Chapter 272 Banquet
This junior fellow's cooking skills are not weak. His cooking skills are rated at LV4 by Ren Lian Lingyi. In terms of rating, it is about the level of an eighth-level cook.
A little worse than the seventh-level cook in front of him, but not that bad.
"By the way, your junior brother looks unfamiliar. I wonder where he is from." Wang Dongyao asked curiously .
"I just graduated and I'm looking for a job." Nan Nan said, "Like me, my background is not very good, so it's naturally difficult to find a job."
"I am lucky. My father introduced me to work as a cook in a textile factory. However, my father has used up all his favors in the past few years, so he can't make any arrangements for my junior brother. I can only let him go out and try on his own."
"Speaking of which, my junior fellow apprentice is very ambitious. Although the big restaurants look down on him, he also looks down on the small restaurants. He is holding back his anger and is preparing to become a chef in a big factory."
"Nan Yi, say hello to your youngest brother." Nan Nan greeted his junior fellow apprentice. Judging from their surnames, these two are related.
"Hello, brother." The junior brother greeted Wang Dongyao enthusiastically.
"Well, hello to you too. Let's keep in touch if you have any business in the future." Wang Dongyao said politely.
"Brother, where did you get these wild boars? They look really good." Nan Nan asked, "What are you going to do with all the remaining ones?"
Although there were a lot of meat dishes at today's wedding banquet, the pig Wang Dongyao hunted was a nearly 300-pound king pig. Even after the bones and offal were removed, the pure meat still weighed more than 200 pounds.
Naturally, such a small number of guests could not eat so much. Even if the food from the kitchen was included, only half of the meat was taken.
"Take the offal and the pig's head, and braise the rest for me. The ingredients are in the kitchen grid. When we're done eating, you can braise them. I have to follow Aying to see someone off."
By this time the meal was almost ready, so everyone who had been helping out was invited to come to the table and eat.
After the meal, the people who helped dispersed, and before leaving, they returned the tables, chairs and other items to the neighbors.
Lei Diandian began to send his younger brothers home one by one.
Of course, I don’t have to send them home personally, but I just have to watch them get home.
Although most of them were drunk, they walked in groups of three or four.
Those who looked sober were allowed to go first, while those who looked dizzy were sent to the vicinity of their workplace by Lei Dianying and Wang Dongyao.
In fact, there are quite a few drunkards like this today .
Wang Dongyao and his companions encountered two or three waves on the way to send people off.
After an afternoon, all the people were finally brought back safely.
As for those in the inner room, there is no need to worry about them. Many of them are accompanied by secretaries and guards, and some even drive cars.
Just because they were drunk doesn't mean these people were also drunk. These people were sober. But they were also pitiful. The leaders were eating meat and drinking wine inside, while they were outside and only ate a few wedding candies and took a few steamed buns at most. Even for this, they were already very grateful.
After all, these days, most families can’t even afford to eat enough steamed bread.
Although they follow the leader, most of them come from ordinary families and naturally have a better understanding of the situation.
They haven't eaten pure white flour buns for a long time.
Well~ to be honest, for this wedding banquet, Wang Dongyao's family spent a lot of money, not to mention the four-in-one project, which had already been prepared.
Just talking about the flour for making steamed buns, I don’t know how many favors I had to get from the neighbors.
After all, food is rationed these days, and the amount of fine grains is limited. It would be better if neighbors help each other. As far as Wang Dongyao can remember, his family had also lent out their share of fine grains last year and this year.
This kind of thing is usually borrowed from each other, after all, everyone has something important to do.
When Wang Dongyao and Lei Dianying finally returned home, most people had left, and only the two brothers, the chef, were left.
The wild boar meat is being stewed in the pot.
The two cooks, Nan Nan and Nan Yi, were smoking and watching the fire in the back kitchen.
"Okay, thank you for bothering me today. Please keep the fifty thousand yuan we agreed on. In addition, I will also give you these offal and pig heads. Keep them."
" Next time you have this job, don't forget your brother." Nan Nan pulled Nan Yi, said hello and left. "We need to braise the meat for a few more hours, preferably until tomorrow morning. Brother, you are an expert, just watch the fire."
"Okay, take care, I won't see you off."
Wang Dongyao leaned over the pot and smelled it, thinking that there was not much seasoning in it. However, after thinking about his own spice base, he decided not to add any more seasoning. It was already very good that the seasoning could cover up the fishy smell of wild boar meat.
But it’s better this way, the meat braised in this way will have more original flavor and more meaty aroma, Wang Dongyao comforted himself.
Lei Dianying didn't care much about these and continued eating the leftovers.
"By the way, Aying, have you discovered something?"
"?"
"You've been eating more and more recently." Wang Dongyao said.
"Renlian, now that you mention it, I've noticed that my appetite has indeed increased recently." Lei Dianying touched his chin and said, "It's not that my appetite didn't increase before, but the efficiency of my stomach and intestines in digesting food has improved. I can get more energy from less food."
"So the change in food intake is actually not that big."
"But now that my body has become stronger, my energy consumption has increased further, and my digestive system has reached a limit in squeezing food."
"And this world is not like Teyvat where one can obtain elemental power from the air to replenish the body's consumption."
"Naturally, my appetite increased without me noticing."
"As for the so-called innate Qi in this world, although it is indeed somewhat interesting and can prolong life, slow down aging, and has various magical abilities, it cannot replace material to replenish the body's consumption."
"Hmm~ It's very similar to the spiritual power of the Liyue alchemists, but a little different. It seems to be an energy that everyone in this world is born with."
"It has a better effect on the body than the spiritual power of the alchemists, but it accumulates more slowly."
What Lei's movie didn't say is that if something like the Innate Qi is not cultivated and cultivated continuously, the Innate Qi will slowly dissipate, the upper limit will be reduced, and it will take a long time to accumulate the upper limit of the Innate Qi before it will be relatively considerable.
A sophisticated practice method and a diligent attitude are both indispensable.
To climb the path of innate qi is far more difficult than the path of the Eye of God in Teyvat.
Because those who embark on this path often have to be prepared to make no progress for several years or even decades.
