At dawn, Huzi yawned, pulled out the cotton coat from the quilt, then quickly put it on, put on his shoes, rolled up the quilt twice, and wiped his face with a handkerchief twice.

"Hey, where's San'er?" Huzi suddenly remembered that Tang Yuan should have slept with him last night, but now he didn't see anyone. He opened the door and went out. A gust of cold wind blew past him, causing his face to twitch in pain, " Saner! Saner!"

Tang Yuan, who was resting on the table wrapped in a quilt, heard the sound, pinched the bridge of his nose a little irritably, and patted his face twice to wake himself up.

He was going to squeeze Huzi last night, but before he fell asleep, Huzi's loud snoring sounded one after another, making him unable to sleep at all, so he had to run to the hospital with the quilt. Just make do with it.

But it was cold at night, even with a quilt on, he was terribly cold. He didn't fall asleep until he heard the loud voice of the watchman outside saying that it was the third watch.

"Brother Huzi," Tang Yuan rubbed his face hard, rolled up the quilt, hugged and walked back, "You go get the goods first, I'll open the door."

"San'er, you slept at the front last night?!" Huzi looked at the quilt in his arms, disapprovingly said, "It's so cold at night, how could you sleep at the front?! What if you catch cold? manage?"

It's rare that Tang Yuan was viewed with the eyes of an ignorant child.

"..." Tang Yuan held back again and again, but he couldn't hold back, and said to Hu Zi, "Brother Hu Zi, you snore too loud at night." Otherwise, who would want to suffer from the cold!

Huzi's face froze for a moment, and then he smiled awkwardly: "Well, I didn't know I snored so loudly, I'm sorry, San'er."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the room again, "Why don't you go into the room for a while and wait until I get the goods back."

"No need," Tang Yuan stood in the back well and was blown by the cold wind. He had already left most of his drowsiness. He waved his hand at Huzi, "Go and get the goods. By the way, help me bring two catties of peanuts and five When I come back with a catty of mung beans, I’ll cook a pot of noodles, and we’ll eat together later when Brother Nuo and the others come.”

"Okay." Hu Zi replied, then pulled the cart and went out.

Tang Yuan went to open the store door first, then scooped up two ladles of water, put the handkerchief into the basin, and stretched his hands in. The moment he touched the water, he decisively decided to boil a pot of hot water first.

He lit the stove and boiled a large pot of hot water. When the water boiled, he first scooped up two ladles and poured it into the basin, and then poured two packets of soda noodles into it.

While the noodles were cooking, I washed them quickly, then took out the noodles and put them in a bowl, scooped up a few spoonfuls of broth for skewers made last night, and sprinkled with a few pinches of chopped green onions.

As soon as the noodles were ready, Su Nuo's voice was heard.

"Brother Tang!"

As soon as he stepped out of the kitchen, he saw Su Nuo coming, followed by Hu's father and Hu's mother, and Da Zhuang went to put the donkey cart and unload the vegetables collected from the village.

"Come and eat the noodles, I just made them," Tang Yuan waved at him, and said to Hu's father and Hu's mother who were a little cautious behind Su Nuo, "Let's eat together."

"Thank you, Brother Tang!" Su Nuo smiled at Tang Yuan, and then dragged Mother Hu into the kitchen, and handed one of the bowls of noodles on the table to Mother Hu, "Eat quickly, Brother Tang is really good at cooking!"

Tang Yuan also signaled Hu's father to sit down, then called Da Zhuang in, and they ate together.

Hu's mother and Hu's father were a little panicked. They had never seen a boss who was so kind and even made food for the guys himself.

Thinking in their hearts, the two of them would glance at Tang Yuan from time to time while eating, and planned to get up immediately if Tang Yuan's expression was not right.

Tang Yuan pretended not to know, put the leftover bowl of noodles on the table into the pot to heat up, and then lowered his head to eat his own.

But Su Nuo and Da Zhuang didn't notice anything, they squinted their eyes after eating noodles and soup.

Although the noodles look clear and watery, they taste very good. After all, the soup in the noodles is a broth that has been simmered all night.

Halfway through eating, Huzi came back with the goods, Su Nuo and Da Zhuang quickly finished eating, Hu's father and Hu's mother also finished their noodles, and then went to move the things on the scooter.

"Brother Huzi, the noodles are hot in the pot, go eat them quickly." Tang Yuan asked Huzi to eat the noodles, and helped unload the noodles himself.

Then they did their own work. Hu's mother followed Su Nuo to clean up the dishes, and Hu's father followed Tang Yuan to fry the bottom ingredients in the kitchen. Although there were always plenty of bottom ingredients, Tang Yuan still fried a little more every day. Lest it is not enough when you need it.

"Hu Bo, help me chop these up," Tang Yuan made room for Hu's father, and took a handful of peppers from the basket to chop, "Just cut it like I do."

Father Hu nodded repeatedly, watched Tang Yuan's movements carefully, and then began to cut.

Seeing his skillful movements, Tang Yuan felt satisfied.

With Father Hu's help, Tang Yuan spent two quarters of an hour less time frying the bottom ingredients than usual.

While frying the bottom ingredients, Tang Yuan asked Hu's father to watch from the side: "After this pot of frying is finished, you can try frying a pot."

Hu's father opened his eyes wide and kept waving his hands. How could he imitate the boss's way of doing business!

"It's okay, I'll watch it, even if it's bad, I don't blame you," Tang Yuan still insisted on letting Father Hu try it, "I can't be the chef all the time, if you learn well, you will be the chef of this restaurant in the future , wages will also go up.”

Tang Yuan is not interested in staying in the kitchen all the time. A large part of the reason why he chose Father Hu was because Father Hu had worked in the kitchen of other restaurants, so that when he taught things, Father Hu would learn faster, and he also Can get out of the kitchen sooner.

