Chapter 203: Coffee on Bird
"Liu Feng, I always couldn't see you some time ago. I don't care what you did, but you should stay honestly in the future. At least you should deal with the official business that you didn't handle some time ago! You must not go to the human world without authorization in the future. If I find you run to the human world next time, be careful that I will dismiss you." After saying that, the King of Hell turned to Liu Feng who was sitting beside him, and said.
Liu Feng is now wearing a set of official uniforms from the ghost world, holding a judge's pen in his hand. Of course, Liu Feng is not a judge, but he is an indispensable recorder in the ghost world. He is in charge of where the ghosts in the ghost world go to the world. The true face of the greedy ghost is actually like this. I really don't know if it is Peng Bai's blessing. At least Peng Bai will be reincarnated after he dies. How could Liu Feng arrange for Peng Bai to be the richest son of the world to let Peng Bai enjoy his life's glory and wealth.
Although the King of Hell did not punish the ghosts who had left their posts without permission, he issued an order that the ghosts in the ghost world must perform tasks in the future and cannot go to the human world without authorization, especially the ghosts' travel must be strictly controlled.
Under Zhu Wanqing's leadership, Mingyue and Mingjing truly integrated into the world for the first time. Except for the lust and precepts, all other precepts were almost broken. However, Mingyue and Mingjing also left. After all, they came out with a mission this time. Now that the mission has been completed, they should go back.
Peng Bai naturally would not go back with them. Peng Bai was not a real monk, so Peng Bai explained some things, such as telling his master, that is, Peng Bai's godfather Jie Qiu, he had the opportunity to go back to see him in the future, and asked Jie Qiu to save the package for him, Zhu Wanqing and Peng Bai sent the two onto the plane.
"What should we eat tonight?" Zhu Wanqing asked softly, holding Peng Bai's arm, holding her arms.
When Peng Bai thought of this problem, he felt that his head was soaring. The credit card that originally contained a huge sum of money was brushed by Peng Bai for only a few thousand yuan. Moreover, this kind of "public funds" can be used casually when it comes out, but Mingjing and Mingyue must also bring the remaining money back when they go back. It can be said that Peng Bai now has no savings except for three or five "big bills" on him.
People's livelihood issues like eating are the same for everyone. If Zhu Wanqing is not around, Peng Bai can just eat something casually. It will definitely be done for more than ten yuan. But now Zhu Wanqing is standing by her side. How could Peng Bai take such a daughter to eat on the street stall? But Peng Bai is an absolute machistic, don't misunderstand this "machisticism". Many women sneer at this, but is it wrong for men to pay for their careers to give women a stable life? It is precisely because of this "machisticism" that Peng Bai is worried about this supper, which is not a big deal.
Zhu Wanqing is very careful. Although she has little contact with Peng Bai, she knows Peng Bai’s thoughts very well.
"I want to have snacks, let's go to the snack street!" Zhu Wanqing said to Peng Bai with a smile.
"Okay." Peng Bai couldn't help but hugged Zhu Wanqing. As a beauty, what else would you dissatisfied with Peng Bai!
Snack Street is located next to Yongning Street. It is a street that is parallel to Yongning Street and the largest food street in the city. It has everything from simple fish balls to delicacies and seafood. In terms of price, it is also a raw material plus a handicraft fee, so it is absolutely not robbed people. Therefore, many people with medium or low living conditions often come here to improve their lives.
Zhu Wanqing held Peng Bai's arm tightly, as if she was afraid that Peng Bai would run away.
"Boss, come two servings of chowder noodles." Zhu Wanqing finally decided what to eat. A large bowl of chowder noodles costs only five yuan. It has sufficient ingredients, is chewy, has a strong soup flavor, is cheap, and can eat enough. It is the first choice for many people, so the business of this stall is also the best in the entire snack street.
"Okay! Please come here." A waiter took the words for the boss and greeted Peng Bai and Zhu Wanqing, the golden boy and jade girl, to sit down.
There are only four people in this stall selling chowder noodles. The boss makes noodles. The boss’s wife is responsible for cooking soup and adding ingredients to the noodles. One guy is responsible for serving the customers and the other guy is responsible for washing dishes.
Before Peng Bai's chowder noodles came up, two young men in front of a table next door patted the table and looked for something.
"Boss, your chowder noodles are so inauthentic! We eat Lao Wang chowder noodles on the streets much better than yours." A young man shouted.
Peng Bai smiled and looked at the two young people. He had seen too many such tricks before. As the saying goes, peers are enemies. In addition to advertising, they are also destroying other people's positions. These two young people are obviously the boss of Lao Wang's chowder noodles hired to find a problem and advertised to his own stall.
