Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Dark-bellied Old Gu
Xu Qiao's little show of skills surprised Zhou Yansheng who rushed back and walked around Xu Qiao several times: "It turns out that he is a good girl with cleverness. I know that this girl is not ordinary!"
He knows that people with tricky tastes are not only sensitive to taste buds, but also have their own way to deal with simple ingredients.
Just like the same ingredients, seasonings, processes, and heat, the taste of each person makes is very different.
Those who like to settle down will also become settled.
People who love life food have a unique taste.
A thousand people use the same method to make this fish-flavored eggplant, which may produce a thousand tastes. Xu Qiao is obviously the most important one!
The aroma of soy sauce explodes on the tip of the tongue, and the sweet and sourness lingers the lips and tongue to produce saliva, which is slightly sweet and sour, which stimulates a great increase in appetite.
After Gu Chengchuan tasted a mouthful of fish-flavored eggplant, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Qiao without expressing any comments.
Xu Qiao didn't care about Zhou Yansheng and Liu Jingchi's opinions. She looked at Gu Chengchuan with slightly round eyes. She wanted to get his recognition. She was a little excited. The life-saving benefactor ate the dishes she cooked!
Gu Chengchuan was slightly furious when he was staring at Xu Qiao. He grabbed another piece of eggplant and put it in his mouth. He chewed it lightly and nodded: "It's very good!"
Zhou Yansheng looked at Gu Chengchuan with disgust: "Tsk tsk, Lao Gu, I have been serving you for so long, when did you praise me?"
Liu Jingchi pressed his eyebrows and his expression was a little unclear.
Both he and Zhou Yansheng knew that Gu Chengchuan was lying. After experiencing those things, Gu Chengchuan's taste buds had problems and could not sensitively distinguish the ups and downs of the food.
So he likes to eat candy, like trying hard to remember some beautiful tastes.
No one knows about this except for the two of them, including Gu Chengchuan's closest family.
Xu Qiao was satisfied, smiling and her eyebrows were bent: "That's good, I'm afraid you don't like sweet-sweet-tasting ones. But if you like to eat candy, you should be able to accept it."
As he said that, he looked at Liu Jingchi again: "Doctor Liu, you should take it quickly, too."
The atmosphere of lunch was quite harmonious. After the meal, Zhou Yan was afraid of washing dishes, and claimed that she was afraid that the store would be too busy, so she left in a hurry.
What can I do in the store? I don’t even have a customer!
Liu Jingchi consciously cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash.
Xu Qiao was not polite either. What she hated the most was washing dishes. She could meticulously craft every dish, but she was tired of the final finishing. The greasy stove rice bowl made her feel sorry for her hands that would be eroded by dishwashing detergent.
So the most luxurious thing in her kitchen used to be the dishwasher! This must be available!
As a patient, Gu Chengchuan naturally went to the sofa to sit and rest after dinner, and flipped his hand over yesterday's Yanzhao Evening News.
Xu Qiao leaned over while she had nothing to do, squatted obediently across from Gu Chengchuan, and looked up at the back of the newspaper with her little face.
Gu Chengchuan: "..."
I didn't dare to turn it around for a long time, for fear of delaying the squatting little girl reading the newspaper. Although I really wanted to ask her how she could read it, I guess she wouldn't ask anything even if she asked.
She does nothing and does not hide anything, and she doesn't care about other people's eyes at all.
She is also a girl who can tell lies with confidence!
Xu Qiao didn't like reading newspapers, but after all, the Internet was so developed. I could enjoy the food every day when I swim around the Internet.
She doesn't like reading newspapers with positive energy like this.
Looking at the urban section and all kinds of trivial news, it is quite interesting to read now.
...Where did the lottery players win five million.
Which village has some unfilial sons?
What is the hot summer? Enthusiastic people bring coolness to nursing homes.
Also, it is almost August 1st, and each unit is visiting the soldiers of the people, and what military and local friendship is there...
After reading it with interest, Xu Qiaorao asked casually: "I found a problem. As long as an accident occurs, you can always see your firefighters from the newspaper, no matter how big or small, you can always see them in the newspaper. You are simply omnipotent..."
After saying that, he poked the newspaper with his finger: "Flip it over and read it."
Gu Chengchuan obediently shook the newspaper. He spread out the area and saw that Xu Qiao could read more.
Xu Qiao squatted and moved her feet, stretched her neck to browse it quickly, finished reading the gossip that she was interested in, and then went to see various advertisements in the cracks.
An advertisement for the Folk Food Competition caught her attention.
It is an advertisement for the registration of the folk food competition organized by the Provincial TV station and hosted by the Shishi Food Association.
This competition is mainly to collect folk food from all over the country, and those who enter the finals will have a prize of 1,000 yuan.
One first prize, ten thousand yuan.
Two second prizes, five thousand yuan.
Three third prizes, three thousand yuan.
Xu Qiao's eyes widened, ten thousand yuan!
A 10,000 yuan per year can buy a house in the county town under Shi City.
He reached out to grab the newspaper with a heart-warming feeling, got up and sat beside Gu Chengchuan without hesitation, and pointed out the advertisement in the cracks with excitement: "Gu Chengchuan, look! This is 10,000! Oh my god, the first prize is 10,000!"
Gu Chengchuan just glanced at this newspaper. He had read it last night, so he had known about it for a long time, and naturally he knew that Xu Qiao would see it.
Just seeing Xu Qiao's excited look, he bent his eyes and laughed silently.
Xu Qiao looked at the newspaper seriously, and the registration address was Yingchun Hotel on North China Street.
I quietly complained in my heart that the hotel name held in such a tall and last competition is a bit rustic.
He looked at Gu Chengchuan curiously: "Is North China Street far away from here?"
Gu Chengchuan thought for a while: "It's not far away, it's more than ten minutes to drive, and there's no direct bus. It takes some time to walk."
Xu Qiao: "..."
Just ask, are they saying they want to walk?
"You want to attend?"
Xu Qiao nodded excitedly: "Yes, after all, I am so poor now. I definitely don't expect the salary of this hotel." Especially Zhou Yansheng, the unreliable boss!
Gu Chengchuan nodded and pointed to the newspaper: "You have to see clearly. You need to prepare the ingredients yourself. The organizer will not provide them."
Xu Qiao again: "..."
She is now poor and can’t afford the ingredients that have entered the preliminary round, let alone the semi-finals and finals.
I couldn't help biting my lower lip and thought for a while: "I want to participate too."
Gu Chengchuan was very "kind" to remind her: "You can participate in the name of your own, so that all the ingredients will be solved by Zhou Yansheng!"
Xu Qiao turned her head and looked at Gu Chengchuan in surprise, and couldn't help but murmur: "Is it OK to plot against Zhou Yansheng like this?"
Gu Chengchuan raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Some people like to be plotted against."
Zhou Yansheng, who was sitting at the bar at the hotel, sneezed inexplicably and called the waiter to turn the temperature of the air conditioner up, otherwise it would cost too much electricity!
