Chapter 110: Brother Teng, can I try some first?

  Li Xiaoteng was pinched on the ear by his mother and struggled painfully for a while. Then, Li's mother laughed and said: "Such a big thing as buying a house, you didn't even go with him!" While saying this, she also turned to Li's father and said: "Old Li! You say something too!"

  Watching Li Dad, nose observing mouth, mouth concerning heart. Two eyes staring at the few remaining millet porridge in his own bowl. Like an old monk entering meditation, not speaking a word.

  Mrs. Li suddenly became angry and said: "What are you pretending to be a Shaolin monk with me? You two go together to buy a house!"

  Mr. Li looked at Xiaoteng helplessly and said, "Son, just accompany your mom to take a look! Otherwise, your mom really can't make up her mind to buy it! Usually buying a down jacket requires visiting four or five shopping malls, and it's not even guaranteed that she'll come back with one! Now buying a house is even more impossible!"

  Li Xiaoteng said helplessly: "Dad, I really have something to do!" Li Dad said somewhat unhappily: "How can you talk to me like that, don't you understand?" As soon as Li Dad's words fell, Li Xiaoteng's phone suddenly rang!

  "Mom, mom! Let go, I'll answer the phone first..."

  "Mom Li reluctantly let go of Li Xiaoteng, and said unwillingly: "What's the matter with you? You have to come with me to see the house! And didn't you say you wouldn't set up your stall until night? Don't run around randomly during the day!"

  Li Xiaoteng hastily nodded to his mother and answered the phone, which was a call from Jiang Di. He calmed down and asked: "What's wrong, is there a problem with the goods?"

  Jiang Di said, "The goods are fine, they've all been received. Brother Da is bringing the cold dish chef we talked about yesterday! He's waiting for you to try the dishes! Teng Ge, how long will it take you to get here?"

  Li Xiaoteng's spirits lifted as soon as he heard the news. "You help me take care of things first, I'll be right there!" He hung up the phone and said to his mother, "Mom! The house buyer can't run away now, you go with Dad to take a look first. I'll finish my business and join you later!"

  "Mom, I hired a chef to make cold dishes today and he's coming this afternoon. I want to try his skills!"

  "Really? If it doesn't work out, Mom and Dad will go with you, we'll help you take care of things. After that's done, we can all go look at houses together!"

  Li Xiaoteng listened and thought it was okay. He hurriedly said, "Then let's hurry up, they're waiting for us!" Li's mom immediately said to Li's dad, "Old Li, hurry up and eat, we can leave after you finish eating!"

  Li's father picked up his bowl and slurped down the porridge in two mouthfuls. He wiped his mouth and said hastily, "I've finished! Let's go!" Li's mother said unhappily, "Letting you eat doesn't mean you should be so greedy. It's not good for your stomach!"

  Li Xiaoteng had already put on his shoes, grabbed the keys and wallet, and stood at the door. He looked at his parents and shook his head helplessly.

  "I want a life that blooms like standing at the peak of a rainbow, with power beyond the ordinary..." Li Xiaoteng walked and sang along, holding his old mom's hand, walking beside his dad. Unspeakable happiness.

  Mr. Li looked at his son and said with a smile: "Alright, stop yelling. Don't you see the little girl opposite is staring at you? If you scare her away later..."

  "Mom Li said unhappily: "What are you two talking about?! You're chattering nonsense all day long..."?"

  Jiang Di was smoking at the entrance of Dongxing Restaurant. He saw Li Xiaoteng and a man and woman walking over. Without thinking, he knew it must be Li Xiaoteng's father and mother. They looked so alike, they were obviously a family!

  Jiang Di and others followed Li Xiaoteng in, hastily taking a few quick steps. Rushing to shout at Li Xiaoteng's parents: "Uncle, Auntie! Hello!" Li Xiaoteng hastily introduced: "Dad, Mom! This is Jiang Di, who does business with me!"

  Mr. Li and Mrs. Li hurriedly greeted Jiang Di warmly with a few words. Jiang Di pulled Mr. and Mrs. Li to the East Prosperity Restaurant, found a seat, and then called out to Li Xiaoteng: "Brother Teng, Sun Daben is in the kitchen! The goods have been collected, nothing's wrong, I'll be off!"

