Chapter 343: Look at what kind of flowers he sent?
"I don't write my full name because I don't want to expose my privacy. It's a neutral name at best. You all learned bad things from Lao Guo!" Da Zhuang shook his head in pain.
The others burst into laughter. While they were talking, the three plates of beef in front of them were empty, and Zhao Xiaojing ordered a fourth plate.
"Actually, this name is fine. It's mainly because Da Zhuang sounds too rustic. If you call it that for a long time, it will be very funny to hear your real name again." Su Yuchen explained. "Then why are you called Da Zhuang?"
"If you want to run a social media account, you have to give it a friendly name so that others can remember it. For example, Li Zi is called Li Zi, Lao Guo is called Guo Guo, if I'm called Mr. Shi and post some food videos, wouldn't it sound weird?"
"It's not surprising. There are many unconventional names on social media that are still popular. But the three of us have been calling each other by these nicknames since we first met. If I were to call you Mr. Shi, I'd feel really uncomfortable." Li Zi pretended to get goose bumps.
"Same, I feel quite sick even if you call me Ranran now!" Da Zhuang glared at Guo Gaoang.
"We're just eating hotpot, why are you saying such corny words?" Guo Gaoang smiled.
"You know what, this beef in sour soup tastes really good, it's perfect for someone like me who loves heavy flavors," Su Yuchen praised.
"Sour soup fish is also delicious, but beef is still the best. We can eat sour soup beef four times in two days on the first trip. Jingzi, are you going to put this pot-roasted pork elbow on the menu?" While everyone was scooping up the beef, Guo Gaoang picked up the last piece of pot-roasted pork elbow on the plate, dipped it in tiger sauce, and tasted it slowly with enjoyment.
"No, this dish is a bit difficult to make, and it's not suitable for a fast food restaurant. Besides, I just made it a little better, so I need more practice."
"Fast food restaurants can't afford the price either. This dish probably requires some work, so it's not cost-effective to put it on the menu." said Da Zhuang, who knows the goods.
"Chef, every dish requires effort. The rice with toppings alone is so many times more delicious than what you eat outside. The heat is not something that every chef can control. Otherwise, how could people remember it so much, right, Ranran?" Li Zi looked at the three large buckets of flowers by the wall, raised her eyebrows, and smiled at Dazhuang slyly.
Da Zhuang was puzzled. "You can tell whether my kung fu is good or not by eating it yourself. Why are you asking me?"
"What kind of trap are you setting for him?" Guo Gaoang asked with interest.
Seeing that the others also looked confused, Lizi smiled slightly, "Old Guo, I won't tell you about sending all your flowers home, but Dazhuang and I sorted and packed our flowers ourselves and designated where to send them."
"Well, then what?"
"Look at it."
"You're quite good at matching. Is it a comb? The colors match really well." Guo Gaoang turned his head and looked at the flowers.
"Did I ask you to look at this?" Li Zi was furious. "Look at what kind of flowers he sent? We even went to find out about it. You wouldn't have forgotten it after filming the video, would you?"
"Lily of the valley, pink amaryllis, royal lily, thousand-year-old orchid, bells... bell clematis? Wow! Da Zhuang, you send whatever is expensive! Ordinary flowers are just sent as a foil!" Guo Gaoang exclaimed.
"Are these flowers expensive? I remember I bought a wind chime for 2 yuan online last year?" Yun Yongyuan, a frequent flower buyer, scratched his head.
"Yours is wind bell flower, this is lily of the valley, they are different! You can only buy a small bunch at retail for 300 yuan outside, and look at what season it is now? Ordinary flower shops dare not stock this stuff, fearing that the price is too high and they can't sell it and lose money! Hey, I said I'm a foodie, Da Zhuang, you are even worse than me! Just to come here to eat hot pot, you rushed to send a bunch of specialties, and you sent such expensive flowers, are you trying to get a few meals?"
"..." Da Zhuang, who was embarrassed by the pear and didn't know what to say, laughed when he heard Guo Gaoang's words. "Yes, yes, I'm a foodie, and I'm hoping that the chef will be in a good mood when he sees the flowers and cook a few more dishes!"
"Just come directly next time. We practice cooking here every Tuesday when the store is closed. Just tell us in advance what you want to eat and don't send such expensive food." Zhao Xiaojing was secretly shocked when she heard the price and secretly glanced at the flowers.
What a shame! I didn’t know this flower was so expensive. What did the flowers whose heads I cut off that day look like?
"Pfft!" Wan Yuyue laughed out loud, remembering the three people who were cutting flowers while scolding 'Mr. Shi', "Yeah, please don't give it to us. Giving us flowers is worse than giving us vegetables!"
"I'm going to buy a few vases this afternoon. Such expensive flowers can't be kept in iron buckets anymore. I'll change the water later." Yun Yongyuan muttered with concern.
While chatting and laughing, Li Zi raised an eyebrow and glanced at Da Zhuang, then looked at the crowd who were completely unaware, pondered for a moment, smiled silently, and lowered her head to eat.
It was a rare break, and after cleaning up the kitchen, Wan Yuyue and Yun Yongyuan didn't want to stay and practice anymore. They packed up their failed dishes from the morning and left the restaurant. Zhao Xiaojing didn't want to work anymore, so she asked Su Yuchen to go shopping and watch a movie together, but Su Yuchen smiled embarrassedly.
"I was only planning to record three songs as a test, but after I went there yesterday, Uncle Wen and the tuner were very satisfied, so I recorded two more songs. I have to go again today... How about you come with me?"
"Why should I join you? Do we need to record the audience's applause as well? Just go ahead. It's okay. I'll stay in the restaurant and practice cooking."
"Then I'll call you when I'm almost done. You can have dinner with us and I'll take you to eat the dry-fried gluten restaurant I mentioned. Didn't we say that we should eat out more often and explore other restaurants? I'll pack it for you, so why don't you go eat it yourself?"
"That's fine. I'll practice at the restaurant this afternoon. Call me in the evening."
The two of them roughly agreed on a time. Su Yuchen stopped driving, left the car keys to Zhao Xiaojing, and left early.
Zhao Xiaojing thought about the difference between the pot-braised pork elbow she made at noon and the one made by her instructor in the virtual space. She carefully recalled the entire process and entered the virtual space again to practice.
"Let it cool, then cut the string along the long end, wipe off the moisture, and then hang the batter."
Zhao Xiaojing suddenly understood.
The instructor had said this before, but the knowledge points were too dense and she ignored it for a moment.
She also noticed that although the instructor seemed to be rolling the thick egg batter in one go, he was actually very slow. He did not place the elbow directly on the plate, but tilted it at a certain angle to ensure that every gap in the elbow was evenly and smoothly coated, and there was very little need for filling afterwards, so the overall result was more beautiful.
Zhao Xiaojing immediately reorganized the ingredients and started another round of practice on cooking pork elbows...
[Ding~ Main quest dispatched]
Just as Zhao Xiaojing put the pork elbow into the steamer and started to cook the lychee meat during the break, the system prompt sounded.
The long-awaited main mission! Zhao Xiaojing was refreshed and waited with her back straightened.
