Chapter 21: The Beginning of the Edge
Seeing the visitor, the shopkeeper's face showed a trace of nervousness, just now I looked like I was the boss, but now I have become like a chicken, it is obvious that the person who came made him afraid.
Chen Chen has been paying attention to the shopkeeper, and all the changes in the shopkeeper's face were taken in by him, and he thought silently, it seems that the person who spoke is a weighty, and it is very likely that he wants to lead out - the shopkeeper.
The person who came finally saw his true face, dressed in a light blue robe, with upright facial features, a pair of eyes that seemed to be murderous all the time, the most striking thing was the scar on his forehead, which was generously presented in front of everyone, the corners of Chen Chen's mouth trembled, could he have guessed wrong?
A person who looks fierce and makes people stop three miles away doesn't look like the owner of this restaurant.
You know, it's a businessman, and this man is obviously more like a general who has fought on the battlefield.
The man stood opposite Chen Chen, with a hint of a smile on his face, which was just right, which made people feel very good.
Is this the infallibility of man? Chen Chen thought in his heart.
"This son, you just said that there is only a wisp of oil fragrance wafting out of this restaurant, I don't know what to say?"
That person's humble attitude made Chen Chen feel better, at least this person was still a good person.
People respect me for one point, and I respect you for ten points.
Chen Chen is such a person, this person's attitude is excellent, Chen Chen is also willing to miss a little, fortunately, he is usually a foodie, for eating, it can definitely be said that the experience of three days and three nights, not only that, he also has a good cooking skill.
Of course, the reason why he has good cooking skills is because his ex-girlfriend is a picky eater, doesn't like to eat outside dishes, and always says that there is no taste at home, so he went to learn to coax his girlfriend.
"Well, if my guess is right, the dish that just got out of the kitchen should be fried meat, but I only seem to smell a strong smell of oil, so the raw materials you use should be mostly fatty meat, and the green onions, ginger, garlic, peppercorns, chili peppers, wine, etc. that should be used in fried meat don't seem to be there, so what do you want to lack of dishes can be delicious? There are also many types of fried meat, and pork belly can be made into back pot meat, Dongpo meat, plum cabbage button meat, secret braised pork, ...... "Chen Chen said very energetically, almost degrading the dishes in this restaurant to worthless, and there is no need to eat it."
After speaking, Chen Chen only felt that his lips were very dry, and he felt like his throat was smoking, and he thought, is it easy for me to eat a meal?
But looking at the thoughtful look of the person in front of him, even the onlookers next to him unconsciously drooled when they heard his narration, and they still had a full sense of accomplishment.
"Ahem, that ...... I'm done. ”
Chen Chen said, interrupting these people's reverie, and then looked at the eyes of everyone who were glaring at him, and couldn't help but touch his nose innocently, did he disturb other people's dreams?
Well, I'm guilty.
"What Childe said is indeed thought-provoking, but we have never heard of the names of the dishes that Childe said, I don't know if Childe made it up or ......" Obviously, although Chen Chen's display is desirable, but there is a little, I haven't seen anything real, and everyone is more or less skeptical.
"Yes, yes, what's the use of you just talking, but you can be deceived with useless things."
"Seeing what you said so smoothly, it looks like you'll do it."
"Oh, it's a cook......"
"Let's try it."
"Yes, make it, make it"
……
Seeing these people so enthusiastic, Chen Chen's mind became active, the master said that so much is not just for food, there is a demand for benefits, Chen Chen thought to himself, why don't he take advantage of this and let this person take out valuable things in exchange, as long as he wants it, he will definitely fall into his pit.
But it is still necessary to show his hand, otherwise how would these people know if it was blown or the truth, but Chen Chen already had a plan in his heart.
Thinking about it, Chen Chen rolled up his sleeves with his hands and said menacingly: "Then the master will let you see what a chef is." ”
After speaking, he looked at the person just now, he wanted to show it, but he wanted a guy, and it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and where did these guys come from? Of course, it's just this restaurant.
"Take this boy in." The man commanded to the shopkeeper behind him.
This person is the little second who bullied Chen Chen just now, and now seeing that his master said so, although he was still unhappy in his heart, he had to do it.
……
"Childe, please stay."
Chen Chen was stopped as soon as he walked out of the door, with his back to the visitor, a clear smile appeared on the corner of Chen Chen's mouth, and he was in a good mood.
This person really jumped into his pit, but I don't know if the result will make him happy.
When he turned around, the smile on Chen Chen's face had disappeared, and his face was full of doubts: "Is there anything else?" ”
"Childe, I don't know if you can accept apprentices?" The person who came, that is, the shopkeeper just now, looked at Chen Chen with hope.
