Chapter 045: The First Step

"The boss doesn't like northerners, so I won't go in." Chai Yu stopped near the Yunlai Inn.

Chen Qiuniang is not reluctant, this is about to talk about cooperation with northerners that Chen Wenzheng doesn't like, and it is likely to be self-defeating and the talks will collapse. If the talks fell apart, she would have to re-plan.

"Then you go back first, don't wait for me, I don't know when we can negotiate." Chen Qiuniang said, took out a pot helmet from the package and handed it over, saying, "This is my own hand, the taste is okay, you can taste it." ”

"Thisβ€”" Chai Yu was obviously not good at words other than talking about his father.

"Hey, taste, I'm over." Chen Qiuniang stuffed the pot helmet into his hand and ran quickly towards the Yunlai Inn.

The Yunlai Inn is still cold, and even the old man who bought saltwater peanuts is not at the door today. However, Pan Qing was standing at the door, as if he had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Chen Qiuniang, he rubbed his eyes exaggeratedly, turned around and ran into the store, shouting as he ran: "Young master, Miss Chen is here." ”

As soon as the words fell, Chen Qiuniang saw Chen Wenzheng walking out quickly, wearing a cyan robe, and when she saw Chen Qiuniang, she bowed and said, "Miss Chen is fortunate to meet." ”

Chen Qiuniang said with a smile: "My house is far away from here, so it's late, Chen Gongzi is not surprised." ”

"Don't get in the way, please come inside." Chen Wenzheng smiled like a spring breeze, Confucian demeanor.

Chen Qiuniang was also not polite, walked into the store quickly and sat down, Chen Wenzheng looked around, and finally asked, "Didn't the cook come?" ”

"Am I not?" Chen Qiuniang laughed.

Chen Wenzheng's eyes widened, and he said with a look of disbelief: "You? ”

"yes." Chen Qiuniang replied crisply, seeing that the master and servant in front of her were wide-eyed, with a look of disbelief. That Chen Wenzheng was very cultivated, and he didn't ask directly, so Panqing said unceremoniously: "Don't be joking, little girl, we don't have time to spend it with you." ”

"Little Brother Panqing, this is looking down on people. You haven't seen my cooking, so it's not good to judge like this. Chen Qiuniang said as she spoke, usually taking out the remaining pot helmet and handing it to Pan Qing and Chen Wenzheng, "Come, this is what I made this morning, two of you can take a look, this taste can still be on the table." ”

Chen Wenzheng's face was more solemn, and he still motioned for Panqing to take the pot helmet.

"The conditions of the home are simple, and the appearance is a little worse." Chen Qiuniang is modest. In fact, the pot helmet she branded is crispy and burnt yellow, exuding a fragrant face, which makes people drool when they see it.

"It looks delicious." Chen Wenzheng is a scholar in the end, and his cultivation is very good. Otherwise, how could it be possible to waste time here with a little girl. Everyone knows that a good cook needs a lot of practical experience in addition to talent. She Chen Qiuniang has no experience at first glance, where can she see so many wonderful cooking skills, even if she is lucky enough to see it, her family is so poor, where are there any ingredients to exercise.

"Thank you Chen Gongzi for the compliment, how about you taste it?" Chen Qiuniang mentions yì.

Chen Wenzheng is really well-cultivated, and motioned to Panqing to take it to the kitchen and cut it. After waiting for Panqing to leave, he said very seriously: "Girl, the kitchen of this inn restaurant is not as good as the meal of your family." I'm not going to play with you. ”

"Chen Gongzi hasn't seen my cooking skills yet, how can he know that I am a child's play? Besides, Chen Gongzi's ambition is not to be a shopkeeper. Those who have accomplished great things, throughout the ages, have categorically not made judgments. Chen Qiuniang's words were reasonable, and she also smashed a certain high hat by the way.

Chen Wenzheng was about to be told about the central matter, sat upright, sighed and said: "The girl is young, I didn't expect it to be my bosom friend." ”

"Childe, you're laughing again. You are a model of a scholar in these ten miles and eight towns, who doesn't know. She must have listened to others. Pan Qing came out with a pot helmet, and his tone was full of hostility.

Chen Qiuniang smiled, boasted of her loyalty, and planned for her son everywhere. Panqing snorted disdainfully.

"Little brother, try it too." Chen Qiuniang invited Panqing.

"Naturally, I'll try it first, in case you harbor evil intentions." Panqing's mouth is not polite.

Chen Qiuniang didn't care about him, he just took a piece and took a bite unceremoniously. For a while, Pan Qing's face showed surprise, and then he took another big bite, and his eyes swept over to look at Chen Qiuniang, his face was full of surprise.

"Panqing, how's it going?" Chen Wenzheng asked loudly.

"Childe, I've never eaten such a delicious cake." Panqing said as he ate all the pieces in his hand.

When Chen Wenzheng heard about it, he also picked up a piece and tasted it, nodded incessantly, and said, "It's really delicious." ”

"If it's hot, it's even better. I have limited materials, so if you insert sesame seeds or melon seeds, or peanut pieces, it will be more delicious. This is only a vegetarian type, if it is meat, you can also add pork, chicken, etc. At least twenty flavors can be made. Chen Qiuniang introduced, it can be regarded as the official start of the marketing speech.