  Li Xiaoteng nodded and said with a smile: "You've been working hard all morning, go back and take a nap!" Jiang Di hastily shook his head and said: "No way! I still have to keep an eye on the stock market and watch the board!" Li Xiaoteng curled his lips and said: "It's a big weekend today, who cares about stocks? The market isn't even open today!"

  "Whoa, it's already the weekend? I had no idea! Forget about going back for now. Let me hang out with you and check out this overhyped Sun Da Neng. What can we whip up for some cold dishes?"

  Li Xiaoteng nodded and said, "Let's go take a look." After finishing speaking, he rushed to his parents and said, "Dad, Mom, we're going to the kitchen to cook. You sit down for a while. We'll bring it out when it's done. Let you try some later!"

  "Alright! You hurry up and go. I'll definitely take care of things for you later!"

  Li Xiaoteng and Jiang Di had just walked into the kitchen when they saw Sun Dabao standing beside the chopping board, watching as the Xiang brothers were cutting up mutton.

  Only Jiang Di rushed to Old Dai and said: "Old Brother, Teng Ge is here!" The two brothers of the Xiang family immediately put down their knives. Old Dai rushed to Li Xiao Teng with a smile and said: "Li Boss, this is my friend Sun Da Neng!"

  Sun Daren hastily nodded towards Li Xiaoteng and said: "I've long heard that the young boss of Dongxing Restaurant is talented, and his spicy hot pot is renowned as the best in the world. I didn't expect Boss Li to be so young. Truly a talented youth!"

  Li Xiaoteng smiled and said: "Where! Brother Sun, you're too polite! As long as you don't think the thunder is too loud, it's fine."

  Li Xiaoteng's humorous and funny words instantly brought the relationship between several people closer. He then said to Lao Er, "Xiao Teng boss, our Sun Dabao brother is great at making cold dishes! Don't believe me? Let him make two dishes for you to try!"

  Sun Daren hastily said: "Boss Xiao Teng, do you want me to try out the dishes I made or would you like to give me a topic?"

  Li Xiaoteng nodded at Sun Dabing and turned to Jiang Di, saying: "What do you want to eat? You say one!" Jiang Di said helplessly: "Teng brother, I usually don't go to restaurants. It's hard for me to make a choice! You think about it yourself!"

  Li Xiaoteng suddenly thought that his old man particularly loved to eat bok choy. He immediately said: "How about this? You use baby bok choy as the main ingredient and make a cold dish. Then, using our barbecue ingredients, make another cold dish. Go take a look in the cold dish room and see what's available. Just whip up two dishes!"

  Li Xiaoteng said casually, but the topic is not simple. First, a main ingredient for a vegetarian dish was specified. Then there was another optional non-vegetarian dish, and the raw materials were also limited to those used for skewers. Mutton, pork ribs, etc. are definitely not allowed. The range of options is very limited. The remaining dishes can be chosen by yourself.

  A seemingly casual sentence, yet with many profound implications. Sun Daben suddenly became more serious.

  Sun Dabao nodded with relish. He immediately grabbed an apron from the shelf and tied it around his waist. With a casual hand, he picked up two small basins from the shelves and walked to the side of the Xiang family brothers, then began to rummage through a pile of things.

  Li Xiaoteng saw Sun Dabao pick up the lamb kidney and take a look, put it down and then picked up the chicken heart to take a look. Shaking his head, he put it down again, and finally chose the chicken liver and chicken gizzards. He turned around and walked to the stove, lit the fire and put a pot of water on...

  Xiang brothers were cutting the mutton in their hands, smiling at Sun Dabao. Jiang Di looked at Sun Dabao with suspicion and asked inexplicably: "Teng Ge, what does Sun Dabao want to do with Jizhongbao?"

  Li Xiaoteng said in a low voice, "I guess it's going to be a cold dish! I don't think chicken giblets are easy to flavor if they're cold. If I were handling them, I would definitely use the old broth from braised beef or the sauce from braised pork intestines and simmer the chicken giblets in it before mixing."