"Apprentices?" Chen Chen was stunned for a moment, when did he express his intention to accept apprentices, he just wanted to make a deal, okay, then shook his head and refused, "I don't accept apprentices." ”
The shopkeeper's eyes flashed with disappointment, he had just asked the cooks below to redo it according to Chen Chen's practice, but the result was completely not up to Chen Chen's kind of Cheng dù, thinking about Chen Chen's depressed appearance, he thought about whether he could keep Chen Chen, and said that he would accept apprentices, but he was directly rejected just by saying the latter, thinking that even if he said that he wanted to use Chen Chen, the cook, he would be rejected.
"Shopkeeper, you want to know why your cook's cooking isn't as good as mine." Seeing the shopkeeper's disappointed eyes, Chen Chen smiled, and then said what the shopkeeper was thinking.
"Exactly." The shopkeeper did not shy away from it, since he was told by Chen Chen, he was calm, his eyes lit up, and he stared at Chen Chen hopefully.
"Childe wants to stay with us? If Childe wants to stay with us, he will definitely give Childe the highest treatment. The shopkeeper patted his chest and promised, high salary, that is a very attractive thing, the shopkeeper feels that as long as he takes out enough silver, he will definitely be able to keep Chen Chen, after all, he vaguely feels that Chen Chen is asking for something.
"Shopkeeper, I, being a chef must have wronged me, but I can give you what you want, just to see if you can come up with the same thing in exchange for what you want in my hand." Chen Chen said with a smile, he felt that his current smile was like a fox's smile, a very treacherous feeling.
Originally, the shopkeeper retreated when he heard Chen Chen's previous words, although Chen Chen's cooking skills were very good, but what he wanted was to make his family's restaurant better, but Chen Chen's obvious appearance of raising himself very high, he really didn't like it, although he was a businessman, but he hated other businessmen to bargain with him, and he was about to open his mouth to refuse directly, but Chen Chen's words later made his heart skip a beat.
What does he want? Menu? He did indeed Chen Chen must have hidden something when he was cooking those dishes, which made his cooks fail repeatedly, but Chen Chen actually wanted to give up the things in between, which completely made the shopkeeper happy.
Hurriedly asked: "What Childe wants, as long as he can take it out in the next place, it will be a transaction for Childe." ”
"Wait." Chen Chen was not in a hurry to trade with the shopkeeper, and all he had to do was to increase the chips in his hand, the heavier the chips, the higher the value of the antiques he could exchange, Chen Chen knew this truth very well.
Chen Chen dug through the bag in his hand, and finally let him find a wooden box that he had carefully prepared in modern times.
In order to decorate the façade, Chen Chen specially searched for an antique box on Taotao.com, which contained a handwritten cookbook written by Chen Chen, which contained three major cuisines, hundreds of dishes, and a variety of dish names, which was definitely a heavyweight thing.
Looking at the wooden box in Chen Chen's hand, the shopkeeper didn't know why, pointed to the wooden box and asked, "This is ......?"
"Recipes." Chen Chen replied.
"Recipes?" The shopkeeper's eyes lit up suddenly, could it be that Chen Chen's excellent cooking skills were because he had this recipe? Thinking about it, he was about to reach out and take it, but he saw Chen Chen's big hand shrink and hide the recipe behind him.
"Shopkeeper, this is a precious thing, you can't just flip through it." Chen Chen guarded things very tightly, just such a cookbook may be worth millions or even tens of millions, he doesn't know if this shopkeeper is a trustworthy person, in case he is robbed like Qian Hong before, who will he cry to.
"I can see it if I want, but I have to hold it." Chen Chen really did it carefully, and would rather hold it for others to see than let others take it for themselves.
"Don't, Childe please go inside first, let's serve good tea upstairs." The shopkeeper is also a cautious person, the one on the street, the one opposite is opposite him, in case the person on the other side knows Chen Chen's savings, he has to come and rob himself.
Chen Chen thought about it and felt that it was too, standing at the door was really tired, he had walked a lot today, so he nodded, turned around and entered the restaurant again.
Lanling Pavilion is specially reserved by the shopkeeper to entertain the royal nobles, but this time he made an exception to invite Chen Chen inside, as the shopkeeper himself said, in Lanling Pavilion, the best spring tea exudes a faint fragrance.
Chen Chen enjoyed it to the fullest, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, today is really a big day of ups and downs, he was already frightened when he almost lost his head, and then he was despised by the shopkeeper, and he was kicked for no reason, that is, now, he is just a little like a person.
