The growth system comes at the age of 30

Chapter 57: Engel knows nothing about food
Seeing that Chen Jingle was not very interested, the uncle said, "Sister, do you still remember Guangwu from our village?"

"His son and daughter-in-law opened a breakfast shop near the No. 7 Elementary School in the city. Now they have bought a house and a car, and the whole family has moved to the city. They only come back to the village occasionally during festivals. So, even though the breakfast shop may not seem very good, it is actually very profitable."

Chen Jingle felt somewhat helpless after hearing this.

You can make money running a breakfast shop, but it’s all hard-earned money. Most people can’t do it. You have to get up at three or four o’clock to prepare and open the shop at five o’clock.

For someone like him who sleeps until six, it would probably be seven by the time the shop opens. It would be strange if he could get up and work.

My uncle and his friends mean well, but their vision is limited, and their good intentions may not necessarily help you in many cases.

My uncle is a little better in this respect.

"The economy has not been good in the past two years, and catering is not doing well. Even if the food tastes good, people's consumption level has declined, and they will consider the price factor. Baozi that costs a few yuan each is probably not easy to sell here. If the price is too low, we will lose money. If the price is too high, customers will think it is too expensive. If we use frozen food, the taste is not good enough. If you really want to do it, don't open a store directly, set up a stall first to test the waters."

You and I were talking at the same time, as if Chen Jingle really wanted to open a restaurant.

Not long after, my second aunt arrived and everyone worked together to prepare lunch.

Chen Jingle also helped.

With his skillful techniques, he helped prepare food quickly. As for cooking, forget it. In front of his uncle, such an important job as cooking was not his turn.

Unless it's like Chinese New Year when you're too busy.

There weren't many people today, so we only had one table, with 8 dishes and a soup.

If the dishes are prepared, it doesn’t take much time to cook, so we can start eating after 11 o’clock.

At this time, the beef stew with potatoes that Chen Jingle brought in a takeaway box once again won everyone's praise.

"I think Xiaole doesn't need to open a breakfast shop anymore. He can just open a fast food restaurant in front of the school and make stewed beef with potatoes and only sell this. He can make a fortune!" The uncle started giving advice again.

The key is that everyone agrees.

"It is indeed fragrant and delicious, much better than the ones made in restaurants and hotels outside."

"Nowadays, the food in those hotels is too perfunctory and they are all extorting people. Last time, the daughter of so-and-so got married, and they said the price per table was 2,000 yuan, but many people didn't have enough to eat."

"It's all so fake, so ridiculous!"

"So this potato stew with beef can really be made if you open a shop, but beef is not cheap here. It would be great if we could make a pork version of the potato stew with beef."

"..."

Originally Chen Jingle was prepared to be tortured by the elders who urged him to get married, but in the end everyone was discussing food from beginning to end.

sweat~
really!

The sky is huge and the food is the biggest!
For ordinary people, nothing is more important than having enough food to eat.

……

After eating at his uncle’s house, Chen Jingle left first.

There is another one at home.

The little electric scooter works very fast and quickly.

When he returned to his second uncle's house, his eldest aunt saw him and immediately smiled: "Oh, the eldest master finally showed up. I wanted to bring something to your place, but Sister Xiu said you were not at home."

Chen Jingle was not angry either. He smiled and greeted, "Hello, auntie. I just went to my uncle's place. By the way, are you here alone or...?"

"Yun Sheng also came along. Your uncle went out to transport goods, and she didn't want to be alone at home."

When little cousin Lu Yunsheng heard the conversation, she came out of the house and greeted her cousin shyly.

Chen Jingle smiled and waved his hand.

"Where's my aunt? Is she here?"

"I'm upstairs supervising Li Wenrui and Chen Qiyun doing their homework."

Chen Jingle held his forehead with his hand when he heard this.

My sister-in-law is a typical pushy parent. Can't the homework wait until tomorrow? Today is a holiday.

"We just tasted the braised pork buns you made. They were really delicious. How did you make it? Teach me." The aunt leaned close and whispered.

Chen Jingle did not hide his secrets: "Of course. Apart from the meat filling, it is almost the same as ordinary bread. The meat filling is actually made with the normal braised meat routine. This braised meat can be made and eaten at home."

He talked a lot.

The eldest aunt interrupted quickly: "Hey, I can't remember all the things you said, how about you write it down?"

"Okay, I'll write an electronic version of the tutorial and send it to you on WeChat."

"That's good!"

"..."

Chen Jingle strolled into the kitchen to take a look.

"Uncle, is there anything else I can help you with?"

Chen Jingle's second uncle is a short and fat man. When standing together with Chen Jingle's father, they look like a pair of fat and thin monks.

In my hometown, it is usually the men who cook during the festivals. My second uncle's cooking skills are average, and he is good at home cooking.

