Chapter 246 Killing the Chicken
At first, the two were indeed making meatballs, fish balls to be precise.
Wu Minqi has been in Shu all year round. The Wu family restaurant usually does not use sea fish in cooking, and she rarely cooks fish on weekdays. But Ji Xue is different. She has been dealing with various seafood products since she was a child. She has sold vegetables in the wet market, worked in the kitchen of a hotel, and even sold barbecue and beer at the night market. Both of them like to delve into cooking skills, and now they naturally hit it off when they get together. They want to try making fish balls in the same way as meat balls.
When Jiang Feng entered the kitchen with two cups of ice milk tea, the two of them were still attacking Longliyu.
"It took too long to fry just now, and I think it's enough to put a few drops of lemon juice on it. There's no need to brush it with honey." Ji Xueyao said.
"It's not necessary to brush it with honey, but I think you can marinate it with honey first." Wu Minqi said thoughtfully.
Jiang Feng stepped forward and handed them the milk tea and said with a smile: "The kitchen is not boring enough. Let's go out and get some fresh air."
Wu Minqi picked up a piece of fish and fed it to Jiang Feng, saying, "Try it, we all think the taste is a bit wrong."
"It's a bit strange." Jiang Feng clicked his tongue, "Weren't you still studying fish balls before? Why did it become fried fish again?"
"Do whatever you want." Wu Minqi picked up the lemon black tea and took a sip. She turned to Ji Xue with a smile and said, "Axue, there are still more than an hour before going to work in the afternoon. You should go find a place to rest. I heard Uncle Jiang say You came early in the morning and are still busy on the first day of opening today.”
"Yes, I heard from Ji Yue that you have been leaving early and returning late these days. Today is the first official day of work. Go back early and have a good rest. The new store has opened and there is insufficient funds. I can't afford your overtime. Salary." Jiang Feng agreed with a smile.
Ji Xue was stunned. Ever since she dropped out of school to work at the age of 14, apart from her parents and her younger sister who would tell her to have a good rest and not to tire herself, there were very few people urging her to rest.
She has only been in Peiping for a week. Ji Yue, who lives with her, will persuade her to rest more. Wu Minqi will ask her to rest. Jiang Feng will tell her to work less overtime and go back to rest early. Jiang Jiankang will ask her to see her as the first one to come to the kitchen every day. If she sleeps more and comes later, the two old men will ask her to go back early in the evening so that she will not be busy in the kitchen until the early morning.
Even Sang Ming, who had only known her for a few days and had barely exchanged a few words with each other as colleagues, would tell her to stop doing it when he saw her cleaning up the kitchen at night, saying that it was not the job of a stove cook.
"Okay." Ji Xue smiled slightly at Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi.
She loves this place.
Like it very much.
She wants to work here for the rest of her life.
The evening business went smoothly. Since today is the first day of business, all employees of Tai Feng Building need to come to work. There is no shift schedule, but Fang Mei has made the schedule early in the morning.
Except for members of the Jiang family, Wu Minqi and Ji Xue voluntarily work all year round, everyone else takes six days off and one day off, 10 days of paid leave a year, annual leave is included in addition, four times the salary during holidays, plus working meals included. It is definitely a good job that is difficult to find even with a lantern.
Still, there are people who are dissatisfied.
Yang Li, Qi Rou's fellow villager, finally had a name before being killed to scare the monkeys, and after the evening business peak period, she dragged Qi Rou to complain.
"Qi Rou, do you think that old woman Fang Mei is sick? Didn't I just introduce the broken ordering system to the guests at noon? What a big deal, only fools can't understand that thing and we need to introduce it. She was just looking for trouble, but she actually asked me in front of so many people, who did she think she was!" Yang Li's face was full of resentment, and it was obvious that she had a grudge against Fang Mei.
"She is the manager." Qi Ju said.
