Chapter 244: The Weak Man Group
"This casserole... was it so easy for you to carry it over just now?" Da Zhuang looked at it again and again, but still couldn't help but turn his head to look at Su Yuchen on the side.
Su Yuchen nodded calmly, "Yes, it's very light, it just looks heavy, do you want to try it?"
Da Zhuang was stunned and looked at the casserole again with doubt. The people at the table were waiting to scoop soup, but when they heard this, they immediately put down their spoons and stopped moving.
Lu Hongwen looked at Da Zhuang excitedly, "Brother Da Zhuang, give it a try. Your name buff is here to protect you. Little casserole, take it!"
"Take it!" Wu Kaile was inexplicably excited and echoed.
Da Zhuang had a hunch that something was wrong, but everyone at the table seemed to be expecting something, even Zhao Xiaojing stopped what she was doing and looked over.
With doubts about how heavy the casserole is, and a strange feeling of being forced to do something, Da Zhuang tentatively asked, "Then let me try?"
Geng Mingyan and Hou Guihua turned their heads away and smiled, while the others nodded seriously.
"Use these two gauze pads." Su Yuchen actively took the anti-scalding gauze from the side and handed it over.
Ouyang Yidan secretly took out his cell phone and pointed it at Dazhuang.
Da Zhuang took it, and under everyone's expectant gaze, he used gauze to pad the two pot ears, and used one end to forcefully -
The casserole didn't move at all.
Da Zhuang widened his eyes and exerted his strength again, this time using 100% of his strength.
The casserole moved, was lifted slightly, and left the table—
Da Zhuang's expression was about to break, he quickly pursed his lips, quickly and carefully put down the casserole, and then swung his arms wildly.
Now everyone at the table stopped pretending and burst into laughter. The laughter continued until Da Zhuang sat down and glared at them for a long time before the laughter gradually stopped.
Among them, Lü Hongwen and Wu Kaile were the most arrogant. Lü Hongwen even happily reached out and shook Da Zhuang's hand. "Brother Da Zhuang, welcome to join our group of men who are 'weak and cannot hold a pot'!"
The group of people burst into laughter again.
"I think there's something wrong with you two!" Da Zhuang glared at them.
“This pot is the treasure of our store. Apart from Sister Mirror and the other three chefs, only Sister Comb can cook it!
But you are much better than the two of us. We worked hard for a long time and the casserole was just shaking without even leaving the stove!
Otherwise, why would we two men let Sister Shuzi carry such a big pot?" Lv Hongwen took Dazhuang's bowl and helped him to serve soup, while explaining with a smile. "Drink soup! From today on, you are one of us! Do you want some garlic sprouts?"
"I can add it myself." Da Zhuang took the bowl and looked at the attentive Lu Hongwen speechlessly. He felt indescribable. He never expected that he would become "one of Zhao Xiaojing's own" in this way.
"I know that the chef has strong arms and wrists, but I didn't expect that classmate Su is also so strong, otherwise I wouldn't have come up to humiliate myself." Da Zhuang supplemented.
"I couldn't comb it before, but I learned it slowly with practice. You've been in the kitchen for a long time and you can do it now. It's just a matter of practice." Zhao Xiaojing picked up a piece of mutton and said half-seriously.
Are you kidding? Su Yuchen is the woman she secretly feeds system body strengtheners and practices Tai Chi with every morning.
Although Tai Chi is generally slow to master, and the two have not yet completed the 36-style Tai Chi, the system course is so powerful that their current moves and training procedures are very standard, which has directly skipped the exploration stage and they are making progress every day.
It’s just a casserole, of course it’s not a problem.
"Delicious!" After taking a sip of the mutton soup, Da Zhuang exclaimed, "The smell is so good! Where is this mutton from?"
"I bought the lamb at the market this morning." The others were too busy drinking their soup to talk. Only Zhao Xiaojing was slowly savoring the flavor, wondering in her mind the difference of adding a fingernail less of angelica.
When Da Zhuang heard this, he looked at the mutton in the pot in surprise, and then drank a few mouthfuls of the soup to savor it.
It's not that he hasn't had delicious mutton soup, nor has he never had Jiangcheng's mutton soup, but the former can basically only be tasted in the north when traveling, while the latter is either a thick white soup base with some kind of technology added to it, which smells like mutton but you don't know what you are drinking when you drink it, or it is stewed in a mess and has no taste other than the smell of mutton.
There are some ethnic minority stores in Jiangcheng that have decent mutton soup, but the mutton is also shipped from their hometown, so it doesn’t taste that smelly, but after two or three days of refrigerated transportation, the taste is no longer fresh.
Zhao Xiaojing's bowl of soup is a balance of the two. It has freshness, and most of the mutton smell is removed while retaining just enough, so that you can taste the mutton, but the smell is not so strong that you can't drink it.
The soup is a clear soup with light yellow oil. It is not as visually impactful as the rich milky white soup in some mutton restaurants. Instead, it makes people feel refreshed, just like its taste, refreshing and comfortable.
If you taste it carefully, you will find a light sweetness under the fresh fragrance of mutton. This sweetness is not the simple and direct sweetness of white sugar, but a slightly sweet taste that comes from the fusion of ingredients and seasonings.
Da Zhuang thought about it and took another bite of the radish. He immediately understood. The frost-bitten radish was indeed at its sweet and mellowest, not to mention that there were wolfberries and angelica in the pot, both of which were sweet in themselves.
Da Zhuang drank the whole bowl of soup without realizing it, and his body immediately felt warm. He was still not satisfied and was about to get a second bowl, but he found that although there was still a lot of meat and radish in the pot, there was only a bottom of the soup left. People around him had already started eating white rice.
Da Zhuang was dumbfounded. Even if there were ten of them, there would still be two-thirds of the soup left after each person scooped a bowl just now. How much could these people drink?
No, at this rate, we won’t be able to eat mutton and radishes soon.
Da Zhuang immediately increased his speed and began to blend into the fierce wind and clouds...
After dinner, several shop assistants cleaned the shop. Dazhuang brought a computer and showed the remade video to Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen.
"I think this version is better, with less face showing, and it doesn't feel like filming a heart-throb idol. What do you think?" After quickly browsing the video at 2x speed, Su Yuchen nodded in appreciation and asked Zhao Xiaojing. The straightforward adjective made Da Zhuang on the side silent and deafening. He kept touching his nose and dared not look directly at Zhao Xiaojing.
Zhao Xiaojing on the side didn't notice it at all, she smiled and looked relaxed as if she had completed the task. "I think this version is good too!"
Da Zhuang nodded, "Then I'll send it out tonight? It just so happens that there's no update this week, and Lao Guo is still waiting to send it out."
"Post it. How has the response to your three joint videos been?" Zhao Xiaojing asked.
Guo Gaoang stayed in Jiangcheng for three days. After visiting a few more stores with the two, he returned to Yangcheng, saying that he would first post a few videos to see the effects, and then the three would decide whether to cooperate.
