Chapter 591 Grade A Carrot Beef Stew (2 in 1 5000 words)
March 15th was destined to be an extraordinary day. Jiang Feng felt the biting chill from the moment he stepped out of his house.
It was unprecedentedly cold. Even if there was no wind in the corridor, the cold still surrounded Jiang Feng like a tide. His teeth were shaking when he walked, and he experienced the pain of breathing.
It seems to be a foreshadowing, or perhaps a warning.
Warn him that going out in the dark at 5 o'clock in the morning in winter before dawn will not end well.
Yes, it is colder in Peiping City at 5 a.m. than at other times.
Jiang Feng got up so early to go to Tai Feng Restaurant to stew a pot of beef stew with carrots early, so that every employee who entered the store could have two bites immediately. Today is not only the opening day of the top-floor restaurant, but also the day of the transfer of Tai Feng Building. Jiang Feng wholeheartedly wants the glory of Ou Huang to fill every corner of Tai Feng Building, so that Comrade Roland from the other side of the ocean can feel the mysterious power of the East.
On the way to Tai Feng Tower, Jiang Feng was even thinking about whether to buy a welfare lottery ticket and make some ill-gotten gains from metaphysics.
He really doesn't have much money recently. Comrade Wang Xiulian didn't reimburse him for the travel expenses to various places and the money to buy pork during the Chinese New Year.
The ingredients at Tai Feng Lou are delivered early in the morning, which is Jiang Jiankang's habit. The main reason is that he doesn't want to get up early, so he chooses to go to bed late. Even though he no longer needs to worry about the supply of ingredients, there is a dedicated person in charge of handling it, and the meat is still delivered at night.
The vegetables will be delivered in the morning of the next day.
It was still dark at 5 o'clock in the morning. When Jiang Feng was walking on the road, he actually felt like he was coming home from get off work. Because of the cold weather, he walked very fast. He reached Tai Feng Tower in ten minutes and even walked out with a slight sweat.
There was no one in the store, it was pitch dark, and because the decoration style was relatively retro, it actually felt a bit spooky. Jiang Feng did not turn on the lights in the lobby. He used the flashlight of his mobile phone to go straight to the back kitchen, turned on the lights in the back kitchen, and began to select ingredients with ease.
This is the first time he has made beef stew with carrots since completing his mission at Renyi Canteen.
Because the CD cooling time of this dish was too long, Jiang Feng didn't know when was the best time to eat this dish, so he simply left it there without cooking it in case it was needed.
This dish is not difficult to make, but if you want to stew the carrots and beef until they are tender and delicious, it will take a little more time. Jiang Feng got up early and had nothing to do, so he paid special attention when making this dish. Even when he cut the carrots into pieces, he carefully compared them before and after to see if they were uniform, good-looking, and easy to taste.
But after all the ingredients were put into the pot and simmered slowly, Jiang Feng simply moved a chair and sat by the stove, playing with his mobile phone while guarding the stove.
Still warmer.
At 7:17 a.m., Fangmei arrived at Tai Feng Building.
When Fang Mei arrived at the store, she was a little surprised to find that the kitchen lights were on. When she went in, she was even more surprised to find Jiang Feng sitting by the stove playing with his mobile phone, so she went up to chat with him.
"You woke up so early to make carrot and beef stew?" Fang Mei couldn't understand. She thought Jiang Feng was too nervous about the opening of the top-floor restaurant, so he ran to the kitchen in advance to check the ingredients, but it turned out that he actually came to cook. .
Jiang Feng shrugged: "Isn't it because I woke up too early and couldn't fall asleep? Lying down on the bed is still lying down. It's better to come over and stew beef in advance."
Fang Mei nodded, assuming that Jiang Feng couldn't sleep because he was too nervous, and comforted him: "Don't be too nervous, little boss. Although the other party is very famous, to put it bluntly, he is the chef of a two-Michelin-starred restaurant, not a three-star restaurant. There is no need to be so hostile.”
Jiang Feng smiled at her, a little reluctantly.
Having said that, Roland is not an ordinary two-Michelin-star chef. He is a two-Michelin-star chef who is good at making fusion dishes and has extensive research on Chinese food.
Such a chef is much more difficult to deal with than Zhang Guanghang's father, a veteran chef with three Michelin stars who has been famous for many years.
Thinking of this, Jiang Feng glanced at the stew pot on the stove and immediately felt relieved.
