The truth is: Once daughters grow up, they can’t be kept at ho.
Fang Zhizhong rembered that he also had a daughter and would inevitably go through the sa thing as Mu Xin in the future. He couldn’t help feeling a bit pained, "Co on, Lao Mu, let’s have a drink."
Chen Mo never expected that the setback on the first day would just be a precursor to the explosive success on the second day. Dunzi, the car god, ca and went in a flash, making the CT6 feel like a supercar.
"Boss Xiao Chen, I brought all fifty chickens, but no luck with the tofu; I couldn’t find any," Dunzi explained. "Last ti I bought the tofu, I kept the boss’s phone number. I just called and they said there really wasn’t any, and if they were to make fresh, it would take several hours."
There was really nothing that could be done about it.
Chen Mo nodded firmly, "Thanks a lot, brother. I’ll let you have a free serving of Braised Chicken Rice later."
Dunzi’s eyes lit up, "Can I pick the biggest one?"
"Sure!"
Fifty pounds of flour gradually dwindled under Chen Mo’s arms, and LuLu couldn’t keep up with the speed at which Chen Mo was serving the dishes.
The main problem was starting from the fourth floor for deliveries, which was truly tiring. Climbing up to the fourth floor and back each ti was exhausting; LuLu would usually be out of breath climbing to the sixth floor. Money really does keep you going!
Fifty pounds of flour can make more than sixty bowls of noodles. This ti, only a few rooms on the first floor didn’t get any, so most of the patients were quite satisfied with the result. The happiness of being full and sated filled the live broadcast room.
But the Braised Chicken Rice was a different story.
Chen Mo only prepared thirty portions, and there were still patients on one or two more floors who hadn’t had any.
"Looks like we need to speed things up."
With an hour and a half left until closing ti, Chen Mo was a bit anxious. There were fifty chickens, and at his previous speed, there was no way he could finish them all in ti.
"So..."
Chen Mo caught a glimpse of a faint glow on the workbench, a light only he could see.
[Advance! Braised Chicken!]
[Since you’ve finally perfected the Braised Chicken through your continuous efforts and experintation, you’re rewarded with an advanced-level Braised Chicken recipe. Keep up the good work!]
Indeed, this was what Chen Mo had been waiting for all day.
Previously, the system had made it clear that any recipe considered a "famous dish" would have an advanced preparation thod.
Mapo Tofu is a famous Sichuan Cuisine dish, and likewise, Braised Chicken is a famous dish in Lu Cuisine.
It’s just that later, soone turned it into a fast-food version and promoted it nationwide. Indeed, after Braised Chicken Rice was promoted, it was such a simple recipe but managed to support countless families.
This shows just how delicious this dish is!
"So what about the advanced Braised Chicken?"
Chen Mo relaxed his body and began to quietly watch the animated demo of the advanced Braised Chicken preparation in his mind.
Seeing that Boss Xiao Chen wasn’t moving, Dunzi assud Boss Chen was tired and needed a break, so he slowly returned to the patient rooms.
Chang Jianjun was busy devouring his second bowl of noodles, too occupied to pay attention to this side.
LuLu was rushing between the inpatient departnt and the back door, her legs almost giving out from the strain.
"So if I want to make the advanced Braised Chicken, I’m still short a few ingredients."
After watching once, Chen Mo felt a bit disappointed but still hopeful as he turned to Chang Jianjun, who was slurping noodles, to ask, "Doctor, can I ask you sothing?"
"Sluuurp~" Chang Jianjun finished the noodle soup from his bowl thoroughly, his stomach almost full, "Sure, go ahead."
"If I wanted to buy so vegetables right now, do you think I could get them?"
"You can’t." Chang Jianjun replied imdiately without thinking, "Where would there be any supermarkets open at this hour outside? It’s almost two o’clock already."
The denial was so direct, Chen Mo sighed.
If that’s the case, then he could only make the Braised Chicken using his original thod, which might an he wouldn’t finish all fifty chickens within the business hours.
Seeing Chen Mo’s unhappy face, Chang Jianjun stood up, patting his full belly, and asked, "What’s wrong, Mr. Chen? Did you run out of sothing?"
"Yeah, I suddenly rembered I know another way to cook chicken, but I’m missing so vegetables."
Chang Jianjun took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, tasting the wheat flavor in his mouth, "What ingredients are you missing?"
"A bit of celery, onions, and also Napa cabbage."
Upon hearing these ingredients, Chang Jianjun’s face turned pale as he thought of so unpleasant mories, "Oh man, you wouldn’t know, but our hospital cafeteria serves these every day. You probably wouldn’t believe it!"
Talking about the cafeteria, Chang Jianjun couldn’t contain his urge to complain, "Stir-fried onions with at, and it’s all onions! Fish-flavored shredded pork, all bloody carrot shreds! And that, stir-fried celery with dried tofu, can you believe the cafeteria sells it for 28 yuan?"
Recalling the 18-yuan shredded potatoes he had seen before, Chen Mo thought Qian Erniu was excessively outrageous in this regard.
The cafeteria business really shows a person’s conscience.
So managers genuinely do their best to make profits while ensuring everyone eats well and is happy.
Others, taking advantage of a monopoly, don’t consider the dining employees and other custors as human, producing poor-quality and expensive food. Qian Erniu is that kind of person.
Seeing Chen Mo stay silent, Chang Jianjun suddenly thought, "Are you wanting these vegetables to make chicken?"
"Uh... no! Making chicken? It’s for when preparing chicken that I need these vegetables!"
Chang Jianjun gave a sheepish smile, "Do you need a lot of them?"
Based on the advanced version demo he had just watched, Chen Mo estimated, "I should need one head of Napa cabbage, five or six onions, and a bunch of celery should suffice."
That’s not much at all.
Chang Jianjun thought for a mont, "Why don’t I give it a try?"
"What do you an?"
Chang Jianjun whispered, "I’ll tell you sothing, but don’t ever say it was who told you."
"Okay."
"Actually, our hospital cafeteria is supposed to be open 24 hours, but Qian Erniu thinks it’s not worth hiring a cook just for the few people who eat at night, so they don’t open in the evening."
Chen Mo nodded, realizing that there was even such a thing.
Chang Jianjun continued, "So Qian Erniu ca up with a solution. The cafeteria doesn’t close at night, but it doesn’t serve food. He sleeps there at night himself."
So that’s how it is!
This was also important information, which Chen Mo secretly noted to include in his report later.
"If you really need these ingredients, I could try to steal... I an, borrow so."
"Can you do that?"
Chang Jianjun smirked slyly, "The canteen always needs these for cooking, and there’s plenty in the kitchen! Plus, with Qian Erniu sleeping in his little room, no one will notice ."
Chen Mo pondered for a mont; if this doctor was willing to say this, then he must be confident. But there was sothing he couldn’t figure out: why would the doctor want to help him?
Chang Jianjun’s facial muscles twitched slightly, and his sly smile turned into a fawning one.
"Well, if I bring the veggies back, could you also make a complintary chicken?"
Chen Mo was taken aback, "You an a free serving of chicken for you?"
"Yes, yes!"
"Sure, no problem."
After all, the advanced version of Braised Chicken is indeed different.
If he’s willing to help borrow so vegetables, giving away a free serving is completely manageable!
