Chapter 18: Xiao Long Bao

When Zhou Ming saw this job posting, he had been idle in Baowan Town for three or four days, and was racking his brains to find a way to avoid surveillance and steal the ripe corn in the field, this job posting changed all the plans in his mind. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's like I've never been a professional chef in all my gaming life......"

During this period of life, I didn't expect to start as a chef.

Squeezing through the somewhat crowded crowd, Zhou Ming walked towards the store and said, "I want to apply for a kitchen job." ”

……

Inside the Gujia Hotel.

Gu Naihui, who has interviewed thirty or forty applicants, has eliminated all the others except for a somewhat silly 17-year-old boy who has been retained.

Half of the eliminated candidates were over 18, and half lied to her questions.

Her brother is a medical student, and he has a bone age measuring instrument, and anyone's actual age can't hide the scanning of this machine, and her brother also studied psychology and got a senior psychological counselor qualification certificate.

Even if there are a few who are eligible and don't lie to her, Gu Naihui still eliminated him, she doesn't like smart people very much, she likes stupid ones, after all, she didn't let those applicants plan to stay in the Gu Family Hotel for a long time, and wait for the money to arrive......

"18 years old, proficient in cooking, with a family, all in the lower class...... You're coming from the lower level?"

After learning about the personal situation of the applicant in front of her, Gu Naihui was taken aback, this guy's background is too special, he actually came from the lower area, what did he do before?

Gu Naihui's heart was full of all kinds of questions.

Zhou Ming nodded and said: "I came from the lower district, I used to help my mother cook when I was a child, so I have a deep understanding of cooking...... Speaking of these, he couldn't help but think of his mother Hongyan, who has been separated for more than two months, is my mother okay now?Why am I suddenly a little homesick......

Listening to him talk eloquently for a while, the lie detector has not moved at all, believing that what he said is basically true Gu Naihui, although she didn't hear any questions, her intuition told her: This guy can't ask for it.

The tone of his voice and the unique temperament that vaguely exudes from his body do not look like an 18-year-old teenager at all, giving her a feeling that she can't see through.

"I'm sorry, the previous applicant, I'm almost optimistic, there are two people I think ......"

Zhou Ming suddenly got up and interrupted her: "That's it, I'll make an egg fried rice for you to taste, take me to the kitchen, and give me another five minutes, since it's recruiting kitchen workers, it's impossible to even need a basic cooking demonstration, right?"

Gu Naihui opened his mouth and retorted wordlessly, his younger brother Gu Naifeng nodded, took him to the kitchen, and gave him a chance to show his cooking skills.

After a sound of "clang, clang", sure enough, in less than five minutes, two plates of steaming, fried golden egg fried rice were placed in front of the two sisters and brothers of the Gu family.

The aroma of fried rice makes you can't help but swallow two mouthfuls of saliva, and the fried rice with all the color and flavor makes you appetizing.

Gu Naifeng took a bite with a spoon and put it in his mouth, only chewed it a few times, then gave Zhou Ming a thumbs up, and said to Gu Naihui: "Sister, just recruit him, his fried rice is better than Dad's fried rice." ”

After saying that, he buried his head and devoured it.

Gu Naihui, who couldn't help but swallow twice in her throat just now, also picked up the spoon, and after tasting the fried rice on the plate, her face had a complicated expression, but she didn't express any objections.

In this way, Zhou Ming and another honest young man named "Jin Dazhuang" successfully applied for the kitchen work of the Gujia Hotel.

……

A day later.

After learning about the grim situation faced by the Gujia Hotel, Zhou Ming, who enjoyed the treatment of eating and lodging without spending money, of course did not want this kind of day to end in just a few days, he hoped to live a stable life.

So at the staff meeting, he suggested to Gu Naihui:

"Now if you want to pull back the flow of customers, you can only use two strategies, first, low price, lower than the price of meals in Dujia Restaurant, in the case of slightly worse taste, let those customers who want to save money, return to Gujia Hotel to consume; Second, develop new dishes, improve the taste of dishes, and make delicious dishes comparable to intelligent kitchen robots, no, it is better than the taste made by machines!"

"Two strategies, I suggest the second one, research and development of new dishes! Strive to develop a few popular dishes before the harvest arrives, now the time is very tight, we should hurry up and take action!"

There is only about a week left before the agricultural harvest in Baowan Town, and the number of migrant workers in Baowan Town will reach the maximum, which means that business opportunities cannot be missed!

Gu Naihui glared at him, and said expressionlessly: "It's easy to say, have you ever eaten the dishes made by robots? You have also developed new dishes, and the taste is comparable to that of smart kitchen robots? Are you a three-year-old child, can you say such childish words?"

"You have to try it, how do you know if you can do it if you don't try it......?"

Zhou Ming didn't say any more, because Gu Naihui, who was opposite, began to stare at himself with eyes full of anger.

