A pot of egg broth

Strange recruitment.

Plateau Food*** is a large enterprise with a military background, and the company recently released a strange job posting: a high salary is looking for a chef who can make egg soup.

This is really a big fuss, who wouldn't know egg soup?As soon as the water is boiled, pour in the egg mixture, sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions, add sesame oil, and you're done!In the past few days, from housewives to senior chefs, there are many applicants, but they have all returned. Because people have requirements: in a marching cauldron, only two eggs are allowed, and the egg soup made must be good in color and flavor, and the chairman must taste it himself and nod his head. Doesn't this fool people?But this recruitment information was really proposed by Yang Tongzan, chairman of the company. To say that Yang Tongzan has been drinking egg soup all these years, this is a hobby he developed when he was a soldier.

That year, Yang Tongzan was enlisted on the edge of the plateau, where the natural conditions were harsh, and it often snowed heavily in the mountains, and ** became extremely nervous, but the most terrible thing was altitude sickness. As soon as a guy like him arrives in the mountains, he will also feel dizzy and nauseous because of the lack of oxygen at high altitude, and he doesn't swallow a mouthful of food.

People are iron rice and steel, and it is not okay not to eat it, so the company canteen has a slogan: Eat one bowl to pass, eat two bowls well, and eat three bowls to win. Encourage recruits to eat and overcome the difficulties of high resistance.

On this day, Yang Tongzan trained a little harder, and he made another mistake against him: the temples"Boom"Jumping around, the headache was like it exploded. He was lying on the bed inhaling oxygen, and Wang Tiesheng, the old squad leader of the cooking class, came.

The old squad leader got straight to the point:"What do you want to eat?Yang Tongzan heard it and pouted: The army's sick rice is the same, nothing more than boiling noodles and adding two poached eggs. There are eggs in the warehouse of the cooking class, but the storage conditions are not good, and some of them have changed their taste, and making poached eggs also tastes the same as chewing wax.

Facing the concerned eyes of the old squad leader, Yang Tongzan still said:"If you want to drink fresh egg soup, it is better to be light, otherwise you will be nauseous and you will not be able to drink it. "After saying that, he regretted it again: Recently, even the logistics ** in the company has been unable to continue, and even the supply of drinking water has been limited. In the morning, each person was given a water enamel jar, and the comrades-in-arms squeezed some toothpaste in their mouths, rinsed their mouths with saliva and brushed their teeth, and then swallowed them all with their necks up, reluctant to vomit!

In this case, I want fresh egg soup, which is a problem for the old squad leader.

But when the meal was opened, Yang Tongzanzhen drank fresh egg soup. Not only him, but all of them drank. The soup was the right amount to suit his appetite. Of course, he couldn't have asked for more: for this pot of soup, the old squad leader and many veterans contributed the drinking water rationed.

After that, every once in a while, the comrades-in-arms could drink fresh egg soup, and in gratitude, they also named it"Old squad leader egg soup"。

In the blink of an eye, it's time for the old squad leader to be demobilized. Before dawn on the day of parting, Yang Tongzan quietly got up and went to the cooking class. He wanted to help the old squad leader clean up again and do his comradeship.

As soon as Yang Tongzan turned on the light, he saw a mouse lying on his back on the ground, holding an egg in his arms, and another mouse biting its tail and dragging it out. Yang Tongzan exclaimed:"Mouse!"As he spoke, he touched the shovels and struck them to death.

In this trouble, the old squad leader Wang Tiesheng also got up, and he was furious when he saw this:"Bastard, you did a good job!"Yang Tongzan was stunned and didn't know what to do. At this time, many comrades-in-arms also heard the news and came to persuade them, and the old squad leader was surrounded by his comrades-in-arms to say goodbye everywhere, until he got on the send-off car, and he couldn't say a word to Yang Tongzan again.

