi to have misunderstood what he meant.

He said very seriously: "I'm not a joking person."

"Goichi, I'm very sorry, I can't fight side by side with you until the end."

"I'm so sorry."

"After all, I really need this waiter job with a monthly salary of at least 50 yen."

And that delicious work dinner.

There are also generous employee benefits.

It's just that the last two sentences are really out of character, so Kawakami Yoji just said it in his heart.

silence.

The answer to Yoji Kawakami was a long silence.

half an hour.

After taking a breath, Iwata said, "Yoji, are you sure you're right?"

"How much did you just say?"

"It's about fifty thousand yen."

"Or 50 yen a year."

How could the salary of a mere waiter be more than what I earn from my hard work in starting a business?
Yoji Kawakami said matter-of-factly: "Of course it's 50 yen a month."

"It's a pity that Boss Liu said that our Longli Izakaya has just started, so we can only pay so much salary."

"We still need to wait patiently for a while, and wait for the development of Longli Izakaya to be on the right track before we can provide better benefits."

"During this period of development, he can only force us to enjoy such a low treatment first."

"Let us try our best to overcome the difficulties and persevere a little longer."

Having said that, Yoji Kawakami sighed and said:

"Boss Liu said that, what else can I do?"

"Of course we can only 'try our best' to overcome the 'difficulties'."

"As soon as you talked about it, if I don't stay at this time to accompany Boss Liu through the 'difficulties'."

"Isn't it better than a pig or a dog?"

Iwata Goichi said he didn't want to talk and withdrew a friendship.

acid.

The incomparable sourness gradually spread from the heart to the whole body.

Iwata Goichi felt that his whole body was not well.

Start a business?

Create a ghost.

If I had such a job as a waiter, I would not start a business.

Iwata Goichi held back the shock in his heart, and said tremblingly, "That, Yoji."

"We are brothers after all. How can I bear to see you suffer?"

"Why don't you introduce me to be a waiter at Longli Izakaya?"

"I don't mean anything else, I just want to share troubles with you."

"After all, I am your strongest brother."

Kawakami Yoji said without hesitation: "How can this be done?"

"How can I wrong you, brother, to give up your ideals and suffer with me."

"Entrepreneurship is a man's romance."

"Your future is the sea of ​​stars."

"Instead of being like me, working as a waiter with no future in an izakaya."

Goichi Iwata pursed his lips and said, "Entrepreneurship is entrepreneurship, and ideals are ideals."

"But nothing compares to the brotherhood between us."

"Tie buddies should share weal and woe."

"If you don't recommend me, I won't be able to suffer with you. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night."

Yoji Kawakami shook his head, secretly thinking that he really failed to resist Boss Liu's "same joys and sorrows".

He sighed and said, "It seems that there is no shortage of people at Longli Izakaya for the time being."

"But it's not sure, after all, we are getting busier."

"If Boss Liu wants to recruit someone, I will definitely introduce you to him as soon as possible."

Iwata's eyes lit up at a glance, he didn't expect that he just said it casually, but there was actually something interesting.

Immediately smiled and said: "Brother Yoshi, I know you have been 'suffering' during this time."

"As a brother, how can I watch you suffer?"

"Let's go, let's drink, we won't return tonight if we don't get drunk."

Although it was already early in the morning, no one cared what time it was when the mood came.

After a moment of hesitation, Yoji Kawakami agreed.

After all, it had been too long since the two of them got together for a drink.

Although there were meetings before, most of them still made plans to start a business, and there was no such plan at all.

The world of adults is full of ups and downs.

On the contrary, it's not that easy, let's have a drinking game where you can drink as you please.
-
Tuesday.

The sun is shining today, it is a good weather.

Liu Minghui tossed and turned all night thinking about going to see Guangzi's parents soon.

Fortunately, Xuan fell asleep when the sun came up.

Lack of sleep, Liu Minghui naturally became a national treasure and protection animal after waking up.

With two big dark circles under his eyes, he felt very happy.

The agreed time to meet is at noon today.

Liu Minghui thought for a long time, and finally decided to send a lunch prepared by himself.

As the saying goes, if you want to capture a woman's heart, you must first capture her stomach.

Even if this woman is the mother-in-law, it must be the same.

In addition, Liu Minghui is good at cooking, so he naturally has to use his strengths.

Considering that Indoor Qianhe had just recovered from a serious illness, Liu Minghui planned to make some light dishes for lunch.

soup.

vegetables.

meat.

White rice.

Combine them and pack them in prepared bento boxes for a delicious lunch.

Just after dawn, Liu Minghui hurried to the vegetable market to purchase the freshest ingredients.

The ingredients are naturally the freshest.

Cordyceps flowers, chanterelles, morels, Agaricus blazei, snow mountain matsutake, velvet antler mushroom.

These dry goods are carefully selected, and only the right size and full shape are left.

Then soak in warm water and start soaking hair.

Although the speed of soaking in hot water is faster, it is easy to destroy the nutrients in the mushrooms, and the gain outweighs the gain.

Dried scallops also need to be soaked.

Under the influence of time magic, these dry foods become extremely delicious and mellow.

While the dry food was soaking, Liu Minghui started to process other ingredients.

The old hen is cut from the belly, and the internal organs are cleaned and washed.

Cut the ribs into pieces and blanch to remove blood and impurities.