He doesn't have much ambition in this era, his biggest wish is to be a rich man who can eat and drink well, have a house of his own, and cook his favorite delicacies occasionally.

Hu's father was stunned when he heard the words, his face was mixed with excitement and apprehension. It took a long time before he took a deep breath and nodded solemnly to Tang Yuan.

He didn't expect that he would be able to hold the spoon one day. Boss Tang trusted him so much. He must study hard and keep the secret of this recipe firmly!

Tang Yuan finished frying a pot, flicked his wrist, and moved away: "Hu Bo, try it."

Huber nodded, took the spatula from Tang Yuan's hand, and started frying the bottom ingredients carefully according to Tang Yuan's steps and quantity.

Although his movements were a little rusty, the specific steps and weights were not wrong. Tang Yuan watched from the side, feeling very satisfied, and felt that he would be able to leave the kitchen soon.

The number of guests gradually increased. Tang Yuan gave the spatula to Father Hu after frying two servings of fried rice with eggs.

"Huber, come here, let me rest."

Egg fried rice is very simple, Father Hu knew how to make it before, and now after watching Tang Yuan fry two servings, he compares his own steps of making it with Tang Yuan's one by one, and silently corrects it.

"Ah." He was not so nervous about being this father of Hu, he took the spatula, pointed to the bench next to him, and signaled Tang Yuan to go and rest.

Tang Yuan sat down and drank a glass of water, then raised another stove, put the pot on, and dug out the two catties of peanuts that Huzi bought in the morning.

Then shell the peanuts, pour them into the pot, and fry slowly over low heat.

The peanuts are still raw and wrapped in red skin. After the light red skin on the surface turns darker, pour it into a plate and pull it with a shovel to let it cool down quickly.

After cooling down, Tang Yuan grabbed a handful of peanuts, closed his hands, and rubbed them back and forth to remove the red skin wrapped in the peanuts.

The red skin has become very crisp after being stir-fried, and it can be rubbed off after a little rubbing. It took Tang Yuan less than two quarters of an hour to rub it all off.

It's just that there are some crumbs on the plate. Tang Yuan picked up the plate with both hands, controlled the strength, and shook the plate back and forth until all the crumbs on the plate fell out.

Afterwards, Tang Yuan took out the stone mortar used to pound sesame seeds yesterday, and began to repeat the steps of making sesame paste yesterday, but this time he added a little sugar and a little salt when making peanut butter.

Peanuts are much harder to grind than sesame seeds. It took Tang Yuan almost two hours to prepare two catties of peanuts.

The color of the prepared peanut butter is lighter than that of sesame paste, and it smells like a strong sesame aroma. Peanut butter smells sweet, but it is different from sugar. It is sweet with a peanut aroma, which is very unique.

Hu's father cooked the lunch at noon. Although the taste is not as good as Tang Yuan's, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is delicious.

"Hu Bo, I'll hand over the kitchen to you this afternoon. Do you think you can do it?" Tang Yuan picked up a piece of meat for Su Nuo. The dishes were far away from Su Nuo, so he couldn't pick them up. "I might have to go back later." Home, you can go back to make a bullock cart, and I will give you the money later."

He has to use a stone mill to make the sesame paste skin-lift, so he has to go back.

Father Hu originally wanted to shake his head, but after hearing what Tang Yuan said, he hesitated for a while and nodded to Tang Yuan.

In the morning, Boss Tang had already taught him everything, and Boss Tang didn't point out his mistakes when he was doing it. He can come alone if he wants to, and he can't delay Boss Tang's work!

"Brother Tang, if you have something to do, go back first. We will build a bullock cart and pay for it ourselves." Su Nuo winked at Tang Yuan, "Don't worry, you paid us such a high wage, we still have the money for the ride." of."

Then he said: "Brother Tang, if you can't do it alone, just wait for me to go back and help you."

Tang Yuan smiled: "Okay."

Taking five catties of mung beans with him, Tang Yuan drove home. When he came back, the ladies who were working at his house hadn't left yet, so they looked around curiously when they saw him come back.

The yard is full of noodle drying racks, and the halls are full of workers. Tang Yuan had no choice but to fetch water first, heat a pot, then mix it with warm water, and soak the mung beans. Make his own workshop, or he will move, or let them work in another place.

While keeping this matter in mind, he removed the stone mill and cleaned it. The last time he finished grinding the beans, he just washed them briefly. This time, he had to wash the mung beans again.

The mung beans need to be soaked for an hour and a half, and Tang Yuan has enough time to clean the stone mill.

After the mung beans are soaked and the stone mill is cleaned, the girls who are just making noodles will be off work.

Now the wages are settled by Su's mother and Aunt Zhou, Tang Yuan only needs to check the accounts every month.

"Brother Tang, what are you going to do?" An old lady passed by Tang Yuan, rolled her eyes, and asked suddenly.

Tang Yuan didn't speak or look at her, as if he didn't hear her.

If an ordinary person saw him like this, he would definitely leave wisely, but this aunt acted as if she hadn't noticed, and asked again: "Could it be some new food?"

Tang Yuan raised his head impatiently, and said lightly: "You should go."

Mother Su and Aunt Zhou who were walking behind immediately stepped forward and pushed the man forward: "Hurry up and go! What do you talk about when people do things, what has it to do with you!"

"Let's go! Let's go!"

With that said, the two urged people to leave Tang Yuan's house, and closed the door for Tang Yuan.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Tang Yuan used a stone mill to grind the soaked mung beans into a paste, then filtered them with gauze, and put them aside.

After grinding the mung beans, it was already late, and the filtered mung bean paste had to stand for an hour and a half, so Tang Yuan had to go to rest and wait until the next day to continue cooking.
