From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 13 You can add rice, but you can’t waste it

Feng Zhengming pedaled his tricycle along the road to the train station, and still found the same location as yesterday.

Then take down the two buckets of rice and set them aside.

Place two wooden boards from the car across the tricycle pocket.

Then bring up the three pots containing the vegetables and place them on the wooden board.

When everything was ready, Feng Zhengming shouted loudly without any embarrassment.

"They are selling lunch boxes. Do you want to eat? Rice is 5 cents, vegetarian dishes are 1 yuan, and meat dishes are [-] yuan and [-]. If you want to eat, come and have a look. Look first before buying. Make sure the food is delicious and you will want to eat it after seeing it."

When Feng Zhengming shouted this, he immediately attracted the attention of people entering and exiting the train station.

Some people who had traveled far away obviously didn't eat in order to catch the train.

Hearing Feng Zhengming's shout, he immediately came closer.

Not long after, many people gathered in front of Feng Zhengming.

A man in a simple blue coat asked: "What kind of dishes do you have here? Can you show me?"

Feng Zhengming didn't hide it, and immediately opened the lid of the pot and said: "There are three dishes today, two vegetarian dishes and one meat dish. The vegetarian dishes are braised eggplant and fried lotus root, and the meat dish is dry-fried large intestine. Do you want one? Want to try it?"

Looking at the three pots with their lids uncovered, especially the oily fried large intestines in the pot, really made many people drool.

As for the other two dishes, the braised eggplant also has a ruddy soup and looks great.

The leaves of the stir-fried cabbage are hung with soup, and the aroma wafting out of the pot seems to be mixed with a hint of meat.

The man in the blue coat swallowed his saliva and said, "Okay, give me one, and give me some of the three dishes."

Feng Zhengming smiled and said, "Okay, brother, please wait a moment."

When speaking, Feng Zhengming was very deft.

First, he gave the man in the blue coat a box of rice, then he gave him a ladle of three kinds of vegetables, and handed the man two lunch boxes and a pair of disposable chopsticks to him.

"Come on, brother, try it. If you think it tastes good, you are welcome to come and eat it next time you catch the train."

The man in a blue coat took two disposable lunch boxes and chopsticks, and handed two two-yuan notes to Feng Zhengming.

He swallowed again and said, "Okay, if it tastes good, I'll eat your food next time I pass by here."

Feng Zhengming smiled and said, "Okay, brother, please walk slowly."

The man in the blue coat squeezed out of the crowd, but actually didn't go far. It seemed that his train would still be on for a while, so he wasn't in a hurry to get into the station and simply found a place to sit down and eat first.

When he sat down and opened the lunch box again, the aroma still made the man in the blue coat swallow his saliva.

Some couldn't wait to pick up the rice and picked up the large intestine in the lunch box with chopsticks.

The large intestine is placed on the rice, and the soup hanging from the intestine instantly soaks the rice.

Looking at the attractive large intestine, the man couldn't help but eat a piece of large intestine first.

After entering the mouth, although the large intestine is not very plump, it has obviously been fried and cooked to absorb enough soup. It will burst with juice when you bite it.

The man in the blue coat felt that he had never eaten such delicious dry-fried large intestine.

Then he ate a piece of large intestine again. This time the man in the blue coat did not rush to bite it, but quickly took a bite of rice into his mouth.

After eating the rice, the man bit off the large intestine in his mouth.

The juice from the large intestine spurted out, soaking the rice with saliva in the mouth.

The chewy texture of the rice grains goes well with the large intestine and soup.

The man really didn't have time to think too much, and he didn't even bother to swallow it in his mouth. He took big mouthfuls of rice and devoured it.

In the blink of an eye, the man had eaten all the rice in the lunch box.

When he lowered his head and looked down, he saw that only the large intestine was eaten out of the food in his lunch box, and the eggplant and lotus root were not touched.

The man couldn't help but smile, recalling the taste of the pig intestines, and he didn't want to touch the remaining two vegetarian dishes.

But I don’t want to waste it, especially since the remaining vegetarian dishes are also very fragrant.

The man in the blue coat picked it up and tasted it. This taste shocked the man again.

The eggplant strips were very soft and soaked up the soup, and it almost tasted like eating meat.

The cabbage is crispy, but there is soup on it, especially when Feng Zhengming added oil residue when frying it, so the man in the blue coat also found it very delicious.

After taking a few bites of the food, the man in the blue coat smacked his mouth.

After looking at all the rice, I felt that it was such a waste to eat vegetables like this.

The man in the blue coat thought over and over again and finally made a decision.

He put his baggage on his back and quickly ran towards Feng Zhengming's tricycle with two lunch boxes in his hands.

When he ran to Feng Zhengming's tricycle, the man in the blue coat looked in disbelief that he had already started queuing up.

The man hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but hurried forward.

Running to the tricycle, the man in the blue coat panted and said, "Little, little brother, can you, can you give me some rice?"

Feng Zhengming, who was loading lunch boxes for people, looked up when he heard the voice.

I saw that the man in a blue coat was the first to buy a box lunch today.

"Brother, are you not full?"

The man in the blue coat said: "I'm a little hungry. The main reason is that the food you cooked is so delicious. I ate a little of the food and ate all the rice. I still have half a box of food left, so I wanted to come back and ask. Can you give me some rice?"

Feng Zhengming smiled and said, "Okay, brother, have you got your lunch box back? It doesn't matter if you don't have it. I'll give you a box of rice."

The man quickly said: "No, I got the box back."

Feng Zhengming saw that the man in the blue coat had eaten all the rice in the lunch box, not even a grain of rice was left. He smiled and turned around and said, "Okay, brother, I will add another box of rice for you."

Say to the elder sister in line in front of you: "Sister, please wait a moment, I will add some rice to this elder brother."

The eldest sister didn't say anything.

Feng Zhengming quickly filled up the rice for the man in the blue coat.

The man in the blue coat looked at a box of rice and asked quickly: "Little brother, does this box of rice cost money?"

Feng Zhengming laughed and said, "Brother, you can eat it for free. If you don't have enough, you can add more. I have enough rice."

Feng Zhengming brought two barrels of rice today, and he has actually not sold out even one of them.

And rice is actually really worthless.

When other people in line heard this, they also asked.

"Do you want to eat rice for free?"

"Is it true?"

“Can I eat whatever rice I want?”

Feng Zhengming said seriously: "Yes, you heard it right, there is enough rice. If one box of rice is not enough, you can add more rice after eating."

Hearing what Feng Zhengming said, people who had bought lunch boxes immediately came back, all wanting another portion of rice.

Feng Zhengming also made a decisive decision and said: "Don't crowd, I said, you can add more food after you finish eating. If you haven't eaten yet, don't come over to add more food. We can't waste food."

There were also people in the queue who helped Feng Zhengming speak.

"That's right, don't waste food."

"That's right, how many years has it been since everyone had enough to eat? There are still people in some places who don't have enough to eat. We must not waste food."

"If you haven't eaten a bite, don't come over to join in the fun. Don't worry about your big belly and small belly."

The man in the blue coat simply ate nearby and guarded Feng Zhengming to prevent anyone from jumping in line or asking for more food.

According to the understanding of most people, Feng Zhengming’s box lunch stall is relatively orderly.
