Chapter 2: There is a cure for food problems

After hearing what Zhang Zhong said, all the officials understood that the new governor should also know that the people here are different. If they want to win people's hearts, some officials are happy, some officials have ugly faces, and some are indifferent.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan watched with a thousand eyes on the boat, and wrote down the expressions of every official, especially those with ugly faces. Such people are usually villains, corruption, bribery, and using their power to damage the interests of the people to make themselves rich, etc.

They were afraid that a person in charge would be his boss, and the one they were most reluctant to meet was the wealthy Shangguan in their family, which was difficult to bribe.

The people working were not aware that the new officials asked them to cook for them, and some were already ready to go home to cook and take them for their families who worked for them.

At this moment, the fifty-six people in the water received a signal, and at the same time stepped on the water and shouted: "Friends, don't leave. Lord Zhang has asked someone to prepare lunch and eat it in a while."

He shouted a few times to make sure that the people could hear it clearly. The fifty-six people stopped. The few times they just shouted were exhausted and they were still stepping on water. Thanks to their usual practice of carrying weights in the water, and there was also sea water here, which was very buoyant.

The people have never encountered such a thing. Even if they work for twenty days a year, they have to bring their own meals. They looked at Zhang Zhong, surrounded by officials in disbelief, and looked at the people who cooked on the shore, and they really had a little hope in their hearts.

The people are not looking forward to a meal. No matter how good the food is, I can resist eating it. I am looking forward to this matter to come true. This means that the new high-ranking official is at least a good official now, and then life may be easier in the future.

"Listen to me, listen to me, wait, wait, and see if it's really cooking for us." An old man who was being held up shouted at the crowd, and then coughed twice.

When everyone heard the old man's words, they really stopped moving and were waiting there. The people working were unable to be so serious. They stopped from time to time to look at the place where they cooked on the shore.

"Mr. Zhang really loves people like his sons. He brought so many ingredients when he came over there. I wonder how the food there tastes? You must try it later." An official who had been expressionless just now praised.

After his praise, a hint of worry appeared on the face of the happy person. The man with an ugly face had his mouth curled up. They seemed to have not listened carefully to what Zhang Zhong said just now, thinking that what Zhang Zhong brought was from the capital and was the way he did it there.

People in the north like to eat mutton, which has a strong fishy smell. In this way, local people will definitely not be used to eating it. People will think that the new official deliberately harmed them.

After hearing this person's words, Zhang Zhong looked at him carefully, smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Xiaobao stared at the man on the boat and looked at him, "Remember this man, look back and check it out, use this kind of small means in front of me, and I let him know what big means are."

The old man who had just spoken shouted again, "I heard from me that the adults came from the capital, and the chefs may be from there. The food they cook may not be used to. Listen to me that as long as it is cooked by the adults, even if it is not delicious, they will have to eat the food."

When the people heard this, they nodded. They also knew that the ones coming from there were different from here, and they just had to cook them. They didn’t care whether they were eating habits or not. They couldn’t eat them over there, so wouldn’t adults not be used to eating here?

Zhang Zhong also heard the old man's words. Now he became serious. The old man seemed not easy, and he could even think of such things.

Zhang Zhong was not worried that the food he made would make people here unaccustomed to it. He had long been accustomed to the dishes from various places. He found chefs from all over the country in Beijing at home, and spent a lot of money to buy ingredients from all over the country. He took turns to make it, and he really couldn't stand it at first.

But seeing that my son and daughter-in-law can talk about their advantages and disadvantages no matter what kind of dishes they eat, and they still taste so delicious, I get used to it when I try it.

The chefs on the boat can cook all kinds of dishes. Not to mention how good they are, at least the flavors from all over the place can be grasped, and the ingredients have been prepared long ago. My son calculated that there was no dock here, and he deliberately arranged for himself to lead a group of officials to speak here, saying that he wanted to see which official was trustworthy.

It is logical that it is the most convenient to make stew at this time. However, stews are usually northern dishes. The chefs would rather be tired and start cooking a single dish in a big pot. There are four dishes, no soup, and the staple food is rice noodles.

According to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's experience at that time, I think that people nowadays should be similar. When I cooperate with the chefs here to go to Beijing, they pay attention to spicy and spicy food, especially chicken. One of the essential dishes is bamboo shoots, and the other two dishes are traditional dishes, braised pork and steamed prawns.

I originally wanted to make horseshoe cakes, but unfortunately I couldn’t get so many horseshoe, and the things on the boat were enough for ten thousand people to eat.

