Chapter 187: Trouble
Early the next morning, Liu Xing picked up the set of top-notch knives and went to the station to buy a ticket to your city (the Grand Cherokee is now in the repair shop). Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Liu Xing tried it last night, and it feels like a good one, this set of knives and tools has a total of fifty-one, including most of the knives needed in Chinese and Western kitchens.
Liu Xing could already imagine how excited he would be when Kong Xu saw this set of props. A good set of kitchenware is as important as a second life for a chef, and even the closest people can't touch it.
Coming to the Origin of Taste Hotel in Guishi, Liu Xing glanced around after entering the store, leaned on the front desk and asked, "Is Kong Xu in the hotel now?" ”
The waiter was newly recruited, and his round eyes were full of doubts, "Sir, is the Mr. Kong Xu you said today's guest?" ”
Liu Xing shook his head and said, "It's the person in charge of this store, Kong Xu." ”
Hearing this, the waiter asked again: "Our chef does not accept interviews, if you have an appointment, I can call for you to ask." ”
Well, Liu Xing was a little embarrassed, put the box on the front desk, took out the phone and called Kong Xu: "Are you in the store now?" I'm right here at the front desk. ”
didn't let Liu Xing wait long, and Kong Xu's familiar figure appeared in sight. He glanced at Liu Xing up and down, punched Liu Xing in the chest, and said with a pout: "You are living comfortably with your hands-off shopkeeper, and you can't even get through on the phone for nearly fifty days." ”
Liu Xing touched his nose in a daze, snorted, and said, "Isn't this with you, with you, something big can happen." By the way, I came to your city this time to bring you a gift, and I promise to make you satisfied. ”
Kong Xu snorted lightly, and said with a pout: "Even if you kid has a conscience, what did you give?" ”
Liu Xing smiled, patted the box and said, "Open it yourself and take a look, this thing is estimated to be the only one in the whole world." ”
"It's not a small tone."
Kong Xu opened the box nonchalantly, then swallowed his saliva unconsciously, reached into the box with trembling hands, and took out a bright kitchen knife. He stroked the hilt of the knife gently, as gently as he caressed a sexy girl, and his eyes melted any woman.
Liu Xing crossed his arms and smiled: "How is it, are you still satisfied with this set of knives?" ”
"Satisfied, simply satisfied." Kong Xu carefully put the kitchen knife back, grabbed Liu Xing's arm excitedly and asked, "Which master made this set of knives, I have never seen such a perfect knife." ”
"Don't think about it, I don't know who made it." Liu Xing shrugged his shoulders and said, "The things have been delivered, then I should go back too, the source of taste will be handed over to you, if there is anything to call." ”
Leaving the source of taste, Liu Xing walked towards the western restaurant not far away. Compared with the crowded city at the source of taste, the western restaurant is undoubtedly much more deserted, and when you enter the store, there are only a small number of tables and chairs in the hall.
Liu Xing frowned slightly, found a place to sit by the window, and then beckoned to the waiter.
"Sir, do you need anything?" The waiter bowed.
Liu Xing picked up the menu and flipped through it, and said, "A Paris lobster, a red wine pheasant, a potato stewed mutton, and a bottle of Riesling white wine." ”
The speed of the hotel was very fast, and the red wine pheasant was served in less than half an hour. Liu Xing cut a small piece of chicken and put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully, and then frowned.
Although the taste of this red wine pheasant is not as good as his food selection, it can also be said to be quite good, even if it wins Michelin, why is the business so bad? This is not scientific!
At this moment, a few young people who were dressed independently walked into the store and said unscrupulously: I just had a fight somewhere, and I went to that massage parlor last night, which girl in KTV is the most beautiful......
Liu Xing raised his head and asked the waiter, "How many people come every day?" ”
"I come every day, I don't order food, I just sit there. Originally, the business in the store was not bad, but because they made such a fuss, the business was at least half worse. People who like to taste Western food will definitely not want to come back when they see this. The waiter's face was bitter.
Hearing this, Liu Xing asked again: "So you didn't call the police?" If this kind of thing is not dealt with, the business of the store will only get worse and worse. ”
"Why didn't you call the police, but if people have committed any crimes, they will be arrested and criticized and educated, or they will be released soon, but it will be even worse."
The waiter sighed and said, "These people have too much appetite, and they want our western restaurant to join that alliance." But they don't want to think about it, we are the first place in the food competition, how can we join such a third-rate small league. ”
"It wouldn't hurt to join this alliance." Liu Xing took a sip of white wine and asked suspiciously.
"It's said that the alliance has lifted them, a group of clowns who can't get on the stage. The Western restaurants in this alliance are not ranked at all in your province, not only do they not reflect on their own shortcomings and strive to improve their cooking skills, but they continue to crowd out other Western restaurants.
The most excessive thing is that the Western restaurants in this alliance are shoddy, using inferior ingredients and buying high prices. If you can't compete with other Western restaurants, then you will use all kinds of negative means to achieve your own goals. ”
Liu Xing nodded suddenly, Xie Shengwen has a strong personality, and she will definitely hold on to this kind of thing, and she will not ask him for help. In this way, the other party saw that she had no choice, so she was naturally more arrogant, expecting to squeeze the western restaurant away.
It seems that I have to give Xie Shengwen a good lesson, although it will not collapse if it supports the western restaurant like this, it is impossible to develop. The source of taste is Kong Xu, an old chef, who knows everything about it and happens to be a suitable teacher.
With Liu Xing's current energy, solving this problem is a matter of one sentence, but he is not ready to interfere. When he went to the capital to study at the end of August, Liu Xing could no longer take care of the affairs of the Western restaurant, and everything could only be handled by Xie Shengwen.
This matter can be regarded as a test for him, if Xie Shengwen can solve it beautifully, it will naturally be better. If her mentality can't change, then Liu Xing can only choose another good talent and find a branch at random to let her be the branch manager.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing was not interested in tasting the remaining two dishes, so after paying the bill, he called Kong Xu, explained the matter to him, and drove back to Bishi.
Whether you are reborn from the fire or die and do not change depends on your choice. (To be continued.) )
