City People [Rebirth]

Lu Jia and Zhou Heyi cleaned up the dining table and the kitchen together, and then sat down in the living room.

According to the usual practice, now is the part of exchanging gifts, and it is also a part that both of us look forward to in general festivals.

Gifts are always novel and exciting in love. The anticipation of the unknown and the preparation when you think your lover will smile are always so worthwhile.

Both of them are not short of money, and they can buy even the most precious and extravagant gifts, but the value of the gifts cannot only be described as "expensive".So they give expensive and meaningful gifts.

Well, there's nothing wrong with it.

The presents will have been placed on the table and exchanged.

Zhou Heyi didn't do anything, just watched Lu Jia unpack the package with a smile on his face.It was a gift box wrapped in kraft paper. Lu Jia opened it nervously and excitedly, and saw a can, a piece of paper, and a spoon inside.He took out the can and looked at it. The can was a glass can without any words, but Lu Jia understood the red contents inside. Just looking at such a bright color, he felt that his already full stomach was shaking. Under this wonderful stimulation, it seems that there is room again.He opened the can, dug a spoonful with a small spoon, and put it in his mouth.

The large chunks of beef are clearly visible, and when you put it in your mouth, it tastes fresh, spicy, spicy, and has a stronger taste than the pork shredded burrito made by Zhou Heyi.

This is a good bottle of sauce.Lu Jia thought, whether this sauce is used for cooking, bibimbap, noodles, or other cooking, it will be delicious.

Of course Zhou Heyi couldn't just give away a bottle of beef sauce.Lu Jia picked up the piece of paper. On it was the recipe of the beef sauce handwritten. It was very detailed. The data from the heat to the time were very specific and detailed. As long as you are not a kitchen idiot, you can make it according to this recipe.

This recipe was Zhou Heyi's gift to him, a very precious gift.

Lu Jia couldn't help but hugged Zhou Heyi and kissed her, saying, "It's a great gift, I like it very much."

Zhou Heyi said: "When I was on a business trip, I met in an alley. The old lady's beef sauce was very delicious, so I bought out the recipe."

What he said was very simple, and he didn't want to go into details.

In fact, Zhou Heyi has been staring at this recipe for half a year. The old lady said it was a recipe passed down from her ancestors, and she was determined not to sell it to people with a foreign surname. Beef sauce, the cost of this beef sauce is high, the beef used is good parts, and the portion is large, a bottle of sauce can be sold for [-], and it will be eaten up after a short time. People who live in that alley, I can't buy too many times.

Zhou Heyi went there a few times, and the price was finally raised to 20. The old lady hesitated, but still insisted on this principle. Zhou Heyi started with her son.His son is a small business owner, opening a hardware store.Since he didn't start the beef sauce business himself, Zhou Heyi concluded that he would not be so attached to the beef sauce.Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Heyi made an offer, his son agreed, and it was not for anything else. With 20, he would not make his mother so hard, and his children could go to schools with better conditions. This is already very good.

The reason why Zhou Heyi came back so late from this business trip was because he spent some time at the beef sauce shop.Although the old lady also has the recipe written on paper, but the recipe can't make exactly the same taste just by looking at it, so Zhou Heyi has to learn from the old lady.

Zhou Heyi is a certified chef, and his cooking skills have gone beyond the scope of home cooking.He once exchanged culinary skills with a hungry chef. After that, Zhang An and Shang Weidong both said that Zhou Heyi was very talented.

So Zhou Heyi thoroughly figured out the formula. In order to restore the formula accurately, he refined the formula according to the modern and standardized operation process. Recorded a video and sent it to Lu Jia's mailbox.

From Zhou Heyi cooking with beef sauce to this gift box that Lu Jia unpacked, Lu Jia naturally accepted the deep heart in it.Hungry is a mid-range restaurant that does not rely on style and nobility to win, but mainly relies on the dishes, and the taste of this beef sauce is very unique, whether it is used as an ingredient or sold separately, it will be very popular in the market.

Next, it was Zhou Heyi's turn to open the presents.

The box in front of Zhou Heyi was quite big. He lifted it up and shook it first. The box was very light, and there was a slight shaking sensation and the sound of collisions between things. He didn't know what was inside it.

"Take it apart and have a look."

Lu Jia urged.

Zhou Heyi opened the box, and it was full of paper colored ribbons. This kind of ribbon is sometimes packed in the box to prevent shocks, but there are too many of these ribbons.

