Chapter 15 Receiving Disciples
Xia Mei remembered that she had forgotten to tell others about the method she had saved, and said apologetically to Chen Daniu: "Brother Chen, it's all my fault, I forgot to tell you well." Go back and put it in the cellar, and dip it in cotton cloth with water, and cover it over the basket, so that it will last a little longer. ”
After a pause, Xia Mei continued: "But the weather is hot, I'm afraid it's not good to let it go for a long time, so Brother Chen will send it once every two days in the future!" ”
But then he remembered that people were still running shops in the town, and said, "Forget it, I'll let Wen Hao pull it up in the future." By the way, Brother Chen, this is a pair of brother and sister, the elder brother is called Wen Hao, and the younger sister is called Wen Xi, I will ask them to go back with me today, so that it will be convenient to deliver goods in the future. What do you think, Brother Chen? ”
"It's good, it's just that this is my business, but now it's making this little brother tired, so let's reduce the price of this thing by a few cents, otherwise I really can't go in my heart."
Xia Mei's persuasion was ineffective, and the matter was settled, and a pound of mushrooms was eighteen wen. This time it was still twenty wen, a total of six taels of silver, Chen Daniu was in his arms, and he walked happily with the wind.
After sending Chen Daniu away, Xia Mei and the others returned to the lobby, and at this time, there were only one or two people in the lobby sitting and eating, and it was idle time.
Xia Mei set the food on the table and beckoned everyone to come over for dinner. After Qin Zhihan sat down on the main seat, he sat down on Qin Zhihan's left hand.
Liu Quan came over to the opposite side of Qin Zhihan with a smile and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xia, since you have become our chef, we have a good fortune!" I look forward to this every day! Why don't you do more in the future? We can eat hot at night! ”
Xia Mei was amused by him, "Just you kid flamboy!" Be careful not to cook your meals in the future! ”
Everyone sat down with a smile, Xia Mei turned her head, and saw Wen Hao standing respectfully with his sister, ready to give everyone a posture of clothing vegetables, and sighed in her heart, "Okay, Wen Hao, come and sit down!" We are a restaurant, not a large family's house. You're not a subordinate, you're just a guy in this restaurant. Do you understand? ”
"But ......"
Seeing that Wen Hao was still hesitating, Qin Zhihan frowned and said impatiently: "Sit down!" We don't have those rules. ”
Wen Hao's body stiffened, but he still sat down with his sister.
Qin Zhihan already had the intention of suppressing this kid in his heart, and he was bound to pretend to be a "cold face" at this moment, and said in a cold tone: "Although we are not that big family, we are also a serious restaurant." Naturally, if you come back, you must recognize your own duty! Do things well, and I will naturally not treat you harshly. ”
Seeing Wen Hao respectfully bowing his head and responding, "Yes!" Qin Zhihan was satisfied.
Turning his head, he saw Xia Mei looking at him coldly, and couldn't help touching his nose in embarrassment.
Cough lightly to cover up, "Ahem!" Let's eat, we'll be busy later. ”
After speaking, he first picked up his chopsticks and put a chopsticks fish in his mouth, and immediately an expression of enjoyment appeared on his face.
When everyone saw him move the chopsticks, they picked up the chopsticks one after another and feasted on them.
The Wen brothers and sisters were even more amazed, they had never eaten such a delicious meal, and the two of them couldn't wait to swallow their tongues when they ate it.
Especially Wen Xi, the expression on his face became richer, one would sigh, one would be satisfied, and one would be thoughtful.
Moreover, although the body is small, the amount of food is not small, and I have eaten the third bowl of rice!
At this moment, it was completely different from the shy appearance before, so that Liu Quan forgot to eat and looked at her blankly.
Wen Xi suddenly found that everyone stopped to look at her with frightened eyes, and suddenly red clouds rose on her face, and even the roots of her ears were red and about to drip blood. Hurriedly put down the chopsticks, lowered his head and twisted the corners of his clothes uneasily.
Wen Hao felt a pain in his heart, and at this moment he hurriedly stood up, and said to Qin Zhihan and Xia Mei with pleading eyes: "Shopkeeper, madam...... My sister grew up eating more than the average woman...... Besides, I've never had a serious meal these days. So at this time, I ate more rice because of the delicious food...... I beg your forgiveness! Wen Hao is willing to give her his share! ”
"Brother......" Wen Xi bit his lip and looked at Wen Hao at this time, his beautiful eyes were full of regret and self-blame, and tears fell down one by one......
This time, even Qin Zhihan couldn't bear to say anything, these two children were suffering......
Liu Quan was even more on the side, his eyes were full of distress.
"Sit down, we don't mean to blame. Anyway, it's also my guy from Tianfu Restaurant, how can I let you not have enough to eat. You all let go of your belly and eat! Maybe I don't have much else in this restaurant, but the food is enough! ”
Qin Zhihan chuckled softly at Wen Hao's soft face.
Wen Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and believed in what Liu Quan said even more, the shopkeeper and his wife were all good people.
At this time, Xia Mei also said loudly: "Yes, although my salary buys you not much, it is enough to feed you." Don't worry. ”
"Also, you will follow Liu Quan in the future and call me Mrs. Xia."
Hearing this, Qin Zhihan suddenly turned his head to look at Xia Mei, with a dark look in his eyes.
Wen Hao realized in his heart at this time that Mrs. was not the lady of the shopkeeper, and immediately responded: "Yes, Mrs. Xia." ”
"Alright, let's eat." Xia Mei said indifferently, not caring about the strange atmosphere on the table.
Qin Zhihan's face also turned pale, and he laughed loudly: "Eat quickly, eat quickly, it's not too early!" After speaking, he first picked up the bowl and ate it in a big gulp.
Everyone didn't say anything, they hurriedly finished eating and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.
Originally, Xia Mei wanted the Wen brothers and sisters to take a break and work again tomorrow, but Wen Hao's insistence was overwhelmed, so he had to follow Liu Quan and learn to greet some guests. At the end of the afternoon, he did it so well that even Liu Quan praised it.
As for Wen Xi, Xia Mei left her in the kitchen to help herself.
In fact, originally, Xia Mei and Qin Zhihan were both thinking about asking a kid to be an apprentice, after all, things in the kitchen are already hard, where can ordinary girls stand it.
But now Xia Mei has changed her mind a little, she wants Wen Xi to try it first.
Because generally speaking, people who can eat have more love for food than ordinary people, and they also have higher requirements for making food.
With the idea that she would rather make a mistake than let go, Xia Mei wanted to see Wen Xi's talent first, if it didn't work, just let Wen Hao come.
So Xia Mei took Wen Xi in the kitchen first, let her watch from the sidelines, and occasionally help cut a vegetable or something.
The more Xia Mei observed Wen Xi, the more satisfied she became, and even a little surprised.
Although this girl is a little smaller, but a pair of eyes are extremely smart, when she is cooking, she looks at her movements carefully without saying a word, and quickly notes down the methods of some dishes, and when she wants something, she can always hand it to her in time.
Although the chopping action is slower and the cutting is not very even, but over time, Natsumi still firmly believes that she will become an excellent chef!
So when all the customers in the store left, Xia Mei asked Wen Xi in front of everyone: "Wen Xi, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?" ”
