"squeak"
As soon as the door made a sound, Li Zhaodi, who was as silent as a statue, immediately stood up straight and stared at the door that made the sound, for fear of missing something.
When Yuanzhou opened the door and came out, before he could say hello to Rice, Romeo and the others, he felt a strong gaze and looked up, and instantly saw Li Zhaodi's figure.
He was not sure if he came to see him, but he still said politely, "Are you here to see me? What can I do for you?"
Yuan Zhou was quite used to meeting people who came to see him at the back door. First, there was an old man selling mulberries, and then there was an old woman who came to buy fried rice with eggs for her daughter. In addition, there were some people who saw the opportunity. Quickly, the salesperson with a very flexible mind will also wait at the back door just to say a few words to him.
It seemed like Yuan Zhou might agree to endorse their products or accept their invitation.
Yuan Zhou felt very fascinated. He was a chef, and people came to him to endorse various shampoos and skin care products. Last time, a lipstick manufacturer actually came to him. This was very rare, because almost all of these products were sold by little fresh meat. Take it all.
In fact, these manufacturers mainly want to use the selling point of "domestic honor" that Yuan Zhou has brought glory to the country before.
Li Zhaodi didn't have such complicated thoughts as Yuan Zhou. She was still thinking about how to speak, but she didn't expect that Yuan Zhou would take the initiative to ask. Then she quickly walked over and walked to a place three steps away from Yuan Zhou. She just stood still. Like a machine gun, he immediately opened his mouth and clearly stated the purpose of his visit.
"Hello, Chef Yuan, I'm Li Zhaodi. I came here today to ask for your help. I heard that you sell the most authentic bean chicken here. Can you sell some to me?"
After speaking, Li Zhaodi stared at Yuan Zhou eagerly. Her eyes were staring at people with huge bags. There were still many bloodshot eyes in them. Her face was pale. To be honest, Yuan Zhou was brave. It was afternoon again. Otherwise, it would be late at night, and most people would think that they have encountered a female ghost.
Seeing that Yuan Zhou didn't reply for a while, Li Zhaodi became a little anxious, and immediately added: "I asked many people, and they all said that only Chef Yuan's bean chicken has the taste of her childhood. My daughter is thinking about this. It tastes like it was when I was a kid, but now I can no longer taste the same taste as before.”
Yuan Zhou has encountered this many times when he can't taste the same taste as before. Not only Chinese people, but foreigners as well. Singapore's national treasure chefs also have similar feelings.
Yuanzhou has long analyzed that on the one hand, it is difficult to surpass the memory, and on the other hand, the living environment at that time was difficult, which would enhance the taste of food.
There are also other factors, and why do many people say that Yuan Zhou can be restored? Mainly because he makes it delicious.
"I want my daughter to be able to taste the taste of her childhood. I wonder if I can help. I can give a lot of money."
As she spoke, Li Zhaodi reached into her trouser pocket and took out a slightly old wallet. The burrs had grown on it. It was obvious that the wallet had been used for a long time. In a hurry, she forgot everything Tian Fang said about Yuan Zhou, such as She has high skills, such as not lacking money, being kind-hearted, saying things well, etc. She just knows that she must fulfill her daughter's wish, no matter what the cost.
It has been a long time since someone took money from someone, but Yuanzhou was not unhappy when he saw the anxious look on Li Zhaodi's face. For such a mother who cares about her children, Yuanzhou is willing to help, just like She was just like the old woman before who loved her daughter as much as her life. He felt that if his mother were still alive, she would definitely care about him in this way and work hard to fulfill his wish.
"It takes a long time to make this bean chicken. You need to wait. You'd better go back and wait until the evening." Yuan Zhou thought about it and looked at the tiredness and anxiety on Li Zhaodi's expression and said directly: "At 5:30 in the afternoon Come over here again, I will be waiting for you at the door then, it’s two hundred and eighty yuan a piece, that’s all you need to prepare.”
He was afraid that if he didn't make it clear what time it was, the slightly tired lady might be waiting at his back door for hours.
"Ah? Thank you, thank you, thank you Chef Yuan."
Li Zhaodi was still thinking hard about what else she could say to get Yuan Zhou to agree. Suddenly she agreed, with a flash of light in her eyes, and she hurriedly bent down to thank her. Only then did she see Yuan Zhou's hand. The tools and garbage bags inside, my eyes lit up, and I immediately felt that my gratitude had a way to repay.
"Chef Yuan is going to throw away the garbage there, right? Give it to me. I know how to deal with it. Tian Fang also said about Chef Yuan's habits. Don't worry, just leave it to me. I promise to go there with Chef Yuan in person. Like this." Li Zhaodi looked at Yuan Zhou eagerly, hoping that he would agree.
There is nothing else to be grateful for, but she is professional in taking out the trash and cleaning up the trash cans. She has been working in this industry for more than ten years and is very familiar with it. She is still confident in this.
Hearing Tian Fang's name, Yuanzhou knew why Li Zhaodi was waiting for him at the back door. He knew that Tian Fang was the sanitation worker who managed Taoxi Road sanitation. Although the two of them didn't have many opportunities to meet, they still had a tacit understanding. It worked. After all, Yuan Zhou would clean up the garbage near the trash can every time, and Tian Fang would occasionally come to the shop to eat a dish. He also knew it.
Looking at Li Zhaodi's enthusiastic and expectant expression, Yuanzhou thought for a while and handed the two things in his hands to her and said: "That's troublesome, I'll go back and prepare to make bean chicken."
Yuan Zhou felt that Li Zhaodi would be happier if he made this snack as soon as possible. As expected, Li Zhaodi's whole body became a little brighter when Yuan Zhou said this.
To make bean chicken, you need to boil the soy milk to form an oily skin, so the first thing Yuan Zhou did when he returned to the kitchen was to grind the soy milk. Fortunately, he had already soaked the beans in the morning. This was made for the tofu feast in the evening. As for the preparation work, we were supposed to start grinding the soy milk in a while, but it’s almost time to start.
"Fortunately, I prepared a few extra kilograms of beans just in case. It seems to be just fine now." Yuan Zhou observed the soaking of the beans.
After finding that it was ready, he immediately started scooping up, draining, rinsing, etc. The movements were fast and rhythmic. When the beans were ready, Yuanzhou began to clean the small stone mill.
Even though he uses the stone grinder that he washes every day, Yuan Zhou still has a habit of washing it again before each use.
On the other hand, Li Zhaodi had already put the garbage in the trash can. She took the small broom given by Yuan Zhou and started the work that Yuan Zhou did every day, removing all the garbage that other people around the trash can accidentally or carelessly or deliberately threw outside the trash can. Clean up and pour into a bucket.
"Brother Tian, it's great to have a resident like Chef Yuan here." Li Zhaodi muttered.
She is a sanitation worker on the streets not far from Tianfang. She has been doing this for many years and has never met anyone like Yuan Zhou. She is really envious of her. Besides, he is also very kind and easy to talk to. He is very nice. Envious and jealous.
Of course, because too many things happened in the past month, and Tian Fang also gave her a lot of help, Li Zhaodi was embarrassed to continue to be jealous of him, but it did not prevent her from envying Tian Fang and admiring Yuan Zhou.
Li Zhaodi was naturally familiar with the things she was used to doing. She finished her work quickly. She returned to the back door with a small broom and other things. After she placed everything in the place where Yuan Zhou had said before, she did not follow his instructions. He went back to rest as he said, but continued to stand back at the corner and waited.
Of course, I still can’t forget to take out the latest fruit phone to look at it from time to time, maybe because I’m afraid of losing it
