Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

Text 0221 [Hotpot from the sea! 】

After sending Lu Yawen away, Shi Zhijian took a deep breath and flipped through the calendars of this era.

The calendars of this era are similar to those of the previous generation, and most of them are colorful paintings of stars, with dates and times dotted below them.

There are only seven days left for the Chinese New Year, and the whole of Hong Kong is full of impetuousness and excitement.

At this moment, the factory cafeteria rang the bell, and the loud third sister-in-law banged on the side of the pot with a spoon, shouting loudly: "Today's noon, lettuce, oyster and soy sauce!"

The crowd was surging, and the third sister-in-law raised her voice again and shouted in the direction of the workshop: "Let's put rice! Hairy oyster sauce (a good thing to make a fortune)!"

Shi Zhijian walked out of the office, biting a cigarette in his mouth, and saw a stream of people pouring towards the cafeteria. When passing by his office, those workers all bowed to Shi Zhijian, greeted him, and said almost the same thing: "Boss ,Happy New Year!"

New Year's Eve?

It was only then that Shi Zhijian realized that time passed so fast, and the first Spring Festival after his rebirth was coming.

Sister-in-law San was guarding a large pot of sauerkraut, oyster and soy sauce, and the people in the cafeteria brought out a pot full of pot vegetables, radishes, bamboo shoots, squid, pigskin, mushrooms, chicken, and dace **** that are often eaten during the New Territories Spring Festival. He Beng pork piled the whole pot out of the spire, and the oily look made people appetite.

The workers lined up for meals in an orderly manner, with Da Xiong and Beard Yong maintaining order.

"Boss, today's lunch is very good, would you like to try it?" The third sister-in-law who was in charge of the kitchen said kindly when she saw Shi Zhijian watching.

Shi Zhijian originally wanted to have lunch with everyone. After thinking about it carefully, he estimated that if he was eating next to him, these workers would be embarrassed, so he said, "Don't worry about me, I'll go out to eat!"

The third sister-in-law sighed in disappointment. The dishes at noon today were her specialty, but unfortunately the boss didn't have the chance to taste them.

When it was almost busy over there, Shi Zhijian said to Da Daxiong, Hu Xiongyong and other key factory workers: "Everyone has worked hard today, do you have time, get together!"

Da Daxiong and the others immediately raised their chests and protruded their belly to look serious, "Of course! Brother Jian, say hello, we will definitely be there!"

...

noon.

This place in Yuen Long is poor and there are no high-end hotels. Shi Zhijian casually found a small restaurant called "Zheng Kee Teppanyaki" nearby. , Bad life Kun six people to eat.

These people are all working in the rivers and lakes, and they have a huge appetite. Shi Zhijian helped them order a lot of staple foods, mainly steamed bread and rice, and a few more expensive meat dishes, as well as beer.

The food in this restaurant is average, but the business is very good. Except for the boss who also hired three shop assistants, there are still not enough staff.

Because the food was served too slowly, Da Daxiong shouted loudly to urge the food, and the boss kept saying that it was in the pot and served it immediately, but after waiting for five or six minutes, there was still nothing left.

Da Daxiong was about to urge the dishes loudly again, but a diner next to him spat sputum on his shoe.

Da Xiong was disgusted and couldn't do it, so he asked the other party to settle the account, but was stopped by Hu Xiong, saying that Brother Jian would invite him to dinner today, so he shouldn't cause trouble.

Daxiong held back his anger, but the other party refused to forgive him, saying that this kind of place is like this, spit casually, and go somewhere else if you like it clean.

Looking at the other diners around, they don't take it seriously. The floor is full of used tissues. The guy cleans the table and wipes it with a rag and you're done. Flies and cockroaches are crawling around in the cracks in the wall, and the guy serving the food. At that time, his thumbs were inserted into the vegetable soup, and he threw it on the table: "Your egg drop soup!"

Daxiong closed his eyes and wondered how he had eaten in such a place before.

Beard Yong and Da Daxiong felt the same, and also felt that the surrounding environment seemed to be a little worse.

Shi Zhijian could see clearly, but remained silent.

When the food came, Chen Jinlong, Chen Jinhu, Mao Shiqiang and Bad Mingkun ate at a table alone.

Shi Zhijian, Da Daxiong and Hu Xiong Yong made a table but didn't move their chopsticks, they just drank beer together.

"Why, not used to it?" Shi Zhijian leaned back on the chair and asked Da Xiong and Hu Xiong with a smile.

