Food: The super chef just wants to set up a stall leisurely

At 4:20 in the afternoon, Li Donglai found a gap in the crowded electric vehicle parking area at the school gate, parked his car in a random gap, turned around and walked into the road next to the school gate.

"Hey, Feiyu's dad, aren't you going to pick up Feiyu today?" A parent who passed by and knew his son asked curiously.

"Ah... answer it! I have something else to do, answer it later!"

Li Donglai replied with a stiff smile, turned around and started jogging.

After arriving at the small path, he looked around and saw the large glass cabinet that was still bright and eye-catching. Li Donglai was delighted. Here it comes, the food is calling! He must eat his fill today!

I walked to the stall in two or three steps, and saw two or three parents already waiting after placing their orders.

"Beautiful lady, except for bananas and rice cakes, give me two skewers of each type of fried skewers, and 10 skewers of fried tenderloin!"

"I want it spicy, just like yesterday."

"Hey, you added a new variety today? What's this white thing?"

“It’s tofu wrapped in paste.”

"Oh, your fried skewers are delicious! What do you use as the dipping sauce? It's spicy and fragrant, very flavorful, and not salty."

"Really? I think so too. The dipping sauce here is absolutely amazing. I couldn't get enough of it yesterday." The parent who was waiting for the fried skewers quickly started the conversation.

"That's right! The tenderloin is fried so crispy and tender, and it tastes juicy when you eat it."

"Why don't you eat her fried bananas? Fried bananas are delicious. I, a man, love them!"

"Oh, I don't like that sweet stuff. I ate it yesterday. I like bananas, but fried bananas are not good..."

"I don't eat bananas, but I love fried bananas."

The parents started chatting away in a flurry. Zhao Xiaojing smiled secretly but held it back, lowering her head and concentrating on the fried skewers.

"Boss, your fried skewers are ready!"

After brushing the fried skewers with dipping sauce, Zhao Xiaojing turned around and shouted to Li Zhi, the owner of the porridge stall who was selling porridge.

"Okay, here I come!" Li Zhi put the packaged porridge in front of the customer and quickly rushed to the fried skewers stall.

"Hey, boss! You don't want to take my money? How much is this porridge?"

The customer who received the porridge looked confused. What was going on? Was he going to give up his own business and take care of the business next door?

"Three yuan, three yuan, just scan the code!" Li Zhi turned around and shouted to the customer, then turned back and stared at her fried skewers intently.

"No need for a bag, just a box will do. I'm eating it now!"

"Oh, boss, you don't even sell porridge anymore?" A parent who was surrounding the fried skewers stall and was also a regular customer of the porridge stall asked Li Zhi in surprise.

"The porridge will be sold soon. If I don't eat fried skewers soon, I won't be able to buy them."

Li Zhi happily carried the food box back to her stall, sat down, picked up the battered potatoes and started eating. The customer who had just bought porridge at the stall beside her had not left yet.

"Is it so delicious?" The customer watched her eat a string of potatoes in just a few bites, looking very enjoyable.

"That's definitely this one!" Li Zhi gave the customer a thumbs up and said affirmatively.

"Look at these potatoes, golden and translucent, the batter is coated thinly and evenly, fried until crispy and crispy, and the potatoes are fried to the perfect degree of doneness. If they are fried a little longer, the potatoes will be soft, but if they are fried a little less, they will be raw. It's perfect!"

"And her dipping sauce is spicy and savory, but the spiciness doesn't steal the flavor of the fried skewers at all. It really enhances the flavor!"

Li Zhi chatted with the customers while eating.

"You... you are so good at speaking, why don't you use it to sell your own porridge?" The customer swallowed silently and decided to go next door to buy fried skewers.

"How about you buy another bowl of porridge? Let me tell you, this Tremella porridge took me a full hour to cook. This Tremella ..."

The customer waved and walked away quickly.

Li Zhi smiled and continued to indulge in the fried pork belly in the box.

What a delicacy! Pork belly is so delicious.

The fried meat has a rich aroma with alternating fat and lean parts. The fat is not greasy, and the lean is not dry. It tastes very layered when paired with the spicy dipping sauce, and has a unique oily aroma that is very memorable.

"Sister, leave me five skewers of pork belly and five skewers of potatoes wrapped in dough. I'll fry them after school!" Li Zhi shouted to Zhao Xiaojing.

"Good boss."

The school bell rang.

"Wang Yiwen, let's stand in the second row!" The fat boy pulled his deskmate and lined up very actively, standing behind the classmate holding the class sign at the front.

"We'll run straight out of the door, you follow me!"

"Okay! Run faster later!"

The two looked at each other and nodded firmly.

After going out, the fat boy just said "Run!" and saw Wang Yiwen taking the lead and running ahead of him.

There were also several waves of elementary school students rushing out.

"What's wrong with the students today? They are so excited right after school."

"Children nowadays are well-nourished. They are full of energy and can run really fast."

Parents who were unaware of the truth sighed with inexplicable relief.

"Sister, sister, I want fried bananas and fried rice cakes!"

"Sister, sister, sister, I want three squids, and one skewer of each of the others!"

"Sister, look at me! I want lotus root, eggplant, potato, red meat, and the white one!"

"Sister, I was here first! I want a chicken drumstick!"

"Boss, I ate at your restaurant yesterday. I was the first one here. I want 5 skewers of tenderloin!"

"Beautiful sister, I want..."