Soon, Yang Tongzan was admitted to the military academy and left the company. Later, the original unit was dismantled, and the last link between him and the old squad leader was broken.

Time has passed, many years have passed in a blink of an eye, Yang Tongzan has already changed his career and become the chairman, but recalling the past, he still feels aggrieved: Isn't it just two mice, can you make such a big fire?

Although puzzled, Yang Tongzan was still full of gratitude to Wang Tiesheng: it was the old squad leader who helped him through the difficult years of recruits. He will never forget this love.

See the old squad leader again.

The recruitment has been announced for a while, but he has not found a suitable person, and Yang Tongzan can't help but worry. At this time, the secretary came:"Chairman, there is an old man who has been in the kitchen for many days under the pretext of applying, and insists that the time is not enough. "

Oh, the recruitment has also recruited porcelain!Yang Tongzan smiled bitterly:"What's the name?”

The resume is called Liu Zhengqi and opens a pet shop in the flower market. "The secretary said"He also brought two guinea pigs, saying that he was an assistant. "

What, rats?"Yang Tongzan immediately became interested"Let's go, let's see!"

The group just arrived at the small kitchen of the company for recruitment, and the person in charge of the kitchen greeted them:"Just in time, the candidate said that the time had come and asked to enter the test-taking process. "

Yang Tongzan peeked into the kitchen through the window and saw a chubby back, and the man was muttering:"The eggs used in this soup are particular, and it is hot right now, and it will taste bad if it is late. "

Seeing this, Yang Tongzan nodded at the person in charge:"Let's start, you tell him again, and I'll taste the finished product as soon as possible. "

The person in charge went in and said, the old man was noncommittal"Hmph"Boom and get started. He first hooked the potatoes in a large bowl, knocked the two eggs into the bowl, stirred well, waited for the water in the large pot to boil, turned down the heat, and stirred counterclockwise with a spoon. Then he followed the chopsticks, little by little, clockwise in a circle, and poured the egg liquid into the pot, and immediately removed it from the heat.

The old man continued:"If you add cooking oil, the egg drop is large, and if you want to break it up, add more water. Remember, the water should not be boiled too much, and the egg wash should be poured slowly and steadily. "

The person in charge is also an expert, looking at the layers of egg flowers in the pot, he can't tell the egg yolk and egg white, it is a golden color, he is a little uncalm:"Who did you learn this from?"The old man is not welcome :"Don't think that your certified chefs are omnipotent, and big pot rice is also knowledge. Back then, I was cooking for more than 100 people in the army, and I had to manage enough and save money. "As he spoke, he put the soup in a bowl to flavor it and poured in a spoonful of hot oil. Maybe he didn't think there was much soup in the bowl, so after staying for a while, he added a small half spoon.

Taking advantage of the old man's sideways, Yang Tongzan saw clearly:"Old squad leader!"

It is indeed Wang Tiesheng, although he is in his fifties, the temperament he has cultivated in the army is still there.

Yang Tongzan walked over, took the old squad leader's hand and reported to the door, and the old squad leader reacted:"Good boy, I remember you, I scolded you the day I left the team, haha!"

When he mentioned this stubble, Yang Tongzan didn't know what to say: I blame myself for thinking about what happened back then, but I shot the rats to death at that time, isn't it obvious that the old squad leader didn't do a good job of housekeeping, and the kitchen was mixed with mice?It's no wonder people are angry.

The old squad leader seemed to see Yang Tongzan's thoughts:"Alas, I didn't make it clear at the time, but it wasn't an ordinary mouse. Remember the day you wanted to drink fresh egg soup?This stumped me, because none of our eggs are fresh!At that moment, I was worried when I heard a noise in the Curry......"The old squad leader said that at that time he cautiously walked over and saw that it was two rats stealing eggs. Seeing that they were familiar with the road, he knew that it was not the first time, so the old squad leader quietly followed, and saw two mice coming out of the crack in the door, and he also went out lightly, until he found the egg hiding ground in the slope grass not far from the barracks. It was a piece of sandy soil, which was deliberately mixed with dead leaves and weeds by rats to keep it warm and moisturized.