The taste of other dishes is slow, but the steamed prawns is made of soup. The light and strong smell is blown by the sea breeze. After smelling it, the people around them sniffed and shouted fragrance.

After the old man who had just called out smelled it, he turned to look at Zhang Zhong, showing a look of admiration.

Zhang Zhong also smelled it and said to the people around him: "This dish is steamed prawns. It is really big prawns. The smallest one is three inches long. I will try it in a while. If you want to eat it directly, I also brought a few ingredients."

"It's still a thorough preparation for me. I'll have a good time in that moment." After a worried official smelled the smell, he breathed a sigh of relief and echoed and said.

The faces of the officials changed again, and the various aspects of life were revealed.

In addition to the braised pork for a long time, I just went through the water before I got down. There were still several steps to go. Other dishes such as chicken have been prepared in advance and can be eaten after being served. Steamed shrimps and bamboo shoots are made faster. When the chef thinks that braised pork is similar, he starts to add rice noodles.

Sour and sour soup, rice noodles are added to the rice noodles, and you can just grab a few. Although there are no chili here, it is not clear whether the locals can really match the taste, but the chefs here like to make spicy things, such as onion, ginger, garlic, etc., and some slightly spicy ones also like to eat, leeks and garlic sprouts.

Once the braised pork is ready, the rice noodles will also be prepared. Next to it are chopped green onions, coriander, sesame seeds, chopped shredded pork, vinegar, sesame oil, and pepper oil. Put it yourself as you wish.

A plate made of thin wood, bowls and chopsticks were piled in the cooking place. Once the fire was turned off, the chef would knock on the pot with a spoon.

"Everyone has a break and have a meal. Remember not to be over, especially the little kids and those who work, otherwise your stomach will be cured if you get tired."

After repeating it twice, the old man came over first, glanced at the four dishes, nodded, and praised: "Okay, I'm interested, I'll give me one, how can I use this?"

The old man picked up a dining plate, and there were several grids on the dining plate, but he didn't understand after reading it.

The chef took it and put each of the four dishes into the grids. He put the pickles in the small grids. He used up a large bowl of rice noodles and handed over the chopsticks and said apologetically: "You can only find a place to eat by yourself. It is impossible for you to bring so many stools on the boat."

The bowl of rice noodles was placed in a round grid in the middle of the tray, which was very convenient to hold. The old man didn't care if there was a place to sit. He walked to the side with the dish broken and started eating.

Some people took the lead, and other people lined up in front of several chefs to receive the meal. After eating, they couldn't stop them. They came to make one meal after another, and everyone praised it for its deliciousness.

When the number of people was slightly less, Zhang Zhong also brought the officials over, picked up a plate, and made a portion of rice noodles. When the rice noodles were used, it was a little spicy and less vinegar.

His behavior seemed different in the eyes of the people. I didn't expect that he could not see it at all. Such a large official ate the same thing as himself and others. The dishes were indeed delicious. Four dishes were one staple food. He usually dreamed of eating it but didn't dare to eat it like this. But how could an official eat the same thing as a person like himself?

Zhang Zhong didn't care about that, he picked up a chopstick of rice noodles, slutted into his mouth, and uttered his lips with his tongue, and said to other officials who were stunned: "Eat it? Could it be that the taste is not good? I think it's okay, it's just braised pork made from a big pot. It tastes worse, and the chef didn't dare to make it so sweet."

The new governor has eaten. Whoever dares not eat, even if he thinks that eating with the people is a bit reduced, he has to come to the station to cook. After waiting for the taste of the food, he doesn't care about his identity and eats happily.

Everyone saves the food for other dishes, and it will be enough. The rice noodles are not polite at all. Some rice noodles are sent on the boat. The chef cannot eat now and is busy putting them into the soup.

It didn't take much time to eat a meal, less than two quarters of an hour, but the speed of eating was countless times faster than usual. As expected, there were little kids who were greedy. When they were eating, their stomachs were obviously full. Because they were eating quickly, the nerve reflex signals had not yet been transmitted to their brains. They were waiting to feel it, but they couldn't stand it anymore.

The ship immediately put down twenty doctors and two doctors, and came here to give acupuncture and massage. Some of them just vomited a few times, and some of them were given some Shancha pills if they were not too serious.

The local people were really relieved this time. The official who came was a good official. The price of four dishes was not low. They were given food to so many people at once and prepared so many doctors.
