Time comes and goes in a hurry, waiting for no one, as if in the blink of an eye, it will be Tanabata.

At four o'clock in the morning, before dawn, Su Yi got up and prepared to go to the hotel.

After 10 consecutive days of publicity, many people said they wanted to come to the restaurant for dinner. The cook's task is heavier, and she has to help. It is necessary to get some roasted vegetables, stews and soup dishes in advance, and you can't leave behind broken fish, meat cuts, and vegetables.

You also have to boil millet porridge, corn porridge and sweet potato porridge, steamed buns, steamed buns, dumplings, flower rolls, tamales and rice, and you can also start steaming.

Many people in the Public Security Bureau and the city party committee said that they would go to the restaurant for breakfast, so as not to go too crowded at noon and night.

The person from the criminal police team went to Xiao's house in person the night before yesterday, greeted Su Yi, and asked her to make them a hearty breakfast, and prepare a few more meat dishes, the amount of dishes is larger, they will take the lunch box to pack, and wait for it to be steamed and eaten in the canteen of the Public Security Bureau at noon.

Xiao Yi's several leaders, although they did not come to Xiao's house in person, repeatedly told him to ask Su Yi to cook a few more meat dishes in the morning, and they also had to pack them.

Many leaders of the municipal party committee also expressed the same demand.

This is the result of the hard work of Director Hao and Section Chief Fan.

Of course, there is also the credit of the Xiao family's banquet. Many of the leaders of the municipal party committee have gone to Xiao's house to have a wedding wine, and they have been waiting for the opening of the restaurant for a long time.

Director Hao and Section Chief Fan had previously reminded the leaders and colleagues of the municipal party committee that they would come to the hotel today to consume special discounts. But at noon and in the evening, the business of the restaurant is expected to be very good, and it may be a long time to go to the meal, so it is better to go for breakfast.

If you want to eat, ask someone to make a lunch box and take it away.

So it created a situation where Su Yi had to go out at four o'clock to take the lead in busy work.

Under the vigorous publicity of Yan Er and others, more than 300 teams of couples or couples have booked lunch and dinner respectively today. And, for the next six days, at least 50 groups of guests booked tables at noon and evening every day.

Su Yi was so excited that she didn't sleep much last night, if it weren't for Xiao Yi pressing her and forcing her to lie down for a while to recuperate, she would have remembered to go to the hotel at zero o'clock.

Xiao Yi was afraid that Su Yi would not be able to keep busy, so he got up with her, rode her to the hotel, and went into the backyard together to help wash and chop vegetables.

Xiao Yi's knife skills still needed to be honed, and Su Yi only asked him to peel the potatoes and lettuce, then cut them into pieces and wait for them to simmer for a while.

All kinds of dried mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, fungus, etc., have been soaked in water last night, and now Yingzi and Daya are responsible for cleaning them with water, and then tearing them into small pieces or strips.

Su Yi poured the cleaned millet, corn crumbs mixed with rice, and sweet potato crumbs mixed with brown rice, respectively, into three large steel pots filled with eighty percent full of water, and sat the steel pots on the stove, so that Wang Laidi, the daughter-in-law of Hong Daman, the chef who washed ginger and garlic on the side, watched it, and stirred it with a spoon every once in a while, so as not to get the rice on the pot.

Lan Zhi is skillful, and he is now pinching flower rolls, wrapping buns, and dumplings in front of the desk.

Su Yi walked over to take a look, and the package was not bad. She praised Lan Zhi and told her to keep this state and hand speed, continue to pack, and don't stop.

Before, Lan Zhi studied with the white case chef Ye Shan for seven or eight days, specializing in how to make flower rolls, dumplings and buns, and after a few days, the wraps were already very good-looking, and he also practiced speed.

Ye Shan was very satisfied with her, saying that she was a little talented and willing to work hard, and told Su Yi that she would leave Lan Zhi in the back kitchen and be an apprentice for him. After a while, he taught her how to mix noodles, wake up noodles, ramen noodles, and make dim sum.

Su Yi crossed the orchid branch, walked to Ye Shan, who was kneading the dough and rolling the dumpling wrappers at the other end of the long case, and asked him, "Master Ye, how is it?

"It's done. Hayama twisted the hem of his waistkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Su Yi's gaze slipped over his desk, "The dumpling wrappers have been rolled out enough, I see that the flower roll dough in Lanzhi is running out, you can get some that." Don't skimp on the sesame oil and the stun, and go to the cupboard to get it yourself when you run out. ”

"Okay!" Hayama especially liked the arrogance of their boss. He was most satisfied with Su Yi's lack of cardinal ingredients, the materials he used were all the best, and he always told him to let go of his hands and feet. Not to mention, Su Yi also taught him many creative recipes before, and the salary was also high.

Ye Shan has decided that as long as Su Yi opens a store for one day, he will follow her for one day.

Bypassing Hayama, Su Yi passed through a small door and entered the small kitchen specializing in stir-frying and cooking.

