Huang Cheng stirred the rice mixed with chicken broth, scooped it up with a spoon, and slowly stuffed it into his mouth.

The sweet chicken broth and the delicate aroma of the rice are blended together to completely conquer his taste buds.

Teeth collided with teeth, and the elasticity of rice grains provoked a cheerful waltz on the tongue, Huang Cheng no longer paid attention to gentleman, picked up a spoon and stuffed it into his mouth with a mouthful or two.

The expression of joy slowly faded, and a touch of sadness spread in his eyes.

"Mr. Huang, what's wrong with you?" Zhong Yangfang asked softly.

Qiao Zhi was also taken aback, could it be that there was a problem with the food, it shouldn't be!

Huang Cheng wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said movingly: "This meal reminds me of the chicken soup made by my mother." When I was a child, I was generally poor, and it was not easy to eat pork, let alone chicken? I liked to eat chicken soup and braised fish made by my mother, and in addition to me, there were two younger brothers and a younger sister at home, and my mother always gave me chicken legs to eat, so that she and my father could eat them, and they always said that they had eaten them. Although we children are small, we are very good at eating, and we often eat a pot of chicken soup cleanly......"

"Pity the hearts of parents all over the world. Mr. Huang, you are now considered a success, and you are fully capable of repaying the two old men. Zhong Yangfang comforted.

Qiao Zhi sighed beside him that Zhong Yangfang's EQ had suddenly become low, Huang Cheng's parents must have died, otherwise, how could he be so sad?

Huang Cheng was sad, "My dad left early, and my mom also died of illness the year before last." ”

The son wants to raise but does not wait, which is a big regret in life.

"Ah, what a pity. Zhong Yangfang was stunned.

Qiao Zhi whispered beside him: "Mr. Huang, since the chicken soup has the taste of mother, why don't you wait for an appointment to invite your brothers and sisters to come to me as guests, and I will make you Nongfu Spring chicken soup again, how about it?"

Huang Cheng's eyes lit up, and he thought: "Yes, I haven't gotten together with them for several years, your proposal is very good, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, how about setting it for tomorrow?"

Qiao Zhi secretly thought that Huang Cheng was too anxious, he smiled awkwardly, shook his head and explained, "We officially opened to the public on the fifteenth of this month, or it will be set on that day." You can see the situation outside, but it hasn't been cleaned up yet. ”

Xu Hexiang laughed out loud next to him and said, "When I came in just now, Mr. Huang and Producer Zhong had concerns and felt that the level of eating here was not high enough. If you want me to see, Mr. Huang invites your family to dinner, or it is more appropriate to wait for the decoration here. ”

Huang Cheng smiled awkwardly at Zhong Yangfang, "Okay, then it's set on the day of opening, so that Boss Qiao can have a personal show." ”

"Mr. Huang still calls me Xiao Qiao. George said modestly.

Zhong Yangfang said with a smile: "I also want to book a table, and invite friends or family members to taste Xiao Qiao's craftsmanship when the time comes." ”

Huang Cheng and Zhong Yangfang are both experienced social people, and their eyesight is so powerful.

With this chicken soup, Qiao Zhi can fully gain a foothold in the catering industry.

Even Huang Chengdu had the impulse to partner with Qiao Zhi to open a restaurant with a higher grade and positioning, as long as it is properly promoted, it will definitely be able to make a reputation.

Qiao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, originally he planned to use this dish to completely conquer Xu Hexiang, and let him wait for the day he opened to bring more guests over to cheer.

Unexpectedly, Huang Cheng and Zhong Yangfang were full of praise for this dish and indirectly achieved their wishes.

Huang Cheng called his secretary in front of Qiao Zhi and asked him to mark the family dinner on the itinerary, and also arranged for the secretary to pay a deposit to Qiao Zhi.

Of course, Qiao Zhi would not accept a deposit with Huang Cheng, and there was no negotiation as for the standard and price of the day's meal.

To get along with people like Huang Cheng, you have to be emotional, if it involves money, it is too vulgar.

Ding Chan observed Qiao Zhi chatting with the guests, although he was young and seemed to be all the big people with status on the other side, Qiao Zhi was not stage frightened at all, and he could talk about any topic.

She has a lot less worries in her heart, Qiao Zhi is really not a straw bag of rhetoric, she has her own ideas when she makes any decision, and she has a very strong plan.

"Do you use mountain spring water to stew chicken soup?" Xu Hexiang deserves to be a gourmet, and asked the key in one sentence.

"Yes, the mountain spring of Xuanwu Mountain. Qiao Zhi gave Xu Hexiang a thumbs up, "Convincing." ”

Ding Chan subconsciously glanced at the direction of the kitchen, the water that Qiao Zhi poured into the clay pot was poured out of a jar, but he didn't expect there to be this mystery.

Xu Hexiang said strangely: "As far as I know, several springs with good water quality in Xuanwu Mountain are all forbidden areas, and ordinary people can't enter them. ”

"If you want to cook something that no one else can do, you have to pay a price. Qiao Zhi smiled.

In order to get those few cans of mountain springs with excellent water quality, he suffered a lot, endured the pain in his abdomen, and entered the forbidden area from the mountain trail, and it took seven or eight hours before he succeeded.

He knew that if he wanted to impress a top foodie like Xu Hexiang, he had to work the details.

The chef and the gourmand battle it out are on full display in this deceptively simple chicken soup.

Xu Hexiang felt Qiao Zhi's sincerity and recognized his dedication to food.

Xu Hexiang took a few more sips of soup and touched his chin and pondered for a long time.

