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

Moon Festival.

As Wen Yulan said, the construction site notified the workers of the holiday two days in advance, but because most of the workers live in other places and they all hoped that the project would be completed early so that they could go home and rest for a while, they only gave one day of holiday symbolically.

Sun Dehai, Geng Mingyan and others did not live in Yangcheng, so they voluntarily stayed in the kitchen to cook for the workers who did not want to go out to the construction site.

Seeing that Sun Dehai and his colleagues were staying, Zhao Xiaojing wanted to stay and cook too, but was unanimously rejected by the kitchen staff, who said that they couldn't cook too many meals during the holidays. Most of the workers would leave the construction site and go to the new city to visit, so there would be very few workers to eat, and the kitchen would have no use for her at all.

Moreover, there is overtime pay for staying to cook, so Zhao Xiaojing can go home and celebrate the holidays with peace of mind.

Zhao Xiaojing felt very embarrassed. Although she had only been with this group of colleagues for a short time, they were all very caring towards her.

Afterwards, Secretary Fan went to the kitchen and gave each kitchen employee a holiday red envelope on behalf of the company.

Zhao Xiaojing noticed that the red envelopes she and Sun Dehai received were different from those of others. When she opened them, she found that there were 300 yuan inside, which surprised her again.

Because she was going to Dong Mei's and Wen's homes, Zhao Xiaojing notified the parents in the fried skewers group in advance and moved the frying on Mid-Autumn Day to the day before, making both varieties at the same time.

The fried skewers group was flooded with orders that day. Although they were only closed for one day and had prepared two varieties in advance, diners were buying fried skewers like Zhao Xiaojing was going to disappear for a year, with almost five kilograms per person.

Zhao Xiaojing sacrificed another two hours of sleep before she finished making all the fried skewers for the group.

The day before, when she was riding her stall bike waiting for customers to get her fried skewers, the parents who had bought her fried skewers before brought gifts for Zhao Xiaojing, as if they had discussed it beforehand.

The most popular items were mooncakes of various flavors, followed by some small pendants and accessories related to the Mid-Autumn Festival. Some generous parents even brought two boxes of hairy crabs to Zhao Xiaojing.

Most of these parents took the fried skewers, put down the gifts and ran away. In the end, Zhao Xiaojing could no longer tell which parents gave these gifts.

In the end, Zhao Xiaojing had no choice but to accept it and was so moved that she kept saying thank you all night.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhao Xiaojing slept until six o'clock, which was a rare occasion.

I got up and went to the wholesale market again, and bought a few boxes of chicken wings, duck necks, duck gizzards, chicken racks, chicken paws, a few whole chickens, ribs, and so on.

Wen’s family is large, and the batch I sent last time has probably been eaten up, so I made something different this time.

As for Dong Mei, although she was unhappy last time, she seemed to like the food she cooked for her before. Strictly speaking, she has been making fried skewers for so long, but Dong Mei has never tasted them, so she will make some for her this time.

By the way, I bought a large number of red beans, mung beans and sugar water packaging boxes at the wholesale market. Speaking of which, I received so many gifts from customers, and I don’t know who sent them. I can’t accept them for nothing. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will treat everyone to summer sugar water.

Although there seemed to be a lot of things, Zhao Xiaojing was already familiar with the shopping process, so it didn't take her much time. Before 7 o'clock, she returned home with a car full of things.

Meat, red beans, mung beans and other ingredients have all been put in the system refrigerator, and they can be taken out upstairs. Zhao Xiaojing now takes advantage of the system to move them for free every day, and does not need to climb the stairs to move the ingredients herself. She only needs to carry some packaging boxes upstairs.

If the system stall cart is recycled downstairs, the things can be placed in the stall cart and carried empty-handed. It’s just that the rental house is too small and the stall cart cannot fit in, so the refrigerator is used every time.

After returning home, wash the meat, apply the seasoning and marinate it. After it is marinated enough, fry it, let it cool and pack it in bags.

Then, I picked up the hairy crabs and mooncakes that the customers gave me yesterday and set off for Dong Mei's house.

After knocking on the door for a long time, Zhao Xiaojing finally heard the sound of hurried jogging from inside.

"You're here." Dong Mei, wearing an apron, opened the door expressionlessly, and greeted Zhao Xiaojing indifferently when she saw her outside.

"Three aunts."

"You're dealing with all this mess again. It seems that you're really capable and have too much money to spend." Dong Mei looked at Zhao Xiaojing who came in with her hands full of things, and said another sentence in a bad mood.

"Aunt, I made these myself and wanted to give them to you to try. Also, these mooncakes and crabs were given to me by others, so I didn't spend any money on them."

Zhao Xiaojing hurriedly explained that she had said everything she should and shouldn't have said during the last quarrel. She was also mentally prepared this time, so she was not so nervous when she saw Dong Mei.

"You made it yourself so you don't have to spend money? Food, oil, salt, and firewood all cost money. You have a lot in this bag. Are these all dropped from the sky? I told you last time that you don't have to use these things to please me. If you really want to make me happy, it's better to bring a boyfriend here than to bring these things!

Okay! You sit down first and eat the snacks on the table. I'll go cook."

Dong Mei's gloomy face didn't relax at all. After she finished speaking, she went back to the kitchen to get busy.

Zhao Xiaojing was mentally prepared, she picked up her things and followed him into the kitchen.

"Third Aunt, I really didn't buy these crabs. You see they are still quite fresh, but they won't last long in such a hot day. I can't finish them all by myself, and it would be a waste to leave them there, right? Sister Yanyan and the others will be here at noon, so we can eat together."

Zhao Xiaojing took out the crab gift box and placed it next to the kitchen sink. Dong Mei glanced at it and reluctantly came over to open the gift box. Zhao Xiaojing took a look and tactfully moved out the steamer from the cupboard.

"Third Aunt, these are the fried foods I made. Each one has different seasonings. Fry them when you want to eat them. If you don't want to fry them, just fry them in a pan or electric baking pan and sprinkle some corresponding seasonings on them. I'll put them in the freezer for you."

After moving the steamer, Zhao Xiaojing took out the fried food from the bag. Looking at Dong Mei's frowning brows, she spoke quickly and stuffed the things into the refrigerator.

Dong Mei turned her head away and looked at the air for a while before turning to glance at Zhao Xiaojing who was stuffing something with her back to her.

"Why do you keep doing these useless things all day? What will happen if I eat them? How much meat will I gain? I don't need you to do these things to please me. I don't need you to pay me back as you said last time. I just need you to be normal and find a good man to marry!"

"Third Aunt, I know you don't need it. I just wanted to make this for you. I also know you're not short of money, and you're not forcing me to ask for money. I just want to pay you back."

Zhao Xiaojing then picked up the brush to wash the crabs, expressing her thoughts honestly.

She figured it out. In her last life, she didn't dare to say anything and could only live in a timid way. Now that this life has begun, she will no longer hide anything. This time, she will just be herself and say whatever she wants.

"It's just that I owe you so much money, and I always feel like I owe you something. Once my ideas are different from yours, I feel guilty, and I can never muster up the courage to be myself. Third Aunt, paying back the money is not a bad thing. Just think of it as giving me some confidence."
