The man took a few small stools and put them in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "There are pickles in the house, and the two sons can sit in the courtyard." ”

Fu Heng handed a small stool to Rong Yunhe, sat down himself, put the cake on the stone mill next to him, and asked, "I wonder if Uncle can tell you why Chef Li's wife turned us away?" ”

"Well, that's it, that's right. Uncle Li has good cooking skills and high wages, you can see his house, which is the best house in our village. But there is one diǎn, he has no sons, he gave birth to five, all daughters, recruited a son-in-law, and he is also an honest man, and he can't learn his craft. Instead, he accepted an apprentice, treated him as a son, and taught him all the craftsmanship of his body. Although these three uncles are old, they are also a person who can't rest, and every day they refer to diǎn as diǎn apprentices in the restaurant, and they are also leisurely with high wages.

But I didn't want the business of the restaurant to gradually deteriorate some time ago, and the third uncle's apprentice was bought by outsiders, and the lard was blinded, so he wanted to quit his job and go to another restaurant, and he didn't tell the third uncle. It wasn't until the day of his resignation that the third uncle found out and scolded him immediately. The apprentice also had no conscience, saying that his craftsmanship was already stronger than that of the master, so he naturally wanted to pick that Gao Zhifei, and said many ungrateful words, which made the third uncle angry to death. In order to teach him a lesson, the third uncle tried with him on the spot.

The third uncle thought that if he kept a hand, he would definitely be able to win over the apprentice, lest he not know the height of the sky. But I don't want that apprentice to know why, the food made is unusually delicious. In the end, the apprentice was not retained, and the restaurant also sold the owner to someone else, and the third uncle came back with a serious illness. Since then, he has been disheartened. But I don't know what the reason is, the apprentice came to apologize a few days later and asked him to go out of the mountain. was scolded by the third uncle.

The apprentice's owner also sent someone to invite him twice, and the third uncle was angry once he came, so now the third aunt didn't give a good face when she heard that it was from the restaurant. However, I don't think the two sons were sent by the restaurant, so I told them this. ”

Thinking of the scene I saw today, Fu Heng and Rong Yunhe still don't know what's going on. That apprentice is nothing more than using MSG to win over this Chef Li.

"Your third uncle's apprentice. What is your name? Fu Heng asked.

The man smiled: "I know this, it's called Fang Xiaoquan." ”

Rong Yunhe asked again: "What about his owner?" ”

(4) ↖dǐng (4) ↖diǎn (4) ↖ small (4) ↖ said, .→.±os_ ();

The man shook his head: "The name is not clear, only the surname is Tian." ”

"Thank you, uncle. Uncle was hospitable. I wanted to invite my uncle to drink, but my brothers and I wanted to try the interview again and explain it clearly. Uncle this 100 yuan, you take it to drink wine. Fu Heng took out a handful of copper coins from his arms and handed them to the man. Where is that man embarrassed to ask? The two of them pushed back and forth. In the end, Fu Heng put the money on the stone mill. Mention the cake diǎn bow goodbye.

Out of the outside, Rong Yunhe said: "The Li family is so unscrupulous and forcible to take it, isn't he afraid that people will sue him?" ”

Fu Heng shook his head: "First, his dishes taste good, his business is good, and he recruits cooks, these are all legitimate means, and they are obtained through legitimate bidding." The statutes are not for him; Second, all restaurants. None of them are in the name of the Li family's father and son, even if they sue, they can't catch him. ”

Rong Yunhe sighed: "What are their families going to make so much money for? ”

Fu Heng glanced at her: "With money, you can buy people's hearts; With these restaurants, you can control public opinion in Pingzhou City, collect news, and so on. ”

Rong Yunhe stopped and said with some frustration: "Isn't that all my MSG to blame?" I will never sell MSG to the Li family again. ”

Fu Heng shook his head and said, "The knife can cut vegetables and wood." If someone uses it to kill someone, it can only be said that it is the fault of that person, and it will never be the fault of the knife. How can you blame your MSG for this? Putting this matter aside, you are short of money to build a house now, and you still hope that Shopkeeper Li can come to buy MSG, right? If you don't sell to him, you have to sell it to others, and if you have a profit, these people will be able to come up with all kinds of means to make some restaurant businesses fail, which is inevitable.

Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, this is a normal change in the business field, and you don't have to blame yourself for it at all. Also, if your MSG suddenly stops selling now, and the way of money is cut off, this is a great enemy, and then I am afraid that they will do some drastic measures, and you will be in danger. Therefore, if the shopkeeper Li comes to buy MSG, you can sell it to him. ”

Rong Yunhe thought for a while and raised his head: "But when they gain power, you will be suppressed by them, won't I help the abuse?" ”

Fu Heng looked ahead, raised his head and smiled: "This matter has nothing to do with you, even if there is no MSG like you, they will still have the means they should have." Don't worry, my father and I are both people who are becoming more and more courageous, so we have repeatedly performed miraculous feats and won this fame. What tricks does the Li family have, and then it's it, it's not a big deal. ”

At this time, he had walked to Chef Li's house and knocked on the door knocker again.

"Who?" What came out this time was not the old woman, but a young daughter-in-law, probably the daughter of Chef Li's son-in-law.

"This eldest sister, we are friends of Master Li's original owner, and we are entrusted by him to come and see Master Li." This time, Fu Heng was no longer reckless, but pulled the blame. Anyway, I'll wait until I enter the door.

The daughter-in-law glanced at the two of them a few times, and when she saw the cake in Fu Heng's hand, she half believed it, and asked, "Since you said that it was sent by my father's owner, do you know his name?" ”

"Uncle Tian's name, we can't talk nonsense as juniors." Fu Heng said with a smile.

"Come in." The daughter-in-law opened the door and let them in.

"Fifth sister, why did you let these two in? Get out, get me out quickly. When I entered the door, I happened to meet the old woman who came out of the house, and when I saw Fu Heng and the two, I shook my hands and drove them away.

"Who are you?" Among the flowers and trees in the courtyard, an old man straightened up and asked.

"Dad, they said that it was a friend of the shopkeeper Tian who came to see you." The daughter-in-law was afraid of being scolded by her mother again, so she hurriedly explained.

"Oh?" The old man put down the hoe in his hand and walked over to look at the two of them.

Rong Yunhe smiled bitterly, anyway, he got here. was looked at three times like a thief.

Fu Heng knew the truth of preemptive strike, and before the old man could ask, he arched his hand and said, "Master Li." I am familiar with the shopkeeper Tian, because of a restaurant, but the cook poached the shopkeeper of the Fulin Building, and the shopkeeper Tian saw that he was worried, so he recommended you, saying that you are a superb old chef and a righteous person. So the two brothers and I came to visit today. Presumptuous. Please also invite Master Li Haihan. ”

Hearing this, the expressions of the three members of the Li family softened. Chef Li said: "When did you see the shopkeeper Tian?" Is he in good health? ”

Fu Heng saw that his expression was casual, and he didn't look like an interrogator. Then he said: "I saw you a few days ago, and my health is fine, thank you Master Li for remembering." ”

Chef Li washed his hands in the basin brought by his daughter and said, "Let's sit in the house of the two sons." ”

Fu Heng and Rong Yunhe followed him into the hall. Divide the guests to sit down. Chef Li said: "Thank you to the shopkeeper Tian for remembering the villain." also bothered the two sons to run this trip. But the old man is old, he can't eat more than two bowls of rice a day, he can't wear a few feet of clothes, he earns this family business in this life, and he has a daughter and son-in-law to support him, and I don't want to serve people anymore. also asked the two sons to bring this to the old club, and said that the old man was sorry. ”

Seeing that Chef Li's joy had not risen, he was poured down by his words again. Fu Heng and Rong Yunhe's disappointment can be imagined. But think about Chef Lee. They can understand it, too. The old man has worked hard all his life, and now he enjoys happiness at home. And as it should be. If they persuade again, it will be inhumane.

Thinking of this, Fu Heng was not interested in sitting down again, chatted a few words of gossip about the village and houses, and got up to leave.

Chef Li's wife was not at ease, so he came in and sat on the side to listen to their conversation, but when he saw that the old man refused, Fu Heng and the others never reminded him to go out of the mountain, and they also knew that they had misunderstood first, so they were embarrassed to get up, and warmly asked the two to have dinner here.

"No, there are still elders in the family, and I didn't greet them, if we let them worry, it's because we are ignorant as juniors. So my aunt's kindness, my two brothers understood it and said goodbye. Fu Heng smiled, stood up and arched his hand, and was about to raise his feet and go out.

"Which restaurant is yours?" Chef Li sat still and asked.

When Fu Heng and Rong Yunhe heard this question, they were overjoyed and stopped.

