Chapter 118 Someone is looking for you
"Of course, we are busy working in the kiln factory and we still have to find time to go home and cook and feed the children. I feel exhausted just thinking about it.
The old man in this family complains that the food is not tasty. He is really spoiled. It is good enough to have something to eat. How dare he be so picky here? "
"That's right, it's good enough if I can cook it for them to eat. But he still wants to be picky about the taste. I don't have the time to indulge him."
"Indeed, but now it's fine. After the Leng family canteen opens, I don't plan to cook anymore. From now on, this canteen will be my family's dining room."
The women were chatting and joking, talking at once, while queuing and talking about everything from men and children to what they were going to eat today. It was really lively.
In the kitchen, Leng's canteen today launched not only a variety of fried buns, lotus rolls, and clay pot soup rice, but also egg fried rice and fried noodles, all of which are fast-serving foods.
Diners in Taojing Village do not have as many choices of where to eat as diners in the market.
Therefore, in order to cater to everyone's tastes, Leng Yan thought about presenting some classic food from time to time so that they would have more choices.
Most importantly, the reason why classics are called classics is that they taste good no matter how you cook them and you never get tired of them.
For example, egg fried rice can be made into Yangzhou fried rice, or just simple egg fried rice, or you can add some shredded pork and make shredded pork and egg fried rice.
Although egg fried rice is simple to make, the cooking time is very important if you want it to be delicious.
And the rice for fried rice must be leftover rice, so they would steam the rice the day before and save it for making egg fried rice the next day.
Stir-fry the rice in hot oil, add the eggs, season them, sprinkle with chopped green onions and cold coriander, and stir all together. The iron spoon keeps flipping the rice in the pan, and in a short while, a plate of delicious egg fried rice is ready.
The villagers who ordered the food were curious about what this egg fried rice was and ordered some to try.
Then the waiter brought a plate of golden fried rice dotted with green onions.
"Please enjoy your egg fried rice."
After the waiter brought the egg fried rice to the table, he also served a bowl of scallop and winter melon soup and left.
The diner smelled the aroma and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He glanced at the wooden spoon placed aside and subconsciously scooped a spoonful of rice grains into his mouth.
My mouth is filled with the aroma of egg, scallions, rice and oil. The layers of flavor are so delicious that I can't stop eating.
"This, this egg fried rice is so delicious. The rice grains are soft and chewy, and the taste is first-rate."
"Yes, yes, the fried noodles I ordered are also very delicious. The noodles are chewy and paired with various vegetables. It is so fragrant and delicious."
"Yes, I ordered rice with toppings. I've been thinking about it since I ate it at Leng's Food Store in Hulu Town. Now that Leng's Food Store has opened in our village, I can finally eat such delicious food every day!"
"Who says it's not true? Not only is the food delicious, but even the bowl of scallop and winter melon soup is fresh and tasty. Leng Ji's cooking skills are truly amazing. I guess it won't be long before I get fat."
The villagers ate and praised the food in the Leng family canteen, and did not linger after finishing their meal in a hurry. They were busy with their work at the kiln factories, so they left as soon as they finished their meal.
The villagers who ate in the canteen changed in waves, and Village Chief Tao and his wife were the last to arrive.
When ordering, they each ordered a bowl of clay pot soup, as well as the popular egg fried rice and fried noodles.
Leng Yan, who was busy in the kitchen, heard that Village Chief Tao had arrived, so she washed her hands and came out to greet them.
Village Chief Tao waved his hand and told her to go about her business and not to worry about them. After that, the old couple found a place to sit down, and the ordered meals were served on the table one by one.
"Old lady, please try it. How does it taste?"
Village chief Tao kindly asked his wife to eat first.
The reason why Village Chief Tao and his wife came late was that Mrs. Tao didn't want to come out to eat. They were not like other villagers who were too busy to cook.
Therefore, Mrs. Tao thought that since she had time, she could just cook something to eat. It didn't matter what she ate.
But Village Chief Tao didn’t think so. If his wife was a good cook, he would just endure it.
But my wife’s cooking skills are really hard to describe. Usually when there is nothing else to eat, he dare not say anything and just eats it anyway.
But now that the Leng Family Canteen has opened, there are more food choices, and he naturally wants to eat good and delicious food.
Therefore, he persuaded his wife to come out for dinner with him early in the morning, and now she finally came out after much persuasion.
"How about it?"
Village Chief Tao looked at his wife with some anticipation.
"It's really good. No wonder you asked to come out and eat so early in the morning."
Mrs. Tao chewed her rice with satisfaction and glared at the person next to her unhappily.
Village Chief Tao smiled happily upon seeing this, then started eating the fried noodles in front of him, and just ate without saying a word.
So after Leng’s Canteen opened in Taojing Village, it really became a canteen.
The villagers come here to eat almost every day. Even the caravans that transport porcelain to and from Taojing Village know that there is a canteen with particularly delicious food in the village. They come here to eat almost every time and return with great satisfaction every time.
The Leng Family Canteen has firmly established its foothold in Taojing Village, with a daily net profit of several taels. Business is good and the villagers enjoy their meals, so it is a win-win situation.
On this day, Leng Yan was busy preparing a new dish, pork trotter rice, at Lengji Snack Shop in Hulu Town.
The pork trotter rice in the previous life was a well-known meal for working people.
The food is served quickly, tastes good and is rich in fat, making it especially suitable for working people.
The Leng family’s shop and canteen mostly provide meals for workers, so pig’s trotter rice is very suitable for the style of the shop.
Early in the morning, Leng Yan began to adjust the flavor of the braising sauce for the braised pork trotters. After trying many times, she finally came up with a satisfactory taste.
After that, she burned off the hair and cleaned the pig's trotters that had been prepared in advance, then blanched them and set them aside.
Then the sugar color is fried in the marinade, and then the pig's trotters and trotters are added and stewed over high heat until soft.
Stewing takes time. Leng Yan thought that since she was making pork trotter rice, barbecued pork and other ingredients were also necessary. Then she selected a few pieces of the best pork belly and started to get busy.
In the lobby, diners were still coming in for lunch, and the sounds of them chatting and ordering could be heard in the kitchen.
Leng Yan was peeling peanuts and preparing to make some honey-glazed chicken feet when she heard the hall go silent for a moment. Soon after, Zhan Ying ran in.
"Master Yan, a noble lady wearing a veil came up to us and said she was looking for you. She has been taken to the private room."
"Find me?"
Leng Yan was surprised. She put down the peanuts in her hand and turned to look at the honey-glazed barbecued pork cooking in the small stove next to her.
"Yes, the lady is with her two children. The owner said she looked familiar. She is serving tea in the private room right now."
Zhan Ying said as she recalled.
"Okay, I'll go check it out."
Looking at the honey-glazed barbecued pork that was almost cooked, Leng Yan turned off the fire and followed them to the private room.
