Little Chef [Rebirth]

Chapter 18 One step further

After all the dishes were served on the table, the rice was served, and the bowls and chopsticks were prepared, the two of them sat down to eat directly, and the embarrassment caused by the two unexpected kisses just now had long since disappeared.

When he was in the kitchen just now, Mo Fanyu had already tried the taste of spicy crab, so at this moment, he stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a boiled shrimp.

It's just that if you want to eat shrimp, you need to peel off the shrimp shell first. Mo Fanyu was born extraordinary. He grew up with rich clothes and good food. Even though there were various conflicts within the family, his basic necessities of life were still not treated badly. The servant girls who served him were not around. few.

Therefore, when he wanted to eat shrimp and crab, the servants would remove the shells of the cooked shrimp and crab early on, leaving only the shrimp and crab meat, and put them in a small plate and serve them directly to his mouth. All he needs to do is move his chopsticks.

So now, looking down at the whole shrimp caught by him, Mo Fanyu frowned, looking left and right, not knowing how to put his mouth, he looked up at Ning Xiuyuan, and saw that the other party was skillfully peeling the shrimp , So I followed suit, put down the chopsticks in my hand, and stretched out my hand to peel the shrimp——

It's just that I have never done it before, so it took more than half of the time just to peel a shrimp, and the shrimp meat is not complete.

"..." Looking at the messy shrimp meat that he made a mess, Mo Fanyu completely lost the desire to eat, and when he looked at the bowl of boiled shrimp on the table, he also had no thought of picking it up.

Seeing Mo Fanyu struggling to peel the boiled shrimp just now, Ning Xiuyuan shook his head helplessly, smiled, then put down the bowl in his hand, picked up a shrimp, and began to peel it.

With his hands, he skillfully pinched off the head of the shrimp and peeled off the shell. In the blink of an eye, Ning Xiuyuan had peeled a shrimp.

Putting the peeled shrimp into Mo Fanyu's bowl, Ning Xiuyuan said, "I'll peel it for you, you can eat."

Hearing this, Mo Fanyu raised his head from his self-disgust, first looked at the shrimp in his bowl, then raised his eyes to quietly stare at Ning Xiuyuan, looking straight into the other party's smiling face In the eyes, the softest part of the heart was hit, and it felt soft.

Apart from his mother, it was the first time he was treated with such considerate care.

Being stared at all the time, Ning Xiuyuan couldn't help asking: "Why do you keep looking at me? Is there something on my face?" While speaking, he had already peeled another shrimp and put it in Mo Fan's bowl. Signal the other party to eat quickly.

Blinking, a strange emotion flashed across his eyes, Mo Fanyu shook his head, then picked up the chopsticks again, put Ning Xiuyuan's peeled shrimp into his mouth, lowered his eyes, and said softly: "Thanks."

Ning Xiuyuan just smiled and waved his hands nonchalantly, meaning that you don't need to be polite. Then, he continued to peel the shrimps, occasionally putting them in his own bowl, but most of them were put into Mo Fanyu's bowl. After peeling the shrimps , and began to peel the crab again. The spicy and spicy taste of this spicy crab is really memorable.

After this dinner, the two people who were still close to each other got closer to each other. Although they knew each other, they could still see the bright smile hidden in their eyes when they met by chance.



After dinner, Ning Xiuyuan cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen to continue processing the meat and ribs he bought earlier.

Two catties of fat meat was fried by Ning Xiuyuan in lard, while the lean meat and pork ribs were frozen in water for cooking tomorrow—in fact, even if the weather is like that, the meat would not It will be broken, but to make sure, he put it in the water to cool it down. At night, a thin layer of ice will form on the surface of the water in this season, which shows that the temperature is very low.

Throwing the chopped fat meat into the pot, adding a little water and some salt, Ning Xiuyuan stood in front of the stove, holding a spatula in his hand, and doubled it from time to time.

Two quarters of an hour later, all the lard had been fried, and the fire was extinguished. Ning Xiuyuan found an oval-shaped vial with a slightly narrower mouth and bottom, and a round part in the middle. He poured the deep-fried oil into it. Just enough to fill.

Putting the oil bottle away properly, Ning Xiuyuan first filled up the oil residue in the pot before returning to the stove. As a chef, he didn't agree to keep it any longer, but these days, he was used to poverty, and he was reluctant to throw it away. So after thinking about it, I put it away.

After putting away the oil residue and tidying up the kitchen, I stretched myself, turned off the oil lamp, and walked out of the kitchen.