  As soon as Li Xiaoteng finished speaking, Sun Dabao rushed to Li Xiaoteng and shouted: "Boss Xiaoteng, do we have braised water or soy sauce soup?"

  Jiang Di looked at Li Xiaoteng in surprise and shrugged his shoulders. "Teng, does this kid have a good ear for the wind?"

  Li Xiaoteng smiled and said: "The braised water is in the cold dish room. The sauce soup is in the large bucket on the south side of the stove!"

  Only to see Sun Dabao walk into the big soup pot, scoop out a large spoonful of sauce soup. Immediately walked to the edge of the pot. The chicken gizzards were poured into boiling water and cooked for a while. Rolled two open. Sifted out, immediately followed by pouring the chicken middle treasure in.

  Li Xiaoteng walked to the stove, only to see that the chicken had slightly changed color. It was immediately scooped out by Sun Dabing. Sun Dabing lifted his hand and poured all the water in the pot away, then brushed the pot clean and poured all the sauce into it. After bringing it to a boil, he put the chicken back in.

  It was just a couple of rolls, and Li Xiaoteng had just thought that it was time to get out of the pot! Sun Dabing lifted his hand and scooped out the chicken treasure. Li Xiaoteng nodded secretly, feeling that the technique was quite good.

  Sun Dabao put away the stove. He then took the chicken giblets and pheasant meat in his hands and walked towards the cold dish room.

  Li Xiaoteng and Jiang Di also walked into the cold dish room, where they saw Sun Dabao rinse the chicken gizzards with ice water. He then sliced them into thin pieces. Li Xiaoteng chuckled and said: "Brother Sun is treating the chicken gizzards like goose liver! What flavor are you planning to make?"

  Sun Daren hastily said: "I was thinking of doing a spicy mouth, but I heard that you are the best at making spicy flavor. I really don't want to make a fool of myself! I'll do a salty fresh flavor instead, to avoid your sharp edge..."

  Li Xiaoteng laughed and said: "Nonsense! Brother Sun is really fond of joking!"

  Sun Daren spoke while finding a package of pickled mustard greens, putting the pickled mustard greens into a small basin to rinse. Then he cut them into small pieces and put them into the small basin. He also grabbed a handful of chopped scallions and red chili threads. Sun Daren used his knife to finely chop the scallions and red pepper threads into small particles.

  Only then did he put down the knife and put the chicken liver slices into the bowl. He added some salt, chicken essence, poured a small amount of raw soy sauce, and dotted a few drops of fragrant oil.

  Sun Dabao was intently staring at the ingredients in his hand. He quickly stirred the mixture in the bowl with chopsticks for a while. Feeling that the flavor was evenly distributed, he then picked up the chopped scallions and red pepper grains that had been cut earlier. Sprinkled them on the dish, stirring a few times. Suddenly, the red and green colors alternated. Only then did he carefully arrange it onto the cold dish plate.

  Jiang Di blinked his eyes and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He said to Li Xiaoteng, "Teng Ge, can I try some first?"

  PS: LSL Bookworm called Zhao Xun, and as soon as Zhao Xun picked up the phone, he heard LSL Bookworm ask: Beauty, I have an account opened at Guo*xin in Beijing, but now I want to transfer it to my home. However, the staff of Guo*xin told me that I need to go to Beijing in person to handle it. I'm not convenient to go there right now. What should I do? I heard that if you don't trade for three years, it will become a dormant account. Can I open one there too?

  Zhao Xun sighed and said: The handling fee in Beijing is generally lower, if you want to transfer it back home, the handling fee will be even more expensive! Think about it carefully. If you want to transfer, first open a Shenzhen account on your family's side, that can be opened for multiple households. For the dormant account, don't keep more than 1,000 yuan in cash in your account. In three years, according to regulations, it should be cleared and reported to China Settlements. However, some brokerages are quite stubborn and won't report it even if it's dormant, but still require you to stay with their brokerage. This requires you to communicate with them!

  The bookworm nodded as if he understood but didn't really understand and said thank you before hanging up the phone.

  Cruising is great, today I voted for another monthly vote. Our book has made further progress. Li Da, I think it's a great addition to the facade! Thank you! At the same time, thank you Xiaohong for your reward.
