Four Hundred and Thirtieth Chapters Feasting

Wearing a coat and a mask, Lu Yiyun came out of the apartment she rented with a digital drawing tablet on her back. She stepped on the snow, lowered her head and passed by the early morning office workers and students, and went straight to Qiyuan Pet Store. . The increasingly regular work and rest schedule gave her a little self-confidence, and she felt that she was no longer a useless person who stayed in the house all day.

When she came to the door of the store, as soon as she opened the door, she could smell a fragrant smell in the store.

"Wow, it smells so good, what delicious food is the store manager doing?" She swallowed uncontrollably and couldn't help asking. Everyone generally eats lightly in the morning, and it is rare to smell such an attractive aroma.

"The beef stew with potatoes just out of the pot, do you want some?" Zhang Zian asked while wearing an old apron, picking up the beef with chopsticks into the double-layered lunch box.

After returning last night, he went to the supermarket again, bought a few bags of beef brisket and potatoes, went to Uncle Li's shop, and asked about the cooking method of beef stew with potatoes. Add cinnamon and other seasonings back. After waking up this morning, he simmered slowly according to the method taught by Uncle Li, because it is easier to control the heat, for a rookie like him. Before Lu Yiyun came in, he had just turned off the fire and started cooking.

"Beef stew? Mr. Store Manager, aren't you going to make a movie? Don't you care about food on the set?" Lu Yiyun put down the digital drawing tablet and tried to divert her attention. After all, it's a little bit... …

She seldom eats goulash because it is time-consuming, and she is the kind of person who forgets herself when she paints. It is not suitable for this kind of diet that requires long cooking, but this does not mean that she does not like it.

"It's about the food, but the food is very poor. The key is that there is no meat. It's almost as good as nothing." Zhang Zian neatly arranged the beef cubes and potato cubes on the larger layer of the double-layered lunch box, and then picked up a few more. A small bag is stuffed into the smaller layer.

"What's that? Sauce?" She asked curiously.

"It's not sauce, you can't eat it." Zhang Zian threw a bag at her.

She took it in a panic, and took a closer look. On the bag was written the words "heat pack for food, please do not eat".

"I bought this from a nearby outdoor goods store. I bought a large bag at once, which is enough for several days. The time for lunch on the set is uncertain. What time to eat depends entirely on the mood of the director. The bento at noon yesterday was cold. It's so bad, it's hard to eat." Zhang Zian explained.

It is cold in winter, and the food cools too quickly. The beef is hot when it comes out of the pan, and it is already warm when you put it in the lunch box with chopsticks. Zhang Zian thought about it, even if he used a heavy thermal insulation lunch box to pack the beef, it might be cold by one or two o'clock in the afternoon, so he simply packed it in a light and ordinary lunch box, and used a food heating pack to solve the temperature problem. At that time, you only need to pour some water into the lower layer of the lunch box, and you will be able to eat warm goulash with potatoes in a few minutes.

"Mr. Store Manager is amazing, you can think of this!" Lu Yiyun said admiringly.

"I can think of this because I bought a self-heating bento as a taste of the early adopters before. Let's not talk about whether it is good or not, at least I can really eat hot rice."

Zhang Zian stewed a large pot of beef stew with potatoes, filled four lunch boxes and still had a lot left.

From the moment the smell of beef stew wafted out of the pot, Femas and the two police dogs were attracted by the smell and became restless. Femas can still maintain a reserved attitude, and the two well-trained police dogs will not show salivation, but the frequent glances at the upstairs kitchen have already explained everything.

However, when Zhang Zian came downstairs with the pot in hand, it was the Snow Lion who jumped over first.

"Meow meow! I want to eat beef!" It said bluntly, "Do you know how hard it is for me to endure missing beef every day?"

As it said that, it jumped up, looking at this posture, it seemed that it wanted to eat enough from the pot. It's a pity that it has short legs and poor motor nerves, and it didn't jump over Zhang Zian's knee after jumping for a long time...

"Meow meow! What are you doing with the pot so high? Believe it or not, I smashed your knee with a punch?" Snow Lion threatened angrily,

However, its appearance is too sweet, and it has a special charm when it is angry, and it is not scary at all.

"There is salt in this pot of beef, you cats can't eat it. If you want to eat it, there is still some uncooked raw beef brisket left, do you want to eat it?" Zhang Zian easily bypassed it, completely ignoring its threat .

"Raw... raw beef brisket?" Snow Lion's saliva was already flooding. In the description of "Jin Ping Mei", the snow lion likes to eat beef the most, and it is raw beef. However, since it came to the pet shop, it has been eating grilled chicken breast and fish with Fina. When it hears raw beef, it almost dies of hunger up.

"Where is where? Where is the raw beef brisket?" It drooled and asked, not caring about its own image.