Her younger brother Gu Naifeng said: "Sister, what Tie Qiang said makes sense, why don't we listen to him give it a try, didn't we taste the dishes he made yesterday?" The taste is very close to what my father cooked, and Tie Qiang said that he has many ways to improve the taste of the dishes, the traditional cooking techniques of the Gu family, there is still a lot of room for improvement, the Gu family restaurant, it is indeed time for a big change......

It turned out that when Zhou Ming was cooking dinner yesterday, he found that in the kitchen, in addition to oil, salt, wine, vinegar, sugar, cumin powder, fresh powder and other more than a dozen kinds of seasonings, such as monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sauce, spices and other seasonings, there are very few types, especially the chili powder with high spiciness, and there is no trace of it.

Therefore, although the science and technology of this world is a lot ahead of the earth, in the field of cooking, compared with the food country where Zhou Ming is located in the real world, which has developed for more than 5,000 years, it cannot be said to be backward, but there is still a lot of room for improvement, or in other words, there is still room for enrichment and expansion.

The meals made by the smart kitchen robot are indeed very delicious, but that's it, Zhou Ming even thinks that it is not as delicious as the five-star chefs on the earth, and the standardized things have a weakness, that is, they are easy to get tired of eating, such as Kang Shuaifu instant noodles, the first time I will think it is very delicious, but I have eaten it many times, and I may smell that smell and want to vomit.

"That's enough, don't say it again! It is impossible for people to cook more than machines, don't waste your efforts! I'm going to the city later, you keep the restaurant, and other things, I'll talk about it when I come back!"

As the person who speaks second only to the store manager in the store, Gu Naihui's decision, not to mention her younger brother, even her mother, can only nod and obey.

In the afternoon of the same day, Gu Naihui took a car to Yaoxing City, and did not tell everyone what she was going to do, and she left for two days.

So in the past two days, Zhou Ming was given a certain amount of room to operate, he took the consumption card on his body, and went to the street to buy flour, pork, leeks, Shallots and other ingredients came over, and then went to the hardware store, ordered a few aluminum alloy steamers to come over, and spent the credit points on the body clean (the working capital of the Gu family restaurant is all in the hands of Gu Naihui, if you want to do experiments, you can only spend your own money), and then with the consent of Gu Naifeng and his mother, he slightly transformed the kitchen, and prepared to make the same food that the intelligent kitchen robot can never make - xiaolongbao.

The intelligent kitchen robot can cook rice, stir-fry, make soup, barbecue, and bake bread, but its internal space is limited.

Not to mention, in this world, there is no such food as steamed buns, steamed buns, and xiaolongbao.

"I've never eaten anything so delicious, what's it called, xiao long bao, pork soup xiao long bao? delicious, so delicious, Tie Qiang, the people in your hometown are so smart that they can invent such a genius food." Gu Naifeng gobbled it up while giving a thumbs up!

"Xiaoqiang, can you give me the practice of xiaolongbao, our Gujia Hotel can let you stay here forever. Gu Naifeng's mother Zhang Peizhen said, looking at him with a longing face, hoping that his top-secret cooking skills could stay in the Gu family restaurant and help the Gu family come back to life.

"Delicious, delicious ......"

Jin Dazhuang, a colleague who entered the Gujia Hotel with Zhou Ming, only buried his head in eating steamed buns, one bite at a time, he was not afraid of being hot at all, his hands were full of oil, the juice was splashing, and he couldn't stop eating, and Zhang Peizhen on the side frowned.

Zhou Ming took a dinner cloth, asked Jin Dazhuang to wipe his mouth, and then told him to eat a little slower, Xiaolongbao (this kid has been busy with him for a day today, he will do whatever he asks him to do, he doesn't seem to know how to be lazy, but he is big and has a large amount of food, Zhang Peizhen doesn't like him very much, and often complains to his daughter, how did he recruit someone who is so good at eating to come in), and then turned to Zhang Peizhen and said:

"Auntie, the practice of xiaolongbao is not difficult, if you want to learn, I can teach you, and the things I will make, not only xiaolongbao, I will have many things, as long as you support me, everyone believes in me, I must have a way to bring the restaurant back to life, and it will get bigger and bigger!"

"Okay, good, support, we all support you!" Zhang Peizhen clapped her hands and laughed, in her eyes, she already regarded Zhou Ming as a treasure.

"Brother Qiang, I have a lot of confidence in you now, and I support you!" Gu Naifeng is about to become his brainless fan, because xiaolongbao is so delicious.

"Brother, I also support it. Jin Dazhuang, who was immersed in eating xiaolongbao, regarded Zhou Ming as his brother.

……

Early the next morning, everyone got up early, and then was busy making xiaolongbao, steamed, put it at the door of the store to sell, and allowed each customer to try one, the first time to taste this delicious, found 6 credits, you can eat 10 xiaolongbao, and then give a big bowl of corn porridge, this morning, xiaolongbao sold out, sold more than 300 cages, and went to the opposite Dujia restaurant to eat breakfast, less than one-third of this side.

In the breakfast battle, the Gujia Hotel won a big victory!
