Chapter 73

The Han family is a large real estate family in city b, with good real estate properties and good properties.When the promotion of this new property was just started, many people were paying attention to it.

However, for most families, buying a house is a traumatic event.Taking advantage of many real estate developers rushing to hold activities on New Year's Day, those who are interested are going to investigate one by one, compare which one has the most favorable policy, and then make a move.

On this day, passing by Han's sales department, people were surprised to find that there was an extra group of photos on the originally bare advertising space.The young man in the photo is handsome and sunny, stretching his long legs comfortably on the beanbag sofa, touching his chin with one hand, and smiling longingly and sweetly.

In his fantasy, there is a grand wedding surrounded by colorful balloons and colorful flowers, there is the surprise of a beautiful wife verifying her pregnancy, there is the rush of being a new dad, and there is the pride of the child's academic excellence.At the end, the screen jumps, and it becomes a high-spirited and high-spirited family and business success, quite a feeling of reaching the pinnacle of life.

Getting married, having children, and starting a career are all stages in life, and young people nowadays must take at least one of them.In the poster, the fantasy of youth condenses people's best vision for the future, and presents it to everyone in the most intuitive way with bright and bright pictures.Especially the happy smiles of young people are particularly contagious.The shallow dimples seem to be filled with sunshine, so bright that people can't help but smile too.

Who didn't imagine the future when they were young?Before they knew it, passers-by smiled knowingly and recalled their various expectations for the future when they were young.

And some young couples who are planning to get pregnant or getting married, and want to choose a house in the school district, can't help substituting into the happy atmosphere created by the handsome guy, and go directly to the sales department.It wasn't until the sales lady came forward to say hello with a smile on her face that she realized where she was.

Although their plan is to look at the properties they like one by one tomorrow to compare preferential policies.But since we came to the Han family earlier, let's take a look at the sand table first.

Looking at it this way, they couldn't move their feet immediately: Not only is the community well planned, but the nearby schools range from kindergarten to high school, and the discounts are quite generous.

Home buyers who have done their homework know the market and know that if they switch to other real estate companies, the preferential policies they can offer are at most comparable to those of Han's, but the community planning and surrounding environment may not be as good as here.

After inquiring about the discount, several couples decided to pay the intent money immediately, so that they can grab the house they want as soon as possible when the market opens tomorrow.If you don’t have enough money, immediately contact your family to send it.After a while, the parking space outside the gate of the sales department was full of cars.

Popularity has always had a snowball effect.It was discovered that the sales department was full of people before the official opening date, and other home buyers who were afraid of missing out on the discount quickly followed up to inquire.As for the real people, they were first attracted by the advertisement, and then realized that the scene was extremely hot. Thinking that someone among their relatives and friends seemed to be asking about buying a house, they quickly notified them to grab a bargain.

In just one morning, the street where the sales department is located was flooded with enthusiastic house buyers, and changed from normally unimpeded to unimpeded.After hearing the news, the people rushed to look for parking spaces, leaving and entering, causing a long queue of drivers behind.

In the afternoon, a radio program that reports traffic conditions during peak hours was puzzled to learn that the street had been congested since morning.A radio reporter was specially sent over to interview, to see if the city government was temporarily repairing roads and demolition.

When they went to the scene, the reporters found that they were all wrong. At the same time, they became more and more puzzled: Why is this real estate sales so hot today when the real estate market is weak and various rescue policies are emerging one after another and there is no way to recover?Is it true that there are rich people everywhere in our country, and the market depression can't stop their enthusiasm for spending money?

With doubts, the reporter randomly interviewed several buyers who just came out of the lobby.Everyone's answer was basically the same: I saw Meng Xiaolou's advertisement and came in to have a look. I thought it was suitable in all aspects, so I bought it as soon as possible.

As for the only one who gave a different answer, it was a high school student who had just finished school.Her original words were: "Boss Xiao didn't accept magazine interviews before, and he didn't have photos. This time, he accepted two issues, and they won't be printed until the end of the month. So I came here today to find his poster."

"Then did you find it?" The reporter couldn't help thinking of his star chasing years.

The little girl shook a thick stack of brochures in her hand triumphantly, "Of course, but I want his figure display board more. Auntie, can you help me get one?"

