In the morning, Lin Xu did not make breakfast at home, but drove to the store with Shen Baobao to eat.

Today I have to attend Cheng Jianshe’s apprenticeship ceremony. I can’t be in the store all morning, and Guo Xinghai is not here either, so I have to arrange the work in the store.

The breakfast in the store is very rich, including mutton steamed buns.

The steamed buns were baked in the oven with leftover noodles last night. The chef on the morning shift used a knife to cut them into peanut-sized pieces, put them in the mutton soup, stewed them with vermicelli, day lily, fungus and other side dishes, and finally sprinkled them with chopped

Stir the slices of mutton.

A large pot of mutton steamed buns was brought outside, and employees could freely fill it up according to their own appetites.

After serving, add chopped garlic and coriander according to personal taste, and drizzle with chili sauce.

Lin Xu put two large bowls on the dining table, sat down with Baobao Shen, stirred the steamed buns in the bowl, pinched the sugar and garlic prepared on the table, and started eating.

The steamed buns baked from the dead noodles are simmered in the mutton soup. It has a chewy texture and is full of mutton soup. It tastes very enjoyable.

The steamed buns are somewhat greasy when eaten alone, but when paired with coriander, garlic sprouts and chili sauce, the greasiness is immediately neutralized, leaving only the aroma of mutton soup.

As for the sweet garlic, it is appetizing and refreshing, and is an excellent partner with steamed buns.

"This steamed bun is really delicious, but it's a pity that Dundun can't eat it, otherwise our family of three would eat delicious food together."

Shen Jiayue, who was wearing a black short windbreaker, was originally quite cold, but after taking two bites, she suddenly felt warm all over. She simply took off her coat and wore the white sweater underneath. While eating, she sighed that the steamed buns were delicious.

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"Cats are not suitable for eating such high-salt and high-oil food. It is better to eat steamed meat and boiled meat... By the way, don't forget to remind me to pack some braised food and go to Lelejia after dinner, Mr. Tateyama

You prepared a gift for me to celebrate my acceptance as a disciple. It’s not appropriate for us to take it empty-handed.”

For this kind of occasion where someone else is apprenticed, you can actually prepare some random gifts, because this is to observe the ceremony, not to follow the ceremony.

But when Geng Lishan heard that he had such fun, he took the initiative to write a calligraphy calligraphy of "Famous Teacher and Disciple" as a gift for Lin Xu to celebrate his apprenticeship, and his enthusiasm was beyond words.

To put it bluntly, recruiting a disciple this time is a confrontation between the two sides.

If a leader in the cultural circle sent such a painting to him, wouldn't this be a direct slap in the face to those old masters?

If you show it during the apprenticeship ceremony, it will definitely make the other party jump.

Therefore, it is said that intellectuals are all old silver coins. It turns out that the storm is about to come, and he is still making noises.

And I have to take this calligraphy, because it is Geng Lishan's calligraphy. Not to mention priceless, it is at least worth seven figures. Even if Lin Xu is not rare, the person involved still wants to collect it.

So I can only go to the scene with this text.

Whether it's a slap in the face or a favor, it all depends on how the other party interprets it.

"Xubao, do you think there will be a fight at noon today?"

"No, those who like to take action are not here. We are left with a group of old people with old arms and legs who can only talk a little bit."

If the master is not here, no one will take action.

Of course, if the master were in the capital, it is estimated that the seniors at Yanjing Hotel would not have this idea. After all, the name Gao Peisheng and his actions at Diaoyutai have been heard in the circle to some extent.

He is still ready to throw the crutches of Guo Jichang and others into the goldfish pond. When he was young, I couldn't imagine what it would be like to bully those old men.

While eating, Ma Zhiqiang brought a plate of fried steamed buns:

"Dipped in salt water and fried, what do you think?"

Lin Xu felt that eating steamed mutton buns was enough, so he brought some fried steamed bun slices. Wouldn't it make him even more tired?

However, combining carbohydrates with carbohydrates has always been a specialty of Lao Shaan's meals. Now that we have steamed bun slices, let's experience the joy of Lao Shaan's crazy carbohydrates today.

He picked up a piece of fried and browned steamed bun and took a bite. It was very crispy on the outside and not greasy at all. He should have raised the oil temperature after frying and put it back into the pan, otherwise the steamed bun would be a little greasy.

In addition to being fried well, the use of salt water is also very clever. It tastes salty and even has a hint of umami, making the steamed buns crispy and delicious.

As for the inside of the steamed bun slices, they are fragrant and delicious, forming a strong contrast with the crispy outside.

If I remember correctly, no one was steaming steamed buns this morning, but there were some leftover steamed buns in the cold storage. They were about two days old and were cold and hard... Could these steamed bun slices be made from those leftover steamed buns?

Lin Xu smacked his lips and suddenly understood the key to this.

