Zhou An didn't go directly to stop Zhang Honglin and Wang Zhen and his wife, he didn't even move, An An sat firmly on the electric tricycle, watching them come out of the exit of the Regent Hotel, watching them ride the broken bicycle across the road where he was.

Stable as a dog.

I don't know who invented the phrase "safe as a dog", maybe we should add a word -- "stable as a dead dog", because a living dog is not stable.

Anyway, Zhou An didn't go over to talk.

It's not that he doesn't have the impulse, but reason tells him that it's not a good way to get acquainted.

Many people's impression of a person depends on the first impression of the first meeting.

Once the first impression is formed, it is too difficult to reverse it.

He imagined in his mind the consequences of going straight to the conversation.

Scenario 1:

"Hello two! You're Zhang Honglin, you're Wang Zhen, right? I'm the boss of Raging Crayfish, can we find a place to talk?"

Zhang Honglin and Wang Zhen looked at him like two people.

Wang Zhen: "Are you insane? We don't know you, please let me go!"

Zhang Honglin: "Yes, please let us go! Don't delay our time, okay?"

……

Scenario 2:

"Please stay, please excuse me, can you delay you for a few minutes?"

Zhang Honglin stopped the bicycle, and Wang Zhen looked at him strangely, "Who are you?

Zhang Honglin looked at him and watched.

"May I ask you are Chef Zhang Honglin, right? I have heard your name for a long time, let me introduce myself, I am the owner of the rampaging crayfish in the food street, I want to open a branch now, I want to ask you to be the head chef, the treatment is good, you see...... Can we find a place to talk?"

Before the words fell, Zhang Honglin and his wife looked at each other and smiled, Wang Zhen: "Lao Zhang, let's go! I'll go back and wash my clothes!"

Zhang Honglin chuckled: "Okay, let's go!"

Then he ignored him and passed in front of him on a broken bicycle.

……

The above two scenarios were the pictures he imagined in a short moment, although if he really passed at this time, the situation might not be the same as he imagined, but reason told him that it was embarrassing to pass like this, and it was extremely unlikely that he would get a good outcome.

What's more, he came here this time to wait for the rabbit, just to find out if Zhang Honglin's wife is currently working with Zhang Honglin.

Now that the situation has been clarified and the goal has been achieved, why bother to make any more extraneous branches? There is obviously a better way to get acquainted.

As for what is a better way to get acquainted?

That evening, after having a working meal, Zhou An beckoned to Qu Yanyang and motioned for her to come with him outside the store.

Qu Yanyang went out with him suspiciously.

As soon as she walked out of the store, Zhou An turned around and asked her, "Sister Qu, let me ask you something, didn't you work as a lobby manager in the Regent Hotel before, do you know Master Zhang Honglin and his wife Wang Zhen in the back kitchen?"

He has many years of experience in cooking, and knows the lobby manager of the average hotel, and he will deal with the chef in the back kitchen almost every day.

For example, if a guest has a special request for a certain dish, the lobby manager will generally go to the back kitchen to communicate with the chef in person.

But he also knew that Qu Yanyang had not been working at the Regent Hotel for a long time, and he might not be able to figure out which chef's name was.

Really......

Qu Yanyang frowned and shook his head, "I don't know, I may be a little impressed when I see a real person, but I don't know who the chefs in the kitchen are, if you ask me what the head chef of the Regent Hotel is called, I can tell you." ”

Zhou An was a little disappointed and nodded at her, "Okay, since you don't know each other, forget it, I'll ask Master Tan!"

Qu Yanyang was stunned, "That's right, Master Tan has been doing it over there for a long time, he should know, hey, you should ask him this question, why waste time with me?"

"Well, I'll go ask him, okay, you go get busy!"

Zhou An smiled and didn't explain to her.

There are some reasons that are inconvenient to proclaim.

For example, one of the reasons why he didn't ask Tan Guang first was that Tan Guang and the head chef of the Regent Hotel were both from Guangdong Province.

Although Tan Guang first entered the Regent Hotel, he applied for the job by himself, and was not recruited by the chef's personal relationship, but after all, Tan Guang had worked under the chef for a short time, and with the relationship between his fellow villagers, he may not be much different from the chef's descendants.

And he was going to dig up Zhang Honglin this time, he wasn't sure if Tan Guang would reveal the news to the chef if he let Tan Guang know about it?

Although in terms of character, he is willing to believe in Tan Guang.

But if Qu Yanyang knew Zhang Honglin, why did he have to go through Tan Guang?

But just now Qu Yanyang had already said that she didn't know who Zhang Honglin was, since that was the case, then he could only take a little risk.

With his eyes rolling, Zhou An made up his mind, walked into the kitchen unhurriedly, and shouted to Tan Guang, who was wearing an apron on the stove, "Ah Guang!

"Hey!"

……

The two came to the kitchen door, Zhou An took out a cigarette and lit it, and Tan Guang followed, "Anzi, what's the matter?"

Zhou An smiled, flicking the ashes, "It's not to find a replacement for you, Ah Guang! You can also see my situation, I am not very old, and I haven't opened the store for a long time, so a good chef, to be honest, I really don't know anyone, I have thought about it carefully, our Yinma County is so big, there are only a few high-grade hotels and restaurants, and most of the chefs with good skills are estimated to be in those stores."

I have no way out of the other shops, so I just came to you to recommend a few to me! Didn't you work at the Regent Hotel? You must know the chef there better than me, hehe, I just don't know if you would recommend it to me?"

"Huh?

Tan Guang's face was stunned.

"Why?

Zhou An asked with a smile.

The abacus in his heart crackled, and asked Tan Guang to recommend him to see if there was Zhang Honglin among the candidates recommended by Tan Guang.

If Tan Guang agreed to recommend, but there was no Zhang Honglin among the recommended candidates, it could only show that Tan Guang did not really recommend it for him.

Because according to common sense, it is impossible for Tan Guang to recommend several other Cantonese chefs, after all, those Cantonese chefs are all descendants of the head chef, and the possibility of poaching them is close to zero.

If Tan Guang recommended Zhong Yifu, or the Hui cuisine chef, then he would have to consider drawing a line with Tan Guang in the future.

Zhong Yifu was the master of his previous life, and he had the skills to make seafood, but his personality and character were definitely a pitfall, if Tan Guang recommended Zhong Yifu to be the head chef of his new restaurant, it would definitely hurt him.

As for the Hui cuisine master, he is mainly responsible for staff meals in the Regent Hotel, and his cooking skills cannot be said to be bad, but he is definitely not close to excellence.

If Tan Guang recommends this person, his mind is just as impure.

He asked Tan Guang to recommend candidates, and there was another consideration: if Tan Guang took the initiative to recommend Zhang Honglin, then Tan Guang had no reason to tell the chef that he was going to dig up Zhang Honglin afterwards.

Because that is tantamount to Tan Guang betraying himself.