Yang Li was choked by the word "Qi Rou" and couldn't speak for a long time. She suddenly became angry: "Where are you from? Qi Rou, don't forget, if I hadn't brought you out, you would have stayed in that shabby place to get married. Okay, do you have any conscience? I really didn’t expect you to be so adaptable to the wind. What a great manager! She went to some crappy school in England. I think she just couldn't pass the college entrance examination and went to a random university abroad because of her family's rich money. She just showed off every day. What the hell? Stuff! ”
Ji Yue, who was originally looking for the chicken she planned to kill tonight, didn't expect that she would actually find someone and watch such a good show at the same time. She was not in a hurry anyway, so she stood silently in the corner, wanting to see Yang. What other shocking words could Li say? She also wanted to see how Qi Rou, who had been following her like a little tail, would react.
"The manager is from Surrey University." Qi Ju said.
"Qi Rou, what do you mean?" Yang Li raised her voice, "Do you want to side with that old woman Fang Mei now? Don't forget who brought you out. It wasn't me. Are you still here? Your parents arranged a blind date in that shabby rural place to get married! It’s all because of me that you came to Peking! I can see that you are the one. You're a villain! You've been following Ji Yue like a pug since the first day. Now you think you don't need me because you've flattered Ji Yue. You have such a villainous face and You are really a nest of snakes and rats! Then stop living with me and get out of here today!”
"Yang Li, first of all, you just live in the same village as me. Sister Yanyan helped persuade my parents that I could come to Peking. My parents bought me the bus ticket, and my brother secretly gave me the money. It has nothing to do with you. No relationship. Secondly, Sister Yanyan and I paid the rent, not you. Pay a penny, and if you have any dissatisfaction with me, you can move out at any time. I don't owe you anything, and I don't need you to dictate every aspect of me. I have the right to choose my friends and the ability to judge whether to be friends with others. ." Qi Rou said calmly.
"I don't like you. You and I are just fellow villagers, so no matter what you say, I won't react. But I like Sister Ji Yue very much. Please be respectful with your mouth." After Qi Rou finished speaking, she stopped looking at Yang Li and turned around to leave. .
He happened to bump into Ji Yue who had been eavesdropping in the corner.
Ji Yue didn't have any embarrassment when the real owner caught her eavesdropping. She walked out of the corner with a smile, as if she didn't see Yang Li's face suddenly changed, and said: "The room manager is looking for you."
Yang Li glared at Qi Rou angrily. She was sure in her heart just now that Qi Rou had discovered Ji Yue a long time ago and just deliberately provoked her to say these words.
"Qi Rou, be careful at all times, otherwise one day the lightning will strike and you will be harmed." Ji Yue watched the show for a long time and gained a die-hard fan girl. She was in a good mood, "Let's go to dinner. Today's dish is Jiang Feng fried rice." Yes, it’s not as delicious as Uncle Jiang’s fried yam yesterday. I’ll ask you to eat it some other time when he makes the shredded yam.”
"Okay." Qi Rou followed Ji Yue like a little tail.
"You just said you like me very much. Why do you like me?" Ji Yue asked. She didn't remember anything special she had done to Qirou, and she didn't seem to have paid special attention to her.
"Because, because I saw the painting you painted that day, Sister Ji Yue." Qi Rou whispered, very nervous facing her idol, "I also like painting very much. I think you draw very well, Sister Ji Yue, and I like you very much, Sister Ji Yue. ”
Ji Yue suddenly realized that she had been drawing in the shop a few days ago. She was drawing the four-panel Tai Feng Tower comic that Zhang Guanghang mentioned before. She randomly drew a few drafts on paper and brought them over to Jiang Feng and the others.
"Learned it?"
"No."
"Where do you live?" Ji Yue asked.
"Ah?" Qirou reported an address. It was a very remote suburb. The rent was very cheap, and it was an area she could afford.
"I remember that we both have a day off next Wednesday. You can come to my house and I will teach you." Ji Yue said.
"Okay!"
The kitchen is no longer busy and everyone can take turns to eat. Zhang Weiyu, who had just returned from dinner, was cleaning up while talking to Jiang Feng.
"I don't know what happened over there in the lobby. None of them came to eat. I just saw them all gathered together as if they were having a meeting." Zhang Weiyu said.
"Killing the chicken." Jiang Feng said.
Zhang Weiyu:? ? ? Kill a chicken? ? ?
