Chen Qiuniang stopped and turned to look over, and the big boss also stood up. "What?" she asked. ”

He stood where he was, didn't come over, didn't beckon her to come over, just asked, "You know how to read and write, what books did you read when you were young?" ”

"The family invited a master to teach literacy, and often talked about the way of Confucius and Mencius, and the history of the art of war. In addition, the nearby Taoist temple has a rich collection of books, my family often worships the Yuan Shi Tianzun, and I have to help, I love to read, even if I soak in the Taoist study all day. I learned a lot, and even many of the recipes in my cooking skills came from old books. Qiu Niang was unhurried, and her face did not change and she told lies. Anyway, she is not afraid of being investigated, when the Chen family was in Chenjiazhuang, there was a Taoist temple nearby, and later I heard that there were many military disasters, and Qingcheng County was more responsible than Chengdu Mansion, and the Taoist temple had already been burned down.

"I see. That's what you're supposed to read. The big boss nodded, as if believing her words, but said such an inexplicable word.

What do you mean by reading these books in the first place?

Chen Qiuniang had doubts in her heart, but she didn't want to dig deeper, she knew that this conversation could not be continued, even if it continued with little effect. To persuade the man in front of him to give up dealing with Chen Wenzheng and let her go down the mountain to continue her catering career, this is not a simple process, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight.

"Then I'm going to prepare the ingredients?" Chen Qiuniang blessed her body.

"Go ahead." The big boss nodded.

Chen Qiuniang turned around and went downstairs to the house to tidy up, and the previous fat woman brought in three young men in short shirts to assist Chen Qiuniang in cooking. Chen Qiuniang instructed the three of them to go to the bamboo forest outside the cottage to choose bamboo shoots, and while selecting bamboo shoots, they were introduced to the method of digging bamboo shoots and several homely practices of bamboo shoots. All three of them are in charge of the kitchen in the cottage and are very fond of cooking. Chen Qiuniang talked with them, and they became acquainted with each other after a while. The three men seemed to have met a bosom friend, from the initial restraint to the later nothing to talk about, and also took the initiative to tell Chen Qiuniang about the condiments they usually used.

The four of them walked all the way, chatting all the way, and after a while, they dug bamboo shoots around this cottage, pinched some delicate bracken, and caught fish and crabs in the stream. In addition, we look for delicate wild leeks and various seasoned grasses and leaves in the mountains.

After working for most of the day, the four of them entered the kitchen. This level of cooking is not just based on a mouth, it has to be in the kitchen. From the ordinary washing and selection of vegetables, you can get a glimpse of one or two. As for the exclusive secret recipe for seasoning, the placement of the pattern is at the level of the god of cooking. The three of them thought that Chen Qiuniang was a fellow traveler before, but when she finished her meal, the three of them were already in awe, and bowed to this little girl, saying that they admired it from the bottom of their hearts.

She made a bamboo rice, stir-fried bamboo shoots, minced meat bracken, steamed fish, boiled crab, and a dipping sauce made with a unique plant juice.

"Can I get into the eyes of your big bosses with this meal?"

"Get in, get in. How can we do it so exquisitely? All three replied in unison.

"You are all people who love cooking. Modest. Chen Qiuniang chuckled.

"Not modest. None of us have ever been exposed to any big feasts, we just like to eat, and dishes like yours are big for us, at least we haven't seen these methods of yours. One of them, Chen Mo, said very sincerely.

"It's just a home-cooked dish, easy to make, and the ingredients are simple. I've seen a lot of dishes, and some of them take years just to find the ingredients. A dish takes decades to prepare, but after it is made, there is only a small piece, and that is the ultimate luxury. Chen Qiuniang said that when she was traveling in Switzerland in the past year, she met a Chinese food master, and said that she had made a fish, and the fish alone had to be prepared for half a year, but the side dishes had to be prepared for five or six years, and it was necessary to find out the one-year-old and fat and lean meat from thousands of river fish. The master once proudly said that it was his private dish, and he had made it three times in his life, once for his girlfriend's future wife, once for his mentor, and once for use at a state banquet.

At that time, she was talking to the old man about the kitchen in Switzerland. It was also that time, she was just ignorant and liked cooking, she met a real master, understood the meaning of food, and felt that food was simply the most elegant martial arts and the most intoxicating rivers and lakes.

"That's it. I also heard that a chef pickled a wild boar cloud leg and told his descendants to open the seal after a thousand years, and if the family is in the middle of the road, it can be presented to the powerful or the emperor, and they can get money. But after the seal was opened, they were afraid that they would be charged with murder. I eat it myself, after using it, I feel refreshed, my lips and teeth are fragrant, and at that moment, later generations were shocked to realize that this cloud leg that has been left for thousands of years is a rare delicacy in the world. It is truly extraordinary for a chef to look at the future with the eyes of a thousand years and anticipate the taste of the future. The smaller of the three said excitedly.

"Hmm. Some foods have been brewed over time before they can bring out their unique flavor. It's a realm, a way of being delicious. Chen Qiuniang replied, and thought of the thousand-year-old wine cellar, what kind of thoughts did the people who used to seal the food there have, and who did the wine leave to. She suddenly thought of the word "Zhaoren" again, which really didn't look like a person's name.

"yes. For example, the dried radish in our hometown is simply more precious the longer it gets. Another man named Zhou Ming, who had fewer words, also interjected.

"Time is the most wonderful thing, it can corrupt many things, and make them disappear their traces; Time can also change many things, there is food in the kitchen, and in life, people's personalities may become calm and calm over time. Speaking of which, cooking is really a high-end realm, which contains too much kung fu and too many life principles. Ordinary people just can't understand it. Chen Qiuniang made a summary, feeling that it had been a long time since I had discussed with others in addition to the above things and talked so happily.