Fang Mei came to Tai Feng Tower so early because she had something to deal with. After saying a few words to Jiang Feng, she left the kitchen to do her own thing.
Ji Xue arrived in the kitchen about 10 minutes later, still holding a bun in her mouth when she arrived, and was a little surprised to see Jiang Feng in the kitchen.
But Ji Xue didn't say much. She just nodded to Jiang Feng and went to do her own thing. She was not a talkative person.
Jiang Feng just sat by the stove and played with his mobile phone. In fact, he just watched TV. As he watched, he became fascinated and gradually forgot about the beef on the stove.
"Ding, complete a brand new A-level dish, current task progress (7/10)."
Jiang Feng was a little confused when he heard the system prompt tone.
It feels like you are playing fish and playing with your mobile phone, but the teacher suddenly tells you with a smile that you have just passed the exam and achieved full marks.
Jiang Feng looked at the pot in front of him, turned off the heat, and opened the lid.
A very normal smell of beef stew with carrots, maybe because this dish is too homely and not difficult. Even if he accidentally made A-level beef stew with carrots, it didn't smell very special. Amazing feeling.
But it does look pretty good-looking, with a very good appearance. The carrot pieces are very consistent in size and evenly spread in the pot. The beef has been simmered for a long time to absorb the soup. It is soft but not loose, and is faintly stained with the color of carrots. The soup is thick and authentic in color. It looks Very tempting.
But it’s just a normal pot of beef stew with carrots.
Jiang Feng touched a pair of chopsticks and took a small bowl, and tasted the carrots and beef.
The taste is quite good, but the carrots taste a bit powdery. Jiang Feng doesn't like this taste, but it's acceptable. The beef is amazing. Not only does the meat lock in the soup, but the texture is also very good. It is a bit exaggerated to say that it melts in the mouth, but it is almost the same. As soon as Jiang Feng took the bite, all he thought about was the beef. His first reaction was to close his eyes and taste it carefully. Taste.
wonderful!
excellent!
Jiang Feng sighed sincerely from the bottom of his heart, which fairy-like chef could make such delicious carrot and beef stew. Then he thought that this god was himself, and the beef in his mouth suddenly felt even more delicious.
"Ji Xue, do you want to try it while it's still hot?" Jiang Feng said the words of invitation and had already put a new bowl in his hand for Ji Xue and sent it over.
"Ah, thank you." Ji Xue took the bowl, found a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of carrot and put it into his mouth.
Jiang Feng walked to the stove and prepared to put the lid on the pot to keep the carrot and beef stew warm. He would give away a bowl to each person who came, so as to maximize the luck value of the Tai Feng Building employees.
As soon as the lid was put on the pot, Jiang Jiankang arrived, seemingly in a hurry, heading straight for Jiang Feng.
"Ersha, why did you come to the store so early today? I just went upstairs to find you, Qiqi, and told me that you had gone out a long time ago. It's you today..."
"Dad, do you want some beef stew with carrots?" Jiang Feng blocked Jiang Jiankang's mouth with meat.
"Ah?" Jiang Jiankang subconsciously glanced at the stove and said, "Have a bowl."
Jiang Feng served Jiang Jiankang a full bowl, symbolizing his love for his biological father.
Jiang Jiankang couldn't help but nod after eating two pieces, praising Jiang Feng's carrot and beef stew this time for being very good, and it was simply delicious as never before.
"Er smash, didn't you get up so early today just to make this pot of beef stew with carrots?" Jiang Jiankang asked after finishing a bowl of beef.
"No, I just couldn't sleep, so I came to the store early and made them when I saw beef and carrots." Jiang Feng said.
Jiang Jiankang looked worried: "Can't sleep? Why can't you sleep? You slept so hard during the Chinese New Year that you couldn't even wake up every morning."
Jiang Feng:...
Is he your biological father?
"Ahem, I just can't sleep. I just can't sleep. There's no reason why I can't sleep. I just... sometimes I suddenly can't sleep." Once a person starts to lie, he will use countless more nonsense lies to cover it up.
"You often can't sleep?" Jiang Jiankang looked shocked.
"Um... yes... no... just... I just can't sleep sometimes." Jiang Feng didn't understand why Jiang Jiankang was so concerned about his sleep problem all of a sudden.