Following the direction she pointed, the reporter was immediately slapped with a handsome face by the welcome figures.I couldn't help staring at the handsome boy's smiling face for a moment, then shook my head regretfully, "Sorry, Auntie can't do it."

At the same time, she silently added in her heart: I want it too!

After receiving the front-line interview from the reporter, the radio host truthfully reported the cause of the traffic jam and reminded the drivers that it is best to take a detour until the real estate is sold out.

Tomorrow is a small holiday, and the travel peak is several hours earlier than usual.This news spread to the ears of car owners all over the city along with the radio waves, and inadvertently helped Han and Xiao Ke to do a free promotion.

People in the industry who heard the news were all lamenting Xiao Ke's ability to attract money. The producer who just signed the starring contract with Xiao Ke a few days ago hummed the out-of-key Qin opera happily.As for the few people who were invited to Xiao Ke's house for a small gathering, they decided in unanimous agreement that they must rip off the money and have a good meal later.

At this time, Xiao Ke was taking the opportunity of the birthday banquet to teach Ding Haili and the two chef reserve apprentices he focused on training new recipes in the apartment.

Considering that all the people here tonight are young people, and everyone prefers to have fun eating rather than meat-based hard dishes, he chose dishes that he doesn't usually cook.One of them is chrysanthemum hot pot.

Before he was filming in the mountains, he thought of this dish from wild chrysanthemums, so he asked Ding Haili to order a batch of special small copper pots.

Although Xiao Ke passed the recipe along with the picture of the pot at the time, Ding Haili was afraid that the taste would spoil the restaurant's signboard, so he would rather not make a new one for now, and wait for Xiao Ke to come back and demonstrate it in person before making it.So it dragged on from the autumn when the golden chrysanthemums were in full bloom to the winter solstice.

Fortunately, flowers are constantly available in four seasons, and you can purchase the flowers you need at any time.Otherwise, this batch of special copper pots will have to wait until next year before they can be used.

The double layer of the pot body is made of copper, and the outer layer is carved with delicate chrysanthemum patterns.Unlike ordinary hot pot utensils, which are shaped like pots or pots, it looks like a large plate with a slightly deeper base from above.There is a hollow cylinder in the center for pouring alcohol, and special treatment has been done inside to slow down the burning speed of alcohol.

Ignite the alcohol, and the copper pot with excellent thermal conductivity will burn to hot in less than a moment.Xiao Ke grabbed a pinch of thinly sliced ​​shiitake mushrooms, scallions, white ginger, and put them into the wok until they sizzled, then added them to the chicken broth.Then add fresh white chrysanthemums that have been torn into petals and petals after removing the flower stalks, add the lid to the soup and continue to cook.

While waiting for the chicken soup to taste, Xiao Ke went to cook other dishes.

Let one apprentice beat egg whites, and the other handle mung bean paste.When the ingredients are ready, Xiao Ke first quickly rubs the very finely ground bean paste into long strips, and then wraps it with a layer of egg whites beaten until foamy.Then, he turned around in the flour mixed with seasoning, dipped enough cornstarch and put it in a pre-heated oil pan to fry thoroughly. Smelling the sweet aroma, Ding Haili tried to play with the bean paste, and found that although the water was deliberately reduced I still can't pinch the shape myself.I don't know how many times he was deeply moved by Xiao Ke's craftsmanship, and he asked: "Mr. Xiao Xiao, what is the name of this dish?"

"Fake sheep tail." This dish is round at the top and pointed at the bottom, thin and long, like a sheep's tail.

While memorizing it in his heart, Ding Haili did not forget to dispose of the minced chicken in his hand.When the minced chicken, which is made of pork, canna powder, shredded fish, etc., is cooked and the color turns translucent, Xiao Ke reminded, "Add ham."

The fat meat was removed, and the lean part of the cloud legs was added into the pot. The minced chicken suddenly turned from moist and yellow to pink, and the greasy fragrance was slightly salty.

Taking a deeper bowl, Xiao Ke dipped a wavy copper plate ordered together with the copper pan into the oil and passed it quickly, then put it vertically into the bowl, and said: "Add the minced ham and chicken here. "

Immediately afterwards, he asked the apprentice to fry another portion of duck oil and bean tip, and put it on the other side.