Chen Wenzheng tasted a small piece again, nodded and said, "Miss Chen's craftsmanship is very good, but we are an inn, not a small vendor." This kind of food can't be on the table after all. ”

This man is sober and suitable to be a partner. Chen Qiuniang admired it in her heart, smiled, stood up, and said, "Childe believed in me that day, how can I live up to Childe's trust." This bread is just the dry food I made this morning. As for other dishes, I can still make hundreds of recipes. The vegetables eaten by ordinary people can be fried for twenty or thirty, that is, your lord's salt elbow, and I can also make it; As for the ultimate way to eat, I also have hundreds of ways to do it. ”

"Don't brag." Pan Qing spoke, but his demeanor and tone were much gentler.

"Why don't you let me try it and make a few dishes from the ingredients in the kitchen?" Chen Qiuniang seized the opportunity. A qiΔ“ thing has to be told by facts.

"Then try." Chen Wenzheng chuckled, but his expression was not as suspicious as before.

Chen Qiuniang followed Panqing to the kitchen of Yunlai Inn.

The kitchen is spacious, but it's an old-fashioned stove. It is still necessary to pull the bellows, although it is to save fuel, the smoke exhaust design is very unscientific, and part of the smoke smell of fuel will linger in the kitchen, which will stain the smell of the dish. The distinction between ingredients and seasonings is too confusing, and the mixing of cutting boards and other things is unhygienic and affects the taste of food. As for the cooking utensils, to be honest, the cooking utensils are not as high-grade as the Chen family's scenery, and even the iron pot is not made of good iron.

In such a kitchen, the celebrity chef is here, and the meals made here have to be reduced by five cents. If you want to cooperate in the future, this kitchen must be changed. Not only that, but the faΓ§ade of this inn has to be renovated. However, these are difficult for her to have a civil engineering department. When the time came, the drawings were drawn, and Chen Wenzheng invited a craftsman to come over, and it was a matter of minutes.

Chen Qiuniang turned around, fried bamboo shoots with the ingredients in the kitchen, steamed a fish, cooked yellow flower vermicelli soup, and simply made a piece of salt-steamed chicken.

After finishing the work, on the table, Chen Wenzheng, Pan Qing and Chen Wenzheng's mother Chen Jiangshi sat down to taste the food, and the three of them only tasted everything, and they all looked at her with a face full of surprise.

"I don't know who the little girl is taught by?" Chen Jiang asked.

"Mrs. Hui, Qiu Niang has never had a teacher. If there is, it is the former cook in the family. Chen Qiuniang stood up and saluted back.

Chen Fangshi said "oh" in surprise, but Chen Qiuniang continued to say that she used to be a girl from a big family, and her mother also taught that women should be able to go to the hall and the kitchen, and they must be able to be popular or anything. So, she practiced first-hand cooking skills since she was a child. Now, the family is in the middle of the road, and there are younger brothers and grandmothers who need to be fed, so they come out to find a living.

"It's really rare and talented. However, the situation of our Yunlai Inn, you also know that even if we invite you, there will not be many monthly salaries. Although Chen Fang's family is a woman, he has also helped his husband take care of the inn, and every word is the calmness that a businessman should have.

Chen Qiuniang replied very politely: "Chen Gongzi told me about this situation before. I also said that I would not charge a penny of monthly wages until the inn's business improved. ”

"That'sβ€”that's not right." Chen Jiang shook his head and said, "Although we have a hard time, since we have invited you, how can we not give you a monthly salary." I don't know if you think we're bullying you. ”

Chen Qiuniang hurriedly shook her head and said, "Madame doesn't have to worry about it, I'll talk about it when I make money in the future." Now I have something to tell Madame SΓΉ, and if Madame still invites me, we will talk about the next step. ”

"What's the matter?" Chen Fangshi asked suspiciously. Chen Wenzheng, who was on the side, was also sitting on the side, listening carefully.

Chen Qiuniang cleared her throat and told her about the corpse. Chen Fangshi was still hesitating, but Chen Wenzheng said in a righteous manner: "Zi is silent, strange and confused, Miss Chen is so frank, it is really rare." ”

"So, you're inviting me?" Chen Qiuniang was very happy. She saw that Chen Wenzheng was upright that day, and she probably didn't care about such things, but she didn't expect it to be the case.

Chen Wenzheng nodded, and Chen Jiang's family did not object, and handed it over to his son to decide.

Chen Qiuniang let out a breath, this career can be regarded as the first step. Chen Wenzheng was also very excited and asked when Chen Qiuniang could take office. Chen Qiuniang shook her head and said, "Don't worry, please wait for Brother Panqing's pen and ink." ”

I don't know where I am, but I also took pen and ink. Chen Qiuniang asked sternly: "Chen Gongzi, you are a Confucian, and your ambitions are in the world. Now he has taken over this inn and contaminated the world, but it is all for the ancestral industry. Then, if we don't take over, we must do a good job, become bigger, and do a glorious job. ”

"This-" Chen Wenzheng hesitated, he really didn't know what kind of appearance he could do in this inn to be regarded as a glorious ancestor. As far as his father did a good enough, he still didn't think it was a glorious lintel. What's more, this businessman is cheap, and he is not in the stream, how can he still glorify his ancestors. But the girl in front of her seemed to be full of confidence.
