Chapter 33: The Fragrance of Golden Cinnamon
At half past six in the morning, Su Ruotong prepared a bento and went to wake Tao Xian up.
Tao Xian got up and rubbed his face at the same time, a little sleepy. He wanted to go to bed earlier last night, but the biological clock for going to bed late had been formed, and the more he wanted to fall asleep, the more he couldn't sleep, and he didn't fall asleep until more than three o'clock in the middle of the night.
If it was just him and Su Ruotong going to Happy Valley, he could sleep until half past eight, and now he had to go to school to pick up her friends in advance, and he had to go out at seven o'clock.
While thinking about it, Tao Xian was unhappy in his heart, and he had already labeled Lin Jing and others, who had never met before, as "nasty people".
Especially after a few little girls got in the car, they were already crowded, and they kept chattering, eating snacks in the back seat, and even holding Su Ruotong's hand to communicate with her about skin care and makeup, which made Tao Xian even more unhappy.
Originally, this was a double journey between him and Su Ruotong, and there were so many light bulbs at once, and he was demoted from the actor to the porter at once, which was too big.
After playing for a day, when he came back in the evening, Tao Xian was simply on fire, and he didn't look forward to the trip to the town the next day.
Because Su Ruotong has some wounds on her body that have not completely healed, she is not suitable for many intense projects, and she is not very tired today, and when Lin Jing and the others arrived at the dormitory, Su Ruotong called them.
"Brother Tao Xian and I are going to play in the nearby ancient town tomorrow, do you still want to play together?" asked Su Ruotong.
"No, no, you two are so energetic, my throat is almost hoarse today, and I have to rest for two days. ”
"You have a good time with Tao Handsome guy, remember to show us the photos when you come to school. ”
On the other end of the phone, the person in Lin Jing's dormitory said nonsense.
"Well, then you guys have a good rest. Su Ruotong said.
Tao Xian has been wandering around, pricking up his ears to eavesdrop on Su Ruotong's phone call, listening to Su Ruotong's meaning, those girls will not follow, and he can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking of the romantic scene of the two of them roaming hand in hand from the osmanthus tomorrow.
When it was time for dinner, Chef Charlie and Su Changqing, who had been busy all day, came back, and Su Ruotong had already cooked and was waiting for them.
"Daddy, let's eat. Su Ruotong said.
Usually whenever Su Ruotong cooks, Su Changqing is very appreciative of his face, three bowls at a time, without raising his head. But today he was obviously worried, a pimple twisted in his brows, and the pace of eating slowed down.
"Dad, what's going on?" asked Su Ruotong.
"Oh, nothing, it's just that I'm a little worried about two heavyweights coming to the hotel tomorrow. Su Changqing loosened his neckline, but still felt that his throat was dry.
He only received the news in the afternoon that at the opening banquet tomorrow, Lin Xinfei was going to bring the chairman of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce and his wife to dinner.
Su Changqing knew that this was a great opportunity to make Su's Restaurant famous, but it was also a very difficult challenge.
The chairman of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce has not eaten anything, can the food of the Su family enter his blue eyes?
Su Ruotong sighed, and was also a little worried about Li Hongxing and Bao Ruwen, and said, "Then I won't go out to play tomorrow, I'll go to the kitchen and keep an eye on it." ”
Su Changqing waved his hand: "You go play, if there is anything, Dad will solve it by himself." ”
The father and daughter fought back and forth, but Su Changqing refused to agree to Su Ruotong. Tomorrow will be a tough battle, even if he is a big man, it is estimated that he will be so tired that he will shed a layer of skin, how can he make his daughter suffer. When the situation of Su's catering stabilized, he asked his daughter to come over and slowly cultivate him.
Tao Xian listened to the conversation between the father and daughter, and his heart went up and down, for fear that tomorrow's date would be in vain again, and his heart was like a cat scratch, which was extremely uncomfortable. In the end, seeing that Su Ruotong finally stopped insisting, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and lowered her head and sandwiched a piece of fried small yellow croaker made by Su Ruotong, which tasted great!
The next morning, Su Ruotong and Tao Xian drove towards the town and came to the toll intersection of the expressway, but found that the intersection was not open, and dozens of cars were parked there, waiting for the high-speed passage.
Tao Xian inquired with the driver in front of him and found out that there were two cars in an accident on the highway in the morning, one of which was a large truck, which burned up and blocked the road, and was dredging, and he didn't know how long it would take to get it done.
Su Ruotong was actually worried about Su Changqing's side all the time, afraid that something would happen, and said, "Then we won't go, okay?"
"Wait, I guess it's going to be half an hour in the next half an hour, you see, everyone else is waiting, I see a lot of them going to the town to play." Tao Xian comforted Su Ruotong: "If you feel bored, you can get out of the car and take a walk." ”
Su Ruotong stuck her head out of the window and looked at it, so she went down for a walk, so as not to numb her legs.
After about twenty minutes, just as she was standing on the side of the road and looking into the distance, a woman's surprised voice sounded: "Tongtong, why are you here!"
Su Ruotong looked up and saw Chu Yuhu.
As soon as Chu Yuhu's car arrived at the highway intersection, she immediately jumped out of the car and trotted all the way to Su Ruotong: "Last time, my mother wanted to say a few intimate words to you, but your father abducted you." He's not going to be here today. As she spoke, she pretended to look around.
Su Ruotong didn't believe that she didn't know that Su Changqing couldn't leave when Su's Restaurant opened today.
"You follow me. Su Ruotong said calmly.
Otherwise, how could they be stuck in traffic here with their front feet, and Chu Yuhu would follow with their back feet.