"That's..." Another young man said to the tune: "You said that the tendons of the radish in your chowder noodles are not cleaned, and they are stuffed with teeth when they taste. You are made of dough, right? The curry powder is not well prepared, and it will be dispersed in the soup. It is necessary to have curry flavor without curry flavor, and the fish balls taste without fish balls; and there is also this pig intestine, look! There is also a pig defecation inside! How do you sell such things?"
There are many people looking for trouble, but this young man is too ruthless. Who cares about whether the radish tendons are picked out here? Who cares about whether the curry fish balls have the flavor of curry and fish balls? Everyone eats cheaply and comfortable. But the young man finally said that the pig intestine has not been washed clean. What is that okay? All diners started to pick the pig intestine in the bowl, and the people who have already eaten the pig intestine felt a turbulent feeling in the stomach, and people with slightly less self-control vomited out directly.
"Nonsense, you two were sent by Lao Wang, you thought I didn't know! You can smuggle, but you have never seen you smuggle like this. What does it mean to have pig stool in the pig intestine? The pig intestine in my stall was washed inside and outside, and after flour and starched, it was absolutely clean. Even if you go to a big hotel to eat fried pig intestine, you don't wash it clean here. Boy, if you want to make trouble in front of me, Lao Zhang, you have to make some decent things. The pig intestine in your hand is completely raw. Humph! The pig intestine in my stall was cooked at home and brought it over. What's the raw?" The owner of the chowder noodle stall slapped the noodles and exposed the tricks of the two young people.
Seeing that the trick could not continue, the two young men cursed and left a ten-dollar bill and ran away in shame.
Even so, because of what these two young people said just now, many diners couldn't eat anymore and checked in and left. After all, the psychological effect was far more realistic than what they saw with their eyes.
"Xiaobai, let's go too!" Zhu Wanqing asked softly. Girls love cleanliness, and so does Zhu Wanqing.
"It doesn't matter, they are talking nonsense. Street stalls like this may not be as clean as those high-end hotels. Besides, the most important thing about street stalls is reputation. You can't do it without repeat customers, so it must be the same as the boss said, and ensure it is clean. If you don't want to eat, we will go and eat other things after I finish eating." Peng Bai said with a smile. He would not believe in pig defecation! It's a mess.
Soon, the chowder noodles of Peng Bai and Zhu Wanqing were served. Perhaps the boss saw that Peng Bai and Zhu Wanqing were taking care of his business, so he asked the boss's wife to add double ingredients to the chowder noodles for the two. The most important thing about the chowder noodles is the taste of chowder and noodle soup. No one has ever eaten the noodles! There is basically no big difference.
"The radish is just right and chewy. The beef tastes good and tastes smooth and refreshing. The large intestine of pig must be cooked in the soup of pepper, pepper, cinnamon and lotus seeds. The taste is really good. This soup, well! It must be a top-notch old hen soup. The soup has a strong flavor and the noodles are chewy enough. It's a good noodles!" Peng Bai praised loudly while eating. Peng Bai helped the boss to attract customers but had no money to get it. However, Peng Bai is a good person, and it is also very natural to help with this kind of small help. But the two young people were at least right. It was this curry fish ball, which was indeed a bit bad.
After hearing what Peng Bai said, Zhu Wanqing stopped thinking about the two young men just now. However, she carefully picked up the chopsticks and picked out the pig intestines from the chowder noodles, and then Peng Bai accepted them all.
"This guy is a person who knows what he knows about the game at first sight. I'll treat this meal." The boss shouted happily after hearing Peng Bai's words. His voice and Peng Bai's words just now made the onlookers who saw Peng Bai as a dough supporter, who was an advertisement for the noodle stall.
However, it was precisely because Peng Bai's evaluation offset the negative impact brought by the young men of the two brothers just now that the noodle stall business became much better.
After stretching out the noodles, Lao Zhang, the owner of the noodle stall, washed his hands and sat next to Peng Bai.
"What do you call this guy?" Lao Zhang asked with a smile.
"My name is Peng Bai. She is my girlfriend Zhu Wanqing. Just call me Xiao Peng." Peng Bai replied with a smile.
This is the first time that Zhu Wanqing has heard Peng Bai say that he is his girlfriend in front of an outsider. She is happy. The expression on her face makes Lao Zhang stunned. Such a beautiful woman is not something that can be seen on this street often.
"Xiao Peng, are you a chef?" Old Zhang recovered his mind after Peng Bai coughed lightly and asked a little embarrassedly. After all, staring at his girlfriend was very impolite.
"Haha! Yes." Peng Bai nodded, there was nothing to deny about this.
"I'll just say it! The person who can give such an evaluation and also tells the ingredients I used to cook pig intestine must be a chef. How about it, Xiao Peng, now we are the two of us, tell me the truth. There is still some lack in this area. Even though I, Lao Zhang, are not a chick." Lao Zhang said sincerely.
