Chapter 16 Research Institute (please collect, recommend, and read)

“Boss, have a bowl of cold noodles.”

A low voice interrupted He Ao’s attention.

“Okay,” He Ao responded. He opened the cabinet swiftly and glanced up at the person who came. It was a familiar face who passed him by at the police station today. He didn’t ask any more questions, but asked softly, “Handsome guy, do you want a big bowl and a small bowl, sweet and sour?”

“How do you calculate it?”

The man Glancing at He Ao, his eyes did not stay on He Ao, but looked towards the depths of the night.

“Eight yuan for a large bowl, six yuan for a small bowl, and one price for sweet and sour spicy food.”

He Ao lowered his head and replied slowly.

“Have a big bowl, sweet and sour, eat here.”

The man said casually, and then walked to the small folding table that was propped up on the side.

There are not many of these folding tables, five or six. There are a few small cylindrical plastic stools scattered around the folding tables, and some youngsters are eating cold noodles and talking and laughing around the table. , a night shift worker in a nearby industrial area.

The night shift starts at half past eleven. Usually before eleven, they will come here to eat something to bolster their stomachs.

These youngsters looked up at the man, looked at his outfit curiously, and lowered their heads to continue chatting.

He Ao took out a wide-mouthed stainless steel water ladle, held the handle of the water ladle in one hand, picked up a large chopstick with the other, and dropped the cold noodles into the ladle, then added salt, monosodium glutamate, and chicken essence swiftly with his hands and feet. , sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, spicy oil, minced garlic, sesame oil, oyster sauce, cooked sesame seeds.

The key to the taste of sweet and sour is the degree of sweet and sour taste. If it is too sour, it will affect the taste. If it is not sour enough, it will not promote appetite. Sugar can neutralize the sour taste of vinegar, first sour and then sweet. , There is a feeling of bitterness and joy, which is delicious and increases appetite.

Generally, sweet and sour flavors do not add spiciness, but He Ao likes to add a little spiciness. The combination of spiciness and minced garlic can stimulate the taste buds and drive away the night crowd. The cold air in the body, but not too much, a little more, it will overwhelm the guest and cover up the sweet and sour fragrance.

After pouring the seasoning, He Ao quickly stirred the cold noodles, and even made a spoon in the air, letting the cold noodles fly out along the inner wall of the water ladle, turning it over 180 degrees in the air.

One of the keys to affecting the taste of cold noodles is whether they can be mixed well.

Anyone who has eaten pasta knows that whether noodles, especially dry noodles, can stick the ingredients evenly on each noodle determines whether your bowl of noodles is sweet and delicious, or salty and delicious. light.

When each noodle was covered with red and even oil, He Ao stopped, opened the small vegetable box, added the boiled kelp strips in turn, and blanched the fresh bean sprouts in water. Chopped shallots, fried crispy soybeans.

The moment these side dishes and chopped green onion fell into the scoop, they were quickly stirred into the noodles.

However, this time the stirring was not as intense as last time, because the noodles were mixed with bean sprouts.

Some people like to put shredded cucumber in the cold noodles.

But He Ao prefers bean sprouts. The bean sprouts are also crisp and crisp, but they are not as firm as cucumber shreds. They are firm on the outside and soft on the inside.

He Ao’s boiling water used to blanch bean sprouts is boiled with lemon slices. Lemon not only relieves greasy, but also has a unique, slightly acidic acidity that is different from vinegar.

The bean sprouts treated in this way are mixed in the noodles and sent to the mouth. When the teeth are bitten, the noodles are soft and chewy, the bean sprouts are crisp and delicious, the sweet and sour taste is sweet and the lemon is slightly sour , mixed together, under the stirring of the tongue, under the collision of the teeth, it is like a young first love, shy and pleasant, wanting to refuse and welcome.

It’s unforgettable.

Of course, bean sprouts are not without their disadvantages. After blanching, bean sprouts are very easy to deteriorate, so if they can’t be sold, they have to be thrown away, and it is very troublesome to handle, so there are fewer and fewer people using them now.

After this series of dazzling operations, in fact, only two or three minutes passed. He Ao took out a small paper bowl, packaged the cold noodles, inserted disposable chopsticks, and mentioned the man in front of him. on the small table.

“Boss, your business is good.”

The man hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked stiffly.

“Well, it’s good,” He Ao couldn’t figure out what he wanted to say, he handed the payment code to the man, “Eight dollars.”

“You This looks very hard.” The man took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code to pay. He didn’t seem to be comfortable with this kind of work, and his tone was awkward and stiff. “And you sell so cheaply, and your income is not high…”

“The money received is eight yuan.”

A voice broadcast came from the mobile phone.

“You’re still in school, I have a part-time job here…” The man continued, as the topic continued, he seemed to have found a little confidence, and was about to continue to play, but was caught by He Ao’s The voice was interrupted.

“It’s really not that high. I sell 30 days a month, I can sell 70 to 80 bowls every night, and I can collect 600 to 700 yuan a day, which is 189 per month. , less than 20,000 yuan, and then the bits and pieces have to be removed from the various costs, there is not much left, and all the hard work is earned…”

He Ao said and suddenly realized that the air seemed to be quiet When he got down, he looked towards the man in front of him. I don’t know when the man started eating noodles silently, as if he mentioned ‘20,000 a month’.

He thought about it and continued to ask,

“That, handsome, you just said you have a part-time job…”

“No, no I’m sorry.” The man waved his hand hastily, “That job isn’t for you.”

“Oh.”

He Ao returned to the booth strangely, but people didn’t want to. Said that he is not easy to ask questions, and his long-term experience in finding part-time jobs tells him that ordinary strangers come together and say, ‘I have a part-time job’, either a black intermediary or a liar.

He Ao was deceived by scammers when he was in high school, saying ‘high salary and stability’, ‘working at home’, ‘monthly income tens of thousands’, but to do it, he had to pay a deposit of 399.

He Ao handed in, and then no more.

That month he ate cold steamed buns for a month.

This world has many good people and many bad people.

He Ao sat on the small stool in front of the booth, looking at the [Martial Arts: guiding qi into the body (F-rank)] on the character panel, and started to replay what he saw in the dungeon world in his mind. The book “Introduction to Sword Immortal in Thirty Days”.

That book may have bragging elements, and it can’t become Divine Immortal, but from the mark of the system, it seems to be affiliated with ‘Martial Arts’ this thing.

After all, Martial Arts is marked with ‘guiding qi into the body’, and He Ao felt that the ‘Qi’ generated by using the energy of Vermilion Fruit is the ‘Qi’ of guiding qi into the body.

But it’s just guiding qi into the body. Right now, his body is as empty as a rice jar that can starve a mouse to death. Not to mention ‘Qi’, he doesn’t even have any energy.

Is there any way to generate that energy? Is there any way to generate energy naturally in that little book?

Just when He Ao started to study the contents of the small books in his memory that he could barely understand with pictures and the words were the same as Heavenly Book.

The sound of rapid footsteps suddenly came from the night, followed by a somewhat familiar voice, “Boss, come to a bowl of cold noodles.”

He looked up and caught sight of him It was a familiar face – a young man who almost demolished his house this afternoon.

The young man was stunned when he saw He Ao, then turned and ran.

He Ao didn’t move, because there was someone faster than him. It was the man in the trench coat. He flashed past He Ao’s booth like a light, chasing after the youth.

“Contact us if you need to.”

His words were cold and calm, much smoother than the embarrassment when he was just selling part-time jobs.

Accompanying this sentence, what fell in front of He Ao was a paper business card with black characters on a white background, um, the cheapest one on the market, with a simple unit name written on it.