It should be that during the frying process, the salt water on the surface of the steamed bun slices penetrated into the inside of the steamed bun slices driven by the hot oil.

Then the outside of the steamed bun slices is fried, and the moisture is locked inside. As the temperature of the oil outside rises, it turns into water vapor, which passively softens the inside of the steamed bun.

This is a good move.

However, it is not easy to grasp it well, because the steamed bun slices will not become soft if they are dipped in too little salt water, and there is a danger of soaking in the lake if they are dipped in too much salt water.

He looked at Ma Zhiqiang and asked:

"This steamed bun slice is good, did you fry it?"

Ma Zhiqiang pointed at Qi Siliang, who was chatting with Che Zi with his rice bowl not far away, and said:

"No, it was Qi Siliang who did it. He moved to our place last night and shared a room with Che Zai Niu Chuang and Master Xu so that he could get along with his colleagues more easily."

Moved out of Qi Zhentao’s house?

That's fine. I go out to work to earn money, and I'm not here to visit relatives. It's not a problem to stay with Qi's family all the time.

Shu Yun happened to come to work at this moment, and Lin Xu said to her:

"When you raise wages this month, please add Qi Siliang's rental subsidy to encourage this motivated young man... In addition, the heating is turned on, and everyone should have paid the heating bill. You can discuss it with Sister Jing and give it to all employees.

Pay a sum of money for the heating bill, you decide how much it will be...don’t forget to pay some for yourself too."

The store's business is booming, and the employees' welfare must keep up.

Moreover, it is cold in winter, and poor rest directly affects work efficiency.

Shu Yun held a piece of steamed bun and took a bite:

"Okay boss, I will send a message to Mr. Dou later... Hey, these steamed bun slices are well fried and delicious."

Lin Xu stuffed the remaining slices of steamed buns into his mouth and pursed his lips towards Qi Siliang:

"Qi Siming fried it. If you want to eat it later, just ask him to fry it. Qi Siming said that he is good at making fried dishes. It seems that he really has two brushes."

After finishing the delicious meal, Lin Xu did not set off immediately. The apprenticeship ceremony only started at eleven o'clock in the morning, so there was no need to rush there.

Let both parties brew their emotions.

Only in this way can Geng Lishan's calligraphy for arching fire be effective.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, after all the work in the store was arranged, Lin Xu, carrying two bags of food and drink, drove to the alley entrance of Geng Lishan's house with Baobao Shen holding Dundun in his arms.

As soon as he stabilized the car, Geng Lishan staggered out of the alley with his hands behind his back.

Lin Xu pushed the door and got out of the car. The old man also came to the front of the car and handed forward a calligraphy and painting scroll under his arm:

"Please make sure again whether it is the character in this picture. Don't mistake it for the best duck in the world. That would be a joke."

Lin Xu: "..."

Geng, do you think you are very humorous?

Although he felt bad, he still opened it and took a look. After confirming that it was a famous teacher and a disciple, he opened the back door and placed it on the back seat.

While busy, they all muttered:

"You are so arrogant, it is not like a cultural person."

Geng Lishan said with a smile:

"It's just a matter of pleasure, without any other meaning... Besides, I am a greedy little old man. The circle of intellectuals is so dirty, I can't afford it."

I think you are quite suitable... Lin Xu opened the trunk, took the various braised foods and packaged dishes out of the car, and asked Geng Lishan:

"You really don't want to go with us?"

Geng Lishan was very aware of everyone's reaction after he sent this calligraphy out, and said with a smile:

"Forget it, I don't like this kind of occasion. Besides, you've given me so much delicious food. It's only right to get drunk at home. Everything else is just smoke and mirrors."

I don’t dare to go because I’m afraid that both sides will really fall out and beat you up, right?

Lin Xu muttered something in his heart, and then handed over the bag in his hand:

"There are all kinds of dishes. Please take your time and don't drink too much... Didn't Boss Huang send a few flowers withered last time? Let's heat it up and drink it. Eat and drink enough and get a good sleep."
p>

Geng Lishan laughed:

"Okay, okay, just listen to you, brother. Remember to tell me about the situation when you come back."

Tsk, tsk, tsk, you still said that there is no other meaning in writing those words?

Saying goodbye to Geng Lishan, who occasionally flirted, Lin Xu drove straight to the place where he would apprentice today, the Yanjing Hotel.

It stands to reason that when seniors from Diaoyutai recruit disciples, they must do so at Diaoyutai.

But this time, I obviously wanted to support my own people, so I chose Yanjing Hotel.

However, even though it was an away game, the Diaoyutai side was not timid. When the Eighteen Arhats led by Senior Brother Xie Baomin went there, their deterrence was quite strong.

Coupled with the addition of more than a dozen masters at the same level as Guo Jichang, who wouldn’t be embarrassed to see this?
