Courtyard No. 15, Shoubi Hutong, kitchen
Sun Hao with an apron around his waist is cooking. As soon as this guy gets home, he starts to get busy!
Pork belly, washed, put into a pot under cold water, add cooking wine, ginger, aniseed ingredients, bring to a boil over high heat, continue to cook...
Beside him, a tall middle-aged man was helping.
Hmm..., it's better to say that he's peeling the garlic than he's doing it. However, the method of peeling garlic for middle-aged people is different from others.
I saw him take the garlic, first break it open one by one, then put it in a bowl and rinse it with water, and when it was rinsed, put it on the chopping board and beat it with a knife... Finally, pick the garlic skin!
"Sun Hao, did you see that?
My method of peeling garlic is what I learned from fellow villagers in northern Shaanxi. It is simple, quick and hygienic. "
"Okay!"
Sun Hao glanced at it and replied casually.
"Why, do you have a faster method?" The middle-aged man became interested.
"have!"
Sun Hao poked the pork belly in the pot with his chopsticks. When he saw that it was ready, he turned off the fire, took it out of the pot, and cut the meat while saying:
"When I was young, there were white things in the village, and there were often forty or fifty tables at a time, but there were only two cooks.
There is no way, they can only save trouble, wash the garlic, put the garlic cloves directly in the garlic mortar without breaking them, and then pour the garlic into a sieve to sieve, the sieved is the garlic, and What remains in the sieve is the garlic skin. "
"Haha..." The middle-aged man laughed.
"It's really easy enough, but we are the only ones eating today, so we don't seem to need so much mashed garlic, right?"
"Um…"
Sun Hao nodded.
"Leader, what I introduced is just a method."
Although chatting, but Sun Hao's work is not slow at all, cut the pork belly, cut the sauerkraut, soak the vermicelli, then start the pot, put the oil, add the pepper aniseed red pepper to cook until fragrant …
"Sun Hao..."
"Um?"
"Do you know why I like to eat stewed pork belly with sauerkraut?" The middle-aged man took two steps back, picked up a teapot from the table next to him, poured two cups of tea, put a cup in Sun Hao's hand, and picked up a cup for himself .
"Um…"
Sun Hao thought for a while.
"I think maybe it has something to do with that special time back then?"
"good!"
He found a chair by the dining table and sat down. The middle-aged man held a teacup in his hand and recalled the past.
"Sun Hao, at that time, it was bitter, and there was basically nothing to eat, let alone pork.
The only luxury is the sauerkraut pickled by the villagers in northern Shaanxi. Because it is scarce, they can't eat it in the morning or at night. They can only stew it when they come back from work at noon.
At that time, I thought, it would be great if I could eat stewed sauerkraut every day, of course, it would be best to add some pork belly to the sauerkraut, haha..."
The middle-aged man was laughing, but Sun Hao looked serious. He could understand the middle-aged man very well.
This is an obsession!
Just like in the previous life, when I was a child, I never wore new shoes or clothes, I just picked up my brother's leftovers to wear.
And when I grow up, I earn money, and whenever I have time, I go out to buy clothes and shoes...
Even if you can't wear it, it's good to put it in the shoe closet.
It didn't take long, in about half an hour, Sun Hao finished all four dishes and one stew.
Lotus root slices mixed with garlic, scrambled eggs with vermicelli, fried shredded pork with garlic moss, stir-fried lamb blood with leeks, plus a pot of braised vermicelli with pickled cabbage and pork belly ordered by the middle-aged man himself.
"Leader, are you drinking beer or white wine?"
"Sun Hao, it's the first time you come to your house as a guest, so naturally you have to bring some gifts, so why don't you drink mine?"
"good!"
Sun Hao was also polite, took two bottles of wine from the middle-aged man, put down one bottle, and opened the other bottle.
"Leader, how much can you drink?"
"Half a catty!
The main purpose of coming to your place today is to recognize the door, and chat with you by the way, let's not drink too much. "
"OK."
Sun Hao agreed, and took two glasses from the cabinet to share the wine. Each glass was exactly half a catty of wine, and a bottle of white wine was poured, which was just right.
"Sun Hao, come, have a taste..."
As soon as Sun Hao delivered the divided baijiu to the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man turned his back on the customer, picked up the chopsticks from the table, and then made his hands on the pot of sauerkraut and pork stewed vermicelli in the middle.
Picking up a piece of pork belly and looking at the light in the kitchen, the middle-aged man said "good knife skills" and put it in his mouth to chew slowly.
"Well, the taste is absolutely amazing, it's the taste I had back then."
"Ha ha…"
At this time, Sun Hao was happy.
"Leader, during the National Day last year, I sent my classmates to Zhongwei, Ning Province to experience life. I stayed in Shangtan Village for one night, and I learned the recipe of this dish from the folks there."
"No wonder, no wonder, it seems to be only more than 300 kilometers away from the place where I went to the countryside." The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed, while raising his glass.
"Sun Hao, come on, let's go!"
Hearing the greeting, Sun Hao immediately held the glass with both hands, put the glass extremely low, touched the middle-aged man, immediately drained 1/3 of the wine in the glass, and said:
"Leader, let me go deeper, you can do whatever you want!"
"okay!"
The middle-aged man hesitated a little, and when he raised his head, he drank as much as Sun Hao.
"Sun Hao..."
Putting down the wine glass, the middle-aged man wiped his mouth with a napkin, then picked up his chopsticks and chatted with Sun Hao while eating.
"Some time ago, I went back to Pengcheng to visit the old man, and suddenly heard something. You seem to have invested in an instant messaging software called Qiuqiu in Pengcheng, right?"
"That's what happened!"
"Are you so optimistic about its market prospects? I heard that you invested several million dollars at a time."
Faced with the doubts of the middle-aged man, Sun Hao put down his chopsticks, took out his mobile phone, and put it on the dining table.
"Leader, is the phone bill expensive now?"
"Of course it's expensive, and there's a two-way charge!" The middle-aged man also stopped eating.
"If a few years later, this instant messaging software can realize all the functions of mobile phone calls, and it doesn't cost a penny of phone charges, do you think it has a big market prospect?"
"Big, of course big!
But ordinary people can’t carry a laptop with them wherever they go because of this instant messaging software~www.mtlnovel.com~…”
But as soon as we talked here, the middle-aged man suddenly realized, "I remembered, in your sci-fi movie "Source Code", there was a scene where all the passengers in the train carriage were using their mobile phones to surf the Internet. , a mobile phone with a seemingly small screen."
"Yes!" Sun Hao rubbed his nose and smiled.
"Leader, I just think that society will definitely develop in that direction. If computers can transition from desktops to notebooks, then they can transition from notebooks to mobile phones.
A few years later, perhaps just like in the movie, only a mobile phone can complete all the work that should be done on the computer. "
"Hmm..." The middle-aged man nodded thoughtfully, but within three minutes, he had a new question.
"Then... Sun Hao, what do you think about investing in the mobile phone communication industry in Fujian Province in the future?"
"OK!"
But as soon as the word "good" was uttered, Sun Hao felt that something was wrong. Today, the boss took the initiative to find him as if it was premeditated!
