Chapter 30: Everything is just a cloud in front of delicious food

While Xu An was gathering bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest, the third grandmother came with someone from outside the village. When she saw Xu An, she waved to him.

Following the third grandma was a girl who looked to be about the same age as herself.

On his feet stood a pair of heavy black rubber shoes. The shoes were covered with mud, and the color of the mud was still fresh.

The lower body is a pair of school uniform trousers, with the trousers tied into rubber shoes. The upper body is a very contemporary floral short-sleeved shirt.

Her hair was tied into two dark braids in front of her body, and her skin exposed outside her clothes was an uneven wheat color, and she looked very healthy.

He has a delicate appearance, a graceful manner, and a very approachable smile.

"Third Grandma." Xu An said hello to Grandma Xu and asked, "Are these relatives coming to play at home?"

The third grandma pushed the girl forward and said with a smile: "Anzi, this is the helper I found for you. Do you think it's suitable?"

Xu An thought about what kind of helper his third wife would find for him, whether tall, short, fat or thin.

But he really didn't expect that the third mistress would find a girl.

Since she is a helper, we must use the standards of a helper to analyze whether the girl is suitable for the job.

The mud on the rubber shoes hadn't even dried yet. He must have been brought over by the third grandma while she was still working in the fields. She was a diligent person.

The wheat color on the skin is not very uniform, with different shades and lighter colors. It looks like it shows up from the sun while working and is not my own skin color.

Looking at the girl's hands, the fingers are long and slender, but the joints are a bit thick, and there are many calluses in the palms. This cannot be faked.

In addition, the first impression was good, and Xu An was quite satisfied with this girl.

"Hello, my name is Xu An. I am currently in the box lunch business, which is a box lunch stall.

Work starts at five o'clock in the morning and ends at two o'clock in the afternoon. One lunch is included at noon. The probation period is twenty-five and one days, and the probation period is thirty-one days after.

Your main job is to help prepare vegetables and sell lunch boxes together.

Can you accept this?"

The girl must have heard the third grandmother talk about salary and work matters. After hearing Xu An's inquiry, the girl did not hesitate at all and said decisively: "Yes."

At 4:50 the next morning, the alarm clock rang on time. Xu An woke up on time and pressed the alarm clock in time before it sounded the second time.

As soon as he sat up, Xu An heard a knock on the door.

When I opened it, I saw that it was the girl recommended by my third grandmother yesterday. Today was her first day at work.

The girl was standing outside the gate of the courtyard pushing a large 28-inch bar. She was wearing a straw hat. There was a lot of dew on the straw hat. She must have been waiting outside the gate for a long time.

The girl pushed the big bar into the yard, parked it against the wall, turned to look at Xu An and asked, "What should I do now?"

Xu An took out two large bags of tenderloins from the kitchen freezer and placed them next to the well.

"The main dish of today's lunch box is sweet and sour pork. Please clean the meat and cut it into pieces for me to marinate."

"Okay."

The girl quickly poured the meat into the plastic basin, grabbed the pressure rod on the well head and pressed down hard, and the well water splashed on the meat.

After cleaning all the hair, broken bones and other debris attached to the meat, clean it again with well water, then take the meat out and put it into a clean basin.

She took out the chopping board and was about to cut the meat when the girl suddenly stopped.

'What kind of dish is sweet and sour pork? What does it look like? How should I cut it? Cut it into strips, pieces or pieces?'

What Xu An saw when he came back from washing was a bright light illuminating an open space in front of the yard.

A girl with pigtails held up a kitchen knife and looked thoughtfully at the tenderloin on the chopping board, but she hesitated to cut it.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with the meat?"

"Boss, I've never seen sweet and sour pork before. I don't know how to cut this meat." The girl raised her head, held up the knife, and said seriously.

The two stared at each other for three seconds. Xu An took the kitchen knife handed over by the girl and cut two strips of meat about ten centimeters long and one centimeter thick.

"Just this length and size is fine."

The girl took the kitchen knife and cut out strips of meat of about the same thickness with some unfamiliarity but firmness.

Xu An looked at it for a while and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. He went back to the kitchen freezer and took out two pots of old tofu soaked in water.

There was movement at the courtyard door again. I turned around and saw that it was Xu Heping who pushed open the door and came in.

As he walked, he yawned and rubbed his face with his hands: "Anzi, what are you going to cook today?"

