Chapter 66 I'm having a pig craving, @...
"Hey young man, you're here for lunch again!"
At the same location, it was the same woman from yesterday. She waved to Zhang Fan from afar, her voice so loud that the entire line could hear her.
Zhang Fan's lips twitched, and he nodded with an awkward smile.
Last night, his son smiled at him, which was rare for him, and before going to bed, he repeatedly reminded him to bring back a few more portions.
Sure enough, during lunch break, he came running over excitedly.
This time, he was even thinking of taking an extra portion like his older sister.
When he met the older woman again, he didn't queue up. Instead, he parked his car on the side of the road, got out, and jogged to stand close to her, listening intently to what she had to say.
The result was even easier than he had imagined.
The older sister simply said she wanted an extra serving, and then she got a second serving of Three Cup Chicken.
Zhang Fan quickly ran back to the end of the line and soon it was his turn.
"Hello, this is Zhang Fan from the traffic police team!"
"Oh, you're here at noon too? Didn't you drive today?"
Xiao Bai's face was all smiles, a bright and cheerful smile, but to anyone who looked at it, there was something more to it than met the eye.
Zhang Fan's heart skipped a beat, realizing that his drift yesterday might have offended the other party. The second sentence that was stuck in his throat was left unsaid.
"Thanks."
Remembering his son's words, he thanked him anyway, then turned and left.
boom!
A loud bang came from behind.
Zhang Fan turned around abruptly and saw a lively girl tapping Xiao Bai Ge's head repeatedly with a rolled-up paper tube.
"Show some respect to the police, you bastard!"
Seeing Zhang Fan's stunned gaze, the girl immediately stood at attention, raised her right hand to her temple, and gave a salute that wasn't quite standard:
"Hello, police officers! Thank you for your hard work!"
Xiaoyue said with a smile:
"Would you like to take another portion home? We still have plenty of braised duck products here. Take two portions, they can be kept for another day, so you don't have to worry about not being able to finish them."
She packed the food as she spoke, her hands and feet moving quickly and efficiently.
Little White rubbed his head, touched it, and bowed his head in apology:
"Sorry, I was being petty!"
"It's nothing, yesterday..."
Zhang Fan scratched the back of his head, took the handbag from Xiaoyue's hand, and smiled:
"I didn't think things through yesterday either!"
Goodbye, police officer!
Xiaoyue waved goodbye to him.
Gain recognition.
Zhang Fan's mood did a complete 180-degree turn. He got into the car humming a song to himself, stepped on the gas, and drove away.
"Feel sorry!"
After dealing with a group of customers in line.
Xiao Bai turned around and looked at Xiao Yue with apologetic expression.
"It's okay, you're just too tired. Being locked up here, someone as active as you would naturally get annoyed."
Xiaoyue reached out and patted his shoulder: "You go and rest first, I'll take your place this afternoon!"
Xiao Bai suddenly looked up.
He, who was usually quick-witted, was surprisingly at a loss for words.
"Um!"
Xiao Bai didn't persist; he was indeed a bit tired.
These past few days he's been in charge of packing takeout orders. Although he doesn't have to do the moving and packing himself, dealing with hundreds of people every day, plus the meaningless repetitive work, has actually made him incredibly exhausted.
It was this exhaustion that made me feel so tired.
That's what ignited the fire in his heart, which eventually erupted.
Xiaoyu is like a handful of cool mountain spring water.
They extinguished his flames.
It also brought him new motivation.
"Xiaoyue is amazing. I doubt anyone can match her energy, and she's so understanding too. No wonder she's so popular..."
Xiao Bai's lips curled up in a happy smile:
"I guess I have a good eye for talent, that's why I was able to discover her."
His mood completely improved.
I jogged upstairs, ready to take a shower and sleep until I naturally woke up.
Ding!
"Serve the food."
Ling Yun didn't even look up; his calm voice came from inside the dining car.
Zhang Moli and her team immediately stepped forward, jogging to pack each serving of Three Cup Chicken according to the packaging requirements and sending them to Xiaoyue.
I almost forgot about this monster.
The young man in white paused and stopped in his tracks.
His current angle wasn't ideal; he could only see half of Ling Yun's body and his face, which was as calm as a rock.
He stared at that face for three days.
I not only watch it in person, but I also watch it when editing videos.
Aside from a hint of surprise on his face when serving food, he was usually serious, focused, and meticulous.
Compared to Xiaoyue.
This guy is a true physical monster.
