Chapter 279 Young and Green (1)
After dinner, Zhang Zhiyun and his family regained their energy and prepared to go shopping. Jiang Feng separated from them at the subway station and told them to take a taxi back if they got lost again. As long as it wasn't the evening rush hour, there wouldn't be too much traffic in Beiping City.
It was already after 8 o'clock when Jiang Feng got home. There was no one at home, and Wu Minqi hadn't come back yet. When Jiang Feng was downstairs, he saw that the lights on these floors were all dim except for the fifth uncle's house.
It seems that business at Tai Feng Building is good today. In the past, the eldest aunt has already come back.
Even though there was no one at home, Jiang Feng still slipped into the toilet as usual. You will feel at ease only when you enter the toilet. Someone may break into the bedroom, but it is rare for someone to break into the toilet.
Jiang Feng opened the attribute panel and flipped to the item bar. He hesitated between Zhang Chu's memory and Cao Guixiang's memory, and chose Cao Guixiang's.
He could guess the general plot of Zhang Chu's memory, and he could also guess the dish. It must be fried noodles with soybean paste. There was no sense of mystery or novelty. On the contrary, it is Cao Guixiang's memory that was touched by the window frame, which is very mysterious.
Clicking on [A Memory of Cao Guixiang], Jiang Feng was instantly shrouded in fog.
"Guixiang, have you killed the fish? Cut it into small pieces with a diagonal knife and pickle it with ingredients. This carp will be used to make spiced fish at noon today."
"Okay, Master."
When Jiang Feng could see his surroundings clearly, he found that he was in the kitchen.
It must be the back kitchen of Yongheju. There are quite a few chefs and everyone is busy working. It must be summer when everyone is wearing short shirts. Even though there is no fire in the stove and everyone is in the preparation stage, many people are already sweating profusely.
Cao Guixiang is very easy to recognize, because she is the only girl in the whole kitchen, and the others are old men or young men.
At this time, Cao Guixiang looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. She was also wearing a short shirt, with beads of sweat on her forehead. She was holding a carp in her hand that had been scaled, decapitated, finned, and gutted.
Jiang Feng originally thought that since Cao Guixiang made Zhang Chu fall in love at first sight when she was young, she must have been quite beautiful. But looking at her now, it can only be said that she is average-looking and can barely be called pretty. She is the kind of person who might not be able to find her at a glance even if Jiang Feng is thrown into the crowd.
Only the eyes are very smart and shine like stars.
Cao Guixiang, who is less than 20 years old, is already quite good at swordsmanship.
I saw Cao Guixiang pick up the knife in his hand, cut the fish into two pieces from the head down along the backbone, and then quickly changed the angle of the knife to cut the fish into small pieces. The fish pieces appeared on the chopping board.
Then Cao Guixiang puts the fish pieces into a small bowl, adds salt, green onions, ginger, vinegar, soy sauce and cooking wine to marinate.
"Master, the fish is ready," Cao Guixiang said.
Cao Guixiang's master is a slightly fat middle-aged man with no expression on his face. There is a big mole on the right side of his face, which makes him look a bit serious and scary.
"Leave it alone, go and find where your second senior brother has gone. You can't see anyone else from now on." Master Cao Guixiang said.
"Okay Master." Cao Guixiang took a ladle of water from the bucket in the corner and washed her hands before going out to find someone.
Zhang Chu was right. The area of Yongheju at that time was not as large as it was later. Landscape paintings were hung on the walls, and the tables and chairs were made of excellent wood and carvings. It was indeed a well-established and well-established restaurant.
"Manager Zhang, have you seen my second senior brother Qin Guisheng?" Cao Guixiang went to find Manager Zhang who was settling accounts at the counter.
Manager Zhang is a middle-aged man in his 40s, dressed very formally, even wearing long sleeves and trousers on a hot day, and he looks polite.
"Qin Guisheng? He seems to be on the second floor. I just saw him go up. By the way, Guixiang, remember to remind your master that our store responded to the call of the street office and will deliver herbal tea to the elderly over 70 years old in the alley tomorrow. Let him not forget Yes." Manager Zhang said.
