The Network under the Bright-Bright Sky

Right at the entrance of the subway station is the heaven of the hawkers, with quite a lot of them selling fruits. 4 mangoes for 10 RMB is a really good deal, isn’t it? I bought 9 with 20 bucks, good and tasty! It’s real lucky that I didn’t get diarrhea.

Even I love mango, but will eventually get bored after having 9. At the same time, the word “Mango Pudding” appears in my head, then why not going to make some? I have the mango…now what?

Who ever mentioned that Shanghai seldom get snows? It is forecast that we will have a full week snowing. Keeping warm is the main focus now, North Face, heaters, whatever!

The table between the boss and the admin. assistant is always filled with snack. Some days ago, a new bottle of chewing gum has been bought to replace the empty one.

And this time the packaging is really interesting, mimicking how the old MarkSix drawing machine works, I mean the old that looks like a little Typhoon.

還有生菜、白菜、大白菜、娃娃菜、黃芽白…

還有紅燒、干燒、黃鱔、白鱔…還有一些地道上海菜的名字。

事源是一間相熟餐館要擴張營業換新菜譜，某天光顧的時候，老闆娘就問我們能否出手相助，幫忙把中文的菜譜翻譯一下。這幾天我實在太閒，所以就答應了。

還好這個世界有Google和Wikipedia，花了整個周末總算譯了一遍，再跟老闆娘確認一下菜式就算大功告成。

這間小小的餐館真是越做越旺，我們也有幫忙訓練一下這班員工呢。上一鍋湯，從數個月前從來不會拿湯舀，即使吩咐一下也有可能拿出一個個人餐具用的湯匙，到今日 (8月20日) 會自動自覺把湯舀送上，也許這就是能夠在這人跡穻至的商場強大起來的原因。

周日係日本餐廳嚐過冷麵之後，靈機一觸平時都可以自己下廚煮來吃。之前聽哥哥說煮蕎麦麵跟煮即食麵都差不多，所以才會燃起這個念頭。「心動不如馬上行動」，既然要做，就要做全套，吃畢晚飯後即到超級市場去添置材料。

家中的廚房什麼都沒有，第一次添置材料的投資真是略有點大。$15.8一支500毫升的萬字豉油真的不知道何時才可以用盡。超市就連鵪鶉蛋都有售，這高尚貴價超市果然是名不虛傳。採購完畢，共銀$38，只要吃兩次就可以抵得上在店裏的消費。

豉油完來要差不多要10份油1份水才正常，剛開始時還倒出了很多豉油，試味除了苦了舌頭之外，還浪費掉了。在電視上，薑一拍就碎……我一試就拍飛了，還是狠狠的猛剁算了，原來打機chok掣的技巧在這裏都用得著。麵真的是無難度，只要煮到自以為覺得可以，就真的可以撈起來冰鎮。至於鵪鶉蛋只要慢慢剪下來便行，本來還以為講求什麼技巧。

花了半小時後，上碟～

很別緻的配料…………就是為了爽這一下……