The second uncle glanced at him and said, "We're still short of stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts and fried rice noodles. How about you come and make them?"

"Okay, let me do it. You take a break." Chen Jingle took on the task.

"Wow, you seem very confident. I'll leave it to you then."

Although the second uncle had never seen Chen Jingle cook, when he thought of the delicious meat buns and the fragrant beef stew with potatoes, he decided to trust him once.

The worst that can happen is failure, no big deal.

As long as it's not too bad, it's fine. "Do you have beef?" Chen Jingle wanted to make some dry fried beef noodles.

"There's no such thing. Your grandparents don't like beef, so I rarely buy it."

"What about lean meat? Pho doesn't have meat in it, it feels a little off."

"There's more in the fridge. I'll get it for you."

My second uncle walked out of the kitchen with a bulging belly. The refrigerator was in the room on the first floor of the main house.

At the same time, he called out, "Sister Xiu, come and help scoop the soup. It's time to eat."

"Oh~ here it comes!"

Chen Xiuyun and Lin Yaoheng actually went to the vegetable garden. I don't know what they were doing.

He came back skipping and jumping, and saw Chen Jingle waving a spatula in front of the stove, and he immediately laughed happily: "Wow, classmate Chen Jingle, are you cooking?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"No, no, it looks like there will be a few more delicious dishes."

"It's just so-so. Where are you going?"

"I'm looking at the vegetables, wondering how many to pick and take away." Chen Xiuyun smiled.

Oh~
Are you buying goods here?
"Come quickly and help set the table!" Uncle urged again.

Chen Xiuyun ran over and yelled, "I'm coming!"

Lin Yaoheng followed to help without any surprise.

……

As the last dish of fried rice noodles with lean meat came out of the pot, it was steaming hot and full of aroma.

Get it!

"Let's eat~!"

After hearing this, everyone couldn't wait to grab their seats.

There are 12 people in the family, and the table is full of dishes.

Since there are more people, there are a few more dishes than at my uncle's place.

There is the most classic and indispensable poached chicken, the steamed grouper and blanched prawns that are must-haves for major festivals, the braised pork feet with peanuts that Second Aunt learned to make from the Internet, the crispy roast pork made in the oven sponsored by Chen Xiuyun, the beef stewed with potatoes brought by Chen Jingle, the stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts and lean meat rice noodles cooked by himself, and the old-fashioned soup simmered for two hours on a wood stove, and so on.

Homely, but with an unusual taste.

Smelling the overflowing fragrance, Chen Qiyun's expression was intoxicated.

"That's great, bro!"

This meal is definitely the most sumptuous meal I have had this year!
It wasn't a question of how many dishes there were, but Chen Jingle made several dishes himself. Plus the ones made by his parents, although not as delicious as Chen Jingle's, they were still okay.

"Today I must eat to my heart's content!"

As for the few braised pork buns we ate earlier? That was called warming up our stomach!

Although the income level of people in the Lingnan and Nanzhu regions is not high, they are willing to spend money on food.

Some people always talk about the Engel coefficient, but the question is, what good things did old Engel have?

Does he know how to eat the eight major cuisines?

I don’t believe he wouldn’t be tempted by the 100-50 buffet set for two!

Do you really think that Chinese people are like people in other countries, eating dry bread every day?

Chen Jingle felt full just by looking at the white people's food.

To put it bluntly, the food served to Dahuang at my grandfather's house is better than those of the children studying abroad.

The older generation may still be used to being frugal, and they have a plan for what dishes and how much meat to eat every day.

Chen Jingle's idea is even more radical.

I buy whatever I want to eat, no matter if it’s fish, shrimp, crab, chicken, duck, goose, cow, mutton, or pig, as long as I like it and I want to eat it.

I'm earning money, but I'm still eating the same food as before, so isn't that a waste of money? !
"Wait a minute, let me take a picture first!" Chen Xiuyun shouted.

Oh~
This caused a round of boos from the crowd.

Before they finished booing, the eldest aunt, the second aunt and the second aunt also took out their mobile phones.

"OK, we've got it done."

Everyone picked up their chopsticks and praised the food.

The most popular one is naturally Chen Jingle’s stewed beef with potatoes.

After all, potatoes will never taste bad no matter how you cook them. After fully absorbing the aroma of beef, the chemical reaction between the aroma of starch and the aroma of meat far exceeds 1+1=2.

One word, absolutely!

Chen Qiyun picked up the dishes and ate the rice so quickly that her second aunt looked at her strangely. Was this still her usual picky and anorexic little daughter?

Chen Jingle watched the harmonious scene at the dinner table with a smile and drank the Cordyceps and Black Chicken Soup in silence.

Being a cook occasionally seems... not a bad thing.