Manager Zhang is the public manager. On weekdays, he attends meetings at the subdistrict office.
"Okay, don't worry, Manager Zhang." Cao Guixiang said and went upstairs.
"Wait a minute, don't leave yet, I have something to tell you." Manager Zhang stopped Cao Guixiang, asked her to come to him and whispered: "Didn't I go to the street office for a meeting yesterday? Aunt Zheng and I said you can become a regular employee next month at the latest.”
"Really?" Cao Guixiang looked surprised.
"That can still be false. When did Aunt Zheng miss the news? Besides, why did I lie to you when I had nothing to do? Don't be lazy. Even if you become a regular worker, you have to work harder." Manager Zhang said, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, "You This will soon become the official job of our youngest in Yonghe, so we must be attentive when working.”
"Don't worry, I've never been lazy. When I get better, I'll treat you to dinner, and I'll cook it for you. Make your favorite steamed chicken with straw mushrooms!" Cao Guixiang ran upstairs to find Qin Guisheng with a face full of joy. .
Manager Zhang stood there and smiled helplessly, and murmured: "It will cost you half a month's salary to return straw mushrooms and steamed chicken."
It was probably not lunch time yet, and there were no guests in Yonghe Juli. There was only one person on the second floor, Qin Guisheng, who was sitting at the window enjoying the breeze.
The decoration on the second floor is much better than that on the first floor. There are more decorations. There are many more ornaments than on the first floor. There are screens between the tables. Even the teapots on the table are better than those on the first floor. It looks more refined.
"Second senior brother, you are lazy here again. The master is looking for you. Let me call you." Cao Guixiang shouted to Qin Guisheng.
"How can I be said to be lazy? Master asked me to kill the chickens. After I finished killing them, I just came up to enjoy the cool breeze. The weather is so hot, there must be no business at noon today." Qin Guisheng said lazily while sitting on a chair.
"Why is there no business? You killed the chickens, I killed the fish, and the senior brother is processing the ducks. I see that the master has also prepared ham. He must be making sunflower duck. He also told me that he is going to make spiced fish for noon today. There must be a banquet," Cao Guixiang said.
"There will be a banquet at noon today? Master is also going to make sunflower duck?" Qin Guisheng stood up suddenly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier, I went to help master."
Cao Guixiang chuckled: "That's nice to say. I think you just want to learn from the sunflower duck. Senior brother is still processing the duck. It's still early before dinner time. Master won't do it now."
After hearing what Cao Guixiang said, Qin Guisheng was not in a hurry to go down. He stayed up there to laze around and went back to the window to enjoy the breeze.
Cao Guixiang stared out the window, putting her feet on her feet and feeling lost in thought.
"Little junior sister, what are you looking at from the window on the second floor every day? I think you have been standing here looking out of the window every day for more than half a month, right?" Qin Guisheng asked.
"I'm looking to see if Mr. Che comes out to talk about storytelling." Cao Guixiang said.
"Mr. Che tells those old stories every day, either the Three Kingdoms or the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and occasionally talks about Yue Fei. We have been listening to it for many years, and you are not tired of hearing it yet?" Qin Guisheng said that he couldn't understand, "It's the first time you hear it. The kids like to hang around there.”
Cao Guixiang rolled her eyes at him: "When did you write about the old almanac? Now you are talking about the generals of the Yang family."
"General Yang, you should have heard of it a long time ago."
"I'm happy to!"
"Okay, okay, you are welcome. Manager Zhang said that tomorrow we are going to deliver herbal tea to the elderly people over 70 years old in the alley. I think you should cook one for Mr. Che. You are listening to all his storytelling for nothing." Qin Guisheng said, "Besides, if you want to listen to storytelling, you can listen at the door on the first floor. Manager Zhang won't say anything to you. Can you hear clearly if you come to the second floor?"
"My ears are good and I can hear clearly. The scenery on the second floor is so nice. What's the point of listening on the first floor?" Cao Guixiang said, pulling Qin Guisheng to go downstairs.
"Don't rest. Master is looking for you. He will also scold me later!"
"Okay, okay, please be gentle. You're holding on to my flesh. Let go. I'll go down with you." (End of Chapter)
