Chapter 118: Hanging Soup

Lao Duan left the office, and Wang Qiao said, "I'll live here tonight, so as not to be a moth." Tomorrow you wake me up early, try not to let the restaurant close, if it closes, there will be losses. ”

Emin said, "You just sleep in this office, and there is a marching bed in the room. ”

Wang Qiao said: "It seems that I can't go home during the Spring Festival, so I have to eat and sleep here." You asked people to clean up the attic room on the third floor, and I will live on the third floor in the future. ”

There is a loft on the third floor, which is usually piled up with sundries, and rats are rampant here, and employees are reluctant to go up. Ai Min said: "We all rent houses outside, how can we let you live in the attic alone, the three of them are a two-bedroom suite, and you will live in the old Duan's room in the future." ”

Wang Qiao said: "In the early days of the business, saving one is counted as one, I will sleep in the attic, and the old room will be reserved for the new chef." I'll go to accompany the guests again, and I'll be called if something happens. ”

In the lobby, Lu Yifan and others drank two bottles of liquor, and no one was drunk, but they were all excited. Lu Yifan and Wang Qiao touched another glass of wine, and said: "Wang Qiao is a good person, it is completely the style of the sports department, most of the boys in the Chinese department are sour, and they still write poems at every turn." ”

Wang Qiao said: "There are not many people who write poetry in the Chinese department, and what you see is only a very few. He added: "What's wrong with writing poetry, this is the business of the Chinese department." ”

Lu Yifan laughed and said: "Can you imagine a boy with long hair standing on the stage and reciting-the sea, ah, you are so wide." That sour taste, haha. ”

Wang Qiao said: "You are arrogant and prejudiced. You really think I'm sour. ”

Lu Yifan said: "You are different from them, you are a supernumerary student of the Department of Physical Education." ”

Another girl said drunkenly: "I thought you were a junior or senior when I played this afternoon, but I didn't expect it to be a freshman." Let me tell you an experience, if you want to fall in love, you have to be fast. Thick-skinned, otherwise a good girl will become someone else's girlfriend. ”

Wang Qiao said briskly: "For this experience." Let's have a toast. ”

The girl was quite arrogant, raised her glass and touched it, and then said to Lu Yifan: "Don't you often say that you haven't fallen in love once when you graduate, Wang Qiao is good, fall in love with him, and after graduation, you will be cut in two, how refreshing." ”

Lu Yifan looked Wang Qiao up and down and said, "This can still be considered." ”

As the saying goes, drunk comes later. As a latecomer, Wang Qiao encountered a wheel war and drank with five classmates one after another. After drinking to the third round, Lu Yifan stopped him righteously, which ended the wheel war and began to touch the wine fairly.

The meal didn't end until nine o'clock, and the five physical education students all drank well, and the two boys, although they stumbled, still knew to vomit in the toilet. Lu Yifan's wine is surprisingly good. She drank a lot of wine, just a little drunk, she held a female classmate in her left and right hands, talked and laughed and entered the school gate.

After seeing off the guests. Wang Qiao went to the toilet and vomited for a while, then returned to the office and slept on the marching bed.

Emin urged the waiter to clean up the restaurant and called the buyer to the corner to talk. It is clear that she will not procure it. After the buyer returned to the dormitory, he closed the mosquito net and shed tears for a long time. Emin sighed. A man came to the kitchen and made a bowl of shredded pork noodles. The noodles are made with sauerkraut, balsamic vinegar and chili peppers. After making the noodles, I personally brought them to the office on the second floor.

Sauerkraut noodles are very appetizing to Wang Qiao, and after eating the noodles, the wine is rising again, he covers his mouth and runs out of the door, and vomits again in the toilet, which is how he eases up.

