From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 39 A bowl of "Soy Pot Noodles" after work

Feng Zhengming's slightly abrupt change of topic made Lin Jiacheng and Li Huidong couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Lei and Yang Peng saw their master smiling, and they couldn't help but laugh secretly.

However, Li Huidong also saw that his junior brother was not interested in love affairs, so he simply stopped talking about introducing girls to Feng Zhengming.

"Okay, okay, let's pack things quickly and take out the dry goods later to make preparations for the reception at noon tomorrow."

Feng Zhengming said seriously: "Yes, we still need to make some preparations for noon tomorrow."

Lin Jiacheng said: "That Fang Jian didn't explain clearly who he will entertain in the factory at noon tomorrow."

Li Huidong said: "No matter who we entertain, we just need to be prepared."

Lin Jiacheng nodded: "Okay, now that you two brothers are here, no matter what kind of reception it is, you brothers should be able to handle it together."

Li Huidong was still very modest: "Brother-in-law, you can't say that. The reception in the factory is still different from that in the countryside. The reception in the factory must be more refined."

Lin Jiacheng said: "I understand, it just needs to be more beautiful on the plate. Isn't the sweet and sour carp that Zhengming made in Mr. Liu's hometown this time very beautiful? That shape really made the whole village like it."

Zhang Lei immediately answered: "Yes, yes, I heard that many people in the village asked their children to eat more, saying that if they eat the sweet and sour carp cooked by my uncle, they will definitely be able to leap over the dragon's gate in the future."

Yang Peng then said, "Yes, many people in the village said that I also saw some people secretly packing their children back home."

Lin Jiacheng laughed: "Look at how great Zhengming's dish design is."

Feng Zhengming said: "Brother-in-law, the cooking method of that dish was also taught by master."

After hearing this, Lin Jiacheng looked at Li Huidong and asked, "Huidong, why haven't I seen you do that before?"

Li Huidong said: "That method was very troublesome. The leaders in the factory didn't need to jump over the dragon gate anymore, so I didn't do it. Didn't you see that Zhengming was very troublesome when he was frying fish?"

Lin Jiacheng recalled it, nodded and said, "It is indeed very troublesome. It is not easy to shape the fish every time."

While talking, everyone also started to pack their things.

Soak the big pots and basins you brought back with water.

As for the woks used by Feng Zhengming and Li Huidong, they only need to be rinsed with water and then wiped with a clean rag.

After cleaning the pots, basins and other utensils brought back, Li Huidong led Zhang Lei and Yang Peng into the warehouse, took out some dry goods, rinsed them, and started soaking them.

Lin Jiacheng looked at it, thought for a moment and asked, "Huidong, do you want to prepare some sea cucumbers?"

Li Huidong said: "Sea cucumbers are so expensive, and one night is not enough to soak them now."

Lin Jiacheng said: "But what if the factory director wants you to cook sea cucumber elbow steak again?"

Li Huidong was a little embarrassed when he heard it. After thinking about it, he could only take out some sea cucumbers left in the refrigerator.

After taking out the sea cucumber, Li Huidong still felt very painful.

In the end, Li Huidong only selected a few smaller ones.

"Okay, just these. I don't know when the reception will pay us tomorrow. We used too many sea cucumbers. We are really at a loss."

Lin Jiacheng said: "Huidong should not worry about temporary gains and losses. As long as we can secure the contracting rights of the canteen, we will make back this money sooner or later."

After hearing what his brother-in-law said, Li Huidong added a few more sea cucumbers.

Everything is ready for tomorrow, it's almost nine o'clock in the evening.

Lin Jiacheng and Li Huidong were about to leave, but Feng Zhengming said: "Brother-in-law, senior brother, don't leave in a hurry. I'm going to cook some noodles. You can eat together before going back."

Li Huidong glanced at the time and said to Lin Jiacheng: "Brother-in-law, it is indeed late. If we go back now, everyone at home must have had dinner. We will deal with it in the cafeteria before going back."

Lin Jiacheng nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Zhengming." Feng Zhengming said: "You're welcome, brother-in-law, please wait for a while."

Feng Zhengming has prepared the noodles for cooking.

Three tomatoes, five eggs, and two green onions.

First, break the green onion from the middle, and then cut it into eyebrow-shaped green onion strips with a diagonal knife.

Make a cross-shaped knife on the skin of three tomatoes, cook them in a small pot for a while, peel off the skin, and cut the tomatoes into small dices.

Beat all five eggs.

When everything was ready, Feng Zhengming wiped the pot clean, poured more oil into the pot, and fried the eggs first.

Put the egg liquid into the pan, let it solidify slightly, and then use a frying spoon to quickly stir-fry the eggs.

The fried eggs are slightly older and removed from the pan.

Then add new clean oil to the pot, put the chopped green onions into the pot, and slowly stir-fry until the aroma of the green onions is stimulated, and even the green onions have begun to turn a little brown.

Then add the diced tomatoes to the pot and stir-fry them until they have a sandy texture.

Add another spoonful of soy sauce to the pot and stir-fry out the aroma of the soy sauce.

Then add boiling water to the pot, let the water boil, and then pour the previously scrambled eggs back into the pot.

Turn on the high heat and let the water in the pot boil, slowly cooking out the aroma of the eggs.

At this time, other people in the cafeteria had already smelled the aroma of the pot.

Zhang Lei exclaimed: "It smells so good. Uncle Master, what kind of broth did you use to cook the noodles?"

Yang Peng asked strangely: "It seems we don't have any broth left, right?"

Li Huidong said: "Your uncle doesn't use any stock. His method is to boil the scrambled eggs over high heat and slowly cook out the umami flavor in the eggs, which can create a flavor similar to stock."

Zhang Lei and Yang Peng couldn't help but be a little surprised after hearing this: "Is this still possible?"

Feng Zhengming tasted the soup and added a little salt to taste, while explaining with a smile: "Yes, this is actually a way to make soup stock temporarily. This is considered egg stock and can be used temporarily."

After adjusting the taste, the eggs, tomatoes and green onions in the pot are almost cooked out.

Feng Zhengming then put the noodles directly into the pot to cook.

When the noodles were cooked, Feng Zhengming poured the noodles in the pot directly into the prepared clean basin.

The moment the noodles are poured into the big basin, the rich aroma instantly fills the entire canteen.

Not to mention Zhang Lei and Yang Peng.

Even Li Huidong and Lin Jiacheng couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Lin Jiacheng looked at a large bowl of noodles and said, "Zhengming, your craftsmanship is really amazing. I never thought that such a simple tomato and egg noodle soup could be made so delicious by you."

Feng Zhengming smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, you are exaggerating. My pot is called "Soy Pot Noodles". Let's try it."

Zhang Lei and Yang Peng quickly went to get the bowls and chopsticks, and everyone started to fish out the noodles from the basin.

After taking just one bite, everyone immediately fell silent.

Suck yo...

There was only the sound of noodles being sucked in the cafeteria.
