Chapter 228: The Grocery Shopping Girl in Combat Mode
3pm.
After taking a short rest in the store, Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen bought several bags of food from the farmers' market and put them back on the tricycle.
Although the meat and vegetables are not as fresh as in the morning, hotpot is greasy and spicy, so it doesn't make much difference if you eat it half a day later.
"Let's go. We haven't bought the vegetables yet. Look over there!" After putting the ingredients away, Zhao Xiaojing pulled Su Yuchen towards the vegetable stall.
Su Yuchen turned his head and looked at Zhao Xiaojing carefully with a speechless look. Since entering the vegetable market today, she seemed to have transformed into a grocery shopping girl in combat mode, and she wanted to buy all the vegetables.
"Mirror, is this our last meal? We won't be able to eat anymore in the future?" Su Yuchen teased as she looked at Zhao Xiaojing's enthusiasm.
"What are you talking about?" Zhao Xiaojing pushed Su Yuchen with a smile, and walked to the vegetable stand where she often bought vegetables. "Boss Huang, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, Chinese cabbage, chrysanthemum, lotus root, yam, radish, spinach, lettuce, potato, corn, and these mushrooms, give me a little bit of each, about one pound of each. Hey, you have rice cakes? Give me some too! One bag will do."
"Okay!" Zhao Xiaojing ordered almost all the dishes on the stall. After listening to her, the stall owner stood up quickly and packed up the dishes one by one.
"Wait here, I'll go to the tofu stand next door." Zhao Xiaojing patted Su Yuchen, turned around and rushed to the next door, looked around and continued to point out the situation. "Boss Li, give me one portion of each of these tofu, bean curd rolls, bean skin, etc., and also put the kelp and bean sprouts on. Um...except for your jelly, give me one portion of the others!"
Su Yuchen turned his head and stared at Zhao Xiaojing, feeling numb again. At a glance, there were more than a dozen varieties of tofu on the stall. The way Zhao Xiaojing bought vegetables didn't look like she was buying food for eight people, and eight pigs might not be able to finish it.
Since arriving at the vegetable market today, Zhao Xiaojing's painting style has started to go crazy.
At the beginning, they were in a supermarket for pre-prepared hot pot meals. The two wanted to buy meat rolls. Su Yuchen also took one kind, and there were about a dozen boxes. As a result, Zhao Xiaojing took them one by one to look at the ingredient list, muttering "synthetic, synthetic, this one too, this one is the same, this one is okay, this one is not okay, this one is not wanted", while putting the meat rolls in the cart back one by one. The meat rolls on the last row of shelves were picked and chosen, and only two kinds were left in the cart. Zhao Xiaojing took three boxes of each kind.
Su Yuchen was still wondering if he had taken too little, as it was not enough for eight people, but Zhao Xiaojing pushed the cart forward and loaded it with processed tripe, duck throat, duck blood, duck intestines, luncheon meat, air-dried intestines, corn intestines...
Zhao Xiaojing also packed three boxes of each kind, and finally pushed the full cart of ingredients to the base material area in the front. She looked at the hot pot base and picked up ten pieces.
Su Yuchen was dumbfounded at the time, and asked her why she needed to put so much in one meal, two pieces at most would be enough. As a result, Zhao Xiaojing smiled mysteriously.
"Every day at noon, the food gets cold halfway through eating, so it's just right to cook a hot pot. If that doesn't work, you can also make a spicy hot pot."
Su Yuchen agreed and followed her. She picked out several bottles of sesame sauce, cooking oil, mushroom sauce, beef sauce, scallop sauce, and spicy sauce...
After loading the food into the car with great effort, Su Yuchen thought that she had already bought all the meat, but Zhao Xiaojing took her to the beef and mutton stall...
After a while, the two came out of a meat stall on the street, their hands full of various parts of beef and mutton, chicken gizzards, duck blood, basa fish, pig intestines, chicken feet, quail eggs...
"Let's go to the dry goods store!" After buying the soy products, Zhao Xiaojing's eyes lit up again.
Su Yuchen was stunned. He looked at the plastic bags in the hands of the two men, and then looked at Zhao Xiaojing who looked excited. "Mirror, what did you do behind my back today? When did you go crazy?"
"Just buy a few bags of Gongcai, don't you like it?" Zhao Xiaojing smiled at Su Yuchen, who looked stunned. She took the full plastic bag in her right hand with her left hand and pushed Su Yuchen with one hand. "Just buy Gongcai, and come back after buying it!"
Su Yuchen had no choice but to follow, with a smile on his face that made him feel a little touched but didn't know what to say.
It was nearly four o'clock when they returned to the restaurant. The foursome had not gone home yet and had already packed up all the prepared dishes. Geng Mingyan and Hou Guihua had also finished cleaning up the dumpling restaurant next door and had just washed their hands before coming over to help.
"Xiao Zhao and Xiao Su, let's go! Let's see the results of my and Lao Geng's hard work!" When Hou Guihua saw the two coming back, she happily supported Zhao Xiaojing who had just got off the car.
"Xiao Wu, Mosquito! Get the things from the car!" Su Yuchen shouted and the two of them followed Hou Guihua to the dumpling restaurant in front in two or three steps.
Even though she had already had a quick look at it in the morning, Zhao Xiaojing was still dazzled when she entered the room.
The entire restaurant of the former dumpling house is refreshed.
Somehow, the tile floor was mopped so that all the dirt that was originally stuck to the ground disappeared, and there was even some sparkling reflection; the tiny cobwebs on the ceiling were also cleared away, and the replaced lights were now emitting bright light, illuminating the entire hall.
The kitchen in the window was also cleaned up. The two constant temperature fryers were washed clean and placed on the workbench. The frying tools, seasoning plates and lunch boxes next to them were neatly arranged and all cleaned carefully. The original countertops in the kitchen were also carefully patched, and a new chopping board was placed next to the moved marinade pot. The traffic flow was arranged strictly according to her instructions. The window that she did not instruct was also wiped clean.
Except for the sign which is still being made, everything is ready and can be used directly here tonight.
"Sister Hou, you two are so active! Your efficiency is so high. The whole restaurant is much cleaner!" Su Yuchen praised.
"Well, it's nothing more than watching the workers install and clean up after they're done. There's no work at all!" Hou Guihua was relieved to see that the two were satisfied, and smiled comfortably.
"Sister Hou and Sister Geng, please eat more tonight. We will have a dinner together today and have hotpot tonight!" Everything was said without words. Zhao Xiaojing turned her head and said to Hou Guihua.
When they talked about hotpot at noon, the two elder sisters were not there. Ouyang Yidan came over and asked them what they wanted to eat. They didn't order any dishes and said they just wanted to eat something casually and not waste money.
Although Hou Guihua said that she did not work, the two of them have been busy since taking over the store yesterday.
Before mealtime, the two of them were busy in the dumpling restaurant. When mealtime came, they came over to help with the rice. After meal, they sat for a while and continued to work in the dumpling restaurant. They worked non-stop and took care of all the worries that Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen, the bosses, should have. In the end, they were busier than both Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen.
"Well, I just need to eat something casually. It doesn't matter what I eat! You young people should eat more." Hou Guihua waved her hands in a naive manner.