Emin said with concern: "I have already asked the procurement to change the guard, and tomorrow I will go grocery shopping." ”

Wang Qiao rubbed his temples and said, "Lao Duan is gone, you have to stay in the store to avoid chaos." You open a purchase list for me, and I will make a temporary cameo purchase, and I will deal with the past two days first. ”

Ai Min didn't insist anymore, and advised: "Our store's roast chicken, sauerkraut fish and fatty intestine fish have been recognized by diners, the important reason is that Lao Duan's ability to hang the soup is good, tomorrow you have to choose local chicken and old duck when you buy, and you have to start hanging the soup early in the morning." ”

Wang Qiao said: "I'm just buying for two days, and you have to look for new purchases in these two days." Don't be sad, the opening of the restaurant will definitely not be smooth sailing, and after this hurdle, what else can stump you. Go to bed early, and work hard tomorrow. ”

"If you can't sleep early, I'll open the menu to you." Emin looked for a pen and paper, but without thinking, she began to write. wrote a few sentences and said: "We have to change the direction, at least take the mid-range route in the future, and let some big families directly send us food, so that it will be clear." At present, only a few varieties are directly supplied by farmers, and it will be expanded to most varieties in the future. ”

Wang Qiao saw the speed at which Emin wrote the purchase details, and understood that this was a woman who had put her heart into the restaurant, and said: "This is a matter for the future, deal with the most difficult things in front of you first." ”

At half past four in the morning, Wang Qiao was woken up by the alarm clock sent by Ai Min, and immediately realized that it was too hard to run the wholesale market during this time period. After washing his face and brushing his teeth with cold water, he woke up from his confusion.

The kitchen was steaming hot, and everyone was preparing breakfast. Ai Min saw Wang Qiao and said earnestly: "The steamed buns have not yet been basketed, eat an egg and top it first." ”

Wang Qiao swallowed the egg in his stomach in one bite, tied the bamboo basket to the trunk of the motorcycle, and drove towards the wholesale market in the cold wind.

The wholesale market has just opened, and pick-up trucks are entering the market one after another. Wang Qiao rode his motorcycle to the tomato stall and asked for the price. The man who sold tomatoes yawned and said, "How much do you want?" Twenty pounds, six cents a pound. Wang Qiao asked the price at the farmers' market yesterday, and knew that the retail price of tomatoes was nine cents to one piece, and said, "It's more expensive, less expensive." The tomato man said with a disdainful face: "More than a hundred catties, four cents and five." I'm opening a business, otherwise who sells twenty pounds. He saw that Wang Qiao was a new face, and he was definitely not an old purchaser, so he was not very polite.

When he came to the ginger stall, the small buyer Wang Qiao was also given a cold reception.

Angry, the embarrassed poor little buyer filled the basket behind the motorcycle, stood on the wet, cold and slippery ground, the cold wind blew his nose red and swollen, Wang Qiao began to forgive the former buyer.

Returning to the old taste and drinking a bowl of hot porridge, Wang Qiao's body warmed up. Emin weighed all the dishes one by one, opened a list, and handed it to the purchaser to sign.

Seven o'clock. There were sporadic passers-by who came for breakfast.

The fish farm drove to send silver carp, silver carp, grass carp, crucian carp, etc., which were 100 catties. Wang Qiao used to make fish only for relatives and friends to enjoy, and it was a matter of one pot and two pots. Today's fish is mass production, and whether he can maintain a stable level is a great test for him as a guest chef.

At half past seven, the vendor brought the chickens. Emin examined them one by one and got into a heated argument with the vendor, who finally brought back three roosters that were suspected to be raised from a chicken farm, and when he got into the car, he muttered, "This mother-in-law is a bad chicken woman, and his husband is guilty." ”

After breakfast, Lao Duan came over with the bill to settle the accounts. His calculations were very legal, and he even counted all the overtime pay for more than eight hours. The three of them were going to take 20,000 yuan. Ai Min originally had the intention of calming people, looked at the bill and was dumbfounded, and said, "Master Duan, I gave you a salary every month, how can I calculate 20,000 yuan." Also, working in the kitchen is not overtime, and no one has ever counted overtime pay. ”

Lao Duan said: "I can calculate every stroke clearly, which one is not clear, you point it out to me." If not, I will go to the labor department to complain, and I will also go to the epidemic prevention department. There is a lot of meat that has not been dry and clean. ”