In the kitchen, Fu Hong Daman, who has been cooking Sichuan cuisine for more than ten years, and his senior brother Bai Hongbing are busy shirtless.

The gray undershirts on the two of them were stained with sweat, and in some places they were very dark in color.

Bai Hongbing's daughter-in-law, Liu Cui, lit the fire under the stove, listening to the command of Hong Daman and Bai Hongbing, pumping firewood for a while, adding firewood for a while, and controlling the fire.

Liu Cui used two things, and also took two bamboo baskets to fold cowpeas and green beans.

Liu Cui's face turned into a fiery red, her body was constantly sweating, she buried her head for a long time and her neck was sore, and she raised her head to move her neck.

Seeing Su Yi, Liu Cui raised her hand to wipe her sweat, and greeted Su Yi honestly: "Boss, here! We got up at half past three and cleaned up the fish." Just now, my family and the Daman brothers have already cooked two pots of braised pork, and now they are making sauerkraut fish and boiled fish. ”

"Hmm. You've worked hard. ”

The kitchenette is backlit, the windows are small and open high, and the light is very dim. Su Yi saw that they were lighting kerosene lamps on the stove and in front of the cutting board, and did not turn on the lights. I pulled down the light cord and turned on the light, and the room instantly lit up.

"Master Hong, Master Bai, blow the kerosene lamp. Kerosene lamps have a smell, and after ordering them for a long time, they are infected with this smell, which affects the appetite very much. ”

Su Yi stood at the door and smiled: "Besides, the kerosene lamp is dim, you may not be able to see clearly when you cut vegetables, everything is in hand, but what can I do?" I know that everyone is saving costs for me, thank you for thinking about me." But the lights must be turned on. Don't use kerosene lamps in this house in the future. ”

"Okay. ”

Su Yi said to Bai Hongbing and Hong Daman: "Two masters, after boiling this pot of fish, then burn the pot of crispy meat and tuotuo meat." Put some white beans I soaked before I left last night in the crispy meat, and add some lettuce cubes and shiitake mushrooms to boil together. Put some sprouts, shredded kelp and vermicelli in the meat, and pay attention to seasoning. ”

"Got it. The two responded to Su Yi and continued to cut the shredded meat and slices of meat that would be fried in the pot later.

Su Yi went out to cut shredded potatoes, shredded fungus, shredded lettuce and shredded kelp. After a while, you will use them to stir-fry vegetables and mix cold dishes.

The eldest girl and Yingzi worked hard and quickly finished the work at hand, Su Yi gave them the task of shredding, and asked them to shoot some garlic paste, cut some shredded garlic, shredded ginger and chopped ginger pieces out for later use.

She went to get her own tamales and steamed pork ribs.

After Xiao Yi finished cutting the vegetables, he was arranged by Su Yi to chop firewood.

……

At seven o'clock, it was already dawn. Pei Yurong came to work on time and opened the door of the shop and several windows facing the street on the first floor.

When she saw that there were no guests, she first took a handkerchief and wiped down all the tables, chairs, benches, and windows upstairs and downstairs. It was a concrete floor, and I cleaned it with a semi-wet topaz.

After a while, Su Yi came out, took out a few vases and potted plants under the counter, and took out the flowers sent by the old farmer just now, and began to fiddle.

She wiped the potted plants directly and placed them on the table, and the flowers were pruned and tossed, and the vase was placed in the center of each table upstairs and downstairs.

Su Yi was afraid that the guests would take away the potted plants and flowers, and specially posted a piece of paper at the door to remind the guests not to touch the flowers and potted plants, and she also told Pei Yurong, the eldest girl, and Yingzi to pay attention to the potted plants and flowers on each table, and if they found that any guests had damaged them, they had to compensate according to the price.

At 7:40, the first guests arrived—from the criminal police and the industrial and commercial department.

The first is Pan Gongzi and Xiao Zou Gongan, the two foodie brothers.

Xiao Zou Gongan also brought his daughter-in-law here today, ready to rely on the advantages of husband and wife, order more dishes, leave some for lunch, and then bring some back to the old house, and enjoy it with his parents and siblings at home at night.

Xiao Zou Gongan has thought about it, and he will bring back the dishes to the old house in the evening, and ask Su Yi to ask someone to get them for him at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, when there is no one in the store.

So that you don't get stuffy.

Now the sky is big, the average temperature in Zhanjiang City during the day is between 34 degrees and 40 degrees, in the office is fine, the blazing sun in the field scorched people stunned.

Pei Yurong saw that there were guests coming, and one of them was still a police officer in uniform, with a smile on his face, and beckoned them to sit down. Tell them that the menu is hanging on the wall, and give them a small notebook at the table, telling them to write down what they want to eat. If you don't want to write the name of the dish, just write the number after the name of the dish.

