Chapter 18 Classmate Yang Qingning, the Failed Mapo Tofu
It was lunchtime, and there were quite a lot of people in the hall, including old people and children. It can be seen from this that this is definitely a restaurant that focuses on taste and is run in a serious manner, rather than just trying to make quick money by taking advantage of the popularity.
Internet celebrity restaurant.
The waiter came to ask if there was a reservation and if he wanted to go to the private room. The decision to travel around was made in the lobby.
Then I ordered very home-cooked dishes, Mapo tofu, Mushu pork, boiled shrimp, and a side of Wensi tofu!
Although these dishes are very homely, they are quite particular.
A representative of the four traditional cuisines!
Mapo tofu is Sichuan cuisine, Mushu pork is Shandong cuisine, boiled shrimp is Subang cuisine, and Wensi tofu is Cantonese cuisine!
Of course, traveling around is not looking for trouble. Although judging from the name of the restaurant, this should be a Sichuan restaurant, but the restaurant is so big, it is impossible to have only one chef, and it has been open for so many years, so it naturally has two chefs.
Furthermore, whether it's Mapo tofu, Mushu pork, or boiled shrimp, they are all dishes that ordinary people often order when they go to restaurants. If they can't make them, they will have to close long ago.
Among these four dishes, only Wensi Tofu is more complicated and takes more time and effort to make!
But as one of the representatives of Cantonese cuisine, even if it is not top-notch, it can’t be missed!
Tea was served and menus were brought in.
"Who wants this dish?"
Master Zhang looked at the list and was stunned.
"What...what happened?"
"Haha, you really know how to order four dishes and four cuisines. Are you looking for trouble?"
Then, I learned about it here.
"They say they are a family, they look very young!"
"What a family!"
Although Master Zhang felt that there was something wrong with this order, he didn't think much about it. After all, he is a chef. Even if someone comes to find fault, the chef has to take over.
However, because of the meal, the service was a little slow.
Bai Zhuo served first, Xiao Qinghe couldn't wait any longer, Yang Qingning put on gloves and started peeling shrimps for Xiao Qinghe.
The little girl took a bite, squinted her eyes, and after a while, she said: "Dad, it's not as delicious as yours!"
The waiter who served the food naturally heard it, but he didn't care. After all, in the children's hearts, what parents cooked is indeed the most delicious.
At this time, Yang Qingning also tasted it. She happened to have eaten the boiled shrimp made by Zhou You, and when she ate it, she immediately tasted the difference.
Before this, she just thought that Zhou You's cooking skills were very high, but she didn't know how high they were, but she was definitely better than her mother.
After all, the dish of boiled shrimp is quite common in Long City. There are specialized fish and shrimp farms in the south of the city, so fish, shrimp, crab and the like are also table dishes for many locals in Long City.
My mother often makes it too, so the taste is very profound, but I rarely eat it in restaurants.
But no matter what, the boiled shrimps in this restaurant are definitely better than my mom’s, at least the meat is firmer.
"Dad made it delicious!"
Xiao Qinghe saw Yang Qingning eating it and repeated it again, hoping to get approval.
Yang Qingning smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes!"
She quite agreed.
Of course I ate it when traveling around, I didn’t say whether it was delicious or not!
At this moment, a voice sounded.
"Lime?"
Yang Qingning was stunned and turned her head subconsciously, just in time to see a woman coming out of the bathroom and looking at her eagerly.
"Tang Juan?"
"Oh, it's really you!"
The girl named Tang Juan hurriedly came over and took Yang Qingning's hand, looking here and there, looking very intimate.
Zhou You listened to the chatter of the two girls and understood the relationship between the two.
classmate!
They were separated in elementary school, junior high school, and later high school, but they had a good relationship. Although they were not in the same school in high school, they often played together. But after college, they rarely saw each other.
After Tang Juan graduated from university, like many young people, she thought she could make a career by entering the society. She wasted two years and then returned to her hometown to take the civil service examination!
I happened to join the staff this year and work in a bank, so I came to Chuanhai Restaurant to celebrate!
"That's great, we can see each other more often in the future!"
Although they rarely contacted her after graduating from college, Tang Juan still knew that Yang Qingning was in the city kindergarten.
finally……
Tang Juan's eyes fell on Zhou You and Xiao Qinghe: "This is... you are not already married, are you?"
"Ah, no!" Yang Qingning shook her head and introduced again.
Tang Juan looked at Zhou You with a strange expression. She suddenly approached Yang Qingning, pulled her slightly to the side, and whispered: "This...couldn't be your high school crush!"
Yang Qingning's eyes were a little flustered. She glanced at Zhou You and saw that he wasn't paying attention. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "You still remember!"
"It's true, I said this face looks a bit familiar!" Tang Juan said with a helpless smile: "You forgot that you had photos of him in your phone when you were in high school, and there were many candid photos of his profile!"
"Ah!" Yang Qingning was startled, her ears turned red, and she was so embarrassed that she almost found a crack in the ground and crawled in.
Tang Juan shook her head: "I really didn't expect you to have been secretly in love with him for so long. Qing Ning, let me advise you, divorced men are not easy to take care of!"
"Not to mention taking care of a child. Well, although this child is quite cute and he is really handsome, but being handsome can be used as food...well, it is true that we can be used as food, but we have reached the age of marriage. He is very handsome.
It’s important, but it’s not the first element of marriage!”
Zhou You has really been handsome since junior high school, otherwise Tang Juan wouldn't still vaguely remember this face after all these years after seeing the photo.
But we are all adults. This kind of handsome guy is fine for fun, but he wants to get married...
Family, parents, work, personality, etc. are all important factors, but appearance comes second!
"I know!"
Yang Qingning smiled bitterly, how could she not know, but...she and Zhou You have been classmates for three years in high school, and they know each other very well.
Then this time they reunited, although things were different and people were different, Zhou You's character was getting better and better. It could even be said that Zhou You's appearance and personality seemed to be tailor-made for her. She... had fallen into it.
And can’t help myself!
if……
Without this reunion, maybe she would have gone on a blind date, found a suitable person to get married and have children!
"Okay, anyway, I will be working in Long City next time. We have plenty of time to chat!" Seeing Zhou You's side starting to serve food again, Tang Juan also stood up, said hello to Zhou You Xiao Qinghe, and then returned to the private room.
.
While the two were chatting, Mapo Tofu and Sweet and Sour Pork were served!
There is nothing much to say about the sweet and sour pork, but when he saw the Mapo Tofu, Zhou You frowned. The Mapo Tofu was not well made, and it could even be said to be a product that is being sold as dog meat!