In the yard, Mo Fanyu was sitting on a stone bench, looking up at the sky. There were not many labels on his face, his expression was inexplicable, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Standing on the same spot for a while, I felt that my feet were sore, so Ning Xiuyuan walked up to Mo Fanyu and sat down. Like him, he raised his head to look at the night sky.

At this time, a full moon hangs high above the branches, embellishing the black curtain with the stars all over the sky, making the whole night sky look like a Milky Way, as beautiful as a starry sky painting.

Staring at the full moon for a while, Ning Xiuyuan withdrew his eyes and lowered his head, muttering to himself: "Ah, it's already fifteen today." It turned out that he had already come to this strange place. The world is almost a month away.

"What did you say?" Hearing a soft sigh, Mo Fanyu looked back at the night sky and turned to Ning Xiuyuan.

"Well, it's nothing." Shaking his head, seeing the young man sitting next to him looking at him with concern, the sudden emotional depression in Ning Xiuyuan's heart disappeared instantly.

He thought, in fact, it would be nice to be able to travel to this strange world, otherwise how could he meet Mo Fanyu, how could he be able to accompany him.

"..."

With a slightly suspicious expression, Mo Fanyu continued to stare at Ning Xiuyuan for a while, and found that the other party looked calm, as if the sigh just now really didn't come from him, and he really didn't have anything special to hide from himself.

However, Ning Xiuyuan didn't want to tell him, so he didn't ask. He believed that one day, the other party would be willing to stop holding him back.

Turning his head back, Mo Fanyu raised his hand and took out the 700 taels of silver bill that Gu Jing paid when he asked them to buy Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng, and handed it to Ning Xiuyuan, saying: "This is Gu Jing's money in the afternoon." Jing buys silver tickets for ginseng and ganoderma."

Ning Xiuyuan just glanced at it, then pushed his hand back, shook his head lightly, and said, "This is for you, you are indispensible for being able to dig up those ginseng, ganoderma, and herbs. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have retreated before entering the forest, so you deserve the 700 taels."

"Speaking of which, I've earned a lot." Ning Xiuyuan dragged his chin with one hand, his brows and eyes were curved, his bright eyes narrowed into the shape of crescent moons, and a smile appeared at the corners of his eyes and brows.

Knowing what Ning Xiuyuan was thinking, Mo Fanyu just glanced at him, then withdrew the bank note and stuffed it back into his bosom. After a while, he asked aloud: "In the future, what do you plan to do? Do you want to continue setting up stalls?"

"Stop displaying it." Ning Xiuyuan was silent for a while, thought for a while, and said, "In the past few days, I have been looking around in the city, choose a place with a better location, buy a shop, and then open a restaurant. "

This was planned by him just after crossing over, because after receiving the memory of the original owner, he found that some of the dishes he was good at in his previous life were almost impossible to find in Nancheng, and even if there were, the methods and tastes were different——

In this way, the dishes launched by his restaurant can be regarded as unique, at least in Nancheng. With such a gimmick, he can attract customers no matter what. Although there is no guarantee of big profits, a small profit is enough It is still possible to live a carefree life.

"That should be the case." Mo Fanyu nodded, agreeing with Ning Xiuyuan's thoughts: "The money you earn from selling medicinal materials today is enough for you to buy a bigger shop."

"Yes." Speaking of this, Ning Xiuyuan was still a little excited. He never thought that he could earn more than 1000 taels in a day. His initial idea was to set up a stall for a month or two, and wait until he had enough money. After spending more than thirty taels of silver, I rented a small shop and opened a small restaurant, and then slowly expanded it.

But now, he never imagined that he would be so lucky to find such precious ginseng and ganoderma lucidum just on a trip to the mountain, and both of them are more than a hundred years old. In addition, Mo Fanyu knows how to identify herbs...these are all Out of his expectation.

After recovering from his own thoughts, Ning Xiuyuan suddenly remembered something, opened his eyes wide, and his eyes were bright, he turned his head to look at Mo Fanyu, and asked questions continuously: "By the way, I wanted to ask just now, How about using spicy crab and fish head with chopped pepper as signature dishes at the beginning? Or boil fish? Then add a signature dish every five days, um, how about that?"

Speaking of this, Ning Xiuyuan paused for a moment, he frowned, and then continued to talk to himself: "Well, this restaurant is going to open, but the signature dishes are not enough..."

He was a chef in a small restaurant in his last life, and he stayed most in the kitchen or the storage room. He didn't have any management experience at all, not to mention that his major in college couldn't be linked to this at all, so although he was very excited at the moment He wanted to open a restaurant, but it was still difficult for Ning Xiuyuan to implement it.

The operation and daily management of a restaurant require hard work, which is completely different from being a chef who only needs to stay in the kitchen every day to cook and research new dishes.