Jiang Jiankang looked solemn: "Then we can't delay. Didn't I make an appointment for you to go to the hospital for a physical examination today? Cheng Cheng is already waiting at the hospital, and Zaide has also set off. You should go quickly!"< br>
"Physical examination?" Jiang Feng thought for a long time before he pulled this thing out from the corner of his memory. It seemed that Jiang Jiankang had indeed told him before that Renyi suddenly launched a weird activity of buying 2 and getting 1 free for physical examinations, and he was the one getting 1 free.
"Dad, did you forget that the top-floor restaurant in the shopping mall next door opened today? If I go for a physical examination, who will do it? Today's appointment has been scheduled long ago. You just told me about the physical examination but didn't Help me deal with this." Jiang Feng evaded. How could he have the time to do a physical examination at this time?
He didn't understand why his father was suddenly so obsessed with physical examinations.
"I told your mother that your mother moved your appointment for today last week," Jiang Jiankang said.
"Dad, let's forget it. Anyway, I didn't want to have a physical examination. Brother De and Brother Cheng were supposed to have a physical examination, so I won't go." Jiang Feng's face was full of rejection.
This refusal seemed to Jiang Jiankang to be a guilty conscience, and he became more determined to send Jiang Feng to the hospital for a physical examination today.
Then the father and son started a tug-of-war in the kitchen, having an in-depth discussion on whether they should go to the hospital for a physical examination today.
During the discussion, Jiang Feng did not forget to hand out a bowl of beef stew with carrots to everyone who entered the kitchen.
It wasn't until the two old men approached the back cook Jiang Jiankang that they stopped persuading him. However, Jiang Feng knew from the look on his face that he was only taking a halftime break and would probably continue in the second half later.
"Grandpa, Third Grandpa, would you like a bowl of beef stew with carrots?" Jiang Feng diligently served the food to the two old men.
Jiang Weiguo took the bowl, looked at it, nodded, and tasted a piece of beef. Jiang Weiming picked up a small piece of carrot and nodded to Jiang Feng with a smile while eating it.
"Not bad." The old man's compliment was rare, but Jiang Feng's A-level carrot and beef stew today was worthy of this compliment.
"Grandpa, do you want me to serve you some more?" Jiang Feng flattered enthusiastically.
Jiang Weiguo waved his hand: "You can't eat such dirty food early in the morning, just taste it."
"Grandpa Third, are you feeling better from your cold?" Jiang Feng turned to ask Jiang Weiming.
Jiang Weiming was just eating carrots slowly. When he heard Jiang Feng's question, he quickly swallowed the carrot in his mouth and said, "I'm much better after taking medicine. I don't cough much this morning."
The severity of the cough is the criterion by which Jiang Weiming judges the severity of his cold.
It looked better, but Jiang Feng always felt that what Jiang Weiming just said sounded strange.
"I stopped coughing and started to have trouble breathing." Jiang Weiguo complained.
"Can't breathe?"
Jiang Weiming silently pulled the scarf looser: "Your fifth uncle was afraid that I would catch a cold when I went out, so he specially put a thick scarf around me and it was a little tight."
Jiang Feng:...
Jiang Weiming continued to eat the carrots in the bowl. Jiang Feng did not serve him much but only two pieces of carrots and a piece of beef, mainly because he was afraid that he would not be able to eat these things because of his uncomfortable throat during the cold.
As a result, as soon as Jiang Weiming put down his bowl and chopsticks, he suddenly started coughing violently.
Not only was the cough violent, but the sound was also very thick. It sounded like there was a mouthful of thick phlegm in the throat that could not be coughed out.
"Third brother, what do you think?" Jiang Weiguo asked quickly.
Jiang Weiming suddenly coughed so violently that he was even out of breath. After calming down, he said: "I was a little anxious when I ate beef just now, and I seemed to be choking."
He was still out of breath when he spoke, and his face became a little pale.
"Grandpa Third, do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?" Jiang Feng asked with concern. Even if he choked on beef, Jiang Weiming's reaction was too intense.
The cough just now didn't sound like a good thing at all.
"Go to some hospital, there's no need." Jiang Weiming shook his head and walked towards the water tank to see how the fish delivered in the evening were doing.
"Xiao Feng, take your third grandfather to the hospital and ask Cheng Cheng to line up to register for your third grandfather first," Jiang Weiguo said.
"You don't have to go to the hospital. If you can't, just go to the pharmacy and buy some medicine." Jiang Weiming really doesn't like going to the hospital. "Xiao Feng must be busy if he comes so early today. It will definitely take up a whole morning to take me to the hospital to register and queue up. , isn’t this a delay?”
