Chapter Twenty-Five: Someone Comes to Challenge
"Also, you're in charge of picking up Sasha to school." After thinking about it, he took out two thousand yuan: "Just buy a phone number for easy contact." "I add in my heart, I owe you something.
The leopard didn't take the money: "I have, my mother gave me money, go buy a mobile phone in the afternoon." ”
"It's easy for your mom to make money, huh? Save the money, go home at least once a week, buy some supplements for your mother, and count it in mine. I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Bai Lu is very angry, and he howls loudly and extremely rudely to express strange kindness.
The leopard hesitated: "Why are you so good to me?" I still owe you money. ”
This sentence made Bai Lu even more angry, a month ago, he was a little demon king in the desert, how did he come to the big city, but he became a great good person, and he took care of this and that, how can there be such a reason in the world?
was so angry that he dropped his chopsticks: "You eat, eat lunch in the restaurant, the leopard is responsible for shopping, and cleaning up." Then he threw out three hundred pieces of silver, and opened the door.
The three people in the room were a little confused, and Tintin asked, "Which of you provoked him?" ”
The leopard looked at the money on the dinner table and thought for a while: "Is it because I'm too lazy?" ”
Zhang Shasha said: "You're not lazy, you did it all by wiping the floor and washing the dishes." ”
It's not because I'm lazy, but because I didn't take the money? The leopard pondered.
Seeing that the leopard was a little hesitant, guessing that it was a matter of money, he went to the bedroom and took out a diary, opened a page and showed it to the leopard: "I keep accounts, remember how much money I owe, and pay it back later, you can too." ”
The leopard thought for a moment: "Give me a book." ”
Zhang Shasha looked at the living room: "Let's remember, you don't have a room, what if you let Bai Lu see it?" "Spread out the book to the last page and put it in front of the leopard.
The leopard said, "You can write down the money you owe in your book, but you must also keep a clear record of the account for buying vegetables at noon, so that he can't think that I am greedy for his money." ”
Sasha said, "Yes." "I went back to the house and took out a notebook and a pen.
After the meal, the leopard and rustle clean up the room. Go to the market at half past nine to buy vegetables, then go to the restaurant, open the door, clean up, and choose vegetables......
The leopard is very diligent and works hard. After finishing the work in the house, by the way, clean up the sanitation at the door of the hotel.
After a while, Bai Lu came back and walked up to the leopard with a bunch of things: "Yours." ”
A set of knives, three cook's books, four white steel pipes, and a thick ball of red velvet rope.
The leopard took it and said thank you, thinking in his heart that he owed money again. endured and endured, but couldn't help it: "Brother Bai, how much do I open a month?" He was worried that he owed too much and would never pay it back.
"You'll know the way when you pay your salary." Bai Lu is deliberate, he won't tell you, and he will kill you in a hurry.
Well, I can use the knives and the cook's book, and I can keep it in my account. But what are the steel pipes used for? There is also a base underneath. The leopard was a little puzzled.
Bai Lu said again: "These things are in your hands." Take the white steel pipe and the red rope out of the road, put one at a distance of one meter, hang the red rope, form a separation road, and ask the leopard: "Understand?" Take it back at night. ”
This is He Shanqing's suggestion, because there are always people queuing up and making a separation road for queuing at the entrance of the nightclub to avoid disputes and quarrels.
The leopard nodded, the white road patted the ashes, went into the house to wash his hands, changed his clothes, and the chef was ready to go to work.
After the renovation, Bai Lu raised the requirements for himself, the chef must come in accordance with the hygiene regulations, personal hygiene, shoes, and hats must be clean.
After changing his clothes and entering the kitchen, he found that the vegetables had been cleaned, and nodded secretly, this kid is not bad. Just as I was about to praise, a fat old man walked in at the door, with a very remarkable posture, swaggering, a pair of eyes looking left and right, very kind of horizontal nose and vertical eye.
The leopard greeted him: "Old man, this store has not yet opened. ”
The old man sighed, glanced at the leopard, snorted, and turned his gaze to Bai Lu: "You are the cook?" ”
I'll go, this can't be opened, as soon as it opens, there will be trouble. Bai Lu sighed: "Old man, what do you want to do?" ”
"Nonsense, of course it's eating, can't you come to hunt?"
"Eat, the store hasn't opened yet, please line up outside the store, leopard, move a chair out of the house." Looking at the big sun outside, I said in my heart, fortunately, it won't be hot for a few days, otherwise I would have to get a parasol.
"Queuing outside the door? I don't have to queue up to go to the Capital Hotel, but I have to queue up when I come to your small restaurant? ”
"I'm sorry, you can not follow the rules of this restaurant, or you can not eat here, this restaurant does not force it, but if you want to eat, you have to queue up."
"Yo ho, you are more horizontal than Lao Tzu, do you have such a business? That's what your master taught you? ”
Hearing this, Bai Lu smiled indifferently and turned around and went into the kitchen.
Seeing that this junior was very faceless, the old man was angry: "Do you know who I am?" Do you have a chef's license? Dare to open a hotel? ”
According to Bai Lu's age, to be able to obtain a chef certificate, it is generally taken by the way when students graduate from culinary schools. And as long as these students have read books, they should know who they are. He said this in order to identify himself.
It's a pity that Bai Lu didn't read those books, so he just lowered his head to prepare food and ignored the old man.
The old man was angry, looked left and right, and suddenly saw a very familiar thing on the table.
