Chapter 26 Food is the most important thing for the people
Li Qizhi felt a little revolted and said: "I called you for a long time, but I thought something was wrong. You have to have three advantages and two disadvantages..."
"Zhou Cao, I am strong and in my prime, why have I lost everything? Get out of here..." Chang Xian rolled his eyes.
Sometimes I find it very strange that two best friends from other provinces, with different academic qualifications, different jobs, and different life paths, actually meet in the same city after working hard for several years. Therefore, it is God's will and fate to meet each other. It is really hard to describe.
After coming out of the No. 1 Central Hospital, I didn't even call for a taxi. After all, it was only one or two stops away. After Li Qizhi helped me walk for a while, Chang Xian could handle it on his own.
The reason why this disease comes so quickly is actually because Chang Xian is under a lot of psychological pressure, he is still worried about gains and losses, and he works a little hard. Once he relaxes after his work really picks up, he loses his temper.
I didn’t want to eat either, so I ordered two grilled sausages from Da Cui downstairs.
This guy is also working hard. He is in the dark from morning to night. Don't follow in the footsteps of Boss Chang.
Li Qizhi looked at the time and saw that it was ten o'clock. He used his mobile phone to say hello to his soldiers and said, "I'll just sleep on the sofa. I still have to keep an eye on you."
"Um."
After struggling for most of the day, Chang Xian didn't want to say anything anymore and fell asleep.
This night, Chang Xian was very uncomfortable.
I don't know how long I slept. When I opened my eyes the next day, I felt that the back of my head was wet and there was a thin layer of sweat on my neck.
"Are you awake? Well, just cover up the sweat and you'll be fine..."
Li Qizhi heard the noise, came in from the living room, looked at Chang Xian's face and said.
Chang got up and opened the curtains and saw the scorching sun: "Hey, what time is it?"
"Looking at the sun, it should be almost three-quarter noon. It's really an auspicious time for surgery."
Li Qizhi said: "I said you are really destined to be a leader. It's hard to wait for you all weekend."
"Serve me? Then you go and cook, two meals in one."
"Hi, I am Director Li..."
Chang Xian lightly kicked Director Li's butt: "I'm a patient, I need some snacks!"
Li Qizhi opened the refrigerator, stretched his neck to take a look, and gasped: "Besides the air conditioner, do you have anything else in there? Do you want braised air conditioner or steamed air conditioner?"
“Don’t get hung up on the details.”
Chang Xian said: "When there is demand for a project, what you have to do is how to meet the demand with high quality, instead of asking why there is demand!"
"I see that you have become an immortal. Chang Daxian has no need for carbohydrates!"
Li Qizhi rolled his eyes: "Wait a minute, I'll go down and buy something. Let's just eat noodles today."
Chang Xian chuckled: "Discover the problem, diagnose the problem, and solve the problem, all in one step in two minutes. No wonder Director Li can become Director Li. I am optimistic about you. You have progress and potential!"
The West Lake Road Market is across the street, and within fifteen minutes, Li Qizhi came back carrying a large piece of beef, a few tomatoes, and a handful of celery.
Li Qizhi's cooking skills are quite good, for two reasons.
The first is his family background. His father used to be a bartender in the factory cafeteria, and he is more or less a senior figure in the catering industry.
What's more important is that Li Qizhi works on the front line of sales and is stationed abroad all year round. As a native of Hunan Province in the north, if he doesn't learn to cook, he will definitely be boring.
Boss Chang has always believed that professional people should do professional things. Although he can also cook, he considers himself inferior to Li Qizhi in this aspect. Since Li Qizhi is more professional than him, he must let more professional people do it.
Li Qizhi washed the beef, tomatoes, and celery, put them on the chopping board, put on an apron, rolled up his sleeves, and started chopping vegetables. He held a knife in his hand, and the kitchen knife seemed to be slow but fast, and the beef slices were as thin as cicada wings.
Quickly spread it on the cutting board, then put the meat into a bowl, add dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, etc. to marinate.
