Chapter 171: Jelly Pudding
In the capital, in the small courtyard where Qiao's family is tightly controlled, even a fly can't fly in, Qiao Pingshan is full of red light, holding scissors in the garden, building more and more vigorous rose branches in summer. 八一§No卍◎novel§?網'、'.'
At his feet, there stood a short little girl, only seven or eight years old, with a face full of unhappiness, and said: "Grandpa, why don't you ask the gardener to change this flower, the flowers in the yard, it is the ugliest, and the flowers bloom for ten days every year, and they are all thorns, and they are all blown up to dingding last time." ”
This little girl is Qiao Pingshan's little granddaughter Qiao Dingding.
Qiao Pingshan smiled more kindly: "Ding Ding, this is a flower that grandpa specially moved from his hometown, when grandpa was still very young, this flower grew in the yard of our Qiao family's hometown, this is the root of our Qiao family." ”
"Forget it, Grandpa has a reason for whatever he does. Qiao Ding Ding chopped off her little feet and looked up at Qiao Pingshan: "Grandpa, then can you promise Ding Ding one thing, a good friend in Ding Ding's class recently, said that she ate a particularly delicious dish last time, which is full of large and small jelly, grandpa, you can also take me to eat." ”
Qiao Pingshan touched Qiao Dingding's face: "Okay, grandpa is in good health now, you can do anything with Dingding." ”
Qiao Ding Ding laughed all of a sudden: "Grandpa is in good health, Ding Ding is the happiest." ”
After washing his hands, Qiao Pingshan asked Qiao Dingding to do his homework, and when he entered the house, he called the life assistant at home, a man in his forties, who looked very shrewd and respectful.
"Ding Ding said that I want to eat a dish that is all jelly, and you go out and buy it. Qiao Pingshan said lightly.
"Old Qiao, I asked Ding Ding about that dish, it is sold in a private restaurant, they don't have a menu, what dishes are served that day, it all depends on the chef's mood, it is not so easy to buy. The life assistant said lightly.
The assistant has worked in Qiao's family for many years, and of course Qiao Pingshan understands what he means. Over the years, Qiao Pingshan has been obscure, no matter how secretly he is, he has done a lot of kung fu on the surface, and he has never allowed his family to mess around outside under the reputation of Qiao's family, and even now Qiao Dingding is at school, no one knows that she is his granddaughter. 八No◎§§卐一¤§Chinese?net? 、.
If Qiao Dingding had to eat that dish, and if he ate it, the child's family didn't know the severity and talked nonsense at school, which would damage Qiao Pingshan's low-key reputation.
Qiao Pingshan showed a faint smile: "It's not what it used to be, if you want to do anything in the future, let her do something." A girl's family can't always be raised like a boy, so you don't have to ask too much. ”
His words sounded plain, but they made waves in the hearts of the life assistants. This is another big change in the Qiao family.
The life assistant slowly withdrew from the door, ready to do the things Qiao Pingshan explained.
At this time, in the Beijing branch of Su's Restaurant, Zhao Kai and Jiang Mingming were staring wide-eyed.
In front of them, there was a pale blue invitation. This invitation is an invitation to participate in the Huaxia Station of the Global Rookie Chef Audition.
"Brother Kai, I'm not dreaming!" Jiang Mingming pinched his round cheeks and said.
"Of course it's not a dream! Quick, call Master and Boss Su. Zhao Kai couldn't stop laughing, and the corners of his mouth were about to crack behind his head.
They never imagined that they would one day receive an invitation to the Global Rookie Chef Audition, although it was from Huaxia Station, but it was also a great event.
Every three years, the Global Culinary Association organizes a culinary competition, which is generally divided into three parts, namely the rookie competition, the young and middle-aged competition, and the official competition.
If you want to participate in the Young and Middle-Aged Tournament and the Official Tournament, you must first participate in the Rookie Tournament and get a ranking before you can participate in the later competitions. As for the young and middle-aged competitions and the official competitions, the difference is very subtle, only the chefs who have been recognized by the association can participate in the official competitions, some people have just passed the rookie competition, and the second competition can enter the official competition, and some people have spent the first half of their lives in the young and middle-aged competitions, and after the age of 45, they are not even eligible to participate in the young and middle-aged competitions.
But in any case, I am very proud to be able to participate in the Global Culinary Competition, even if I don't get any good rankings, because there are so many restaurants and chefs in the world, and less than 1 in 10,000 people can receive invitations every year. 卍八?一§?Chinese§?网,''.,8,1'z-
Just when Zhao Kai was calling excitedly with his mobile phone, the landline in the store rang.
Jiang Mingming walked over and picked it up, and there was a calm male voice inside, and said, "Hello, is it Su's Restaurant?" I want to book a seat for next week. ”
Jiang Mingming looked at the wall clock on the wall, today is Wednesday, and it is true to accept the positioning, but it is not yet half past twelve at noon, so he refused: "I'm sorry, we don't start accepting reservations for the next week until half past twelve at noon every Wednesday, please call back when the time comes." ”
The man on the other end of the phone said, "Now make an appointment for me, and we'll book a seat for Monday." After a while, at half past twelve, I will call on time, my surname is Liu, and the names of the people who come to eat in a few days are registered as Qiao Pingshan, Qiao Xiumin, Zhou Yuxue, and Qiao Dingding. If possible, I hope you clear the field. ”
Listening to the polite voice of the man on the phone, Jiang Mingming's body was a little cold, and now if he didn't know who Qiao Pingshan was, then he would be too stupid. Some time ago, didn't Miss Su specifically inquire about Qiao Pingshan? It seems that Qiao Pingshan wants to deal with them, why is this enemy coming to eat again.