Old Zhang is over fifties this year, and his son looks about the same age as Peng Bai, so he can also shout this man.
Peng Bai nodded and said, "Uncle Zhang, your fish balls are so fake!"
After hearing Peng Bai's words, Lao Zhang smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that fake, but it's just flour balls. For small business like us, this bowl of noodles only makes less than two yuan. If we really use fish balls, we basically have no profit. If we deduct labor, stall fees, material costs, etc., it would be good to make two or three thousand a month. When the business is not good, we will lose money!"
Peng Bai nodded. Such things are everywhere in the world, and it is no longer a rare thing.
"If Uncle Zhang doesn't dislike you, I can teach you a way to turn fake fish balls into real fish balls." Peng Bai thought for a while and said to Lao Zhang.
"Really?" Old Zhang asked happily after hearing Peng Bai's words.
"Well! Of course, there is, next time Uncle Zhang, you should make dough, add three ounces of high-gluten flour, do not use water to knead noodles. You buy a few carp, remove the fish head and tail, then pick the thorns, wrap it in fine gauze and put it in a pot, add onion, ginger and garlic, and cook it. The first time it takes longer, which takes about ten hours. According to four fish, you can boil about ten pounds of fish soup. Then add a fish halfway through the soup and add a full soup. Use this fish soup and curry powder to knead the noodles. The fish balls made in this way have the flavor of fish and curry, and are more resistant to cooking." Peng Bai nodded and told the method of making the variant fish balls.
"Okay, I'll try it when I go back. You two will eat slowly. This meal is mine. From now on, you will be exempted from eating at my stall." Lao Zhang said happily after hearing Peng Bai's words.
When Peng Bai and Zhu Wanqing left, the guy who was in charge of cleaning up the dishes saw a ten-yuan bill pressing under the bowl.
"This little Peng is definitely not an ordinary person." Lao Zhang said in his heart when he took the money handed over by his friend that was not different from the other ten-yuan bills.
For Zhu Wanqing, there was too much chowder noodles in a bowl, not to mention that the one with double ingredients was eaten by Peng Bai. It happened that both of them were full and nothing was wasted.
Zhu Wanqing remembered the job assigned to her by her father in the morning. Zhu Wanqing didn’t know what kind of client he was, but Zhu Wanqing and Peng Bai still came to Shangniao Coffee on time on Dongpu Street.
Dongpu Street is a food and entertainment street second only to Yongning Street in scale and status. Shangniao Coffee is an international coffee chain. It mainly operates coffee and assists in operating some simple Western food such as steak. In terms of price, it is also considered high-end. A cup of ordinary Irish coffee is priced at 168 yuan. In Shangniao Coffee, there is no instant coffee, and the worst is the coffee made from hand-ground coffee bean powder.
The biggest selling point that Shangniao Coffee attracts customers is its interior decoration. There are more than 600 chain Shangniao Coffee in this world. The interior is decorated with a unified scale, a dim environment, and the isolation of tropical plants similar to the original forest, divide the entire store into multiple small private rooms, which is both mysterious and exciting.
Peng Bai and Zhu Wanqing had just entered Shangniao Coffee, and the protagonist tonight, that is, the client Zhu Wanqing ordered to meet to meet tonight, came up.
"Wanqing." Xuanyuan Cangjian greeted him with a smile.
Zhu Wanqing's face changed, and she knew that she had been fooled by her father again. The last time she had bet in the World League Buddhist Chef Competition, Zhu Wanqing's bet for victory was realized. Peng Bai is now by Zhu Wanqing's side, but Zhu Wanqing's father Zhu Ming and the bet lost were not realized. Zhu Wanqing still wants to meet Xuanyuan Cangjian. It seems that this is the fathers of the two parties have been connected with each other and strive to promote the marriage of the two. Whether from the years of interaction between the two families or from the groups they are now running, the union of the two must be only beneficial but no harm.
"Ah! It turns out it's Brother Xuanyuan. I thought I would never see Brother Xuanyuan in the future when we met last night. I didn't expect that this world is still too small. Only one day later, we will meet again." Peng Bai saw Zhu Wanqing's displeasure. Although Peng Bai was very happy with the attitude of underestimating the enemy, Peng Bai was a person who had been in society after all. He knew that he always had to save face when dealing with others, so he stepped forward and said before Zhu Wanqing said something that made Xuanyuan Cangjian lose face.
"Oh! So it's Brother Peng!" Xuanyuan Cangjian's eyes shrank when he saw Peng Bai, and he instantly returned to normal. He smiled and reached out and held Peng Bai's right hand together.