After putting away the beef, he neatly dismembered the tomatoes into eight pieces with a single stroke of his knife. After removing the celery leaves, he chopped them with a flurry of force, and soon celery segments of equal thickness and length were born.
Chang Xian holds a chess book in his left hand and twists a cloud in his right hand. He leans against the wall with a smile: "Er Bao, with your sword skills, Fu Hongxue even feels inferior. You can do this for the rest of your life, so what kind of business are you running...
…“
"My only purpose in cooking is to satisfy my mouth. Who wants to serve others in a splendid setting..."
There are two pots on the stove, one is for boiling water and the other is for cooking.
Li Qizhi poured the oil into the wok, turned around and took out a thick two-pound tube of noodles, and put half of it into the boiling water pot. When the oil in the wok had burned and smoke was rising, he took out the noodles.
On the vegetable plate containing the beef, he quickly slid the beef into the oil pan, stabbed it, and an open flame came out of the oil pan.
He hurriedly waved the spatula and stir-fried a few times, then added salt, chives, garlic, dried chili peppers and other seasonings. Stir-fried a few more times, then added celery. After a stir-fry, he poured two ladles of water on it and took out the lid of the pot.
Go ahead, take a porcelain basin, pick up the noodles that are still a little bit stiff, and drain them into the water.
When the water in the wok boils, put the noodles and chopped tomatoes into the wok, wait another two minutes and turn off the heat. A bowl of bright and fragrant beef noodles is served to the table.
Chang Xian put his hands behind his hands and looked at the basin: "Well, the aroma is fragrant, the soup is rich, bright in color, and the noodles are crystal clear. The craftsmanship is good, kid..."
Seeing Li Qizhi coming over with bowls and chopsticks, the chopsticks were already in the basin: "You should give me more advice. You are a gentleman who speaks, but I am a villain who does it!"
"Hold the grass! You are cruel!"
Chang Xian let out a strange scream. At this critical moment, every second counts.
After dinner, two games of chess were played, Boss Chang continued to sleep and recuperate, while Director Li returned to the office to arrange work for the three soldiers.
That night.
Li Qizhi came back from shopping for groceries and walked in carrying wine and meat. He was covered in stinky sweat, thinking about someone who shared the same fate but had different fates, and kicked the door with resentment.
"I'll kick you in the head. I won't pay for it if it's broken!"
Boss Chang Da was admiring Tang Bohu's famous paintings. He let Li Qizhi into the room, turned on the TV, and set out the food and drinks.
Ouch! A piece of trembling, rosy, sauced meat exuding a strange aroma came out.
Sauce recipe - meat.
Read this way, it means cooking a whole piece of meat.
If cut into pieces and cooked, it is called fermented bean curd.
When Chang Xian heard it, he was pleasantly surprised and said, "This meat is good. Is it from Yinglou?"
"Going to Yinglou? Next time you miss something, please ask me to open a meat restaurant. This is the fly restaurant I'm looking for."
Li Qizhi cuts it freshly with a knife. The fine pork belly is glistening with sauce and is placed on the plate piece by piece. The ratio of fat to thin is impressive in five layers.
"Brother, the first thing I do when I go to a place is to find food. Food is the most important thing for people!"
Li Qizhi shook his head: "This restaurant is very particular about the ingredients they use, including Pubei star anise, southern Sichuan peppercorns, straw mushroom and dark soy sauce, Shaoxing Huadiao... Hey, do you want chili sauce or vinegar sauce?"
"Come all."
Chang Xian couldn't wait to pick up a piece, stuffed it into his mouth, and closed his eyes. The entanglement of the tongue and the meat, the rolling of the meat and the taste buds, there was no taste, life was so worth it!
Li Qizhi also took a bite, and kept shouting, "It doesn't matter if it's hot. The fat will melt when it's hot. Cover it with Thai fragrant rice. Ouch..."
"Stop talking, stop talking!"