Hung up the phone, Zhao Kai was still talking over there, Jiang Mingming's face was uncertain, and he waited for a long time, finally, Zhao Kai put down the phone, Jiang Mingming said: "Brother Kai, come over for a while." ”
Zhao Kai was about to be praised by Bao Ruwen on the phone, and he was proud, and asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Mingzi." ”
"Brother Kai, let's go out of business. Jiang Mingming said in a heavy tone.
Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "You kid, what do you want! I asked Master, the invitation was given to the Su Restaurant, and the Su family in Xinhai did not receive the invitation, so in this competition, it should be the Master and they took the invitation to participate in the competition, there is nothing to do with the two of us, what should we do when the time comes." Don't say it, this restaurant has opened in the capital, it's different, no matter how delicious our cooking is in Xinhai City, that is, the local tyrant, in this capital, do better, and soon be able to enter the eyes of others. ”
Seeing that Zhao Kai was still chattering, Jiang Mingming said, "Brother Kai! I don't mean to participate in the competition on behalf of the masters. He himself knows that the Su Restaurant in Xinhai City, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, with the two of them, is really not in the ranks, but the problem now is not the competition!
Zhao Kai looked at Jiang Mingming and said, "Then what do you mean!"
"I answered the phone just now, Qiao Pingshan's family wants to book a seat for Monday, and they ask to clear the venue. Jiang Mingming said.
This time, Zhao Kai was also stunned.
Zhao Kai usually has no other hobbies, he likes to watch the news, criticize current affairs, and is a standard keyboard political party. Recently, he has read a lot of gossip, it is said that Qiao Pingshan seems to be menacing, and he has been in the limelight recently, and the most important thing is that the Su family seems to have something to do with Qiao Pingshan.
"I'll call Boss Su again. Zhao Kai was a little wilted.
On the other end, Su Changqing hung up Zhao Kai's phone not long ago, and when he saw him calling again, he smiled and shook his head. This Zhao Kai, didn't he just accept an invitation, as for being so excited, he called one after another.
After connecting the phone and listening to what Zhao Kai said, Su Changqing's face sank slightly.
He didn't know so much about what happened before, everything was handled by Su Ruotong and Zhu Xiaoqi, so he said, "You call and ask Tongtong to see what she says to do." ”
Zhao Kai snorted and dialed Su Ruotong again.
Here, Su Ruotong was at Gao Yumei's house, looking at the computer personnel file with Gao Yumei.
Because the donations from New York are particularly large, and the amount of donations from North America is still coming to the account to this day, it is imperative to open a office in North America. Now they are going to choose a few people who are more proficient in English and can do things.
As soon as Su Ruotong's phone rang, Gao Yumei took the opportunity to say: "You answer the phone, I'll rest for a while, in the end, my body is not as good as when I was young, and my eyes will be sour when I look at it for a while." ”
took the phone to the side, Su Ruotong listened to Zhao Kai talk about the situation, and her face gradually became serious.
"You two close the door of the store first, and go back to Xinhai. Su Ruotong said: "As for the matter of the chef rookie competition, since it is an invitation received by the two of you, the two of you will participate, and you just come back to let your master give training for a while." ”
Zhao Kai never expected that he could finally hear such an unexpected gain from Su Ruotong's mouth, and under great joy, he still declined: "Miss Su, this is not good, whoever participates in Su's Restaurant will not be able to take the turn of the two of us." ”
"I said it's my turn, it's my turn. Su Ruotong said lightly: "Whose credit is whose credit, you don't have to be arrogant, I think you can do it." ”
Hearing Su Ruotong's commendation, Zhao Kai felt happier than hearing his master's praise, and his heart was sweet.
He hung up the phone and told Jiang Mingming about the situation, Jiang Mingming was also grinning happily, and his heart was a lot more stable.
After a while, at half past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the guests here had already served the dishes, and even a table that ate quickly had already finished eating and left, and the landline phone at the front desk began to ring continuously.
Jiang Mingming picked up the phone, and sure enough, it was the person from Qiao Pingshan's house in the morning.
"Hello, I'm sorry, starting next week, our restaurant will be closed, the exact opening time has not been determined, so we will not accept any orders from this week. Jiang Mingming replied politely, and his heart was very happy.
After being in the capital for so long, it is not the first time they have encountered similar things, those dignitaries and nobles have to clear the venue at every turn, charter a table, or ask them to come to the door to serve.
At the beginning, they were quite excited, after all, they were characters from a small place, and they had never seen such a big world. But after a long time, he and Zhao Kai watched coldly, and they also saw some doorways, these people simply treat them as cooks, and they come and go as soon as they are called, back and forth, and they never remember the names of these nobodies.
At the end of the day, they don't have any respect for their cooking skills. This kind of feeling makes them very uncomfortable, and it is even better to meet acquaintances when they are in Xinhai, and people know that they are from Su's Restaurant, and their eyes will light up, and they will be honored as a master!
After replying to Qiao's side, Jiang Mingming put down the phone, and for the first time he felt very peaceful. An Neng broke his eyebrows and bent his waist to deal with the powerful, probably like this!