Then deal with the ham.

Wash well and peel off the skin.

Take only the best part of it.

The bright red ham meat looks very tempting and smells of a rich meaty aroma.

Used to make soup.

Can add a strong savory flavor.

Place the processed scallops, ham and ribs into a large soup pot.

Add water, ginger, green onions, bring to a boil, add cooking wine, turn to low heat and simmer for 3 hours.

Only slow stewing can allow the soup to fully absorb the essence of all ingredients.

While cooking, chop the chicken breast and lean pork into puree, add appropriate amount of water to make porridge for later use.

After estimating the time, when the soup was about to mature, Liu Minghui started to prepare another pot of soup.

Wash the soaked dry goods.

Not much action is required.

After adding an appropriate amount of ginger, onion and garlic, put it directly into the casserole with the ribs to make soup.

Sprinkle some refined salt before the soup is made, and stir evenly, it is a rare delicacy.

Especially the golden and translucent soup, which is very attractive just by looking at it.

Due to the addition of six kinds of mountain delicacies, this soup is also called Liuzhen Pork Rib Soup.

While waiting for the Liuzhen soup to mature, the first pot of soup has been stewed for three hours, and it has already had enough heat.

The soup is bright white and slightly cloudy, obviously absorbing the delicious taste of all the ingredients.

But this seemingly tempting soup is only the first step of this dish.

Skim off the slick oil, filter out large particles of impurities, and the soup starts to become clear, thus obtaining a pot of clear soup.

Pour the clear soup into another pot and heat.

After boiling, add minced pork and stir well.

Turn to medium-low heat, wait for it to spread slowly, and after the minced meat floats, carefully scoop out all the minced meat with a small colander.

This is not over yet, the clear soup has to be boiled again.

Add the minced chicken into the clear soup in two batches and process it in the same way as the minced pork.

After the pork and chicken soup, this pot of clear soup becomes more delicious.

This is not enough.

Combine layers of sterile gauze together to form a funnel.

Start straining the broth.

Once, twice, three times!
It is not finished until the clear soup is completely clear and no different from water.

Next, you only need to boil this pot of clear soup until it boils, like a pot of boiling water.

Then pour it on the tenderest cabbage heart.

A simple serving of boiled cabbage is considered complete.

Consider this a bento.

Liu Minghui chose to put the soup in a thermos to keep it warm, and then packaged the cabbage hearts separately.

Finally, pour "boiling water" when eating to complete this simple delicacy.

Two servings of soup are done, finished off with a little cucumber as a vegetable.

Pair it with some sashimi and some rice, and it's complete.

In Sakura Country, bento is usually served with cold dishes and cold rice, which is completely different from box lunch in Hua Country.

They don't even use a microwave to heat it, without any regard for the feelings of the eater.

If Liu Minghui was asked to take action, he would naturally not bring a cold meal to Indoor Qianhe.

Only the hottest food tastes the most delicious.

Even in order to prevent the influence of temperature on the ingredients, Liu Minghui divided the entire boxed lunch into hot and cold parts.

With the last lid closed, the aroma of the food is completely sealed.

No one would have thought that just two simple lunch boxes contained delicious delicacies.

After all this was done, it was almost time for the appointment.

Liu Minghui cleaned himself up, put on simple and clean clothes, carried his lunch box, and went out.

Not long after, Liu Minghui saw the indoor photon at the intersection.

From far away, the photon in the room waved his hand towards Liu Minghui.

Looking at the big and small bags in his hand, Liu Minghui smiled wryly, he had no way to respond.

He could only speed up his pace and quickly come to Photon indoors.

Looking at what Liu Minghui was carrying, Indoor Photon said angrily:

"Minghui, didn't I say you don't need to bring anything?"

"Bring too many things, but it seems that we are more divided."

As he spoke, Indoor Photon took a bag with great familiarity.

The other hand took the initiative to hold Liu Minghui together.

Liu Minghui chuckled and said, "I didn't prepare anything, but it was just a simple meal."

"It's not convenient for my aunt to cook and eat alone."

"It just so happens that I know a little bit of cooking, Lulushou, so that I can help myself grow my face."

Indoor Photon gave Liu Minghui a blank look, and thought to himself, do you know a little about cooking?
Lulu hand?
I'm afraid you don't intend to give my mother a slap in the face.

But indoor photon didn't say much, after all, it wasn't Liu Minghui's fault that he was too good.

He just wants his mother to eat delicious food, what's wrong?
Thinking like this, Indoor Photon held Liu Minghui's hand a little harder.

She is using her own way to cheer Liu Minghui as much as possible.

Because she clearly felt a tremor from Liu Minghui's hand.

After all, it was the first time to meet his parents, so even Liu Minghui was a little nervous.

Not as calm as it appears on the surface.

Especially the pair of dark circles under his eyes made Indoor Photon extremely distressed to see them.

Softly comforting: "Minghui, don't be nervous."

"My mother was very nice and a pretty easygoing person."

"Plus you are so good, there is absolutely no way she will be dissatisfied with you."

Having said this, Indoor Photon gritted his teeth and said: "It doesn't matter even if she is not satisfied."

"When the time comes, I'll tell her that I'm pregnant with your child, and I won't marry unless you are the one!"

"She will never say anything else."

　I've been very busy recently, so updates may be unstable.