Zhou Heyi reached in and touched a lot of small things.He took the one at hand and took it out to see that it was a commemorative coin, the one he happened to be missing in the set.

Stretching out his hand again, it was a sapphire cufflink, which Zhou Heyi was very familiar with. He used to have a pair, but one of them was scratched off when he was wearing it, and the other one was not willing to throw away, but this meeting is complete.

The nibs of the pens in the small bag are out of print, but they are very popular series of nibs by Zhou Heyi.

A set of giant panda stamps in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhou Heyi once mentioned wanting a set.

…Zhou Heyi finally took out a bunch of small things, and didn't arrange the gifts neatly until he was sure that there was nothing in the box.

These are all the things that Zhou Heyi mentioned or wanted. Lu Jia wrote them down and searched for them. Some of them are not worth much. For example, there is a pack of snacks in it, which is only one dollar a pack, but Haicheng is here now. It has not been sold for a long time.Zhou Heyi was shocked and moved by the piles of presents that touched his heart after being placed in such a way.

Lu Jia learned this method from the Internet, but the blogger took out lipstick, blush, eye shadow and other makeup from the gift box given by her boyfriend, which made the people in the comments envious and jealous. Lu Jia learned this trick.

Seeing Zhou Heyi looking at him very touched, Lu Jia proudly opened his hand, indicating that Zhou Heyi could fall into his arms at this time.Zhou Heyi really squeezed in, the sofa was very spacious, and Zhou Heyi didn't feel crowded when she straddled Lu Jia's lap.Zhou Heyi moved closer to Lu Jia's ear and said softly, "You really surprised me."

Lu Jia's previous gifts were also very thoughtful, but overall they were still a bit rough, but this time they were so delicate. Those small things are not easy to collect, and it will take a lot of time to collect them all.

In such tenderness, it was logical that the two started the last process of Valentine's Day.

……

Lu Jia came to the branch on Xihe Road. This branch is connected to the central kitchen. Zhang An has a separate cubicle here as his cooking laboratory.

Zhang An is a veteran who is hungry, and more than half of the new dishes that are hungry now come from him.His job is to develop new dishes. He doesn’t need to stay in the kitchen all day, and he can go out to find ideas freely, and travel to other cities to taste delicious food at public expense. Jia said that this position is not fixed. The kitchen holds a Chef Challenge every six months, and the winner can take this position. After that, the chefs are all trying to replace it. After a healthy competition is formed, the food becomes more and more delicious.

Under the impact of the chefs, Zhang An has been sitting firmly in his seat, and he still looks leisurely. He always posts buildings and delicacies in the circle of friends, which makes many people want to beat him.

This time Lu Jia came to him to see how the beef sauce could be used.

When Zhang An heard that Zhou Heyi bought the recipe and made the beef sauce himself, he immediately became interested.First look at the color, then smell, and then taste, nodded and said: "Mr. Zhou's cooking skills are as good as ever, come on, show me the recipe."

Lu Jia handed him the prescription, and Zhang An began to watch impatiently, muttering to himself, and suddenly realized: "Ah, beef can still be processed in this way! What a master among the people... Hey, it can also get rid of the smell by doing this ? Really insightful!"

He walked out of the cubicle, regarded Lu Jia as nothing, went to the pantry to get a piece of fresh beef, and started to deal with it in a new way.The beef sauce couldn't be made so quickly, and while waiting for the marinade to finish, they chatted.

Lu Jia asked: "How do you think this beef sauce can be made?"

Zhang An said: "It is versatile, but how to match it best needs to be tested. Boss, are you planning to use it in catering?"

Lu Jia said, "What do you think?"

Zhang An said: "Boss, didn't you open a soy sauce factory, although it hasn't started operation yet. I think this beef sauce can be sold alone. It must be very popular. You can take it home and mix it with yourself as a condiment." Well, it should make more money this way."

Lu Jia shook his head and said: "The price of beef sauce is too high, and the cost is more than ten yuan, plus packaging and marketing, if it is less than twenty yuan, it will not make money. The audience will not be too wide, but you have to get involved in unfamiliar places There is no need to expand this sales network in other areas.”

Zhang An said, "I don't quite understand this. Then what is our soy sauce factory going to do?"

Lu Jia said: "Chun Xiaodou has not been confiscated yet, and the soy sauce that the factory is trying to produce is all made of old beans. Let's wait for the new soy sauce to come out."