Emin had a quarrel with the chicken seller just now, and he didn't get his breath in a good mood, so he was stimulated by Lao Duan to stop thinking about the past, and raised his voice and said, "Everyone is a restaurant." I have never seen a person settle accounts like this, and I don't give a lot of money that should be given, and I don't give a cent when I shouldn't. You want to go to the epidemic prevention department to file a complaint. My feet are on you, and I don't stop you. ”

Lao Duan slapped the table. Said: "How fucking dare you not give it." ”

Emin, with her hair disheveled, also slapped the table, rolling up her sleeves. roared angrily: "The old lady worked hard to make a restaurant, the old lady didn't find the money, you people all want to come and bite two bites, it is really the middle of the night to choose peaches and pinch towards the ba." What do you want to do today, the old lady will accompany you to the end. ”

Lao Duan is a businessman who asks for a lot of money and sits on the ground to pay back, but he didn't expect to completely annoy the soft-spoken Emin, he opened his mouth to look at Emin with a hideous expression, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

The fat apprentice said: "Boss Du, you always have to take the money you should take." ”

Emin said angrily, "Shut up, there's no place for you to speak here." ”

The fat apprentice was blocked on the spot without finishing a word, and he had to follow the table. The other apprentice was a kind-hearted person, and secretly felt that the master Lao Duan had forced the kind-hearted Sister Du into a shrew, and he felt very sorry, so he reached out and grabbed the fat junior brother and shook his head gently.

Wang Qiao originally wanted to reduce 5,000 yuan and pay 10,000 yuan to Lao Duan, but seeing that Ai Min suddenly became furious, he watched the changes and did not speak for the time being.

Lao Duan said: "Boss Du, you have to say a price, it's impossible for us to walk away." ”

Ai Min wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "I won't lose everyone, the fare to go home must be paid, this month's salary has been paid, you are not easy to find a job during the Spring Festival, I will pay you an extra month's salary." I did the math, a total of 7200 yuan. We have only been open for two or three months, and the business was not good for a while, and we didn't make any money, and the employees in our store couldn't afford to pay bonuses. ”

Lao Duan said: "Rise a little, make up a whole number, 10,000 yuan." ”

Ai Min said categorically: "No, 7200, not a penny." ”

The two were stalemate for a while, and Lao Duan sighed and said, "Forget it, count me for eight lifetimes of blood mold, give money, let's walk." ”

The cashier delivered 7,200 yuan in cash to the office, and there were hundreds of yuan in ten-yuan bills, showing the embarrassment of the old taste. When Lao Duan and the others left with their luggage, Ai Min stood in front of the window with a pale face and watched, and the three figures walked farther and farther, and after turning the corner, they finally disappeared. She suddenly felt that all her strength had been drained, and she collapsed on the bamboo and rattan chair, and she had no strength to speak.

Wang Qiao hurriedly brought a glass of warm water over and said, "If the tiger is not powerful, they think it is a sick cat." The first time I saw you today, this is the temperament of the boss, I used to be too gentle, these rough men don't eat the set of thin voices at all, and the loud voice has an effect. ”

Emin drank the water, let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "I feel a little sorry for Lao Duan, I invited him over." In fact, he is easy to talk about and discuss, and if he doesn't force me, he can still give them some extra wages, and it is not easy to hire a ready-made team of chefs. ”

Wang Qiao said: "If you have been vicious when they first came, maybe you can still cooperate now." He thinks that you are too good at talking, which will cause greed, and people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants. ”

Emin tied her hair back and said, "Regardless of the old Duan's affairs, let's deal with today's scene first." I called another master, his craftsmanship is even better than Lao Duan, if he is willing to come, I have the confidence to make the old taste. ”

Wang Qiao said: "Through the old story, I am also reflecting on how to solve the problem of chef loyalty, if the new chef has good skills and good character, you can consider long-term cooperation, such as giving some shares." A few more tosses around our restaurant will be over. ”

Emin recalled the brief encounter with Lao Duan and still felt exhausted, so she naturally agreed with the idea. After resting for a while, she recovered a little bit and went to the kitchen with Wang Qiao to watch the hanging soup.

How the hanging soup is directly determines the taste of the dishes and the business of the restaurant.