On the surface, it looks like a chicken soup, but there is a lot of work in it, in addition to the water quality, there is also a special flavor in the soup, which he can't tell with his experience, it should be Qiao Zhi's exclusive secret recipe.

"You save some stomach, I still have to fry a few side dishes, don't you run out of food then." Qiao Zhi smiled at everyone and walked towards the kitchen, and not long after, the sound of ignition and oil explosion came from the kitchen, as well as the smell of dishes that seemed to be absent and addictive.

Qiao Zhi put a few small stir-fried dishes on the table, although they are all home-cooked dishes, even if the taste is not as good as Nongfu Spring chicken soup, it is enough to make a few people eat heartily.

Huang Cheng and Zhong Yangfang couldn't help but eat two more bowls of rice.

Huang Cheng patted his round belly and said with a smile: "I haven't eaten so much for a long time." ”

Zhong Yangfang burped and laughed at himself: "Most of the time, I am full of beer, liquor, and foreign wine, and I almost forgot what it feels like to be popped up by rice." ”

Seeing that Huang Chengyou was about to take the initiative to pack the meal, Xu Hexiang stopped him and said with a smile: "Although the food is delicious, you can't overeat, eating too much will hurt your body." ”

Huang Cheng rolled his eyes at Xu Hexiang, and said angrily: "I don't know your bad intentions yet, but you want me to keep a thought." Okay, I'll save a few more bowls of rice next time. ”

Zhong Yangfang said with a smile: "I am convinced, wait for a bath, drink tea, play golf, I have all the dragons." ”

Huang Cheng took the initiative to invite Qiao Zhi, "Is Xiao Qiao free?"

Qiao Zhi put down the chopsticks in his hand and hurriedly refused: "Not long before the official opening, I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I won't go with you." ”

Xu Hexiang glanced at Huang Cheng and Qiao Zhi lightly, and secretly thought that Qiao Zhi's affinity was good. Huang Chengneng invited him to participate in a private event, indicating that his inner acceptance of Qiao Zhi was related to Qiao Zhizhi's efforts to make touching food.

Qiao Zhi beckoned the three of them to leave and returned to the kitchen, Ding Chan was washing the dishes, although she was slow to do things, she handled things meticulously, and the dishes were wiped as good as new.

After packing everything, Ding Chan was ready to leave and go to the hospital to visit her mother.

Qiao Zhi stopped her and handed her a thousand yuan in cash, "I will advance it to you first, and it will be deducted when the salary is paid." ”

Ding Chan hesitated, lowered her head, and said stubbornly: "I still have some money." ”

"Take it, people must learn to use all their resources in a desperate situation, so that they can quickly get out of the quagmire. Self-esteem is worthless when it falls into the abyss. Qiao Zhi put the money on the table and left decisively.

Ding Chan was silent for a few seconds, and carefully put the money into her wallet.

She is Qiao Zhi's employee, and it seems reasonable to advance her salary.

Qiao Zhi is so good to Ding Chan for two reasons.

The most important reason, of course, is that Ding Chan is very beautiful, she is the school flower of the vocational and technical college, if you want to be an Internet celebrity canteen, in addition to food, you have to add elements worthy of hype and publicity.

Now that short videos want to make a person popular, it is obvious that women are faster than men.

To be realistic, if Ding Chan looked ordinary, Qiao Zhi would not have invested so much blood in her.

Another reason is that Qiao Zhi and Ding Chan have been together for so long, he can feel the tenacity in Ding Chan's heart, and he has a feeling of sympathy.

Deep down, Qiao Zhi hopes that someone can help him financially and spiritually.

He wanted to become Ding Chan's pillar and help her through the most difficult time.

The effect of Nongfu Spring Chicken Soup was good, which made Xu Hexiang completely recognize his cooking skills, and also brought two potential customers on the opening day, but it was only one step away from his plan.

He wants to build the canteen into a restaurant with a monthly turnover of more than one million within three months, otherwise, according to the contract, Tao Nanfang will be eligible to take back the management and operation rights of the canteen.

Huang Cheng, Xu Hexiang, and Zhong Yangfang stripped naked.

Two of them lay in the bath and covered their faces with towels and took a bath, and one lay on the leather bed to enjoy the scrubbing of the bath master and wipe his back.

"I had an idea to open a restaurant with Little Joe. The canteen he built is too petty, and with his cooking skills, he can open a star-rated restaurant. Or, Mr. Xu, will you help me pull the thread?" Huang Cheng squinted his eyes, used a towel to pluck the hot water on his body, and said relaxedly.

Xu Hexiang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Huang, I'm afraid this thing won't work." ”

Huang Cheng frowned and said: "I will give him fifty percent of the dry shares, he doesn't have to pay a penny, he is fully responsible for management and operation, I will never interfere, will he still refuse?"

Xu Hexiang sighed and said, "If you know who his mother-in-law is, I'm afraid you will know the difficulty." ”

"Who?" Huang Cheng's gossip heart suddenly rose, and he sat up straight in the bath.

"Tao Nanfang. Xu Hexiang said with a smile.

"It turned out to be the tigress, when I didn't say. ”

"Didn't you come to Qiongjin from Yanjing this time at the invitation of Tao Nanfang?"

Huang Cheng buried his face directly in the water, and it took a while for him to surface, and his little hair was attached to his head, which looked ridiculous, "Tao Nanfang is really prescient, and with such a capable son-in-law, the Tao family's restaurant group will not have problems for at least twenty years......"

He suddenly looked forward to this meeting between the four families of King Cao and Huang Tao!
