Chapter 325 325, Premeditated

Courtyard No. 15, Shoubi Hutong, kitchen

Sun Hao, who is wearing an apron around his waist, is cooking. As soon as this guy gets home, he starts to get busy!

Wash the pork belly, put it in a pot with cold water, add cooking wine, ginger, aniseed, bring to a boil over high heat, and continue to cook...

Next to him, there was a tall middle-aged man doing the trick.

Hmm..., rather than saying that he was attacking, it would be better to say that he was peeling garlic. However, the way middle-aged people peel garlic is different from others.

I saw him take the garlic, first break it into pieces one by one, then put it in a bowl and rinse it with water. After it was rinsed, he put it on the chopping board and patted it with a knife... and finally picked up the garlic skin!

"Sun Hao, have you seen it?

My method of peeling garlic was learned from fellow villagers in northern Shaanxi. It is simple, quick and hygienic. "

"Okay!"

Sun Hao took one look and replied casually.

"Why, do you have a faster way?" The middle-aged man was interested.

"have!"

Sun Hao poked the pork belly in the pot with chopsticks. When he saw that it was ready, he turned off the heat, took it out of the pot, and then cut the meat while saying:

“When I was a child, there was a lot of work in the village, and there were often forty or fifty tables at a time, but there were only two cooks.

They had no choice but to make it easier, wash the garlic, and mash it directly in a garlic mortar without breaking the cloves. When the garlic is minced, pour it into a sieve and sift it. What comes out of the sieve is the minced garlic, and What remains in the sieve is the garlic skin. "

"Haha..." The middle-aged man laughed.

"It's indeed trouble-free, but we are the only ones eating today, so we don't seem to need so much minced garlic, right?"

"Um…"

Sun Hao nodded.

"Leader, what I introduced is just a method."

Although they were chatting, Sun Hao's work was not slow at all. He cut the pork belly, cut the sauerkraut, and soaked the vermicelli. Then he took the pot, added oil, added Sichuan peppercorns, aniseed, red pepper and cooked until fragrant. …

"Sun Hao..."

"Um?"

"Do you know why I like to eat pickled cabbage stewed with pork belly?" The middle-aged man took two steps back, picked up a teapot from the table next to him, poured two cups of tea, placed one cup in Sun Hao's hand, and picked up a cup himself. .

"Um…"

Sun Hao thought slightly.

"I think maybe it has something to do with that special time back then?"

"good!"

He found a chair next to the dining table and sat down. The middle-aged man held a teacup in his hand and recalled the past.

"Sun Hao, at that time, it was hard and there was basically nothing to eat, let alone pork.

The only luxury is the sauerkraut that fellow villagers in northern Shaanxi pickle themselves at home. Because there is not much of it, they can’t eat it in the morning or at night. They can only stew it and eat it when they come back from work at noon.

At that time, I thought, it would be great if I could eat stewed sauerkraut every time. Of course, it would be best to add some pork belly to the sauerkraut, haha..."

The middle-aged man was smiling, but Sun Hao looked serious. He could especially understand middle-aged people.

This is an obsession!

Just like in the previous life, when I was a child, I never wore new shoes or new clothes. I just picked up the leftovers from my brother.

And when I grow up and earn money, I will go out to buy clothes and shoes whenever I have time...

Even if you can't wear it, just put it in the shoe cabinet and wardrobe.

It didn't take long, in about half an hour, Sun Hao finished all four dishes and one stew.

Lotus root slices mixed with garlic, scrambled eggs with vermicelli skin, stir-fried shredded pork with garlic moss, stir-fried lamb blood with leeks, plus a pot of stewed vermicelli with pickled cabbage and pork belly ordered by the middle-aged man himself.

"Leader, do you want beer or white?"

After putting the dishes on the dining table, Sun Hao went to the storage room next to the kitchen to get wine. But before he could go over, the middle-aged man took out two bottles of Maotai from his bag on the ground.

"Sun Hao, this is my first time as a guest at your home, so naturally I have to bring some gifts, so you should drink from me, right?"

"good!"

Sun Hao was not polite. He took two bottles of wine from the middle-aged man, put down one bottle, and opened the cap of the other bottle.

"Leader, how much can you drink?"

“Half a pound!

The main purpose of coming to your place today is to recognize you and chat with you. We won’t drink too much. "

"OK."

Sun Hao agreed and took two glasses from the cabinet to share the wine. Each glass contained exactly half a catty of wine, and a bottle of white wine was poured down, which was just right.

"Sun Hao, come on, have a taste..."

As soon as Sun Hao brought the portioned liquor to the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man turned his back on the guests, picked up the chopsticks from the table, and then moved on to the pot of sauerkraut, pork and vermicelli stew in the middle.

Picking up a piece of pork belly and looking at the light in the kitchen, the middle-aged man said, "Good knife skills," then put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

"Well, it tastes amazing. It tastes like mine back then."

"Ha ha…"

At this time, Sun Hao was happy.

"Leader, during the National Day last year, I sent my classmates to Zhongwei, Ning Province to experience life. I stayed one night in Shangtan Village, and I learned how to make this dish from the folks there."

"No wonder, no wonder, it seems to be only more than 300 kilometers away from the place where I went to the countryside." The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed while raising his wine glass.

"Sun Hao, come on, let's go!"

Upon hearing the greeting, Sun Hao immediately held the cup with both hands, placed the cup very low, touched it with the middle-aged man, and immediately drained 1/3 of the wine in the cup, and then said:

"Leader, I'll go deeper, you can do whatever you want!"

"okay!"

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, raised his head, and immediately matched Sun Hao's drinking amount.

"Sun Hao..."

Putting down the wine glass, the middle-aged man wiped his mouth with a napkin, then picked up chopsticks and chatted with Sun Hao while eating.

"Some time ago, I went back to Pengcheng to visit the old man, and suddenly heard something. It seems that you invested in an instant messaging software called Qiuqiu in Pengcheng, right?"

"That's right!"

"Are you so optimistic about its market prospects? I heard that you invested several million US dollars at once."

Facing the middle-aged man's doubts, Sun Hao put down his chopsticks, took out his mobile phone, and put it on the dining table.

"Leader, is the mobile phone bill expensive now?"

"Of course it is expensive, and it is charged in both directions!" The middle-aged man also stopped eating.

"If in a few years, this instant messaging software can realize all the functions of mobile phone calls, and it doesn't cost a penny of phone bills, do you think it has a big market prospect?"

"Yes, of course!

But ordinary people can't carry a laptop wherever they go just for this instant messaging software..."

But just when the conversation got to this point, the middle-aged man immediately realized, "I remembered that in your science fiction movie "Source Code", there was such a scene, that is, passengers in the train compartment were using mobile phones to surf the Internet, a mobile phone that looked very small."

"Yes!" Sun Hao smiled while touching his nose.

"Leader, I just think that society will definitely develop in that direction. If computers can transition from desktops to laptops, then they can also transition from laptops to mobile phones.

In a few years, perhaps just like in the movie, only a mobile phone can complete all the work that should be done on a computer."

"Hmm..." The middle-aged man nodded thoughtfully, but in less than three minutes, he had a new question.

"Then..., Sun Hao, what do you think about focusing investment in supporting the mobile communications industry in Fujian Province in the future?"

"Okay!"

But as soon as the word "Okay" came out, Sun Hao felt something was wrong. Today, this boss took the initiative to find him, as if it was premeditated!