Zhao Xiaojing was a little confused. She was packing up the fried skewers for the last customer when she saw primary school students rushing towards her in the distance like they were running a 100-meter race. She thought something was wrong, but they all swarmed to her stall and started ordering fried skewers.

This is too crazy!

She didn't know who came first, and so many children were shouting. What should she do?

"Hey, hey, hey! Line up, kids. If you line up, I can fry the skewers for you quickly, right? If you want to eat the skewers quickly, start lining up from my side. Whoever lines up first will get fried first!"

Li Zhi shouted loudly. She saw Zhao Xiaojing's dilemma and came to help enthusiastically. She had been setting up a stall here for several years and had seen many parents and students. She had developed a thick skin.

Under her command, the students swarmed to the place she pointed out that did not occupy the road, and lined up obediently.

"Thank you so much, boss."

Zhao Xiaojing looked at Li Zhi with gratitude and decided to save some more fried skewers for her later.

"It's no big deal. Why call me boss? My name is Li Zhi, so just call me Lao Li."

Li Zhi waved her hand gracefully and returned to her porridge stall.

After all the elementary school students lined up, the skewers were fried in a more orderly and faster manner than yesterday.

One big pot can be used to fry several students at the same time. Just stay focused and control the oil temperature and frying time.

Zhao Xiaojing felt even more grateful and thought about taking care of the porridge stall business after she sold out.

In the distance, Qin Jingli finally bypassed the crowd of students, parked the car and rushed over.

As soon as I arrived, I saw the conspicuous fried skewers stall in the alley. More than a dozen elementary school students were lined up neatly, all of them staring at the stall. Several of them had already bought the fried skewers and were standing next to the stall, eating them happily.

My husband and child are still in the second row in front of me.

"Jia Jia! Why are you still queuing? Lao Li, didn't you say you would come early to pick up the kids?"

"Mom!" Seeing Qin Jingli, the daughter immediately threw herself onto her legs and hugged her tightly.

"Oh my little baby!"

"You don't know how crowded it was just now. It was like a swarm! I was embarrassed to squeeze with the kids, so I didn't move in. I only stood here when the queue started."

"Mom, we just ordered all kinds of fried skewers, one for each person!"

"Already ordered? No, give me 10 more skewers of tenderloin and 10 more skewers of pigeon belly!"

"Boss, let's add 10 more skewers of tenderloin and 10 more skewers of pigeon belly."

"Ok."

The family of three didn't communicate after ordering. Three pairs of eyes were staring at the skewers that had just been put into the oil pan in front of Zhao Xiaojing.

It took four take-out boxes to pack up the skewers for the family of three.

"It smells so good!" The child's father couldn't help but twitch his nose after taking the fried skewers.

Qin Jingli is busy with work and seldom comes to pick up her child. After getting the fried skewers, she wanted to find a stall to sit down. She looked around and found that there was no place with seats. When she turned around, the father and daughter were already standing and eating.

"Mom, this is delicious!" The daughter excitedly stuffed a string of fried chicken gizzards into her hand.

Qin Jingli was mesmerized by the skewers that were fried in oil, red sauce and with a charred aroma. She didn't care to be more particular and just took the fried chicken gizzards and started eating.

"Hmm~ This tastes amazing!" Qin Jingli couldn't help but praise after taking a bite. She carefully looked at the skewer of chicken gizzards in her hand while chewing.

The meat of the chicken gizzard is quite thick, with a chewy texture, crispy and fragrant when chewed, and it does not feel bland at all. There are cuts on the surface of the chicken gizzard, which should be because it has been marinated in advance to be so flavorful.

But I don’t know how the boss handled it. He not only marinated it well, but also didn’t let the seasoning smell take over the taste of the chicken gizzards themselves. It doesn’t have a heavy marinated taste, but instead makes the firm meat more delicious.

And it doesn’t have any smell of chicken offal, she likes it.

With this skill, you can definitely open a shop!

Qin Jingli ate heartily while staring at the various fried skewers soaked in dipping sauces in the food box. She forgot all about dieting, exercising and keeping in shape.

Fried skewers are good for just a little bit, three meals a day is just right~

"Girl, did you save my pork belly and potatoes for me?"

At five forty, Zhao Xiaojing had just packed up the last portion on her stall when Li Zhi ran over impatiently.

All the students had already come out, so she could have closed her porridge stall long ago, but she was still thinking about her fried skewers, so she kept waiting for Zhao Xiaojing to finish her work.

Business is so good that even when the glass cases are empty and people are reminded not to queue up, there are still students and parents who keep coming to ask for more.

"I've kept it! The skewers I gave you are in a separate box. Do you want to fry them now?"

"Boom, boom, boom! I'm so greedy!"

Zhao Xiaojing fished out a food grid from the storage space below and put the fried skewers inside into the oil pan one by one.

"Hey, why are there so many? Are they all for me?"

"Sister Li, thanks to your help today, these are for you to eat."

"No, no, I'll charge you. You can't eat this for free. It's not easy for you to set up a stall!"

"It's okay. It's not worth anything. I'm just happy that you like it."

"Oh, that's not what I said..."

The two of them argued back and forth for a long time. Zhao Xiaojing was truly grateful, but Li Zhi felt embarrassed because she felt it was a small favor not worth mentioning.

In the end, Li Zhi only paid for the five skewers of pork belly and five skewers of potatoes she ordered, and gave the rest to her to eat. Zhao Xiaojing accepted the full cup of sago that Li Zhi gave her.
