"Shopkeeper, he is Master Li." Ge Yulian said next to Yuan Qing's ear.

"Hello, Master Li!" Yuan Qing came to the old man who had already cut the vegetables and bowed his hand to show his respect. In addition to learning to cook good dishes, a chef also has to practice the basic skills of cutting vegetables for a long time.

"Shopkeeper." The old man returned the favor to Yuan Qing slightly, after all, he was an old man, and she was a junior.

He recognized her as natural, the shopkeeper, his own boss, and naturally had to recognize her. Yuan Qing smiled and said, "Master Li, how about I introduce you to an apprentice?" ”

"I'm old, I can't teach anymore." Master Li waved his hand and said, "Shopkeeper, Shopkeeper Hu is gone, I, the old man, am embarrassed to stay here anymore, tomorrow I will pack up my things, and my old man should go home." ”

"Master Li, why do you say this?" Ge Yulian was a little surprised, when he wanted to tell this old man to leave, this old man had a resolute tone and a tough attitude, so he stayed until now with his bad cooking skills, and now, before they could speak, he first told him about leaving.

"Isn't that clear?" Master Li is a temperamental old man, and he is too lazy to talk nonsense.

"Master Li, I didn't mean that, if you want to stay, the restaurant still needs your help." Yuan Qingdao, even if he can't cook the dishes, but his knife skills are good, he is still an unavoidable talent when he comes to cut vegetables, but I don't know if this stubborn old man, who is used to being a chef, will be willing to be only a vegetable chopping person.

"I also know that the level of the dishes I cook is not as good as before, the shopkeeper Hu didn't say to me that he didn't want to break the friendship, and your shopkeeper Yuan is different, the dishes are not done well, the old man I am also very guilty, now I'm afraid my sense of taste is not good, no sense of taste, I am no longer a chef, and I am not qualified to stay in the kitchen." There is no room for refuge.

"Since what Master Li says, we juniors can't say anything, Uncle Lian calculates Master Li's salary well, and can give more." Yuan Qingdao, since the old man doesn't like to beat around the bush, she is also outspoken.

"Master Li, please come with me." Ge Yulian led Old Man Li out.

"Xiaolan, from now on, the kitchen of the restaurant will be handed over to you, what kind of dishes will you cook?" Yuan Qing looked at Chen Lan, who had not spoken beside him.

"Girl, Xiaolan is just a country girl, and she only cooks some home-cooked dishes, I'm afraid Xiaolan really won't ...... the dishes in this restaurant" Chen Lan swallowed.

"It's okay, Xiaolan, we don't do business today, you're in the kitchen, take the dishes you can make, make the same for every dish, remember, I don't care how you are, you can't have the same repetition anyway, you can choose the ingredients here, in short, don't have duplicates, some dishes can be similar, but not exactly the same, I'll call someone to get the dishes later." Do it well. Yuan Qing looked at her with a calm and firm expression, which made it impossible to object.

"Girl, Xiaolan will work hard." She blinked, and her skin was stained crimson more than the previous day, and she looked delicate.

"Yes." Yuan Qing nodded and walked out of the kitchen.

Today, the restaurant is closed for a day, and the tourists who are playing in the Moon Lake are hungry and can only go to the street outside to eat.

Tomorrow, the concubine will come to the restaurant to hold the final competition of the selection of servants, and the restaurant does not dare to slack off, there is a platform on the first floor of the restaurant, which is for people to listen to books, watch blowing, playing and singing. A table and chairs under the stage, the guys are extremely clean.

In a side room on the third floor, Yuan Qing and Yuan Bao sat at a table, there were five dishes on the table, each dish was full of color and flavor, holding chopsticks, clamping vegetables, the dishes were not entered, the nose of the incense ancestors, closing the eyes and smelling it, and the index finger moved.

Put a clip of vegetables in your mouth and chew it slowly, the fragrance lingers between your mouth, and the taste is on the tip of your tongue.

The dishes made by Chen Lan are very fresh and delicious. Everyone tasted it and praised it again and again.

"Xiaolan, what's the name of these dishes?" Yuan Qing asked, still savoring the deliciousness of the dish.

"Forgive Xiaolan for ignorance, these dishes are just home-cooked dishes, without a name." Chen Lan said.

"No name?" Yuan Qing thought in his mind, and said: "Then let's take these names slowly, Uncle Lian, the previous menu can be used for reference." ”

"Okay." After that, they began to think about the names of these dishes, before a dish saw its true face, they all looked at its name, this name is the façade of the dish, it can attract people if it is good, and it may suffer a little if it is not good.

The names of these dishes are all very good, of course, they are all made up, and they naturally have to be on the good side, such as: Jinwu Zangjiao, which is a small piece of meat in a bunch of dishes; The green dragon lies in the snow, that is, a plate of white with a green one on it; The peerless double pride is fried with green chili pepper and red chili pepper.

Of course, although these dishes are very ordinary, they are made with Chen Lan's cooking skills. That's naturally delicious, and there's absolutely no tricks. In ancient times, doing business was to do it in a real way, and you couldn't play any tricks, because it was just those customers who came and went, and unlike the modern population, it didn't matter if the store was a pit person.