Speaking of two brothers, naturally all the responses are based on the elder brother. Therefore, Fu Heng turned around and replied, "The original Yuelai Restaurant." ”

"Yuelai? It's a bustling area for people to come and go. Chef Li still sat firmly in his chair, but his fingers kept tapping on the armrests of the chair, as if he was having trouble deciding.

"Old man......" The old woman had already gotten up to see her off, and when she saw this, she looked at Chef Li worriedly, and stopped talking. Obviously, she didn't want Chef Li to go out and do things again.

Chef Li pondered for a while, then waved his hand dejectedly: "Forget it, people are old and useless, so they are still staying at home and waiting for death." ”

"Master Li, do you think that apprentice of yours is really using his skills to win you?" Rong Yunhe spoke.

If the old man had been resolute in refusing, she would not have said anything more. But now it can be seen that Chef Li is still very willing to go out and do some more things, and it can be seen from his fiddling with flowers and trees that this old man is used to doing things and can't rest at all. In this case, it is better to invite him out of the mountain, and he does not need to do too much, and it is good to sit in the store, at least it can be reassuring.

Chef Li was stunned: "Isn't it?" ”

"Of course not."

"At that time, I had tasted his cooking, and the taste was several times more delicious than what I made, how could it be fake? If this is so delicious, I will be convinced. Chef Li stood up excitedly.

After saying this, seeing that Rong Yunhe only smiled and did not answer, a suspicious look appeared on his face again, and he stared at Rong Yunhe and said, "This son, you were not present at the time, how do you know that he didn't win me with his skills?" But I also wondered, his skills were all taught by me, why did he improve his skills overnight and make such delicious dishes? I came back and thought about this question for a long time, but I never understood. When he came, I asked him, and he said that as long as I went to work in his new owner's restaurant, he would naturally sue me. Hmph, he thinks beautifully! I have been working in the Tian shopkeeper restaurant for more than ten years, how can I betray my old club because of a small profit? ”

Rong Yunhe still didn't smile and didn't answer, turned his head to the old woman and said, "Auntie, I want to borrow it from your kitchen, okay?" ”

If it weren't for the old man of his own house to stop these two people, they would have left a long time ago, unlike those people who were coerced and entangled in the previous times. So Aunt Li had a good impression of Rong Yun and the two, glanced at the old man, saw him slightly diǎn head, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, come on." ”

Fu Heng knew that Rong Yunhe wanted to speak with facts, and when he saw that Chef Li wanted to follow, he hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Master Li, let's just wait here." ”

This means that you are not allowed to see it?

Chef Li naturally knows the rules of the culinary world, and if others are not allowed to see it, he cannot peep, otherwise he will be regarded as a stealer. So my lips moved twice, and finally I didn't say anything and sat down. After a while, I saw Aunt Li walk in, he stood up "Teng", hurriedly greeted him, and opened his mouth to ask, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he had to sit down again.

Aunt Li didn't know what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "That son asked me for a few cabbages, and he sent me out." ”

After speaking, he greeted Fu Heng: "Son, drink tea." ”

Rong Yunhe didn't let them wait long, and after about two cups of tea, she came in with a tray and two plates of stir-fried vegetables: "What is the difference between the taste of these two plates of vegetables?" ”

As soon as the connoisseur stretches out his hand, he will know if there is one. Chef Li looked at the appearance of this dish, and couldn't help but look up at Rong Yunhe, his eyes full of doubts. This dish is made in the hands of Rong Yun and this kind of son, which is very good, put oil and salt and stir-fry in a hurry, the vegetable stalks are cooked thoroughly, and the vegetable leaves are green. But in the eyes of Chef Li, he is not professional enough - what does this boy mean by showing two plates of fried vegetables in front of him as an amateur?

Rong Yun and Xiao Hee handed the chopsticks to the three of them respectively, pointed to the plate on the far left and said, "Try a plate first." ”

The three of them stretched out their chopsticks and tasted it, and Aunt Li smiled first: "I can't see it, this little boy is from everyone, but he doesn't want to be able to make a dish, the oil and salt are put properly, and the heat is well controlled, not bad." ”

Chef Li pointed to the dish with chopsticks and said, "The key to stir-frying cabbage is that the pot is hot, oily, and fierce." Your dish, the pot is not hot enough when the dish is cooked, the oil is not enough, and the fire is not fierce enough when stir-frying......"

Aunt Li glared at him: "You old man, your son is a scholar, it is excellent to be able to make such a dish, and you don't need to be a cook, what are you doing here?" (To be continued.) )