I remembered the harvest season in the mountains of my hometown, where people were always worried about preserving chestnuts. Regardless of refrigeration and drying, over time, chestnuts will always deteriorate, either insects or mold. Only the aged chestnuts that were dug out of the mouse's nest were the same as the freshly picked ones, indicating that the rats have a knack for preserving things. "The old squad leader said"Thinking of this, I dug two eggs out of the sand nest, hey, it's not a little fresher than Curry!

Egg soup has a secret.

After that, the old squad leader made friends with the rats. To say that those two rats, one of the front paws has a disability, may have been bitten by a weasel. They may have ventured to the barracks to hide from weasels.

Later, I asked the military doctor and found out that this is a gerbil that feeds on grass seeds and does not spread diseases. "The old squad leader said with a smile"It's not easy to think about them, so I let them go. "

Yang Tongzan suddenly realized:"You asked them to help us store eggs!"

And that's not all!Every time a gerbil turns over an egg from a nest in the sand, I know it's time for the egg. "The old squad leader was thoughtful"These little mice are smart, they don't like to eat fresh eggs, they just wait for the eggs to be put in the most suitable time before eating. Because eggs start to ferment after being placed at the right temperature, the nutrients will be easier to absorb. "

Got it!"Yang Tongzan suddenly slapped his thigh"No wonder I had a bite of the egg soup you made!"

Yang Tongzan said that he only learned later that he was a little allergic to egg yolks. In fact, everyone may have an allergy to a certain food, which may not be seen in ordinary times, but in a specific environment, potential allergies will emerge. When he was in the army, he wanted to eat eggs, but he was uncomfortable after eating, so he wanted to drink egg soup, and the egg soup of the old squad leader, the egg yolk and protein blended together, and there was an egg flavor in the mouth, and because of the small proportion of ingredients, the body would not be allergic and uncomfortable.

Yang Tongzan said:"Our company has military orders, and eggs are one of the important raw materials in the military food production, which inevitably has the risk of allergies. If the egg yolk and egg white are separated by manual means to meet the needs of different comrades, the cost is too large and it is not easy to operate. So, I thought about miniaturizing the ingredients while keeping the egg yolk content balanced. "

The old squad leader raised his eyebrows:"It's like the pot of egg soup I used to have"Yang Tongzan said with a smile"Yes, we have strict standards for selecting eggs for military food, but I always feel that it is not in place, I can't help but think of your egg soup, I want to ask you for a secret, study it!"

The old squad leader was happy:"What is my secret?Speaking of which, let's use rats as teachers!"Yang Tongzan listened, nodded again and again, he saw the soup bowl on the stove, took a sip of it, and couldn't help but praise:"Yes, that's the taste!"But he had just taken a second sip, but"Ouch"With a bang, I was burned in the mouth.

The old squad leader remembered something:"Ouch, blame me!"Just now he scooped the hot soup into the bowl, immediately poured hot oil on it to seal the heat, and then poured a small half spoonful of cold soup on top. In this way, the top bite is warm, and the bottom can be all hot.

Originally, after the old squad leader retired from the army, the pet store opened well, and he was not interested in applying, but this recruitment movement was particularly big, and after he heard about it, he thought it was a trick of profiteers to fool people, so he reported a fake name to apply, and wanted to take the opportunity to teach profiteers a lesson.

The old squad leader smiled and patted Yang Tongzan's shoulder and said"Tongzan, you are good, you have left the army, and you are still thinking about the army!"

Yang Tongzan looked at the old squad leader and said seriously"It was you who taught me, saying that there is a famous saying in the barracks, called'Regular soldiers play logistics'Although I have left the army now, as long as I can still do something for the barracks, even if it is a logistics thing, I must do it well!"