The names of these dishes are as poetic and allegorical as possible, and they are pleasing to everyone.

Time always flies very quickly when people are busy, and the day passes as soon as you close your eyes and open your eyes.

Early in the morning, all the staff of the Moon Lake Restaurant were in good spirits, they were smiling, neat and clean, the reason seemed to be that an important person had a habit of cleanliness, so they should be treated with care.

The restaurant is spotless, smooth as ice, some people walk in outside the door, no matter who it is, the guys are smiling and greeting, this is the rule of the new shopkeeper, treat any guest to be polite, must not despise arrogance.

The servants selected by the concubine, there are a total of three candidates so far, they are the big monkey, that is, the one who asked Yuan Qing how to be interesting, the remaining two are a man and a woman, the strength of the three people is comparable, the concubine is not good at deciding who will be her servant, the kind of servant who plays with her, the three of them are about to fight, so there is this last competition to decide the winner, as for how to compete, it is nothing more than who has the ability to tease the concubine is happy, for a long time.

I have to say that this concubine is also thinking differently from ordinary people, after many competitions, these three people have passed all the way, they are all people who the concubine thinks are very interesting, it stands to reason that the concubine has been bored at home for too long, and it is understandable to find someone to play with her, but can you not make such a big fanfare, what does it mean to call half of the people in Qiuzhou here to watch the battle?

At this time, the restaurant was dark and full of people, the first floor was full, the second floor was almost full, the busy guys were dizzy, and even the ten-year-old Xiaobao had to come out to serve tea and water.

In the kitchen, Yuan Qing took a knife and peeled pears there, her knife skills were not good, but she could still drip when used to peel the peel, Qiuzhou fruits were cheap, Yuan Qing bought a lot of that kind of fruit farmers didn't dare to take out and sell a little rotten fruit, and the price was extremely cheap. What are you doing with all this rotten fruit? Needless to say, you know, use it to make a fruit bowl.

Fruit platter, a large plate costs ten yuan, and a small plate costs seven yuan, which is much more profitable than selling fruits directly.

Due to the large number of guests and the lack of manpower, the dignified shopkeeper also has to peel the fruit by himself, which is really busy.

Suddenly, a man came to the kitchen and hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper, the princess and the prince are here." ”

"Here's what happened, these fruits haven't been peeled yet. Go and call Xiao Hu and tell her to stop cleaning and finish peeling the fruit first. Yuan Qing wiped his hands as he spoke, and got up and walked to the kitchen. Xiao Hu is a miscellaneous person in the Moon Lake Restaurant.

Yuan Qing worked hard to tidy up his clothes and face, and walked to the lobby of the restaurant, only to see people sitting in their seats, eating and drinking, they were smiling and seemed to be very satisfied with the dishes in the restaurant.

Two people came out of this black and oppressive crowd, and it is not an exaggeration to describe these two people as peerless, seeing these two people, the noisy crowd stopped arguing.

Ge Yu, who was beside Yuan Qing, pushed Yuan Qing and said, "Shopkeeper, the concubine and the prince are here." ”

"Oh." She answered, took the lead in stepping forward, bowed her head and said, "Princess, prince, hello!" ”

"Princess, the prince has missed the distance, please forgive me." Ge Yu said, he also stepped forward and bowed, and his attitude was that he would not dare to slack off no matter what.

"No courtesy." This peerless woman, smiling slightly, her pretty face is like the sunset falling on the horizon, tactful and blurry, red and far away.

"Concubine Xie." After speaking, Yuan Qing looked up and saw not the face of the woman who spoke, but an expressionless face, this face she had seen before, and now she saw it in this place, somewhat inappropriate, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Yuan Qing met his unwavering eyes and said, "The prince is polite." ", I'm going to bow to this ice cube face again.

Yuan Qing was very reluctant in her heart, but this person was a prince with a noble status, and she couldn't afford to provoke her.

"No courtesy." Li Chen said lightly.

To receive these two heavyweight guests, the core person of the restaurant is needed. Yuan Qing and Ge Yulian, shopkeeper and second shopkeeper.

"Uncle Lian, greet the concubine and the prince well." Yuan Qing turned his head to Ge Yu and said. Then he turned his head and bowed to the two of them: "The greeting is not good, and I hope that the concubine and the prince will forgive me." ”

"You are?" Gu Yijing's red lips opened lightly, indicating that she was not very familiar with Yuan Qing. The shopkeeper of this restaurant is Old Man Hu, why is this girl now?

"This is our shopkeeper Yuan, the new shopkeeper of the restaurant, who just took office yesterday, so you don't know her yet, concubine." Ge Yu said. The words of this introduction are generally said by others, and the parties do not appear so embarrassed.

Yuan Qing secretly added a point to Uncle Lian in his heart, and said: "Yes, concubine, my surname is Yuan Mingqing, and the concubine can just call me Yuan Qing." She looked at the dazzling beauty in front of her, and she really couldn't tell that she could be the mother of the ice cube face