Li Kai, Chen Mo, and Zhou Ming, although these three people have average cooking skills, their understanding of cooking skills is not ordinary. Chen Qiuniang thought that if they were trained, they would definitely be able to take charge of themselves.

At this moment, she instantly felt that being caught on this mountain was not all a bad thing. Originally, she was worried about where to find someone with a foundation, a foundation, and an interest but who had never been stereotyped to train as a chef. Aren't these three ready-made now?

Gotta find a way to poach them. She was convinced that she would be able to go down the mountain and continue her catering business. It's just that the time and how to go down the mountain, she doesn't know the bottom of her heart. However, since it is determined that the three people are poached, it is necessary to seize various opportunities from now on to lobby them.

Chen Qiuniang said that she would do it, and immediately sighed and said: "I have always loved deliciousness, love to discover deliciousness, create delicious food, and create deliciousness." To tell you the truth, I happened to be with an enlightened proprietor before I was caught up in the mountains. The owner is preparing to open a restaurant, ask me to be the chef, buy the delicacies of the world at the lowest price, create my own food empire, and let our food spread all over the north and south. For someone who is dedicated to making delicious food, it's a thrilling thing to think about. Alas. ”

She sighed again, and then added, "Unfortunately, now I'm being caught up the mountain." My host's mother is also in your hands, and you must force my proprietor to spend all his wealth, alas. ”

She sighed again and again, and the three of them stood in the kitchen and looked at each other. In the end, it was the youngest Li Kai who opened his mouth and said, "Your business, we are not clear. However, I heard that it was the big boss who owed people a favor, so he had to do this. I sent the three masters to go. The big boss is a man of his word, and I am afraid that there is no room for turning back in this matter. It's a shame indeed. ”

Chen Mo and Zhou Ming also echoed Li Kai's views. Chen Qiuniang also nodded, and said sadly: "I know." Immediately, she immediately changed to a different person, and said very firmly, "But create a food empire, study food, and sell food." Let my restaurants open all over the north and south, but this ideal will not stop. I believe that with my cooking skills, there will be people who will be willing to work with me. I promise to make this hotel a sought-after and well-known place in the north and south. If I am lucky enough to be able to go down the mountain and continue to build my food empire, I wonder if the three of them can come to help? ”

She got to the point, looking at the three of them expectantly. The three of them looked at each other, and finally it was Chen Mo who said, "We really want to." But there are rules in this Zhuxi Mountain, except for going out to do errands, the rest of the people are not allowed to go down the mountain without permission. ”

"Yes, yes. Unless it is allowed by the owner. Li Kai and Zhou Ming also agreed.

"As long as the three of them have a heart, the big boss is there, I'll say it." Chen Qiuniang's expression was bright, and when the three of them were still stunned, she waved her hand and said, "Hurry up and send these to the big boss." From the kitchen to his small building, this distance, walked over, and the warmth of this dish was just right. ”

The three of them came back to their senses this time, and only then did they help Chen Qiuniang hold the dishes and hurriedly sent them to the big boss. On the way to send it, Chen Mo still couldn't hold back, and asked Chen Qiuniang in a low voice: "I don't know how Qiuniang persuaded the big boss to let us go?" ”

"Huh? I am so good at cooking, and I will continue to build a food empire in the future, and I want to invite the big boss to join the shares, and Zhuxishan will escort the restaurant, which is very good. When the time comes, you will come to the hotel as a shareholder to do things, and you will also do things for Zhuxishan. The big boss must have allowed it, and it didn't break the rules of Zhuxi Mountain. Chen Qiuniang smiled and told Chen Mo to listen.

Li Kai and Zhou Ming also came over with food to listen, and they were excited again and again: "If only every state capital had our restaurant." That-, this-"

"Yes. I have seen this troubled world for so many years, and I guess it is almost over. After the troubled times are over, the hotel business will be better, and at that time, not only will our food be all over the country, but we will also be able to make a lot of money. Well, everyone makes money. Chen Qiuniang said.

Li Kai and the three of them were already very excited, and said again and again that this was the truth. The four of them took the food together and went up to the bamboo building and laid out the meal. The big boss seemed to be smiling, only waved his hand at her, and said, "I'm tired of you, you go down first." ”

Chen Qiuniang left with a blessing. She knew very well that the conversation she had just had with Li Kai and the three would fall into the ears of the big boss word for word. This is what she wants, so that the big boss will come back to talk to her in detail if he understands it halfway. If you only talk about the partner hotel at that time, then you have a high chance of success.

She felt that she was one step closer to success, so she happily went downstairs, but as soon as she reached the staircase, she saw a man in a short shirt jumping up the bamboo building quickly, shouting while running, saying: "Big boss, big boss, there are officers and soldiers throwing boats at the Zhuxi ferry." Someone else shouted—"

"What are you clamoring for?" The big boss asked aloud.

Chen Qiuniang also paused, her heart couldn't help pounding, could it be that Zhang Ci really came? However, there are mountains near Zhuxi Mountain, and the water is deep and the terrain is complicated. If the mountain bandits of Zhuxi Mountain fight against the officers and soldiers, I am afraid that they may not be able to win.

"Someone, someone shouted, if the bandits of Zhuxi Mountain did not let go of his daughter-in-law, he would set foot on Zhuxi Mountain." The messenger said.

When Chen Qiuniang heard this, she was angry and funny. If you can say this, who else can there be, it must be that Jiang Fan. RS