The people of the criminal police team of the city bureau all sat at a large round table. Xiao Zou Gongan was the first to grab the notebook, stared at the wall for a few seconds, with his outstanding memory after special training, he picked up a brush and wrote down a row of numbers, he was afraid that one dish would not be enough to eat, and asked Pei Yurong, who was standing on the side: "If you want to order more of the same dish, do you just write the number of servings after the number?"

"Yes. After Pei Yurong finished answering, she was called by Director Hao to another table.

Director Hao and the people at the table had all gone to Xiao's house to eat wine before, and they admired and coveted Su Yi's craftsmanship very much!

They didn't eat much last night for breakfast this morning. Now they are so hungry that their chests are pressed against their backs.

Director Hao's nose sniffed the fragrance wafting from the backyard, and the sour water in his stomach was rising. He asked Pei Yurong to ask someone to quickly order steamed buns, dumplings, flower rolls, noodles, millet porridge and side dishes, and wait for them to fill their stomachs first, and then order the dishes to be packed for lunch.

Pan Gongzi was originally ordering big dishes, and the newspaper number was written by Xiao Zou Gong'an. Hearing Director Hao say this, they also shouted: "Give us one copy of what Director Hao ordered, no, two copies!"

Order two servings first, and then order again when you don't have enough to eat. They don't eat as much as the people who sit in the office of the industrial and commercial department.

After Xiao Zou and his daughter-in-law Lili came in and sat down, she shook her head and looked at the storefront on the first floor. She saw that the layout of the store was neat and generous, although the tables and chairs on both sides were placed relatively close, but there was a wide enough passage in the middle, even if there were many people, it would not be crowded.

In addition, in the center of each large round table and square table, there is a small verdant potted plant, or a vase full of flowers.

I don't know how to put that flower, and from different angles, it has a different beauty. Lily wanted to learn from the flower arranger, so she set up the table at home in the same way.

The decoration of the whole store is particularly fresh and elegant, whether it is tables, chairs, benches or walls and floors, everywhere is clean and reflective, which is called a little literary and clean Lily, who loves cleanliness, especially likes.

She held Xiao Zou's hand and praised it: "This store is really well decorated." I'm willing to come every day for this decoration! Is that flower planted by our sister-in-law? It's so beautiful!"

"Daughter-in-law, look at the menu on the wall and order food. Observe what decoration and desktop! Can you eat those?" Xiao Zou Gong'an, a rough foodie, is very moodless and has no level of appreciation, "It's better to be early, let my sister-in-law get them early." So as not to lose time, we will have to go to work in a while. ”

Lily didn't say anything, the smile on her face disappeared for a moment, and she pursed her lips and twisted the tender flesh on the inside of Xiao Zou's arm a few times.

Pei Yurong heard Lily ask about the flowers, and said to her with a smile: "It was our boss Su who made it." If you like, you can take the handful of flowers on the table with you when you leave. We still have a lot to prepare. ”

Section Chief Fan heard Pei Yurong's words sharply, stood up and asked loudly: "I also want to take a handful to our daughter-in-law's unit to see her off!"

Pei Yurong smiled: "Yes, Section Chief Fan." I'll prepare it for you later. ”

When Pan Gongzi heard this, his eyebrows moved, and he also said, "I also want to take it away." "Today he wants to invite a lesbian to a movie and bring a free good-looking flower, which will definitely make the other party happy.

"I'm sorry, comrade, I'm afraid I can't let you take it anymore. We only have two spare bouquets left. ”

Pan Gongzi shrugged regretfully: "Then forget it." "Go back to the countryside and get the wildflowers.

This month, I want to save money to come to the restaurant for a big meal every day. The gifts for the lesbians can only be a little water.

However, the wildflowers he picked with his own hands were full of heart and sincerity! I don't think there would be a lesbian who would not be impressed.

After Xiao Yi finished chopping firewood, he heard that a guest was coming, washed his hands, and brought out the three boiled pots of porridge with Su Yi and put them on the long table next to the counter.

He thought about it for a while, then smiled and said, "Since they are all here, let's go to the back to help." What are you doing sitting there?"

Pan Gongzi was the first to get up, and asked Xiao Yi with a smile: "Captain, let's help, can we get a discount?"

Xiao Zou Gongan and the others echoed with a smile: "That's right! If you don't discount, you won't help. They said so, and they still consciously followed Xiao Yi and Su Yi to the back to help.

Su Yi said that there would be no discounts, but each person would give them two large meat buns, which made a group of big men dance with joy. Just now they had seen the price behind the menu on the wall, and a large meat bun cost five cents and two taels of food stamps. Now it's earned!

Lily told Su Yi about the flowers, thanked her again and again, and said that she would go to Xiao's house another day and ask her how to make the flowers look so good. She saw that everyone in the backyard was very busy, and she couldn't take care of the front, so she offered to temporarily help Su Yi make porridge, sell steamed buns, etc.

Su Yi thanked her and told Yingzi to finish her work and go out to continue working.