Looking at this bowl of dishes with distinct red and green, like different colors of Tai Chi, Ding Haili thought about the steps just now, and guessed: "After it is served on the table, should the copper plate be removed?"

"That's right. There is oil in the middle of the two dishes, so they won't mix together."

After a pause, Xiao Ke asked again: "Old Ding, where is the fried pork skin that I asked you to prepare this morning?"

"Bring it." Ding Haili immediately took out a food box and brought it in front of Xiao Ke.

This was prepared when the restaurant first opened.At that time, the purchase went to a cooperative pig farm for supply, and I personally directed to cut off a three-inch-wide strip of meat from the back of a large pig that was slaughtered, and collected dozens of them back.After cleaning, fry until the surface bubbles, then filter out the oil juice, dry it thoroughly and put it in a small altar to seal.

Ding Haili didn't know what it was for.This morning, Xiao Ke suddenly asked him to take out a whole strip of pork skin, wash it off the greasy smell and then soak it in high broth to soften it.He immediately became interested, not only did the whole process by himself, but now he was staring at Xiao Ke's movements intently, ready to see how he would turn the rotten into a miracle, and turn the ordinary fried pigskin into a delicacy.

Cut the soaked long strips of pigskin into thin shreds, Xiao Ke turned on the fire, added chili and white pepper and other condiments, and stir-fried them together on high heat.When the soft pigskin soaked in the broth was squeaky and white steamed, and the water was evaporated, he cracked in two more eggs, fried the eggs and put them on a plate.

Not only Lao Ding couldn't take his eyes off the smell of the numbing fragrance, but also the two apprentices who were cooking other dishes began to be absent-minded.Sensing their expressions, Xiao Ke took out a small plate, put a toothpick on it and handed it over together: "Taste first."

This move was exactly what they wanted, and the three of them didn't care about being polite, so they hurried to do it.However, compared to the impatience of his apprentices, Lao Ding is more particular.After the small dish was served in front of him, he was not in a hurry to start eating, but looked at his appearance first.

The pork skin, softened in broth and then shredded, is now slightly whitish, about the same thickness as silver shredded beef.If he hadn't seen the process, he wouldn't have been able to guess what ingredients it was made of.He picked a few and put them in his mouth, his eyes lit up immediately: Unlike the usual dry, fragrant and greasy fried pork skin, the pork skin in his mouth was soft and smooth, slightly chewy, but not greasy.It is perfect for accompaniment with food and wine.

"Mr. Xiao, this dish must have a good name, right?" Ding Haili said, the fake sheep tail is fine, if this dish is called fried pork skin, few people would like to order it.

Xiao Ke said: "Osmanthus fragrans is fried, because its small bubbles are like osmanthus."

"It's a good name." Ding Haili praised.He can foresee that after this dish is launched, diners should chase the waiter to ask about the ingredients again.

At this time, the alcohol in the copper pot was burned out, and the soup that had been simmering for a while began to become quieter.Xiao Ke lifted the lid, and after the heat dissipated, he saw that the chrysanthemum petals inside were constantly rolling with the fresh soup, and had changed from porcelain white to translucent white, completely delicious.The freshness and sweetness of the native chicken are combined with the unique fragrance of chrysanthemum, which is rich and long-lasting.

Adding some alcohol to the compartment, Xiao Ke asked the apprentices to slice up fish and tenderloin, and prepare a few plates of fresh shrimp and vegetables, and prepared to light the fire to rinse the dishes when all the people arrived.

As soon as I put a few dishes I made on the table, there was a knock on the door from the living room.

When he opened the door, it was Yu Xiaoyue who just arrived in City B yesterday, and Jin Lan was standing beside him.

This combination is really unexpected.Xiao Ke couldn't help asking: "Why did you come together? Did you meet downstairs?"

Yu Xiaoyue, who was usually careless, blushed when he asked him this question, before he could speak.

Jin Lan was much more generous, and walked in without any surprise.Just as he was about to speak, he smelled the scent coming from his nostrils, and immediately forgot what he wanted to say, and asked instead: "Has anyone else come? If I don't come, I can't help but eat first."