More than a dozen of them revolved around him, exhausting themselves every day, yet he showed no signs of fatigue whatsoever.
Xiao Bai and his friends had calculated it in private.
Lingyun worked more than twelve hours a day for three days, yet showed no signs of fatigue.
Everyone agreed.
With such willpower and physical strength, one can excel in anything.
Forget it.
Xiao Bai reached out and rubbed his lower back, muttering under his breath:
"I'm not going to compare myself to those perverts."
He lifted his foot and went upstairs to rest.
Inside the dining car, Ling Yun finally relaxed, the tension that had been building up on her face for three days finally dissipating.
They're out! They're finally out!
Half a catty of seasoning liquid, 500 grams of Donggu Yipin Fresh, 300 grams each of steamed fish soy sauce and Maggi seasoning, 150 grams of spicy soy sauce, 50 grams of soybean soy sauce, and 20 grams of rock sugar.
This is the perfect blend of soy sauces for Three Cup Chicken.
The rice wine has also been selected.
Longnan Nanheng Rice Wine is made by steaming and drying glutinous rice three times, and then brewing it with spring water from deep mountains.
It has a rich, honey-like flavor, a mellow and smooth taste, and is sweet but not cloying.
The light, sweet, and slightly intoxicating flavor can perfectly enrich the sweetness of Three Cup Chicken, enhancing the sweetness of the chicken without overpowering its original texture.
They are the perfect green leaves.
"Alright, it's time to tackle this!"
Ling Yun clenched his fist. After confirming the three cups of seasoning in the Three Cup Chicken, the dish entered its long final stage of preparation.
In other words, both dishes are waiting for the perfect individual.
Once you find the most suitable individual, and determine its birth year, place of origin, and weight, that's all!
Ling Yun picked up the phone again.
This time, he called Brother Li:
"Brother, I want all kinds of top-quality chickens and ducks, different sizes, different years!"
"I'll get it for you, all day!"
Li Yi's replies are always reassuring.
During the waiting period, the temporary meal service from the dining car was also suspended.
Ling Yun got a day to rest. He slept all morning to replenish his energy, and then began his interview with Xiao Yue.
Due to space limitations.
The interview took place directly inside the dining car.
It was after this interview that Xiaoyue learned that Lingyun was actually a chef who had only studied three dishes so far.
I also learned about his complete life story.
An orphan, who started out as a school cook.
I have no culinary lineage, nor have I visited large restaurants or met any experienced chefs.
No one ever lifted him up.
But he was the one who worked the hardest.
They actually managed to break out of a small, out-of-the-way steakhouse.
Today, the night market has established itself.
Earning 50,000 yuan a day, so delicious that the police were called, a dispute over seasonings, and long queues on rainy nights.
Each of these deeds, taken individually, could become a hot topic.
It's a classic story of a grassroots rise to success.
His life at the steakhouse was like a gradual accumulation, which then exploded at the night market, propelling him to great heights.
"Absolutely amazing."
Xiaoyue kept sighing after the interview:
"You're truly the most talked-about internet celebrity I've ever interviewed!"
The others were also hearing such a complete introduction for the first time.
Looking at the man in front of them who spoke little, they all gave him a heartfelt round of applause that lasted for a long time.
As Xiaoyue had predicted, things turned out exactly as she had expected.
As soon as the video interview with such a buzz was released, Lingyun's fans surged to 600,000 in a single day.
Followed by.
Seeing the popularity of the "Opening of the Sea Festival and Fire Pit Cup" event, the official team immediately used several official promotional channels to further boost Lingyun's popularity.
Within a day.
All the topics surrounding Ling Yun surged into the top 30 of the trending topics list.
But in the end...
However, one extremely unusual question broke into the top ten:
"I'm craving pigs, @..."
It started with someone tagging Lingyun and saying they missed his food, but it quickly spread after it started circulating.
Some people are searching for the flavors of their childhood.
Some people are reminiscing about the home-cooked meals their mothers used to make.
Some people are reminiscing about the shops and restaurants that are hard to find anymore.
Someone is sharing famous local snacks that are unique to a certain place or province and are little known to people outside the province.
Others followed suit, showing off their favorite chefs and wanting to have a competition.
In short.
With the support of widespread discussion, the name Lingyun has firmly secured its place in the top ten of the discussion list.
This caused Ling Yun's reputation to soar once again.
The boss called.
The publicity campaign was completed overnight, but new problems arose!
