Chapter 153: The First Guest
After lunch, Shen Hanyang opened the door of the store and was ready to welcome the guests.
Fei Yuqing changed into a neat suit and tie, looking like a professional lobby manager.
Huang Huihong also came prepared, and went to the house in advance to put on his chef costume.
Shen Hanyang looked at the dress of the two, and couldn't help but feel a little painful, and complained: "What are you two doing here, little brother, do you think we are a Western restaurant, and Master Huang, what kind of chef outfit do you wear as a waiter?"
Fei Yuqing said with a smile: "My mother said that wearing formal clothes shows more respect for the audience, so for decades, I have been wearing suits and leather shoes on the show. ”
Shen Hanyang reluctantly accepted his reason and followed to look at Huang Huihong.
Huang Huihong shrugged helplessly: "The program team asked me to be a chef to help you, who knew that suddenly I would become a waiter." ”
Shen Hanyang looked at the director thoughtfully.
Since the guests who came to help the field have already started, it is definitely impossible to only come to this issue.
So, they'll often come here to help in the future, right?
Well, the director team still has a bit of a conscience, so I'll treat them to the leftovers in the future......
I don't take it to my neighbors as dog food.
The director didn't know what Shen Hanyang was thinking, but when he looked at him with a smile and a smile, he responded with a smile and followed the command to take up the positions of the cameramen.
More than half an hour later, when Shen Hanyang and the others were about to doze off, a hunchbacked old man of seventy or eighty years old walked in.
The old man was dressed in a Mao suit, with a pair of old cloth shoes under his feet, and his face was wrinkled, and he looked like he could kill flies.
Glancing at the people in the room, the old man showed a hint of retreat on his face, and was about to turn away.
Shen Hanyang suddenly cheered up, got up and shouted: "Stop him! If you dare to run, close the door and let the dog go, if you don't have a dog, let the little brother go!"
The old man was so frightened that his body trembled!
Fei Yuqing glared at Shen Hanyang viciously, then changed his smiling face, and walked quickly to the old man: "Old man, walk slowly, you are here to eat, our small shop has just opened, there are all kinds of dishes, cheap and affordable, unique taste, I guarantee that you have tasted it once and want to come a second time!"
The old man looked at Fei Yuqing's kind smile, breathed a sigh of relief, nodded at him with a forced smile, and then looked at the menu hanging on the wall.
"Oh, your food here isn't expensive, so let's eat it here. ”
The old man hesitated for a moment, smiled at Fei Yuqing, Shen Hanyang saw this, and then said with satisfaction: "That's right, how can it be so easy to get out when you enter my door, little brother, you help him sit down, Ah She, send two taels of small village chiefs to the guests, free of charge." ”
She Shi hurriedly agreed, went to the wine shelf, took down a bottle of wine, and poured him a wine cup.
The old man nodded to her slightly and said, "You can cook Sichuan food here, can you make mapo tofu?"
Shen Hanyang said with a smile: "I can do it, it's not written on the menu, because you are the first guest, give you the privilege of ordering food, and if you want to eat something, I will make it for you if you have the ingredients." ”
The old man looked at Shen Hanyang in a little surprise and said, "Can you make dandan noodles?"
"I can do it, just wait. Shen Hanyang sighed, and walked towards the kitchen after speaking.
The old man nodded and thanked him, "Hard work." ”
Fei Yuqing looked at the slightly embarrassed old man, sat on his right side with a smile, and chatted with him about family life: "Old man, why do you come out to eat alone?"
The old man pinched his fingers and smiled embarrassedly: "I have been a bachelor all my life, and I will live by myself when I am old." ”
Fei Yuqing sighed, and quickly changed the topic: "You like to eat Sichuan food, you came from Sichuan and Chongqing." ”
The old man just wanted to speak, Shen Hanyang said in the kitchen: "Definitely not, he doesn't have a Sichuan-Chongqing flavor in his accent, and the old people who love to eat Dandan noodles are almost all from poor families, he should have run the rivers and lakes and lived in the Sichuan-Chongqing area." ”
The old man smiled and said, "Good eyesight, I did a little business when I was young, and I stayed in Sichuan and Chongqing for two years. ”
Fei Yuqing glanced at Shen Hanyang with a little surprise, retracted his gaze, and continued: "Old man, you should have a lot of experience, can you share any interesting things with us?"
The old man picked up the wine cup, took a sip lightly, and said, "Then let me tell you the story of a friend of mine." ”
Shen Hanyang pouted in the kitchen and said, "That friend is you." ”
The old man paused slightly, and looked at Shen Hanyang in the kitchen with a complicated expression.
Shen Hanyang laughed and said, "You go on, I'll cook my dishes!"
The old man sighed silently, took a sip of wine, and then said: "When I was young, I made some money by running the rivers and lakes and opened a grocery store in the mountain city. On the opposite side of my shop is a little girl who sells tofu, and I often go to her stall to buy tofu, and I like her as soon as I come and go. ”
She Shi said with a gossipy face: "Are you together?"
Shen Hanyang interjected: "Don't interrupt, if they are together, can he still fight for a lifetime?"
She Shi glared at him slowly, and then closed her mouth honestly.
The old man sighed, with a look of reminiscence on his face, and continued: "She is very beautiful and kind-hearted, seeing that I am alone outside begging for a living, no one to take care of, after selling tofu, she often comes to cook for me, and mapo tofu is the dish she most often cooks for me." ”
"I felt that she also had a good impression of me, and expressed her feelings a few times intentionally or unintentionally, but she prevaricated the past. But after that, she still came to my shop often and cooked for me, so I couldn't figure out what she was thinking......"
"Until one day, she came to my shop in a hurry, handed me a letter, told me that someone would come to pick it up, and before I could ask questions, she ran away. ”
The old man's eyes showed a hint of sadness, and he drank all the wine in the cup, and continued, "I have not seen her again since that day. It wasn't until after the liberation of the mountain city that the organization found me and asked me about her. I handed the letter she had entrusted to me to the Order, only to learn that it contained a list of undercover operatives left behind by Secrecy agents. And she had long been secretly imprisoned by the spies and died on the eve of the liberation of the mountain city. ”
The restaurant was shrouded in a sad atmosphere, and everyone was silent for a while, at this time, Shen Hanyang walked out with the prepared mapo tofu, put the plate on the table, and said: "Eat it while it's hot, mapo tofu is authentic only if it's hot." ”
The old man slowly picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of tofu and sent it to his mouth, chewed it twice, and said with bright eyes: "This is the taste, it looks like the taste she made!"
Shen Hanyang said confidently: "That's your illusion, the master who taught me Sichuan cuisine is a native of Shancheng, and his cooking skills have been surpassed by me in a month, and your lover's cooking is definitely not as delicious as mine." ”
The old man smiled and said, "Maybe, but in my heart, the mapo tofu she makes is always the most perfect." ”
Shen Hanyang shook his head slightly, and said to Fei Yuqing, who was moved: "Why are you stunned, a total of thirty-five yuan, go to the account! Don't be moved to get free of charge when you hear a story, I will open the door to do business!"
The emotion in Fei Yuqing's heart was immediately shocked, he glanced at him with a smile, stood up and walked to the counter.