Chu Yuhu's heart darkened, how could this kid tell the truth! However, she was not in the mood to follow Su Ruotong, it was all the people of the Wei family who were following Su Ruotong, yesterday Su Ruotong went to Happy Valley to play, and the people of the Wei family also knew, but at that time, the eyeliner reported that they were a group of six people, and some words were not good to say in front of too many people, so they didn't ask Chu Yuhu to come forward, and today is a great opportunity.
Chu Yuhu said: "You kid, what is your mother following you for." You can't even afford to say a few words to your mother? ”
The atmosphere between the mother and daughter was awkward, Tao Xian had been looking at this side, recognized Chu Yuhu, honked the horn, and saw that Chu Yuhu had no intention of leaving, and pulled the car door to walk over to this side.
Chu Yuhu saw that people were coming, and made a long story short, and said: "Tongtong, do you know? You had a car accident last time, it was not that simple, it was a person named in the provincial capital, who asked the Wei family to do it." There is a power in the capital behind that detail, and if you want to do a seafood restaurant chain in Xinhai City, you have already planned to buy Su's. ”
Chu Yuhu told Su Ruotong what she saw on the crumpled A4 paper in one breath, and the content on the paper was incomplete, and she knew that was all there was to it. Seeing Su Ruotong's disbelief, Chu Yuhu immediately said: "You can ask your father, is there someone who has been looking for him to buy a restaurant some time ago, and you will know that what I said is true or false." ”
At this time, Tao Xian also came over, and Chu Yuhu turned around and left like a rabbit.
Back in the car where he came, a muscular man asked Chu Yuhu coldly: "What did your daughter say?" Is the recipe on her?"
"I kept asking her about the recipe, and she still wouldn't let go, but I listened to her tone, and it wasn't as tight as the previous times. But she sarcastically said a few words to me, and I am afraid that she was already suspicious of me. Chu Yuhu was full of lies, obviously she didn't say any recipes to Su Ruotong just now.
The macho man nodded and believed Chu Yuhu.
Su Ruotong was a little confused in her heart, and she was no longer in the mood to go to the town, so she said to Tao Xian: "Brother Tao Xian, let's go back." I want to go to the restaurant. ”
Tao Xian didn't expect to meet Chu Yuhu here, presumably Su Ruotong was in a very bad mood now, so he lowered his voice and said thoughtfully: "Well, let's go find Uncle Su." ”
It was almost noon, Su Ruotong and Tao Xian arrived in the kitchen.
On the first day of opening, except for the dozen or so tables that had been privately accepted, other customers could only try their luck at the store to see if there was a table.
At this time, it was only half past eleven, but there were already dozens of guests sitting in the hall outside who were waiting to turn over the table.
The foreman who maintained order in the lobby, looking at such a prosperous scene, was excited and wanted to cry, how many years have passed, and Su's Restaurant has not had such a prosperous scene.
Su Ruotong and Tao Xian walked through the crowd, from the working elevator to the kitchen, Bao Ruwen and Li Hongxing were cooking with dozens of cooks.
Everywhere is a busy and busy, the voices of people are boiling, the small helper has a big basin on his head, which is a freshly washed clean green vegetable, the cold vegetable master is under the knife, knocking and chopping all kinds of ingredients, and there are apprentices they bring next to him, holding tools to make a large number of seasonings, in front of the stove, from time to time there is a "whew" fire that jumps high, and when the ingredients are exploded, they will be pressed down by the pot lid.
Fish-killing, chicken-slaughtering, vegetable picking, pot-washing, and serving dishes...... Everyone is busy like a spinning top with their feet on the ground, but everyone has hope and a smile on their faces.
Feeling the real smell of fireworks and the positive atmosphere in the air, Su Ruotong slowly disappeared because of the depression brought by Chu Yuhu. Seeing that everyone was doing their own duties here, and that she had nothing to help with, she gently closed the door and walked out into the hallway.
A female foreman hurriedly ran over and said into the walkie-talkie in her hand, "What? President Yu wants to eat that white jade chrysanthemum flower?" I will go to the kitchen immediately and ask Master Bao and Master Li if they can make it. ”
The dish of white jade chrysanthemum was the first dish Su Ruotong made in Su's Restaurant, and she later taught Bao Ruwen and Li Hongxing. But this dish looks simple, but in fact, it is very elegant, with the guidance of a famous teacher, plus more than ten years of water grinding work, it can be made decently.
To make this dish, the knife can't be half a minute faster, because the knife itself has to be fast, and the heat generated by friction will change the taste of tofu. It can't be too slow, too slow and the tofu will be chopped.
In short, Bao Ruwen and Li Hongxing tried to make it hundreds of times, but they just wasted a few hundred pieces of tofu.
Su Ruotong secretly said in her heart that it was dangerous, but fortunately she came to the scene today.
Without waiting for the female foreman to walk into the kitchen, Su Ruotong stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her: "I'll do it." ”
The female foreman was stunned for a moment and looked at Su Ruotong: "Miss Su......"
The dish of white jade tofu, with Bao Ruwen's mouth cannon talking about it again and again in the kitchen, has now become a legend of the Su family, of course, this female foreman knows that only Su Ruotong can make it, and she can't help but secretly say thank God.
Su Ruotong entered the kitchen, found an empty counter at random, picked up a heavy kitchen knife, and chose a piece of tender tofu.
She pondered carefully, and suddenly showed a smile: "Although the chrysanthemums are blooming well now, but the time has come for the osmanthus flowers! After a while, the white jade chrysanthemums I made will be sent to President Yu's side, you go to steam an egg custard, and I will also make a golden cinnamon fragrance, and there are eight guests in each station number today, and a golden cinnamon fragrance will be sent for free." ”