Bai Lu went to the bookstore to buy books and asked people to recommend several cook's textbooks, one of which the old man co-edited. The old man opened the title page and found one of the color pages: "See?" See? ”
The leopard glanced sideways: "Pumpkin? ”
"What kind of melon? This dish is called autumn. ”
"The picture is old enough." The leopard stretched out his hand: "What are you doing with my book?" ”
"Look at the photos!"
There is a small photo on the side of the "Autumn" dish, a middle-aged man wearing a chef's hat and smiling, vaguely the shadow of an old man.
"Is that you?" The leopard looked back and forth.
In the kitchen, Bai Lu sighed: "I was deceived, how can there be a photo of someone who introduces a book on cooking?" How do bookstores recommend it blindly? ”
The old man was furious: "I don't know if it's nonsense, this is a regular textbook!" ”
"Who are you fooling, why do you put your photos in the regular textbooks?"
The old man was furious: "Do you know who Lao Tzu is?" This book is compiled by Lao Tzu......"
"Then I understand, you are pretending to be a public servant."
The old man was angry and angry: "You come out for me, I want to compare with you!" ”
The old man's name is Zhang Zhengyi, and a few years ago, a magazine selected the top ten chefs in China, and the old man was impressively listed. First place in the National Skills Competition in the Eighties. A whole lot of honors were won. He worked as a chef in several major hotels before being transferred to the State Guesthouse. In the 90s, he and a group of people compiled chef textbooks, and at the same time taught at the North City Chef School.
In recognition of his and the achievements of the other four chefs, the award-winning dishes and personal photos of the five chefs are specially attached to the teaching materials. This has nothing to do with the old man.
The old man is especially good at knife work, the pumpkin that the leopard said, is the pumpkin cup carved by the old man, the auspicious clouds are flying, the dragon is in the sky, and the lower end of the pumpkin cup is carved with mountains and rivers and other things, it is very good-looking.
The old man worked as a chef in the State Guesthouse for a while, and he accidentally met Gao Yuan's grandfather, even if he knew him.
Grandpa Gao has a stomach problem, can't eat greasy, and is a very picky eater.
The old man Zhang Zhengyi is a cook and serves the leader, so he naturally has to find ways to make good food for Grandpa Gao.
Now, both of them are old, and it is no longer a relationship between serving and being served. But acquaintance is fate, after Zhang Zhengyi retires, he occasionally thinks of a dish, and he will still come to the door to make it for Grandpa Gao.
Yesterday's National Day, Zhang Zhengyi wanted to go to Gao's house. But when contacted by phone, Grandpa Gao told him that he was going to a small restaurant called a five-star hotel to eat, and asked him to try it when he had time, saying that it was very, very delicious.
The old man is a celebrity chef, he is not convinced, he asks for the address, and he has made careful preparations at home.
Zhang Zhengyi is very famous in the chef world, but Bai Lu doesn't know what to do. Hearing that someone was going to compete with him, he shook his head helplessly: "You won." Tell the leopard: "Send the old man out and give him a taxi." ”
"I'm going to compete with you in knife work!" The old man patted his lower back, his thumb was forced, his wrist trembled slightly, and a ball of silver shone in front of him, and when the silver light disappeared, the old man's green right hand held a kitchen knife.
Depressed, this is making a movie? It's all old and handsome.
Bai Lu walked out of the kitchen: "Old man, go home, I can't compare to you, can't I?" ”
"No! The chief said that you are doing better than me, how can you not compare? ”
"I don't know who your chief is." I remembered that in the desert, if anyone came to the army, my father would have to call their chief, even if that person was only in his forties, not as old as my father.
"It doesn't matter who it is, today you have to compare, and if you don't, you have to compare, otherwise, I won't leave."
Hearing this, Bai Lu's first reaction was to look at the leopard, how could he do this? Still don't let people live?
Turning his gaze to the old man, if the old man is twenty or thirty years younger, he can call the police and arrest him. But now? What are you fighting with the elderly? Well, you're all! I give up.
Bai Lu walked out with a big black kitchen knife to chop bones: "Compared to others, you are so old......"
I didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but it can be understood that when I am older, my hands are unstable, and my knife skills have dropped a lot, so I am definitely not an opponent.
The old man was very stubborn: "It's like a knife worker." With his left hand, he took out two walnuts in his trouser pocket: "One for each person, carve a dragon with a kitchen knife." ”
"Carved dragons on walnuts?" The epidermis is uneven and pitted, and the old man is really thoughtful.
Zhang Zhengyi gave him a walnut and shouted, "Let's go!" Holding the kitchen knife obliquely, he began to carve a dragon plan.
"Old man, you used the wrong knife, a file is better than a kitchen knife." Bai Lu suggested.
Zhang Zhengyi ignored what he said, and flew at the walnut with the tip of his blade.
Gotta play with the old man once. Bai Lu helplessly measured the walnuts, turned them over and looked at them twice, and had a general pattern in his mind, put the tail blade of the big black knife on the walnuts, and gently shook them along the lines.
The walnut has two main lines, one on the left and one on the right to wrap the walnut, and if the rest of the place is subdivided, it can also be divided into textures, as if there are edges and corners. Bai Lu was too lazy to do such a complicated thing, so he started around the two main edges and made a two-dragon competition. The rest of the skin is designed as a floating cloud according to the pattern, and it is thinned as much as possible to highlight the majestic momentum of the two dragons.
Twenty minutes, only twenty minutes, Bai Lu finished, put the walnuts on the table, sighed into the kitchen: "I have to sharpen my knives again." ”