After he finished speaking, Xu Heping realized that the person cutting the meat was not Xu An, but a strange girl.

"Hello, my name is Liang Dani. I am a helper just hired by the boss. Today is the first day of trial work." Liang Dani looked at Xu Heping, who was obviously a little confused about the current situation, and spoke first.

"Hello, hello, your name is a bit retro, hahahaha." Xu Heping, whose brain suddenly short-circuited, directly expressed his inner complaints.

Liang Dani must have encountered many similar situations, so she just smiled, picked up the kitchen knife and continued to process the tenderloin on the chopping board.

Xu Heping hurriedly walked into the kitchen, put his arm around Xu An's shoulders and whispered, "You are fast enough. We just said yesterday that we would increase our manpower, and today we have people coming to work.

Why didn't you tell me in advance? I was shocked when I just came in."

"Why didn't I tell you what you were doing yesterday?" Xu An shrugged and shook off Xu Heping's hand on his shoulder.

After deciding to help workers choose last night, Xu An wanted to tell Xu Heping.

As a result, General Tie still locked the door of Xu Heping's home, and there was no sign of him in the big banyan tree at the head of the village or in the pond behind the village.

"Hey." Xu Heping knew that he was in the wrong and stopped making excuses. After washing his hands, he and Xu An were busy working together.

What Xu An is going to make now is fried tofu balls.

Crush all the old tofu, add chopped carrots, ham, chopped green onions and appropriate seasonings, and mix them evenly.

Use the squeezing of the index finger, thumb and tiger's mouth to form round balls.

Pour half a bucket of soybean oil into the iron pot, heat the oil until it is 70% hot, deep-fry the meatballs until golden and take them out.

The fried tofu balls are finished.

The tenderloin that Liang Dani was asked to handle has also been marinated. Place the marinated and starched tenderloin on the edge of the stove.

Heat the oil pan to 60% heat again, pour the tenderloin into the pan and fry over low heat until golden brown, remove and set aside.

Leave an appropriate amount of oil at the bottom of the pot, add sugar, tomato sauce, white vinegar and water to boil until thick and foamy, and the tenderloin sauce is ready.

Pour the freshly fried tenderloin back into the pot again and stir-fry evenly to ensure that every tenderloin is coated with sauce.

After putting it in the pot, sprinkle a handful of white sesame seeds on top of the tenderloin, and the sweet and sour tenderloin is completed.

Next is the spicy stir-fried dried radish. The soaked dried radish is diced and stir-fried with onions, garlic, green chilies, etc. to create a salty aroma, and it's complete.

The last one is rice, which usually requires two pots to cook in a small pot.

Now I have changed to a large iron pot, and one pot is equivalent to the previous two pots. However, due to the huge increase in the size of the lunch box, I still need to cook two full pots.

While cooking, Xu An and the other three began to pack the cooked vegetables into boxes.

At 9:30 in the morning, after all the rice was packed into boxes, Xu An opened the table, took out the bowls and chopsticks and shouted to everyone: "dinner is ready!"

In order not to be late this morning, Liang Dani got up at 4:30 and rode over directly without eating breakfast.

When I got here, I worked busy for four and a half hours. Although it wasn't a heavy job, it was still quite exhausting.

Coupled with the fact that she was constantly attacked by the aroma coming from the kitchen while working, Liang Dani was so hungry that her chest pressed against her back, and she felt like she would starve to death on the street in the next second.

At this time, I finally heard Xu An's shout of "dinner", and without any hesitation, he picked up an ancient style wide-mouthed bowl with a rooster print.

Thinking that it was not good to eat too much on her first day at work, Liang Dani packed the rice.

Normally, this bowl would be filled with about seven or eight taels of rice, but the bowl of rice in Liang Dani's hand weighed one kilogram, two or three taels.

Before eating, she wanted to be more reserved, but with a mouthful of tenderloin, Liang Dani's rationality disappeared.

With the three dishes on the table, I ate two full bowls of pressed rice, and finally a large bowl of Huaishan bone soup.

After having enough soup and rice, Liang Dani slumped on the chair with satisfaction.

This meal was really enjoyable!

Taking this job was the wisest choice in her life!

Why do you wake up at 4:30, why do you only have a daily salary of 30 yuan, and when you look at delicious food, it’s all just a cloud!