"Uncle San, don't delay. Xiaofeng was going to the hospital this morning. He made an appointment with Chengcheng and Zaide to go to the hospital for a physical examination today. The money has been paid." Jiang Jiankang took advantage of every opportunity.
Jiang Feng:? ? ?
"Really?" Jiang Jiankang not only took advantage of every opportunity, but also deliberately cue Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng:...
"Yes, that's it. Third Grandpa, Brother De, Cheng, and I have already made an appointment to have a physical examination today, so we came so early to deal with the things that need to be dealt with first, so as not to delay things." Jiang Feng said His face was sincere and his acting skills were on point, "Just let me take you there. Just ask Brother Cheng to line up for you to register first, and we will come back together then."
Jiang Weiming hesitated.
"Anyway, we're just on our way so I won't delay anything. I'm going to the hospital for a physical examination, so let's go together."
"Third Grandpa, no matter whether you have recovered from your cold or not, it is always right to go to the hospital and let the doctor take a look. If you need to take injections and take medicine, just treat it as accompanying me to the hospital and seeing a doctor on the way." Jiang Feng took out the coaxing doctor he had used in previous years. Grandma Jiang's attitude of going to the hospital.
"Yes, yes." Jiang Jiankang agreed repeatedly.
"Third brother, Xiaofeng is also on the way anyway, let him take you there." Jiang Weiguo said.
Jiang Weiming knew that he had to go to this hospital today, so he said, "I'm sorry for bothering Xiaofeng."
"No trouble, no trouble." Jiang Jiankang answered faster than anyone else and smiled happier than anyone else.
Now that Jiang Weiming has to be sent to the hospital, Jiang Feng can't stay in the kitchen and hand out a bowl of beef stew with carrots alone. He can only hand over this glorious and arduous task to his own father, who doesn't seem to be reliable at all. .
"Dad, it's rare for me to make such a delicious pot of carrot and beef stew today. Don't eat it all in one go later. At least wait for Mom, Qiqi and Xia Xia to come over and share some with them. If When others come, give them some and let them all have a taste.”
"Be sure to share it with everyone."
"Don't eat it all by yourself!" Jiang Feng warned, this is a lucky buff dish that can be made only once every 100 days. Even if Jiang Jiankang is his biological father, he cannot allow Jiang Jiankang to eat all the lucky dishes. over.
Because he knew that with Jiang Jiankang's strength, it would not be a problem to finish the pot.
"Okay, okay, of course Dad knows, how could Dad do such a thing as eating all of it? Son, it really makes Dad sad to say this." Jiang Jiankang said no, but he had already begun to think about it in his heart. It's time for me to eat a few bowls.
"Would you like to bring some to Zaide and Cheng Cheng?" Jiang Weiming asked with a smile.
He would never have asked this question before, but when he saw Jiang Feng like this, he thought Jiang Feng wanted to show off to everyone that he had made a wonderful carrot and beef stew, so he made this suggestion.
"Yes, Third Grandpa, I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me." Jiang Weiming woke up the dreamer with his words.
Jiang Feng hurriedly found two packing boxes and put a little in each box, and then left Taifeng Building with Jiang Weiming.
Taking the steps of the European Emperor.
After the two of them got on Didi's express train, Jiang Weiming realized that something was wrong.
"Xiao Feng, did you originally plan to go for a physical examination today?" Jiang Weiming asked.
"Yes, it has been decided a long time ago. Brother De and Brother Cheng have already paid the money for me." Jiang Feng was still in the scene and nodded repeatedly.
"You didn't eat beef stew with carrots?" Jiang Weiming still felt something was wrong.
"Huh?"
“Isn’t it necessary to have an empty stomach for physical examination?”
Jiang Feng:...
"I didn't eat it." Jiang Feng had a firm look on his face and resolutely threw the pot to Xia Xia, "Xia Xia told me last night that she wanted to eat beef stew with carrots. I thought she had eaten so lightly just two days before she caught a cold. , so I got up early and cooked this dish for her. ”
"When I took it out of the pot, I thought it was very good, so I asked Ji Xue to taste it for me. She told me that it tasted quite good, so I gave it to everyone so that everyone could have a taste." Jiang Feng felt that even if he didn't go, Acting is also suitable for writing scripts, and all kinds of nonsense will come out of your mouth.
Although Jiang Weiming still felt something was wrong, he still nodded with a smile and coughed twice.
His face was a little pale. (End of chapter)