"It's upstairs. If you wait obediently, I'll bring it to you in a while, otherwise..." Zhang Zian's threat was more effective. Although Snow Lion scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, he didn't dare to act rashly.

He bought a lot of raw beef brisket this time, not only to stew it for Femas and the two police dogs, but also to feed the raw beef brisket to the cats in the store. For cats, it is better to eat some raw beef regularly, which can supplement amino acids, strengthen their physique and muscles, and make their fur smoother and smoother.

But not all cats can eat raw beef. Kittens under three months have imperfect gastrointestinal functions, so it is best not to eat it. High-quality finished cat food or cooked chicken breast is more suitable.

There are also some cats who are born with sensitive stomachs and don't like to eat raw meat. Fina is probably like this. She doesn't even care about raw meat, and she doesn't eat it when it's put to her mouth.

As for the reason why the old tea does not eat raw meat, it is because it thinks that drinking blood is the act of unruly and rude barbarians, and Chinese patriots who are crowned with etiquette should avoid it.

The biggest trouble with eating raw beef is to consider the problem of parasites, so what Zhang Zian bought this time was not fresh beef brisket, but imported frozen beef brisket just taken out of the supermarket freezer, frozen at minus 20 degrees for more than 72 hours, basically The threat of parasites can be minimized - although regular deworming is required.

Zhang Zian only intends to feed the raw beef to Snow Lion and the seven Abyssinian cats, but not to the kittens sold in the store. One reason is that the kittens are all around three months old, which is not suitable for them. Feed raw meat; the second is that the probability of parasites in frozen raw meat is very low, but it cannot be completely ruled out after all. trouble as well.

When Zhang Zian was putting beef into the lunch box, the snow lion kept walking around him, but he didn't dare to make any noise.

He checked it, then fastened the lid of the lunch box, turned it over again to see if there was any water leakage, and after confirming that there was no problem, he put the four lunch boxes into a backpack. He was going to carry the bag to the set today.

"Get your chopsticks." Seeing that Lu Yiyun was still in a daze, he urged.

She was startled, understood what he meant, quickly shook her head and refused: "No, no...how dare you..."

"If you linger any longer, the beef will be cold, and it won't taste good when it's cold." Zhang Zian knew that she was shy and couldn't save face, so he couldn't help but say, and put a bowl for her and himself, "I'll put this pot Here, don’t clean up for now, let Wang Qian and Li Kun eat the rest of the beef when they come. If you don’t eat it, the meat will be all cheap to them.”

Lu Yiyun recalled how Wang Qian and Li Kun devoured their food, swallowed again, and said embarrassedly, "Then...then I'll eat a little..."

At this time, the beef was neither cold nor hot, and the temperature was just right. It was stewed in a pressure cooker until it was soft and glutinous, almost melting in the mouth. Coupled with the seasoning combination prepared by Uncle Li for him, Zhang Zian, a rookie in cooking, can also cook a master-level taste. After the potatoes are cut into small pieces and stewed, they have fully absorbed the essence of the beef soup, and the inside is hot and slightly hot when you bite into it.

In fact, Lu Yiyun had already eaten breakfast, which was light oatmeal porridge. She had a small appetite, but she ate up the whole bowl of potato and beef stew in one breath, and even burped a little. , There are fine beads of sweat on the tip of the nose...

"It's delicious! Mr. Manager's craftsmanship is awesome!" She put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and praised sincerely. The only regret is that although it doesn't taste very salty, it would be better if it can be eaten with a bowl of white rice...

"Do you still eat? There is still enough in the pot." Zhang Zian asked.

"No, no, I won't eat, I'm so full, I feel like I don't need to eat at noon..." She waved her hands in a panic, her face turned red. She lifted Jasmine out of her bag, shyly covering her face with it.

"Okay, don't be polite if you want to eat." Zhang Zian glanced at Jasmine, and added: "Let your cat eat some raw beef today, it will be good for your health."

"Huh? Raw beef?" Lu Yiyun was taken aback again, she had never thought of giving cats raw meat.

Zhang Zian didn't explain for the time being, and he didn't eat his share right away. Instead, he poured three bowls for Femas and the two police dogs, and put them on the ground.

"Femas, Chilong, prince, come and eat! I read the script, today's filming work is very heavy, and I can't hold on until my stomach is full." He waved at Santiao German Shepherd.

Femas came over first. It used to prefer to eat medium-rare steaks. Other than that, it had only eaten tomato goulash, but it seemed that it had never tasted oriental style goulash with potatoes. It lowered its head and sniffed, and tried to taste it. The soft muscle fibers and plant starch immediately conquered its tongue.

Chilong and the prince hesitantly followed behind it. Fimas ate a few mouthfuls and whispered to them a few times, and they immediately came over, snorting and feasting.

It wasn't until this moment that Zhang Zian picked up his bowl and savored the fruits of his labor.

"Fuck! It's delicious! Do I want to change my career to be a chef?" 8