Da Daxiong took a few bites of the dish with chopsticks, nodded and said, "I didn't think so before, but now I think this kind of small shop is very unsanitary!"

"Yeah, I really don't know how I used to eat!" Hu Xueyong also picked up his chopsticks and stuffed a dish into his mouth.

"Being poor in the past, it was ok to have enough to eat. Now that the economy has improved, everyone has money. In addition to being able to eat enough, they are also beginning to be picky."

Daxiong and Hu Xiong seem to understand, but they feel that what Shi Zhijian said makes sense.

"People take food as their priority. With the development of Hong Kong's economy, people will pay more and more attention to food, so the development of the catering industry is the most promising!"

Daxiong and Hu Xiong seemed to smell something, looked at each other, and hurriedly looked at Shi Zhijian and listened.

There are too many things happening in the factory today, especially the slow selling of instant noodles, which makes many people worry about the future prospects of the factory.

"Axiong, what do you usually like to eat?"

"Barbecued pork, roast goose legs!"

"How about you, Ayong?"

"Of course I'm going to Kowloon City to play a side fire and eat dog meat!"

"Playing a side stove? But eating dog meat is too simple!" Shi Zhijian narrowed his eyes, remembering the last time he had a side stove with Lai Luo in the Kowloon Walled City.

"If there is a seafood hot pot restaurant that is very hygienic and has good service, with abalone, oysters, scallops, and all kinds of seafood, would you go?"

"Uh, seafood hot pot?"

"Yes, it is the kind of base that has various flavors, and can cook various special pot bases, such as mild spicy, spicy, and halal, seafood, fat beef, fat sheep, etc., you will choose ?"

The secret weapon Shi Zhijian secretly developed before was actually a variety of hot pot bases. The last time Lei Luo tasted the seafood hot pot newly developed by Shi Zhijian.

In fact, there is no concept of self-selected hotpot in Hong Kong in this era. To be precise, there is no real hotpot in the local area!

Historically, although hot pot became popular very early, the red clay stove in the Tang Dynasty, the shabu-shabu in the Song Dynasty, and the old-fashioned banquet in the Qing Dynasty, etc., but the real rise of hot pot and become a food culture, it is in Hong Kong in the 1970s and mainland China in the 1990s.

In Hong Kong, there has always been only a very traditional side stove, eating dog meat and stewing spare ribs. It was not until the late 1970s that the concept of hot pot became popular in Hong Kong.

Hot pot restaurants don't need to wait for a long time to eat, and things can be cooked as soon as they are brought. You don't need a good cook, you just need an uncle who cuts meat in a singlet and a lady boss who looks like a renter. Of course, there is no need to have a good environment. The tables, chairs and benches are placed at will, and you can eat them when you set them up.

This also makes it convenient for many groups to have dinner together~www.readwn.com~ and after disagreements during the meal, they can just pick up a stool and a bottle of wine. If it is broken, you can change another batch at any time and continue to play. When you are tired, sit down and rest for a while, and continue later.

Hot pot is a kind of rough food culture. Everyone eats in one pot. There is no fuss, no refinement, only lively and rich taste. Therefore, hot pot culture is popular culture, dock culture, and rivers and lakes culture.

Daxiong and Hu Xiong don't understand noble culture, but this simple and easy-to-understand "hot pot culture" is in the heart, so much so that when Shi Zhijian explained a little bit, he said that the seafood is super cheap, and one pot bottom can be eaten by many people. , The two eyes suddenly glowed, and they lit up like a light bulb.

"Brother Jian, your idea is great! Hot pot! I like hot pot the most!" Hu Xueyong applauded.

"Yeah, this hot pot doesn't need too many hands, you can make it yourself, it's really cool! Thinking about it makes me feel good!" Daxiong jumped up with joy.

Even though Dae Hsiung doesn't have any business acumen, he couldn't help being excited when he heard Shi Zhijian's new idea.

The people next to him danced loudly, thinking he was insane, and all pulled their chairs away from him.

Shi Zhijian saw that Daxiong was excited, he couldn't help laughing, he picked up the beer and handed it to Daxiong: "Turn off, drink first! Don't be surprised!"

After being criticized by Shi Zhijian, Lou Xiong hurriedly covered his mouth, pulled the chair carefully and sat down, but he couldn't help but say, "Brother Jian, what is your name for this hot pot?"

Beard Yong also immediately looked at Shi Zhijian curiously.

Shi Zhijian took a piece of peanut rice with chopsticks, swish, and threw it into his mouth: "fishing in the sea!"
